As promptly as possible following the Closing Date, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a reasonably detailed statement setting forth (i) the Buyer’s good faith determinations of the Cash Amount, the Net Working Capital Amount, the Indebtedness Amount, the Seller Transaction Expenses, the Target Cash Amount and the Retained Earnings and (ii) the Buyer’s calculation of the Purchase Price (collectively, the “Draft Computation”). The Draft Computation shall be prepared in accordance with the Parent Accounting Principles and in a form and format consistent with the Sample Closing Statement. The Buyer will make available to the Seller and its advisors reasonable supporting underlying documentation used in the preparation of the Draft Computation (including work papers, subject to the execution of customary access letters). If the Seller disagrees with any aspect of the Draft Computation, the Seller may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Draft Computation, deliver a reasonably detailed notice (an “Objection Notice”) to the Buyer setting forth the Seller’s determination of the Cash Amount, Net Working Capital Amount, the Indebtedness Amount, the Seller Transaction Expenses, the Target Cash Amount and the Retained Earnings, and the Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price. If the Seller does not deliver an Objection Notice to the Buyer within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Draft Computation, then the parties hereto will be deemed to have agreed to the Draft Computation and the components of such Draft Computation shall be deemed to be finally determined as set forth therein. The Buyer and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreements as to the Draft Computation and the Objection Notice, but if they do not obtain a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the Buyer has received the Objection Notice, the Buyer and the Seller shall jointly retain Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or another nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed to by the parties (the “Firm”) to resolve any remaining disagreements. The Buyer and the Seller shall direct the Firm to render a determination within thirty (30) days after its retention, and the Buyer, the Seller and their respective agents shall cooperate in good faith with the Firm during its engagement. The Firm may consider only those items and amounts in the Draft Computation or Objection Notice which the Buyer and the Seller are unable to resolve and shall act as an expert and not as an arbiter. In resolving any disputed item, the Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Firm’s determination shall be based solely on written submissions or oral presentations (provided that there shall be no ex parte communications) by the Buyer and the Seller (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions included herein. The Seller and the Buyer shall give each other copies of any written submissions at the same time as they are submitted to the Firm. The determination of the Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the Buyer and the Seller. Until the Firm makes its determination, the costs and expenses of the Firm shall be borne equally by the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand; provided that, when the Firm makes its determination, the costs and expenses of the Firm shall be allocated between the Seller, on the one hand, and the Buyer,

on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if the Seller claims the Net Working Capital Amount is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by the Buyer, and the Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Seller, and if the Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Seller $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of arbitration will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to the Buyer and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to the Seller.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) Payment by the Buyer. If the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.04(a) exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, then within five (5) Business Days after such final determination thereof the Buyer shall pay to the Seller, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller to the Buyer, an amount in cash equal to the amount by which the Purchase Price as finally determined exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price.

(ii) Payment on Behalf of the Seller. If the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.04(a) is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then within five (5) Business Days after such final determination thereof, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds to an account designated by the Buyer to the Seller, an amount in cash equal to the difference between the Purchase Price as finally determined and the Estimated Purchase Price (expressed as a positive number).

(iii) Tax Treatment. Any payments made to any party pursuant to Section 2.04 shall constitute an adjustment of the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by the parties on their Tax Returns to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

Section 2.05 Withholding. The Buyer and (following the Closing) the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price otherwise deliverable to the Seller such amounts as the Buyer or the Company is required to deduct and withhold under applicable Law. The Buyer or the Company, as applicable, shall use reasonable best efforts to provide the Seller with reasonable advance written notice of the intention to make such deduction or withholding and shall provide the Seller the opportunity to provide forms or other documentation evidencing a reduction of or exemption from such withholding. To the extent that amounts are deducted and withheld pursuant to this Section 2.05 and paid over to the proper Governmental Authority, pursuant to applicable Law, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Seller.

Section 2.06 Local Transfer Agreements; Deferred Closing.

(a) The transfer of the Indian Business (the “Indian Transfer”) shall be effected pursuant to a local transfer agreement to be in such form as reasonably needed (and solely to the extent as reasonably needed) to satisfy the requirements of applicable local Law for such transfer (the “Indian Transfer Agreement”); provided, that the Indian Transfer Agreement shall serve purely to effect the legal transfer of the Indian Business, shall not have any effect on the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the allocation of assets and liabilities as between the parties, all of which shall be determined by this Agreement, or in any way modify, amend or constitute a waiver of, any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and shall not require Parent, the Seller or any of their Subsidiaries to make any additional representations, warranties or covenants, express or implied, not contained in this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Indian Business” shall mean (i) all Business Employees located in India (“Indian Employees”), (ii) any assets primarily utilized by such Indian Employees in connection with their services for the Business or otherwise primarily relating to the Business in India (the “Indian Assets”) and (iii) the Indian Liabilities.

(b) Deferred Closing.

(i) If, as of the Closing, in India, (A) there is an applicable Law then in effect or a Governmental Authority shall have issued or entered an Order that is then in effect, either or both of which has the effect of making the Closing illegal or otherwise prohibiting its consummation with respect to such jurisdiction, or (B) any filing with, notice to, or permit, authorization, registration, consent or approval of a Governmental Authority required to consummate the purchase by the Buyer of the Indian Business (the “Deferred Closing Governmental Approvals”) has not been made or obtained, as applicable, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indian Business shall not be transferred to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates at the Closing (but the Closing shall otherwise occur with respect to the Business, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (other than the Indian Business)). Thereafter, the Indian Business shall be transferred to the Buyer (or its designated Subsidiary) on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the receipt, satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the applicable Deferred Closing Governmental Approvals (a “Deferred Closing” and such date, a “Deferred Closing Date”). In no event shall the Purchase Price payable by the Buyer at the Closing or the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.04 be reduced or deferred in respect of the Indian Business.

(ii) Between the Closing Date and the Deferred Closing Date, subject to applicable Law and contractual restrictions, the Seller (or its applicable Affiliate) shall (x) hold the Indian Business for the Buyer’s benefit, burden and account, (y) use reasonable best efforts to manage and operate the Indian Business for the Buyer’s benefit, burden and account and in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement, with all benefits (other than the amounts payable to the Seller (or its applicable Affiliate) under the Transition Services Agreement for the Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) provided by the Indian Business), burden or liabilities (other than Indemnified Taxes) generated thereby to be for the Buyer’s account and borne by the Buyer, in each case, as if the transfer of the Indian Business had occurred at the Closing in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and, (z) the Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to prepare any necessary exhibits or other agreements in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement as determined reasonably necessary to abide by the terms of this Agreement such that, for the period between the Closing Date and the Deferred Closing Date, the Buyer shall retain beneficial control over the Indian Business and its service providers prior to the Deferred Closing and shall promptly reimburse the Seller for any associated costs and expenses.

(iii) At the Deferred Closing, if any, (A) the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the documents or other deliverables required to be delivered pursuant to the Indian Transfer Agreement and not previously delivered to the Seller at the Closing, and (B) the Seller shall, and shall cause the relevant Seller to, deliver to the Buyer the documents or other deliverables required to be delivered pursuant to the Indian Transfer Agreement and not previously delivered to the Buyer at the Closing.

(iv) In respect of the Indian Business, the Buyer and the Seller shall continue to comply through the applicable Deferred Closing Date, solely with respect to the Indian Business, with the covenants of the parties contained in Sections 6.01(b) and (c), Section 6.02 and Section 8.01(f). The Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement shall not apply with respect to Parent’s, the Seller’s and their respective Affiliates’ continued operation of the Indian Business until the Deferred Closing Date.

(v) The parties acknowledge that the portion of the Purchase Price allocable to the Indian Business (the “India Purchase Price”) shall be paid on the Closing Date. In the event that a local payment of some or all of the relevant India Purchase Price is required in India on the Deferred Closing Date, the Buyer shall cause the applicable local Subsidiary of Buyer to pay an amount equal to the required local payment to the applicable local Subsidiary of the Seller on the Deferred Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the local bank account to be designated by the Seller in a written notice to the Buyer at least five (5) Business Days before such Deferred Closing. Within five (5) Business Days following the Deferred Closing Date, the Seller shall reimburse, or cause to be reimbursed, to the Buyer an amount equal to the relevant required local payment converted to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate published by the Wall Street Journal, United States Edition, on the applicable Deferred Closing Date (or if the Wall Street Journal is not published on such date, the first date thereafter on which the Wall Street Journal is published), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account to be designated by the Buyer in a written notice to the Seller at least five (5) Business Days before such Deferred Closing. For Tax purposes, the parties agree that the amount so reimbursed shall constitute the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to the Indian Business, and such reimbursement shall constitute an adjustment to the purchase price paid for the Sold Shares, and the parties shall take such positions on their Tax Returns to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

(vi) Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, all references in this Agreement to the “Closing” and the “Closing Date” shall, with respect to the Indian Business, be deemed to refer to the applicable “Deferred Closing” and “Deferred Closing Date,” respectively. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the “Business” in Article 3 and Article 4 of this Agreement shall be deemed to include the Indian Business.

