Buyer shall consult with Sellers with respect to the preparation of the Proposed Final Settlement Statement and shall consider in good faith any comments to the Proposed Final Settlement Statement that may be provided in good faith by Sellers.

(ii) Sellers will notify Buyer in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”) within thirty (30) days following Buyer’s delivery of the Proposed Final Settlement Statement (the “Review Period”) if Sellers disagree with the Proposed Final Settlement Statement by virtue of such document not being prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles and this Agreement; provided that Sellers shall not be permitted to dispute any line item of the Proposed Final Settlement Statement on any basis other than that such line item or calculation, as applicable, contains mathematical errors or has not been prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles. To be complete, the Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute, the amounts involved and Sellers’ good faith calculation of such disputed amounts. If Buyer has not received a Notice of Disagreement that substantially complies with this Section prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then the Proposed Final Settlement Statement will be deemed to have been accepted by Sellers in all respects and will become final and binding upon the Parties in accordance with Section 2(e)(iv).

(iii) During the thirty (30) day period immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement (the “Consultation Period”), Sellers and Buyer will attempt in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement.

(iv) If, at the end of the Consultation Period, Sellers and Buyer have been unable to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, then Sellers and Buyer will submit all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Notice of Disagreement (along with a copy of the Proposed Final Settlement Statement marked to indicate those line items that remain in dispute) to an independent certified public accounting firm in the United States of national recognition with appropriate actuarial expertise that does not serve as the independent auditor to Sellers, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates and is otherwise mutually agreeable to Sellers and Buyer) (the “Independent Expert”). Within thirty (30) days after the submission of such matters to the Independent Expert, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Independent Expert will make a final determination, binding on the Parties, of the appropriate amount of each of the line items in the Notice of Disagreement that Sellers and Buyer had not yet resolved as of the end of the Consultation Period. With respect to each such disputed line item, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Sellers or Buyer, shall not be more favorable to Sellers than the amounts advocated by Sellers in the Notice of Disagreement or more favorable to Buyer than the amounts advocated by Buyer in the Proposed Final Settlement Statement with respect to such disputed line item. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the Independent Expert’s review of the Proposed Final Settlement Statement shall be limited to a determination of whether such statement was prepared without mathematical errors and in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles and this Agreement, and (B) the Independent Expert shall not review any line items or make any determination with respect to any matters not subject to a dispute specifically identified in the Notice of Disagreement. The Proposed Final Settlement Statement, and the Proposed Final Capital and Surplus, as determined either through (x) agreement of the Parties (including pursuant to Section 2(e)(iii)), (y) the failure to timely deliver a Notice of Disagreement pursuant to Section 2(e)(ii) or (z) through the action of the Independent Expert pursuant to this Section 2(e)(iv), are referred to as the “Final Settlement Statement”, and the “Final Capital and Surplus”, respectively.

(v) The cost of the Independent Expert’s review and determination will be borne equally by Sellers and Buyer. During the Independent Expert’s review, Buyer and Sellers will each make available to the Independent Expert interviews with such individuals employed by them, and such information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Expert to fulfill its obligations under Section 2(e)(iv); provided, however, that the independent accountants and actuaries of Sellers or Buyer will not be obligated to make any work papers available to the Independent Expert unless and until the Independent Expert has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants or actuaries, as applicable. In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Expert will be entitled to the privileges and immunities of an arbitrator.

(vi) If the Final Capital and Surplus is less than the Estimated Capital and Surplus, then Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the excess of the Estimated Capital and Surplus over the Final Capital and Surplus (the “Excess Amount”). Such Excess Amount shall be payable (A) 25% in cash and (B) the remainder, at the option of Buyer, in Buyer Notes (valued for such purpose at the aggregate principal amount thereof), shares of common stock of Buyer (valued for such purpose at a price per share equal to the 30-Day VWAP as of the date of the Final Settlement Statement), or a combination thereof. If the Final Capital and Surplus is greater than the Estimated Capital and Surplus, then Buyer shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to the excess of the Final Capital and Surplus over the Estimated Capital and Surplus (the “Shortfall Amount”) in cash by Wire Transfer. The Shortfall Amount or the Excess Amount, as applicable, shall be due and payable on the second (2^nd) Business Day after the Final Settlement Statement and the Final Capital and Surplus become such in accordance with Section 2(e)(iv) (the “Settlement Date”). The Shortfall Amount or the Excess Amount, as applicable, (plus interest on such amount from the Closing Date up to but excluding the Settlement Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate as of the Closing Date), shall be paid on the Settlement Date. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all payments under this Section 2(e)(vi) shall be treated as adjustments to Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(A) to pay dividends in respect of their respective common stock in an amount not less than, in the aggregate, for both Targets, the lesser of (x) 25% of the Reserve Release Payment for such year (the “Target Dividend Amount”) and (y) the maximum dividend that such Target is then permitted by applicable Law to pay without the approval (or non-disapproval) of the Insurance Regulator of such Target’s state of domicile (the “Maximum Ordinary Dividend”); and

(B) if such Target Dividend Amount exceeds such Maximum Ordinary Dividend, to request approval (or non-disapproval) of the Insurance Regulator of the applicable Target’s state of domicile to pay a dividend in an amount equal to such excess; and, if such approval is received (or such proposed dividend in not disapproved within the time permitted for such Insurance Regulator to disapprove such request under applicable Law) to pay such dividend.

(ii) Within ten (10) Business Days following the date on which the Targets have either paid the entire Target Dividend Amount as dividends or received notice from the applicable Insurance Regulators disapproving payment of the dividend requested pursuant to Section 2(i)(i)(B), Buyer shall:

(A) pay to GAFRI by Wire Transfer a cash amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Target Dividend Amount and (y) the amount of dividends paid by the Targets pursuant to Section 2(i)(i); and

(B) at the option of Buyer, issue to GAFRI either (x) to the extent such notes have not yet matured, an amount of Buyer Notes (valued at the aggregate principal amount thereof), or (y) shares of common stock of Buyer (valued for such purpose at a price per share equal to the 30-Day VWAP as of the date of issuance), or a combination thereof, in an amount equal to the excess of (I) the Reserve Release Payment for the year over (II) the amount of cash paid pursuant to the foregoing Section 2(i)(ii)(A).

(iii) With respect to each Target, until and including the earlier of (A) December 31, 2019 and (B) the date on which the sum of all Reserve Release Payments equals the Reserve Release Target, Buyer shall cause such Target not to take any action for the purpose of impairing or impeding the ability of such Target to reduce its cash flow testing or premium deficiency reserves.

(j) Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i) each payment made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall be made net of any Taxes required by applicable Law to be deducted or withheld from such payment and (ii) any amounts deducted or withheld from any such payment shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Sellers. However, if Buyer determines it is, or may be, required to deduct or withhold any amounts from the consideration payable hereunder, prior to any such withholding or deduction, Buyer will consult with Sellers in good faith reasonably in advance regarding such determination and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other to avoid or otherwise mitigate any requirements to withhold or deduct any amounts from the consideration payable hereunder; provided that if the parties are unable to agree regarding the applicability of any such requirement, Buyer will be entitled to deduct and withhold as it deems to be required under applicable law. Buyer shall furnish to Sellers official receipts (or copies thereof) evidencing the payment of any such Taxes.

(k) 25% Cash. It is the intent of the parties that the aggregate net consideration received by Sellers hereunder, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2, Section 8 (excluding Section 8(c)(ii)) or Section 9, and including payment of the Estimated Purchase Price, the Final Settlement Amount, all Reserve Release Payments and any indemnification claims shall be comprised of not less than 25% cash. To the extent that at any time following the Closing, any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement would cause less than 25% of such aggregate net consideration received by Sellers to consist of cash, to the extent reasonably possible, the composition of such payment shall be adjusted as necessary to result in not less than 25% of such aggregate net consideration remaining comprised of cash following such payment. All payments pursuant to Section 8(c)(ii) shall be solely in cash but shall not be taken into consideration in the foregoing 25% test.

(m) Tax Matters.

(i) All Income Tax Returns and all other material Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of any Target or with respect to the Transferred Assets have been timely filed. All such Tax Returns as so filed disclose all Taxes required to be paid for the periods covered thereby. All material Taxes due and owing by each Target, or in respect of the Business or any Transferred Asset (in each case whether or not shown on any Tax Return), have been timely paid. Except as set forth in Section 4(m)(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, no Target currently is the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. There are no Liens for Taxes (other than Taxes not yet due and payable) upon any Business Assets or any other assets of any Target. Each Target has timely withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder, or other third party, and all Forms W-2 and 1099 required with respect thereto have been properly completed and timely filed.

(ii) Except as set forth in Section 4(m)(ii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, to Sellers’ Knowledge there is no material dispute or written claim concerning any Tax liability of any Target or in respect of the Business or any Transferred Asset claimed or raised by any Governmental Authority in writing. To Sellers’ Knowledge, since January 1, 2009, no written claim has been made by a Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction where a Target has never paid a particular type of Tax or filed a particular type of Tax Return asserting that such Target is or may be subject to such Tax or required to file such Tax Return in such jurisdiction.

To Sellers’ Knowledge and except as set forth in Section 4(m)(iii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, there is no other material written Action, audit, or assessment pending or proposed with regard to the Target’s Tax Returns. Sellers have made available to Buyer copies of all federal Income Tax Returns and any material examination reports and statements of deficiencies assessed against, or agreed to by the Targets since December 31, 2011. All such deficiencies or assessments have been paid in full or otherwise finally resolved. Unless disclosed in Section 4(m)(iii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, no waiver of any statute of limitations relating to Taxes for which a Target may be liable is in effect, and no written request for such a waiver is outstanding. No agreement to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency for which any Target may be liable is in effect. There are no Tax rulings, requests for rulings, or closing agreements relating to Taxes for which any Target may be liable that could affect any Target’s liability for Taxes for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date.

