As promptly as practicable, but not later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Representative a certificate of the chief financial officer of Parent (the “Proposed Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith determination (each, without duplication) of (i) the Cash Amount (for the avoidance of doubt, other than in respect of the Blockers), (ii) the Debt Amount (for the avoidance of doubt, other than in respect of the Blockers), (iii) the Closing Working Capital (calculated in accordance with Exhibit A), which shall be based exclusively on the facts and circumstances as they exist as of the Adjustment Time and shall exclude the effects of any event, act, change in circumstance or similar development arising or occurring thereafter (it being understood and agreed by the Parties that Proposed Closing Statement shall be used to measure changes in Closing Working Capital and not as a form of indemnification), (iv) the Company Transaction Expenses Amount and (v) the Blocker Adjustment, in each case in accordance with the definitions thereof, and based on such calculations, Parent’s calculation of the Closing Date Merger Consideration. Parent shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies and its and their respective officers, employees, agents and representatives to, reasonably assist the Representative and its agents in their review of the Proposed Closing Statement and shall provide the Representative and its agents reasonable access during normal business hours to the personnel, properties, books and records of the Acquired Companies for such purpose and for the other purposes set forth in this Section 3.7 without cost to the Representative. Parent acknowledges and waives any actual or potential conflict of the officers, employees, agents and representatives of the Acquired Companies assisting the Representative as described in the immediately preceding sentence and will not, and will cause the Acquired Companies not to, prevent such access by the Representative.

(b) Release of Undisputed Escrow Amount. If Parent’s calculation of the Adjustment Amount as set forth on the Proposed Closing Statement is positive, (i) Parent shall immediately pay to the Representative, for further distribution to the Securityholders (to be paid to the Securityholders as if such amount were being distributed pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(i)) such positive Adjustment Amount; provided that in no event will Parent be required to pay an amount in excess of the Escrow Amount (it being understood and agreed that such payment shall not limit the rights of the Representative under this Section 3.7), and (ii) Parent and the Representative shall immediately deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the entire Escrow Amount to the Representative, for further distribution to the Securityholders (to be paid to the Securityholders as if such amount were being distributed pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(i)). If Parent’s calculation of the Adjustment Amount as set forth on the Proposed Closing Statement is negative, Parent and the Representative shall immediately deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount to be paid to Parent solely and exclusively from the Escrow Account (up to a maximum amount equal to the then-remaining Escrow Amount) and Parent and the Representative shall immediately deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release any portion of the Escrow Amount remaining following such

payment to Parent to the Representative for further distribution to the Securityholders (to be paid to the Securityholders as if such amount were being distributed pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(i)).

(c) Methodology. The Estimated Closing Statement, the Proposed Closing Statement and the Final Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the definitions of Cash Amount, Debt Amount, Closing Working Capital and Company Transaction Expenses. For purposes of calculating the Blocker Tax Amount and Closing Working Capital, gain or loss to the Blockers in connection with transfers of GB Holdco pursuant to the steps described in Schedule 6.11 of the Disclosure Letter shall be determined by assuming a value of GB Holdco as set forth on Schedule 3.7(c) of the Disclosure Letter; provided that if, at any time prior to the Final Determination Date, GB Holdco, any GB BlockerCo, any Securityholder, or any Affiliate of any Securityholder, enters into any agreement to sell (directly or indirectly) or award (e.g., in connection with the performance of services) any equity interest in GB Holdco or any GB BlockerCo, or GB Holdco enters into any agreement to sell (directly or indirectly) substantially all of the assets of GB Holdco, the Representative shall notify Parent of such agreement, and the value of GB Holdco may, at Parent’s election, be assumed to be the valuation implied by the purchase price in such sale agreement or reflected on or implied by such award agreement (or associated election under Section 83(b) of the Code). For the avoidance of doubt, in calculating the component line items of such statements, no effect shall be given to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than the steps describe in Schedule 6.11 of the Disclosure Letter).

(d) Notice of Disagreement. In the event the Representative disputes the accuracy of the Proposed Closing Statement, the Representative shall notify Parent in writing of its objections within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Proposed Closing Statement and shall set forth, in writing and in reasonable detail, the reasons for the Representative’s objections (a “Notice of Disagreement”). In the event Parent does not provide the Representative any of the materials reasonably requested by the Representative in accordance with Section 3.7(a) within five (5) days of request therefor, such thirty (30) day review period shall be extended by one (1) day for each additional day required for Parent to fully respond to such request.

(e) Initial Method of Resolution. During the fifteen (15) days immediately following the delivery of any Notice of Disagreement, Parent and the Representative shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to any matter specified in such Notice of Disagreement. During such period, Parent and the Representative and their respective agents shall each have access to the other Party’s working papers, trial balances and similar materials prepared in connection with the other Party’s preparation of the Proposed Closing Statement and the Notice of Disagreement, as the case may be. The matters set forth in any such written resolution executed by Parent and the Representative shall be final and binding on the Parties on the date of such written resolution.

(f) Dispute Resolution Procedure. If, at the end of such fifteen (15) day period specified in Section 3.7(e), Parent and the Representative have not been able to resolve, in writing, all differences that they may have with respect to any matter specified in such Notice of Disagreement, Parent and the Representative shall submit to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx or, if such firm is unable to serve in such capacity, to such other nationally recognized independent accounting firm with experience in such matters that is mutually agreed upon by Parent and the

Representative (the “Accounting Firm”), for review and resolution of solely those matters specified in such Notice of Disagreement that remain in dispute (and as to no other matter), and the Accounting Firm shall reach a final, binding resolution of such matters, which final resolution shall not be subject to collateral attack for any reason (other than fraud or manifest error) and shall be (i) in writing and signed by the Accounting Firm, (ii) within the range of the amount of each item in dispute contested by the Representative and Parent on an item by item basis, (iii) furnished to Parent and the Representative as soon as practicable after the items in dispute have been referred to the Accounting Firm, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days after such referral, (iv) made in accordance with this Agreement and (v) conclusive and binding upon the Parties on the date of delivery of such written resolution. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Firm shall be limited to fixing mathematical errors and determining whether the items in dispute were determined in accordance with the definitions of Cash Amount, Debt Amount, Closing Working Capital and Company Transaction Expenses and the methodology set forth on Exhibit A without regard to materiality and the Accounting Firm is not to make any other determination and shall act as an arbitrator and not as an expert. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either Parent or the Representative or less than the smallest value of such items claimed by either Parent or the Representative. Parent and the Representative agree to execute, if requested by the Accounting Firm, a reasonable engagement letter in customary form. Parent and the Representative agree to cooperate fully with the Accounting Firm and promptly provide all documents and information requested by the Accounting Firm so as to enable it to make such determination as quickly and as accurately as practicable. The procedure outlined in this Section 3.7(f) is referred to as the “Dispute Resolution Procedure”.

