STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of February 19, 2015, by and among GTT Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Global Telecom & Technology Americas, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Purchaser”), MegaPath Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), and MegaPath Corporation, a Virginia corporation (the “Company”). Purchaser, Seller and the Company are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Annex A.

RECITALS

A. Seller owns beneficially and of record all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity interests in the Company (collectively, the “Shares”).

B. Parent owns all of the outstanding capital stock of Purchaser.

C. Prior to December 31, 2014, the Company conducted three lines of business, which it referred to as (1) Network Services, (2) Cloud & Hosted Services and (3) Managed Services.

D. The Managed Services business of the Company includes the provision of (1) virtual private network (VPN) services, including MPLS VPN, IP Sec, Hybrid VPN and Remote Access SSL VPN, (2) managed security services, including network- and CPE-based unified management, firewall, intrusion detection and prevention, managed logging, anti-virus, anti-spam and content filtering, and (3) other managed services, consisting of compliancy solutions, proactive network monitoring, customer portal, Cos/QoS and managed broadband (such business, the “Business” and as conducted by the Company, the “Acquired Business”).

E. On December 31, 2014, the Company consummated the sale of its Network Services business to Global Capacity, which was structured as a contribution of the relevant assets and liabilities of the Network Services business to a new entity and the sale of that entity to Global Capacity. Prior to the Closing, the Company will transfer to an Affiliate of the Company (“CloudCo”) all of the assets and liabilities of the Company that are not directly related to the Acquired Business (such business, the “Cloud & Hosted Services Business”) and such transfer, the “Divestiture”). Accordingly, immediately prior to the Closing, the business of the Company will consist only of the Acquired Business and the employees, assets and liabilities of the Company will consist only of employees, assets and liabilities directly related to the Acquired Business.

F. Subject to consummation of the Divestiture, Purchaser desires to acquire from Seller all of the Shares, and Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer and convey to Purchaser all of the Shares, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the representations and warranties and mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE SHARES

1.1 Sale and Purchase of Stock. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, at the Closing Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from Seller, all of the Shares, free and clear of all Liens, in exchange for the payment by Purchaser, in accordance with Section 1.2, of the Purchase Price.

1.2 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares shall be: (a) One Hundred Thirty- Four Million, Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($134,800,000), (b) plus Six Hundred Ten Thousand Eight Hundred Forty Three (610,843) shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Parent (such shares, the “Parent Stock”), (c) plus the amount of Estimated Closing Cash, (d) plus Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in cash (the “Deferred Cash Payment”), (e) plus the amount, if any, by which Estimated Working Capital exceeds Target Working Capital, (f) minus the amount, if any, by which Estimated Working Capital is less than Target Working Capital and (g) minus the aggregate amount described on Schedule 1.2(g) with respect to Company Indebtedness identified on Schedule 1.2(g), determined in the manner contemplated by Schedule 1.2(g) (the amount set forth in the preceding clause (a), as adjusted pursuant to clauses (c), (g) and (e) or (f), as applicable, is the “Closing Cash Consideration”; and the result of the calculation set forth in the preceding clauses (a) through (g) is the “Closing Purchase Price”, and as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5, is the “Purchase Price”).

1.3 Payment of the Closing Purchase Price.

(a) Payment of Closing Cash Consideration. At the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Closing Cash Consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds as follows:

(i) to each holder of Company Indebtedness outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, other than any such Indebtedness identified on Schedule 1.2(g), the amount necessary to pay off the Company Indebtedness held by such holder;

(ii) to each Person identified in the Closing Statement, any Company Transaction Expenses remaining unpaid to such Person in accordance with the Closing Statement; and

(iii) the balance to Seller.

(b) Payment of Parent Stock. At the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Seller, the Parent Stock by electronic deposit of such shares in an account designated by Seller reasonably in advance of the Closing or, if requested by Seller or if Seller fails to so identify such an account, by delivery to Seller of a physical certificate for such shares. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the provisions of Section 1.2(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that (i) the Parent Stock is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange immediately prior to the Closing Date or (ii) the representations and warranties of Parent set forth in Section 2(e) or Section 2(f) of the Subscription Agreement would be untrue when made if Parent executes and delivers the Subscription Agreement at the Closing, then (A) Parent will not deliver the Parent Stock at the Closing and instead the amount referred to in Section 1.2(a) shall be increased to One Hundred Forty Million Dollars ($140,000,000) and (B) the Parties shall not, and shall not be obligated to, execute and deliver the Subscription Agreement at the Closing.

(c) Payment of Deferred Cash Payment. On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Article VIII), Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Deferred Cash Payment (as reduced by any prior application of Section 8.8 and any amounts subject to unresolved indemnification claims pursuant to Article VIII in favor of Purchaser) to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(d) Closing Statement. In order to facilitate the payments contemplated by Section 1.3(a), not less than three (3) Business Days nor more than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth: (i) the Company’s good faith estimate of (A) the aggregate amount of all Actual Cash of the Company as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Cash”), (B) the Working Capital as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital”), (C) the Company Indebtedness as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”) and (D) the aggregate amount of any Company Transaction Expenses required to be paid pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(ii) (the “Estimated Company Transaction Expenses”), in each case under this clause (i) together with supporting work papers, (ii) the name of each Person to receive a payment at the Closing under Section 1.3(a), (iii) the amount payable to each such Person and (iv) wire instructions for each such Person. There shall be appended to the Closing Statement (I) payoff letters for the Company Indebtedness referred to in Section 1.3(a)(i) and (II) invoices of the advisors, legal counsel, accountants and other professionals for the fees and expenses to be paid at the Closing pursuant to Sections 1.3(a)(ii). Purchaser shall have the right to review and comment on the Closing Statement, and Seller shall give consideration in good faith to any such comments, but the failure or refusal of Seller to accept any such comments shall not delay the Closing. The Closing Statement shall be prepared (and the estimates, determinations and calculations contained therein shall be made) in accordance with this Agreement, including Section 1.5(e).

1.4 Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares (the “Closing”) shall take place: (a) at the offices of Xxxxxxx Procter LLP, located at 000 Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxx XX, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, (b) at 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the later of (i) the fourth (4th)

The “Closing Date” shall be the date upon which the Closing occurs.

1.5 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Closing Statement. As soon as practicable after the completion of the audit of the Unaudited Financial Statements, but no earlier than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date or later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s good faith determination of: (i) the aggregate amount of all Actual Cash (the “Actual Cash”), (ii) the Working Capital as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the “Actual Working Capital”), (iii) the aggregate amount of all Company Indebtedness, as of immediately prior to the Closing (“Actual Company Indebtedness”), (iv) the aggregate amount of all Company Transaction Expenses as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Actual Company Transaction Expenses”), and (v) the amount by which the sum (which may be a negative number) of the Actual Cash, plus Actual Working Capital (which may be a negative number), minus Actual Company Transaction Expenses and minus Actual Company Indebtedness exceeds or is less than the sum (which may be a negative number) of the Estimated Closing Cash, plus the Estimated Working Capital (which may be a negative number), minus the Estimated Closing Indebtedness and minus the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses (the amount of such excess (including any decrease in a negative sum) being a “Net Increase”, and the amount of such shortfall (including any increase in a negative sum) being a “Net Decrease”), which statement shall also set forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s calculation of such amounts. The Final Closing Statement and the determinations and calculations contained therein shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement, including Section 1.5(e).

(b) Seller Review.

(i) Within sixty (60) days after receipt by Seller of the Final Closing Statement, Seller shall deliver written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser of any dispute it has with respect to the preparation or content of the Final Closing Statement, which Dispute Notice shall include a written description of the basis for and dollar amount of such disputed items (to the extent reasonably possible), all in reasonable detail. If during such sixty (60)-day period Seller notifies Purchaser that it does not dispute the Final Closing Statement, then the Actual Cash, Actual Working Capital, Actual Company Indebtedness, Actual Company Transaction Expenses and Net Increase or Net Decrease, as applicable, as set forth in the Final Closing Statement, shall become final, conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Seller at the time such notice is delivered. If Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice within such sixty (60)-day period, then Seller shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any right to object to the Final Closing Statement delivered by Purchaser and the Actual Cash, Actual Working Capital, Actual Company Indebtedness, actual Company Transaction Expenses and Net Increase or Net Decrease,

as applicable, as set forth in the Final Closing Statement shall become final, conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Seller.

(ii) During the sixty (60)-day period referred to in Section 1.5(b)(i) and any subsequent time period in which the Final Closing Statement is being disputed as provided in Section 1.5(c), Purchaser shall cause the Company to (A) provide Seller and its representatives with reasonable access, upon reasonable notice and during times mutually and reasonably agreeable to Purchaser and Seller, to the books, records and working papers of the Company that are directly related to the Final Closing Statement and necessary for Seller to undertake is review of the Final Closing Statement and (B) undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cause its employees to confer with Seller regarding the foregoing, in the case of each of the preceding clauses (A) and (B) for purposes of review by Seller and its representatives of the Final Closing Statement and the calculations set forth thereon.

(c) Disputed Final Adjustment. If a Dispute Notice is timely delivered within the sixty (60)-day period referred to in Section 1.3(b)(i), (i) any amount set forth in the Final Closing Statement and not disputed in such Dispute Notice shall be final, conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Seller; and (ii) Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith during the thirty (30)-day period after delivery of such Dispute Notice to resolve each dispute raised therein (each, an “Objection”), and if any Objection is resolved, the item so resolved shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Seller. If Purchaser and Seller resolve all of the disputed items in such Dispute Notice during such thirty (30)-day period, the Final Closing Statement shall be revised to reflect such resolution, and as so revised shall be final, conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Seller. If Purchaser and Seller, notwithstanding such good faith efforts, fail to resolve all of the Objections within such thirty (30)-day period (or such longer period as they may mutually agree), then at the end of such period Purchaser and Seller shall jointly engage BDO Xxxxxxx LLP or, if such firm is unwilling to serve in such capacity, another nationally-recognized accounting firm reasonably acceptable to both Purchaser and Seller (the “Accounting Arbitrator”), and shall instruct such firm to review and resolve exclusively all of the unresolved Objections (and no other matters contained in the Final Closing Statement) (acting as an expert and not an arbitrator) in accordance with this Agreement (including Section 1.5(e)) as soon as practicable thereafter (but in any event within thirty (30) days after engagement of the Accounting Arbitrator). Purchaser and Seller shall instruct the Accounting Arbitrator to deliver a written report containing its calculation of the disputed Objections within such thirty (30)-day period. Purchaser and Seller shall instruct the Accounting Arbitrator to not assign a dollar amount to any Objection greater than the greatest dollar amount for such item assigned by Purchaser, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, or lower than the lowest dollar amount for such item assigned by Purchaser, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand. All Objections that are determined by the Accounting Arbitrator shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Seller, absent manifest error, effective as of the date the Accounting Arbitrator’s written determination is received by Purchaser and Seller and shall be enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Final Closing Statement shall be revised to reflect such resolution and the Final Closing Statement, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.5(b)(i) shall be final, conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Seller. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator incurred in connection with the resolution of

disputes pursuant to this Section 1.5(c) shall be borne entirely by (A) Purchaser, if (I) the difference between the Net Increase or Net Decrease (as applicable) based on Purchaser’s position with respect to each Objection submitted to the Accounting Arbitrator for resolution, and the amount of the Net Increase or Net Decrease determined based upon the Final Closing Statement is greater than (II) the difference between the Net Increase or Net Decrease (as applicable) based on Seller’s position with respect to each Objection submitted to the Accounting Arbitrator for resolution, and the amount of the Net Increase or Net Decrease determined based upon the Final Closing Statement or (B) by Seller in all other cases.

(d) Payment following Calculation of Final Closing Statement.

(i) If the Final Closing Statement includes a Net Increase, Purchaser shall pay to Seller cash in the amount of such Net Increase within five (5) Business Days after it becomes final, conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as Seller may designate to Purchaser reasonably in advance of such payment.

(ii) If the Final Closing Statement includes a Net Decrease, Seller shall pay to Purchaser cash in the amount of such Net Decrease within five (5) Business Days after it becomes final, conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as Purchaser may designate to Seller reasonably in advance of such payment.

If any Party fails to pay any amount when due under this Section 1.5(d), such unpaid amount shall thereafter bear simple interest at a rate equal to the prime rate in effect from time to time (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus two (2) percentage points, until paid in full.

(e) Accounting Procedures. The Closing Statement, the Final Closing Statement and the determinations and calculations contained therein shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with the accounting methods, practices, policies and principles set forth on Schedule 1.5. Such statements, calculations and determinations (i) shall not include any purchase accounting or other adjustment arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) shall follow the defined terms contained in this Agreement whether or not such terms are consistent with GAAP and (iii) shall calculate any reserves, accruals or other non-cash expense items on a pro rata (as opposed to monthly accrual) basis to account for a Closing that occurs on any date other than the last day of a calendar month. By way of example, the calculation of Working Capital (forecasted) as of March 31, 2015 is also set forth on Schedule 1.5.

(f) Treatment of Payments. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

1.6 Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments of consideration with respect to the Shares pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent, Purchaser or the Company is required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any other applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, Purchaser or

the Company and properly deposited with the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.

The Shares collectively constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, and as of the date of this Agreement the Shares are owned of record and beneficially by Seller.

4.1 Existence; Good Standing. Parent and Purchaser are corporations duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and the State of Virginia, respectively, and have all required corporate power and authority to own or lease their respective properties and assets and to conduct its business as presently conducted. Purchaser is duly licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which such licensing or qualification is necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified or to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which it will be a party or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

4.2 Authority; Enforceability.

(a) Each of Parent and Purchaser has all required power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it will be a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Parent and Purchaser of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it will be a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized and approved by all required action on the part of Parent and Purchaser.

(b) This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Purchaser and each Transaction Document to which Purchaser will be a party will be, at and as of the Closing, duly and validly executed and delivered by Purchaser and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company and Seller) this Agreement constitutes, and each such Transaction Document will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and Purchaser (to the extent that they are a party thereto), enforceable against Parent and Purchaser (to the extent that they are a party thereto) in accordance with its terms, except for the Equitable Exceptions.

4.3 No Conflicts. Except as set forth in Section 4.3 of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Purchaser does not, the execution and delivery of the other Transaction Documents to be executed and delivered by Purchaser will not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Purchaser will be a party will not (a) violate Parent’s or Purchaser’s Organizational Documents, respectively, (b) violate any Law applicable to Parent or Purchaser or (c) solely with respect to Purchaser, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, violate, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms or conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default (or an event which might, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, constitute a default) under, or result in or give rise to a right of termination, modification, acceleration or cancellation of any obligation under, any Contract to which Purchaser is a party or by which it or its properties or assets are bound.

