Upon the surrender of each such Certificate, if applicable, and a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent shall, at the Effective Time, pay the holder of such shares of Common Stock the Per Share Common Stock Merger Consideration, in consideration therefor, and such shares of Common Stock and any related Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. Upon the surrender of each such Certificate, if applicable, and a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal any time after the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent shall, no earlier than at the Closing and as soon as reasonably practicable, pay the holder of such shares of Common Stock the Per Share Common Stock Merger Consideration, in consideration therefor, and such shares of Common Stock and any related Certificate shall forthwith be canceled.

(ii) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Company of any shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

The Exchange Agent will notify Parent prior to the time that any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains unclaimed would have to be delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws and, at Parent’s option, such portion shall be paid to Parent.

(iv) After the Effective Time, any Common Stockholders or holder of Equity Awards will be entitled to look only to the Surviving Company for payment of their respective claims for the consideration set forth in this Article II, without interest thereon, but will have no greater rights against the Surviving Company than may be accorded to general creditors thereof under applicable Law.

(v) In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will issue, or will cause to be issued, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the payments with respect to such Certificate to which such Person is entitled pursuant to this Article II; provided, that the Person to whom such payments are made shall, as a condition precedent to the payment thereof, indemnify Parent and the Surviving Company against any claim that may be made against Parent, a Merger Sub or the Surviving Company with respect to the Certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

-20-

(viii) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate (or uncertificated shares of Common Stock) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon surrender thereof, and no cash payment with respect any cash portion of Per Share Common Stock Merger Consideration or in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder, until the surrender of such Certificate (or uncertificated shares of Common Stock) in accordance with this Article II. Subject to escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate (or uncertificated shares of Common Stock), there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, (1) the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(ix) and (2) the amount of dividends or other distributions declared on the shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date prior to such surrender that is payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and, at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(ix) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Common Stock pursuant to this Article II. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Common Stock converted pursuant to the Initial Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of Common Stock exchanged by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the Closing Parent Common Stock Price.

(x) The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent upon termination of the Exchange Fund pursuant to this Section 2.9 and any losses resulting from such investments will be made up by Parent to the extent necessary to pay the Per Share Common Stock Merger Consideration.

Not less than five (5) Business Days following the receipt of the 2013 EBITDA Statement, Parent shall notify the Company in writing

-21-

in the event that it disputes any aspect of the 2013 EBITDA Statement, which note shall include reasonable detail about such disputes (it being understood and agreed by Parent that any disputes must be limited to disputes relating to whether 2013 Adjusted EBITDA has been properly calculated in accordance with the definitions and procedures set forth in this Agreement and the Exhibits hereto, and may not include any disputes relating to proposed changes or modifications to such definitions or procedures). During such five (5) Business Day period, the Company and its accountants will provide Parent and its accountants with reasonable access to such individuals and such information, books, records and work papers as may be reasonably required by Parent in order to reasonably verify such calculations; provided, however, that external accountants shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to Parent except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after Parent and/or Parent’s accountants, as applicable, has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants. If Parent does not provide such notice of dispute within such five (5) Business Day period, the amount set forth on the 2013 EBITDA Statement shall be the 2013 Adjusted EBITDA for the purposes of the Closing. If Parent provides such notice of dispute within such five (5) Business Day period, the Company and Parent shall promptly negotiate in good faith to expeditiously resolve any such dispute. The amount so agreed following such negotiations shall be the 2013 Adjusted EBITDA for the purposes of the Closing. If the Company and Parent are unable to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the 2013 EBITDA Statement within five (5) Business Days, the Company and Parent shall submit all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the 2013 EBITDA Statement (along with a copy of the 2013 EBITDA Statement marked to indicate those line items that are not in dispute) to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other independent certified public accountant reasonably mutually acceptable to Parent and the Company (in any such case, the “Independent Accountant”). The Independent Accountant, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall be jointly instructed by Parent and the Company to, within fifteen (15) Business Days after such Person’s selection, make a final determination, binding on the parties to this Agreement and the holders of Common Stock, of the appropriate calculation of 2013 Adjusted EBITDA as to which Parent and the Company disagree. With respect to each disputed calculation, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Parent, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the calculation advocated by the Company and Parent with respect to such disputed line item. The Independent Accountant’s determination shall be made in accordance with the definition in this Agreement of 2013 EBITDA, 2013 Adjusted EBITDA and the Maximum Adjustment Amount, as applicable. If after the delivery of the 2013 EBITDA Statement but prior to the Closing, there shall be a change in any component of the 0000 XXXXXX Xxxxxxxxx, the Company shall update the 2013 EBITDA Statement accordingly to reflect such change, and Parent shall be given an equivalent opportunity to dispute any such updated portion of the 0000 XXXXXX Xxxxxxxxx as applied with respect to the original delivery of such statement.

