The Parties shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm, within forty (40) days after referral of the matter to such Independent Accounting Firm, to evaluate the appropriate amount of each line item in the Initial Settlement Statement as to which Seller Parent and Buyer disagree (as set out in the Updated Notice of Disagreement submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm), and to make a final determination in writing (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator), binding on the Parties, of the appropriate amount with respect to each such line item. In resolving each such dispute, the Independent Accounting Firm (i) shall make its determination based solely on the presentations and supporting material provided by the Seller Parent and the Buyer, in each case, to the Independent Accounting Firm and the other Party, and not pursuant to any independent review, (ii) the definitions and other applicable provisions of this Agreement and (iii) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either the Seller Parent or Buyer or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either the Seller Parent or Buyer.

A copy of all materials submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 3.05(c) shall

be provided by Seller Parent or Buyer, as applicable, to the other Party concurrently with the submission thereof to the Independent Accounting Firm. During such determination period, the Independent Accounting Firm also shall (i) prepare a statement of the Closing Amount based upon all line items not disputed or resolved by the Parties and the line items determined by the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with this Section 3.05(c) and (ii) determine the Closing Amount reflected on such statement, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement, which determination shall, absent a showing of fraud or manifest calculation error, be conclusive and binding on the Parties. The statement of Closing Amount that is conclusive and binding on the Parties, as determined through agreement of the Parties pursuant to 3.05(a) or 3.05(b), or through the action of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 3.05(c), is referred to as the “Final Settlement Statement”. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm by any court referred to in Section 13.12.

(d) Each of Seller Parent and Buyer shall bear all the fees and costs incurred by it in connection with the Independent Accounting Firm’s review, except that the fees and expenses relating to the foregoing work by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by Seller Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation will also be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and be included in the Independent Accounting Firm’s written report. During the review by the Independent Accounting Firm, Seller Parent and Buyer and their respective accountants and other Representatives will each make available to the Independent Accounting Firm interviews with such individuals, and such information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations under Section 3.05(c); provided, however, that the accountants of Seller Parent or Buyer shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Independent Accounting Firm except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after the Independent Accounting Firm has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

Section 3.06 Post-Closing Adjustment. For purposes of this Agreement, “Post-Closing Adjustment” means (a) the amount of Closing Amount set forth in the Final Settlement Statement less (b) the Estimated Closing Amount set forth in the Closing Notice. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive amount, then Buyer shall pay (or cause the Companies to pay) in cash to Seller Parent (for the benefit of the Sellers) the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment, in accordance with Section 3.07. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative amount, then Seller Parent shall (on behalf of and as agent for the account of the Sellers) pay in cash to Buyer the amount of the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment, in accordance with Section 3.07. Any payment made by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall constitute an increase in the Purchase Price and any payment made by the Seller Parties pursuant to Section 3.06 shall constitute a reduction of the Purchase Price. Such adjustment shall be further apportioned between the Canadian Company Purchase Price and the Delaware Newco Purchase Price based on which Company’s assets or Liabilities gave rise to such adjustment.

Section 3.07 Payments and Computations. Except for the payment of the Closing Payment (which shall be paid at the Closing), each Party shall make each payment due

to another Party not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due. All payments (including the Closing Payment) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in advance by the Party receiving such payment and, except as otherwise contemplated by Section 3.08, shall be free and clear of any withholding for Taxes. All computations of interest shall be made in accordance with Section 13.15.

Section 3.08 Tax Withholding. Buyer shall not deduct or withhold any Taxes from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement unless such deduction or withholding of Taxes is required under applicable Law (as reasonably determined by Buyer). In any case where withholding or deduction is required, Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Seller Parties at least seven (7) Business Days prior to withholding (or, if later, promptly after Buyer becomes aware of its obligation to withhold) any amount pursuant to this Section 3.08 (other than in respect of any payroll taxes), and the parties shall use reasonable efforts to reduce or avoid such withholding where possible; provided, that Buyer shall not be required to make any payment to any Person to obtain such result. The Seller Parties and Buyer shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities reasonably requested by the Seller Parties necessary for Buyer to obtain authorization to make payments under this Agreement without any withholding or deduction for or on account of Tax. In the event any applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payments, then Buyer or the Companies or the Escrow Agent (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Authority in accordance with applicable Law. If any such deduction or withholding is made, the amount so deducted or withheld shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been received by the Person in respect of which the deduction or withholding was made.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Cash Customer Overlap Contract, the Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to) cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to amend, modify or renegotiate any Cash Customer Overlap Contract such that (i) such contract is used solely in

connection with the business of the Seller Parties (other than the Business) and (ii) a Company enters into a substantially similar contract with the counterparty to such Cash Customer Overlap Contract with respect to the products and services provided by the Business under such Cash Customer Overlap Contract, provided, in each case, that no Party shall be required to make any payment to any Person to obtain such result.