4.4 Consents. Except as required under the HSR Act or as set forth in Section 4.4 of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, no notice to or consent of or with any Governmental Authority or third Person is required to be obtained by Parent or Purchaser in connection with Parent or Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it will be a party or the performance of its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

4.5 Litigation. There is no Proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, threatened against Parent or Purchaser, that (a) questions the validity of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which Purchaser will be a party or any action taken or to be taken by Purchaser in connection herewith or therewith, (b) seeks to enjoin the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or such other Transaction Documents or (c) which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or together with any other such Proceedings, a material adverse effect on the ability of Parent or Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such other Transaction Document.

4.6 Financial Ability to Perform. At the Closing, Purchaser will have cash, available lines of credit or other resources of immediately available funds sufficient to be able to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, upon the terms contemplated by this Agreement and such other Transaction Documents, and to pay its transaction fees and expenses.

4.7 Investment Representations. The Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for investment purposes and not with a present view to, or for sale in connection with, any

distribution thereof, within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws and understands the restrictions on resale of the Shares imposed by the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws. The Purchaser also acknowledges that Seller has no obligation to register the Shares, that there is presently no public market for the Shares, that there may never be a public market for the Shares, and that, even if such a market develops, Purchaser may never be able to sell or dispose of the Shares and, accordingly, Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment potentially indefinitely. Purchaser is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501 under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

4.8 Brokers Fees. No agent, broker, finder or investment or commercial banker, or other Person engaged by or acting on behalf of Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s representatives or Affiliates in connection with the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, is or will be entitled to any brokerage or finder’s or similar fee or other commission from Seller as a result of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

4.9 No Other Representations or Warranties. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER AND PARENT CONTAINED IN THIS ARTICLE IV, IN THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, NEITHER PURCHASER NOR PARENT MAKES ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, AND EACH OF PARENT AND PURCHASER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES.

5.4 Regulatory and Other Approvals.

(a) General. During the Pre-Closing Period, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company) to, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, in a timely manner and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable, and execute and deliver such documents upon reasonable request, to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, consummate the Closing hereunder and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all filings with any Governmental Authority (including the HSR Act filings discussed in Section 5.4(c)) and obtaining all necessary waivers, consents and approvals from, and taking all necessary actions to avoid any Proceeding by, any Governmental Authority.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.4, Seller shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, enter into any Contract that places additional obligations or limitations on Purchaser or any of the Companies following the Closing as a condition for obtaining any Contract Consent or Governmental Approval, except with the prior written consent of Purchaser, and Purchaser shall not be required to consent to any divestiture or other structural or conduct relief applicable to the assets, properties or business of the Company or the business of Purchaser and its Affiliates. Except to the extent that Governmental Approvals require Purchaser to make submissions as applicant of record, Seller shall have primary responsibility to make application for and to pursue the grant of each of the Governmental Approvals and Contract Consents.

(c) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall file or cause to be filed with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), in each case pursuant to the HSR Act (i) the notification and report form, if any, required for the transactions contemplated hereby, which form shall be filed not later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement and (ii) any supplemental information requested in connection therewith, which information shall be filed as soon as reasonably practicable after the request therefor. Any such notification and report form and supplemental information shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act.

(e) Limitation on Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.4 shall obligate any Party to waive or amend any condition set forth in Article VII or any underlying representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

5.5 Access. During the Pre-Closing Period, Seller shall cause the Company to (a) provide to Purchaser and the employees, directors, officers, agents or representatives of Purchaser (collectively, the “Purchaser Representatives”), upon reasonable prior notice to the Company, reasonable access, during normal business hours, and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the Acquired Business, to (i) the facilities, assets, properties, books and records of the Company and (ii) the employees, directors, officers, agents or representatives of the Company or Seller (collectively, the “Seller Representatives”), (b) furnish to Purchaser and the Purchaser Representatives such documents, additional financial and operating data and other information related to the Acquired Business as Purchaser and the Purchaser Representatives may reasonably request and (c) with the prior consent of Seller (such consent not to not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) permit Purchaser and the Purchaser Representatives to contact and discuss the affairs and accounts of the Company with the customers, third party payors, vendors, suppliers and other business relations of the Company (it being acknowledged that Purchaser and the Purchaser Representatives are not prohibited from contacting any such Person with respect to any matter unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents). Prior to the Closing, all information disclosed by or on behalf of Seller and the Company to Purchaser or any of the Purchaser Representatives shall be received and held in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. No investigation by Purchaser or any of the Purchaser Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall affect, add to or subtract from any representations and warranties of the Company or Seller or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

5.6 Exclusivity. During the Pre-Closing Period, Seller shall not, and shall cause the Company and each of the Seller Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, encourage, entertain, facilitate or participate in any inquiries, proposals or offers from, discuss or negotiate with, provide any information to, consider the merits of any inquiries, proposals or offers from, or enter into any letter of intent, term sheet or Contract with, any Person (other than Purchaser), in each case relating to (a) any sale, assignment or transfer of any of the Shares or any direct or indirect interest therein, (b) any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, business combination or other similar transaction involving Seller or the Company, (c) any sale of any assets or properties of the Company outside of the Ordinary Course of Business, other than solely with respect to the Divestiture or the Cloud & Hosted Services Business, or (d) any issue by the Company of any capital stock or other equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for (including any rights, warrants or options to acquire) any such capital stock, other equity securities or other securities, (any such transaction referred to in the

preceding clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d), an “Alternative Transaction”). If, during the Pre-Closing Period, Seller or any of the Seller Representatives receives any inquiry, offer or proposal concerning a proposed Alternative Transaction, Seller shall not (and shall cause the Seller Representatives to not) make any written or oral response to such inquiry, offer or proposal (other than to state that a contractual obligation precludes a substantive response) and shall provide written notice to Purchaser, promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) of receipt or awareness of such inquiry, offer or proposal by Seller or any of the Seller Representatives, which notice shall include a reasonable description of the material terms and conditions of the proposed Alternative Transaction (including the identity of the Person making the inquiry, offer or proposal) and accurate and complete copies of any documents supplied by such Person in connection with the proposed Alternative Transaction. Seller shall, and shall cause the Seller Representatives to, cease immediately any discussions regarding any potential Alternative Transactions that were ongoing as of the date of this Agreement.

5.7 Notification. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company and Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall notify the other as soon are reasonably practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after becoming aware of (a) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of its or their representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, (b) any material breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of its or their representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that is not qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, (c) any breach or non-fulfillment of any of its or their covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or (d) any change, effect, matter, event, fact, condition, circumstance, occurrence or development that, individually or in the aggregate, is or would reasonably be expected to cause a condition to the other Parties’ obligation to consummate the Closing set forth in Article VII to not be satisfied prior to the Termination Date. Except as provided in the next sentence, such notice shall not (i) be deemed to supplement or amend the Seller Disclosure Schedule or the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule or any such representation and warranty or covenant and agreement of the Company, Seller or Purchaser for the purpose of determining whether any of the conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or (ii) affect the right of any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to Article VIII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent such notice is from Seller and (A) relates to Section 2.8(a)(i) or Section 2.8(a)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (relating to customers and suppliers), Section 2.8(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (ageing of accounts receivable), Section 2.10 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (relating to Material Contracts, but solely with respect to the additions to or deletions of any Material Contracts thereon arising in the Ordinary Course of Business), Section 2.14 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (relating to employment agreements and offer letters, but solely with respect to the additions to or deletions of any Contracts or offer letters thereon arising in the Ordinary Course of Business) or Section 2.18 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (relating to the list of insurance policies, but solely with respect to the additions to or deletions of any insurance policies thereon arising in the Ordinary Course of Business) and (B) the disclosure in such notice is only as to changes that do not result from a non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant of the Company or Seller set forth in this Agreement (or, with respect to deletions from Section 2.10 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, that do not result from or relate to any breach or other non-performance of any Contract), from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any and all rights it and all other Purchaser Indemnified Parties may have arising from or

relating to a breach of representation or warranty with respect to such sections that is described in such notice (including any right to indemnification pursuant to Article VIII); provided, however, that no such waiver shall apply if and to the extent the breach described in such notice related to the failure of a representation or warranty of the Company or Seller to be true and correct on and as of the date of this Agreement.

5.8 Purchaser Financing.

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary in order to obtain debt financing to provide funding for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (the “Financing”), it being acknowledged by Purchaser that obtaining the Financing is not a condition to the Closing. During the Pre-Closing Period, Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably apprised of the status of the Financing.

(b) Seller and the Company shall from time to time as and when requested by Purchaser, provide reasonable cooperation to Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s efforts to obtain the Financing, as Purchaser may reasonably request. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and Seller shall, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the other Seller Representatives to, at the request of Purchaser (i) participate in meetings, drafting sessions and due diligence sessions, (ii) (A) furnish Purchaser, as promptly as reasonably practicable following Purchaser’s request, with such pertinent and customary information, to the extent reasonably available to the Company or Seller, regarding the Company and the Acquired Business, as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to consummate the Financing and with information regarding the Company and the Acquired Business (including information to be used in the preparation of one or more information packages regarding the business, operations, financial projections and prospects of the Company and the Acquired Business), in each case, which is reasonable and customary for the arrangement of loans contemplated by the Financing and to the extent reasonably available to the Company, Seller or the Seller Representatives (collectively, the “Required Information”) and (iii) execute and deliver customary certificates or other documents and instruments relating to guarantees (but not any personal guarantees of any Seller or Affiliates other than the Company), the pledge of collateral and other matters ancillary to the Financing as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser; provided, however, that no obligation under any such certificate, document or instrument shall be effective until the Closing and Seller shall not and, prior to the Closing, the Company shall not, be required to pay any commitment or other fee or other amount in connection with the Financing.

5.9 Outstanding Letters of Credit and Guarantees.

(a) Section 5.9(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete list of the letters of credit and corporate guarantees issued in support of the Acquired Business by or on behalf of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company) for the benefit of third parties (the “Scheduled Guarantees”).

(b) Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a replacement guarantee, letter of credit, security or other collateral from Purchaser to the third party beneficiary of each Scheduled Guarantee, and to obtain from the respective beneficiary of such Scheduled Guarantee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, valid and binding written releases of Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company), as applicable, from any liability arising after the Closing Date under such Scheduled Guarantees with effect as of the Closing. If, after expending its commercially reasonable efforts, Purchaser is unable to procure such a release prior to the Closing, then Purchaser shall continue to expend such efforts after the Closing, and until such time as Purchaser is able to obtain such a release, or if earlier until such time as (i) the end of the then current term of the Contract associated with such Scheduled Guarantee in accordance with its terms, if applicable, or (ii) the satisfaction of the underlying obligations which such Scheduled Guarantee supports, if applicable, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and not terminate such Scheduled Guarantee.

(c) Purchaser shall after the Closing indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from any liabilities to the extent arising out of or related to a claim against any Scheduled Guarantees related to events or circumstances occurring after the Closing.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no breach or violation of any agreement as the result of any failure to replace any such letter of credit or corporate guarantee shall constitute a breach of any representation or warranty under this Agreement or cause any condition precedent set forth in Section 7.1 not to be satisfied.

5.10 Publicity. Except and solely to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange or permitted by this Section 5.10, no Party shall make or permit any press release or other public announcement with respect to the existence of or subject matter of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Seller. If Purchaser and Seller agree on a press release, then each of the Company, Seller, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates may issue further press releases and similar announcements without the consent of Purchaser or Seller; provided that each such press release or similar announcement contains, with respect to the information concerning this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, solely the information that is contained in the initial press release. To the extent any such press release or other public announcement is required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange, the disclosing party shall provide reasonable advance written notice thereof to Purchaser and Seller and consult with the non-disclosing parties concerning the contents of the public announcement.

5.11 280G Matters. Before the Closing Date, the Company shall (a) submit to all Persons entitled to vote (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 280G of the Code) the material facts concerning all payments and benefits that, in the absence of shareholder approval of such payments and benefits, would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (“Parachute Payments”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and its counsel, which will satisfy all

requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B)of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and (b) take all necessary actions (including soliciting any required waivers of any such Parachute Payments or other consents from any applicable “disqualified individuals,” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 280G of the Code) in order to solicit the approval and consent of all such Persons with respect to any Parachute Payments (the “280G Stockholder Approval”). Purchaser shall have the right to review and approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) all documents and materials relating to the 280G Stockholder Approval in advance of the 280G Stockholder Approval.

5.12 Cooperation with Audit. The Company and Seller acknowledge that following the date of this Agreement Purchaser may conduct, at Purchaser’s expense, an audit of the financial statements for the Acquired Business or of the Company after giving effect to the disposition of its Network Services and Cloud & Hosted Services businesses. The Company (prior to the Closing) and Seller (after the Closing) shall, and each of them shall cause their respective Affiliates (including for Seller, CloudCo after the Closing) to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser and its accountants in connection with such audit and to provide Purchaser and its accountants with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by Purchaser or its accountants in connection with such audit, which assistance may include (a) assistance in the preparation of books and records of the Company separating the Acquired Business from the Company’s Network Services and Cloud & Hosted Services Businesses and making appropriate allocations of accounting and financial items among such businesses and (b) making employees, information, records and other reasonably requested materials available on a mutually convenient basis to assist in the conduct of such audit. The Company (prior to the Closing) and Seller (after the Closing) shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including for Seller, CloudCo after the Closing) to, use commercially reasonable efforts to also provide such additional information available to Seller and its Affiliates which is relevant and reasonably necessary to enable Purchaser and its accountants to prepare and audit such financial statements in compliance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to Parent, and any registration statement, report or disclosure statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by, or on behalf of, Parent. In connection with the foregoing audit(s), and in furtherance of the obligations of the Company and Seller to assist Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.12, the Company (prior to the Closing) and Seller (after the Closing) covenants and agrees to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to Purchaser’s accountants audit representation letters with respect to the period prior to the Closing as reasonably requested by Purchaser or its accountants.

5.13 The Divestiture.

(a) The Divesture shall be consummated by (i) the contribution by the Company of certain assets to CloudCo as provided in the Contribution Agreement (the “Contributed Assets”), (ii) the assumption by CloudCo of certain liabilities of the Company as provided in the Contribution Agreement (the “Assumed Liabilities”), (iii) the transferring by the Company of certain employees to CloudCo or an Affiliate of Cloudco as contemplated by the Contribution Agreement (the “Transferred Employees”) and (iv) following the completion of the foregoing transactions, the distribution by the Company of the memberships in CloudCo to Seller prior to the Closing.