(b) The cost of the Independent Accountant’s review and determination shall be shared equally by Parent on the one hand and the Company on the other hand. During the review by the Independent Accountant, the Company and its accountants will make available to the Independent Accountant interviews with such individuals, and such information, books, records and work papers as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accountant to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.10(c); provided, however, that the external accountants shall not

-22-

be obliged to make any work papers available to the Independent Accountant except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after the Independent Accountant has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants. In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accountant will be entitled to the privileges and immunities of an arbitrator.

(c) The Company shall, during the Interim Period, engage Xxxxxx to calculate the Underfunded Amount as of the last day of each quarter following the date hereof, beginning with the quarter ending December 28, 2013, with such calculation to be performed in accordance with their customary terms and procedures prior to the date hereof and to be completed no later than the 18^th day following the last day of such applicable quarter and promptly delivered in writing to Parent with a copy of the calculation prepared by Xxxxxx.

2.11. Certain Adjustments. If, during the Interim Period (and as permitted by Section 5.2), the outstanding shares of Common Stock or Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class of shares by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the Per Share Common Stock Merger Consideration and the Per Option/EAR Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change; provided that nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

2.12. Conversion of Shares in the Follow-On Merger. At the effective time of the Follow-On Merger, by virtue of the Follow-On Merger and without any action on the part of any party, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company as the surviving corporation in the Initial Merger issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Follow-On Merger shall be converted into and become one limited liability company interest of the Surviving Company.

(d) Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to, or has any commitment to become a party to, any joint venture, off-balance sheet partnership or any similar contract, agreement or arrangement (including any contract, agreement or arrangement relating to any transaction or relationship between or among Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any unconsolidated Affiliate, including any structured finance, special purpose or limited purpose entity or Person, on the other hand, or any “off-balance sheet arrangements” (as defined in Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act)), where the result, purpose or intended effect of such contract, agreement or arrangement is to avoid disclosure of any material transaction involving Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in Parent’s or such Subsidiary’s financial statements.

Since June 29, 2013, there has not been any change, event, fact, effect or occurrence (or with respect to any change, event, fact, effect or occurrence existing prior to June 29, 2013, any worsening thereof) that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

4.11. Financial Ability.

If requested by Parent, the Company will agree to any action contemplated by this Section 5.5, provided that any such agreement or action is conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Parent and each Merger Sub agrees to provide such assurances as to financial capability, resources and creditworthiness as may be reasonably requested by any Governmental Authority or other Person whose consent or approval is sought hereunder. The foregoing agreement in this section is made solely to facilitate the closing of the Mergers and does not constitute a representation or admission that the Mergers, if consummated without any modification, would violate any Competition Laws or that agreeing to the divestitures, hold separate conditions or other restrictions permitted herein or suggested by any Person or authority acting under any Competition Law would not be harmful to the parties. Notwithstanding

-54-

anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to oppose by refusing to consent to, through litigation or otherwise any request, attempt or demand by any Governmental Authority or other Person for any divestiture, hold separate condition or any other restriction with respect to any assets, businesses or product lines of either Parent or the Company and shall have the obligation to defend litigation instituted by such Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to the legality of the Mergers under applicable Competition Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall take all actions required under this Section 5.5, in a timely manner, as are necessary to achieve the clearance or approval of the Governmental Authority or other Person prior to the Termination Date, provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to take actions that would amount to a Burdensome Condition. If there is no decree, order or injunction restricting or prohibiting the Mergers but an appeal is pending, Parent shall not be obligated to proceed to close the Mergers until the Termination Date, as such date may be extended pursuant to Section 8.1(b), and if such appeal remains pending on such Termination Date, Parent shall be obligated to close the Mergers on such date, provided that on such date all other conditions to Closing have then been satisfied. The parties shall take reasonable efforts to share information protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this section so as to preserve any applicable privilege.

