shall constitute an agreement to sell, contribute, dividend, assign, transfer, convey or deliver any Transferred Asset or any claim or right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted sale, contribution, dividend, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery thereof (without the consent, approval or waiver of a Third Party), would violate, constitute a default under or breach of any Contract or violate any applicable Law (each such Transferred Asset or claim or right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, a “Non-Assignable Asset”), without first obtaining all such necessary approvals, consents and waivers of such Third Parties, and this Agreement and the applicable Reorganization Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a sale, contribution, dividend, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery or attempted contribution, dividend, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery thereof and the applicable provisions of this Section 2.02 shall apply in regard to all such Non-Assignable Assets.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Reorganization Agreement, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law or Contract, in the event that any applicable approval, consent or waiver to the contribution, dividend, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any Non-Assignable Asset cannot be obtained prior to the Closing, BSAI shall hold, or cause to be held, such Non-Assignable Asset, as of and from the Closing, in trust for the Company and the covenants and Liabilities thereunder shall be performed by the Company (and Buyer shall cause the Company to do so) in BSAI’s name and all benefits and Liabilities existing thereunder shall be for the Company (in each case solely to the extent they would otherwise be Liabilities of the Company hereunder). To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law or Contract, Seller shall cause BSAI to take, at Buyer’s cost and expense (except to the extent Seller is liable therefor under this Agreement), such commercially reasonable actions in its name or otherwise as Buyer may reasonably request so as to provide the Company with the benefits of the Non-Assignable Assets, to effect the collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Non-Assignable Assets and to enforce for the benefit of the Company and at the expense of the Company, any and all rights against a Third Party arising under such Non-Assignable Asset (“Third-Party Rights”), and Seller shall cause BSAI to promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company all money or other consideration received by BSAI in respect of all Non-Assignable Assets.

If and when such necessary approvals, consents and waivers are obtained after the Closing to effect the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and

delivery of any Transferred Asset that had constituted a Non-Assignable Asset, such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery shall be reasonably promptly effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, for no additional consideration, after which, such Transferred Asset shall no longer be subject to this Section 2.02 as a Non-Assignable Asset.

(b)Review of Initial Post-Closing Statement by Seller. Seller shall have sixty (60) days after the date on which it receives the Initial Post-Closing Statement to review the Initial Post-Closing Statement and the calculation set forth therein (the “Review Period”). To facilitate such review, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, provide Seller and its Representatives with reasonable access to the employees of Buyer and the Acquired Companies (including to the Chief Financial Officer of Buyer) and to documentation, books, records and other information of Buyer and the Acquired Companies as Seller or any of its Representatives may reasonably request for purposes of assisting Seller in its review of the Initial Post-Closing Statement (including Buyer’s work papers relating to the Initial Post-Closing Statement); provided, that such access does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of Buyer or the Acquired Companies, is at Seller’s sole expense and subject to (x) any applicable privileges (including, attorney-client privilege), the attorney work product doctrine or any similar protections, (y) contractual obligations, including the terms of any confidentiality agreement to which Buyer or the Acquired Companies is a party, and (z) the delivery of all requests for access to Buyer or such other Person as Buyer may designate in writing from time to time and prior to the execution of customary access letters, it being understood and agreed that Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to permit such disclosure in a manner that does not violate the foregoing clauses (x), (y) and (z).

If Seller disagrees with any portion of the Initial Post-Closing Statement (including any amount or calculation set forth therein), Seller may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a notice to Buyer setting forth, in reasonable detail, each disputed portion (including any item or amount) and the basis for Seller’s disagreement

therewith (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice must set forth, with respect to each disputed item, Seller’s rationale for each such disputed item and Seller’s position as to the correct amount or calculation that should have been included in the Initial Post-Closing Statement, including reasonable and relevant supporting alternative calculations, documentation and information. For the avoidance of doubt, any item or amount to which no dispute is raised in the Dispute Notice will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto for purposes of this Agreement.

(d)Consultation. For a period of thirty (30) days beginning on the date on which Buyer receives a Dispute Notice or any mutually-agreed extension thereof (the “Consultation Period”), if any, Buyer and Seller shall endeavor in good faith to resolve by mutual agreement all matters identified in the Dispute Notice.

(e)Independent Accounting Firm. In the event Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve by mutual agreement any matter identified in the Dispute Notice within the Consultation Period, Buyer or Seller shall engage CBIZ, Inc. or another mutually agreed independent, nationally-recognized certified public accounting firm in the United States mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to make a determination with respect to all of such matters in dispute. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree upon such a firm within ten (10) Business Days after the end of the Consultation Period, then within an additional ten (10) Business Days, Buyer and Seller shall each select one such firm and those two firms shall select a third such firm, in which event the “Independent Accounting Firm” shall be such third firm. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, proportionately based on the determination by the Independent Accounting Firm of the matters submitted to it pursuant to Section 2.06(f); provided, that any initial engagement fee shall be borne fifty percent (50%) each by Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, with such initial allocation to be reallocated based on the final determination by the Accounting Firm, as applicable. The calculation of such proportionate payments shall be based on the relative position of the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in comparison to the positions submitted to it pursuant to this Section 2.06. All other fees and expenses incurred by Buyer or Seller in connection with the preparation or review of the Initial Post-Closing Statement or the Dispute Notice shall be borne by the party incurring such fees and expenses.

(f)Dispute Resolution Procedure. Buyer and Seller shall direct the Independent Accounting Firm to render a determination within sixty (60) days after its retention, and shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, cooperate with the Independent Accounting Firm during its engagement in connection with this Agreement. Each of Buyer and Seller shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the Independent Accounting Firm’s engagement, submit to the Independent Accounting Firm its calculations of the disputed items or amounts identified in the Dispute Notice and information, arguments and support for their respective positions, and shall concurrently deliver a copy of such materials to the other party. Each party shall then be given an opportunity to supplement the information, arguments and support included in its initial submission with one additional submission to respond to any arguments or positions taken by the other party in such other party's initial submission, which supplemental information shall be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm (with a copy thereof to the other party) within five (5) Business Days after the first date on which both parties have submitted their respective initial submissions to the Independent Accounting Firm. The

Independent Accounting Firm shall thereafter be permitted to request additional or clarifying information from the parties, and each of the parties shall cooperate and shall cause their Representatives to cooperate with such requests of the Independent Accounting Firm. All written submissions made by any party to the Independent Accounting Firm must be delivered substantially contemporaneously to the other party, and any discussions between the Independent Accounting Firm and a party may only occur in the presence (including by telephone) of the other party. The Independent Accounting Firm shall determine, based solely on the materials so presented by the parties and upon information received in response to such requests for additional or clarifying information and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute specifically set forth in the Dispute Notice and shall render a written report to Buyer and Seller (the “Adjustment Report”) in which the Independent Accounting Firm shall, after considering all matters set forth in the Dispute Notice, make a final determination, binding on the parties to this Agreement, of the appropriate amount of each of the line items in the Initial Post-Closing Statement as to which Buyer and Seller disagree as identified in the Dispute Notice. During the review by the Independent Accounting Firm, Buyer and Seller and their respective accountants will each make available to the Independent Accounting Firm interviews with such individuals, and such information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.06 and preparing and rendering the Adjustment Report; provided, however, that the accountants of Seller, any of its Affiliates or Buyer shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Independent Accounting Firm except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after the Independent Accounting Firm has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

(g)Adjustment Report. The Adjustment Report shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination with respect to each of the disputed items or amounts specified in the Dispute Notice, and the revisions, if any, to be made to the Initial Post-Closing Statement, together with supporting calculations. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accounting Firm (i) shall be bound to the principles of this Section 2.06 and the terms of this Agreement, (ii) shall limit its review to matters specifically set forth in the Dispute Notice and (iii) shall not assign a value to any item higher than the highest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either party. The Adjustment Report, absent fraud, shall be final and binding upon Buyer and Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accounting Firm shall not have the authority to resolve issues relating to (i) breaches of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, or (ii) other claims that are not within the scope of the disputed matters specifically set forth in the Dispute Notice.

(h)Final Amounts. The Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses as of the Adjustment Time that is final and binding on the parties to this Agreement, as determined through agreement of the parties to this Agreement or through the action of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.06 are referred to herein, respectively, as the “Final Closing Net Working Capital,” “Final Closing Cash”, “Final Closing Indebtedness” and “Final Closing Transaction Expenses”.

Section 2.07Post-Closing Adjustment Payment. For purposes of this Agreement, “Post-Closing Difference” means the amount (expressed either as a positive or negative number, as applicable) of (a) an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Final Closing Net Working Capital, plus

(ii) the Final Closing Cash, minus (iii) the Final Closing Indebtedness and minus (iv) the Final Closing Transaction Expenses minus (b) an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, plus (ii) the Estimated Closing Cash, minus (iii) the Estimated Closing Indebtedness and minus (iv) the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses. If the Post-Closing Difference is equal to $0, no payment shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.07. If the Post-Closing Difference is a positive number, then Buyer shall pay in cash to Seller the amount of the Post-Closing Difference. If the Post-Closing Difference is a negative number, then Seller shall pay in cash to Buyer the absolute value of the amount of the Post-Closing Difference. Any such payment (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”) shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Net Working Capital, Final Closing Cash, Final Closing Indebtedness and Final Closing Transaction Expenses are finally determined as contemplated by Section 2.06(h), together with interest thereon, as has accrued from the Closing Date until the date of payment, at the Interest Rate calculated and payable in cash in accordance with Section 2.08.