(b) Seller and Purchaser shall, and Seller shall cause the Company and CloudCo to, work together in good faith to mutually determine on or before the date that is fourteen (14) days following the date of this Agreement (the “Allocation Date”) (i) the assets of the Company that will be Contributed Assets, (ii) the liabilities of the Company that will be Assumed Liabilities, and (iii) the employees of the Company who will be Transferred Employees.

(i) all Employees other than the Acquired Company Employees will be Transferred Employees and any severance liabilities associated with such Employees will be Assumed Liabilities;

(ii) all of the Company’s office leases other than those for the Company’s facilities at Costa Mesa, California and Austin, Texas will be Contributed Assets;

(iii) the determination of the current assets and the current liabilities of the Company that will be Contributed Assets and Assumed Liabilities will be made in a manner consistent with the manner in which Purchaser and Seller ultimately determine Actual Working Capital;

(iv) any asset (including any Contract, other than the office leases that are addressed in the preceding clause (ii)) that is used exclusively in or relates exclusively to the Cloud & Hosted Services Business will be a Contributed Asset;

(vi) any liability that arises exclusively from or relates exclusively to the Cloud & Hosted Services Business (or that arises exclusively from or relates exclusively to any Contributed Asset) shall be an Assumed Liability; and

(vii) with respect to any asset (including any Contract, other than the office leases that are addressed in the preceding clause (ii)) that is not used exclusively in or relate exclusively to either the Cloud & Hosted Services Business or the Acquired Business (any such asset, a “Shared Asset”) or any liability that does not arise exclusively from or relate exclusively to the Cloud & Hosted Services Business or the Acquired Business (any such liability, a “Shared Liability”), Seller and Purchaser will work together in good faith to allocate such assets and liabilities in a fair and equitable manner, taking into account (A) the business in which such Shared Asset is primarily used or to which such Shared Asset primarily relates, (B) the business from which such Shared Liability primarily arose or to which such Shared Liability primarily relates, (C) the relative value and importance of such Shared Asset to the Cloud & Hosted Services Business as compared to its value and importance to the Acquired Business after the Closing, (D) in the case of any Contract that is a Shared Asset, the ease of allocating the benefits and obligations under such Contract to one business or the other as contemplated by Section 5.14, (E) the relative costs which the Cloud & Hosted Services Business and the Acquired Business will incur to replace such Shared Asset if such Shared Asset is not allocated to it and (F) such other considerations they may deem appropriate.

For each Shared Contract, the Transition Services Agreement shall provide for a mutually agreeable arrangement by which each applicable Party that is not a party to such Contract following the Closing would be able to obtain the benefits and assume the obligations to or under such Contract in accordance with such Contract with respect to the business operated by such Party (including by subcontracting, sub-licensing or sub-leasing to the applicable Party that is not a party to such Contract, or by an arrangement under which the Party that is a party to such Contract would enforce for the benefit of such other Party, any and all rights of such Party that is a party to the Contract against a third party thereto), in each case without xxxx-up or premium except as except as expressly provided in the Transition Services Agreement, with the Party that is not a party to such Contract assuming the obligations to such third party thereto with respect to the business operated by such Party, in each case without xxxx-up or premium except as expressly provided in the Transition Services Agreement.

POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

6.1 Tax Election.

(a) Seller shall (and, as necessary, cause any Person that is treated as the owner of such Shares for Income Tax purposes to) join with Purchaser in making, and Seller and Purchaser shall take any and all action necessary to effect, a timely election under Code Section 338(h)(10) (and any corresponding election under applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law) with respect to the purchase by the Purchaser of the Shares (the “338(h)(10) Election”). The following provisions shall govern certain Tax matters relating to or resulting from the 338(h)(10) Election, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2.

(b) Purchaser shall prepare IRS Form 8023 (“Form 8023”) and any corresponding state, local or foreign Tax forms and shall furnish such forms to Seller, for Seller’s completion and execution, no less than ten (10) days prior to the date such forms are required to be filed with any Governmental Authority; provided, that Purchaser shall deliver Form 8023 to Seller, for Seller’s completion and execution, no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall (and, as necessary, cause any Person that is treated as the owner of such Shares for Income Tax purposes to) promptly and properly complete and execute all such forms Purchaser provides to Seller and return the appropriately completed and executed copies to Purchaser for timely filing by Purchaser with the applicable Governmental Authority no less than five (5) days prior to the date such forms are required to be filed with any Governmental Authority; provided, that Seller shall return the appropriately completed and executed copy of Form 8023 to Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date, in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

(c) The Purchase Price, the liabilities of the Company and any other relevant items (the “338(h)(10) Consideration”) shall be allocated among the assets of the Company (the “Assets”) in accordance with this Section 6.1(c) (the “Allocation”). As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event within one hundred eighty (180) days thereof, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller a draft Allocation in accordance with Code Section 338(h)(10) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “Draft Allocation”). If Seller does not deliver to Purchaser a written objection to the Draft Allocation, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for any such objection, within thirty (30) days after their receipt of the Draft Allocation, then the Draft Allocation shall become final and binding upon the Parties (the “Final Allocation”). If Seller timely delivers such objection to Purchaser, then Seller and Purchaser shall work in good faith to resolve any dispute, and if all items of dispute are so resolved, then the Draft Allocation shall be amended accordingly and shall become the Final Allocation. If any dispute with respect to the Draft Allocation remains unresolved for a period of twenty (20) days after Purchaser receives Seller’s objection notice, then Purchaser and Seller shall submit only the remaining disputed items to a the Accounting Arbitrator for determination. The Accounting Arbitrator’s determination as to each such disputed item shall be binding on the Parties, and the Draft Allocation shall be amended in accordance with the Accounting Arbitrator’s determination and shall become the Final Allocation. Purchaser shall prepare IRS Form 8883 (and any similar form for purposes of state, local or foreign Tax Law) for each of “Old Target” and “New Target” (as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations 1.338(h)(10)-1) consistent with the Final Allocation, and Purchaser, on behalf of the Company, shall timely file or cause to be filed such Form 8883 and other forms with the appropriate Governmental Authority. If any adjustment is subsequently made to the 338(h)(10) Consideration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Seller agrees to execute and deliver promptly to Purchaser such other Tax forms relating to the 338(h)(10) Election as Purchaser may reasonably request, and Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser to file any and all forms with respect to the 338(h)(10) Election. The Form 8883 and other forms shall be binding on Seller, the Company and their respective Affiliates for all Tax purposes, and each such Person shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Form 8883 and other forms; provided, however, that (i) the amount realized by Seller may differ from the amount allocated hereunder to reflect transaction costs that reduce the amount realized for Income Tax purposes and (ii) Purchaser’s cost for the assets that it is deemed to acquire may differ from the amount allocated hereunder to reflect the inclusion in

the total cost of items (for example, capitalized acquisition costs) not included in the amount so allocated. None of Seller, the Company, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates shall take any position on any Tax Return, before any Governmental Authority or in any Proceeding relating to Taxes that is in any way inconsistent with the Form 8883.

(d) Seller shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other Tax item resulting from the 338(h)(10) Election on Seller’s Tax Returns to the extent and in the manner required by applicable Law, and shall timely file such Tax Returns and pay the Taxes reported on such Tax Returns. Seller shall also be responsible for and shall pay any Tax imposed on the Company attributable to the making of the 338(h)(10) Election, including any Tax imposed under Treasury Regulations Section 1.338(h)(10)-1(d)(2).

6.2 Tax Matters.

(a) Preparation of Tax Returns.

(i) Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall (A) prepare and timely file (or cause the Company to prepare and timely file) all Tax Returns of the Company due (after taking into account all appropriate extensions) on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Returns”), all consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Returns with respect to Income Taxes that include Seller and the Company (the “Consolidated Returns”) and all other Tax Returns with respect to Income Taxes of the Company with a taxable year ending on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Other Income Tax Returns”, and, together with the Consolidated Returns and the Pre-Closing Tax Returns, the “Seller Prepared Returns”) and (B) timely pay (or cause the Company to timely pay) all Taxes that are shown as payable with respect to such Seller Prepared Returns. All Seller Prepared Returns shall be prepared in accordance with existing procedures, practices, and accounting methods of the Company, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Each Seller Prepared Return shall be submitted to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review and comment at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date of such Seller Prepared Return (taking into account extensions); provided, that with respect to any Consolidated Return, Seller shall only be required to deliver a pro forma Tax Return for the Company. Seller shall incorporate any reasonable comments made by Purchaser in such Seller Prepared Return prior to filing.

(ii) Purchaser shall cause the Company to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods (other than the Consolidated Returns and the Other Income Tax Returns) that are due after the Closing Date (the “Purchaser Prepared Returns”). To the extent that a Purchaser Prepared Return relates solely to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, such Tax Return shall be prepared in accordance with existing procedures, practices, and accounting methods of the Company, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Each Purchaser Prepared Return shall be submitted to the Seller for the Seller’s review and comment at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date of such Purchaser Prepared Return (taking into account extensions). Purchaser shall consider any comments of the Seller in good faith. No failure or delay in the Purchaser providing Purchaser Prepared Returns for Seller to

review shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

(iii) Seller shall claim all Income Tax deductions permitted to be claimed by applicable Law with respect to the payment of any Company Transaction Expenses and the payment of any Company Indebtedness at or after the Closing pursuant to Section 1.3(a) (except with respect to any Indebtedness identified on Schedule 1.2(g)) in the final Tax Returns of the Company for the taxable period ending on the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall not take any action, or permit the Company to take any action, inconsistent therewith, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b) Apportionment of Taxes. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes of the Company (i) based on or measured by income or receipts, sales or use, employment, or withholding for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and (ii) the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period prior to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(c) Cooperation. Purchaser, the Company and Seller shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) (i) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return of the Company, (ii) assist in any audit or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company, (iii) make available any information, records or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company, and (iv) provide any information necessary or reasonably requested to allow Purchaser or the Company to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Law.

(d) Tax Contests. Purchaser shall notify Seller within thirty (30) days upon the receipt of any notice, or becoming aware, of any audit or other similar examination with respect to Taxes for which Seller would reasonably be expected to be liable pursuant to this Agreement (a “Tax Contest”); provided, however, no failure or delay of Purchaser in providing such notice shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of Seller pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that Seller is materially and adversely prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay. Purchaser shall control, or cause the Company to control, the conduct of any Tax Contest; provided, however, that Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest to the extent it relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Tax Contest relates solely to a Consolidated Return, Seller shall have the right to control such Tax Contest.

6.3 Transfer Taxes. Purchaser and Seller shall each be liable for one-half (1/2) of all sales, use, transfer, stamp, duties, documentary, registration, recording and other similar Taxes and related fees and penalties incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). Purchaser shall file or shall cause the Company to

file all required Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes. To the extent practicable, the amount of such Transfer Taxes shall be calculated prior to the Closing Date, and payment shall be made by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, to settle the obligations provided in this Section 6.3. To the extent Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser or the Company, on the other hand, pays or becomes obligated to pay any such Transfer Taxes after the Closing that was not identified and paid at the Closing in accordance with the preceding sentence, Seller or Purchaser may, from time to time or at any time, notify the other of such unpaid Transfer Taxes, which notice shall be accompanied by evidence of such the payment or obligation to pay such Transfer Taxes and the amount of such Transfer Taxes. Promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall pay to the Party that delivered such notice its proportionate share of such Transfer Taxes.

6.4 Access to Books and Records. From and after the Closing until the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, provide Seller and its authorized representatives with reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the books, records (including accountants’ work papers), properties, facilities and employees of the Company with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date in connection with financial reporting, Tax Return preparation or Tax compliance matters of Seller (whether or not relating to periods prior to the Closing Date). Purchaser and Seller agree that any access or other rights under this Section 6.4 shall be provided only after reasonable advance written request by Seller, and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and the Company so that such access or other rights do not unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Company. Subject to Section 6.2, the Parties agree and acknowledge that Purchaser may condition its obligations under this Section 6.4 on receipt from Seller of a customary agreement restricting use and disclosure by Seller of the information provided by Purchaser or the Company to Seller or otherwise obtained by Seller in exercising its rights under this Section 6.4. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Seller, Purchaser shall not permit the Company, for a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date, to destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of its material books and records, or any material portions thereof, relating to periods prior to the Closing Date and matters relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without first giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Seller and offering to surrender to Seller such books and records or such portions thereof.

6.5 Restrictive Covenants of Seller. As a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees as follows:

(a) Confidentiality. Seller shall not, and shall cause each of Seller’s Affiliates to not, at any time after the Closing, disclose to any Person or use for any purpose other than exercising Seller’s rights and performing Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Seller is a party, any Confidential Information; provided, however, that Seller and Seller’s Affiliates may make such disclosures of Confidential Information as are required under applicable Law, in each case as long as Seller (i) provides reasonable advance notice of such requirement to Purchaser so that Purchaser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, (ii) reasonably cooperates with Purchaser to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be

accorded to such information and (iii) discloses only such information as Seller is advised by outside legal counsel in writing that Seller is legally required to disclose.

(b) Non-Solicitation.

(i) Seller shall not, and shall cause each of Seller’s Affiliates to not, directly or indirectly, at any time during the period from the Closing Date through the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, (A) solicit for employment or in any other way induce or attempt to induce to leave the employ of or engagement by Purchaser or the Company, any Person who is, on the date of such solicitation or attempted inducement, a director, officer, employee or consultant to Purchaser or the Company; or (B) induce or attempt to induce any Person who is a director, officer, employee or consultant to Purchaser or the Company to leave the employ of or terminate or breach their respective agreements with Purchaser or the Company, or in any other way deliberately interfere with the relationship between Purchaser or the Company and any such Person; provided, however, that no general advertisement or general solicitation of employment not targeted to the directors, officers, employees or consultants of Purchaser or the Company shall be deemed to be a solicitation of such individuals in violation of this Section 6.5(b)(i); or

(ii) Seller shall not, and shall cause each of MegaPath Holding Corporation, CloudCo and any future Subsidiary of MegaPath Holding Corporation to not, directly or indirectly, at any time during the period from the Closing Date through the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (A) solicit, attempt to solicit, or assist any other Person in soliciting or attempting to solicit, any business of the type conducted by the Acquired Business or by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date from any Person who is a customer or referral source of the Company with respect to the Acquired Business as of the Closing Date or who was a customer or referral source of the Company with respect to the Acquired Business at any time during the six (6)-month period preceding the Closing Date or (B) take any action to deliberately interfere with the relationship between the Company and Person who is a lessor, licensor, customer, supplier, licensee or other business associate or relation of the Company with respect to the Acquired Business prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.5(b)(ii) shall not apply with respect to VoIP services (and only VoIP services) provided by CloudCo.

