Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Marketing Period has not ended at the time of the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Article IX (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing), then the Closing will occur on the earlier of (i) any Business Day during the Marketing Period specified by the Purchaser to the Company on no less than on two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Company and (ii) the third (3^rd) Business Day after the final day of the Marketing Period (subject, in the case of each of (i) and (ii), to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of all of the conditions set forth in Article IX, other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of such conditions), except that if any of the conditions set forth in Article IX are not satisfied or waived (to the extent permitted hereunder) on such Business Day, then the Closing will take place on the first (1^st) Business Day on which all such conditions have been satisfied or waived (to the extent permitted hereunder).

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”), meeting the requirements of the DGCL, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary of State”), executed and acknowledged by the Company in accordance with the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger, or at such later date and time as the Purchaser and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the date and time that the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at the Closing, Seller shall pay any Overage Amount as directed by the Purchaser, either (1) in cash or (2) at the Seller’s election (the “Closing Equity Election”) by reducing the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock (rounding up to the nearest whole share in the case of any fractional shares) that it would receive as Closing Equity Consideration equal to (x) the Overage Amount, divided by (y) the Per Share Price.

III. EFFECT OF THE COMBINATION

3.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Purchaser, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, the Seller or the Company or the holders of any securities of the Purchaser, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, the Seller or the Company:

3.1.1 Conversion of Company Common Stock. The shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (such shares, the “Shares”) (other than (i) Shares owned by Purchaser, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time, and in each case not held on behalf of third parties and (ii) Shares owned by the Company, including Shares held in treasury by the Company, and in each case not held in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of third parties (the Shares referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Cancelled Shares”)) shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive in the aggregate:

(a) the Promissory Notes;

(b) the Cash Consideration (if any);

(d) the right to receive the MOIC Equity Consideration and MOIC Dividend Amount pursuant to Section 3.3 (collectively with the Promissory Notes, Cash Consideration and the Closing Equity Consideration, the “Transaction Consideration”).

3.1.2 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, all of the Shares that have been converted into a right to receive the Transaction Consideration as provided in this Section 3.1.1 shall no longer be outstanding, shall be cancelled and extinguished automatically and shall cease to exist, and each former holder of Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except for the right to receive the Transaction Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor in accordance with this Article III.

(a) At the Effective Time, each Cancelled Share shall cease to be outstanding, be cancelled without any conversion thereof or payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(b) Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub 1 issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (the “Surviving Corporation Common Stock”) and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

3.1.3 Adjustments. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of Purchaser or the Company shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, the Transaction Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock (or such rights that are convertible into shares of Company Common Stock) and Purchaser the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 3.1.3 shall be deemed to permit any action that Purchaser or the Company is otherwise prohibited from taking pursuant to this Agreement.

3.1.4 Effect on Interests. At the Subsequent Effective Time, each share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Subsequent Effective Time shall be converted into one limited liability company interest of the Surviving Company and each limited liability company interest of Merger Sub 2 issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Subsequent Effective Time shall be converted into one limited liability company interest of the Surviving Company.

3.2 Proceedings. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, all proceedings that will be taken and all documents that will be executed and delivered by the Parties on the Closing Date will be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously, and no proceedings will be deemed taken nor any document executed and delivered until all such proceedings have been taken, and all such documents have been executed and delivered.

3.3 MOIC Equity Consideration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon each Measurement Date, and as additional consideration for the Merger, Seller is entitled to additional consideration from Purchaser in the form of shares of Purchaser Common Stock (the “MOIC Equity Consideration”) as follows:

(a) If on any Measurement Date, MOIC is greater than 2.0x, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to an aggregate (taking into account all prior payments made pursuant to this Section 3.3) of 222,000 shares of Purchaser Common Stock (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3(e)).

(b) If on any Measurement Date, MOIC is greater than 3.0x, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to an aggregate (taking into account all prior payments made pursuant to this Section 3.3) of 444,000 shares of Purchaser Common Stock (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3(e)).

(c) If on any Measurement Date, MOIC is greater than 4.0x, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to an aggregate (taking into account all prior payments made pursuant to this Section 3.3) of 666,000 shares of Purchaser Common Stock (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3(e)).

(d) If on any Measurement Date, MOIC is greater than 4.5x, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to an aggregate (taking into account all prior payments made pursuant to this Section 3.3) of 888,000 shares of Purchaser Common Stock (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3(e)).

