At the Closing, in addition to the payments to be made by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.02(c), the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller:

(a) executed counterparts of each Ancillary Agreement, duly executed by the Purchaser, as applicable;

(b) a true and complete copy, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Purchaser, such certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.05(b), of the resolutions duly and validly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Purchaser evidencing its authorization of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;

(c) a certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Purchaser, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.05(c), certifying the names and signatures of the Persons authorized to sign this Agreement and the applicable Ancillary Agreements on behalf of the Purchaser and the other documents to be delivered hereunder and thereunder; and

(d) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Purchaser, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.05(d), certifying as to the matters with respect to the Purchaser set forth in Section 8.01(a).

SECTION 2.06. Post-Closing Adjustment of Purchase Price

The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing as specified in this Section 2.06:

(a) Closing Statement. As promptly as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) a calculation (including a detailed summary of such calculation) of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Company Debt, the Closing Company Transaction Expenses, the Closing Cash Amount and the Specified Adjustments and (ii) the Purchase Price resulting from such calculations in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 2.02(a). The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser’s calculation of the Purchase Price set forth in the Closing Statement is not greater than or less than the Estimated Purchase Price by an amount at least equal to the Designated Amount, then no adjustment shall be made to the Purchase Price and the Estimated Purchase Price shall be deemed to be the Final Purchase Price for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Cooperation. In connection with the Seller’s review of the Closing Statement, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, (i) provide the Seller and its authorized Representatives with reasonable access to the relevant books and records, its and its accountants’ work papers, schedules and other unaudited financial statement reporting data as may be reasonably requested by the Seller; and (ii) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith with the Seller and its authorized Representatives, including by providing on a timely basis all information necessary or useful in the Seller’s review of the Closing Statement and the calculations of Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Company Debt, the Closing Company Transaction Expenses, the Closing Cash Amount, the Specified Adjustments and the Purchase Price contained therein.

(i) If the Seller disagrees with the Purchaser’s calculations or determinations set forth in the Closing Statement, the Seller shall promptly, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days following its receipt of the Closing Statement (the “Review Period”), deliver to the Purchaser written notice describing in reasonable detail its dispute by specifying those items or amounts as to which the Seller disagrees, together with the Seller’s determination of such disputed items and amounts (a “Dispute Notice”). Unless the Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to the Purchaser on or prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Seller will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Closing Statement and such statement (and the calculations contained therein) will be final, binding and conclusive. For purposes of this Section 2.06(c), the Seller (A) may only deliver a Dispute Notice on the basis that the Purchaser’s calculations set forth in the Closing Statement were not in accordance with GAAP, were inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, were not supported by or were inconsistent with the underlying books and records, or that such calculations contain mathematical or other errors and (B) may not deliver a Dispute Notice unless the aggregate value of all such disputed items is an amount at least equal to the Designated Amount. During the forty-five (45) days (the “Resolution Period”) after the delivery of the Dispute Notice, the Purchaser and the Seller shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute and finally determine the Closing Statement and the Closing Company Debt, the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Cash Amount, the Closing Company Transaction Expenses, the Specified Adjustments and the Purchase Price set forth therein. Any resolution by the Purchaser and the Seller during the Resolution Period as to any item identified in the Dispute Notice shall be set forth in writing and will be final, binding and conclusive. If the Seller and the Purchaser are not able to resolve all disputed items identified in the Dispute Notice within the Resolution Period, then the items that remain in dispute shall be submitted to BDO Global, or if that firm and office is unwilling or unable to serve, such other independent firm of national standing capable of serving as an accounting expert mutually agreed upon in writing by the Purchaser and the Seller (the “Accountant”).

(ii) If any remaining issues in dispute are submitted to the Accountant for resolution, each of the Seller and the Purchaser will be afforded an opportunity to present to the Accountant any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute; provided, however, a copy of all such material shall also be provided to the other party. The Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to calculate, based solely on the written submissions of the Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other, and not by independent investigation, the numbers in dispute in the Closing Statement and shall be instructed that its calculations must be made in accordance with the standards and definitions in this Agreement, and with respect to each item in dispute, must be within the range of values established for such amount as determined by reference to the value assigned to such amount by the Seller in the Dispute Notice and by Purchaser in the Closing Statement.

(iii) The Purchaser and the Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Accountant during its engagement in connection with the matters contemplated by this Section 2.06(c). The Purchaser and the Seller shall give the Accountant access to all documents, records, work papers and personnel of such party and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as reasonably necessary to perform its function. The Accountant shall deliver to the Seller and the Purchaser, as promptly as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days after his or her appointment, a written statement setting forth his or her determination of the disputed items set forth in the Closing Statement, each as determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such determination shall be final and binding upon the Seller and the Purchaser to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accountant shall be allocated to and borne by the Purchaser and the Seller based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accountant’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accountant. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to one thousand dollars ($1,000) and the Accountant awards six hundred dollars ($600) in favor of the Seller’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by the Purchaser and 40% of the costs would be borne by the Seller.

(d) Purchase Price Adjustment. The final, binding and conclusive calculation of the Purchase Price, based either upon the last sentence of Section 2.06(a), agreement or deemed agreement by the Purchaser and the Seller or the written determination delivered by the Accountant, in each case, in accordance with this Section 2.06, will be the “Final Purchase Price” for all purposes of this Agreement.

(i) On or prior to the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the determination of the Final Purchase Price:

(A) In the event that the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall pay the amount of such excess to the Seller (or the Seller’s designee) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Seller; and

(B) In the event that the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price, the Seller shall pay the amount of such excess to the Purchaser (or the Purchaser’s designee) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Purchaser.

(ii) The Seller and the Purchaser agree that any payment by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to this Section 2.06(d) shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

SECTION 2.07. Withholding

The Purchaser and any of its agents or Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration, or other amounts, payable to the Seller or any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any applicable Law; provided, however, that the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to eliminate or minimize any withholding Tax with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Purchaser. The parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to determine, at least ninety (90) days’ prior to the Closing, whether any withholding requirement would apply to the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement, including the amount of any such withholding and basis for such withholding. Purchaser agrees that unless otherwise required by applicable Law, it will not take any action that, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, would result in any withholding requirement that is otherwise inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To the extent amounts are deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 2.07, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement or the applicable Transaction Document as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid and such amounts shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and notice thereof will be provided to the Seller. To the extent that the Purchaser takes any action pursuant to this Section 2.07 at the written request of the Seller, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) for any Taxes or penalties which may be imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) as a result of such action.

