(a) Section 2.9(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules sets forth a calculation of the Working Capital, the Cash Amounts and the Funded Debt of the Business, in each case, as of September 30, 2020 (the “Sample Closing Statement”), including the asset and liability line items included in the calculation of Working Capital, prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with the accounting principles, practices, procedures, methodologies and policies that were employed in preparing the Business Financial Information (with consistent classifications, judgments, inclusions, exclusions and valuation and estimation methodologies), as modified by the accounting principles set forth on Section 2.9(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules (collectively, the “Transaction Accounting Principles”).

-21-

(b) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Seller’s good-faith estimate of (i) the Adjustment Amount (such estimate, the “Estimated Adjustment Amount”), (ii) the Closing Cash Amounts (such estimate, the “Estimated Closing Cash Amounts”) and (iii) the Closing Funded Debt (such estimate, the “Estimated Closing Funded Debt”). The Closing Statement shall set forth the calculations of such amounts in a manner consistent with the Sample Closing Statement and be prepared in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles, including the use of the same line items and line item entries set forth on and used in the preparation of the Sample Closing Statement. The Estimated Adjustment Amount and the Estimated Closing Funded Debt shall be used to calculate the Closing Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing. Purchaser agrees that, following the Closing through the date that the Post-Closing Statement becomes final and binding in accordance with this Section 2.9, it will not take any actions with respect to any accounting books, records, policies or procedures on which the Sample Closing Statement or the Closing Statement is based, or on which the Post-Closing Statement is to be based, that are inconsistent with the ordinary course past practice of the Business (or of Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Business) prior to the Closing or that would impede or delay the final determination of the Post-Closing Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no changes shall be made (including any changes reflected in the Post-Closing Statement) in any reserve or other account existing as of the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the Business Financial Information or other amount reflected in such balance sheet, except as a result of events occurring after such date and prior to the Closing and, in such event, only in a manner consistent with the Transaction Accounting Principles.

(c) As promptly as reasonably possible and in any event within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and will provide to Seller, a written statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”), setting forth a good-faith calculation of the Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash Amounts and the Closing Funded Debt. The Post-Closing Statement shall set forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s calculations of such amounts in a manner consistent with the Sample Closing Statement and shall be prepared in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles, including the use of the same line items and line item entries set forth on and used in the preparation of the Sample Closing Statement.

(d) Within forty-five (45) days following receipt by Seller of the Post-Closing Statement, Seller shall deliver written notice to Purchaser of any dispute Seller has with respect to the calculation, preparation or content of the Post-Closing Statement (the “Dispute Notice”); provided, however, that if Seller does not deliver any Dispute Notice to Purchaser within such forty-five (45)-day period, the Post-Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail (i) any item on the Post-Closing Statement that Seller disputes, together with reasonable detail of the basis for such dispute and (ii) Seller’s calculation of the amount of such item. Upon receipt by Purchaser of a Dispute Notice, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute set forth therein. If Purchaser and Seller fail to resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (the “Dispute Resolution Period”), then Purchaser and Seller jointly shall engage, within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the Dispute Resolution Period, a nationally recognized independent accounting firm selected jointly by Seller and Purchaser (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to resolve any such dispute; provided that, if Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree on the Independent Accounting Firm, then each of Seller and Purchaser shall select a nationally recognized independent accounting firm, and the two (2) firms will mutually select a third (3rd) nationally recognized independent accounting firm to serve as the Independent Accounting Firm. As promptly as practicable, and in any event not more than fifteen (15) days following the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, Purchaser and Seller shall each prepare and submit a presentation detailing such Party’s complete statement of proposed resolution of each issue still in dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm (and such presentation, and all other communications with the Independent Accounting Firm, will be simultaneously made or delivered to the other Party). Purchaser and Seller shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to, as soon as practicable after the submission of the presentations described in the immediately preceding sentence and in any event not more than twenty (20) days following such presentations, make a final determination of the appropriate amount of each of the line items that remain in dispute as indicated in the Dispute Notice (and that have not been thereafter resolved by written agreement of the Parties). With respect to each disputed line item, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Seller or Purchaser, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, in the Dispute Notice and the Post-Closing Statement, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to those line items that remain in dispute as indicated in the Dispute Notice (and that have not been thereafter resolved by written agreement of the Parties) and whether any disputed determinations of the Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash Amounts and the Closing Funded Debt were properly calculated in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles and the provisions of this Agreement. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Seller and Purchaser in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of line items unsuccessfully disputed or defended, as the case may be, by each such Party (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) bears to the total dollar amount of disputed line items presented by both Parties. All determinations made by the Independent Accounting Firm, and the Post-Closing Statement, as modified by the Independent Accounting Firm and to reflect any items resolved by written agreement of the Parties, will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties absent manifest error.

-22-

(e) For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.9, each of Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with and make available to each other, the Independent Accounting Firm and each of their respective Representatives all information, records, data and working papers, in each case to the extent related to the Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities, Business, or Purchased Companies (and Subsidiaries thereof), and shall permit access to its and their facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation, analysis and review of the Post-Closing Statement and the resolution of any disputes thereunder.

(f) The “Final Purchase Price” means the Base Purchase Price, plus (i) the Closing Cash Amounts, plus (ii) the Adjustment Amount (which may be a positive or negative number), minus (iii) the Closing Funded Debt, in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(d).

(g) If the Closing Purchase Price shall exceed the Final Purchase Price, then Seller shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to such excess to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Purchaser to Seller; or if the Final Purchase Price shall exceed the Closing Purchase Price, then Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to such excess to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller to Purchaser. Any such payment is to be made within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash Amounts and the Closing Funded Debt are finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9.

(h) The process set forth in this Section 2.9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any of the Parties and their respective Affiliates for any disputes related to the Closing Working Capital, the Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash Amounts, the Closing Funded Debt, the Closing Purchase Price, the Final Purchase Price and the calculations and amounts on which they are based or set forth in the related statements and notices delivered in connection therewith.

Section 2.10 Non-Assignment; Consents.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, assign, transfer or convey any Purchased Asset (other than any Purchased Entity Shares) if an attempted sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance thereof in connection with the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement would be prohibited by Law or would, without the approval, authorization or consent of, Filing with, or granting or issuance of any license, order, waiver or permit by, any third party or Governmental Entity (collectively, “Approvals”), (i) constitute a breach or other contravention in respect thereof, (ii) be ineffective, void or voidable, or (iii) adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Seller Entities, Purchaser, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents or Affiliates, unless and until such Approval is obtained.

(b) Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, at no cost to Seller or any of its Affiliates, any Approval (other than Regulatory Approvals, which shall be governed by Section 5.1) required to sell, assign or transfer any Purchased Asset (other than any Purchased Entity Shares) and to obtain the unconditional release of Seller and its Affiliates so that Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for the Assumed Liabilities. If any such Approval is not obtained prior to Closing, the Closing shall nonetheless take place subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII, and until the earlier of (1) such time as such Approval or Approvals are obtained and (2) the later of (A) five (5) years following the Closing and (B) to the extent any such Approval is in respect of a Purchased Asset (other than any Purchased Entity Shares) that is or arises out of a Contract, the expiration of such Contract in accordance with its terms, the Parties will cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to implement any arrangement reasonably acceptable to the Parties intended to both (x) provide Purchaser, to the fullest extent practicable, the claims, rights and benefits of any such Purchased Assets and (y) cause Purchaser to bear all costs and Liabilities thereunder from and after the Closing in accordance with this Agreement (including by means of any subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement). In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Purchaser will promptly pay, satisfy, perform and discharge when due any Liability (including any liability for Taxes) arising thereunder.

-24-

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require Seller or any of its Affiliates to sell, assign, transfer or convey any Excluded Asset from the Purchased Companies or their Subsidiaries (or from the Seller Entities) to Seller or one or more of its Affiliates if an attempted sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance thereof in connection with the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement would be prohibited by Law or would, without an Approval (i) constitute a breach or other contravention in respect thereof, (ii) be ineffective, void or voidable, or (iii) adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Seller Entities, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents or Affiliates, unless and until such Approval is obtained.

(d) If any such Approval referred to in Section 2.10(c) is not obtained prior to Closing, Seller will notify Purchaser of such fact and the Closing shall nonetheless take place subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII, and until the earlier of (1) such time as such Approvals are obtained and (2) the later of (A) five (5) years following the Closing Date and (B) to the extent any such Approval is in respect of an Excluded Asset that is or arises out of a Contract, the expiration of such Contract in accordance with its terms, the Parties will cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to implement any arrangement reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller intended to both (x) provide Seller and its Affiliates, to the fullest extent practicable, the claims, rights and benefits of any such Excluded Asset and (y) cause Seller to bear all costs and Liabilities thereunder from and after the Closing in accordance with this Agreement (including by means of any subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement). In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Seller will promptly pay, satisfy, perform and discharge when due any Liability (including any liability for Taxes) arising thereunder.

