If the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within 20 Business Days after the receipt by the Purchaser of the Seller’s written notice of dispute, the Seller and the Purchaser shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to RSM US LLP (or, if such firm shall decline or is unable to act or is not, at the time of such submission, independent of the Seller and the Purchaser, to another independent accounting firm of international reputation mutually acceptable to the Seller and the Purchaser, except that if the Seller and Purchaser cannot agree on an independent accounting firm, such firm shall be selected by mutual agreement of the independent accounting firms regularly used by the Seller and the Purchaser in the conduct of their respective business) (either RSM US LLP or such other accounting firm being referred to herein as the “Independent Accounting Firm”). In selecting the Independent Accounting Firm for purposes of this Agreement, the parties hereby waive any conflict or potential conflict arising from any services performed by such firm for the Seller or the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates. The Purchaser and the Seller shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to, within 30 days after such submission, determine what it believes in its professional judgment to be the most accurate calculation of the remaining disputed items in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and report to the Seller and the Purchaser upon such remaining disputed items, and such report shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Seller and the Purchaser. With respect to each disputed item, such determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by the Purchaser in the Closing Statement or the Seller in the notice of dispute. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between the Seller and the Purchaser in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted.

(ii) In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be entitled to the privileges and immunities of arbitrators.

(ii) If the Actual Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to (A) release to the Purchaser an amount of the Escrow Funds equal to the absolute value of such Actual Adjustment Amount, (B) if the absolute value of such Actual Adjustment Amount is less than the Escrow Amount, release to Seller an amount of the Escrow Funds equal to the Escrow Amount minus the absolute value of the Actual Adjustment Amount and (C) if the absolute value of such Actual Adjustment Amount is greater than the Escrow Amount, release to Purchaser an amount of the Escrow Funds equal to the Escrow Amount and the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the excess of the Actual Adjustment Amount over the Escrow Amount.

(d) Interest on Payments. Any payments required to be made by the Seller or the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.07(c) shall bear interest from the Closing Date through and including the date of payment at the per annum prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the last Business Day immediately prior to the making of such payment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller shall not be required to provide any such access or disclose any such information to the Purchaser or any such other person if such disclosure would, in the Seller’s discretion (after consultation with outside counsel), (i) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or (ii) contravene any applicable Laws.

This Section 5.03 shall not apply to any information that, at the time of disclosure, is available publicly and was not disclosed in breach of this Agreement by the Seller or any of its agents, representatives, Affiliates, employees, officers or directors. In addition, with respect to Intellectual Property, any combination of features shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exception merely because the individual features are in the public domain unless the combination itself and its principle of operation are in the public domain or would be reasonably understood by one skilled in the applicable art.

Each such party shall supply as promptly as reasonably practicable to the appropriate

Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not obligate the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to make any sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of the assets, properties or businesses of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or of the assets, properties, businesses to be acquired pursuant hereto or otherwise take any action that limits the freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of the businesses, product lines or assets of the Purchaser and its Affiliates or those that the Purchaser is acquiring pursuant to this Agreement. The Seller, the Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall not extend any waiting period or comparable period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, except with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

If any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability is not able to be transferred to the Purchaser except with the consent of any third party and such consent has not been obtained by the Closing Date, (i) the transfer of such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability shall not be effective as of the Closing Date, but rather such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability shall be transferred to the Purchaser only upon such time as such consent has been obtained, (ii) each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts and cooperate with the other Party to obtain such consent as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and (iii) except with respect to any Customer Contract (which shall be governed exclusively by Section 5.04(e)), to the extent permitted under any relevant underlying Contract, the Seller shall deliver or remit to the Purchaser all economic benefit of such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability and the Purchaser shall perform the Seller’s commercial obligations relating to such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability until such time as such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability may be assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing clause (i).

