No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the Purchase Price (the “Estimated Purchase Price”) pursuant to which the Company shall use, for purposes of calculation of such estimate, the Enterprise Value, and the Company’s good faith estimates of (i) the amount of Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, (ii) the amount of Unpaid Seller Expenses, (iii) the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents and (iv) the Net Working Capital Adjustment. Buyer shall be entitled to review and propose comments to the Estimated Closing Statement, and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer, its accountants and other representatives in such review and consider in good faith Buyer’s appropriate proposed changes to the Estimated Closing Statement; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that in the event of any disagreement regarding changes to the Estimated Closing Statement, Seller’s determination shall control for purposes of the Closing. Promptly following delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, at Buyer’s reasonable request, Seller shall, and shall cause the Group Companies to, make the Group Companies’ financial records, the Group Companies’ books and records and the working papers of the Group Companies’ accountants prepared in connection with preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement available to Buyer and its accountants and other representatives at reasonable times during the review by Buyer of the Estimated Closing Statement.

(ii) an amount shall be paid to or on behalf of Seller (to one or more accounts designated by Seller) equal to the Estimated Purchase Price, minus the Adjustment Escrow Amount minus the Costa Rica Escrow Amount; and

(iii) an amount shall be paid in respect of the Closing Date Funded Indebtedness and the Unpaid Seller Expenses, in each case, in the amounts set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement delivered hereunder and pursuant to wire instructions provided to Buyer by Seller prior to the Closing.

(b) Determination of Final Purchase Price.

(i) As soon as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller proposed good faith calculations of (A) the Net Working Capital, (B) the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents, (C) the amount of Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, (D) the amount of Unpaid Seller Expenses and (E) the Purchase Price based thereon (collectively, the “Proposed Closing Date Calculations”), in each case, including reasonably detailed calculations of the components thereof and prepared in a manner consistent with the definitions thereof. Buyer agrees to prepare the Proposed Closing Date Calculations in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the definitions and other terms included in this Agreement.

(ii) (A) If Seller does not give written notice of any dispute (a “Purchase Price Dispute Notice”) to Buyer within forty-five (45) days of receiving the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, then Buyer and Seller agree that the Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to set forth the final Net Working Capital, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, Unpaid Seller Expenses and Purchase Price, in each case, for purposes of determining the Actual Adjustment; provided, however, that in the event that Buyer does not provide any materials reasonably requested by Seller (including any of the Group Companies’ books and records or the working papers of Buyer’s accountants prepared in connection with preparation of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations) within three (3) days of request therefor (or such shorter period as may remain in such forty-five (45)-day period), such forty-five (45)-day period shall be extended by one (1) day for each additional day required for Buyer to fully respond to such request. Prior to the end of such forty-five (45)-day period (or such longer period as may be extended in accordance with this paragraph), Seller may accept the Proposed Closing Date Calculations by delivering written notice to that effect to Buyer, in which case the Purchase Price will be finally determined when such notice is given. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller may provide a Purchase Price Dispute Notice on the basis that it has not been provided with adequate information to understand and evaluate the differences between the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, on the one hand, and Buyer’s calculation of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations (and components thereof including the Net Working Capital (and the related Net Working Capital Adjustment, if any), the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents, the amount of Closing Date Funded Indebtedness and/or the amount of Unpaid Seller Expenses), on the other hand. If Seller delivers a Purchase Price Dispute Notice to Buyer within such forty-five

-16-

(45)-day period, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute during the 30-day period commencing on the date Buyer receives the Purchase Price Dispute Notice from Seller. Any item set forth in the Proposed Closing Date Calculations and not objected to in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall not be subject to court review or otherwise appealable, and the Parties shall deliver joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Seller the Adjustment Escrow Amount less any amounts still being disputed by the Parties. If Seller and Buyer do not agree upon a final resolution with respect to any disputed items within such thirty (30)-day period, then the remaining items in dispute shall be submitted immediately to the dispute resolution group of BDO USA, LLP in New York, New York, or if BDO USA, LLP refuses such submission, the dispute resolution group of a nationally-recognized, independent accounting firm reasonably agreed upon by Buyer and Seller (BDO USA, LLP or such agreed accounting firm, as applicable, the “Accounting Firm”), the determination of such Accounting Firm being conclusive and binding on the Parties and shall not be subject to court review or otherwise appealable. Any item not specifically submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution shall be deemed final and binding on the Parties as set forth in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice, in the Proposed Closing Date Calculations (but only to the extent such item is not set forth in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice), or as otherwise resolved in writing by Buyer and Seller. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed, and Buyer and Seller shall (and Buyer shall cause the Group Companies to) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm, to render a determination (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) of the applicable dispute within forty-five (45) days after referral of the matter to such Accounting Firm, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. In a potential dispute resolution procedure pursuant to this Section 2.3(b), all prior discussions related thereto shall, unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Buyer, be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and neither Party may discuss, use or rely upon the other Party’s conduct or statements during such dispute resolution or in any communication with the Accounting Firm. In connection with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 2.3(b), Buyer and Seller agree to execute, if requested by the Accounting Firm, an engagement letter in customary form that is reasonable satisfactory to each of Buyer and Seller; provided, that in the event that either Buyer or Seller refuses to execute such an engagement letter or otherwise fails to cooperate with the other Party and the Accounting Firm in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 2.3(b) (as reasonably determined by the other Party), the other Party shall be permitted to unilaterally engage the Accounting Firm to render a determination of the applicable dispute in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.3(b) and the Accounting Firm shall be permitted to rely on any such unilateral engagement to the same extent as if the Accounting Firm were mutually engaged by Buyer and Seller, and Buyer and Seller agree that in the event of any such engagement, the determination of the Accounting Firm with respect to such dispute shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties and shall not be subject to court review or otherwise appealable.

