The Initial Closing Statement shall be prepared in good faith in accordance with the Accounting Principles and this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the purpose of preparing the Initial Closing Statement and the Final Closing Statement is to measure the amount of Working Capital, Cash and Indebtedness, in each case as of the Effective Time and in accordance with the Accounting Principles, and such process is not intended to permit rectification of any errors or omissions in the Business Financial Statements or introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of determining such amounts.

-17-

(b) Following the date that the Initial Closing Statement is delivered through the date that the Initial Closing Statement has become final and binding in accordance with Section 2.6(c), the Sellers and their Affiliates and representatives shall be permitted to access and review the books, records and work papers of the Transferred Entities and Purchaser that are reasonably related to the calculations of Working Capital and Net Indebtedness, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entities) and its and their respective employees, accountants and other representatives to, reasonably cooperate with and assist the Sellers and their Affiliates and representatives in connection with such review, including by providing access to such books, records and work papers and making available personnel to the extent requested, in each case, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours.

(c) Purchaser agrees that, following the Closing through the date that the Initial Closing Statement becomes final and binding in accordance with Section 2.6(c), it will not unless otherwise required by Law take or permit to be taken any actions with respect to any accounting books, records, policies or procedures on which the Business Financial Statements or the Initial Closing Statement are based, or on which the Final Closing Statement is to be based, that are inconsistent with the Accounting Principles or that would impede or delay the determination of the amount of Working Capital or Net Indebtedness or the preparation of any Notice of Disagreement or the Final Closing Statement in the manner and utilizing the methods provided by this Agreement.

Section 2.6 Reconciliation of Initial Closing Statement.

(a) Parent shall notify Purchaser in writing no later than forty-five (45) days after Parent’s receipt of the Initial Closing Statement if Parent disagrees with the Initial Closing Statement, which notice shall describe the basis for such disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”). If no Notice of Disagreement is delivered to Purchaser within such forty-five (45) day period, then the Initial Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties in accordance with Section 2.6(c). If a Notice of Disagreement is delivered to Purchaser within such forty-five (45) day period, then only such portions of the Initial Closing Statement that Parent does not identify or disagree with in the Notice of Disagreement shall become final and binding upon the parties in accordance with Section 2.6(c).

(b) During the thirty (30) days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement (the “Resolution Period”), Parent and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement.

Each of Parent and Purchaser shall submit to the Independent Accounting Firm (with a copy delivered to the other party on the same day), within ten (10) Business Days after the Independent Accounting Firm’s selection, a memorandum (which may include supporting exhibits) setting forth its respective position on any disputed items. Within thirty (30) days after the Independent Accounting Firm’s selection, the Independent Accounting Firm shall make a final determination in accordance with the Accounting Principles and other terms and provisions of this Agreement, not by independent review and based solely on the written submissions of the parties, to the extent in line with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, binding on the parties to this Agreement, of the appropriate amount of each of the matters that remain in dispute. With respect to each disputed matter, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Parent or Purchaser, shall not be in excess of the higher, or less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Parent in the Notice of Disagreement or by Purchaser in the Initial Closing Statement with respect to such disputed matter. The Independent Accounting Firm shall not review or make any determination with respect to any matter other than the matters that remain in dispute to the extent indicated in the Notice of Disagreement and shall not consider any events or developments that occurred after the Closing. The Initial Closing Statement, as finally determined either through agreement of the parties pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or Section 2.6(b) or through the action of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.6(c), shall be the “Final Closing Statement.”

(d) All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Parent on the one hand, and Purchaser on the other hand. During the review by the Independent Accounting Firm, each of Purchaser and Parent shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries (including, in the case of Purchaser, the Transferred Entities) and its and their respective employees, accountants and other representatives to, each make available to the Independent Accounting Firm interviews with such personnel, and such information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably requested by the Independent Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.6(c); provided, that the accountants of Parent or Purchaser shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Independent Accounting Firm, except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such Independent Accounting Firm has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers. In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

(e) The process set forth in Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties and their respective Affiliates for any disputes related to the Closing Adjustments, the Post-Closing Adjustment, and the calculations and amounts on which they are based or set forth in the related statements and notices delivered in connection therewith, whether or not the underlying facts and circumstances constitute a breach of any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement.

-19-

Section 2.7 Post-Closing Adjustment. The “Post-Closing Adjustment” may be either a positive or negative amount, and shall be equal to (a) (i) the Final Working Capital Adjustment Amount minus (ii) the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment Amount, plus (b) (x) the amount of Net Indebtedness set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement minus (y) the amount of Net Indebtedness set forth in the Final Closing Statement. Any of clause (a) or clause (b) set forth in the preceding sentence may be either a positive or a negative amount. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive amount, then Purchaser shall pay in cash to Parent (or one or more Affiliates designated by Parent) the absolute value of the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative amount, then Parent (or an Affiliate designated by Parent) shall pay in cash to Purchaser the absolute value of the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment. The Closing Purchase Price, as adjusted by the Post-Closing Adjustment, shall be the “Final Purchase Price.” Any such payment pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Statement to an account designated in writing by the party entitled to the payment within three (3) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Statement.

(a) The transfer of each Transferred Company organized in a jurisdiction in which local Laws require specified formalities or other procedures to be observed to legally effect a transfer of such Transferred Company shall be effected pursuant to short-form acquisition agreements (the “Local Share Transfer Agreements”) on a country-by-country basis; provided, in each case, that the Local Share Transfer Agreements shall serve purely to effect the legal transfer of the applicable Transferred Company and shall not have any effect on the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the allocation of assets and Liabilities as between the parties, all of which shall be determined by this Agreement, or in any way modify, amend or constitute a waiver of, any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Thereafter, each such Deferred Transferred Company shall be transferred to Purchaser (or its designated Subsidiary) on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the receipt, satisfaction or waiver of such Deferred Closing Governmental Approvals (a “Deferred Closing” and such date, a “Deferred Closing Date”) with respect to such Deferred Transferred Company. In no event shall the Closing Purchase Price payable by Purchaser at the Closing or the Final Purchase Price be reduced or deferred in respect of any Deferred Transferred Company or any Subsidiary thereof; provided, that the Cash, Indebtedness and Working Capital of any Deferred Transferred Companies and any Subsidiary thereof will be included in determining the Closing Adjustments and the Post-Closing Adjustments as of the Effective Time pursuant to Sections 2.4 through 2.7.