SECTION 5.02. Access to Information

(a) From the date hereof until the Closing, upon reasonable notice, the Seller shall cause the Acquired Companies and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, accountants and counsel to (i) afford the Purchaser and its authorized representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties and books and records of the Acquired Companies and (ii) promptly furnish to the officers, employees, and authorized agents and representatives of the Purchaser such additional financial and operating data and other information regarding the Business (or copies thereof) as the Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that (A) no such disclosure or investigation shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Seller herein and (B) any such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted at the Purchaser’s expense during normal business hours, under the supervision of the Seller’s personnel and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Business; provided, further, that under no circumstances shall the Purchaser’s pre-Closing access include testing of the Real Property that involves digging, drilling, cutting or boring into the ground or any buildings, structures, facilities or improvements thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller shall not be required to disclose any information contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence to the Purchaser if the Seller reasonably determines that such disclosure would (x) cause significant competitive harm to the Business if the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, (y) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or (z) contravene any applicable Laws, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date hereof (provided that the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the counterparty to any such binding agreement so as to permit the disclosure contemplated by this Section 5.02(a)).

(b) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Seller will deliver to the Purchaser, for (i) each fiscal month ended after the date hereof as soon as reasonably practicable and available after the conclusion of such month and (ii) each fiscal quarter ended after the date hereof as soon as reasonably practicable and available after the conclusion of such fiscal quarter, internally prepared summary financial reports in respect of the Acquired Companies, in each case in the form and with such substance as prepared by the Seller in the Ordinary Course of Business.

(c) In order to (i) allow the Seller to complete the Seller’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal periods through the Closing Date (which will include the Acquired Companies) and (ii) facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by the Seller relating to the Business, for a period of three (3) years after the Closing or, if shorter, the applicable period specified in the Purchaser’s document retention policy (but in no event prior to the completion of the Seller’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal periods through the Closing Date), the Purchaser shall (i) retain the books and records of the Business and the Acquired Companies relating to periods prior to the Closing, and (ii) upon reasonable notice, afford the officers, employees, agents and representatives of the Seller reasonable access (including the right to make, at the Seller’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to

such books and records and to such employees of the Acquired Companies as the Seller shall reasonably determine are necessary to assist the Seller in the preparation of such financial statements (and the Purchaser shall cause such employees to cooperate with the Seller in such preparation); provided, however, that the Purchaser shall notify the Seller at least thirty (30) days in advance of destroying any such books and records prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing in order to provide the Seller the opportunity to access such books and records in accordance with this Section 5.02(c); provided, further, that any such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted at the Seller’s expense during normal business hours, under the supervision of the Purchaser’s personnel and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not be required to disclose any information contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence to the Seller if the Purchaser reasonably determines that such disclosure would (x) cause significant competitive harm to the Business, or (y) contravene any applicable Laws, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date hereof; provided that the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary consents from the relevant counterparties and to disclose or provide such requested information in redacted form.

(d) In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by the Purchaser, the Company or any Operating Subsidiary relating to the Business, for a period of three (3) years after the Closing or, if shorter, the applicable period specified in the Seller’s document retention policy, the Seller shall (i) retain the books and records of the Business and the Acquired Companies relating to periods prior to the Closing which shall not otherwise have been delivered to the Purchaser, the Company or any Operating Subsidiary, and (ii) upon reasonable notice, afford the officers, employees, agents and representatives of the Purchaser reasonable access (including the right to make, at the Purchaser’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records; provided, however, that the Seller shall notify the Purchaser at least thirty (30) days in advance of destroying any such books and records prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing in order to provide the Purchaser the opportunity to access such books and records in accordance with this Section 5.02(d); provided, further, that any such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted during normal business hours, under the supervision of the Seller’s personnel and in such a manner as not to materially interfere with the normal operations of the Business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller shall not be required to disclose any information contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence to the Purchaser if the Seller reasonably determines that such disclosure would contravene any applicable Laws, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date hereof; provided that the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary consents from the relevant counterparties and to disclose or provide such requested information in redacted form.

SECTION 5.03. Confidentiality

(a) The terms of the letter agreement dated as of June 17, 2018 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) between the Seller and UPL Limited (“Purchaser Parent”) are hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement and the obligations of the Purchaser under this Section 5.03 shall terminate; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate only in respect of that portion of the Materials (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) to the extent relating to the Acquired Companies and transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect.

(b) From and after the Closing Date until the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller will, and will cause each of its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives (its “Restricted Persons”) to, maintain the confidentiality of and not disclose to any other Person, and not use for their own benefit or the benefit of any other Person, any Materials (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement).

(c) If a party or any of its respective Restricted Persons become legally compelled to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise restricted by this Agreement, then such party will (i) give the other party prompt written notice of such requirement, (ii) consult with and assist the other party in obtaining an injunction or other appropriate remedy to prevent such disclosure and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to any information so disclosed. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the disclosing party or such Restricted Persons may make only such disclosure that, in the opinion of its counsel, it is legally compelled or otherwise required to make to avoid standing liable for contempt or suffering other material penalty.

(d) Nothing provided to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.02(a) shall in any way amend or diminish the Purchaser Parent’s obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any Materials (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) provided to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.02(a) or otherwise by the Seller, the Company, any Operating Subsidiary or any Representative thereof shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(e) Effective upon the Closing, the Seller hereby assigns to the Purchaser all of its rights under each confidentiality agreement (other than the Confidentiality Agreement) to which the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and which pertain to the potential acquisition of the business or operations of any of the Acquired Companies. The Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, upon the request of the Purchaser from time to time, use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Purchaser in enforcing the provisions of any such confidentiality agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Seller shall deliver copies of each such confidentiality agreement to the Purchaser to the extent permitted by the terms thereof.

SECTION 5.04. Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents

(a) Subject to Section 5.04(c), each party shall use its best efforts to promptly obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities and officials under Competition Laws that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and will cooperate fully with the other party in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals. Each party hereto agrees to make promptly its respective filing, if necessary, pursuant to the Competition Laws of all jurisdictions, including (i) filing all required notifications under the HSR Act within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, (ii) for each jurisdiction set forth on Exhibit 5.04(ii), filing the notifications and filings under the relevant Competition Laws or, where necessary or advisable, commencing pre-notification with the relevant Governmental Authority, and including, if agreed between the Seller and the Purchaser, submitting a draft reasoned submission to the European Commission requesting a referral under Article 4(5) EUMR, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable, but in any event within twenty (20) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, (iii) for each jurisdiction set forth on Exhibit 5.04(iii), filing the notifications and filings under the relevant Competition Laws as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than August 31, 2018, unless an earlier deadline is specified on Exhibit 5.04(iii), (iv) jointly preparing and filing with CFIUS, within twenty (20) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, a draft joint voluntary notice pursuant to the DPA relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and then within fifteen (15) Business Days after receiving comments on the draft joint voluntary notice from CFIUS, jointly file with CFIUS a joint voluntary notice pursuant to the DPA with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (v) with respect to the Purchaser, filing an application seeking the FIRB Approval with the Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Australia within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, and (vi) supplying as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within the required timeframe (subject to receiving an extension of time), to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the applicable Competition Laws or in connection with the CFIUS Approval or the FIRB Approval. The Purchaser and Seller also agree that if CFIUS suggests or requests, and the Purchaser and Seller mutually determine it to be appropriate, that the parties withdraw and resubmit the joint voluntary notice submitted to CFIUS, the Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in withdrawing and resubmitting the joint voluntary notice.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to Section 5.04(a), each of the Purchaser and the Purchaser Parent agrees to use its best efforts and to take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Competition Law that may be asserted by any United States or non-United States governmental or supranational antitrust, competition or merger control authority so as to enable the parties hereto to expeditiously close the transactions contemplated hereby no later than the Termination Date, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, commitment, undertaking, hold separate orders, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of such of its (or its Affiliates’) assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties

or businesses to be acquired by it pursuant hereto as are required to be divested in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, each of the parties hereto shall use its best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) under Competition Law that would prevent the Closing by the Termination Date. The Purchaser shall, in consultation with the Seller, be entitled to direct the defense of the transactions contemplated hereby before any Governmental Authority and to take the lead in the scheduling of, and strategic planning for, any meetings with, and the conducting of negotiations with, Governmental Authorities regarding the required clearances and approvals under any Competition Law; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall obviate the Purchaser’s and the Purchaser Parent’s obligations pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.04(b).