(iv) No Target is a party to any agreement, contract, arrangement, or plan that has resulted or would result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Code §280G (or any corresponding provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Tax law). No transaction contemplated by this Agreement is subject to withholding under Code §1445 (related to “FIRPTA”). The Sellers and Targets have been members of an Affiliated Group filing a consolidated federal Income Tax Return (as described in Section 4(m)(iv) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule). No Target has any liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than such Target) under Reg. §1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of Law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise. All Tax Sharing Arrangements and Tax indemnity arrangements relating to each Target (other than this Agreement) will terminate on the Closing Date and no Target will have any liability thereunder for any taxable year commencing after the Closing Date. Except as set forth in Section 4(m)(iv) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, no Target has any current direct or indirect ownership interest in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity (other than another Target).

(v) The unpaid Taxes of each Target (A) did not, as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the Most Recent Balance Sheet (rather than in any notes thereto) and (B) will not exceed that reserve as adjusted for operations and transactions through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of the Targets in filing their Tax Returns.

(vi) No Target will be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date as a result of any:

(A) change in method of accounting (or change in the basis for determining any item under Section 807(f) of the Code or analogous provision of state or local law) for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date;

(B) “closing agreement” as described in Code §7121 (or any corresponding or similar provision of income Tax Law) executed on or prior to the Closing Date;

(xiv) Subject to the exceptions set forth on Section 4(m)(xiv) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, the Tax treatment of each Insurance Contract is not, and since the time of issuance (or subsequent modification) has not been, less favorable to the purchaser, policyholder or intended beneficiaries thereof, than the Tax treatment either that was purported to apply in materials provided at the time of issuance (or any subsequent modification of such policy) or for which such policy was intended or reasonably expected to apply at the time of issuance (or subsequent modification). For purposes of this Section 4(m), the provisions of law relating to the Tax treatment of such Insurance Contracts shall include, but not be limited to, Sections 72, 101, 401 through 409A, 412, 415, 417, 457, 817, 7702, 7702A and 7702B of the Code and any Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder. With respect to the exceptions set out in Section 4(m)(xiv) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, Sellers shall remedy such exceptions with a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service or in such other manner consented to by Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(xv) None of the Insurance Contracts is a “modified endowment contract” within the meaning of Section 7702A of the Code, except for those Insurance Contracts that are being administered as “modified endowment contracts” and with respect to which the policyholder has been notified as to the treatment of such Insurance Contracts as “modified endowment contracts” and such policyholder has not objected.

(xvi) Subject to the exceptions set out in Section 4(m)(xvi) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, Sellers and each Target have materially complied with all Tax reporting, withholding, and disclosure requirements that are applicable to the Insurance Contracts and, in particular, but without limitation, have reported distributions under such Insurance Contracts in compliance in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Code, Treasury Regulations and forms issued by the Internal Revenue Service.

(xvii) All information technology owned or licensed by the Targets and Sellers or their third-party administrators, and all processes and procedures performed by the Targets and Sellers or their third-party administrators in each case that are currently used by the Targets or Sellers or their third-party administrators to maintain the Insurance Contracts’ qualification for their Tax treatment under applicable provisions of the Code, to monitor the Insurance Contracts for treatment as “modified endowment contracts” or to facilitate compliance with the reporting, withholding and disclosure requirements described in Section 4(m)(xvi), have been properly designed, implemented and performed to maintain such qualification or facilitate such monitoring or compliance. The Targets and Sellers have maintained in all material respects all Tax-related records necessary to determine the Insurance Contracts’ qualification for Tax treatment under applicable provisions of the Code, to monitor the Insurance Contracts for treatment as “modified endowment contracts” or to facilitate compliance with the reporting, withholding and disclosure requirements described in Section 4(m)(xvii) in the manner required by Revenue Procedure 98-25.

(xviii) Subject to the exceptions set out in Section 4(m)(xviii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, the Targets and Sellers have not entered into any agreement and are not involved in any discussions or negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Entity, nor have otherwise requested relief, regarding the failure of any Insurance Contract to meet the requirements of Sections 72, 101, 401 through 409A, 412, 415, 417, 457, 817, 7702, 7702A and 7702B of the Code and any Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder, as applicable to such Insurance Contracts.

(iii) From the date hereof until the Closing, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and reasonably cooperate in preparing, supplementing and finalizing any schedules to the Ancillary Agreements, including the addition of additional Services to the Service Schedules to the Transition Services Agreement, provided, that the Services, Service Charges, End Dates and other terms set forth in the Service Schedules (as such terms are defined in the Transition Services Agreement) that are included in the form of Transition Services Agreement attached hereto reflect the final agreement of the Parties as to the terms of such Services.

(d) Operation of Business. Sellers will cause each Target not to engage in any practice, take any action, or enter into any transaction outside the Ordinary Course of Business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sellers will cause each Target not to engage in any practice, take any action, or enter into any transaction of the sort described in Section 4(j) (whether or not the taking of such action is contemplated in the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, other than Section 5(d) thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) Prior to Closing, Sellers shall cause the Targets to sell the securities listed in Section 5(d)(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule to a purchaser (which may be a Seller or an Affiliate of Sellers) at the fair market value of such securities (as mutually agreed upon in writing by Buyer and Sellers) on the date of sale. The sale of such securities shall be reflected in the Targets’ Capital and Surplus consistent with the Agreed Accounting Principles; and

(ii) Prior to Closing, Sellers shall cause the Targets to transfer all company-owned life insurance policies listed on Section 5(d)(ii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule to a Seller or an Affiliate of Sellers for no consideration. The transfer of such policies shall be reflected in the Targets’ Capital and Surplus consistent with Agreed Accounting Principles.

(e) Preservation of Business. Sellers will cause each Target to (i) conduct the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business, (ii) keep available the services of officers and key employees, consultants and agents of the Business and (iii) keep their businesses and properties substantially intact, including their present operations, physical facilities, working conditions, insurance policies, and relationships (contractual or otherwise) and goodwill with lessors, licensors, suppliers, customers, employees, consultants, agents, service providers and regulators. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sellers will cause each Target to pursue any premium rate increase filings currently pending before any Insurance Regulator, and to make new premium rate increase filings with Insurance Regulators, in the Ordinary Course of Business; provided that the Targets shall not agree to any Premium Increase Related Commitment without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(f) Full Access. Each Seller will permit, and Sellers will cause each Target to permit, Buyer and its representatives (including legal counsel and accountants) to have full access at all reasonable times, and in a manner so as not to interfere with the normal business operations of the Targets or the Business, to all premises, properties, personnel, books, records (including tax records), contracts, and documents of or pertaining to each Target or the Business. Buyer will treat and hold any Confidential Information it receives from any of Sellers or the Targets in the course of the reviews contemplated by this Section 5(f) in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. Sellers shall provide Buyer with reasonable access to Business Employee information. Sellers agree to supply any assistance and information (including initial employment dates, termination dates, reemployment dates, hours of service for purposes of the Family and Medical Leave Act, regular work schedule, compensation and Tax withholding history in a form that shall be usable by Buyer) as may be reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the foregoing.

(g) Notice of Developments.

(i) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Sellers shall promptly notify Buyer in writing if any of them becomes aware of (A) any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a breach of any of the representations and warranties in Section 3(a) or Section 4 hereof made as of the date of this Agreement or (B) the occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any fact or condition that would or would be reasonably likely to (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach of any such representation or warranty had that representation or warranty been made as of the time of the occurrence of, or any Seller’s discovery of, such fact or condition. Should any such fact or condition require any change to the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, Sellers shall promptly deliver to Buyer a supplement or revision to the Sellers Disclosure Schedule specifying such change; provided that such delivery shall not affect any rights of Buyer under Sections 7, 8 or 9 hereof. During the same period, Sellers also shall promptly notify Buyer of the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 7 impossible or unlikely.

(ii) Subject to Section 3(b)(vii), between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Buyer shall notify Sellers in writing if it becomes aware of the occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any fact or condition to which Buyer reasonably believes Sellers do not otherwise have Knowledge that would cause or constitute a breach of any of the representations and warranties in Section 3(a) or Section 4 hereof had that representation or warranty been made as of the time of the occurrence of, or Buyer’s discovery of, such fact or condition.

(iii) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Sellers shall promptly deliver to Buyer copies of all Statutory Statements filed with or submitted to the applicable Insurance Regulators and any other Governmental Authority by or on behalf of the Targets.

(h) Exclusivity. No Seller will (and Sellers will cause each Target not to) (i) solicit, initiate, or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to the acquisition of all or any portion of the Business, including the Transferred Assets or any capital stock or other voting securities, or any substantial portion of the assets, of any Target (whether structured as a merger, consolidation, share exchange, reinsurance transaction or otherwise) (an “Acquisition Proposal”) or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish any information with respect to, assist or participate in, or facilitate in any other manner any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek any Acquisition Proposal. In the event that Sellers or any of their Affiliates (including the Targets) receive an Acquisition Proposal, Sellers shall promptly, but in no event later than forty-eight hours thereafter, notify Buyer in writing of such proposal and provide a copy thereof (if in written or electronic form) or, if in oral form, a written summary of the terms and conditions thereof, including the names of the interested parties.

(i) Maintenance of Leased Real Property. Sellers will cause each Target to maintain the Leased Real Property, including all of the Improvements in substantially the same condition as existed on the date of this Agreement, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and shall not demolish or remove any of the existing Improvements, or erect new improvements on the Leased Real Property or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(j) Leases. Sellers will not cause or permit any Lease to be amended, modified, extended, renewed or terminated without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), nor shall Sellers permit any Target to enter into any new lease, sublease, license or other agreement for the use or occupancy of any Real Property without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(k) Tax Matters. Without the prior written consent of Buyer, no Target shall request any ruling or similar guidance with respect to Taxes, make or change any election, change an annual accounting period, adopt or change any accounting method, file any amended Tax Return, enter into any closing agreement, settle any Tax claim or assessment relating to any Target, surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment relating to any Target, or take any other similar action relating to the filing of any Tax Return or the payment of any Tax, if such election, adoption, change, amendment, agreement, settlement, surrender, consent or other action would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability of any Target for any period ending after the Closing Date or decreasing any Tax attribute of any Target existing on the Closing Date.