Section 2.9 Withholding Rights. Purchaser, the Transferred Companies and their Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Purchaser and its designees are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided, however, that if Purchaser and its Affiliates or its designee determine that any deduction or withholding is required under an applicable Tax Law in respect of a payment or other consideration otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser and its Affiliates or its designee, as applicable, shall provide written notice to Parent no less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the date on which such deduction or withholding is to be made, and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to mitigate any such requirement to the maximum extent permitted by Law; provided further, however, that if no less than one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which such deduction or withholding is to be made Parent provides Purchaser with written tax advice (including e-mail) from a nationally recognized accounting or law firm that it is more likely than not that no withholding or deduction is required by such applicable Tax Law (or that a lesser amount of withholding or deduction is so required) and Parent agrees to indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates and its designees from any resulting Taxes imposed on Purchaser and its Affiliates and its designees, then Purchaser and its Affiliates and its designees shall not be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement (or shall only be entitled to withhold or deduct such lesser amount). Notwithstanding any other provision, in the event that Parent is required to indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates and its designees from any Taxes imposed on Purchaser and its Affiliates and its designees pursuant to this Section 2.9, Parent shall have the sole right to control any Tax Proceeding with respect to such Taxes, and Purchaser shall not take any position on any Tax Return or in any Tax Proceeding inconsistent with such written tax advice provided by Parent pursuant to this Section 2.9 except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of applicable state, local or foreign Law). To the extent that amounts are withheld as provided by the above provisions of this Section 2.9 and paid over to the proper taxing authority, such withheld and deducted amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Purchaser and its Affiliates or its designee, as applicable, shall furnish to such Person within five (5) Business Days of such payment the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Tax authority evidencing such payment.

(d) Except as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letters, there are no conditions precedent to the obligations of the Lenders and the Equity Investors to provide the Financing or any contingencies that would permit the Lenders or the Equity Investors to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Financing below the amount necessary to fund the Financing Amounts, including any condition or other contingency relating to the amount or availability of the Debt Financing pursuant to any “flex” provision. Purchaser does not have any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis all terms and conditions to be satisfied by it in any of the Commitment Letters on or prior to the Closing Date, nor does Purchaser have knowledge that any Lender or Equity Investor will not perform its obligations thereunder. There are no side letters, understandings or other agreements, contracts or arrangements of any kind relating to the Commitment Letters that could affect the conditionality, enforceability, availability, termination or aggregate principal amount of the Financing necessary to fund the Financing Amounts.

The Commitment Letters have not been modified, amended or altered and none of the respective commitments thereunder have been terminated, reduced, withdrawn or rescinded in any respect, and, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, no termination, reduction, withdrawal or rescission thereof is contemplated. No modification or amendment to the Commitment Letters is currently contemplated.

-37-

(g) Without prejudice to Section 11.11(b), in no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including the Financing) by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any other financing or other transactions be a condition to any of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement.

As of the Closing, after giving effect to any indebtedness being incurred on such date in connection herewith, and assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a), Purchaser and the Transferred Entities, taken as a whole, will not (a) be insolvent (either because their financial condition is such that the sum of their debts (including a reasonable estimate of the amount of all contingent liabilities) is greater than the fair value of their assets, or because the present fair saleable value of their assets will be less than the amount required to pay its probable liability on their debts as they become absolute and matured), (b) have unreasonably small capital with which to engage in its business or (c) have incurred or plan to incur debts beyond their ability to pay as they become absolute and matured.

(c) Without limiting Section 5.9(a) or Section 5.9(b) in any respect, Purchaser (in the case of any Parent Guarantee) and Parent (in the case of any Transferred Entity Guarantee) shall use its reasonable best efforts, at its sole expense, to cause itself or its Subsidiaries to be substituted in all respects for the Guarantee Indemnified Party, and for the Guarantee Indemnified Party to be released, effective as of the Closing, in respect of, or otherwise terminate (and cause the Guarantee Indemnified Party to be released in respect of), all obligations of the Guarantee Indemnified Party under each Parent Guarantee or Transferred Entity Guarantee set forth on Section 5.9(c) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, as applicable (including, in each case, by delivering at Closing (i) executed agreements to assume reimbursement obligations for such Guarantees, (ii) executed instruments of guaranty, letters of credit or other documents requested by any banks, customers or other counterparties with respect to such Guarantees, and (iii) any other documents reasonably requested by Parent (in the case of any Parent Guarantee) or Purchaser (in the case of any Transferred Entity Guarantee) in connection with such party’s obligations under this Section 5.9).

For any Guarantees for which Purchaser or any Transferred Entity (in the case of a Parent Guarantee) or Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (in the case of a Transferred Entity Guarantee), as applicable, is not substituted in all respects for the Guarantee Indemnified Party (or for which the Guarantee Indemnified Party is not released) effective as of the Closing and that cannot otherwise be terminated effective as of the Closing (with the Guarantee Indemnified Party to be released in respect thereof), each of Purchaser (in the case of a Parent Guarantee) and Parent (in the case of a Transferred Entity Guarantee), shall continue to use its best efforts and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use their best efforts to effect such substitution or termination and release after the Closing.

(c) All payments and reimbursements by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.10 will be made within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of an invoice therefor from Parent or its applicable Subsidiaries.

Section 5.15 Financing.

(a) Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain Financing sufficient to fund the Financing Amounts on or prior to the date upon which the Sale is required to be consummated pursuant to the terms hereof. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the proceeds of the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters as promptly as possible but in any event prior to the date upon which the Sale is required to be consummated pursuant to the terms hereof, including by (i) maintaining in effect the Commitment Letters, (ii) negotiating and entering into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing (the “Definitive Agreements”) consistent with the terms and conditions contained therein (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in any related fee letter) and (iii) satisfying on a timely basis all conditions in the Commitment Letters and the Definitive Agreements and complying with its obligations thereunder. Purchaser shall comply with its obligations under the Commitment Letters and Definitive Agreements in a timely and diligent manner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that all conditions contained in the Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements (other than the consummation of the Sale and, with respect to the Debt Financing, the availability of the Equity Financing) have been satisfied, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Lenders and Equity Investors to comply with their respective obligations thereunder, including to fund the Financing.