5.6. Certain Tax Matters. Each of the parties shall, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable efforts to obtain the tax opinion referenced in Section 7.8 hereof. None of the parties shall (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries not to) take or fail to take any action which action (or failure to act) would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Initial Merger and the Follow-On Merger, taken together, from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

5.7. Maintenance of Insurance. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to continue to carry their existing insurance through the Closing in all material respects, and shall use reasonable best efforts not to allow any material breach, default or cancelation (other than expiration and replacement of policies in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice) by the Company or its Subsidiaries of such insurance policies or agreements that are material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to occur or exist without the consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

5.8. Employment Matters.

(a) Compensation and Benefits. Parent shall provide each employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who is covered by a collective bargaining agreement as of the Closing Date (a “Union Employee”)) as of the Closing, for so long as they remain employed with Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) after the Closing (any such employee, a “Continuing Employee”) with: (i) from the Closing Date through at least December 31, 2014, an annual rate of base salary or hourly wages, as applicable, that is the same as the annual rate of base salary or hourly wages, as applicable provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing; (ii) subject to the final sentence of this section 5.8(a) (A) if the Closing Date occurs on or prior to the last day of the Company’s 2014 fiscal year, within 75 days after the

-55-

Closing Date, a payment to each Continuing Employee (whether or not employed following the Closing Date) of an amount in respect of such Continuing Employee’s annual cash bonus otherwise due in respect of the Company’s 2014 fiscal year pursuant to the applicable Benefit Plan (the “2014 Bonus Amount”), and such 2014 Bonus Amount shall be prorated based on the period between December 29, 2013 and the Closing Date relative to 365 days; but if (B) the Closing Date occurs in 2015, then (x) the Company shall determine and make payment of each Continuing Employee’s 2014 Bonus Amount based on the Company’s achievement of the 2014 performance target in the ordinary course of business and (y) within 75 days after the Closing Date, a payment to each Continuing Employee (whether or not employed following the Closing Date) of an amount in respect of such Continuing Employee’s annual cash bonus otherwise due in respect of the Company’s fiscal year ending on December 31, 2015 pursuant to the applicable Benefit Plan (the “2015 Bonus Amount”), and such 2015 Bonus Amount shall be prorated based on the period between the first day of the Company’s 2015 fiscal year and the Closing Date relative to 365 days; and (iii) from the Closing Date through at least the last day of the Company’s 2014 fiscal year, employee benefits on the same terms and conditions as provided under the Benefit Plans as in effect immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, if the Closing occurs in 2015, then such employee benefits as shall be determined by Parent in consultation reasonably and in good faith with the Company’s senior management, taking into account the terms of such employee benefits as they existed prior to the Closing; provided, further, that in all cases, the U.S. Foodservice, Inc. Defined Pension Benefit Plan (the “Defined Benefit Plan”) shall be maintained as in effect on the date of this Agreement through the last day of the Company’s 2014 fiscal year. In respect of clause (ii) of this Section 5.8(a), the 2014 Bonus Amount and the 2015 Bonus Amount shall be based on a bonus opportunity and performance criteria established by the Company reasonably and in good faith in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice under the applicable Benefit Plan that is an annual cash bonus plan in which such Continuing Employee participates (and for the avoidance of doubt the Company may adjust in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice the target opportunity of any Continuing Employee who is promoted in a manner otherwise permitted under Section 5.2(c) of this Agreement).

(b) Recognition of Service; Pre-existing Conditions. Periods of employment with the Company or any of its current or former Affiliates, to the extent previously recognized under any analogous Benefit Plan of the Company and its Affiliates, shall be taken into account for all purposes, including, as applicable, eligibility for participation, vesting, level of benefits, and benefit accrual of any Continuing Employee under the corresponding employee benefit plan offered by Parent or an Affiliate of Parent to the Continuing Employees, including vacation plans or arrangements, defined contribution, and any severance and welfare plans; provided, however, that Parent and its Affiliates shall not be required to recognize such service (x) for purposes of benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans (other than the Defined Benefit Plan), (y) for purposes of plans which are frozen to new participants, or (z) to the extent such credit would result in duplication of benefits. Additionally, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive any limitation on health insurance coverage of the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents due to pre-existing conditions under all applicable medical plans of Parent or an Affiliate of Parent to the extent such condition was satisfied or waived under the comparable Benefit Plan prior to the Closing Date and (ii) credit all Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents with all payments credited against out-of-pocket maximums and deductible payments and co-payments paid by such Person, in each case, under the comparable Benefit Plan prior to

-56-

the Closing Date during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs for the purpose of determining the extent to which any such Person has satisfied his or her deductible and whether he or she has reached the out-of-pocket maximum under any health insurance plans of Parent or an Affiliate of Parent for such year.