(g) Final Closing Statement. The Proposed Closing Statement shall become the “Final Closing Statement” (i) on the earliest of (A) the first (1^st) day following the end of the review period of the Proposed Closing Statement (as calculated in accordance with Section 3.7(d)), if a Notice of Disagreement has not been delivered to Parent by the Representative, (B) the date upon which the Representative acknowledges in writing that it has no objections to the Proposed Closing Statement, (C) the date of resolution of all matters set forth in the Notice of Disagreement pursuant to Section 3.7(e) and (D) the date upon which the Accounting Firm reaches a final, binding resolution of solely those matters specified in any Notice of Disagreement pursuant to Section 3.7(f), (ii) with such changes as are necessary to reflect matters resolved pursuant to any written resolution executed pursuant to Section 3.7(e), on the date such resolution is executed, if all outstanding matters are resolved through such resolution and (iii) with such changes as are necessary to reflect the Accounting Firm’s resolution of matters in dispute, on the date the Accounting Firm delivers its final, binding resolution pursuant to Section 3.7(f). The date on which the Proposed Closing Statement shall become the Final Closing Statement pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence is referred to as the “Final Determination Date”.

(h) Dispute Resolution Expenses. Parent and the Representative shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Dispute Resolution Procedure. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by Parent and the Representative (for the account of the Securityholders) based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total

amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of the Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs payable to the Accounting Firm would be borne by Parent and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne by the Representative (for the account of the Securityholders). The Representative shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 10.15 for any Charges incurred by the Representative under this Section 3.7, including for the reasonable fees and expenses of any accountants, advisors or other representatives engaged by the Representative in connection with the determination of the Final Closing Statement under this Section 3.7 (including any Dispute Resolution Procedure hereunder).

(i) No Adverse Actions. Following the Closing until the Final Determination Date, Parent agrees that it shall not, and shall cause the Acquired Companies not to, solely with respect to the calculations required pursuant to this Section 3.7, take any actions with respect to the accounting books and records of the Acquired Companies on which the Proposed Closing Statement and Final Closing Statement are to be based or the items reflected thereon, that are not consistent with the definitions of Cash Amount, Debt Amount, Closing Working Capital and Company Transaction Expenses.

3.8 Final Adjustment Payment.

(a) No later than the second (2nd) Business Day following the Final Determination Date:

(i) if the Adjustment Amount is positive:

(1) with respect to each Securityholder who shall have delivered to the Company, on or prior to such date, a completed Letter of Transmittal, Parent shall pay, or shall cause the Surviving Company to pay, to each Securityholder such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Adjustment Amount in excess of the Escrow Amount, which amount shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in such Securityholder’s Letter of Transmittal; provided that in no event will Parent be required to pay an aggregate amount pursuant to this Section 3.8(a)(i)(1) in excess of the Escrow Amount; and

(2) Parent and the Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release the Escrow Amount to the Representative, in each case, for further distribution to the Securityholders as if such amounts were being distributed pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(i)(1).

(ii) if the Adjustment Amount is negative, then Parent and the Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount to be paid to Parent solely and exclusively from the Escrow Account (up to a maximum amount equal to the then-remaining Escrow Amount) and Parent and the Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release any portion of the Escrow Amount remaining following such

payment to Parent to the Representative for further distribution to the Securityholders as if such amounts were being distributed pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(i)(1).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent’s sole recourse for payment of any such deficiency pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(ii) shall be to the Escrow Account and neither Parent nor the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any claim against any Securityholder or the Representative or any of their respective Affiliates in respect thereof.

3.10 No Withholding. Parent (and its Affiliates) shall not be entitled to deduct and withhold any amount from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, except such amounts as Parent (or its Affiliates) is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law as a result of a change in Law after the date hereof or any failure to provide any Tax certificate in accordance with Section 3.6(b) or Section 6.8 or as reasonably requested by the Paying Agent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an IRS Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable); provided, that the Company shall deduct and withhold from any payments required to be made to current or former directors, officers, employees and consultants pursuant to this Agreement such amounts that are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payments under any applicable Tax Law. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to reduce or eliminate any amounts that would be required to be deducted or withheld on any payments hereunder.

3.11 No Liability. Parent, Merger Subs and the Acquired Companies shall have no Liability to any of the Securityholders for any act or omission by the Escrow Agent, the Representative or Payment Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Payment Agent Agreement. As long as Parent complies with its obligations in Section 3.6(b) to make such payments to Payment Agent, Parent and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) shall have no further responsibility in connection with (or Liability for) payment of the Closing Date Merger Consideration and Securityholders shall only look to Payment Agent for any amount they are due in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT AND MERGER SUBS

Parent and each Merger Sub represent and warrant to the Company as follows:

5.1 Organization of Parent and Merger Sub. Each of Parent and each Merger Sub is a corporation or limited liability company, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized.

5.2 Ownership of Merger Sub; No Prior Activities. Each Merger Sub is a wholly‑owned Subsidiary of Parent, was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has engaged in no business activity other than as contemplated by this Agreement. Except for obligations or liabilities incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Merger Sub has not and will not have incurred, directly or indirectly, through any Subsidiary or Affiliate, any obligations or liabilities or engaged in any business activities of any type or kind whatsoever or entered into any agreements or arrangements with any Person.

5.3 Authorization; Enforceability. Each of Parent and each Merger Sub has requisite organizational power (corporate or otherwise) and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby by Parent and each Merger Sub and the consummation by Parent and each Merger Sub of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational (corporate or otherwise) action, and no other organizational (corporate or otherwise) proceedings on the part of Parent and each Merger Sub and no stockholder votes are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, other than the filing and recordation of the Certificates of Merger. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Parent and each Merger Sub and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Parent and each Merger Sub, enforceable in accordance with its terms and conditions, subject to Laws of general application relating to public policy, bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of

debtors and rules of Law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

5.4 Noncontravention. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by Parent and each Merger Sub with any of the terms or provisions hereof will (i) violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge or other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which Parent, any Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates or any of their respective properties or assets is subject or any provision of their respective Organizational Documents, or (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel or require any notice under any agreement, Contract, lease, license, instrument or other arrangement to which Parent or any Merger Sub is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of their respective properties or assets are subject; provided, however, no representation or warranty is made in foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) with respect to such matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Except for the filing of the Certificates of Merger under the DLLCA, DGCL and the pre‑merger notification requirements of the HSR Act or where the failure to give notice to, make any filing with or obtain the authorization, consent or approval of a Governmental Authority would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect, neither Parent nor any of the Merger Subs needs to give any notice to, make any filing with or obtain any authorization, consent or approval of any Governmental Authority in order for the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.5 Brokers’ Fees. Neither Parent nor any of the Merger Subs has any Liability or obligation to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder or agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than those that are solely the responsibility of Parent.

