(b) At Closing, Buyer shall (i) pay to the Sellers an amount in cash equal to One Billion Two Hundred Sixty Million Dollars ($1,260,000,000), as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.2, minus the aggregate amount of all Transaction Expenses that remain unpaid at the Closing, minus the aggregate amount of all Change of Control Payments that remain unpaid at the Closing (as so calculated, the “Cash Payment”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by Sellers’ Representative (the account(s) must be designated at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), and (ii) issue to the Sellers an aggregate number of shares of Buyer Common Stock (the “Buyer Shares”) equal to (x) One Hundred Forty Million Dollars ($140,000,000) divided by (y) the Buyer Common Stock Value (the “Equity Payment”), to be delivered to the Sellers designated to receive all or part of the Equity Payment (the “Equity Payment Recipients”).

Section 2.2 Purchase Price Adjustments.

The Cash Payment shall be adjusted (x) upward on a dollar‑for‑dollar basis by the amount of any Closing Cash and (y) downward on a dollar‑for‑dollar basis by the amount of Closing Indebtedness, in each case as of the Business Day before the Closing Date as set forth below; provided, however, that any Transaction Expenses to be paid by the Company at the Closing shall not be included as Closing Cash for purposes of this Section 2.2:

(a) Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Buyer an officer’s certificate of the Company that contains a good faith and reasonable best estimate of the Closing Cash (the “Estimated Closing Cash”) and Closing Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), in each case as of the close of business on the Business Day before the Closing Date. The Cash Payment payable to the Sellers at the Closing

pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be increased by an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Cash and decreased by an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Indebtedness.

(b) Within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a good faith calculation of the actual Closing Cash and Closing Indebtedness and the amount, if any, by which the Closing Cash and the Closing Indebtedness so determined is less than or greater than the Estimated Closing Cash and Estimated Closing Indebtedness, respectively (the “Closing Statement”). Buyer shall cooperate as reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative in connection with Sellers’ Representative’s review of the Closing Statement. Sellers’ Representative may dispute Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Cash and Closing Indebtedness set forth on the Closing Statement by delivering a written notice (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer within 15 days following delivery of the Closing Statement. During the 15 days following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement.

(c) If Buyer and Sellers’ Representative have not resolved all issues at the end of the 15-day period referred to in Section 2.2(b), the parties shall submit to Deloitte & Touche LLP (the “Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution of such matters which remain in dispute, and the Accounting Firm shall make a final determination of the Closing Cash and Closing Indebtedness and the amount, if any, by which the Closing Cash and the Closing Indebtedness so determined is less than or greater than the Estimated Closing Cash and Estimated Closing Indebtedness, respectively, in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. The parties will cooperate with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement. The Accounting Firm’s determination will be based solely on presentations by Buyer and Seller or their respective representatives which are in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The determination of the Closing Cash and Closing Indebtedness shall become final and binding on the parties on the date the Accounting Firm delivers its final resolution in writing to the parties (which final resolution shall be delivered not more than 30 days following submission of such disputed matters). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller.

(d) If the Closing Cash calculated in accordance with Section 2.2(b) is greater than the Estimated Closing Cash or the Closing Indebtedness determined in accordance with Section 2.2(b) is less than the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, then Buyer shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) pay to the Sellers the absolute value of such difference, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative. If the Closing Cash calculated in accordance with Section 2.2(b) is less than the Estimated Closing Cash or the Closing Indebtedness calculated in accordance with Section 2.2(b) is greater than the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, then the Sellers shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) pay to Buyer the absolute value of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.2, the parties agree that the reconciliation amounts due from Buyer to the Sellers and from the Sellers to Buyer pursuant

to Section 2.2(c) hereof shall be aggregated and offset one against the other such that only Buyer, on the one hand, or the Sellers, on the other hand, shall be required to make one payment to the other party hereunder.

Section 2.3 Closing.

(a) The purchase and sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held on the later of (i) the second Business Day following the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of those conditions) at the Detroit offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ LLP, and (ii) the date set, at Buyer’s option, to a date no later than forty-five (45) calendar days following the date of this Agreement, or (ii) another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by Buyer and the Company.

As of the date of this Agreement, the Financing Commitment has not been amended or modified, and the commitment contained in the Financing Commitment has not been withdrawn or rescinded and, to the Knowledge of Buyer, no such amendment, modification, withdrawal or rescission is contemplated as of the date of this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, the Financing Commitment is in full force and effect, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer and, to the Knowledge of Buyer, the lender party thereto and is enforceable against Buyer and, to the Knowledge of Buyer, the lender party thereto in accordance with its terms (except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity).

Section 5.8 Investment Purpose.