(l) Confidentiality. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Mutual Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement dated February 7, 2015 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), by and between Buyer and GAFRI, remains in full force and effect and, in addition, covenants and agrees to keep confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, information provided to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of this Section 5(l) shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect.

(m) Books and Records. Sellers shall, and shall cause each Target and, solely with respect to the Business, each of Sellers’ other Affiliates to, preserve and maintain the Books and Records in all material respects in the same manner and with the same care that the Books and Records have been maintained prior to the execution of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, the Parties shall develop and implement a plan that will result in the delivery or transfer, subject to compliance with applicable Law, of the Books and Records to Buyer (or a Person designated by Buyer) at the Closing in the manner (and in the case of physical Books and Records, at the location(s)) reasonably requested by Buyer to the extent not located at an office of the Targets.

(n) Pre-Closing Confidentiality Agreements. Sellers shall request that all third parties who executed a Pre-Closing Confidentiality Agreement return to Sellers or the Targets or destroy all Confidential Information heretofore furnished to such third parties by or on behalf of Sellers or any of their Affiliates (including the Targets) as promptly as practicable following the date hereof, subject to the terms of such agreements. Effective as of the Closing Date, Sellers (on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates) hereby assign to Buyer all of their rights under each Pre-Closing Confidentiality Agreement. At the Closing, Sellers will deliver to Buyer a copy of each Pre-Closing Confidentiality Agreement.

(o) Intercompany Obligations; Intercompany Agreements; Multiparty Contracts; Shared Contracts.

(i) Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, take such actions and make such payments as may be necessary (including executing one or more releases in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer) so that, immediately prior to the Closing, the Targets, on the one hand, and Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Targets), on the other hand, shall make reasonable effort to settle, discharge, offset, pay, repay in full, terminate or extinguish all Intercompany Obligations, regardless of their maturity, for the amount due, including any accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of payment, fees and other amounts due or outstanding thereunder; provided, however, that if any such item is not paid in full in cash, the method of discharge must be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. If any Intercompany Obligations (other than Intercomapny Obligations arising under Surviving Intercompany Agreements) are not settled prior to the Closing (such obligations, the “Unsettled Intercompany Obligations”), the Targets and Sellers will settle such Unsettled Intercompany Obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after Closing. The net amount of any Unsettled Intercompany Obligations shall be specifically identified in the Estimated Settlement Statement and the Final Settlement Statement. If such net amount is an amount payable by the Targets to Sellers and their Affiliates, such amount shall be taken into account in the computation of the Estimated Capital and Surplus and the Final Capital and Surplus. If such net amount is an amount payable by Sellers and their Affiliates to Targets, then for purposes of computing the Estimated Capital and Surplus and the Final Capital and Surplus such amount shall be deemed to be zero. Following such time as the Final Capital and Surplus is finally determined pursuant to Section 2(e), Targets shall have no liability to Sellers or any of their Affiliates for any Unsettled Intercompany Obligations that were not taken into account in the determination of Final Capital and Surplus, and as of such time Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, fully and finally release any such obligations.

(ii) On or prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, take such actions as may be necessary (including executing one or more instruments evidencing such termination and one or more releases, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer) to terminate and irrevocably release and discharge the Targets from any and all liabilities and obligations arising in connection with all Intercompany Agreements other than (A) the Intercompany Agreements listed in Section 5(o)(ii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule and (B) the CMA (together, the “Surviving Intercompany Agreements”), after giving effect to Section 5(o)(i).

(iii) With respect to each Multiparty Contract, Sellers shall, and shall cause each of their applicable Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to revise, amend or modify such Multiparty Contract so that, effective as of the Closing, (A) such Multiparty Contract is terminated with respect to each Target party thereto and such Target is irrevocably released and discharged from any and all liabilities and obligations arising in connection therewith; and (B) each such Target becomes party to a replacement Contract between such Target and the applicable third parties (but not any of Sellers or their Affiliates) under which, from and after the Closing, such Target is entitled to receive substantially the same benefits as such Target received prior to the Closing under such Multiparty Contract upon substantially similar terms, provided that any documentation relating to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) above shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. From and after the Closing, Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Targets, Buyer and their Affiliates from and against any Adverse Consequences resulting from, arising out of or relating to Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ actions or omissions (whether taken prior to, at or after the Closing) in connection with any Multiparty Contract.

(iv) Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, cooperate with Buyer to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer to cause the counterparty to any Shared Contract that is not an Assigned Contract to enter into a new agreement with Buyer or one or both of the Targets (as designated by Buyer) as of the Closing with respect to the services provided under such Shared Contract that are related to the Business.

(p) Ancillary Agreements. Immediately prior to the Closing, each Party shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, execute and deliver each of the Ancillary Agreements to which it will be a party.

(q) Investment Assets. Sellers shall, within twenty (20) Business Days following the end of each calendar month, deliver to Buyer a list of (a) all Investment Assets owned by any of the Targets as of such month end, and if available, the market value thereof as of such month end, (b) all Investment Assets sold or otherwise disposed of by the Targets during the preceding month, (c) a list of the Investment Assets acquired by the Targets during the preceding month and (d) all Investment Assets that are in arrears or breach or default in the payment of principal or interest or dividends or are, or should be, classified as non-performing, non-accrual, ninety (90) days past due, still accruing and doubtful of collection, in foreclosure or any comparable classification, or are permanently impaired to any extent.

(r) Bank Accounts. Prior to the Closing, Sellers and their Affiliates shall change, effective as of the Closing, the individuals authorized to draw on or having access to the bank, savings, deposit or custodial accounts and safe deposit boxes maintained by the Targets to the individuals designated in writing by Buyer.

(s) License Agreements. As promptly as practicable following the date hereof, Sellers shall, at Sellers’ sole cost and expense, take all necessary actions to cause (i) PDMA to grant to the Targets a license permitting each Target to use the software products owned or licensed to PDMA and known as LifePRO, including any modifications, enhancements and updates thereto (the “LifePRO Software”), on terms and conditions set forth in the LifePro License Agreement, (ii) HSI to grant to the Targets a license permitting each Target to use the Software and Work Products (as such terms are defined in the Master OnBase Agreement), including any modifications, enhancements and updates thereto (the “OnBase Software”), on terms and conditions substantially similar to the Master OnBase Agreement, and (iii) SunGard to grant to the Targets a license permitting each Target to use the Software and Documentation (as such terms are defined in the EAS Software License Agreement), including any modifications, enhancements and updates thereto (the “SunGard Software”), on terms and conditions substantially similar to the EAS Software License Agreement.

Section 6. Post-Closing Covenants. The Parties agree as follows with respect to the period following the Closing:

(a) General. In case at any time after the Closing any further actions are necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including transferring to Buyer or its designee any Transferred Asset that was not transferred to the Targets prior to the Closing, each of the Parties will, without further consideration, take such further actions (including the execution and delivery of such further conveyances, notices, instruments and documents) as any other Party may reasonably request. Sellers acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing Buyer will be entitled to possession of all Books and Records.

(b) Access to Information.

(i) Subject to applicable privileges (including the attorney-client privilege), Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall promptly afford the other Parties and their respective Representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable prior written notice and during normal business hours, to their respective books and records and financial data relating to the Targets or the Business with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date and, in the case of Buyer and its representatives, to Sellers’ and their Affiliates’ employees and auditors (including making such employees available as witnesses in hearings or trials), in each case, to the extent necessary or useful for the Party requesting such access in connection with (i) any audit, investigation, dispute or litigation and (ii) the preparation of financial statements, filings and other submissions with Governmental Authorities and Tax Returns; provided, that the Party requesting such access agrees to reimburse the other Parties promptly for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such request (unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Section 8 below); provided, further, that the auditors and accountants of Sellers, Buyer or their respective Affiliates shall not be obligated to make any work papers available to any Person unless and until such Person has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such auditors or accountants.

(ii) Without regard to the limitations contained in Section 6(b)(i), but subject to Section 6(e), in the event that, prior to the expiration of the CMA, Buyer ceases to be subject to the periodic and current reporting requirements of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, Buyer shall make available to GAFRI, and GAFRI shall have the right to inspect and audit (at GAFRI’s expense), through its Representatives, upon reasonable prior written notice and during normal business hours, the books and records and financial data of Buyer to the extent reasonably related to Buyer’s ability to perform its indemnification obligations under Section 8(c)(ii). GAFRI’s right to inspect and audit pursuant to this Section 6(b)(ii) shall not be terminated, abrogated or otherwise unenforceable due to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement by the Sellers; provided that this Section 6(b)(ii) shall not relieve the Sellers of liability for such breach.

(c) Transition. The Parties shall, or shall cause their applicable Affiliates to, perform their respective obligations under the Transition Services Agreement.

(d) Intellectual Property License. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions hereof, and effective as of the Closing, Sellers, on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates, hereby grant to Buyer and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicenseable, paid-up and royalty-free right and license to use the Seller Licensed IP Rights. Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to, use reasonable care, but by no means less than the same degree of care that Buyer employs for the protection of its own trade secrets and confidential information of a similar nature, to maintain and protect the trade secrets and confidential information included in Seller Licensed IP Rights.

(e) Confidentiality. Sellers will (and will cause their Affiliates to) treat and hold as such all of the Confidential Information, and refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement. In the event that Sellers or any of their Affiliates are requested or required pursuant to oral or written question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process to disclose any Confidential Information, such Person will notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6(c). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Sellers or their Affiliates are, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, such Person may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that Sellers shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) use reasonable best efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request of Buyer, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Buyer shall designate.

