Each of Seller and Purchaser shall bear its own and its Affiliates’ internal costs to obtain such consents and waivers, and the costs payable to third parties for obtaining such consents and waivers (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any increased fees under the terms of any Assigned Contract from and after the Closing) shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser.

(b) If any such consent or waiver referred to in Section 2.03(a) cannot be obtained prior to the Closing, then, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and the terms of any relevant contracts with third parties, Seller shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, until the earlier of (i) the time at which such consent or waiver is obtained, and (ii) the expiration or termination of the term or duration of any such Non-Assignable Asset (the length of such term or duration being as it exists as of the Closing): (A) hold the Non-Assignable Assets, from and after the Closing, in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for Purchaser’s account; and (B) take or cause to be taken such actions in its name or otherwise as Purchaser may reasonably request so as to provide Purchaser with the benefits of such Non-Assignable Assets, to enforce (for the benefit of Purchaser or one its Affiliates and to the extent it is commercially reasonable to do so) any of Seller’s or Seller’s Affiliates’ respective rights relating to such Non-Assignable Assets and to effect the collection of

money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under such Non-Assignable Asset, and shall promptly pay over to Purchaser all money or other consideration received by it in respect of such Non-Assignable Asset, provided that Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and Seller’s Affiliates for any Liabilities arising out of any action or omission by Purchaser relating to such Non-Assignable Asset (other than any such action or omission by Purchaser at the request or direction of Seller). Purchaser shall timely pay, perform or otherwise discharge (in accordance with the respective terms and subject to the respective conditions thereof, and in the name of Seller or its applicable Affiliate) all of the covenants and obligations of Seller or its applicable Affiliate incurred after the Closing with respect to such Non-Assignable Asset (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any increases in fees, costs or expenses required to be paid by Seller under the terms thereof), provided that Seller shall indemnify Purchaser for any Liabilities arising out of any action or omission by Seller relating to such Non-Assignable Asset (other than any such action or omission by Seller at the request or direction of Purchaser). Purchaser and Seller shall mutually cooperate to provide any other reasonable alternative arrangements as may be reasonably required to implement the purpose and intent of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements so that Purchaser and its Affiliates will have access to the rights and benefits contemplated by such Non-Assignable Asset from and after the Closing. Upon obtaining the requisite consent of any applicable Person, any previously Non-Assignable Asset and any Leases that were not assigned, transferred, subleased or licensed (as applicable) at the Closing (in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.03(a) ) shall be promptly transferred, assigned, subleased or licensed (as applicable) by the Seller or its applicable Affiliate(s) to Purchaser for no additional consideration.

Section 2.04. Assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall assume, satisfy and discharge when due, any and all Liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates relating to the Transferred Assets (other than the Excluded Liabilities and excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) all Reinsured Liabilities reinsured by Purchaser under and pursuant to the Reinsurance Agreement, which will be governed by the terms of the Reinsurance Agreement, to the extent arising on or after the Closing Date, (ii) any Liabilities that result from a breach by Seller or its Affiliates of any Assigned Contract arising out of an action or omission occurring prior to the Closing) (all such Liabilities to be so assumed, satisfied or discharged being referred to herein as the “Assumed Liabilities”), including the following: (a) all Liabilities arising under the Assigned Contracts; (b) all Liabilities for Taxes relating to the Transferred Assets other than Excluded Taxes; (c) all Liabilities assumed by Purchaser pursuant to Articles VI and VII; and (d) all Liabilities listed on Schedule III.

Section 2.05. Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser will not assume or be liable for, and Seller and its applicable Affiliates will retain and remain responsible for, all of Seller’s and such Affiliates’ Liabilities (fixed or contingent, known or unknown) (other than the Assumed Liabilities and excluding, for

the avoidance of doubt, all Reinsured Liabilities reinsured by Purchaser under and pursuant to the Reinsurance Agreement, which will be governed by the terms of the Reinsurance Agreement), regardless of when asserted (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”).

(d) all Liabilities arising out of, in connection with or under contracts to which Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party other than Liabilities relating to periods (or portions thereof) beginning from or after the Closing under the Assigned Contracts, the Assigned Lease and any other contracts included in the Transferred Assets (which such Liabilities shall be Assumed Liabilities);

(e) Seller Retention Bonus Liabilities; and

(f) Liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates related to any Permitted Liens on the Transferred Assets.

Section 2.06. Place and Date of Closing. Unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day after the date on which the last of the conditions set forth in Article VIII to be satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) shall have been so satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement (the “Condition Satisfaction”); provided , however , that if the Condition Satisfaction occurs less than ten Business Days prior to the first Business Day of the next calendar month, then the Closing shall take place on the first Business Day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month in which the Condition Satisfaction occurs.

	(ii)	The “Transferred Portfolio” will be determined as follows:



	(A)	if the Accounting Value of the Specified Portfolio as of the Closing Date equals the Closing Required Asset Value, the Transferred Portfolio will comprise all, and only, the cash and Investment Assets in the Specified Portfolio as of immediately prior to the Closing;



	(B)	if the Accounting Value of the Specified Portfolio as of the Closing Date is less than the Closing Required Asset Value, the Transferred Portfolio will comprise (x) all of the cash and Investment Assets in the Specified Portfolio as of immediately prior to the Closing and (y) cash or other Investment Assets selected by Seller in accordance with the Pre-Closing Investment Guidelines that have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such shortfall; and



	(C)	if the Accounting Value of the Specified Portfolio as of the Closing Date is greater than the Closing Required Asset Value, Seller will select for removal from the Specified Portfolio cash or Investment Assets that have an aggregate Accounting Value equal to such excess in accordance with the Selection Waterfall. The cash and Investment Assets remaining in the Specified Portfolio after such removal will be the Transferred Portfolio.



	(iii)	Concurrently with the delivery by Seller to Purchaser of the calculation of the Estimated Closing Required Asset Value pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.07(d) , Seller will also deliver to Purchaser (A) a schedule showing the cash and Investment Assets in the Transferred Portfolio and its estimated calculation of the aggregate Accounting Value of the cash and Investment Assets in the Transferred Portfolio as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Asset Value Statement”), and (B) a calculation of Seller’s estimate of the Required Balance (as defined in the Reinsurance Agreement) as of the Closing Date based on amounts set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement and calculated using the aggregate FMV-Ex Accrued and the aggregate Book Value of the Transferred Portfolio (the “Estimated Required Balance”).