(b) Until such time as all rights, title and interests in and to the Cash Customer Overlap Contracts have been amended, modified or renegotiated pursuant to Section 7.08(a), (x) the Seller Parties shall each use reasonable best efforts to provide Buyer and its Affiliates the maximum allowable use of the Cash Customer Overlap Contracts to the extent relating to the ownership, operation or conduct of the Business (which shall include, at a minimum, the economic benefits of such Cash Customer Overlap Contracts related to the Business), including by establishing an agency type or other similar arrangement reasonably satisfactory to Buyer under which Buyer (or its Affiliates) would obtain, to the fullest extent practicable, the claims, rights, interests and benefits and assume the corresponding Liabilities and obligations thereunder (to the extent such Liabilities and obligations would otherwise be Assumed Liabilities if such Cash Customer Overlap Contracts were Acquired Assets as of the Closing) from and after the Closing in accordance with this Agreement (including by means of any subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement) and (y) to the extent permitted by Law, the Seller Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to) exercise, enforce and exploit, only at the direction of and for the benefit of Buyer and its Affiliates, any and all claims, rights and benefits of such Person arising in connection with such Cash Customer Overlap Contracts. Except as expressly set forth in the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, during such period and without further consideration, (i) the Seller Parties will promptly pay, assign and remit to Buyer (or its designee) when received all monies and other consideration received by it under any (1) Cash Customer Overlap Contract to the extent relating to the ownership, operation or conduct of the Business, (2) Other Overlap Contract to the extent relating to the ownership, operation or conduct of the Business prior to Closing, or (3) claim, right or benefit arising thereunder not transferred pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) Buyer will promptly pay (or cause to be paid), perform or discharge when due any Assumed Liability arising thereunder after the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that, from time to time after the Closing, any Party identifies any asset related to the Business that should have been transferred to or retained by a Company but was not so transferred or retained, or any asset that should have been transferred to or retained by a Seller Party but was transferred or retained, the Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) use their reasonable best efforts to transfer such assets to the appropriate Parties and, if applicable such asset shall be deemed or no longer deemed to be an Acquired Asset hereunder.

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

Section 8.01 Employment of All Business Employees.

(a) Terms and Conditions of Employment. For a period of at least six (6) months following the Closing Date (or, if earlier, the date of termination of employment of the relevant employee), each Business Employee employed by any of the Companies on the Closing Date including any Business Employees on leave (“Continuing Employees”) shall be entitled to receive while in the employ of Buyer or any of the Companies reasonable and customary compensation and benefits as Buyer shall in its sole good faith discretion determine.

(b) Bonuses. As of the Closing Date, and solely to the extent applicable and solely to the extent accrued on the Final Settlement Statement, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Companies to, assume all obligations to each Continuing Employee pursuant to any incentive or bonus program covering such Continuing Employee in respect of the period from January 1, 2015 through the remainder of the 2015 calendar year. Consistent with Buyer’s obligations under this Section 8.01, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Companies to, pay the Continuing Employees incentive compensation on the same basis as in effect prior to the Closing Date for the applicable performance measurement period which includes the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the form of payment is not requirement to be in equity or equity-based.

(c) Except as specifically set forth in Section 8.01(c) of the Disclosure Letter, the Seller Parties shall assume and retain the sponsorship of and be solely responsible for all Liabilities relating to or arising under or in connection with any Employee Plan, any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, whether or not subject to ERISA), and any other compensation or benefit plan, program and policy maintained, sponsored or contributed to or required to be contributed to by any of the Seller Parties or any of their Affiliates (including any of the Companies) or under or with respect to which any of the Seller Parties or any of their Affiliates (including any of the Companies) has any Liabilities in any case with respect to periods at or prior to the Closing (it being agreed that all of the foregoing are Excluded Liabilities hereunder).

(d) Credit for Service. Buyer shall, or shall cause the Companies to credit Canadian Continuing Employees for service earned on and prior to the Closing Date with a Seller Party and any of their Affiliates (including the Companies), or any of their respective predecessors, in addition to service earned with Buyer and the Companies on or after the Closing Date, (i) using commercially reasonable efforts with respect to Continuing Employees whose principal place of business is in Canada (the “Canadian Continuing Employees”), to the extent that service is relevant for purposes of eligibility, vesting or the calculation of sick days or benefits (but not for purposes of defined benefit pension benefit accruals or for any purpose under any equity-based plan or arrangement) under any retirement or other employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of Buyer or any of the Companies (other than equity-based plan or arrangement) maintained for the benefit of the Canadian Continuing Employees on or after the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to any Continuing Employees for any purpose as may be

required by applicable Law; provided that nothing herein shall result in a duplication of benefits or compensation with respect to the Continuing Employees.

(e) Pre-existing Conditions; Coordination. Buyer shall, and shall cause the Companies to, use commercially reasonable efforts in the plan year in which the Closing occurs, waive limitations on benefits relating to any pre-existing conditions of the Continuing Employees and their eligible spouses and dependents under any health benefit plan established in the plan year in which the Closing occurs and in which the Continuing Employees are eligible to participate, to the extent such conditions were waived or satisfied under the corresponding Employee Plan prior to the Closing. Buyer shall, and shall cause the Companies to, use commercially reasonable efforts in the plan year in which the Closing occurs, recognize for purposes of annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits under their health plans applicable to Continuing Employees in the plan year in which the Closing occurs, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by Continuing Employees and their respective spouses and dependents under the Employee Plans that are health plans in the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(f) As of the Closing, the Seller Parties shall (i) cause all Canadian Continuing Employees to be fully vested in their account balances or accrued benefits under any defined contribution, defined benefit, or nonqualified deferred compensation retirement plans, and (ii) make to such plans all employer contributions that would have been made on behalf of the Canadian Continuing Employees who participate in such plans had the Transactions not occurred, regardless of any service or end of year employment requirements, but pro-rated for the portion of the plan year that ends on the Closing. As of the Closing, the Seller Parties shall make all employer contributions that are required to be made on behalf of any Continuing Employees whose principal place of business is in the United States under the terms of any defined contribution, defined benefit or nonqualified deferred compensation retirement plan.