(e) Any Contract entered into prior to the Closing with a third party to which Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party that does not exclusively relate to the Business (and is not otherwise set forth on Section 2.4(b)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules) but inures to the benefit or burden of both the Business and the Retained Businesses, other than any enterprise-wide Contracts, Contracts with respect to off-the-shelf software and Contracts with any Taxing Authority (each, a “Shared Contract”) shall constitute a Purchased Asset and be assigned, transferred and conveyed subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the other provisions of this Section 2.10) only with respect to (and preserving the meaning of) those parts that relate to the Business, to either a Purchased Entity (or Subsidiary thereof) or Purchaser, if so assignable, transferrable or conveyable, or appropriately amended prior to, on or after the Closing, so that Purchaser shall be entitled to the rights and benefits of those parts of the Shared Contract that relate to the Business and shall assume the related portion of any Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall any Person be required to assign (or amend), either in its entirety or in part, any Shared Contract that is not assignable (or cannot be amended) by its terms without obtaining one or more Approvals and (ii) if any Shared Contract cannot be so partially assigned by its terms or otherwise, or cannot be amended, without such Approval or Approvals, until the earlier of such time as such Approval or Approvals are obtained or two (2) years following the Closing, the Parties will cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to establish an agency type or other similar arrangement reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser intended to both (x) provide Purchaser, to the fullest extent practicable under such Shared Contract, the claims, rights and benefits of those parts that relate to the Business and (y) cause Purchaser to bear all costs and Liabilities of those parts that relate to the Business from and after the Closing in accordance with this Agreement (including by means of any subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement). In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Purchaser will promptly pay, satisfy, perform and discharge when due any Liability (including any liability for Taxes) arising under the parts of any such Shared Contract to the extent related to the Business.

-25-

(f) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller, the Seller Entities and their respective Affiliates harmless from and against all Liabilities relating to or arising out of the portions of any Shared Contracts that relate to the Business, and Seller Parent shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates (which for avoidance of doubt shall include the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries) harmless from and against all Liabilities relating to or arising out of the portions of any Shared Contracts that do not relate to the Business. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any transfer or assignment to Purchaser of any Purchased Asset or any part of a Shared Contract that shall require an Approval as described above in this Section 2.10 shall be made subject to such Approval being obtained, and neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to agree to any arrangement or take any action in connection with the matters contemplated by this Section 2.10 that would, in Seller’s good-faith judgment, (i) constitute a breach or other contravention in respect of any Purchased Assets or Shared Contract, (ii) be ineffective, void or voidable, (iii) adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Seller Entities or any of their respective officers, directors, agents or Affiliates, or (iv) require Seller or any of its Affiliates to pay or commit to pay any amount or incur any obligation in favor of or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise, regardless of any provision to the contrary in the underlying Contract, including any requirements for the securing or posting of any bonds, letters of credit or similar instruments, or the furnishing of any guarantees) to any Person. Without limiting Section 2.10(b), notwithstanding the fact that any applicable Approval is not obtained prior to the Closing, each of the assets described in Section 2.4 shall be deemed to be Purchased Assets under this Agreement and each of the Liabilities described in Section 2.6 shall be deemed to be Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement, including in each case for purposes of the calculation of Working Capital.

Section 2.11 Earn-Out Payment.

(a) Following the Closing, Seller shall be entitled to receive an additional cash payment (the “Earn-Out Payment”) of (i) if the aggregate Adjusted EBITDA of the Business for the Reference Period is greater than or equal to One Hundred Twenty Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($127,500,000) but less than One Hundred Seventy Two Million Dollars ($172,000,000), then Forty-Five Million Dollars ($45,000,000) and (ii) if the aggregate Adjusted EBITDA of the Business for the Reference Period is greater than or equal to One Hundred Seventy Two Million Dollars ($172,000,000) (the “EBITDA Target”), then Seventy Million Dollars ($70,000,000). Purchaser shall deliver to Seller (or to any Affiliate of Seller designated by Seller) by wire transfer, to an account or accounts designated by Seller (or by such Affiliate), immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Earn-Out Payment within three (3) Business Days of the final determination of the Adjusted EBITDA of the Business for the Reference Period and the Earn-Out Payment pursuant to Section 2.12.

-26-

(b) From and after the Closing and until the completion of the Reference Period, Purchaser covenants and agrees that Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries) to (i) operate the Business and the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries in good faith and not take any action or fail to take any action with the purpose of avoiding or reducing the Earn-Out Payment payable to Seller hereunder; (ii) operate the Business and the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries in substantially the same manner as Purchaser and its Affiliates would if all of the benefits and costs related to such operation (including the Earn-Out Payment) were for the sole benefit and account of Purchaser; and (iii) maintain separate records for the Business so as to enable Purchaser to prepare the Earn-Out Payment Statement and calculate the Earn-Out Payment accurately and correctly (and for Seller to review the same) and in accordance with Section 2.11 and this Section 2.12. The right of Seller to receive any Earn-Out Payment Amount is solely a contractual right (and not a fiduciary relationship) between Purchaser and Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, the Earn-Out Payment shall be considered a component of purchase price, including for tax and accounting purposes.

Section 2.12 Payment Procedures.

(a) Promptly following completion of the annual financial statements of the Business for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023 and in no event later than January 31, 2024, Purchaser shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Seller a true and correct statement of the Adjusted EBITDA of the Business for the Reference Period, which shall be derived from the audited financial statements of the Business for the Reference Period and calculated in a manner consistent with the illustrative calculation and principles set forth on Section 1.1(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, and the resulting Earn-Out Payment (the “Earn-Out Statement”). Promptly following completion of (i) the GGB Project and the final resolution of all GGB Claims and (ii) the receipt of any GGB Claim Recoveries (and in no event later than sixty (60) days following any such event), Purchaser shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Seller a true and correct statement of the aggregate GGB Losses as of such date, which shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the illustrative calculation and principles set forth on Section 1.1(d) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, and the resulting amount of any Retained Claim Recovery payable to Seller Parent in respect of GGB Claim Recoveries in accordance with this Section 2.12 and Section 2.13 (the “GGB Loss Statement” and each such GGB Loss Statement or the Earn-Out Statement, a “Statement”). After receipt of a Statement, Seller shall have forty-five (45) days (in respect of each Statement, a “Review Period”) to review such Statement. Each Statement shall set forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s calculations of the applicable amounts. Until the final determination of the Earn-Out Payment, the aggregate GGB Losses and the aggregate Retained Claim Recovery payable to Seller Parent (or its designated Subsidiaries) hereunder in respect of GGB Claim Recoveries, Seller and its Representatives shall be permitted to access and review the books, records and work papers of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries) for the purpose of enabling Seller and its Representatives to review any Statement (and to prepare any objections to such Statement) and Purchaser’s compliance with its applicable obligations under Section 2.11, this Section 2.12 and Section 2.13, or otherwise in connection with the Earn-Out Payment, the GGB Claims, the GGB Claim Recoveries, Seller Parent’s Applicable GGB Portion or the GGB Losses, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective employees, accountants and other Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with and assist Seller and its Representatives in connection with such review, including by providing access to such books, records and work papers and making available personnel to the extent requested, in each case, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours. In addition, promptly following the reasonable request of Seller Parent (and in no event later than thirty (30) days following any such reasonable request), Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller Parent such information as Seller Parent reasonably requests, including a calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, GGB Losses, Seller Parent’s Applicable Portion of GGB Claim Recoveries, expected GGB Claim Recoveries or any component of the foregoing, in each case as of a date no more than sixty (60) and no later than thirty (30) days prior to such request.

-27-

(b) In the event that Seller disputes the manner in which the Earn-Out Statement or a GGB Loss Statement has been prepared or the calculation of the Adjusted EBITDA of the Business for the Reference Period, the Earn-Out Payment, the GGB Losses, Seller Parent’s Applicable GGB Portion or any Retained Claim Recovery in respect of GGB Claim Recoveries, Seller shall give written notice thereof to Purchaser within the Review Period (the “Deferred Payment Dispute Notice”). During the fifteen (15)-day period following Purchaser’s receipt of the Deferred Payment Dispute Notice, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters identified in the Deferred Payment Dispute Notice. If at the end of such fifteen (15)-day period Seller and Purchaser have been unable to resolve any such differences, Seller and Purchaser shall submit all matters that remain in dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution as though it were a dispute pursuant to Section 2.9, and the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2.9(d) and Section 2.9(e) shall apply mutatis mutandis to such dispute. The Adjusted EBITDA of the Business and resulting Earn-Out Payment or the GGB Losses and the resulting Retained Claim Recovery (i) as set forth in the applicable Statement, if Seller does not deliver to Purchaser a Deferred Payment Dispute Notice with respect thereto during the Review Period, (ii) as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) (absent manifest error) or (iii) as agreed in writing between Seller and Purchaser, as the case may be, shall constitute the final determination of the Adjusted EBITDA of the Business, the Earn-Out Payment, GGB Losses (as of the date of determination), or any Retained Claim Recovery in respect of a GGB Claim Recovery (as of the date of determination) as applicable, and shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and the Earn-Out Payment or such Retained Claim Recovery, if any, as so determined shall be paid to Seller in accordance with Section 2.11 or Section 2.13, as applicable.

Section 2.13 Retained Claim Reimbursement.