	(A)	if on the Closing Date the aggregate Fair Market Value of the cash and Investment Assets in the Transferred Portfolio exceeds the Estimated Required Balance, then Seller shall cause the Ceding Company (or AHLIC on behalf of the Ceding Company) to transfer to Purchaser cash or Investment Assets from the Transferred Portfolio selected by Purchaser with a Fair Market Value equal to such excess and shall cause the Ceding Company (or AHLIC on behalf of the Ceding Company) to transfer the remainder of the cash and Investment Assets in the Transferred Portfolio to the Trust Account; and



	(B)	if on the Closing Date the aggregate Fair Market Value of the cash and Investment Assets in the Transferred Portfolio is less than the Estimated Required Balance, Purchaser shall, at the Closing, transfer to the Trust Account Authorized Investments (as defined in the Trust Agreement) having a Fair Market Value as of the Closing Date equal to such shortfall.

(d) Notwithstanding the delivery by Seller or Purchaser of any counterpart to the Portland Location Assignment Agreement or any Sublease pursuant to Section 2.08(a) or Section 2.08(b) , as applicable, such counterparts shall not be effective at the Closing but shall instead be held in escrow and not become effective with respect to such agreement unless and until, and shall become effective with respect to such agreement only if (i) the applicable Lease Consent is obtained on or prior to December 31, 2017 and (ii) the Employee Lease Term has expired or been terminated. If the foregoing conditions to the effectiveness of the counterparts to the Portland Location Assignment Agreement or any such Sublease are not satisfied, then, upon the expiration or termination of the Employee Lease Term, the applicable agreement to which such counterparts relate shall be deemed not to have been executed by the parties thereto and shall be void and have no force or effect. If the Portland Location Assignment Agreement is deemed not to have been executed in accordance with the prior sentence, then: (i) the Assigned Lease shall be deemed not to be a Transferred Asset or Assigned Contract hereunder; (ii) Seller shall have no Liability to any Purchaser Indemnified Person by virtue of the fact that the Assigned Lease is not a Transferred Asset or Assigned Contract hereunder; and (iii) the Liabilities of Seller and its Affiliates under the Assigned Lease shall not be Assumed Liabilities hereunder; provided , that the foregoing shall not affect either party’s obligations under Article V , including Section 5.12 , or any rights to indemnification under Article X arising out of any breach by the other party of its obligations under Article V.

Section 2.09. Adjustment to Initial Transfer Amount after Closing.

(a) Within 90 days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser: (i) a Closing Statement as of the Accounting Date (the “Initial Closing Statement”), which shall be prepared in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles applied consistently with their application in connection with the preparation of the Reference Closing Statement and be in the same format as the Reference Closing Statement; (ii) Seller’s determination of the Accounting Value of the Transferred Portfolio as of the Accounting Date (the “Initial Asset Value Statement”); and (iii) Seller’s calculation of the Closing Required Asset Value based on the amounts set forth on the Initial Closing Statement and the Initial Asset Value Statement and taking into account all Capital Gain or Loss Adjustments and all Reallocated Asset Value Adjustments required from the Reference Date through the Closing Date (the

“Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement”). Each of the Initial Closing Statement, Initial Asset Value Statement and the Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement will be accompanied by reasonably detailed supporting documentation relating to the amounts and calculations therein. Each of the amounts set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement, the Initial Closing Statement and the Final Closing Statement shall not include any interest maintenance reserve related to the transfer of Investment Assets from AHLIC to the Ceding Company in connection with the Pre-Closing Commutation; provided , that the foregoing shall not affect the inclusion of such amounts in the calculation of the “Closing Date IMR Amount” under the Reinsurance Agreement.

(b) During the 60 days immediately following Purchaser’s receipt of the Initial Closing Statement, the Initial Asset Value Statement and the Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement (the “Review Period”), Purchaser and its Representatives shall be permitted to review Sellers’s working papers and any working papers of Seller’s independent accountants directly relating to the preparation of the Initial Closing Statement, the Initial Asset Value Statement and the Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement, as well as all of the Books and Records and other relevant information or documents relating to the operations and finances of the Business with respect to the period up to and including the Closing Date, and Seller shall make available the individuals in its or its Affiliates’ employ who are responsible for and knowledgeable about the information used in, and the preparation or calculation (as applicable) of, the Initial Closing Statement, the Initial Asset Value Statement and the Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement in order to respond to the inquiries of Purchaser; provided , however , that the independent accountants of Seller shall not be obligated to make any working papers available to Purchaser unless and until Purchaser has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants.

(c) If Purchaser disagrees with the Initial Closing Statement, the Initial Asset Value Statement or the Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement (including any amount or computation set forth therein) in any respect and on any basis (including that the representations and warranties in Section 3.18(d) or the covenants in Section 5.11 were breached), Purchaser may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a notice to Seller setting forth, in reasonable detail, each disputed item or amount and the basis for Purchaser’s disagreement therewith (the “Notice of Disagreement”). The Notice of Disagreement shall set forth, with respect to each disputed item, Purchaser’s position as to the correct amount or computation that should have been included in the Initial Closing Statement, the Initial Asset Value Statement or the Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement. If Purchaser does not deliver a Notice of Disagreement with respect to the Initial Closing Statement, the Initial Asset Value Statement or the Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement to Seller by the end of the Review Period, the Initial Closing Statement, the Initial Asset Value Statement or the Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement, as applicable, shall become final and binding on the parties.

(d) During the 20 Business Days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Seller and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve any disagreement that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement.

(e) If, at the end of such 20 Business Day period, Seller and Purchaser have been unable to resolve all disagreements that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, then Seller and Purchaser shall submit all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Notice of Disagreement (along with a copy of the applicable Initial Closing Statement, the Initial Asset Value Statement and the Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement marked to indicate those line items that are in dispute) to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or, if PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is unwilling or unable to serve, another independent certified public accounting firm in the United States of international recognition mutually agreeable to Seller and Purchaser and that is not the auditor or independent accounting firm of any of the parties (the “Independent Accountant”), to make a determination with respect to all matters in dispute.