(c) Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) form prior to the Closing such entities in India as may be required to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Indian Transfer Agreement and (ii) take such actions before and after the Closing Date to cause the Indian Transfer to occur on the Closing Date or as soon after the Closing Date as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Buyer shall consummate the Deferred Closing within nine (9) months of the Closing.

(a) Each party hereto shall, as promptly as possible, use reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, orders and approvals from, and provide, or cause to be provided, all notices to, all Governmental Authorities and Antitrust Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the approvals, consents and/or notices set forth on Schedules 6.02(a)(i) and (ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Required Approvals and Filings”). Each party shall cooperate fully with the other party and its Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain or provide all such consents, notices authorizations, orders and approvals. The parties hereto shall not take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, notices, authorizations, orders and approvals. Each party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act and all Required Approvals and Filings with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authority any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and in connection with such Required Approvals and Filings, as applicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Buyer have any obligation to (A) propose, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or other disposition of any assets or businesses of the Buyer, the Business or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (B) otherwise take or commit to take any actions that would limit the freedom of the Buyer, the Business, or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, with respect to, or their ability to retain or operate, their businesses or assets, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), if any such action would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, impact Buyer, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries in a manner or amount that is material relative to the value of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, however, that the Buyer can compel the Company to take any of the actions referred to above (or agree to take such actions) if such actions are only effective from and after the Closing. The fees associated with any appropriate filings made pursuant to the HSR Act shall be paid by the Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Purchaser agrees not to, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, file any application to form a new title agency prior to the Closing to the extent the formation thereof would reasonably be expected to delay the obtaining of, or result in not obtaining, any Required Approvals and Filings.

(b) To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, the Buyer and the Seller shall each keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required consents,

To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law and subject to the NDA, all analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals (in each case, whether written or oral) made by or on behalf of either party before any Antitrust Authority or the staff or regulators of any Antitrust Authority or to any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority in connection with the Required Approvals and Filings, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be disclosed to the other party hereunder in advance of any filing, submission or attendance with sufficient time to permit the other party to review and discuss in advance, and the parties will promptly consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals (in each case, whether written or oral). To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law and subject to the NDA, each party shall give prior written notice to the other party with respect to any formal meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Antitrust Authority or the staff or regulators of any Antitrust Authority or to any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority in connection with the Required Approvals and Filings, with such notice being sufficient to provide the other party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact. No party shall participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority or Antitrust Authority in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or make oral submissions at meetings or in telephone or other conversations, unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority or Antitrust Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat. To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law and subject to the NDA, each party shall furnish the other party with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of necessary filings or submissions of information to any such Governmental Authority or Antitrust Authority or other such Person. The Buyer and the Seller may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other party under this Agreement as “outside counsel/corporate in-house counsel only.” Such designated materials, and the information contained therein, shall be given only to the outside legal counsel and corporate in-house counsel of the recipient involved in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall not be disclosed by such outside counsel and corporate in-house counsel to employees (other than corporate in-house counsel), officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (the Buyer or the Seller, as the case may be) or its legal counsel; it being understood that materials provided pursuant to this Agreement may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Business, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns.

(c) The Seller and the Buyer will have joint control of all decisions, strategies, communications and timing with respect to the Required Approvals and Filings; provided that in the event of any disagreement between the Seller and the Buyer with respect to such matters, the Buyer and the Seller shall use good faith to resolve such disagreement, and if despite good faith negotiation, the parties nevertheless disagree, the Buyer shall direct the process of obtaining such Required Approvals and Filings.

(d) The Seller, in consultation with the Buyer, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give all notices to, and obtain all consents from, third parties to the extent required under the terms of any Material Contract to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Seller and the Buyer shall provide each other with such assistance and information as is reasonably required to obtain such approvals.

Section 6.03 Notification of Certain Matters. Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall give prompt notice (upon having Knowledge) to the Buyer of (i) any complaints, subpoenas, investigations, audits,

reviews or hearings of any Governmental Authority affecting the Business that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to be material to the Business, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole and for which the Company or any Company Subsidiary has received written or, to the Company’s Knowledge, other notice; (ii) any written or, to the Company’s Knowledge, other notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (which failure to obtain would reasonably be expected to be material to the Business, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole); (iii) any written or, to the Company’s Knowledge, other notice from any Governmental Authority indicating that any Approval has been revoked or is about to be revoked or that an Approval is required in any jurisdiction in which such Approval has not been obtained (which revocation or failure to obtain would reasonably be expected to be material to the Business, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole); and (iv) any Proceeding commenced or, to its Knowledge, threatened against, relating to, involving or otherwise affecting the Business, the Company or any Company Subsidiary that would reasonably be expected to be material to the Business, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Each of the Seller and the Buyer shall give prompt notice (upon having Knowledge) to the other party of any event, condition, fact or circumstance that would make the timely satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article 7 impossible or reasonably unlikely. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall not limit or otherwise affect any remedies available to the party receiving such notice. The failure to deliver a notice pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall not be considered in determining whether the conditions set forth in Article 7 have been satisfied; provided, that this sentence shall not prevent the matters that would have required disclosure under this Section 6.03 from being considered in determining whether the conditions set forth in Article 7 have been satisfied.

Section 6.04 Use of Marks.

(a) Except as expressly provided in this Section 6.04, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall use, or have or acquire the right to use or any other the Parent Names. Within thirty (30) days of Closing, Buyer shall cause each member of the Company Group having a name, trademark, service xxxx or logo that includes the Parent Names (“Corporate Names”) to change its name to a name that does not include any Parent Name, including making any legal filings necessary to effect such change.

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.04(a) with respect to the change of Corporate Names, each member of the Company Group may continue temporarily to use the Parent Names following the Closing, to the extent and in the same manner as used immediately prior to Closing, so long as Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) immediately after the Closing, cease to hold itself out as having any affiliation with Parent or any of its Affiliates and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to minimize and eliminate use of the Parent Names by the Company Group; provided, that as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (and in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter), Buyer shall and shall cause each member of the Company Group to (x) cease and discontinue use of all Parent Names and (y) complete the removal of the Parent Names from all products, services, platforms, websites, signage, vehicles, properties, technical information, stationery and promotional or other marketing materials and other assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Group may continue to use existing notepads and other office supplies and documentation that is used internally to the extent and in the same manner as used immediately prior to Closing even if such supplies or documentation contain the Parent Names as long as it complies with clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 6.04(b).

Section 6.05 R&W Policy. The Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the R&W Policy in full force and effect for the policy period set forth therein; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be interpreted to in any way limit Buyer’s right to control all decisions, which, subject to the Buyer’s obligations under Article 9, shall be at the Buyer’s discretion, with respect to any claims or potential claims under the R&W Policy, including the handling and recovery with respect to such claims and potential claims.