(e) The Seller and the Purchaser agree that if any consent, approval or authorization necessary to effect the transfer of a Customer Contract cannot be obtained with respect to such Customer Contract, the Seller and its Affiliates shall to the extent permitted, subcontract to the Purchaser the performance of any such Customer Contract, in which case (A) the Purchaser shall satisfy all obligations of the Seller and its Affiliates under such Customer Contract, (B) the Seller and its Affiliates shall promptly pay, assign and remit to the Purchaser all cash and other consideration received by the Seller and its Affiliates in respect of such obligations satisfied by the Purchaser, and (C) from and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller and its representatives for any and all Losses incurred in connection with the Purchaser’s performance of (or as a result of the failure of the Purchaser to perform) such obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit the closing condition set forth in Section 8.02(f)(i).

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, and as a separate and independent covenant, during the Restricted Period, the Seller shall not, and shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that none of its Affiliates, Solicit Customers of the Business to modify, reduce or terminate their business or relationship with the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or become a customer of the Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Business.

During the Restricted Period, the Seller shall not, and shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that none of its Affiliates, solicit for employment or hire any individuals (i) who are (at any time from the date of this Agreement until the third anniversary of the Closing Date) (a) New Employees engaged in the operation of the Business at the manager level or above or, with respect to tower crews, at the supervisor or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ level or above or (b) employees of the Purchaser engaged in the operation of the Business at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or supervisor level or above or (ii) who are employees of the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser with whom the Seller first came into contact in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, (i) that the foregoing will not prohibit a general solicitation to the public of general advertising and the related hiring from such general solicitation and (ii) that the restrictions in this Section 5.10 shall not apply to the hiring of a person who has not been so employed for the past six month and who was not solicited by the Seller or any of its Affiliates in violation of this Section 5.10 prior to termination of his or her employment.

SECTION 5.11. Bulk Transfer Laws. Each of the Purchaser and the Seller hereby waives compliance by the other party with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser (other than any obligations of a Seller with respect to the application of the proceeds therefrom). Pursuant to Article IX, the Seller has agreed to indemnify the Purchaser against any and all Liabilities (including any Liabilities for Taxes of the Seller as a transferee or otherwise) which may be asserted by third parties against the Purchaser as a result of any noncompliance by the Purchaser and the Seller with any such law.

SECTION 5.12. Further Action.

(a) Each of the parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including taking such actions as are reasonably necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article VIII.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01, the Seller acknowledges and agrees that certain assets that constitute Purchased Assets may not have been transferred to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. If, following the Closing, the Seller or the Purchaser determines, acting reasonably and in good faith, that any Purchased Assets were not so transferred, the parties agree to cooperate to transfer such Purchased Assets to the Purchaser without payment of any further consideration.

(c) The Seller agrees that it shall forward or remit promptly (and in no event later than two Business Days after receipt) to the Purchaser any payment or the amount of any payment, as the case may be, relating to a Purchased Asset or the Business received by the Seller after the Closing and related to the Purchased Assets or the Business after the Closing, and shall

forward any other document pertaining to any such payment received after the Closing. The Purchaser agrees that it shall forward or remit promptly (and in no event later than two Business Days after receipt) to the Seller any payment or the amount of any payment, as the case may be, relating to a Purchased Asset or the Business received by the Purchaser after the Closing and related to the Purchased Assets or the Business prior to the Closing, and shall forward any other document pertaining to any such payment received after the Closing. Each such remittance shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds, pursuant to the applicable Party’s payment instructions (or such other method as the parties shall mutually agree if at any time the volume of remittances no longer justifies use of wire transfer).

SECTION 5.13. Leased Vehicles. To the extent the Seller is unable to assign the Leases related to the Leased Vehicles, the Purchaser shall have the option, at the Closing, to purchase each Leased Vehicle from the respective lessor of such Leased Vehicle for the applicable Buy-Out Amount. Upon such purchase, such lessor shall release the Seller, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Seller, from all obligations with respect to the Leased Vehicles. Section 5.13 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth, to the Seller’s Knowledge, the respective lessor’s estimated Buy-Out Amount for each Leased Vehicle as of a date on or about the applicable dates set forth in Section 5.13 of the Disclosure Schedule, subject to adjustments in connection with, among other things, final vehicle mileage determinations, applicable taxes and additional lease payments. All costs and expenses in connection with the actions described in this Section 5.13 (including payment of the applicable Buy-Out Amounts) shall be borne by the Purchaser.