(g) No Third Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Section 8.01 are solely for the benefit of the Parties, and no other Person (including any Business Employee, Continuing Employee or any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 8.01 shall create such rights in any such Person. Nothing in this Section 8.01 shall (i) be construed as an amendment to any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy or contract, (ii) limit the ability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, any of the Companies) from amending, modifying or terminating any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy or contract at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, (iii) guarantee employment or continued employment or any term or condition of employment of any Person (including any Business Employee or Continuing Employee) for any period, or (iv) restrict the right of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, any of the Companies) to terminate the employment of any Person (including any Business Employee or Continuing Employee) at any time and for any or no reason.

(h) Participation in Employee Plans. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, all Continuing Employees will cease, effective as of the Closing Date, any participation in and any benefit accrual under each of the Employee Plans. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 8.01(h), Continuing

Employees may continue after the Closing Date to participate in accordance with, and subject to, their eligibility under the terms of the applicable Employee Plans as in effect from time to time as follows:

(i) Continuing Employees may continue participation under the Employee Plans that provide health, disability, severance, worker’s compensation, life insurance or similar benefits with respect to claims incurred by the Continuing Employees and their eligible spouses, dependents or qualified beneficiaries, as applicable, prior to the Closing, or as provided in the Transition Services Agreement; and

(j) Continuing Employees shall continue participation under the Employee Plans that are pension plans with respect to vested, accrued benefits as of the Closing Date.

Section 8.02 Cooperation and Assistance.

(a) Mutual Cooperation by Seller and Buyer. After the Closing Date, the Sellers and Buyer shall, and each shall cause their Affiliates to, cooperate with the other party and its Affiliates to provide such current information regarding the Continuing Employees on an ongoing basis as may be necessary to facilitate determinations of eligibility for, and payments of benefits to, such employees (and their spouses and dependents, as applicable) under the Sellers’ plans or Buyer plans, as applicable.

(b) Claims Assistance. At Seller Parent’s expense, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, permit Continuing Employees to provide such assistance to Seller and its Affiliates as may be required in respect of claims against Seller or its Affiliates, whether asserted or threatened, to the extent that, in Seller’s opinion, (i) a Continuing Employee has knowledge of relevant facts or issues, or (ii) a Continuing Employee’s assistance is reasonably necessary in respect of any such claim, subject to such assistance not interfering with the normal conduct or operation of the Business or any Company.

Section 9.02 Filing of Tax Returns by Buyer.

(a) Except for the Tax Returns described in Section 9.01(a), Buyer shall timely prepare and file (or cause to be timely prepared and filed) all Tax Returns of each Company. If such Tax Returns reflect any Taxes for which indemnification may be claimed from Seller Parent pursuant to Article XII then: (A) Buyer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) such Tax Returns in accordance with past practices of the Business to the extent consistent with a “more likely than not” (or stronger) position, (B) completed drafts of such Tax Returns, and, in the case of any Tax Return for a Straddle Period, a pro forma Tax Return for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, shall be submitted to Seller Parent for Seller Parent’s review not later than thirty (30) days before the due date for filing such Tax Returns (or, if such due date is within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date), (C) Seller Parent shall have the right, acting reasonably, to review each such Tax Return delivered to it before the filing thereof, and (D) Buyer shall make any changes to such Tax Returns reasonably requested by Seller Parent in writing not later than ten (10) days before the due date for filing such Tax Returns.

(b) With respect to any income Tax Return prepared by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.02(a) that is required to be filed by or with respect to the Companies for any Tax year or period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, unless otherwise required by applicable Law and to the extent applicable to such Tax Return (i) such Tax Returns for the Companies shall reflect any income of the Companies for all periods through the Closing Date (including any income from the Reorganization), (ii) to the extent that such Tax Return shows a net operating loss of any Companies, such net operating loss shall be carried back to previous Tax periods to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and (iii) with respect to the Tax Return for Canadian Company for the Tax year that ends as a result of the Closing of the sale and purchase of the Company Equity Interests, the Parties agree that the election referred to in subsection 256(9) of the Tax Act (and comparable provisions of applicable provincial or territorial legislation) will be made such that the tax year of the Canadian Company shall terminate immediately before the time of the Closing on the Closing Date.

(c) Except as required by applicable Law or in connection with a “final determination” under Section 1313 of the Code, neither Buyer nor any Affiliate of Buyer shall (or shall cause or permit any Companies to) amend or refile any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to any Companies (or a group the parent of which is any Companies) with respect to any taxable year or period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date (or with respect to any Straddle Period) without the prior written consent of Seller Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 9.03 Straddle Periods. For all purposes under this Agreement, in the case of any Tax period of the Companies that includes but does not end on the Closing Date (in each case, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of Taxes (or any Tax refund and amount credited against any Tax) that are allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending at the end of the Closing Date will be determined (i) in the case of Taxes that (x) are based upon or related to income or receipts, (y) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property, or (z) are attributable to the ownership of any equity interest in a partnership or other “flowthrough” entity, the amount that would be payable if the taxable year (or the Tax period of the applicable entity) terminated at the end of the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of Taxes not described in the foregoing subclause (including Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real property Taxes)), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.