Section 6.06 Termination of Affiliate Agreements; Assignment of Third Party Contracts; Amendment of Shared Contracts.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, any Contracts to which any third party is a party, or as set forth on Schedule 6.06(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, effective upon the Closing, execute and deliver such releases, termination agreements and discharges as are necessary to terminate, eliminate and release, as applicable (by way of capital contribution, cash settlement or as otherwise determined by Seller in its sole discretion), each and every Affiliate Agreement and other arrangement, commitment, receivable, payable, claim, demand, right, loan, or Tax sharing agreement between the Company or a Company Subsidiary, on the one hand, and Seller, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), on the other hand without any party having any continuing obligations or Liability to the other. Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of all documentation contemplated by this Section 6.06.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Seller and Buyer shall, in consultation with each other, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to separate the Shared Contracts identified on Schedule 3.25 of the Company Disclosure Schedule into two contracts effective as of the Closing with the applicable counterparty, one contract with terms and conditions that are exclusively related to the Business (the “Transferred Shared Contract”) and one contract that exclusively relates to the other businesses of the Seller or its other Affiliates (the “Retained Shared Contract”) in each case on terms and conditions which, in the aggregate, are comparable to those of such Shared Contract prior to the separation (unless explicitly agreed by Buyer on a case-by-case basis). At the Buyer’s request, the Seller shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to remove the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, as a party to a Shared Contract prior to or upon the Closing. Pursuant to the Transferred Shared Contracts and Retained Shared Contracts, the Parent Group will assume all of the rights and obligations under such Shared Contract that relate to Parent’s businesses other than the Business, on the one hand, and the Company Group will assume all of the rights and obligations under such Shared Contract that relate to the Business, on the other hand. In the case of the Parent Group, the Retained Shared Contract will cause the applicable counterparty to release the Company Group, as applicable, from the obligations of the Parent Group arising after the Closing under the portion of the Shared Contract apportioned to the Parent Group and, in the case of the Company Group, the Transferred Shared Contract will cause the applicable counterparty to release the Parent Group from the obligations of the Company Group arising after the Closing under the portion of the Shared Contract apportioned to the Company Group. From and after the Closing, to the extent any Shared Contract is not separated into a Transferred Shared Contract and Retained Shared Contracts in accordance with this Section 6.06(b), (x) the Buyer and the Company Group shall not extend the term or otherwise amend the terms of any such Shared Contract in a manner that would adversely affect any member of the Parent Group without the Seller’s prior written consent, (y) the Seller and other members of the Parent Group shall not extent the term or otherwise amend the terms of any such Shared Contract in a manner that would adversely affect the Buyer or the Company Group without the Buyer’s prior written consent and (z) to the extent that no member of the Company Group or the Parent Group, as applicable, is a party to such Shared Contract, the Buyer and the Seller shall enter into an appropriate transitional arrangement for the remaining term of such Shared Contract to provide the Company Group or the Parent Group with the rights and obligations under such Shared Contract that relate to the Business or the other businesses (other than the Business) of the Parent Group, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of Parent, the Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligation to make any payments or other concessions, or incur any other liability, or commence or participate in any Action to obtain any consents of third parties or effect any of the transfers or arrangements contemplated by this Section 6.06(b). Buyer acknowledges that the consummation of the Closing is not conditioned upon the receipt of any such consents, transfers or arrangements.

(c) The Buyer acknowledges, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, that (i) the Business as presently conducted receives or benefits from Overhead and Shared Services furnished by Parent or its Affiliates (other than the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), and (ii) effective as of the Closing, the sole obligations of the members of Parent and its Affiliates with respect to the provision of any Overhead and Shared Services to the Business shall be as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement if any.

Section 6.07 Access. From the date hereof until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, except as determined by the Seller or the Company in good faith (i) to be necessary to ensure compliance with any applicable Laws or (ii) to reasonably be expected to waive the attorney-client privilege, other legal privilege or violate any contractual confidentiality obligations (provided that, upon Buyer’s written request, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of any Person necessary to permit disclosure of any information subject to such contractual confidentiality obligations and otherwise make appropriate alternative disclosure arrangements in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to violate such Laws, waive such privilege or violate such obligations), the Company shall give and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to give Buyer and its representatives, upon reasonable advance written notice, reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the assets, properties, books, records and agreements of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, permit Buyer and its representatives to make such inspections as Buyer may reasonably require and to furnish Buyer and its representatives during such period with all such information relating to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as Buyer may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that none of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to (x) make available medical records, workers compensation records, the results of any drug testing or other sensitive or personal information if doing so could reasonably be expected to result in a violation of applicable Law or (y) provide any Tax Returns or other books and records related to Taxes, except as provided by Section 8.05; provided, further, that any such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Seller or its Affiliates, including the Company or the Company Subsidiaries. All of such information will be treated as confidential information pursuant to the terms of the NDA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall not be required to make available personnel records relating to any Person’s individual performance, evaluation records, medical records, workers compensation records, the results of any drug testing or other sensitive or personal information if doing so would reasonably be expected to result in a violation of applicable Law.

Section 6.08 Closing Conditions. From the date hereof until the Closing, each party hereto shall, and the Seller shall cause the Company to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the Closing conditions set forth in Article 7 hereof in accordance with the terms hereof.

(a) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain funds sufficient to purchase the Sold Shares on or prior to the date upon which the Sale is required to be consummated pursuant to the terms hereof. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, advisable or proper to obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter(s) prior to the date upon which the Sale is required to be consummated pursuant to the terms hereof, including by using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (the “Definitive Debt Agreements”) on the terms and conditions contained therein (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in any related fee letter) (or on terms and conditions, taken as a whole, no less favorable to Buyer than the terms and conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect as of the date hereof and that would be permitted by Section 6.13(b) assuming Buyer effected such change by way of an amendment) and (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Definitive Debt Agreements, comply with its obligations thereunder. Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to enforce its

rights under the Debt Commitment Letter of the Definitive Debt Agreements (including in the event of any breach or purported breach thereof) in a timely and diligent manner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that all conditions contained in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 (except those that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing; provided that such conditions would be so satisfied as of such date) have been satisfied or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waived, and all of the conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Debt Agreements (other than the consummation of the Sale) have been satisfied, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Lenders to fund the Debt Financing, to the extent the proceeds thereof are required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, or any replacement of, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Debt Agreements if such amendment, modification, waiver or replacement: (1) adds new (or adversely modifies any existing) conditions to the consummation of all or any portion of the Debt Financing, (2) reduces the amount of the Debt Financing to an amount that, together with the Buyer’s and its Subsidiaries’ cash on hand, would be as of such date and as of the Closing Date less than the amount required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (3) materially adversely affects the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Debt Agreements as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, relative to the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof or (4) could otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification, waiver or replacement.

(c) In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor, Buyer will (A) use reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative debt financing (in an amount sufficient, when taken together with the available portion of the Debt Financing, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including to pay the cash consideration in respect of the purchase of Sold Shares) from the same or other sources and which do not include any conditions to the consummation of such alternative debt financing that are, when taken as a whole, materially more onerous than the conditions set forth in the Debt Financing and (B) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor. For the purposes of this Agreement, references to “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as permitted to be amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified or replaced by this Section 6.13 (and any alternative financing obtained in accordance with this Section 6.13), and “Debt Commitment Letter” and “Definitive Debt Agreements” shall be deemed to include, respectively, such documents as permitted to be amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified or replaced by this Section 6.13, and such documents entered into with respect to any alternative financing arranged in compliance herewith (and any Debt Commitment Letter remaining in effect at the time in question). Buyer shall provide the Company with prompt oral and written notice of any actual or threatened breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or any Definitive Debt Agreement and a copy of any written notice or other written communication from any Lender or other financing source with respect to any breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or any Definitive Debt Agreement of any provision thereof. Buyer shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a current basis of the status of its efforts to consummate the Debt Financing.

(vi) subject to customary confidentiality agreements, reasonably cooperate with financing sources’ (including the Debt Financing Parties’) customary due diligence efforts; and

(vii) obtain any necessary and customary accountants’ consents and comfort letters as reasonably requested by Buyer or its financing sources (including the Debt Financing Parties) in connection with the Financing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including this Section 6.13): nothing in this Agreement (including this Section 6.13) shall require any such cooperation to the extent that it would (1) interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives; (2) encumber any of the assets of the Company or

any of the Company Subsidiaries prior to Closing; (3) require the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to pay any commitment or other fee, make any other payment, reimburse any expenses or otherwise incur any liabilities or obligations or give any indemnities prior to the Closing; (4) require the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any Persons who are officers or directors of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Financing or enter into, execute or deliver any certificate, document, instrument or agreement (other than customary authorization letters described in clause (ii) above) or agree to any change or modification of any existing certificate, document, instrument or agreement; (5) require the Company and/or any Company Subsidiary to make any representation, warranty or certification that, in the good faith determination of the Company, is not true; (6) reasonably be expected to cause any director, officer or employee or stockholder of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to incur any personal liability in their capacity as such; (7) conflict with the organizational documents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any applicable Law; (8) reasonably be expected to result in a material violation or breach of, or a default (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) under, any contract to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is a party; (9) cause the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective representatives to provide access to or disclose information that the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries reasonably determines would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries; (10) cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached by the Seller, the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries; (11) require the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives to prepare or provide any financial statements or information other than that required pursuant to Section 6.10(b), prepare any projections or pro forma financial statements, or provide any other information that is not available to the Company and prepared in the ordinary course of its reporting practice; or (12) require the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective representatives to deliver or cause to be delivered any opinion of counsel in connection with the Financing. Nothing contained in this Section 6.13 or otherwise shall require the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, prior to the Closing, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Financing. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (A) obtaining the Debt Financing or any other financing or the receipt of proceeds therefrom is not a condition to Closing and (B) any failure of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or applicable representatives thereof) to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.13 shall not be taken into account to determine whether any condition to Closing set forth in Section 7.02 has been satisfied.

