(b) Following receipt of the Preliminary Closing Statement, if the Stockholder Representative has any objections to such document as prepared by Buyer, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver written notice to Buyer of such dispute within forty-five (45) days after the date of such receipt thereof (the “Dispute Notice”). In the event that the Stockholder Representative does not deliver a Dispute Notice within such 45-day period, the Preliminary Working Capital Determination, Preliminary Cash Determination, Preliminary Closing Date Debt Determination and Preliminary Closing Date Transaction Expenses Determination set forth therein shall be final and binding as the “Closing Date Balance Sheet,” “Closing Date Working Capital,” “Closing Date Cash,” “Closing Date Debt” and “Closing Date Transaction Expenses,” respectively, for purposes of this Agreement.

The Arbitrator’s role in completing such review shall be limited to resolving such objections and determining the correct calculations to be used with respect to only the disputed portions of the Preliminary Closing Statement. In resolving such objections, the Arbitrator shall apply the provisions of this Agreement concerning determination of the amounts set forth in the Preliminary Closing Statement, and the decision of the Arbitrator shall be solely based on (i) whether such item objected to was prepared in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this Agreement concerning determination of the amounts set forth therein or (ii) whether the item objected to contains a mathematical or clerical error. The parties agree that the Arbitrator may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Preliminary Working Capital Determination, Preliminary Cash Determination, Preliminary Closing Date Debt Determination and Preliminary Closing Date Transaction Expenses Determination as agreed by Buyer and the Stockholder Representative or as determined by the Arbitrator, as the case may be, shall be final and binding as the “Closing Date Working Capital,” “Closing Date Cash,” “Closing Date Debt,” and “Closing Date Transaction Expenses,” respectively, for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) The parties hereto shall make available to the Arbitrator (if applicable), such books, records and other information (including work papers) that the Arbitrator may reasonably request in order to review the Preliminary Closing Statement. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator hereunder shall be paid by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of Sellers), on the other hand, based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by or on behalf of such party.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, Buyer agrees to take any and all steps and to make any and all undertakings necessary, including pursuing and defending against any Proceedings, to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, merger control, competition or trade regulation Requirements of Law, including under the HSR Act, that may be asserted by any Governmental Body with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, licensing or disposition of such assets or businesses of Buyer (or its subsidiaries or other Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) or otherwise taking or committing to take actions that limit Buyer’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of the businesses, product lines or assets of Buyer (or its subsidiaries or other Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies), in each case, as may be required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any Proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the Closing; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (i) Buyer, its subsidiaries and other Affiliates shall not be required to take any action in connection with, or agree to, any hold separate order, sale, divestitures or disposition or license of its existing or future assets or businesses (other than the Acquired Companies) and (ii) Buyer, its subsidiaries and other Affiliates shall not be required to take any actions in connection with, or agree to, any hold separate order, sale, divestiture or disposition or license of assets and businesses of the Acquired Companies other than relating to any Products (each, an “Included Product”) of the Acquired Companies which the Acquired Companies have forecasted to have sales of less than $80 million in the aggregate (provided that the Included Product with the greatest forecasted sales shall be excluded from such calculation), in each case in the period through and including 2019 in the Management Presentation dated August 2014 included in the Data Site as of 6:15 p.m. Eastern Time on October 8, 2014 (any action described in clause (i) and (ii), a “Burdensome Condition”). Buyer may, in accordance with the prior sentence, at its option, elect to divest its own assets or program related to a specific generic Product rather than divesting the assets or business of the Acquired Companies relating to that Product, and if it has made such an election, Buyer will not have any obligation to hold separate, sell divest, license or otherwise dispose of the Acquired Companies’ comparable Product but shall be obligated to divest, license or otherwise dispose of such Buyer assets or program, provided, that, for determining compliance under clause (ii) in the preceding sentence, the comparable product of the Acquired Companies will be deemed to have been held separate, divested, licensed or otherwise disposed. None of the Sellers, the Company nor any of their respective Affiliates or representatives shall make any offer, counter-offer, or otherwise engage in negotiations with any Governmental Body with respect to any proposed settlement, consent decree, consent order, commitment or remedy, without the express written approval of Buyer.

(e) The Sellers and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will require certain filings and actions under the provisions and requirements of ISRA with respect to the Tower facilities in Middlesex, New Jersey.

The Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to complete compliance with ISRA prior to Closing. If such compliance with ISRA cannot be reasonably completed prior to Closing, CorePharma shall file the required notice designating CorePharma as the responsible party; provided that, Buyer shall be indemnified for all costs incurred post-Closing to achieve compliance with ISRA which shall be paid out from the Escrow Fund on a dollar one basis other than costs to the extent attributable to or increased as a result of environmental impacts or Releases arising out of the post-Closing operations of CorePharma. The Sellers shall have the right to review and provide reasonable comments with respect to any post-Closing reports, property forms or other filings and the parties shall reasonably cooperate regarding the completion of all forms and the undertaking of all actions required under ISRA to effect the allocation of responsibilities under this Section 7.3(e).

(f) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates not to, acquire, or acquire any license to, any Person, property, business or assets, whether by merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise, that would cause the waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to expire or terminate after the End Date.

(g) This Section 7.3 shall not govern the parties’ obligations with respect to the Debt Financing (which shall be governed by Section 7.8).

(b) To extent the Companies or Buyer determine it is reasonably necessary to take such actions, each Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval by such number of shareholders of such Company as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code so as to render the parachute payment provisions of Section 280G of the Code inapplicable to any and all payments and/or benefits provided pursuant to contracts or arrangements that, in the absence of the executed Parachute Payment Waivers by the affected Persons under Section 7.7(a) above, might otherwise result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any amount and/or the provision of any benefit that would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code, with such stockholder approval to be obtained in a manner which satisfies all applicable requirements of such Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such Treasury Regulations.

Section 7.8

Financing.

