Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller or any of its Affiliates in respect of all Liabilities of Seller or its Affiliates in respect of any such arrangement, continuing operations and underlying lease, license, Contract, agreement or right.

(c) Buyer acknowledges that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to the Real Property Leases, Equipment Leases, Permits, Assumed Contracts, Contracts or rights and that such consents may not be obtained. Except with respect to claims for breaches of representations and warranties under Article III, Buyer agrees that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any Liability whatsoever arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents that may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default under, or acceleration or termination of, any Real Property Lease, Equipment Lease, Permit, Assumed Contract, Contract or right, as a result thereof.

SECTION 2.10 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event, within ninety (90) days thereof, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth with reasonable supporting detail the calculation of (i) the aggregate amount of Cash of the Sold Companies (the “Closing Date Cash”), (ii) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of the Sold Companies (the “Closing Date Indebtedness”), (iii) the aggregate amount of Transaction Expenses, if any (the “Closing Transaction Expenses”) and (iv) Net Working Capital (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital”), in each case, calculated as of the Effective Time in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles without giving effect to the Transactions (other than the Pre-Closing Transfers).

(b) After receipt of the Closing Statement from Buyer, Seller shall have forty- five (45) days to review the Closing Statement (the “Review Period”) and notify Buyer in writing prior to the expiration of the Review Period of any dispute or objection thereto (such written notice, the “Objection”). If Seller has not notified Buyer of an Objection within the Review Period then the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the parties and shall become final, binding and conclusive. Seller and Buyer shall, within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as Seller and Buyer may agree in writing) following delivery of an Objection to Buyer (the “Resolution Period”), attempt in good faith to resolve their differences, all such discussions and communications related thereto shall (unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive. Any items agreed to by Seller and Buyer in writing, together with any items not disputed or objected to by Seller in the Objection, are collectively referred to herein as the “Resolved Matters”.

(c) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Sold Companies to (i) assist Seller and Representatives of Seller in their review of, and provide Seller and Representatives of Seller with reasonable access upon reasonable notice during normal business hours to, the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), supporting data, facilities, employees and auditors and other applicable agents of the Sold Companies for purposes of reviewing the Closing Statement, and (ii) cooperate fully with Seller and its Representatives in connection with such review, including providing on a timely basis all other information and copies of records or other documents necessary or useful in connection with the review of the Closing Statement as is requested by Seller and its Representatives.

(d) If at the end of the Resolution Period Seller and Buyer have been unable to resolve all differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Objection, Seller and Buyer shall refer all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Objection (the “Unresolved Matters”) to Grant Thornton LLP (or if such firm is unable or unwilling to accept such engagement, an internationally recognized independent public accounting firm that has not provided material services to either Seller or Buyer or their respective Affiliates in the preceding three (3) years as jointly selected by Seller and Buyer or, if Seller and Buyer are unable to agree within five (5) Business Days from the end of the Resolution Period, then such internationally recognized independent public accounting firm jointly selected by Seller’s and Buyer’s independent accountants within five (5) Business Days thereafter) (such firm, as finally selected, the “Accounting Firm”). Seller and Buyer each agree to promptly sign an engagement letter, in commercially reasonable form, as may reasonably be required by the Accounting Firm. Each of Buyer and Seller shall submit to the Accounting Firm (with a copy delivered to the other party on the same day), within ten (10) Business Days after the date of the engagement of the Accounting Firm, a memorandum (a “Submission”) (which may include supporting exhibits) setting forth their respective positions with respect to the Unresolved Matters. Each of Buyer and Seller may (but shall not be required to) submit to the Accounting Firm (with a copy delivered to the other party on the same day), within twenty (20) Business Days after the date of the engagement of the Accounting Firm, a memorandum responding to Submission submitted to the Accounting Firm by the other party. Unless requested by the Accounting Firm in writing, no party hereto may present any additional information or arguments to the Accounting Firm, either orally or in writing. None of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Accounting Firm regarding the subject matter hereof without the other party’s prior written consent. The Accounting Firm shall be given reasonable access to all relevant records of the Business to calculate the Closing Statement. The Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to calculate, based solely on the Submissions of Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, and only with respect to the Unresolved Matters submitted and without independent investigation, whether and to what extent the Closing Statement requires adjustments and shall be instructed that its calculation (A) must be made in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Agreed Accounting Principles, without regard to principles of equity, and (B) with respect to each Unresolved Matter, must be within the range of values established for such amount as determined by reference to the value assigned to such amount in the Submissions of Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand. Seller and Buyer shall request the Accounting Firm to (i) submit its final written determination to Seller and Buyer as soon as practicable, but in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after the Accounting Firm’s engagement, and (ii) prepare the Final Closing Statement (which shall be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Accounting Firm of the Unresolved Matters) and calculate the Final Purchase Price based on such Final Closing Statement. The Accounting Firm’s final written determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller and Buyer, absent manifest error. The “Final Closing Statement” shall be (i) in the event that no Objection is delivered by Seller to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 2.10(a), (ii) in the event that an Objection is delivered by Seller to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 2.10(a) as adjusted pursuant to the agreement of Seller and Buyer in writing or (iii) in the event that an Objection is delivered by Seller to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period and Seller and Buyer are unable to agree on all matters set forth in such Objection, the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 2.10(a) as adjusted by the Accounting Firm to be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Accounting Firm of the Unresolved Matters in accordance with this Section 2.10(d). In the event the Final Closing Statement is determined (x) pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer shall prepare the Final Closing Statement and calculate the Final Purchase Price, in each case, in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and deliver such items to Seller within three (3) Business Days following the determination thereof or (y) pursuant to clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Accounting Firm shall prepare the Final Closing Statement (which shall be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Accounting Firm of the Unresolved Matters) and calculate the Final Purchase Price based on the Final Closing Statement, in each case, in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and deliver such items to Seller and Buyer within three (3) Business Days following the delivery of the final written determination of the Accounting Firm to Seller and Buyer. The date on which the Final Closing Statement is finally determined and delivered in accordance with this Section 2.10(d) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date”.