Section 9.04 Tax Proceedings.

Any pending or threatened audit, claim, demand or administrative or judicial proceeding (a “Tax Claim”)

(a) that (A) relates to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date or (B) could reasonably be expected to result in any Tax Liability with respect to

which Seller Parent has agreed to provide indemnification under this Agreement shall be subject to the procedural principals of Section 12.04.

Section 9.05 Refunds. Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Seller Parent any Tax refunds that are received by the Companies (or Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer on its behalf), and any amounts credited against Tax to which the Companies (or Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer) become entitled, that relate to Tax periods (or portions of a Straddle Period) ending on or before the Closing Date or that are for Taxes for which Seller Parent has previously indemnified Buyer (in each case, including any interest paid thereon and net of any Taxes incurred in respect of the receipt or accrual of the refund or credit and any expenses of Buyer or its Affiliates in obtaining such refund or credit), excluding any refund or credit (i) attributable to any loss in a tax year (or portion of a Straddle Period) beginning after the Closing Date applied (e.g., as a carryback) to income in a tax year (or portion of a Straddle Period) ending on or before the Closing Date or (ii) taken into account in determining the Post-Closing Adjustment. Upon Seller Parent’s reasonable request (and at Seller Parent’s expense), Buyer shall file (or cause to be filed) all Tax Returns (including amended Tax Returns) or other documents claiming any refunds, including through the carryback of any net operating losses that are attributable to a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, to which Seller Parent is entitled pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Any payments required to be made under this Section 9.05 shall be made in immediately available funds, to an account or accounts as directed by Seller Parent, within five (5) days of the receipt of the refund or the application of any such refunds as a credit against Tax for which Seller Parent has not otherwise agreed to provide indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 9.06 Post-Closing Actions. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to (a) take any action that could create a Tax Liability for which Seller Parent would be required to indemnify Buyer under this Agreement, on the Closing Date after the Closing that is outside the ordinary course of business (other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement), or (b) except upon Seller Parent’s request pursuant to Section 9.05 or pursuant to Section 9.01(b), carryback any net operating losses to a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date. Seller Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, make an election under Section 336(e) of the Code with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer and Seller Parent agree to report all transactions by the Buyer or the Companies occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing that are outside the ordinary course of business on Buyer’s federal income Tax Return to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B).

Section 9.07 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller Parent (on behalf of the Sellers) and Buyer shall each be responsible for 50 percent of any and all Transfer Taxes imposed or arising with respect to the Transactions; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller Parent shall be solely responsible for any Transfer Taxes arising with respect to the Reorganization. The Party required by Law to file a Tax Return with respect to Transfer Taxes shall timely prepare, with the other Party’s cooperation, and file such Tax Return and timely pay the amount of tax shown due thereon. If Buyer or any of its Affiliates files any such Tax Return or otherwise pays any such Transfer Taxes, Seller Parent (on behalf of Sellers) shall promptly reimburse Buyer for 50 percent of any Transfer Taxes paid by Buyer or its Affiliates. If Seller or any of its Affiliates files any such Tax

Return or otherwise pays any such Transfer Taxes, Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for 50 percent of any Transfer Taxes paid by Buyer or its Affiliates. Buyer and Seller Parent each agrees to timely sign and deliver (or to cause to be timely signed and delivered) such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate and otherwise to cooperate to establish any available exemption from (or otherwise reduce) such Transfer Taxes.

Section 9.08 Tax Sharing Agreements. To the extent relating to the Companies, Seller Parent shall terminate (or cause to be terminated) on or before the Closing Date all Tax sharing agreements or arrangements (other than this Agreement) among the Companies, on the one hand, and any Seller Party or any Affiliate of any Seller Party (other than the Companies), on the other hand, and neither any Seller Party nor any Affiliate of any Seller Party, on the one hand, or the Companies, on the other hand, will have any Liability or entitlement to any right thereunder to each other on or after the Closing Date.

Section 9.09 Tax Cooperation. Without limiting the obligations set forth in Sections 6.01(a)(vi) and 7.01, the Parties shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Companies or their assets or businesses (including access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any audit, proposed adjustment or deficiency, assessment, claim, suit or other proceeding relating to any Taxes or Tax Return. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding related to Taxes and all other Tax matters relating to the Companies or their assets or businesses and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Article IX. Buyer agrees that it shall preserve and keep, or cause to be preserved and kept, all original books and records in respect of the Business relating to any Taxes with respect to taxable years or periods (in whole or in part) ending on or before the Closing Date and in the possession of Buyer or its Affiliates in accordance with Section 7.03.