(e) Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective representatives from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a result of the cooperation described in this Section 6.13 or otherwise in connection with or as a result of the Financing (including any alternative financing) (including any information utilized in connection therewith, other than any information relating to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries provided by or on behalf of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries expressly for use in connection therewith), in each case other than to the extent any of the foregoing arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of Section 6.13(d) of this Agreement by, the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or their respective representatives. Buyer shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives in connection with or as a result of the cooperation described in this Section 6.13 or otherwise in connection with or as a result of the Financing (including any alternative financing) (including with respect to the financial information delivered under this Section 6.13 and any information utilized in connection therewith). The Company hereby consents to the use of its and the Company Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing; provided, however, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended, or reasonably likely, to harm or disparage the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries.

(f) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Section 6.13 represent the sole obligation of Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to cooperation in connection with the arrangement of any financing (including the Debt Financing) to be obtained by Buyer with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no other provision of this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) shall be deemed to expand or modify such obligations. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries will be deemed to be in compliance with Section 6.13 unless and until (A) Buyer provides written notice (the “Non-Cooperation Notice”) to the Company of any alleged failure to comply, or action or failure to act which could be believed to be a breach of Section 6.13, (B) Parent includes in such Non-Cooperation Notice reasonable detail regarding the cooperation required to cure such alleged failure (which shall not require the Company to provide any cooperation that it would not otherwise be required to provide under Section 6.13) and (C) the Company fails to use reasonable best efforts to take the actions specified on such Non-Cooperation Notice within five Business Days from receipt of such Non-Cooperation Notice.

After the Closing for a period of three (3) years, each party agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to the other party and its representatives, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor and at the requesting party’s sole expense, reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the other parties’ employees and to any books, records, documents, files and correspondence in the possession or under the control of such party, in each case if and to the extent relating to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Closing and that the requesting party reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on the requesting party (including under applicable securities Laws) by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting party or (ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other proceeding (other than in a dispute between the parties) or in order to satisfy Tax, audit, accounting, regulatory or other similar requirements; provided, however, that no party shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate any Law or agreement, or waive any attorney client or other similar privilege, and each party may redact information regarding itself or its Subsidiaries or otherwise not relating to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, and, in the event such provision of information could reasonably be expected to violate any Law or agreement or waive any attorney client or other similar privilege, the parties shall take all reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, each party agrees to use its reasonable commercial efforts to retain the books, records, documents, instruments, accounts, correspondence, writings, evidences

of title and other papers relating to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Closing in their respective possession or control for a commercially reasonable period of time, as set forth in their regular document retention policies, following the Closing Date or for such longer period as may be required by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may destroy or otherwise dispose of any such materials not in accordance with its retention policy, provided that, prior to such destruction or disposal (i) such party shall provide no less than ninety (90) nor more than one-hundred twenty (120) days’ prior written notice to the other party of any such proposed destruction or disposal (which notice shall specify in detail which of the materials is proposed to be so destroyed or disposed of), and (ii) if a recipient of such notice shall request in writing prior to the scheduled date for such destruction or disposal that any of the information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of be delivered to such recipient, such party proposing the destruction or disposal shall, as promptly as practicable, arrange for the delivery of such of the materials as was requested by the recipient (it being understood that all reasonable out of pocket costs associated with the delivery of the requested materials shall be paid by such recipient).

(c) In the case of a legal or other proceeding between one party or any of its Affiliates and a third party relating to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents (including any matters subject to indemnification hereunder or thereunder) or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other party, upon written request, the former (to the extent practicable), current (to the extent practicable) and future officers, employees, other personnel and agents of such party and its subsidiaries as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available (other than materials covered by the attorney client privilege), to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any legal, administrative or other proceeding in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved. The requesting party shall bear all out of pocket costs and expenses in connection with the foregoing.

(d) Any information owned by a party that is provided to a requesting party pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing party. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such information. No party shall have any liability to any other party in respect of this Section 8.02 in the event that any information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Section 8.02 is found to be inaccurate. No party shall have any liability to any other party if any information is destroyed or lost after reasonable commercial efforts by such party to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.02. Nothing in this Section 8.02 shall require any party to violate any agreement with any third parties regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary information; provided, however, that in the event that any party is required under this Section 8.02 to disclose any such information, that party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such third party’s consent to the disclosure of such information and implement requisite procedures to enable the disclosure of such information.

Section 8.03 Further Assurances. Each of the Seller, the Company and the Buyer agree to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto and at such requesting party’s expense, any other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For twelve (12) months following the Closing and except as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement (including, by way of example, with respect to assets used to provide services under the Transition Services Agreement (or that constitute omitted services thereunder) or pursuant to Overhead and Shared Services, Shared Contracts and assets licensed to the

Company pursuant to Section 8.10) or any Transaction Documents, (i) to the extent that the Seller or any of its Affiliates becomes aware that it continues to possess, own or have any right, title or interest in any asset primarily relating to the Business, including any books or records (whether in physical or electronic form), such Person shall and shall cause its applicable Affiliate, without any further consideration, to take such actions (including to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such documents and instruments (including any assignments, bills of sale, assumption agreements, consents and other similar instruments)) as may be reasonably required to transfer such possession, ownership or right, title or interest of such asset and the related obligations and liabilities to Buyer or the appropriate Company entity; and (ii) if any payments due with respect to the Business are paid to any member of the Parent Group, the Seller shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the Parent Group to, promptly remit by wire or draft such payment to an account designated in writing by the Buyer and if any payments due with respect to Parent’s business other than the Business are paid to the Buyer, the Company or their Affiliates, the Buyer shall transfer, or cause its Affiliates to, promptly remit by wire or draft such payment to an account designated in writing by the Seller.

Section 8.04 Public Announcements. No press release or other public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein shall be issued or made without the joint approval (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Buyer and the Seller, unless required by Law or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange upon which the securities of the Seller or the Buyer, or their direct or indirect parent entity, are listed, or the requirements of any self-regulatory body, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other parties reasonable time to review and comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

Section 8.05 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns.

(i) The Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared, all (x) affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary income Tax Returns for a group which any of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries is a member for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (each, a “Pre-Closing Consolidated Return”), and (y) other income Tax Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, not described in clause (x) of this Section 8.05(a)(i), for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Return,” and together with the Pre-Closing Consolidated Returns, the “Seller Prepared Returns”). The Seller shall prepare all Pre-Closing Tax Returns on a basis not inconsistent with procedures, practices and accounting methods of the applicable entity in existence as of the date hereof, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. For Pre-Closing Tax Returns required to be filed on or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall (1) provide to Buyer copies of any such Pre-Closing Tax Returns at least fifteen (15) days before filing any such Tax Return (or, if any such Tax Return is due within fifteen (15) days following the date of this Agreement, reasonably in advance of filing to allow the Buyer sufficient time to review such Tax Return, other than Pre-Closing Tax Returns for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, which shall be provided as soon as reasonably practicable), but no later than fifteen (15) days before filing any such Tax Return) and (2) consider in good faith any reasonable comment that the Buyer submits to the Seller five (5) days prior to the due date of any such Tax Return. For Pre-Closing Tax Returns required to be filed after the Closing Date, the Seller shall provide to the Buyer copies of all such Pre-Closing Tax Returns at least fifteen (15) days before filing any such Tax Return. For Pre-Closing Tax Returns required to be filed after the Closing Date, the Seller shall consider in good faith any reasonable comment that the Buyer submits to the Seller five (5) days prior to the due date of such Tax Return. The Seller shall incorporate in any Pre-Closing Tax Return any reasonable comments that the Buyer submits to the Seller five (5) days prior to the due date of such

Tax Return that are not inconsistent with procedures, practices and accounting methods of the applicable entity in existence as of the date hereof (unless any such procedure, practice or accounting method, as applicable, is inconsistent with applicable Law). The Buyer shall cause the Company or applicable Company Subsidiaries to timely file, any Pre-Closing Tax Return required to be filed after the Closing Date and prepared by the Seller in accordance with this Section 8.05(a), provided, however, that the Seller shall pay to the Buyer any Taxes shown as due on such Pre-Closing Tax Return at least two (2) days prior to the due date (taking into account any extensions) for such Tax Return to enable the Buyer to pay such Taxes commensurate with the filing of such Tax Return. The Seller shall file, or caused to be filed, all Pre-Closing Consolidated Returns and pay all Taxes due with such returns.