Buyer is acquiring the Shares solely for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Buyer acknowledges that the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and that the Shares may not be transferred or sold except pursuant to the registration provisions of the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom and subject to state securities laws and regulations, as applicable. Buyer is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Shares for an indefinite period (including total loss of its investment), and has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of its investment.

Section 5.9 Solvency.

Assuming (a) satisfaction of the conditions to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Share Purchase, (b) accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in ARTICLE 3 and ARTICLE 4 (for such purposes, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects), and (c) that all estimates, projections and forecasts of the Transferred Companies provided to Buyer were prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that were and continue to be reasonable, immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Share Purchase, the Financing, the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price, any repayment of existing Indebtedness contemplated by this Agreement or the Financing Commitment, and the payment of all related fees and expenses), Buyer will be Solvent. No transfer of property is being made and no obligation is being incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the closing of any financing to be obtained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in order to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Buyer. “Solvent” means that, as of any date of determination and with respect to any Person: (i) the fair value of the assets of such Person and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of such Person and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, (ii) the present fair saleable value of the assets of such Person and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis,

is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Person and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, on their debts and liabilities as they become absolute and matured, (iii) such Person and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not engaged in business or a transaction, and are not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which such Person’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets, on a consolidated basis, would constitute unreasonably small capital, and (iv) such Person and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur debts or liabilities beyond their ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature; provided, however, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability (irrespective of whether such contingent liabilities meet the criteria for accrual under Accounting Standards Codification 450 – Contingencies).

Section 5.10 No Other Representations or Warranties.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any schedule or certificate delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, none of any Seller, any Transferred Company, or any stockholder, director, officer or employee of any Transferred Company makes or has made any representation or warranty concerning the Transferred Companies, the stockholders, directors, officers or employees of the Transferred Companies or any of their respective assets or properties or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that all projections, budgets, forecasts and other forward looking information provided to Buyer by or on behalf of the Sellers or of the Transferred Companies are not representations or warranties of the Sellers and are subject to uncertainties and that actual results may be different from such projections, budgets, forecasts and other forward looking information.

Section 5.11 Brokers.

Except for ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ and Company, the fees of which will be paid by Buyer, no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated hereby based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Buyer.

Within ten (10) calendar days after the Indemnitee receives written notice of any claim by a third party with respect the Indemnification Matter or, if the Indemnification Matter does not involve a third‑party action, suit, claim or demand, within ten (10) calendar days after the Indemnitee first has actual knowledge of the Indemnification Matter or of other matters from which an Indemnification Matter is reasonably likely to result, the Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Indemnitor of the nature of the Indemnification Matter and the amount demanded or claimed in connection therewith (“Indemnification Notice”), together with copies of any available written documents relating to such Indemnification Matter.

So long as the Indemnitor is contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnitee shall not pay or settle any such claim; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim at any time; provided, that in such event, the Indemnitee shall waive any right of indemnification

therefor by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor does not make a timely election to undertake the good faith defense or settlement of the claim as aforesaid, or if the Indemnitor fails to proceed with the good faith defense or settlement of the matter after making such election, then, in either such event, the Indemnitee shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim at its exclusive discretion, retaining its right to seek indemnification from Indemnitor. In addition, if an Indemnitee (a) determines in good faith that a Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect it or any of its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, or (b) in the good faith opinion of counsel of such party concludes that there are defenses available to it that may be unavailable to, or inconsistent with or contrary to the interests of the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee may, by notice to the Indemnitor, retain the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, retaining its right to seek indemnification from Indemnitor. In any event, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall fully cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, including by furnishing all available documentary or other evidence as is reasonably requested by the other party.

(c) Payments. All amounts owed by the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee (if any) shall be paid in full within ten (10) Business Days upon the earlier to occur of (i) a final settlement or agreement as to the amount owed is agreed and executed (unless otherwise provided in such final settlement or agreement) or (ii) a final, nonappealable judgment has been rendered pursuant to Section 10.11 hereof requiring such indemnification payment.

Section 9.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties, and all covenants and agreements to be performed prior to Closing shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the Closing hereunder until the close of business on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that (i) the Fundamental Representations shall survive indefinitely, (ii) Section 3.17 (Taxes) shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for the applicable underlying claim, including any extensions or waivers thereof, and (iii) the covenants of the parties to be performed after the Closing Date survive sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for the applicable underlying claim or for such length of time as are indicated by their respective terms. Any claims in connection with fraud shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any breach of a representation or warranty or covenant shall survive the time it would otherwise terminate if notice of such breach is given to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to the time of such expiration.

Section 9.5 Limits on Indemnification.