Section 9.10 Allocation. The Canadian Company Purchase Price (as finally determined) and the Liabilities (and other relevant items for United States federal income Tax purposes) of the Canadian Company shall be allocated among the assets of the Canadian Company in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and Treasury regulations thereunder, and any analogous provisions of state or local law as appropriate (the “Allocation”). A draft of the Allocation shall be prepared by Buyer and delivered to Seller Parent not less than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Closing Date. If the Seller Parent notifies Buyer in writing that the Seller Parent objects to one or more items reflected on the Allocation, Seller Parent and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. Neither Buyer nor Seller Parent shall unreasonably withhold its approval and consent with respect to such Allocation. Once Seller Parent and Buyer agree on the Allocation, and all disputes related to the Allocation, if any, are resolved pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Seller Parent, the Companies and Buyer shall thereafter file, update and amend all income tax forms and returns (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in accordance with such Allocation (as adjusted) and shall not take any position inconsistent with such Allocation on any Tax Return, before any Taxing Authority or in any judicial proceeding, unless otherwise required by a final determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code. Buyer and Seller Parent agree that such Allocation shall

be amended, as appropriate to reflect any post-Closing adjustments to the Canadian Company Purchase Price or other relevant items pursuant to this Agreement. Any such amendment shall be made in a manner consistent with past preparation of the Allocation. If Buyer and Seller Parent do not reach a written agreement as to the Allocation prior to the 150th day after the Closing Date or, with respect to any revision of the Allocation, within thirty (30) days, then either Buyer or Seller Parent may by notice to the other submit to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution, in accordance with the procedural principles of Sections 3.05(c) and 3.05(d) hereof (including as to fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm), of the portions of the Allocation in dispute.

Section 9.11 Reorganization. The Parties (i) agree that the Reorganization is intended to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as follows: (A) the contribution of Investment Research to Delaware NewCo and the subsequent conversion of Investment Research to a limited liability company together (Step 2 and Step 3 of the Reorganization as depicted in Exhibit E) is intended to qualify as a reorganization described under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, and (B) the distribution of Investment Research from Delaware NewCo to Solutions Network (Step 5 of the Reorganization as depicted in Exhibit E) is intended to constitute a distribution described under Section 301 of the Code, (ii) agree that the acquisition of the Canadian Company shall be treated as an acquisition of the assets of the Canadian Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (iii) shall file all U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax Returns in a manner consistent therewith.

Section 9.12 Survival. The indemnity and payment obligations set forth in this Article IX and Section 12.02(a)(iii) with respect to Taxes (and the representations contained in Section 4.14) shall survive until the date that is thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

Section 9.13 Certain Tax Benefits. The Seller Parties shall be entitled to any Tax Benefit resulting from any Tax Item arising in respect of any Covered Bonus Amount on or before December 31, 2016, and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall claim any such Tax Item on any Tax Return for a Post-Closing Period except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.13. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any Tax Item arising in respect of any Covered Bonus Amount shall be reflected on a Tax Return of the Seller Parties (and/or the Companies, as appropriate) for the last taxable period of such entity ending on or before the Closing Date. If any Tax Item arising in respect of any Covered Bonus Amount is not permitted to be claimed on the income Tax Return of the Seller Parties (and/or the Companies, as appropriate) for the last taxable period of such entity ending on or before the Closing Date, and such Tax Item is permitted to be claimed on a Tax Return of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Companies after the Closing) for a Straddle Period or a Post-Closing Period, then Buyer shall claim such Tax Item and pay to the Seller Parties the amount of any Tax Benefit actually realized by Buyer or any of its Affiliates resulting from such Tax Item, net of any expenses incurred by Buyer incurred in realizing such Tax Benefit (to the extent such expense is not already taken into account in determining such Tax Benefit). To the extent a Tax Benefit paid to the Seller Parties is subsequently disallowed or otherwise required to be returned to the applicable Taxing Authority, the Seller Parties agree to repay such amount, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Taxing Authority, to Buyer. For purposes of this

Section 9.13, a tax position shall be treated as “permitted” only to the extent such position is consistent with a “more likely than not” (or stronger) position.

(a) by the mutual written consent of each of Seller Parent and Buyer;

(b) by Seller Parent, if Buyer shall have breached any representation or warranty or failed to comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to Buyer that individually or in the aggregate with all other such breaches or failures to comply would, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, cause any Closing Condition set forth in

Section 10.01(a) not to be satisfied, and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days following written notice to Buyer or is incapable of being cured by the Outside Date; provided, however, that the Seller Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.01(b) if any of the Seller Parties are then in material breach of this Agreement;

(c) by Buyer, if any of the Seller Parties shall have breached any representation or warranty or failed to comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to any such Seller Party that individually or in the aggregate with all other such breaches or failures to comply would, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, cause any Closing Condition set forth in Section 10.02(a) not to be satisfied, and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days following written notice to the Seller Parent or is incapable of being cured by the Outside Date; provided, however, that the Buyer may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.01(c) if Buyer is then in material breach of this Agreement;

(d) by either Seller Parent or Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred by March 31, 2015 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(d) shall not be available to a Party whose failure to take any action required under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur before such date; or

(e) by either Seller Parent or Buyer in the event of the issuance of a final, nonappealable Order permanently restraining or prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions; provided, that the Party seeking termination pursuant to this Section 11.01(e) has not failed to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 6.04, which such failure shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, such issuance, Order or denial, and is otherwise not then in material breach of this Agreement).

Section 11.02 Notice of Termination. A Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01 shall give written notice of such termination to the other Parties.