(e) Buyer and Seller agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 2.10 for resolving disputes with respect to the calculation of Closing Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided that this provision shall not prohibit any party from instituting litigation to enforce any decision pursuant to the terms hereof by the Accounting Firm in any court of competent jurisdiction. The substance of the Accounting Firm’s determination shall not be subject to review or appeal, absent manifest error. It is the intent of the parties to have any determination of Unresolved Matters by the Accounting Firm proceed in an expeditious manner; provided, however, any deadline or time period contained herein may be extended or modified by agreement of the parties, and the parties agree that the failure of the Accounting Firm to strictly conform to any deadline or time period contained herein shall not be a basis for seeking to overturn any determination rendered by the Accounting Firm. Any fees and expenses relating to the engagement of the Accounting Firm in respect of its services pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be shared by Seller and Buyer so that Seller’s share of such fees and expenses shall be in the same proportion that the aggregate amount that is unsuccessfully disputed by Seller bears to the total amount initially disputed by Seller.

(f) The “Final Purchase Price” shall mean the Enterprise Value, plus:

(i) the lesser of (x) $5,000,000 and (y) Closing Date Cash as set forth in the Final Closing Statement; minus

(ii) the Closing Date Indebtedness as set forth in the Final Closing Statement; minus

(iii) the Closing Transaction Expenses; plus

(iv) the amount by which, if any, the Closing Date Net Working Capital (as set forth in the Final Closing Statement) is greater than the Target Net Working Capital; provided, that no adjustment shall be included in calculating the Final Purchase Price pursuant to this clause (v) if the Closing Date Net Working Capital exceeds the Target Net Working Capital by less than $1,000,000; minus

(v) the amount by which, if any, the Closing Date Net Working Capital (as set forth in the Final Closing Statement) is less than the Target Net Working Capital; provided, that no adjustment shall be included in calculating the Final Purchase Price pursuant to this clause (v) if the Target Net Working Capital exceeds the Closing Date Net Working Capital by less than $1,000,000.

If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Initial Purchase Price, then Buyer shall pay Seller (to one or more accounts designated by Seller) within two (2) Business Days of the Determination Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars, free and clear of any withholdings or other deductions, an amount in cash equal to the sum of such difference between the Final Purchase Price and the Initial Purchase Price. If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Initial Purchase Price, then Seller shall pay Buyer (to such account designated by Buyer) within two (2) Business Days of the Determination Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in dollars, free and clear of any withholdings or other deductions, an amount in cash equal to the sum of the absolute value of such difference between the Final Purchase Price and the Initial Purchase Price.

SECTION 2.11 Withholding Rights. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article II such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payments under any tax Laws. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be promptly paid over to the relevant Taxing Authority and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to making any such deduction or withholding, Buyer shall provide Seller with reasonable advance notice (and not, in any event, less than ten (10) Business Days’ notice), and, to the extent permitted by Law, permit Seller an opportunity to provide Buyer or the Sold Companies with certificates or other appropriate documentation to reduce or eliminate the need for such deduction or withholding.

SECTION 2.12 Allocation of Purchase Price. The parties agree to allocate the Purchase Price (and any other amounts treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes) in accordance with the rules under Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Within thirty (30) calendar days after the Determination Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a draft Purchase Price Allocation. If within sixty (60) days after Seller’s receipt of the draft Purchase Price Allocation Seller has not objected in writing to such draft Purchase Price Allocation, it shall become final. In the event that Seller objects in writing within such sixty- (60-) day period, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. Any issues with respect to the Purchase Price Allocation which have not been finally resolved within sixty (60) days following the Determination Date shall be referred to the Accounting Firm, whose determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. To the extent the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.10, the parties shall amend the Purchase Price Allocation to reflect such adjustments. Buyer and Seller shall file their Tax Returns (and IRS Form 8594, if applicable) on the basis of such Purchase Price Allocation, as it may be amended pursuant to this Agreement, and neither party shall thereafter take a Tax Return position or any other position for applicable Tax purposes that is inconsistent with such Purchase Price Allocation unless otherwise required pursuant to a final “determination” as defined in Section 1313 of the Code.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT AND SELLER

Except as set forth in the corresponding sections of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (whether or not the representations and warranties in this Article III expressly refer to such schedule), each of Parent and Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows:

Parent and its Subsidiaries have all requisite power and authority to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold the Purchased Assets owned, leased or otherwise held by any of them and to conduct the Business as presently conducted by it. Seller has made available to Buyer true, correct and complete copies of the certificate of formation and operating agreement (or other equivalent limited liability company agreement) of each Sold Company, in each case, as amended and in effect on the date hereof.

SECTION 3.2 Authorization, Enforceability. Each of Parent and Seller has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. Each of Parent and Seller has the power and authority to execute and deliver each Closing Agreement to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each of Parent and Seller of this Agreement and each Closing Agreement to which it is a party, the performance by Parent and Seller of their obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by Parent and Seller of the Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Parent and Seller. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Seller, and each of Parent and Seller shall duly execute and deliver each Closing Agreement to which it is a party and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, this Agreement constitutes, and each Closing Agreement shall constitute, a valid and binding agreement of each of Parent and Seller, enforceable against Parent and Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) (the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