(c) In addition to the obligations under Section 5.04(b) (which apply only to Competition Laws), each party to this Agreement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the CFIUS Approval and FIRB Approval as soon as practicable, including using commercially reasonable efforts to take all such action as may be necessary to resolve national security concerns, if any, that CFIUS or the Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Australia may raise with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Each party to this Agreement shall promptly notify the other party of any communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permit the other party to review in advance any proposed substantive communication by such party to any Governmental Authority (or, where the proposed substantive communication is competitively sensitive, permit the other party’s external legal advisers to do so). To the extent practicable, no party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting (withdrawing from any such meeting as and when matters which are competitively sensitive arise). Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties to this Agreement will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties to this Agreement will provide each other (or, where the materials are competitively sensitive, the other party’s external legal advisers) with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its

staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Attorney-client, work product and any privileged information shall be exchanged so as to preserve the attorney-client, work product or any applicable privilege or confidentiality concerns.

SECTION 5.05. Notifications

Until the Closing, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any fact, change, condition, circumstance or occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event of which it is aware that will or is reasonably likely to result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

SECTION 5.06. Transition Services

(a) The Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to finalize, within sixty (60) days following the date of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of a transition services agreement, including the service schedules thereto (the “Transition Services Agreement”), to be entered into by the Seller and the Purchaser as of the Closing, pursuant to which the Seller shall, after the Closing, provide, or cause to be provided, to the Business certain services that are currently provided by the Seller and its Affiliates to the Business. In the event the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to reach an agreement on a Transition Services Agreement, the Seller and the Purchaser shall enter into the Transition Services Agreement attached as Exhibit 5.06 hereto; provided, that (a) the fees payable by the Purchaser (or the Acquired Companies) for any transition service shall not exceed Seller’s Cost for providing such service (for the avoidance of doubt, the fees payable by the Purchaser for a specific transition service may increase or decrease from time to time to the extent Seller’s Cost for providing such services increases or decreases) and (b) the indemnification obligations of each of the Seller, on the one hand, or the Purchaser (or the Acquired Companies), on the other hand, under the Transition Services Agreement shall not exceed the aggregate amount of fees paid by the Purchaser (or the Acquired Companies) to the Seller pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement. To the Seller’s Knowledge, the services included in the Transition Services Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 5.06 are all of the additional services that would be required if the Acquired Companies were to continue to operate as subsidiaries of the Seller during the term of the Transition Services Agreement in substantially the same manner as they operated immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) For purposes of this Section 5.06 and the Transition Services Agreement, “Seller’s Cost” means, with respect to the provision of any transition service:

(i) in the case of a transition service or portion thereof provided by the Seller through the use of a third party service provider, the cost to the Seller, as the case may be, of such service or portion thereof incurred following, or as a result of, the Closing, including any transfer fees and new or initial set-up costs incurred as a result of the provision of the services; and

(ii) in the case of a transition service or portion thereof provided by the Seller without the use of a third party service provider, the cost to the Seller of providing such service, without any margin or profit, which shall be determined (A) if applicable, on the same basis and using an equivalent methodology as used by the Seller to allocate costs for purposes of determining the fully burdened EBIDTA of the Business for the year ended December 31, 2017 (which EBITDA was $390,000,000) or (B) if not applicable, by mutual agreement of the parties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the costs described in clause (i), on the one hand, and clause (ii), on the other hand, are not intended to be duplicative with respect to any transition service; to the extent the historical allocation of costs described in clause (ii) includes the costs of any service that was provided by the Seller to the Business but is subsequently provided by a third party service provider, such allocation shall be reduced to the extent of the allocated cost to the Seller of providing such service.

SECTION 5.07. Further Action

Subject to the other express provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, upon the request of the Purchaser, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist with such efforts to obtain, any consents or waivers in respect of Contracts required with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any consents required from original product manufacturers in connection with the assignment of the Product Registrations contemplated by Section 2.04(k); provided, however, that such efforts shall not include any requirement that the Seller, any Acquired Company or the Purchaser expend money (other than de minimis amounts) or offer or grant any accommodation to any third party (and no offer or grant of any accommodation or change in terms of a Contract will be provided without the prior written consent of the Purchaser); and provided further, that so long as the Seller has complied with its obligations under this Section 5.07, the failure of the Acquired Companies to obtain any such consent or waiver shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 5.07 for purposes of Section 8.02(a)(ii).

SECTION 5.08. Non-Compete

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), the Seller will not, and it will cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, engage in any business anywhere in the world that competes with the Business as conducted by the Acquired Companies immediately prior to the Closing Date (such business, a “Competitive

Business”), or own an interest in, manage, operate, join, control, lend money or render financial or other assistance to or participate in or be connected with, as a partner, stockholder, consultant or otherwise, any Person that competes with the Business; provided, however, that, for the purposes of this Section 5.08(a), the acquisition or ownership of (i) Equity Interests having no more than 5% of the outstanding voting power of any Person which are listed on any national securities exchange as long as the Person owning such securities has no other connection or relationship with such Person or (ii) Equity Interests of any Person or business that derives less than fifteen percent (15%) of its gross revenue from a Competitive Business in its most recent completed fiscal year, will not be deemed to be in violation of this Section 5.08(a). In the event the Seller and/or its Affiliates acquire any Person or business that has derived fifteen percent (15%) or more of its gross revenue from a Competitive Business in its most recent completed fiscal year, the Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to divest assets relating to the Competitive Business within twelve (12) months after the consummation of such acquisition such that, after giving effect to such divestiture, the acquired Person or business would have generated less than such amount of its consolidated revenues from the Competitive Business for the most recent completed fiscal year prior to the acquisition of such Person or business. Notwithstanding the foregoing if Seller or any of its Affiliates shall sell all or any portion of their respective businesses (whether by means of acquisition, asset purchase, merger, consolidation, similar business combination or otherwise) to any Person who is not an Affiliate of the Seller, the restrictions contained in this Section 5.08 shall not prohibit such sale and shall not apply to any such Person or such Person’s Affiliates (other than the Seller and its Affiliates prior to such sale) following consummation of such sale, provided that (A) following such sale, the restrictions contained in this Section 5.08 shall continue to apply to the Seller and those Persons that were the Seller’s Affiliates prior to such sale until the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) if Seller or any of its Affiliates sell only a portion of their respective businesses, after consummation of such sale, Seller and/or its Affiliates, as the case may be, shall continue to be subject to this Section 5.08.