Section 11.03 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.01, this Agreement shall thereupon become null and void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of (a) Section 6.03, (b) Section 6.09(e), (c) Section 11.01 and this Section 11.03 and (d) Article XIII. Nothing in this Section 11.03 shall be deemed to release any Party from any Liability for Fraud on behalf of it and/or its Affiliates or Representatives or any pre-termination breach by such Party of any covenant of this Agreement or impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its post-termination obligations, if any, under this Agreement; provided, however, except in the event of Fraud, that, if this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to this Article XI, no Party shall have any remedy or right to recover for any Liabilities resulting from any such breach unless such breach was a knowing and intentional breach on the part of the breaching party; provided, further, that a failure of Buyer to consummate the Transactions in breach or violation of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a knowing and intentional breach or violation, whether or not Buyer had sufficient funds available. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, prior to the Closing and the consummation of the Transactions contemplated to occur at the Closing (after which time, for the avoidance of doubt, Article IX

and Article XII shall control with respect to the Liability of the Parties), and without limiting the rights of the Seller Parties in Section 13.14 or their rights to cause Buyer to specifically enforce the Equity Commitment Letter, in no event shall the aggregate Liability of Buyer in respect of any or all breaches of this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Limited Guaranty exceed the Maximum Amount (as defined in the Limited Guarantee). Each Seller Party acknowledges that the limitations contained in this Section 11.03 are an integral part of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Buyer would not enter this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII

Section 12.04 Notification of Claims.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the Party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, after receiving written notice, or otherwise becoming actually aware, of any Losses or any pending or threatened claim, demand, Action or circumstance that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim, demand, Action or circumstance; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from (or otherwise affect) any of its obligations under this Article XII except

to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure, it being understood and agreed that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered at or before the expiration of any applicable survival period, if any, specified in Section 12.01 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 12.04(a) with respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume (at its sole cost and expense) the defense and control of any Third Party Claim by delivering written notice to the applicable Indemnified Parties in a timely manner (and in no event more than thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice) and, if the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such claim, it shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume or control the investigation, defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim if (i) substantially all of the Losses associated with such Third Party Claim are not reasonably expected to be indemnifiable hereunder (including in the event the amount in dispute is reasonably likely to exceed the maximum amount for which the Indemnifying Party can then be liable pursuant to this Article XII in light of the limitations contained herein), (ii) at the time of assumption and thereafter, the Indemnifying Party fails to demonstrate its ability to conduct the investigation, defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim actively and diligently, (iii) such claim seeks and has a more than remote likelihood of obtaining any material non-monetary, equitable or injunctive relief or involves any violation of criminal Law asserted by a Government Authority, (iv) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Third Party Claim and joint representation would be inappropriate due to conflict of interest or because the Indemnified Party has claims or defenses that are available to the Indemnified Party and unavailable to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall undertake to defend any such Third-Party Claim, it shall (i) indemnify and advance fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party and keep the Indemnified Party indemnified, on demand against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of such election and (ii) timely notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so in accordance with this Section 12.04(b). The Person that shall control the defense of any such Third Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence after consultation with the Indemnified Party and shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the diligent defense or, to the extent permitted hereunder, settlement of such Third Party Claim.

(c) The Seller Parties or Buyer, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate fully with the Controlling Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be authorized to settle, compromise or discharge, or consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from or with respect to, any Third Party Claim without the consent of any Indemnified Party, unless the terms of such settlement, compromise, discharge or judgment, as applicable, (i) do not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party and consists solely of monetary damages for which the Indemnified Parties are entitled to full indemnification under this Agreement as Losses arising from such Third Party Claim and for which the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay (and pays) all Losses and other amounts arising out of such settlement, judgment, compromise or discharge concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement, judgment, compromise, or discharge, (ii) do not impose on any Indemnified Party or

its Affiliates any continuing obligation regarding the Third Party Claim, (iii) include, as a condition thereto, a complete, unconditional and irrevocable release of the Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates from all Liability with respect to such claim given by each claimant or plaintiff to such claim, and (iv) do not contain a finding or admission of any wrongdoing or violation of applicable Law or violation or acknowledgment of any rights of any Person by any Indemnified Party). Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no Party or its Affiliates shall settle or consent to the entry of any judgment without the prior approval of the Seller Parent and the Buyer. Unless and until the Indemnifying Party assumes (and actually conducts)the defense of any such Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party reasonably deems appropriate at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, subject to any limitations set forth in this Article XII regarding the Indemnifying Party’s obligations in respect of Losses, settlements, judgments, compromises or discharges.

Section 12.05 Exclusive Remedies. Except (a) as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, including Section 3.05 and Article IX, (b) with respect to matters for which the remedy of specific performance, injunctive relief or other non-monetary equitable remedies are available, or (c) in the case of Fraud, from and after the Closing the provisions of this Article XII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of any Seller Indemnified Party and any Buyer Indemnified Party, respectively, and any of their Affiliates, representatives and agents, for any Losses (including any Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that it may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with, any breach of or inaccuracy with respect to any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement by Buyer or the Seller Parties, respectively, or any breach or failure by Buyer or the Seller Parties, respectively, to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except in the event of Fraud, from and after the Closing the Parties hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.

Section 12.06 Additional Indemnification Provisions.

waived) due to any knowledge (constructive or otherwise) of, or investigation or other examination made by or on behalf of, such Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates or Representatives) or by reason of the fact that such party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of such Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Article X; and (iv) for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, or the amount of any Loss related to any such breach or inaccuracy, for purposes of Section 12.02(a)(i) or Section 12.03(a)(i), the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.06(a) (Financial Statements), Section 4.07(b) (No Material Adverse Effect), Section 4.13(a) (Employment and Employee Benefit Matters), Section 4.19 (Insurance) and the definition of “Material Lien” shall be considered without giving effect to any materiality (including the terms “material”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar term) limitation or qualification.