(B) Within fifteen (15) days after the engagement of the Accounting Firm, Seller and Buyer shall submit their respective positions with respect to the items set forth in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice in the form of a written report, a copy of which shall be delivered to the other Party upon submission to the Accounting Firm, and no ex parte conferences, oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or other form of evidence gathering or hearings shall be conducted or allowed; provided, that at the Accounting

-17-

Firm’s request, or as mutually agreed by Seller and Buyer, Seller and Buyer may meet with the Accounting Firm so long as representatives of both Seller and Buyer are present. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be instructed to be based solely on the written reports submitted to the Accounting Firm by Seller and Buyer and oral submissions by Seller and Buyer at meetings held in compliance with the prior sentence (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions and other terms included in this Agreement; provided, that in resolving a disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item or less than the smallest value for such item, in each case, claimed by Buyer or Seller in the written reports submitted to the Accounting Firm. In the absence of manifest error by the Accounting Firm and Fraud, the Accounting Firm’s decision with respect to the matters in dispute shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall not be subject to court review or otherwise appealable, and any Party may seek to enforce such decision in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(C) The terms of appointment and engagement of the Accounting Firm shall be as agreed upon between Seller and Buyer, and any associated engagement fees shall be initially borne 50% by Seller and 50% by Buyer; provided, that the fees and disbursements of the Accounting Firm shall ultimately be allocated between Seller and Buyer in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted to the Accounting Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted. All other costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Party incurring such cost and expense. The Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3 and, as so revised, such Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to set forth the final Net Working Capital, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, Unpaid Seller Expenses and Purchase Price, in each case, for all purposes hereunder (including the determination of the Actual Adjustment).

(iii) Buyer and the Company shall, and shall cause the Group Companies to, make their financial records, the Group Companies’ books and records and the working papers of Buyer’s accountants prepared in connection with preparation of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations reasonably available to Seller and its accountants and other representatives (and Seller and its accountants and other representatives shall be permitted to make copies as they see reasonably necessary) during the review by Seller of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations. The Company shall further make available applicable personnel employed by the Group Companies or Buyer after the Closing to answer any questions that Seller may have during its review of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations. Such access to financial records, books and records and working papers, as well as applicable personnel, shall be during normal business hours, and shall not (A) unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of the Group Companies, (B) jeopardize attorney/client or attorney work product privilege or (C) result in any Group Company breaching any confidentiality obligations to third parties.

-18-

(i) If the Actual Adjustment is a positive amount, then within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3, Buyer shall, or shall cause a Group Company, to pay to Seller an aggregate amount equal to such positive amount by wire transfer or delivery of immediately available funds.

(ii) If the Actual Adjustment is a negative amount, then within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3, Buyer and Seller shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer from the Adjustment Escrow Funds an amount equal to the absolute value of such negative amount.

(iii) Within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3 (and concurrent with the payments made or the instructions delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(i) or 2.3(c)(ii), as applicable), Buyer and Seller shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver to Seller any Adjustment Escrow Funds not distributed to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(ii).

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, recovery from the Adjustment Escrow Account shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Buyer and its Affiliates for any negative Actual Adjustment and Seller shall not have any liability or obligation under this Section 2.3 for any portion of the Actual Adjustment in excess of the amount of the then-remaining Adjustment Escrow Funds.

(v) Any amounts which become payable pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) will constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes.

(d) Accounting Principles. The Estimated Closing Statement, the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, the Actual Adjustment and the determinations and calculations contained therein shall be prepared and calculated on a consolidated basis for the Group Companies in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the definitions and other terms included in this Agreement, except that such statements, calculations and determinations shall: (i) not include any purchase accounting or other adjustment arising out of or resulting from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) be based on facts and circumstances as they exist prior to the Closing and shall exclude the effects of any act, decision or event occurring on or after the Closing. Buyer shall not make any changes to the assumptions underlying the Accounting Principles as further specifically set forth in the Example Statement of Net Working Capital (including levels of reserves used by the Group Companies with respect thereto). In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Accounting Principles are not intended to permit the introductions of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies from those used by the Group Companies in its preparation of the Example Statement of Net Working Capital.

To the extent that such timely notice is provided to Seller and amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Buyer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. If any withholding obligation (other than pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code) may be avoided by the applicable Person providing information or documentation to Buyer, then Buyer shall request such information or documentation in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the due date of the applicable payment (which due date, in the case of the payments pursuant to Section 2.3(a), shall be the Closing Date).

