Section 2.2 Consideration.

(a) Consideration. The aggregate consideration to be paid hereunder in respect of the Interests (the “Consideration”) shall equal $48,700,000, plus (i) the amount of Closing Cash, less (ii) the amount of Closing Indebtedness, less (iii) the amount of Seller Expenses that are unpaid at Closing, plus (iv) the amount, if any, by which Closing Working Capital is greater than Target Working Capital, less (v) the amount, if any, by which Closing Working Capital is less than Target Working Capital. The Consideration shall be estimated and finally determined pursuant to Section 2.2(b). The Estimated Consideration (as defined below) shall be paid at Closing based upon the Estimated Closing Statement (as defined below) and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.2(b)(ii)(D) and (E) below. All amounts referred to in this Agreement are payable in U.S. dollars.

(b) Determination of Consideration. The Consideration shall be estimated and finally determined as follows:

(i) Closing Date Estimate. No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) containing the Company’s good faith estimates of the amounts of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital and Seller Expenses, together with a calculation of the Consideration taking into account such estimates (the “Estimated Consideration”) based on such estimates (which Estimated Closing Statement shall be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser). The Estimated Closing Statement and all amounts, estimates, determinations and calculations contained therein shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

(ii) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(A) Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and, as soon as practical, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (which may be extended by an additional fifteen (15) days at Purchaser’s written election, if Purchaser determines it to be reasonably necessary under the circumstances), shall cause to be delivered to the Representative, a statement (the “Closing Statement”) containing the actual amounts of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital and Seller Expenses, together with a calculation of the Consideration based on such amounts. The Closing Statement and all amounts, estimates, determinations and calculations contained therein shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. In the event that Purchaser does not provide the Closing Statement within such sixty (60)-day period (as it may be extended by an additional 15 days, as provided above), Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted in full the Estimated Closing Statement as prepared by the Company, and the Estimated Closing Statement shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Purchaser, the Company, Sellers and the Representative for all purposes hereunder as of 5:00 P.M. Eastern time on such sixtieth (60th) day (as it may be extended by an additional fifteen (15) days, as provided above).

(B) If the Representative disagrees in whole or in part with the Closing Statement, then within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Closing Statement, the Representative shall notify Purchaser of such disagreement in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”), setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of any such disagreement. To be effective, any such Notice of Disagreement shall include a copy of Purchaser’s Closing Statement marked to indicate the specific line items of the Closing Statement that are in dispute (the “Disputed Line Items”) and shall be accompanied by the Representative’s calculation of each of the Disputed Line Items and the Representative’s revised Closing Statement setting forth its determination of the Consideration and any component thereof. All items that are not Disputed Line Items shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder unless the resolution of a Disputed Line Item affects an undisputed item, in which case such undisputed item shall remain open and be considered a Disputed Line Item to the extent of such corresponding effect. In the event that the Representative does not provide a Notice of Disagreement within such thirty (30)-day period, the Representative shall be deemed to have accepted in full the Closing Statement as prepared by Purchaser, and such Closing Statement shall become final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder as of 5:00 P.M. Eastern time on such thirtieth (30th) day. In the event any Notice of Disagreement is properly and timely provided, Purchaser and the Representative shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts for a period of fifteen (15) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any Disputed Line Items. During such fifteen (15)-day period, Purchaser and the Representative shall cooperate with each other and shall have reasonable access to the books and records, working papers, schedules and calculations of the other used in the preparation of the Closing Statement and the Notice of Disagreement and the determination of the Consideration and Disputed Line Items and the officers and other employees of the other Party, in each case, to the extent reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the resolution of the Disputed Line Items. All Disputed Line Items agreed to during such fifteen (15)-day period shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and not subject to further appeal. If, at the end of such period, Purchaser and the Representative are unable to resolve all such Disputed Line Items, then any such remaining Disputed Line Items shall be referred to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm selected by Purchaser and not reasonably objected to by the Representative (the “Accounting Firm”); provided, that neither KPMG LLP nor PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP shall be selected as the Accounting Firm. Purchaser and the Representative will enter into reasonable and customary arrangements for the services to be rendered by the Accounting Firm under this Section 2.2(b)(ii)(B), such services to be provided in the Accounting Firm’s capacity as an accounting expert and not an arbitrator. The Accounting Firm shall be directed to determine as promptly as practicable (and Purchaser and the Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such determination to occur within thirty (30) days) whether the Consideration as set forth in the Closing Statement requires adjustment. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed that, in making such determination, it may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party, and that the Accounting Firm is only to consider matters still in dispute between Purchaser and the Representative. Purchaser, the Company and the Representative shall each furnish to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the Disputed Line Items, and shall provide interviews and answer questions, as such Accounting Firm may reasonably request. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and shall be based solely on the terms of this Agreement (including Section 2.2(a)) and the written submissions by Purchaser and the Representative and not by independent review or investigation.

