Notwithstanding anything contained

herein to the contrary, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and such other Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges incurred in connection with the completion of the Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by Parent. Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to pay such Transfer Taxes as and when due and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Taxes, fees and charges pursuant to and in accordance with all applicable Laws, and, if required by applicable Law, the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns.

Section 5.05 Certain Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Parent, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, for certain Tax matters (for purposes of this Section, references to the Company shall include the Surviving Company where the context may require):

(a) Straddle Period. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company which related to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the Effective Time (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period which relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. The Sellers and Parent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period of the Company. However, Parent and the Sellers agree that for the federal income tax return (and applicable state income Tax Returns), the taxable year of the Company beginning on January 1, 2019 will close on the day prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii) (and comparable provisions of applicable state and local Tax law). For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and the Sellers agree that any deductions or other Tax benefits resulting from the payment of the Seller Transaction Expenses and the payment of the outstanding amount of the Indebtedness of the Company as of the Closing shall be allocated to the applicable Pre-Closing Tax Period to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Tax law and such allocated amounts shall be solely for the benefit of the Sellers.

(b) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. The Sellers’ Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all income Tax Returns of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods other than a Tax Return that includes the Surviving Company and Parent (or any member of Parent’s affiliated group) (“Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns”). The Sellers’ Representative shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each such Pre-Closing Income Tax Return and such Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns shall be subject to Parent’s approval, not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned, or withheld. Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all other Tax Returns of the Company that are filed after the Closing Date. To the extent such Tax Returns related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Parent shall provide the Sellers’ Representative with a copy of all such Pre-Closing Tax Period Tax Returns at least thirty (30) days before the due date for filing such Tax Returns. Any such Tax Returns shared with Sellers’ Representative may be reformatted, redacted, or otherwise altered in content and presentation to

The Sellers’ Representative and Parent agree to, and agree to cause their respective Affiliates, including the Surviving Company, to, (A) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Parent or the Sellers’ Representative, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the Sellers’ Representative reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if any other party so requests, to the extent the books and records are with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and do not contain information deemed confidential by Parent, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, allow such other party to take possession of such books and records. Parent and Sellers’ Representative further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from each other or any Governmental Authority as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the Transaction).

The Party receiving the notice of any Tax Contest shall provide the other Parties with notice in writing of such Tax Contest within ten (10) days of receiving such notice from the Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the failure to give notice will not affect the rights and obligations of any party hereunder, except to the extent any Party was adversely affected as a result. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Sellers’

Representative’s election and at the Sellers’ expense, Parent shall control the conduct of, and the settlement, compromise, or other resolution of any such Tax Contest with respect to a Tax Period ending on or before the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Parent or the Surviving Company shall be permitted to file any such amended Tax Return if (i) such amended Tax Return is required by applicable Tax law and (ii) the Sellers’ Representative delivers its prior written agreement that such amended Tax Return is required by applicable Tax law. Parent or the Surviving Company may participate in any “voluntary disclosure” process or procedure sponsored by a Taxing Authority if any such activity is necessary to ensure the Company is in compliance with applicable Tax laws or correct historic tax positions of the Company, as long as the Sellers’ Representative delivers its prior written agreement that such action(s) is so necessary. In the event the Sellers’ Representative does not agree that an amended Tax Return is required by Tax law or that participation in a voluntary disclosure process or procedure is necessary, the matter of whether such amended Tax Return is required by Tax law or such activity is more likely than not necessary to ensure the Company is in compliance with applicable Tax laws or correct historic tax positions of the Company shall be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution in a manner and pursuant to procedures substantially identical to those set forth in Section 2.06 for resolving disputes regarding the Final Net Working Capital.

(g) Refunds. The Sellers shall have the sole and exclusive right to (x) any Tax refunds received by the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any portion of a Straddle

Period ending prior to the Closing Date and (y) the amount of any credits against Taxes in lieu of refunds described in clause (x). Parent shall pay any such Tax refund and the amount of any such Tax credit in lieu of a refund to the Sellers’ Representative no later than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Company of any such Tax refund or the reporting by the Company of the amount of any such Tax Credit. The Sellers’ Representative shall waive Parent’s obligation under this clause (g) and instruct Parent not to make such payment (or if already paid, return such funds to Parent consistent with the intent reflected in this sentence) if making such payment, in the Sellers’ Representative’s opinion, could result in a treatment inconsistent with Section 2.13.

Section 5.06 Exclusivity.