All of such information shall be treated as “Evaluation Materials” pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the provisions of which are by this reference hereby incorporated herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, during the period from the date hereof until the Closing, neither the Company not any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) shall be required to disclose to Buyer or any of its representatives any (a) information (i) if, upon the advice of counsel, doing so would result in the loss of the ability to successfully assert attorney-client and work product privileges, (ii) if doing so would violate any binding agreement or applicable Law to which Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) is a party or is subject or (iii) if the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties in a litigation and such information is reasonably pertinent thereto, or (b) information relating to Taxes or Tax Returns other than information relating to the Group Companies; provided that in the event that neither the Company nor its Affiliates provides access to or disclosure of information in reliance on clause (a), the Company and its Affiliates shall provide notice to Buyer that they are withholding such access or information and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate, to the extent feasible, the applicable information without contravening any binding agreements or applicable Laws.

Section 6.3 Efforts to Consummate.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the satisfaction, but not the waiver, of the Closing conditions set forth in Article 7). Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all consents of all Governmental Entities or the expiration of all waiting periods necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Seller and the Company shall provide all reasonable assistance requested by Buyer in connection therewith. All HSR Act filing fees shall be borne by Buyer. Each Party shall make an appropriate filing, if necessary, pursuant to the HSR Act (or any similar non-U.S. Laws) with

-49-

respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement promptly (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days) after the date of this Agreement (and any such filing shall request “early termination” of any applicable waiting periods) and shall supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Entities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act (or any similar non-U.S. Laws). Without limiting the foregoing, Seller, the Company, Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall not extend any waiting period or comparable period under the HSR Act (or any similar non-U.S. Laws) or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, except with the prior written consent of the other Parties.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to: (i) offer, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, trust or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any capital stock, assets, rights, products or businesses of Buyer or any of its Affiliates; (ii) agree to any material restrictions on the activities of Buyer or its Affiliates; or (iii) waive any of the conditions set forth in Article 7 of this Agreement.

(c) In the event that a Governmental Entity issues a request for additional information or documentary material pursuant to the HSR Act (the “Second Request”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then each of Seller, Buyer and the Company shall make (or cause to be made) as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with each other, an appropriate response in compliance with the Second Request in order to obtain expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period before the Outside Date; provided that neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to: (i) offer, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, trust or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any capital stock, assets, rights, products or businesses of Buyer or any of its Affiliates; (ii) agree to any material restrictions on the activities of the Buyer or its Affiliates; or (iii) waive any of the conditions set forth in Article 7 of this Agreement.

(d) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Parties of any communication it or its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Entity relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permit the other Parties to review in advance any proposed communication by it to any Governmental Entity. No Party shall agree to participate in any meeting or substantive conversation with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting or conversation. Each Party will provide the other Parties with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between it or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that such material may be redacted as necessary to (i) comply with contractual arrangements, (ii) address legal privilege or confidentiality concerns and (iii) comply with applicable Law.

(e) The Parties may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other under this Section 6.3 as outside “counsel

-50-

only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such materials.

(f) Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective ultimate parent entities not to, acquire or agree to acquire, by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing a portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets or equity interests, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any consents of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Entity seeking or entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise; or (iv) delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.4 Exclusive Dealing. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Seller and the Company shall not take and shall cause the other Group Companies not to take, nor shall they direct any of their Affiliates, officers, directors, executive employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other agents to take, any action to solicit, initiate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to or enter into any agreement with any Person (other than Buyer and/or its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, financing sources, attorneys, accountants and other agents) concerning any purchase of any of the Company’s equity securities or any merger, sale of all, or substantially all, of the its assets outside of the ordinary course of business or similar transaction involving or relating to the Group Companies, other than assets sold in the ordinary course of business (each such acquisition transaction, an “Acquisition Transaction”), and Seller, and its Affiliates, officers, directors, executive employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants and other agents, shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, negotiations and other communications with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any such Acquisition Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Buyer hereby acknowledges that prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller and the Company has provided information related to the Group Companies and has afforded access to, and engaged in discussions with, other Persons in connection with a proposed Acquisition Transaction and that such information, access and discussions could reasonably enable another Person to form a basis for an Acquisition Transaction without any breach by Seller or the Company of this Section 6.4, (ii) subject to clause (iii) below, Seller and the Company may respond to any unsolicited proposal regarding an Acquisition Transaction by indicating that each of Seller and the Company

-51-

is subject to an exclusivity agreement and is unable to provide any information related to the Group Companies or entertain any proposals or offers or engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning an Acquisition Transaction for as long as this Agreement remains in effect, and (iii) Seller shall promptly, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days of Seller’s or the Company’s receipt of an unsolicited proposal regarding an Acquisition Transaction, notify Buyer of such proposal made, including reasonable details thereof.