(c) Authority for Judicial Enforcement and Revision. Seller agrees and acknowledges that the covenants of Seller set forth in this Section 6.5 (i) are reasonable in geographic and temporal scope and in all other respects and (ii) have been made in order to induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement or consummated the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case but for the covenants of Seller contained in this Section 6.5. If, at any time of enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 6.5, a Governmental Authority determines that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are not enforceable under applicable Law, the Parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area (as applicable) permitted by applicable Law shall be substituted for the duration, area or scope (as applicable) stated herein and the Governmental Authority shall be authorized by the Parties to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover such maximum duration, area or scope

(as applicable). This Section 6.5(c) shall be read in conjunction with (and not to the exclusion of) Section 10.6 (Severability).

(d) Injunctive Relief. The Parties agree that any breach or attempted breach of this Section 6.5 would cause irreparable injury to Purchaser, which cannot be adequately compensated in monetary damages. Therefore, Purchaser shall have, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any of the other rights and remedies available hereunder, the right to have the provisions of this Section 6.5 specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction by way of an injunction or other equitable relief. Purchaser shall not be required to post a bond or other security or to prove actual damages or the inadequacy of monetary damages in connection with its efforts to obtain equitable relief concerning this Section 6.5.

(e) Exercise of Certain Rights. With respect to each Person who is an executive of the Company on the date of this Agreement and who will cease to be an employee of the Company at any time at or prior to the Closing in order to become an employee of Seller, MegaPath Holding Corporation or CloudCo, Seller shall take such actions as shall be necessary and appropriate to either (i) ensure that the Company will remain an express third party beneficiary of any contractual covenant not to compete, covenant not to solicit or similar agreement that is in effect with the Company on the date of this Agreement or (ii) enforce, or cause MegaPath Holding Corporation or CloudCo to enforce, such restrictive covenants from time-to-time at the request of the Company for the benefit of the Company as the same may be applicable to the Acquired Business, and Seller shall not, and shall cause MegaPath Holding Corporation and CloudCo not to, waive such restrictive covenants as the same may be applicable to the Acquired Business.

6.6 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any Party, each other Party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as the requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable (and at the cost and expense of such requesting Party, except to the extent such cost or expense constitutes a Loss for which such Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article VIII) to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if, after the Closing, Purchaser or the Company, on the one hand, or Seller or any Affiliate of Seller identify (i) any tangible or intangible property or other asset in the possession of Seller or its Affiliates that is owned, or has been used or held for use in the operation of the Acquired Business by the Company, other than any such property or asset that is shared between the Acquired Business and the Cloud & Hosted Services Business and is addressed in the Transition Services Agreement, or (ii) any Contract to which Seller or its Affiliates is a party that Purchaser or the Company confirms is intended to be for the benefit of the Company, other than any such Contract that is shared between the Acquired Business and the Cloud & Hosted Services Business and is addressed in the Transition Services Agreement, then, in each case, unless specifically addressed in the Contribution Agreement, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, as the case may be, deliver or convey such property or other asset, or assign such Contract, to the Company, accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer or assignment, as the case may be, but without any further consideration being required from

Purchaser or the Company in connection with such conveyance, delivery or assignment, as the case may be.

6.7 Netco Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, all funds remaining in the third-party escrow account established in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Netco Purchase Agreement are for the benefit of, and shall be released to, Seller and its Affiliates other than the Company, and are not for the benefit of the Company. Subject to the provisions of Article VIII, Seller and its Affiliates other than the Company shall control any Proceeding related to such escrowed funds or any claim for indemnification under the Netco Purchase Agreement, and Purchaser and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at Seller’s expense, to cooperate and assist Seller and its Affiliates in any such matter that arises after the Closing, including providing such access to certain information in accordance with in Section 6.4 as may be reasonably requested by Seller or its Affiliates in connection with any such matter.

6.8 Use of Trademarks; Name Change. Purchaser acknowledges that all rights of the Company in and to any of the MegaPath Marks shall be transferred to an Affiliate of Seller as part of the Divestiture. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall take all actions necessary to (i) change the legal name of the Company to a name that does not contain the word “MegaPath” or any similar word and (ii) ensure that neither Purchaser, nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company) market or brand any products or services of the Company using any MegaPath Marks or otherwise use the MegaPath Marks at any time for any reason; provided, however, that Purchaser and the Company shall have the right, with respect to inventory, supplies, marketing materials, signs and other items used in the Acquired Business immediately prior to the Closing that contain or display MegaPath Marks, to use the MegaPath Marks in the manner and to the extent used by the Acquired Business prior to the Closing, and Seller hereby grants to Purchaser and the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free license and right to use the MegaPath Marks in such manner and to such extent, for such period of time as is necessary to exhaust all such inventory and supplies and replace such signs, marketing materials and other items with similar assets that do not contain or display any MegaPath Marks. Purchaser shall take, and cause the Company to take, such actions as are necessary to replace such signs, marketing materials and other items as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing and to exhaust such inventory and supplies in the ordinary course of business. All links between any domain name included within the Acquired Business and any domain names of Seller or any of its Affiliates shall be removed as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, and after the Closing, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller in taking all actions necessary to complete these actions.

6.9 Financial Statements for the Acquired Business. On or before April 15, 2015, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser (a) the unaudited balance sheets of the Acquired Business as at December 31, 2012 and 2013, together with the related unaudited statements of income, stockholder’s equity and cash flows of the Acquired Business for the years then ended and (b) the unaudited statements of stockholder’s equity and cash flows of the Acquired Business for the year ended December 31, 2014 (collectively, the “Prior Carve-Out Financial Statements”). Except as set forth in Section 2.6(a)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, each of the Prior Carve-Out Financial Statements when delivered will have been, (a)

prepared in accordance with the accounting methods, practices, policies and principles set forth on Schedule 1.5 consistently applied as at the dates thereof and for the periods covered thereby, and (b) prepared, in all material respects, based upon the books and records of the Company, and each of the Prior Carve-Out Financial Statements when delivered will present, fairly the financial condition of the Acquired Business as of its respective date and the results of operations and cash flows of the Acquired Business for the periods then ended, as applicable.

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival Period. The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall terminate on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that: (a) the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.17 (Tax) shall survive the Closing until sixty (60) days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (after giving effect to any extension or tolling thereof) for the matters described in such representations and warranties and (b) the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.1 (Existence; Good Standing), Section 2.2 (Capitalization), Section 2.3 (Authority; Enforceability), Section 2.5 (Subsidiaries), Section 2.25 (Brokers), Section 3.1 (Existence; Good Standing), Section 3.2 (Authority; Enforceability), Section 3.6 (Title to Shares), Section 4.1 (Existence; Good Standing), Section 4.2 (Authority; Enforceability), and Section 4.8 (Brokers Fees) shall survive the Closing indefinitely (the representations and warranties referred to in this clause (b) and the preceding clause (a) are collectively the “Fundamental Representations”). Each covenant and agreement of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall each survive the Closing and shall terminate on the date sixty (60) days after the running of the applicable statute of limitations (after giving effect to any extension or tolling thereof) with respect to the subject matter of such covenant and agreement, except for those covenants and agreements that contain specific survival periods (which shall each survive the Closing and shall terminate on the last day of such specific survival period).

8.2 Expiration of Indemnification. No Notice of Claim (a) concerning a breach of or inaccuracy in a representation and warranty contained in this Agreement or a non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement made by or to be performed by a Party set forth in this Agreement may be delivered by a Person seeking indemnification after expiration of the representation and warranty or covenant and agreement with respect to which such indemnification claim is being made, as provided in Section 8.1, or (b) concerning any of the matters set forth in Section 8.3(a)(iv), (v) or (vi) may be delivered by a Person seeking indemnification after the date ninety (90) days after the running of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the subject matter of such indemnification; provided, however, in the case of each of the preceding clauses (a) and (b), if a Notice of Claim concerning any of the foregoing matters has been delivered in accordance with Section 8.4(a) or Section 8.5(a) by a Person seeking indemnification prior to the expiration of the period set forth in the preceding clauses (a) or (b), as applicable, the right to indemnification with respect to the matter set forth in such Notice of Claim and any other claim(s) arising out of, resulting from or relating to the facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification shall survive until such later date as each such claim for indemnification has been fully and finally resolved in accordance with this Article VIII.

8.3 Indemnification by the Parties.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Seller hereby agrees, from and after the Closing, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, Parent,

each of Purchaser’s and Parent’s Affiliates and each of the officers, directors, managers, members, partners, equityholders, employees, representatives, agents, successors and assigns of Purchaser, Parent and such Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and pay on behalf of and reimburse each Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of, any and all Losses incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid, directly or indirectly, by any Purchaser Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from or relating to (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation and warranty made by the Company or Seller in Article II or by Seller in Article III, (ii) any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement made by or to be performed by Seller set forth in this Agreement, (iii) any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement made by or to be performed by the Company at or prior to the Closing, (iv) any Indemnified Taxes, (v) any Liability of the Company arising or relating to the Pre-Closing Period that is not primarily related to the conduct of the Acquired Business, (vi) any Liabilities that are “Assumed Liabilities” as that term is defined in the Contribution Agreement or (vii) any Liability of the Company arising out of or relating to the claims referred to in Section 2.13 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule under the heading “Open Litigation” and identified as “Enqwest, LLC” in the column titled “Name”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, no Seller Indemnified Party will be a Purchaser Indemnified Party by reason of such Seller Indemnified Party’s position with the Company or otherwise.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Parent and Purchaser hereby agree, from and after the Closing, to jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, each of Seller’s Affiliates and each of its and their respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, equityholders, employees, representatives, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and pay on behalf of and reimburse each Seller Indemnified Party in respect of, any and all Losses incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid, directly or indirectly, by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from or relating to (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation and warranty made by Parent or Purchaser in Article IV or (ii) any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement made by or to be performed by Parent or Purchaser set forth in this Agreement.

8.4 Indemnification Claim Procedure.

(a) If any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable (in the capacity as a Person seeking indemnification under this Article VIII, the “Indemnified Party”), obtains actual knowledge of any matter not involving a Third Party Claim that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes will entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnification from Purchaser or Seller under this Article VIII (in the capacity as a Person against whom indemnification is sought under this Article VIII, the “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly thereafter deliver to the Indemnifying Party a notice thereof (a “Notice of Claim”) describing such matter in reasonable detail and, to the extent reasonably estimable, the estimated Losses resulting therefrom; provided, however, that any failure to give such notification on a timely basis or to provide any particular details therein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that such failure to provide, delay in providing or omission of any particular detail actually prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend against such matter.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall respond to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following the date that the Notice of Claim is delivered to pursuant to Section 8.4(a) (the “Response Period”), specifying whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim(s) described in the Notice of Claim, describe in reasonable detail the basis for each such dispute and include reasonable supporting materials (a “Claim Response”). If the Indemnifying Party fails to give a Claim Response within the Response Period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed not to dispute the claim(s) described in the related Notice of Claim. If the Indemnifying Party gives a Claim Response within the Response Period but does not in such Claim Response dispute all of the claim(s) made in the related Notice of Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed not to dispute the undisputed claim(s) described in the related Notice of Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to dispute any claim described in a Notice of Claim, whether by failing to give a timely Claim Response or otherwise, then, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.6, the amount of Losses alleged in such Notice of Claim shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall be paid the amount specified in the Notice of Claim as provided in Section 8.8 (it being acknowledged that the amount of any estimated Losses shall be revised by the Indemnified Party from time to time as the same are determined, all of which Losses shall be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party). If the Indemnifying Party delivers a Claim Response within the Response Period indicating that the Indemnifying Party disputes one or more of the matters identified in the Notice of Claim, Purchaser and Seller shall promptly meet in good faith to resolve the dispute. If Purchaser and Seller do not resolve a dispute regarding a claim within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Claim Response, either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party may submit the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution. Upon resolution of such dispute, whether by agreement or by a court of competent jurisdiction, if it is determined that any indemnification payment is required pursuant to this Article VIII such amount shall be paid to the Indemnified Party as provided in Section 8.8.

8.5 Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a) With respect to any matter for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from an Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII that relates to a Proceeding or Claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall provide to the Indemnifying Party a Notice of Claim relating to such Third Party Claim promptly after receiving written notification of such Proceeding or Claim; provided, however, that any failure to give such notification on a timely basis shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that such failure to provide or delay in providing actually prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend against such Third Party Claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and pursue the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, upon delivery to the Indemnified Party, within thirty (30) days after notice of the Third Party Claim has been delivered to the Indemnifying Party, of an acknowledgement and agreement that (i) any Losses resulting therefrom are indemnifiable Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.6) and (ii) that the Indemnifying Party shall post any bond or other security

to the extent required in connection with the defense or appeal of such Third Party Claim (an “Assumption of Defense Notice”), provided that the Indemnifying Party shall have an additional ninety (90) days after the delivery of such notice to revoke such acknowledgement and agreement with respect to any portion of such Losses based on matters that become known to the Indemnifying Party during such period and which indicate that such Losses would not be indemnifiable Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII (and if a notice of such revocation is not delivered by the Indemnifying Party during such ninety (90) day period, such Losses shall conclusively be deemed indemnifiable Losses). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim if (i) such Third Party Claim involves a purported class action, (ii) such Third Party Claim involves criminal allegations, (iii) such Third Party Claim demands injunctive or other equitable relief that, if granted, would have an adverse effect on any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or their respective businesses (if a Purchaser Indemnified Party is the Indemnified Party) or any of the Seller Indemnified Parties or their respective businesses (if a Seller Indemnified Party is the Indemnified Party), (iv) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the Losses associated with such Third Party Claim are likely to exceed the then-remaining amount of the Indemnification Cap or (v) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate for a single counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim under applicable standards of legal ethics.