(a) Buyer hereby acknowledges that the receipt of the Debt Financing (or any alternative financing) is not a condition to their obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that the failure to consummate the Closing because they have not obtained the Debt Financing would be a willful and material breach of this Agreement. Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter (including the “flex” provisions) as promptly as reasonably practicable on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the applicable Debt Commitment Letter pursuant to its terms, (ii) comply with its obligations under the applicable Debt Commitment Letter and any definitive agreements relating thereto (the “Debt Financing Documents”), (iii) negotiate and (subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.3) enter into the applicable Debt Financing Documents on a timely basis on terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contained therein or otherwise not less favorable to Buyer in the aggregate that those contained in the applicable Debt Commitment Letter or Alternative Debt Commitment Letter, (iv) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Buyer in the applicable Debt Financing Documents that are within its control (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any condition where the failure to be so satisfied is a direct result of the failure by the Companies or the Sellers to furnish information required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.8(c) or otherwise comply with their respective obligations hereunder), (v) enforce all of its rights under or with respect to the applicable Debt Financing Documents and (vi) consummate the applicable Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall keep the Stockholder Representative and the Companies informed on a reasonable basis and in reasonable detail, upon request, of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing (including providing, upon request, the Stockholder Representative and the Companies with copies of all definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing). Buyer shall give the Stockholder Representative and the Companies prompt notice upon having knowledge of any material breach by any party of any of the Debt Financing Documents or any termination of any of the Debt Financing Documents or any event, circumstance or development that makes the consummation of the Debt Financing materially less likely to occur. Other than as set forth in Section 7.8(b), Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, amend, modify, supplement or waive any of the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing Documents or any other provision of, or remedies under, the Debt Financing Documents, in each case to the extent such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver would reasonably be expected to have the effect of (A) reducing the aggregate amount of Debt Financing to an amount below the amount required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) making the funding of the Debt Financing less likely to occur, (C) amending, modifying, supplementing or waiving the conditions or contingencies to the Debt Financing (including imposing additional conditions or contingencies) in a manner that could have the effect of preventing, impeding, adversely affecting the likelihood of or delaying the Closing, (D) adversely affecting Buyer’s rights against the lenders party to the Debt Commitment Letter on the date hereof or (E) adversely affecting the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the End Date; provided that, subject to the foregoing, the Debt Commitment Letter may be amended to include additional commitment parties thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Debt Commitment Letter may be amended to include the Persons previously identified by Buyer to the Sellers. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, in no event will Buyer be under any obligation to disclose any information that is subject to any applicable legal privilege (including the attorney-client privilege).

(b) If all or any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to promptly obtain the Debt Financing or such portion of the Debt Financing from alternative sources, in an amount sufficient, when added to available cash and marketable securities, available lines of credit or other sources of immediately available funds, and any portion of the Debt Financing that is available, to pay in cash all amounts required to be paid by Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Alternative Debt Financing”), including obtaining a new financing commitment letter (the “Alternative Debt Commitment Letter”) and a new definitive agreement with respect thereto that provides for such financing on terms not less favorable, (as reasonably determined by Buyer), in the aggregate, to Buyer than the terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter on the date hereof and with lenders reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. In such event, the term “Debt Financing” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Alternative Debt Financing, and the term “Debt Commitment Letter” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Alternative Debt Commitment Letter.

(c) Prior to the Closing, each of the Companies shall, and shall cause the Companies’ Subsidiaries to, use its and their respective commercially reasonable efforts, and to use its and their commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, consultants, investment bankers, legal counsel, agents and other advisors and representatives (collectively, the “Advisors”) to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to provide all reasonable customary cooperation in connection with the arrangement, syndication and consummation of the Debt Financing or any permitted replacement, amendment or modification thereof or any Alternative Debt Financing for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Available Financing”), including providing information regarding the Companies required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act that is requested by Buyer at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and using commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) participate in a reasonable number of meetings (including one-on-one meetings or conference calls with the parties acting as agents or arrangers for, and prospective lenders of, the Debt Financing, and senior management and the employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other Advisors of the Companies), lender presentations, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions and sessions with prospective lenders, investors and rating agencies and other syndication activities, in each case that are customary for financings of a type similar to the Available Financing; (ii) furnish Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources, as promptly as reasonably practicable, with the financial statements set forth in item 4 on Exhibit C of the Debt Commitment Letter; (iii) assist Buyer and its Debt Financing Sources in the preparation of (A) any syndication documents and materials, including information memoranda, lender presentations and other marketing documents customarily used to arrange financing similar to the Available Financing (collectively, the “Marketing Documentation”); and (B) materials for rating agency presentations; (v) furnish Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources with customary authorization letters with respect to the presence or absence of material non-public information and accuracy of the information contained therein to be included in the Marketing Documentation and cooperate with the marketing efforts of Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources for any portion of the Available Financing; (v) assist in the negotiation of and assisting in the preparation of any credit or other agreements, pledge or security documents, or other certificates or documents, and the respective schedules and exhibits thereto, in connection with the Available Financing; (vi) cooperate with Buyer’s legal counsel in connection with any legal opinions that such legal counsel may be required to deliver in connection with the Available Financing; (vii) assist Buyer in obtaining surveys and title insurance as reasonably requested by Buyer provided, however, there shall be no obligation to deliver an indemnity to obtain a non-imputation endorsement; (viii) facilitate the obtaining of (A) audit reports and consents of accountants and auditors with respect to financial statements and other financial information for the Companies for inclusion in any Marketing Documentation and (B) pay-off letters, control agreement releases, intellectual property security agreement releases, mortgage releases, hedge terminations, lien terminations and other similar terminations or releases, in each case as reasonably requested by Buyer and customary for financings similar to the Available Financing; (ix) otherwise reasonably facilitate the granting of a security interest (and perfection thereof) in collateral (including assisting with the drafting of disclosure schedules and perfection certificates and providing original copies of all certificated securities with transfer powers executed in blank); and (x) provide financial statements (including monthly financial statements) in the form and to the extent provided internally to senior management of the Companies as promptly as practicable (but in no event less than five (5) Business Days) after providing such financial statements internally to senior management of the Companies; provided, that none of the Sellers or the Companies shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with the Available Financing that would be effective prior to the Closing; and provided, further, that the effectiveness of any documentation (other than customary authorization and representation letters) executed by any Company with respect thereto shall be subject to the consummation of the Closing. The Companies shall not be required to take any action hereunder that unreasonably interferes with the operation of their business. Any information provided to Buyer or any other Person pursuant to this Section 7.8(c) shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, if to the Knowledge of Sellers any information specifically provided by any of the Acquired Companies to Buyer in connection with the Debt Financing (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the Schedules or any projections, forecasts or forward-looking information) contains any misstatement of any material fact, the Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Buyer such information as may be necessary to correct such information. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that none of the Sellers nor any Company nor any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and advisors (including legal, financial and accounting advisors) shall have any responsibility for, or incur any liability to any person under or in connection with, the arrangement of the Debt Financing or any Alternative Debt Financing that Buyer may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative, the Sellers, the Companies and their respective Affiliates and directors, officers, employees, representatives and advisors (including legal, financial and accounting advisors) from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by them solely and directly in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing or any Alternative Debt Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than (i) information provided by the Sellers or the Companies expressly for use in connection therewith or (ii) to the extent arising from the willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or bad faith of any of the Sellers or the Companies). Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly, upon written request, reimburse the Companies for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by the Companies in connection with providing financing cooperation provided for assistance requested by Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.8(c). The Companies hereby consent to the use of their logos in connection with the Available Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that does not violate any existing contractual obligation of the Companies and does not harm or disparage the Companies or their Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the condition set forth in Section 9.3(b), as it applies to the obligations of the Acquired Companies under this Section 7.8(c), shall be deemed satisfied unless the Debt Financing has not been obtained primarily as a result of the willful and material breach by the Companies of their obligations under this Section 7.8(c).