(C) The costs and expenses for the services of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers (based on their respective Pro Rata Shares), on the other hand, in inverse relation to their success with respect to any disputes submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution. Subject to the foregoing sentence, each party shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.2(b).

(D) After the Consideration has been finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.2(b)(ii) (the Consideration as so determined being referred to herein as the “Final Consideration”), the following payments shall be made:

(1) If the Final Consideration exceeds the Estimated Consideration, then Purchaser shall pay an amount in cash equal to such excess to the Sellers on a pro rata basis based on their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(2) If the Estimated Consideration exceeds the Final Consideration, Purchaser and the Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to Purchaser a portion of the Escrow Amount equal to such excess), and if such amount is not sufficient to cover such excess in full Purchaser may thereafter recover any remaining amount of such excess in cash from the Sellers.

(E) Any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii)(D) shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after the determination of the Final Consideration via wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the recipient thereof.

(F) Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)(ii)(F) shall be treated for all purposes as adjustments to the Consideration.

(c) Accounting Procedures. The Estimated Closing Statement, the Closing Statement and the determinations and calculations contained therein shall be prepared and calculated on a consolidated basis for the Company in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, whether or not consistent with the Company’s past accounting practices.

Section 2.3 Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of Purchaser and the Company, and any of their respective agents, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from payments made in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, and any other Applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective agents, as the case may be, such deducted and withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective agents to the applicable Governmental Entity and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective agents, as the case may be.

Section 2.4 LLC Conversion. Prior to the Closing, each of the Sellers shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the Company to be converted into a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Texas in accordance with the Texas Limited Partnership Law, as amended, and the Texas Limited Liability Company Law, as amended, effective immediately prior to the Closing having such limited liability company agreement and other organizational documents as determined by Purchaser (the “Conversion”). Upon consummation of the Conversion, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (x) each Seller shall receive membership interests or other equity or ownership interests of the Company as a limited liability company in proportion to his or its Pro Rata Share of the total partnership interests in the Company as a limited partnership, and (y) all references to the “Interests” in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests or other equity or ownership interests of the Company as a limited liability company, and any assignments of the “GP Interests” or the “LP Interests” shall instead refer to assignments of such membership interests or other equity or ownership interests of the Company as a limited liability company. For the avoidance of doubt, all references to the “Company” in this Agreement, or in any Contract executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, shall be deemed to also be references to the Company after the Conversion.

Section 2.5 [Reserved]

Section 2.6 Contingent Payment.

(a) If 2013 Business Revenue is greater than 88% of the 2013 Business Revenue Target, then Purchaser shall make an additional payment to the Sellers in accordance with Section 2.6(d) (the “2013 Contingent Payment”) equal to an additional $637,500 for each percentage point in excess of 88% (with such calculations rounded to the nearest whole percentage), provided that in no event shall such payment exceed $7,650,000, all as more particularly reflected in the table included in Schedule 2.6. For the avoidance of doubt, if 2013 Business Revenue is not greater than 88% of the 2013 Business Revenue Target, then there shall be no 2013 Contingent Payment paid or payable by Purchaser. The Parties agree that in the event of a change in GAAP or the accounting policies of DealerTrack Holdings, Inc., the 2013 Business Revenue Target may be adjusted (increased or decreased) by Purchaser in a manner that is reasonably equitable to both Purchaser and the Sellers, to take into account such changes. The Parties understand and agree that the right to receive any 2013 Contingent Payment shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, are not transferable (other than by operation of Applicable Laws relating to descent and distribution, divorce and community property), and do not constitute an equity or ownership interest in Purchaser or the Company, and the Sellers shall not have any rights as a security holder of Purchaser or the Company as a result of such contingent right. No interest is payable with respect to any 2013 Contingent Payment. Certain terms used in this Section 2.6 have the meanings assigned in Schedule 2.6.