(c) Unless and until the Indemnified Party receives, with respect to any Third Party Claim, an Assumption of Defense Notice from the Indemnifying Party within the thirty (30)-day period provided above or if, at any time after the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party fails diligently to defend such Third Party Claim (i) the Indemnified Party may, but shall not be obligated to, fully assume, commence and pursue its defense of such Third Party Claim in any such manner as it may deem appropriate, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall thereafter promptly inform the Indemnifying Party of all material developments related to such Third Party Claim (including copying the Indemnifying Party on court filings and correspondence); provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to turn over any attorney-client privileged information, (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim, including the retention and (upon the Indemnified Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnified Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees and other representatives and advisors available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and (iv) the Indemnified Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, any attorneys’ fees and expenses and other costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim prior to the time at which such Third Party Claim has been assumed by the Indemnifying Party as provided herein or during any subsequent time in which the Indemnified Party is conducting its own defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.5 shall be Losses hereunder.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, it shall control and direct the defense of such Third Party Claim and the cost of such defense shall

constitute Losses of the Indemnified Party, with the indemnification by the Indemnifying Party against all such Losses being subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.6, to the extent applicable, but the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party. During any time period in which the Indemnifying Party is defending a Third Party Claim (i) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly inform the Indemnified Party of all material developments related to such Third Party Claim (including copying the Indemnified Party on court filings and correspondence) and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim, including the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees and other representatives and advisors available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (A) the compromise or settlement does not involve any statement, finding or admission of any fault of, breach of Contract by, or violation of Law by, the Indemnified Party, (B) the sole relief provided in the compromise or settlement is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and does not include any requirement that the Indemnified Party take or refrain from taking any actions other than compliance with any non-disclosure obligations related to the terms of such settlement contained in the settlement agreement, (C) the compromise or settlement includes an unconditional and irrevocable release of the Indemnified Party, (D) the settlement agreement includes a reasonable confidentiality obligation by the Third Party claimant of the terms of the settlement and (E) the Indemnified Party is a party to, or an express Third Party beneficiary of, the settlement agreement, entitled to enforce such settlement agreement. The Indemnified Party shall have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claims made without its consent (if such consent is required by this Section 8.5) and any such compromise or settlement shall be void.

(e) This Section 8.5 shall not apply to Tax Contests, which shall be governed by Section 6.2(d).

8.6 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Purchaser Limitations.

(i) Subject to Section 8.6(e), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) if the Losses associated with such claim (or group of related claims arising out of the same or similar circumstances) are less than Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) (the “De Minimus Claim Amount”).

(ii) Subject to Section 8.6(e), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses of the

Purchaser Indemnified Parties for all claims relating to Losses that would otherwise be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Threshold Amount”), after which point Seller shall be required to provide indemnification with respect to all indemnifiable Losses with respect to any such claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) from dollar one. In addition, subject to Section 8.6(e), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i), Section 8.3(a)(iii) or Section 8.3(a)(iv) to the extent that all claims made under any or all of such Sections are in an aggregate amount in excess of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Indemnification Cap”).

(b) Seller Limitations. Subject to Section 8.6(e), the Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(i) (i) unless the Losses associated with such claim (or group of related claims arising out of the same or similar circumstances) exceed the De Minimus Claim Amount, (ii) unless and until the Losses associated with all claims for indemnification made pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(i) incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties aggregate at least the Threshold Amount, after which point Purchaser shall be required to provide indemnification with respect to all indemnifiable Losses with respect to any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(i) from dollar one or (iii) in an aggregate amount in excess of the Indemnification Cap.

(c) Other Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VIII or elsewhere in this Agreement, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to receive indemnification under this Article VIII for any Losses relating to (i) any multiple of any direct Losses or (ii) any special, exemplary or punitive damages; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply if, and solely to the extent that, an Indemnified Party is seeking to obtain through indemnification reimbursement of such Losses resulting from an award in a Third Party Claim against such Indemnified Party of such Losses.

(d) No Double Recovery. Notwithstanding the fact that any Indemnified Party may have the right to assert claims for indemnification under or in respect of more than one provision of this Agreement in respect of any fact, event, condition or circumstance, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the amount of any Losses suffered by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates more than once, regardless of whether such Losses may be as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Indemnified Party shall be able to recover any Loss for which it is otherwise entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if such Loss has already been taken into account in determining the Closing Cash Consideration or in determining the Net Increase or Net Decrease, as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.5.

(e) Exceptions; Overall Indemnity Cap. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the provisions of Sections 8.6(a) and (b) shall not apply with respect to any Losses arising out of, resulting from or relating to any action or inaction that constitutes fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, (ii) the De Minimus Claim Amount and the Threshold Amount shall not apply

to any indemnification claims made with respect to the Fundamental Representations and (iii) the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to any indemnification claims made with respect to the Fundamental Representations and any such indemnification with respect to Fundamental Representations shall be excluded in calculating when the Indemnification Cap is reached, and instead the maximum aggregate amount of Losses for which indemnification is required to be made with respect to a Fundamental Representation by Seller pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) or Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(i) shall be the Purchase Price.

8.7 Determination of Loss Amount.

(a) For purposes of determining (i) whether there has been a breach of any representation and warranty of Seller set forth in Article II or Article III and (ii) the Losses for any such breach, all materiality qualifications contained in such representations and warranties (however they may be phrased and including the word “material”, the term “Material Adverse Effect” and words or terms of similar import) shall be ignored and not given any effect; provided, however, that materiality qualifications shall not be ignored, and they shall be given effect, for purposes of the definition of Permitted Liens or Material Contracts and any use of such terms in this Agreement.

(b) Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, in good faith, diligently seek recovery, at its or their own expense, of all insurance proceeds from insurers with respect to all Losses with respect to which any Purchaser Indemnified Party makes a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII; provided that (i) the expenses incurred by Purchaser or the Company in connection with such recovery and the net present value of any increase in premiums of the applicable insurance policies relating to the claims so made shall be a Loss related to such claim for indemnification and (ii) no Indemnifying Party shall delay making any payment under this Article VIII pending resolution of any such insurance claim. To the extent that Purchaser or the Company receives any amount under insurance coverage with respect to a matter for which a Purchaser Indemnified Party has previously obtained payment in indemnification under this Article VIII from Seller, Purchaser shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such insurance proceeds, pay and reimburse to Seller for any prior indemnification payment (up to the amount of the insurance proceeds) by deliver of cash in such amount.

(c) The representations and warranties made by the Company and Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser and Parent, on the other hand, in this Agreement are made with the knowledge and expectation that Seller is (in the case of representations and warranties made by Purchaser and Parent) and Purchaser is (in the case of representations and warranties made by the Company and Seller) placing reliance thereon in entering into, and performing its obligations under, this Agreement.

8.8 Source of Recovery; Payment of Amounts Due.

(a) Subject to the application of Section 8.6, within five (5) Business Days after it is determined pursuant to this Article VIII that any amount is due to any Purchaser Indemnified Party under Section 8.3(a), such amount shall be satisfied (i) if the amount of such payment is less than the aggregate amount of the Deferred Cash Payment (as reduced by any

prior application of this Section 8.8 prior to the time of such payment), then by a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the Deferred Cash Payment to be made pursuant to Section 1.3(d) and (ii) if the amount of such payment is equal to or greater than the aggregate amount of the Deferred Cash Payment (as reduced by any prior application of this Section 8.8 prior to the time of such payment), then by a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the remainder of the Deferred Cash Payment to be made pursuant to Section 1.3(d), with the amount of any excess paid by Seller to Purchaser within such five (5)-Business Day period, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. For the avoidance of doubt if there are any unresolved indemnification claims by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties outstanding on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser may defer until the resolution thereof the payment to Seller of that portion of the Deferred Cash Payment equivalent to reduction that would occur therein if all such unresolved indemnification claims were resolved in favor of Purchaser.

(b) Subject to the application of Section 8.6, within five (5) Business Days after it is determined pursuant to this Article VIII that any amount is due to any Seller Indemnified Party hereunder, such amount shall be paid by Purchaser to such Seller Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(c) If any payment required under this Section 8.8 is not made in full within five (5) Business Days after it is determined under this Article VIII that such payment is due, the unpaid payment shall thereafter bear simple interest at a rate equal to the prime rate in effect from time to time (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus six (6) percentage points, until paid in full.

8.9 Exclusive Remedy. The Parties agree that, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedies of (a) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of the Company and Seller contained in this Agreement or any non-fulfillment or breach of any of the covenants and agreements of the Company or Seller contained in this Agreement and (b) the Seller Indemnified Parties for any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any non-fulfillment or breach of any of the covenants and agreements of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, in each case, whether based in contract or tort or any other theory of liability, are the indemnification and reimbursement obligations of the Parties set forth in this Article VIII. The provisions of this Section 8.9 shall not, however, prevent or limit the remedies (i) contemplated by Section 1.5, (ii) contemplated by Section 10.12 with respect to specific performance or injunctive relief for breaches of covenants, (iii) contemplated by Section 6.2 with respect to Taxes or (iv) for any claim based upon fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the limitation set forth in this Section 8.9 shall not apply to any of the Transaction Documents other than this Agreement and (B) to the extent that any matter is subject to indemnification under alternative provisions of this Agreement, an Indemnified Party may seek such indemnification under such alternative provisions of this Agreement, but such Indemnified Party may not recover duplicate amounts for its Losses relating to such matter.

8.10 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article VIII shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required under applicable Law.

ARTICLE IX

9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated herein may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the written mutual consent of Purchaser and Seller;

(b) By Purchaser, upon a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation and warranty of the Company or Seller set forth in Article II or Article III, or upon a upon a breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company or Seller set forth in this Agreement, in each case such that the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 8.1(a), (b) or (c) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or inaccuracy; provided, however, that if such breach or inaccuracy is curable by the Company or Seller through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof is delivered to the Seller, then Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) prior to the end of such twenty (20)-day period so long as the Company and Seller, as applicable, continue to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach, inaccuracy or non-fulfillment (and then only if such breach, inaccuracy or non-fulfillment has not been cured);

(c) by Seller, (I) upon a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties of Purchaser set forth in Article IV, or upon a breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, in each case such that the condition to Closing set forth in Section 7.2(a) or (b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or inaccuracy; provided, however, that if such breach or inaccuracy is curable by Purchaser through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof is delivered to Purchaser, then Seller may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(c) prior to the end of such twenty (20)-day period so long as Purchaser continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach, inaccuracy or non-fulfillment (and then only if such breach, inaccuracy or non-fulfillment has not been cured) or (II) if the Marketing Period has been completed and the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 7.1 and Sections 7.2(c) and (d) are satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing, provided that such conditions are reasonably capable of being satisfied) and Purchaser is unable to satisfy its obligation to effect the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 1.4 because of a failure to have obtained the Financing;

(d) by either Purchaser or Seller, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before June 30, 2015 (or such other date to which Purchaser and Seller may agree in writing) (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d) shall not be available (i) to Purchaser at any time that there is a material breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or Purchaser is in material breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement of

Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, in each case such that the Seller’s conditions to Closing under Section 7.2 are not satisfied or (ii) to Seller at any time that there is a material breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of the Company or Seller contained in this Agreement or the Company or Seller is in material breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement of the Company or Seller set forth in this Agreement, in each case such that Purchaser’s conditions to Closing under Section 7.1 are not satisfied; or

(e) by either Seller or Purchaser, if any Governmental Authority shall have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the Closing and such Order or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided that (i) if Purchaser is the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e), Purchaser shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to remove such Order or other action and such Order or other action shall not have been principally caused by the breach by Purchaser of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement, and (ii) if Seller is the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e), Seller shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to remove such Order or other action, and such Order or other action shall not have been principally caused by the breach by the Company or Seller of the covenants or agreements of the Company and Seller under this Agreement.

9.2 Effect of Termination. Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, shall give written notice to the other of any termination by it of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 10.1(b), (c), (d) or (e), which notice shall identify the clause pursuant to which the termination is being effected. Upon delivery of such notice or upon a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(a), this Agreement will become null and void, and there will be no liability on the part of any Party, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, equityholders, representatives, agents or advisors, except that:

(a) any such termination shall not affect the Parties’ respective rights and obligations under Section 5.9 (publicity), this Section 9.2, Article X or the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which shall survive such termination; and

(b) if such termination results from the fraud of the Company or Seller, the willful or intentional failure of the Company or Seller to perform a covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or the willful or intentional breach by the Company or Seller of any of their respective representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, the Company and Seller shall be fully liable for any and all Losses incurred or suffered by Purchaser as a result of such fraud, failure or breach; and

(c) if such termination results from the fraud of Purchaser, the willful or intentional failure of Purchaser to perform a covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or the willful or intentional breach by Purchaser of any of its respective representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be fully liable for any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Company and Seller as a result of such fraud, failure or breach.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.9, each of the Parties shall have and retain all rights and remedies, at law or in equity, including rights to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief, arising out of or relating to a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance of Purchaser’s obligations to

consummate the Closing only in the event that each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) the Marketing Period has ended and all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Sections 7.2(c) and 7.2(d) have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing), (ii) Purchaser fails to complete the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 1.4 and (iii) the Company has confirmed in a written notice delivered to Purchaser that if specific performance is granted and the Financing is funded, then the Closing will occur.

Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Parties shall be entitled to a decree of specific performance to enforce the rights and obligations of the Parties from any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security or proving actual damages and without regard to the adequacy of any remedy at law.

Any capitalized term used but not defined in an annex or schedule to this Agreement have the meaning set forth in this Agreement. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and “hereof,” and words of similar import, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular article, section, subsection or other subdivision hereof unless expressly so limited herein. The words “either,” “or,” “neither,” “nor,” and “any” are not exclusive, and the word “or” is deemed to have the meaning “and/or”. The word “including” (in its various forms) means including without limitation. All references to “$” and dollars shall be deemed to refer to United States currency unless otherwise specifically provided.

The information contained in this Agreement and in the schedules hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any Party to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law or breach of Contract).

Exceptions or qualifications to any representations or warranties contained in the text thereof or schedules thereto shall not be construed as exceptions or qualifications to any other representation or warranty, except that the Parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to the Seller Disclosure Schedule, any exception to a representation and warranty of Seller that is disclosed in a section thereof under a caption referencing such representation and warranty shall be deemed to also be an exception to each other representation and warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement for which a separate section is provided in the Seller Disclosure Schedule, notwithstanding the absence of a cross reference thereto, if and to the extent that it would be reasonably apparent that such exception is applicable to such other representation and warranty.

