SECTION 2.02. Non-Assignable Assets.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to contribute, convey, assign, transfer or deliver to, or to have assumed by, any of the Purchaser, the Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries, any Business Assets or Assumed Liabilities other than in respect of a Shared Contract, or any claim, right, benefit or obligation arising thereunder or resulting therefrom (each, a “Non-Assigned Asset”), if an attempted contribution, conveyance, assignment, transfer, delivery or assumption thereof, or an agreement to do any of the foregoing, without the consent of a third party (including (i) any Governmental Authority and (ii) any landlord under any applicable Real Property Lease (a “Landlord Consent”)), would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or a violation of Law or would in any way require the payment of fees or additional amounts thereunder or materially and adversely affect the rights of the Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries (as assignee or transferee of the applicable transferor, or otherwise) thereto or thereunder, unless and until such consent is obtained or such payment requirements are waived. Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consent necessary (including any Landlord Consent with respect to the assignment of any Real Property Lease) for the contribution, conveyance, assignment, transfer, delivery or assumption of any such Non-Assigned Asset to the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof. If, as of the Closing, any such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted contribution, conveyance, assignment, transfer, delivery or assumption thereof would be ineffective or a violation of Law or would require the payment of fees or additional amounts thereunder or materially and adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, as applicable, thereto or thereunder so the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, as applicable, would not in fact receive all such rights or assume such obligations, then, Sellers and the Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall (A) for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to obtain such consents or waivers, as applicable, as promptly as practicable and (B) until the earlier of (1) transfer or assignment of such Non-Assigned Asset to the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, or (2) twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, cooperate in good faith to implement a mutually agreeable arrangement under which the Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, would, in compliance with Law and applicable third party Contracts, obtain the benefits (including contractual rights) and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with such Non-Assigned Asset in accordance with this Agreement (in each case solely to the extent any such obligations and economic burdens constitute Assumed Liabilities), including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, as applicable, or under which the applicable transferors would enforce for the benefit of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, as applicable, any and all of their rights against a third party (including any Governmental Authority) associated with such Non-Assigned Asset, and the applicable transferor would promptly pay to the Companies or their Subsidiaries, as applicable, when received all

-30-

monies received by them (net of any applicable Taxes) under any such Non-Assigned Asset. Any costs and expenses arising out of or related to the transactions described in this Section 2.02(a), including, for the avoidance of doubt, in relation to seeking or obtaining any necessary third party consents before or after the Closing, or any special arrangements between Sellers and the Companies after the Closing, shall be paid in full by, and be the sole obligation of the Purchaser.

(b) In the event that the Closing proceeds without the sale, assignment, sublease, sublicense, transfer, conveyance or delivery of a Non-Assigned Asset that is a Shared Contract and the Parties have not entered into an arrangement to formally divide, modify or replicate such Shared Contract as contemplated by Section 6.03(b) prior to such time, Sellers and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable, commercially reasonable and lawful arrangement under which Purchaser or its designated Affiliate shall obtain, for up to the expiration of a single renewal term beyond the then current term or earlier termination of such Shared Contract, the economic claims, rights and benefits of the Business Portion of such Shared Contract. Such arrangement may include subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to Purchaser or its designated Affiliate of any and all rights of Sellers or its applicable Affiliate under the Business Portion of such Shared Contract to the extent not prohibited, consented to or waived under such Shared Contract, or Sellers or its designated Affiliate acting as reseller on behalf of Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate. To the extent Purchaser or its designated Affiliate receives the economic claims, rights and benefits under the Business Portion of such Shared Contract, Purchaser or its designated Affiliate shall be responsible for the Assumed Liabilities, if any, arising under the Business Portion of such Shared Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, the expiration or termination of any right of Purchaser or Sellers under any Shared Contract shall in no way limit any of the obligations of either Party under the Transition Services Agreement.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, no failure to transfer any Non-Assigned Asset to the Companies, shall in and of itself, but subject to compliance with Section 2.02(a), result in (x) any adjustment to the Purchase Price, (y) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement, or (z) any failure of a closing condition contained in this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03. Purchaser Purchase of Company Units. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing and immediately after completion of the transactions contemplated by Section 2.01(c), Section 2.01(d) and Section 2.01(e), the Purchaser shall purchase from Sellers, and Sellers shall sell to the Purchaser all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each of the Companies (the “Company Units”) in exchange for the Purchase Price (the “Purchase and Sale”).

SECTION 2.04. Company Unit Deliverables. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Sellers shall cause each Company to record the transfer of its Company Units free and clear of all Liens (except for Liens arising under applicable securities Laws), and admit the Purchaser as a member of such Company.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, and concurrently with the transactions described in Section 2.01 and Section 2.03, Sellers, the Companies and the Purchaser shall enter into each of the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable.

SECTION 2.06. Closing. The closing of the Purchase and Sale contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall take place by means of a virtual closing remotely via teleconference and through the electronic exchange of signatures at 8:59 a.m. (New York City time) on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions at the Closing), or on such other date or at such other time or place as the Parties may mutually agree; provided that notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII, the Purchaser shall not be required to effect the Closing until the sixtieth (60^th) day following the date hereof (but with the prior written consent of Sellers, the Purchaser may, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.03, effect the Closing on an earlier date). The date on which the Closing occurs is called the “Closing Date”. For the avoidance of doubt, the transactions contemplated by Section 6.12 shall be consummated in accordance with the Local Transfer Agreement, and shall not in any way delay or otherwise affect the Closing.

SECTION 2.07. Withholding. The Purchaser, the Companies, and any other applicable withholding agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement any withholding Taxes or other amounts required under the Code or any applicable Law to be deducted and withheld; provided, however, that if the Tax Certificates (but without regard to any IRS Form W-8IMY, unless Sellers are selling partnership interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes) are delivered to the Purchaser reasonably in advance of the Closing, no U.S. Taxes (including under Section 1445 or Section 1446 of the Code) shall be withheld from any payment of the Purchase Price to the Sellers except in the case of an applicable change in Law. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts will 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, and such amounts shall be promptly paid over to the appropriate taxing authority; provided that, if the Purchaser becomes aware that any such withholding may be required in respect of any payment of the Purchase Price, it shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify and consult with Sellers regarding any applicable withholding Taxes and (ii) cooperate with Sellers in good faith to reduce the amount required to be deducted and withheld in accordance with applicable Law. The Purchaser or any other applicable withholding agent shall provide evidence that the amount deducted and withheld from the Purchase Price has been remitted to the appropriate Tax Authority.

SECTION 2.08. Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Sellers shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and deliver to the Purchaser a schedule setting forth an allocation of the purchase price (as determined for Tax purposes) between the U.S. Company and the U.K. Company and among each of their respective assets (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). The Purchase Price Allocation shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and the allocation principles set forth on Exhibit G.

-32-

(b) If the Purchaser does not notify Sellers in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Purchase Price Allocation from Sellers that the Purchaser disagrees with the allocation of one or more items reflected in the Purchase Price Allocation, the Purchase Price Allocation as prepared by Sellers shall be final and binding on the Parties (a “Final Allocation Statement”). If, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Purchase Price Allocation from Sellers, the Purchaser notifies Sellers in writing that the Purchaser disagrees with the allocation of one or more items reflected in the Purchase Price Allocation, the Purchaser and Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute. If the Parties have not resolved the dispute within ten (10) Business Days, the Purchaser and Sellers shall submit the matter to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm chosen jointly by the Purchaser and Sellers (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the principles set forth on Exhibit G and the Purchase Price Allocation as modified in accordance with the decision of the Accounting Firm shall be the Final Allocation Statement. In the case of any subsequent adjustment to the purchase price (as determined for Tax purposes) requiring an amendment to the Final Allocation Statement, the Sellers shall prepare an amended Final Allocation Statement in accordance with the principles set forth on Exhibit G, which shall be subject to the procedures in this Section 2.08. Each of the Parties shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation Statement, as may be amended pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise required by a final determination (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code) by a Tax Authority.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Solvent”, when used with respect to the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries, shall mean that, as of any date of determination and on a consolidated basis, (i) the Present Fair Salable Value of the assets of the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries will, as of such date, exceed all of their liabilities, contingent or otherwise, as of such date, (ii) the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries will on a consolidated basis not have, or have access to, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the business in which it is engaged or will be engaged and (iii) the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries will be able to pay their debts as they become absolute and mature, in the ordinary course of business, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it and the timing of and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its indebtedness, in each case after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The term “Solvency” shall have a correlative meaning. For purposes of the definition of “Solvent”, (A) “debt” shall mean liability on a “claim”; and (B) “claim” shall mean (x) any right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured or (y) the right to an equitable remedy for a breach in performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured. “Present Fair Salable Value” shall mean the amount that may be realized if the aggregate assets of the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries (including goodwill) are sold as an entirety with reasonable promptness in an arm’s length transaction under then-present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises.