Section 7.9 Refinancing Indebtedness. The Acquired Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Buyer at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, copies of payoff letters (the “Refinancing Indebtedness Letters”), in form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, providing for the satisfaction and discharge of all amounts due arising out of, and the termination of all obligations with respect to, the Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies, and the release of all guarantees, Encumbrances and other security over the Equity Interests, properties and assets of the Acquired Companies securing all such obligations.

Section 7.10 Production. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Companies shall, and shall cause the other Acquired Companies to, use commercially reasonable efforts to, except in the ordinary course of business, produce such Products, and to order materials to produce such Products, that are consistent in all material respects with the forecasts and schedules provided in Schedule 5.22(d) (or any subsequent forecast and related schedule made in accordance with the terms of any applicable Contract). The Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to, and shall cause the other Acquired Companies to use commercially reasonable efforts not to, adjust such production or raw material purchases, except as required by the terms of such Contracts or in the ordinary course of business.

Transaction Tax Deductions shall be claimed in a taxable year or period (or portion of any Straddle Period) ending on or prior to the Closing Date to the extent consistent with the Tax Standard. To the extent Transaction Tax Deductions are not fully utilized in such period, the applicable Company shall elect to carry back any items of loss, deduction or credit from any Transaction Tax Deduction to prior taxable years to the extent consistent with the Tax Standard.

(vi) To the extent any Transaction Tax Deduction results in a reduction of the federal or state income, or similar Taxes of the Acquired Companies, Buyer, any Affiliate of or successor to any of the foregoing, or any member of a consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group of which any of the foregoing is a member (collectively, the “Buyer Tax Group”) for any taxable year including the Closing Date and the subsequent three (3) taxable years (each such reduction, a “Tax Reduction”), then Buyer shall pay to Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their Aggregate Percentage Interests, an amount equal to such Tax Reduction promptly after filing the Tax Return applicable to such taxable year; provided, however, that Buyer’s liability to pay Sellers in respect of Tax Reductions under this Section 8.1(a)(vi)(A) shall not exceed $5 million in the aggregate. For purposes of this Section 8.1(a)(vi)(A), the amount of any Tax Reduction shall be determined only after taking into account all other applicable items of income, gain, deduction or loss (or any other Tax attributes (other than Transaction Tax Deductions)) of the Buyer Tax Group. Buyer shall claim, and shall cause the other members of the Buyer Tax Group to claim, a deduction or similar Tax item with respect to a Transaction Tax Deduction in good faith in accordance with the internal policies of, and consistent with the tax accounting methods established with the relevant Tax authorities by, the Buyer Tax Group for claiming deductions with respect to comparable items of the Buyer Tax Group (or if no comparable items exist, if such position is “more likely than not” to be accepted) (the foregoing, the “Tax Standard”). Payment of any Tax Reduction shall be made promptly after filing the Tax Return (after taking into account extensions) for the taxable year or period in which the Tax Reduction in question occurs or is claimed, without interest of any kind. Upon reasonable request of Stockholder Representative, Buyer shall inform Stockholder Representative of the amount of Transaction Tax Deductions used in the most recently filed Tax Return, and the basis for its determination of that amount. Nothing in this Section 8.1(a)(vi) shall require the Buyer to disclose any Tax information it reasonably considers to be confidential.

(b) Tax Returns.

(i) Buyer shall timely file, or cause to be timely filed, when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Acquired Companies after the Closing Date, and Buyer shall remit, or cause to be remitted, any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. With respect to Tax Returns to be filed by Buyer pursuant to the preceding sentence that relate to taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date and any Straddle Period (x) such Tax Returns shall be filed in a manner reasonably consistent with past practice and Section 8.1(a)(v) and no position shall be taken, election made or method adopted that is inconsistent with positions taken, elections made or methods used in prior periods in filing such Tax Returns (including any such position, election or method which would have the effect of accelerating income to periods for which Sellers are liable or deferring deductions to periods for which Buyer is liable) to the extent permitted by applicable law and (y) such Tax Returns with respect to any Taxable year or period ending on or prior to or including the Closing Date shall be submitted to the Stockholder Representative not later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns (or, if such due date is within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date) for review and approval by the Stockholder Representative, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, but may in all cases be withheld if such Tax Returns were not prepared in accordance with clause (x) of this sentence. Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, shall pay the other party for the Taxes for which Sellers or Buyer, respectively, are or is liable pursuant to Section 8.1(a) but which are payable with any Tax Return to be filed by the other party pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) upon the written request of the party entitled to payment, setting forth in detail the computation of the amount owed by Sellers or Buyer, as the case may be, but in no event earlier than ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date for paying such Taxes.

(ii) None of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer shall (or shall cause or permit the Acquired Companies to) make or change any Tax election, file in any jurisdiction not previously filed in, amend, re-file or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any statute of limitation with respect to) any Tax Return or other filing in respect of Taxes relating in whole or in part to the Acquired Companies with respect to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date (or with respect to any Straddle Period) without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, unless any such action shall not have any adverse Tax consequence to the Sellers or unless Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers from any increased Tax liability resulting therefrom.

(i) Buyer shall promptly notify the Stockholder Representative in writing upon receipt by Buyer, any of its Affiliates or any of the Acquired Companies of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits, examinations or assessments which might affect the Tax liabilities for which Sellers may be liable pursuant to this Section 8.1; provided, however, that the failure to give notice as provided in this Section 8.1(c)(i) shall not affect Buyer’s right to indemnification under this Agreement except to the extent Sellers shall have been prejudiced by such failure.

(ii) The Stockholder Representative shall have the sole right to represent the Acquired Companies’ interests in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date or otherwise relating to Taxes for which Sellers may be liable pursuant to this Section 8.1, and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense. In the case of a Straddle Period, the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to participate at its expense in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating (in whole or in part) to Taxes attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date. None of Buyer, any of its Affiliates or any of the Acquired Companies may settle any Tax claim for any Taxes for which Sellers may be liable pursuant to Section 8.1(a), without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative.