(b) The Restricted Period will be extended by the length of any period during which the Seller or any of its Affiliates is in breach of the terms of Section 5.08(a).

SECTION 5.09. Non-Solicitation

From the date hereof until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, for itself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, (a) solicit or hire or employ or engage any Person in any capacity who at any time during the preceding 12-month period was an employee of, or consultant providing agro-chemical services or services analogous to those provided by an executive officer to, any Acquired Company for whom the base annual compensation for such Person during such period exceeded $200,000 or (b) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, strategic partner, supplier, distributor, landlord or others doing business with the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries to cease or reduce the extent of its business relationship with the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries or to deal with any competitor of the Purchaser, the Company or any of

their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries; provided, however, that this Section 5.09 will not be deemed to prohibit the Seller from (i) engaging in general media advertising or solicitation that is not targeted towards employees of the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries and hiring any Person who responds to any such general solicitation, (ii) soliciting, hiring, employing or engaging any Person who has left the service of the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries, at least six (6) months prior to the Closing Date, (iii) soliciting, hiring, employing or engaging any of the employees, contractors or consultants of Seller whose names are listed on Exhibit 5.09 attached hereto and (iv) engaging any consultant providing services in respect of any matter not related to the Business, except for, in the case of this clause (iv), any consultant providing services analogous to those provided by an executive officer to the Business.

SECTION 5.10. No Negotiation

The Purchaser shall, upon the written request of Seller, provide the Seller with written evidence reasonably

satisfactory to the Seller of the Purchaser’s compliance with this Section 5.15(a).

(B) maintaining the Debt Commitment Papers in full force and effect (up to the Closing) in accordance with its terms to the extent within its control; (C) negotiating and entering into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Papers (including any market flex provisions therein) or on such other terms agreed to by Purchaser (provided, that such other terms would not reasonably be likely to make funding of the Debt Financing less likely to occur on the Closing Date);(D) consummating the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing if the conditions to the availability of the Debt Financing have been satisfied or waived, including enforcing its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter to cause the Lenders to fund the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing; and (E) satisfying on a timely basis (taking into account the time periods specified in the Debt Commitment Letter and the anticipated timing of the Closing) all conditions to the availability of the Debt Financing that are within the control of the Purchaser. If any portion of the Debt Financing expires or terminates or otherwise becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter, the Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller thereof and use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for and obtain as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of any such event alternative debt financing (the “Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient to replace any unavailable portion of the Debt Financing without the imposition of new conditions or expansion of existing conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter or other contingencies to the obligations of the counterparties thereto to procure the provision of, or provide, the entire amount of the unavailable portion of the Debt Financing, it being understood that if the Purchaser proceeds with any Alternative Financing, the Purchaser shall be subject to the same obligations with respect to such Alternative Financing as set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Debt Financing. The Purchaser shall promptly provide to the Seller a copy of any commitment letters or other agreements in respect of any such Alternative Financing and any fee letters related thereto (with fee amounts redacted). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall “reasonable best efforts” require, or be deemed to require, the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) to cash collateralize any portion of the Debt Financing; or require the Purchaser’s ultimate parent to grant security interests in any of its assets to any Financing Sources, provide any guaranty in respect of any portion of the Debt Financing, or enter into any arrangement that would reasonably be expected to require any approval or consent from any Indian Governmental Authority.

(ii) The Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the proceeds of the Equity Financing at or prior to the Closing on the terms and conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, including: (A) complying with and performing all of its obligations under the Equity Commitment Letter that arise prior to Closing, (B) maintaining the Equity Commitment Letter in full force and effect in accordance with its terms to the extent within its control; (C) consummating the Equity Financing at or prior to the Closing, including enforcing its rights under the Equity Commitment Letter to cause the funding of the Equity Financing at or prior to the Closing; and (D) satisfying on a timely basis all conditions in the Equity Commitment Letter to the extent within its control.

(iii) The Purchaser shall not replace, adversely amend, adversely supplement, adversely modify or adversely waive the Equity Commitment Letter or any provision thereof without the Seller’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that no such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of the Equity Commitment Letter shall have the effect of (x) reducing the aggregate amount of the commitment thereunder or (y) modifying in any manner adverse to the Purchaser any of the conditions precedent to the obligation of the Investors to fund the entire amount of the Equity Financing thereunder. The Purchaser shall not replace, amend, supplement, modify or waive the Debt Commitment Papers or any provision thereof without the Seller’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such replacement, amendment, supplement, modification or waiver would: (A) delay or prevent the Closing; (B) make the funding of any of the Debt Financing or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing less likely to occur; (C) reduce the aggregate amount of the commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter unless there is a corresponding increase in the amount of Equity Financing; (D) adversely impact the ability of the Purchaser to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Papers; (E) bring forward the expiry or termination date of the commitments of the Lenders under the Debt Commitment Letter; (F) permit or effect the assignment, release or termination of the Debt Commitment Letter or the commitments or obligations of any Lender thereunder other than in accordance with its terms; or (G) impose any new condition or expand, adversely amend or adversely modify in any manner any of the existing conditions to the receipt of any of the Debt Financing; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may modify, supplement or amend the Debt Commitment Papers solely to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents, other agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Papers as of the date hereof or to increase the amount of funds available thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall the Purchaser consent to or permit (including by amendment, waiver or otherwise) any assignment, reduction or novation of any commitment of any Lender or Investor under the Debt Commitment Papers or Equity Commitment Letter. Upon any permitted amendment, supplement, modification or replacement of the Debt Commitment Papers (including with respect to any Alternative Financing) or the Equity Commitment Letter in accordance with this Section 5.17(a)(iii), the term “Debt Commitment Papers” shall mean the Debt Commitment Papers as so amended, supplemented, modified or replaced, the term “Equity Commitment Letter” shall mean the Equity Commitment Letter as so amended, supplemented, modified or replaced, and references to “Financings”, “Equity Financing”, “Debt Financing” and/or “Alternative Financing” shall including the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Papers and/or the Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable, as so amended, supplemented, modified or replaced.

(iv) The Purchaser shall provide the Seller prompt notice (A) upon receiving written notice or a written communication in respect of, or otherwise obtaining knowledge of, any breach, default, repudiation, cancellation or termination (or any event or circumstance that, with or without the lapse of time, the giving of notice or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach, default, repudiation, cancellation or termination) by any party (including any Lender or Investor) of the Commitment Letters or any other agreement or document relating to the Debt Financing or Equity Financing, and (B) of any written notice from a party to any Commitment Letter (including any Lender or any Investor), or otherwise obtaining knowledge, that it no longer intends to provide any portion of the Debt Financing or Equity Financing to the Purchaser on the terms set forth therein. The Purchaser shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Seller relating to any circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. In addition, the Purchaser shall, from time to time upon request (of a reasonable frequency), keep the Seller informed in reasonable detail of the status of the Debt Financing and the Equity Financing.