10.15 Deliveries to Purchaser. Any document or item shall be deemed “provided” or “made available” by the Company to Purchaser for purposes of Article II and Article III if such document or item is included prior to the date of this Agreement in the electronic data rooms established by the Company at xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Exhibit B

FORM OF TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Transition Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of , 2015 (the “Effective Date”), by and between MegaPath Corporation, a Virginia Corporation (“MC”), and MegaPath Cloud Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CloudCo”), on the other hand. MC and CloudCo are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

RECITALS

A. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Global Telecom & Technology Americas, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“GTT”), is acquiring all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity interests in MC pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated February 19, 2015, by and among GTT, MC, MegaPath Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and GTT Communications, Inc. (the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.

B. As a condition to the consummation of the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, MC has contributed to CloudCo certain assets and liabilities that were directly related to MC’s voice and cloud services business (the “Cloud Business”) pursuant to a Contribution Agreement, dated , 2015 by and between MC and CloudCo (the “Contribution Agreement”). In connection with such contribution, MC has retained certain assets necessary for CloudCo to operate the Cloud Business on a stand-alone basis and MC, in anticipation of migrating certain systems and services to GTT, has transferred to CloudCo certain assets necessary for MC to conduct is remaining business on a stand-alone basis. Therefore, the Parties desire to provide transition services to one another to afford an opportunity for CloudCo to procure, on a stand-alone basis, the services to be provided by MC hereunder and for MC to transition to GTT the services to be provided by CloudCo hereunder. Accordingly, as a further condition to the consummation of the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement is being entered into by the Parties to define and to establish all transition services to be provided by the Parties following the Closing under the Purchase Agreement. This Agreement is being entered into pursuant to Section 5.14 of the Purchase Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and in the Purchase Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Transition Services.

a. Joint Services by the Parties. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Party those services set forth in the Joint Transition Service Schedules (the “Joint Transition Service Schedules”) attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Joint Transition Services”), for the period of time (unless otherwise terminated prior to the

conclusion of such period in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) (the “Time Period”) set forth in each Joint Transition Schedule.

b. CloudCo to MC Transition Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, CloudCo shall provide, or cause to be provided, to MC and/or its Affiliates those services set forth in the CloudCo Transition Service Schedules (the “CloudCo Transition Service Schedules”) attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “CloudCo Transition Services”), for the Time Period set forth in each CloudCo Transition Schedule.

c. MC to CloudCo Transition Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, MC shall provide, or cause to be provided, to CloudCo and/or its Affiliates those services set forth in the MC Transition Service Schedules (the “MC Transition Service Schedules”) attached hereto in Exhibit C and incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “MC Transition Services” and, together with the CloudCo Transition Services and the Joint Transition Services, the “Transition Services”), for the Time Period set forth in each MC Transition Schedule.

d. Identification of the Parties. The Parties, in their respective capacities as Transition Services providers (whether directly or indirectly) under Sections 1(a), 1(b), and 1(c), as applicable, are referred to herein from time to time as “Provider”, and in their (and on behalf of their respective affiliates’) respective capacities as recipients of Transition Services under Section 1(a), Section 1(b) and Section 1(c), as applicable, are referred to herein from time to time as “Recipient”.

e. Cost for the Provision of the Transition Services. For certain of the Transition Services, there will be no charge between the Parties for the work performed in connection with such Transition Services other than certain pre-approved third party expenses that will be billed on a pass-through basis with no xxxx-up and listed on the applicable Transition Service Schedules (the “No Charge Transition Services”). For certain of the Transition Services, the Recipient shall bear the cost for the provision of such Transition Services (the “Recipient Funded Transition Services”), and the applicable Transition Service Schedule shall set forth the cost and/or methodology for calculating such cost. For certain of the other Transition Services, Provider shall bear the cost for the provision of such Transition Services (the “Provider Funded Transition Services”). For each Transition Service, the applicable Transition Service Schedule shall state whether such Transition Service is a No Charge Transition Service, a Recipient Funded Transition Service or a Provider Funded Transition Service.

f. Additional Transition Services. A Party may at any time within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the Effective Date request that the other Party provide to it services in addition to those specified in the Transition Service Schedules, so long as such additional services are related to the purpose of the transition services described in Recital B. Any such request shall be in writing and provided to the other Party’s Primary Coordinator, as that term is defined in Section 3(a). To the extent requested by Recipient and consented to by Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the appropriate Transition Service Schedule shall be revised to include such additional services and the Time

Period, cost and other terms and conditions for the provision thereof. If the Parties are unable to agree within ten (10) days after delivery of a request for additional services to the Term, cost and other terms and conditions for such additional service, such Dispute (as defined below) shall be resolved in accordance with Section 3.

g. Party Performing Transition Services. As of the Effective Date, Provider has disclosed to Recipient, and Recipient has approved, all third parties known to Provider that are retained and will continue to be retained by Provider or its Affiliates to provide, directly or indirectly, some or part of the Transition Services to Recipient. Provider shall not, absent the prior written consent of Recipient (such consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or as expressly provided for in Section 2(c) or in any Transition Service Schedule, subcontract, license, sublicense or otherwise delegate or transfer any of the Transition Services to any other third party or permit the use of any of the Transition Services by any Person other than by Recipient, Provider and Affiliates of Provider. Provider shall not use any third party to provide some or part of the Transition Services under this Agreement unless such third party shall provide the services in accordance with the requirements under each applicable Transition Service Schedule (including cost) and comply with the performance standards under Section 2(a).

2. Performance of the Transition Services.

a. Performance Standard. Except for a higher or different performance standard that may be set forth in a Transition Service Schedule, Provider shall perform, or cause to be performed, the Transition Services to be provided by it to Recipient in accordance with the instructions, guidelines and requirements set forth in the applicable Transition Service Schedule, in a manner consistent with the practices in effect prior to the date of the Contribution Agreement, to the extent applicable, and with at least the same degree of skill, attention and care as if such Transition Service were being provided to Provider’s business; provided, however, that such skill, attention and care shall at a minimum be timely, professional and in a workmanlike manner and consistent with the level of care, skill, practice and judgment exercised by other professionals in performing services of a similar nature.

b. Compliance with Laws. Each Party shall comply with all applicable laws with respect to its performance pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall secure and maintain all governmental approvals, licenses and permits reasonably necessary for the conduct by it and its employees of the actions contemplated by this Agreement in compliance with applicable law.

c. Provider Responsibilities. With respect to the Transition Services, except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Transition Service Schedule and in accordance with Section 1(g), Provider shall have the right to select, employ, retain, pay, supervise, administer, direct and discharge any of its employees, consultants, subcontractors, or third party vendors or agents who will perform such Transition Services; provided, however, Provider shall assign necessary and sufficient resources and qualified personnel as are reasonably necessary to provide the Transition Services in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Party shall be solely responsible for payment of compensation to its employees. Each Party shall have full responsibility for payment of all

federal, state and local taxes or contributions imposed under unemployment insurance, social security and income tax laws with respect to its own employees.

d. Third Party Agreement for Services. The Parties acknowledge and agree that MC is a party to a Transition Services Agreement entered into as of January 1, 2015 (“GC TSA”) with GC Pivotal, LLC (“Global Capacity”) and that some of the Transition Services provided for under this Agreement will be provided by CloudCo to MC for the benefit of Global Capacity as part of MC’s obligations to Global Capacity under the GC TSA, and that CloudCo may receive some of the Transition Services under this Agreement directly from Global Capacity as part of Global Capacity’s obligations to MC under the GC TSA. This Agreement does not purport to restate all of the rights and obligations under the GC TSA; however, the Parties agree and acknowledge that it is implied that each of the Parties will perform certain services and receive benefits under this Agreement which are related to the GC TSA. Neither CloudCo nor MC will be relieved on any obligations under this Agreement by virtue of the fact that Global Capacity is the indirect or direct recipient of, or provider of, any of the Transition Services under this Agreement.

3. Governance.

a. Executive Steering Committee. Prior to the date hereof, each of CloudCo and MC has designated at least one executive-level person to serve on an Executive Steering Committee. Such Executive Steering Committee shall meet in person or telephonically, no less than one time per month during the Term to receive briefings from the Primary Coordinators as to the status and progress of each Transition Service. Either Party may change its designated executive-level designee upon giving the other Party notice to that effect in accordance with Section 15(b).

b. Primary Coordinators. Prior to the date hereof, each of CloudCo and MC has designated a primary contact person, who is and shall be a managerial (or higher) level employee, to oversee the implementation and completion of the Transition Services (the “Primary Coordinators”). Either Party may change its Primary Coordinator upon giving the other Party notice to that effect in accordance with Section 15(b). Each Primary Coordinator may delegate his or her authority and responsibility hereunder with respect to any individual Transition Service to an individual designated in the applicable Transition Service Schedule (each, a “Service Coordinator”). Unless CloudCo and MC otherwise agree, and except as set forth in a Transition Service Schedule with respect to a particular Transition Service, all communications relating to this Agreement and/or the Transition Services shall be directed to the Primary Coordinators in accordance with this Section 3, except that (i) any communication with respect to a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, (ii) any notice under Section 3(e) or (iii) any notice designating a new representative of a Party pursuant to this Section 3 shall be directed to the persons designated pursuant to Section 15(b). Each Primary Coordinator and each Service Coordinator shall devote such time as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the responsibility of the position.

c. Primary Coordinator Meetings. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Primary Coordinators from time to time, the Parties agree that the Primary Coordinators shall be required to meet in person or telephonically, no less than once per week during the first three (3) months

of the Term (as defined below). During the remainder of the Term, the Primary Coordinators shall be required to meet in person or telephonically, no less frequently than every other week. At each scheduled meeting, the Primary Coordinators shall review the progress on each Transition Service, including actions to be taken to complete the transition of such service within the Time Period set forth in the applicable Transition Service Schedule. The Primary Coordinators will notify their respective Service Coordinators of each in-person meeting or telephone conference call that they will need to attend.

d. Disputes. If a dispute arises between the Parties with respect to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any Transition Services Schedule, or any subject matter governed by this Agreement (excluding the following disputes which are subject to Section 13: (i) disputes regarding the default in the payment when due of any fees or expenses with respect to a Transition Service or group of Transition Services and such default is not the subject of a bona-fide good faith dispute, (ii) disputes regarding a Party’s compliance with the applicable confidentiality provisions, or (iii) suits to compel compliance with this dispute resolution process or with the provisions of this Section 3) (each, a “Dispute”), the Parties shall use and follow the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 3(e) (the “Dispute Resolution Process”) before seeking judicial relief or initiating arbitration pursuant to Section 13.

e. Dispute Resolution Process. A Dispute shall initially be submitted in writing to the Primary Coordinators for resolution. The Primary Coordinators shall promptly discuss and attempt to resolve any Dispute submitted to them in good faith following such submission. If by the end of the fifth (5th) business day following such submission, the matter has not been resolved to the satisfaction of both Primary Coordinators, then the Party that initiated the claim may provide written notification to their Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Executive Officer of the other Party, in the form of a claim identifying the issue or amount disputed and including a reasonably detailed reason for the claim. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Chief Executive Officers shall promptly meet in person or by telephone and attempt to resolve in good faith the Dispute within five (5) business days of receiving the written request. If they can resolve the Dispute within that time period, such resolution will be memorialized in writing. If they cannot resolve the Dispute within that time period, either of the Parties may seek specific performance or initiate arbitration in accordance with Section 13. The Parties may vary the duration and form of these procedures by mutual written agreement.

4. Records.

a. Records for Transition Services; Retention. Provider shall keep and maintain accurate and complete records and accounts regarding the provision, directly or indirectly, of Transition Services by it, in a manner reasonably consistent with the manner in which records and accounts regarding such Transition Services were kept by MC prior to the date of the Contribution Agreement and in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. For each Transition Service, Provider shall retain such records for a period of three (3) years following the end of the Term, or such longer period as may be required by law.

b. Records for Recipient Funded Transition Services; Audit. During the Term and for three (3) years thereafter, Recipient shall have the right, at its expense, during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice, to audit and inspect Provider’s records and

accounts related to costs and expenses of Provider with respect to any Recipient Funded Transition Services and to have access to Provider’s employees having knowledge of such matters. For each Recipient Funded Transition Service, no such audit may cover the same time period more than one time. Recipient specifically agrees that all such books and records related to the documentation of the Recipient Funded Transition Services shall be “Confidential Information” (as that term is used in Section 9) and shall be treated as provided under Section 9.

5. Intellectual Property.

a. Intellectual Property Approvals. Each Party shall secure and maintain all necessary intellectual property rights and approvals from third parties reasonably necessary for the performance by such Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

b. No Joint or Derivative Works. All copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks or other intellectual property rights of a Party (in this capacity, the “Providing Party”) to which the Providing Party provides access to the other Party (in this capacity, the “Receiving Party”) in connection with the performance of this Agreement shall be and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Providing Party and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create, or represent the intent of the Providing Party to authorize the creation of, any joint work with the Receiving Party or allow any derivative work to be created by the Receiving Party, in each case based on any intellectual property rights of the Providing Party, or otherwise to confer upon the Receiving Party any right or interest of ownership in any such intellectual property rights.

c. No Grant of License. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party is not by this Agreement granting any right or license whatsoever, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, to such Party to utilize any information, know-how, proprietary data, trademarks, copyrights or patent rights which such other Party may have or may secure in the future.

6. Disaster Recovery; Backup. During the Term, while and to the extent any software, data, computer equipment, communications equipment and other similar items are used by Provider to provide Transition Services, Provider shall continue to have in place business continuity, disaster recovery services and backup and archival services pursuant to a disaster recovery and business continuity plan maintained by Provider, which plan shall be no less comprehensive and robust than the plan maintained by MC prior to the date of the Contribution Agreement. A copy of Provider’s plan shall be promptly provided to Recipient upon Recipient’s request.