Parent hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (i) certain agreements and other matters may be listed in the Disclosure Schedules for informational purposes only, as they do not rise above applicable materiality thresholds, they are not outside of the ordinary course of business or their disclosure is not otherwise required under the terms of this Agreement (items that are not required to be disclosed but are disclosed, the “Informational Disclosures”); (ii) in no event will the Informational Disclosures be deemed or interpreted to broaden or otherwise amplify or influence the construction or interpretation of any of the representations and warranties; (iii) disclosures made for the purpose of any Schedule of the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed made for the purpose of all Schedules so long as cross-references are made or the applicability to the other section(s) is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure; (iv) headings in the Disclosure Schedules have been inserted for reference only and will not be deemed to modify or influence the interpretation of the information contained in the Disclosure Schedules or this Agreement; (v) no reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in the Disclosure Schedules will be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material or outside of the ordinary course of business or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules or otherwise imply that any such item or matter creates a

measure for materiality for the purposes of this Agreement; (vi) no disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violations exists or has actually occurred; (vii) the inclusion of any matter, information or item in the Disclosure Schedules will not be deemed to constitute an admission of any liability by Seller to any third party; and (viii) summaries of or references to any written document in the Disclosure Schedules do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the written documents themselves; provided, that Parent, Merger Sub and their representatives have been provided with reasonable access to such documents at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

For purposes of determining whether the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 have been satisfied, the Schedule Updates shall not be deemed to cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty reflected in the Schedule Updates (x) arising in the ordinary course of business unless such newly scheduled item results from a breach of covenant by a Seller, (y) resulting from any actions taken by Parent or any of its representatives, or (z) resulting from any action taken by any Seller at the request or with the consent of Parent or its representatives; provided, however, if a Schedule Update discloses any fact, event, claim or development that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, cause or result in a Material Adverse Effect, Parent may (A) terminate this Agreement or (B) elect to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by doing so waive any rights to indemnification with respect to such matter identified in the Schedule Updates.

(c) During the period from the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date and the date this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Article VII, each of Parent and the Sellers’ Representative shall promptly notify the other of any Legal Proceeding that shall be instituted or, to the Knowledge of Parent or Knowledge of the Sellers, respectively, threatened against Parent, Merger Sub or Sellers, as applicable, to restrain, prohibit or otherwise challenge the legality of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

Parent agrees that such investigation shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of the Company or the Sellers’ Representative.

Section 5.14 Non-competition and Non-solicitation.

(a) Each Seller agrees that, during the Restricted Period, it shall not and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, engage in any Restricted Business in any capacity, including rendering services to or having a financial interest in any Restricted Business. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and each of the Sellers agree that it would be a violation of this Section 5.14 for a Seller or any of its Affiliates to act as consultant, advisor, independent

contractor, officer, manager, employee, principal, agent, lender or trustee of any Person that is engaged in any Restricted Business during the Restricted Period, provided that nothing in this Section 5.14 shall prohibit a Seller or any of its Affiliates from owning, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, up to one percent (1%) of any class of “publicly traded securities” of any Restricted Business, meaning securities that are traded on a national or foreign securities exchange.

(c) Each Seller acknowledges that (a) any violation of the provisions of this Section 5.14 would cause irreparable harm to parent and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such violation and (b) accordingly, Parent and its Affiliates shall be entitled to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent any actual or threatened breach of any of such provisions and to enforce such provisions specifically, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security or of proving actual damages, by an appropriate court in the appropriate jurisdiction. The remedies provided in this Section 5.14 are cumulative and shall not exclude any other remedies to which Parent may be entitled under this Agreement or applicable Law, and the exercise of a remedy under this Section 5.14 shall not be deemed an election excluding any other remedy or any waiver thereof.

(d) If any Governmental Authority determines that the foregoing restrictions are too broad or otherwise unreasonable under applicable Law, including with respect to time or geographical scope, such Governmental Authority is hereby requested and authorized by the Parties to revise the foregoing restriction to include the maximum restrictions allowable under Law. Each Seller acknowledges, however, that this Section 5.14 has been negotiated by each such Person and that the geographical scope and time limitations, as well as the limitation on activities, are reasonable in light of the circumstances pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.15 Listing Application.

Section 7.03 Termination Fee.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that this Agreement is terminated by:

(i) the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to (A) Section 7.01(c) or (B) Section 7.01(e) if (x) the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02 were satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but which conditions were capable of being satisfied at the Closing, other than by virtue of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s failure to effect the Closing) and the Sellers’ Representative has provided written notice to Parent irrevocably confirming that the Sellers are ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing and that if Parent and Merger Sub perform their obligations hereunder then the Sellers will cause the Closing to occur, and (y) Parent failed to consummate the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the time the Closing was required to have occurred under Section 2.07, then Parent shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination, pay the Sellers’ Representative the Termination Fee in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative. The “Termination Fee” means an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price; or

(ii) by Parent pursuant to (A) Section 7.01(b) or (B) Section 7.01(e) if (x) the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02 were satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but which conditions were capable of being satisfied at the Closing, other than by virtue of the Sellers’ failure to effect the Closing) and Parent has provided written notice to the Sellers’ Representative irrevocably confirming that Parent and Merger Sub are ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing and that if the Sellers performs their obligations hereunder then Parent and Merger Sub will cause the Closing to occur, and (B) the Sellers failed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the time the Closing was required to have occurred under Section 2.07, then the Sellers shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination, pay Parent the Termination Fee in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent.