(f) Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to render a determination within 30 days after the submission of such matters to the Independent Accountant or as soon as practicable thereafter. Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) after the Independent Accountant’s engagement, each submit to the Independent Accountant their respective computations of the disputed items identified in the Notice of Disagreement and information, arguments and support for their respective positions, and shall concurrently deliver a copy of such materials to the other party. Each party shall then be given an opportunity to supplement the information, arguments and support included in its initial submission with one additional submission to respond to any arguments or positions taken by the other party in such other party’s initial submission, which supplemental information shall be submitted to the Independent Accountant (with a copy thereof to the other party) within 10 Business Days after the first date on which both parties have submitted their respective initial submissions to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall thereafter be permitted to request additional or clarifying information from the parties, and each of the parties shall cooperate and shall cause their Representatives to cooperate with such requests of the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall determine, based solely on the materials so presented by the parties and upon information received in response to such requests for additional or clarifying information and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute specifically set forth in the Notice of Disagreement and shall render a written report to Seller and Purchaser in which the Independent Accountant shall, after considering all matters set forth in the Notice of Disagreement, determine what adjustments, if any, should be made to the amounts and computations set forth in the Initial Closing Statement, Initial Asset Value Statement and the Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement solely as to the disputed items. Such written report shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the determination of the Independent Accountant with respect to each of the disputed line items specified in the Notice of Disagreement and the revisions, if any, to be made to the Initial Closing Statement, the Initial Asset Value Statement or the Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement resulting therefrom, together with supporting calculations. With respect to each disputed line item, such determination shall be made in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles and the terms of this Agreement and, if not in accordance with the position of either Seller or Purchaser, shall not be in excess of the highest amount proposed by either party, nor less than the lowest amount proposed by either party, in the Notice of Disagreement, the Initial Closing Statement, the Initial Asset Value Statement or the Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement with respect to such disputed line item. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant shall

not review any line items or make any determination with respect to any matter other than those matters in the Notice of Disagreement that remain in dispute. The Independent Accountant’s final written determination shall, absent fraud or manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Seller and Purchaser, shall not be subject to review by a court or other tribunal and shall have the same force and effect as an arbitration award governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et. seq. The “Final Closing Statement” means the Initial Closing Statement as made final and binding either pursuant to Section 2.09(c) or after it has been modified to reflect any revisions thereto made through the mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller or through the determination of the Independent Accountant pursuant to this Section 2.09(f). The “Final Asset Value Statement” means the Initial Asset Value Statement as made final and binding either pursuant to Section 2.09(c) or after it has been modified to reflect any revisions thereto made through the mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller or through the determination of the Independent Accountant pursuant to this Section 2.09(f). The “Final Closing Required Asset Value Statement” means the Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement as made final and binding either pursuant to Section 2.09(c) or after it has been modified to reflect any revisions thereto made through mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller or through the determination of the Independent Accountant pursuant to this Section 2.09(f) , and the “Final Closing Required Asset Value” is the Closing Required Asset Value as set forth on the Final Closing Required Asset Value Statement.

(g) The cost of the Independent Accountant’s review and determination shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser. During the review by the Independent Accountant, Seller and Purchaser shall each make available to the Independent Accountant such individuals and such information, books, records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accountant to fulfill its obligations under Sections 2.09(e) and 2.09(f); provided , however , that the independent accountants of Seller or Purchaser shall not be obligated to make any working papers available to the Independent Accountant unless and until the Independent Accountant has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants. In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accountant shall be entitled to the privileges and immunities of an arbitrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 2.09 represent the sole and exclusive method for determining the Final Closing Statement, the Final Asset Value Statement, the Final Closing Required Asset Value Statement and the Final Closing Required Asset Value.

(h) Seller shall, following the Closing through the date that the Final Closing Statement, the Final Asset Value Statement and the Final Closing Required Asset Value Statement become final and binding on the parties in accordance with the last three sentences of Section 2.09(f) , take all actions necessary to maintain and preserve all accounting books, records, policies and procedures on which the Initial Closing Statement, Initial Asset Value Statement and Initial Closing Required Asset Value Statement are based or on which the Final Closing Statement, Final Asset Value Statement or Final Closing Required Asset Value Statement are to be based so as not to impede or delay the final determination of the amounts set forth therein.

Section 2.10. Post-Closing Adjustments.

(a) The following adjustments will be made based on the amounts set forth on the Final Closing Statement, Final Asset Value Statement and Final Closing Required Asset Value Statement:



	(i)	Purchaser shall pay to the Ceding Company the True-Up Amount, if positive; or



	(ii)	Seller shall cause the Ceding Company to pay into the Trust Account the absolute value of the True-Up Amount, if negative.

(b) Payment of any amounts due under Section 2.10(a) shall be made within five Business Days after the date on which all three of the Final Closing Statement, the Final Asset Value Statement and Final Closing Required Asset Value Statement have become such in accordance with the last three sentences of Section 2.09(f) by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Confidentiality Agreement shall restrict, prohibit or delay the ability of Seller or Purchaser to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreements.

Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, and the other party shall have the right to have a representative or representatives attend or otherwise participate in any such meeting, telephone call, or other conference unless prohibited by Applicable Law.

Section 5.11. Pre-Closing Management of Specified Portfolio.

(a) Monthly Asset Value Statements and Related Adjustments.



	(i)	After the end of each calendar month that occurs between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller shall estimate in good faith the Adjusted Required Asset Value and the Accounting Value of the Specified Portfolio as of the end of such month and deliver to Purchaser a statement (each, a “Monthly Asset Value Statement”) specifying such Adjusted Required Asset Value and Accounting Value as of the end of such month, provided that no such Monthly Asset Value Statement shall be so prepared or delivered with respect to the month preceding the month in which the Closing occurs.



	(ii)	If the Accounting Value of the Specified Portfolio set forth in a Monthly Asset Value Statement is less than the Adjusted Required Asset Value set forth in such Monthly Asset Value Statement, Seller shall (or shall cause the Ceding Company or AHLIC to), promptly following the delivery of such Monthly Asset Value Statement to Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.11(a)(i) , acquire or, subject to Section 5.11(c) below, designate for

inclusion in the Specified Portfolio additional cash or Investment Assets with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such shortfall.



	(iii)	If the Accounting Value of the Specified Portfolio set forth in a Monthly Asset Value Statement is greater than the Adjusted Required Asset Value set forth in such Monthly Asset Value Statement, Seller may, at its option and in its sole discretion, select for removal from the Specified Portfolio cash or Investment Assets that have an aggregate Accounting Value equal to such excess as follows (clauses (A) and (B) below, the “Selection Waterfall”):



	(A)	cash and cash equivalents in the Specified Portfolio will be selected first; and



	(B)	otherwise, Investment Assets will be selected in an order of shortest stated maturity to longest stated maturity, determined in each case in good faith by Seller.