Section 2.08Payments and Computations. Each party shall make each payment due under this Agreement to the other party as early as practicable on the day when due. All payments (including the cash portion of the Closing Payment) shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in advance by the party receiving such payment and shall be free and clear of any withholding for Taxes. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Whenever any payment under this Agreement shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of, and payment of, interest.

Section 2.09Allocation of Purchase Price. No later than sixty (60) days after the date of the determination of the Post-Closing Difference, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a draft of an allocation statement (the “Allocation Statement”) setting forth its proposed allocation of the purchase price for federal income tax purposes (including the Base Purchase Price (as adjusted), the amount of Assumed Liabilities, the Liabilities of the Acquired Companies and any other relevant amounts) among the Transferred Assets and the assets of the Acquired Companies. The Allocation Statement shall be reasonable and shall be prepared in accordance with (i) Sections 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and (ii) Schedule 2.09 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules. If within forty-five (45) days after Buyer’s receipt of the draft Allocation Statement, Buyer agrees in writing to such draft Allocation Statement, then the Allocation Statement shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and Buyer, Seller and their respective Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such agreed allocation. In the event that Buyer objects in writing to the draft Allocation Statement within such forty-five (45) day period, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute.

(c)As of the date hereof, the Equity Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and has not been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded or otherwise amended, supplemented or modified (or contemplated to be amended, supplemented or modified) in any respect. The Equity Commitment Letter is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer and the Sponsor, enforceable against such parties in accordance with its terms (except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity).

The parties to this Agreement shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of each other in promptly seeking to obtain all such Governmental Approvals.

(g)No Representations. The foregoing agreements in this Section 7.03 are made solely to facilitate the Closing and do not constitute a representation or admission that the transactions contemplated hereby, if consummated without any modification, would violate any Law or that agreeing to any divestitures, hold separate conditions or other restrictions permitted herein or suggested by any Person or authority acting under any Law would not be harmful to the parties.

(h)No Control Over Other’s Assets.

As part of the Reorganization, Seller shall be permitted to cause any Acquired Company that owns any assets that would be Excluded Assets if owned by BSAI, to transfer such assets pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Agreements so that as of the Closing such assets are owned by Seller or one of its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Companies). Buyer will use its reasonable best efforts to provide all reasonable cooperation requested by Seller with respect to effecting the Reorganization.

(b)Prior to the Closing, Seller or BSAI, as applicable, and Buyer or Buyer Party, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into the Hawaii Sublease Agreement and the Worcester Sublease Agreement, the terms of which shall be agreed upon in good faith by Seller and Buyer prior to the Closing, in order to separate the use, occupancy and operations of the Business from the Retained Business. To the extent required under the existing lease agreements affecting each of the Hawaii Branch and the Worcester Branch, or by Governmental Authorities, Seller or BSAI, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all required consents from the landlords under the lease agreements and all permits, certificates of occupancy and zoning variances from the Governmental Authorities required to enter into the Sublease Agreements or such other arrangement as agreed to by the parties and as are necessary for the accomplishment of the legal and physical separation of the Business from the Retained Business in the Hawaii Branch and the Worcester Branch.

(a)Subject to the standard document retention policies of each party and its Affiliates, for a period of six (6) years following the Closing, each party shall preserve all pre-Closing Date books and records of the Acquired Companies and the Business possessed or controlled by such Person. During such period, upon any reasonable request from party or its authorized Representatives (the “Requesting Party”), the other party or any of its Affiliates holding such books and records (the “Disclosing Party”) shall (a) provide the Requesting Party reasonable access to such books and records during normal business hours; provided, that such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Disclosing Party holding such books and records and (b) permit the Requesting Party to make copies of such books and records, in each case, at no cost to the Disclosing Party (other than for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses). Nothing herein shall require the Disclosing Party to disclose any information to the Requesting Party if such disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, the work product immunity or any other legal privilege or similar doctrine or contravene any applicable

Law, Governmental Order or any fiduciary duty (it being understood that the Disclosing Party shall (i) cooperate with any requests for, and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain, any waivers, and (ii) use their reasonable best efforts to make other arrangements (including redacting information or entering into common interest or joint defense agreements or establishing clean team arrangements), in each case, that would enable otherwise required disclosure to Seller or its Representatives to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such applicable Law, Governmental Order or fiduciary duty or agreement) or (except as provided in Section 10.02) require Buyer or its Affiliates to disclose its Tax records (except for Tax records of, or with respect to, the Acquired Companies) or any personnel or related records.

(b)Such books and records may be requested under this Section 8.01 for any reasonable business purpose, including to the extent reasonably required in connection with accounting, litigation, financial reporting, federal securities disclosure, compliance with contractual obligations of the parties to this Agreement, preparation of the Initial Post-Closing Statement (if applicable), claims relating to Excluded Liabilities or other similar purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the expiration of such retention period, any and all such books and records may be destroyed by either party, if such party sends to the other party written notice of its intent to destroy such books and records, specifying in reasonable detail the contents of the books and records to be destroyed; such books and records may then be destroyed after the sixtieth (60th) day following such notice unless the other party notifies such party of its desire to obtain possession of such books and records, in which event such party shall transfer the books and records to the other party and the other party shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

(a)At the Closing, (i) Seller shall cause all tangible books and records of the Acquired Companies and the Business to be located on the Real Properties and such tangible books and records shall be transferred to Buyer by possession of such premises and (ii) Seller shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Buyer all original corporate records of the Acquired Companies relating to the legal existence, ownership and corporate governance of the Acquired Companies and all Permits of the Acquired Companies, in each case, that are not located on the Real Property or otherwise possessed or controlled by the Acquired Companies. Prior to the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to develop and implement a plan that will result in the delivery or transfer of all other books and records of the Acquired Companies and the Business to Buyer or the Acquired Companies at, or as soon as reasonably practicable following, the Closing. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, Seller and its Affiliates shall have the right to retain copies of all books and records of the Acquired Companies and the Business relating to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

(b)For a period of three (3) years after the Closing, Buyer shall provide reasonable assistance to Seller in connection with any reporting obligations of Seller pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any of the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder and any other financial reporting obligations of Seller, in each case, related to the Business or the Acquired Companies.

(a)The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, by and between Seller and Buyer are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time the confidentiality obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate; provided, that remedies with respect to breaches of such Confidentiality Agreement that occurred prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing. If for any reason the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(b)From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, maintain in confidence any confidential information of the Business that is not an Excluded Asset and that was obtained prior to the Closing Date or obtained from Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant to Section 8.01.

(c)From and after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) and its and their Representatives to, maintain in confidence any confidential information of Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date and not use such information in connection with the operation of any Restricted Business during the five years after the Closing Date, other than confidential information of the Business that is not an Excluded Asset.

(d)The requirements of Section 8.03(b) and Section 8.03(c) shall not apply to the extent that (i) any such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than (A) in the case of Buyer, as a result of disclosure by Seller, its Affiliates or any of its respective Representatives and (B) in the case of Seller, as a result of disclosure by Buyer, the Acquired Companies (after the Closing Date) or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, (ii) any such information is required or requested by applicable Law, Governmental Order or a Governmental Authority to be disclosed after prior notice has been given to the other party (to the extent such prior notice is permitted to be given under applicable Law); provided, that the disclosing party, to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, shall cooperate with such other party in seeking an appropriate order or other remedy protecting such information from disclosure, (iii) any such information is reasonably necessary to be disclosed in connection with any Action or (iv) any such information was or becomes available to such party on a non-confidential basis and from a source (other than a party to this Agreement or any Affiliate or Representative of such party) that is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information. Each of the parties hereto shall instruct its Affiliates and Representatives having access to such information of such confidentiality obligations.