5.6 Litigation. There are no (a) Proceedings pending against, or to Parent’s Knowledge, threatened against, Parent or Merger Subs or their respective Affiliates or (b) material judgment, order or decree against Parent, Merger Subs or their respective Affiliates, in each case, that would result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

5.7 Financial Ability. As of the Closing, Parent will have sufficient immediately available funds to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the payment of the amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.6 and the payment of all associated costs and expenses of Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent has provided the Company a true and complete copy, as of the date hereof, of an executed commitment letter and fee letter (as may be amended or replaced from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, collectively, the “Debt Financing Commitment Letters”) from Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc. (“MSSF”, together with each lender that becomes a party to such commitment letter as a commitment party thereunder, the “Lenders”) to provide, subject to the terms and conditions therein, debt financing in the amounts set forth therein for the purpose of funding in part the cash consideration for the Merger (the “Debt Financing”) (provided, that provisions in any fee letter included in the Debt Financing Commitment Letters related solely to fees, economic terms and “flex” provisions may be

redacted so long as none of the redacted provisions would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the availability of or impose additional conditions on, the availability of the Debt Financing at the Closing). As of the date hereof, none of the Debt Financing Commitment Letters have been amended or modified and no such amendment or modification is contemplated or pending (other than amendments or modifications to the Debt Financing Commitment Letters solely to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents and similar entities). As of the date hereof, each Debt Financing Commitment Letter is valid, binding and, to Parent’s Knowledge, enforceable by Parent against the other parties thereto in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or (b) applicable equity principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). As of the date hereof, each Debt Financing Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and the respective obligations and commitments have not been withdrawn, rescinded or terminated or otherwise amended or modified in any respect and no such withdrawal, rescission or termination is contemplated by Parent or any Merger Sub or, to the knowledge of Parent and each Merger Sub, the other parties thereto (other than any customary amendment to include new lenders, lead arrangers, book runners, syndication agents and other similar entities). As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) constitutes or would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach or default on the part of Parent or any Merger Sub or, to the Knowledge of Parent and the Merger Subs, any of the other parties to the Debt Financing Commitment Letters. Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 hereof, as of the date hereof, Parent has no reason to believe that any of the conditions in the Debt Financing Commitment Letters will not be satisfied, or that the full amount of the Debt Financing will not be made available at or prior to Closing in order to consummate the Merger. As of the date hereof, no Lender has notified Parent of its intention to terminate any of the Debt Financing Commitment Letters or not to provide the Debt Financing. Assuming (i) the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 hereof and (ii) that the Debt Financing is funded in accordance with the terms of the Debt Financing Commitment Letters, the aggregate net proceeds from the Debt Financing will be sufficient to fund the Closing Date Merger Consideration, the payment of any fees and expenses of or payable by Parent and the Merger Subs and any other amounts required to be paid by Parent and the Merger Subs in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (the “Required Financing Amount”). Parent has paid in full any and all commitment or other fees required by any of the Debt Financing Commitment Letters that are due as of the date hereof, and will pay, after the date hereof, all such fees as they become due. As of the date hereof, there are no side letters or other Contracts (other than an engagement letter dated the date hereof between Parent and MSSF, a term loan commitment letter dated the date hereof between Parent and MSSF, and a term loan fee letter dated the date hereof between Parent and MSSF, each of which, for the avoidance of doubt, relates to the proposed refinancings of the Debt Financing and each of which does not modify the terms or conditions of the Debt Financing) relating to the Debt Financing to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is a party, other than as expressly set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment Letters. The Debt Financing Commitment Letters are not subject to any conditions other than as expressly set forth therein. As of the date hereof, each of Parent and each of the Merger Subs is unaware of any fact or occurrence existing on the date hereof that would reasonably be expected to make any of the assumptions or any of the statements set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment Letters

inaccurate or that would reasonably be expected to cause the Debt Financing Commitment Letters to be ineffective.

5.8 Solvency. Neither Parent nor any Merger Sub is entering into this Agreement or the other agreements contemplated hereby to which it is, or is specified to be, a party, with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors. Immediately after giving effect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any financing in connection with the Closing), the Surviving Blockers and the Surviving Company and each of its Subsidiaries will be Solvent. No transfer of property is being made and no obligation is being incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Surviving Blockers, the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries.

5.9 Acknowledgements by Parent and Merger Subs.

(a) Parent and Merger Subs acknowledge that they have conducted to their satisfaction an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Acquired Companies, and, in making their determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and Merger Subs have relied solely on the results of their own independent investigation and verification and the representations and warranties of the Company and the Blockers expressly and specifically set forth in Article IV (Representations and Warranties of the Company and Blockers) as qualified by the Disclosure Letter.

None of the Company, the Blockers or any Securityholder makes or provides, and Parent and Merger Subs hereby waive, any warranty or representation, express or implied, as to the quality, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, conformity to samples, or condition of the Acquired Companies’ assets or any part thereof. Parent and Merger Subs, on behalf of themselves and any of their Affiliates, specifically disclaim any reliance on any representations and warranties other than the representations and warranties contained in Article IV.

(b) PARENT AND MERGER SUBS SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, (X) PARENT AND MERGER SUBS ARE ACQUIRING THE COMPANY AND BLOCKERS ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS AND (Y) OTHER THAN THE REPRESENTATIONS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE IV (REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY AND BLOCKERS), NONE OF THE ACQUIRED

(c) In connection with the investigation by Parent and Merger Subs of the Acquired Companies, Parent and Merger Subs have received or may receive from the Acquired Companies certain projections, forward looking statements and other forecasts. Parent and Merger Subs acknowledge that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections, forward looking statements and other forecasts, that Parent and Merger Subs are familiar with such uncertainties, that Parent and Merger Subs are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all projections, forward looking statements and other forecasts so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such projections, forward looking statements and other forecasts), and that none of the Acquired Companies, any of the Securityholders (including the Representative) or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective managers, partners, officers, directors, employees, advisors, consultants, agents or representatives, whether in an individual, corporate or any other capacity, will have or be subject to any Liability or indemnification obligation to Parent or Merger Subs or any other Person resulting from (nor shall Parent or Merger Subs have any claim with respect to) the distribution to Parent or Merger Subs, or Parent’s, any Merger Sub’s use of, or reliance on, any information, documents, projections, forward looking statements, and forecasts (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such projections, forward looking statements and forecasts), or other material made available to Parent or any Merger Sub in certain “data rooms,” confidential information memoranda or management presentations in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, regardless of the legal theory under which such Liability may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise.