	(iv)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller may (and may cause the Ceding Company or AHLIC to) sell any Investment Asset in the Specified Portfolio if Seller determines in good faith that such Investment Asset has become, or is reasonably likely to become, impaired. In the event of any such sale of an impaired asset, Seller shall (or shall cause the Ceding Company or AHLIC to), as promptly as practicable following such sale (with a target of within one Business Day), acquire or designate for inclusion in the Specified Portfolio cash or replacement Investment Assets with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Accounting Value of the Investment Asset sold in such sale, determined prior to any adjustment as a result of the impairment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Capital Gain or Loss Adjustment (as defined in clause (b) below) does not apply to sales of Investment Asset pursuant to this Section 5.11(a)(iv) , but the Reallocated Asset Value Adjustment (as defined in Section 5.11(c) below) does apply to any Reallocated Investment Asset that replaces such an Investment Asset.



	(v)	Any changes to the Specified Portfolio contemplated by this Section 5.11(a) will be effected in accordance with Pre-Closing Investment Guidelines.

(b) Discretionary Turnover Allowance.



	(i)	Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller may, at its option and in its sole discretion, sell:



	(A)	any bond in the Specified Portfolio that has an option adjusted duration of 3.00 years or less as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which it is sold, determined in accordance with the OAD model provided by

Bloomberg L.P.’s Portfolio & Risk Analytics solution (PORT); and



	(B)	an additional (x) 5% of the aggregate Specified Portfolio (where such percentage is determined by reference to the Accounting Value of the Specified Portfolio as of the Reference Date and sales are measured by Accounting Value of the sold Investment Assets as of the applicable sale dates) during the period between the Reference Date through December 31, 2017; and (y) if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to December 31, 2017, 1% of the Specified Portfolio (where such percentage is determined by reference to the Accounting Value of the Specified Portfolio as of the beginning of each applicable month and sales are measured by Accounting Value of the sold Investment Assets as of the applicable sale dates) during each calendar month, or portion thereof, that between December 31, 2017 and the Closing (this Section 5.11(b)(i) collectively, the “Discretionary Turnover Allowance”);

provided , however , that the sales described in (A) and (B) above may not, in the aggregate, exceed 10% of the Specified Portfolio through November 30, 2017, plus 2% of the Specified Portfolio for every calendar month after November 2017.



	(ii)	On the date that any Investment Asset in the Specified Portfolio is sold pursuant to this Section 5.11(b) , the Adjusted Required Asset Value as of such date will, in addition to any adjustment to the Required Asset Value required under the Transaction Accounting Principles to account for any change in the interest maintenance reserve of the Ceding Company or AHLIC, as applicable, resulting from such sale, be adjusted as set forth below (each of the adjustments described in (A) and (B) below, a “Capital Gain or Loss Adjustment”):



	(A)	if the sale of the Investment Asset generates a (statutory basis) capital gain (calculated as the excess, if any, of the FMV Ex-Accrued of such Investment Asset as of the applicable date of sale over the Book Value of such Investment Asset as of such date), the Adjusted Required Asset Value as of such date will be increased by the amount of such capital gain, less the amount of any interest maintenance reserve of the Ceding Company or AHLIC, as applicable, generated by the sale of such asset in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles; and



	(B)	if the sale of the Investment Asset generates a (statutory basis) capital loss (calculated as the excess, if any, of the Book Value of such Investment Asset as of the applicable date of sale over the FMV Ex-Accrued of such Investment Asset as of such date), the

Adjusted Required Asset Value as of such date will be decreased by an amount equal to (A) the absolute value of such capital loss minus (B) the absolute value of any decrease in interest maintenance reserve of the Ceding Company or AHLIC, as applicable, resulting from the sale of such asset in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles.



	(iii)	In the event that Seller elects to sell any Investment Asset pursuant to this Section 5.11(b) , Seller shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable (with a target of within one Business Day) reinvest the gross proceeds it receives from such sale (less the amount of such gross proceeds that is attributable to accrued but unpaid interest on such Investment Asset) in the Specified Portfolio by either acquiring one or more new Investment Assets or, subject to Section 5.11(c) below, selecting for inclusion in the Specified Portfolio one or more Reallocated Investment Assets, in each case that have an aggregate FMV Ex-Accrued equal to the amount of such gross proceeds (less the amount of such gross proceeds that is attributable to accrued but unpaid interest on such Investment Asset).



	(iv)	Any changes to the Specified Portfolio contemplated by this Section 5.11(b) will be effected in accordance with the Pre-Closing Investment Guidelines.

(c) Reallocated Investment Assets. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, any Reallocated Investment Asset is designated for inclusion in the Specified Portfolio pursuant to Section 5.11(a) or Section 5.11(b) , then the following adjustment shall be made to the Adjusted Required Asset Value as of the date of such designation (each of the adjustments described in (i) and (ii) below, a “Reallocated Asset Value Adjustment”):



	(i)	if the FMV Ex-Accrued of the Reallocated Investment Asset as of such date exceeds the Book Value of such Reallocated Investment Assets as of such date, the Adjusted Required Asset Value shall be decreased by the amount of such excess; and



	(ii)	if the FMV Ex-Accrued of the Reallocated Investment Asset as of such date is less than the Book Value of such Reallocated Investment Asset as of such date, the Adjusted Required Asset Value shall be increased by the amount of such shortfall.

Section 5.12. Properties.

(a) Schedule VI hereto sets forth all real property at which Employees of the Business use space for the current operation and conduct of the Business (collectively, the “Properties”). The Properties are separated on Schedule VI into the following two (2) categories: (1) the Properties that Seller intends, and agrees to cooperate as required in Section 5.12(b) to enable, Purchaser and such Employees to have the right to occupy or use (in the case of the Subleases, on a co-location basis with Seller, its Affiliates and their respective employees)

The Employees’ job location between the Closing Date and the expiration of the Employee Lease Term shall remain at the Properties pursuant to the Employee Leasing Agreement.