(b) Purchaser shall not without the prior written consent of Parent: (i) permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements if such amendment, modification, waiver or remedy (A) adds new (or adversely modifies any existing) conditions to the consummation of all or any portion of the Financing, (B) reduces the aggregate principal amount of the Financing, (C) adversely affects the ability of Purchaser to enforce its rights against other parties to the Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, relative to the ability of Purchaser to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letters as in effect on the date hereof or (D) could otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (ii) terminate the Commitment Letters or any Definitive Agreement. Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Parent copies of any such amendment, modification, waiver or replacement.

(c) In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor, Purchaser will, prior to the occurrence of the Outside Date, (i) use reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative debt financing (in an amount sufficient, when taken together with the available portion of the Financing, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay the Financing Amounts) from the same or other sources and (ii) promptly notify Parent of such unavailability and the reason therefor. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Debt Commitment Letters” shall be deemed to include any commitment letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any alternative debt financing arranged in compliance herewith and the term “Debt Financing” shall be deemed to include any alternative debt financing obtained in compliance herewith. Purchaser shall provide Parent with prompt written notice of any actual or threatened breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letters or any Definitive Agreement that could reasonably be expected to result in the Financing not being available in an amount necessary to fund the Financing Amounts and a copy of any written notice or other written communication from any Lender, Equity Investor or other financing source with respect to any actual or threatened breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letters or any Definitive Agreement of any provision thereof that could reasonably be expected to result in the Financing not being available in an amount necessary to fund the Financing Amounts. Upon written request from Parent, Purchaser shall inform Parent in reasonable detail on the status of its efforts to consummate the Financing. The foregoing notwithstanding, compliance by Purchaser with this Section 5.15 shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whether or not the Financing is available, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.11(b).

-56-

(d) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall use its reasonable efforts to provide, and to cause its Subsidiaries to provide, all cooperation reasonably requested by Purchaser in writing necessary to obtain the Debt Financing (provided, that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Parent or any of its Affiliates), including using reasonable efforts: (A) to furnish to Purchaser customary instruments, as reasonably required by the Financing Entities, relating to the release of guarantees incurred, and Liens granted, by the Transferred Entities in respect of any existing indebtedness of the Transferred Entities under the Parent Credit Agreement and Parent Notes, which shall not be operative until the Closing, (B) to furnish Purchaser and its financing sources with information necessary to prepare any pro forma financial statements required to satisfy paragraph 2 of Annex II of the Debt Commitment Letter and (C) to furnish to Purchaser information of the Transferred Entities in connection with preparing schedules, certificates and other financing documentation necessary to obtain the Debt Financing and reasonably requested by Purchaser. The foregoing notwithstanding, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to take or permit the taking of any action pursuant to this Section 5.15: (i) that would require Parent, the Transferred Entities or any of Parent’s or Transferred Entities’ respective Affiliates or any persons who are officers or directors of such entities (other than such officers or directors who are Business Employees that will remain officers or directors of the Transferred Entities after the Closing) to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Debt Financing or enter into, execute or deliver any certificate, document, opinion, instrument or agreement or agree to any change or modification of any existing certificate, document, instrument or agreement, (ii) that would cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached by Parent or any of its Affiliates, (iii) that would require Parent or any of its Affiliates to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other expense, liability or obligation in connection with the Debt Financing, (iv) that would cause any director, officer, employee or stockholder of Parent or any of its Affiliates to incur any personal liability, (v) that would conflict with the organizational documents of Parent or any of its Affiliates or any Laws, (vi) that would reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of, or a default (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) under, any Contract to which Parent or any of its Affiliates is a party, (vii) to provide access to or disclose information that Parent or any of its Affiliates determines would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege of Parent or any of its Affiliates, or (viii) to prepare any financial statements or information that are not available to it and prepared in the ordinary course of its financial reporting practice (it being agreed that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates will have any obligation to prepare pro forma financial information or post-closing financial information). Nothing contained in this Section 5.15 or otherwise shall require (x) Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Entities) to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing or (y) any Transferred Entity to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall, promptly upon request by Parent, reimburse Parent or any of its Affiliates for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by them or their respective representatives in connection with such cooperation and shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates and their respective representatives from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, any action taken by them at the request of Purchaser or its representatives pursuant to this Section 5.15 and any information used in connection therewith, in each case except to the extent such losses are suffered or incurred as a result of any such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as applicable. Parent and the Transferred Entities agree to (x) provide prior to Closing the historical financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph 2 of Annex II of the Debt Commitment Letter (the “Required Financial Information”) and (y) use reasonable best efforts to update any Required Financial Information provided to Purchaser from time to time as may be necessary so that such Required Financial Information is, and continues to remain, Compliant through the Closing Date.

-57-

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Section 5.15 represent the sole obligation of Parent and its Subsidiaries with respect to cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Financing to be obtained by Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Local Share Transfer Agreements, and no other provision of this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto), the Ancillary Agreements or the Local Share Transfer Agreements shall be deemed to expand or modify such obligations. In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including the Financing) by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any other financing or other transactions be a condition to any of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement.

(f) All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding Parent or any of its Affiliates obtained by Purchaser or its representatives pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that Purchaser shall be permitted to disclose information as necessary and consistent with customary practices in connection with the Financing subject to customary confidentiality arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Parent or in the manner contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter. Parent hereby consents to the use of the Transferred Entities’ logos in connection with the Financing.

Section 5.16 R&W Insurance Policy. In the event that Purchaser or any of its Affiliates procures an insurance policy with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, any such policy shall include a provision whereby the insurer(s) expressly waives, and irrevocably agrees not to pursue, directly or indirectly, any subrogation rights against Parent or any of its Affiliates, or any former shareholders, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of any of the foregoing with respect to any claim made by any insured thereunder (and such Persons shall be express third-party beneficiaries of such provision), and the subrogation provisions therein may not be amended or waived in any manner that is adverse to Parent or any of its Affiliates without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Parent). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Parent’s obligations or liability under Article X be expanded or increased as a result of any failure by Purchaser or its Affiliates to obtain a representation and warranty insurance policy or, if obtained, any of the terms or conditions thereof.