(b) As promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than March 31, 2014, Purchaser shall deliver to the Representative a written statement setting forth the amount of the 2013 Business Revenue, and a reasonably detailed computation of such amounts (a “Contingent Payment Statement”), accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation sufficient to enable the Representative to verify the calculations contained in the Contingent Payment Statement. The Contingent Payment Statement and the determinations and calculations contained therein, including the calculation of 2013 Business Revenue, shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with GAAP and, to the extent consistent with GAAP, using the same accounting principles, practices, procedures, policies and methods (with consistent classifications, judgments, inclusions, exclusions and valuation and estimation methodologies) used and applied by Purchaser in the preparation of DealerTrack Holdings, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements; provided, however, that, other than as provided in Schedule 2.6, any revenue from existing or future subsidiaries, businesses or acquisitions of Purchaser or its Affiliates, shall not be taken into account for purposes of the 2013 Contingent Payment or 2013 Business Revenue.

(c) The Representative shall have thirty (30) calendar days from the date of receipt of a Contingent Payment Statement to review and dispute the computation of the 2013 Business Revenue. Purchaser shall make available to the Representative and his auditors (if any) all books and records, work papers, schedules and calculations that the Representative and his auditors (if any) reasonably request in connection with their review of such Contingent Payment Statement, and reasonable access to Purchaser’s and the Company’s officers and employees to verify the accuracy of the amounts in such Contingent Payment Statement. In the event that the Representative disagrees with the amount of the 2013 Business Revenue, as calculated, the Representative shall deliver written notice of such disagreement to Purchaser, which notice shall include the Representative’s reasonably detailed explanation of the basis of the disagreement and a reasonably detailed calculation of the 2013 Business Revenue and which disagreement shall be limited to mathematical errors and the failure of the Contingent Payment Statement or the 2013 Business Revenue, to be prepared or calculated in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.6 (a “Contingent Payment Objection Notice”). If the Representative has delivered a Contingent Payment Objection Notice to Purchaser, Purchaser and the Representative will endeavor to resolve any disagreements noted in the Contingent Payment Objection Notice in good faith as soon as reasonably practicable after the delivery of such notice, but if they do not obtain a final resolution within thirty (30) calendar days after Purchaser has received the Contingent Payment Objection Notice, either the Representative or Purchaser may submit the matters in dispute to the Accounting Firm to resolve any remaining disagreements. The Representative and Purchaser shall direct the Accounting Firm to use its commercially reasonable efforts to render a determination within thirty (30) calendar days of its receipt of the Parties’ supporting documentation and the Representative and Purchaser and their respective agents will cooperate with the Accounting Firm during its resolution of any disagreements included in the Contingent Payment Objection Notice. The Accounting Firm will consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Contingent Payment Objection Notice that the Representative and Purchaser are unable to resolve. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by any Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by any Party. The scope of the disputes to be arbitrated by the Accounting Firm is limited to whether the preparation of such Contingent Payment Statement and the calculation of 2013 Business Revenue were done in a manner consistent with the terms of this Section 2.6 and whether there were mathematical errors in the preparation of the Contingent Payment Statement or the calculation of 2013 Business Revenue and the Accounting Firm is not to make any other determination. The fees and expenses for the services of the Accounting Firm incurred pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall be borne by the Sellers (based on their respective Pro Rata Shares), on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, in inverse relation to their success with respect to any disputes submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution. Subject to the foregoing sentence, each Party shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.6(c). The determination of the Accounting Firm as to a Contingent Payment Objection Notice shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Representative and Purchaser and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Parties agree that judgment may be entered upon the arbitral award of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction pursuant to Section 12.13 hereof. The Contingent Payment Statement and amounts of 2013 Business Revenue as agreed to by the Representative and Purchaser or as determined by the Accounting Firm, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on all of the Parties hereto.

(d) Payments. Within ten (10) Business Days after the final determination of the amount due to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.6, if any, Purchaser shall pay to the Representative, for the benefit of and distribution to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, the 2013 Contingent Payment, if any, as the case may be, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Parties intend that to the extent Section 409A of the Code applies to the 2013 Contingent Payment (if any), the specified time for the payment of the 2013 Contingent Payment is the calendar year 2014.