Subject to Section 9.6, the Sellers’ liability under Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(b) (provided that this shall not affect Sellers’ obligations under Section 10.13 (specific performance)), and Section 9.1(e) through Section 9.1(g), and the Buyer’s liability under Section 9.2(a) and Section 9.2(b) (provided that this shall not affect Buyer’s obligations under Section 10.13 (specific performance)) shall be limited as follows:

(a) Basket. No amount shall be payable for Losses by the Seller Group, on the one hand, or the Buyer Group, on the other hand, as an Indemnitor unless and until the aggregate

amount otherwise payable by the Indemnitor under Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(b) (provided that this shall not affect Sellers’ obligations under Section 10.13 (specific performance)) and Section 9.1(e) through Section 9.1(g) or Section 9.2(a) and Section 9.2(b) (provided that this shall not affect Buyer’s obligations under Section 10.13 (specific performance)), as applicable, exceeds Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) (the “Basket”), in which event the Indemnitor shall pay only those amounts in excess of the Basket.

(b) Ceiling. The maximum liability of the Sellers under Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(b) and Section 9.1(e) through Section 9.1(g) and Buyer under Section 9.2(a) for Losses shall not exceed, in each case, Seventy Million Dollars ($70,000,000) (collectively, the “Ceiling”).

Section 9.6 Exceptions to Limitations.

Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 9.5 hereof, neither the Basket nor the Ceiling shall apply in the case of any Indemnification Matter which arises out of, relates to, or involves Losses incurred due to a breach of (i) the Fundamental Representations, or (ii) the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under Section 9.1(c) (Taxes) and Section 9.1(d) (Transaction Expenses; Change of Control Payments).

Section 9.7 Mitigation.

Each party shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate and otherwise minimize the Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event that would be reasonably expected to give rise to any Indemnification Matter.

Section 9.8 Exclusive Remedy.

Buyer and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that, except for the right to seek specific performance specifically set forth in Section 10.13, and the remedies provided in Section 2.2 to address disputes or objections to the calculations and adjustments described therein or as otherwise specifically provided herein, the foregoing indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE 9 shall be the exclusive remedy for monetary damages of Buyer and the Sellers with respect to this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall prevent a party from seeking injunctive relief or specific performance pursuant to Section 10.13.

Section 9.9 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments.

The parties agree to treat any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the final Purchase Price, unless a “Final Determination” with respect to the indemnified party or any of its Affiliates causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. For purposes of this agreement “Final Determination” means (i) with respect to federal income Taxes, a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or execution of an IRS Form 870‑AD and (ii) with respect to Taxes other than federal income Taxes, any final determination of liability in respect of a Tax that, under applicable law, is not subject to further appeal, review or modification through proceedings or otherwise (including the expiration of a statute of limitations or a period for the filing of claims for refunds, amended returns or appeals from adverse determinations).

Section 9.10 Calculation of Losses.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of determining the amount of any Losses that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Basket shall be the aggregate materiality standards for all purposes hereunder and, therefore, each representation, warranty and other provision contained in this Agreement or in any Exhibit, Schedule or certificate delivered hereunder shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard or qualification contained in such representation or warranty (as if such standard or qualification were deleted from such representation and warranty) (other than in Section 3.7, but not disregarding any reference to “materiality” contained in such representation or warranty). In addition, for purposes of calculating Losses hereunder:

(a) the amount of any Losses hereunder will be reduced by the amount of any accrual or reserve (in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice and GAAP (taking into account, without limitation, applicable rules regarding the proper timing for inclusion of items)) reflected on the financial statements of the Transferred Companies as of the Closing Date;

(b) no party shall be entitled to recover Losses in respect of any claim or otherwise obtain reimbursement or restitution more than once with respect to any claim hereunder - without limiting the foregoing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Losses as a result of, or based upon or arising from, any claim or liability to the extent such claim or liability is taken into account in determining the amount of any adjustment to the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.2;

(c) if Indemnitor makes any indemnification payment pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 or otherwise by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby under any theory of recovery, Indemnitor shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment and to the extent permitted by law, to any rights and remedies of the Indemnitee to recoup amounts paid from third parties with respect to the matters giving rise to indemnification hereunder;

(d) the amount of any and all Losses under this ARTICLE 9 shall be determined net of any amounts recovered by Indemnitee under the insurance policies, indemnities or other reimbursement arrangements of the Transferred Companies with respect to such Losses (calculated net of any deductibles, co-payments, increase in insurance premiums or other payment obligations (including attorneys’ fees and other costs of collection) resulting from the related claims under applicable insurance policies); and

(e) The amount of any Loss claimed by an Indemnitee hereunder shall be reduced to the extent of any Tax savings or benefits realized by the Indemnitee that is attributable to any deduction, loss, credit or other Tax benefit resulting from or arising out of such Loss. The Indemnitee shall be deemed to realize, with respect to any taxable year, a Tax benefit (“Tax Benefit”) attributable to a Loss if, and to the extent that, the Indemnitee’s cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by excluding any Tax items attributable to the Loss from all taxable years, exceeds the Indemnitee’s cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributable to the Loss for all taxable years.