SECTION 3.3 Capital Stock or Other Equity Interests of the Sold Companies. Set forth on Section 3.3 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule is (i) the jurisdiction of formation and (ii) the number of authorized, issued and outstanding shares or other equity securities of each Sold Company as of the date hereof and, except as set forth on Section 3.3 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, there are no other authorized, issued or outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the Sold Companies. Except as set forth on Section 3.3 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, all of the issued and outstanding Sold Interests are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and are owned of record free and clear of any Encumbrances. Seller has good and valid title to all of the Sold Interests. Except as set forth on Section 3.3 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding options, warrants, calls, rights or any other agreements affecting the sale, issuance or voting of any shares of the capital stock of any of the Sold Companies, or any securities or other instruments convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to purchase any shares of capital stock of any of the Sold Companies. Other than as set forth on Section 3.3 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, there are no voting trusts, shareholder agreements, proxies or other similar Contracts in effect to which Parent or Seller (with respect to the Business) or any Sold Company is a party, or by which Parent or Seller (with respect to the Business) or any Sold Company is bound, in each case, with respect to the governance of the Business or the registration, voting or transfer of any Sold Interests. There will not be any liability for, nor obligation with respect to, any dividends or distributions declared or accumulated but unpaid with respect to any equity interests of any Sold Company immediately following the Closing (other than dividends or distributions payable by a Sold Company to another Sold Company). The copies of the minute books of each Sold Company made available to Buyer contain records of all material meetings and reflect all other material limited liability company action of the equityholders and board of managers, as applicable, of each Sold Company that occurred prior to the date hereof, and such copies are correct and complete in all material respects.

SECTION 3.4 Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, no Sold Companies have any Subsidiaries or own any Investments, except as set forth on Section 3.4 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

SECTION 3.5 Financial Statements.

(a) Set forth on Section 3.5(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule are the audited combined balance sheets of the Business together with all notes and schedules thereto as at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and the related combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in net parent company investment of the Business for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements have been prepared from the books and records of the Business and in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis (except as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto). The Financial Statements present fairly in all material respects the combined financial position and results of operations of the Business at the dates and for the periods indicated.

(b) Each Sold Company has established and maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

(c) Section 3.5(a) is qualified by the fact that the Business has not operated as separate “stand-alone” entity within Seller, including with respect to Tax matters. As a result, Seller has, in good faith, allocated to the Business certain charges and credits for purposes of the preparation of the Financial Statements. Such allocations of charges and credits do not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted from arms-length transactions or the actual costs that would be incurred if the Business operated as a “stand-alone” entity. The allocation of charges and credits contained in the Financial Statements and set forth on Section 3.5(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule were made on a consistent basis in each period and are a reasonable reflection of the utilization of the services received from Seller by, or the benefits provided to, the Business for the period indicated therein.

(d) Attached as Schedule 3.5(d) are the unaudited consolidating balance sheet, revenues and earnings before interest and taxes of the Business at and for the quarter ended March 30, 2018. Such information was derived from the books and records of the Business, has been prepared in good faith and fairly presents in all material respects the unaudited consolidating balance sheet, revenues and earnings before interest and taxes of the Business at March 30, 2018 and for the quarter then ended, in conformity with accounting methods consistently applied for the period covered thereby.

SECTION 3.8 Compliance with Law; Permits. Except as set forth on Section 3.8 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, Parent, Seller and the Sold Companies are currently and since January 1, 2015 have been in compliance with the Orders and Laws applicable to them and their respective properties relating to the conduct of the Business or to which the properties (real or personal) and assets included in the Purchased Assets or owned by the Sold Companies are bound or affected, except where the failure to be in such compliance would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to materially and adversely affect the Business. To the Knowledge of Seller, none of Parent, Seller, their respective Subsidiaries or any of the Sold Companies has been under investigation by any Governmental Authority with respect to any actual or alleged violation of any Laws or Orders at any time since January 1, 2015 relating to the conduct of the Business or to which the properties (real or personal) and assets included in the Purchased Assets or owned by the Sold Companies are bound or affected.

There are no Proceedings or investigations by any Governmental Authority pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened against Parent, Seller or their respective Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates that challenge, or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing, materially delaying, making illegal or otherwise materially interfering with, the ability of Seller to consummate the Transactions.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

Except as set forth in the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Seller as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows:

SECTION 4.1 Organization. Buyer is a limited liability company duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization. Buyer has all requisite power and authority to own its assets and carry on its business as now being conducted and is duly qualified or licensed to do business in the jurisdictions in which the ownership of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not be material to the business of Buyer.

SECTION 4.2 Authorization, Enforceability. Buyer has the corporate or other power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each Closing Agreement to which it is a party and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery by Buyer of this Agreement and each Closing Agreement to which it is a party, the performance by Buyer of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation by Buyer of the Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on the part of Buyer. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Buyer, and Buyer shall duly execute and deliver each Closing Agreement to which it is a party and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each other party thereto, this Agreement constitutes, and each Closing Agreement shall constitute, a valid and binding agreement of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

SECTION 4.3 No Approvals or Conflicts; Governmental Authorizations. Except as set forth in Section 4.3 of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and the Closing Agreements and the consummation by Buyer of the Transactions do not and will not (i) violate or conflict with its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or equivalent organizational documents, (ii) violate, conflict with or result in a material breach of, or constitute a default by Buyer (or create an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under any Contract to which Buyer or any of its properties may be bound, (iii) violate or result in a material breach of any Order or Law applicable to Buyer or any of its properties or (iv) except for applicable requirements of the HSR Act and other Antitrust Laws, require any Consent of any Governmental Authority.

SECTION 4.4 Litigation. There are no Proceedings or investigations by any Governmental Authority pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened against Buyer or any of its Affiliates that challenge, or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing, delaying, making illegal, or otherwise interfering with, the ability of Buyer to consummate the Transactions and each Closing Agreement to which it is a party. None of Buyer or any of its Affiliates is subject to any Order that challenges, or may have the effect of preventing, materially delaying, making illegal, or otherwise materially interfering with, the ability of Buyer to consummate the Transactions and each Closing Agreement to which it is a party.

SECTION 4.5 Compliance with Law. Neither Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any Order or Law applicable to them or any of their respective properties, except for violations the existence of which would not reasonably be expected to impair or materially delay the ability of Buyer to consummate the Transactions.