(d) Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of Sellers) and Buyer shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to):

(i) assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with Section 8.1(b);

(ii) cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies;

(iii) make available to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of the Acquired Companies;

(iv) provide timely notice to the other in writing of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments of the Acquired Companies for taxable periods for which the other may have a liability under this Section 8.1;

(v) furnish the other with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any such taxable period;

(vi) timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns or other reports with respect to, Taxes described in Section 8.1(a)(iv) (relating to sales, transfer and similar Taxes); and

(vii) timely provide to the other powers of attorney or similar authorizations necessary to carry out the purposes of this Section 8.1.

Section 8.2

Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification.

(a) Buyer shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, take any necessary actions to provide that all rights to indemnification and all limitations on liability existing in favor of any current or former officers, directors, partners, members, managers or employees of any of the Acquired Companies (or their respective predecessors), as provided in (i) the Organizational Documents of any of the Acquired Companies in effect on the date hereof or (ii) any Contract providing for indemnification by any of the Acquired Companies of any such Person in effect on the date hereof to which a Seller or any of the Acquired Companies is a party, shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect and be honored by the Acquired Companies after the Closing.

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall, or shall cause the Companies to, in each case, at Sellers’ sole expense, arrange for and/or maintain an irrevocable “directors and officers” tail insurance policy that provides coverage for six (6) years following the Closing Date on terms identical to existing coverage maintained by the Acquired Companies. Buyer and its Affiliates shall maintain and not amend or cancel such insurance policy during such six (6) year period.

Section 8.3 Maintenance of Existence. For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, a Seller who is identified on Schedule 8.3 and is not a natural person (i) shall do all things necessary to maintain its due organization, valid existence and good standing in all of the jurisdictions in which it transacts business, (ii) shall not adopt a plan of complete or partial liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation, restructuring, recapitalization or other reorganization and (iii) shall not render itself insolvent, and GP shall cause each such Seller to take or not take any of the foregoing actions to maintain compliance with this Section 8.3; provided that in the event any action described in clause (ii) is to be taken, prior to the effectuation of such actions such Seller shall be permitted to take such action if it substitutes an entity reasonably acceptable to Buyer to assume its obligations hereunder and such substitute entity executes a written agreement reasonably acceptable to Buyer with respect to the assumption of such obligations. GP is a limited liability company that has been duly formed and is validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. GP has the requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by GP and represents (assuming the valid authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by each other party hereto) the legal, valid and binding obligation of GP, enforceable against GP in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and subject to general equity principles.

Section 8.4 No Further Rights, etc. Each of the Optionholders and Warrantholders acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the full payment by Buyer of the amounts required by Section 3.2(a) (and in the case of the Tower Warrantholders, the Tower Dividend Payment), (a) their Options and/or Warrants, as applicable, shall be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.5 and Section 2.6, respectively and (b) upon and immediately after the Closing, no such Options or Warrants will be outstanding. Each of the Sellers acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the full payment by Buyer of the amounts required by Section 3.2(a) (and in the case of the Tower Warrantholders, the Tower Dividend Payment), except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any Seller Ancillary Agreement, such Seller shall have no further claims or causes of actions, in contract, tort or otherwise, or rights, including any rights to any dividends, distributions or similar matters, with respect to its Shares, Options and/or Warrants, as applicable, under this Agreement or under any Contract (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under any Organizational Documents of any of the Acquired Companies) against the Buyer or any of the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates (regardless of whether or not the Stockholder Representative complies with its obligations hereunder or under any other Contract) and hereby irrevocably waives any and all such claims and causes of actions and any rights, including any breach or defaults in respect of such Shares, Options and/or Warrants by either Tower or Lineage.

Section 8.5 401(k) Plans. If requested in writing by Buyer at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Companies shall use reasonable best efforts to take (or cause to be taken) all actions reasonably determined by Buyer to be necessary or appropriate to terminate, effective immediately prior to the Closing, any Plans that contain a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code.

Section 8.6 Financial Statements. The Companies shall, and shall cause the other Acquired Companies to, at Buyer’s sole expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer or its Affiliates to provide Buyer with financial statements and financial information for the Acquired Companies (including audited financial statements accompanied by the unqualified report of the Acquired Companies’ independent accountants, interim financial statements, and financial information necessary for the preparation of pro forma financial statements), prepared in accordance with GAAP and prepared in all material respects in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, necessary for Buyer to prepare and file reports required to be filed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Section 8.7 Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Warrant, each of the Warrantholders hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the number of shares subject to such Warrantholder’s Warrants set forth opposite such Warrantholder’s name on Schedule 4.2(a) are all of the Shares subject to such Warrantholder’s Warrants, and such Warrantholder is not entitled to the issuance of any additional Shares in respect of such Warrantholder’s Warrants;

(b) each Tower Warrantholder is entitled to receive the amount of dividends set forth opposite such Tower Warrantholder’s name on Schedule 8.7 in respect of dividends payable by Tower prior to the date hereof (such amount with respect to such Tower Warrantholder, a “Tower Dividend Payment”), and that the amount of such Tower Dividend Payment shall be payable to such Warrantholder at the Closing by Buyer on behalf of Tower; and

(c) upon receipt of the Tower Dividend Payment, such Tower Warrantholder hereby waives (i) any right to receive any additional dividend payments in respect of any Tower Warrant or Tower Shares to the extent of any such dividends declared or payable prior to the date hereof and (ii) any breach or default in respect of such Warrants prior to the date hereof by either Tower or Lineage, as the case may be.

(b) (i) The indemnification provided for in Section 11.2(a)(i) shall terminate on the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that the indemnification provided for in Section 11.2(a)(i) as it relates to those representations and warranties contained in Section 6.1 (Organization of Buyer), Section 6.2 (Authority of Buyer) and Section 6.9 (No Brokers) shall terminate upon the later of (1) the date five years after the Closing Date and (2) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period applicable to the matters covered thereby and (ii) the indemnification provided for in Section 11.2(a)(ii) shall terminate upon the later of (1) the date five years after the Closing Date and (2) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period applicable to the matters covered thereby, and no claims shall be made by any Seller Group Member under Section 11.2(a) thereafter, except that the indemnification by Buyer shall continue as to any Losses or Expenses with respect to which any Seller Group Member has validly given a Claim Notice to the Buyer in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.3 on or prior to the date such indemnification would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 11.2(b), as to which the obligation of Buyer shall continue solely with respect to the specific matters in such Claim Notice until the liability of Buyer shall have been determined pursuant to this Article XI, and Buyer shall have reimbursed all Seller Group Members for the full amount of such Losses and Expenses that are payable with respect to such Claim Notice, in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XI.