Section 8.04Insurance. Effective at the time of the Closing, the Acquired Companies and the Business shall cease to be insured by any claims-based insurance policies or self-insurance programs of Seller and its Affiliates to the extent that the cessation of such coverage would be consistent with the terms of such policies and programs. In addition, with respect to any claims, acts, omissions, events, circumstances, occurrences or losses that occur prior to the Closing and which Seller becomes aware (excluding constructive knowledge) of prior to Closing for which coverage under such policies would be available, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file all claims for coverage thereunder in the ordinary course of business in accordance with its standard risk management and claims procedures. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to its

obligations pursuant to this Agreement, Seller shall retain all rights to control its insurance policies and self-insurance programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and self-insurance programs and Seller shall retain any premiums or other retentions paid by the Business prior to the Closing Date in respect of any insurance coverage. For any claim that may be asserted by the Acquired Companies or their Affiliates with respect to the Business after the Closing Date arising out of events, incidents, conduct or circumstances that occurred prior to the Closing (such claims, “Pre-Closing Claims”), the Acquired Companies or their Affiliates may tender such Pre-Closing Claim to Seller for submission by Seller or one of its Affiliates to the applicable Third-Party insurer under any of the occurrence-based Third-Party insurance policies of Seller or its Affiliates issued prior to the Closing Date to the extent such insurance coverage exists at the time the Pre-Closing Claim is tendered to Seller and under which the Acquired Companies or the Business, Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities were insured as of the date of the events, incidents, conduct or circumstances giving rise to such Pre-Closing Claim if permitted by the terms of such policy (such policies, the “Applicable Pre-Closing Policies” and each such claim a “Noticed Pre-Closing Claim”), and Seller shall reasonably promptly thereafter tender, or cause one of its controlled Affiliates to tender, such Pre-Closing Claim to the applicable insurer for coverage; provided, however, that (a) neither Buyer, the Acquired Companies nor their Affiliates shall have any recourse to Seller pursuant to this Section 8.04 for any uninsured or uncovered amounts for such Pre-Closing Claims (including any deductible or other amount for which Seller provides self-insurance); (b) Buyer or the applicable Acquired Company shall be responsible for the satisfaction or payment of any and all associated self-retentions, deductibles, costs and expenses with respect to any Pre-Closing Claims and shall promptly reimburse Seller or its applicable Affiliates for its respective reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with collecting insurance proceeds in respect of such claims or otherwise under this Section 8.04; (c) Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller with respect to the tendering of any such claims including providing notices, information and backup materials as may be necessary in connection therewith; (d) the parties shall work in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure compliance with all of the applicable terms of such policies so as to minimize the risk of loss of coverage thereunder; (e) Seller shall not be required to make any concessions to any insurance carrier in connection with any Pre-Closing Claim; and (f) Seller shall not be required to take any action that would violate any Applicable Pre-Closing Policy (and Seller makes no representation or warranty with respect to the ability to take any of the actions otherwise contemplated by this Section 8.04). Seller shall notify Buyer and the applicable Acquired Company of all material coverage-related correspondence with the insurer(s) in respect of any Pre-Closing Claims and, if any amounts are paid or to be paid by the insurer in respect thereof, shall request that such insurer make payment directly to the applicable Acquired Company, or shall transfer such insurance net proceeds actually received by Seller or its applicable Affiliates to the applicable Acquired Company no later than ten (10) days after receipt of such insurance proceeds. Buyer agrees that neither it nor any of the Acquired Companies shall have the right to request that Seller make any claim under any Applicable Pre-Closing Policy until Buyer has undertaken commercially reasonable efforts to first recover for such claims under all insurance policies of Buyer and its Buyer Affiliates with respect to such claims. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive or abrogate in any way Seller’s or its Affiliates’ own rights to insurance coverage for any liability, whether relating to the Acquired Companies or otherwise.

(a)Other than the Transferred Owned Intellectual Property, and other than as contemplated in the Transaction Agreements, Buyer is not purchasing, acquiring or otherwise obtaining any right, title or interest in or to any Excluded Intellectual Property, including any Excluded Trademarks. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall contest the validity, enforceability, registration or ownership of any rights of Seller or its Affiliates in or to any of the Excluded Intellectual Property or Excluded Trademarks.

(b)For a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Closing, Buyer may continue to use the Excluded Trademarks that are used in the Business as of the Closing in substantially the same manner that such Excluded Trademarks are used in connection with the Business immediately prior to the Closing; provided, that Buyer shall have one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Closing to remove signage which contain Excluded Trademarks from the Branches (such one hundred and twenty (120) day period or one hundred and eighty (180) day period, as applicable, the “Trademark Transition Period”). Following Trademark Transition Period, as further described in Section 8.05(c) below, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) shall not make any use of the Excluded Trademarks, either alone or in combination with other words and all Trademarks or Internet domain names similar to any of the foregoing or embodying any of the foregoing alone or in combination with other words. The rights of the Acquired Companies to the Excluded Trademarks pursuant to the terms of any existing trademark agreements (for clarity, other than this Agreement) shall terminate on the Closing Date. Nothing in this Section 8.05(b) shall prohibit Buyer or the Acquired Companies from using the Excluded Trademarks in a text-only form as expressly provided in any Transaction Agreement, or in connection with historical, tax, employment or similar references to the Business, or for purposes of prospectus and similar disclosures as are necessary and appropriate to describe the historical relationship of the Acquired Companies and Seller and its Affiliates or as otherwise required by Law.

(c)Except as expressly provided in the Transaction Agreements, following the Trademark Transition Period, Buyer (including the Acquired Companies) shall cease all of its use of the Excluded Trademarks for internal Business purposes and re-label, destroy, delete or exhaust all materials bearing the Excluded Trademarks, including signage, advertising, promotional materials, Software, packaging, inventory, electronic materials, collateral goods, stationery, business cards, websites and other materials (except to the extent any such materials must be retained to comply with applicable Laws or document retention notices issued by any Governmental Authority), and make all filings with any office, agency or body to effect the elimination of any use of the Excluded Trademarks from the businesses of the Acquired Companies, to the extent required to bring Buyer and its Affiliates into compliance with this Section 8.05. Promptly thereafter, Buyer shall send a written statement to Seller verifying that it has re-labeled, destroyed, deleted or exhausted all materials bearing the Excluded Trademarks. Use of the Excluded Trademarks during any period(s) authorized by the Transaction Agreements shall (i) be only with respect to goods and services of a level of quality equal to or greater than the quality of goods and services with respect to which Seller and its Affiliates used the Excluded Trademarks prior to Closing and (ii) comply with all graphic and other standards for use of the Excluded Trademarks in effect on the Closing Date or as the same may be amended by Seller following the Closing Date. Buyer shall take all necessary action to ensure that other users of the

Excluded Trademarks, whose rights terminate upon the Closing pursuant to this Section 8.05, shall cease use of the Excluded Trademarks, except as expressly authorized thereafter by Seller. After the Closing Date, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) shall not expressly, or by implication, do business as or represent themselves as Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(d)In the event Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer (including the Acquired Companies after the Closing) violates any of its obligations under this Section 8.05, Seller and its Affiliates may proceed against Buyer or its Affiliates at law or in equity for such damages or other relief as a court may deem appropriate. A violation of this Section 8.05 may cause Seller and its Affiliates irreparable harm, which may not be adequately compensated for by money damages. In the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 8.05, Seller and any of its Affiliates shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that they may have, to seek a temporary restraining order and to seek preliminary and final injunctive relief against Buyer or such Affiliate of Buyer to prevent any violations of this Section 8.05 without the necessity of posting a bond.

Section 8.06Guarantees. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) (collectively, the “Seller Guarantors”) to be fully and irrevocably released, as of the Closing Date or as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, or cause Buyer or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Seller and any of its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) in respect of all Liabilities under any guaranties, letters of credit, financial assurances, letters of comfort, bid bonds or performance or surety bonds or cash or other collateral obtained or given by the Seller Guarantors as set forth on Schedule 8.06 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules to the extent the underlying Liabilities are also Assumed Liabilities or any obligations under any Transferred Leases to the extent such obligations constitute Assumed Liabilities (collectively, the “Seller Guaranties”); provided, that such schedule may be supplemented by Seller following the date of this Agreement with written notice to Buyer for any additional guaranties or other instruments inadvertently omitted by Seller that do not expand the scope of Assumed Liabilities or with respect to new similar guaranties entered into in the ordinary course of business after the date hereof to the extent that the primary Liability under such guaranty is an Assumed Liability. If Buyer and Seller are unable to effect such a substitution and release with respect to any Seller Guaranty prior to the Closing, the parties shall continue to cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to terminate any such Seller Guaranty as provided above, or cause Buyer or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for the Seller Guarantors in respect of all obligations of the Seller Guarantors under any such Seller Guarantees, and any and all Losses arising from such Seller Guaranty after the Closing shall be Assumed Liabilities. Without limiting the foregoing, after the Closing Date, Buyer will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates, successors or assigns to, (i) renew, extend, amend or supplement any Contract or otherwise extend the term of or increase any obligation that is covered by or the subject of a Seller Guaranty, (ii) transfer to a Third Party any such Contract or other obligation or (iii) obtain a release from all obligations under such Contract or other obligation contemplated by clause (i) or (ii), without providing Seller with evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the Seller Guaranty has been irrevocably and fully released.

Section 8.07Transaction Agreements. The parties have agreed to the forms of Transaction Agreements attached as Exhibits A through H and shall, at or prior to the Closing, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, each such agreement.

(a)For a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly, hire, contact, induce, solicit the employment of any Business Employee; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.08(a) shall prohibit Seller or any of its Subsidiaries from placing public advertisements or engaging in any other form of general solicitations not directed at such Persons (including the use of an independent employment agency or search firm whose efforts are not specifically directed at Business Employees) or from soliciting the services of any such Person whose employment with or engagement by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) has been terminated by Buyer or its applicable Affiliate or who has otherwise ceased to be employed or engaged by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) for a period of at least three (3) months prior to the first contact by Seller or any of its Affiliates with such Person.