SECTION 4.6 Financial Resources. Buyer has delivered to Seller: (a) a true, accurate and complete copy of an executed commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof (the “Equity Commitment Letter”), under which one or more Affiliates of the Guarantor has committed to provide to Buyer equity financing in an aggregate amount of $220,000,000, subject solely to the terms and conditions set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”); and (b) a true, accurate and complete copy of an executed commitment letter, including all exhibits, schedules and annexes thereto, dated as of the date hereof, from the Debt Financing Sources parties thereto (the “Debt Commitment Letter” and, together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Commitment Letters”), under which such Debt Financing Sources have committed to provide debt financing to Buyer in the amounts set forth therein (the “Debt Financing”) and, together with the Equity Financing (the “Financing”), subject solely to the terms and conditions set forth therein. Buyer has also delivered to Seller a true, accurate and complete copy of each fee letter related to the Debt Financing as in effect on the date hereof (the “Fee Letter”) (provided, however, that the fee amounts, pricing caps and other economic terms, and the “market flex” provisions may be customarily redacted, none of which redacted provisions would adversely affect the conditionality, availability, aggregate principal amount or termination of the Debt Financing). The only condition precedent to the obligations of the parties under the Commitment Letters is the satisfaction or the waiver of the conditions set forth in the applicable Commitment Letter. As of the date hereof, each Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and has not been withdrawn, rescinded, terminated or otherwise amended or modified in any respect (except for any increases in the amount of funds available thereunder or the addition of Debt Financing Sources or other relevant entities who did not execute such Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement) and no such amendment or modification is contemplated except as permitted by this Agreement. As of the date hereof, each Commitment Letter is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer and (in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter, to the actual knowledge of Buyer’s officers) the other parties thereto except as limited by the Enforceability Exceptions. The Equity Commitment Letter expressly provides, and shall continue to expressly provide, that Seller is an intended third party beneficiary thereof for the purposes set forth therein. There are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements relating to the Commitment Letters that would reasonably be expected to affect the availability, the amount or conditionality of the Financing or would reasonably be expected to delay the Closing. As of the date hereof, assuming the truth and accuracy of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of Buyer or, to the actual knowledge of Buyer’s officers, any other parties thereto under any term or condition of the Commitment Letters or a failure of any condition to the Financing or otherwise result in any portion of the Financing being unavailable on the Closing Date. The proceeds from the Financing, together with other amounts available to Buyer, are sufficient to pay all amounts required to be paid by Buyer at the Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and to pay all of its fees and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Financing). Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII on the Closing Date, as of the date hereof, Buyer has no reason to believe that the conditions to the Financing shall not be satisfied or that the full amount of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters shall not be available as of the Closing. Buyer has fully paid all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Commitment Letters that are payable on or prior to the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including without limitation this Section 4.6, Section 5.28 and Section 5.29, in no event shall the receipt by, or the availability of any funds or financing to, Buyer or any of its Affiliates or any other financing be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder. The Debt Commitment Letter does not contain any material misrepresentation by Buyer or any of its Affiliates. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Buyer under any term or condition of the Debt Commitment Letter, or otherwise result in any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated thereby to be unavailable. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies (x) related to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing or any provisions that could reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or the aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter or (y) that could otherwise adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability or availability of the Debt Commitment Letter with respect to all or any portion of the Debt Financing, other than as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter in the form so delivered to Seller.

SECTION 4.7 No Brokers’ or Other Fees. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any fee or commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

SECTION 4.8 No Foreign Person. The Transactions do not constitute a covered transaction subject to a national security review, national security investigation, or action by the President as prescribed in Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 50 U.S.C. App. 2170, as amended by the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007. Further, except as set forth on Section 4.8 of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, neither Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates or parents, nor any shareholder of or other investor in any of Buyer or its Affiliates, is a foreign person or controlled or influenced by a foreign person such that the Transactions would result in foreign ownership, control, or influence of the Sold Companies as defined in Chapter 2, Section 3 of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual, DoD 5220.22-M (“NISPOM”) or which would require the Sold Companies to answer in the affirmative Questions 1, 4, or 10 of the Certificate Pertaining to Foreign Interests (SF-328) as described in the NISPOM.

SECTION 4.9 Purchase for Investment. Buyer is purchasing the Sold Interests for its own account and solely for investment, with no intention to sell, transfer or distribute any Sold Interests to any other Person. Buyer, either alone or together with its advisors, has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Sold Interests, and Buyer is capable of bearing the economic risks of such investment and can afford to lose its entire investment in the Sold Interests. Buyer acknowledges that it is informed as to the risks of the Transactions and of ownership of the Sold Interests. Buyer acknowledge that none of the Sold Interests are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or under any state or foreign securities laws, and Buyer will not sell, transfer or distribute any Sold Interests except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other applicable securities Law.

SECTION 4.10 Investigation. Buyer acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to conduct an independent investigation and verification of the current condition and affairs of the Sold Companies, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Business. Buyer acknowledges that it and its advisors have been given the opportunity to examine records and other information with respect to the Sold Companies, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Business, including the opportunity to ask questions of the officers and management employees of the Business, and in making the decision to enter into this Agreement and the Closing Agreements and to consummate the Transactions, other than reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of Seller set forth in Article III of this Agreement and the Closing Agreements, has relied solely on its own independent investigation.

SECTION 4.11 Buyer Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Guarantor has duly executed and delivered to Parent and Seller the Buyer Guarantee, dated as of the date of this Agreement, in favor of Parent and Seller in respect of certain of Buyer’s obligations arising under this Agreement. As of the date hereof, the Buyer Guarantee is in full force and effect and is the legal, valid, binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions, and, as of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of the Guarantor under the Buyer Guarantee.

SECTION 4.12 No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Article IV, neither Buyer nor any other Person makes any other express or implied representation or warranty to Seller. Except as set forth in Article III and in the Closing Agreements, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates make or provide any warranty or representation, express or implied, as to the quality, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose of the Sold Companies or the Business or any assets or parts thereof.