Section 11.3

Direct Claims.

(a) Other than with respect to a Third Person Claim, any party hereto seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall deliver to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnitor”) a notice (a “Claim Notice”), which shall be delivered promptly after the Indemnified Party acquires actual knowledge of the basis for a claim for indemnification hereunder and which shall describe in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such claim, and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount, or the method of computation of the amount, of such claim and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, however, that the failure or delay of the Indemnified Party to provide a Claim Notice promptly to the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been materially and actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b) After the timely delivery of any Claim Notice pursuant to Section 11.3(a), the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article XI shall be determined (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor, (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Losses and Expenses suffered by it.

Section 11.4

Third Person Claims.

(a) Any party seeking indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any third Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Person Claim”) shall notify the Indemnitor in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Person Claim within fifteen (15) Business Days (or reasonably more promptly dependent upon the circumstances) after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of such Third Person Claim. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnitor, within ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitor relating to such Third Person Claim (a “Third Person Claim Notice”). Any notice of a claim by reason of any of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement shall refer to the provision of this Agreement upon which such claim is based and describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known) the facts giving rise to an alleged basis for the claim and the amount of the liability asserted against the Indemnitor by reason of such Third Person Claim; provided, however, that the failure or delay of the Indemnified Party to give notice to the Indemnitor as provided in this Section 11.4 shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been materially and actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnitor shall have fifteen (15) Business Days (or such lesser number of days as set forth in the Third Person Claim Notice as may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Third Person Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Person Claim.

(b) In the event that the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Person Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the sole and absolute right after the receipt of notice, at its option and at its own expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice and to control, defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Person Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may participate in any such Proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense; provided further, however, that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume or continue control of the defense of any Third Person Claim if (i) the Third Person Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or regulatory Proceeding, (ii) based on the advice of outside legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict (including the availability of different or additional defenses) exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor in connection with such Third Person Claim or conduct of claim by the Indemnitor would compromise any legal privilege or similar doctrine with respect to the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (iii) the Third Person Claim primarily seeks (x) an injunction against the Indemnified Party or (y) where the Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnified Party, equitable relief requiring the taking of action or the refraining from taking actions by the Buyer. The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully and in good faith with the Indemnitor in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any Third Person Claim. To the extent the Indemnitor elects not to defend such Third Person Claim by written notice to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel at the expense of the Indemnitor, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor, and control the defense of such Proceeding; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 11.4 to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in addition to any local counsel who may need to be retained. The Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Person Claim on a basis that would not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and would (i) exceed the balance of the Indemnitor’s indemnity obligations hereunder if the Indemnified Party is a Seller Group Member, or exceed the Indemnity Escrow, if the Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnified Party, (ii) result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) result in a finding or admission of a violation of Requirements of Laws or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (iv) impose ongoing obligations on the Indemnified Party following the date of such settlement or compromise.

(c) If the Indemnitor (i) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Person Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise or (ii) after assuming the defense of a Third Person Claim, fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Person Claim within ten (10) days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnitor has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third Person Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Person Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a Third Person Claim seeking money damages without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Subject to Section 11.4(e), the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall reasonably cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third Person Claim, including by providing access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents and employees; it being understood that the reasonable costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party relating thereto shall constitute Losses.

(e) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall use reasonable best efforts to avoid production or other disclosure of confidential information (consistent with applicable Requirements of Laws), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Person Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

(f) To the extent of any inconsistency between this Section 11.4 and Section 8.1(c) (relating to Tax contests), the provisions of Section 8.1(c) shall control with respect to Tax contests.

Section 11.5

Determination of Indemnification Amounts.

(a) Without limiting the effect of any other limitation contained in this Article XI, Losses and Expenses recoverable under this Article XI shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements actually received (net of costs of enforcement, deductibles and retro-premium adjustments) by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with such Losses or Expenses or any of the circumstances giving rise thereto. The calculation of Losses and Expenses shall not include losses arising because of a change after the Closing in applicable Requirements of Law or accounting principle.

(b) Any indemnification payment under this Agreement shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(c) In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from third Persons any amount in respect of a matter with respect to which an Indemnitor has indemnified it pursuant to this Article XI, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnitor the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the reasonable expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid by the Indemnitor to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnitor in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter; provided that no Indemnified Party shall be required to seek or collect such recoveries prior to being entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Each of the parties agrees to take all reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses and Expenses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses and Expenses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

(e) Sellers shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.1 to the extent the matter in question was actually taken into account in the computation of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4.

(f) In connection with the matters covered by this Article XI, no holder of any Equity Interest of the Sellers or the Acquired Companies shall have (i) any right to indemnity or contribution from the Acquired Companies or (ii) any right of subrogation against the Acquired Companies with respect to any indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Party by reason of any indemnification provided in Section 11.1, it being agreed and acknowledged that the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Acquired Companies herein are solely for the benefit of the Buyer and Buyer Indemnified Parties.

(g) The representation, warranties and covenants of the Indemnitor, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Article IX.

Section 11.6 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, except in the case of fraud and except for the equitable remedies expressly contemplated in Section 13.14, its sole and exclusive remedy against the other party and its respective Affiliates, including for the Losses and Expenses of any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Group Member, as applicable, relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of whether such claims arise in contract, tort, breach of warranty or any other legal or equitable theory, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XI. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled. In furtherance of the foregoing, without waiving the express provisions of this Agreement, including the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XI, (a) Buyer hereby waives, from and after the Closing Date, any and all rights, claims and causes of action any Buyer Indemnified Party may have against any Seller or its respective Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives, successors or assigns and (b) the Sellers hereby waive, from and after the Closing Date, any and all rights, claims and causes of action any Seller Group Member may have against Buyer or its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives, successors or assigns.

Section 11.7 Applicable Survival Period. It is the express intent of the parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Article XI is shorter or longer than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced or extended to the shortened or lengthened survival period contemplated hereby. The parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Article XI for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms-length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the parties.

Article XII

STOCKHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE

Section 12.1 Appointment of Stockholder Representative.