(b)For a period of one (1) year from the Closing Date, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) not to, without the prior written consent of Seller, directly or indirectly, hire, contact, induce, solicit the employment of any person identified on Section 8.08(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules who is employed by Seller or any of its Affiliates as of the Closing; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.08(b) shall prohibit Buyer or any of its Affiliates from placing public advertisements or engaging in any other form of general solicitations not directed at such Persons (including the use of an independent employment agency or search firm whose efforts are not specifically directed at such Persons) or from soliciting the services of any such Person whose employment with or engagement by Seller or any of its Affiliates has been terminated by Seller or its applicable Affiliate or who has otherwise ceased to be employed or engaged by Seller or any of its Affiliates for a period of at least three (3) months prior to the first contact by Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

(c)For a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, within the United States of America, own, manage, operate or control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of, any Person that is engaged in the business of distributing or selling Drywall, acoustical ceiling tiles or grid, metal or alloy stud, metal or alloy framing, Drywall accessories or Insulation (the “Restricted Business”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.08(c) shall prohibit or otherwise restrict Seller or its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates from:

(i)owning or acquiring, for purposes of passive investment, less than 5% of (A) any class of securities or (B) the value of the Indebtedness of any Person that engages in all or a portion of the Restricted Business; or

(ii)engaging in the distribution or selling of Drywall, acoustical ceiling tiles or grid, metal or alloy stud, metal or alloy framing, Drywall accessories or Insulation in connection with the conduct of the Retained Business, which distribution or sale is consistent with past practices of the Seller or any member of the Seller Group (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall specifically include future changes in or additions to the locations from which such activities occur within the Retained Business to the extent

consistent with past practices of the Seller), provided that the total annual aggregate revenues from the distribution or sale of such products does not exceed one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) (such amount, the “Restricted Business Cap”).

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it will not be a violation of Section 8.08(c) hereof for Seller or its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates to acquire and operate any previously non-Affiliated business (regardless of the legal form of the acquisition, including the purchase of assets, equity or a merger) that is engaged in part in the Restricted Business in the United States of America (an “Acquired Business”); provided, however, that at the time of the acquisition of such Acquired Business, less than 25% of the aggregate gross revenues of the Acquired Business is from engaging in the Restricted Business in the United States of America and provided further that if at the time of the acquisition, greater than 25% of the aggregate gross revenues of the Acquired Business is from engaging in the Restricted Business in the United States of America, Seller or the applicable Subsidiary (the “Acquiring Party”) shall sell or otherwise transfer all right, title and interests in and to the portions of such Acquired Business that would otherwise violate Section 8.08(c) (such portions, collectively, the “Competing Business”) to a third-party within nine (9) months after the closing of the Acquiring Party’s acquisition of such Competing Business such that, following such sale or transfer of the Competing Business, less than 25% of the aggregate gross revenues of the Acquired Business will be from engaging in the Restricted Business. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate revenues derived from the portion of the Acquired Business that is the Competing Business shall be subject to and count towards the Restricted Business Cap. In the event that an Acquiring Party acquires a Competing Business, within ten (10) Business Days following the closing of the Acquiring Party’s acquisition of such Competing Business, Seller shall deliver a written notice to Buyer informing Buyer of such acquisition.

(a)Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to, and will cause each of the Acquired Companies to use its respective reasonable best efforts, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to, provide Buyer with all customary cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to assist Buyer in obtaining the Debt Financing, including using reasonable best efforts to:

(i) (A) as promptly as reasonably practicable, provide the Required Information and (B) cause Ernst & Young LLP or such other accounting firm of international recognition (the “Auditors”) to audit (the “Audit”) the balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and September 20, 2019 for the Business and a statement of operations for the two years ended September 30, 2020 for the Business, and, upon completion of the Audit, to deliver to Seller as promptly as practicable following the date hereof (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Seller not later than 5:00 pm, New York City time, on January 18, 2021 and, as practicable, will endeavor to provide statements in advance of such date): (I) such financial statements (including the notes thereto) with such adjustments as necessary to permit the Auditors to deliver the hereinafter described audit report (the “Audited Financial Statements”); (II) an audit report stating (without qualification) that in its opinion the Audited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of

the Business on September 30, 2020 and the results of its operations for the respective periods covered thereby (the “Audit Report”); and (III) the unaudited statements of operations of the Business for the nine (9) month periods ended on September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019;

(ii)as promptly as reasonably practicable, inform Buyer if the Company or its Subsidiaries shall have actual knowledge of any facts that would be reasonably likely to (x) require the restatement of any financial statements comprising a portion of the Required Information in order for such financial statements to comply with GAAP or (y) result in any of the Required Information no longer being Compliant.

(iii)assist Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources with the preparation of customary rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda, offering memoranda, confidential information memoranda, private placement memoranda, prospectuses and similar marketing documents and investor and lender presentations (including a customary authorization letter) required in connection with the Debt Financing;

information related to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or any adjustments that are not directly related to the acquisition of the Acquired Companies by Buyer.

(vi)provide customary assistance to Buyer in connection with Buyer’s preparation of any loan agreement, indenture, guarantees, pledge and security documents and other definitive financing documents as may be reasonably requested by Buyer or the Debt Financing Sources or otherwise reasonably cooperating with Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources in facilitating the pledging of collateral and the granting of security interests relating to the collateral required by the Debt Commitment Letter, it being understood that (i) Seller will not be required to (x) actually prepare any such documents or (y) prior to the Closing, execute any such documents and (ii) such documents will not take effect until the Effective Time;

(x)cooperate with Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources (or Third Party evaluators on their behalf), subject to Section 7.02, in obtaining customary appraisals and field exams required in connection with the Debt Financing upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours and in providing such information as is reasonably requested to assist Buyer in its preparation of borrowing base certificates required in connection with the Debt Financing and determination of eligible borrowing base assets, including permitting prospective lenders or investors involved in the Debt Financing to evaluate the Acquired Companies’ inventory, current assets and cash management systems for the purpose of establishing collateral arrangements (including sufficient access to allow the Debt Financing Sources to conduct field exams, commercial finance examinations and inventory, equipment and real property appraisals) and other customary collateral-related diligence, in each case, to the extent necessary to obtain any portion of the Debt Financing consisting of an asset-based credit facility.

(b)Nothing in this Section 8.09 will require Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to (i) pay any fees or reimburse any expenses, or otherwise incur any liability in connection with the

Financing prior to the Effective Time, (ii) take any action that would, or would reasonably be expected to (x) cause any condition set forth in Article XI to not be satisfied, (y) conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, the organizational documents of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or any Laws or (z) result in any employee, officer or director of such Person incurring any personal liability (as opposed to liability in his or her capacity as an officer of such Person) with respect to any matters related to the Debt Financing, (iii) enter into any agreement (other than customary authorization letters) that would be effective prior to the Effective Time or that is not contingent on the occurrence of the Effective Time (it being understood that no (A) employee, officer, director, member or manager who shall not be a continuing employee, officer, director, member or manager of the Acquired Companies after the Effective Time and (B) member of the Seller Group shall be required to take any such action), (iv) give any indemnities that are effective prior to the Effective Time, (v) take any action that, in the good faith determination of Seller, would unreasonably interfere with the ordinary conduct of the Business or the ongoing operations of Seller and its Subsidiaries, (vi) provide any adjustments to any pro forma financial information required to be provided in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letter, (vii) pass resolutions or consents to approve or adopt any Financing or agreements related thereto (or any alternative financing) that would be effective prior to the Effective Time or that is not contingent on the occurrence of the Effective Time (it being understood that no (A) employee, officer, director, member or manager who shall not be a continuing employee, officer, director, member or manager of the Acquired Companies after the Effective Time and (B) member of the Seller Group shall be required to take any such action) or (viii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, any solvency or similar certificate or any legal opinions. Seller hereby consents to the use of the logos of the Business (other than the name “Beacon Roofing Supply” or any derivation thereof) in connection with the initial syndication or marketing of the Debt Financing so long as such logos (A) are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, or reasonably likely to, harm or disparage Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or their marks and (B) are used solely in connection with a description of the Acquired Companies, the Business or the other transactions contemplated hereby. Promptly upon request by Seller, Buyer will reimburse Seller for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller or its Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives in connection with the cooperation of the Company and its Representatives contemplated by this Section 8.09. Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Seller and the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with their cooperation with the Debt Financing pursuant to this Agreement or the provision of information utilized in connection therewith (other than historical information provided by Seller, its Subsidiaries and/or their respective Representatives in writing for use in connection with the Debt Financing), except to the extent such Losses arise out of or result from the gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith of Seller or any Seller Indemnified Party.

(c)Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither the obtaining of the Financing or any alternative financing is a condition to the Closing, and reaffirms its obligation to consummate transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any alternative financing, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 11.02.

Section 8.10D&O Liabilities. From and after the Closing Date until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to maintain in full the indemnification obligations set forth in the applicable organizational documents of the Acquired Companies, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing with such changes as may be required under applicable Law, with respect to all past directors, officers and managers of the Acquired Companies as well as all directors, officers and managers of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing Date, in each case, for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date in their capacities as such, and to indemnify and hold harmless such Persons in accordance therewith. Buyer, Seller and any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.10 shall cooperate in the defense of any litigation under this Section 8.10 and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Section 8.11Deletion of Software. In the event that after the Closing either party becomes aware of any instance of any Software in its possession that is owned by or licensed to the other party or any of its Affiliates and that is not licensed to such party or its Subsidiaries, such party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to delete such instances of the Software as soon as practicable.