(e) If the Fully-Diluted Equity increases or decreases between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock which constitute the MOIC Equity Consideration shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, by multiplying (x) the number of shares by which the Fully-Diluted Equity has increased or decreased by (y)(i) in the case of Section 3.3(a), 1.583%, (ii) in the case of Section 3.3(b), 3.166%, (iii) in the case of Section 3.3(c), 4.749%, and (iv) in the case of Section 3.3(d), 6.332%.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the MOIC Equity Consideration exceed in the aggregate 888,000 shares of Purchaser Common Stock (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3(e)). Purchaser shall notify Seller prior to any cash dividend by Purchaser to, or equity investment in Purchaser by, the Apollo Holders (provided, that such notification will not be required to the extent Seller is entitled to receive notification of such event in connection with its rights under the Investor Rights Agreement) and such notification shall include to the extent practicable, a calculation of the MOIC as of such date (which, if not practicable to provide prior to such date shall be provided as soon as practicable thereafter). Any delivery of MOIC Equity Consideration required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be made at the applicable Measurement Date (or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable).

To the extent that any of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock constituting MOIC Equity Consideration that are actually issued would have, if delivered as of the Closing, been entitled to any cash dividends from and after the Closing (the amount of such dividends, the “MOIC Dividend Amount”), Purchaser shall deliver, in connection with the delivery of the MOIC Equity Consideration, at its election either (i) cash in the amount of the MOIC Dividend Amount, or (ii) additional shares of Purchaser Common Stock having a value equal to the MOIC Dividend Amount (rounding up to the nearest whole share in the case of any fractional shares).

The number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock which constitutes the MOIC Equity Consideration shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalization and the like occurring after the Closing.

3.4 Withholding. Each of Purchaser, the Surviving Company and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement such amounts as it is required, in such payor’s reasonable determination, to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, any Treasury Regulations, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Laws. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld and paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

3.5 Closing Statement. At least five (5) Business Days before the Closing, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), together with a statement (as the same may be adjusted by the Company in its sole discretion in response to comments made by Purchaser prior to the Closing, the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (a) in reasonable detail the Company’s good faith estimated calculations of Closing Date Cash, Closing Date Debt, Closing Date Selling Expenses and the Preferred Amount, and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company that the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Statement were prepared in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 3.5, each Party shall cooperate with and make available to the other Parties, their respective representatives, all information, records, data and working papers, and shall permit access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Closing Statement.

6.9 Purchaser’s Investigation and Reliance. Purchaser is a sophisticated purchaser and has made its own investigation, review and analysis regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, Seller and the transactions contemplated hereby, together with the Representatives that they have engaged for such purpose. Purchaser and its Representatives have been provided with full and complete access to the Representatives, properties, offices and other facilities, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and other necessary information that they have requested in connection with their investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser is not relying, and has not relied, upon any statement, representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, made by the Company or its Affiliates or Representatives, except as expressly set forth in Article IV and Article V and the Disclosure Schedules. Neither Seller nor the Company nor any of their Affiliates or Representatives shall have any liability to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Representatives resulting from the use of any information, documents, or materials made available to Purchaser, whether orally or in writing, in any confidential information memoranda, “data rooms”, “virtual data rooms”, management presentations, due diligence discussions or presentations or in any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Seller nor the Company (nor any of their Affiliates or Representatives) is making, directly or indirectly, any representation or warranty with respect to any estimates, projections or forecasts involving the Company and its Subsidiaries, including as contained in any information memorandum and the Confidential Information Presentation. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that there are inherent uncertainties in attempting to make such estimates, projections and forecasts and that it takes full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of any such estimates, projections or forecasts (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying any such estimates, projections or forecasts). Nothing in this Section 6.9 is intended to modify or limit any of the representations or warranties of the Company set forth in Article IV or Seller set forth in Article V. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this provision will limit Purchaser’s remedies with respect to fraud.

6.10 Financial Statements and Related Matters. Purchaser has made available to Seller true and complete copies of the Financial Statements and the Interim Financial Statements. The Financial Statements and the Interim Financial Statements (i) present fairly in all material respects the financial position of Purchaser and the results of operations of Purchaser as of the respective dates thereof and for the periods covered thereby and (ii) were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby, subject, in the case of the Interim Financial Statements, to changes resulting from normal immaterial (in the aggregate) year-end adjustments and the absence of footnote disclosures and other presentation items, in each case the effect of which if they were prepared would not be material to Purchaser. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.10, Purchaser has no liabilities of a type required by GAAP to be set forth on a balance sheet of Purchaser, except for (x) liabilities reflected or adequately reserved against in the Interim Financial Statements and (y) liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course since the Balance Sheet Date (excluding any liability for breach of Contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement or violation of Laws by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries). The accounting controls of Purchaser have been and are sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (1) all material transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (2) all material transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the accurate preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and the accounting principles, methods and practices used in preparing the Financial Statements and the Interim Financial Statements and to maintain proper accountability for items.