(a) Each Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints RT Partners as the representative of Sellers (the “Stockholder Representative”) to act as such Seller’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent and authorizes the Stockholder Representative acting for such Seller and in such Seller’s name, place and stead, in any and all capacities to do and perform every act and thing required or permitted to be done in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as fully to all intents and purposes as such Seller might or could do in person, including as follows:

(i) to take any and all action on behalf of Sellers from time to time as the Stockholder Representative may deem necessary or desirable to fulfill the interests and purposes of this Section 12.1 and to engage agents and representatives (including accountants and legal counsel) to assist in connection therewith;

(ii) to take any and all action on behalf of Sellers from time to time as the Stockholder Representative may deem necessary or desirable to make or enter into any consent, waiver, amendment, agreement, certificate or other document contemplated hereunder, except to the extent any such consent, waiver, amendment or agreement would (A) except in the case of any claims made in respect of fraud by such Seller, cause any Seller’s maximum aggregate liability pursuant to this Agreement to exceed the aggregate net Purchase Price actually received by such Seller or (B) disproportionately adversely affect the rights or obligations of any class of Sellers without similarly affecting the rights of all Sellers;

(iii) to terminate this Agreement on behalf of Sellers;

(iv) to deliver on behalf of Sellers all notices required to be delivered by Sellers;

(v) to receive on behalf of Sellers all notices required to be delivered to Sellers;

(vi) to seek on behalf of Sellers indemnification from Buyer under Article XI, including the right to prosecute, defend, settle, compromise or take any other action with respect to any claim related thereto; and

(vii) to execute the Escrow Agreement and any other Seller Ancillary Agreement on behalf of Sellers and make all decisions required or allowed to be made by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to the provisions thereof (including the right to defend, settle, compromise or take any other action on behalf of Sellers with respect to any matter for which any Buyer Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under Article XI, except in the case of any claim for indemnification under Section 11.1(a) the Stockholder Representative shall not settle or compromise any such claim without the prior written consent of the applicable Seller).

(b) Each Seller grants unto said attorney-in-fact and agent full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the matters described above, as to fully effect all intents and purposes as such Seller might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Stockholder Representative may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Each Seller further acknowledges and agrees that, upon execution of this Agreement, with respect to any delivery by the Stockholder Representative of any waiver, amendment, agreement, certificate or other documents executed by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement, such Seller shall be bound by such documents as fully as if such Seller had executed and delivered such documents itself. After the Closing, the Stockholder Representative shall have no authority or power to act on behalf of any party to this Agreement, other than the Sellers.

Section 12.2 Actions by Sellers. Each Seller agrees that, notwithstanding Section 12.1, at the request of the Stockholder Representative, such Seller shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including delivery of such Seller’s Shares and acceptance of the Purchase Price therefor) individually on such Seller’s own behalf, and delivery of any other documents required of Sellers pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 12.3 Liability of Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Seller. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any action taken or omitted by it hereunder or under any other document contemplated hereby, or in connection therewith, except that the Stockholder Representative shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by Requirements of Law for gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Seller to which payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from the other Sellers any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. The Stockholder Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Stockholder Representative shall not be obligated to take any actions and shall be entitled to take such actions as the Stockholder Representative deems appropriate in its sole discretion. Each Seller further agrees to indemnify and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless from and against any loss, liability or expense arising in connection with any act or omission as the Stockholder Representative, except for any liability imposed by Requirements of Law for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 12.4 Reliance by Buyer. Each Seller agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to unconditionally assume that any action taken or omitted, or any document executed by, RT Partners purporting to act as the Stockholder Representative under or pursuant to this Agreement or any Seller Ancillary Agreement or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Seller Ancillary Agreement has been unconditionally authorized by Sellers to be taken, omitted to be taken, or executed on their behalf so that they will be legally bound thereby, and each Seller agrees not to institute any claim, lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding against Buyer alleging that RT Partners did not have the authority to act as the Stockholder Representative on behalf of Sellers in connection with any such action, omission or execution. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Article XII shall in no way impose any obligations on Buyer or any of its Affiliates. In particular, notwithstanding any notice received by Buyer or its Affiliates to the contrary, Buyer and its Affiliates shall be fully protected in relying upon and shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall have no Liability to any Seller with respect to actions, decisions or determinations of the Stockholder Representative. Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to assume that all actions, decisions and determinations of the Stockholder Representative are fully authorized. No modification or revocation of the power of attorney granted by Sellers herein to RT Partners to serve as the Stockholder Representative shall be effective as against Buyer until Buyer has received a document signed by each Seller effecting said modification or revocation.

Section 12.5 Expense Reserve. Each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that $2,000,000 (the “Expense Reserve”) shall be withheld and paid directly to an account maintained by the Stockholder Representative (or a financial institution selected by the Stockholder Representative) as a fund for the fees and expenses (including any legal fees and expenses) of, and other amounts payable by, the Stockholder Representative in connection with this Agreement. Any balance of the Expense Reserve not utilized for such purposes shall be paid, when deemed appropriate by the Stockholder Representative in its sole discretion, to Sellers in accordance with their Aggregate Percentage Interests by the Stockholder Representative. In the event that the Expense Reserve shall be insufficient to satisfy the fees and expenses of, and other amounts payable by, the Stockholder Representative, and in the event there are any remaining funds in the Indemnity Escrow finally determined to be distributed to Sellers immediately prior to the final distribution from the Indemnity Escrow to Sellers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to recover any such expenses from the Indemnity Escrow to the extent of such funds prior to such distribution of funds to Sellers. The Stockholder Representative shall also be entitled to recover any remaining expenses or other amounts directly from Sellers, and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Stockholder Representative shall not have any obligation to personally advance funds in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement.