(a) For not less than six (6) years from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser and the Transferred Companies shall, and shall cause the Transferred Entities to, indemnify and hold harmless all current and former officers, directors, partners, members, managers or employees of the Transferred Entities (or their respective predecessors) (collectively, the “D&O Indemnitees”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any actual or threatened claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each D&O Indemnitee to the extent permitted by applicable Law; provided that such D&O Indemnitee agrees in advance to return any such funds to which a court of competent jurisdiction has determined in a final, nonappealable judgment such D&O Indemnitee is not ultimately entitled), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, investigation, suit or proceeding in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Sale or the other transactions contemplated hereby), in connection with such Persons serving as an officer, director, employee, agent or other fiduciary of any Transferred Entity or of any Person if such service was at the request or for the benefit of any of the Transferred Entities, to the extent permitted by Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any D&O Indemnitee notifies Purchaser on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date of a matter in respect of which such Person may seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.17(a), the provisions of this Section 5.17(a) shall continue in effect with respect to such matter until the final disposition of all claims, actions, investigations, suits and proceedings relating thereto.

(b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser and the Transferred Companies shall and shall cause the Transferred Entities to take any necessary actions to provide that all rights to indemnification and all limitations on liability existing in favor of any D&O Indemnitees, as provided in (i) the organizational documents of the Transferred Entities in effect on the date of this Agreement or (ii) any agreement providing for indemnification by any Transferred Entity of any of the D&O Indemnitees in effect on the date of this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue in full force and effect and be honored by the Transferred Entities.

(c) In the event that after Closing any Transferred Entity, Purchaser or any of their respective 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 a majority of their respective properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of such Transferred Entity or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall succeed to or assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.17.

-59-

(d) The obligations of Purchaser and the Transferred Companies under this Section 5.17 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any indemnitee to whom this Section 5.17 applies without the express written consent of such affected indemnitee (it being expressly agreed that the indemnitees to whom this Section 5.17 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.17).

Section 5.18 Resignations. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver any resignations, effective as of and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing (other than with respect to any Deferred Transferred Companies or any Subsidiary thereof, which shall be effective as of and contingent upon the occurrence of the applicable Deferred Closing), of the directors, managers and officers of the Transferred Entities that are requested by Purchaser no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or Deferred Closing Date, as applicable).

Section 5.19 Pre-Closing Restructuring. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the transfer (by distribution or otherwise) by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any cash or cash equivalents prior to the Effective Time, and (b) Parent and its Subsidiaries have taken or shall take the actions set forth on Section 5.19 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule to implement the structure set forth on Section 5.19 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule (such structure, the “Closing Structure” and, such actions set forth on Section 5.19 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, the “Pre-Closing Restructuring”). Parent shall be entitled to modify or amend the Closing Structure or the Pre-Closing Restructuring only with the prior written consent of Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Parent shall provide Purchaser an opportunity to review any agreements, resolutions, formation documents and other instruments that are prepared to effectuate the Pre-Closing Restructuring and shall consider in good faith any comments Purchaser may have thereon; provided, however, that Purchaser’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for any such document and instrument that would reasonably be expected to impose any Liability or substantive restrictions on any Transferred Entity that will not be discharged or terminated prior to Closing; provided, further, that Purchaser may not require Parent to change the steps contemplated by the Pre-Closing Restructuring.

Section 5.20 Real Estate Sublease. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) obtain any landlord consent required for Parent or its applicable Subsidiary, on the one hand, and a Transferred Entity, on the other hand, to enter into a sublease substantially consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit B (the “Sublease”), and (ii) subject to obtaining any such required landlord consents, cause such Sublease to be entered into effective at or prior to Closing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Parent or its Subsidiaries from taking or failing to take any action, including the establishment of any policy, procedure or protocol, reasonably in response to any COVID-19 Measures following reasonable consultation with Purchaser, and no such action or omission shall be deemed to violate or breach this Agreement or to cause any of the conditions to Closing to fail to be satisfied.

Section 5.22 SMAC Business. At the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause SMAC to, assign, transfer, and convey to a Purchaser or its designee, all of the rights, obligations, title and interest of Parent and SMAC in, to and under the SMAC Business (subject, in the case of any security interest in respect of the SMAC Loans, to having first obtained any required SMC Third Party Consent), and Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, accept such assignment, transfer, and conveyance and assume, undertake and agree to pay, satisfy, perform and discharge in full, as and when due, all obligations and liabilities of any kind arising out of, or required to be performed under, the SMAC Business (such assignment and assumption, the “SMAC Business Transfer”). In furtherance of the foregoing, from the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to obtain any consents from third parties required to cause the SMAC Loans to be secured for the benefit of Purchaser or its designee in a manner consistent in all material respects with the security interests granted for the benefit of SMAC to secure the SMAC Loans prior to the Closing (such consents, collectively, the “SMAC Third Party Consents”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to make any payments or other concession, or incur any other Liability, or commence or participate in any Action, to obtain any consents of third parties (including the SMAC Third Party Consents) or effect any of the transfers or arrangements contemplated by this Section 5.22, and the failure to receive any such consents or to effect any such transfers or arrangements shall not be taken into account in determining whether any condition to the Closing set forth in Article VIII shall have been satisfied.

Section 5.23 Franchise Matters.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, during the period from the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement, Parent and its Subsidiaries may (x) provide any prospective or renewing franchisees of the Business with information concerning the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether in amended franchise disclosure documents, supplemental notifications to a franchise disclosure documents, or in a different format otherwise in compliance with applicable Law, or (y) unless otherwise exempt under applicable Law, make filings with Governmental Entities to amend franchise disclosure documents relating to the Business to provide information concerning the Sale, the identity of the Purchaser and its Affiliates and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in the case of each of the forgoing clauses (x) or (y), as Parent deems reasonably necessary or advisable to comply with Law or to reduce the risk of claims or Liabilities from such franchisee for rescission, nondisclosure, violation of Law or otherwise, provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to review each such disclosure for accuracy and completeness prior to the making of any such disclosure hereunder and Purchaser’s prior written consent shall be required, which consent may not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or denied by Purchaser, if any such disclosure contains any confidential or proprietary information of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or, if Purchaser reasonably determines the disclosure could increase the risk Purchaser or its Affiliates will be subject to claims under state or federal franchise Laws after Closing. Until any such filings, notifications and documents referred to in the foregoing sentence are made, if applicable, and accepted or deemed effective by the applicable Governmental Entities and, if applicable, the date on which any disclosure waiting periods required under applicable Law are satisfied, Parent and its Subsidiaries may delay or suspend franchise sales and offers to prospective or renewing franchisees of the Business unless Parent determines that there is a commercially reasonable alternative which is proposed by Purchaser and is compliant with applicable Law so as to avoid the necessity for any such filings, notifications or documents.