All other regulatory filings shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of applicable Law. Each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Parent and Seller, on the other hand, shall furnish to the other party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other party may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act, the applicable Other Competition Laws or other applicable Law, as the case may be. Each of Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall use reasonable best efforts to comply promptly with any inquiries or requests for additional information from the FTC, the DOJ, other Governmental Antitrust Authorities and any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the undertakings set forth in Sections 5.3(a), (b) and (d) and subject to any appropriate confidentiality protections, Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with this Section 5.3 and shall each promptly provide counsel for the other party with copies of all filings made by such party, and all correspondence between such party (and its advisors) with any Governmental Antitrust Authority, other Governmental Authority or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, and any other information supplied by such party and such party’s Affiliates to a Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions. Subject to applicable Law, Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each permit counsel for the other party reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and shall consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed written or, if practicable, oral communication to any Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions. Each of Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, agrees not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, to take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions, including the disposition of assets, required by any Governmental Antitrust Authority as a condition to the granting of any Consent necessary for the consummation of the Transactions or as may be required to avoid, lift, vacate, reverse or resolve any legislative, administrative or judicial action (including any suit instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by the FTC, the DOJ or any other applicable Governmental Authority or any private party challenging any of the Transactions as violative of the Antitrust Laws) that would otherwise reasonably be expected to impair or delay the consummation of the Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such actions include, but are not limited to: (i) divesting, selling or otherwise disposing of, or holding separate and agreeing to sell or otherwise dispose of, any entities, assets or facilities of the Sold Companies or included in the Purchased Assets or any entity, facility or asset of Buyer or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (ii) terminating, amending or assigning any existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations, and (iii) amending, assigning or terminating any existing licenses or other agreements and entering into such new licenses or other agreements (and, in each case, entering into agreements with the relevant Governmental Antitrust Authority giving effect thereto) in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) if such action is necessary or reasonably advisable or as may be required by any Governmental Antitrust Authority as a condition to the granting of any Consent necessary for the consummation of the Transactions or as may be required to avoid, lift, vacate, reverse or resolve any legislative, administrative or judicial action (including any suit instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by the FTC, the DOJ or any other applicable Governmental Authority or any private party challenging any of the Transactions as violative of the Antitrust Laws) that would otherwise reasonably be expected to impair or delay the consummation of the Transactions; provided that any such action shall not be required or (without consent of Seller, to the extent such action relates to the Sold Companies or the Purchased Assets) permitted to be effective prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.3(d), nothing contained in this Agreement shall require Buyer, or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, to take, or agree to take, any action or agree to any condition or restriction, in connection with obtaining any Consent necessary from any Governmental Antitrust Authority, that would reasonably be likely to have a material and adverse effect on Buyer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Closing hereunder (with materiality measured on a scale relative to the Sold Companies and the Purchased Assets, taken as a whole).

(e) The filing fees under the HSR Act, Antitrust Laws and other applicable Laws, as well as the fees and disbursements of any legal counsel or other advisor jointly retained by the parties in connection with any such filings and any other filings with Governmental Authorities, shall be borne by Buyer.

(f) Without limiting any other obligation under this Agreement, during the Pre-Closing Period, none of Parent, Seller, Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to not, take or agree to take any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the parties from obtaining any Consent of any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions, or to prevent or delay or impede the consummation of the Transactions, including any acquisition (whether via merger, consolidation, stock or asset purchase or otherwise) of or agreement to acquire any amounts of assets of or any equity in any other Person or any business or division thereof if such acquisition or agreement would be reasonably expected to create a meaningful risk of making it more difficult to obtain Consent of the FTC or the DOJ or any other Governmental Antitrust Authority required in connection with the Transactions.

(g) Each of Parent and Seller agrees to introduce Buyer to Parent’s and Seller’s Defense Security Service (“DSS”) contact(s) within five (5) Business Days after the date hereof so that Buyer may present a Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (“FOCI”) action plan to demonstrate that it presents no unmitigated FOCI. Seller will reasonably cooperate, at no cost to Parent, Seller or their respective Affiliates, with Buyers efforts to ensure DSS agreement that there is no unmitigated FOCI.

(h) Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect as soon as practicable the transfer or novation to the Sold Companies of all existing export licenses and other authorizations under which the Sold Companies operate.

SECTION 5.4 Third Party Consents.

(a) Each of the parties shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any Consent of any Person (other than Governmental Antitrust Authorities) required to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including obtaining each of the Consents set forth on Schedule 5.4 and novation of each Government Contract set forth in Section 3.7(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (each, a “Buyer Novated Contract”). Each party agrees to cooperate reasonably with the other in obtaining such Consents. To the extent that the parties are unable to obtain any required third party Consents prior to the Closing (such Consents, the “Post-Closing Consents”), Parent and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer to make or obtain (or cause to be made or obtained), as promptly as practicable following the Closing, all Post-Closing Consents.

(b) As soon as practicable following the Closing, Seller shall prepare (with Buyer’s assistance, which will include preparation of all information and documents required of the transferee for such requests), in accordance with FAR Subpart 42.12, and any applicable agency regulations or policies, a written request meeting the requirements of FAR Subpart 42.12, as reasonably interpreted by the Responsible Contracting Officer (as such term is defined in FAR Subpart 42.1202), which shall be submitted by the Seller to the Responsible Contracting Officer, for the applicable Governmental Authority (i) to recognize Buyer as Seller’s successor-in-interest to each of the Buyer Novated Contracts and (ii) to enter into a novation agreement (a “Novation Agreement”), in the form and substance as set forth in FAR Subpart 42.1204(i) which shall be deemed reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller, pursuant to which, subject to the requirements of FAR Subpart 42.12, all of Parent’s, Seller’s or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ right, title and interest in and to, and all of Parent’s, Seller’s and any of their respective Subsidiaries’ obligations and liabilities under each such Buyer Novated Contracts shall be validly conveyed, transferred and assigned and novated to Buyer by all parties thereto. Seller and Buyer shall each use all reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required for the purpose of processing, entering into and completing the Novation Agreements with regard to each of the Buyer Novated Contracts, including responding to any requests for information by a U.S. Governmental Authority with regard to such Novation Agreements.