Section 7.2 Tax Matters.

(a) General.

(i) Each Seller, severally and not jointly, based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Share, shall be liable for, pay (or caused to be paid) and indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against all Losses with respect to (A) Pre-Closing Taxes imposed on the Company and the Sellers (but as to the Sellers, limited to Pre-Closing Taxes attributable to the Company and the transactions contemplated hereby) and (B) the Taxes described in Section 7.2(a)(ii).

(ii) All transfer taxes, recording fees and other similar Taxes (and any interest, penalties or additions to Tax with respect thereto) that are imposed on any of the parties hereto by any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement shall be paid by Sellers.

(iii) The obligations of Sellers to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(iv) Whenever Sellers shall be required to pay Purchaser or Purchaser shall be required to pay Sellers an amount pursuant to this Section 7.2, such payments shall be made no later than five (5) days after such payments are requested.

(b) Tax Returns and Taxes. Sellers shall cause the Company to timely file all of its Tax Returns that are due on or prior to the Closing Date, and Sellers shall cause the Company to timely pay any Taxes shown to be due thereon. At least fifteen (15) days prior to filing any such Tax Return that is a non-income Tax Return (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any franchise Tax Return and any Tax Return relating to the margin Tax imposed by the State of Texas), the Company shall submit a copy of such Tax Return to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser and the Company shall timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns of the Company that are due after the Closing Date.

(i) Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Purchase and Sale of the Interests shall be treated for federal income Tax purposes and, as may be applicable, for state and local income Tax purposes, in accordance with Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432 (Situation 2). Sellers shall cause a final IRS Form 1065 to be prepared and filed with respect to the Company consistent with such position and Purchaser agrees to cooperate reasonably in connection with such filing. Purchaser shall acquire the interests in the Company in a single entity notwithstanding any assignability provision hereof such as Section 12.1 so that the Company shall be deemed to have terminated for federal income tax purposes consistent with Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432 (Situation 2). Purchaser and Sellers will file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such treatment, and will take no position inconsistent with such characterization for federal, state or local income Tax purposes, including in any audit, judicial or administrative proceeding.

(ii) Purchaser shall cause to be prepared, by the valuation firm customarily retained by Purchaser (the “Valuation Firm”), an allocation of the Consideration (plus all other relevant items) among the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. law, as appropriate) and to any covenants or agreements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such allocation, the “Allocation Schedule”). The Representative shall have reasonable access to the Valuation Firm for purposes of providing information and other input regarding the preparation of the draft Allocation Schedule prior to the delivery of the Allocation Schedule. Purchaser shall deliver the draft Allocation Schedule to the Representative not later than five (5) days before the Closing Date for the Representative’s review and comments. Purchaser shall cause the Valuation Firm to consider in good faith all reasonable comments received from the Representative, and all comments accepted by the Valuation Firm shall be incorporated into the Allocation Schedule; provided, that it is understood that the Allocation Schedule shall be as finally determined by the Valuation Firm after the Closing subject to this Section 7.2(c)(ii). The Valuation Firm’s final determination shall reflect an allocation of the Final Consideration consistent with the foregoing after taking into account any post-Closing adjustment pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii). The allocation of any Contingent Payment shall be to goodwill, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law. Sellers, the Representative and Purchaser agree (A) to act in accordance with the Allocation Schedule in the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns (including, in the case of Purchaser, IRS Form 8594), and (B) not to take any position inconsistent therewith in the course of any Tax proceeding, unless required to do so by Applicable Law. If any Governmental Entity challenges any allocation in the Allocation Schedule, the Party first receiving notice of such challenge shall give the other Party prompt notice of such challenge, and Purchaser and the Representative shall cooperate in good faith in responding to such challenge, in order to preserve the effectiveness of the agreed-upon allocation.

(d) Contests.