SECTION 5.09. Absence of Certain Agreements. There are no agreements, arrangements or understandings (in each case, whether oral or written) between the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Sellers’, the Companies’ or their Affiliates’ members, management or directors or officers, on the other hand, that relate in any way to, or are in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 5.10. Competing Businesses. Except as set forth in Section 5.10 of the Disclosure Letter, none of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates owns any interest in any Person that derives a portion of its revenues from a line of business in the industries in which the Business operates that would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the ability of the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in a timely manner in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 5.11. Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Guarantor has delivered to Sellers a duly executed Guarantee. The Guarantee is in full force and effect and is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Guarantor, and no event has occurred, which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default on the part of the Guarantor under the Guarantee.

SECTION 5.12. National Security Matters. The Purchaser is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of 31 C.F.R. § 800.244, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are accordingly not “covered transactions” within the meaning of 31 C.F.R. § 800.213.

In addition, the Purchaser shall oppose, through and including Action on the merits (and all appeals with respect thereto), any claim asserted in court or other forum by any Governmental Authority or other Person in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, Order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would restrain or prevent the Closing by the Termination Date.

(d) Except as specifically required by this Agreement, the Purchaser will not (and will cause its Affiliates not to) take any action, or refrain from taking any action, the effect of which would be to delay or impede the ability of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

For the purposes of this Section 6.07(b), “D&O Expenses” shall, to the fullest extent required by the Companies’ or any of the Transferred Subsidiaries’ certificate or articles of incorporation, operating agreement, by-laws or other equivalent governing documents or indemnification or exculpation agreements made available to Purchaser, include reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees, arbitrator and mediator fees, and all other reasonable costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or otherwise participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend to be a witness in or participate in, any D&O Indemnifiable Claim, but shall exclude losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (which items are included in the definition of D&O Losses and not included here to avoid duplication).

(c) The Companies shall be permitted to, and the Purchaser shall cause the Companies as of the Closing, at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to obtain and fully pay for “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from and after the Closing, from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit ratings as Sellers’ current insurance carrier with respect to officers’ and directors’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), for the persons who are covered by the Companies’ or the Transferred Subsidiaries’ existing D&O Insurance, with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable as the Companies’ and the Transferred Subsidiaries’ existing D&O Insurance with respect to matters arising out of or relating to acts or omissions occurring or existing at or prior to the Closing (including in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and the Purchaser shall cause the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries to maintain such D&O Insurance in full force and effect for its full term; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser or the Companies be required to expend for such policy an annual premium amount in excess of 100% of the amount of annual premiums currently paid by or on behalf of the Companies for such insurance; provided, further, that that if the aggregate annual premiums of such coverage exceed such amount, Purchaser shall or shall cause the Companies to, obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing, for a cost not exceeding such amount.

-65-

(d) In the event that any of the Purchaser, the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and other assets to any Person (including by liquidation, dissolution, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar action), then, and in each such case, the Purchaser, the Transferred Subsidiaries or the Companies, as the case may be, shall cause proper provision to be made so that the applicable successors and assigns or transferees expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.07.

(e) Each of the Companies and each Transferred Subsidiary shall be a full indemnitor of first resort and shall be liable for the full amount of all D&O Losses to the extent legally permitted and as required, without regard to any rights a D&O Indemnified Person may have against any Seller or any of its Affiliates or otherwise or any insurer providing insurance coverage under an insurance policy issued to any Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, the rights and benefits of the D&O Indemnified Persons under this Section 6.07 shall not be terminated or modified in any manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of such D&O Indemnified Person. The provisions of this Section 6.07 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Person referred to in Section 6.07, his or her heirs and his or her executors, administrators and personal representatives, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 6.07, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights, including rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise. Each D&O Indemnified Person shall be an express third-party beneficiary of, and may enforce, any provisions of this Section 6.07, and the Purchaser, the Companies or the applicable Transferred Subsidiary, as applicable, shall pay any costs or expenses incurred by the D&O Indemnified Persons in connection with enforcement of any provisions of this Section 6.07.

SECTION 6.08. Employee Matters.

(a) Except as provided in Section 6.12, on or before the Closing Date, Sellers shall transfer or cause their applicable Subsidiaries to transfer the employment of each Business Employee who is not then employed by a Transferred Employing Subsidiary to a Transferred Employing Subsidiary in accordance with any notification, information and consultation requirements, pursuant to the Labor Agreements and applicable Laws; provided, however, that, upon mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Sellers (not to be unreasonably withheld by either party), certain designated Business Employees who are not then employed by a Transferred Employing Subsidiary may (i) remain employed by their current employer and transfer employment automatically to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates upon the occurrence of the Closing, pursuant to applicable Law (including the European Council Directive of March 12, 2001 (2001/23/EC) (the “Directive”), relating to the safeguarding of employees’ rights in the event of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of businesses and any country legislation

-66-

implementing the Directive and any other similar Law (collectively, the “Transfer Regulations”)) or (ii) in the event the employment of such Business Employees does not automatically transfer to the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates by operation of Law, be offered employment by the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates pursuant to offers of employment and/or tripartite transfer agreements, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, with such offers of employment and/or tripartite transfer agreements effective on the Closing Date. Where the Purchaser and Sellers have mutually agreed to a transfer of Business Employees using tripartite transfer agreements, the Purchaser and Sellers (or their applicable Affiliates) agree to work together in good faith to prepare and enter into tripartite transfer agreements with such employees to facilitate the transfer. Any offers of employment and tripartite transfer agreements made pursuant to this Section 6.08(a)(ii) shall (y) be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Section 6.08 and (z) otherwise comply in all respects with applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser and Sellers mutually determine that it is necessary to delay the transfer of the employment of the Business Employees in any jurisdiction pending the establishment of a Transferred Employing Subsidiary in such jurisdiction (such employees, “Delayed Transfer Employees”), Sellers shall transfer the employment of such Delayed Transfer Employees following the establishment of such Transferred Employing Subsidiary (the date of such transfer, the “Delayed Transfer Date”). Any reference to Closing or the Closing Date under this Section 6.08, with respect to any Delayed Transfer Employee, shall be deemed to be the applicable Delayed Transfer Date.

(b) During the period commencing at the Closing and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall provide, or cause the applicable Transferred Employing Subsidiary to provide, each Business Employee who is employed immediately prior to the Closing or Delayed Transfer Date, as applicable (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with (for so long as such Continuing Employee remains employed by the Purchaser or the applicable Transferred Employing Subsidiary) (i) base salary or wage level, bonus, cash sales compensation (including commission) opportunity and severance, each of which is no less favorable to such Continuing Employee than the base salary or wage level, bonus opportunity, cash sales compensation (including commission) opportunity and severance, respectively, that such Continuing Employee is entitled or eligible to receive from Sellers, the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) other benefits and perquisites that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, to such Continuing Employee than the benefits and perquisites that such Continuing Employee was entitled to receive immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, that the foregoing requirements shall apply only to the extent the applicable base salary or wage level, bonus opportunity, cash sales compensation (including commission) opportunity, severance, and other benefits and perquisites are set forth on Section 3.13(a) of the Disclosure Letter or the employee census provided to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.14(a), as such information may be updated from Seller from time to time (subject to Section 6.01); and provided, further, that in all events the compensation, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment provided by the Purchaser or the applicable Transferred Employing Subsidiary will be no less than those required (A) under applicable Law (including the Transfer Regulations) and (B) to avoid triggering severance or similar termination-related Liabilities and obligations.