(c) Buyer and Seller shall collaborate regarding the information to be shared with the Responsible Contracting Officer(s) prior to Closing, provided that Seller shall have the ultimate right to determine what information will be shared with the Responsible Contracting Officer(s) prior to Closing.

(d) The parties acknowledge that the transfer or assignment of the Buyer Novated Contracts is subject to the Governmental Authority’s approval of a Novation Agreement recognizing Buyer as the successor-in-interest to Parent, Seller or one of their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be. Unless and until the Governmental Authority recognizes Buyer as the successor-in-interest to Parent, Seller or one of their respective Subsidiaries under the relevant Buyer Novated Contracts, Parent, Seller and their respective Subsidiaries shall subcontract to Buyer all of Parent’s, Seller’s or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ rights and obligations under such Buyer Novated Contracts to the maximum extent permissible under law. In connection therewith, Buyer shall perform on behalf of Parent, Seller and their respective Subsidiaries all of their obligations under such Buyer Novated Contracts in full compliance with those Contracts and applicable Laws, and Parent’s, Seller’s or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ shall promptly remit to Buyer all payments Parent, Seller or one of their respective Subsidiaries receives under such Buyer Novated Contracts with respect to obligations performed by Buyer.

(e) From the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, the Seller agrees, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, to use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the inclusion in each of the Buyer Novated Contracts entered into or Government Contract Bid submitted subsequent to the date of this Agreement (each, a “Subsequent Contract”) a provision prohibiting the assignment of any Subsequent Contract to Buyer.

(f) Until such time as the relevant Government Authority recognizes the transfer of the rights and obligations under any particular Government Contract to the Buyer in accordance with, and to the extent required by, FAR Subpart 42.12, the Buyer and Seller will enter into a pre-novation subcontract under which, to the extent permissible under law, the Buyer will perform for and in the place of the Seller any and all operations and provide any and all goods, equipment, services and other performance obligations under such Government Contract as of the Closing, pursuant to its respective terms and conditions, including any and all amendments, options, modifications, purchase orders issued thereunder and such other terms and conditions as may have been duly incorporated in such Government Contract. The Buyer agrees to perform and discharge each Government Contract in a timely manner and in accordance with applicable law and with all of the terms of such Government Contract. In the event that the relevant Government Authority declines to provide any required consent to such pre-novation subcontract with respect to any particular Government Contract, or that such pre-novation subcontract would otherwise constitute a violation or breach of any particular Government Contract or any applicable law with respect to any particular Government Contract, the Seller will use its reasonable efforts to provide to the Buyer the benefits of the applicable Government Contract, including by cooperating in any reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to the Buyer and by enforcing at the request and expense of the Buyer for its account, any rights of the Transferor arising from any such Government Contract (including the right to elect to terminate such contract in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the terms thereof upon request of the Buyer). If and when any required Government Authority recognizes the transfer of the rights and obligations under any particular Government Contract to the Transferee, the Seller will promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, all rights, obligations and other liabilities thereunder to the Buyer without payment of any further consideration, and the Buyer will assume such rights, obligations and other liabilities thereunder without payment of any further consideration.

SECTION 5.5 Tax Matters.

(a) Buyer and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating directly to the Sold Companies and Purchased Assets (including access to books and records, employees, contractors and Representatives, as applicable) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for and response to any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax Return; provided, however, that if such requested information is contained within a document containing any unrelated information, only portions pertaining to such relevant information shall be furnished. Buyer and Seller shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Sold Companies and Purchased Assets until the expiration of all relevant statutes of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer and Seller, as the case may be, any extensions thereof). At the end of such period, each party shall provide the other with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice before destroying any such books and records, during which period the party receiving such notice can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records.

(b) Tax Returns. Seller shall (i) prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) all U.S. federal and state income Tax Returns in respect of Seller, the Purchased Assets and any of the Sold Companies for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (“Seller Tax Return”) and (ii) timely pay all Taxes due and payable with respect to any such Returns. All Seller Tax Return shall be prepared consistent with past practice, except as required by applicable Law. Buyer shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) any other Tax Returns of the Sold Companies or with respect to the Purchased Assets (“Buyer Tax Return”). To the extent any Buyer Tax Return includes a taxable period (or portion thereof) for which Seller would be responsible pursuant to Section 5.6(a), (i) Buyer shall prepare and timely file any such Buyer Tax Returns in a manner consistent with past practice, except as required by applicable Law and (ii) Buyer shall provide Seller with a draft of any such Buyer Tax Returns at least thirty (30) days before the filing due date and Buyer shall make any changes to such Buyer Tax Returns reasonably requested by Seller. All Seller Tax deductions attributable to the payment of Transaction Expenses shall, insofar as permissible, be reflected on Seller Tax Returns.

(c) Tax Sharing Agreements. Seller shall cause the provisions of any agreement, arrangement or practice with respect to Taxes (including any Tax sharing agreements) between Seller, on the one hand, and any Sold Company, on the other hand, to be terminated on or before the Closing Date. After the Closing Date no person shall have any rights or obligations under any such agreement, arrangement or practice with respect to Taxes.

SECTION 5.6 Tax Indemnity.