Section 6.5 Contact with Customers, Suppliers and Other Business Relations. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Buyer hereby agrees that it is not authorized to and shall not (and shall not permit any of its employees, agents, representatives or Affiliates to) contact any employee, interpreter, customer, supplier, distributor or other material business relation of Seller or any Group Company, regarding any Group Company, its business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written (including by e-mail) consent of Seller; provided, however, this Section 6.5 shall not limit Buyer (and its employees, agents, representatives or Affiliates) from contacting any of its existing or prospective customers, suppliers or business relations in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.6 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Group Company, as provided in each such Group Company’s Governing Documents or otherwise in effect as of the Closing Date with respect to any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect and that each Group Company will perform and discharge such Group Company’s obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation after the Closing. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, such indemnification shall be mandatory rather than permissive, and Buyer shall cause each Group Company to advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the each such Group Company’s Governing Documents or other applicable agreements. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of each Group Company’s Governing Documents shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing Date in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing Date or at any time prior to the Closing Date, were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Group Companies, unless such modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause the Company to obtain a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage, for a period of six (6) years beginning on the Closing Date, for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by the Group Companies’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Closing with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing. Buyer shall cause the Company to maintain in effect beginning on the Closing Date and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, without any lapses in coverage, such “tail” policy. Such policy shall provide coverage that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Group Companies’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies; provided, that the Group Companies’ may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to

-52-

the beneficiaries thereof so long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date.

(c) The directors, officers, employees and agents of the Group Companies entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 6.6 are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.6. This Section 6.6 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Buyer and the Group Companies.

(d) If Buyer, the Group Companies or any of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the Group Companies shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6.

Section 6.7 Continuing Insurance Coverage. In addition to the “tail” policy referenced in Section 6.6(b), prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to (a) obtain “tail” policies for the insurance policies set forth in Schedule 6.7 that cover the Group Companies for a period of six (6) years beginning on the Closing Date with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing, and (b) renew the Company’s existing cyber insurance policy with Lloyd’s, which policy shall include an aggregate coverage limit of at least $10,000,000.00 and no material changes to the terms and conditions of the existing policy (including self-insured retentions and any sublimits) (the policies referenced in clauses (a) and (b), each a “Buyer Requested Insurance Policy”), provided that the costs of such Buyer Requested Insurance Policies shall be deemed post-Closing expenses of the Company. Such provisions shall provide coverage that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Group Companies’ corresponding policy of insurance; provided, that notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the obtaining of any such Buyer Requested Insurance Policy shall not be a condition to Closing.

Section 6.8 Documents and Information. After the Closing Date, Buyer and the Company shall, and Buyer shall cause the Group Companies to, until the seventh (7^th) year anniversary of the Closing Date, retain all books, records and other documents pertaining to the business of the Group Companies in existence on the Closing Date and, if necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement (including for any Tax matter contemplated by Section 6.10) or the defense or prosecution of any suit, claim, action or proceeding, make the same available for inspection and copying by the other Party (at such Party’s expense) during normal business hours upon reasonable request and upon reasonable notice, provided that all books, records and other documents made available after the Closing pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall be in accordance with confidentiality agreements that the Party making available reasonably requests, including such agreements as would enable the Parties to review such information without jeopardizing any attorney-client or other legal privilege and without contravening any applicable Laws or binding agreements. No such books, records or documents shall be destroyed until after the seventh (7^th) year anniversary of the Closing Date by Buyer or the Group Companies without first advising Seller in writing and giving Seller a reasonable

-53-

opportunity to obtain possession thereof, subject to the confidentiality obligations referenced in the immediately preceding sentence.

-54-

(30) days prior to the due date for filing such Income Tax Return and shall accept any reasonable comments to such Income Tax Returns to the extent (i) Buyer determines in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith that such comments reflect positions that are more likely than not to be upheld if challenged by the applicable taxing authority, and (ii) such comments are received at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for filing such Income Tax Returns.

(i) Seller shall be entitled to the amount of any Tax refunds (and any interest with respect thereto) that are received by Buyer, any Group Company (or any of their respective Affiliates) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, excluding (A) any Tax refunds or credits to the extent included in the final computation of Accrued Income Taxes or (B) any carryback of a net operating loss or other Tax attribute and (C) any Tax refunds attributable to or consisting of credits contemplated by Section 41 of the Code or corresponding provisions of state and local law (any such Tax refunds, “Tax Refunds”), provided that any such Tax Refunds shall be net of any additional Taxes or expenses incurred by Buyer, any Group Company (or any of their respective Affiliates) in connection with a Tax Refunds.

(e) Straddle Period Allocation. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Tax (or Tax refund) imposed with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax (or Tax refund) that is allocable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Income Taxes, Taxes based on receipts, sales or payments and other Taxes that are transaction based, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period prior to and ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (ii) in the case of any Income Taxes and Taxes based on receipts, sales or payments and other Taxes that are transaction based (or Income Tax refunds), be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date, provided that all permitted allowances, credits, exemptions and deductions that are normally computed on the basis of an entire year period (such as depreciation and amortization deductions) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be allocated between the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period and the post-Closing portion of the Straddle Period in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

(f) Pre-Closing Tax Matters. Without the prior written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Buyer and its Affiliates shall not, and Buyer and its Affiliates shall not permit the Group Companies to, take any of the following actions to the extent such action would adversely affect Seller by reason of such action reducing the amount of any Tax Refund otherwise payable to Seller pursuant to Section 6.10(a): (i) amend or otherwise modify any Income Tax Return relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (except as otherwise provided in Section 6.10(c)); or (ii) make or change any Income Tax election or accounting method or practice with respect to, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that any failure by Seller to consent to any such action shall be deemed unreasonable if Buyer determines in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith that the proposed action reflects one or more positions that are more likely than not to be upheld if challenged by the applicable taxing authority.