SECTION 5.14. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

SECTION 5.15. Transition Services. Between the date hereof and the Closing, the Purchaser and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to enter into a transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) to be effective on the Closing Date pursuant to which Seller will provide to the Purchaser or its Affiliates with respect to the Business the scope of services specified on Section 5.15 of the Disclosure Schedule and such other services as reasonably agreed by the parties hereto for the time periods specified on such schedule. The Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith the payment terms for such scope of services; provided that the payment terms shall reflect Seller’s actual cost to provide such services without any ▇▇▇▇-up or allocation of corporate overhead or other similar costs.

SECTION 5.16. Katy Sublease Agreement. Between the date hereof and the Closing, the Seller will reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser and the applicable landlord in the negotiation of a subleasing arrangement (the “Katy Sublease Agreement”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, between the Seller and the Purchaser in respect of the Leased Real Property located at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Katy Property”). The Purchaser’s rent under the Katy Sublease Agreement shall not exceed its pro rata share of the rent under the existing lease in respect of Katy Property based on the amount of space subleased to the Purchaser compared to the total space at the Katy Property.

SECTION 5.17. Facilities Access. In order to facilitate the removal of certain assets that constitute Purchased Assets therefrom, for 30 days following the Closing the Seller will provide the Purchaser with reasonable access, during normal business hours to the facilities of the Seller located at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller a pro rata portion of the rent due under the lease for such property for each day of the 30 day period until the Purchased Assets have been removed.

SECTION 5.18. Noteholder Consent. In the event Seller commences the Exchange Offer with respect to the Senior Secured Notes or otherwise seeks to amend or restructure the Senior Secured Notes, including any consent solicitation (the “Notes Restructuring”), then Seller shall condition the consummation of the Exchange Offer or any Notes Restructuring on obtaining the Noteholder Consent and shall not waive such condition without the consent of the Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld. If the Seller obtains the Noteholder Consent, then the Purchaser shall agree to release the Indemnity Escrow Amount as set forth in Section 9.07(b).

SECTION 5.19. Employees. Within 10 Business Days of the date hereof, the Seller shall provide a list of (i) the name, place of employment, the current hourly wage or annual salary rates, target bonuses, deferred or contingent compensation rights, pension entitlements, accrued vacation, “golden parachute” and other like benefits paid or payable (in cash or otherwise) in the fiscal years ended 2014 and 2015, the date of commencement of employment with the Seller and position title of up to twenty additional current employees of the Seller who are primarily employed in connection with the Business and such employees shall constitute additional Business Employees. The aggregate monthly base compensation of all such additional Business Employees shall not exceed $150,000 and none of such additional Business Employees are party to any Contracts between the Seller or any of its Affiliates, including any Contracts or agreements relating to the sale of the Purchased Assets, or shall be entitled to any deferred or contingent compensation rights, pension entitlements, “golden parachute” or other like benefits payable after the Closing Date.

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

SECTION 6.01. Offer of Employment. No later than 20 Business Days following the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall make conditional offers of employment to all Business Employees, subject to the Purchaser’s established hiring and onboarding criteria (including, without limitation, applicable background checks, drug screening and verification of employment authorization). The Purchaser shall employ each of the Business Employees, effective as of the Closing, who satisfy the established hiring and onboarding criteria (each of such Business Employees who, as of the Closing, satisfies all of Purchaser’s established hiring and onboarding criteria and has accepted the Purchaser’s offer of employment, hereafter referred to as a “New Employee”). The Seller shall retain Liability for any and all severance or other termination-related costs, if any, with respect to Business Employees who do not become