(a)To the extent that, during the twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, Buyer or Seller discovers that any assets:

(i)not intended to be directly or indirectly transferred to Buyer pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement were transferred (or held by the Acquired Companies) at Closing (each, a “Held Asset”), Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to (i) promptly assign and transfer all right, title and interest in such Held Asset to Seller or its designated assignee, and (ii) pending such transfer, (A) hold in trust such Held Asset and provide to Seller or its designated assignee all of the benefits associated with the ownership of the Held Asset, and (B) cause such Held Asset to be used or retained as may be reasonably instructed by Seller.

(b)In the event that, following the Closing, (i) Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies) receives any payment that is for the account of Seller or any of its Affiliates in respect of the Retained Business or otherwise according to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer shall promptly remit (or cause to be promptly

remitted) such funds to Seller or an entity designated by Seller, or (ii) Seller or any Affiliate of Seller receives any payment that is for the account of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer in respect of the Business or otherwise according to the terms of this Agreement, Seller shall promptly remit (or cause to be promptly remitted) such funds to Buyer or an entity designated by Buyer.

(a)Seller and Buyer (i) shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, such documents and other papers and shall take, or shall cause to be taken, such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions of the Transaction Agreements and give effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, (ii) shall refrain from taking any actions that could reasonably be expected to impair, delay or impede the Closing, (iii) without limiting the foregoing, but subject to Section 7.03(b), shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause all the conditions to the obligations of the other party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be met as soon as reasonably practicable and (iv) shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate an orderly Closing and transition.

(b)Each of Seller and Buyer shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of the matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including with respect to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article XI. From time to time following the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all reasonable further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquittances and such instruments, and shall take such reasonable actions as may be necessary or appropriate to make effective the transactions contemplated hereby as may be reasonably requested by the other party.

Section 8.14Exclusivity. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, through any Affiliate, Representative or otherwise, solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person, with respect to any (a) direct or indirect merger, equity purchase or consolidation of the Business, (b) acquisition or purchase, directly or indirectly, of all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the equity interests in, the Business or (c) similar transaction or business combination (a “Competing Transaction”), nor participate in any or continue any ongoing discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other person or entity any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or facilitate any effort or attempt by any person or entity to effect a Competing Transaction. Seller shall, and shall instruct all Persons acting on behalf of it to immediately cease any existing activities, discussions and negotiations with any Persons with respect to any of the foregoing. Promptly, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Day following the date of this Agreement, Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished in connection with a potential Competing Transaction to any Person with whom Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives has had discussions or negotiations with respect to a Competing Transaction in the last twelve (12) months and shall terminate all physical and electronic dataroom access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives. Nothing in this Section 8.14 shall be deemed to limit the ability of or otherwise prohibit Seller or any of its Affiliates from

having discussions with respect to, or otherwise taking actions in connection with, any potential sale or disposition of a majority or more of the consolidated assets, revenue or income of the Retained Business.

Section 8.15Bank Accounts. Prior to Closing, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to separate the bank accounts of the Acquired Companies and those of Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies).

Section 8.16Release Documentation. Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide to Buyer no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (and in any event shall deliver to Buyer no later than the Closing Date) guarantee and/or lien release documentation as may be reasonably necessary to release the Acquired Companies (including the Transferred Assets and the Transferred Interests) as borrowers or guarantors, as applicable, under any existing indebtedness for borrowed money of Seller (including under the Seller Debt Facilities) and to reflect the release and termination of any and all Liens on the assets of the Acquired Companies (including the Transferred Assets and the Transferred Interests) arising under such indebtedness for borrowed money of Seller (collectively, the “Lien and Guarantee Release”). Seller shall apply the proceeds from the sale of the Business in accordance with the terms of the Seller Debt Facilities.

Section 8.17HR Services. Notwithstanding anything in the Transition Services Agreement, Seller shall provide to Buyer prior to Closing the data and information necessary for Buyer to establish all of the human resource services and functions necessary for the Business as of Closing (such services and functions, the “HR Functions”). Buyer shall accept the transfer of such data and establish such HR Functions as of the Closing Date and shall provide all assistance reasonably required by Seller as is necessary for Seller to provide the data and information to permit Buyer to establish the HR Functions on the Closing Date.

Section 8.18VIN Numbers. Within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with the VIN numbers for each of the vehicles set forth on Schedule 2.03(a)(xi).

(a)Effective no later than immediately prior to the Closing, (i) the employment of each Business Employee that is not then already employed by an Acquired Company, shall be transferred to an Acquired Company, and (ii) the employment of each person who is not a Business Employee and who is employed by an Acquired Company shall be transferred from each such Acquired Company to Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than an Acquired Company).

(b)As of the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to, or to cause an Affiliate of Buyer (including an Acquired Company) to, continue to employ as a successor employer all of the current Business Employees (each such employee who continues employment, a “Continuing Employee”). For the avoidance of doubt, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the

Acquired Companies) shall be obligated to continue to employ any Continuing Employee for any specific period of time following the Closing Date, subject to applicable Law.

(c)For a period of at least 12 months following the Closing Date (the “Continuation Period”), Buyer shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of Buyer to, provide each Continuing Employee, while such Continuing Employee is employed by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries, with (i) a base salary or base wage rate, as applicable, and target cash incentive compensation opportunities as a percentage of base salary, if applicable, that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the base salary or wage rate and target cash incentive compensation opportunities provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer, and (ii) employee benefits (excluding severance, defined benefit pension plans, nonqualified deferred compensation programs, retiree medical benefits, transaction-based incentives and equity-based compensation) that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to the employee benefits (excluding severance, defined benefit pension plans, deferred compensation programs, retiree medical benefits, transaction-based incentives and equity-based compensation) provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (without cause, as determined in good faith by Buyer) during the Continuation Period, Buyer shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of Buyer to, provide severance benefits consistent with the severance benefits offered by Buyer and its Affiliates to their similarly situated employees. This section shall not apply to Continuing Employees whose terms and conditions of employment are governed by a collective bargaining agreement.

(d)Effective as of the Closing Date, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement or as required by applicable Law, all Continuing Employees shall cease any participation in, and any benefit accrual under, any Seller Benefit Plan. Seller shall retain all Seller Benefit Plans and all related Liabilities.

(e)For all purposes under the employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements established or maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates providing for vacation and severance benefits in which Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing (the “Buyer Plans”), each Continuing Employee shall be credited with the same amount of service as was credited by Seller and its Affiliates as of the Closing under similar or comparable Employee Benefit Plans, solely for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, and level of benefits; provided that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of any benefit.

(f)As of the Closing Date, (i) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that each Continuing Employee shall immediately be eligible to participate in Buyer Plans, without any waiting time, to the extent coverage under the applicable Buyer Plan replaces coverage under a similar or comparable Employee Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing (such Employee Benefit Plans, the “Previous Benefit Plans”), and (ii) for purposes of each Buyer Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Buyer and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Buyer Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent any such exclusions or requirements were waived or

were inapplicable under any analogous Previous Benefit Plan. Buyer and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Previous Benefit Plan that ends on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding Buyer Plan begins to be taken into account under such Buyer 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 Buyer Plan.

(g)For the Continuation Period, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, continue paid-time off programs for the benefit of Continuing Employees that are at least as favorable as the paid-time off programs made available to similarly situated employees of Buyer. Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, recognize and provide all accrued but unused paid-time off of each such Continuing Employee as of the Closing Date. Neither Seller nor its Affiliates shall have any obligation or Liability to pay or provide any payments in respect of paid-time off for Continuing Employees on or after the Closing Date.

(h)As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, maintain or establish a cafeteria plan that includes a healthcare flexible spending account program and a dependent care flexible spending account program (a “Buyer FSA”) for the benefit of each Continuing Employee who, in the portion of the calendar year on or prior to the Closing Date, contributed to the corresponding Employee Benefit Plan that included a healthcare flexible spending account program and a dependent care flexible spending account program (the “Seller FSA”). As of the Closing Date, Buyer or its Affiliate shall cause the balance of each Continuing Employee’s accounts under the Buyer FSA to be equal to the Continuing Employee’s balance in the applicable healthcare spending account program and dependent care flexible spending account program under the Seller FSA. If the aggregate amount withheld from Continuing Employees’ compensation under the Seller FSA for the plan year in which the Closing occurs (the “Closing Year”) exceeds the aggregate amount of reimbursements paid to Continuing Employees prior to the Closing Date under the Seller FSA for the Closing Year, Seller shall transfer (or cause to be transferred) to Buyer, within 30 days after the Closing Date, a cash payment equal to any such excess. If the aggregate amount of reimbursements paid to Continuing Employees under the Seller FSA prior to the Closing Date for the Closing Year exceeds the aggregate amount withheld prior to the Closing Date from the Continuing Employees’ compensation under the Seller FSA for the Closing Year, Buyer shall transfer to Seller, within 30 days after the Closing Date, a cash payment equal to any such excess. Buyer agrees to cause the Buyer FSA to honor, and continue through the end of the Closing Year, the elections made by Continuing Employees under the Seller FSA in respect of the flexible spending reimbursement accounts that are in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall assume and be solely responsible for all claims for reimbursement by Continuing Employees, whether incurred prior to, on or after the Closing Date, that have not been paid in full as of the Closing Date, which claims shall be paid pursuant to and under the terms of the Buyer FSA.