(a) Subject to the provisions set forth in this Agreement, from and after the Closing, Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer and its officers, directors, employees, agents Representatives and Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Sold Companies) and hold each of them harmless against (i) any Taxes of Seller, (ii) any Taxes of the Sold Companies or with respect to the Purchased Assets for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), any Taxes allocable (pursuant to Section 5.6(g)) to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (in each case to the extent not otherwise included in the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital, as determined pursuant to Section 2.10), (iii) payments under any Tax allocation, sharing or similar agreement, other than pursuant to this Agreement, to which Seller, the Business, the Sold Companies or the Purchased Assets is subject, in each case, entered into prior to the Closing Date, (iv) Seller’s share of the Transfer Taxes, if any, as set forth in Section 5.17(b), and (v) any and all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary group of which any of the Sold Companies (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. law or regulation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Tax indemnity provided under this Section 5.6(a) shall not cover Tax Liabilities (I) resulting from any transaction engaged in, by, or with a Sold Company outside the ordinary course of business that occurs after the Closing on the Closing Date or (II) resulting from any action taken after the Closing on the Closing Date by Buyer, any of its Affiliates, or any transferee of Buyer or its Affiliates that is outside the ordinary course of business.

(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in this Agreement, from and after the Closing, Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, Representatives and Affiliates and hold each of them harmless against all Designated Taxes of the Sold Companies or with respect to the Purchased Assets (i) properly allocable to a Tax period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date, (ii) Buyer’s share of the Transfer Taxes, if any, as set forth in Section 5.17(b), and (iii) that are incurred by reason of Buyer’s failure to perform any covenant or other agreement of Buyer contained in Section 5.5, this Section 5.6, Section 5.7 or Section 5.8 hereof.

(c) Payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount due under this Section 5.6 shall be made within ten (10) Business Days following written notice by the Indemnified Party that payment of such amounts to the appropriate Taxing Authority is due; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to make any payment earlier than five (5) Business Days before it is due to the appropriate Taxing Authority. In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7 below, payment of the Tax to the appropriate Taxing Authority shall not be considered to be due earlier than the date a final determination to such effect is made by the appropriate Taxing Authority or court.

(d) The parties agree that any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of a party to indemnify and hold harmless another party pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall terminate at the close of business on the 30^th day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the Tax Liabilities in question; provided, however, if a party seeking indemnity has made a proper claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.6 prior to such termination date, then such claim for such Loss incurred (and only such claim for such Loss incurred), if then unresolved, shall not be extinguished by the passage of the deadlines set forth in this Section 5.6(e).

(f) Any disputes between the parties with respect to the Tax matters regarding the Sold Companies in Section 5.5, this Section 5.6 or Section 5.7 shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm, whose fees and expenses shall be shared in accordance with Section 2.10(e).

(g) For purposes of Section 5.6(a), (i) real and personal property Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) for the taxable period that includes the Closing Date shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer, with such Taxes being borne by Seller based on the ratio of the number of days in the relevant period prior to and including the Closing Date to the total number of days in the actual taxable period with respect to which such Taxes are assessed, and being borne by Buyer based on the ratio of the number of days in the relevant period after the Closing Date to the total number of days in the actual taxable period with respect to which such Taxes are assessed, irrespective of when such Taxes are due, become a lien or are assessed; (b) sales and use Tax shall be deemed to accrue as property is purchased, sold, used or transferred; and (c) all other Taxes shall accrue by way of a closing of books, as though the relevant taxable period had ended on the Closing Date (provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned on a daily basis). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any deductions attributable to Transaction Expenses that have not been reflected on a Seller Tax Return shall, insofar as permissible, be allocated to the taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date.

(h) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate amount for which Seller is obligated to indemnify pursuant to Section 5.6(a) exceed the Purchase Price.

SECTION 5.7 Procedures Relating to Indemnity of Tax Claims.

(a) If a Tax claim, audit, examination, notice of deficiency or other adjustment, assessment or redetermination shall be made or threatened against Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, or any of their Affiliates by any Taxing Authority, which, if successful, would result in an indemnity payment pursuant to Section 5.6(a) or (b) (a “Tax Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Tax Claim stating the nature and basis of such Tax Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known by the Indemnified Party. If notice of a Tax Claim is not given to the Indemnifying Party within a sufficient period of time to allow the Indemnifying Party to effectively contest such Tax Claim, or in reasonable detail to apprise the Indemnifying Party of the nature of the Tax Claim, in each case taking into account the facts and circumstances with respect to such Tax Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party or any of their Affiliates to the extent that the Indemnified Party’s ability to effectively contest such Tax Claim is prejudiced as a result thereof.

(b) With respect to any Tax Claim that relates to a Tax for which Seller would be solely responsible pursuant to Section 5.6(a), Seller shall control at its expense all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel), but shall not, without the prior written approval of Buyer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), agree or consent to compromise or settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any issue or claim arising in such proceeding, or otherwise agree or consent to any Tax Liability, to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement may increase (i) the Tax Liability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (other than any Sold Company) or (ii) the Tax Liability of any Sold Company or with respect to any Purchased Asset with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) for which Buyer would be responsible pursuant to Section 5.6(b).

(c) With respect to any Tax Claim for which Buyer would be solely responsible pursuant to Section 5.6(b), Buyer shall have the right to control at its expense all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel), but shall not, without the prior written approval of Seller (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), agree or consent to compromise or settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any issue or claim arising in such proceeding, or otherwise agree or consent to any Tax Liability, to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement may increase (i) the Tax Liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than any Sold Company) or (ii) the Tax Liability of any Sold Company or with respect to any Purchased Asset with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) for which Seller would be responsible pursuant to Section 5.6(a).

(d) With regard to a Tax Claim that is (i) related to any Purchased Asset or in regard to any Sold Company, in each case with regard to a Straddle Period, and (ii) would be described in Section 5.6(a) or Section 5.6(b), but for not being the sole responsibility of either Seller or Buyer, Seller and Buyer shall jointly control and participate in all proceedings taken in connection with any such Tax Claim, and shall bear their own respective costs and expenses; provided, however, neither Seller nor Buyer shall agree or consent to compromise or settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any issue or claim arising in such proceeding, or otherwise agree or consent to any Tax Liability, without the prior written consent of the other party.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained or implied in this Agreement, after the Closing Date, neither Buyer nor any Affiliate of Buyer (including, after the Closing, the Sold Companies) shall, without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), file or cause to be filed (i) any amended Tax Return, (ii) any claim for Tax refund or (iii) any Tax election, with respect to the Sold Companies (or relating to its income, properties or operations), if any such filing could have the effect of (i) increasing the Tax Liability of Seller or their respective Affiliates (other than any Sold Company) (or, in each case, otherwise materially disadvantaging such party) or (ii) increasing the Tax Liability of any Sold Company or with respect to any Purchased Asset with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) for which Seller would be responsible pursuant to Section 5.6(a).