New Employees. Once employed by the Purchaser, the New Employees will be eligible to participate in the Purchaser’s employee benefit plans on terms and conditions applicable to similarly-situated Purchaser employees. The medical, dental and health plans of the Purchaser applicable to each New Employee (x) shall not contain any exclusions for pre-existing conditions (other than conditions which barred coverage under the Seller’s corresponding plans), and (y) shall immediately, without any waiting period, cover as of Closing each New Employee who elects and is eligible for coverage under such plans. In addition, the Purchaser shall grant each New Employee full credit for all periods of employment with the Seller for eligibility, vesting and accrual purposes under the employee benefit plans of the Purchaser applicable to such New Employee (except that this sentence shall not obligate the Purchaser to grant benefit accrual service under any defined benefit pension plan for any period of employment occurring prior to the date of the Closing); provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit to any such employee or the funding for any such benefit. All New Employees will be considered at-will employees.

SECTION 6.02. Employee Plans; Contributions for Periods Prior to Closing. As of the Closing, the Seller shall take all necessary and appropriate actions to terminate the participation of the New Employees under the Plans and the New Employees shall cease to accrue any additional benefits under the Plans. The Purchaser shall not be deemed a successor to any of the Plans. The Seller shall retain all assets and Liabilities under the Plans and shall remain obligated for all claims for benefits and benefit entitlements under the Plans.

SECTION 6.03. WARN. The Purchaser shall be responsible for any obligation with respect to the New Employees under the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act of 1988 and any applicable state or local equivalent arising or accruing after the Closing Date (collectively, “WARN”). The Seller shall be responsible for any such obligation arising or accruing under WARN on or before the Closing Date. The parties hereto agree to cooperate in good faith to determine whether any notification may be required under WARN as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 6.04. COBRA. The Seller shall be responsible for the administration of and shall retain any and all Liabilities for COBRA continuation coverage with respect to the New Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries for “qualifying events” occurring prior to and including the date on which the New Employee becomes a New Employee (for purposes of clarity, to the extent such New Employees are covered under a Plan providing for such COBRA continuation benefits), and the Purchaser shall be responsible for all obligations and Liabilities for COBRA continuation coverage for New Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries with respect to “qualifying events” occurring after the date on which the New Employee becomes a New Employee (for purposes of clarity, to the extent such New Employees are covered under a Plan providing for COBRA continuation benefits).

SECTION 6.05. Accrued Paid Time Off. The Seller shall, upon the Closing, make a payment to each New Employee in the amount of the value of his or her accrued but unused vacation days, sick days and other paid time off, if any, in each case less applicable Taxes.

ARTICLE VII

TAX MATTERS

SECTION 7.01. Tax Cooperation and Exchange of Information. The Seller and the Purchaser shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in (a) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business, (b) determining a Liability for Taxes or a right to a refund of Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business, (c) participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business, or (d) making representations to or furnishing information to parties subsequently desiring to purchase any part of the Purchased Assets or the Business from the Purchaser. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents in their possession relating to rulings or other determinations by Tax authorities. The Seller and the Purchaser shall make themselves (and their respective employees) available on a basis mutually convenient to all parties to provide explanations of any documents or information provided under this Section 7.01. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.01, the Seller shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession (or in the possession of its Affiliates) relating to Tax matters relevant to the Purchased Assets or the Business for any Straddle Period and for all prior taxable periods until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the Purchaser in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods and (ii) six years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. After such time, before the Seller shall dispose of any such documents in its possession (or in the possession of its Affiliates), the Purchaser shall be given the opportunity, after 30 days’ prior written notice, to remove and retain all or any part of such documents as the Purchaser may select (at such the Purchaser’s expense). Any information obtained under this Section 7.01 shall be kept confidential in accordance with Section 5.03, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.

SECTION 7.02. Conveyance Taxes. All Conveyance Taxes incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid equally by Purchaser and the Seller. The Party required to do so under Tax Law, after review and consent by the other Party, shall file such applications and documents as shall permit any such Conveyance Tax to be assessed and paid on or after the Closing. The parties required to do so under Tax Law shall execute and deliver all instruments and certificates as are necessary to comply with the foregoing.