(ii) The Buyer shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns, other than Seller Prepared Returns, of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with a due date (taking into account any extensions properly obtained) after the Closing Date that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (the “Buyer Prepared Returns”). The Buyer Prepared Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with procedures, practices and accounting methods of the applicable entity in existence as of the date hereof, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date of any Buyer Prepared Return (or, if any such Buyer Prepared Return is due within fifteen (15) days of the Closing Date, reasonably in advance of filing to allow the Seller sufficient time to review such Buyer Prepared Return), the Buyer shall provide a draft of such Buyer Prepared Return to the Seller for the Seller’s review and comment. The Buyer shall reflect on such Tax Return any reasonable comment that the Seller submits to Buyer five (5) days prior to the due date of such Buyer Prepared Return. The Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes shown as due on such Buyer Prepared Returns to the Buyer at least two (2) days prior to the due date (taking into account any extensions) for such Tax Return, other than any Taxes taken into account in Seller Transaction Expenses.

(iii) The Buyer shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period (each, a “Straddle Period Tax Return”). The Straddle Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with procedures, practices and accounting methods of the applicable entity in existence as of the date hereof, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date of any Straddle Period Tax Return (or, if any such Straddle Period Tax Return is due within fifteen (15) days of the Closing Date, reasonably in advance of filing to allow the Seller sufficient time to review such Straddle Period Tax Return), the Buyer shall provide a draft of such Straddle Period Tax Return to the Seller for the Seller’s review and comment. The Buyer shall consider in good faith any reasonable comment that Seller submits to Buyer five (5) days prior to the due date of such Straddle Period Tax Return. The Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes shown as due on such Straddle Period Tax Return attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date as determined in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 8.05(b) hereof to the Buyer at least two (2) days prior to the due date (taking into account any extensions) for such Tax Return, other than any Taxes taken into account in Seller Transaction Expenses.

(b) Straddle Period Apportionment. For all purposes under this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, the parties agree to utilize the following conventions for determining the amount of Taxes (or any Tax refund or amount credited against any Tax) attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date: (i) in the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall equal the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the

number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes (including, without limitation, income Taxes, sales Taxes, employment Taxes, withholding Taxes), the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Company or the applicable Company Subsidiaries filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology.” For purposes of the foregoing clause (ii) of this Section 8.05(b), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including, without limitation, amortization and depreciation deductions) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the relative number of days in such portion of the Straddle Period as compared to the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

(c) Cooperation. The Buyer, the Company and the Seller shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) (i) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period; (ii) assist in any audit or other legal proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (whether or not a Tax Contest) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period; (iii) make available any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, copies of Tax Returns and related work papers) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period; and (iv) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax. The Buyer, the Seller, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries will retain, and will cause their Affiliates to retain, for the full period of any statute of limitations all documents and other information which may be relevant for the filing of any Tax Return or for any audit or other legal proceedings relating to Taxes with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries.

(d) Tax Contests.

(i) Each party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any pending or threatened U.S. federal, state, local or foreign audit, claim, litigation or other proceeding involving any Taxes of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries for which the Seller is obligated to indemnify the Buyer under this Agreement (each, a “Tax Contest”); provided that any failure by the Buyer to provide such notification to the Seller shall not affect the Seller’s liability hereunder unless the Seller is thereby materially prejudiced. The Seller (at its own expense) may elect to control any Tax Contest solely with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period by giving written notice to the Buyer within thirty (30) days after receipt from the Buyer, or delivery to the Buyer by the Seller, of the notice of such Tax Contest. The Buyer (at its own expense) shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest if the Seller provides the Buyer with written notice of its intent to control such Tax Contest (which shall also include an acknowledgement that the Taxes which are the subject of such Tax Contest will constitute Indemnified Taxes to the extent determined to be due and owing). The Buyer (at its own expense) shall control, and the Seller (at its own expense) shall have the right to participate in, any Tax Contest with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period that the Seller does not elect to control or is not permitted to control under this Section 8.05(d)(i) or that the Seller fails to diligently prosecute after electing to control such Tax Contest. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.05(d), the Buyer shall have the sole right to control any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign audit, claim, litigation or other proceeding involving any Taxes of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 8.05(d)(i), the Seller (at its own expense) shall control any Tax Contest with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns of any affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which any of Parent, the Seller or any of their Affiliates is or was a member.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 8.05(d), the right to participate includes, without limitation, (w) the right to be reasonably apprised of the initiation and status of the Tax Contest, (x) the right to receive notice and copies of all correspondence received from any Governmental Authority, (y) the right to receive copies and reasonable opportunity to comment on any written materials to be provided to any Governmental Authority, including good faith consideration with respect to any such comments, and the right to attend any meetings or conference calls with respect to such Tax Contest and (z) the right to consent to any settlement or compromise of the Tax Contest (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided that, if the party whose consent to any such settlement or compromise is sought does not provide a response rejecting or consenting to such request within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of a written request of the other party, such consent shall be deemed to have been given.

(iv) This Section 8.05(d) shall exclusively govern with respect to the administration of any Tax Contest, and the provisions of Section 9.02(g) shall not apply; provided, however, in the event that any rights of the insurer under the R&W Policy conflict with this Section 8.05(d), the R&W Policy shall control for as long as applicable.

(e) Transfer Taxes. All federal, state, local, non-U.S. transfer, excise, sales, use, value added, registration, stamp, recording, property and similar Taxes or fees applicable to, imposed upon, or arising out of the transfer of the Sold Shares contemplated by this Agreement and all related interest and penalties (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid 50% by the Seller and 50% by the Buyer. The Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate in timely preparing and filing all Tax Returns in respect of Transfer Taxes as may be required to comply with applicable Law. Each of the Seller and the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avail itself of any available exemptions from any Transfer Taxes, and shall cooperate with the other in timely providing any information and documentation that may be necessary to obtain such exemptions.

(f) Tax Refunds. Seller shall be entitled to the amount of any Tax Refund of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (to the extent such Taxes were paid by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date or were Indemnified Taxes paid by Seller to the Buyer after the Closing) which Tax Refund is actually received (or in the case of a credit in lieu of a refund, utilized) by the Buyer, the Company, or the Company Subsidiaries after the Closing Date, net of any cost to the Buyer and its Affiliates attributable to the obtaining and receipt of such Tax Refund, except to the extent such Tax Refund arises as the result of a carryback of a loss or other tax benefit incurred in a Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date or such Tax Refund was included as an asset in the calculation of Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.04. The Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller any amount to which Seller is entitled pursuant to the prior sentence within two (2) Business Days of the receipt of the applicable Tax Refund by the Buyer, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries. To the extent such Tax Refund is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Governmental Authority, (i) the Buyer agrees to promptly notify the Seller in writing of such disallowance (or requirement to be returned), (ii) such disallowance (or requirement to be returned, as applicable) shall be treated as a Tax Contest under Section 8.05(d), and (iii) the Seller agrees promptly to repay the amount of such Tax Refund (together with any interest, penalties, or other additional amounts imposed by such Governmental Authority with respect thereto) to the Buyer. All payments made to the Seller under this Section 8.05(f) shall be treated by the parties as adjustments to the purchase price to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 8.06 Disclosure Generally. The Company Disclosure Schedule has been arranged, for purposes of convenience only, as separately titled Schedules corresponding to the Sections of Articles 3, 4 and 6 of this Agreement. Any information set forth in any Schedule or incorporated in any Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be considered to have been set forth in each other Schedule and be

deemed to modify each other section of Articles 3, 4 and 6 to the extent such information is reasonably apparent on its face as having application to such other Schedule or Section notwithstanding the absence of a cross-reference contained therein or a specific reference to such Schedule in such Section. The information contained in the Company Disclosure Schedule is disclosed solely for the purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever, including of any violation of Law or breach of any agreement.

Section 8.07 Confidentiality.