(b) In no event shall either the Sellers, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, be required to pay a Termination Fee on more than one occasion. The Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that the Termination Fee, if, as and when required pursuant to this Section 7.03, shall not constitute a penalty but will be reasonable liquidated damages that will compensate the Company, the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, in the circumstances in which it is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone by such Party while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

Section 7.04 No Other Recourse. Subject to a Party’s right to specific enforcement pursuant to Section 9.08, a Party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01 and receive payment of the applicable Termination Fee from the other Party pursuant to Section 7.03 (in each case, to the extent applicable) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, the Sellers, the Sellers’ Representative, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, for any and all liabilities, damages, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by the Company, the Sellers, the Sellers’ Representative, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction. Upon payment of the Termination Fee, the Party paying the Termination Fee, and its Affiliates shall have no further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of the Transaction, in each case whether based on contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable Action, by virtue of any applicable Laws or otherwise and whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate or partnership veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of a Party or another Person or otherwise.

The failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnified Party from any obligation under Article VIII except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of the Indemnifying Party.

(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake at its sole expense, by counsel of its own choosing, the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of such Third Party Claim if such claim, suit or demand is (A) criminal in nature, would reasonably be expected to lead to criminal proceedings, (B) seeks an injunction or other equitable or non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party, or (C) the Indemnified Party has been advised by

counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, (A) neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall, without the other’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to entry of any judgment, (B) in the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.05(c)(ii), the Indemnified Party, by counsel or other representative of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to consult with, and be provided reasonable access to all relevant information within the possession of, the Indemnifying Party and its counsel or other representatives concerning such Third Party Claim, and (C) in the event that the Indemnified Party undertakes defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party, by counsel or other representative of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to consult with, and be provided reasonable access to all relevant information within the possession of, the Indemnified Party and its counsel or other representatives concerning such Third Party Claim.

Section 8.06 Determination of Losses; Miscellaneous.

(a) For purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of any representation or warranty for purposes of indemnification under this Article VIII, all representations and warranties shall be treated as if the words “materially,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar words were omitted from such representations and warranties, and for purposes of determining the amount of Losses resulting therefrom, any Material Adverse Effect or materiality qualification limiting the scope of such representation or warranty shall be disregarded.

(b) The Parties shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the other and make available, at the other’s expense, all information (but excluding privileged communications) necessary for the other to pursue any indemnification or reimbursement from a third party for any Losses in the event that the other elects to pursue such indemnification or reimbursement.

Any dispute with respect to this Agreement, any Person’s direct or indirect rights or obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or the construction of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation a breach, default, or misrepresentation or any determination made by a Party hereto pursuant to this Agreement, shall, to the extent made by or against any Party or any of its Affiliates after the unsuccessful negotiation in good faith by the Parties hereto, be finally and conclusively resolved exclusively in the State or Federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York . In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties hereto (i) submits to the jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising from, or relating to, any Transaction Document, and (ii) waives any objection that it may have to the venue of any suit, action or proceeding with respect to any proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document that is commenced in the courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York.

Section 9.08 Specific Performance. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the breach by any of them of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the other Parties hereto and that they will not have an adequate remedy at Law. Therefore, the Parties under this Agreement shall be permitted to seek a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies at Law which any Party may have under this Agreement.

Section 9.09 Appointment of the Sellers’ Representative.

(a) The Sellers hereby appoint and designate the Sellers’ Representative as their representative to act on behalf of the Sellers for certain purposes, as specified in this Section 9.09. The Sellers hereby grant to the Sellers’ Representative such powers and authority as are necessary to carry out the following functions as the Sellers’ Representative of the Sellers: (i) to give and receive notices on behalf of the Sellers, (ii) to administer and resolve any claims arising under Section 2.06 and Article VIII hereof, and (iii) to take such other actions on behalf of the Sellers as are contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.09 shall be deemed to expand or alter the joint and several nature of the indemnification obligations of the Sellers pursuant to Article VIII hereof. Parent and any Parent Indemnified Party (A) shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Sellers’ Representative hereunder and (B) shall have no liability to any Seller for any actions taken pursuant to instructions within the authority of the Sellers’ Representative. The appointment of a Person as the Sellers’ Representative of the Sellers will be deemed coupled with an interest and will be irrevocable, and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any actions of the Sellers’ Representative as the actions of the Sellers hereunder in all matters referred to in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which such Sellers are a party. All that the Sellers’ Representative will do or cause to be done by virtue of its appointment as the Sellers’ Representative of the Sellers pursuant to this Section 9.09 is hereby ratified and confirmed by each of the Sellers.