Article XIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 13.1 Confidential Nature of Information. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms following the date hereof and following the Closing. From the Closing Date until the sixth (6^th) anniversary thereof, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its other Affiliates and each of their representatives to, treat as confidential and shall safeguard any and all information, know-how, knowledge and data (other than historical financial reporting information and information owned or controlled by Seller after the Closing) relating to the Acquired Companies (the “Acquired Confidential Information”), in each case in their respective possession by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable standard of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination or disclosure of such information, know-how, knowledge and data as Seller and its Affiliates used with respect thereto prior to the date hereof. From the Closing Date until the sixth (6^th) anniversary thereof, Buyer and the Acquired Companies shall, and shall cause each of their representatives to, treat as confidential and shall safeguard any and all information, know-how, knowledge and data (other than historical financial reporting information) relating to Seller’s business (other than business of the Acquired Companies) (the “Retained Confidential Information”) in their respective possession by using the same degree of care, but not less than a reasonable standard of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination or disclosure of such information, know-how, knowledge and data as Buyer uses with respect to the Acquired Confidential Information. Prior to the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the parties agree that each of them and their respective Subsidiaries and representatives may only disclose, in the case of Seller and its Affiliates, Acquired Confidential Information or, in the case of Buyer and its Affiliates, Retained Confidential Information, as the case may be, (i) to the extent counsel to such Person advises that disclosure is required to comply with Requirements of Law (provided that such party shall provide prior written notice to Seller or Buyer, as applicable, of such disclosure, unless prohibited by Requirements of Law, as promptly as practical and shall seek to limit any such disclosure and to protect from public disclosure by way of a protective order or otherwise, in each case, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law), and (ii) to its representatives who reasonably need to know such information for purposes of this Agreement or any agreement ancillary hereto (provided that each party shall instruct any such representative to keep such information confidential in accordance with this Agreement). In no event shall Seller use, or permit any other Person to use, the Acquired Confidential Information for any purpose other than as expressly contemplated under this Agreement or any agreement ancillary hereto. In no event shall Buyer use, or permit any other Person to use, the Retained Confidential Information for any purpose other than as expressly contemplated under this Agreement or any agreement ancillary hereto. The parties acknowledge that the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 13.1 shall not extend to information, knowledge and data that (x) is or becomes publicly available through no act or omission of a party owing a confidentiality obligation imposed by this Section 13.1 in respect of such information, knowledge and data (a “Receiving Party”), (y) is or becomes available to a Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the party to which such information, knowledge and data relates; provided, that the source of such information, knowledge and data was not known to the Receiving Party to be bound by confidentiality obligations to the party to which such information, knowledge and data relates, or (z) the Receiving Party can establish that it independently developed such information, knowledge and data without reference to information, knowledge and data provided to such Receiving Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and, in the case of Seller, its Affiliates and each of their representatives, without reference to any Acquired Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations set forth in this Section 13.1 with respect to Acquired Confidential Information that constitute Trade Secrets included in the Company Intellectual Property shall survive in perpetuity, subject to the exceptions set forth in clauses (x), (y) and (z) in the prior sentence.

Section 13.2 No Public Announcement. Upon the execution of this Agreement, each of the Buyer, RT Partners, RT Investors and the Companies shall mutually agree on an initial joint press release (the “Initial Press Release”) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and which references the identity of the Buyer, RT Partners, RT Investors and the Companies. Neither Buyer, on the one hand, nor Sellers and the Companies, on the other hand, shall, without the prior written consent of the other party hereto (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make or cause to be made any press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that any such party shall be so obligated by applicable Requirements of Law, in which case the other party shall be advised and the parties shall use their reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued.

Section 13.3 Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or made when delivered personally, sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), sent by facsimile (with immediate confirmation) or sent by an internationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed as follows:

Section 13.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no party to this Agreement may transfer this Agreement or assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement, except that the Buyer may assign any or all its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries so long as such wholly owned Subsidiary agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms, conditions and provisions contained herein; provided that no such assignment shall release the Buyer from any liability or obligation under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer or any Subsidiary of Buyer may assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder to any of the financing sources of Buyer (including the lenders pursuant to the terms of the Debt Financing Documents to the extent necessary for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assigning as collateral in respect of the Debt Financing or any Alternative Debt Financing). In addition, the Debt Financing Sources are intended third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, this Section 13.4, Section 13.6 and Section 13.16(b).

Section 13.5 Access to Records after Closing. Subject to Section 13.1, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, the Stockholder Representative and its representatives shall have reasonable access to all of the books and records of the Acquired Companies relating to any period prior to the Closing and reasonably related to the Relevant Matters to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by the Stockholder Representative (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Seller) only in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or other documents related to Tax matters (the “Relevant Matters”), subject to any applicable Requirements of Laws; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to violate any obligation of confidentiality to which Buyer or any Acquired Company is subject or to waive any privilege (including the attorney-client privilege) which any of them may possess in discharging its obligations pursuant to this Section 13.5; provided, further, that such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates; and provided, further, that the auditors and independent accountants of the Buyer or its Affiliates shall not be obligated to make any work papers available to any Person unless and until such Person has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such auditors or independent accountants. If so reasonably requested by the Buyer, the Stockholder Representative and its representatives, as applicable, shall enter into a customary joint defense agreement with any one or more of the Buyer and its Affiliates with respect to any information to be provided to the Stockholder Representative and its representatives pursuant to this Section 13.5. The Stockholder Representative shall be solely responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 13.5. If Buyer or the Acquired Companies shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such six (6) year period, Buyer shall, prior to such disposition, give the Stockholder Representative a reasonable opportunity, at the Stockholder Representative’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records relating to any period prior to the Closing and reasonably related to such matters set forth above.

Section 13.6 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein, the documents delivered pursuant hereto and the Confidentiality Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter contained herein or therein, and supersede all other prior representations, warranties, agreements, understandings or letters of intent between or among any of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by Buyer and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of Sellers). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 13.6, none of Section 13.4 or Section 13.16(b) or this sentence may be modified or amended in a manner that is adverse in any respect to any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Source (and any such consent of a Debt Financing Source, to the extent given, shall be effective with respect to such Debt Financing Source and with respect to each of its Affiliates and Persons constituting a Debt Financing Source due to its relationship with such Debt Financing Source). The Debt Financing Sources are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 13.6.

Section 13.7 Interpretation. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule hereto referenced by a particular section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other section in this Agreement so long as the applicability of such matter to such section is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 13.8 Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall constitute a continuing waiver or shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

Section 13.9 Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, each party hereto will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and independent public accountants.

Section 13.10 Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

Section 13.11 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including via fax or .pdf), each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to Sellers, the Companies and Buyer.

Section 13.12 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all action, to do or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations or otherwise to consummate and make effective, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the End Date, including the execution and delivery of such instruments, and the taking of such other actions as the other party hereto may reasonably require in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

Section 13.13 Disclaimer of Warranties. Neither Sellers nor the Companies make any representations or warranties with respect to any projections, forecasts or forward-looking information provided to Buyer. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, EACH SELLER IS SELLING THE SHARES (AND THE BUSINESS AND ASSETS OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES REPRESENTED THEREBY) ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS AND EACH SELLER AND EACH COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND GUARANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND NO SELLER OR COMPANY MAKES ANY (A) REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR (B) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. Buyer acknowledges that no Seller nor any of their respective representatives or Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) or any other Person has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any memoranda, charts or summaries heretofore made available by Sellers or any of their respective representatives or Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) to Buyer or any other information which is not included in this Agreement or the Schedules, and no Seller nor any of its respective representatives or Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) or any other Person will have or be subject to any liability to Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any other Person resulting from the distribution of any such information to, or use of any such information by, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer or any of its agents, consultants, accountants, counsel or other representatives. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is not entitled to rely upon any representations or warranties or other statements of fact or opinion, other than the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Section 13.14

Enforcement.