(i)Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, maintain or establish a defined contribution plan that is tax-qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (a “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) and in which the Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate as of the Closing Date. Buyer shall cause the Buyer 401(k) Plan to accept rollovers elected by each Continuing Employee

from any tax-qualified plan maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates in direct rollovers to the Buyer 401(k) Plan (including rollovers of plan participant loans). Seller and Buyer will cooperate to effect the transfer of any account balance and plan participant loans under any defined contribution tax-qualified plan maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(j)Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to use reasonable best efforts to notify Seller within 30 days after any Continuing Employee listed on Section 9.01(j) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules leaves the employ of Buyer or any of its Affiliates for any reason and Buyer shall respond to any reasonable requests from Seller regarding the employment status of such Continuing Employee listed on Section 9.01(h) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules.

(k)Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to pay to the applicable participants the full amounts of cash incentives with respect to performance periods that have ended prior to the Closing but for which cash incentives have not yet been paid as of the Closing, to the extent such amounts have been accrued as a current liability in Estimated Closing Working Capital.

(l)Seller shall cause any unvested equity awards granted by Seller and held by a Business Employee as of the Closing to vest in full as of the Closing.

(m)Buyer shall be responsible for all Liabilities or obligations under the WARN Act resulting from the Closing or from Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ actions or omissions following the Closing with respect to or involving Continuing Employees. Seller shall be responsible for all Liabilities or obligations under the WARN Act arising out of Seller’s actions or omissions on or before the Closing with respect to or involving the Business Employees.

(n)As of the Closing Date, Buyer will assume, cause its Affiliate to assume, or reimburse Seller for, all Liabilities and obligations relating to compensation and benefits under any state workers’ compensation or similar Law payable following the Closing Date to or with respect to any current or former Continuing Employee who was providing services in support of the Business on the date the claim arose or the incident on which the claim is based occurred. As of the Closing, Buyer will assume all of the Transferred CBAs and all Liabilities relating thereto. Buyer and Seller agree that for ERISA purposes (including with respect to any Covered Multiemployer Plan) Buyer and Seller shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, take any position contrary to the position that the Transactions shall be treated as a sale of stock and not as an asset purchase or asset transfer. Buyer agrees that it is accepting and shall be responsible for all of the Covered Multiemployer Plan contribution history related to the Business (and not just the Multiemployer Plan contribution history for current Business Employees).

(o)The provisions of this Section 9.01 are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Continuing Employee or other current or former employee of Seller, the Acquired Companies or any of their Affiliates), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (including with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 9.01) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 9.01 shall constitute or be deemed to constitute the establishment, adoption or amendment

of any Employee Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program, agreement or other arrangement or limit the right of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to terminate any employee at any time and for any reason.

Section 10.01Liability for Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Agreement, (a) any Tax (including any transfer tax) attributable to the sale or transfer of the Acquired Companies, the Business, the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities shall constitute Split Fees, and (b) Seller shall be liable for any transfer Tax attributable to the Reorganization solely to the extent such transfer Tax would not have otherwise been suffered or incurred if the transactions contemplated hereunder were effectuated pursuant to a sale of assets rather than the Reorganization and sale of Transferred Interests contemplated hereunder. The parties hereto agree to timely sign and deliver such resale and other certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns or other reports with respect to, such Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Tax Authority subsequently rejects any such certificates or forms, Buyer shall be liable for the resulting Tax.

Section 10.02Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each of Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to:

(a)provide the other party any information relating to the Acquired Companies, the Business or the Transferred Assets within its possession that is reasonably necessary for such other party to prepare any Tax Returns relating to the Acquired Companies, the Business or the Transferred Assets which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing;

(b)reasonably cooperate in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with Tax Authorities regarding, any Tax Returns to the extent relating to the Acquired Companies, the Business or the Transferred Assets;

(e)with respect to Buyer and its Affiliates, reasonably cooperate in the preparation and reporting of financial statements or regulatory filings of Seller and its Representatives, including affording or causing to be afforded to Seller and its Representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, to all the personnel, properties, books, Contracts, commitments, Tax Returns, records and financial, operating and other data of the Acquired Companies or of the Business in furtherance of the foregoing; and

(f)timely provide the other powers of attorney or similar authorizations reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Article X.

Section 10.03Contest Provisions. Seller shall represent the Seller Consolidated Group in any federal, state, local or foreign Tax action, suit, investigation, audit, or assessment with respect to Taxes of the Seller Consolidated Group. Upon receipt by Seller or any of its Affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax action, suit, investigation, audits or assessments related to the Acquired Companies, the Business, or the Transferred Assets (a “Business Taxes Audit”), Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing. Seller shall have the right to represent the Seller Consolidated Group’s interests in any Business Taxes Audit, and to employ counsel of Seller’s choice at Seller’s expense; provided, that: (i) Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed and consult with Buyer with respect to any issue relating to such Business Taxes Audit, and (ii) Seller shall not settle any such Business Taxes Audit without the consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). Buyer shall control all federal, state, local or foreign Tax action, suit, investigation, audit, or assessment with respect to Taxes of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies). Upon receipt by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax action, suit, investigation, audits or assessments related to Taxes for which Seller may be liable pursuant to this Agreement (“Indemnified Taxes Audit”), Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing. Buyer shall have the right to represent the Acquired Companies’ interests in any Indemnified Taxes Audit, and to employ counsel of Buyer’s choice at Buyer’s expense; provided, that: (i) Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed and consult with Seller with respect to any issue relating to such Indemnified Taxes Audit, and (ii) Buyer shall not settle any such Indemnified Taxes Audit without the consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

Section 10.04Post-Closing Actions. After the Closing and except as required by applicable Law, Buyer shall not and shall cause or permit the Acquired Companies not to (i) make any amendment of any Tax Returns, (ii) enter into a voluntary disclosure (or similar) agreement, (iii) change any tax election or grant an extension of any statute of limitations, in each case with respect to any Excluded Taxes and without Seller’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 10.05Pro Ration. For purposes of determining the Taxes for any Straddle Period that are attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Post-Closing Tax Periods, respectively, such Taxes shall be allocated based on a closing of the books at the end of the Closing Date, except that Tax items of a periodic nature, such as real and personal ad valorem property Taxes calculated on an annual or periodic basis, shall be allocated by apportioning a pro-rata portion of such Taxes to each day in the relevant Straddle Period. Promptly following the determination of Final Closing Net Working Capital, Buyer shall remit to Seller an amount equal to any such real and personal ad valorem Taxes attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period that were paid by Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) on or prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent any such Taxes were taken into account as an increase in Final Closing Net Working Capital.

Section 12.01Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing:

(b)by either Seller or Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred prior to April 19, 2021 or May 19, 2021, in the event the Debt Financing is not consummated on or prior to February 11, 2021 (the “Outside Date”), or such later date as the parties may mutually agree in writing; provided, however, that (i) if on such date, all conditions set forth in Article XI have been

satisfied or waived (other than (A) the conditions set forth in Sections 11.01(b), 11.01(c), 11.02(b) and 11.02(c), (B) those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing (which conditions are capable of being satisfied) and (C) the conditions in Section 11.01(d), 11.02(e) and 11.02(f), provided they are reasonably capable of being satisfied) then either Seller or Buyer may extend the Outside Date on one occasion for a period of up to 240 days or 210 days, in the event the Debt Financing is not consummated on or prior to February 11, 2021, by delivery of written notice of such extension to the other party not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the initial Outside Date, provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, if a Governmental Order under any Antitrust Law and relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been issued, the issuance of such Governmental Order in and of itself shall not prohibit Seller from extending the Outside Date; (ii) if on the Outside Date, the Marketing Period has commenced but has not yet been completed, then either Seller or Buyer may extend the Outside Date on one occasion until five (5) Business Days after the final date of the Marketing Period; and (iii) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.01(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to take any action required to fulfill any of such party’s obligations under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur prior to such date;

(c)by either Seller or Buyer in the event of the issuance of a final, nonappealable Governmental Order prohibiting the consummation of the sale and purchase of the Transferred Interests; provided, that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.01(c) shall have acted in good faith and performed in all material respects its obligations under this Agreement;

(d)by Buyer in the event there has occurred any breach by Seller of any of Seller’s covenants, representations or warranties contained herein that would result in the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 11.02(a) not being satisfied, and such breach is either not capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date or, if curable, Seller shall have failed to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from Buyer requesting such breach to be cured; provided, however, that Buyer may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.01(d) if Buyer is then in breach of this Agreement in any material respect;

(e)by Seller in the event of a breach by Buyer of any of Buyer’s covenants, representations or warranties contained herein that would result in the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 11.01(a) not being satisfied, and such breach is either not capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date or, if curable, Buyer shall have failed to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from Seller requesting such breach to be cured; provided, however, that Seller may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.01(e) if Seller is then in breach of this Agreement in any material respect; or

(f)by Buyer if Seller shall not have delivered the Audit and the financial information contemplated by Section 8.09(a)(i) on or before March 20, 2021 or April 19, 2021, in the event the Debt Financing is not consummated on or prior to February 11, 2021.