(a) Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall from time to time deliver to Seller Parent or its designated Subsidiaries in cash an aggregate amount (each such payment, a “Retained Claim Recovery”) equal to:

(i) With respect to the GDB Project: (A) the Seller Parent’s Applicable GDB Portion multiplied by (B) the amount of any cash, cash equivalents or other assets paid to, received by or otherwise recovered (including, for the avoidance of doubt, from clients, subcontractors, joint venture partners or insurers) by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their successors or assigns, in each case to the extent arising out of, relating to or resulting from, any GDB Claims (“GDB Claim Recoveries”) as and when any such GDB Claim Recoveries are received or recovered at the time set forth in Section 2.13(b) below; provided that, for the purpose of determining any Retained Claim Recovery, the amount of any GDB Claim Recovery shall, without duplication, be reduced (but not below Zero Dollars ($0)) by any Unreimbursed GDB Claim Expenses, in each case that have been incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates but not reimbursed in accordance with Section 2.13(e) as of immediately prior to Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ or any of its or their applicable successor’s or assign’s receipt of such GDB Claim Recovery (it being understood and agreed that any such Unreimbursed GDB Claim Expenses that reduce any payment of Retained Claim Recovery shall not be subsequently applied to reduce any future payment of Retained Claim Recovery). “Seller Parent’s Applicable GDB Portion” means, with respect to any GDB Claim Recovery, eighty percent (80%) until Seller Parent has received Sixty Four Million Dollars ($64,000,000) solely in respect of GDB Claim Recoveries and thereafter fifty percent (50%).

-28-

(ii) With respect to the GGB Project: (A) the Seller Parent’s Applicable GGB Portion multiplied by (B) the amount of any cash, cash equivalents or other assets paid to, received by or otherwise recovered (including, for the avoidance of doubt, from clients, subcontractors, joint venture partners or insurers) by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their successors or assigns, in each case to the extent arising out of, relating to or resulting from, any GGB Claims (“GGB Claim Recoveries” and any GDB Claim Recovery or GGB Claim Recovery, a “Claim Recovery”) as and when any such GGB Claim Recoveries are received or recovered at the time set forth in Section 2.13(b) below; provided that, except as set forth below, for the purpose of determining any Retained Claim Recovery, the amount of any GGB Claim Recovery shall, without duplication be reduced (but not below Zero Dollars ($0)) by any Unreimbursed GGB Claim Expenses, in each case that have been incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates but not reimbursed in accordance with Section 2.13(e) as of immediately prior to Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ or any of its or their applicable successor’s or assign’s receipt of such Claim Recovery (it being understood and agreed that any such Unreimbursed Claim Expenses that reduce any payment of Retained Claim Recovery shall not be subsequently applied to reduce any future payment of Retained Claim Recovery). “Seller Parent’s Applicable GGB Portion” means with respect to any GGB Claim Recovery, Seventy Five Percent (75%) until Seller Parent has received Seventy Million Dollars ($70,000,000) solely in respect of GGB Claim Recoveries; provided that if the amount (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be a negative number) by which GGB Losses exceed Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) is greater than Eighty Percent (80%) of the aggregate GGB Claim Recoveries (gross of GGB Claim Expenses), then to the extent that the payment of all or a portion of Retained Claim Recovery with respect to any such GGB Claim Recovery would cause the aggregate Retained Claim Recovery received by Seller Parent (or its designated Subsidiaries) hereunder solely in respect of GGB Claim Recoveries to exceed Twenty Percent (20%) of the aggregate GGB Claim Recoveries (net of Unreimbursed GGB Claim Expenses) (an “Excess Allotment”), then Purchaser may withhold such portion and only such portion that would cause such Excess Allotment from the payment of Retained Claim Recovery with respect to such GGB Claim Recovery until such time as the payment thereof would not cause an Excess Allotment based on all GGB Claim Recoveries and payments of Retained Claim Recovery in respect of GGB Claim Recoveries as of such time. To the extent that, following the payment of any Retained Claim Recovery in respect of GGB Claim Recoveries, subsequent events would (i) result in a different Seller Parent’s Applicable GGB Portion with respect to GGB Claim Recoveries than that used to calculate such payment of Retained Claim Recovery because of a change in GGB Losses or (ii) make the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence inapplicable to any payment of Retained Claim Recovery (or reduce its impact thereon) if such payment were re-determined as of a subsequent date, the Parties agree that, upon completion of the GGB Project and the final resolution of all GGB Claims, the previous payments of Retained Claim Recovery solely in respect of GGB Claim Recoveries shall be re-determined at such time and the Parties shall make such payments to one another as are necessary to give effect to such re-determination.

-29-

(b) If any Claim Recovery is in the form of cash or cash equivalents, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller Parent or its designated Subsidiaries, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Retained Claim Recovery in respect of such Claim Recovery within three (3) Business Days of Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ or any of its or their applicable successor’s or assign’s receipt of such Claim Recovery. If any Claim Recovery is in a form other than cash or cash equivalents, the Retained Claim Recovery in respect of such Claim Recovery shall be determined based on the fair market value of such Claim Recovery (determined by a mutually agreed independent expert if the Parties cannot otherwise agree on such value) as of the date of Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ or their applicable successor’s or assign’s receipt of such Claim Recovery and be paid as promptly as practicable and in no event more than thirty (30) days following the date on which it would have been paid pursuant the preceding sentence if in the form of cash or cash equivalents.

(c) From and after the Closing and until the final resolution of all GDB Claims and GGB Claims (as applicable), Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) not knowingly take any action or fail to take any action with the purpose of avoiding or reducing any Retained Claim Recovery payable to Seller Parent or its designated Subsidiaries hereunder and (ii) continue to pursue all GDB Claims and GGB Claims in substantially the same manner as Purchaser and its Affiliates would if all of the benefits related to the GDB Claims and GGB Claims (including the full value of any Claim Recoveries) were for the sole benefit of Purchaser and its Affiliates.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to keep Seller Parent informed of developments with respect to Purchaser’s pursuit, prosecution or settlement of, any GDB Claim or GGB Claim; provided, that all decisions which in any way relate to the pursuit or prosecution of any GDB Claim or GGB Claim shall be made by Purchaser; provided that Purchaser shall keep Seller Parent reasonably informed of, and shall provide Seller Parent and its Representatives with reasonable advance notice and opportunity to comment on (and shall consider in good faith any such comments), any of the following items in connection with any GDB Claim or GGB Claim: (i) the engagement or modification or termination of the engagement of, outside counsel or any other third-party advisor; (ii) the making of any filing with or other submission to any Governmental Entity, including in any Proceeding, or the provision of any substantive written correspondence to or engage in any substantive communications with any counterparty to any GDB Claim or GGB Claim (or any Representative of any such counterparty); or (iii) any settlement, resolution, compromise or consent to the entry of any Judgment. In addition, Purchaser shall provide Seller Parent with reasonable advance notice and the opportunity for Seller Parent or its Representatives to attend or participate in any settlement discussions with any Governmental Entity or counterparty to any GDB Claim or GGB Claim (or any Representative of the foregoing), in each case with respect to any GDB Claim or GGB Claim.

-30-

(e) From and after the Closing and until the final resolution of all GDB Claims and GGB Claims, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with one another and their Affiliates (including the Purchased Companies) and Representatives in connection with the pursuit, prosecution or settlement of any GDB Claim or GGB Claim.

COVENANTS

Section 5.1 Efforts.

(a) From and after the date hereof, Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under any applicable Law to consummate and make effective as promptly as reasonably practicable the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations, Filings and notices required to be filed to satisfy the conditions precedent to this Agreement (including those set forth in Section 8.1) and to consummate the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable and (ii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, take all actions necessary to obtain (and shall cooperate with each other in obtaining) any Regulatory Approvals (which actions shall include furnishing all information required in connection with such Regulatory Approvals) required to be obtained or made by Purchaser, Seller, the other Seller Entities or the Purchased Entities (or Subsidiaries thereof) or any of their Affiliates in connection with the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Additionally, Purchaser and Seller shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, take any action after the date of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to impair or materially delay the obtaining of, or result in not obtaining, any Regulatory Approval necessary to be obtained prior to the Closing.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall each keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required Regulatory Approvals. In that regard, prior to the Closing, subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 5.3, each Party shall promptly consult with the other Party to provide any necessary information with respect to (and, in the case of correspondence, provide the other Party (or its counsel) copies of) all Filings made by such Party or any of its Affiliates with any Governmental Entity or any other information supplied by such Party or any of its Affiliates to, or correspondence with, a Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 5.3, each Party shall promptly inform the other Party, and if in writing, furnish the other Party with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the other Party orally of) any communication received by such Party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives from any Governmental Entity regarding the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and permit the other Party to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other Party in connection with, any proposed communication with any such Governmental Entity. If either Party or any Affiliate or Representative of such Party receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such Party will make, or cause to be made, promptly and after consultation with the other Party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. None of Purchaser, its Affiliates or its Representatives shall participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or make oral submissions at meetings or in telephone or other conversations) unless it consults with Seller in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives Seller the opportunity to attend and participate thereat. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 5.3, each Party shall furnish the other Party with copies of all correspondence and Filings (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and furnish the other Party with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of Filings to any such Governmental Entity. Purchaser and Seller may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Agreement as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be) or its legal counsel; provided, however, that materials provided pursuant to this Agreement may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of or future plans for the Business or the Sale Process, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual obligations or applicable Law and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns.