(g) Closing Tax Period. The Parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted or required under applicable Law, treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period of the Group Companies for all Tax purposes, and Buyer shall cause the Group Companies to join Buyer’s “consolidated group” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(h)) effective on the day after the Closing Date.

(h) FIRPTA Certificate. Prior to or at the Closing, Seller shall deliver a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 to Buyer; provided, that notwithstanding

-56-

anything contained in this Agreement, the delivery of such certificate shall not be a condition to Closing and Buyer’s sole right if the Company fails to provide such certificate shall be to make an appropriate withholding under Section 1445 of the Code.

(i) Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter. Buyer shall not take any action or cause any action to be taken with respect to the Company subsequent to the Closing that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to constitute part of a transaction that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the “Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter” described in IRS Notice 2001-16 and/or IRS Notice 2008-111.

(j) Costa Rica Tax Items.

Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer and the Approved CR Accounting Firm in the preparation of such Costa Rica Tax Returns. Buyer shall deliver to Seller, for Seller’s review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), a draft of each such Costa Rica Tax Return as soon as is reasonably practicable following the Closing (and in any event no later than forty five (45) days prior to Costa Rica Filing Deadline) and Buyer shall accept any reasonable comments to such Costa Rica Tax Returns to the extent that (A) such comments are received at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Costa Rica Filing Deadline and (B) Buyer determines in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith that such comments reflect positions that are more likely than not to be upheld if challenged by the applicable taxing authority. Buyer shall file each such Costa Rica Tax Return promptly following approval by Seller and, in any event, no later than the Costa Rica Filing Deadline. Buyer shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Approved CR Accounting Firm relating to the preparation and filing of the Costa Rica Tax Returns; provided that Seller shall reimburse Buyer for up to $150,000 (in the aggregate) of such fees and expenses (the “Costa Rica Expense Reimbursement”) upon presentation to Seller of a written invoice from the Approved CR Accounting Firm, which shall be released from the Costa Rica Escrow Funds at Buyer’s election.

(k) Release of Costa Rica Escrow Funds.

(i) Within three (3) Business Days after the date on which Buyer files any Costa Rica Tax Return pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.10(j), Buyer and Seller shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer from the Costa Rica Escrow Funds an amount equal to the Costa Rica Tax Amount shown on such Costa Rica Tax Return.

(ii) Within three (3) Business Days after the date on which Buyer presents a written invoice for any Costa Rica Expense Reimbursement, at Buyer’s election, Buyer and Seller shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer from the Costa Rica Escrow Funds an amount equal to such Costa Rica Expense Reimbursement.

(iii) Within three (3) Business Days after the earlier of (A) the date on which all Costa Rica Tax Returns have been filed by Buyer pursuant to and in accordance with

-57-

Section 6.10(j) (as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) and concurrent with the instructions delivered pursuant to Section 6.10(k)(i) with respect to the last Costa Rica Tax Return filed by Buyer and (B) the Costa Rica Filing Deadline, Buyer and Seller shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver to Seller from the Costa Rica Escrow Funds any Costa Rica Escrow Funds not distributed to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.10(j).

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, recovery from the Costa Rica Escrow Account shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Buyer and its Affiliates for any Costa Rica Tax Liabilities and Seller shall not have any liability or obligation under this Agreement or otherwise for any portion of any Costa Rica Tax Liabilities in excess of the amount of the then-remaining Costa Rica Escrow Funds.

Section 6.11 Release of Seller. Effective upon Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself, the Company and the Group Companies, and its and their respective successors and assigns, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, releases and forever discharges Seller and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns (the “Seller Released Parties”) from any and all rights, claims, debts, causes of action, obligations and liabilities or losses of any nature or kind, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, matured or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, liquidated or unliquidated or due or to become due, and whether arising in Law, in equity or otherwise, based upon facts, circumstances or occurrences existing on or prior to Closing; provided, however, that the foregoing release does not cover (and, for purposes of clarity, such matters are not hereby released or discharged) (i) any claims or rights arising under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, or (ii) any claims against a Person based on Fraud.

Section 6.12 Release of Group Companies.

(a) Effective upon Closing, Seller does hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, releases and forever discharges the Group Companies and their respective directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns (the “Buyer Released Parties”), from any and all rights, claims, debts, causes of action, obligations and liabilities or losses of any nature or kind, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, matured or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, liquidated or unliquidated or due or to become due, and whether arising in Law, in equity or otherwise that Seller may now or henceforth have against the Buyer Released Parties from whatever cause, action, omission, or other matter or circumstance, from the beginning of time to and through the Closing; provided, however, that the foregoing release does not cover (and, for purposes of clarity, such matters are not hereby released or discharged) (i) any claims or rights arising under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or, in the case of any Buyer Released Party that is a director, officer or employee of a Group Company and is also a member or officer of Seller, under the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Seller or any agreement entered into in connection therewith (including any Grant Agreement) or (ii) any claims against a Person based on Fraud.

