After receipt of the Closing Statement, Seller Representative shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Statement. During the Review Period, Buyer shall provide Seller Representative reasonable access to the books and records of the Heartland Companies and work papers prepared by Buyer or Buyer’s accountants to the extent relating to the Closing Statement, as Seller Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Statement and preparing a Statement of Objections, provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Heartland Companies. (ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller Representative may object to the Closing Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Seller Representative’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount of Closing Working Capital, Closing PP&E Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses and in reasonable detail the basis for Seller Representative’s disagreement therewith and calculation thereof (the “Statement of Objections”). If Seller Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller Representative on behalf of Sellers. In addition, any item or amount of Closing Working Capital, Closing PP&E Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses to which no dispute is raised in the Statement of Objections will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties as of the expiration of the Review Period. If Seller Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller Representative, shall be final and binding. (iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Seller Representative and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any matters remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”), shall be submitted within five (5) Business Days for resolution to the Minneapolis, Minnesota office of KPMG US LLP or, if the Minneapolis, Minnesota office of KPMG US LLP is unable to serve, Buyer and Seller Representative shall appoint by mutual agreement within five (5) Business Days the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than Seller Accountants or Buyer’s accountants (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Statement, as the case may be. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific Disputed Amounts and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively, and shall make all calculations in accordance with the definitions of “Closing Working Capital”, “Closing PP&E Amount”, “Closing Cash”, “Closing Indebtedness”

- 27 - 4878-6419-4334.18 and “Company Transaction Expenses” (and the component definitions thereof) as set forth in this Agreement. All determinations shall be based solely on the presentations of Buyer and Seller Representative, and not by independent review; for the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Independent Accountant shall not have authority to decide any interpretive or procedural matter under this Section 2.04 or the Agreement more broadly, including its own jurisdiction or the scope of its review. (iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Seller Representative on behalf of Sellers, on the one hand, and by Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Seller Representative on behalf of Sellers or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Seller Representative and Buyer. (v) Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination by delivery of a written statement setting forth its resolution of the Disputed Amounts as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Statement or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, absent manifest error. (d) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the Closing Statement or (y) if there are any Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in Section 2.04(c)(v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to, (1) with respect to an amount owed to Buyer, such account as directed in writing by Buyer to Seller Representative or (2) with respect to an amount owed to Sellers, in such amounts based upon the Purchase Price Allocation Percentages and to such accounts as directed in writing by Seller Representative to Buyer. Any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment owed by Sellers to Buyer shall be paid first by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund and, (C) to the extent the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment exceeds the amount available in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund, Sellers shall, jointly and severally, pay or cause to be paid any such remaining amount directly to Buyer or (D) to the extent the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow exceeds the Post-Closing Adjustment, the amount of such excess shall be paid by Escrow Agent to Seller Representative, for further distribution to the Sellers based on the Purchase Price Allocation Percentages, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. If payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment is owed to Sellers by Buyer, the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund shall be paid by Escrow Agent to Seller Representative, for further distribution to the Sellers based on the Purchase Price Allocation Percentages, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The amount of any Post-Closing Adjustment shall bear interest from and including the later of the date of acceptance of the Closing Statement or to and including the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to prime rate as quoted in the Money Rates Section of The Wall Street Journal on the date that the Statement of Objections was delivered to Buyer. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

- 28 - 4878-6419-4334.18 (e) Adjustments for Tax Purposes.

Notwithstanding the actual occurrence of the Closing at any particular time on the Closing Date, the Closing shall be deemed to occur and be effective at 12:01 AM Central Time on the Closing Date.

Section 7.07 Contests. Buyer agrees to give written notice to Seller Representative of the receipt of any written notice by the Heartland Companies, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Buyer pursuant to this ARTICLE VII (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Buyer’s right to indemnification hereunder. Buyer shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that Buyer shall obtain the prior written consent of Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a Tax Claim or ceasing to defend such Tax Claim to the extent indemnity may be sought by Buyer pursuant to this ARTICLE VII with respect to such settlement; and, provided further, that Seller Representative shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Tax Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Seller Representative.