7. Time Period, Term and Termination of the Services.

a. Time Period; Term. With respect to the Transition Services, each Transition Service shall have the Time Period set forth in the applicable Transition Service Schedule, unless otherwise extended in accordance with Section 7(b) or terminated early in accordance with Section 7(c). This Agreement shall remain in effect until the expiration of the last Time Period set forth in any Transition Services Schedule, unless otherwise earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof (the “Term”).

b. Extension of Time Period. Recipient may at any time not less than thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled termination date of a Transition Service, as set forth in the applicable Transition Service Schedule, request in writing to Provider to extend the Time Period for such Transition Service. To the extent requested by Recipient and consented to by Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Provider shall provide such Transition Services during the extended Time Period (the “Extended Transition Services”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (after taking into account any amendments or modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that are implemented in connection with such extension), and for a such time period and at such cost as shall be mutually agreed to in good faith by Provider and Recipient; provided, however, that any Extended Transition Services shall not be provided after unless Provider has consented thereto, which consent may be given or withheld in Provider’s sole and absolute discretion. To the extent that the termination date for any Transition Service has been extended pursuant to this Section 7(b), the Time Period for such Service shall be deemed to be extended accordingly. If CloudCo and MC are unable to agree within ten (10) days of a request on the terms and conditions of an extension of a Time Period, such Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 3.

c. Early Termination of Transition Service. Except as otherwise set forth on the applicable Transition Service Schedule, at any time or from time to time Recipient (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not Provider) may terminate any individual Transition Service or group of Transition Services prior to the end of the applicable Time Period(s) by providing thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Provider of Recipient’s intention to terminate such Transition Service(s). All Transition Services shall end on the month-end of such month of termination. Except as provided in the Transition Service Schedules, Recipient shall be responsible for (i) the cost of such Transition Service up to the date such Transition Service is terminated, and (ii) any and all expenses Provider contracted for and were approved by Recipient prior to the notice to terminate in anticipation of providing such Transition Service until the expiration of the applicable Time Period for such Transition Service, and for which Provider cannot cancel for less than the cost of such expense. All such expenses shall be billed and paid in accordance with Section 8.

d. Cessation of Transition Service Obligation. Recipient agrees and acknowledges that all obligations of Provider to provide Transition Services shall immediately cease upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Time Period for such Transition Service, (ii) the early termination of such Transition Service in accordance with Section 7(c) or (c) any termination of the Agreement as provided in Section 7(e). Recipient shall bear sole responsibility for instituting permanent services and/or obtaining replacement services in respect of the Transition Services terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof, and Provider shall have no liability for Recipient’s failure to implement or to obtain such service or for any difficulties in transitioning from the Transition Service to such permanent or replacement service.

e. Termination of the Agreement. The Time Period for any Transition Service may be accelerated with respect to any individual Transition Service or group of Transition Services by mutual written consent of the Parties, and may be terminated with respect to any individual Transition Service or group of Transition Services by (i) Provider in the event that a

Bankruptcy Event occurs with respect to Recipient or Recipient Defaults in the payment when due of any fees or expenses with respect to such individual Transition Service or group of Transition Services and such Default (A) is not the subject of a bona-fide good faith Dispute, and (B) continues uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after such Recipient’s receipt of written notice of such default or (ii) Recipient in the event that a Bankruptcy Event occurs with respect to Provider or Provider materially breaches this Agreement and such breach is not curable or, if curable, continues uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after Provider’s receipt of written notice of such breach. Any such termination shall be effective immediately upon delivery of a notice of termination by the terminating Party to the other Party (subject to the foregoing cure periods).

f. Definition of Bankruptcy Event. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Bankruptcy Event” means, with respect to a Party, that: (i) such Party commences a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of such Party or any substantial part of its property, or consents to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or fails generally to pay its debts as they become due, or take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing; or (ii) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against such Party seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of such Party or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of forty-five (45) days.

g. Survival of Certain Provisions and Obligations. Notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement or any Transition Service under this Agreement, Sections 4, 5, 8, 9, 13, 14 and 15 and this Section 7(g) shall each survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. The termination or expiration of this Agreement or any Transition Service hereunder shall not affect: (i) any outstanding payment obligations of any Party under this Agreement as of such termination or expiration; or (ii) any liability of a Party relating to any default or breach of this Agreement by such Party prior to such termination or expiration.

8. Consideration; Payment and Billing for the Transition Services.

a. Payment. As consideration for the Transition Services, Recipient shall pay to Provider the amount specified for each such Transition Service as set forth in the Transition Schedules in Exhibits A, B and C. Any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Provider and included in any invoice under this Agreement shall be fully documented and reflect the actual reasonable cost incurred (without xxxx-up).

b. Billing. Provider will xxxx Recipient on no more than a monthly basis in arrears for the provision of the Transition Services. Payment of any such invoices by Recipient will be due and payable forty-five (45) days following the date of receipt of such invoice by Recipient (except for Disputed Amounts, which are addressed in Section 8(c)). Any payments

that are not paid within such forty-five (45) day period shall incur interest at a rate of 1.0% percent per annum from the day following the day on which payment was due and payable and ending on the day on which the amount is paid. To the extent that Transition Services are provided to an Affiliate of a Party, amounts owed attributable to such Transition Services shall be paid, or caused to be paid, by such Party on behalf of its Affiliate receiving such Transition Services. Recipient shall pay and reimburse Provider for any and all taxes and government charges, including, without limitation, sales or use charges, imposed on Provider so long as Provider has any obligation to collect with respect to, in connection with or relating to its provision of the Transition Services, other than income tax, gross receipts tax or similar taxes imposed on revenue or income.

c. Billing Disputes. If the billed Party has a bona fide, good faith dispute with any of the amounts on an invoice (“Disputed Amounts”), the billed Party must pay all amounts not in dispute as set forth in this Section 8, and provide the billing Party with a written request for a billing adjustment together with a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for such adjustment within forty-five (45) days from the date of it received the invoice on which the disputed amount first appeared. If the billing Party denies, in good faith, the billed Party’s dispute after reviewing the supporting documentation the billed Party submits, either Party may seek arbitration to resolve the dispute in accordance with the process described in Section 13. For the avoidance of doubt, failure to dispute an invoice within such forty-five (45) day period shall not limit Recipient’s rights to subsequently challenge any invoice or constitute a waiver of Recipient’s rights under this Agreement with respect to the Transition Services covered by such invoice.

d. Default. If Recipient fails to pay the fees for a Transition Service (other than fees related to Disputed Amounts) within forty-five (45) days after it receives the invoice (a “Default”), Provider may send Recipient a notice of such default and may, in its discretion and without further notice, suspend or terminate such Transition Service if Recipient fails to cure the non-payment within thirty (30) days after the notice of Default. In that event, Provider shall be entitled to pursue any remedy to which it may be entitled in law or in equity to recover the amount owing.

9. Confidentiality.

a. Definitions. For purposes of this Section 9: (i) the Party providing access to its Confidential Information is referred to as the “Information Disclosing Party” and the Party receiving access to the Confidential Information of the other Party is referred to as the “Information Receiving Party”; and (ii) “Confidential Information” means: (A) any and all trade secrets concerning the business and affairs of the applicable Party, product specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes, designs, sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions and ideas, past, current and planned research and development, current and planned manufacturing and distribution methods and processes, customer lists, current and anticipated customer requirements, price lists, market studies, business plans, computer software and programs (including object code and source code), database technologies, systems, structures architectures processes, improvements, devices, know-how, discoveries, concepts, methods, proprietary information of the applicable Party, and any other information, however documented, of the applicable Party that is confidential or proprietary; (B) any and all

confidential or proprietary information concerning the applicable Party’s business (which includes historical financial statements, financial projections and budgets, historical and projected sales, capital spending budgets and plans, the names and backgrounds of key personnel, contractors, agents, customers, suppliers, personnel training and techniques and materials, and purchasing methods and techniques); and (C) any and all notes, analysis, compilations, studies, summaries and other material prepared by or for such Party containing or based, in whole or in part, upon any information included in the foregoing, in each case, whether tangible or intangible; provided, however, that Confidential Information does not include any information that: (I) was available to the general public at the time of disclosure to the Information Receiving Party, (II) becomes available to the general public after the date of this Agreement through no act of the Information Receiving Party, it Affiliates or any of the agents, employees or contractors of it or its Affiliates (it being acknowledged that this clause (II) shall only apply from and after such availability to the general public) or (III) is disclosed to the Information Receiving Party by a third party who lawfully obtained such information without violation of any confidentiality obligation to the Information Disclosing Party.

b. Non-Disclosure; Limited Use. During the Term and thereafter, the Information Receiving Party shall maintain in confidence and not disclose any of the Information Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, using the same degree of care, but no less than reasonable care, as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of like nature. The Information Receiving Party may use Confidential Information only for the purposes of fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement (the “Permitted Purpose”). Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 9(b), (i) the Information Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its Affiliates and its and their respective agents, employees or contractors who have a need to know such information for the Permitted Purpose and who are under an obligation to protect confidential information and (ii) the each Party may use Confidential Information in the conduct of its business after the termination of any Transition Service under this Agreement, as may be necessary or appropriate for such Party to perform such Transition Services directly; provided however, that the confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions of this Section 9(b) shall continue to apply to all such Confidential Information. Each Information Receiving Party shall implement and exercise commercially reasonable precautions and measures to prevent disclosure or use of the Confidential Information by it or its duly authorized representatives, attorneys or accountants in violation of this Section 9. Each Information Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breaches of this Section 9 by its representatives to whom it discloses Confidential Information.

c. Ownership of Confidential Information. All Confidential Information of an Information Disclosing Party that is provided to an Information Receiving Party shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Information Disclosing Party and no license in, or other rights with respect to, such Confidential Information is or shall be deemed to have been granted by such provision of Confidential Information (but subject to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 9(b)).

d. Required Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9(b), the Information Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Information Disclosing Party if and to the extent required by any third party subpoena or judicial order or decree or by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule requiring disclosure of

such Confidential Information, provided, however, that the Information Receiving Party provides advance notice of such requirement (other than disclosure required by the Securities and Exchange Commission or stock exchange rule) to the Information Disclosing Party so that the Information Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 9 and if, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver from the Information Disclosing Party, the Information Receiving Party is legally required to disclose any Confidential Information of the Information Disclosing Party, the Information Receiving Party: (i) reasonably cooperates with the Information Disclosing Party to obtain, at the Information Disclosing Party’s expense, an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such Confidential Information, and (ii) discloses only such Confidential Information as the Information Receiving Party is advised by legal counsel that such Information Receiving Party is legally required to disclose.

e. Actions Upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Information Receiving Party shall, within five (5) days of receipt of written request from the Information Disclosing Party, either: (i) deliver to the Information Disclosing Party or its representative all materials containing Confidential Information of the Information Disclosing Party that were received by the Information Receiving Party from the Information Disclosing Party; or (ii) destroy all materials containing Confidential Information of the Information Disclosing Party that were received by the Information Receiving Party from the Information Disclosing Party and provide an officer’s certificate to the Information Disclosing Party certifying, under penalty of perjury, such destruction; provided, however, that (A) the Information Receiving Party may retain Confidential Information in accordance with (i) the Information Receiving Party’s document retention and disaster recovery policies and procedures and (ii) applicable legal, governmental or regulatory requirements, (B) the Information Receiving Party may retain one archival copy of such materials for use by the Information Receiving Party solely in connection with any disputes with the Information Disclosing Party concerning this Agreement, and (C) this obligation shall not apply to any Confidential Information referred to in the last sentence of Section 9(b); and provided, further that any Confidential Information that is retained shall remain subject to the confidentiality and non-use obligations (with respect to use, subject to the last sentence of Section 9(b)) set forth in this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information is retained, notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement. The Information Receiving Party shall not to remove any proprietary rights legend from, and upon the Information Disclosing Party’s reasonable request shall add such legend to, materials disclosing or embodying Confidential Information.

f. Injunctive Relief. The Parties agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Section 9, and any breach of the terms of this Section 9 would result in irreparable injury and damage for which neither Party would have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the event of a breach or a threatened breach of this Section 9, each Party, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor at law or in equity, shall be entitled to specific performance or immediate injunctive or other equitable relief from a court in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of this Section 9 (without posting a bond or other security), without having to prove damages. The terms of this Section 9 shall not

prevent any Party from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

g. Non-Exclusive Obligation. The foregoing provisions of this Section 9 are in addition to, and in no way limit, any applicable rights or obligations of the Parties under any other agreements by or among them.

10. Status of Parties; Adherence to Computer and other Policies.

a. Relationship of the Parties. None of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to create nor will it be deemed or construed to create a partnership, employment, agency, franchise or joint venture or other relationship between the Parties other than that of independent entities contracting with each other under this Agreement solely for the purpose of effecting the provisions of this Agreement. Neither Party will be construed to be the employer of the other. Provider and its agents shall act under this Agreement solely as an independent contractor and not as an agent of Recipient. Provider shall not incur any debts or make any commitments for Recipient, except to the extent, if at all, specifically provided herein. Neither Provider nor any person working for or with Provider will be eligible for any employee benefits from Recipient (nor does Provider or any such person desire any such benefits) and any entitlement to such benefits is expressly waived. Each Party shall be solely responsible for the management, direction and control of its employees. Neither Party shall have any right, power or authority, express or implied, to enter into any agreements on behalf of the other Party, assume or create any obligations or responsibilities, or make any representation or warranty, express or implied, for or on behalf of the other Party, or bind the other Party in any way.

b. Computer and other Policies. Each Party gaining access to the other Party’s employees, facilities or information technology systems (an “Accessing Party”) shall cause all of its employees to adhere to all reasonable and law abiding policies of the other Party that are communicated to the Accessing Party pertaining to the other Party’s employees, facility and/or information technology systems.

11. Modification of Procedures.

a. Right to Modify Procedures. Subject to the procedure set forth herein and to the extent applicable, Provider may make changes from time to time in its standards and procedures for performing the Transition Services, provided that the Transition Services provided with any such new standards or procedures will be of a level that is comparable, or exceeds, those previously provided and Provider provides written notice of such changes to Recipient. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, unless required by law, Provider shall not implement any substantial changes affecting any Transition Services provided to Recipient unless Provider gives Recipient written notice thereof and thirty (30) days (i) to accept, and adapt its operations to accommodate, such changes or (ii) to reject the proposed changes and terminate the applicable Transition Services.

b. Process for Modification. During the Term, Recipient shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such plans are available, provide Provider with a plan identifying any changes in Recipient’s business that may affect the provision of the Transition Services in order

for Provider to provide the Transition Services to Recipient; provided, however, that Provider shall not be required to alter the method in which it provides the Transition Services or increase the level of such Transition Service in any material manner except as expressly provided herein; and provided, further, that the failure of Recipient to provide such notice shall not alter or diminish Provider’s obligation to provide the Transition Services on the terms set forth herein.