(f) Removal of “Great American” Identifiers. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Targets to cease using the Great American Names and Marks as an identifier in the conduct of the Business as conducted by Buyer; provided, that in the event Buyer or any Target is required to obtain the approval of any Governmental Authority prior to taking the actions contemplated in this Section 6(f), Buyer and/or such Target shall use its reasonable best efforts to seek all such approvals as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, including causing any required filings or notices with any Governmental Authorities to be made within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, and shall take all actions contemplated in this Section 6(f) as soon as reasonably practicable after obtaining such approvals, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date such approvals are received.

(g) Business Employees.

(i) Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall offer employment to all Business Employees, other than the Excluded Business Employees, effective upon the expiration of such Business Employee’s Employee Leasing Period (the “Employment Commencement Date”) on terms described in Section 6(g)(iii) below, and on the condition that such Business Employees (A) accept the employment offer in a timely fashion, and (B) meet Buyer’s reasonable employment requirements with respect to satisfactory results of background checks, drug tests, immigration verification and similar requirements (the “Buyer Employment Requirements”). A Business Employee who chooses to accept such offer of employment must respond in writing to Buyer’s offer within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of the offer. Buyer shall be under no obligation to employ any Business Employee who fails to accept Buyer’s offer of employment in a timely fashion or who fails to meet the Buyer Employment Requirements. Sellers shall use their best efforts to assist Buyer in its efforts to make offers of employment and to hire the employees receiving such offers under this Section 6(g)(i) and Sellers will not take, and will cause each of their Affiliates not to take, any action which would impede, hinder, interfere or otherwise compete with such efforts. Buyer shall determine whether to offer employment to any independent contractor who is a Business Employee and the terms of such offer.

(ii) Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall employ any Business Employee (other than an independent contractor) who (A) accepts the offer of employment in a timely fashion, and (B) meets the Buyer Employment Requirements (hereinafter a “Transferred Employee”). Transferred Employees shall become employees of Buyer or one of its Affiliates upon the Employment Commencement Date. A Business Employee who meets conditions (A) and (B) above but is on an approved leave of absence for any reason or on short-term or long-term disability on the Employment Commencement Date shall become an employee of Buyer or one of its Affiliates (and a Transferred Employee) only upon his or her return from such leave of absence or following such short-term or long-term disability and only if such Business Employee applies for employment with Buyer within ninety (90) days after the Employment Commencement Date. Complete copies of the personnel files of Transferred Employees shall be transferred to Buyer on or prior to thirty (30) days after the later of the Closing Date or the Transferred Employee’s date of hire, including all performance reviews..

(iii) For the period beginning on the Employment Commencement Date and ending on the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Closing, Buyer shall ensure that (A) the base salary and annual incentive bonus opportunity for a Transferred Employee is, in the aggregate, at least substantially comparable to the Transferred Employee’s base salary and annual incentive bonus opportunity as of the date of this Agreement and (B) the employee benefits (including severance benefits, but excluding any equity-based compensation) enjoyed by Transferred Employees are, in the aggregate, at least substantially comparable to those enjoyed by such Transferred Employees as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that a change in benefits by Sellers during the Employee Leasing Period shall not constitute a breach by Buyer of this Section 6(g). Buyer shall give each Business Employee credit for purposes of participation and vesting, but not benefit accrual, under and in accordance with the terms of Buyer’s employee benefit plans for years served with any Target or their Affiliates prior to the Closing Date; provided that no such service credit shall be recognized for purposes of pension and retiree health benefits or in a manner that would result in a duplication of benefits. Within thirty (30) days after the Employment Commencement Date, Sellers shall provide to Buyer accurate information about each Transferred Employee’s service with the Targets and their Affiliates.

(iv) The Excluded Business Employees, any Business Employees who do not become Transferred Employees and all current and former employees, independent contractors and directors of the Targets, Sellers or their Affiliates, other than the Business Employees, and any liabilities associated with such Persons, shall remain the sole responsibility of Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Sellers nor their Affiliates shall pay any severance benefits or make any similar payments to any Business Employee who does not accept an offer from Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer pursuant to Section 6(g)(i).

(v) As of the Closing, the Targets shall terminate their participation in each Affiliate Benefit Plan, and in no event shall any Transferred Employee be entitled to accrue any benefits under any such Affiliate Benefit Plan with respect to services rendered or compensation paid on or after the Transferred Employee’s Employment Commencement Date. Sellers and their Affiliates shall retain all rights, obligations and liabilities under each Affiliate Benefit Plan, and neither Buyer nor the Targets shall assume any of such rights, obligations or liabilities. Except as expressly provided in the Employee Lease Agreement, Sellers and their Affiliates shall retain or assume all obligations and liabilities with respect to employees whose employment with Sellers, Targets or any of their Affiliates has terminated at or prior to the final Employment Commencement Date, including without limitation any severance or retiree health benefits. As soon as practicable after the date on which a Transferred Employee terminates employment with a Seller or an Affiliate of Seller, such Seller or Affiliate shall pay to such Transferred Employee any unused vacation or paid time off in accordance with Sellers’ vacation or paid time off policy and applicable Law.

(vi) Except as expressly provided in the Employee Lease Agreement, Sellers and their Affiliates shall retain all liabilities and obligations for, and the responsibility for payment of, all covered medical, dental, life insurance, salary continuation, severance, disability and other welfare claims or expenses arising with respect to each Transferred Employee from events occurring at or prior to such Transferred Employee’s Employment Commencement Date, and neither Buyer nor any of the Targets shall assume or be responsible for any liability or obligation with respect to such claims or expenses. For purposes of this Section, a claim is deemed incurred when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed; in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs; in the case of long-term disability benefits, when the disability begins; in the case of a hospital stay, when the employee or covered dependent first enters the hospital, and in the case of severance, when the employee is notified of his or her termination of employment.

(vii) Sellers and their Affiliates shall be responsible for providing the continuation of group health coverage required by COBRA to any current or former employees of the Targets whose “qualifying event,” within the meaning of Code §4980B(f), occurred at or prior to the Employment Commencement Date (and such former employees’ “qualified beneficiaries,” within the meaning of Code §4980B(f)), subject to Buyer’s reimbursement obligations under the Employee Lease Agreement.

(viii) Except as expressly provided in the Employee Lease Agreement, Sellers and their Affiliates shall retain the obligation and liability for any workers’ compensation or similar workers’ protection claims of any current or former employee of the Targets or their Affiliates incurred prior to the Employment Commencement Date.

(ix) Nothing herein is intended to limit the right of Buyer or the Targets (A) to terminate the employment or service of any employee or independent contractor at any time, (B) to change or modify any incentive compensation or employee benefit plan or arrangement at any time and in any manner, or (C) to change or modify the terms or conditions of employment or service for any of their employees or independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed (I) to confer on any Person (including but not limited to Business Employees and current and former employees and independent contractors of Sellers, the Targets or their Affiliates), other than the Parties, their successors and permitted assigns, any benefit under or right to enforce the provisions of this Section 6(g), (II) to cause any Person (including Business Employees and current and former employees and independent contractors of Sellers, Targets or their Affiliates) to be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, or (III) as an amendment or waiver of any Employee Benefit Plan.

(x) Neither Sellers nor any of their Affiliates shall make any written or oral communications, other than in the ordinary course of Seller’s business, to any Business Employees pertaining to compensation or benefit matters relating to the period of time after the Employment Commencement Date without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(h) Discontinuation of Use of Transferred Assets. From and after the Closing, Sellers and their Affiliates shall retain no rights in the Transferred Assets and shall not use or retain any copies of any Transferred Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Closing Sellers and their Affiliates shall not use or retain any copies of, any Owned Business Intellectual Property (including any Transferred Assets included therein), and Sellers and their Affiliates retain no rights in the Owned Business Intellectual Property (including any Transferred Assets included therein).

(i) Non-Solicitation. For a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date (i) Sellers shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire any Business Employee and (ii) Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire any Person listed on Section 6(h) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule;provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6(i) shall prohibit Buyer, Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates from engaging in general advertising not directed at any such employees or former employees.

(j) Non-Competition.

(i) Except as contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period”), Sellers agree not to, and shall cause each of their Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, engage, as a principal or jointly with others or otherwise, in the business of writing, issuing, selling, administrating, marketing or reinsuring any long-term care insurance business within the United States (a “Competing Business”). Sellers shall cause any and all obligations under this Section 6(j)(i) with respect to any Affiliate that ceases to be an Affiliate of Sellers during the Non-Compete Period to continue in full force and effect with respect to such Affiliate for the then remaining balance of the Non-Compete Period.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6(j)(i), and without implication that the following activities otherwise would be subject to the provisions of this Section 6(j), nothing in this Agreement shall preclude, prohibit or restrict Sellers from engaging, or require Sellers to cause any of their Affiliates not to engage, in any manner in any of the following:

(A) making investments in the Ordinary Course of Business in Persons engaging in a Competing Business, provided that each such investment is a passive investment where Sellers and their Affiliates: (I) do not have the right to designate a majority of the members of the board of directors or other governing body of such entity or to otherwise influence or direct the operation or management of any such entity, (II) are not participants with any other Person in any group (as such term is used in Regulation 13D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) with such intention or right, and (III) own less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding voting securities (including convertible securities) of such entity; or

(B) acquiring, merging or combining with any business that would otherwise violate this Section 6(j) that is acquired from any Person after the Closing Date (an “After-Acquired Business”); provided, that, either (I) at the time of such acquisition, merger or combination, the revenues derived from the Competing Business by the After-Acquired Business (the “Competing After-Acquired Revenues”) constitute no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the gross revenues of the After-Acquired Business in the most recently completed fiscal year immediately prior to the date of such acquisition, merger or combination (the “Aggregate After-Acquired Revenues”), or (II) if at the time of such acquisition, merger or combination, the Competing After-Acquired Revenues constitute more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Aggregate After-Acquired Revenues then, within six (6) months after such acquisition, merger or combination, (x) Sellers and/or their Affiliates sign a definitive agreement to dispose, and subsequently dispose of, the relevant portion of the business or securities of such After-Acquired Business, or (y) Sellers and/or their Affiliates otherwise modify the After-Acquired Business such that the Competing After-Acquired Revenues constitute not more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Aggregate After-Acquired Revenues; in each case, only if none of the trademarks, service marks, trade names or other designations of Sellers are used in connection with such After-Acquired Business.