(c) From and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall continue to honor, pay, perform and satisfy any and all liabilities and obligations of the Companies and its Subsidiaries, and all responsibilities of the Companies and its Subsidiaries to, or in respect of, each Continuing Employee and each current or former employee and independent contractor of the Companies or any of its Subsidiaries (including any member of the Company Group), as of the Closing arising under the terms of, or in connection with, any Labor Agreement that covers Business Employees and the Employee Plans (other the Excluded Plans) in accordance with the terms thereof. The Purchaser agrees that the Purchaser shall be solely responsible for satisfying the continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code for all “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9; provided, however, that Sellers shall be solely responsible for satisfying the continuation coverage requirements with respect to such beneficiaries related to any coverage pursuant to Excluded Plans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or the provisions of Section 6.08(b), as of the Closing, the Purchaser shall honor the change in control, retention, and severance agreements, arrangements and policies of the Company Group (other than the Excluded Plans).

-67-

(d) For purposes of eligibility, vesting and entitlement to benefits, including the vesting of equity, equity-linked and other incentive compensation and including the determination of the level of vacation and severance pay benefits under the benefit and compensation plans, programs, agreements and arrangements of the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate following the Closing (the “Purchaser Plans”), the Purchaser shall credit each Continuing Employee with his or her years of service with Sellers, their Subsidiaries and any predecessor entities, to the same extent as such employee was entitled immediately prior to the Closing to credit for such service under any similar Employee Plan (other than for purposes of benefit accrual under any Purchaser Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan), except where such crediting would result in duplication of benefits. For Business Employees providing services outside the United States, the Purchaser or one of its applicable Affiliates shall recognize seniority to the same extent as such employee was entitled to immediately prior to the Closing for all purposes (other than for purposes of benefit accrual under a Purchaser Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan). The Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to (x) not deny Continuing Employees (or any covered dependent thereof) coverage on the basis of pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods, and evidence of insurability requirements to the extent such conditions were waived or satisfied under similar Employee Plans immediately prior to the Closing and (y) credit such Continuing Employees (or a covered dependent thereof) for any deductibles, co-insurance, and out-of-pocket expenses paid on or prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any deductibles, co-insurance, and maximum out-of-pocket expenses in the applicable plan year to which such deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses relate as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with the applicable Purchaser Plan, but only to the extent such amounts were taken into account for each such purpose under the Employee Plans in which such Continuing Employee (or covered dependent thereof) participated immediately prior to the Closing.

(e) Upon the request of Sellers and prior to implementing the transfers contemplated by this Section 6.08, the Purchaser shall provide the information reasonably requested by Sellers or the Companies and in sufficient time to enable Sellers, the Companies and each of their respective Subsidiaries to meet any notification, information and consultation requirements, pursuant to the Labor Agreements and applicable Laws and the Purchaser and Sellers agree to work together in good faith to consult with, or obtain the consent or advice of, any Employee Representative Body as commercially practicable or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To the extent required under applicable Law, upon

-68-

the request of Sellers and prior to implementing the transfers contemplated by this Section 6.08, the Parties will also take steps to comply with Xxx Xxxxx or similar applicable Law. The Purchaser shall not take any action, and shall cause each Transferred Subsidiary not to take any action, that would result in Liability for Sellers or any of its Affiliates (other than any Transferred Subsidiary) under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended, or any similar foreign, state or local Law. As of the Closing, Seller will provide the Purchaser with all information requested by Purchaser in writing no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date regarding employee actions prior to the Closing that is necessary in order to analyze whether a triggering event has occurred for purposes of ensuring compliance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(f) With respect to any accrued but unused PTO to which any Business Employee is entitled to pursuant to any Employee Plan immediately prior to Closing, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, such accrued PTO will be assumed by the Purchaser (or its applicable Affiliate), and the Purchaser (or its applicable Affiliate) will allow the Business Employees to take such accrued and unused PTO in accordance with applicable Law following the applicable Closing.

(g) Promptly following the Closing, Sellers or their Affiliates will pay to each Continuing Employee all accrued or unpaid annual bonuses and accrued or unpaid commissions (i) in respect of any performance periods ending prior to the Closing and (ii) on a pro-rated basis for performance periods not yet ended as of the Closing based on the portion of the performance period that has elapsed as of the Closing (with the actual performance level determined by Sellers in good faith using reasonable assumptions).

(h) The Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.08 are included for the sole benefit of the respective Parties and shall not create any right (i) in any other Person, including any employee, officer, independent contractor, former employee or any participant or any beneficiary thereof in any Employee Plan or Purchaser Plan, or (ii) to continued employment with the Companies, any of their Subsidiaries, or the Purchaser. After the Closing, notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 6.08, nothing contained in this Section 6.08 is intended to be or shall be considered to be an amendment or adoption of any plan, program, agreement, arrangement or policy of the Purchaser nor shall it interfere with the Purchaser’s, or any of its Subsidiaries’ right to amend, modify or terminate any Employee Plan or to terminate the employment of any employee of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries for any reason.

SECTION 6.09. Tax Matters.

(a) Transfer Taxes. Except to the extent constituting an Excluded Liability pursuant to Section 2.01(f)(x)(iii), (iv), or (v), all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any associated penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if any, shall be borne, with respect to an aggregate of up to $10,000,000 of Transfer Taxes, fifty percent (50%) by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and fifty percent (50%) by Sellers, on the other hand, and any Transfer Taxes in excess of $10,000,000 in the aggregate shall be borne by Sellers. Following the applicable Actual Closing Date, the Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely file all Tax Returns related to such Transfer Taxes, and shall timely pay all such Transfer Tax liabilities. The Purchaser shall, prior to filing, provide Sellers with copies of such Tax Returns for its review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

-69-

(b) Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and applicable state and local income Tax purposes), the Parties shall treat the transactions effected under this Agreement as a purchase by the Purchaser of the assets of each of the Companies (or, to the extent expressly agreed between the Purchaser and Sellers after the date hereof, of partnership interests in the Companies) and their Subsidiaries from the applicable Seller in exchange for the purchase price (for Tax purposes) as allocated pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than with respect to the direct or indirect purchase of a Company Subsidiary treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), and the Parties shall not take any position on any Tax Return or in connection with any Action or otherwise that is inconsistent therewith except as otherwise required by a determination by a Tax Authority.

(c) ECI Certificate. Reasonably in advance of the Closing, (i) the U.S. Seller will provide or will cause its regarded parent to provide to the Purchaser an IRS Form W-9 and (ii) the U.K. Seller will (to the extent it will be treated as selling partnership interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes) provide to the Purchaser the certification described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1446(f)-2(c)(2)(iv) to the effect that the “modified amount realized” by the U.K. Seller within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1446(f)-2(c)(2)(iv) is $0 (the “Tax Certificates”). The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to one another any tax clearance certificates with respect to the Business, the Business Assets, and the Company Group, and any certificates demonstrating that no withholding (or a reduced rate of withholding) is required on any payment.

(d) Preparation of Tax Returns. Sellers shall prepare and duly and timely file (or cause to be prepared and filed, taking into account extensions) all Pass-Through Tax Returns (including any administrative adjustment requests under section 6227 of the Code), if any, for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the taxable year of any member of the Company Group that is treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that includes or ends on or before the Actual Closing Date applicable to such member) (“Seller Returns”). Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, all Seller Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice (to the extent such past practice exists). Not later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing of a Seller Return, Sellers shall provide the Purchaser with a draft of the Seller Return for review and comment. Sellers shall consider any comments provided by the Purchaser in good faith. The Purchaser shall prepare and file all Tax Returns of the members of the Company Group other than Seller Returns. “Pass-Through Tax Return” shall mean any income Tax Return filed by or with respect to any member of the Company Group to the extent that (A) such entity is treated as a pass-through entity for purposes of such Tax Return and (B) the results of operations reflected on such Tax Return are also directly or indirectly reflected on the Tax Returns of either Seller or the direct or indirect owners of either Seller, including information returns relating to income Taxes (including IRS Form 1065 and any Schedules K-1).