The Purchaser Entities and each of their Subsidiaries have fully and timely paid all Taxes due (whether or not shown as due and owing on any such Tax Returns) as of the Closing.

6.11.6 Neither the Purchaser Entities nor any of their Subsidiaries are a party to or bound by any Tax Sharing Agreement. The Purchaser has not incurred any liability for the Taxes of any Person under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6, Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-78, or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign Law, as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise.

6.11.7 Neither the Purchaser Entities nor any of their Subsidiaries have (A) participated in any listed transaction within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b) (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law) or (B) taken any reporting position on a Tax Return, which reporting position (i) if not sustained would be reasonably likely, absent disclosure, to give rise to a penalty for substantial understatement of federal income Tax under Section 6662 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign Tax Law) and (ii) has not adequately been disclosed on such Tax Return in accordance with Section 6662(d)(2)(B) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign Tax Law).

6.11.9 Neither the Purchaser Entities or any of their Subsidiaries will be required to include in a taxable period ending after the Closing Date, taxable income attributable to income that accrued in a taxable period prior to the Closing Date, but was not recognized for Tax purposes in such prior taxable period (or to exclude from taxable income in a taxable period ending after the Closing Date any deduction the recognition of which was accelerated from such taxable period to a taxable period prior to the Closing Date) as a result of the installment method of accounting, the completed contract method of accounting, the long-term contract method of accounting, the cash method of accounting, Section 481 of the Code or Section 108(i) of the Code or comparable provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law.

VII. CERTAIN COVENANTS

7.1 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any Party to this Agreement, the other Parties will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions, as the requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in any such case, at the requesting Party’s sole cost and expense.

7.2 Indemnification of Directors and Officers. From the Closing through the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Closing, the Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Company to, and the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries shall, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under the Laws governing the Company and its Subsidiaries, each person who was or is made a party or threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was at any time prior to the Closing, a director or officer of the Company (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”), against all Damages reasonably incurred or suffered by such Company Indemnified Person in connection therewith, whether claimed prior to, at or after the Closing. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 7.2 shall include the right to be paid by each of the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries actual and reasonable expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, promptly after receipt of a written claim therefor accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any advancement of expenses to a Company Indemnified Person hereby shall be conditioned upon receipt from such Company Indemnified Person of an undertaking to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Company Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable Law. The limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company shall contain, and Purchaser shall cause the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company to so contain, provisions no less favorable with

If the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns (a) consolidates with or merges with or into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity, partnership or other entity of such consolidation or merger or (b) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.2. The Company shall purchase prior to the Effective Time a prepaid “tail policy” of at least a six year duration on, or with coverage generally equivalent to, its current directors and officers liability insurance coverage (D&O and FLI Coverage Sections only) at a net cost up to but not exceeding $150,000. Parent and the Surviving Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and to honor all of its obligations thereunder. Following the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 7.2 are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Person and such Company Indemnified Person’s estate, heirs and representatives, and nothing herein shall affect any indemnification rights that any Company Indemnified Person or such Company Indemnified Person’s estate, heirs and representatives may have under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any Law, any Contract or otherwise.

7.12.2 Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries and Representatives to use their reasonable best efforts (although Purchaser explicitly acknowledges that even with such reasonable best efforts, the actions contemplated by clause (iii) of this Section 7.12.2 may not be complete as of the Closing), (i) to have the Interim Financial Statements reviewed by the Company’s independent auditors as provided in SAS 100 (a/k/a AICPA AU-C 930), (ii) to furnish to Purchaser within 45 days after the end of any fiscal quarter ended after the date of this Agreement that is not a fiscal year end, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such quarter and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders equity for such quarter and the then-elapsed portion of the fiscal year and the same periods for the prior fiscal year (which will have been reviewed by the Company’s independent auditors as provided in SAS 100 (a/k/a AICPA AU-C 930) and (iii) in addition, at the sole expense of the Purchaser as contemplated by Section 7.12.6 below, (A) to have the Financial Statements prepared in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X and to have such Financial Statements be re-audited by the Company’s independent auditors in accordance with AICPA Professional Standards and (B) to have the Interim Financial Statements and the financial statements for any fiscal quarter ended after the date of this Agreement that is not fiscal year end (which shall include a consolidated balance sheet, and consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders equity for such quarter and the then-elapsed portion of the fiscal year and the same periods for the prior fiscal year) prepared in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X and to have such Interim Financial Statements and such other financial statements reviewed by the Company’s independent auditors as provided in SAS 100 (a/k/a AICPA AU-C 930).