-61-

(b) Promptly following the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, amend (including, if applicable, by making any required filings with Governmental Entities to effectuate such amendment) any franchise disclosure documents of the Transferred Entities that are being used or are in effect to remove Parent and all other members of the Parent Group as the guarantor under any guarantee of performance or other obligations contemplated by such documents, and shall cease and refrain from making any franchise sales or offers to prospective or renewing franchisees until such amendments are made and, if applicable, accepted or deemed effective by the applicable Governmental Entities and, if applicable, the date on which any disclosure waiting periods required under applicable Law are satisfied.

(c) From and after the Closing, Purchaser and the Transferred Entities, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Parent Group against any Liabilities that the members of the Parent Group suffer, incur or are liable for by reason of or arising out of or in consequence of (i) any member of the Parent Group being a guarantor under any guarantee of performance, or having any other obligation pursuant to a franchise disclosure document or related franchise document or Contract, in each case, relating to the Transferred Entities or the Business (the “FDD Obligations”), (ii) any claim or demand for payment made on a member of the Parent Group with respect to any of the FDD Obligations or (iii) any Action by any Person who is or claims to be entitled to the benefit of or claims to be entitled to payment, reimbursement or indemnity with respect to any FDD Obligations, in each case except to the extent such Liabilities are suffered or incurred as a result of any such member of the Parent Group’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and shall promptly reimburse the members of the Parent Group for any fees or expenses incurred in connection with any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii). Without limitation to the foregoing, Purchaser shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Affiliates to, terminate by mutual agreement with the franchisee party, consent to a transfer or assignment of, or extend or renew any franchise agreement or related Contract entered into by any Transferred Entity containing or underlying any FDD Obligation unless, prior to or concurrently with such termination, consent, transfer, assignment, extension or renewal, the applicable members of the Parent Group are released from any FDD Obligations thereunder or in connection therewith to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

Section 5.24 Wrong Pockets.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Parent becomes aware that any asset, right or property exclusively related to the Business is held by Parent or any of its Affiliates, then Parent shall within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of such circumstance, use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer from Parent or one of its Affiliates to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates such assets, rights or properties and, to the extent permitted by Law, such asset, right or property shall be held in trust for Purchaser or relevant Affiliate of Purchaser pending such transfer.

TAX MATTERS

Section 7.1 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) To the extent necessary to prepare bills of sale, transfer agreements, or otherwise to timely comply with the requirements of applicable Law in respect of the sale of any Shares (or other assets), as soon as practicable (but no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing), Parent shall deliver to Purchaser a proposed preliminary allocation of the relevant portion of the Closing Purchase Price and any other amounts treated as consideration for Tax purposes among each applicable Seller (or other Subsidiary of Parent) that sells, transfers or assigns any relevant Shares (or other assets) (the “Preliminary Allocation”). If Purchaser disagrees with any Preliminary Allocation, Purchaser may, within seven (7) days after delivery of such Preliminary Allocation, deliver a notice to Parent to such effect, specifying those items as to which Purchaser disagrees and setting forth Purchaser’s proposed preliminary allocation. Parent and Purchaser shall, following such delivery cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute prior to the Closing (the items as to which Parent and Purchaser agree, collectively, the “Agreed Preliminary Allocation”).

(b) No later than ninety (90) days after the date on which the Final Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.7, Parent shall deliver to Purchaser a proposed allocation of the Final Purchase Price and any other amounts treated as consideration for Tax purposes among the SMAC Business, each of the Transferred Entities (and any assets that, for Tax purposes, are treated as assets purchased by Purchaser (or its relevant Subsidiaries) pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement and any Local Share Transfer Agreement) determined in a manner that is consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and any other relevant provisions of applicable Tax Law and that reflects any Agreed Preliminary Allocation made pursuant to Section 7.1(a) (“Parent’s Allocation”). If Purchaser disagrees with Parent’s Allocation (for the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to any Agreed Preliminary Allocation reflected in Parent’s Allocation), Purchaser may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of Parent’s Allocation, deliver a written notice (“Purchaser’s Allocation Notice”) to Parent to such effect, specifying those items as to which Purchaser disagrees and setting forth Purchaser’s proposed allocation. If Purchaser’s Allocation Notice is duly delivered, Parent and Purchaser shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation of the Final Purchase Price and any other amounts treated as consideration for Tax purposes. The allocation, as prepared by Parent if no Purchaser’s Allocation Notice has been given or as adjusted pursuant to any agreement between Parent and Purchaser (the “Allocation”), shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto absent manifest error; provided, that if Parent and Purchaser are unable to reach such agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser may separately determine the allocation of the Final Purchase Price and other relevant amounts in a manner that reflects, incorporates and is consistent with any Agreed Preliminary Allocation. The Allocation, if any, shall be adjusted, as necessary, to reflect any subsequent adjustments to the purchase price pursuant to Section 7.5 (and any other amounts treated as consideration for Tax purposes). Any such adjustment shall be allocated to the Share, Shares, asset, or assets (if any) to which such adjustment is attributable; provided, that to the extent there are no such assets or shares, such adjustment shall be allocated pro rata among the Shares (and other assets) sold.

(c) Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall (and they shall cause their respective Affiliates not to) take any position inconsistent with the Allocation or any Agreed Preliminary Allocation on any Tax Return or in any Tax Proceeding or otherwise, in each case, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of applicable state, local or foreign Law).