(iii) The Parties acknowledge that the type and periods of restriction imposed in the provisions of this Section 6(j) are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the Parties. If any of the restrictions or covenants in this Section 6(j) are hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions. If any of the restrictions or covenants contained in this Section 6(j), or any portion thereof, are deemed to be unenforceable because such covenant or restriction is held to cover a geographic area or to be of such duration as is not permitted under applicable Law, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or areas of such provision and, in its reduced form, said provision shall then be enforceable. The Parties intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 6(j) upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such covenants as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each such jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

(k) Additional Obligations Regarding Transferred Assets and Shared Contracts.

(i) If, on the Closing Date, any consent required to effect the Transfer of the Transferred Assets (including any assignment of the Assigned Contracts) from Sellers to the Targets pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) is not obtained, or if an attempted Transfer thereof would be ineffective or a violation of applicable Law or would in the reasonable judgment of Buyer adversely affect the rights of the Targets thereto or thereunder so that the Targets would not in fact receive all such rights, then such Transferred Assets shall not be Transferred, and Sellers shall effectuate, at Sellers’ sole expense, an arrangement that is satisfactory to Buyer under which (A) the Targets would obtain the benefits associated with such Transferred Assets in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the Targets or under which Sellers or its applicable Affiliates would enforce for the benefit of the Targets any and all of their rights against a third party associated with such Transferred Assets, and (B) Sellers would, or would cause their applicable Affiliates to, promptly pay to the Targets when received all monies received by them under any such Transferred Assets following the Closing; provided that the Parties shall continue to use their reasonable best efforts, and shall cooperate fully with each other, to obtain promptly such consents or waivers. In the event that a consent or waiver for the Transfer of any such Transferred Asset not Transferred at the Closing is obtained, Sellers shall Transfer, or cause their applicable Affiliates to Transfer, such Transferred Asset to the Targets at no additional cost. Sellers shall promptly reimburse Buyer and any of its Affiliates (including the Targets) for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Targets) in connection with the activities contemplated by this Section 6(k)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 6(k)(i) shall relieve or otherwise affect the rights and obligations of the Parties under Section 8.

(ii) If, as of the Closing, the counterparty to any Shared Contract has not entered into a new agreement with Buyer or the Targets pursuant to which Buyer or the Targets will receive the services provided under such Shared Contract that are related to the Business following the Closing, Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, continue to cooperate with Purchaser to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser to cause the counterparty to any Shared Contract that is not an Assigned Contract to enter into such new agreement.

(l) Insurance Matters.

(i) With respect to occurrences taking place from and after the Closing Date, the Targets will cease to be insured by Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ blanket insurance policies or by any of their self-insured programs in place to the extent such insurance policies or programs cover any of the Targets.

(ii) With respect to events or circumstances relating to the Targets that occurred or existed prior to the Closing Date that are covered by occurrence-based third party liability insurance policies of Sellers or their Affiliates (other than the Targets) and any workers’ compensation insurance policies or comparable workers’ compensation self-insurance programs sponsored by Sellers or their Affiliates and that apply to the locations at which the Targets operate the Business, Buyer may, and may cause the Targets to, make claims under such policies and programs. Sellers will, and will cause their Affiliates to, provide reasonable cooperation and assistance in the pursuit of such claims.

(iii) With respect to any open claims against the insurance policies of Sellers or their Affiliates (other than the Targets) relating to losses or damages suffered by the Targets prior to the Closing, Sellers shall (i) use reasonable best efforts to pursue such claims and shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Buyer and its Affiliates in doing the same and (ii) remit to the applicable Target any and all proceeds realized from such claims upon settlement of such claims.

(m) Misdirected Payments.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in the Administrative Services Agreement, if any Seller or any of their Affiliates receives any amount in respect of any of the Insurance Contracts (other than the Cigna Reinsured Business) or other amounts owing to the Targets, such Seller shall, or the Sellers shall cause their applicable Affiliate to, remit such amount to Buyer or the applicable Target within 30 days of receiving such amount.

(ii) If Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Targets) receives any amount owing to Sellers or their Affiliates (but not either of the Targets), Buyer shall, or shall cause such Affiliate to, remit such amount to a Seller or such applicable Affiliates within 30 days of receiving such amount.

(n) Release.

(i) Effective as of the Closing, each of Sellers, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates (other than the Targets) and each of its and their successors, assigns, heirs and executors (each, a “Seller Releasor”), hereby irrevocably, knowingly and voluntarily releases, discharges and forever waives and relinquishes all claims, demands, liabilities, defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, actions and causes of action of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which any Seller Releasor has, may have or might have or may assert now or in the future, against any of the Targets and any of their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, officers, directors, partners, managers and employees (in each case in their capacity as such) (each, a “Target Releasee”), arising out of, based upon or resulting from any Contract, transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown, and which occurred, existed, was taken or expressly permitted prior to the Closing; provided, however, without limiting Section 5(o)(i), that nothing contained in this Section 6(m)(i) shall release, discharge, waive or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any party to the extent arising under any Surviving Intercompany Agreement or this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Sellers shall, and shall cause each Seller Releasor to, refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand or commencing, instituting or maintaining, or causing to be commenced, any legal or arbitral proceeding of any kind against any Target Releasee based upon any matter released pursuant to this Section 6(m)(i). The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the execution of this Agreement shall not constitute an acknowledgment of or an admission by any Seller Releasor or Target Releasee of the existence of any such claims or of liability for any matter or precedent upon which any liability may be asserted.

(ii) Effective as of the Closing, Buyer on behalf of the Targets and each of their successors, assigns, heirs and executors (each, a “Buyer Releasor”), hereby irrevocably, knowingly and voluntarily releases, discharges and forever waives and relinquishes all claims, demands, liabilities, defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, actions and causes of action of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which any of the Targets may have had prior to the Closing against any of Sellers or their Affiliates (other than the Targets) and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, officers, directors, partners, managers and employees (in each case in their capacity as such) (each, a “Seller Releasee”), arising out of, based upon or resulting from any Contract, transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown, and which occurred, existed, was taken or expressly permitted prior to the Closing; provided, however, without limiting Section 5(o)(i), that nothing contained in this Section 6(m)(ii) shall release, discharge, waive or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any party to the extent arising under the Surviving Intercompany Agreements or this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Buyer shall, and shall cause each Buyer Releasor to, refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand or commencing, instituting or maintaining, or causing to be commenced, any legal or arbitral proceeding of any kind against any Seller Releasee based upon any matter released pursuant to this Section 6(m)(ii). The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute an acknowledgment of or an admission by any Buyer Releasor or Seller Releasee of the existence of any such claims or of liability for any matter or precedent upon which any liability may be asserted.

(iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, effective as of the Closing, Sellers hereby irrevocably and forever waive and release any right to indemnification, contribution, reimbursement, set-off or other rights to recovery that Sellers might otherwise have against any of the Targets with respect to representations and warranties made and, the covenants, obligations and agreements to be performed at or prior to the Closing, by the Targets in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the certificate delivered at the Closing pursuant to Section 7(a)(v).

(o) Data Security. With respect to any PII of Sellers transferred to Buyer or Targets or otherwise in Buyer’s or a Target’s possession, and with respect to any PII of the Targets or Buyer transferred to Sellers or otherwise in a Seller’s possession, the party possessing such information shall maintain the confidentiality of such information in compliance with its own privacy policy and terms of service and with applicable Law. If such party becomes aware of a breach of security which compromises any such PII in its possession if Buyer or a Target becomes aware of a breach of security which compromises the PII in its possession during the term of this Agreement, such party shall notify Buyer or Sellers (as applicable) in writing promptly of such breach or potential breach and assist such party in maintaining the confidentiality of such PII. As used herein, “PII” means: with respect to any policyholder, agent, or employee of Sellers, Targets, or Buyer, information relating to an individual that can be used to identify an individual either alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual collected by or on behalf of Sellers, Buyer or Targets that Sellers, Buyer or Targets are required to keep confidential under applicable Law.

(b) Indemnification Provisions for Buyer’s Benefit.

(i) In the event of any inaccuracy in, breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty or covenant of Sellers contained in this Agreement or in any certificate furnished by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement (determined, for purposes of this Section 8(b)(i), without regard to any limitations or qualifications as to “Material Adverse Effect”, “material” or other similar limitations or qualifications contained in any such representation or warranty), and provided that Buyer makes a written claim for indemnification against Sellers within the applicable survival period, then the Sellers shall be obligated jointly and severally to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, each of its Affiliates (including the Targets) and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Buyer Indemnitees may suffer (including any Adverse Consequences the Buyer Indemnitees may suffer after the end of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by such inaccuracy, breach or failure; provided, however, that Sellers shall not have any obligation to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any Adverse Consequences resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers (other than any representation or warranty in Sections 3(a)(i), 3(a)(ii), 3(a)(iv), 3(a)(v), 4(a)(i), 4(b), 4(d), 4(g)(iii) and 4(m), and any representation or warranty in Sections 4(c), 4(q) and 4(w) to the extent relating to any Reinsurance Agreements that are not listed in Section 4(c)(i), 4(q), 4(w)(i)(A), 4(w)(i)(B), 4(w)(i)(C), 4(w)(ii) or 4(w)(iii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, in each case, as to which this proviso shall not apply) until the Buyer Indemnitees have suffered Adverse Consequences by reason of all such inaccuracies and breaches in excess of an aggregate deductible amount equal to $225,000 (after which point Sellers will be obligated only to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against Adverse Consequences in excess of such amount) provided, that, for the purposes of determining whether the deductible amount has been met or exceeded, claims for Adverse Consequences arising from a single event or a group or series of related events that are, individually or in the aggregate, less than $50,000 shall be excluded; and provided, further, that there will be an aggregate ceiling in an amount equal to $7,000,000 on the obligation of Sellers to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against Adverse Consequences resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers (other than any representation or warranty in Sections 3(a)(i), 3(a)(ii), 3(a)(iv), 3(a)(v), 4(a)(i), 4(b), 4(d), 4(f), 4(g)(iii) and 4(m), as to which such aggregate ceiling shall not apply). For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer’s failure to make a written claim for indemnification with respect to any such inaccuracy, breach or failure within the applicable survival period shall result in Sellers having no liability under this Section 8(b)(i) for any such inaccuracy, breach or failure. The parties expressly intend this Section 8(a) to modify any otherwise applicable statute of limitations under Delaware Law.