In addition, if, in connection with marketing effort contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, Purchaser or Borrower reasonably requests the Company to make available to its security holders and lenders material non-public information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, which Purchaser reasonably determines to include in marketing materials for the Debt Financing, then, upon the Company’s review of and reasonable satisfaction with such information, the Company shall make such information available to its security holders and lenders.

7.13 Non-Solicitation; Release.

7.13.1 During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller and each of the Key Stockholders agrees, on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates (which for purposes hereunder shall not include any direct or indirect portfolio companies of any Key Stockholder or any of their Affiliates; provided, that such portfolio companies or Affiliates are not taking actions of the type prohibited hereunder at the direction of, or on behalf of, such Key Stockholder) (each a “Restricted Person,” and collectively the “Seller Group”) that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, either alone or in conjunction with their

respective Affiliates or Representatives, directly or indirectly (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee, officer, director, manager or other fiduciary of the Company, the Purchaser or their Subsidiaries to leave the employ or service of the Company, the Purchaser or any of their Subsidiaries, or (ii) hire any Person who was an employee, officer, director, manager or other fiduciary of the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries at any time during the six (6) month period prior to the Closing Date; provided, that the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall not prohibit general solicitation (but shall continue to prohibit the hiring of Persons who respond to such solicitations) by any member of the Seller Group through ads in newspapers, trade periodicals, online sites relating to employment matters or any other similar solicitation (or other solicitations directed at the public, or segments of the public, in general), or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, vendor, service provider, licensee, licensor, lessor, or other business relation of the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or the Restricted Business to cease doing business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or in any way materially and adversely interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, vendor, service provider, licensee, licensor, lessor, franchisee or other business relation and the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including making any negative statements or communications about the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or the Restricted Business); provided, that the restrictions in this clause (iii) shall not prohibit the ordinary course solicitation of any of the foregoing for purposes of a business that is not a Restricted Business, so long as such solicitation is not designed or intended to interfere with the Restricted Business.

7.13.2 Each member of the Seller Group recognizes and acknowledges that the territorial, time, line of business and other scope provisions set forth in this Section 7.13 are reasonable and are properly required for the protection of the Purchaser’s legitimate interest in client relationships, goodwill and trade secrets of the business being acquired by the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. In the event that any such territorial, time, line of business or scope provision is deemed to be unreasonable, against public policy or otherwise unenforceable as written by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Purchaser and each member of the Seller Group agree, and each submits, to such court’s alteration, amendment or reduction of any or all of said territorial, time or scope limitations so as to make such provisions be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the Law of such jurisdiction (giving maximum effect to this Section 7.13 as drafted to the extent compatible with such Law), such amendment only to apply with respect to the operation of such provision in the applicable jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made. If such partial enforcement is not possible, the provision shall be deemed severed, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

7.13.3 Each member of the Seller Group hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives and discharges any and all Actions that such Person has or may have in the future against the Purchaser, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates relating to any period on or prior to the Closing and releases, on its own behalf and on behalf of its successors and assigns, the Purchaser, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, directors, managers, officers, other fiduciaries, employees, agents, attorneys, heirs, assigns, executors and administrators, with respect thereto; provided, that such release and discharge does not include Actions arising under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

7.14 Change of Name. Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, Seller will change its name to “DPH 123, LLC”, or another name that cannot reasonably be confused with Purchaser’s or Subsidiaries’ names, by filing a certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and by taking all other action necessary to effect such change, including, without limitation, amending its other Organizational Documents. Immediately following the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates shall cease the use of any products, materials or names bearing or incorporating the names “Datapipe”. In no event shall Seller use any name after the Closing in a manner likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake or to deceive as to the affiliation, connection or association of Seller.

7.15 Consents. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement to the Closing, or the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, that the Company or the applicable Subsidiary has obtained the consent of each counterparty to a Material Contract set forth on Schedule 7.15. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company and its Subsidiaries in obtaining the consent of each counterparty to a Capital Lease Obligation which requires a consent on or prior to the Closing in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.16 Management Consulting Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser and Seller agree to negotiate in good faith a mutually satisfactory agreement for management consulting services that will be provided to Purchaser or its Affiliates in exchange for fees to be agreed; provided, that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to enter into any such agreement if the prospective parties to such agreement fail to reach mutually agreeable terms.