(v) The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, the Acquired Companies and their respective Representatives and Affiliates from and against all losses or damages suffered by, and all claims made against, such Persons in connection with their compliance with, or any actions taken by any of them in connection with, Section 5.17(b), except to the extent suffered or incurred as a result of any such indemnitee’s, or such indemnitee’s respective Representative’s, gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement that would result in the failure of the condition precedent in Section 8.02(a). The Purchaser shall promptly, upon request by the Seller, reimburse the Seller, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Person in connection with their compliance with, or any actions taken by any of them in connection with, Section 5.17(b).

incentive compensation opportunities offered prior to the Closing), and (B) employee benefit plans, programs, policies and fringe benefits (including vacation, personal days and sick leave benefits, but excluding equity-based compensation) that are substantially comparable in value in the aggregate to those available to the employees by the Acquired Companies immediately prior to the Closing Date. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon any employee any right to continued employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates, nor shall anything herein interfere with the right of Purchaser or its Affiliates to relocate or terminate the employment of any employee at any time after the Closing Date. Furthermore, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.01 shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Continuing Employee or current or former service provider of the Seller or any Acquired Company (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall cause all Plans and each other employee benefit plan of the Seller, as applicable, covering employees of the Company and the Subsidiaries, other than any equity-based plans and, for the avoidance of doubt, any change in control agreements or arrangements, to be separate and stand-alone plans of the Company and each of the applicable Subsidiaries (the “Stand-Alone Plans”), and to the extent any Stand-Alone Plans are created after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing covering employees of the Acquired Companies to the extent permitted under Section 5.01, the Seller shall provide copies of such Stand-Alone Plans to the Purchaser at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing.

SECTION 6.02. Works Councils

In accordance with applicable Law and the terms of any Contract or Plans, prior to the Closing, each party hereto shall reasonably cooperate and consult with the other in connection with any requirement of the Seller or the Acquired Companies to notify, inform or consult with any Works Council in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the preparation and dissemination of any information note required in connection with any Works Council consultation process. In connection with the foregoing, the Seller shall (a) consult with the Purchaser and keep the Purchaser informed of the timeline for any consultation process, (b) provide the Purchaser with reasonable advance notice of, and shall permit the Purchaser to review and shall incorporate the Purchaser’s reasonable comments in, any communication to be given by the Seller or any Acquired Company to any Works Council in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (c) provide the Purchaser with reasonable advance notice of, and the opportunity to participate in, any meetings with any Works Council or representatives thereof in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (d) promptly provide the Purchaser with any written opinion, similar documentation or summaries of other material communications issued or delivered by any Works Council.

ARTICLE VII

TAX MATTERS

SECTION 7.01. Tax Indemnity; Preparation of Tax Returns

(a) From and after the Closing the Seller shall indemnify and defend the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) and their respective Representatives against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, all Income Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) imposed on or with respect to the assets and operations of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or portion thereof and any Seller Taxes except to the extent such Taxes are treated as a liability in calculating Closing Net Working Capital. From and after the Closing the Purchaser shall indemnify and defend the Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, all Income Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) imposed on or with respect to the assets and operations of the Acquired Companies for any Post-Closing Tax Period or portion thereof.

(b) The Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Income Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for Tax periods that end on or before the Closing Date (each, a “Seller Tax Return”) that have not been filed on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company or the relevant Operating Subsidiary shall bear the cost of the tax return preparer retained by Seller for this purpose. For this purpose, the parties agree that the tax year of the Company for federal Income Tax purposes shall end at the end of the Closing Date and Purchaser and the Company shall make all elections and take such other actions necessary to effectuate the foregoing, including by including the Company and any of its U.S. Subsidiaries in a consolidated Income Tax Return with Seller. All such Seller Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with past practices of the Company or the relevant Operating Subsidiary, respectively, unless a different treatment of any item is required by an intervening change in Law. Seller shall provide such Seller Tax Returns, other than consolidated Income Tax Returns, to the Purchaser and shall pay Purchaser any Taxes shown as due on such Seller Tax Returns for the Pre-Closing Tax Period (except to the extent such Taxes are taken into account in calculating Closing Net Working Capital), other than consolidated Income Tax Returns, within one (1) Business Day before the due date for such Taxes or the due date for filing such Seller Tax Returns, whichever is earlier. The Seller shall be responsible for all non-Income Tax Returns for Tax periods that are due on or before the Closing Date.

(c) The Purchaser shall prepare and file (or cause the Acquired Companies to prepare and file) all Income Tax Returns other than Seller Tax Returns that relate to any Acquired Company for Straddle Periods (“Straddle Tax Returns”). Such Straddle Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior taxable periods unless a different treatment of any item is required by an intervening change in Law. Purchaser shall submit a final draft of each Straddle Tax Return to the Seller for review and approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for such Straddle Tax Return. The Seller shall pay to the Company within five (5) days following the finalization of each Straddle Tax Return all Income Taxes required to be paid with respect to such Straddle Tax Return to the extent such Income Taxes are allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period under Section 7.01(e) and have not been taken into account in the final Closing Net Working Capital or in computing the Purchase Price. If, within

twenty (20) days after the receipt of the Straddle Tax Return, the Seller (i) notifies the Purchaser that it disputes the manner of preparation of the Straddle Tax Return or the portion of such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period calculated by the Purchaser and (ii) provides the Purchaser with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail its computation of the portion of such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and its proposed form of the Straddle Tax Return, then Purchaser and the Seller shall attempt to resolve their disagreement within five (5) days following the Seller’s notification of Purchaser of such disagreement. If the Purchaser and the Seller are not able to resolve their disagreement, the dispute shall be submitted to the Accountant. The Accountant will resolve the disagreement in a manner consistent with this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the date on which they are engaged or as soon as possible thereafter. The determination of the Accountant shall be binding on the parties. The cost of the services of the Accountant will be borne by the party whose calculation of the matter in disagreement differs the most from the calculation as finally determined by the Accountant. If each of the party’s calculation differs equally from the calculation as finally determined by the Accountant, then such cost will be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Seller and fifty percent (50%) by the Purchaser. If the Accountant is unable to resolve any such dispute prior to the due date for such Straddle Tax Return, such Straddle Tax Return shall be timely filed as prepared by the Purchaser subject to amendment, if necessary to reflect the resolution by the Accountant.

(d) Purchaser shall not permit any Acquired Company to take any action, other than transactions in the Ordinary Course of Business, consistent with past practice, or transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or pursuant to any Contract entered into prior to Closing that could increase Seller’s indemnification obligation for Taxes under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). None of Purchaser, any Affiliate of Purchaser, the Company nor any Operating Subsidiary shall (or shall cause or permit any Acquired Company to), unless otherwise required by Law or a taxing authority or consented to by the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), amend, re-file or otherwise modify any Tax Return of the Company or such Operating Subsidiary, with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period, or extend or waive the statute of limitations with respect to any Taxes for which Seller could have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement.