(b) If an Indemnifying Party makes any payment for any Losses suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses and with respect to the claim giving rise to such Losses.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, from and after Closing, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Business and the Companies) shall have no Liability to the Seller Parties or their Affiliates in respect of, and none of the Seller Parties and its Affiliates shall have (and the Seller Parties (on behalf of itself and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, their Affiliates), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, waives and agrees not to assert) any right (whether at Law or in equity, based in contract, contribution, tort or otherwise) against, or recourse to, Buyer or its Affiliates, the Business, the Companies, or their respective assets (including the Acquired Assets) in respect of, any breach of any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement resulting from any act or omission taken by any Company, the Business or any Representative thereof (unless undertaken at the request of Buyer), or by the Seller Parties or any of their Affiliates in respect of the Business, the Companies or their respective assets (including the Acquired Assets), in each case, occurring at or prior to the Closing.

(d) Subject to Section 12.06(a)(i), the provisions of this Article XII are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have from any Person that is not an Affiliate of ITG Parent, whether by contract or otherwise.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Party have any Liability under any Transaction Agreement (including under this Article XII) for any special or punitive damages; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this sentence shall not apply to any damages to the extent awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with a third party claim or any claim of Fraud.

No Party nor any Affiliate or Representative of any Party shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or public announcement or statement or otherwise communicate with any news media or Person in respect of the Transaction Agreements or the Transactions without first consulting with and obtaining the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent (other than with respect to matters directly or indirectly related to price) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except to the extent that such Party is required, based on advice of counsel, by applicable Law or by applicable rules of any national stock exchange on which such Party or its Affiliates lists or trades securities (in which case the disclosing Party will, unless prohibited by applicable Law, (a) advise the other Party before making such disclosure and (b) provide such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such release or announcement or statement in advance of such disclosure and consider in good faith any comments with respect thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Party may (i) make internal announcements to its employees (other than with respect to price) that are consistent with such Party’s prior disclosures regarding the Transaction Agreements or the Transaction previously made in accordance with this Section 13.04, (ii) provide ordinary course communications for financial reporting purposes to the extent required by applicable Law and (iii) regarding this Agreement and the Transactions to existing (or, in the case of Buyer and its Affiliates, prospective) equity holders (including, in the case of Buyer and its Affiliates, general and limited partners and members), directors (or equivalent) and investors of any Affiliates of such Person, in each case, in connection with fund raising, marketing information or reporting activities of the kind customarily provided with respect to investments of this kind, but in each case the disclosing Person shall instruct the recipient of such information to treat such information as strictly confidential.

Section 13.05 Severability. If any term or provision hereof is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or as a matter of public policy, the validity, legality and enforceability of all other terms and provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other Government Authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision.

Section 13.06 Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. No Party may assign (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) this Agreement or any rights, interests or obligations provided by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that (a) any Party may assign (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) this Agreement and any or all rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates (for so long as such Persons remain Affiliates) upon prior written notice to the other Parties, and (b) Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to (i) its sources of financing as collateral security or (ii) in connection with any disposition or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Companies in any form of transaction; provided, further, that no such assignment shall release any Party from any Liability under this Agreement.

Section 13.07 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and, except with respect to Buyer Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Article XII, or as expressly set forth in the applicable Transaction Agreement, nothing in the Transaction Agreements shall create or be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person not a party to the Transaction Agreements, including any Affiliates of any party.

Section 13.08 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Seller Disclosure Letter) and the other Transaction Agreements (and all exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto) collectively constitute and contain the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior negotiations, correspondence, understandings, agreements and contracts, whether written or oral, among the Parties respecting the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 13.09 Amendments. The Transaction Agreements (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) may only be amended, restated supplemented or otherwise modified by written agreement making specific reference to the applicable Transaction Agreement to be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, in each case duly executed by each party to such Transaction Agreement. No Consent from any Indemnified Party under Article XII (in each case other than the Parties) shall be required to amend this Agreement.

Section 13.10 Waiver. At any time before the Closing, either Seller or Buyer may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other acts of the other Party, (b) waive any breaches or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (c) waive compliance with any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement but such waiver of compliance with any such covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. Any such waiver shall be in a written instrument duly executed by the waiving Party. No failure on the part of either Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under any Transaction Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 13.11 Governing Law. The Transaction Agreements, and any Action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate or be incidental to any Transaction, any Transaction Agreement, the negotiation, execution, performance or consummation thereof or the inducement of any Party to enter therein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise, and whether now existing or hereafter arising (each, a “Transaction Dispute”), shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any Law or rule that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York to be applied.

Section 13.12 Dispute Resolution; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Any Transaction Dispute shall exclusively be brought and resolved in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (where federal jurisdiction exists) or the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the County of New York (where federal jurisdiction does not exist), and the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts. In that context, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i) submits for itself and its property to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts with respect to any Transaction Dispute (other than for recognition and enforcement of any judgment resulting from any Transaction Dispute) and agrees that all claims in respect of any Transaction Dispute (other than any or recognition or enforcement Action) shall be exclusively heard and determined in such courts;

(ii) agrees that venue would be proper in such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have that any such court is an improper or inconvenient forum for the resolution of any Transaction Dispute; and

(iii) agrees that the mailing by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Persons listed in Section 13.03 of any process required by any such court, will be effective service of process; provided, however, that nothing herein will be deemed to prevent a Party from making service of process by any means authorized by the Laws of the State of New York.