VIII. TAX MATTERS

8.1 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added, excise, real property transfer or gains, and other such similar Taxes (including any penalties and interest) incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), will be borne and paid fifty percent (50%) by the Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by the Seller. Each of the Parties hereto shall fully cooperate with each other Party to determine prior to Closing the amount of transfer Taxes (if any), and with respect to the preparation and filing of any such Tax Returns and other filings relating to any such Transfer Taxes as may be required.

8.2 Tax Reporting. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger and the Subsequent Merger, taken together as an integrated transaction, are intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and none of the Parties shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment except as otherwise required by Law or a good faith resolution of an Action. Each of the Parties shall reasonably cooperate, and take all reasonable actions, or reasonably refrain from taking any action, as applicable, to ensure that the Merger and the Subsequent Merger, taken together as an integrated transaction, constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, an action or the refraining from taking an action shall not be considered reasonable to the extent it would (i) reasonably be expected to result in a material cost to or otherwise adversely affect the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries (including the Company), (ii) alter or change the amount or kind of the consideration ultimately to be issued to the Seller or (iii) have the effect of materially delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any regulatory approvals or the Debt Financing required hereby or the Closing.

Such notice by the Indemnified Party will describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, will include copies of all available material written evidence thereof and

will indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, or at its option (subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.5.1) to assume the defense thereof by appointing a recognized and reputable counsel (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided, however, that:

(a) The Indemnifying Party must give the Indemnified Party written notice of its election to assume control of the defense of the Third Party Claim within ten (10) days of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim, and such notice shall contain confirmation that the Indemnifying Party has agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Party for the Damages arising out of or resulting from such Third Party Claim.

(b) The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim and to employ a recognized and reputable counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party, except that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall pay any reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party effectively assumes control of such defense and (ii) if in the advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines in its reasonable discretion that counsel is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume or control the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim if (A) substantially all of the damages associated with such Third Party Claim are not reasonably expected to be indemnifiable hereunder (including in the event the amount in dispute is reasonably likely to exceed the maximum amount for which the Indemnifying Party can then be liable pursuant to this Article X in light of the limitations on indemnification contained herein), (B) at the time of assumption and thereafter, the Indemnifying Party fails to conduct the investigation, defense or prosecution actively and diligently, (C) such claim seeks non-monetary, equitable or injunctive relief or alleges any violation of criminal Law or (D) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith after consultation with counsel that joint representation would be inappropriate due to one or more legal defenses being available to such Indemnified Party that are different or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party. In such circumstances, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 10.5.3, pay, compromise, and defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification and advancement of fees and expenses for any and all Damages based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

10.5.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement, compromise or discharge of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 10.5.2. If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim that (i)(A) involves the payment of money only, without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, as a condition precedent, a full and final legally binding release of all liabilities in respect of such claims given by the claimant in question to each Indemnified Party and its respective Affiliates, (B) does not impose on any Indemnified Party or its Affiliates any continuing obligation and (C) would not reasonably be

expected to have a future adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of any Indemnified Party or its affiliates and (ii) does not require any Indemnified Party or its affiliates to (A) admit any wrongdoing or liability or acknowledge any rights of any Person, (B) take or refrain from taking any action or (C) waive any rights unrelated to the Third Party Claim that the Indemnified Party may have against the Person making the Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 10.5.1, it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

10.5.3 Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of Damages that does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) will be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of such Direct Claim. Such notice by the Indemnified Party will describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, will include copies of all available material written evidence thereof that is in the Indemnified Party’s possession, and will indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of Damages that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will have a period of thirty (30) days from which to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party at the Indemnifying Party’s expense pursuant to the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have irrevocably acknowledged and agreed that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to the full amount of Damages set forth in such notice of claim.

10.5.4 A failure to give timely notice or to include any specified information in any notice as provided in Sections 10.5.1 or 10.5.3 will not affect the rights or obligations of any Party, except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any Party that was entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or such Party demonstrates actual and material harm as a result of such failure.

10.6 Miscellaneous Indemnification Provisions.

10.6.3 Insurance Proceeds and Other Recoveries. The amount of Damages recoverable by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X with respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered by such Indemnified Party with respect to the Damages to which such indemnity claim relates, net of any expenses related to the receipt of such payment, including retrospective premium adjustments, if any, occasioned by such Damages.

10.6.4 Cooperation. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which Party is obligated to indemnify the other Party hereunder.