-55-

(c) Xxxxxxxxx agrees to provide such security and assurances as to financial capability, resources and creditworthiness as may be reasonably requested by any Governmental Entity or other third party whose Approval is sought in connection with the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of Seller, the other Seller Entities or any of their respective Affiliates shall under any circumstance be required to pay or commit to pay any amount or incur any obligation in favor of or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise, regardless of any provision to the contrary in the underlying Contract, including any requirements for the securing or posting of any bonds, letters of credit or similar instruments, or the furnishing of any guarantees) to any Person to obtain any Approval. None of Seller, the other Seller Entities or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any Liability whatsoever to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any Approvals that may be required in connection with the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the termination of any Contract or any default under, or acceleration or termination of or loss of any benefit under, any Contract or other Purchased Asset as a result thereof. Purchaser acknowledges that no representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition to Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than as a result of the failure to satisfy a condition expressly set forth in Section 8.1(a)) shall be deemed not satisfied, as a result of (i) the failure to obtain any Approval, (ii) any such termination, default, acceleration or loss of benefit, or (iii) any Proceeding commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such Approval or any of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s and its Affiliates’ obligations under this Section 5.1 shall be subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of Section 2.10.

Prior to the termination of this Agreement, without Purchaser’s prior written consent, Seller shall not release any third party from, or waive, amend or modify any provision of, any Sale Process NDA.

In addition, the foregoing shall not prohibit Seller, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives (A) from using Confidential Business Information for the purpose of complying with the terms of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or any Contract that has not been assigned or transferred pursuant to Section 2.10, or (B) from disclosing Confidential Business Information that Seller, any of its Affiliates or its or their Representatives are required by Law (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) or requested by any Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over such Person to disclose (provided that Seller will, to the extent not legally prohibited, provide Purchaser with prompt written notice of such request so that Purchaser may seek, at its sole expense, an appropriate protective order and/or waive compliance with this Section 5.3(b)). Furthermore, the provisions of this Section 5.3(b) will not prohibit any retention of copies of records or any disclosure in connection with the preparation and filing of financial statements or Tax Returns of Seller or its Affiliates or any disclosure made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (x) Seller, the Seller Entities and their respective Affiliates currently, and following the Closing may continue to, maintain and expand business and commercial relationships (whether as a customer, supplier or otherwise) with the same Persons and engage in commercial relationships with such Persons and with Purchaser, and may employ, or continue to employ, individuals who previously worked in or with the Business and possess knowledge and Know-How used in, relating to, or arising from the Business and (y) nothing in this Section 5.3(b) shall prohibit or restrict the maintenance or expansion of any such relationships or employment of any such individuals; provided that Confidential Business Information is not disclosed in violation hereof.

Section 5.4 Access to Information.

(a) Seller shall afford to Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, consistent with applicable Law and in accordance with the procedures established by Seller, during the period prior to the Closing, and solely for purposes of integration planning and in furtherance of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to the properties, books, Contracts, assets, officers, agents, records and personnel of Seller and its Subsidiaries related to the Business and the Purchased Entities (and Subsidiaries thereof) that constitute Purchased Assets; provided, however, that (i) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to violate any obligation of confidentiality to which it or any of its Affiliates may be subject in discharging their obligations pursuant to this Section 5.4; (ii) Seller shall make available, or cause its Subsidiaries to make available, Business Employee personnel files only after the Closing Date and, with respect to any Business Employees, if and when Purchaser provides Seller with notice that the applicable Business Employees have provided Purchaser with a release permitting transfer of those files (provided that Seller shall not make, or cause to be made, available medical records, workers compensation records or the results of any drug testing; and that Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates (including the other Seller Entities) harmless from any Liabilities arising out of or relating to the access to and/or transfer of such personnel files); and (iii) prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not conduct any Phase II Environmental Site Assessment or conduct any invasive testing or any sampling of soil, sediment, surface water, ground water or building material at, on, under or within any facility on the Owned Real Property or the Leased Real Property, or any other property of Seller, the other Seller Entities, the Purchased Entities or any of their respective Affiliates.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide access to or disclose information (i) where, based on the advice of counsel, such access or disclosure would jeopardize attorney-client or other applicable privilege or protection, or contravene any Laws or contractual obligations (it being agreed that, in the event that the restrictions of this sentence apply, Seller shall inform Purchaser as to the general nature of what is being withheld and shall cooperate in good faith to attempt to design and implement alternative disclosure arrangements to enable Purchaser to evaluate any such information without violating an obligation of confidentiality to any third party, jeopardizing the attorney-client or other applicable privilege or protection or contravening any Laws or contractual obligations), or (ii) if such information concerns the Sale Process.

Without limiting the foregoing, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall extend or renew any Contract containing or underlying a Guarantee unless, prior to or concurrently with such extension or renewal, Purchaser or its Affiliates are substituted in all respects for Seller and its Affiliates, and Seller and its Affiliates are fully released, in respect of all Liabilities under such Guarantees.

As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Purchaser shall cause each of the Purchased Companies (and Subsidiaries thereof) having a name, Mark or logo that includes the AECOM Name and AECOM Marks to change its name to a name that does not include the AECOM Name and AECOM Marks, including making any Filings necessary to effect such change within sixty (60) days following the Closing, and shall complete the removal of the AECOM Name and AECOM Marks (i) within sixty (60) days following the Closing from all websites, social and mobile media or other digital content in their possession or control and (ii) within six (6) months following the Closing from all products, signage, vehicles, properties, technical information, stationery and promotional or other marketing materials and other assets.

Purchaser agrees that any use of the AECOM Name and AECOM Marks by any of the Purchased Companies or their Subsidiaries pursuant to such license will be in a manner consistent with past practice and transitional “phase out” use and that the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries will maintain quality standards at least as high as those in effect as of the Closing Date with respect to any goods or services provided or delivered using the AECOM Name and AECOM Marks and shall cease to hold themselves out as having any affiliation with Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries from and after the Closing.

(b) Seller Parent and its applicable Subsidiaries hereby grant to Purchaser and the Purchased Entities (and their Subsidiaries), effective as of the Closing, a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, limited, personal license to use the Intellectual Property (excluding the AECOM Name and AECOM Marks and any other Marks and excluding any Business Intellectual Property) used or held for use in the Retained Businesses and that Purchaser can demonstrate was used by Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries) in operating the Business during the twelve (12)-month period prior to the Closing (the “Seller Licensed Intellectual Property”) solely to the extent and in the manner as such Seller Licensed Intellectual Property was used in the operation of the Business during such twelve (12)-month period. The Seller Licensed Intellectual Property shall be licensed on an “as-is, where-is” basis without any representation or warranty whatsoever, and all implied warranties are hereby disclaimed by Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, and following the Closing, the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries, acknowledges that except as may be expressly provided in the Transition Services Agreement, Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries are not obligated to furnish or make available to Purchaser or the Purchased Companies or their Subsidiaries any updates to the Seller Licensed Intellectual Property or any technical information or support of any kind. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Section 5.8(b) shall constitute a transfer of ownership of any Intellectual Property from Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries).

-65-

(c) Purchaser hereby grants, and as of the Closing will cause the applicable Purchased Entities (and their Subsidiaries) to grant, effective as of the Closing, a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, limited, personal license to use the Business Intellectual Property that Seller Parent can demonstrate was used by Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries in operating the Retained Businesses during the twelve (12)-month period prior to the Closing (the “Purchaser Licensed Intellectual Property”) solely to the extent and in the manner as such Purchaser Licensed Intellectual Property was used in the operation of the Retained Businesses during such twelve (12)-month period. The Purchaser Licensed Intellectual Property shall be licensed on an “as-is, where-is” basis without any representation or warranty whatsoever, and all implied warranties are hereby disclaimed by Purchaser. Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries acknowledge that except as may be expressly provided in the Transition Services Agreement, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries) are not obligated to furnish or make available to Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries any updates to the Purchaser Licensed Intellectual Property or any technical information or support of any kind. Seller Parent acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Section 5.8(c) shall constitute a transfer of ownership of any Business Intellectual Property from Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries) to Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.9 Insurance. From and after the Closing, the Business, the Purchased Companies, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, and the operations and assets and Liabilities in respect thereof, shall cease to be insured by Seller’s or its Affiliates’ insurance policies or by any of their self-insured programs (other than the Business Insurance Policies), and neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates (including the Business and the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries) shall have any access, right, title or interest to or in any such insurance policies (including to all claims and rights to make claims and all rights to proceeds) to cover the Business, the Purchased Companies, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, or the operations or assets or Liabilities in respect thereof (other than the Business Insurance Policies). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Closing, with respect to events or circumstances to the extent relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities that occurred or existed prior to the Closing that are covered by third-party occurrence-based insurance policies of Seller or its Affiliates (the “Seller Insurance Policies”), Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to submit any claims under the Seller Insurance Policies solely to the extent such coverage is available under the Seller Insurance Policies and Purchaser elects to submit such claims. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall be entitled to any proceeds arising out of any such claim, and Seller and its Affiliates shall cause any such proceeds to be paid or remitted to Purchaser or its designee, whether by delivering notices or other instruments to the applicable insurers that Purchaser or its designee is the payee with respect to the applicable claim, remitting such proceeds directly to Purchaser or its designee upon receipt by Seller or its applicable Affiliate, entering into escrow, trust or security arrangements with respect to such proceeds (or anticipated proceeds), or otherwise. Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Seller or its applicable Affiliates for any deductibles, self-insured retention, fees, indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees, allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees and other costs or expenses (including any increased costs or premiums incurred by Seller or any of its Affiliates) as a result of any such claims or Purchaser’s access to such Seller Insurance Policies following the Closing. Seller or its Affiliates may amend any insurance policies in the manner that Seller or its Affiliates deem appropriate to give effect to this Section 5.9. Except as expressly provided in this Section 5.9, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for securing all insurance it considers appropriate for the Business, the Purchased Companies, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, and the operations and assets and Liabilities in respect thereof, including maintenance of project-specific insurance policies. Except as expressly provided in this Section 5.9, Purchaser further covenants and agrees not to seek to assert or to exercise any rights or claims of, or in respect of, the Business, the Purchased Companies, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, and the operations and assets and Liabilities in respect thereof, under or in respect of any past or current insurance policy under which any of the foregoing is a named insured (other than the Business Insurance Policies).