(c) Severance. Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a) above, with respect to any Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated by Parent or any of its Affiliates on or prior to June 30, 2015, under any circumstances that would give rise to a right to severance payments and benefits under the US Foods, Inc. Severance Plan, restated effective as of July 31, 2013 (the “Severance Plan”), subject to such Continuing Employee’s execution of a release of claims in a form customarily provided by Parent to its similarly situated employees, Parent shall provide each such Continuing Employee with the greater of (a) the severance payments and benefits that such Continuing Employee would have received under the Severance Plan and (b) the severance payments and benefits due to a similarly situated employee of Parent or its Affiliates, as applicable, pursuant to the Sysco Corporation Involuntary Severance Plan or any successor plan thereto in effect on the date of such termination (and for the avoidance of doubt in each case, such Continued Employee shall be credited for all service with the Company, Parent and their respective Affiliates as provided in Section 5.8(b) above); provided, however, if any such Continuing Employee is entitled to severance benefits under an individual severance, employment or similar agreement, the terms of such agreement and not this Section 5.8(c) shall govern.

(d) Union Matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Union Employee, Parent shall provide for such compensation and benefits as are required to be provided to such Union Employee pursuant to the terms of any applicable collective bargaining agreement.

(e) Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Section 5.8 shall (i) be treated as an amendment of, or undertaking to amend, any employee benefit plan or (ii) prohibit Parent or any of its Affiliates from amending or terminating any employee benefit plan or from terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee or Union Employee. The provisions of this Section 5.8 are solely for the benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and nothing in this Section 5.8, express or implied, shall confer upon any Continuing Employee or Union Employee, or legal representative or beneficiary thereof or other Person, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement or a right of any employee or beneficiary of such employee or other Person under an employee benefit plan that such employee or beneficiary or other Person would not otherwise have under the terms of that employee benefit plan without regard to this Agreement.

5.9. Section 280G. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company for their determination all payments or benefits that in the absence of such a vote could reasonably be viewed as “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder), made to any individuals that are “disqualified individuals” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder); provided that in no event shall this Section 5.9 be construed to require the Company or any Subsidiary to actually obtain shareholder approval. Such shareholder vote

-57-

shall be carried out pursuant to the procedures and requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, and at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date the Company submits all relevant arrangements for such shareholder approval, the Company shall provide Parent, for its review and reasonable comment, a copy of the documentation proposed to be submitted (including any waivers necessary to validly hold the vote referenced above) and the calculations prepared under Section 280G of the Code, upon which the shareholder vote is being sought. Within forty-five (45) days following the date of this Agreement, with respect to each “disqualified individual” of the Company (as defined above), the Company shall furnish (i) a schedule that sets forth (A) the Company’s reasonable, good faith estimate of all payments or benefits that could be provided to such disqualified individual as a result of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (alone or in combination with any other event), and (B) the “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) for each such individual, and (ii) the underlying data and documentation on which such schedule is based.

5.10. Public Announcements. The Company and Parent shall agree on a press release announcing the entering into of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Thereafter, each party hereto will consult with the other party before issuing any other press release or otherwise making any public statements or disclosures with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the terms hereof, and each party shall not, without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), issue any such press release or make any such public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as may be required by applicable Law or regulation (including any New York Stock Exchange requirement).

5.11. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) For six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, (i) Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to indemnify and hold harmless all past and present employees, agents, officers and directors of the Company and of its Subsidiaries to the same extent such Persons are currently indemnified by the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents as in effect on the date hereof for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, and for such period of time Parent shall not, and shall not permit the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries to, amend, repeal or modify any provision in the Surviving Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents relating to the exculpation or indemnification of present and former officers and directors as in effect in the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as required by applicable Law and (ii) Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to honor any indemnification agreements in effect between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any past or present employees, agents, officers or directors of the Company or its Subsidiaries as in effect as of the date hereof. If the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns shall: (x) consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger; or (y) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Company shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.11.