Section 9.06 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE IX is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE IX is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. (a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure

- 84 - 4878-6419-4334.18 to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall provide reasonable cooperation in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is a Seller, such Seller, as Indemnifying Party, shall have the right to assume such defense only if such Seller notifies Buyer in writing, within twenty (20) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim, that such Seller will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim; provided further however, such Seller shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim if (a) the Third Party Claim is asserted directly by, or on behalf of, a Person that is a Governmental Authority or Material Supplier, Material Customer or current employee of the Heartland Companies or Buyer, (b) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (c) the Third Party Claim involves or otherwise arises in connection with any criminal Action or any matter relating to Environmental Law, (d) the assumption of defense of the Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party is reasonably likely to cause a Buyer Indemnitee to lose coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy, or (e) a Buyer Indemnitee or the insurer is required to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy or the insurer has indicated in writing their desire to assume control of such defense pursuant to rights of the insurers under the R&W Insurance Policy. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 9.06(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.06(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.06) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

- 85 - 4878-6419-4334.18 (b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 9.06(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party defends the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.06(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). (c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors a reasonable opportunity to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to each Heartland Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue any or all remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE IX. (d) Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Heartland Companies shall be governed exclusively by ARTICLE VII hereof. Section 9.07 Payments. (a) Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE IX, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations

- 86 - 4878-6419-4334.18 within ten (10) Business Days of such agreement or adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such ten (10) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final adjudication to but excluding the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as quoted in the Money Rates Section of The Wall Street Journal on the date of such agreement of the Indemnifying Party or the final, non-appealable adjudication. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, for the purposes of determining whether there has been any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty and for purposes of determining the amount of any Losses resulting therefrom, each representation and warranty shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any materiality, material, material respects, Material Adverse Effect, or other similar unquantified qualification of magnitude contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty. (c) Except in the case of Fraud, no Class B Holder shall be required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to this ARTICLE IX for Losses to the extent the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the product of (i) such Class B Holder’s Purchase Price Allocation Percentage times (ii) the sum of (A) the Purchase Price plus (B) the amount, if any, by which Closing Working Capital is greater than the Target Net Working Capital. (d) Except in the case of Fraud, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx shall not be required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to this ARTICLE IX for Losses to the extent the aggregate amount of Losses for which Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx has indemnified the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to this ARTICLE IX exceeds the product of (i) Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx’x Purchase Price Allocation Percentage multiplied by (ii) the sum of (A) the Purchase Price plus (B) the amount, if any, by which Closing Working Capital is greater than the Target Net Working Capital. (e) Except in the case of Fraud, none of Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx or Xxxxxx Xxxxx, as a Class A Holder, shall be required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to this ARTICLE IX for Losses to the extent the aggregate amount of Losses for which such Class A Holder has indemnified the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to this ARTICLE IX or the Buyer Indemnitees (as defined in the Heartland Leverage Lender Purchase Agreement) pursuant to Article IX of the Heartland Leverage Lender Purchase Agreement exceeds the sum of (i) the product of (A) such Seller’s Purchase Price Allocation Percentage multiplied by (B) the sum of (1) the Purchase Price plus (2) the amount, if any, by which Closing Working Capital is greater than the Target Net Working Capital plus (ii) the product of such Seller’s Purchase Price Allocation Percentage multiplied by the Purchase Price (for purposes of subclause (ii) of this Section 9.07(e), the defined terms will have the meaning given to such terms in the Heartland Leverage Lender Purchase Agreement). Section 9.08 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