Parent shall pay over to Purchaser the amount of any refunds (or reductions in Tax or credits in lieu of a refund) of Taxes taken into account in the determination of Indebtedness or Working Capital, respectively, on the Final Closing Statement as an asset (thereby reducing Indebtedness or increasing Working Capital, as applicable, it being agreed and understood that a refund, reduction in Tax or credit in lieu of a refund shall not be considered to have reduced Indebtedness if Indebtedness would have been zero with or without such refund, reduction in Tax or credit) to the extent the amount of such refunds (or reductions in Tax or credits in lieu of a refund) received by Purchaser or its Affiliates (it being agreed and understood that the first refunds, reductions in Tax and credits in lieu of a refund received by Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing shall be considered to be the refunds, reductions in Tax or credits taken into account in the determination of Indebtedness or Working Capital) with respect to the taxable year ending on or before the one year anniversary of the Closing (or the immediately following taxable year) is less than the amount of such refunds (or reductions in Tax or credits in lieu of a refund) taken into account in the determination of Indebtedness or Working Capital, respectively, on the Final Closing Statement. Purchaser shall pay to Parent any amount due under this Section 7.3(c)(B) with respect to a refund of Taxes within five (5) Business Days of receiving the applicable Tax refund. Parent and Purchaser, as applicable, shall pay any other amount due under this Section 7.3(c)(B) within five (5) Business Days of filing the applicable Tax Return (but no earlier than the date that the relevant amount may be determined under the above provisions of this Section 7.3(c)(B)).

-74-

(c) by Parent, if (i) all of the conditions in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing and that would be satisfied if there were a Closing) have been satisfied or waived, (ii) Parent has notified Purchaser in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to such termination that Parent is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing, and (iii) Purchaser has failed to consummate the Closing within two (2) Business Days after the date by which the Closing is supposed to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3.

Section 9.3 Effect of Termination; Purchaser Termination Fee.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall terminate and become void and have no effect, and there shall be no Liability on the part of any party to this Agreement, except as set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, the second sentence of Section 5.3(e), the second to last sentence of Section 5.15(d), and this Section 9.3; provided, that termination of this Agreement shall not relieve (x) Parent from Liability for Willful Breach of this Agreement and (y) Purchaser from Liability pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 9.3(b) and 9.3(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Section 5.2(a), the second sentence of Section 5.3(e), the second to last sentence of Section 5.15(d), this Section 9.3 and Article XI (General Provisions) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Purchaser shall pay to Parent (or its designee) Ninety Seven Million Dollars ($97,000,000) (the “Purchaser Termination Fee”) if:

(i) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(ii) or Section 9.1(c); or

(ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i) or Section 9.1(b)(iii) and, at the time of termination, Parent would have been entitled to terminate this agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(ii) or Section 9.1(c).

If Purchaser fails to pay any amount when due pursuant to this Section 9.3, then Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent (or its designee) the amount due, together with interest accruing daily on such amount from the date on which such payment was due at an annual rate equal to the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was due plus five percent (5%).

The parties acknowledge and hereby agree that the Purchaser Termination Fee if, as and when paid pursuant to this Section 9.3, shall not constitute a penalty but will be liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent such amount in the circumstances in which it is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Sale, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.3(b), and the other amounts expressly set forth in Section 9.3(c), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent, the Sellers and their Affiliates following the termination of this Agreement.

Article X

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. The representations and warranties of Parent contained in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered hereunder shall not survive the Closing and shall terminate at the Closing. The covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, and written notice of any claim for breach of such covenant or agreement must be given by Purchaser to Parent or by Parent to Purchaser, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions hereof prior to such date. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed at or after the Closing shall survive the Closing until fully performed in accordance with their respective terms.

Section 10.2 Indemnification by Parent.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article X, effective as of and after the Closing, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses actually incurred or suffered by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (i) to the extent arising out of or resulting from any breach of any covenant or agreement of Parent contained in this Agreement, (ii) which are Liabilities of, or to the extent arising out of or relating to, the Retained Business, whether any such Liability arises before or after Closing, is known or unknown, or contingent or accrued, except, in each case, as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (iii) which are Taxes, and any reasonable costs related thereto, (A) imposed on or in connection with any step taken in the Pre-Closing Restructuring or any action taken by any member of the Parent Group or Transferred Entity pursuant to Section 5.7 or Section 5.8 (for the absence of doubt, to the extent such Taxes are for a taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date) or (B) reportable on a Parent Tax Return, (iv) from any claims brought by a third party against Purchaser, any of the Transferred Entities or any of their respective Affiliates to the extent resulting from the Parent Group’s continued use of any Business Names or ServiceMaster Names following the Closing, whether or not in compliance with Section 5.13 and (v) from any derivative, direct or other Actions brought by or on behalf of Parent stockholders, whether or not relating to the Transferred Entities or the Business, against any member of the Parent Group relating to or resulting from the entry into this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to the reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents filed by Parent with, or furnished to, the SEC, or in respect of fluctuations in the stock price of Parent.

-76-

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Purchaser Indemnified Party for, any Losses to the extent the related Liabilities were reflected in, reserved for or taken into account in the determination of Working Capital or Indebtedness on the Final Closing Statement or were reflected or reserved for in the Business Financial Statements.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the cumulative indemnification obligations of Parent under Section 10.2(a)(i) shall in no event exceed, in aggregate, the Closing Purchase Price (the “Overall Cap”).

Section 10.3 Indemnification by Purchaser.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article X, effective as of and after the Closing, Purchaser and the Transferred Entities shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent, the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses actually incurred or suffered by any of the Parent Indemnified Parties, (i) to the extent arising out of or resulting from any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement and (ii) which are Liabilities of, or to the extent arising out of or relating to, the Transferred Entities, the Business or the Business Leased Real Property (other than any Taxes described in Section 10.2(a)(iii)), in each case including the ownership, occupation, use or maintenance thereof by the Transferred Entities, Purchaser or its other Subsidiaries, and any Liability to the extent reflected in, reserved for or taken into account in the determination of Working Capital or Indebtedness on the Final Closing Statement, in each case, whether any such Liability arises before or after Closing, is known or unknown, or contingent or accrued, except, in each case, as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the cumulative indemnification obligations of Purchaser under Section 10.3(a)(i) shall in no event exceed, in aggregate, the Overall Cap.