(ii) Each Seller shall be jointly and severally obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against all Excluded Liabilities.

(i) In the event of any inaccuracy in, breach of or failure to perform any representations, warranties, or covenants of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate furnished by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (determined, for purposes of this Section 8(c)(i), without regard to any limitations or qualifications as to “Material Adverse Effect”, “material” or other similar limitations or qualifications contained in any such representation or warranty), and provided that any Seller makes a written claim for indemnification against Buyer within the applicable survival period (if there is an applicable survival period pursuant to Section 8(a) above), then Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences suffered (including any Adverse Consequences suffered after the end of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by such inaccuracy, breach or failure; provided, however, that Buyer shall not have any obligation to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against any Adverse Consequences resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer (other than any representation or warranty in Sections 3(b)(i), 3(b)(ii) and 3(b)(iv), as to which this proviso shall not apply) until the Seller Indemnitees have suffered Adverse Consequences by reason of all such inaccuracies and breaches in excess of an aggregate deductible amount equal to $225,000 (after which point Buyer will be obligated only to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against Adverse Consequences in excess of such amount) provided, that, for the purposes of determining whether the deductible amount has been met or exceeded, claims for Adverse Consequences arising from a single event or a group or series of related events that are, individually or in the aggregate, less than $50,000 shall be excluded; and provided, further, that there will be an aggregate ceiling in an amount equal to $7,000,000 on the obligation of Buyer to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against Adverse Consequences resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer (other than any representation or warranty in Sections 3(b)(i), 3(b)(ii) and 3(b)(iv), as to which such aggregate ceiling shall not apply).

(ii) In the event that any amounts are actually paid after the Closing by GAFRI to UTAIC or CGIC pursuant to (A) the Capital Maintenance Agreement, effective as of January 1, 2016, between GAFRI and UTAIC or (B) the Capital Maintenance Agreement, effective as of January 1, 2016, between GAFRI and CGIC ((A) and (B) collectively, the “CMA”), then Buyer shall indemnify GAFRI for the amount of such payments. For each such payment made by GAFRI, Buyer’s corresponding indemnification payment to GAFRI hereunder shall be made by Wire Transfer on the same calendar day; provided, for any such payment made by GAFRI on a date other than the due date under the CMA, or for any such payment made after 12:00 p.m. Local Standard Time, the corresponding indemnification payment by Buyer shall be payable on the following Business Day. Buyer shall not be entitled to offset any of its indemnification obligations under this Section 8(c)(ii) against any obligation, loss, damage, claim, expense or other amount owed by GAFRI or any of its Affiliates to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, whether arising under this Agreement or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, GAFRI’s right to indemnity under this Section 8(c)(ii) is not subject to any of the limitations contained in Section 8(a) and Section 8(c)(i). In the event of any default by Buyer in the payment of any indemnification amount under this Section 8(c)(ii), interest shall accrue thereon at a rate of 15% per annum from the date of default.

(d) Matters Involving Third Parties.

(i) If any third party notifies any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Section 8, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is thereby actually and materially prejudiced.

(ii) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party by providing written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently thereafter in order to preserve its rights to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that if the representation of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel creates a conflict of interest under applicable standards of professional conduct of attorneys or prejudices the defenses available to the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such Third Party Claim prior to the time that it receives notice from the Indemnifying Party that it will assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel, incurred in connection with such defense promptly upon written request therefor.

(iii) So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed and is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 8(d)(ii) above, (A) 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 (not to be unreasonably withheld) unless the judgment or proposed settlement (I) involves only the payment of money damages by one or more of the Indemnifying Parties, (II) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party, (III) includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim and (IV) does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and (B) the Indemnified 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 Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld).

(iv) In the event none of the Indemnifying Parties assumes and conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 8(d)(ii) above, however, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to, such Third-Party Claim in any manner he, she, or it reasonably deems appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (B) the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 8.

(v) If there shall be any conflicts between the provisions of this Section 8(d) and Section 9(f) (relating to Tax contests), the provisions of Section 9(f) shall control with respect to Tax contests.

(e) Determination of Adverse Consequences. Indemnification payments under this Section 8 and Section 9 with respect to any Adverse Consequences shall be an amount which is sufficient to compensate the Indemnified Party for the event giving rise to such Adverse Consequences (the “Indemnified Event”). For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of indemnity payments shall be made only on a pre-tax basis and shall not take into account the federal, state, local or other Tax impact to the Buyer, Sellers or Targets in making or receiving such payments. For purposes of determining the amount of any Adverse Consequences subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8, the amount of such Adverse Consequences shall be determined net of any amounts specifically reflected in the Final Settlement Statement and directly resulting from the facts, events or circumstances giving rise to such Adverse Consequences. There shall be no indemnification for breaches of representations and warranties under this Section 8 with respect to any Adverse Consequence to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Adverse Consequence is indemnified pursuant to Section 9(a) or Section 9(j). All calculations shall be made at the time of the relevant indemnification payment using reasonable assumptions (as agreed to by the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party) and present value concepts (using a discount rate equal to the Applicable Rate as of the date the applicable claim for indemnification is made). The Parties shall make appropriate adjustments for insurance coverage payments actually received (taking into account any costs, expenses, premiums and taxes incurred by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the pursuit or recovery of such amounts) in determining Adverse Consequences for purposes of this Section 8. All indemnification payments under this Section 8 and Section 9 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(f) No Punitive Damages. In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive damages other than punitive damages timely paid to a third party.

(g) Duty to Mitigate. Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Adverse Consequences upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise to a right to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such mitigation; provided, that Sellers shall advance any Buyer Indemnitee’s costs and expenses in connection with mitigation of any Adverse Consequences resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by any Excluded Liability.

(h) Exclusive Remedy. Other than the Parties’ specific performance rights and remedies under Section 11(j) hereof, and except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, Buyer and Sellers acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Section 8 and in Section 9 shall be the exclusive remedy of Buyer and Sellers with respect to (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate furnished pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) any failure to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and Sellers hereby waive any statutory, equitable, or common law rights or remedies relating to any environmental, health, or safety matters, including without limitation any such matters arising under any Environmental, Health, and Safety Requirements and including without limitation any arising under CERCLA.

(i) Form of Indemnification Payment. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Section 8 or Section 9 shall be made in cash by Wire Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 2(k), if such cash payment by Sellers would result in the aggregate net consideration received by Sellers under this Agreement being comprised of less than 25% cash, such payment shall be instead made (i) first, in cash up to the amount that would result in the aggregate net consideration received by Sellers under this Agreement being 25% cash and (ii) second, in Buyer Notes (valued at the aggregate principal amount thereof) or shares of common stock of Buyer (valued for such purpose at the price per share equal to the 30-Day VWAP as of the date of such payment) held by Sellers, or a combination thereof, at the option of Buyer, up to the value of Buyer Notes and Buyer common stock held by Sellers, and (iii) third, any remaining amount of such payment, in cash.

Section 9. Tax Matters.

The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Sellers for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date:

(a) Tax Indemnification.

(i) Each Seller shall jointly and severally indemnify Buyer Indemnitees and hold them harmless from and against all Adverse Consequences incurred by such Buyer Indemnitees in connection with or arising from: (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) imposed on the Targets, or for which the Targets may otherwise be liable, for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), other than Taxes imposed as a result of any transaction that occurs on the Closing Date after the effective time of the Closing, (ii) any and all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary group of which any Target (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar Law, (iii) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Targets) imposed on the Targets as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing, (iv) any Section 338 Taxes, and (v) any and all Taxes arising from or attributable to any breach by Sellers of a Tax covenant under this Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, Sellers shall be liable only to the extent that such Taxes are not taken into account in computing Capital and Surplus as of the Closing.

(ii) Buyer shall indemnify Seller Indemnities and shall hold them harmless from and against Adverse Consequences incurred by such Seller Indemnitees in connection with or arising from all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) imposed on the Targets, or for which Targets may otherwise be liable, excluding Taxes for which Sellers are responsible under this Section 9(a).

(b) Straddle Period. Any liability for Taxes attributable to any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the portion of the taxable period beginning on the day after the Closing Date, (i) in the case of real and personal property Taxes on a per diem basis and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, on the basis of a closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date, except, however, (A) that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the remaining portion of such Straddle Period in proportion to the number of days in each such portion; and (B) if the Closing Date is not the first or last calendar day of a month and income shall not be determinable by a closing of the books, Income Taxes shall be determined for the period up to and including the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date pursuant to the monthly allocation method prescribed in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(iii).

(c) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. Sellers shall (i) include the income of the Targets (including any deferred items triggered into income by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-13 and any excess loss account taken into income under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-19) on the consolidated federal Income Tax Returns of Sellers and on the appropriate combined or consolidated state Income Tax returns for all periods through the end of the Closing Date and pay any Income Taxes attributable to such income, and (ii) timely file or cause to be timely filed when due all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to any of the Targets for taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date and pay any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with prior custom and practice, except as required by any change in applicable Law. Buyer shall cause the Targets to furnish Tax information to Sellers for inclusion in the Targets’ Tax Returns for the period that includes the Closing Date in accordance with the Targets’ past custom and practice. Buyer shall cause the Targets to file all other Tax Returns for all periods other than periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and to pay any Taxes due in respect of such periods. Without the prior written consent of Sellers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or the Targets to, amend any Tax Returns or make or change any Tax election or accounting methods, in each case with respect to any Target relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period, except to the extent required by applicable Tax Law. Upon a determination by Buyer or any such Affiliate or Target that such amendment or making or changing of any Tax elections or accounting methods is so required, Buyer shall promptly notify Sellers of such determination. Sellers or Buyer shall reimburse the other Party the Taxes for which Sellers or Buyer is liable pursuant to Section 9(a) but which are remitted in respect of any Tax Return to be filed by the other Party pursuant to this Section 9(c) upon the written request of the Party entitled to reimbursement setting forth in detail the computation of the amount owed by Sellers or Buyer, as the case may be, but in no event earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for paying such Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, such reimbursement obligations shall not be subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 8.