(a) The Buyer, the Seller and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement by and between Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and the Buyer, dated October 1, 2020 (the “NDA”), remains in full force and effect and, in addition, covenant and agree to keep confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the NDA, information provided to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the NDA and the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect.

(b) For seven (7) years following the Closing, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, use, disclose or divulge any confidential information of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, including information relating to their respective businesses, assets, liabilities, and all confidential and proprietary data and information relating to the customers, financial statements, conditions or operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, information of third parties that the Company, the Company Subsidiaries have agreed to keep confidential; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to information (i) which becomes available to them on a non-confidential basis from a third-party source that is not under any obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information, (ii) which is in the public domain or enters into the public domain independently through no fault of the Seller, or (iii) which such Person is required to disclose by Law or under the rules and regulations of any stock exchange upon which the securities of the Seller, or its direct or indirect parent entity, is listed, or the requirements of any self-regulatory body, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other parties reasonable time to review and comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. In the event the Seller or any of its Affiliates is required by Law to disclose such information, such Person shall promptly notify the Buyer and the Company in writing unless prohibited by Law, which notification shall include the nature of such legal requirement and the extent of the required disclosure, and shall cooperate with the Buyer, at the Buyer’s expense, to preserve, to the extent possible, the confidentiality of such information.

(c) From and after the Closing and subject to the terms thereof, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, if requested by the Buyer in writing, make the Buyer reasonably aware of the terms of, and enforce for the benefit of the Buyer and the Company, any confidentiality agreements entered into by the Seller or its Affiliates with any third party in anticipation of the potential sale of the Company by the Seller, to the extent applicable, with respect to confidential information of the Company as reasonably requested by the Buyer in writing; provided that the Buyer shall be solely responsible for all Losses, including out-of-pocket costs and expenses, related to such enforcement.

Section 8.08 Modification to the R&W Policy. The R&W Policy shall include a provision whereby the insurer expressly waives, and irrevocably agrees, except in the case of actual fraud, not to pursue, directly or indirectly, any subrogation rights against the Seller or any of its Affiliates, or any former stockholders, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, agents or Representatives of any of the foregoing with respect to any claim made by any insured thereunder and such Persons shall be express third-party beneficiaries of such provision. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to amend the R&W Policy in any manner adverse to the Seller or its Affiliates; provided that (x) the subrogation provisions therein may not be amended or waived in any manner that is adverse to the Seller

or any of its Affiliates without the Seller’s prior written consent and any other amendments, modifications or supplements to, or waivers under the R&W Policy that are, or would reasonably be expected to be, materially adverse to the Seller’s indemnification obligations set forth in Article 9 shall require the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.08 to the contrary but in any event subject to the Buyer’s obligations under Article 9, Buyer shall have the right, at its discretion, to control all decisions with respect to any claims or potential claims under the R&W Policy, including all decisions with respect to the handling and recovery with respect to such claims and potential claims.

Section 8.09 Certain Insurance Matters.

All insurance policies of the Seller or its subsidiaries (other than the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) in effect at any time on or prior to the Closing (“Seller Insurance Policies”), together with all rights, benefits and privileges thereunder, shall be retained by the Seller from and after the Closing, and the Buyer, the Company and Company Subsidiaries shall have no rights with respect thereto, except that, to the extent (and only to the extent) permitted by the Seller Insurance Policies and insurers, the Seller hereby authorizes the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to:

(a) assert claims (and Seller shall, at the Buyer’s expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Buyer in asserting claims) for any Losses with respect to claims under Seller Insurance Policies with third-party insurers, which are “occurrence basis” policies which provide coverage with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (“Occurrence Basis Policies”) arising out of insured incidents occurring from the date coverage thereunder first commenced until the Closing to the extent that the terms and conditions of any such Occurrence Basis Policies and any Contracts related thereto so allow; and

(b) continue to prosecute claims (and the Seller shall, at the Buyer’s expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Buyer in connection therewith) for any Losses with respect to claims properly asserted with the insurance carrier prior to the Closing under such Seller Insurance Policies with third-party insurers, which are “claims made basis” policies and which provide coverage with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (“Claims Made Policies”) arising out of insured incidents occurring from the date coverage thereunder first commenced until the Closing to the extent that the terms and conditions of any such Claims Made Policies and any Contracts related thereto so allow;

provided, that, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b) above: (i) the Buyer shall bear and shall promptly repay or reimburse the Seller for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by any member of the Parent Group associated with any claims made by any member of the Company Group, including any expenses, costs of filing a claim, arbitration costs, deductibles resulting from or allocable to any such claim made by any member of the Company Group and such claims will be subject to (and recovery thereon will be reduced by the amount of) any applicable deductibles, premium amounts paid, retentions, self-insurance provisions or any payment or reimbursement obligations of the Seller or its Affiliates in respect thereof; (ii) such claims will be subject to exhaustion of aggregate limits; and (iii) any recoveries with respect to the matters set forth on Schedule 8.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Seller Retained Insurance Claims”) shall be solely and exclusively retained by the Seller (and the Buyer shall, at the Seller’s expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and assist the Seller in recovering under such policies with respect to, such claims). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that the Parent Group and the Company Group have competing claims under an Occurrence Basis Policy or Claims Made Policy and there are insufficient coverage limits remaining under such policy, then Parent Group shall have first right of access to the remaining insurance limits. Promptly following receipt thereof, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer all proceeds received under the Seller Insurance Policies with respect to such claims (excluding the Seller Retained Insurance Claims) made in respect of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries pursuant to this provision and the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller all proceeds received under the Seller

Insurance Policies with respect to the Seller Retained Insurance Claims. Except to the extent set forth herein, Buyer will be solely responsible for acquiring and placing insurance policies to provide coverage for the Company and the Company Subsidiaries from and after the Closing. No covenant or agreement by any party hereto to indemnify any other party hereto shall release, or be deemed to release, any insurer with respect to any claim made under any Seller Insurance Policy, nor shall the inclusion of this provision be deemed to limit in any way the indemnification obligations of the parties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Seller Insurance Policies shall not include any insurance policies used to fund or otherwise provide benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan.

Section 8.10 Intellectual Property License.

(a) License to Buyer. Effective as of the Closing, and subject to the provisions hereof, the Parent Group (“Seller Licensors”) hereby grant, and agree to grant, to Buyer and its Subsidiaries (“Buyer Licensees”) a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid-up, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 8.10(d)), sublicensable (subject to Section 8.10(c)) license under the Seller Licensed IP, to use, reproduce, distribute, disclose, make, improve, display and perform (publicly and otherwise, subject to any applicable confidentiality restrictions), create derivative works of, and otherwise exploit in any manner to operate the Business in any field.

(b) License to Seller. Effective as of the Closing and subject to the provisions hereof Buyer and its Subsidiaries (“Buyer Licensors”) hereby grant, and agree to grant, to the Parent Group (“Seller Licensees”) a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid-up, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 8.10(d)), sublicensable (subject to Section 8.10(c)) license under the Company IP (excluding any Registered IP) in existence as of the Closing Date, to use, reproduce, distribute, disclose, make, improve, display and perform (publicly and otherwise, subject to any applicable confidentiality restrictions), create derivative works of, and otherwise exploit in any manner to operate the retained businesses and operations of Parent Group, other than the Business, in any field.

(c) Sublicensing. Each Licensee Party may sublicense the licenses granted to it by the Licensor Party pursuant to this Section 8.10 freely to a third party in connection with the operation of the Licensee Party’s business in the ordinary course; provided that each Licensee Party shall treat any material Trade Secrets or confidential information that embodies, or is, the Licensor Party’s confidential information or Trade Secrets with the same degree of care, that Licensee Party treats its own like confidential information and Trade Secrets, but in no event with less than reasonable care, and Licensee Party shall not disclose such Trade Secrets or confidential information licensed to it hereunder to a third party, except in connection with the disclosure of such Licensee Party’s own confidential information or Trade Secrets of at least comparable importance and value and on the same terms.

(d) Transfer of Licenses. Neither Licensee Party may assign or transfer the licenses granted to it pursuant to this Section 8.10 directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a Licensee Party may assign such licenses to a third party, or permit a third party to assume such license, in connection with acquisition of such Licensee Party (whether by stock or asset sale or merger or otherwise) or the sale of substantially all of the assets of Licensee Party to which this Agreement relates, to such third party, and (ii) such licenses may, in whole or in part, be assigned or transferred to, or assumed by, an Affiliate of Licensee Party. Any assignment in violation of this Section 8.10 shall be null and void.