-70-

(e) Straddle Periods. With respect to any Straddle Period, in the case of any Taxes (or refunds of Taxes) not based upon or measured by income, activities, events, the level of any item, gain, receipts, proceeds, profits or similar items, the amount of such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period within such Straddle Period will be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period. The amount of any other Taxes (or refunds of Taxes) for a Straddle Period that relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period within such Straddle Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the applicable Actual Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any qualified electing fund (within the meaning of Section 1295 of the Code), CFC, or partnership or other pass-through entity in which any member of the Company Group holds an interest will be deemed to terminate at such time); provided, however, that any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (such as deductions for depreciation or real estate Taxes) shall be apportioned on a daily basis.

(f) Tax Refunds. Any refunds of Taxes (or credits in lieu thereof), including any interest paid by a Governmental Authority in respect thereof, that are actually received by the Purchaser or any member of the Company Group or their Affiliates (including in the form of a reduction or offset against any Tax) after the Closing in respect of Taxes of any member of the Company Group that were paid at or prior to the Closing or were taken into account in Excluded Liabilities, net of any Tax or other reasonable out-of-pocket cost resulting from (and that would not have been incurred but for) the obtaining, receipt and payment of such refund or credit (and in each case other than any such refund or credit that arises from the carryback of any net operating loss or other credit or attribute generated after the Closing Date, or that is subject to a payment obligation of any member of the Company Group to another Person other than the Company Group that is in effect on or before the Closing Date) (“Tax Refunds”), shall be for the account of Sellers. The Purchaser shall pay the amount of any Tax Refunds to Sellers (for the benefit of Sellers) within ten days of receipt thereof. Upon Sellers’ request (and at Sellers’ expense), the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the relevant entity to file for any Tax Refunds to which Sellers may be entitled hereunder. For purposes of this Section 6.09(f), if a Tax Refund is eligible to be received in cash but an election is made to apply such Tax Refund against future Tax liability or otherwise defer the receipt of such Tax Refund, then such Tax Refund will be deemed to have been actually received upon the filing of a Tax Return making such election. If any refund, credit or offset of Taxes described in this Section 6.09(f) to which Sellers are entitled is subsequently reduced or disallowed as a result of an audit, Sellers shall promptly pay the amount so reduced or disallowed to the Purchaser.

(g) Tax Audits.

(i) Pre-Closing Tax Audits. If any of the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates), or any of its Subsidiaries receives notice of any review, audit or examination by a Tax Authority or any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes in respect of any Pass-Through Tax Return that (i) includes a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or, for the avoidance of doubt, the taxable year of any member of the Company Group that is treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that includes the Closing Date) or (ii) that would otherwise require a Seller or any direct or indirect owner of a Seller to be required to file an amended Tax Return or an administrative adjustment request under Section 6227 of the Code or to be treated as filing an incorrect Tax Return (a “Pre-Closing Tax Audit”), then the Purchaser will promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) days) give written notice to Sellers; provided, however, that the failure to give such prompt notice

-71-

shall not affect Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement except to the extent Sellers are actually prejudiced thereby. Sellers shall have the right to control the defense of any Pre-Closing Tax Audit at Sellers’ expense; provided that (i) the Purchaser shall have the right (at its expense) to participate in the defense of such Pre-Closing Tax Audit, and (ii) Sellers shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Audit without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Sellers decline to control a Pre-Closing Tax Audit, the Purchaser shall control such Pre-Closing Tax Audit, but Sellers shall have the right (at their expense) to fully participate in the defense of such Pre-Closing Tax Audit, and the Pre-Closing Tax Audit shall not be settled, compromised or otherwise abandoned or disposed of without the consent of Sellers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 6.09(g) and Section 9.04(c) with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Audit, the provisions of this Section 6.09(g) shall control. To the extent any Pre-Closing Tax Audit relates to any taxable period to which the procedures of Title XI of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, H.R. 1314, Public Law Number 114-74 apply, the Sellers shall and shall have the right to cause the relevant entity to elect to make a “push-out election” pursuant to Code Section 6226 (or any analogous provision of state or local Law) and the applicable member of the Company Group shall elect partner level tax audit adjustments pursuant to Code Section 6226 (or any analogous provision of state or local Law) with respect to any final partnership adjustment from the IRS (or any relevant state or local Tax Authority).

(h) Amendments. Unless consented to in writing by Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), or unless otherwise required by law (in the determination of a nationally recognized tax advisor), neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates may (i) amend, file (other than the original filing of any Pass-Through Tax Return described in Section 6.09(d)), or refile any Pass-Through Tax Return that includes any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Tax Return of any member of the Company Group for a Pre-Closing Tax Period that would otherwise require a Seller or any direct or indirect owner of a Seller to be required to file an amended Tax Return or to be treated as filing an incorrect Tax Return, (ii) initiate or enter into any voluntary disclosure agreement or program with any Tax Authority with respect to a Pass-Through Tax Return or otherwise with respect to any member of the Company Group for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or (iii) make or change any Tax election or accounting method of any member of the Company Group that has retroactive effect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(i) Other Tax Matters.

(i) Unless consented to in writing by Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, any member of the Company Group) shall take any action in respect of Taxes or that could create a Tax liability outside the ordinary course of business and not contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date after the Closing with respect to any member of the Company Group or the Business or the Business Assets. Sellers shall not be liable for any Taxes (and shall be entitled to an amount equal to any increase in their Taxes, which entitlement may be enforced by Sellers) attributable to actions in contravention of this Section 6.09(i)(i).

-72-

(ii) Unless the parties expressly agree otherwise after the date hereof, neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, any member of the Company Group) shall make or permit to be made any election under Sections 336 or 338 of the Code or any similar provision of state or local Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iii) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, any member of the Company Group) shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers (at Sellers’ expense) in the preparation of any Tax Return or other documentation or certification that may be required to establish the eligibility of all or any portion of the consideration described in Section 6.09(b) above, as “foreign-derived deduction eligible income” within the meaning of Section 250(b)(4) of the Code.

SECTION 6.10. Recordation of Transferred IP. The Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for all applicable recordations and perfection of the assignment of the Transferred IP from the title owner of each such Transferred IP to the Companies or their Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Subsidiaries), respectively, and to use reasonable best efforts to complete any requisite recordation or perfection of the assignment of the Transferred IP within six (6) months following the Closing. For up to six (6) months following the Closing, Sellers will provide reasonable assistance to the Purchaser and the Companies, at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to give effect to the assignment of the Transferred IP to the Company as contemplated by this Section 6.10.

SECTION 6.11. Misallocated Assets and Liabilities.