(d) Refunds and Tax Benefits. Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or any Target, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer or any Target become entitled, that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of Sellers, and Buyer shall pay over to Sellers any such refund or the amount of any such credit (less Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such refund or credit) within ten (10) days after receipt or entitlement thereto; provided, however, that Buyer shall be entitled to any refund or credit taken into account in computing Capital and Surplus as of the Closing. In addition, to the extent that a claim for refund or a proceeding results in a payment or credit against Tax by a taxing authority to Buyer or Targets of any amount accrued as a liability on the Final Settlement Statement, Buyer shall pay such amount to Sellers within ten (10) days after receipt or entitlement thereto. None of Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates or Targets shall carry back to a Tax year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date any item of loss, deduction, or credit or any net operating loss, net capital loss or other Tax credit or benefit that is attributable to, arises from or relates to any Tax year or period that ends after the Closing Date, except as required by Law. To the extent any carryback is required by Law, Buyer shall be entitled to any refund or credit with respect to state and local or non-U.S. Taxes (including any interest relating thereto) that results from the carryback of losses, credits or similar items from a taxable year or period that begins after the Closing Date and is attributable to any Target, and any such refund or credit (less Sellers’ reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such refund or credit) to which Sellers are entitled shall be paid by Sellers to Buyer within thirty (30) days after any Seller becomes entitled thereto. Either party shall take reasonable steps as may be requested by the other party to obtain any refund or credit to which any one party is entitled under this subparagraph (d).

(e) Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(i) Buyer, Targets and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 9 and any audit or other Action with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit or other Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer and Sellers agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Targets 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 taxing authority, and (B) to give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records.

(ii) Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(iii) Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use reasonable efforts to provide the other Party with all information that either Party may be required to report pursuant to Code §6043, or Code §6043A, or Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(f) Contest Provisions.

(i) Buyer shall notify Sellers in writing upon receipt by Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliate, or, after the Closing Date, the Targets, of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments relating to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or to any Straddle Period; provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Buyer’s right to indemnification under this Agreement except to the extent such failure materially impairs Sellers’ ability to contest any such Tax liabilities.

(ii) Sellers shall have the sole right to represent the Targets’ interests in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to a Tax liability for which Sellers would be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 9 and that relates solely to a taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date, and to employ counsel of such Seller’s choice at such Seller’s expense; provided, however, that such Seller shall have no right to represent any Target’s interests in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding unless (A) such Seller shall have first notified Buyer in writing of such Seller’s intention to do so and of the identity of counsel, if any, chosen by such Seller in connection therewith, and (B) that such Seller agrees with Buyer that, as between Buyer and such Seller, such Seller shall be liable for any Adverse Consequences relating to Taxes that result from such audit or proceeding; provided, further, that Buyer and its representatives shall be permitted, at Buyer’s expense, to be present at any such audit or proceeding, other than any audit or proceeding relating to any consolidated Income Tax Return. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Sellers nor any Affiliate of Sellers shall be entitled to settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any claim for Taxes which could adversely affect the liability for Taxes of Buyer or any Buyer Affiliate or the Targets for any period after the Closing Date to any extent unless Sellers have indemnified Buyer and each Buyer Affiliate (including the Targets) against the effects of any such settlement (including the imposition of income Tax deficiencies, the reduction of asset basis or cost adjustments, the lengthening of any amortization or depreciation periods, the denial of amortization or depreciation deductions, or the reduction of loss or credit carryforwards) without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(iii) Buyer shall have the sole right to represent the Targets’ interests in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to Tax liabilities other than those for which Seller has exercised such right pursuant to paragraph (f)(ii) of this Section 9 and to employ counsel of Buyer’s choice at Buyer’s expense.

(iv) Nothing herein shall be construed to impose on Buyer any obligation to defend the Targets in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding under Section 9(f)(ii) or Section 9(f)(iii). Any proceeding with respect to which Sellers do not assume control in accordance with this Section 9(f) may be settled or compromised in the discretion of Buyer, and any such settlement or compromise shall not affect any Buyer Indemnitees right to indemnification under this Agreement.

(g) Tax-Sharing Agreements. All Tax Sharing Arrangements or similar agreements with respect to or involving Targets shall be applied to the period that includes the Closing Date and shall be terminated as they apply to Targets as of the Closing Date and, for taxable years commencing after the Closing Date, Targets shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(h) Transfer Taxes. Any and all Taxes arising from any real property transfer or gains Tax, sales Tax, use Tax, stamp Tax, stock transfer Tax, or other similar Tax imposed on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid one-half by Sellers and one-half by Buyer when due.

(i) Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(i) Buyer and Sellers shall jointly make a timely election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code on IRS Form 8023 for the Targets. Buyer and Sellers agree to file such Form with the relevant tax authorities, and Buyer and Sellers each agree to file all income, franchise and other Tax Returns, and execute such other documents as may be required by any tax authority, in a manner consistent with such election. Each of Buyer and Sellers agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall take, or fail to take, any action to the extent such action or failure to act, as the case may be, is inconsistent with or would otherwise prejudice any election under Code §338(h)(10) made by the Parties hereunder.

(ii) Within one hundred and fifty (150) days following the Closing Date or, if later, within sixty (60) days following the determination of the Final Capital and Surplus, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a schedule (the “Preliminary Allocation Schedule”) allocating the ADSP (as such term is defined in Treas. Reg. §1.338-4, taking into account Treas. Reg. §1.338-11) for the assets of the Targets for which an election under Code §338(h)(10) will be made, among the assets of such Targets. The Preliminary Allocation Schedule shall be reasonable and shall be prepared in accordance with Code §338(h)(10) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Preliminary Allocation Schedule, Buyer has not notified Sellers in writing of its disagreement with the Preliminary Allocation Schedule, the Preliminary Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding. If within such 30-day period Buyer so notifies Sellers, Buyer and Sellers shall endeavor to resolve such disagreement, and if they are able to do so shall make such revisions to the Preliminary Allocation Schedule to reflect such resolution, which shall be final and binding. However, if Buyer and Sellers are unable to resolve any disagreement within thirty (30) days after notification of disagreement, then Buyer and Sellers shall each prepare their own Preliminary Allocation Schedule following its interpretation of the applicable Treasury Regulations under Code §338(h)(10). Each of Buyer and Sellers agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall file any federal, state, local and foreign Tax Returns in a manner that is inconsistent with any final and binding Preliminary Allocation Schedule, provided that adjustments may be made to reflect any transaction costs not included in the Preliminary Allocation Schedule or any Reserve Release Payments or other payments made after the Closing that are treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(j) Product Tax Claims.

(i) During the period that Great American Life Insurance Company (“GALIC”) provides administrative services with respect to a given Insurance Contract under the Administrative Services Agreement, Sellers shall be responsible for taking the appropriate corrective action required under Section 4(m)(xiv) and for remedying any breach of a representation or warranty under Section 4(m)(xiv)-(xviii), in each case with respect to such Insurance Contract. Sellers shall be responsible for the cost of all such corrective action or for curing any such breach, including the cost and fees of attorneys, accountants, and consultants hired by Sellers with respect to correction or negotiations related thereto, the amount of any compliance fee paid under a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service, and for all related mailing costs to Insurance Contract owners. If a Third-Party Claim asserts that a breach of a representation or warranty under Section 4(m)(xiv)-(xix) may havehas occurred, but Sellers dispute that claim, Sellers may contest that claim, and Sellers shall pay the costs and fees of discussions, proceedings, negotiations, or litigation, as well as any resulting judgment, award, settlement or final assessment arising out of or related to that claim. Sellers shall be authorized to represent the Targets in all discussions or other proceedings with the Internal Revenue Service related to corrective action and in all proceedings related to disputed claims, and shall control the negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service or any proceedings related to a disputed Third Party Claim, and Targets shall provide Sellers designated representatives with a power of attorney as appropriate for this purpose. Sellers shall notify Buyer of any acknowledged or alleged breach of a representation or warranty under Section 4(m)(xiv)-(xviii) that may have a Material Adverse Effect, and shall keep Buyer informed about the progress of any negotiations or proceedings and about any corrective actions taken with respect thereto.

(ii) After the period that GALIC provides administrative services with respect to a given Insurance Contract under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Buyer Indemnitees may bring a claim pursuant to Section 8(b) that relates to a breach of a representation or warranty under Section 4(m)(xiv)-(xviii) with respect to such Insurance Contract. Buyer may bring such claim even if no related Third-Party Claim has been first asserted or made against Buyer with respect thereto; provided, however, that any such claim must be based on the good faith determination by Buyer that a breach of a representation or warranty under Section 4(m)(xiv)-(xviii) has occurred and has not been corrected. If any Buyer Indemnitee brings a claim for a breach of a representation or warranty under Section 4(m)(xiv)-(xviii) with respect to which no Third-Party Claim has previously been asserted, Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to determine whether any breach of a representation or warranty under Section 4(m)(xiv)-(xviii) has occurred and, if necessary, to develop corrective measures that are reasonable and efficacious, taking into account all of the relevant facts and circumstances then applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Adverse Consequences with respect to any such claim shall include all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees (including allocable employee compensation and other internal costs and fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, consultants and others and other out-of-pocket expenses) to analyze and correct or repair any information technology to avoid a recurrence of the circumstances that provided the basis for such claim (regardless of whether such circumstances would reasonably be expected to arise solely with respect to policies or contracts issued or administered following the Closing Date using such information technology).