(i) If (A) a Governmental Entity asserts a claim for Taxes against the Company (other than in any administrative proceeding that relates to a voluntary disclosure agreement or similar proceeding) and (B) Sellers could be responsible for any portion of those Taxes under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 10.2(a) (any such claim, a “Tax Claim”), then the Party hereto first receiving notice (whether directly, or indirectly through an Affiliate of such Party) of such Tax Claim shall promptly provide to Purchaser, the Company and the Representative written notice specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Claim and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Governmental Entity in respect of such Tax Claim; provided, however, that the failure of such Party to give such prompt and detailed notice shall not relieve the other Party of any of its obligations under this Section 7.2, except if and only to the extent that the other Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

(ii) Unless within thirty (30) days after the Representative receives notice of a Tax Claim (whether from a Governmental Entity or pursuant to this Section 7.2(d)), which relates solely to Taxes for which Sellers would be responsible under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 10.2(a), the Representative provides to Purchaser a written notice in which the Representative elects not to contest, and to control the defense or prosecution of, such Tax Claim, then, subject to the provisions of this Section7.2(d), the Representative shall have the exclusive right to defend or prosecute and the right to control, at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, such Tax Claim by all appropriate proceedings as long as the Escrow Funds remaining in the Escrow Account exceed the amount of such Tax Claim. For any Tax Claim the defense or prosecution of which the Representative controls (a “Seller Controlled Proceeding”), (A) the Representative shall defend or prosecute the Tax Claim diligently and in good faith; (B) the Representative shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, enter into any compromise or settlement of such Tax Claim that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect Purchaser or the Company; (C) the Representative shall inform Purchaser of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Claim (including providing to Purchaser copies of relevant portions of all written materials relating to such Tax Claim); (D) Purchaser shall cooperate, at Sellers’ cost, with the Representative and its representatives in good faith in order to contest effectively such Tax Claim; and (E) Purchaser or its authorized representative shall be entitled, at the expense of Purchaser, to attend and participate in, all conferences, meetings and proceedings relating to such Tax Claim. Purchaser shall be entitled to control the defense of all other Tax Claims of the Company.

(e) Cooperation. Purchaser and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Representative, at Sellers’ cost, in connection with the filing of any Tax Return, in any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, and in allowing the Representative to review Tax Returns of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods to determine or verify the proper amounts payable as refunds hereunder; provided, however, that the Sellers shall cause the final IRS Form 1065 to be prepared and filed with respect to the Company and Purchaser agrees to cooperate reasonably in connection with such filing. Such cooperation shall include the reasonable retention and the provision of copies of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. Purchaser will, and will cause the Company to, retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and which relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (and, if notified in writing by another party, any extensions thereof), and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Entity. All of such information provided pursuant to this Section 7.2(e) shall be treated as Confidential Information pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. The Representative, Purchaser and the Company further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax authority or any other Person or take any other action as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed on any party hereto (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(f) Closing Date. Except as reasonably contemplated as part of the Purchase and Sale (including the deemed liquidation of the Company and the Company’s status as a disregarded entity after giving effect to the Purchase and Sale), Purchaser shall take no action or make any election on the Closing Date with respect to the Tax status of the Company or the Tax attributes of the Company or the Partners, including (i) any election for the Company to be taxed as a corporation or (ii) any manipulation of the Company’s profits or losses that would have, or be reasonably expected to have, an adverse impact on the Partners.

Section 7.3 Access to Information. From and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, upon reasonable notice, the Company shall (i) provide to Purchaser and its authorized representatives during normal business hours reasonable access to all books, records, assets, properties and personnel of the Company (in a manner so as to not interfere with the normal business operations of the Company) and (ii) furnish as promptly as practicable to Purchaser and its authorized representatives any information concerning the Company that Purchaser may reasonably request. All of such information shall be treated as Confidential Information pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 7.4 Efforts to Consummate. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the Parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the satisfaction, but not waiver, of the closing conditions set forth in Article 8 ). Each of Purchaser and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify and to obtain consents of all Governmental Entities as necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The terms of this Section 7.4 are subject to the provisions set forth in Section 7.1.

Section 7.5 Exclusive Dealing. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Sellers and the Company shall not take, nor shall any Seller or the Company permit any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other agents or representatives to take, any action to solicit, encourage, initiate, engage in or continue discussions, negotiations or other communications with, provide any information to or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or accept any proposal or offer from, or enter into any agreement with any Person (other than Purchaser or its Affiliates) concerning (i) any direct or indirect purchase of the Company’s equity securities, (ii) any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, reorganization, sale of assets or similar transaction involving the Company, or (iii) any other transaction in lieu of or that conflicts with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (each such transaction, an “Acquisition Transaction”). The Company shall notify Purchaser promptly, but in any event within twenty-four (24) hours, orally and in writing if any proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact with or by any Person with respect to an Acquisition Transaction, is made. Any such notice to Purchaser shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact and the terms and conditions of such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact. The Company shall not release any Person from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which the Company is a party, without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