-77-

Section 10.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand asserted, or any other matter or circumstance that arises, that has given or could reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”); provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article X, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure, it being agreed that any such notice must describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim, demand, matter or circumstance (in each case, to the extent reasonably known at such time), the provisions of this Agreement pursuant to which indemnification may be sought and an estimate of the Indemnified Party’s Losses and must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 10.1.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a Third Party Claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 (other than a Third Party Claim that (i) relates to Taxes, such Third Party Claims being governed by Section 10.4(c) and (d), or (ii) seeks solely an injunction or other equitable relief against the Business, a Transferred Entity or any of their Affiliates), the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party); provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 10.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense, but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to select counsel, contractors and consultants. Purchaser or Parent, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of their Affiliates and representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim, including by furnishing books and records, personnel and witnesses, as appropriate, for any defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, it shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided, that such settlement or judgment does not involve any injunctive relief or finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party, such settlement or judgment provides for a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates and the entire amount of such Loss arising from such settlement or judgment is indemnified by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnified Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

-78-

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.4: If a Third Party Claim includes or could reasonably be expected to include both a claim for Taxes for which Parent is responsible pursuant to Section 10.2 (“Parent Taxes”) and a claim for Taxes for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to Section 10.3 (“Purchaser Taxes,” and such a Third Party Claim, a “Mixed Tax Claim”), Parent and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sever such Third Party Claim into separate Tax Proceedings relating to Parent Taxes and Purchaser Taxes, respectively. If such Third Party Claim is not so severable, Parent (if the claim(s) for Parent Taxes exceeds or reasonably could be expected to exceed in amount the claim(s) for Purchaser Taxes) or otherwise Purchaser (Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, the “Tax Controlling Party”), shall be entitled to control the defense of such Third-Party Claim (such Third-Party Claim, a “Tax Claim”). In such case, (i) the other party (the “Tax Non-Controlling Party”) shall be entitled to participate fully (at the Tax Non-Controlling Party’s sole cost and expense) in the conduct of such Tax Claim, (ii) the Tax Controlling Party shall provide the Tax Non-Controlling Party with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Claim, (iii) the Tax Controlling Party shall consult with the Tax Non-Controlling Party before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Claim, (iv) the Tax Controlling Party shall consult with the Tax Non-Controlling Party and offer the Tax Non-Controlling Party an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Claim, (v) the Tax Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Claim diligently and in good faith as if it were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax Claim, and (vi) the Tax Controlling Party shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of the Tax Non-Controlling Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The reasonable costs and expenses of conducting the defense of such Tax Claim shall be reasonably apportioned based on the relative amounts of the claim for Parent Taxes and Purchaser Taxes. Parent shall be entitled to control any Third Party Claim relating to a Separate Tax Return of a Transferred Entity (and any portion of a severable Mixed Tax Claim) that includes or would reasonably be expected to include solely Parent Taxes; provided that Parent shall not settle such Third Party Claim (or portion thereof) without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) in a manner that would be legally binding with respect to Purchaser Taxes.

(d) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Parent shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any Tax Proceeding with respect to any Parent Tax Return.

Section 10.5 Exclusive Remedy; No Recourse.

(a) Purchaser and Parent acknowledge and agree that, except (i) in connection with Actual Fraud, (ii) with respect to the matters covered by Section 2.5 through 2.7, (iii) as provided by Section 5.1, Section 5.5(c), Section 5.9(a), Section 5.10(c), Section 5.17, Section 5.23(c) and (b), Section 6.7, and the second to last sentence of Section 5.15(d), (iv) as provided by Section 5.24, and (v) for the parties’ right to seek and obtain any equitable relief pursuant to Section 11.11, from and after the Closing, the indemnification provisions of Section 10.2 and Section 10.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Parent and Purchaser for any Liabilities or Losses (including any Liabilities or Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability or otherwise) that either party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with the Sale or the other transactions contemplated hereby, including any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the Local Share Transfer Agreements (but excluding the other Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any right of rescission it may otherwise have or to which it may become entitled.

-79-

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchaser, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Transferred Entities) and its and its Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees, members, partners, stockholders, other equity holders, representatives and agents, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, but excluding Purchaser, the “Purchaser Related Parties”) hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action against, and shall have no recourse of any kind to any of Parent’s Affiliates or any of Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees, members, partners, stockholders, equity holders, representatives or agents, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, but excluding Parent, the “Parent Related Parties”) under any theory of law or equity, including under any control person liability theory, for any Losses relating to or arising from any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement (or any certificate or other document delivered hereunder) or in connection with this Agreement or the Sale or the other transactions contemplated hereby, including by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement (or any certificate or other document delivered hereunder), the subject matter of this Agreement, the ownership, operation, management, use or control of the Business or any of the Transferred Entities prior to the Closing, any of their respective assets or liabilities, or any actions or omissions at or prior to the Closing, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent, on behalf of itself and the Parent Related Parties hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action against, and shall have no recourse of any kind to any of the Purchaser Related Parties under any theory of law or equity, including under any control person liability theory, for any Losses relating to or arising from any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement (or any certificate or other document delivered hereunder) or in connection with this Agreement or the Sale or the other transactions contemplated hereby, including by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement (or any certificate or other document delivered hereunder), the subject matter of this Agreement, any of their respective assets or liabilities, or any actions or omissions at or prior to the Closing, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, except, in each case, pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter, the Limited Guaranty or any other Ancillary Agreement pursuant to, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein.

(d) Parent and Purchaser agree that the limits imposed on remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby constitute an integral part of the consideration provided to Parent hereunder, were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and their respective counsel and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to Parent hereunder.

-80-

Section 10.6 Additional Indemnification Provisions. With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Agreement, all Losses shall be (a) reduced by any cash Tax benefits (whether in the form of a reduction in Taxes payable, a cash Tax refund or a credit in lieu of a Tax refund), determined on a “with and without” basis, actually realized by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the incurrence of such Loss in the taxable year of such Loss or the following six (6) taxable years and (b) reduced by the amount of any third-party insurance or reimbursement proceeds that have been recovered by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification (it being agreed that if such cash Tax benefit or proceeds in respect of such facts is received or are recovered by the Indemnified Party subsequent to the Indemnifying Party’s making of an indemnification payment in satisfaction of its applicable indemnification obligation, the amount of such cash Tax benefit or proceeds shall be promptly remitted to the Indemnifying Party to the extent such reduction of the Losses would have reduced the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations), and the Indemnified Party shall use, and cause its Affiliates to use, reasonable best efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance and other indemnity and reimbursement provisions covering such Losses to the same extent as it would if such Losses were not subject to indemnification hereunder. Upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant to this Article X, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights or claims which the Indemnified Party may have against any third parties with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assign any such rights or claims to the Indemnifying Party or, where such assignment is not permitted, use commercially reasonable efforts to recover in respect of such rights or claims against the third parties on behalf of the Indemnifying Party.