Letters solely to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Financing Commitment Letters as of the date hereof), (y) would reasonably be expected to materially impair, materially delay or prevent the availability of all or a portion of the Debt Financing or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (z) would reduce the aggregate cash amount of the Debt Financing to an amount that is less than the Required Financing Amount, or (2) early termination of the Debt Financing Commitment Letters (other than in connection with Alternative Debt Financing). Parent shall furnish to the Company a copy of any amendment, modification or waiver of any Debt Financing Commitment Letter upon execution thereof, in each case, to the extent entered into prior to Closing; provided, that any amendment of any fee letter may be redacted to the extent permitted under Section 5.7. Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing (I) of any material breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach or default) by any party to any Debt Financing Commitment Letter or definitive agreement for the Debt Financing of which Parent obtains knowledge, (II) of the receipt by any of Parent, any Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives of any notice or other communication from any Financing Source with respect to any actual, threatened or alleged material breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Debt Financing Commitment Letter or any definitive agreement for the Debt Financing or any provision of the Debt Financing contemplated pursuant to any of the foregoing (including any proposal by any Financing Source to withdraw, terminate or make a material change in the terms of (including the amount of Debt Financing contemplated by) the Debt Financing Commitment Letters), (III) if for any reason any of Parent or any Merger Sub believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements for the Debt Financing and (IV) of the termination or expiration prior to Closing of any Debt Financing Commitment Letter or definitive agreement for the Debt Financing.

OTHER COVENANTS

8.1 Tax Matters.

(a) Transfer Taxes. All federal, state, local, foreign and other Transfer Taxes applicable to, imposed upon or arising out of the Merger shall be borne one hundred percent (100%) by Parent; provided that any Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the GB Restructuring shall be borne by GB Holdco. Parent shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, the Parties will, and will cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(b) Reserved

(c) Straddle Period. With respect to any Taxes (and associated refunds, credits or reductions in Tax liability) imposed with respect to a Straddle Period:

(i) if such Taxes are imposed on a periodic or annual basis (e.g., property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during such Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; and

(ii) in all other cases, the amount of such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed (A) as if such Straddle Period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date and, (B) in the case of any Taxes attributable to ownership of any equity interest in an entity that is a partnership for U.S. Federal income Tax purposes or a “controlled foreign corporation” (within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code or any comparable state, local or foreign Law), as if the taxable period of such partnership or controlled foreign corporation ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(d) Tax Return Preparation.

(i) The Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Flow-Through Tax Returns with respect to taxable periods ending before the Closing Date that are required to be filed after the Closing Date (taking into account extensions) in a manner consistent with past practices of the relevant Group Company. The Representative shall provide to Parent for review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (as duly extended) therefor drafts of all such Flow-Through Tax Returns prepared by the Representative. The Representative shall incorporate any reasonable comments received at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date of such Tax Returns from Parent with respect to such Flow-Through Tax Returns prepared by the Representative, and Parent shall file, or cause to be filed, such Flow-Through Tax Returns as revised. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent shall not be required to file any Tax Return if Parent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that filing such Tax Return is reasonably likely to expose Parent to any criminal penalties or monetary sanctions.

(ii) Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Flow-Through Tax Returns with respect to taxable periods ending on or after the Closing Date (taking into account extensions) in a manner consistent with past practices of the relevant Group Company. Parent shall provide to the Representative for review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (as duly extended) therefor drafts of all such Flow-Through Tax Returns prepared by Parent. Prior to filing, Parent shall incorporate any reasonable comments received from the Representative at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date of such Tax Returns with respect to such Flow-Through Tax Returns prepared by Parent. Following the conclusion of a taxable year in which the

Closing occurs, the Surviving Company shall provide each Person who was one of its members during such taxable year, within the time permitted under applicable Law (taking into account extensions), but in any case no later than ninety (90) days after December 31, 2018, a Schedule K-1 for such taxable year and such other information as such Person may reasonably request in connection with the filing of his, her or its U.S. federal and state income tax returns for such taxable year.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, all income Tax deductions attributable to the payment of Company Transaction Expenses, Company Debt or the Blocker Debt Amount (it being understood that the seventy percent (70%) safe harbor set forth in Revenue Procedure 2011-29, 2011-1 C.B. 746, shall be applied to any “success-based fees” as described therein) shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent permitted under applicable Law, including for purposes of (A) calculating the Blocker Tax Amount and the Blocker Tax Deductions hereunder and (B) reporting such income Tax deductions upon any Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies.

(e) Tax Contests. Parent and the Representative shall jointly control any Tax examination, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding (a “Tax Contest”) of a Flow-Through Tax Return of each Group Company with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date); provided, that with respect to any such Tax Contests, neither Party shall agree to any settlement of such Tax Contest without the other Party’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided further, that, for the avoidance of doubt Parent shall have sole control over all matters in such Tax Contest relating solely to the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date.

(f) Tax Characterization. The Parties agree that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) the Company Merger shall be treated as a taxable sale of partnership interests by the Company Securityholders (other than the Blockers), and (ii) each of the Blocker Mergers shall be treated as (x) a redemption by each of the Blockers of a portion of the Blocker Securityholders’ equity in such Blocker in exchange for securities of the corresponding GB BlockerCo, followed by (y) a taxable sale by the Blocker Securityholders of the remainder of such equity in the Blocker to Parent (or its Affiliate), in each case consistent with Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 79-273, 1979-2 C.B. 125, and the Parties agree to report the Company Merger and the Blocker Mergers consistently with such treatment for all Tax purposes. Within ninety (90) Business Days after the Final Determination Date, the Representative shall deliver to Parent a schedule setting forth the allocation of the purchase price (and liabilities) among the assets of the Company that complies with Sections 751 and 755 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). The Parties agree that the Purchase Price Allocation shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the allocation methodology set forth in Exhibit I. If Parent objects to the Purchase Price Allocation within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof from the Representative, then Parent and the Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve promptly any such objection. If Parent and the Representative do not resolve the objection within thirty (30) days after Parent has so objected, then the dispute shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the procedural principles of Section 3.7(f) and this Section 8.1(d). The Parties shall update the Purchase Price Allocation to reflect any further adjustments to the purchase price in a manner

consistent with the principles used to create the Purchase Price Allocation. The Parties agree to prepare all Tax Returns and to report all items for all Tax purposes consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation as finalized under this Section 8.1(d).