Section 7.6 Contact with Customers, Suppliers and Other Business Relations. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser, upon the reasonable request of Purchaser, in arranging meetings and facilitating access for Purchaser and its representatives and Affiliates with mutually agreed upon customers and suppliers of the Company. Purchaser shall not directly initiate any such meetings or access. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) once such mutual agreement is obtained with respect to a particular customer or supplier, Purchaser shall not be required to again obtain consent or mutual agreement for further meetings and access with such customer or supplier and (ii) no such consent or mutual agreement shall be required in the case of customers or suppliers that are also customers or suppliers of Purchaser or its Affiliates to the extent any such meeting or access does not cover the affairs of the Company.

Section 7.7 Employee Benefits Matters. If requested by Purchaser, the Company will adopt all necessary resolutions to terminate each 401(k) Plan sponsored or maintained by the Company, effective as of no later than one day prior to the Closing Date (but such termination may be contingent upon the Closing). Immediately prior to any such termination, the Company will make all necessary payments to fund the contributions: (i) necessary or required to maintain the tax-qualified status of the 401(k) Plan; (ii) for elective deferrals made pursuant to the 401(k) Plan for the period prior to termination; and (iii) for employer matching contributions (if any) for the period prior to termination. For this purpose, the term “401(k) Plan” means any plan intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a) which includes a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Code Section 401(k). In the event any 401(k) Plan is terminated, the Company shall provide Purchaser with a copy of resolutions duly adopted by the Company so terminating any such 401(k) Plan.

Section 7.8 Notification. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, each of the Company and the Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall give prompt written notice to the other Parties of the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event, which occurrence or failure to occur would be reasonably likely to cause (a) any representation or warranty of such Party that is contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect as if such representation and warranty were made at such time and (b) such Party to fail to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such Person under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document.

Section 7.9 Releases. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in consideration of the execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement, as of the Closing, each of the Sellers, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (each, a “Releasing Party”) hereby RELEASES, WAIVES, ACQUITS AND FOREVER DISCHARGES the Company, Purchaser and each of their respective Affiliates, together with their respective past and present officers, directors, partners, members, trustees, employees, stockholders, agents, attorneys and representatives (each, a “Released Party”), from any and all Losses, liabilities, costs, expenses, claims, damages, actions, causes of action, or suits in law or equity, of whatever kind or nature that any Releasing Party ever had or may now have against any Released Party and that have accrued or arisen prior to the Closing, including those based on any fact or circumstance arising from such Seller’s past or current ownership, as applicable, of any Interests issued by the Company (including any claims relating to actual or alleged breaches of fiduciary or other duties by the Company’s directors, officers, partners, members or stockholders), whether based on contract or any Applicable Law (including tort, statute, local ordinance, regulation or any comparable law) in any jurisdiction; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.9 shall or be deemed to release any rights or obligations of any Released Party or Releasing Party (i) for indemnification or contribution, in any Releasing Party’s capacity as an officer or director of the Company or the Company’s Governing Documents; (ii) under any then-existing insurance policy of the Company; (iii) as to accrued but unpaid benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan; (iv) as to any obligations or agreements relating to the employment of the undersigned by the Company; or (v) for amounts owed pursuant to, or other rights set forth in, this Agreement and any Ancillary Document.

Section 7.10 Resignation of Officers. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the resignations of (i) all of the officers of the Company listed on Schedule 7.10 effective as of the Closing, and (ii) such other officers of the Company as Purchaser designates to the Company in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing, with all such resignations to become effective at the Closing, it being understood and agreed that, for purposes of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), in the case of any such officer, such resignation shall represent solely such Person’s resignation from his or her official officer capacity with the Company, and shall not otherwise affect such Person’s employment status with the Company, and shall not be deemed a breach or waiver by any such person of any rights under any employment or similar agreement to which such Person is a party.

Section 7.11 Non-Compete/Non-Solicit.