SECTION 7.03. Proration of Taxes and Certain Charges.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, (i) Property Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets allocable to the Pre-Closing Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that fall within

the Pre-Closing Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) Taxes (other than Property Taxes) relating to the Purchased Assets for the Pre-Closing Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the end of the date hereof. If any Taxes subject to proration are paid by Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Seller, on the other hand, the proportionate amount of such Taxes paid (or in the event a refund of any portion of such Taxes previously paid is received, such refund) shall be paid promptly by (or to) the other after the payment of such Taxes (or promptly following the receipt of any such refund). Any payments required to be made to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.03(a) shall be made using funds other than the Escrow Funds.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all installments of special assessments or other charges on or with respect to the Purchased Assets payable by the Seller for any period in which the Closing shall occur (including base rent, common area maintenance, royalties, all municipal, utility or authority charges for water, sewer, electric or gas charges, garbage or waste removal, and cost of fuel) shall be apportioned as of the Closing and each party shall pay its proportionate share promptly upon the receipt of any ▇▇▇▇, statement or other charge with respect thereto. If such charges or rates are assessed either based upon time or for a specified period, such charges or rates shall be prorated as of 12:01 A.M. on the Closing Date. If such charges or rates are assessed based upon usage of utility or similar services, such charges shall be prorated based upon meter readings taken on the Closing Date.

(c) All refunds, reimbursements, installments of base rent, additional rent, license fees or other use related revenue receivable by any party to the extent attributable to the operation of the Business for any period in which the Closing shall occur shall be prorated so that the Seller shall not be entitled to that portion of any such installment applicable to any period from and after the Closing Date, and if Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be, shall receive any such payments after the Closing Date, it shall promptly remit to such other party its share of such payments.

(d) The prorations pursuant to this Section 7.03 may be calculated after the Closing, as each item to be prorated (including any such Tax, obligation, assessment, charge, refund, reimbursement, rent installment, fee or revenue) accrues or comes due; provided that, in any event, except with respect to Taxes, any such proration shall be calculated not later than thirty (30) days after the party requesting the proration of any item obtains the information required to calculate such proration.

(i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser contained in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any certificate delivered hereunder (it being understood that such representations and warranties shall be interpreted without giving effect to any limitations or qualifications as to “materiality” (including the word “material”) or “Material Adverse Effect” set forth therein);

(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements; or

(b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Action, audit, demand or assessment (each, a “Third Party Claim”) against it or which may give rise to a claim for a Loss under this Article IX, within 30 days of the receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by

such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article IX. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within ten days of the receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.

Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.05(b) to the contrary, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall, without the prior written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the claimant (or claimants) and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all Liability in respect of the Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.05 to the contrary, if the Seller is the Indemnifying Party, it shall not be entitled to undertake the defense of a Third Party Claim if such Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with (x) any criminal Action or any Action seeking equitable or remedial relief or (y) any Action that is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Purchaser or the Business that is not also a supplier or customer of the Seller.

SECTION 9.06. Exclusive Remedy. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, except for the right to specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as provided herein and with respect to fraud, the provisions of this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Seller Indemnified Parties and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Loss.

SECTION 9.07. Distributions from the Indemnity Escrow Funds; Survival.

(a) In the event that (a) the Seller shall not have objected to the amount claimed by a Purchaser Indemnified Party for indemnification with respect to any Loss in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement or (b) the Seller shall have delivered notice of a disagreement as to the amount of any indemnification requested by a