11.1.2 If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 11.1.1, all further obligations of the Parties under this Agreement (other than pursuant to this Article XI, which will continue in full force and effect) will terminate without further liability or obligation on the part of any Party (or any direct or indirect equity holder, stockholder, partner, controlling person, member, manager, director, officer, employee, Affiliate or Representative of such party or such party’s Affiliates or any of

the foregoing’s successors and assigns); provided, however, that, subject to Section 11.1.6, (a) the Purchaser Entities will not be released from liability hereunder if this Agreement is validly terminated and the transactions abandoned by reason of (i) failure of the Purchaser Entities to have performed their material obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any material misrepresentation made by the Purchaser of any matter set forth in this Agreement and (b) the Company and Seller will not be released from liability hereunder if this Agreement is validly terminated and the transactions abandoned by reason of (i) failure of the Company or Seller to have performed its or their material obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any material misrepresentation made by the Company or Seller of any matter set forth in this Agreement.

Any payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee, if, as and when required pursuant to this Section 11.1.3, shall be deemed to be liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company, its Affiliates and its and their respective shareholders, including the Company’s shareholders, in the circumstances in which it is payable, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and in reliance on this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision, and it is agreed and acknowledged that such amount is not a penalty. The parties acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall Purchaser be required to pay the Purchaser Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

11.1.4 In addition to the Purchaser Termination Fee, during the period beginning on the date of such valid termination pursuant to Section 11.1.1(g) and ending eighteen (18) months from the date of such valid termination (the “Tail Period”), the Purchaser Entities agree, on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates (which for purposes hereunder shall not include any direct or indirect portfolio companies of Apollo or any of its Affiliates other than the Purchaser Entities; provided, that such portfolio companies or Affiliates are not taking actions of the type prohibited hereunder at the direction of, or on behalf of, Apollo) (collectively the “Purchaser Group”) that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Seller, either alone or in conjunction with their respective Affiliates or Representatives, directly or indirectly (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee, officer, director, manager or other fiduciary of the Company, the Seller or their Subsidiaries to leave the employ or service of the Company, the Seller or any of their Subsidiaries, or (ii) hire any Person who was an employee, officer, director, manager or other fiduciary of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries at any time during the six (6) month period prior to the Closing Date or during the Tail Period; provided, that the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall not prohibit general solicitation (but shall continue to prohibit the hiring of Persons who respond to such solicitations) by any member of the Purchaser Group through ads in newspapers, trade periodicals, online sites relating to employment matters or any other similar solicitation (or other solicitations directed at the public, or segments of the public, in general), or (iii) induce or

attempt to induce any customer, supplier, vendor, service provider, licensee, licensor, lessor, or other business relation of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to cease doing business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or in any way materially and adversely interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, vendor, service provider, licensee, licensor, lessor, franchisee or other business relation and the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (including making any negative statements or communications about the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries); provided, that the restrictions in this clause (iii) shall not prohibit Ordinary Course solicitation of any of the foregoing for purposes of a business that is not a Restricted Business, so long as such solicitation is not designed or intended to interfere with the Restricted Business.

11.1.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreement referenced herein or therein or otherwise, but subject in all respects to Section 11.1.3, Section 11.1.4, this Section 11.1.5, Section 11.13 and Section 11.17 (including, in each case, the limitations set forth therein), if any of the Purchaser Entities fails to effect the Closing for any reason or no reason or any of the Purchaser Entities otherwise breaches this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or fails to perform hereunder or thereunder (in each case, whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise), then the Company and Seller’s right to seek one or more of (but never receive both) (i) the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1.1, and to seek one or more of (but never receive more than one of) (x) payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee if, as and when required pursuant to Section 11.1.3, or (y) monetary damages for any of the Purchaser Entities’ fraud, or (ii) specific performance as and to the extent permitted by Section 11.13 (subject to the limitations set forth therein), shall be the sole and exclusive remedies (whether at Law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of Seller, the Company and their Affiliates, and any Representatives of the foregoing (and any other Person), against the Purchaser Entities and the Financing Sources or any other financing source of the Purchaser Entities or their respective Affiliates, and any of their respective former, current or future, direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, general or limited partners, stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, attorneys, advisors or other Representatives, or any of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Related Parties”) for all breaches, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses suffered as a result of, in connection with or related thereto. Except for liabilities and obligations of the Purchaser Related Parties set forth in the foregoing sentence, none of the Purchaser Related Parties shall have any liability or obligation whatsoever to Seller, the Company, their Affiliates and any Representatives of the foregoing (or any other Person), including multiple, consequential, indirect, special, statutory, exemplary or punitive damages, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Debt Financing, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or otherwise, or the failure of such transactions to be consummated, or in respect of any other Contract, document or theory of Law or equity or in respect of any representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at Law, in contract, in tort or otherwise. In addition, without modifying or qualifying in any way the preceding sentence or implying any intent contrary thereto or impairing the rights of the Purchaser Entities in any way, Seller, the Company, their Affiliates (as determined prior to Closing), on behalf of themselves and their respective Representatives, hereby waive any rights or claims against the Financing Sources and hereby agree that in no event shall the Financing Sources have any liability or obligation to Seller, the Company, any of their Affiliates (as determined prior to Closing) and their respective Representatives and in no event shall Seller, the Company, any of its Affiliates (as determined prior to Closing), and their respective Representatives seek or obtain any other damages of any kind against any Financing Source (including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages), in each case, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.Without limiting the foregoing, upon payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee, if, as and when required pursuant to Section 11.1.3, no Purchaser Related Party shall have any further liability or obligation to Seller, the Company its Affiliates (as determined prior to Closing) or any Representatives of the foregoing (or any other Person), including any multiple, consequential, indirect, special, statutory,