-58-

(b) Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to maintain in effect for six (6) years from the Closing Date directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those Persons who are currently covered by the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (“D&O Insurance”) on terms not less favorable than such existing insurance coverage; provided that the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required, and Parent shall not be required to cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries, to pay for the D&O Insurance in an annual amount in excess of two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium currently paid as of the date hereof by the Company and its Subsidiaries for such insurance; provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent or the Surviving Company shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such maximum amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries will, with Parent’s prior written consent, and at Parent’s request shall, prior to the Effective Time, purchase six (6) years run-off directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that is dedicated to the Company and its Subsidiaries and not shared with any other entity that is unrelated to the Company and its Subsidiaries (“Runoff D&O Insurance”); provided that payment for such insurance coverage provided by such Runoff D&O Insurance shall not exceed two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium currently paid as of the date hereof by the Company and its Subsidiaries for such insurance without Parent’s prior written consent. If the cost of the Runoff D&O Insurance would require an expenditure that exceeds such amount and Parent does not so consent, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, obtain policies with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such maximum amount. Any such Runoff D&O Insurance policies will satisfy Parent’s obligation under this Section 5.11(b) to provide D&O Insurance; provided that in the event that any claim is brought under such D&O Insurance, the policy shall be maintained until final disposition thereof.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.11 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

(d) This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the past and present officers and directors of the Company and of its Subsidiaries and their respective heirs and legal representatives. The rights to indemnification and advancement and the other rights provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such a Person is entitled, whether pursuant to applicable Law, contract or otherwise.

5.12. Termination of Affiliate Agreements. At or prior to the Effective Time, unless otherwise directed in writing by Parent or provided elsewhere herein, the Company shall terminate, or otherwise amend to exclude the Company and any of its Subsidiaries as a party thereto, all Affiliate Agreements to the extent provided on Section 5.12 of the Disclosure Letter and shall take such other actions specified on Section 5.12 of the Company Disclosure Letter.

-59-

5.13. Appraisal Notice. The Company shall prepare and mail (which may be included in the S-4) an appraisal notice as and to the extent required pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL to any holder of Common Stock that has not consented to this Agreement and the Mergers that complies with applicable Law, in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent and at a time reasonably agreed with Parent.

5.14. Financing. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees, agents, and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to, provide all cooperation that is reasonably requested by Parent to assist Parent and the Merger Subs in the arrangement of any third party debt financing (including any debt capital markets financing) for the purpose of funding the payment of the Aggregate Cash Amount and the repayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or discharge of any outstanding Indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including pursuant to a Debt Offer, the Existing Credit Facility Terminations or a CMBS Transaction)), and the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith (the “Financing”), including but not limited to (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable, furnishing to Parent and the Financing Sources such financial and other information relating to the Company customary or reasonably necessary for the completion of such Financing to the extent reasonably requested by Parent to assist in preparation of customary offering or information documents to be used for the completion of the Financing (“Financing Offering Materials”); (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the marketing efforts of Parent and the Financing Sources, including using commercially reasonable efforts to participate in a reasonable number of requested meetings with the parties acting as lead arrangers or agents for, and prospective lenders and purchasers of, the Financing and the Company’s senior management and Representatives, presentations, roadshows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies in connection with the Financing; (iii) delivering (A) audited consolidated balance sheets and related audited statements of comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company (the “Audited Annual Financials”) for each of the three most recently ended fiscal years that have ended at least 90 days (or 75 days in the case of any fiscal year ended after December 31, 2013) prior to the Closing Date (and the audit reports for such financial statements shall not be subject to any “going concern” qualifications) and (B) unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related unaudited statements of comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows of the Company (the “Quarterly Financials”) for each subsequent interim quarterly period that has ended at least 40 days prior to the Closing Date, in the case of each of clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B), meeting the requirements of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act as would be applicable to an Annual Report on Form 10-K or a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as applicable (it being further agreed that (x) the Company shall deliver to Parent the consolidated financial statements of the Company described in this clause (iii) in respect of any such fiscal period (other than Audited Annual Financials for its 2011 and 2012 fiscal years) no later than the date upon which the corresponding consolidated financial statements of the Operating Subsidiary for such fiscal period are filed with the SEC and (y) the Company shall deliver to Parent the Audited Annual Financials for its 2011 and 2012 fiscal years no later than the date upon which it delivers the Audited Annual Financials for its 2013 fiscal year); (iv) using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s independent accountants to provide reasonable assistance to Parent consistent with their customary practice (including to consent to the use of their audit reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries in any materials