(iii) After the period that GALIC provides administrative services with respect to a given Insurance Contract under the Administrative Services Agreement, if Sellers and Buyer cannot agree whether a breach of a representation or warranty under Section 4(m)(xiv)-(xviii) has occurred with respect to such Insurance Contract, or with respect to the appropriate reasonable and efficacious corrective measures, the disagreement shall be resolved by a recognized law firm, accounting firm or actuarial firm mutually agreed on by Buyer and Sellers, and any such determination by such law firm, accounting firm or actuarial firm shall be final. Such law firm, accounting firm or actuarial firm shall render a determination within sixty days of the referral of such matter for resolution. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm or actuarial firm shall be borne equally by Buyer and Sellers. In the event that the corrective measures described in this Section 9(j) include making any request to the Internal Revenue Service for relief with respect to such failure, Buyer and Sellers shall jointly participate in all discussions or other proceedings with the Internal Revenue Service, including attendance at meetings and joint approval of all written submissions. Buyer shall control the decision of whether or not to enter into a closing agreement or other arrangement with the Internal Revenue Service in connection with such discussions or other proceedings, provided that Buyer shall not enter into any such closing agreement or other arrangement without the consent of Sellers, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer shall control the implementation of the corrective measures described in this Section 9(j).

Section 10. Termination.

(a) Termination of Agreement. Certain of the Parties may terminate this Agreement as provided below:

(i) Buyer and Sellers may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing;

(iv) Sellers may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Buyer at any time prior to the Closing (A) in the event Buyer has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, any Seller has notified Buyer of the breach, and the breach is not capable of being cured or is capable of being cured and has continued without cure for a period of thirty (30) days after the notice of breach or (B) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date, unless the failure to consummate the Closing results primarily from any Seller materially breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement, or breaches of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, are equally responsible for such failure; provided, that the Outside Date may be extended by not more than sixty (60) days by Buyer by written notice to Sellers if the Closing shall not have occurred as a result of the condition set forth in Section 7(a)(vi) failing to have been satisfied and Buyer reasonably believes that the relevant approvals will be obtained during such extension period.

(b) Effect of Termination. If any Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10(a) above, all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any liability of any Party to any other Party (except for any liability of any Party then in breach of this Agreement for such breach or any liability of any Party for fraud); provided, however, that this Section 10(b), Section 11 and the confidentiality provisions contained in Section 5(f) above shall survive termination.

Section 11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Nature of Sellers’ Obligations. All representations, warranties, and covenants of Sellers in this Agreement are joint and several obligations. This means that each Seller shall be responsible to the extent provided in Section 8(b)(i) above for the entirety of any Adverse Consequences any Buyer Indemnitee may suffer as a result of any breach or inaccuracy thereof.

(b) Press Releases and Public Announcements. No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement prior to the Closing without the prior approval of Buyer and Sellers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that any Party or any Affiliate of any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable Law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly traded securities (in which case the disclosing Party will use its reasonable best efforts to advise and connect with the other Parties prior to making the disclosure).

(c) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, including among the exceptions Section 8 with respect to Buyer Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees, this Agreement shall not confer any legal or equitable rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including the Schedules, Annexes, Attachments and Exhibits hereto and thereto) contain the complete agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect thereto other than the Confidentiality Agreement (which shall terminate on the Closing Date, to the extent not previously terminated), to the extent not in conflict with this Agreement.

(i) Buyer acknowledges that the only representations or warranties made by the Sellers are as set forth in this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that, except as set forth herein, no person has made any representation or warranty to Buyer with respect to: (i) any information set forth in the materials the Sellers or their Affiliates or agents prepared for parties interested in investing in or acquiring the Targets or (ii) any other financial projection or forecast delivered by or on behalf of the Buyer or the Sellers. Buyer acknowledges that: (A) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections and forecasts; (B) it is familiar with such uncertainties; (C) it is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all such projections and forecasts so furnished to it; and (D) it shall have no claim against any Person with respect to any such projection or forecast (other than in the case of fraud).

(ii) Buyer acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction an investigation and verification of the financial condition, operations, assets, liabilities and properties of each of the Targets.

Buyer further acknowledges that, except as set forth herein, no promise or inducement for this Agreement was offered by the Sellers or any of their respective representatives or relied upon by Buyer. THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE SELLERS IN ARTICLES 3(A) AND 4 HEREOF CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLERS TO BUYER IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HERBY, AND BUYER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OF NATURE EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ANY RELATING TO THE FUTURE OR HISTORICAL FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, ASSETS OR LIABILITIES OR PROSPECTS OF THE COMPANIES), ARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED BY THE SELLERS.

(e) Succession and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign or delegate either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of Buyer and Sellers, and any such assignment that is not consented to shall be null and void; provided, however, that Buyer may (i) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates and (ii) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder (in any or all of which cases Buyer nonetheless shall remain responsible for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this subsection shall change or modify the form of the non-cash consideration or issues of the non-cash consideration set forth in Section 2 hereof.

(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by means of facsimile or PDF), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

C §349 and the Rules of the Delaware Court of Chancery promulgated thereunder (the “Chancery Rules”), if such Dispute is eligible for arbitration pursuant to the Chancery Rules and is accepted by the Delaware Court of Chancery. The Parties hereby agree to take all steps necessary or advisable, including execution of documents to be filed with the Delaware Court of Chancery, in order properly to submit such Dispute for Arbitration (as defined in the Chancery Rules) in accordance with this Section 11(k), and each such Party agrees that it shall raise no objection to the submission of such Dispute to Arbitration in accordance with this Section 11(k) and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection that it may have or hereafter have to the submission of such Dispute for Arbitration or any right to lay claim to jurisdiction in any venue. The Parties intend that this Section 11(k) be interpreted as broadly as possible, and in favor of prompt and binding arbitration.

(ii) The Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Chancery Rules; provided that the Parties hereto may agree to amend, modify or alter such rules, and/or adopt new rules, in each case with the consent of the Arbitrator (as defined below). Any such amendments, modifications or alterations shall be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each such Party and by the Arbitrator. The Arbitration shall take place in Delaware or such other location as the Parties and the Arbitrator may agree.

(iii) The Arbitration shall be presided over by one arbitrator who shall be the chancellor or a vice-chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery appointed as an arbitrator by the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Arbitrator”).

(iv) The arbitral award (the “Award”) shall (A) be written or oral, (B) state the reasons for the Award, and (C) be the sole and exclusive binding remedy with respect to the Dispute between and among the Parties. The Parties hereto acknowledge that time is of the essence and the Parties hereto agree that they shall not seek to vary the timing provisions of the Chancery Rules. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All Awards of the Arbitrator shall be final, nonappealable and binding on the Parties. The Parties hereto waive any right to refer any question of law and right of appeal on the law and/or merits to any court, including any appeal contemplated by 10 Del. C. §349(c). The Award shall be deemed an award of the United States, the relationship between the Parties shall be deemed commercial in nature, and any dispute arbitrated pursuant to this Section 11(k) shall be deemed commercial.

(v) The Arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any equitable or legal remedies that would be available under this Agreement in any judicial proceeding intended to resolve a Dispute, including ordering specific performance under Section 11(j) and entering injunctive or other equitable relief pending the final decision of the Arbitrator or the rendering of the Award.

(vi) Each Party hereto shall bear its own legal fees and costs in connection with the Arbitration; provided, however, that each such Party shall pay one-half of any filing fees, fees and expenses of the Arbitrator or other similar costs incurred by the Parties in connection with the prosecution of the Arbitration.

(vii) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11(k), each Party hereto shall be entitled to seek interim or provisional relief in the Delaware Court of Chancery or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any Federal court located in the State of Delaware to (A) protect the rights or property of such Party, (B) maintain the status quo until such time as the Award is rendered or the Dispute is otherwise resolved, or (C) prevent breaches of this Agreement. By doing so, such Party does not waive any right or remedy under this Agreement.

(viii) Each of the Parties to this Agreement (A) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Arbitrator, the Delaware Court of Chancery and the Federal courts located in the State of Delaware in connection with proceedings pursuant to this Section 11(k), (B) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (C) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court, and (D) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any other court, except in accordance with Section 11(k)(ix) below. Each of the Parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Any Party hereto may make service on another Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 11(h).

(ix) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that a Dispute is not eligible for arbitration under the Chancery Rules, each of the Parties (A) submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware and the County of New Castle (each, a “Delaware Court”) in any Dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (B) agrees that all claims in respect of any such Action may be heard and determined by any Delaware Court, and (C) each Party also agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court other than a Delaware Court; provided that, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Parties agree that any such Dispute shall be heard and determined by the Complex Commercial Litigation Division of the Superior Court for the County of New Castle. Each of the Parties waives any defense asserting that any Action interpreting or enforcing this Agreement may not be brought or is not maintainable in such Delaware Court and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto; provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent or in any way restrict the Parties from seeking to compel arbitration pursuant to this Section 11(k).

(l) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Buyer and Sellers. No waiver by any Party of any provision of this Agreement or any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Party making such waiver nor shall such waiver be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

(m) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof, such holding and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.

(n) Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, Buyer and Sellers will each bear its or their own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(o) Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. When reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section, a clause, an Exhibit, an Annex or a Schedule, that reference is to an Article, a Section or a clause of, or an Exhibit, Annex or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean “including without limitation.” References to any section of any statute, listing rule, rule, standard, regulation or other Law will be deemed to include any successor to such section. References to “$” or “dollars” are references to United States Dollars. Any document, list or other item shall be deemed to have been “made available” to Buyer for all purposes of this Agreement only if such document, list or other item was posted before the date hereof in the electronic dataroom established by Sellers in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Any reference to “the date hereof” or “the date of this Agreement” shall refer to the date of the Original Agreement and not to the Amendment and Restatement Date unless the context otherwise requires.

(q) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