(g) Cooperation. Parent and the Representative shall reasonably cooperate in preparing and filing all Tax Returns and conducting Tax Contests in respect of the Acquired Companies, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with such Taxes and in resolving all disputes and audits or defending any claim or assessment relating to such Taxes. The Party requesting such cooperation shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the other Parties paid to third parties.

(h) No Section 338 Elections. Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall (or, from and after the Closing, shall cause or permit a Surviving Blocker to) make an election under Section 336 or Section 338 of the Code with respect to the Blocker Mergers.

(i) Allocations. The Parties agree that the income, gain, deductions and losses of the Company attributable to the Company Securities (other than Company Securities held by the Blockers) for the taxable year in which the Closing occurs shall be divided and allocated between the Company Securityholders and Parent (or its Affiliate) by taking into account their varying interests during such taxable year in accordance with Section 706(d) of Code using the interim “closing of the books” method.

8.2 Access to Information.

(a) From and after the Closing, Parent, the Surviving Blockers and the Surviving Company shall afford (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to afford) the Representative, the Securityholders and their respective Affiliates reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the books and records of Parent and the Acquired Companies (and shall permit such Persons to examine and copy such books and records to the extent reasonably requested by such party) and shall cause their Affiliates to furnish all information reasonably requested by the Representative, the Securityholders or their respective Affiliates relating to the ownership or operations of the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing; provided, however, that subject to Section 10.17, nothing in this Section 8.2(a) shall require Parent, the Surviving Blockers or the Surviving Company to furnish to the Representative, the Securityholders or their respective Affiliates any materials prepared by the Surviving Blocker or the Surviving Company’s financial or legal advisors which is subject to an attorney-client privilege or an attorney work product privilege or which may not be disclosed pursuant to applicable Law. For a period of six (6) years following the Closing, or such longer period as may be required by applicable Law or necessitated by applicable statutes of limitations, Parent shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, maintain all such books and records in the jurisdiction in which such books and records were located prior to the Closing Date and shall not destroy or dispose of any such books and records. On and after the end of such period, Parent shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, provide the Representative with at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice before destroying any such books and records, during which period the Representative may elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records.

For a period of six (6) years following the Closing, or such longer period as may be required by applicable Law or necessitated by applicable statutes of limitations, GB Holdco shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain all such books and records in the jurisdiction in which such books and records were located prior to the Closing Date and shall not destroy or dispose of any such books and records. On and after the end of such period, GB Holdco shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide Parent with at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice before destroying any such books and records, during which period Parent may elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records.

8.3 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification.

(a) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, the exculpation, indemnification and expense advance and reimbursement provisions contained in the Acquired Companies’ Organizational Documents limiting the personal liability of directors and officers for damages, shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would make any of such provisions less favorable to the directors or officers of the Acquired Companies than pertain to such directors or officers on the date of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, from the Closing Date and for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Parent and the Acquired Companies shall (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former officers and directors of the Acquired Companies (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and pay or reimburse the D&O Indemnified Parties for, all losses, obligations, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (whether or not resulting from third party claims and including interest, penalties, out-of-pocket expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in the investigation or defense of any of the same or in asserting any of their rights hereunder) resulting from, arising out or relating to their services as directors, officers or employees of the Acquired Companies, whether asserted or claimed at or after or occurring on or prior to the Closing Date (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the fullest extent permitted or required under (A) applicable Law or (B) the Acquired Companies’ Organizational Documents, including provisions relating to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any action or suit, and (ii) advance to any D&O Indemnified Parties expenses incurred in defending any action or suit with respect to such matters, in each case to the extent such D&O Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under the Acquired Companies’ Organizational Documents in effect on the date of this Agreement and subject to the terms of such Organizational Documents; provided, however, that in the event any claim or claims are asserted or made within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of each such claim shall continue until final disposition of such claim.

(b) Parent and the Acquired Companies hereby acknowledge that the D&O Indemnified Parties have or may, in the future, have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by other entities and/or organizations (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors” and, individually, an “Other Indemnitor”). Parent and the

Acquired Companies hereby agree that, with respect to any advancement or indemnification obligation owed, at any time, to a D&O Indemnified Party by Parent, the Acquired Companies, the Representative or any Other Indemnitor, whether pursuant to any certificate of incorporation, by-laws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, indemnification agreement or other document or agreement and/or pursuant to this Section 8.3 (any of the foregoing is herein an “Indemnification Agreement”), Parent and the Acquired Companies (i) shall at all times, be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to a D&O Indemnified Party shall be primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by a D&O Indemnified Party shall be secondary), (ii) shall at all times be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by a D&O Indemnified Party and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement or any Indemnification Agreement), without regard to any rights that a D&O Indemnified Party may have against the Other Indemnitors, and (iii) irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims (A) against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation, indemnification or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof and (B) that the D&O Indemnified Party must seek expense advancement or reimbursement, or indemnification, from any Other Indemnitor before Parent and the Acquired Companies must perform their expense advancement and reimbursement, and indemnification obligations, under this Agreement. Parent and the Acquired Companies hereby further agree that no advancement, indemnification or other payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of a D&O Indemnified Party with respect to any claim for which a D&O Indemnified Party has sought indemnification from Parent or the Acquired Companies shall affect the foregoing, and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement, indemnification or other payment to all of the rights of recovery of such D&O Indemnified Party against Parent or the Company, and Parent or the Acquired Companies shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless against such amounts actually paid by the Other Indemnitors to or on behalf of such D&O Indemnified Party to the extent such amounts would have otherwise been payable by Parent or the Acquired Companies to a D&O Indemnified Party.

(c) If following the Closing, Parent, the Surviving Blockers, the Surviving Company, as the case may be, or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) reorganizes or consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the resulting, continuing or Surviving Company or entity of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or (ii) liquidates, dissolves or transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person or Persons, then, and in such case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Blocker or the Surviving Company assume all of the obligations of Parent, the Surviving Blocker or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, as set forth in this Section 8.3.

(d) Immediately prior to the Closing, Parent shall purchase, from an insurer chosen by the Company, a single payment, run-off policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering current and former officers and directors of any Acquired Company, the material terms of which, including coverage and amount, are no less favorable in any material respect to the D&O Indemnified Parties than the policy in effect as of the date hereof, such

policy to become effective at the Closing and remain in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Closing.

(e) Parent shall, or shall cause the Acquired Companies to, pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by any D&O Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity or other obligations in this Section 8.3.