(b) It is each of Buyer’s and Seller’s intention that Section 6.11 and Section 6.12(a) shall be effective as a full and final accord and satisfactory release of each and every matter specifically or generally referred to in such sections. Each of Buyer and Seller acknowledges that it is aware that it may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition or

-58-

different from those it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the matters released in Section 6.11 and Section 6.12(a). Nevertheless, it is the intention of each of Buyer and Seller to fully, finally and forever settle and release all such matters, and all claims relative thereto, which do now exist, may exist, or heretofore have existed. In furtherance of such intention, each of Section 6.11 and Section 6.12(a) shall be and remain in effect as a full and complete general release of all such matters, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any additional or different claims or facts relative thereto. Each of Buyer and Seller acknowledges that the applicable laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.” Each of Buyer and Seller acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, each of Buyer and Seller agrees that, effective as of the Closing, it shall be deemed to waive any such provision.

(c) Buyer expressly covenants not to (i) xxx the Seller Released Parties to enforce any charge, claim or cause of action released pursuant to Section 6.11, (ii) participate, assist, or cooperate in any such proceeding, or (iii) encourage, assist and/or solicit any third party to institute any such proceeding. Seller expressly covenants not to (i) xxx the Buyer Released Parties to enforce any charge, claim or cause of action released pursuant to Section 6.12(a), (ii) participate, assist, or cooperate in any such proceeding, or (iii) encourage, assist and/or solicit any third party to institute any such proceeding. This covenant not to bring or maintain any action in law or equity shall be subject to specific enforcement.

Section 6.13 Non-Solicitation.

(a) As a condition to its willingness to enter into this Agreement, Buyer has required that Seller agree to the following protective covenants:

(i) Seller acknowledges that Buyer would not close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless Seller, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, agrees to the restrictions set forth herein. Accordingly, Seller expressly acknowledges that it is agreeing to these restrictions to induce Buyer to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Seller recognizes that Buyer would be irreparably damaged, and Buyer’s substantial investment in the businesses of the Group Companies materially impaired, if Seller or its Affiliates were to engage in an activity that violates these restrictions. Accordingly, Seller expressly acknowledges that it is voluntarily agreeing to these restrictions and that the terms and conditions of these restrictions are fair and reasonable to Seller and its Affiliates in all respects.

(iii) Seller will derive a substantial and direct benefit from Buyer’s payment of the Purchase Price, and as a material inducement to Buyer entering into this Agreement, has agreed, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, to enter into these restrictions in order to protect the value of the businesses acquired by Buyer hereunder (including the goodwill

-59-

inherent in such businesses). Seller acknowledges that its obligations herein are reasonable in the context of this Agreement, the nature and scope of the businesses of the Group Companies and the competitive injuries likely to be sustained by Buyer if Seller or its Affiliates violate such obligations. Sellers further acknowledges that this Agreement is made in consideration of, and is adequately supported by the agreement of Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement and by other consideration, which Seller acknowledges constitutes good, valuable and sufficient consideration.

(iv) Neither Seller nor its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, either separately or in conjunction with any other Person or through any other Person, during the Restricted Period, (A) solicit or induce for employment any employee or individual independent contractor or consultant of a Group Company who was also employed or engaged by a Group Company as of the Closing Date and/or solicit or induce any such employee or individual independent contractor or consultant to leave the employ of a Group Company or cease providing services to a Group Company; or (B) cause such Persons to terminate or refrain from renewing or extending his, her or its employment relationship or services relationship with a Group Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict the soliciting or hiring of employees employed by any Group Company through a general advertisement or general solicitation not directed or targeted at employees of the Group Companies (including through the use of search firms).

(v) Neither Seller nor its Affiliates will, at any time during the Restricted Period, unless compelled by Law, knowingly and intentionally disparage or defame Buyer or its Affiliates, the members of their governing boards, their officers or employees, in each case, in their capacities as such. Neither Buyer nor its Affiliates will, at any time during the Restricted Period, unless compelled by Law, knowingly and intentionally disparage or defame Seller or its Affiliates, the members of their governing boards, their officers or employees, in each case, in their capacities as such. Nothing in this Section 6.13 shall be violated by truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including depositions in connection with such proceedings).

(vi) Seller acknowledges and agrees that irreparably injury will result to Buyer in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 6.13 and that Buyer will not have an adequate remedy at law with respect thereto. Accordingly, in the event of a breach of the covenants contained herein, and in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy Buyer may have, Buyer shall be entitled to seek the entry of a preliminary injunction or permanent injunction (including, without limitation, specific performance) by a court of competent jurisdiction, to restrain the violation or breach thereof, without proof of any actual damages that have been or may be caused by such breach and without the necessity of posting bond.

(vii) In the event Seller or its Affiliates violate any covenant in this Section 6.13, the running of the time period of such provisions so violated shall be automatically suspended upon the date of such violation and shall resume on the date such violation ceases.