(b) Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, on or prior to December 31, 2017, the required consent of (i) the landlord of the Portland Location to the assignment of the Assigned Lease pursuant to the Portland Location Assignment Agreement and (ii) the respective landlords of the other Occupied Properties to the subleasing of such locations to Purchaser pursuant to the Subleases, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and therein (collectively, the “Lease Consents”). Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other as may be reasonably required to obtain the Lease Consents.

(c) If any such Lease Consent is not obtained on or prior to December 31, 2017, then, (i) the Portland Location Assignment Agreement and/or any applicable Sublease to which such Lease Consent was not obtained shall not become effective as of the expiration or termination of the Employee Lease Term and (ii) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, obtain alternative office space, at its sole cost and expense, and vacate the applicable Occupied Properties for which a Lease Consent has not been obtained prior to the expiration of the Employee Lease Term for such applicable Occupied Properties as provided for in this Section 5.12(c).

Purchaser shall take, or cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonably necessary steps to sponsor or transfer sponsorship of, the work permits for all

Each such foreign national Employee who accepted an offer of employment from Purchaser or an Affiliate pursuant to the terms hereof shall be considered a Transferred Employee on the later of the Transfer Date or the date such Employee obtains the necessary authorization to work for Purchaser and its Affiliates and commences active employment with Purchaser and its Affiliates.

(c) Purchaser or its Affiliate shall set forth in the Transfer Offers the proposed terms of employment (or service) for the Employees and, as of the expiration of the Employee Lease Term and for a period of 12 months immediately following the expiration of the Employee Lease Term (or such earlier date on which such Employee’s employment with Purchaser or its Affiliate terminates), Purchaser or its Affiliate shall provide each Transferred Employee with the following terms of employment (or service): (i) base salary (or wages) no less than the base salary (or wages) provided to such Employee by Seller or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date, or, if later, as of the Employee’s date of hire; (ii) annual incentive opportunities no less than those provided by Seller or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date, or, if later, as of the Employee’s date of hire, (iii) a long-term incentive compensation opportunity (whether paid in cash or equity) at a similar range and participation rate to that provided to such Employee by Seller or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date or, if later, as of the Employee’s date of hire; (iv) commission opportunities that are no less than those provided to such Employee by Seller or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date or, if later, as of the Employee’s date of hire, including, with respect to each individual set forth on Section 6.01(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (each, a “Listed Sales Employee”), guaranteed commission opportunities consistent with the terms of the retention letter with each such Listed Sales Employee set forth on Section 3.10(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, but in each case to be paid consistent with Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s standard payroll cycle; (iii) employee retirement and welfare (including paid time off) benefits, in each case, substantially similar to those provided to similarly-situated employees of Purchaser or its Affiliate; and (iv) with respect to Employees whose job location is a home-office as of the Closing Date, the ability to continue to work from such home-office, and with respect to all other Employees, a job location that does not increase such Employee’s commute by more than 30 miles when compared to the commute from such Employee’s residence to the job location to which such Employee reports immediately prior to the expiration of the Closing Date, or if later, as of the Employee’s date of hire, or provide the Employee the ability to work from a home-office. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that if the Employee Lease Term extends past Lessee’s regularly scheduled long-term incentive grant date in the first quarter of calendar year 2018, Purchaser shall, during the first “open window” trading period following the expiration of the Employee Lease Term, grant an award to each Transferred Employee who is eligible to earn a long-term incentive award for calendar year 2018. Employment or service, as applicable, pursuant to a Transfer Offer shall be contingent upon such Employee (i) being employed by (or providing on-going services with) Seller or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the expiration of the Employee Lease Term, (ii) satisfying required professional licensure requirements (to the extent applicable), (iii) successfully completing a background check, I-9 form/eVerify process, and all applicable Purchaser new hire documentation and (iv) with respect to Employees who are foreign nationals, obtaining the necessary authorization to work for

Purchaser or its Affiliates within six (6) months of the expiration of the Employee Lease Term. All employment offers shall be for employment at-will and nothing in this Article VI shall require Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to continue to employ any Transferred Employee for any specified period of time following the expiration of the Employee Lease Term. Except as set forth in Section 6.01(b) , each Employee who accepts Purchaser’s Transfer Offer shall be a “Transferred Employee” at 12:00:01 a.m. on the first day following the expiration of the Employee Lease Term. Effective as of the date they become Transferred Employees (the “Transfer Date”), such Transferred Employees shall cease to be employees of Seller and its Affiliates and shall cease any further participation in (and shall cease to accrue benefits under) Employee Benefit Plans, subject to the terms and conditions of the Employee Benefit Plans and Applicable Law.

(d) As of the expiration of the Employee Lease Term, in no event shall any Employee be entitled to accrue any benefits under the Employee Benefit Plans with respect to services rendered or compensation paid on or after the expiration of the Employee Lease Term, subject to the terms and conditions of the Employee Benefit Plans and Applicable Law.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Transferred Employee who incurs a termination of employment during the 12-month period immediately following the expiration of the Employee Lease Term shall be entitled to receive severance payments and benefits that are no less favorable than the severance payments and benefits provided to similarly-situated employees of Purchaser or its Affiliates under the Purchaser severance plan as in effect immediately prior to the date hereof and set forth on Section 6.01(e) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule; provided , however, that in lieu of the thirty (30) day paid notice period applicable to similarly-situated employees of Purchaser, Transferred Employees will be entitled to a nine (9) week paid non-working period with benefits continuation during such period.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser or its Affiliate shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities arising from, related to or based upon the termination of any Employee who is terminated by Seller or its respective Affiliates on or after the expiration of the Employee Lease Term in the event such employee is not offered employment or service with Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.01. Purchaser or its Affiliate shall be solely responsible for providing all notices required under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2109 et seq., or the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “WARN Act”) (including comparable state, local or other Applicable Laws) and for taking all remedial measures, including, without limitation, the payment of all amounts, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses if such notices are not provided, with respect to any obligations under the WARN Act (including comparable state, local or other Applicable Laws) arising out of or resulting from any termination of employment of any Transferred Employees by Purchaser and its Affiliates on or after the expiration of the Employee Lease Term.

(g) Purchaser shall cause its Affiliate to: (i) permit each Transferred Employee participating in each Employee Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution plan with a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) to effect, and (ii) cause its defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash

or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”) to accept, in accordance with Applicable Law, a “direct rollover” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of his or her account balances (including earnings thereon through the date of transfer) under the Seller 401(k) Plan if such rollover to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan is elected in accordance with Applicable Law by such Transferred Employee.

(h) Subject to any reimbursement or other obligations of Purchaser or its Affiliates agreed upon pursuant to the Employee Leasing Agreement, Seller shall retain responsibility for all liabilities under and with respect to, and claims incurred under, the Employee Benefit Plans (including those relating to Transferred Employees and their covered dependents). Purchaser or its Affiliate shall be responsible for all liabilities under and with respect to, and claims incurred under, any employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including those relating to Transferred Employees and their covered dependents).

(i) Unless Seller or one of its Affiliates is required under Applicable Law to make a payment in settlement of accrued paid time off of a Transferred Employee, (i) Purchaser or its Affiliate shall assume, recognize and provide each Transferred Employee up to forty (40) hours of the Transferred Employee’s earned but unused paid time-off as of the expiration of the Employee Lease Term as determined under Seller’s policy in effect as of the expiration of the Employee Lease Term and (ii) Seller or one of its Affiliates shall make a payment in settlement of accrued paid time off of any such Transferred Employee in excess of forty (40) hours in accordance with Seller’s paid time off policy and Applicable Law.

(j) Purchaser or its Affiliate shall assume and pay, the accrued but unpaid annual cash bonuses with respect to performance in the calendar year ending December 31, 2017. In respect thereof, the following shall be accrued on the Initial Closing Statement: (i) accruals for ten-twelfths (10/12) of such annual cash bonuses, assuming maximum (140%) performance, and (ii) accruals representing the matching contribution that would have been made under Seller 401(k) Plan with respect to the bonus amounts accrued pursuant to Section 6.01(j)(i). In no event shall the amount of such payment by Purchaser to the Transferred Employees in the aggregate be less than the aggregate amount set forth with respect to such bonuses in the Initial Closing Statement as described in Section 6.01(j)(i).

(k) Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, make available to the Transferred Employees a flex spending account plan for medical and dependent care expenses under a new or existing plan established or maintained under Section 125 and Section 129 of the Code (the “Purchaser FSA”), effective as of the expiration of the Employee Lease Term and in accordance with this Section 6.01(k). If the Employee Lease Term ends after December 31, 2017, Purchaser, or one of its Affiliates, shall credit the applicable account under the Purchaser FSA of each Transferred Employee participating in the Seller Employee Benefit Plan maintained pursuant to Section 125 and Section 129 of the Code (the “Seller FSA” ) with an amount equal to the balance of such Transferred Employee’s account under the Seller FSA immediately prior to the expiration of the Employee Lease Term, in accordance with the following:

(i)

If the aggregate amount withheld from Transferred Employees’ compensation under the Seller FSA for 2018 exceeds the aggregate amount of reimbursements paid to Transferred Employees prior to the expiration of the Employee Lease Term under the Seller FSA for claims incurred in 2018, Seller shall transfer (or cause to be transferred) to Purchaser within 30 days after the expiration of the Employee Lease Term a cash payment equal to such excess, if any.

(ii)

If the aggregate amount of reimbursements paid to Transferred Employees prior to the expiration of the Employee Lease Term under the Seller FSA for claims incurred in 2018 exceeds the aggregate amount withheld from Transferred Employees’ compensation under the Seller FSA for 2018 prior to the expiration of the Employee Lease Term, Purchaser shall transfer (or cause to be transferred) to Seller within 30 days after the expiration of the Employee Lease Term a cash payment equal to such excess, if any.

(iii)

In each case, Purchaser shall assume and be solely responsible for all claims for reimbursement by Transferred Employees for 2018 that have not been paid in full as of the expiration of the Employee Lease Term, which claims shall be paid pursuant to and under the terms of the Purchaser FSA, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from any and all claims by or with respect to Transferred Employees for reimbursement under the Seller FSA that have not been paid in full as of the expiration of the Employee Lease Term; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnification shall not apply to any claims that were adjudicated under the terms of the Seller FSA on or prior to the expiration of the Employee Lease Term. Purchaser agrees to cause the Purchaser FSA to honor through the end of the calendar year in which the Employee Lease Term expires the elections made by each Transferred Employee under the Seller FSA in respect of the flexible spending reimbursement accounts under the Purchaser FSA that are in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the Employee Lease Term, subject to each Transferred Employee’s ability to adjust such elections pursuant to the terms of the Purchaser FSA. For the avoidance of doubt, except as provided herein, (A) in no event shall Seller or any of its Affiliates have any liability or obligation under the Purchaser FSA, and (B) any Transferred Employee who elects coverage under a high deductible health plan may be ineligible to make continuing elections under the Purchaser health care FSA pursuant to the terms of such plans.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Employee Lease Term ends on December 31, 2017, Purchaser shall have no obligation to provide credits as described in this Section 6.01(k).

(l) In respect of each Employee who becomes a Transferred Employee, Seller and Purchaser shall adopt the “standard procedure” for preparing and filing IRS Forms W-2 (Wage

and Tax Statements), as described in Revenue Procedure 2004-53. Under this procedure, Purchaser, as successor employer, shall provide, as applicable, all required Forms W-2 to all Employees who become Transferred Employees reflecting only wages paid and Taxes withheld by Purchaser and its Affiliates as the successor employer. In addition, Seller and Purchaser shall adopt the “standard procedure” of Revenue Procedure 2004-53 for purposes of filing IRS Forms W-4 (Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate) and W-5 (Earned Income Credit Advance Payment Certificate).

(m) Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall grant during the first “open window” trading period following the expiration of the Employee Lease Term new awards, payable in cash or in stock (each, a “New Award”), vesting over two (2) years, to each Transferred Employee who, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, forfeits restricted share units, performance share units or stock appreciation rights that were granted pursuant to any Employee Benefit Plan prior to the date hereof and are not vested as of the expiration of the Employee Lease Term (each, a “Seller Forfeited Equity Award”). The value of the New Awards will be no less than the value of the Seller Forfeited Equity Awards, both individually and in the aggregate. Seller shall provide Purchaser with a schedule of the value of each Seller Forfeited Equity Award as soon as practicable following the termination of the Employee Lease Term.