Section 10.7 Limitation of Liability. In no event shall any Indemnifying Party have Liability to any Indemnified Party for, and Losses shall not be deemed to include, any consequential, special, incidental, exemplary, indirect, punitive or similar damages, or for any loss of future revenue, profits or income, or for any diminution in value damages measured as a multiple of earnings, revenue or any other performance metric, except for any such damages to the extent actually awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction and paid to a third party. No Indemnified Party shall have any right to assert any claim against any Indemnifying Party with respect to any Loss to the extent such alleged Loss is a possible or potential Loss the Indemnified Party believes may be asserted rather than an actual Loss that has, in fact, been actually paid or incurred by such Indemnified Party. Neither the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, on the one hand, nor the Parent Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, shall be entitled to recover more than once in respect of any Loss. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article X to the extent any Losses were attributable to such Indemnified Party’s own fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 10.8 Mitigation. Each of the parties agrees to use, and to cause its Affiliates to use, its reasonable best efforts to mitigate its respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder, provided, that the reasonable costs of such mitigation may be Losses hereunder, and no Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or result from the Indemnified Party’s failure to use reasonable best efforts to mitigate such Losses.

Article XI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that no party to this Agreement may directly or indirectly assign (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) any or all of its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other party to this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be permitted to collaterally assign its rights and remedies under this Agreement to any lender to Purchaser or their Affiliates (and their successors and assigns) in respect of financing arrangements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and Purchaser shall be entitled to assign any or all of its rights hereunder without obtaining the consent of Parent to one or more of its Affiliates, in each case, which such assignment shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.

Any party to this Agreement may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by the other party to this Agreement with any term or provision of this Agreement on the part of such other party to this Agreement to be performed or complied with.

Section 11.11 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties hereto 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 hereto do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled in Law or in equity; provided, that the only Liability pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements for money damages of Purchaser and its Affiliates prior to the Closing shall be pursuant to Section 9.3, the second sentence of Section 5.3(e), and the second to last sentence of Section 5.15(d). Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction. The parties acknowledge and agree that the limitations on remedies of the parties following termination of this Agreement set forth in Section 9.3 shall not limit the right of Parent to obtain specific performance pursuant to this Section 11.11 and that Parent is entitled to seek specific performance under this Agreement and under the Equity Commitment Letter to cause the Equity Investors to fund the Closing Purchase Price and the Final Purchase Price, subject to Section 11.3(b).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is acknowledged and agreed that Purchaser has an obligation hereunder to cause the Equity Financing to be funded by exercising its rights under the Equity Commitment Letter, subject to the requirements set forth below and the terms and conditions herein and therein, and that the right of Parent to specific performance in connection with enforcing the rights of Purchaser under the Equity Commitment Letter will be subject to the requirements that (i) all of the conditions in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing and that would be satisfied if there were a Closing); (ii) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded in full at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing; (iii) Parent has confirmed in a written notice to Purchaser that if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8(b) with respect to any Deferred Closing Jurisdiction, Parent is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing; and (iv) Purchaser has failed to consummate the Closing within two (2) Business Days after the date by which the Closing is supposed to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3.

Section 11.12 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation; Nonassertion of Attorney-Client Privilege.

(a) Purchaser waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, including the Transferred Entities, to waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Representation”), of Parent, any of its Affiliates or any shareholder, officer, employee or director of Parent or any of its Affiliates (any such Person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Local Share Transfer Agreements or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, by any legal counsel currently representing Parent or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Local Share Transfer Agreements or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including Wachtell, Lipton, Xxxxx & Xxxx (the “Current Representation”).

-87-

(b) Purchaser waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, including the Transferred Entities, to waive and not to assert, any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection with respect to any communication between any legal counsel and any Designated Person occurring during the Current Representation in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute with Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, and following the Closing, with any Transferred Entity (including in respect of any claim for indemnification by Purchaser), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all such rights to such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection and to control such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection shall be retained by Parent and that Parent, and not Purchaser, its Subsidiaries or the Transferred Entities, shall have the sole right to decide whether or not to waive any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection. Accordingly, from and after Closing, none of Purchaser, its Subsidiaries or the Transferred Entities shall have any access to any such communications or to the files of the Current Representation, all of which shall be and remain the property of Parent and not of Purchaser, its Subsidiaries or the Transferred Entities, or to internal counsel relating to such engagement, and none of Purchaser, its Subsidiaries, the Transferred Entities or any Person acting or purporting to act on their behalf shall seek to obtain the same by any process on the grounds that the privilege and protection attaching to such communications and files belongs to Parent.

Section 11.13 Financing Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Parent and Purchaser (in the case of Purchaser, other than with respect to clause (g)), in each case, on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries and each of its controlled Affiliates hereby: (a) agrees that any proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Financing Parties, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the agreements (including the Debt Commitment Letter) entered into in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, so long as such forum is and remains available, and any appellate court thereof and each party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, (b) agrees that any such proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another state), except as otherwise provided in the Debt Commitment Letter or other applicable definitive document relating to the Debt Financing, (c) agrees not to bring or support or permit any of its controlled Affiliates to bring or support any proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Party in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder in any forum other than any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, (d) agrees that service of process upon Parent or its controlled Affiliates in any such proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 11.7, (e) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such proceeding in any such court, (f) knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law trial by jury in any proceeding brought against the Financing Parties in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (g) agrees that none of the Financing Parties will have any liability to Parent or any of its controlled Affiliates (in each case, other than Purchaser’s Affiliates) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise (except, after giving effect to the Closing, to the Transferred Entities in accordance with the final documentation contemplated by the Debt Financing) and (h) agrees that the Financing Parties are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any of the provisions of this Section 11.13, and that such provisions shall not be amended in any way adverse to the Financing Parties without the prior written consent of the Financing Entities.

Section 11.15 Release.