(b) The foregoing consent to jurisdiction shall not constitute submission to jurisdiction or general consent to service of process in the State of New York for any purpose except with respect to any Transaction Dispute.

Section 13.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right to trial by jury in any forum in respect of any Transaction Dispute and covenants that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will assert (whether as plaintiff, defendant or otherwise) any right to such trial by jury. Each Party certifies and acknowledges that (a) such Party has considered the implications of this waiver, (b) such Party makes this waiver voluntarily and (c) such waiver constitutes a material inducement upon which such Party is relying and will rely in entering into the Transaction Agreements. Each Party may file an original counterpart or

a copy of this Section 13.13 with any court as written evidence of the consent of each Party to the waiver of its right to trial by jury.

Section 13.14 Remedies; Specific Performance.

(a) Except to the extent set forth otherwise in this Agreement (including in Section 12.05), all remedies under this Agreement expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) Each Party agrees that irreparable damage may occur and the Parties would not have an adequate remedy at Law if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Party will be entitled to injunctive relief from time to time to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in each case (i) without the requirement of posting any bond or other indemnity, and (ii) in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. Furthermore, each Party agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement, and to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such Party under this Agreement.

Section 13.15 Interest. If any payment required to be made to a Party under this Agreement is made after the date on which such payment is due, interest shall accrue on such amount from (but not including) the due date of the payment to (and including) the date such payment is actually made at the Interest Rate. All computations of interest pursuant to this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days, in each case for the actual number of days from (but not including) the first day to (and including) the last day occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

Section 13.16 Disclosure Letters and Exhibits. The Seller Disclosure Letter, Buyer Disclosure Letter, Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Exhibit or Schedule or in the Seller Disclosure Letter or Buyer Disclosure Letter but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement. The representations and warranties of the Seller Parties or Buyer set forth in this Agreement are made and given subject to the disclosures contained in the correspondingly numbered section or clause of the Seller Disclosure Letter or Buyer Disclosure Letter, as applicable, and neither the Seller Parties nor any of their Affiliates, nor Buyer nor any of its Affiliates, as applicable, shall be, or deemed to be, in breach of any such representations and warranties (and no claim shall lie in respect thereof) in respect of any such matter so disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Letter or Buyer Disclosure Letter, as applicable. Inclusion of information in the Seller Disclosure Letter shall not be construed as an admission that such information is material to the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Business. Each Section or clause of the Seller Disclosure Letter or Buyer Disclosure Letter (other than any section or clause intended to in any manner qualify any of the Seller

Fundamental Representations or the representations and warranties in Section 4.07(b), Section 4.09(b), Section 4.14 and Section 4.17) shall be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other Section or clause of the Seller Disclosure Letter or Buyer Disclosure Letter, as applicable, to the extent it is reasonably apparent based on the text of such disclosure that the disclosure in such other Section or clause of the Seller Disclosure Letter or Buyer Disclosure Letter is applicable to such Section or clause of the Seller Disclosure Letter or Buyer Disclosure Letter. The Seller Parties and Buyer expressly do not waive any attorney-client privilege associated with information disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Letter or Buyer Disclosure Letter, as applicable, or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed herein.

Section 13.17 Counterparts. Each Transaction Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimiles, e-mail transmission of .pdf signatures or other electronic copies of signatures shall be deemed to be originals.

Section 13.18 Non-Recourse. Other than with respect to Retained Claims, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except to the extent a named Party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named Party in this Agreement and not otherwise), no financing source of the Buyer or any past, present or future director, officer, stockholder, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, representative, agent or attorney of any Party to this Agreement, shall have any Liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or Liabilities of any Party under this Agreement (whether for indemnification or otherwise) of or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transactions, except for claims that the Seller Parties may assert: (i) against any Person that is party to, and solely pursuant to the terms of, confidentiality agreements with Seller Parent; (ii) against the parties to the Limited Guarantee (and their legal successors and assigns of their obligations thereunder) under, in accordance with and subject to the terms of, the Limited Guarantee; (iii) against Buyer to cause Buyer to obtain specific performance against Investor under the Equity Commitment Letter to fund Investor’s commitment thereunder in accordance with and subject to the terms thereof and Section 13.14; and (iv) against the Buyer in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the claims described in clauses (i) through (iv) collectively, the “Retained Claims”).

Section 13.19 Section Privilege. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the Seller Parties and their Affiliates (other than the Companies) shall retain all rights and interests in and under (A) all attorney-client privilege and attorney work-product protection of the Seller Parties, the Companies and their respective Affiliates or associated with the Business as a result of legal counsel representing the Seller Parties, the Companies or their respective Affiliates or the Business in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, (B) all documents and records subject to the attorney-client privilege or work-product protection described in the foregoing clause (A) above and (C) all documents and

records maintained by the Seller Parties, the Companies or their respective Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. Buyer hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Companies) to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with such legal counsel representing the Seller Parties or its Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Agreements.