Section 12.03Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 12.01, this Agreement shall thereafter become null and void and there shall be no liability on the part of any party to this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 8.03, this Article XII and Article XIV; provided, that nothing in this Section 12.03 shall relieve either Seller or Buyer from liability for (i) failure to perform its obligations set forth in Section 7.03 or Section 8.09 or (ii) any Intentional Breach of this Agreement; provided further that the Confidentiality Agreement and Equity Commitment Letter shall survive any such termination in accordance with its terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure by Buyer to consummate the Closing when the conditions set forth in Section 11.02 shall have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted, waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which shall be reasonably capable of being satisfied, or those conditions that are not satisfied in whole or in part because of actions by Buyer or any of its Affiliates) shall constitute an Intentional Breach of this Agreement.

Section 12.04Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, each of Seller and Buyer may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument, schedule or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party granting such extension or waiver. Neither the waiver by either of the parties to this Agreement of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by either of the parties to this Agreement, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

Section 13.01Indemnification by Seller. After the Closing and subject to Article X, the other provisions of this Article XIII and Section 14.01, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against all Losses suffered or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party, or to which any Buyer Indemnified Party otherwise becomes subject, as a result of or in connection with:

(a)any breach or failure by Seller to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement;

(c)to the extent in excess of $2,564,187, the amounts paid by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in respect of deductibles under Seller’s general, auto and workers compensation insurance policies for pre-Closing claims made by Business Employee pursuant to Section 8.04 after Closing;

Section 13.02Indemnification by Buyer. After the Closing and subject to Article X, the other provisions of this Article XIII and Section 14.01, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against all Losses suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party, or to which any Seller Indemnified Party otherwise becomes subject, as a result of or in connection with:

(a)any breach or failure by Buyer to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement;

(c)Buyer’s, the Acquired Companies’ or any of their respective Affiliates’ operation of the Business following the Closing.

(a)A Person who may be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless under Section 13.01 or Section 13.02 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party that is potentially liable therefor (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, proceeding or demand by a Third Party that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to such a right under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a Third Party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third-Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand and the specific provision of this Agreement that the Indemnified Party alleges to be breached (or the category of Assumed Liability or Excluded Liability with respect to such claim) and, if reasonably ascertainable, an estimate of the Indemnified Party’s Losses; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article XIII except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure, it being understood that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 14.01 for such covenant or agreement. Following delivery of a notice of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to such Third-Party Claim.

(b)Following receipt of a notice of a Third-Party Claim from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 13.03(a), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense and control of such Third-Party Claim by delivery of written notice to the Indemnified Party by the earlier of (i) twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of the notice of a Third-Party Claim and (ii) the fifth (5th) day preceding the date on which an appearance is required to be made before a court, arbitrator or other tribunal or an answer or similar pleading is required to be filed; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party to the extent the Third-Party Claim (i) is a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation

or investigation against the Indemnified Party (any such fees and expenses paid by the Indemnifying Party shall be considered Losses to which the limitations in this Article XIII apply) and (ii) seeks an injunction or other equitable or non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party (other than injunctive, equitable or non-monetary relief that is incidental to monetary damages as the primary relief sought). The assumption of the defense by the Indemnifying Party of any Third-Party Claim shall not require the Indemnifying Party to agree to be liable for any Losses in respect of such Third-Party Claim and shall be without prejudice to any rights or defenses of the Indemnifying Party in respect of whether the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article XIII for any particular Loss or Losses. Any costs incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending against any claim shall be considered Losses to which the limitations in this Article XIII apply.

(c)The Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such Third-Party Claim prior to the time that it receives a notice from the Indemnifying Party as contemplated by Section 13.03(b). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof (it being understood and agreed that even if the Indemnified Party participates in the defense of such a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense and all decisions with respect thereto). Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third-Party Claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the delivery of a notice of a claim for indemnification, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party shall grant the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the books, records, personnel and properties of the Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to such claim, at no cost to the Indemnifying Party (other than for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Parties). The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall keep each other fully and promptly informed with respect to the status of all Third-Party Claims and shall deliver to each other copies of all material written notices and documents (including court papers) received by the other that relate to any Third-Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim, without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided that (i) such settlement provides only for the payment of monetary damages (and does not impose any injunctive relief or otherwise impose any conditions or restrictions on the applicable Indemnified Party), (ii) the Indemnifying Party pays or causes to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement (subject to the limitations in this Agreement), (iii) the Indemnifying Party obtains, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim and (iv) such settlement or judgment would not have an adverse effect in any material respect on other claims made or threatened against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.

(d)No Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this Article XIII for any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third-Party Claim that is settled or

compromised by an Indemnified Party without the prior consent of such Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e)If an Indemnified Party wishes to make a claim under this Article XIII that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party setting forth (i) a reasonably detailed description of the claim, (ii) a good faith estimate of the amount of the claim (to the extent ascertainable) and (iii) the specific provision of this Agreement that the Indemnified Party alleges to be breached (or the category of Assumed Liability or Excluded Liability into which the Loss fits), and such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all available documentation that may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes of enabling the Indemnifying Party to be informed and to take any and all appropriate decisions and actions in respect of the matter and Loss that is the subject of the claim; provided, that the failure to provide such notice on a timely basis shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article XIII except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure, it being understood that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 14.01 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(f)Buyer acknowledges that the Actions set forth on Schedule 13.03(f) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules include both Assumed Liabilities and Excluded Liabilities. It is agreed that (i) Seller shall control the defense of such Actions and (ii) Buyer shall indemnify Seller for any Losses relating thereto that are Assumed Liabilities.

Section 13.04Payment. In the event an Action under this Article XIII shall have been finally determined, the amount of such final determination shall be paid to the Indemnified Party on demand in immediately available funds. An Action, and the liability for and amount of damages therefor, shall be deemed to be “finally determined” for purposes of this Article XIII when the parties to such Action have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a final nonappealable Governmental Order shall have been entered.

(a)Any liability for indemnification hereunder and under any other Transaction Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the same Loss. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any Buyer Indemnified Party against any Losses reflected in the Closing Adjustment or the Post-Closing Adjustment.

(b)Prior to the Closing, and except with respect to Fraud or Intentional Breach, the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered hereunder shall be refusal to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements and termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.01.

(c)Following the Closing, and except with respect to Fraud or Intentional Breach, breaches or non-performance of provisions in this Agreement for which the remedy of specific performance is available pursuant to Section 14.14, the indemnification provisions of

Article XIII and, with respect to Taxes, Article X, shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Seller and Buyer, respectively, for any breach of the representations or warranties in this Agreement and for any failure to perform or comply with any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Buyer, on behalf of itself and each other Buyer Indemnified Party, and Seller, on behalf of itself and each other Seller Indemnified Party, hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives and Buyer or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, as the case may be, arising under or based upon this Agreement, any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith (whether under this Agreement or arising under common Law or any other applicable Law), except pursuant to: (i) the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XIII or (ii) as provided under (A) the provisions of Section 2.06, (B) the provisions of Article X, (C) the provisions hereof providing for equitable remedies or (D) the provisions of any other Transaction Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither party shall not be entitled to receive any indemnification from the other party (or to make any claim against any party for indemnification) relating to, arising out of or in connection with any breach by a party of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement.

(a)With respect to each indemnification obligation in this Agreement (i) each such obligation shall be calculated on an After-Tax Basis, (ii) all Losses shall be net of any Eligible Insurance Proceeds and (iii) Losses shall not be calculated by using multiples or any valuation methodologies or similar measures used in arriving at, or that may be reflective of, the Base Purchase Price.

(b)In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from a third Person any amount in respect of any Loss paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XIII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of reasonable costs incurred by it in procuring such recovery, which costs shall not exceed the amount so recovered), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnifying Party in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such Loss.

(c)If any portion of Losses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XIII could be recovered from a Third Party not affiliated with the relevant Indemnified Party based on the underlying claim or demand asserted against such Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party and, upon the request of the Indemnifying Party, shall use reasonable best efforts to collect the maximum amount recoverable from such Third Party, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such collection (which costs and expenses of collection shall not exceed the amount recoverable from such Third Party). If any portion of Losses actually paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XIII could have been recovered from a Third Party not affiliated with the relevant Indemnified Party based on the underlying claim or demand asserted against such Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall transfer, to the extent transferable, such of its rights to

proceed against such Third Party as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from such Third Party any amount actually paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XIII.

(d)The parties shall treat any indemnification payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Base Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and the Parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly.

(e)If any portion of Losses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XIII may be covered, in whole or in part, by third-party insurance coverage, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall use reasonable best efforts to collect the maximum amount of insurance proceeds thereunder, and all such proceeds actually collected in respect of any Loss (net of (i) the amount of reasonable costs incurred by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in collecting such proceeds and (ii) the present value of any increased costs incurred by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates as a result of such Loss, including any retroactive or prospective premium adjustments resulting from such Loss) shall be considered “Eligible Insurance Proceeds.”