(a) Each of the parties hereto agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement to be performed by Buyer, Sellers or the Companies were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, prior to any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, Buyer, each Seller and each Company, as applicable, shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other parties hereto, as applicable, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any state or federal court in the State of New York, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. Buyer, each Seller and each Company hereby further waive (i) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (ii) any Requirements of Law to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

(b) Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. Each of the parties hereto further agrees that the seeking of the remedies pursuant to Section 13.14(a) shall not constitute a waiver by any party seeking such remedies of its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 13.15 Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other documents delivered pursuant hereto, (i) this Agreement may be enforced only against, and any Proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to a breach of this Agreement by Sellers may be made only against, Sellers (or, with respect to Section 8.3, GP), (ii) none of any Seller’s Affiliates (except, with respect to Section 8.3, GP) or such Seller’s (in the case of any such Seller which is not a natural person) or its Affiliates’ respective current, former or future directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, managers, members, stockholders, assignees or representatives (collectively, the “Seller Related Parties”) shall have any liability for any liabilities of the parties hereto for any such Proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, and (iii) Buyer shall have no rights of recovery in respect of this Agreement against any Seller Related Party, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through any Proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) by or on behalf of a Seller against any Seller Related Party, by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Requirements of Law, or otherwise.

Section 13.16

Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in all respects, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, in accordance with the internal Requirements of Law (without regard to principles of conflicts of law) of the State of New York. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer, Sellers and the Companies irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the State of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto: (i) agrees that it will not bring or support any Person in any action of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any of the Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, in any forum other than the federal and New York state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan within the City of New York, (ii) agrees that, except as specifically set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, all claims or causes of action (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against any of the Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, shall be exclusively governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles or rules or conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of laws of another jurisdiction and (iii) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation (whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise) directly or indirectly arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby. The Debt Financing Sources are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 13.16(b).

Section 13.17

Certain Matters Regarding Representation of the Companies and Certain Sellers.

(a) Sidley Austin LLP (“Sidley”) has acted as counsel for the Companies, RT Partners and RT Investors (the “Clients”) in connection with this Agreement, the Buyer Ancillary Agreements and the Seller Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (the “Transaction Engagement”) and in that connection not as counsel for any other Person, including Buyer or its Affiliates. Only the Clients shall be considered clients of Sidley in the Transaction Engagement. The parties hereto acknowledge the community of interest between the Clients and certain Sellers which are not Clients in light of the fact that Sellers hold all of the equity of the Companies. Accordingly, notwithstanding that the Clients are or were clients in the Transaction Engagement, upon and after the Closing, all communications between Sellers, the Stockholder Representative or the Companies and Sidley in the course of the Transaction Engagement shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences for which the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belong solely to and shall be controlled solely by Sellers and the Stockholder Representative and not the Companies. Buyer shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Sidley relating to the Transaction Engagement, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notwithstanding that the Companies are or were clients in the Transaction Engagement, upon and after the Closing, (i) Sellers and the Stockholder Representative shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege and control thereof with respect to communications between Sellers, the Stockholder Representative or the Companies and Sidley relating to the Transaction Engagement, to the extent such privilege exists, and none of the Companies, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates shall be a holder of such attorney-client privilege or control thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Sidley in respect of the Transaction Engagement constitute property of the Clients, including the Companies, only the Sellers or the Stockholder Representative shall hold such property rights, and (iii) Sidley shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Companies, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Sidley and the Companies or otherwise.

(b) If Sellers or the Stockholder Representative so desire, and without the need for any consent or waiver by the Companies or Buyer, Sidley shall be permitted to represent Sellers or the Stockholder Representative after the Closing in connection with any matter, including anything related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Buyer Ancillary Agreements and the Seller Ancillary Agreements or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto arising after the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, after the Closing, Sidley shall be permitted to represent Sellers or the Stockholder Representative, any of their Affiliates or representatives, or any one or more of them, in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (whereas “dispute” includes litigation, arbitration or other adversarial proceedings) with Buyer, the Companies or any of their Affiliates or representatives under or relating to this Agreement, the Buyer Ancillary Agreements and the Seller Ancillary Agreements, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Buyer Ancillary Agreements or the Seller Ancillary Agreements, and any related matter, such as claims for indemnification and disputes involving non-solicitation or other agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement, the Buyer Ancillary Agreements or the Seller Ancillary Agreements.

(c) Upon and after the Closing, the Companies shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with Sidley, unless Sidley is specifically engaged in writing by any Company to represent such Company after the Closing and either such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to Sellers or the Stockholder Representative or Sellers or the Stockholder Representative, as applicable, consent in writing at the time to such engagement. Any such representation of any Company by Sidley after the Closing shall not affect the provisions of this Section 13.17(c). For example, and not by way of limitation, even if Sidley is representing any Company after the Closing, Sidley shall be permitted simultaneously to represent Sellers or the Stockholder Representative in any matter, including any disagreement or dispute relating thereto.

(d) Sellers (on behalf of themselves and the Companies), the Stockholder Representative and Buyer consent to the foregoing arrangements and waive any actual or potential conflict of interest that may be involved in connection with any representation by Sidley permitted hereunder.

Section 13.18

Waiver of First Refusal Rights.

(a) Each of the Tower Sellers hereby waives any right of first refusal, dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights or similar rights it may have to purchase any Tower Shares from Sellers pursuant to (i) that certain Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2012, among Tower, RT Partners, RT Investors and the other Tower Sellers party thereto, or (ii) that certain Security Holders’ Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2005, among Tower, RT Partners, RT Investors and the other Tower Sellers party thereto, and in each case consents to the sale of the Tower Shares by the Tower Sellers to Buyer.

(b) Each of the Lineage Sellers hereby waives any right of first refusal, dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights or similar rights it may have to purchase any Lineage Shares from Sellers pursuant to (i) that certain Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2013, among Lineage, RT Partners, RT Investors and the other Lineage Sellers party thereto, or (ii) that certain Security Holders’ Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2013, among Lineage, RT Partners, RT Investors and the other Lineage Sellers party thereto, and in each case consents to the sale of the Lineage Shares by the Lineage Sellers to Buyer.

Section 13.19 Liability of Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Companies and each Seller (on behalf of itself and each Seller Related Party) agrees that it shall not have any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. In addition, in no event will any Debt Financing Source be liable to the Companies or the Sellers for consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or indirect damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) or damages of a tortious nature.