(e) Whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of any Acquired Company for a Straddle Period, the determination of the Taxes of such Acquired Company for the portion of the year or period ending on, and the portion of the year or period beginning after, the Closing Date generally shall be determined by assuming that the Acquired Company had a taxable year or period which ended at the close of the Closing Date, except that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (such as the deduction for depreciation).

(f) Any Tax refunds received from a Governmental Authority that are received by the Purchaser or the Company or an Operating Subsidiary (or the Affiliates of any of them), and credits in lieu of a cash Tax refund against Tax to which the

Purchaser or Company or any Operating Subsidiary (or the Affiliates of either of them) become entitled, that relate to Pre-Closing Tax Periods (which, for any Straddle Period, shall be determined consistently with the computation of pre-Closing Taxes) shall be for the account of the Seller, except to the extent such Taxes are taken into account in calculating Closing Net Working Capital (subject to Section 5.16), and Purchaser shall pay over to Seller any such refund and interest or the amount of any such credit within five (5) days after receipt or entitlement thereto, net of (i) any reasonable costs associated with obtaining such refund, (ii) any applicable withholding Taxes required to be withheld on such payment, and (iii) any Taxes incurred (net of Tax benefit realized) in respect of the receipt or payment of such refund to Seller.

SECTION 7.02. Tax Cooperation and Exchange of Information

The Seller and the Purchaser shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other (and the Purchaser shall cause the Acquired Companies to provide such cooperation and information) in filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining a liability for Taxes or a right to a refund of Taxes or participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by taxing authorities. The Seller and the Purchaser shall make themselves (and their respective employees) reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided under this Section 7.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.02, each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall retain all Tax Returns, work papers and all material records or other documents in its possession (or in the possession of its Affiliates) relating to Tax matters of any Acquired Company for any taxable period that includes the date of the Closing and for all prior taxable periods until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions or (ii) six (6) years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. After such time, before the Seller or the Purchaser shall dispose of any such documents in its possession (or in the possession of its Affiliates), the other party shall be given an opportunity, after ninety (90) days prior written notice, to remove and retain all or any part of such documents as such other party may select (at such other party’s expense). Any information obtained under this Section 7.02 shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.

SECTION 7.03. Conveyance Taxes

Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall be liable for and agrees to pay fifty percent (50%) of all Conveyance Taxes that may be imposed upon, or payable or collectible or incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Purchaser and the Seller agree to cooperate in the execution and delivery of all instruments and certificates necessary to comply with any pre-Closing filing requirements.

SECTION 7.04. Tax Contests

(a) If Purchaser or an Acquired Company receives notice of any audit, examination or other Tax proceeding from a tax authority involving an Acquired Company (a “Tax Proceeding”) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period for a Tax for which the Seller is liable, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing of such fact; provided that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the indemnified party except to the extent the rights or obligations of the Seller is actually prejudiced.

(b) The Seller shall have the right to defend the Acquired Company in any Tax Proceeding (including the right to extend or waive any statute of limitations applicable to Taxes for which the Seller is liable) that could materially affect the liability of the Seller (or refunds to which the Seller would be entitled) hereunder at the expense of the Seller if (i) the Seller notifies Purchaser in writing within thirty (30) days after Purchaser has given notice of such Tax Proceeding, (ii) if Seller requested the Company to pay a Tax claimed and xxx for a refund, Seller shall have advanced to the Company, on an interest free basis, the full amount the indemnified party is required to pay, and (iii) the Seller conducts the defense of the Tax Proceeding in a commercially reasonable manner.

(c) The Seller shall be entitled to prosecute such Tax Proceeding to a determination in a court of initial jurisdiction, and if the Seller shall reasonably request, to a determination in an appellate court.

(d) Seller shall not be entitled to settle or to contest any claim relating to Taxes unless Purchaser has consented to such settlement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) If, after actual receipt by an Acquired Company or its Affiliates of an amount advanced by Seller pursuant to Section 7.04(b) above, such amount is refunded or credited to the Acquired Company or its Affiliates following judgment or decree of a court that has become final or a binding settlement with an administrative agency having jurisdiction thereof that has become final, the Acquired Company shall promptly pay to Seller any such refund or credit, net of the net Income Tax cost (if any) to the Acquired Company and its Affiliates of (i) the advance of such amount by Seller, (ii) the refund of such amount to Purchaser or its Affiliates and (iii) the payment thereof to Seller.

(f) The provisions of this Section 7.04, rather than the provisions of Section 10.04, shall govern the conduct of any and all Tax Proceedings.

SECTION 7.05. Section 338 Election

(a) At the request and sole expense of the Purchaser, the Seller (and any other necessary Person) shall assist the Purchaser in determining whether an election or elections under Section 338 of the Code (and any corresponding election under state, local, and non-US Law) (each a “Section 338 Election”) with respect to the actual or constructive acquisition of the Shares of the Company or any other Acquired Company

pursuant to this Agreement can be made without unreasonable cost, expense, time or effort by the Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall have no obligation to assist Purchaser in making this determination if this would require an unreasonable amount of time or effort by the Seller or otherwise interfere with Seller’s operations, to be determined by Seller in its own discretion. If the Purchaser and the Seller mutually agree that the Purchaser may make a Section 338 Election, then the Purchaser, the Seller, and the Acquired Companies shall report the transaction consistent with such Section 338 Elections and shall not to take any action that could cause such Section 338 Elections to be invalid, and shall take no position contrary thereto. In the event that the Purchaser and Seller agree that the Purchaser may make a Section 338 Election, without limiting the foregoing, the Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser to properly complete, duly execute and timely file any required IRS Form 8023 (and any corresponding state, local or non-US form) within the time period required by applicable Law.

(b) In the event that the Purchaser and the Seller agree that the Purchaser may make a Section 338 Election in accordance with Section 7.05(a), then the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller an allocation of the Final Purchase Price (and other applicable amounts for Tax purposes), which allocation shall be reasonably acceptable to the Seller, among the assets of the Acquired Companies in accordance with Section 338 and Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of applicable state, local or non-US Law) (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Each party shall prepare and file, and cause its Affiliates to prepare and file, all required Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation (including any required IRS Form 8883 and any similar state, local or non-US forms) and shall take no position, and cause its Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation on any Tax Return or in any audit or other Action with respect to Taxes or otherwise. In the event that the Purchase Price Allocation is disputed by any Governmental Authority, the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other party of such dispute, and each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend such Purchase Price Allocation in any audit or other Action and not to settle or otherwise dispose of such audit or other Action without the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) In the event that the Purchaser and Seller agree that the Purchaser may make a Section 338 Election, as soon as practicable (but no later than thirty (30) days) after delivery of the Purchase Price Allocation pursuant to Section 7.05(b), the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser for review and comment a detailed draft schedule calculating the amount of additional consideration on a “with and without” basis that the Purchaser would need to pay in order to cause the Seller’s after-Tax proceeds from the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, with all requested Section 338 Elections assumed being made, to be equal to the after-Tax net proceeds that the Seller would have received from such transactions, without any Section 338 Election being made, taking into account the U.S. federal, state, local and non-US Income Tax consequences of each requested Section 338 Election as appropriate. The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with all such information as is reasonably requested with respect

to the calculation of such amounts. All reasonable comments of the Purchaser shall be considered in good faith by the Seller and, if agreed to by the Seller, incorporated into the calculation of such amounts as finalized (the finalized amount, the “Section 338 Tax Adjustment Amount”).