(a) Subject, in all instances, to Section 2.02, if, following Closing (or the Local Transfer Date, as applicable), any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing or the Local Transfer Date, as applicable, the Transferred Subsidiaries) owns any right, property, asset or Liability that constituted Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities as of the Closing Date, or that any right, property, asset or Liability that has been transferred by Sellers or any Excluded Subsidiary to the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Subsidiaries) were Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities as of the Closing Date, then (i) any such right, property, asset or Liability shall be deemed to have been held in trust by the Companies and their Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Subsidiaries) following Closing for Sellers, (ii) the Companies shall, or shall cause the Companies’ Subsidiaries to, promptly transfer, assign and convey such rights, property, assets or Liability to Sellers (or any of their Affiliates as designated by Sellers) without any consideration therefor, and (iii) subject to Section 9.04, Sellers shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and its applicable Affiliates harmless from and against all Covered Losses incurred as a result of Purchaser’s or any of its Affiliate’s post-Closing (or post-Local Transfer Date, as applicable) direct or indirect ownership, management or operation of any such Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities (only to the extent that such Liabilities relate to Excluded Assets and are (or would be) Excluded Liabilities hereunder). Subject, in all instances, to Section 2.02, if, following Closing (or the Local Transfer Date, as applicable), any Business Asset or Assumed Liability was not transferred to the Companies (or one of their Subsidiaries) as part of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then (i) Sellers shall, and shall cause their applicable Subsidiaries

-73-

if applicable, promptly transfer, assign and convey such Business Asset or Assumed Liability, as applicable, to the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries as directed by the Companies without additional consideration therefor, and (ii) subject to Section 9.04, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Sellers and their applicable Affiliates harmless from and against all Covered Losses incurred as a result of Sellers’ or any of their respective Affiliate’s post-Closing (or post-Local Transfer Date, as applicable) direct or indirect ownership, management or operation of any such Business Assets or Assumed Liabilities (only to the extent that such Liabilities relate to the Business and are (or would be) Assumed Liabilities hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities are not intended to, and shall not, be transferred to the Companies or any of their Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Subsidiaries) and Sellers or an Excluded Subsidiary, as applicable, shall retain such rights, properties, assets and Liabilities.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.11(a): (i) Sellers shall, or shall cause their applicable Affiliate to, promptly pay or deliver to Purchaser (or its designated Affiliates) any monies or checks that have been sent to either Seller or any of their Affiliates after the Closing Date by customers, suppliers or other contracting parties of the Business, the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries to the extent that they are in respect of a Business Asset or Assumed Liability hereunder or are for the account of Purchaser, any of its Affiliates, the Companies or any Transferred Subsidiary; and (ii) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, promptly pay or deliver to Sellers (or their designated Affiliates) any monies or checks that have been sent to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) after the Closing Date to the extent that they are in respect of an Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability hereunder or are for the account of Sellers any of their Affiliates.

SECTION 6.12. Excluded Businesses.Each of the Purchaser, Sellers and the Companies acknowledges and agrees that the transfer of the Business, including the transfer of the Business Assets, Business Employees and assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, in each of the Local Transfer Jurisdictions (the Business in any such jurisdiction, an “Excluded Business”) shall not be effectuated by this Agreement, but instead shall be effectuated subject to and in accordance with the Local Transfer Agreement applicable to such jurisdiction and the following:

(a) From the Closing Date until the date (if any) on which any Excluded Business is transferred (the “Local Transfer Date”) pursuant to the applicable Local Transfer Agreement, Sellers, with the reasonable cooperation of the Purchaser and the Companies, shall operate the Excluded Business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.01, except that such covenants shall extend until the date any Excluded Business is transferred instead of the Closing Date, taking into account the transfers contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, prior to a Local Transfer Date, Sellers shall, and shall cause each applicable Subsidiary to, consider in good faith and take into account any reasonable request by the Purchaser with respect to an applicable Excluded Business.

-75-

agreements with respect thereto (provided, that, subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 6.15, the Purchaser may amend the Debt Commitment Letter solely to add additional arrangers, bookrunners and agents).

For purposes of this Agreement, references to “Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Letters as permitted or required, as the case may be, to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 6.15(a) and references to “Financing Letters” shall include such documents as permitted, or required, as the case may be, to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 6.15(a).

(b) The Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as possible, (A) maintain in effect the Financing Letters, (B) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (or on terms not materially less favorable to the Purchaser than the terms and conditions (including flex provisions) in the Debt Commitment Letter), (C) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to funding in the Debt Commitment Letter and such definitive agreements thereto and in the Equity Commitment Letter and consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, including using its reasonable best efforts to cause the lenders and the other persons committing to fund the Financing to fund such Financing at the Closing, (D) enforce its rights under the Financing Letters and (E) comply with its obligations under the Financing Letters. The Purchaser shall keep Sellers informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing as reasonably requested by Sellers and provide to the Companies copies of the material definitive agreements for the Debt Financing and such other information and documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Companies for purposes of monitoring the progress of the financing activities.

-76-

available, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay all related fees and expenses (“Alternative Financing”) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event and to obtain and provide Sellers with a copy of, the new financing commitment that provides for such Alternative Financing (the “Alternative Financing Commitment Letter”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable for any reason and, after four consecutive weeks or by the date which is two (2) weeks prior to the Termination Date, Purchaser has not secured Alternative Financing or alternative equity commitments in respect of the amount of the Financing so unavailable, Sellers shall have the right to provide, or to cause Parent or its or their respective Subsidiaries to provide, alternative equity financing on substantially the same terms (including price) being provided by the equity investors in Purchaser and/or alternate debt financing on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Financing that is available, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay all related fees and expenses (and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to implement any such alternative equity and/or debt financing).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) such requested cooperation shall not (i) unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Business or Sellers, the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries or (ii) cause significant competitive harm to the Business or Sellers, the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, (B) nothing in this Section 6.15 shall require cooperation to the extent that it would (x) cause any condition to the Closing set forth in Article VII to not be satisfied or (y) cause any breach of this Agreement, (C) none of Sellers, the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to (1) pay any commitment fee or any other fees or amounts to the Financing Sources, (2) incur or assume any liability in connection with the financings contemplated by the Financing Letters or the Financing, (3) deliver or obtain opinions of internal or external counsel, (4) provide access to or disclose information where Sellers determine that such access or disclosure could jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or contravene any Law or Contract or (5) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or any other Contract to which any of Sellers, the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries is a party, (D) none of the directors of Sellers, the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries acting in such capacity shall be required to execute, deliver or enter into or perform any agreement, document or instrument with respect to the Financing or adopt any resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Financing is obtained, in each case that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing (and no directors that are not continuing in such capacity after Closing shall be required to execute, deliver or enter into or perform any such agreement, document or instrument), and (E) none of Sellers, the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries or their respective officers or employees shall be required to execute, deliver or enter into, or perform any agreement, document or instrument (other than customary authorization and representation letters) with respect to the Financing that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing (and no officers or employees that are not continuing in such capacity after Closing shall be required to execute, deliver or enter into or perform any such agreement, document or instrument). To the extent that this Section 6.15(e) requires cooperation with respect to any of the Purchaser’s obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter or relating to the Debt Financing, Sellers, the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 6.15(e) for purposes of Article VII of this Agreement if Sellers, the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries have

SECTION 6.17. Insurance. For six months after any Actual Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify Sellers of any events, acts, errors, accidents, omissions, incidents, injuries or other forms of occurrences to the extent relating to the Business, any member of the Company Group or Transferred Subsidiary or the properties, assets, operations, employees, officers or directors of the Business or any member of the Company Group or Transferred Subsidiary that, in each case, occurred prior to the Actual Closing Date (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Occurrences”) for which it would like Sellers to submit a claim under Available Insurance Policies.

In the event the Termination Fee is payable, the Purchaser will pay, or cause to be paid, the Termination Fee to Sellers (to an account(s) designated in writing by Sellers), in immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days after the date that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.02 in the manner specified in the first sentence of this Section 9.03(c).

Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 9.03(c) and Section 9.03(d) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, the other Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Purchaser fails to promptly pay the Termination Fee in full when due and, in order to obtain such payment and Sellers commence an action that results in a judgment against the Purchaser or the Guarantor for the Termination Fee or any portion thereof, the Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers for all of its reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such action up to a maximum amount of $2,000,000, together with interest on the Termination Fee or portion thereof at a rate equal to 3% plus the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition on the date the Termination Fee was originally required to be made through the date of payment, and the right to enforce such payment shall be enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, if the Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 9.03(c), Sellers’ receipt of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.03(c) and the right to collect the fees, costs and expenses and interest in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 9.03(c) (including the right to enforce the Guarantee with respect to the foregoing) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Sellers and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, managers, members, directors, officers, affiliates or agents (collectively, “Seller Related Parties”) against the Purchaser, the Guarantor, the Financing Sources and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, managers, members, directors, officers, affiliates or agents for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, and upon payment of such amounts, none of the Purchaser, the Guarantor, the Financing Sources or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, managers, members, directors, officers, affiliates or agents shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that (x) the foregoing shall not impair Sellers’ right to specific performance pursuant to Section 10.12, (y) the Parties shall remain obligated for, and Sellers shall be entitled to remedies with respect to, breaches of the Confidentiality Agreement and (z) the Purchaser shall remain liable hereunder, and the Guarantor shall remain liable under the Guarantee, for any obligations of the Purchaser to pay the Termination Fee and any fees, costs, expenses and interest pursuant to Section 9.03(c) and for the expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations of Purchaser contained in Section 6.15(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, while Sellers may pursue both the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.03(c) and, prior to the termination of this Agreement, a grant of specific performance pursuant to Section 10.12, under no circumstances shall Sellers be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and any money damages, including all or any portion of the Termination Fee, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, under no circumstances shall Purchaser, the Guarantor, the Financing Sources and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, managers, members, directors, officers, affiliates or agents be liable for any monetary damages (inclusive of payment) to any Seller Related Party, other than (I) the right to receive the Termination Fee and the fees, costs and expenses and interest in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 9.03(c) and (II) in connection with the Confidentiality Agreement.

SECTION 9.04. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.04, effective as of and after the Closing, Sellers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Covered Losses incurred or suffered by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, to the extent arising out of or resulting from (i) any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities or (ii) any breach of the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 6.01; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to this subclause (ii), such obligation of Sellers shall only apply if proper notice of any claim related to such breach is delivered by a Purchaser Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 9.04 on or before the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date.

(b) Indemnification by the Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.04, effective as of and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers and their Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Covered Losses incurred or suffered by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of or resulting from any Business Assets or Assumed Liabilities.

(i) Any Person that has a claim for indemnification under this Section 9.04 (the “Indemnified Party”), other than a claim asserted by a third party, shall, as promptly as practicable, notify the Party liable (or who may be liable) for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand and, to the extent then known, an estimate of the Covered Losses incurred or suffered as a result thereof. Upon an Indemnified Party receiving notice or otherwise obtaining knowledge of a claim or threatened claim by a third party against the Indemnified Party (such claim or possible claim by a third party being a “Third-Party Claim”) in respect of which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnity pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall, as promptly as practicable, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand and, to the extent then known, an estimate of the Covered Losses incurred or suffered as a result thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.04, the failure to provide prompt written notice, so long as such written notice is given within the applicable period during which such matter survives hereunder in accordance with Section 9.01, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Section 9.04, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party suffers actual loss or prejudice as a result of such failure or delay.

(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall respond promptly to any claim for indemnification by the Indemnified Party, and, in the event of any dispute in respect of a claim for indemnification, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute for at least twenty (20) Business Days after notice of such claim and, if not resolved through negotiations, either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party may exercise any and all remedies set forth in this Agreement following the end of such twenty (20) Business Day period; provided that nothing herein shall preclude any Party from seeking specific performance or other equitable relief at any time.

-87-

(iii) Upon receipt of a notice of a Third-Party Claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.04(a) or Section 9.04(b):

(A) The Indemnifying Party will be entitled, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense and control of such Third-Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party); provided, that the Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to assume the defense and control of any Third-Party Claim if (I) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by counsel that, based on the defenses and positions reasonably expected to be asserted with respect to such Third-Party Claim as of the timing of such advice, a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party exists or would reasonably be expected to exist or arise with respect to such Third-Party Claim, (II) injunctive relief or specific performance is sought that would materially and adversely affect the Business, if granted, (III) such Third-Party Claim involves criminal or regulatory enforcement Action, or (IV) the Third-Party Claim is brought by a material customer of the Business. Notwithstanding an election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ one separate co-counsel and to participate in the defense as counsel of record, if applicable, in such Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if the Indemnified Party reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that (x) there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party or other Indemnified Parties that are not available to the Indemnifying Party, or (y) with respect to such claims, the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Party may have different, conflicting, or adverse legal positions or interests. In any other event not set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 9.04(c)(iii)(A), in the circumstances where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the relevant Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in (but not control) the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense.

(B) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense and control of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.04(c), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense, but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. Each of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each of its respective Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the other in the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including by furnishing books and records, personnel and witnesses, as appropriate for any defense of such Third-Party Claim, and shall keep such Persons informed of all developments relating to any such Third-Party Claims, and provide true, complete and correct copies of all material and relevant correspondence and documentation (including court papers) relating thereto; provided that either Party may restrict the provision of such information to the extent that (x) applicable Law requires such Party to restrict or prohibit the provision of such information (provided

-88-

that such Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure not in violation of such Law); (y) providing such information would breach any obligation of confidentiality to which a Party may be subject (provided that such Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure or, if unable to do so, to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable access or disclosure not in violation of such consent requirement); or (z) providing disclosure of any such information would reasonably be expected to result in the loss or waiver of the attorney-client or other applicable privilege or protection (provided that such Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to enter into such joint defense agreements or other arrangements, as appropriate, so as to allow for such disclosure in a manner that does not result in the loss of such privilege or protection).

(C) If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of a Third-Party Claim, it shall not be authorized to consent to a settlement or compromise of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (w) the Indemnified Party, as a condition to settlement, is given a complete and unconditional release of any and all Liabilities by all relevant parties to such Third-Party Claim; (x) the damages payable under the settlement are limited only to monetary payments which are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; (y) such Third-Party Claim does not involve any non-monetary relief of any kind (including any injunctive relief) against any Indemnified Party or finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party; and (z) the settlement of such Third-Party Claim would not have a material impact on the Business after the Closing (in the case of a Seller being the Indemnifying Party) or the business of Sellers (other than the Business) after the Closing (in the case of the Purchaser being the Indemnifying Party). For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation or right to obtain or agree to any settlement, compromise, discharge or release with respect to any portion of a Third-Party Claim that is not fully indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, no Indemnified Party will admit any liability, or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise, with respect to a Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party may have any liability hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(D) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim if the Indemnified Party is the only Person with actual or potential liability with respect to the Third-Party Claim and the Indemnified Party irrevocably waives any rights it may have to indemnification under this Section 9.04 with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Calculation of Covered Losses. Covered Losses shall be calculated net of any amounts actually recovered under insurance policies in each case with third parties (in each case, calculated net of reasonable expenses incurred in procuring such recovery and any increase in premiums or retroactive premium adjustments or chargebacks paid by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party solely as a result of the insurance claim related to such Covered Loss).

-89-

(e) Exclusive Remedy. The Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that following the Closing, except (i) with respect to or in connection with Fraud by a Party, (ii) as provided in Section 10.12; (iii) as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and (iv) with respect to any failure by any Party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement that, by its terms, was to have been performed, or complied with, under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements at or after the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.04 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties, respectively, and their respective Affiliates, for any Covered Losses that each Party (or its any of its Affiliates) may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or Ancillary Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right of rescission it may otherwise have or to which it may become entitled.

(f) Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, following the Closing, (i) except with respect to or in connection with Fraud by such Party, neither Party shall be liable to the other Party or its Affiliates, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict Liability) or otherwise, at law or in equity for, and Covered Losses shall not include, any punitive damages, except to the extent awarded against an Indemnified Party in connection with a Third-Party Claim; and (ii) no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification hereunder to the extent that such indemnification would constitute a duplicative payment for the same Covered Losses.

SECTION 10.02. Amendment/Waiver, etc. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Purchaser and Sellers, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Except as specifically provided otherwise herein, the rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and none is exclusive of any other, or of any rights or remedies that any Party may otherwise have at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or waiver shall be made to this Agreement or the Exhibits, Disclosure Letter, Annexes or Schedules to this Agreement that would adversely affect the rights of any of the Debt Financing Sources as set forth in this Section 10.02 (Amendment/Waiver, etc.), Section 10.06 (Parties in Interest), Section 10.08 (Governing Law/Jurisdiction/Waiver of Jury Trial) and Section 10.14 (Non-Recourse; Release) without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources that are party to the Debt Commitment Letter.