Seller and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for any severance or termination payments or benefits payable to Business Employees (prior to the Closing Date) or Former Business Employees with respect to terminations of employment occurring prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to a Seller Benefit Plan, except to the extent such Liability is reflected in Closing Working Capital.

(c) Service Credit. For purposes of vesting and eligibility to participate under the employee benefit plans of Purchaser and its Affiliates providing benefits to any Continuing Employees after the Closing (the “New Plans”), each Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with Seller and its Affiliates and their respective predecessors prior to the Closing, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, prior to the Closing, to credit for such service under any similar Seller Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing; provided that the foregoing shall not apply for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical plan (except as otherwise required by applicable Law) or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is comparable to a Seller Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Closing (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”).

(d) Welfare Plans. For purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable Seller Benefit Plans in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing, and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plans ending on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

To the extent requested by Seller, Purchaser shall facilitate through Purchaser’s payroll system the payment of any amounts payable to Continuing Employees under the Seller Deferred Compensation Plans, with the amount of any such payment (and the related employer portion of the applicable Taxes) to be prefunded by Seller to Purchaser. “Seller Deferred Compensation Plans” means the nonqualified deferred compensation plans maintained by Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries) immediately prior to the Closing.

Section 7.2 Tax Returns.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) any (i) Combined Tax Return, (ii) Tax Return of Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Purchased Companies or any Subsidiary thereof) (the “Seller Returns”) and (iii) Tax Returns (other than any Combined Tax Return or Seller Return) that are required to be filed by or with respect to any of the Purchased Entities (or any Subsidiaries thereof) after the Closing (taking into account valid extensions) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return”). Seller shall provide Purchaser with a copy of any completed Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date on which such Tax Return is due (taking validly obtained extensions into account) (or if such Tax Return is due within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, then as soon as reasonably practicable taking into account the Tax period and the nature of the relevant Tax Return or other relevant circumstances), Purchaser shall have the right to review, comment on and propose changes to such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return and shall provide comments, if any, to Seller on any such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return within ten (10) days after receipt of such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return (or such shorter period as is reasonable taking into account the Tax period and the nature of the relevant Tax Return or other relevant circumstances) and Seller shall consider any such comments in good faith. In the event Seller disagrees with any comments received from Purchaser, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such disagreement prior to the due date for such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return (taking into account extensions). Seller shall revise such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns to reflect any reasonable comments received from Purchaser with which Seller agrees and shall deliver, if applicable, a revised Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return to Purchaser at least ten (10) days before the due date therefor (taking validly obtained extensions into account) (or such shorter period as is reasonable taking into account the Tax period and the nature of the relevant Tax Return or other relevant circumstances), and Purchaser shall timely file or cause to be timely filed such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns as prepared by Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to file any Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return that includes a position for which Purchaser determines, in its reasonable discretion, that there is not at least “substantial authority” within the meaning of Section 6662(d)(2)(b)(i) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law). Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Law), Purchaser shall not amend or revoke any Combined Tax Return, Seller Return or any Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return (or any notification or election relating thereto) without the prior written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). At Seller’s reasonable request, Purchaser shall file, or cause to be filed, amended Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the same rights to review and comment on such amended Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns as described in this Section 7.2(a) for the original Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns. Purchaser shall promptly provide (or cause to be provided) to Seller any information reasonably requested by Seller to facilitate the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns described in this Section 7.2(a), and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare (or cause to be prepared) such information in a manner and on a timeline requested by Seller.

-76-

(b) Except for any Tax Return required to be prepared by Seller pursuant to Section 7.2(a), Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely file, or cause to be timely filed, (taking into account any valid extensions) all Tax Returns of or with respect to the Purchased Entities (and any Subsidiaries thereof). In the case of any such Tax Return for a Straddle Period (each a “Purchaser-Filed Tax Return”), Purchaser shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) such Purchaser-Filed Tax Return in a manner consistent with the past practice of or with respect to the applicable Purchased Entity (or Subsidiary thereof). Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of such completed Purchaser-Filed Tax Return not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date on which such Tax Return is due (taking validly obtained extensions into account) (or if such Tax Return is due within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, then as soon as reasonably practicable taking into account the Tax period and the nature of the relevant Tax Return or other relevant circumstances). Seller shall have the right to review, comment on and propose changes to such Purchaser-Filed Tax Return, and Purchaser shall consider any such comments in good faith. Purchaser shall revise such Purchaser-Filed Tax Return to reflect any comments received from Seller with which Purchaser agrees and, in the event Purchaser disagrees with any comments received from Seller, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of such disagreement prior to the due date for such Purchaser-Filed Tax Return (taking into account extensions), and Seller and Purchaser shall work together in good faith to resolve any such disagreements. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to reach resolution, they shall promptly cause the jointly retained Independent Accounting Firm (who shall be promptly engaged if not previously engaged in accordance with Section 2.9) to resolve any remaining disputes within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such return. Purchaser shall revise such Purchaser-Filed Tax Return to reflect such resolution and shall deliver, if applicable, a revised Purchaser-Filed Tax Return to Seller at least ten (10) days before the due date therefor (taking validly obtained extensions into account) (or such shorter period as is reasonable taking into account the Tax period and the nature of the relevant Tax Return or other relevant circumstances), and Purchaser shall timely file or cause to be timely filed such Tax Return. Any determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the parties without further adjustment. The costs, fees and expenses of such Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or non-U.S. law), Purchaser shall not amend or revoke any Purchaser-Filed Tax Return (or any notification or election relating thereto). At Seller’s reasonable request, Purchaser shall file, or cause to be filed, amended Purchaser-Filed Tax Returns; provided, however, that any such amended Purchaser-Filed Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with this Section 7.2(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Purchaser-Filed Tax Return is due (taking into account applicable extensions) before all items with respect to such Purchaser-Filed Tax Return have been resolved, Purchaser shall timely file (or cause to be filed) such return as prepared by Purchaser and as revised to reflect any comments received from Seller with which Xxxxxxxxx agrees and any agreement reached between Seller and Purchaser. After resolution of all disputed items with respect to any Purchaser-Filed Tax Return filed prior to such resolution, Purchaser shall file an amended return reflecting the resolution of such disputed items, if necessary.

Section 7.3 Tax Benefits and Tax Refunds. If Purchaser or any of its Affiliates actually realizes any Tax benefit as a result of any payment of compensation or benefits by Seller or any of its Affiliates to any Business Employee or Former Business Employee, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller Parent the amount of such Tax benefit no later than fifteen (15) days after such Tax benefit is actually realized. Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller Parent any refund (or credit obtained in lieu thereof) of Taxes for which Seller Parent is liable under Article X (including any interest paid thereon) received by Purchaser, any Affiliate of Purchaser or the Purchased Entities or any Subsidiary thereof, except to the extent any such refund (or credit) is attributable to a carry back of a Tax attribute from a Post-Closing Tax Period, no later than ten (10) days following receipt of such refund (or, in the case of a credit obtained in lieu of such refund, no later than ten (10) days following the filing of the income Tax Return on which such credit is used to offset tax otherwise payable), net of any out-of-pocket costs incurred in obtaining such refund or credit (including any income Taxes imposed thereon). Any refunds or credits of the Purchased Entities (or their Subsidiaries) for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between Seller Parent and Purchaser in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 7.10. Each Party shall pay, or cause its Affiliates to pay, to the Party entitled to a refund or credit of Taxes under this Section 7.3, the amount of such refund or credit (including any interest paid thereon and net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes)) to the Party receiving such refund or credit in respect of the receipt or accrual of such refund or credit in readily available funds within fifteen (15) days of the actual receipt of the refund or credit or the application for such refund or credit against amounts otherwise payable.