exemplary or punitive damages, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the failure of such transactions to be consummated, or in respect of any other Contract, document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

11.1.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement referenced herein or therein or otherwise, but subject in all respects to Section 11.1.7, Section 11.13 and Section 11.17, the maximum aggregate liability of the Purchaser Related Parties under this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, any other documents referenced herein or therein or otherwise, collectively (including, for the avoidance of doubt, monetary damages for fraud or breach, whether willful, intentional, unintentional or otherwise, or monetary damages in lieu of specific performance), or in connection with the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the Debt Financing) to be consummated, or in respect of any representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith or otherwise, whether in equity or at Law, in contract, in tort or otherwise, together with any payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee and any other payment in connection with this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, shall not exceed under any circumstances an amount equal to the sum of (i) one of (but never both) (A) the Purchaser Termination Fee, if any, due and owing to the Company pursuant to Section 11.1.3 or (B) the amounts, if any, due and owing to the Company as damages for any breach, including but not limited to fraud, pursuant to Section 11.1.2, plus (ii) the amounts, if any, due and owing to the Company pursuant to Section 7.12.6, plus (iii) the costs and expenses of the Company, if any, due and owing pursuant to Section 11.1.7; provided, that (A) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Purchaser’s obligations described in clause (i) of this Section 11.1.6 exceed the amount of the Purchaser Termination Fee and (B) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Purchaser’s obligations described in clause (iii) of this Section 11.1.6 exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and in no event shall Seller, the Company, their Affiliates or any Representatives of the foregoing (or any other Person) seek, directly or indirectly, to recover against the Purchaser Related Parties, or compel payment by the Purchaser Related Parties of, any damages or other payments whatsoever (including multiple, consequential, indirect, special, statutory, exemplary or punitive damages) in excess of the Purchaser Termination Fee or any of the foregoing limitations (as applicable).

The delivery of this Agreement may be made by facsimile or portable document format (pdf), and such signatures shall be treated as original signatures for all applicable purposes.

11.10 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions of this Agreement.

11.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits hereto and thereto) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and such Ancillary Agreements, and is a complete and final integration thereof. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including the Disclosure Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits hereto and thereto) supersede and cancel all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, both oral and written, express or implied, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and such Ancillary Agreements which the Parties disclaim reliance on.

11.12 Confidentiality. In consideration of the benefits of this Agreement to Seller and in order to induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Seller hereby covenants and agrees that from the date of this Agreement, until the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates shall, and shall cause the Company to, keep confidential and not disclose to any other Person the terms of this Agreement or use for their own benefit or the benefit of any other Person any information regarding the Company; provided, however, that if the Closing does not occur for whatever reason, this covenant shall immediately terminate and become null and void. In consideration of the benefits of this Agreement to Purchaser and in order to induce Seller and the Company to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that from the date of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years after the Closing, or if the Closing does not occur for any reason, the termination of this Agreement, Purchaser shall, and it shall cause its Affiliates to, keep confidential and not disclose to any other Person or use for their own benefit or the benefit of any other Person the terms of this Agreement and any information regarding the Company or Seller. The obligation of Seller and its Affiliates under this Section 11.12 shall not apply to information which: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of the provisions of this Section 11.12; or (b) is required to be disclosed by Law, order or regulation of a court or tribunal or government authority; provided, however, that in the case of the foregoing clause (b), Seller shall timely notify Purchaser prior to disclosure to allow Purchaser to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of such information.