(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 6.13 shall not restrict action by any portfolio company of Kinderhook, or any portfolio company of any

-60-

investment fund managed, advised or controlled by, or affiliated with, Kinderhook, as long as neither Kinderhook nor any investment fund managed, advised or controlled by, or affiliated with, Kinderhook, or its or their respective general partners, investment managers and/or investment advisors actively directs, causes, assists or participates in such actions in violation of this Section 6.13.

(ix) Any covenant contained in this Section 6.13 that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining covenants of this Section 6.13 but shall be interpreted as if it were written so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 6.14 Financing Cooperation.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer and its Affiliates as is reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with any debt financing from one or more debt financing sources that commit to provide or arrange or otherwise enter into agreements to provide or arrange any part of the debt financing with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that nothing contained in this Section 6.14(a) shall require such cooperation to the extent it would (i) require Seller or any Group Company or any of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, equityholders, agents, consultants, advisors or other representatives to enter into or approve any agreement or arrangement or deliver any document or instrument, or incur any liability or give any indemnities, other than, in the case of the Group Companies only, those that are not effective until, or are contingent upon, the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) violate or conflict with the Governing Documents of the Group Companies, (iii) violate or constitute a breach or default under, or conflict with, or result in the termination of or a termination right under, any material contract of any of the Group Companies, (iv) violate or conflict with any applicable law, rule, regulation or order or decree, or (v) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of the Group Companies.

(b) Buyer shall reimburse Seller and the Group Companies, as applicable, for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Seller, any Group Company or any of their respective Affiliates (including those of their accountants, consultants, legal counsel, agents and other representatives) in connection with the cooperation required by this Section 6.14.

(c) Buyer and Seller hereby consent to the use of the Group Companies’ businesses’ logos in connection with any debt financing, provided that such logos shall be used in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm, disparage or otherwise adversely affect Buyer or Seller.

(d) Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, the Group Companies, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and shall hold each of them harmless from, any and all actual losses, damages, penalties, awards, fines, costs (including court costs and investigative and remedial costs), amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, obligations, Taxes, Liens, fees and expenses (including those of their accountants, consultants, legal counsel, agents and other

-61-

representatives) suffered or incurred, arising out of or resulting from any action taken by Seller or any Group Company, pursuant to this Section 6.14 or in connection with the arrangement of the debt financing or any information utilized in connection therewith, and this indemnification, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Seller Indemnified Parties.

Section 6.15 Section 280G. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller and/or any applicable Group Company shall solicit approval by their equityholders, to the extent required by, and in a manner that complies with, Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, of the right of any “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) to receive and retain any payment or benefits to be made or deemed made by Seller or any Group Company or Buyer or any of their Affiliates that could, separately or in the aggregate, in the absence of such approval by equityholders, cause such total payments and/or benefits to constitute “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (which determination shall be made by Seller and shall be subject to review and comment by Buyer). Prior to seeking such equityholder approval, Seller shall obtain from each “disqualified individual” (as defined under Section 280G(c) of the Code) with a right to any potential “parachute payment” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) a waiver of the right to the portion of payments or benefits that would cause such total payments and/or benefits to constitute “parachute payments” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) such that unless such payment and/or benefit to that disqualified individual is approved before the Closing Date by equityholders in a manner described in Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code, no such payment and/or benefit will be made or provided or retained. Within a reasonable period of time (but not less than three (3) days) prior to soliciting such waivers, Seller will provide a draft of such waivers and such equityholder vote solicitation materials (together with any calculations and supporting documentation including Forms W-2/1099 and Schedule K-1 for calendar years 2015 through 2019 for the disqualified individuals along with any contract, arrangement, agreement or plan that is providing the putative parachute payments) to Buyer for Buyer’s review and comment, and Seller will consider and incorporate any reasonable comments from Buyer relating thereto. To the extent that any of the Waived 280G Benefits are not timely approved by the equityholders of Seller or any applicable Group Company as contemplated above, such Waived 280G Benefits shall not be made or provided in any manner and to the extent necessary each affected disqualified individual shall promptly repay to the applicable payor any Waived 280G Benefits that were previously provided to the disqualified individual. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any contract, arrangement, agreement or plan is entered into by Buyer, or any of its Affiliates, and a disqualified individual in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement before the Closing Date (the “Buyer Arrangements”), Buyer shall provide a copy of such contract, arrangement, agreement or plan to the Seller at least five (5) days before the solicitation of the Code 280G equityholder vote and shall cooperate with Seller in good faith in order to calculate or determine the value (for purposes of Section 280G of the Code) of any payments or benefits granted or contemplated therein, which may be paid or granted in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that could constitute “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code.

-68-

conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 10.4 Fees and Expenses.

All transfer Taxes, recording fees or other similar Taxes imposed on any of the Parties by any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.