Section 7.4 Tax Contests. If any Taxing Authority asserts a claim with respect to Taxes that, if pursued successfully, would reasonably be expected to serve as the basis for a claim for indemnification under Article X (a “Tax Claim”), then the Party first receiving notice of such Tax Claim promptly shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Claim and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Taxing Authority.

(a) In the case of a Tax Proceeding of or with respect to any of the Purchased Entities or their respective Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (other than a Tax Proceeding described in Section 7.4(c)), Seller shall have the exclusive right to control such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that Seller shall not settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), if such settlement or compromise could have a material adverse impact on Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for any Post-Closing Tax Period.

-78-

(b) In the case of a Tax Proceeding of or with respect to any of the Purchased Entities or their respective Subsidiaries for any Straddle Period (other than a Tax Proceeding described in Section 7.4(c)), the Controlling Party shall have the right and obligation to conduct, at its own expense, such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that (i) the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Proceeding, (ii) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling Party before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (iii) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling Party and offer the Non-Controlling Party an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (iv) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith as if it were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (v) the Non-Controlling Party shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceeding and attend any meetings or conferences with the relevant Taxing Authority and (vi) the Controlling Party shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Controlling Party shall not have any obligations (and the Non-Controlling Party shall not have any rights) under clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) above with respect to any portion of such Tax Proceeding (and any actions, written materials, meetings or conferences relating exclusively thereto) that could not reasonably be expected to affect the liability of, or otherwise have an adverse effect on, the Non-Controlling Party or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, “Controlling Party” shall mean Seller if Seller and its Affiliates are reasonably expected to bear the greater Tax liability in connection with such Tax Proceeding, or Purchaser if Purchaser and its Affiliates are reasonably expected to bear the greater Tax liability in connection with such Tax Proceeding; and “Non-Controlling Party” means whichever of Seller or Purchaser is not the Controlling Party with respect to such Tax Proceeding.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller Parent shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any Tax Proceeding with respect to (i) any Tax Return of Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) any Tax Return of a consolidated, combined or unitary group that includes Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including any Combined Tax Return).

To the extent relating to the Purchased Entities or their Subsidiaries, Seller Parent shall terminate or cause to be terminated, on or before the Closing Date, the rights and obligations of the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries pursuant to all Tax sharing agreements or arrangements (other than this Agreement), if any, to which any of the Purchased Entities or their Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries), on the other hand, are parties, and neither Seller Parent nor any of its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries), on the one hand, nor any of the Purchased Entities or their respective Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall have any rights or obligations to each other after the Closing in respect of such agreements or arrangements.

Section 7.6 Tax Treatment of Payments.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law or pursuant to a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), Seller Parent, Purchaser, the Purchased Entities and their respective Affiliates shall (i) (A) treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a contingent payment sale with a stated maximum selling price as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 15A.453-1(c)(1) and (2) and (B) treat any and all payments under Section 2.9, Section 2.11, Section 2.12, Section 5.16 and Article X as an adjustment to the purchase price for Tax purposes (except to the extent of any amounts in respect of imputed interest) and (ii) not take any position inconsistent with clause (i) on any Tax Return or in any Tax Proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates from making an election pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 15A.453-1(d)(3) to not report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the installment method.

(b) Seller Parent and Purchaser acknowledge that, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, prior to the Closing, Seller Parent will transfer or cause to be transferred to Seller Parent or one or more of its Subsidiaries (other than the Purchased Companies and their respective Subsidiaries) all economic rights to, interest in, and benefits of the Retained Claim Recovery, Seller Parent’s Applicable GDB Portion of any GDB Claim Recoveries and Seller Parent’s Applicable GGB Portion of any GGB Claim Recoveries (the “Transferred Excluded Assets” and any such transfer, an “Excluded Assets Transfer”). No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing, Seller Parent shall deliver to Purchaser written notice of the fair market value of such Transferred Excluded Assets as of the date of any relevant Excluded Assets Transfer, determined in a manner consistent with applicable Tax Law (the “Transferred Excluded Assets Value”). Neither Seller Parent or Purchaser shall (and each of Seller Parent and Purchaser shall cause their respective Affiliates not to) take any position inconsistent with the Excluded Assets Transfer or the Transferred Excluded Assets Value on any Tax Return or in any Tax Proceeding, in each case, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law).

Section 7.7 Elections.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, after the Closing Date, the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries) shall (i) make or cause to be made any election with respect to any Purchased Company or any Subsidiary thereof (including any entity classification election pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3) effective on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) change or cause to be changed any method of Tax accounting or any Tax accounting period of any Purchased Company or any Subsidiary thereof, which election or change would be effective on or prior to the Closing Date or (iii) take any action or engage in any transaction that would reasonably be expected to increase any Tax liability required to be reflected as a reserve or Liability in Closing Working Capital or Closing Funded Debt (or otherwise require any Tax liability to be reflected as a reserve or Liability in Closing Working Capital or Closing Funded Debt that would not otherwise be required to be so reflected) for purposes of calculating the Final Purchase Price.

-80-

(b) Seller Parent and Purchaser agree to the matters set forth in Section 7.7(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules.

(c) To the extent Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries) actually realize any Tax benefit (that is, in cash or an actual reduction in liability for Tax) as a result of, arising from or attributable to the -36(d)(6) Election (within the meaning of Section 7.7(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules), calculated on a “with and without” basis (such Tax benefit, the “Shared Tax Benefit”), then Purchaser shall pay to Seller Parent an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) fifty-five percent (55%) and (ii) the Shared Tax Benefit, which payment shall be made no later than fifteen (15) days after such Shared Tax Benefit is actually realized. For each taxable period ending after the Closing Date during which any Tax deduction results or arises from, or is attributable to, the -36(d)(6) Election, which Tax deduction is or would be reflected on a Tax Return of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries), regardless of whether Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (or any of the Purchased Companies or their Subsidiaries) actually realize any associated Tax benefit, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller Parent a calculation, together with reasonable supporting documentation and work papers, (A) of any Shared Tax Benefit for such taxable period or (B) supporting any determination that there is no such Shared Tax Benefit for such taxable period (a “Shared Tax Benefit Calculation”). Any Shared Tax Benefit Calculation shall be delivered no later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date (taking validly obtained extensions into account) for the Tax Return on which the relevant Tax deduction is or would be reflected. Seller Parent and its representatives shall have the right to review any Shared Tax Benefit Calculation and the relevant books and records of the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries, and Purchaser shall (and shall cause its representatives to) assist Seller Parent and its representatives in their review of such Shared Tax Benefit Calculation and reasonably cooperate with respect thereto. Seller Parent shall notify Purchaser if Seller Parent disagrees with any portion of any Shared Tax Benefit Calculation, and such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement and Seller Parent’s proposed adjustments to such Shared Tax Benefit Calculation. Following the delivery of any such notice of disagreement, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such disagreement. If Seller Parent and Purchaser are unable to reach resolution, they shall promptly cause the jointly retained Independent Accounting Firm (who shall be promptly engaged if not previously engaged in accordance with this Agreement) to resolve any remaining disputes within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing the relevant Tax Return. Any determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Parties without further adjustment. The costs, fees and expenses of such Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne in proportion to how Seller Parent and Purchaser share the Shared Tax Benefit under this Section 7.7(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the relevant Tax Return is due (taking into account applicable extensions) before all disputes with respect to the relevant Shared Tax Benefit Calculation have been resolved, nothing in this Section 7.7(c) shall prevent Purchaser from timely filing (or causing to be timely filed) such Tax Return; provided that any positions reflected on such Tax Return shall not be prejudicial to, nor shall they influence the resolution of, any outstanding disputes with respect to any Shared Tax Benefit Calculation.

-81-

Section 7.8 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any sales, use, transfer (including real estate transfer), registration, documentary, conveyancing, stamp, value added, goods and services or similar Taxes and related fees and costs imposed on or payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) will be borne 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Seller, and will be paid to the appropriate Taxing Authority promptly when due by the Party having the obligation to pay such Transfer Taxes under applicable Law. The Party responsible under applicable Law for filing the Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns and promptly provide a copy of such Tax Return to the other Party. Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate to timely prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes; provided that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to file any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes, or any claim for any reduction thereof, if Seller determines in its sole discretion that the filing of such claim or any related action would have an adverse effect on Seller or any of its Affiliates.

Section 7.9 Additional Post-Closing Tax Covenant. With respect to any of the Purchased Companies or any Subsidiary thereof that is characterized as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, from the Closing Date through the end of the taxable period of such entity that includes the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries) not to (a) take any action outside the ordinary course of business that could reasonably be expected to increase Seller Parent’s (or any Affiliate of Seller Parent’s) pro rata share of amounts determined under Section 951(a)(1) or 951A(a) of the Code or (b) enter into any extraordinary transaction with respect to such entity or otherwise take any action or enter into any transaction that would be considered under the Code to constitute the payment of an actual or deemed dividend by such entity, including pursuant to Section 304 of the Code, or that would otherwise result in a diminution of foreign tax credits that, absent such transaction, may be claimed by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates or a change in the application of Section 245A of the Code to Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates as compared with such application absent such action or transaction.