Section 13.07Mitigation. Each of the parties to this Agreement shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates and Representatives to, use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any fact, event, circumstance or condition that has given rise to, or would reasonably be expected to give rise to, any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder. In the event any Indemnified Party shall fail to so take such commercially reasonable efforts, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the applicable Indemnifying Party shall not be required to indemnify such Indemnified Party for any Loss to the extent that such Loss would reasonably be expected to have been avoided if such Indemnified Party had used such efforts.

Section 14.01Survival. Except in the event of Fraud, the representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate at the Closing and no claims shall be made against either party for any breach thereof at or after the Closing. The covenants and agreements that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing Date shall survive the Closing and remain in effect for the period provided in such covenants and agreements, if any, or if later, until fully performed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each party hereto shall retain all rights and remedies in respect of Fraud, and nothing herein shall preclude any party hereto from commencing an Action or asserting claims related to Fraud.

Section 14.02Expenses. Except for Split Fees or as may be otherwise specified in the Transaction Agreements, all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisers and independent accountants, incurred in connection with the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements shall be paid by the Person incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred or this Agreement is terminated.

Section 14.03Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands and other communications under the Transaction Agreements shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by overnight courier service, by email with receipt confirmed or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 14.03):

Section 14.04Public Announcements. No party to this Agreement or any Affiliate or Representative of such party shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or public announcement or otherwise communicate with any news media in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by Law or applicable securities exchange rules, in which the case the party required to publish such press release or public announcement shall allow the other parties a reasonable opportunity to comment on such press release or public announcement in advance of such publication. Prior to the Closing, neither of the parties to this Agreement, nor any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, shall make any public disclosure concerning plans or intentions relating to the customers, agents or employees of, or other Persons with significant business relationships with, the Business or the Acquired Companies without first obtaining the prior written approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 14.05Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement 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 transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 14.06Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Transaction Agreements, the Transaction Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of the Transaction Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral (other than the Confidentiality Agreement to the extent not in conflict with this Agreement), between or on behalf of Seller and/or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer and/or its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter of the Transaction Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter.

Section 14.07Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 14.07 shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Seller may assign this Agreement in connection with any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Seller and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or in connection with any merger or consolidation involving Seller and (ii) Buyer may assign this Agreement to any Affiliate of Buyer or Sponsor, provided that no

such assignment by Buyer (A) shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement and (B) shall be made if doing so would delay, prevent or otherwise impair the Closing. This Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.

Section 14.08No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 8.10 with respect to the directors, officers and managers of the Acquired Companies and Article XIII with respect to the Seller Indemnified Parties and Buyer Indemnified Parties, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations between the parties to this Agreement and are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement. Any inaccuracies in or breaches of such representations or warranties are subject to waiver by the parties to this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement without notice or Liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any party hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

Section 14.09Amendment. No provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified except by a written instrument signed by all the parties to such agreement. No consent from any Indemnified Party under Article X (other than the parties to this Agreement) shall be required in order to amend this Agreement.

Section 14.10Schedules. Any disclosure set forth or deemed to be set forth in the Seller Disclosure Schedule with respect to any Section of this Agreement shall be deemed to be disclosed for purposes of other Sections of this Agreement to the extent that such disclosure sets forth facts in sufficient detail so that the relevance of such disclosure would be reasonably apparent on its face to a reader of such disclosure that such information applies to such other section. Matters reflected in any Section of the Seller Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be so reflected. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in the Seller Disclosure Schedule shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no such reference to or disclosure of a possible breach or violation of any contract, Law or Governmental Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

(a)Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits for itself and its property in any Action arising out of or relating to the Transaction Agreements, the

transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, the formation, breach, termination or validity of the Transaction Agreements or the recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of the Transaction Agreement, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery in and for New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that such Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Action, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such United States District Court also does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Action, any Delaware State court sitting in New Castle County, and appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from any of the foregoing.

(b)Any such Action may and shall be brought in such courts and each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction of any such Action in any such court or that such Action was brought in an inconvenient court and shall not plead or claim the same.

(c)Service of process in any Action may be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address as provided in Section 14.03.

(d)Nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the Laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 14.12Governing Law. This Agreement, and the formation, termination or validity of any part of this Agreement, shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would result in the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 14.13Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS, OR ITS PERFORMANCE UNDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER IN THIS SECTION 14.13. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS

PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY, AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 14.14Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or cure any breach by the other party of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement and to specifically enforce such covenants and obligations in any court referenced in Section 14.11(a) having jurisdiction, such remedy being in addition to any other remedy to which any party may be entitled at law or in equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event that the other party seeks an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the party seeking an injunction will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. Each of the parties hereto hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each party hereto hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by any other party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds.

Section 14.15Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, in writing at any time by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized Representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach.

Section 14.19Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto. Other than in accordance with the Equity Commitment Letter, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, equityholder, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, Representative or assignee of, or any financial advisor or lender to, either party or any of its respective Affiliates shall have any liability for any Liabilities of Buyer under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except with respect to Fraud.

(a)Recognizing that Sidley Austin LLP and Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP (collectively, “Counsel”) have acted as legal counsel to Seller and the Acquired Companies (collectively, the “Clients”) for various matters prior to Closing, including in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Engagements”), and in that connection not as counsel for any other Person, including Buyer or its Affiliates, only the Clients shall be considered clients of Counsel for purposes of the Pre-Closing Engagements. If Seller or its applicable Affiliate so desires, and without the need for any consent or waiver by Buyer or the Acquired Companies, Counsel shall be permitted to represent Seller after the Closing in connection with any matter, including anything related to the transactions contemplated hereby or any disagreement or dispute in connection therewith or any other matter relating to a Pre-Closing Engagement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, Counsel shall be permitted to represent Seller and any of its Affiliates or Representatives, in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (where “dispute” includes litigation, arbitration or other adversarial proceedings) with Buyer, the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives relating to any Pre-Closing Engagements, including indemnification claims or any other matter related to this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies after the Closing, hereby consents to the disclosure to Seller and its Affiliates and Representatives by Counsel of any information learned by Counsel in the course of its representation of the Clients, whether or not such information is subject to the attorney-client privilege or Counsel’s duty of confidentiality and whether such disclosure is made before or after the Closing.

(b)Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies after the Closing), further agrees that all communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among Counsel, Seller or the Acquired Companies, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, that relate in any way to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any dispute arising under this Agreement (collectively, the “Deal Communications”) shall be deemed to be retained and owned by Seller, shall be controlled by Seller and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Acquired Companies, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, and none of the Acquired Companies, Buyer or any of its respective Affiliates shall have access to any such Deal Communications, or to the files of Counsel relating thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies after the Closing), further agrees that (i) none of Buyer, the Acquired Companies, or any of their respective Affiliates shall use or rely on any of the Deal Communications in connection with any Action against or involving any of the parties hereto after the Closing and (ii) Seller and any of its Affiliates (excluding the Acquired Companies after the Closing) may use and rely on any of the Deal Communications in connection with any Action against or involving any of the parties hereto after the Closing. Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies after the Closing), irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any right it may have to discover or obtain information or documentation relating to the representation of the Clients by Counsel relating to any Deal Communications or any other matter related to this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notwithstanding that the Acquired Companies may be a client in the Pre-Closing

Engagements, from and after the Closing, (i) Seller shall be the sole holder of the attorney-client privilege with respect to Deal Communications that are attorney-client privileged (the “Privileged Deal Communications”) and the expectation of client confidence relating to any Deal Communications, and none of Buyer, the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Counsel in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would constitute property of the Clients, only Seller shall hold such property rights, and (iii) Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any Deal Communications or such files to Buyer, the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Counsel and the Acquired Companies or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Acquired Companies, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates intentionally or inadvertently come into possession of Privileged Deal Communications and in the event that a dispute arises between the Acquired Companies, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and a Third Party other than Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, the Acquired Companies, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Deal Communications to such Third Party; provided, however, none of Buyer, the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller. In the event that Buyer, the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates are legally required by a Governmental Authority or applicable Law or otherwise to access, obtain or disclose a copy of all or a portion of the Deal Communications, Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to immediately (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days of becoming aware of such legal requirement) notify Seller in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section 14.20) so that Seller can seek a protective order and Buyer shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies and its and their respective Affiliates to, use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist therewith.

(c)Seller on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing) and Buyer on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies after the Closing) (i) hereby consent to the foregoing arrangements and waive (and agree to cause their respective Affiliates to consent to the foregoing arrangements and to waive) any actual or potential conflict of interest that may be involved in connection with any representation by Counsel permitted hereunder. Buyer shall not seek or having, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies after the Closing) to refrain from seeking or having, Counsel disqualified from any such representation based on the prior representation of the Acquired Companies by Counsel.

Section 14.21Bulk Sales Laws. Buyer and Seller each hereby waive compliance by Seller or any of its Affiliates with the provisions of the “bulk sales”, “bulk transfer” or similar Laws of any state or any jurisdiction outside the United States that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any of the Transferred Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 14.21 shall not alter or relieve Seller of any of its obligations pursuant to Section 13.01.

Section 14.22Time is of the Essence. With respect to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of Seller and Buyer has caused this Agreement to be executed on the date first written above by its duly authorized officer.