Purchaser Indemnified Party and either (i) the Seller and such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have, subsequent to the giving of such notice, mutually agreed that the Seller is obligated to indemnify such Purchaser Indemnified Party for a specified amount and shall have so jointly notified the Escrow Agent or (ii) a final nonappealable judgment shall have been rendered by the court having jurisdiction over the matters relating to such claim by such Purchaser Indemnified Party for indemnification from the Seller and the Escrow Agent shall have received, in the case of clause (i) above, written instructions from the Seller and such Purchaser Indemnified Party or, in the case of clause (ii) above, a copy of the final nonappealable judgment of the court, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to such Purchaser Indemnified Party from the Escrow Funds any amount determined to be owed to the Purchaser Indemnified Party under this Article IX in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Upon the earlier of (i) the receipt, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, of the Noteholder Consent and (ii) the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing, the Seller and the Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to the Purchaser an amount of the Escrow Funds equal to the Indemnity Escrow Amount minus any amounts delivered to a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.07(a) or for which an unresolved Claim has been made.

SECTION 9.08. Tax Treatment. The Seller and the Purchaser agree that all payments made by either of them to or for the benefit of the other under this Article IX, under other indemnity provisions of this Agreement and for any misrepresentations or breaches of warranties or covenants shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof.

SECTION 9.09. Certain Other Indemnification Matters. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Losses hereunder shall not include (other than damages actually paid in respect of a Third Party Claim) punitive, incidental or consequential damages, except to the extent such Losses are a reasonably foreseeable consequence of any breach of this Agreement or in the case of fraud. Any Liability for indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. Any amount of any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments, or reimbursements actually received by any Indemnified Party in connection with any Losses or the circumstances giving rise thereto (net of any increase in premiums or reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such proceeds, payments or reimbursements) shall be deducted from the amount of Losses recoverable under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.10. Subrogation. To the extent that the Indemnifying Party makes or is required to make any indemnification payment to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to exercise, and shall be subrogated to, any rights and remedies (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution, and other rights of recovery) that the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s representatives may have against any other Person with respect to any Losses or Action to which such indemnification payment is directly or indirectly related.

(a) by the Purchaser if (i) between the date hereof and the Closing, an event or condition occurs that has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) the Seller shall have breached any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII, which breach cannot be or has not been cured by the End Date after the giving of written notice by the Purchaser specifying such breach;

(b) by the Seller if the Purchaser shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII, which breach cannot be or has not been cured by the End Date after the giving of written notice by the Seller specifying such breach;

(c) by either the Seller or the Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred by July 31, 2016 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.01(c) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

(e) by either the Purchaser or the Seller in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or

(f) by the mutual written consent of the Seller and the Purchaser.

SECTION 11.04. Public Announcements. Each party acknowledges that the other party will make a public announcement in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or about the date hereof (each such announcement, a “Press Release”), and each party will provide the other party a reasonable opportunity to review such party’s Press Release prior to dissemination. Other than its Press Release, the Seller shall not make, or cause to be made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except as required by Law, in which case the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review such communication prior to its dissemination.

SECTION 11.05. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 11.06. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof (including the Letter of Intent).

SECTION 11.07. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the express written consent of the Seller and the Purchaser (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Seller or the

Purchaser, as applicable) and any such assignment or attempted assignment without such consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may assign all or any portion of this Agreement to one or more Affiliates of the Purchaser without the consent of the Seller, provided that any such assignment by the Purchaser shall not relieve the Purchaser of any Liability or obligation hereunder.

SECTION 11.08. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, each of the Parties or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 11.09.

SECTION 11.09. Waiver. Any Party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered by any other Party pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of any other party or conditions to such party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the parties to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

SECTION 11.10. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of Article IX relating to indemnified parties, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including any union or any employee or former employee of the Seller, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.11. Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached and that any non-performance or breach of this Agreement by any Party could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone and that the parties hereto would not have any adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which any Party may be entitled, at law or in equity (including monetary damages), such party shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement without posting any bond or other undertaking.

SECTION 11.12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts

executed in and to be performed in that State. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the state courts of Delaware sitting in New Castle County, Delaware. Consistent with the preceding sentence, the parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state court sitting in New Castle County, Delaware for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

SECTION 11.13. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.13.

SECTION 11.14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or portable document format (“.pdf”)) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 11.15. Time of Essence. As to all provisions of this Agreement, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above.