(f) This Section 8.3 is intended for the benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the D&O Indemnified Parties and the Other Indemnitors under this Section 8.3 and the benefits of the exculpation, indemnification and expense advance and reimbursement provisions contained in the Acquired Companies’ Organizational Documents, whether or not parties to this Agreement, and each of such Persons shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein.

8.4 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of at least twelve (12) months following the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, provide to each GM Employee who continues as an employee of the Surviving Company or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries following the Closing Date (a “Continuing Employee”) with (i) base salary, wage and cash incentive compensation opportunities at a rate not less than the rate of such Continuing Employee’s base salary, wage and cash incentive compensation opportunities in effect immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) employee benefits (including retirement, severance, vacation and welfare benefits but excluding the value of equity compensation) that are no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing Employee under the Employee Benefit Plans as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, provided that to the extent that any such benefits are provided to a Continuing Employee following the Closing pursuant to an Employee Benefit Plan sponsored by a member of the GB Group, the benefits thereunder shall be deemed to be no less favorable than immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to cause any employee benefit policies or plans (including in each case with respect to severance benefits, but excluding equity compensation) covering the Continuing Employees following the Closing (collectively, the “Post-Closing Plans”) to recognize the service of each Continuing Employee with an Acquired Company for all purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate, vacation entitlement, severance and all other benefit entitlements (but not for benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan), except to the extent such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to (i) waive any pre-existing condition limitations and waiting periods to the extent waived or not applicable under, or previously satisfied by such Continuing Employee under, the relevant Employee Benefit Plan, and (ii) cause the Continuing Employees to be given credit under the applicable Post-Closing Plan for amounts paid prior to the date on which such Continuing Employees commence participation in such Post-Closing Plan during the plan year in which such participation commences under a corresponding Employee Benefit Plan during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Post-Closing Plan.

(i) Effective as of the Closing, subject to Section 8.4(c)(ii), GB Holdco shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, assume or retain, as applicable, and pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, in due course in full, (A) all Liabilities under all Employee Benefit Plans, whenever incurred, other than those that are Acquired Company Benefit Plans or are otherwise explicitly assumed by the Acquired Companies pursuant to this Agreement, (B) all Liabilities arising out of, relating to or resulting from the employment or service or termination of employment or service of any employee, officer, director or consultant to any of the Acquired Companies, and their dependents and beneficiaries (and any alternate payees in respect thereof), who do not qualify as GM Employees or GM Personnel (including all GB U.S. Employees and Former GB U.S. Employees), (C) all Liabilities arising out of, relating to or resulting from the transfer of GM Employees to the Acquired Companies that arise in respect of any applicable notice and/or severance obligations or obligations to notify and/or consult in compliance with any collective bargaining agreement or applicable Law, (D) any Liabilities of the Acquired Companies as a result of being treated as an ERISA Affiliate with any Person at any time during the six-year period prior to the Closing Date, (E) all Liabilities relating to GM Employees located in China in respect of such GM Employees’ employment with or service to the Company or any of its Affiliates prior to, on or after the Closing, regardless of whether such GM Employees are employed by Parent or its Subsidiaries immediately following the Closing, other than any such Liabilities that are addressed in Section 8.4(c)(ii)(A) below, (F) all Liabilities in respect of the Management LLC Membership Interests, other than those specifically set forth in the Management LLC Schedule and (G) any other Liabilities or obligations expressly assigned to or assumed or retained by GB Holdco or its Subsidiaries under this Agreement.

(d) Employment Transfers.

(i) Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, no later than the Closing, the Company and its Affiliates shall (A) cause the employment of any GM

Employee in the U.S. to be transferred to an Acquired Company at or prior to the Closing, such that such GM Employees shall be employees of one of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing and (B) cause the employment of any individual who is employed in the U.S. by the Acquired Companies but who does not qualify as a GM Employee (including all GB U.S. Employees) to be transferred to GB Holdco or one of its Subsidiaries.

(ii) The Company hereby agrees to update Schedule 4.13(h)(ii) of the Disclosure Letter within two Business Days prior to Closing to reflect any GB U.S. Employees hired after the date hereof.

(iii) Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, Parent agrees that Parent will cause one of its Subsidiaries to make offers of employment to all GM Employees in China who are actively employed as of the Closing, on terms consistent with Section 8.4(a), with such GM Employees’ employment to be effective upon the Closing. Any such GM Employee who accepts such offer of employment and transfers to Parent or its Subsidiaries will be deemed to be a Continuing Employee.

(iv) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or by the terms of any individual agreement, none of the transfers of employment contemplated by this Section 8.4(d) shall be deemed to have resulted in a termination of employment for purposes of determining eligibility for severance or other separation payments and benefits solely as a result of such transfer, or any entitlement to receive payment for accrued but untaken vacation or other paid time off; provided, however, that in the event any such transfer results in such payments, benefits or other transfer-related Liabilities, GB Holdco and its Subsidiaries shall be solely responsible for all such Liabilities with respect thereto.

(e) Payments to Holders of Management LLC Membership Interests. Effective as of the Closing, the Company shall cause the Management LLC Managers to accelerate the vesting of all Management LLC Membership Interests held by GM Employees and, in respect of each such Management LLC Membership Interest, shall distribute to each such GM Employee at the Closing an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) the portion of the Closing Date Merger Consideration payable with respect to such Management LLC Membership Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Management LLC Agreement and (ii) an additional amount that the Company determines in good faith would be payable with respect to such Management LLC Membership Interest in accordance with the terms of the Management LLC Agreement in the event of a sale of the GB Group based on the initial assumed value of GB Holdco set forth in Section 3.7(c), less any applicable tax withholding. Management LLC will distribute to each such GM Employee who holds Management LLC Membership Interests any payment Management LLC receives pursuant to Section 3.8(a) in accordance with the Management LLC Agreement, applicable Law, including the DLLCA, and any other Contract to which Management LLC may be bound. Management LLC will provide Parent with a schedule of amounts payable to GM Employees pursuant to this Section 8.4(e) (such schedule, the “Management LLC Schedule”) at the time the Allocation Schedule is delivered to Parent pursuant to Section 3.5, which shall be prepared in accordance with the Management LLC Agreement, any award agreements in respect of the Management LLC Membership Interests,

any other Contracts applicable thereto (including any consents from the holders of the Management LLC Membership Interests that reflect the treatment pursuant to this Section 8.4(e)), and with applicable Law, including the DLLCA. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Management LLC Managers to adopt, as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, such resolutions or take such other actions (including obtaining any required consents) as may be required to effect the foregoing.