Without limiting the foregoing proviso, Parent agrees, promptly upon request, to reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with the Financing promptly following the incurrence thereof (limited, in the case of any costs, fees and expenses for preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Company described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, to the incremental costs, fees and expenses for preparing such financial statements in excess of the costs, fees and expenses of preparing the corresponding financial statements of the Operating Subsidiary). Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Significant Stockholders, its and their respective Affiliates, and its and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, awards, judgments and penalties of any type actually suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with any action taken, or cooperation provided, by the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives at the request of Parent pursuant to this Section 5.14 and/or the provision of information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided in writing by the Company or its Subsidiaries specifically for use in connection therewith); in each case, except to the extent that any such obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, awards, judgments and penalties, fees, costs or other liabilities are suffered or incurred as a result of the Company’s

-61-

or its Representatives’ gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement, as applicable. The Company hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing, provided such logos are used solely in a customary manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and on such other customary terms and conditions as the Company shall reasonably impose. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of the Financing, or any alternative financing, is not a condition to the Closing and reaffirm their obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any alternative financing, subject to fulfillment or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement, Parent shall be permitted to share all information subject to such agreements with its potential financing sources, subject to customary confidentiality undertakings by such potential financing sources with respect thereto.

5.15. Treatment of Certain Indebtedness.

(a) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Operating Subsidiary to commence, as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of a written request from Parent to do so subsequent to the date of this Agreement, (i) a consent solicitation with respect to any and all of the Operating Subsidiary’s outstanding 8.5% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”) on substantially the terms and conditions of the draft Consent Solicitation Statement provided by Parent to the Company on December 8, 2013 (the “Consent Solicitation”) and (ii) if the requisite consents are not received in the Consent Solicitation, an offer to purchase any and all of the Notes on or (if required) after the Closing Date on terms and conditions that satisfy the requirements for a “Change of Control Offer” as defined in the Note Indenture (the “Change of Control Offer”, and together with the Consent Solicitation, collectively, the “Debt Offers”); provided, that (A) the Company shall not be required to commence any Debt Offer until Parent shall have provided the Company with the necessary offer to purchase, consent solicitation statement, letter of transmittal, supplemental indenture or other related documents in connection with such Debt Offer (collectively, the “Debt Offer Documents”) a reasonable period of time in advance of commencing the applicable Debt Offer (it being understood and agreed that Parent has provided the Company the necessary documents related to the Consent Solicitation a reasonable period of time in advance of the date hereof), (B) Parent will consult with the Company regarding the timing and commencement of the Debt Offers and any tender or consent deadlines for the Debt Offers in light of the regular financial reporting schedule of the Operating Subsidiary, the requirements of applicable Law and the requirements of the Note Indenture, (C) Parent shall consult with the Company and afford the Company a reasonable opportunity to review the material terms and conditions of the Debt Offers (it being understood and agreed that the Company has had a reasonable opportunity to review the terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation prior to the date of this Agreement), (D) the Company shall not be required to commence any Change of Control Offer prior to the date that is 60 days prior to the first date on which the Company and Parent reasonably expect the Closing may occur and (E) the Company will not be required to pay, purchase or otherwise retire any Indebtedness prior to the occurrence of the Effective Time, or seek any waiver or consent from any holder of Indebtedness or agent or representative thereof, in connection with the Change of Control Offer. The closing of the Change of Control Offer, if any, shall be expressly conditioned on the occurrence of the “Change

-62-

of Control” (as defined in the Note Indenture) pursuant to this Agreement at the Closing. Each Debt Offer shall be conducted in compliance with applicable Law, including SEC rules and regulations, to the extent applicable. None of the Notes shall be required to be accepted for purchase or purchased prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the Debt Offers; provided, however, that nothing herein shall (x) require such cooperation to the extent it would unreasonably disrupt or interfere with the business or operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the conduct thereof, or (y) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay any fees, incur or reimburse any costs or expenses, or make any payment, prior to the occurrence of the Effective Time (except to the extent that Parent promptly reimburses (in the case of ordinary course out-of-pocket costs and expenses) or provides the funding (in all other cases) to the Company or such Subsidiary therefor). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, or shall cause their counsel to, furnish legal opinions in customary form and scope relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries or required by the Note Indenture, in each case, required in connection with the Consent Solicitation.