Section 7.10 Proration of Straddle Period Taxes. In the case of Taxes relating to the Purchased Entities (or Subsidiaries thereof) that are payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that is attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be (i) in the case of Taxes not described in clause (ii) (including Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts), deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Straddle Period of the Purchased Companies ended with (and included) the Closing Date; provided that exemptions, allowances, or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such portion; and (ii) in the case of Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets or capital of the Purchased Entities, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. With respect to any Purchased Company or Subsidiary thereof that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Parties agree to allocate, pursuant to Section 706 of the Code, between Purchaser and Seller based on a closing of the books as of the Closing Date, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to such Purchased Company or Subsidiary for the applicable taxable period in which the Closing Date occurs. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall use the interim closing of the books method at the end of the Closing Date for purposes of determining allocations that must be made to the Purchased Entities and their respective Subsidiaries for U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income Tax purposes (including pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A)(1) (and not pursuant to the “next day” rule under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B)), and neither Seller Parent nor Purchaser shall elect to use the ratable allocation method pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)) with respect to the Purchased Entities or their respective Subsidiaries for U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income tax purposes. In accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76 and any analogous provision of state, local, or foreign Law, any Tax related to any extraordinary transactions (not contemplated by this Agreement to occur on the Closing Date) that occurs on the Closing Date, but after the Closing, shall be allocated to the Post-Closing Tax Period.

The representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Article IV (other than as set forth in the following sentence) shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date, as of such date), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct (without giving effect to any materiality or “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect” qualification set forth therein) would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. The representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Section 4.2 shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date, as of such date).

(b) Performance of Obligations of Purchaser. The covenants and agreements of Purchaser to be performed on or before the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement shall have been performed in all material respects.

(c) Officer’s Certificate. Seller shall have received a certificate, dated as of the Closing Date and signed on behalf of Purchaser by an executive officer of Purchaser, stating that the conditions specified in Section 8.3(a) and Section 8.3(b) have been satisfied.

Section 8.4 Frustration of Closing Conditions. Neither Purchaser nor Seller may rely as a basis for terminating this Agreement on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article VIII to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such Party’s failure to act in good faith or to use the efforts to cause the Closing to occur as required by this Agreement, including Section 5.1.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION; EFFECT OF TERMINATION

Section 9.1 Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated and the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of Seller and Xxxxxxxxx;

-84-

(b) by Seller, if Purchaser shall have materially breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, and such breach would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) and has not been cured by the earlier of (i) the date that is thirty (30) days after the date that Seller has notified Purchaser of such breach stating Seller’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) and the basis for such termination and (ii) the Outside Date; provided that Seller shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) if Seller has materially breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

(c) by Purchaser, if Seller shall have materially breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, and such breach would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) and has not been cured by the earlier of (i) the date that is thirty (30) days after the date that Purchaser has notified Seller of such breach stating Purchaser’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) and the basis for such termination and (ii) the Outside Date; provided that Purchaser shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) if Purchaser has materially breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

(d) by Seller or by Purchaser, subject to Section 11.7, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the date that is the four (4) month anniversary of the date hereof (the “Outside Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) shall not be available to (i) any Party whose failure to perform any covenant or agreement under this Agreement or whose breach of any representation or warranty has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date or (ii) any Party during the pendency of any Proceeding brought by the other Party for specific performance of this Agreement; or

(e) by Seller or by Purchaser, if a permanent Judgment issued by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have become final and nonappealable, preventing the consummation of the Transaction; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to perform any covenant or agreement under this Agreement or whose breach of any representation or warranty has been the cause of, or resulted in, the issuance of such Judgment.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated and the Transaction is abandoned as described in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, without any Liability or obligation on the part of any Party or its Affiliates, directors, officers or employees; provided that the provisions of Section 5.3, Section 9.1, this Section 9.2, Section 9.3 and Article XI shall remain in full force and effect; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 9.2 shall release or relieve any Party from any Liability for any fraud or willful and material breach by such Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.2 shall release or relieve Purchaser from any Liability in respect of reimbursement or similar obligations with respect to Seller or its Affiliates expressly set forth in this Agreement.

-85-

Section 9.3 Notice of Termination. In the event of termination by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.1, written notice of such termination shall be given by the terminating Party to the other Party.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of Seller and Seller Parent contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing.

(b) The representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing.

(c) The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that require performance in full prior to the Closing (and any rights arising out of any breach of such covenants and agreements), in each case, shall not survive the Closing, and the covenants and agreements in this Agreement that by their terms apply or are to be performed, in whole or in part, after the Closing (and any rights arising out of any breach of such covenants and agreements), in each case, shall survive the Closing for the period provided in such covenants and agreements, if any, or until fully performed. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the obligation of Seller Parent to retain, and indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for, any Retained Liabilities, and the obligation of Purchaser to assume, and indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties for, any Assumed Liabilities, as well as any covenants and agreements of the Parties that by their terms provide for indemnification or reimbursement or allocate fees, payments, costs or expenses as between the Parties, shall survive the Closing indefinitely and (ii) the obligation of Seller Parent under Section 10.2(a)(iii) and the obligation of Purchaser under Section 7.7(c) shall survive the Closing Date with respect to any Tax (or Tax benefit) until sixty days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such Tax (or Tax benefit). No Person shall be entitled to indemnification, and no Proceeding seeking to recover Covered Losses or other relief shall be commenced or maintained, after the end of the relevant survival period set forth herein, unless a claim for indemnification with respect thereto has previously been made in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 10.2 Indemnification by Seller Parent.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article X, effective as of and after the Closing, Seller Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries) and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, representatives and successors (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Covered Losses incurred or suffered by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to the extent resulting directly or indirectly from or arising out of (i) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement that survives the Closing, for the period it survives, (ii) any Retained Liabilities or (iii) any Covered Taxes.

-86-

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller Parent shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Purchaser Indemnified Party for, any Covered Losses to the extent that such Covered Losses or the related Liabilities are reflected, reserved, accrued, recorded or included in the Closing Working Capital, the Adjustment Amount or the Closing Funded Debt as finally determined pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 10.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Article X, effective as of and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller Parent and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, representatives and successors (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Covered Losses incurred or suffered by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties to the extent resulting directly or indirectly from or arising out of (a) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement that survives the Closing, for the period it survives or (b) any Assumed Liability.

Section 10.4 Procedures.

(a) Any Person entitled to be indemnified under this Article X (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give written notice to the Party from whom indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any pending or threatened Proceeding against the Indemnified Party that has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to such right of indemnification with respect to such Proceeding (a “Third Party Claim”), indicating, with reasonable specificity, the nature of such Third Party Claim, the basis therefor, a copy of any documentation received from the third party, the amount and calculation of the Covered Losses (if then known) for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article X (and a good faith estimate of any such future Covered Losses relating thereto), and the provision(s) of this Agreement in respect of which such Covered Losses shall have occurred, and the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party any information or documentation related to the foregoing reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice and to tender the defense of the Proceeding in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 10.4(a) shall not limit the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Article X, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

-87-

(b) With respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party under this Article X shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the control and defense, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choosing, of such Third Party Claim and any Third Party Claims related to the same or a substantially similar set of facts; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the control and defense of such Third Party Claim, and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if such Third Party Claim is a criminal Proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party so undertakes to control and defend any such Third Party Claim, it shall notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense against, and settlement of, any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement does not involve any injunctive relief against or any finding or admission of any violation of Law or wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, and any money damages are borne solely by the Indemnifying Party. Subject to the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in but not control the defense of such Proceeding at its own cost and expense; provided that, subject to the provisions of this Article X, the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees of one firm of legal counsel (and one additional firm of legal counsel in each jurisdiction implicated in such Proceeding) representing all Indemnified Parties in such Proceeding and all related Proceedings, if, but only if, the defendants in such Proceeding include both an Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of legal counsel, that there is a material conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to such Proceeding. In any event, the Indemnified Party shall cause its legal counsel to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its legal counsel and shall not assert any position in any Proceeding inconsistent with that asserted by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnified Party may settle any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the control and defense of a Third Party Claim, it shall nevertheless be entitled to participate in the defense of such Proceeding at its own cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense against, and settlement of, any such Third Party Claim.

(c) In the event that any Indemnified Party has or may have an indemnification claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Article X that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party indicating, with reasonable specificity, the nature of such claim, the basis therefor, the amount and calculation of the Covered Losses (if then known) for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article X (and a good-faith estimate of any such future Covered Losses relating thereto), and the provision(s) of this Agreement in respect of which such Covered Losses shall have occurred, and the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party any information or documentation related to the foregoing reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 10.4(c) shall not limit the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Article X, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction set forth in Section 11.8.

(d) Any indemnification of an Indemnified Party for Covered Losses pursuant to this Article X shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Indemnified Party from or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party within five (5) Business Days of the earlier to occur of a written agreement by Purchaser and Seller or a final judgment by the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction set forth in Section 11.8, in either case determining the amount of such Covered Losses required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party in respect of an indemnification claim hereunder.

-88-

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 10.4 shall not apply with respect to indemnification and other payments in respect of Taxes, which shall be governed by Article VII.