(b) In performing the functions specified in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to any Seller in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or Fraud on the part of the Sellers’ Representative. Each Seller shall severally (based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Allocation), and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representative from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or Fraud on the part of the Sellers’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his, her or its duties hereunder, including any out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs reasonably incurred by the Sellers’ Representative (the “Sellers’ Representative Expenses”). Neither Parent, Merger Sub nor the Company shall have any liability for the Sellers’ Representative Expenses.

Section 9.10 Waiver; Privilege.

(a) Acknowledgment of Prior Representation. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxx Bond Xxxxxxxxx (US) LLP (“WBD”) has acted as counsel to the Sellers in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and in that connection not as counsel for any other Person.

(b) Consent to Future Representation. Parent and Merger Sub hereby consent and agree to, and agree to cause the Surviving Company following the Closing to consent and agree to, WBD representing the Sellers’ Representative and/or any of the Sellers (collectively, the “Represented Parties”) after the Closing, including with respect to disputes in which the interests of the Represented Parties may be directly adverse to Parent and its Affiliates (including the Company), and even though WBD may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to any such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for the Company. Parent and Merger Sub further consent and agree to, and agree to cause the Surviving Company and their respective Affiliates following the Closing to further consent and agree to, the communication by WBD to the Represented Parties in connection with any such representation of any fact that became known to WBD in connection with its representation of the Company.

(c) Waiver of Conflicts. In connection with the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub hereby irrevocably waive and agree not to assert, and agree to cause the Surviving Company and their respective Affiliates following the Closing to irrevocably waive and agree not to assert, any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with (i) WBD’s prior representation of the Company and (ii) WBD’s representation of, as applicable, a Represented Party prior to and after the Closing.

(d) Attorney-Client Privilege. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all communications prior to the Closing between the Company, Sellers, and the Sellers’ Representative, on the one hand, and WBD, on the other hand, regarding the evaluation, analysis and/or negotiation of this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents shall remain the sole property of the Sellers (the “Transaction Related Communications and Documents”), and the Sellers shall hold attorney-client privilege with respect to all such communications. Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to possession of all documents, books, records, agreements and financial data of any sort belonging to the Company; provided, however, in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub be provided access to or possession to the Transaction Related Communications

and Documents without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, unless Sellers are determined to have waived such attorney-client privilege by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 9.11 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, subsection, Appendix, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to a Section, subsection, Appendix, Exhibit or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained in this Agreement, in any Schedules and in the table of contents to this Agreement, are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Any capitalized term used in any Exhibit or Schedule and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to such term in this Agreement. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, whenever the words “include”, “includes”, “including”, “such as” or terms of similar meaning are used in this agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereby” and “hereunder” and terms of similar meaning when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “or” is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as to the plural forms of such terms. Any agreement or instrument defined or referred to herein means such agreement or instrument as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented as permitted herein or therein. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. Pronouns of one gender shall include all genders.

Section 9.12 Acknowledgment of Parent and Merger Sub. Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that it has relied on the representations and warranties of the Sellers expressly and specifically set forth in this Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedules, in making its determination to proceed with the Transaction. Parent and Merger Sub understand and acknowledge the disclaimer set forth in Section 3.25. In connection with Parent’s and Merger Sub’s investigation of the Company, Parent and/or Merger Sub has received certain future projections, including future projected statements of operating revenues and income from operations of the Company and certain future business plan information. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such future estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, and that Parent and Merger Sub is familiar with such uncertainties. Accordingly, Parent and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge that neither the Sellers nor the Company are making any representation or warranty with respect to such future estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such future estimates, projections and forecasts except as set forth in Article III (and the related Disclosure Schedules), and each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby disclaims any reliance on such future estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans.

Section 9.13 Signature in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (whether transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means) none of which need

contain the signatures of all Parties, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than the number of counterparts containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, all of the parties hereto.

Section 9.14 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement are cumulative and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies under Law.

Section 9.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Recitals which are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement), together with all Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the other Transaction Documents, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties.

Section 9.16 Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other Parties. No Party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense related to lack of authenticity.