(d) If any Section 338 Election is made in accordance with this Section 7.05, the Purchaser shall pay the applicable Section 338 Tax Adjustment Amount to the Seller no later than five (5) days prior to the due date (including any extension) for the filing of its U.S. federal Income Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date.

SECTION 7.06. Miscellaneous

(a) For purposes of this Article VII, all references to the Purchaser, the Seller, Affiliates, the Company and any Operating Subsidiary include successors.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the covenants and agreements of the parties hereto contained in this Article VII shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations for the Taxes in question (taking into account any extensions or waivers thereof).

(c) Any Tax sharing agreement or arrangement between the Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies), on the one hand, and any of the Acquired Companies, on the other hand, shall have been terminated, and all payments thereunder settled, immediately prior to the Closing with no payments permitted to be made thereunder on and after the date of the Closing.

(d) All payments made under this Article VII shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Under no circumstances will the Seller be entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and the Purchaser Termination Fee.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Financing Source shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties hereto or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise), based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. In no event shall the Seller or any of its Affiliates, and the Seller agrees not to and to cause its Affiliates not to, (i) seek to

(f) the Seller and its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Companies) and their respective businesses, assets, liabilities and employees.

For purposes of this Section 10.01, any inaccuracy in, or breach of any representation or warranty or other statement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.06(d)(ii) and Section 3.08(b)), and the amount of any Losses associated therewith, will be determined without regard for any materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualification.

SECTION 10.02. Indemnification by the Purchaser

Subject to the limitations expressly set forth in Section 10.06, from and after the Closing, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its directors, officers, equity owners, employees, agents and other advisors and representatives (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and will pay to the Seller Indemnified Parties the monetary value of, any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties arising out of, relating to or resulting from any of the following:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty or other statement of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement; or

For purposes of this Section 10.02, any inaccuracy in, or breach of any representation or warranty or other statement, and the amount of any Losses associated therewith, will be determined without regard to any materiality, material adverse effect or similar qualification contained therein.

SECTION 10.03. Claim Procedure

(a) A party that seeks indemnity under this Article X (an “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) containing (i) a description and, if known, the estimated amount of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Claim Notice to the extent of the facts then known by the Indemnified Party and (iii) a demand for payment of those Losses.

(b) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party will deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party will either:

(i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Losses at issue in the Claim Notice; or

(ii) dispute the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification by delivering to the Indemnified Party a written notice (an “Objection Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail each disputed item, the basis for each such disputed item and certifying that all such disputed items are being disputed in good faith.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party fails to take either of the foregoing actions within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Claim Notice and the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably agreed to pay the Losses at issue in the Claim Notice.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party delivers an Objection Notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Claim Notice, then the dispute may be resolved by any legally available means consistent with the provisions of Section 11.12.

(e) Any indemnification of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article X will be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Seller to an account designated by the Purchaser, and any indemnification of the Seller pursuant to this Article X will be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller.

(f) The foregoing indemnification payments will be made within five (5) Business Days after the date on which (i) the amount of such payments are determined by mutual agreement of the parties, (ii) the amount of such payments are determined pursuant to Section 10.03(c) if an Objection Notice has not been timely delivered in accordance with Section 10.03(b) or (iii) both such amount and the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to pay such amount have been finally determined by a final Governmental Order of a court having jurisdiction over such proceeding as permitted by Section 11.12 if an Objection Notice has been timely delivered in accordance with Section 10.03(b).

SECTION 10.04. Third Party Claims

(a) If the Indemnified Party seeks indemnity under this Article X in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand, whether or not involving an Action, by another Person not a party to this Agreement other than any Tax Proceeding (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will include in the Claim Notice (i) notice of the commencement or threat of any Action relating to such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has received written notice of the commencement of the Third Party Claim and (ii) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Claim and the amount of the damages claimed by the other Person, in each case to the extent known to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability or obligation under this Agreement except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual Losses directly caused by the delay or other deficiency.

(b) If the Seller is the Indemnifying Party, the Purchaser shall be entitled to control the defense of any Third Party Claim, provided that all of the out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such defense will be considered and included as “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall be entitled to control the defense of any Third Party

Claim to the extent involving a Specified Matter, provided that (i) such Third Party Claim is not a Special Claim and (ii) the Seller retains counsel for the defense of such Third Party Claims reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser. A “Special Claim” means any Third Party Claim (A) involving criminal liability or (B) in which any relief other than monetary damages is sought against the Indemnified Party.

(c) The party controlling the defense (the “Controlling Party”) will reasonably advise the party not controlling the defense (the “Noncontrolling Party”) of the status of the Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and, with respect to any Third Party Claim that does not relate to a Special Claim, the Controlling Party will consider in good faith recommendations made by the Noncontrolling Party. The Noncontrolling Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim at its own cost and expense, unless the Noncontrolling Party is the Indemnified Party and the Noncontrolling Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to the Third Party Claim, then the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Noncontrolling Party will be considered and included as “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. The Noncontrolling Party will furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Claim and related Actions (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and will otherwise cooperate with and assist in the defense of the Third Party Claim.

(d) If the Indemnified Party is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party has the right to agree in good faith to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any Governmental Order arising from, the Third Party Claim subject to obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All amounts paid or payable under such settlement or Governmental Order are Losses that the Indemnifying Party owes to the Indemnified Party under this Article X. The Indemnifying Party will not agree to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any Governmental Order arising from, the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent the Indemnified Party will not unreasonably withhold or delay. The Indemnified Party will have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any Governmental Order arising from, any Third Party Claim effected without its consent.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.12, the Seller consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which an Action is brought by another Person against any Purchaser Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that a Purchaser Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with respect to the Action or the matters alleged therein. The Seller agrees that process may be served on it with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

SECTION 10.05. Survival.

(a) All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the covenants that by their terms were to be performed prior to the Closing will survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the Fundamental Warranties and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.15 will survive the Closing for a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.11 will survive the Closing for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date. The covenants contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms (or, if no survival period is specified), indefinitely.

(b) All claims for indemnification under Section 10.01(a), Section 10.01(c) or Section 10.02(a) must be asserted prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 10.05(a); provided, however, that if an Indemnified Party delivers to an Indemnifying Party, before expiration of the applicable survival period of a representation or warranty as set forth in Section 10.05(a), either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of any such representation or warranty, or a notice that, as a result of a claim or demand made by a Person not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party reasonably expects to incur Losses, then the applicable representation or warranty will survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such notice. If the claim with respect to which such notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party will promptly so notify the Indemnifying Party.