Section 10.5 Exclusive Remedy and Release. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that, except with respect to claims under the Transition Services Agreement (which shall be governed exclusively by the Transition Services Agreement) and the Seller Parent Conditional Guaranty (which shall be governed exclusively by the Seller Parent Conditional Guaranty), claims seeking specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to covenants or agreements to be performed after the Closing, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of Section 10.2 and Section 10.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Purchaser and Seller, respectively, and any of their respective Affiliates, for any Liabilities (including in respect of any claims for breach of contract (including for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement), warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence), under Law or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that each Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement by any Party, or any breach of or failure by any Party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, the Parties hereby waive, on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contribution, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that they may have against Seller or any of its Affiliates, or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether arising under or based upon breach of contract (including for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement), warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence), under Law or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.

Section 10.6 Additional Indemnification Provisions. With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Agreement, all Covered Losses shall be (a) reduced by any Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in the taxable year in which such Covered Loss is paid or accrued or in the two succeeding years (it being agreed that if any such Tax benefit is realized after the relevant indemnification payment is made (such that such indemnification payment was not reduced by the amount of such Tax benefit), the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of the such Tax benefit no later than fifteen (15) days after such Tax benefit is actually realized) and (b) net of any third-party insurance or indemnity, contribution or similar proceeds that have actually been recovered by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification (it being agreed that if third-party insurance or indemnification, contribution or similar proceeds in respect of such facts are recovered by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates subsequent to the Indemnifying Party’s making of an indemnification payment in satisfaction of its applicable indemnification obligation, such proceeds shall be promptly remitted to the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the indemnification payment made) and indemnification shall not be available hereunder unless the Indemnified Party first uses, and causes its Affiliates to use, reasonable best efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance and indemnity, contribution or similar provisions covering such Covered Loss to the same extent as it would if such Covered Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder. Upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant to this Article X, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party may have against any third parties with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assign any such rights to the Indemnifying Party and otherwise cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in seeking recovery thereunder.

-89-

Section 10.7 Mitigation. Each of the Parties agrees to use, and to cause its Affiliates to use, its reasonable best efforts to mitigate its respective Covered Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Covered Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder. The Parties acknowledge and agree that indemnification under this Article X shall not be available to any Party or any Indemnified Party with respect to any Covered Loss to the extent such Covered Loss results from or arises out of, in whole or in part, a failure by such Person or its Affiliates to use reasonable best efforts to mitigate such Covered Loss.

ARTICLE XI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 11.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto, and the Confidentiality Agreement, along with the Seller Disclosure Schedules and Purchaser Disclosure Schedules, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Transaction Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

Section 11.2 Disclosure Schedules. The Seller Disclosure Schedules and the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules, and all schedules attached thereto, and all Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Exhibit or in the Seller Disclosure Schedules or the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement. Any information, item or other disclosure set forth in any Section of the Seller Disclosure Schedules or the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be disclosed with respect to any other Section of this Agreement (or to have been set forth in any other Section of the Seller Disclosure Schedules or the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules, as the case may be), if the relevance of such disclosure to such other Section is reasonably apparent notwithstanding the omission of a reference or a cross-reference with respect thereto and notwithstanding any reference to a Section of the Seller Disclosure Schedules or the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules, as applicable, in such Section of this Agreement.

-90-

Section 11.3 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned by Seller or Seller Parent on the one hand, or Purchaser on the other hand, without the prior written consent of the other provided, however, that (a) prior to the Closing, Purchaser may, subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.3, assign its rights (but not any obligations) under this Agreement to one or more Affiliates of Purchaser and (b) either Seller or Seller Parent on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, may, without the consent of the other, assign its rights, interests and obligations hereunder in their entirety in connection with a merger, consolidation or other business combination of such Party with or into another Person, in each case so long as the surviving or acquiring Person (or ultimate parent thereof) assumes all the obligations of such Party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other Party (provided that any such assignment described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall not (x) impede or delay the consummation of the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (y) result in the withholding or deduction of, or any requirement to withhold or deduct, any amount of Tax pursuant to Section 2.14 or the imposition of any Tax on Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates). Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 11.3 shall be void. Subject to the two preceding sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. In the event that Purchaser or any of its Affiliates assigns its rights under this Agreement as permitted under the first sentence of this Section 11.3 or transfers its interest in the Business, the Purchased Entity Shares or any other equity interests in the Purchased Companies or their Subsidiaries (directly, indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise) to any of Purchaser’s Affiliates, such Affiliates shall expressly assume the Liabilities and obligations of Purchaser hereunder by executing a joinder to this Agreement acceptable to Seller; provided that any such transfer shall not relieve Purchaser of its Liabilities or obligations hereunder.

Section 11.4 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties. By an instrument in writing, Purchaser, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, may waive compliance by the other with any term or provision of this Agreement that the other Party was or is obligated to comply with or perform. Such waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with such term or provision shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure of compliance.

Section 11.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 10.2 and Section 10.3, which are intended to benefit, and to be enforceable by, the indemnified parties specified therein, this Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto are not intended to confer in or on behalf of any Person not a party to this Agreement (and their successors and assigns) any rights, benefits, causes of action or remedies with respect to the subject matter or any provision hereof.

Section 11.6 Notices. All notices and other communications to be given to any Party hereunder shall be sufficiently given for all purposes hereunder if in writing and delivered by hand, courier or overnight delivery service, or five (5) days after being mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with appropriate postage prepaid, or when received in the form of a facsimile or email transmission (receipt confirmation requested), and shall be directed to the address set forth below (or at such other address or facsimile number or email address as such Party shall designate by like notice):

Section 11.7 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that each of the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled in Law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any such award is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such remedy. The foregoing is in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law, in equity or otherwise. The Parties further agree that nothing set forth in this Section 11.7 shall require any Party hereto to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any Proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 11.7 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article IX (and pursuing damages after such termination). If any Party brings any Proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other Party, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by (x) the amount of time during which such Proceeding is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days or (y) such longer time period established by the court presiding over such Proceeding.

Section 11.8 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard 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. In addition, each of the Parties (a) in the event that any dispute (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arises out of this Agreement or the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereby, submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over the applicable Proceeding, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware; (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (c) agrees that it will not bring any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the above-named courts; and (d) agrees that it will not seek to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, that any such Proceeding (i) is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) should be transferred or removed to any court other than the above-named courts, (iii) should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other proceeding in any court other than the above-named courts or (iv) that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by the above-named courts. Each Party agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such Proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 11.6.

-93-

Section 11.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE ADMINISTRATION THEREOF OR THE TRANSACTION OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN. NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENTS. NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 11.9. NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.9 WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

Section 11.10 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one (1) or more such counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered (by facsimile, email, or otherwise) to the other Party. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” from, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signatures. This Agreement has been executed in the English language. If this Agreement is translated into another language, the English language text shall in any event prevail.

Section 11.12 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whether or not the Closing takes place, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such expense.

Section 11.13 Certain Information. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no disclosure, representation or warranty shall be made (or other action taken) pursuant to this Agreement that would involve the disclosure of information to the extent such disclosure is prohibited by applicable Law or a Governmental Entity (and no representation or warranty shall be deemed breached or untrue as a result of any such disclosure not being made for such reason so long as the Party not making such disclosure has previously informed the other Party or its counsel that such Party is unable to make a disclosure that would need to be made in order for such representation and warranty to be true and correct and the general nature of such omitted disclosure). To the extent legally permissible, the Parties will cooperate in good faith to determine whether appropriate substitute disclosures or actions can be made or taken under circumstances in which the limitations of the preceding sentence apply.

-94-

Section 11.14 Interpretation; Absence of Presumption.

Section 11.15 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation; Nonassertion of Attorney-Client Privilege.

(a) Purchaser waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries, to waive and not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Representation”), of Seller or any of its Affiliates, or any shareholder, officer, employee or director of Seller or any of its Affiliates (any such Person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, by any legal counsel currently representing any Designated Person in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including Xxxxxxxx, Lipton, Xxxxx & Xxxx (any such representation, the “Current Representation”).

(b) Purchaser waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries, to waive and not assert, any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection with respect to any communication between any legal counsel and any Designated Person occurring during the Current Representation (the “Privileged Communications”) or in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute with Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, any Purchased Company or any of its Subsidiaries), including in respect of any claim for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party, it being the intention of the Parties that all such rights to such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection and to control such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection shall be retained by Seller and its Affiliates and that Seller, and not Purchaser or its Affiliates or the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries, shall have the sole right to decide whether or not to waive any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection. Accordingly, from and after Closing, none of Purchaser or its Affiliates, including the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries, shall have any access to any such communications or to the files of the Current Representation, all of which shall be and remain the property of Seller and not of Purchaser or its Affiliates, including the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries, or to internal counsel relating to such engagement, and none of Purchaser or its Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries, or any Person acting or purporting to act on their behalf shall seek to obtain the same by any process on the grounds that the privilege and protection attaching to such communications and files belongs to Purchaser or its Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries, or does not belong to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser or its Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a third party other than Seller or its Affiliates, on the other hand, Purchaser or its Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries, may seek to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Communications to such third party and request that Seller not permit such disclosure, and Seller shall consider such request in good faith.