11.13 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or is otherwise breached and that any non-performance or breach of this Agreement could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, Seller and the Purchaser Entities shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any provision of this Agreement without posting any bond or other undertaking, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity (including monetary damages). The Parties hereto further agree that the Seller and the Company shall be entitled to specific performance to cause the Purchaser Entities to draw down the proceeds of the Debt Financing and otherwise cause the Purchaser Entities to consummate the Closing to the extent, prior to the Closing, all of the Company Specific Performance Conditions have been satisfied in full in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and except and to the extent expressly permitted by the foregoing sentence of this Section 11.13, the Parties acknowledge and agree that none of Seller, the Company, its Affiliates or any Representative of the foregoing shall be entitled, whether under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, to seek or obtain any equitable remedy, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Purchaser Entities or any remedy to enforce specifically the terms of this Agreement or otherwise require the Purchaser Entities to draw down all or any portion of the proceeds of the Debt Financing or otherwise cause the Purchaser Entities to take any action to consummate the Closing (whether under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise), and that such Person’s sole and exclusive remedies with respect to any such breaches or threatened breaches shall be the Company’s remedies set forth in Sections 11.1.2 and 11.1.3, subject in all respects to the limitations set forth therein and in Sections 11.1.4 through 11.1.8, this Section 11.13 and Section 11.17 (including, in each case, the limitations set forth therein). Subject to this Section 11.13, each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the Party seeking the injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief has an adequate remedy at law. “Company Specific Performance Conditions” shall mean (a) all conditions in Section 9.1 have been satisfied as of the date on which the Closing would otherwise be required to occur (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing; provided such conditions would have been satisfied as of such date), (b) any Purchaser Entity fails to complete the Closing by the date the Closing would otherwise be required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2, (c) the Debt Financing has been or would be funded if the Closing occurs; provided, that the Purchaser Entities shall not be required to consummate the Closing if the Debt Financing is in fact not funded at the Closing, (d) the Closing would occur substantially simultaneously with the drawdown of the Debt Financing (provided, that the Seller and the Company remain ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing during such period) (e) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Purchaser that it is prepared to and able to effect the Closing upon the funding of the Debt Financing, and (f) any Purchaser Entity has not consummated the Closing within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, under no circumstances shall the Company, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, directly or indirectly, be permitted or entitled to receive (i) a grant of specific performance resulting in the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof or other equitable relief, on the one hand, and (ii)(a) payment of any monetary damages whatsoever, or (b) payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee, on the other hand.

11.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision and such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision will be reformed, construed and enforced as if such provision had never been contained herein and there had been contained in this Agreement instead such valid, legal and enforceable provisions as would most nearly accomplish the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

11.15 Legal Representation. In any dispute or Action arising under or in connection with this Agreement including under Article X, each Company Indemnified Person shall have the right, at their election, to retain DLA Piper to represent them in such matter and Purchaser for itself and for its successors and assigns and for the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties (including the Company if the Closing occurs) and their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably waives and consents to any such representation in any such matter. Purchaser acknowledges that the foregoing provision shall apply whether or not DLA Piper provides legal services to the Company after the Closing Date. Purchaser, for itself and its successors and assigns and for the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties (including the Company if the Closing occurs) and their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications between any Company Indemnified Person and their counsel, including DLA Piper, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any dispute or Action arising under or in connection with, this Agreement, or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, are privileged communications between a Company Indemnified Person and such counsel, and neither Purchaser, nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Purchaser, will seek to obtain the same by any process on the grounds that the privilege attaching to such communications, belongs to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and not Seller.

11.16 Press Release and Announcements. Unless required by Law (in which case each Party agrees to consult with the other Parties prior to any such disclosure as to the form and content of such disclosure), no press releases or other public releases of information related to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements will be issued or released without the consent of Purchaser and Seller.

11.17 No Recourse Against Third Parties.

11.17.1 No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that the following Persons are expressly intended as third party beneficiaries with respect to the following specified sections of this Agreement and will have the right to enforce such specified sections against the parties to this Agreement: with respect to Section 7.6, the Persons who are the beneficiaries of the rights under such Section; with respect to Article X, the Persons who are the beneficiaries of the indemnification under such Section; with respect to Section 11.15, DLA Piper; and with respect to Section 11.17.2, the Nonparty Affiliates.

11.17.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) no claim (whether at law or in equity, whether in contract, tort, statute or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or any other theory or doctrine, including alter ego or otherwise) may be asserted by any party, any Affiliate of any party, or any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of any of them, against any Person who is not party to this Agreement or, in the case of the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreement referenced herein or therein, any Person who is not party to such Ancillary Agreement or other agreement referenced herein or therein, including any equityholders, partners, members, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, managers, agents, Representatives, or Affiliates of any party or the heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (or any Affiliate of any of the