(e) License Limitations.

(i) Except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Agreement (A) all rights and licenses granted from one Party to the other hereunder are granted “AS IS” and without any representation or warranty of any kind, (B) no representations or warranties whatsoever, whether express, implied or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, custom, trade, non-infringement, non-violation or non-misappropriation of third-party Intellectual Property, are made or given by or on behalf of a Party, and (C) all such representations and warranties, whether arising by operation of Law or otherwise, are hereby expressly excluded.

(ii) Except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Agreement, each Party reserves all rights and licenses to its Intellectual Property, and no other licenses are granted under this Agreement, including this Section 8.10, by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

(iii) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, upon and following the Closing, the licenses granted by it as the Licensor Party, are non-terminable and irrevocable, and that the Licensor Party’s sole remedy after the Closing for breach by the Licensee Party will be for such Licensor Party to bring a claim to recover damages and to seek appropriate equitable relief but not termination of the licenses granted by the Licensor Party.

(f) Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted to a Party as licensee hereunder, are, for purposes of section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of intellectual property within the scope of section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. The licensor acknowledges that the licensee, as a licensee of such rights and licenses hereunder, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. Each Party irrevocably waives all arguments and defenses arising under 11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(1) or successor provisions to the effect that applicable Law excuses such Party from accepting performance from or rendering performance to an entity other than the debtor or debtor-in-possession as a basis for opposing assumption of this Agreement in a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent that such consent is required under 11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(1) or any successor statute.

INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

Section 9.01 Survival Period. Other than for purposes of the R&W Policy and with respect to the Fundamental Representations, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Seller set forth in this Agreement and in any certificates delivered at the Closing in connection with this Agreement shall survive the Closing and terminate and expire on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “General Survival Date”) and shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. The Fundamental Representations set forth in this Agreement and in any certificates delivered at the Closing in connection with this Agreement shall survive the Closing and terminate and expire on the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the subject matter thereto and shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. The covenants and agreements in this Agreement that contemplate performance prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing and terminate and expire on the General Expiration Date and shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed at or after the Closing shall survive the Closing until fully performed in accordance with their respective terms. The indemnification obligations set forth on Schedule 9.02(a)(v) of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall survive the Closing and terminate and expire on the date that is six (6) years after the Closing Date. Solely for purposes of claims under the R&W Policy, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Seller set forth in this Agreement shall survive for the duration of the R&W Policy. Each period referenced in this Section 9.01 shall be referred to herein as a “Survival Period” and shall be subject to Section 9.02(e).

Section 9.02 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.02 and Section 9.03, after the Closing, the Seller shall, without duplication, indemnify the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Loss to the extent resulting or arising from:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty with respect to the Company or the Seller contained in Article 3 or Article 4 of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered at the Closing in connection with this Agreement;

(ii) any breach or non-performance of any covenant or agreement of the Company or the Seller set forth herein;

(iii) any Excluded Liability (other than any amounts that are required to be borne by the Buyer under this Agreement);

(iv) any items set forth on Schedule 9.02(a)(iv) of the Company Disclosure Schedule;

(v) any items set forth on Schedule 9.02(a)(v) of the Company Disclosure Schedule;

(vi) any items set forth on Schedule 9.02(a)(vi) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; and

(vii) any Indemnified Taxes.

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.02 and Section 9.03, after the Closing, the Buyer and its subsidiaries (including the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) (the “Buyer Indemnifying Parties”) shall, without duplication, indemnify the Seller and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Loss to the extent resulting or arising from:

(i) any breach by the Buyer of any Fundamental Representations made by the Buyer in Article 5 of this Agreement or any certificate delivered to the Seller or the Company in connection herewith;

(ii) any breach or non-performance by the Buyer of its covenants or agreements set forth herein; and

(iii) any Assumed Liability (other than any Indemnified Taxes or other amounts that are required to be borne by the Seller under this Agreement).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Seller’s and the Buyer Indemnifying Parties’ indemnification obligations under this Article 9 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i) the Seller shall have no liability for claims made under Section 9.02(a)(i) (other than with respect to any claims for actual fraud or for breaches of the Fundamental Representations) until the aggregate amount of Losses with respect to such claims exceeds $2,500,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified only for such Losses in excess of the Deductible;

(ii) the Seller’s aggregate liability for all Claims pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(i) (other than with respect to any claims for actual fraud or for breaches of the Fundamental Representations) shall not exceed $2,500,000; the Seller’s aggregate liability for all Claims pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(vi) shall not exceed $7,000,000; and the Seller’s aggregate liability for all claims (other than with respect to claims for actual fraud or Excluded Liabilities) pursuant to Section 9.02 (if added to all other amounts paid as indemnification payments by the Seller under Section 9.02(a)(i)) shall not exceed the Purchase Price;

(iii) the Buyer’s aggregate liability for all claims (other than with respect to claims for actual fraud or Assumed Liabilities) pursuant to Section 9.02(b) shall not exceed the Purchase Price; and

(iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Article 9 shall limit the liability of any party for actual fraud.

(d) The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Company and the Seller, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished to, or any investigation made by or knowledge of, any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their representatives.

(e) No Person shall be liable for any claim for indemnification under Section 9.02 or Section 9.02(b) unless written notice specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the claim for indemnification is delivered by the Person seeking indemnification to the Person from whom indemnification is sought prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period, in which case the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is the subject of such claim shall survive, to the extent of such claim only, until such claim is resolved, whether or not the amount of the Losses resulting from such breach has been finally determined at the time the notice is given.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, subject to the time and other economic limitations set forth herein, in pursuing the collection of any Losses against the Seller arising under Section 9.02(a)(i), after the retention amount under the R&W Policy has been satisfied, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall (other than with respect to any claim that is not covered pursuant to the R&W Policy) first seek recovery for such Losses under the R&W Policy, including by making a claim therefor under the R&W Policy and using commercially reasonable efforts to recover such Losses under the R&W Policy. The R&W Policy will be the Buyer’s sole source of recovery for breaches of representations and warranties in excess of the Deductible (other than in respect of Fundamental Representations or in the case of actual fraud) and the Buyer’s first source of recovery (subject to the Deductible, which will be the responsibility of the Seller) for breaches of Fundamental Representations and any Indemnified Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.02(f) will limit the right of a Buyer Indemnified Party to submit a Claim Notice (as defined below) hereunder in satisfaction of any Survival Period or other similar obligation hereunder.

(g) Promptly after the assertion by any third party of any claim (a “Third Party Claim”) against any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.02 (the “Indemnitee”) that results or may result in the incurrence by such Indemnitee of any Loss for which such Indemnitee would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall promptly provide notice of such Third Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”) to the parties from whom such indemnification could be sought (the “Indemnitors”). The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Article 9, except and only to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such failure; provided that such Claim Notice has been delivered within the applicable Survival Period for such claim set forth in Section 9.01. The Indemnitor shall have the right

to participate in or, by giving written notice to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after receipt from the Indemnitee of such Claim Notice (which shall also include an acknowledgement that the Indemnitor is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim), to assume and control the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnitor’s expense and by the Indemnitor’s own counsel (subject to the Indemnitee’s right to reasonably object to the selection of such counsel promptly following notice of such selection), and the Indemnitee shall cooperate in good faith in such defense, including providing the Indemnitor with reasonable access to and use of relevant corporate records and making available its officers and employees for depositions, pre-trial discovery and as witnesses at trial, if required (in each case, subject to the Indemnitee’s right to assert any good faith objection on the basis of legal privilege or contractual confidentiality obligations based upon advice of legal counsel, provided, that to the extent practicable and in accordance with such Contract or Law, and in a manner that does not result of the waiver of any such privilege, such Party shall make reasonable and appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements, or endeavor to seek a waiver of such contractual restrictions, under circumstances in which these restrictions apply). In the event that the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim (and continues to do so), subject to Section 9.02(i), the Indemnitee shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it, subject to the Indemnitor’s right to control the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor will not have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim or will cease to defend against such claim at the election of the Indemnitee, if: (i) injunctive or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages that the Indemnitee reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages, is sought and could reasonably be expected to be imposed against the Indemnitee, (ii) in the event the Third Party Claim were to be unfavorably decided, it would be reasonably likely to lead to Losses or other material obligation on the part of the Indemnitee, in each case, for which the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, (iii) at the time of the assumption or thereafter, a court of competent jurisdiction rules that the Indemnitor has failed to reasonably conduct the investigation, defense or prosecution of a claim, (iv) the Third Party Claim is asserted by or on behalf of a Person that is (A) a current executive officer of Parent or the Seller (if the Buyer is the Indemnitor) or the Buyer (if the Seller is the Indemnitor), or (B) a top twenty (20) client, supplier or service provider (as measured by payments from or to such client, supplier or service provider in the past twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Claim Notice) (a “Material Business Relationship”) of Parent or the Seller (if the Buyer is the Indemnitor) or the Buyer (if the Seller is the Indemnitor), (v) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, or (vi) the Indemnitor is also a party or has an interest in such Third Party Claim, which interest, on the advice of the Indemnitee’s outside counsel, creates a conflict between Indemnitor’s defense and Indemnitee’s defense under applicable principles of legal ethics that would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Indemnitee’s defense.