SECTION 10.03. Assignment. No Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall be permitted, without the consent of Sellers, to (a) at or after the Closing, collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement for purposes of creating a security interest and (b) assign this Agreement to its Subsidiaries or any Affiliates of STG Partners, LLC so long as the Purchaser remains liable hereunder; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve the Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any attempt to assign this Agreement without such consent shall be void and of no effect.

SECTION 10.04. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Letter, all Schedules, Exhibits and Annexes hereto and the other agreements contemplated hereby or referred to herein, including the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement) contains the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, except for the Confidentiality Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect for the term provided for therein.

SECTION 10.05. Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of any Party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled by an Affiliate of such Party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party.

-92-

SECTION 10.06. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

SECTION 10.08. Governing Law/Jurisdiction/Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement, and any claim, suit, action or proceeding in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether in law or in equity, and whether in contract or in tort or otherwise), shall be governed by and enforced pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware, its rules of conflict of laws notwithstanding. Each Party hereby irrevocably agrees and consents to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle Country, or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware located in Wilmington, Delaware, or, if such United States District Court lacks jurisdiction, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, in any suit, action or proceeding described in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 10.08(a). Each Party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such suit, action or proceeding by the delivery of such process to such Party at the address and in the manner provided in Section 10.01. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in (i) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County or (ii) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware located in Wilmington, Delaware, or, (iii) the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that any claim, controversy or dispute of any kind or nature (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) asserted against a Debt Financing Source or its Affiliates, members, managers, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives that is in any way related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing or the Debt Commitment Letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (except as expressly specified otherwise in the Debt Commitment Letter, the commitment relating to any alternative financing being used in accordance with this Agreement or in any definitive document related to such financing to which such Debt Financing Source is a party).

(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE DOCUMENTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THE DEBT FINANCING, THE DEBT FINANCING COMMITMENT LETTER AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE DEBT COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE DEBT COMMITMENT LETTER, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY.

SECTION 10.09. Counterparts, Severability, etc. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, scanned pages or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

SECTION 10.10. Headings, etc. The provision of the Table of Contents and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reading only and shall not affect or be utilized in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

SECTION 10.11. Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from time to time, at the request of any Party hereto and at the expense of the Party so requesting, each other Party shall execute and deliver to such requesting Party such documents and take such other action as such requesting Party may reasonably request in order to consummate or give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 10.12. Remedies.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such failure to perform or breach. Accordingly, but subject to Section 10.12(e), the Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Purchaser, Sellers or the Companies of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser or Sellers, as applicable, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other Parties (as applicable), and to specific performance by the other Parties (as applicable) of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other Parties (as applicable) under this Agreement, without proof of actual harm or the inadequacy of a legal remedy and without bond or other security being required. The pursuit of specific enforcement or other equitable remedies by any Party will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy (whether at law or in equity) to which such Party may be entitled at any time, subject to the limitations on remedies set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that, prior to the Closing, Sellers shall be entitled to specific performance to cause the Purchaser to draw down the full proceeds of the Equity Financing and to cause the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 2.06, on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, if and only if, (i) all conditions in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied, (ii) the Debt Financing (or, if Alternative Financing is being used in accordance with Section 6.15(c) the financing to be made available pursuant to the commitments with respect thereto) has been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, (iii) Purchaser has failed to consummate the Closing at the time when it would be required under Section 2.06, and (iv) Sellers have confirmed in writing to Purchaser that if specific performance were granted and the Financing were funded, then the Closing would occur in accordance with Section 2.06. The Parties agree that, while Sellers are entitled to seek both specific performance to effect the Closing (subject to the terms of this Section 10.12) and the Termination Fee (subject to the terms of Section 9.03), in no event shall Sellers be entitled to receive both such grant of specific performance and the Termination Fee or any other monetary damages.

-95-

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but in any event without limitation of the provisions of Section 10.14(a), the Parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that, prior to the Closing, Sellers shall be entitled to specific performance to cause the Purchaser to enforce the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with Section 6.15(a), if and only if (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing), and (ii) all of the conditions to the consummation of the financing provided by the Debt Commitment Letter (or, if Alternative Financing is being used in accordance with Section 6.15(c), pursuant to the commitments with respect thereto) have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing).

(d) Subject to the limitations on remedies set forth in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein 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 will not preclude the exercise at any time of any other remedy.

(e) Each Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, hereby agrees not to raise any objections (other than contesting the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement) to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance in accordance with and subject to the limitations of this Section 10.12 to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by Sellers or the Purchaser, as applicable, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of Sellers or the Purchaser, as applicable, under this Agreement. The Parties further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.12, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek at any time any other form of relief that may be available to a Party under this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Guarantee in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 10.12 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 10.12 shall require any Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 10.12 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article IX, nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.12 or anything set forth in this Section 10.12 (other than the last sentence of this Section 10.12(e)) restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article IX or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Guarantee that may be available then or thereafter (subject the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein); provided, however, that under no circumstances shall Purchaser or any of its Affiliates have any liability to Sellers or any of their Affiliates for monetary damages in excess of the Termination Fee (plus any costs and expenses of enforcement payable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.03(c) and any amounts payable in accordance with Section 6.15(f), or in connection with the Confidentiality Agreement) and under no circumstance shall Sellers be entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance to cause the Closing to occur and the Termination Fee or any other monetary damages.

SECTION 10.13. Knowledge. For purpose of this Agreement, (i) “Knowledge of Sellers” shall mean the actual knowledge of Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, and (ii) “Knowledge of Purchaser” shall mean the actual knowledge of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxxx.

SECTION 10.14. Non-Recourse; Release.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Debt Commitment Letter and the Guarantee, all claims, obligations, Liabilities, or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as Parties in the preamble to this Agreement (the “Contracting Parties”). Without limiting claims in respect of Fraud, no Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any Contracting Party, or any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of any of the foregoing and the Debt Financing Sources (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Party”), shall have any Liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, performance, or breach of this Agreement (other than as set forth in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Debt Commitment Letter and the Guarantee), and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Non-Recourse Party. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Debt Commitment Letter and the Guarantee, (a) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impute or extend the Liability of a Contracting Party to any Non-Recourse Party, whether based on statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise; and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Non-Recourse Party with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Seller (i) waives any claims or rights against the Debt Financing Sources in connection with the Debt Financing or in any way relating to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof or the Debt Financing contemplated thereby, whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, (ii) hereby agrees not to bring any suit, action or proceeding against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, whether at law or in equity and whether in tort, contract or

-97-

otherwise, and (iii) hereby agrees to cause any suit, action or proceeding asserted against any Debt Financing Source by or on behalf of the Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to be dismissed or otherwise terminated. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waivers and agreements, it is acknowledged and agreed that no Debt Financing Source shall have any liability for any claims or damages to the Seller in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.14(a) shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement or any Debt Financing Source’s obligations to the Purchaser under the Debt Commitment Letter.