(b) Following the commencement of the Debt Offers, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, make any change to the terms and conditions of the Debt Offers, unless such change is previously approved by Parent in writing or is required by Applicable Law, or (in the case of the Change of Control Offer) is required pursuant to the terms of the Note Indenture.

(c) Subject to Section 5.15(a), the Company shall not, without the written consent of Parent, waive any condition to the Debt Offers other than as agreed in writing between Parent and the Company.

(d) The Company covenants and agrees that, promptly following the expiration date of the Consent Solicitation, if the requisite valid consents from holders of the Notes have been received in accordance with the Note Indenture and the terms of the Consent Solicitation, the Company shall cause the Operating Subsidiary and its other Subsidiaries party to the Note Indenture to, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Note Trustee to, execute a supplemental indenture to the Note Indenture for which the requisite consent has been received, to implement the amendments to the Note Indenture described in the Debt Offer Documents with respect to the Consent Solicitation; provided, that no such amendment shall (x) be effective until immediately prior to the Effective Time unless the operative provisions of such supplemental indenture would, by their terms, revert and be deemed never to have been in effect in the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof or would cease to apply if the Effective Time never occurs or (y) be operative with respect to any period prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Parent shall prepare all necessary and appropriate documentation in connection with the Debt Offers, including the Debt Offer Documents. Parent and the Company shall, and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Debt Offer Documents (including all amendments and supplements proposed by Parent). The Debt Offer Documents (including all amendments or supplements thereto) and

-63-

all other communications with the holders of the Notes in connection with the Debt Offers (including, without limitation, any materials provided, furnished or filed pursuant to the next succeeding sentence) shall be subject to prior review of, and comment by, Parent and the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to each of them. If at any time prior to the completion of the Debt Offers, any information should be discovered by the Company or Parent that either the Company or Parent reasonably believes should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Debt Offer Documents, so that the Debt Offer Documents shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly notify the other party, and an appropriate amendment or supplement prepared by Parent describing such information shall be disseminated by or on behalf of the Company to the holders of the applicable Notes (which amendment or supplement and dissemination may, at the reasonable direction of Parent, take the form of the furnishing or filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.15, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Subsidiaries to, comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act, to the extent applicable, and (to the extent permitted by the Note Indenture) any other applicable Laws to the extent such Laws are applicable in connection with the Debt Offers and such compliance will not be deemed a breach of this Section 5.15.

-71-

than (i) the conditions set forth in Section 6.3 and Section 7.3 and (ii) those other conditions that, by their nature, cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, but, in the case of clause (ii), which conditions would be capable of satisfaction if the Closing Date were to occur on the date of such termination) have been satisfied or waived on or prior to the date of such termination, then Parent shall pay to the Company a fee of $300,000,000 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”) (which fee shall be payable within two (2) business days after written notice of such termination, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company). If Parent fails to timely pay the Reverse Termination Fee when due pursuant to this Section 8.3, Parent shall pay to the Company interest on such amount at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received. The Company agrees that in the event that the Reverse Termination Fee is paid to the Company pursuant to this Section 8.3, (i) the payment of such Reverse Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, its equityholders and all of their Affiliates against Parent, the Merger Subs or any of their directors, officers and other Affiliates for, and (ii) in no event will the Company, its equityholders or any of their Affiliates be entitled to recover any other money damages or any other remedy based on a claim in law or equity with respect to, (1) any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Mergers to be consummated, (2) the termination of this Agreement, (3) any liabilities or obligations arising under this Agreement, or (4) any claims or actions arising out of or relating to any breach, termination or failure of or under this Agreement, and upon payment to the Company of the Reverse Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 8.3(a), neither Parent, the Merger Subs nor any of their directors, officers or other Affiliates shall have any further liability or obligation to the Company, its equityholders or any of their Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in any circumstance in which the Reverse Termination Fee is paid (whether due to any willful, intentional or unintentional breach by Parent or a Merger Sub, or for any other reason), then the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against Parent, the Merger Subs or any of their Affiliates, equityholders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents or other representatives (the “Parent Related Parties”) for any breach, loss or damage shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive payment of the Reverse Termination Fee, only to the extent provided for by this Section 8.3(a), and upon payment of such amount in accordance with this Section 8.3(a) no Person shall have any rights or claims against any of the Parent Related Parties under this Agreement, in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and none of the Parent Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, or in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Nothing herein shall limit the Company’s rights under Section 8.4 prior to the termination of this Agreement or the Company’s right to seek payment of and be paid the Reverse Termination Fee in accordance with this Agreement if the Company has pursued alternative remedies hereunder in lieu of pursuing the Reverse Termination Fee and the Company ceases to pursue such remedies without having obtained them.