(h) The party controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) permit the other party (the “Non-Controlling Party”) to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim, (ii) conduct the investigation, defense and prosecution of such Third Party Claim with reasonable diligence and keep the Non-Controlling Party reasonably informed of material developments in such Third Party Claim at all stages thereof, (iii) promptly submit to the Non-Controlling Party copies of all pleadings, responsive pleadings, motions and other similar legal documents and papers received or filed in connection therewith (in each case, subject to the Indemnitee’s right to assert any good faith objection on the basis of legal privilege or contractual confidentiality obligations based upon advice of legal counsel, provided that to the extent practicable and in accordance with such Contract or Law, and in a manner that does not result of the waiver of any such privilege, such Party shall make reasonable and appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements, or endeavor to seek a waiver of such contractual restrictions, under circumstances in which these restrictions apply), and (iv) permit the Non-Controlling Party and its counsel to confer on the conduct of the defense thereof and (v) permit the Non-Controlling Party and its counsel an opportunity to review all filings to be submitted prior to their submission and consider in good faith any comments from the Non-Controlling Party and its counsel thereto.

(i) Neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnitee shall enter into settlement of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless there is no obligation, directly or indirectly, on the part of such other party to contribute to any portion of the payment for any of the Losses, such other party receives a general and unconditional release with respect to the claim (in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to such other party), there is no finding or admission of any violation of Laws or Governmental Authority by, or effect on any other claim that may be made against such other party, as a result of such consent or settlement, no injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnitee and, in the reasonable judgment of such other party, the relief granted in connection therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such other party or its reputation or prospects. For the avoidance of doubt, if the party whose consent to any such settlement is sought does not provide a response rejecting or consenting to such request within fifteen (15) calendar days, such consent shall be deemed to have been given. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the time, economic and other limitations set forth in this Article 9, in the event that any rights of the insurer under the R&W Policy conflicts with this Section 9.02(i), the R&W Policy shall control for so long as applicable.

(j) With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Agreement, all Losses shall be increased to take into account any Tax costs actually incurred by the Indemnitee or its Affiliates in connection with the incurrence of the receipt of the indemnity payment (to the extent such Taxes are (x) not already covered in the computation of the Losses and (y) payable in respect of the taxable year in which such Losses are incurred or either of the two (2) succeeding taxable years) but shall be reduced by any Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnitee or its Affiliates in connection with the incurrence of such Losses in the taxable year in which such Losses are incurred or either of the two (2) succeeding taxable years. The amount of any Loss incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties hereunder (and the amount of any Loss subject to indemnification hereunder) shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds (including, the R&W Policy) or third party payments actually received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties on account of such Loss, less any Losses (including increased premiums) to the extent incurred in connection with pursuing the collection of such recovery or the receipt of such recovery. In the event that an insurance or third party recovery is made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or their Affiliates with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (up to the amount which was indemnified), less any Losses (including increased premiums) to the extent incurred in connection with pursuing the collection of such recovery, shall be made reasonably promptly to the Seller.

(k) All indemnification payments made hereunder shall be treated by all parties as adjustments to the Purchase Price to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

(l) No Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for the same Loss twice under different provisions of this Agreement (it being understood and agreed, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to assert claims for indemnification under or in respect of more than one provision of this Agreement in respect of any single fact or circumstance).

(m) Except in the case of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12(a), for purposes of this Article 9, both the existence of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, and the amount of any Losses resulting from such inaccuracy or breach, shall be determined without giving effect to any “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar qualifications contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty or any definition contained therein.

(n) In no event shall “Losses” be deemed to include any punitive damages except in respect of amounts paid to an unrelated third party in respect of a Third Party Claim.

(o) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the limitations or exceptions set forth in this Article 9, including any Survival Periods with respect to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, shall in any way limit or modify the ability of Buyer to make claims under or recover under the R&W Policy.

Section 9.03 Exclusive Remedy. Except for claims for equitable remedies and subject to Section 11.08 and without limiting the procedures covered by Section 2.04, from and after the Closing, the indemnification provided by (A) Section 9.02(a) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses (including any liabilities or Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability or otherwise, but excluding claims involving actual fraud) that the Buyer Indemnified Parties may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with this Agreement, including with respect to any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representations or warranties or any breach or failure in performance of any covenants or agreements made by the Company or the Seller in this Agreement (but excluding the other Transaction Documents and the NDA) and (B) Section 9.02(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses (including any liabilities or Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability or otherwise, but excluding claims involving actual fraud) that the Seller Indemnified Parties may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with this Agreement, including with respect to any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representations or warranties or any breach or failure in performance of any covenants or agreements made by the Buyer in this Agreement (but excluding the other Transaction Documents and the NDA).

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 11.03 Construction; Severability. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. The headings of the Sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way restrict or otherwise modify any of the terms or provisions hereof. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law or regulation, but if any

provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law or regulation, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Agreement to “$” or “dollars” are to U.S. dollars.

Section 11.04 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each party shall pay all of its own fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, brokers or other representatives and consultants and appraisal fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby, the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (a) the words, “hereby,” “herewith,” “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or paragraph hereof; (b) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (c) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (d) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (e) the word “or” shall be deemed to mean “and/or”; and (f) any capitalized terms used in such Exhibits or Schedules and not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning set forth in this Agreement.

Section 11.05 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto; provided, further, that, (a) if the Closing occurs, the Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement in connection with any Buyer Change of Control, and (b) the Buyer may, at its election, assign its rights under this Agreement to any direct or indirect Affiliate of the Buyer, but no such assignment of this Agreement or any of the rights or obligations hereunder pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall relieve the Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 11.06 Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 11.07 Jurisdiction. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, only if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over particular matter, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or any other court of the State of Delaware), and each of the parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 11.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 11.08 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including Section 9.03), each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event of

a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages will be inadequate and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at Law. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 11.08, including the limitations set forth herein, the parties acknowledge and agree that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01, the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Seller, on the one hand, or the Buyer, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, be entitled to equitable relief, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, by the other, as applicable, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and agreements of the other under this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, with respect to any such breach or threatened breach, each party hereto (a) shall waive, in any action for equitable relief (including specific performance, injunctive relief and any other equitable remedy), the defense of adequate remedy at law, and (b) shall be entitled to equitable relief (including the compelling of specific performance of this Agreement, injunctive relief and any other equitable remedy) with no obligation to prove actual damages or post any bond in connection therewith, in any action or proceeding instituted in accordance with this Agreement. The Parties hereto have specifically bargained for the right to specific performance of the obligations hereunder.

If any litigation or other court action, arbitration or similar adjudicatory proceeding is commenced by any party hereto to enforce its rights under this Agreement, in accordance with its terms, against any other party, all fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by the prevailing party in such litigation, action, arbitration or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the losing party; provided that if a party to such litigation, action, arbitration or proceeding prevails in part, and loses in part, the court, arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such litigation, action, arbitration or proceeding shall award a reimbursement of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party on an equitable basis.

Section 11.11 Counterparts; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Releasees are intended third party beneficiaries of Section 6.11.

Section 11.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein contain the complete agreement between the parties hereto and supersede any other prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

Section 11.13 Parent’s Undertaking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent undertakes to cause the Seller to timely meet, and guarantees the performance of, all of the Seller’s obligations herein and to the extent Seller does not timely meet any obligation herein (including any indemnification or payment obligations), Parent shall directly perform such obligation on behalf of the Seller. This guaranty shall be a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and Parent hereby agrees that its obligation hereunder shall be primary and unconditional (and not as a surety), subject