Unless payment on a pro rata basis or otherwise is required at or immediately prior to the Closing by applicable Law, as of the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Acquired Companies to continue the Sales Incentive Plan and the EBITDA Plan (collectively, the “Cash Incentive Plans”) in respect of the performance periods in effect as of the Closing Date until the end of the applicable performance periods, subject to any adjustment to the applicable performance goals that Parent determines in good faith is necessary to reflect the Closing. With respect to all Liabilities pursuant to the Cash Incentive Plans in respect of (i) GM Employees located outside of China and (ii) Continuing Employees located in China that relate to performance periods that are not completed prior to the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies) to, make payments to eligible GM Employee participants thereunder, including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the full performance period in which the Closing occurs (and, in the case of GM Employees outside of China, in respect of any performance period completed prior to Closing), based on Parent’s good faith determination of the level of achievement of performance goals in respect of such periods. GB Holdco shall retain all Liabilities pursuant to the Cash Incentive Plans in respect of GM Employees located in China that relate to any performance periods that are completed prior to the Closing, including the obligation to make payments to such GM Employees based on GB Holdco’s good faith determination of the level of achievement of performance goals in respect of such period, and all obligations in respect of reporting and withholding of Taxes.

10.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, the Disclosure Letter, the TSA, the Escrow Agreement and the other documents referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof. The sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including any representations and warranties set forth herein, made in connection herewith or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) or any claim or cause of action otherwise arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be those remedies available at law or in equity for breach of contract against the Parties only (as such contractual remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement), and the Parties agree that neither Party shall have any remedies or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) for any statements, communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, representations or warranties not explicitly set forth in this Agreement.

Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 10.5 shall be null and void ab initio.

102

10.9 Governing Law; Submission of Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Selection of Forum.

(a) This Agreement, and all Proceedings (whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (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; provided that any suit, action or other proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Lender or any

104

Lender Related Party arising out of or relating to (x) the Debt Financing or (y) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will, except as expressly set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment Letters, be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements executed and performed entirely within such State without regard to conflicts of law principles of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York to apply.

(b) Each of the Parties (i) irrevocably agrees that all Proceedings (whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) shall be exclusively resolved in any federal or state court sitting in Delaware, (ii) irrevocably agrees service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to them at their respective addresses provided in Section 10.8 shall be effective service of process against it for any such Proceeding brought in any such court, and (iii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such Proceeding in any such court. Each of the Parties hereby agrees that a final judgment in any Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Parties hereby agrees that it will not bring, or permit any of its Affiliates to bring, any suit, action or other proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Lender or any Lender Related Party arising out of or relating to (x) the Debt Financing or (y) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any forum other than a state or federal court sitting in New York County, New York, and each of the parties hereto agrees that the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 10.9(c) hereof shall be applicable to any such suit, action or other proceeding.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROCEEDING (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE DEBT FINANCING, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROCEEDING THAT INVOLVES EITHER PARTY’S REPRESENTATIVES.

10.10 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Parent, the Company and the Representative. There shall be no amendment of any provision of this Agreement that by Law requires further approval by the Securityholders without the further approval of the Securityholders. No waiver by any Party of any provision of this Agreement or any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Party making such waiver, nor

105

shall such waiver be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence; provided that this Section 10.10 and Section 9.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.9(a), 10.9(b), 10.9(c) and 10.16 (in each case, together with any related definitions and other provisions of this Agreement to the extent a modification or termination would serve to modify the substance or provisions or such Sections) may not be amended, modified, superseded, canceled or waived in a manner that is adverse to the Lenders or the Lender Related Parties without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

10.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

10.12 Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

10.13 Incorporation of Exhibits, Schedules and Disclosure Letter. The Exhibits, Schedules and Disclosure Letter identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

10.14 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Parties agree that (a) irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of this Agreement or obligations, undertakings, covenants or agreements of the Parties were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and (b) money damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy for any such failure to perform or any breach of this Agreement. Accordingly, it is agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court specified in Section 10.9 without proof of actual damages or any requirement to post a bond, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and each Party agrees that it shall not oppose (and hereby waives any defense in any action for) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance or other equitable remedy is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law, in equity or otherwise. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of, and to prevent or cure breaches of the covenants required to be performed by Parent and Merger Sub under this Agreement, and including to cause Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger and the Closing and to make the payments contemplated by this Agreement, including Article III in addition to any other remedy to which the Company is entitled at law or in equity, including the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article IX and seek money damages (including damages based on loss of the economic benefits of the Merger to the Securityholders).

106

10.15 Representative.

(a) The Representative is hereby irrevocably appointed as the representative, agent, proxy, and attorney-in-fact for all the Securityholders for all purposes under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Payment Agent Agreement, including the full power and authority on the Securityholders’ behalf: (i) to consummate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith, (ii) to negotiate and settle disputes arising under, or relating to, this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith, (iii) to receive and disburse to the Securityholders any funds received on behalf of the Securityholders under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Payment Agent Agreement or otherwise, (iv) to withhold any amounts received on behalf of the Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, including the Representative Holdback Amount, or otherwise to satisfy any and all obligations or liabilities incurred by the Securityholders or the Representative in the performance of their duties hereunder, (v) to direct the distribution of funds, designate or engage a paying agent to distribute funds (including the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration, the Adjustment Amount, if any, payable in accordance with Section 3.7 and funds from the Escrow Account and the Representative Holdback Amount), make or direct payments of funds from the Representative Holdback Amount, give receipts for funds, authorize deliveries to Parent of cash from the Escrow Account in satisfaction of claims asserted by Parent and object to any claims by any Person against the Escrow Account, (vi) to execute and deliver any amendment or waiver to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Payment Agent Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith (without the prior approval of the Securityholders) and (vii) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of the Securityholders in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Payment Agent Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith. The Securityholders, by approving this Agreement (whether by vote or by execution of a Letter of Transmittal), further agree that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any Securityholder. All decisions and actions by the Representative shall be binding upon all of the Securityholders and no Securityholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Representative shall not have the authority to increase the Liability of any Securityholder on a non pro rata basis. If an allocation is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the Representative shall distribute funds to the Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share. Parent may conclusively rely, without independent verification or investigation, upon any such decision or action of the Representative as being the binding decision or action of every Securityholder, and Parent shall not be liable to any Securityholder or any other Persons for any actions taken or omitted from being taken by them or by Parent in accordance with or reliance upon any such decision or action of the Representative. The Representative shall have no duties or obligations to the Securityholders hereunder, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. By its approval of, or consent to, the Merger and the adoption of this Agreement, its acceptance of any consideration pursuant to this Agreement or delivery of a Letter of Transmittal, each Securityholder hereby irrevocably approves and adopts the appointment of the Representative as such Securityholder’s representative, agent, proxy, and attorney-in-fact.