(b) Effective upon the Closing, the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Companies and their Subsidiaries), in each case on behalf of itself and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Releasers”), hereby irrevocably waive, acquit, remise, discharge and forever release Sellers and their respective directors, officers, direct and indirect equityholders and Affiliates from any and all Liabilities to such Purchaser Releasers to the extent related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and arising at or prior to the Closing, in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, matured or unmatured or determined or determinable, and whether arising under any Law, contract, agreement, arrangement, commitment, undertaking or understanding, whether written or oral (other than the Sellers Unreleased Obligations) or otherwise at law or in equity, and each of the Purchaser Releasers hereby agrees that it shall not seek any remedy or relief of any kind in connection therewith or thereunder from Sellers and their directors, officers, direct or indirect equityholders, Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.14(b) or otherwise shall be deemed to release Sellers from any Liabilities expressly assumed or retained by Sellers under this Agreement or any claims for Fraud (all such obligations, the “Sellers Unreleased Obligations”). Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the Purchaser Releasers expressly acknowledge and agree that this release is intended to extinguish all types of claims (other than the Sellers Unreleased Obligations) to the extent such claims are related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including those known and unknown and those suspected and unsuspected, without regard to whether they are now known or suspected, even if those claims may materially affect such Purchaser Releaser’s decision to enter into this release. This is a full and final release, and each Purchaser Releaser expressly waives any right under California Civil Code section 1542, which provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

(c) Effective upon the Closing, Sellers and their Affiliates (excluding, for certainty, the Companies and their Subsidiaries), in each case on behalf of themselves and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Releasers”), hereby irrevocably waive, acquit, remise, discharge and forever release Purchaser and its directors, officers, direct and indirect equityholders and Affiliates from any and all Liabilities to such Seller Releasers to the extent related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and arising at or prior to the Closing, in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, matured or unmatured or determined or determinable, and whether arising under any

-98-

Law, contract, agreement, arrangement, commitment, undertaking or understanding, whether written or oral (other than the Purchaser Unreleased Obligations) or otherwise at law or in equity, and each of the Seller Releasers hereby agrees that it shall not seek any remedy or relief of any kind in connection therewith or thereunder from Purchaser and its directors, officers, direct or indirect equityholders, Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.14(c) or otherwise shall be deemed to release Purchaser from any Liabilities expressly assumed or retained by Purchaser under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, or Sellers’ rights under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or any claims for Fraud (all such obligations, the “Purchaser Unreleased Obligations”). Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the Seller Releasers expressly acknowledge and agree that this release is intended to extinguish all types of claims (other than the Purchaser Unreleased Obligations) to the extent such claims are related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including those known and unknown and those suspected and unsuspected, without regard to whether they are now known or suspected, even if those claims may materially affect such Seller Releaser’s decision to enter into this release. This is a full and final release, and each Seller Releaser expressly waives any right under California Civil Code section 1542, which provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

SECTION 10.15. DISCLAIMER. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN OR OTHERWISE THE PARTIES COVENANT AND AGREE THAT: (a) THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANIES AND SELLERS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III AND ARTICLE IV HEREOF AND IN THE CERTIFICATES DELIVERED PURSUANT TO Section 7.02, ARE AND SHALL CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES TO THE PURCHASER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND (b) EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE, NONE OF SELLERS, THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES OR ANY NON-RECOURSE PARTY HAS MADE OR IS MAKING ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, OF ANY NATURE, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY, QUANTITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE BUSINESS OR THE ASSETS OF THE COMPANIES, SELLERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES. THE PURCHASER REPRESENTS, WARRANTS, COVENANTS AND AGREES, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS AFFILIATES, THAT IN DETERMINING TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE PURCHASER IS NOT RELYING, AND HAS NOT RELIED AT ANY TIME, ON ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, STATEMENT, NON-STATEMENT, INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER MATTER, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, OF ANY KIND, OTHER THAN THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) OF THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THIS Section 10.15 AND THAT THE PURCHASER SHALL OTHERWISE ACQUIRE THE COMPANIES AND THEIR SUBSIDIARIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSETS WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO

-99-

MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IN AN “AS IS” CONDITION AND ON A “WHERE IS” BASIS AND “WITH ALL FAULTS”. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) OF THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THIS Section 10.15, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, OF ANY NATURE, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY, QUANTITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE BUSINESS OR THE ASSETS OF SELLERS, THE COMPANIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED AND THE PURCHASER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RELIANCE THEREON; PROVIDED, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRECLUDE ANY CLAIMS FOR FRAUD.

SECTION 10.16. Due Diligence Review. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.15, the Purchaser acknowledges, covenants and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates: (a) that it has completed to its satisfaction its own due diligence investigation, and (b) that (x) other than as set forth in Article III and Article IV hereof and in the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 7.02, no representation or warranty has been or is being made by Sellers or any other Person as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information provided or made available to the Purchaser, or any of its representatives and advisors and (y) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, budgets and similar materials and information, the Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties, and, except as expressly set forth in Article III or Article IV, the Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluations of the adequacy and accuracy of any and all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, budgets and other materials or information that may have been delivered or made available to it or any of its agents or representatives (collectively, the “Estimates”), and the Purchaser has not relied on any Estimates and expressly disclaims any reliance on the Estimates.

SECTION 10.17. Provision Regarding Legal Representation.

(a) Post-Acquisition Use of Law Firms. Each Party, on behalf of its directors, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, acknowledges that (i) (A) one or more of the Companies and their Subsidiaries and (B) Sellers and their Affiliates (individually and collectively, the Persons described in this clause (B), the “Seller Group”) have retained Ropes & Xxxx LLP and Xxxxxxx | Xxxxx | Xxxxxx LLP (collectively, the “Law Firms”) to act as their counsel in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, and delivery of this Agreement and related agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Law Firms have not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) no Person other than the Companies, their Subsidiaries and the Seller Group has the status of a Law Firm client for conflict of interest or any other purpose as a result thereof. The Purchaser, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, (1) waives and will not assert, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Companies and their Subsidiaries) to waive and not assert, any conflict of interest relating to the Law Firms’ representation after the Closing of any member of the Seller Group in any matter involving the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any litigation, arbitration, mediation, or other proceeding), and (2)

-100-

consents to, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Companies and their Subsidiaries) to consent to, any such representation, even though in each case (x) the interests of such member of the Seller Group may be directly adverse to the Purchaser, the Companies and their Subsidiaries or (y) the Law Firms may have represented the Companies and their Subsidiaries in a substantially related matter.

(b) Non-Access to Legal Records Regarding Transactions. The Purchaser agrees that, after the Closing, neither the Purchaser, the Companies, nor any of their Subsidiaries will have any right to access or control any of the Law Firms’ records relating to or affecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are covered by attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or expectation of client confidence, which will be the property of (and be controlled by) Sellers. In addition, the Purchaser agrees that it would be impractical to remove all Attorney-Client Communications from the records (including e-mails and other electronic files) of the Companies and their Subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Purchaser will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Companies and their Subsidiaries) not to, permit any Attorney-Client Communication remaining in the records of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries after Closing to be used against Sellers and their Affiliates in any lawsuit, claim, action, proceeding or summons, except in the event that any such document, communication or information is used against Purchaser by Sellers or their Affiliates in any action.

(c) Retention of Attorney-Client Privilege with Respect to Sell-Side Acquisition Legal Representation. The Purchaser agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Companies and their Subsidiaries), that from and after Closing (a) the attorney-client privilege, all other evidentiary privileges, and the expectation of client confidence as to all Attorney-Client Communications belong to the Seller Group and will not pass to or be claimed by the Purchaser, the Companies, or any of their Subsidiaries, and (b) Sellers will have the exclusive right to control, assert, or waive the attorney-client privilege, any other evidentiary privilege, and the expectation of client confidence with respect to such Attorney-Client Communications. Accordingly, the Purchaser will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Companies and their Subsidiaries) not to, (x) assert any attorney-client privilege, other evidentiary privilege, or expectation of client confidence with respect to any Attorney-Client Communication, except in the event of a post-Closing dispute with a Person that is not a member of the Seller Group; or (y) without Sellers’ prior written consent, take any action which could be reasonably expected to cause any Attorney-Client Communication to cease being a confidential communication or to otherwise lose protection under the attorney-client privilege or any other evidentiary privilege, including waiving such protection in any dispute with a Person that is not a member of the Seller Group. Furthermore, the Purchaser agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Companies and their Subsidiaries), that in the event of a dispute between any member of the Seller Group on the one hand and the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries on the other arising out of or relating to any matter in which a Law Firm jointly represented both parties, neither the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence, nor any right to any other evidentiary privilege will protect from disclosure to such member of the Seller Group any information or documents developed or shared during the course of such Law Firms’ joint representation prior to the Closing.