SECTION 10.06. Limitations on Liability

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(i) no indemnification payments will be made by or on behalf of the Seller or the Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.01(a), Section 10.01(c) or Section 10.02(a), as the case may be, in respect of any individual claim or series of claims having the same nature or origin where the Losses relating thereto are less than $400,000; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any indemnification with respect to any Fundamental Warranties or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.15;

(ii) the aggregate total amount in respect of which the Seller will be liable to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.01(a) (for the avoidance of doubt, after the application of Section 10.06(a)(vi)) will not exceed $14,700,000 (the “Seller’s Cap”); provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any indemnification with respect to any Fundamental Warranties of the Seller or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.15;

(iii) the aggregate total amount in respect of which the Seller will be liable to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.01(b) and in respect of breaches of Fundamental Warranties and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.15 will not exceed the Purchase Price;

(iv) the aggregate total amount in respect of which the Seller will be liable to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.01(c) will not exceed $6,000,000;

(v) the aggregate total amount in respect of which the Purchaser will be liable to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.02(a) will not exceed $210,000,000; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any indemnification with respect to any Fundamental Warranties of the Purchaser; and

(vi) any indemnification payments (excluding litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) required to be made by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant to Section 10.01(a) shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any indemnification with respect to any Fundamental Warranties of the Seller or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.15.

(b) The Indemnified Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses with respect to which it may be entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement (including Section 4.09) will limit the Liability of a party hereto to the other party hereto for fraud or willful misconduct.

(d) Any Loss shall be reduced by any Tax benefit actually realized by an Indemnified Party or an Affiliate of an Indemnified Party in the form of a refund or reduction in Taxes otherwise payable by the applicable Indemnified Party or its Affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses, including any such Tax benefit arising from a correlative Tax adjustment that has the effect of increasing a Tax for a Pre-Closing Tax Period and decreasing Taxes for a period after the Pre-Closing Tax Period for the taxable year such Loss is incurred; provided that any such Tax benefit shall be determined on a “with and without” basis, after all other Tax items of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates have been determined without the items giving rise to the Tax benefit.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ remedy for Losses with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties specified in Section 3.15 (other than Section 3.15(g)) and Section 3.16 shall not include Taxes for any period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date or Losses attributable thereto and (ii) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification for any Losses with respect to Taxes resulting from any actions or transactions occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing outside of the Ordinary Course of Business.

SECTION 10.07. Satisfaction of Claims

Claims for indemnification by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article X shall be satisfied as follows:

ARTICLE XI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

SECTION 11.01. Expenses

Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all costs and expenses, including, fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred; provided, however, that each of the Purchaser and the Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay fifty percent (50%) of all filing fees associated with the filings contemplated or required by Section 5.04, including any filing(s) required by the requirements of the antitrust laws of any relevant jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.02. Specific Performance

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and otherwise to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Nothing contained herein shall prevent a party from seeking damages in the event that specific performance is not available.

(b) The right of the Seller to obtain an injunction, or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, in each case, solely with respect to causing the Purchaser to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the requirements that (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.02 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at or shortly before the Closing (provided, such conditions would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur on any relevant date during the pendency of such action for specific performance)), (ii) the Debt Financing has been funded or would concurrently be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing (or the agent for the lenders under the Debt Commitment Papers has confirmed in writing that the Debt Financing will be funded subject only the funding of the Equity Financing at the Closing), (iii) the Equity Financing has been funded or would concurrently be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing if the Debt Financing is funded at the Closing and (iv) the Seller has irrevocably confirmed in writing that if specific performance or other equitable relief is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then the Closing will occur. To avoid doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not apply to or otherwise limit the right of the Seller to such injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief for obligations other than with respect to the obligations of the Purchaser to consummate the Closing.

SECTION 11.05. Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 11.06. Entire Agreement

This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, representations and undertakings, either written or oral, between the Seller and the Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality Agreement will remain in effect in accordance with its terms as modified pursuant to Section 5.03.

SECTION 11.07. Assignment

This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of the Seller and the Purchaser (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Seller or the Purchaser), as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may assign this Agreement to (a) an Affiliate of the Purchaser or (b) any lender to the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof as security for obligations to such lender in respect of the financing arrangements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and any refinancing or extensions thereof, provided that no assignment to any such Affiliate or lender shall relieve the Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement.

102

SECTION 11.08. Amendment

This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Seller and the Purchaser, and that identifies itself as an amendment to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the definitions of “Financing Sources” and “Lenders” and the provisions of Section 9.01, Section 9.03(b), Section 9.03(c), Section 11.06, Section 11.10, Section 11.12, Section 11.13 and this Section 11.08 (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of any such Section) may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated in a manner that adversely affects the Financing Sources or the Investors without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources or the Investors, as applicable, adversely affected thereby.

Any party to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other party or conditions to such party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

SECTION 11.10. No Third Party Beneficiaries

All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware; provided, however, that if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over such Action, such Action shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware state court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware. Consistent with the preceding sentence, the parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

SECTION 11.16. Exhibits and Schedules

The Exhibits and Disclosure Schedule to this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.17. Privileged Communications; Representation by Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx

(a) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, managers, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that Xxxxxxxxx Traurig LLP may serve as counsel to each and any of the Seller and its Affiliates (individually and collectively, the “Seller Representation Group”) in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and that, following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP (or any successor) may serve as counsel to the Seller Representation Group or any director, manager, member, partner, officer, employee or Affiliate of any member of the Seller Representation Group, in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements notwithstanding such representation or any continued representation any Acquired Company, and each of the parties hereto (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) hereby consents thereto.

(b) The parties agree to take the steps necessary to ensure that any privilege attaching as a result of Xxxxxxxxx Traurig LLP representing any Acquired Company solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (the “Engagement”) shall survive the Closing and shall remain in effect, provided that such privilege from and after the Closing shall be controlled by the Seller. As to any privileged attorney-client communications between Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP and any Acquired Company prior to the Closing Date that relate to the preparation for or negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”), the Purchaser and the Company together with any of their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, successors or assigns agree that no such party may use the Privileged Communications in any action against or involving any of the parties hereto after the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, solely in the context of a dispute between the Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) and the Purchaser and its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, (i) the Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Acquired Companies) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Engagement, and none of any Acquired Company shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Xxxxxxxxx Traurig LLP in respect of the Engagement constitute property of the client,

105

only the Seller and their Affiliates (and not the Company or any of its Affiliates) shall hold such property rights and (iii) Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such Privileged Communications to any of any Acquired Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Xxxxxxxxx Traurig LLP and any of any Acquired Company or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a dispute arises after the Closing between the Purchaser or any Acquired Company, on the one hand, and a third party other than (and unaffiliated with) the Seller, on the other hand, then the Purchaser or any Acquired Company (to the extent applicable) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure to such third party of confidential communications by Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP, and, in relation to such dispute, the Seller shall not be permitted to waive its attorney-client privilege with respect to such confidential communications without the Purchaser’s prior written consent.