12. Representations and Warranties. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that:

a. Such Party possesses, and shall continue to possess, the skill, expertise, and knowledge to provide the Transition Services to be provided by it hereunder, and further represents that it holds, or shall obtain at its sole expense, all consents, licenses, permits, registrations or authorities necessary to perform the Transition Services to be performed by it hereunder.

b. Such Party is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, and has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on its business, properties, or ability to conduct the business currently conducted by it.

d. No authorization, consent, or approval of, or filing with, any Governmental Entity is necessary on the part of such Party for the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

e. No action by or against such Party is pending or, to the best of such Party’s knowledge, threatened which could affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

13. Dispute Resolution.

a. Specific Performance. The Parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy and to obtain injunctive relief against any such breaches or threatened breaches of the performance of Transition Services.

b. Arbitration. The Parties agree that, with the exception of seeking specific performance in accordance with Section 13(a) and the recovery of unpaid fees as provided in

Section 8(d), binding arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for resolution of disputes between the Parties.

Such arbitration shall be governed by the commercial rules of the AAA. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and entered into any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party will be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with such arbitration.

14. Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.

a. Subject to Section 14(b), each Party shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party, each of its Affiliates and each of its and their respective employees, officers, directors, managers, members, stockholders, agents and representatives from and against, any and all damages, fines, penalties, deficiencies, losses, liabilities (including settlements and judgments), demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, taxes (including excise and penalty taxes), penalties and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, court costs, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other experts and professionals or other reasonable fees and expenses of investigation, litigation or other proceedings) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by such indemnified Person resulting from, arising out of or relating to any (i) breach of any of the representations and warranties of the indemnifying Party set forth in Section 12 or of any covenant or agreement of the indemnifying Party set forth in this Agreement; (ii) violation of applicable law or willful misconduct by, or grossly negligent act of, any such indemnifying Party, any of its Affiliates or any of its and their respective employees, officers, directors, managers, members, stockholders, agents or representatives in connection with performance, directly or indirectly, of such indemnifying Party of any Transition Services to be provided by such indemnifying Party under this Agreement; (iii) any material misrepresentation or omission made to a third party by such indemnifying Party, any of its Affiliates or any of its and their respective employees, officers, directors, managers, members, stockholders, agents or representatives regarding the Transition Services that was not authorized by the other Party in writing or (iv) use of any materials supplied by, or receipt of any services from, the indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement constituting or resulting in an infringement of any patent, copyright or trademark of any third party or resulting in any misappropriation of any trade secret of such third party.

b. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE IN CONTRACT, TORT, FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH PARTY, OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES RESULT FROM THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF A PARTY OR ITS EMPLOYEES. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS Section 14(b) SHALL NOT APPLY TO SUCH DAMAGES THAT A PARTY IS REQUIRED TO PAY TO A THIRD PARTY IN RESOLUTION OF ANY CLAIM BY SUCH THIRD PARTY AGAINST SUCH PARTY.

c. The indemnified Party agrees to promptly notify the indemnifying Party in writing of any written claims or demands against the indemnified Party for which the indemnified Party seeks indemnification from the indemnifying party under this Section 14 (provided, however, that any failure to give such notification on a timely basis shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that such failure to provide or delay in providing actually prejudices the ability of the indemnifying Party to defend against such matter) and the indemnifying Party will have the opportunity to direct the defense of any such claims that relate solely to monetary damages. The indemnified Party will cooperate with the indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided that the indemnified Party will be entitled to participate therein through counsel of its own choice and at its own expense. The indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim or action without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The indemnifying Party agrees to accept liability for the indemnified Party’s defense or settlement of any such claims or demands if the indemnifying Party either does not have the right to assume the defense of such claim or demand hereunder or, if it has such right, fails to timely assume the defense of such claim or demand after being notified of such claim or demand.

15. Miscellaneous Provisions.

a. Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement or any of the Transition Service Schedules, each Party shall bear all costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants and financing fees, if any) incurred by or on behalf of such Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

b. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given in this Agreement shall be provided pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Purchase Agreement.

c. Assignment; Successors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall have the right without the consent of any other Party to assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder to any successor to all or substantially all of the business and assets of such Party; provided that the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties and that an assignment or delegation of this Agreement by a Party or of any of a Party’s obligations under this agreement shall not operate to release such Party from any of its obligations under this Agreement or from the specific obligation assigned or delegated by such Party. Any purported assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any rights, interests or obligations hereunder in violation of this Section 15(c) shall be void and of no force or effect. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

d. Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing executed by each of the Parties, which states that it constitutes an amendment to this Agreement and specifies the provision(s) that are being amended.

Any such waiver shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such written instrument. Neither the exercise (from time to time and at any time) by a Party of, nor the delay or failure (at any time or for any period of time) to exercise by a Party, any right, power or remedy shall constitute a waiver of the right to exercise, or impair, limit or restrict the exercise of, such right, power or remedy or any other right, power or remedy at any time and from time to time thereafter. No waiver of any right, power or remedy of a Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other right, power or remedy of such Party or shall, except to the extent so waived, impair, limit or restrict the exercise of such right, power or remedy.

e. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the schedules hereto, along with the Purchase Agreement, constitute the entire agreement of the Parties, and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings and negotiations (whether written or oral), by or among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The schedules specifically referred to herein are an integral part of this Agreement.

f. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall hereafter be held to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction under any circumstances for any reason (i) such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to cause such provision to be valid, enforceable and legal while preserving the intent of the Parties as expressed in, and the benefits to such Parties provided by, such provision or (ii) if such provision cannot be so reformed, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement and an equitable adjustment shall be made to this Agreement (including addition of necessary further provisions to this Agreement) so as to give effect to the intent as so expressed and the benefits so provided to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law. Such holding shall not affect or impair the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction or under any other circumstances. Neither such holding nor such reformation or severance shall affect or impair the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

g. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

h. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which (when executed and delivered) shall be considered one and the same Agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterpart signature pages have been signed by each Party and delivered by each Party to the other Parties, it being understood that the Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Counterparts may be delivered by facsimile or other electronic

transmission method (including pdf), and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

i. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, ALL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND ALL DISPUTES AND PROCEEDINGS (IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE DOMESTIC LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

j. Remedies. Each of the Parties shall have and retain all rights and remedies, at law or in equity, including rights to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief, arising out of or relating to a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Parties acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and that the non-breaching Parties would be damaged irreparably and would have no adequate remedy of law if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached. Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Parties shall be entitled to a decree of specific performance to enforce the rights and obligations of the Parties from any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security or proving actual damages and without regard to the adequacy of any remedy at law.

All references in this Agreement to schedules, sections, subsections and other subdivisions refer to the corresponding schedules, sections, subsections and other subdivisions of or to this Agreement unless expressly provided otherwise. Schedules to this Agreement are attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein for all purposes. Any capitalized term used but not defined in an annex or schedule to this Agreement have the meaning set forth in this Agreement. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and “hereof,” and words of similar import, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular article, section, subsection or other subdivision hereof unless expressly so limited herein. The words “either,” “or,” “neither,” “nor,” and “any” are not exclusive, and the word “or” is deemed to have the meaning “and/or”. The word “including” (in its various forms) means including without limitation. All references to “$” and dollars shall be deemed to refer to United States currency unless otherwise specifically provided. Pronouns in masculine, feminine or neuter genders shall be construed to state and include any other gender, and words, terms and titles (including terms defined herein) in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. References in this

Agreement to a Person shall include the successors and assigns thereof. All references to materials in this Agreement, including any report, record, file or other document, shall, in each case, include any form or medium of such materials (including electronic form).

m. Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party based on any claim that such Party or counsel to such Party drafted this Agreement or any provision hereof.

n. Force Majeure. Any delay in or failure of performance by a Party, other than payment of money, shall not constitute default hereunder if, and solely to the extent, such delay or failure of performance is caused by occurrences or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including: “acts of God”, acts of a public enemy, acts of terrorism, acts of a nation or any state, territory, province or other political division thereof, fires, floods, riots, quarantine restrictions or any other causes, whether or not of the same class or kind as those specifically named above, in each case which are not within the reasonably control of such Party and which in the exercise of reasonable diligence, such Party would be unable to prevent (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). The Party whose performance is affected by a Force Majeure Event shall: (i) provide prompt (under the circumstances) notice to the other Party of the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event, including its good faith estimate of the time required to rectify such Force Majeure Event and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effect of such Force Majeure Event upon performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and upon the receipt of such notice, the Parties shall promptly confer, in good faith, to agree upon equitable, reasonable action to minimize the impact, on both Parties, of such conditions.

o. Conflicts in Provisions. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions set forth in the main body of this Agreement and the Transition Service Schedules, the provisions of the main body of this Agreement shall control. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control solely with respect to the rights and obligations of the parties regarding the Transition Services.

C. To facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Transferors desire to contribute to Transferee the Contributed Assets (as defined below) in exchange for the assumption by Transferee of the Assumed Liabilities (as defined below) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, with the understanding that MC will distribute its ownership interest in Transferee to MGI prior to the consummation of the Stock Purchase.

ARTICLE 1

1.3 Assumption of Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Transferors hereby assign and transfer to Transferee as of the Effective Time, and Transferee hereby accepts and assumes as of the Effective Time (and, as between Transferee and Transferors, Transferee agrees to pay, perform, discharge and satisfy), all of the following liabilities and obligations of Transferors (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):

Without limiting the foregoing, each Transferor hereby disclaims any warranty (express or implied) of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose as to any portion of the Contributed Assets. Accordingly, Transferee accepts the Contributed Assets and the Assumed Liabilities “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.”

ARTICLE 2

SUPPORT OF TRANSFER

2.1 Non-Assignable Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any contract intended to be included in the assets to be contributed to Transferee under this Agreement is not assignable without the consent, approval or waiver by a third party, either as a result of the provisions thereof or applicable law, and such consent, approval or waiver has not been obtained on or prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Non-Assignable Contract”), this Agreement and any related instruments of transfer shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of such Non-Assignable Contract (and such Non-Assignable Contract shall not be included in the Contributed Assets and the obligations under such Non-Assignable Contract shall not be Assumed Liabilities) unless and until the such required consent, approval or waiver is received; provided, however, that Transferee shall and, to the extent requested by Transferee, the applicable Transferor will use its commercially reasonable efforts (at Transferee’s expense) for a period of at least six (6) months following the Effective Date to

2.2 Updating of Schedules.

(a) No later than 120 days after the Effective Time, MC shall deliver to Transferee (i) one or more new schedules under Section 1.1 updating the information thereon to accurately reflect the assets actually transferred by Transferors to Transferee at the Effective Time.

(b) The new schedules described in Section 2.3(a) shall be final and binding on the Parties unless Transferee delivers to MC a written notice of disagreement with such schedules within 60 days following the receipt thereof. Such written notice shall describe the nature of any such disagreement in reasonable detail, identifying the specific items (whether included in, or omitted from, such schedules) as to which Transferee disagrees and shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation. During such 60 day period, each of the Parties shall provide each of the other Parties and their respective advisors with on-site access during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice to all relevant books and records and employees of such Party to the extent necessary to review the matters and information used to prepare such schedules, all in a manner not unreasonably interfering with the business of such Party. If Transferee delivers a notice of disagreement in a timely manner, then Transferee and MC shall attempt to resolve all such matters identified in such notice. If Transferee and MC are unable to resolve all such disagreements within 30 days after the receipt by MC of the notice of disagreement (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Parties), then either MC or Transferee may submit the remaining disputed matters to the Delaware Courts for resolution.

2.3 Further Assurances. Each Party will execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents and instruments reasonably requested by any other Party, and will take any other action consistent with the terms of this Agreement that may reasonably be requested by any other Party, in each case at the expense of the requesting Party, for the purpose of giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the request of Transferee at any time, Transferors shall execute a separate assignment agreement evidencing the assignment of any intellectual property assets for recording in the United States Patent and Trademark office or with any other governmental entity.

4.3 Assignment; Successors. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated (whether in whole or part, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law, merger, consolidation, dissolution or otherwise) by (a) MC without the prior written consent of Transferee; or (b) Transferee or MGI, without the prior written consent of MC.

Neither the exercise (from time to time and at any time) by a Party of, nor the delay or failure (at any time or for any period of time) to exercise by a Party, any right, power or remedy shall constitute a waiver of the right to exercise, or impair, limit or restrict the exercise of, such right, power or remedy or any other right, power or remedy at any time and from time to time thereafter. No waiver of any right, power or remedy of a Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other right, power or remedy of such Party or shall, except to the extent so waived, impair, limit or restrict the exercise of such right, power or remedy.

4.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the schedules hereto and the other agreements referred to herein constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all other prior or contemporaneous agreements (whether written or oral) by or among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The schedules specifically referred to herein, and delivered pursuant hereto, are an integral part of this Agreement.

4.6 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall hereafter be held to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction under any circumstances for any reason (a) such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to cause such provision to be valid, enforceable and

legal while preserving the intent of the Parties as expressed in, and the benefits to the Parties provided by, such provision or (b) if such provision cannot be so reformed, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement and an equitable adjustment shall be made to this Agreement (including addition of necessary further provisions to this Agreement) so as to give effect to the intent as so expressed and the benefits so provided to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Such holding shall not affect or impair the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction or under any other circumstances. Neither such holding nor such reformation or severance shall affect or impair the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

4.7 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

4.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which (when executed and delivered) shall be considered one and the same Agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterpart signature pages have been signed by each Party and delivered by each Party to the other Parties, it being understood that the Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Counterparts may be delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission method (including pdf), and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

4.9 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, ALL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND ALL DISPUTES AND PROCEEDINGS (IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE DOMESTIC LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

4.11 Remedies. Each of the Parties shall have and retain all rights and remedies, at law or in equity, including rights to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief, arising out of or relating to a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Parties acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and that the non-breaching Parties would be damaged irreparably and would have no adequate remedy of law if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached. Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Parties shall be entitled to a decree of specific performance to enforce the rights and obligations of the Parties from any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in

connection therewith, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security or proving actual damages and without regard to the adequacy of any remedy at law.

4.13 Interpretation. All references in this Agreement to schedules and sections refer to the corresponding schedules and sections of or to this Agreement unless expressly provided otherwise. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and “hereof,” and words of similar import, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular article, section, subsection or other subdivision hereof unless expressly so limited herein. The words “either,” “or,” “neither,” “nor,” and “any” are not exclusive, and the word “or” is deemed to have the meaning “and/or”. The word “including” (in its various forms) means including without limitation. Pronouns in masculine, feminine or neuter genders shall be construed to state and include any other gender, and words, terms and titles (including terms defined herein) in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires.

4.14 Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party based on any claim that such Party or counsel to such Party drafted this Agreement or any provision hereof.