- 87 - 4878-6419-4334.18 Section 9.09 Remedies. (a) Buyer shall not procure or accept the issuance of or agree to bind any binding policy for buyer-side representation and warranty insurance (including the R&W Insurance Policy) that provides that the insurers that provide such policy will have the right to pursue any subrogation or contribution rights or any other claims against any Seller, except for subrogation rights for Fraud by such Seller or the Heartland Companies. Except in the case of Fraud, the parties acknowledge and agree the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and the Buyer Indemnitees with respect to breaches of representations and warranties of the Sellers or the Purchased Company in this Agreement shall be the R&W Insurance Policy, including in the event the R&W Insurance Policy is revoked, cancelled or modified in any manner or if the R&W Insurance Policy insurer denies coverage for, or is unable to pay, any Losses of Buyer or the Buyer Indemnitees. (b) Except in the case of Fraud, the sole and exclusive remedy of (i) Buyer and the Buyer Indemnitees with respect to any and all claims for the matters set forth in Section 9.02, Section 9.03 and Section 9.04 or (ii) Sellers and Sellers Indemnities with respect to any and all claims for the matters set forth in Section 9.05 shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE IX. (c) Nothing in this ARTICLE IX shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of Fraud. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no limitations (including any survival limitations and other limitations set forth in this ARTICLE IX), qualifications or procedures in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify the ability of Buyer to make claims under or recover under the R&W Insurance Policy, it being understood that any matter for which there is coverage available under the R&W Insurance Policy shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations, if any, set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy. (d) The parties hereto agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on Buyer’s remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to Sellers hereunder. Section 9.10 Representations and Warranty Insurance. The Purchased Company shall, and Sellers shall cause the Heartland Companies to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with all cooperation and assistance as is reasonably requested by Buyer in arranging and obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy. Section 9.11 No Circular Recovery. Each Seller hereby agrees that he or it will not make any claim for indemnification, contribution or advancement of expenses against any Heartland Company or, after the Closing, Buyer by reason of the fact that such Seller was an equity holder, controlling person, manager or representative of any of the Heartland Companies (whether such claim is for Losses of any kind or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any Law, Contract, organizational document of a Heartland Company or otherwise) with respect to any claim brought by a Buyer Indemnitee against a Seller under this Agreement (or the

- 88 - 4878-6419-4334.18 underlying facts and circumstances of any such claim) or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. With respect to any claim brought by a Buyer Indemnitee against any Seller under this Agreement or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, such Seller shall not claim and such Seller expressly waives any right of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against the Heartland Company with respect to any amounts owed by such Seller pursuant to this ARTICLE IX or otherwise. Section 9.12 Collateral Sources. The Buyer Indemnitees right to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE IX for Losses will be reduced by the amounts actually recovered by the Buyer Indemnitees under any applicable insurance policies, contractual rights or other collateral sources (net of collection costs and related expenses, including increased insurance premiums on a prospective basis) as a result of the facts that entitled the Buyer Indemnitees to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE IX. The Buyer Indemnitees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make all claims and to collect any amounts recoverable under applicable insurance policies, indemnification agreements, contracts and similar rights; provided, however, excluding as it relates to the R &W Insurance Policy, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such efforts shall not (i) require the Buyer Indemnitee to (A) incur any out-of-pocket fees or expenses or (B) litigate or arbitrate any claim, in each case, against any customer, supplier or other material business relationship if such action could have a material negative impact on the business of the Heartland Companies.

- 89 - 4878-6419-4334.18 (ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 shall not have been fulfilled by September 30, 2022 (the “End Date”), unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; provided, that if the only closing condition that remains to be satisfied (other than closing conditions that, by their terms, can only be satisfied as of Closing), is approval under the HSR Act or other applicable antitrust Law, or a pending investigation under applicable antitrust Law, the End Date shall be extended until (x) thirty (30) days following the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority either provides its consent, authorization, order, or approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or announces that it has completed such investigation without further action, or (y) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority announces that it will oppose or refuse to grant its consent for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (c) by Seller Representative by written notice to Buyer if: (i) there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in ARTICLE VIII and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Buyer within ten (10) Business Days of Buyer’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Seller Representative; or (ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.03 shall not have been fulfilled by the End Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of any Seller or the Purchased Company to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; provided, that if the only closing condition that remains to be satisfied (other than closing conditions that, by their terms, can only be satisfied as of Closing), is approval under the HSR Act or other applicable antitrust Law, or a pending investigation under applicable antitrust Law, the End Date shall be extended until (x) thirty (30) days following the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority either provides its consent, authorization, order, or approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or announces that it has completed such investigation without further action, or (y) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority announces that it will oppose or refuse to grant its consent for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (d) by Buyer or Seller Representative in the event that (i) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited or (ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable; or (e) automatically upon the termination of (i) the purchase agreement with respect to the Heartland Solutions Transaction, (ii) the purchase agreement with respect to the Heartland Leverage Lender Transaction or (iii) the resignation and general mutual release agreement with respect to the CNH Transaction.

Section 12.12 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal
