Section 5.02Access to Information.

(a)During the period from the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII and subject to applicable Law, Purchaser shall be entitled, through its Representatives, to have such access to the Business Employees, the properties, businesses and operations of the Company and such examination of the books and records of the Company, including books and records of the Company held by Parent or Seller, as Purchaser reasonably requests in connection with Purchaser’s efforts to consummate the Transactions. Parent and Seller agree to deliver to Purchaser at the Closing any books or records of the Company that are held by Parent or Seller and copies of any books or records of Parent, Seller or their Affiliates that relate primarily to the Company or the Business.

(b)For sixty (60) months following the Closing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to grant Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access during Parent’s normal business hours to any of Parent’s then-current employees, the properties, businesses and operations of the Company and such examination of the books and records of Parent that relate to the Company (including documentation relating to a Security Breach), including books and records of the Company held by Parent or Seller, as Purchaser reasonably requests and upon reasonable prior notice if such access is reasonably deemed necessary by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with its tax, regulatory, litigation, contractual or other legitimate, non-

4849-4299-1089 v.6

competitive matters; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to provide access to any such employees or books and records to the extent that such access: (i) would violate applicable Law or would adversely impact any legal privilege; or (ii) would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets or any competitively sensitive information of Parent or of a third party to whom Parent has confidentiality obligations. All requests for access to such employees or books and records shall be made to such representatives of Parent as Parent shall designate, who shall be solely responsible for coordinating all requests and all access permitted hereunder. Nothing in the foregoing will prevent Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (at its sole cost and expense) from seeking to make such employees available via subpoena or other legal or similar process, and Parent shall reasonably cooperate in making employees available for such purposes.

(c)Any such access and examination shall be conducted on reasonable advance written notice, during regular business hours and under reasonable circumstances and shall be subject to (i) restrictions under applicable Law and (ii) reasonable restrictions imposed by Parent and Seller to protect the confidentiality of books and records of Parent, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Company) that do not relate, directly or indirectly, to the Business or the Company.

(d)Parent and Seller, respectively, shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the officers, employees, consultants, agents, accountants, attorneys and other Representatives of the Company to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives in connection with such access and examination, and Purchaser and its Representatives shall reasonably cooperate with the Company and its officers, employees, consultants, agents, accountants, attorneys and other Representatives and shall use their reasonable best efforts to minimize any disruption to the business.

(e)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such access or examination shall be permitted to the extent that it would (i) unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Company or (ii) reasonably be likely to cause the Company to lose the benefit of attorney-client privilege or conflict with any confidentiality obligations to which the Company is bound, whether pursuant to a Contract or imposed by an Order or other directive or restriction by a Governmental Authority, in each case with respect to information to be disclosed; provided, however, that Parent shall cause the Company to request, but the Company shall not be required to obtain, a waiver of any such confidentiality obligations upon Purchaser’s reasonable prior written request; and provided, further, that Parent shall cause the Company to use reasonable best efforts to seek alternative means to disclose such information as nearly as possible without affecting attorney-client privilege or conflicting with such confidentiality obligations (it being understood that such commercially reasonable efforts shall not require the Company to pay any consideration or amend or modify any Contract).

(f)Purchaser acknowledges that the information provided to Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the Transactions is subject to the terms of that certain Mutual Confidentiality Agreement by and between Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company and Parent, dated September 8, 2020, as amended by that certain Amendment Number One, dated as of December 1, 2020 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Purchaser shall have responsibility for the filing fees associated with its change-of-control applications and filings it is required to make under any applicable antitrust or competition Laws, including those set forth in Section 4.04 of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, and Parent and Seller shall have responsibility for its respective filing fees associated with filings Parent, Seller or any of their Affiliates are required to make, including those set forth in Section 3.04 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule.

Section 5.04Publicity. None of the Parties or any of their Affiliates shall issue any press release or public announcement or comment concerning this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the Transactions without obtaining the prior written approval of Purchaser and Parent; provided that the Parties and their Affiliates may, without such prior written approval, issue such press release, or make such public announcement or comment to the extent, in the judgment of such Party upon the advice of its outside counsel, disclosure is required by applicable Law (including the periodic reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or under the rules of any securities exchange on which the securities of such Party or any of its Affiliates are listed (provided that, to the extent so required by applicable Law, the Party intending to make such release shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with applicable Law to consult with the other Parties in advance of such release with respect to the text thereof).

Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing and filing all Tax Returns of the Company that are not Seller Tax Returns; provided that in the case of any such Tax Return with respect to a Straddle Period, such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the most recent past practice of the Company unless otherwise required by applicable Law or as specified in this Agreement.

Parent shall have thirty (30) days to review the Allocation Schedule and deliver written notice of any objections to the Allocation Schedule to Purchaser. If no written notice of any objections to the Allocation Schedule is received by Purchaser from Parent prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day review period, then the Allocation Schedule will be final and binding upon the Parties. If Purchaser receives written notice of any objections to the Allocation Schedule from Parent prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day review period, then Purchaser and Parent will work together in good faith to resolve any objections set forth in such notice. In the event the Parties are unable to resolve any objections set forth in such notice within thirty (30) days of the date of Purchaser’s receipt of such objection notice from Parent (or such longer period as Purchaser and Parent agree), then any amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted for resolution to the Independent Accountant, who, acting as expert and not arbitrator, shall resolve any such disputes.

Each of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of its respective Affiliates to, report, act and file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Election and no Party shall take any position that is inconsistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Election.

Purchaser and its Affiliates, any information which (i) is generally available to or known by the public (other than as a result of an act or omission by Purchaser and its Affiliates in breach of this Section 5.15(b)), (ii) is made available to Purchaser and its Affiliates by any other Person; provided that such Person is not known to the recipient to be bound by a duty of confidentiality with respect thereto or (iii) has been or is subsequently developed by Purchaser and its Affiliates without use of or reference to IHC Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, following the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be permitted to disclose IHC Confidential Information as required by Law or to directors, officers, employees or advisors of Purchaser and its Affiliates who have a need to know such information, provided that such Persons are themselves obligated to keep such IHC Confidential Information confidential.

Section 5.16Further Assurances. The Parties shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, such documents and other instruments and shall take, or shall cause to be taken, such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and give effect to the Transactions.

Section 5.17Additional Financial Statements. Following the date of this Agreement and prior to Closing, Parent or Seller will prepare and furnish to Purchaser (i) complete and correct copies of the unaudited quarterly financial statements of the Company for each quarterly period prior to the Closing, prepared on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements in accordance with SAP as set forth in Section 3.07(a) and as filed with the DFS (each such statement, an “Additional Financial Statement”), as soon as they become available, and in any event, not later than twenty (20) Business Days after the end of each quarter and (ii) the monthly financial information relating to the Business that executive management of the Business has historically prepared for the Parent or Seller as soon as they become available, and in any event, not later than ten (10) Business Days following the end of each calendar month.

Section 5.19Disposition of Run-off Policies. Nothing herein shall prevent Parent, Seller, or Company from taking any actions deemed reasonable to settle, reinsure, or terminate the Run-off Policies at any time prior to the Closing, provided that such settlement, reinsurance, or termination does not cause additional liabilities for the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser agrees that any expense associated with such settlement, reinsurance, or termination shall not constitute an additional liability.

Section 5.20Certain Other Covenants.

(a)As consideration for and to induce Purchaser to pay the consideration set forth in this Agreement, during the Restricted Period (provided that such period shall be extended by any period in which any Person is in material violation of the covenants of this Section 5.20; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing proviso, such period of tolling shall not be extended (x) for greater than twelve (12) months in the case of any single or continuing violation or (y) from and after such time as Purchaser or its Affiliates have actual knowledge of such

4849-4299-1089 v.6

violation) Parent and Seller shall not, and Parent and Seller shall cause each of their Subsidiaries and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly:

(i)engage in or own any interest in, or control, manage or operate any Person or business division that is primarily engaged in the Business (a “Competitive Business”) in any country in which the Business or the Company then operates;

(ii)use the Company Confidential Information (A) in connection with or with the purpose of pursuing or impairing any Competitive Business or (B) for any purpose other than risk management or modeling; or

(iii)solicit or assist in the solicitation of any supplier, licensee or service provider with whom the Business has a commercial relationship, whether by contract or otherwise, for the purpose of causing such supplier, licensee or service provider to reduce, discontinue or alter, in a manner adverse to the Business or the Company, such commercial relationship.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in Section 5.20(a) shall preclude Parent, Seller or any of their Affiliates from (i) acquiring (by asset purchase, stock purchase, merger, reinsurance, consolidation or otherwise), directly or indirectly, the stock, business or assets of any Person that at the time of such acquisition is engaged in, or owns any interest in or controls, manages or operates any Person that is engaged in, a Competitive Business that would otherwise be prohibited by Section 5.20(a) (such Competitive Business being referred to herein as an “Acquired Competitive Business”) so long as such Acquired Competitive Business generated no more than twenty percent (20%) of the net revenues of the combined businesses that are being acquired as part of the same transaction or related transactions in which such Acquired Competitive Business is being acquired (measured over the last twelve (12) months for which such financial data are available prior to the execution of the definitive agreement for such acquisition (or the date of the consummation of such acquisition if there is no such definitive agreement)); or (ii) owning, directly or indirectly, as a passive, non-controlling investor (without any membership on the board of directors or similar governing body of such Person), up to an aggregate of five percent (5%) of any class of securities of a Person that is a Competitive Business that are registered under the Exchange Act, or an equivalent Law in a foreign jurisdiction.

(c)During the Restricted Period, Parent and Seller shall not, and Parent and Seller shall cause each of their Subsidiaries and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each of their Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit or assist in the solicitation of any individual who on the Closing Date is an employee of the Company or Purchaser without the prior written approval of Purchaser, unless such individual (i) was terminated by the Company or Purchaser, as applicable, (ii) has not been in the employ of the Company or Purchaser during the six (6) month period prior to such solicitation or (iii) is contacted or solicited through general non-targeted solicitation or advertisement in a newspaper, online or through an employment agency.

(d)Each of the Parties has carefully read this Section 5.20 and considered the restraints imposed upon Parent, Seller and their Affiliates, and is in full accord as to the necessity of such restrictive covenants for the reasonable and proper protection of Purchaser and its

4849-4299-1089 v.6

Affiliates, and agrees that each restraint imposed by the provisions of this Section 5.20 is fair and reasonable with respect to subject matter, geographic scope and time period. It is expressly understood and agreed that although Parent, Seller and Purchaser consider such covenants to be fair and reasonable, if a judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or any other restriction contained in this Section 5.20 is an invalid or unenforceable restriction against Parent, Seller or any of their Affiliates, the provisions of this Section 5.20 shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply to such maximum time and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein, which shall be given full force and effect without regard to such finding.

(e)Each of Parent and Seller represents, stipulates and acknowledges on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that: (i) the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 5.20 are a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Transactions, for which each of Parent and Seller will receive a substantial financial benefit, and (ii) it would impair the goodwill acquired by Purchaser and reduce the value of the Company if Parent or Seller were to breach its obligations contained in this Section 5.20.

4849-4299-1089 v.6

resolution of the asserted right to indemnification specified in such notice in accordance with Section 8.03. The parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Article VIII for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’-length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the parties.

Section 8.02Indemnification.

(a)After the Closing and subject to this Article VIII, Parent (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”, who are express and intended third-party beneficiaries of this Article VIII) against, and reimburse any Indemnified Party for, all Losses that such Indemnified Party may at any time suffer, pay, sustain or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, relating to or in connection with:

(i)the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent or Seller in this Agreement;

(ii)any breach or failure by Parent, Seller, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any of their covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;

(iii)Indemnified Taxes;

(iv)other than the FCE and RSA Liabilities, any Actions by any Governmental Authority against Purchaser or its Affiliates, including any fines or penalties imposed by any Governmental Authority on Purchaser, relating to acts, omissions, or occurrences by the Company or its Representatives (in their capacities as Representatives of the Company) occurring prior to the Closing Date;

(v)the Excluded Liabilities; or

(vi)the FCE and RSA Liabilities.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, other than in the case of intentional breach and willful misconduct or fraud by Parent, Seller, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives or in the case of Losses arising out of the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Parent and Seller Representations, Parent shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Indemnified Party for, any Losses pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of the Indemnified Parties’ Losses for which the Indemnified Parties are finally determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 8.02(a)(i) exceeds one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000), after which Parent shall be obligated for all, and not just for the excess over one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000), of the Indemnified Parties’ Losses for which the Indemnified Parties are finally determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 8.02(a)(i). For purposes of determining whether the aforementioned threshold has been met or exceeded, any amount paid by Parent for Losses pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i), other than any Losses in respect of the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Parent and Seller Representations, shall be taken into account. Notwithstanding

4849-4299-1089 v.6

anything to the contrary contained herein, other than in the case of intentional breach and willful misconduct or fraud by Parent, Seller, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, Parent shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Indemnified Party for, any Losses pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) or Section 8.02(a)(ii) (including, for this purpose, in respect of the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Parent and Seller Representations) in a cumulative aggregate amount exceeding the Closing Consideration.

(c)Parent’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(iv) shall be subject to the minimum threshold for aggregate losses and the cumulative aggregate limit set forth above in Section 8.02(b). Parent’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(iii) shall be subject to the cumulative aggregate limit set forth above in Section 8.02(b). Parent’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(v) shall be subject to the minimum threshold for aggregate losses and the cumulative aggregate limit set forth above in Section 8.02(b) for a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, and thereafter shall be subject to the minimum threshold for aggregate losses set forth above in Section 8.02(b) and a cumulative aggregate amount of fifty million dollars ($50,000,000). Parent’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(vi) shall not be subject to the minimum threshold set forth in Section 8.02(b), but shall be subject to the cumulative limit on aggregate liability set forth above in Section 8.02(b). Parent’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for an intentional breach, wilful misconduct or fraud shall not be subject to any limitations set forth in the preceding sentences of this Section and shall survive indefinitely.

Section 8.03Notification of Claims.

(a)An Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article VIII, including any pending or threatened Claim or demand by a third party that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened Claim or demand asserted or unasserted, known or unknown or accrued or unaccrued, by a third party against the Indemnified Party) (each, a “Third-Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances (to the extent known based on the then available information) with respect to the subject matter of such Claim or demand; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. The Parties agree that (i) in this Article VIII they intend to shorten (in the case of the limited survival periods specified in Section 8.01) and lengthen (in the case of the indefinite survival periods specified in Section 8.01) (as the case may be) the applicable statute of limitations period with respect to certain Claims; (ii) notices for Claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 8.01 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement; and (iii) any Claims for indemnification for which notice is not timely delivered in accordance with this Section 8.03(a) shall be expressly barred and are hereby waived; provided, further that, if, prior to such applicable date, a Party shall have notified the other Party in accordance with the

4849-4299-1089 v.6

requirements of this Section 8.03(a) of a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII (whether or not formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such claim), such Claim shall continue to be subject to indemnification in accordance with this Article VIII notwithstanding the passing of such applicable date.

4849-4299-1089 v.6

consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VIII (including Section 8.02), no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this Article VIII for any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third-Party Claim that is settled or compromised by an Indemnified Party without the consent of such Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d)In the event any Indemnifying Party receives a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.03(a) that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any such claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party.

Section 8.04Payment. In the event a Claim or any Action for indemnification under this Article VIII has been finally determined against Parent or Seller, the amount of such final determination shall be paid by Parent to the Indemnified Party on demand by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the applicable account designated by the Indemnified Party in writing. A Claim or an Action, and the liability for and amount of damages therefor, shall be deemed to be “finally determined” for purposes of this Article VIII when the Parties have so determined by mutual written agreement or, if disputed, when a final non-appealable Order has been entered into with respect to such Claim or Action.

Section 8.05Exclusive Remedies. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)prior to the Closing, other than in the case of intentional breach, willful misconduct or fraud by Parent, Seller or their Affiliates or Representatives, the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered hereunder shall be, in the event that (i) each of the conditions set forth in Article VI has not been satisfied or waived as a result of such breach or inaccuracy and (ii) such breach or inaccuracy is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, is not cured within thirty (30) days after Purchaser has notified Parent and Seller of intent to refuse to close the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder, refusal to close the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder;

(b)following the Closing, other than in the case of intentional breach, willful misconduct or fraud, (i) the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties for any breach of the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of any Party to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

4849-4299-1089 v.6

(c)following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedies of the Parties for any breach of any covenant, but without prejudice to any remedies available under any of the Ancillary Agreements or Section 9.04.

Section 8.06Additional Indemnification Provisions.

(a)Parent and Purchaser agree, for themselves and on behalf of their respective Affiliates and Representatives, that with respect to each indemnification obligation set forth in this Article VIII, any Ancillary Agreement or any other document executed or delivered in connection with the Closing: (i) each such obligation shall be calculated net of any Eligible Insurance Proceeds and (ii) in no event shall Parent have any liability or obligation to any Indemnified Party to the extent that any Loss, or any portion thereof, for which indemnification is sought hereunder is specifically reserved for in the Final Closing Statement.

(b)Any amount payable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VIII shall be paid promptly and payment shall not be delayed pending any determination of Eligible Insurance Proceeds. In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from a third Person any Eligible Insurance Proceeds or any other amount in respect of any Loss for which the Indemnifying Party has actually reimbursed it pursuant to this Article VIII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Eligible Insurance Proceeds, but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnifying Party in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

(c)The Parties shall treat any indemnification payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Closing Consideration.

(d)If any portion of Losses to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party may be covered, in whole or in part, by third-party insurance coverage, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (a “Notice of Insurance”). If the Indemnifying Party so requests within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of a Notice of Insurance, the Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect (at the Indemnifying Party’s expense) the Eligible Insurance Proceeds.

(e)The Parties acknowledge and agree that the same Loss may be subject to indemnification under more than one subsection of Section 8.02(a), respectively; provided, however, that in no event shall an Indemnified Party be entitled to duplicative recoveries for the same underlying Loss under this Article VIII or under any Ancillary Agreement.

(f)For purposes of this Article VIII, in respect of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III (except for Section 3.08(b)) and Article IV, and the covenants set forth in this Agreement, any and all “Material Adverse Effect”, “material adverse effect”, “materiality” and similar exceptions and qualifiers and any similar thresholds set forth in such representations, warranties and covenants shall be disregarded (or, in the case of “Material Adverse Effect”, be

4849-4299-1089 v.6

read as “adverse effect”) for purposes of determining whether any such representation or warranty has been breached or determining the amount of Losses resulting therefrom.

Section 8.07Mitigation. Each Indemnified Party agrees to take reasonable steps as required under applicable Law to mitigate its respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

Article IX

Section 9.01Entire Agreement; Conflict; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements represent the entire understanding and agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties and their Affiliates, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Original Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or changed only by a written instrument signed by each of the Parties. Each provision in this Agreement may be waived only by a written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such provision so waived is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 9.02Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person that is not a Party, except
Section 9.10 shall be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the Nonparty Affiliates of the Parties.

(b)No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except that Purchaser may assign any and all of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Subject to the immediately preceding two sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 9.02(b) shall be null and void.

Section 9.03Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a)This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or relating to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws.

(b)Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of each federal court or state court within the County of New York in the State of New York having jurisdiction over that matter (“New York Courts”), and any appellate court from any decision thereof, in any Action based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or relating to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement), or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such Action shall be heard and determined in the New York Courts, (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Action based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or relating to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) in the New York Courts, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action in any such court and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each of the Parties agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at the applicable address set forth in Section 9.07 shall be effective service of process for any Action brought in any such court.

Section 9.04Specific Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the Parties fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right of Parent and Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, to cause the Transactions to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement) in the courts described in Section 9.03(b) without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. The Parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy

4849-4299-1089 v.6

or that the Parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking 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 Section 9.04 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. If, prior to the Outside Date, any Party brings any Action, in each case, in accordance with this Section 9.04, to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other Party, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended (x) for the period during which such Action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days or (y) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action, as the case may be.

Section 9.05Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION THAT MAY BE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.05.

Section 9.06Remedies. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise at any time of any other remedy, except to the extent expressly limited hereby.

Section 9.07Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt by other than automatic means, whether electronic or otherwise), (b) when sent by facsimile or email (unless, in the case of email, an automatic response has been received indicating that the recipient did not receive such email) with written confirmation of transmission or (c) one (1) Business Day following the day sent by an internationally recognized overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case, at the following addresses, facsimile numbers and email addresses (or to such other address, facsimile number or email address as a Party may have specified by notice given to the other Party pursuant to this provision):

Section 9.08Severability. If any condition, term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other conditions, terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties intend that the provisions of Article VII and Article VIII, including the remedies (and limitations

4849-4299-1089 v.6

thereon) and the limitations on representations, warranties and covenants, be construed as integral provisions of this Agreement and that such provisions, remedies and limitations shall not be severable in any manner that diminishes a Party’s rights hereunder or increases a Party’s Liability or obligations hereunder.

Section 9.09Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement, each Ancillary Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 9.10Non-Recourse. All Actions, Liabilities or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out of or by reason of, be connected with or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made against only (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as Parties to this Agreement (the “Contracting Parties”). Other than in the case of fraud, no Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any current, former or future director, officer, employee, consultant, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any Contracting Party, or any current, former or future director, officer, employee, consultant, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any Liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action or Liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance or breach, and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such Liabilities, claims, causes of action and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, (a) other than in the case of fraud, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands or causes of action that may otherwise be available at law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose Liability of a Contracting Party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization or otherwise and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with or as an inducement to this Agreement.