Section 10.5 Construction; Interpretation. The term “this Agreement” means this Agreement together with all Schedules and Exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No Party, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing or enforcing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Party, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Person by virtue of its authorship of any provision of this Agreement. An item shall be considered “made available” to Buyer, to the extent such phrase appears in Article 3 or Article 4, only if such item has been posted by the Company or its representatives in the electronic documentation site hosted by Donnelley Financial Solutions on behalf of the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date hereof. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (i) the words, “herein”, “hereto”, “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedules and Exhibits, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (iii) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (iv) the words “include”, “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (v) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if” and (vi) references to “dollar”, “dollars” or “$” shall be to the lawful currency of the United States.

Section 10.6 Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules or other documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. Any item disclosed on any Schedule referenced by a particular section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other section in this Agreement if the relevance of such disclosure to such other section is reasonably apparent. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to

-69-

whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 10.7 Time of the Essence; Computation of Time. Time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” mean “to but excluding” and the word “through” means “to and including”. Whenever the last day for the exercise of any privilege or the discharge of any duty hereunder shall fall upon a day that is not a Business Day, the Party having such privilege or duty may exercise such privilege or discharge such duty on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

Section 10.8 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Section 6.6 Section 6.12, Section 10.18 and Section 10.19, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.9 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 10.10 Amendment. Subject to Law, Section 10.11 and Section 10.18, this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written agreement executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of Buyer and Seller. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and any purported amendment by any Party or Parties effected in a manner which does not comply with this Section 10.10 shall be void.

Buyer may waive compliance by Seller or the Company with any term or provision of this Agreement (other than compliance by the Company of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed after the Closing).

(b) Any agreement on the part of any Party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party. Any waiver of any term

-70-

or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of or delay by any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights; provided, that time is of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 10.13 Knowledge of the Company. For all purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “to the Company’s knowledge”, “to the knowledge of the Company” and “known by the Company” and any derivations thereof or phrases having similar import thereto shall mean as of the applicable date, (a) the actual knowledge of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (the “Knowledge Parties”) and (b) the knowledge that any of the Knowledge Parties would have obtained after making reasonable inquiry with respect to the particular matter in question.

Section 10.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action (a) arising under this Agreement or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions related hereto, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. Each Party hereby agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the Parties may file an original counterpart of a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

Section 10.15 Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the Parties (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and (c) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each Party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address of the Party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.2. Nothing in this Section 10.15, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each Party agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

-71-

Section 10.16 Remedies.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 9, Seller and Buyer shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Seller or Buyer are entitled at Law or in equity.

(b) Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at Law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(c) To the extent any Party brings an action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an action to enforce specifically any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement), the Outside Date shall automatically be extended to (i) the tenth Business Day following the final resolution of such action and (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action.

Section 10.17 Waivers. Recognizing that Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP has acted as legal counsel to Seller and certain of its Affiliates and the Group Companies prior to the Closing, and that Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP intends to act as legal counsel to Seller and certain of its Affiliates after the Closing, each of Buyer, and each Group Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP representing Seller and/or its Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Buyer, the Group Companies or the transactions contemplated herein (including in respect of litigation). In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between Seller, its Affiliates, the Group Companies and Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Seller and its Affiliates (and not any of the Group Companies). Accordingly, Buyer agrees that following the Closing neither it, the Group Companies nor their Affiliates shall have access to any such communications, or to the files of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP relating to such engagement with Seller and certain of its Affiliates, and/or the Group Companies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) Seller and its Affiliates (and not any of the Group Companies) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and no Group Company shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Seller and its Affiliates (and not any of

-72-

the Group Companies) shall hold such property rights and (iii) Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any of the Group Companies by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP and any of the Group Companies or otherwise.

Section 10.18 Debt Financing Sources. Seller and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, managers, members or equityholders shall not have any rights or claims against any of the commercial banks, investment banks or other financial institutions providing financing to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any arrangers, administrative agents, collateral agents or trustees involved in such financing, and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, advisors, agents and representatives (each a “Debt Financing Party”) in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the performance of any financing commitments of such Debt Financing Party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. No Debt Financing Party shall have any liability (whether in contract, in tort or otherwise) to the Seller, its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, managers, members or equityholders for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the performance of any financing commitments. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any claims or causes of action brought against any Debt Financing Party in its capacity as such will not be brought in any forum other than the federal and New York State courts, in each case, located in the Borough of Manhattan within the City of New York and shall be governed by the Laws of the State of New York and the parties hereto will not support any claim or cause of action brought against any Debt Financing Party outside of the federal and New York State courts, in each case, located in the Borough of Manhattan within the City of New York. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding involving any Debt Financing Party arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. It is further agreed that the Debt Financing Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to the protections of, this Section 10.18 (and this Section 10.18 shall not be amended without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Parties).

Section 10.19 Non-Recourse. All claims or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents), may be made only against the entities that are expressly identified as Parties and thereto. No Person who is not a named party to this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, including (a) any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, equityholders (including stockholders and optionholders), Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any named party to this Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents, and (b) any Debt Financing Party, any affiliate of a Debt Financing Party and any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, equityholders (including stockholders and optionholders), Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the foregoing (“Non-Party

-73-

Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or such other Ancillary Document (as the case may be) or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or such other Ancillary Document (as the case may be) or the negotiation or execution hereof or thereof; and each Party waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third party beneficiaries of this provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.19 shall in no way limit Buyer’s recourse against any Person in the case of Fraud.