(b) Each of the Company, Parent and each Merger Sub acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by

-72-

this Agreement, (ii) the Reverse Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company and its Affiliates in the circumstances in which such fee is paid for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone 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, and (iii) without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement.

(c) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement will forthwith become void and have no further force or effect, without any Liability (other than, except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.3, with respect to fraud or willful breach or as set forth in Section 8.2 or this Section 8.3) on the part of Parent, any Merger Sub or the Company. The provisions of Section 8.2, this Section 8.3, Section 9.7, Section 9.11, Section 9.12, Section 9.15 and Section 9.16 and will survive any termination hereof.

8.4. Specific Performance.

(a) Subject to Section 8.3, the parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable remedies to prevent and restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court specified in Section 9.15, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, may only be made against the entities and Persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement in their capacities as such and no former, current or future stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers, agents or Affiliates of any party hereto, or any former, current or future direct or indirect stockholder, equity holder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, agent or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. Without limiting the rights of any party against the other parties hereto, in no event shall any party or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Recourse Party.

9.12. Release. Effective upon the Closing, Parent, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Surviving Company and each of its former, present and future Subsidiaries (each of the foregoing, a “Releasing Party”), hereby releases and forever discharges each former, current or future stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers, agents or Affiliates of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any former, current or future stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers, agents or Affiliates of the foregoing (or a fiduciary of any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any of its present or former Subsidiaries) (each of the foregoing, a “Released Party”) from any and all claims, rights, obligations, debts, liabilities, actions or causes of action of every kind and nature, whether foreseen or unforeseen, contingent or actual, and whether now known or hereafter discovered, which any of the Releasing Parties had, now has or may in the future have, at law or in equity, against any Released Party in any way arising out of, in connection with, pertaining to or by reason of (i) their respective status as such or (ii) any acts or omissions, or alleged acts or omissions, by any of them in their respective capacities as such, which acts or omissions existed or occurred at or prior to the Closing (each, a “Released Claim”); provided, however, that the Releasing Parties expressly do not release their rights and interests (i) under (y) this Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement or (z) the Confidentiality Agreement and the joint defense agreement between the Company and Parent, (ii) with respect to claims, actions, causes of action or any liabilities that arise as a result of actual fraud, intentional misrepresentation or other criminal act by the Released Party or (iii) with respect to any claim of, or liability to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any successor thereof) against any Released Party to the extent resulting from the Released Party’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Each of Parent and each Merger Sub covenants and agrees that it will honor such

-76-

release and will not, and will cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries not to, take any action inconsistent therewith (including commencing any Litigation with respect to, or directly or indirectly transferring to another Person, any Released Claim). This Section 9.12 shall survive the Closing, is intended for the benefit of and may be enforced directly by each of the Released Parties, and shall be binding on all successors and permitted assigns of Parent and the Surviving Company.

9.13. Further Assurances. Upon the reasonable request of Parent or the Surviving Company, each party will, on and after the Closing Date, execute and deliver to the other parties such other documents, assignments and other instruments as may be reasonably required to effectuate the Mergers and to effect and evidence the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.14. Entire Understanding. The Exhibits, the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the confidentiality and joint defense agreement between the parties set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

9.15. JURISDICTION OF DISPUTES.

9.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES OF FACT AND LAW, AND THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE NEGOTIATION, EXPLORATION, DUE DILIGENCE WITH RESPECT TO OR ENTERING INTO OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.16.

9.17. Disclosure Letters. Disclosure in any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter shall apply only to the indicated Section of this Agreement, except to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to or relevant to another Section of this Agreement. The inclusion of information in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter shall not be construed as an admission that such information is material to any of the Company or its Subsidiaries or to any of Parent or its Subsidiaries, as applicable. In addition, matters reflected in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Neither the specifications of any dollar amount in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter 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 shall not be construed as an admission of liability or responsibility under any Law or in any dispute or controversy. Further, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business (except where expressly stated in the relevant representation, warranty or covenant), and shall not be construed as an admission of liability or responsibility under any Law or in any dispute or controversy.

9.18. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the

-78-

final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

9.19. Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, the language shall be construed as mutually chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.