(a) Until the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date, none of the Key Employee Sellers shall, and each of the Key Employee Sellers shall cause their respective Affiliates and representatives not to, (i) engage, either directly or indirectly, for his or its own account or solely or jointly for the benefit of others, in any business which competes with the business of the Company (a “Competing Business”); (ii) solicit, directly or indirectly, any Competing Business from any Person other than to or for the benefit of Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser; (iii) invest, either directly or indirectly, in any Person engaged in any Competing Business; or (iv) divert, entice or otherwise take away from Purchaser the business or patronage of any client, or attempt to do so, in each case, it being understood that upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall be an Affiliate of Purchaser; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 7.11 shall be deemed to prevent any Key Employee Seller or any Affiliate thereof from owning less than two percent (2%) of a class of stock of a publicly-held corporation which is traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, so long as such Key Employee Seller or Affiliate, as applicable, with such ownership interest does not have any active participation in the business or management of such entity). For the avoidance of doubt, if after the Closing the Company engages in business in a new industry or industries (each an “Overlap Industry”) that Inventia is permitted to use the Grant-Back License to engage in, then the Company engaging in business in such Overlap Industry shall not be deemed to result in the Key Employee Sellers being in violation of this Section 7.11(a).

(b) Without the prior written consent of Purchaser, for a period of three (3) years following the Closing:

(i) none of the Key Employee Sellers shall, and each of the Key Employee Sellers shall cause their respective Affiliates and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, through any Person or contractual arrangement, solicit, recruit, employ or hire, directly or indirectly, any Person who at the time of the Closing is employed by or engaged to work for the Company or any of its Affiliates (“Company Employee”); provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (A) a general solicitation to the public of general advertising or similar methods of solicitation by search firms not specifically directed at Company Employees or (B) such Key Employee Sellers from soliciting, recruiting or hiring any Company Employee who has ceased to be employed, engaged or retained by the Company or any of its Affiliates for at least twelve (12) months; and

(ii) XxXxxxx shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, through any Person or contractual arrangement, solicit, recruit, employ or hire, directly or indirectly, any Person listed on Schedule 7.11(b)(ii) (each such employee, a “Specified Company Employee”); provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (A) a general solicitation to the public of general advertising or similar methods of solicitation by search firms not specifically directed at Specified Company Employees or (B) XxXxxxx from soliciting, recruiting or hiring any Specified Company Employee who has ceased to be employed, engaged or retained by the Company or any of its Affiliates for at least twelve (12) months.

(c) Due to the irreparable injury and damage to Purchaser resulting from any Key Employee Seller’s violation of this Section 7.11 (or XxXxxxx’ violation of Section 7.11(b)(ii)), Purchaser shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief against the violation or breach, or attempted violation or breach, by any Key Employee Seller of this Section 7.11 (or XxXxxxx’ violation of Section 7.11(b)(ii)) in addition to any remedy otherwise available to Purchaser, without the posting of any bond, and the Key Employee Sellers (or XxXxxxx with respect to Section 7.11(b)(ii)) shall not contest the availability of any such remedy. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall hold that the restrictions contained in this Section 7.11 are unreasonable, such restrictions shall be deemed to be reduced, but only to the extent necessary, in the opinion of said court, to make them reasonable.

Section 7.12 Confidentiality; Publicity.

(a) The Parties acknowledge that the Company and Purchaser have previously executed the Confidentiality Agreement, which will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and the provisions of which are by this reference incorporated herein.

(b) Without the consent of the Company, from and after the Closing, none of the Sellers or the Representative shall use or disclose to any Person, except as compelled by Applicable Law, any Confidential Information for any reason or purpose whatsoever, nor shall the Sellers or the Representative make use of any of the Confidential Information for his or its own purposes or for the benefit of any Person except for the Company and Purchaser and each of their respective Affiliates.

(c) From and after the date hereof, no press release or announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will be issued by the Company or the Sellers, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, without the prior consent of Purchaser or the Representative, as the case may be, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as such release or announcement may be required by Applicable Law. On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall issue a joint press release, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, Purchaser and the Representative.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.12 or in the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, any Seller or the Representative shall be entitled to use any Confidential Information to the extent he or it reasonably determines to be necessary in order to enforce or exercise his or its rights or to comply with his or its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents, or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the disclosure of such Confidential Information to his or its advisors or representatives (who agree in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential) in connection therewith; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall any Seller or the Representative publicly disclose any such Confidential Information and (ii) prior to including any such Confidential Information in a court filing, such Seller or the Representative shall (A) give Purchaser reasonable advance written notice of such action, (B) use his or its commercially reasonable efforts to have confidential treatment accorded to such information and (C) only disclose such Confidential Information in such court filing to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce or exercise his or its rights or to comply with his or its obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents.