107

(b) By the approval of this Agreement, each Securityholder hereby severally, for itself only and not jointly, and up to its Pro Rata Share, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Representative and its partners, managers, officers, agents and other representatives against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts incurred by such Persons in connection with any Proceeding to which the Representative or such other Person is made a party by reason of the fact that it is or was acting as the Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, other than as a result of the Representative’s bad faith or willful misconduct.

(c) Neither the Representative nor any of its members, managers, officers, agents or other representatives shall incur any Liability to any Securityholder by virtue of the failure or refusal of such Persons for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to the performance of their duties hereunder, except for actions or omissions constituting bad faith or willful misconduct. The Representative and its members, managers, officers, agents and other representatives shall have no Liability in respect of any Proceeding brought against such Persons by any Securityholder, regardless of the legal theory under which such Liability may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, unless such Persons took or omitted taking any action in bad faith or as result of willful misconduct.

(d) The Representative shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to recover from any amounts withheld by the Representative, including the Representative Holdback Amount, its reasonable and documented out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred in the performance of its duties hereunder (the “Charges”). In the event the Representative Holdback Amount is insufficient to satisfy such deficit, each Securityholder will be obligated to pay any remaining unpaid amounts to the Representative on a several, and not joint, basis, up to each such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share.

(e) In furtherance of, and without limiting any rights of the Representative set forth in Sections 10.15(a)(iv), 10.15(a)(v) and Section 10.15(d), the Representative shall have the right, and the Securityholders hereby authorize the Representative, to withhold from the Closing Date Merger Consideration the Representative Holdback Amount (in connection with the allocation and distribution of the Closing Date Merger Consideration in accordance with Article III) to satisfy potential future obligations of the Securityholders and expenses incurred by the Representative in connection with performing its obligations under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Representative Holdback Amount shall be retained by the Representative until such time as the Representative shall determine, and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the balance of the Representative Holdback Amount, if any, shall be delivered by the Representative or a paying agent designated by the Representative to the Securityholders as if such amounts were being distributed pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(i)(1). The Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Representative Holdback Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Representative Holdback Amount other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Representative Holdback Amount shall be held in an FDIC-insured account or accounts at a nationally recognized financial institution.

108

(f) Following the Closing Date, a majority‑in‑interest of the Securityholders may, by written consent, appoint a new representative as the Representative. Notice, together with a copy of the written consent appointing such new representative and bearing the signatures of a majority‑in‑interest of the Securityholders, must be delivered to Parent not less than ten (10) days prior to such appointment. Such appointment will be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date such consent is received by Parent.

(g) In the event that the Representative becomes unable or unwilling to continue in its capacity as Representative, or if the Representative resigns as the Representative, a majority‑in‑interest of the Securityholders may by written consent appoint a new representative as the Representative; provided that any such resignation by the Representative shall not be effective until the appointment of a new representative as the Representative. Notice and a copy of the written consent appointing such new representative and bearing the signatures of a majority‑in‑interest of the Securityholders must be delivered to Parent. Such appointment will be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date such consent is received by Parent.

10.16 Non-Recourse. Except as set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, (a) this Agreement may be enforced only against, and any Proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought only against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party and (b) with respect to each Party, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor, lender or representative of such named Party shall have any Liability (whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity or otherwise, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose Liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of such named Party or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Section 10.16 are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by the Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, incorporators, members, partners, stockholders, agents, attorneys and other representatives referenced in this Section 10.16 and each such Person shall be a third party beneficiary of this Section 10.16. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender or Lender Related Party shall have any Liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose Liability of an entity party against its owners or affiliates) to the Acquired Companies, GB Holdco, the Representative or any Company Representative for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to the Debt Financing or this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of the Debt Financing or this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance thereof; and each Company Representative waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any Lender or any Lender Related Party.

10.17 Provision With Respect to Legal Representation. Each of the Parties hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that (a) Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP may serve as counsel to the Representative and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Acquired Companies, on the other hand, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement,

109

the other documents referred to herein and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other documents referred to herein, and (b) following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP may serve as counsel to the Representative and any manager, director, member, partner, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Representative, in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any such representation, the “Post-Closing Representation”), notwithstanding such representation. Each of the Parties hereby does, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, consent to the foregoing arrangements and irrevocably waive (and will not assert) any actual or potential conflict of interest or any objection that may arise from any representation by Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP expressly permitted hereunder (notwithstanding the fact that Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP may have represented, and may currently or in the future represent, Parent and/or any of its Affiliates (including any portfolio companies) or representatives with respect to matters unrelated to this Agreement, the other documents referred to herein and the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the other documents referred to herein). The Parties acknowledge that the foregoing provision applies whether or not Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP provides legal services to the Surviving Blockers, the Surviving Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date. Each of the Parties, on their own behalf and on behalf of their directors, members, officers employees and Affiliates, and each of their successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications between the Representative and its counsel and the Acquired Companies and its counsel, including Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any Proceeding arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, any agreements contemplated by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by any of the foregoing, or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, are privileged communications between such Party and such counsel and from and after the Closing do not pass to Parent, the Surviving Blockers or the Surviving Company notwithstanding the Merger and instead survive, remain with and are controlled by the Representative (the “Privileged Communications”), without any waiver thereof. Neither the Surviving Blockers, the Surviving Company, nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Parent, the Surviving Blockers or the Surviving Company or any of their Affiliates, will seek to obtain the same by any process. Parent, the Surviving Blockers and the Surviving Company, together with any of their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, successors or assigns, agree that no Person may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications, whether located in the records or email accounts of any Acquired Company, the Surviving Blockers or the Surviving Company, or otherwise (including in the knowledge of their officers and employees), in any action against or involving any of the Parties after the Closing. Parent, the Surviving Blockers and the Surviving Company agree not to assert that the privilege has been waived as to the Privileged Communications that may be located in the records or email server (or in the knowledge of the officers and employees) of any Acquired Company, the Surviving Blockers or the Surviving Company. From and after the Closing, each of Parent and the Surviving Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, waives and will not assert any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP and the Acquired Companies occurring prior to the Closing in connection with any Post-Closing Representation. Parent acknowledges that the Company and Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP will be relying on the waiver provided hereby and that this Section 10.17 is intended for the benefit of, and to grant third party rights to Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP to enforce this Section 10.17. Parent further

110

acknowledges that its consent and waiver under this Section 10.17 is voluntary and informed, and that it has obtained independent legal advice with respect to this consent and waiver. This Section 10.17 shall amend, restate and supersede any other conflict waiver entered by Parent or one of its Affiliates in favor of Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any such conflict waiver in the Confidentiality Agreement.

10.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by means of facsimile or by PDF file (portable document format file)), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