(n) Purchaser agrees to cause its Affiliate to (i) provide coverage for the Transferred Employees under its employee benefit plans as of the applicable Transfer Date, (ii) waive any preexisting conditions, waiting periods and actively at work requirements under such plans and (iii) cause such plans to honor any expenses incurred by the Transferred Employees and their beneficiaries under similar Employee Benefit Plans during the portion of the calendar year in which the Transfer Date occurs for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, co-insurance and maximum out-of-pocket expenses. Transferred Employees shall be given credit under each employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement of Purchaser in which the Transferred Employees are eligible to participate for all service with Seller (to the extent such credit was given by the applicable Employee Benefit Plan) for all purposes (except that no benefit accrual will be provided under any defined benefit pension plans), except to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits.

(o) The parties hereto shall coordinate with each other prior to the Closing Date as to the form and content of any material, broad based communication from Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to the Employees. Seller acknowledges, understands and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that Purchaser shall, from the date hereof, be allowed to approach and meet with all Employees. Seller and its Affiliates shall permit Purchaser reasonable access to all Employees; provided, that such access shall not interfere with the operations of the Business, and that when on Seller premises, Purchaser shall abide by any Seller security protocols. In no event shall Purchaser or any of its employees have access to the systems of Seller.

(p) Seller, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall promptly take all steps necessary to fulfill their obligations, and to cause their applicable employee benefit plans to fulfill the obligations that Seller and Purchaser have agreed to pursuant to this Section 6.01. All transfers of information required by this Section 6.01 shall be made at the time and in the manner (including applicable file format) as reasonably requested by Purchaser or its applicable vendor.

In furtherance thereof, Seller shall provide to Purchaser a complete employee data file, in the format and with the elements prescribed by Purchaser, no later than October 23, 2017.

(q) Seller shall be solely responsible for and shall discharge all retention bonuses under Business Employee Benefit Plans that become vested at or prior to the termination of the Employee Lease Term (“Seller Retention Bonus Liabilities”).

Section 6.02. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VI , this Article VI is not intended to and shall not (a) create any third party rights, (b) amend any Employee Benefit Plan or Business Employee Benefit Plan, (iii) require Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to continue any Business Employee Benefit Plan beyond the time when it otherwise lawfully could be terminated or modified, or (d) require Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to continue to employ any Transferred Employee for any specified period, or (e) provide any Transferred Employee with any rights to continued employment, severance pay or similar benefits following any termination of employment.

As soon as practicable following the date on which the Final Closing Statement becomes final and binding on the parties pursuant to Section 2.09(f) , Seller shall prepare a schedule reflecting the allocation of the Allocable Amount and shall submit such allocation to Purchaser for review.

Within 30 days after receipt thereof, the Independent Accountant will deliver the allocation schedule and provide a written description of the basis for its determination of the allocations therein (such allocations, whether agreed to by Purchaser and Seller or determined by the Independent Accountant (the “Final Allocation”) shall be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and Seller and the parties will report, and will cause their respective Affiliates to report, the federal, state, local and other Tax consequences of the transactions, including the filing of Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, in a manner consistent with such Final Allocation). One-half of all fees, costs and expenses of retaining the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Seller and one-half of such fees, costs and expenses of retaining the Independent Accountant shall be borne by 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 relating to rulings or other determinations by Tax Authorities. Each party and its Affiliates shall make its employees available on a basis mutually convenient to both parties to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder.

breach of any Seller Specified Representation) or Section 10.02(b)(i) (other than with respect to a breach of any Purchaser Specified Representation), as the case may be, that is in excess of the Deductible, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X; provided , however , that any Indemnifiable Losses of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons resulting from or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.03 shall not be subject to the Deductible, and the Threshold Amount for such Indemnifiable Losses shall be $50,000; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Indemnifiable Losses shall be subject to the Threshold Amount and the maximum aggregate liability set forth in the following sentence prior to the proviso set forth therein.

Section 10.05. Procedures for Third Party Claims.

(a) If any Indemnitee receives notice of assertion or commencement of any Third Party Claim against such Indemnitee in respect of which an Indemnitor may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give such Indemnitor reasonably prompt written notice (but in no event later than 30 days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim) thereof and such notice shall include a reasonable description of the claim based on the facts known at the time and any documents relating to the claim and an estimate of the Indemnifiable Loss and shall reference the specific sections of this Agreement that form the basis of such claim to the extent reasonably ascertainable; provided , that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying any Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such delay (except that the Indemnitor shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnitee failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnitor, within five Business Days after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) The Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the

Indemnitor. Should the Indemnitor so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall not as long as it conducts such defense be liable to the Indemnitee for legal expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof subsequent to the Indemnitor notifying the Indemnitee in writing of its election to assume such defense. If the Indemnitor assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnitor, it being understood that the Indemnitor shall control such defense. The Indemnitor shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee (A) for any period during which the Indemnitor has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnitee shall have not yet given notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above) or (B) if the Third Party Claim involves conflicts of interest for the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor (in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee) that would make representation by the same counsel inappropriate, in which event the Indemnitor shall be responsible for only one counsel for the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, the other party hereto shall cooperate in the defense thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnitor’s request) the provision to the Indemnitor of records and information that are relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided , in each case, that such other party shall not be obligated to provide such records, information or access to Indemnitor if doing so would violate Applicable Law or jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege. Whether or not the Indemnitor shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or pay, settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnitor has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor may only pay, settle, compromise or discharge a Third Party Claim with the Indemnitee’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided , that the Indemnitor may pay, settle, compromise or discharge such a Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnitee if such settlement (i) includes a release of the Indemnitee from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (ii) does not subject the Indemnitee to any injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, (iii) does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnitee and (iv) does not impose any financial cost on the Indemnitee (other than by application of the limitations set forth in Section 10.03(a) ). If the Indemnitor submits to the Indemnitee a bona fide settlement offer with respect to a Third Party Claim that has been accepted by all Persons bringing such Third Party Claim and otherwise satisfies the requirements set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence and the Indemnitee refuses to consent to such settlement, then thereafter the Indemnitor’s liability to the Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the Indemnitor’s portion of the settlement amount included in such settlement offer.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall have the sole right to represent the interests of the Business and settle all issues in its sole discretion, and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense, in any audit or other examination or administrative or court proceeding relating to Taxes for all taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date; provided , that Seller shall not pay, discharge, settle, compromise, litigate or otherwise dispose of any item subject to such Tax proceedings in a manner that will

adversely affect Purchaser or any of its Affiliates without obtaining the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Seller’s rights set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in the conduct of any Tax audit and any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to any such Tax audit that may adversely affect Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

Section 10.06. Direct Claims. The Indemnitor will have a period of 30 days within which to respond in writing to any claim by an Indemnitee on account of an Indemnifiable Loss that does not result from a Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitor does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnitor will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnitee will be entitled to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee.