Section 7.13 Waiver and Termination of Certain Agreements. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have delivered evidence satisfactory to Purchaser of the termination of all agreements set forth on Schedule 7.13, effective as of the Closing without any further action by the parties thereto or any further liability of the Company thereunder, except as required to effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the obligations hereunder.

Section 7.14 Financial Statements and Reports. From the date hereof to the Closing Date, the Company shall furnish to Purchaser as soon as available monthly unaudited balance sheets and monthly income statements of the Company (all to be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied except as specifically set forth on Schedule 7.14) showing its financial condition as of the close of such month and the results of operations during such month and for the elapsed portion of the Company’s fiscal year, in each case, setting forth comparative figures for the corresponding month in the prior fiscal year and the corresponding elapsed portion of the prior fiscal year.

Section 7.15 Further Assurances. From time to time following the Closing, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver such conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases, consents, documents and other instruments and papers, and perform such further acts as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions hereof and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including obtaining any Permits, consents, authorizations, approvals of, or effecting the notification of or filing with, each Person, whether private or governmental, whose consent or approval is required in order to permit the consummation of, and to give full effect to, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.16 Treatment of Company Employees.

(a) As soon as practicable following the Closing, and for a period of one (1) year following the Closing (or until any earlier termination of employment), Purchaser covenants and agrees that it shall, or shall cause the Company or another Subsidiary or Affiliate of Purchaser to, provide to (i) each Continuing Employee (as defined below) with an opportunity to earn aggregate compensation (including stock awards) that is substantially similar to the sum of such Continuing Employee’s aggregate compensation with the Company on the date hereof, with the allocation between base compensation and bonus opportunity to be determined by Purchaser, and (ii) employee benefits to Continuing Employees at levels and on terms that are, in the aggregate, substantially similar to those of Purchaser’s employees with substantially similar experience, positions and ability, in each case as determined in Purchaser’s good faith discretion. Employees of the Company who are actively employed by the Company immediately prior to the Closing who continue their employment with Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including the Company) immediately following the Closing Date are referred to herein as “Continuing Employees.” With respect to each benefit plan maintained by Purchaser in which any Continuing Employees will participate after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company or another Subsidiary or Affiliate of Purchaser to recognize all service of such Continuing Employees with the Company for purposes of eligibility and participation to the extent permitted by the terms of each benefit plan and, in the case of any benefit plan maintained by Purchaser that provides vacation benefits or any other form of paid time-off benefits (excluding severance benefits, if any), for purposes of benefit accrual (except to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits). To the extent Purchaser is permitted by Applicable Law and the terms of the applicable benefit plan, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company or another Subsidiary or Affiliate of Purchaser to, waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees under any benefit plan maintained by Purchaser that is a welfare benefit plan in which such employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing Date, other than limitations or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date under any welfare benefit plan maintained for such employees immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(b) This Section 7.16 shall not create upon any Company employee or any other individual any right to continued employment or service with Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or Affiliate (including the Company) or any obligation to establish or maintain any benefit plan for any length of time. After the Closing Date, nothing contained in this Section 7.16 shall interfere with the right of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any employee benefit plan, program or practice or terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee or other employee of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 7.16 is intended to or shall (i) confer any third party beneficiary rights upon the Continuing Employees or any other current or former employees, officers or directors of the Company (or any beneficiary or dependents thereof) or (ii) amend in any way the terms of any Employee Benefit Plan or other benefit plan.

Section 10.11 No Contribution.

Section 12.5 Construction; Interpretation. The term “this Agreement” means this Purchase Agreement together with all Schedules and Exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No party hereto, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (i) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedules and Exhibits, and not to any particular section, subsection paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (iii) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (iv) the words “include,” “includes,” “including” and “inclusive of” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (v) the word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning as the word “shall”; (vi) the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the extent or degree to which a subject or thing extends, and shall not simply be construed to mean the word “if”; and (vii) the term “or” shall not be exclusive.

Section 12.6 Exhibits and Schedules. All exhibits and Schedules or other documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement.

Section 12.7 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Article 10, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 12.8 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.

Section 12.9 Amendment.

Any agreement on the part of any party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.