(f) In no event will any party be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of consequential, incidental or indirect damages, lost profits or punitive damages and, in particular, no “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or similar valuation methodology shall be used in calculating the amount of any Losses.

Section 9.11 Trustee Exculpation.

Buyer acknowledges that all trustees, co-trustees, special trustees (or their designees) (the “Trustees”) of the Sellers that are trusts (the “Seller Trusts”), are executing this Agreement on behalf of such trusts, (b) the Trustees have executed this Agreement solely as Trustees of the applicable Seller Trusts in the exercise of the power and authority conferred upon and vested in such Trustees pursuant to the applicable Seller Trusts, and (c) nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any liability on any Trustee personally to perform or pay any express or implied covenant, condition or obligation of any Seller under this Agreement, including any indemnification obligation. Buyer, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Buyer Group (i) expressly waives all such personal liabilities of the Trustees, and (ii) affirms that it will not assert in any fashion any claim personally against any Trustee.

ARTICLE 10.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such

right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder.

Section 10.5 Interpretation.

When reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, paragraph, clause, Exhibit or Disclosure Schedule such reference shall be to an Article, Section, paragraph, clause, Exhibit or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All words used in this Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances requires. Any capitalized terms used in any Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning set forth in this Agreement. The word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will mean “including, without limitation” unless otherwise specified. The words “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “or” is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. The words “assets” and “properties” shall be deemed to have the same meaning, and to refer to all assets and properties, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible.

Items referred to in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been “made available” to Buyer if they have been posted to the Data Room. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty nor the disclosure of a document or in a schedule comprising part of the Disclosure Schedules is intended, or shall be construed or offered in any dispute between the parties as evidence of, the materiality of such dollar amount, document or information, nor does it establish any standard of materiality upon which to judge the inclusion or omission of any similar documents or information in that schedule or any other Disclosure Schedule. The information contained in this Agreement and the Disclosure Schedules is disclosed solely for the purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission of any matter whatsoever, including of any violation of Law or breach of any contract. An exception or qualification set forth in the Disclosure Schedules with respect to a particular representation or warranty shall be deemed to be an exception or qualification with respect to all other applicable representations and warranties to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other Disclosure Schedule, whether or not such exception or qualification is so numbered or such other representations and warranties expressly refer to a schedule.

Section 10.7 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Appointment. Each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ as the sole and exclusive agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for such Seller for all purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, with full and exclusive power and authority to act on such Seller’s behalf (the “Sellers’ Representative”).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative is hereby authorized, on behalf of the Sellers, in his sole discretion, to:

The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts that it reasonably determines to be experienced in the matter at issue, and will not be liable to any Seller for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith based on such advice. The Sellers’ Representative shall have no liability to Buyer or the Buyer Group with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken in his capacity as the Sellers’ Representative.

(c) Reliance on Appointment; Successor Sellers’ Representative. Buyer and members of the Buyer Group may rely on the appointment and authority of the Sellers’ Representative granted pursuant to this Section 10.7. In so doing, Buyer and members of the Buyer

Group may rely on any and all actions taken by and decisions of the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among any Seller or the Sellers’ Representative with respect to any such action or decision without any liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any Seller, the Sellers’ Representative or any other Person. Any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative shall constitute a decision of all the Sellers and shall be final and binding upon each Seller. The Sellers’ Representative may resign at any time upon written notice to each of the Sellers. In the event that the Sellers’ Representative resigns or is otherwise unable to serve, Sellers may remove and designate a successor Sellers’ Representative by a written instrument that is signed in writing by holders of at least a majority-in-interest of Sellers; provided, that such successor Sellers’ Representative expressly assumes in writing the obligations of the Sellers’ Representative hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding the Section 10.9(a), following the Effective Time, the provisions of Section 6.10 shall be enforceable as provided therein.

Section 10.10 Governing Law.

(b) Waivers. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (c) that (i) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Action is improper, or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 10.13 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or otherwise breach such provisions and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for such damages.

(b) Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (i) it has an adequate remedy at law, or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Section 10.15 Severability.

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as either the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or such party waives its rights under this Section with respect thereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, 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 to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SHARE PURCHASE OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