Section 10.07. Sole Remedy. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, except as (a) set forth in Section 11.14 , (b) as expressly contemplated by Section 2.09 , (c) for any remedy expressly contemplated by any other Transaction Agreement with respect to a claim made under such Transaction Agreement and (d) under the circumstances described in Section 9.03(y) , if the Closing occurs, their sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing with respect to any and all claims arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Article X.

Section 10.08. Certain Other Matters.

(a) Upon making any Indemnity Payment, Indemnitor will, to the extent of such Indemnity Payment, be subrogated to all rights of Indemnitee against any third Person (other than any Tax Authority) in respect of the Indemnifiable Loss to which the Indemnity Payment related. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnitee and Indemnitor will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above-described subrogation rights.

(b) The rights and remedies of any party in respect of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall in no way be limited by the fact that the act, omission, occurrence or other state of facts or circumstances upon which any claim of any such inaccuracy or breach is based may also be the subject matter of any other representation, warranty, covenant or agreement as to which there is no inaccuracy or breach. The representations, warranties and covenants of Seller set forth herein (as such representations and warranties are qualified in accordance with the introductory paragraph of Article III ), and the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ rights to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of (and the Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall be deemed to have relied upon such representations and warranties notwithstanding) (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that any of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons or any of such Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate, regardless of whether such investigation was made or such knowledge was obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or (ii) Purchaser’s waiver of any condition set forth in Article VIII. The representations, warranties and covenants of Purchaser set forth herein (as such representations and warranties are qualified

in accordance with the introductory paragraph of Article IV ), and the Seller Indemnified Persons’ rights to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of (and the Seller Indemnified Persons shall be deemed to have relied upon such representations and warranties notwithstanding) (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the Seller Indemnified Persons (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that any of the Seller Indemnified Persons or any of such Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate, regardless of whether such investigation was made or such knowledge was obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or (ii) Seller’s waiver of any condition set forth in Article VIII.

Section 11.04. Entire Agreement.

Section 11.05. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Applicable Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. 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 hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in any Section or Schedule of this Agreement, including any section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in this Agreement, the Seller Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule.

Seller hereby designates the individual listed in Section 11.03(b) to whom notice may be given on behalf of Seller as its true and lawful agent upon whom may be served any lawful process in any action, suit or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of Purchaser. In the event either party decides to change its designation of agent, it shall provide written notice to the other party. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party hereto agrees that any final, nonappealable judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon such party and may be enforced in any other courts to whose jurisdiction such party may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.

Section 11.11. Certain Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements, the Seller Disclosure Schedule or any of the Schedules or Exhibits hereto or thereto, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither Seller nor any of its Representative makes or has made, and Purchaser has not relied on, any inducement or promise to Purchaser except as specifically made in this Agreement or any representation or warranty to Purchaser, oral or written, express or implied, other than as expressly set forth in Article III. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, other than as expressly set forth in Article III , no Person has made any representation or warranty to Purchaser with respect to the Business, the Transferred Assets (including the Assigned Contracts), the Assumed Liabilities or any other matter, including with respect to (i) merchantability, suitability or fitness for any particular purpose, (ii) the operation of the Business by Purchaser after the Closing, (iii) the probable success or profitability of the Business after the Closing or (iv) any information, documents or material made available to Purchaser or its Representatives in any “data rooms,” information memoranda, management presentations, functional “break-out” discussions or in any other form or forum in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any estimation, valuation, appraisal, projection or forecast with respect to the Business. With respect to any such estimation, valuation, appraisal, projection or forecast (including the confidential information memoranda prepared by or on behalf of Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the any actuarial reports provided to Purchaser), Purchaser acknowledges that: (i) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimations, valuations, appraisals, projections and forecasts; (ii) it is familiar with such uncertainties; (iii) it is not acting and has not acted in reliance on any such estimation valuation, appraisal, projection or forecast delivered by or on behalf of Seller to Purchaser; (iv) such estimations, valuations, appraisals, projections and forecasts are not and shall not be deemed to be representations or warranties of Seller or any of its Affiliates and (v) it shall have no claim against any Person with respect to any such valuation, appraisal, projection or forecast.

(b) Seller makes no express or implied representation or warranty hereby or otherwise under this Agreement: (i) as to the future experience, success or profitability of the Business, whether or not conducted in a manner similar to the manner in which the Business was conducted prior to the Closing; (ii) that the reserves held by or on behalf of the Business or the assets supporting such reserves have been or will be adequate or sufficient for the purposes for

which they were established; (iii) that the reinsurance recoverables taken into account in determining the amount of such reserves will be collectible or whether such reserves were calculated, established or determined in accordance with any actuarial, statutory or other standard; or (iv) concerning any financial statement “line item” or asset, liability or equity amount that would be affected by any of the foregoing.

(c) Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that it: (i) has made its own inquiry and investigation into and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning the Business, the Transferred Assets (including the Assigned Contracts) and the Assumed Liabilities; (ii) has been provided adequate access to such information as it has deemed necessary to enable it to form such independent judgment; (iii) has had such time as it deems necessary and appropriate fully and completely to review and analyze such information, documents and other materials; and (iv) has been provided an opportunity to ask questions of Seller with respect to such information, documents and other materials and has received answers to such questions that it considers satisfactory. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates has made any representations or warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of, and that Purchaser and its Affiliates have made their investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Transferred Assets without reliance upon, such information, documents and other materials other than the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Section 11.12. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any Person (including the employees of Seller or Purchaser or any Affiliate of Seller or Purchaser), other than the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein.

Section 11.13. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to any Transaction Agreement by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission utilizing reasonable image scan technology shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of any such Agreement.

Section 11.14. Equitable Remedies. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, without the necessity of posting bond or other undertaking, the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement, this being in addition (subject to the terms of this Agreement) to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any Action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party hereto shall allege, and each party hereto hereby waives any defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. If, prior to the Outside Date, any party hereto brings any Action in accordance with this Section 11.14 to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by the other party, the Outside Date shall be automatically extended (i) for the period during which such action is pending, plus 10 Business Days or (ii) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, as the case may be.