(f) Buyer and Seller will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the resolution of any Tax Claims for which Buyer or Seller would be responsible pursuant to Section 5.6 (including by the provision of reasonably relevant records or information). The party requesting such cooperation will pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the other party.

SECTION 5.8 Refunds and Tax Benefits.

(a) Any Tax refund that is received by Buyer, or, after the Closing, the Sold Companies, from a Government Authority and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer or the Sold Companies become entitled, that (i) relate to a Tax for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 5.6(a), and (ii) in the case of a credit, results in a Tax Benefit to Buyer or the Sold Companies for the Tax period during which such credit is first available, shall be for the account of Seller and Buyer shall promptly pay over to Seller (to one or more accounts designated by Seller) the amount of any such refund or any such credit within five (5) days after the receipt or entitlement thereto. If such refund is required to be returned to, or such credit is withdrawn by, a Governmental Authority, Seller shall remit to Buyer such amount within five (5) days of the date Buyer returns such refund amount to, or makes payment in regard to a withdrawn credit by, the Governmental Authority. Buyer agrees that, other than as required by Law, it shall not, without Seller’s prior written consent, cause or permit the Sold Companies to carry back to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date any net operating loss, loss from operations or other Tax attribute, and further agrees that in such cases, Seller shall have no obligation under this Agreement to return or remit any refund or other Tax benefit attributable to a breach by Buyer of the foregoing undertaking.

(b) At the request of Seller, Buyer shall file or cause to be filed an amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund with respect to Taxes of the Sold Companies for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, and except in the case of a detriment to Buyer, or for any portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date. Seller shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer with respect to any request pursuant to the previous sentence.

SECTION 5.9 Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) Business Employees. Buyer shall (or shall cause the Sold Companies to) (i) continue the employment on the Closing Date of each Business Employee who is employed by a Sold Company as of the Closing and (ii) where an offer of employment is necessary for Buyer (or a Sold Company) to employ any other Business Employee, within twenty-five (25) days prior to the Closing Date, make an offer of employment to each other Business Employee, in both cases on the terms set forth in this Section 5.9. Notwithstanding the generality of the preceding sentence, to the extent any Business Employee who is an Employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Sold Companies) has entered into a written agreement or contractual undertaking with Seller or an Affiliate of Seller which governs the compensation terms of such Business Employee’s employment (an “Employment Agreement”), or is the subject of any agreement of Seller or an Affiliate of Seller (other than the Sold Companies) regarding the terms and conditions of employment of such Business Employee (collectively with any Employment Agreements “Compensation Agreements”), Seller and Buyer shall take all actions necessary to assign, or cause the applicable Affiliate of Seller to assign, such Compensation Agreements and all such obligations under any Compensation Agreements to one of the Sold Companies or an Affiliate of Buyer effective as of the Closing Date, and Buyer and its Affiliates expressly assume and agree to perform under the Compensation Agreements in substantially the same manner and to the same extent that the Seller and its applicable Affiliates would be required to perform. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent Buyer or its Affiliates from amending any such Compensation Agreements, provided that the Business Employees party thereto agree to such amendments. Buyer shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any Liabilities incurred or arising as a result of such Compensation Agreements following the Closing. Further, Buyer shall, or cause its applicable Affiliates to, indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless against any Liabilities or costs (including severance costs) arising from or connected to the employment or termination of a Transferred Employee by Buyer or one of its Affiliates after Closing. Unless a written acceptance of an offer of employment is required by applicable Law, a Business Employee who continues employment or who has received an offer of employment shall be deemed to have accepted such continuance or offer, unless such Business Employee specifically declines the continuance or offer. Business Employees described in this Section 5.9(a) who, by operation of Law or as set out in this Section 5.9(a), or by acceptance of an offer of employment by Buyer or one if its Affiliates, become employees of Buyer or one of its Affiliates (including, as of the Closing, any of the Sold Companies), shall collectively be the “Transferred Employees”. Transferred Employees who are based primarily within the United States shall collectively be the “Transferred US Employees”, and all other Transferred Employees shall collectively be the “International Transferred Employees”.

(b) Maintenance of Compensation and Benefits. For Transferred Employees whose terms and conditions of employment are not governed by a collective bargaining agreement, subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.9, during the Relevant Period or for so long as such Transferred Employee remains employed, if shorter, Buyer shall provide (or cause one of its Affiliates to provide) each Transferred Employee with (A) an annual base salary or wage rate, (B) short term bonus, incentive compensation opportunities or commission opportunities and (C) other compensation in the aggregate that are each at least equal to his or her annual base salary or wage rates, or short term bonus, incentive compensation, commission opportunities and other compensation in the aggregate, in effect immediately prior to the Closing. In addition, Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall provide to Transferred Employees (or cause one of its Affiliates to provide) during the Relevant Period or for so long as such Transferred Employee remains employed, if shorter, benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing. Following the Closing, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall provide the Transferred Employees with any “defined benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA) benefits (except, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Multiemployer Plan), any equity or equity-based compensation plan or arrangement, or any post-employment or post-retirement health or welfare plan or arrangement (except as required under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 or similar state law). With respect to any individual Transferred Employee who affirmatively enters into an agreement with Buyer or one of its Affiliates governing the compensation and benefits applicable to such individual Transferred Employee, Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall maintain the compensation and each benefit arrangement for the individual Transferred Employee in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, unless further modified by the mutual agreement of Buyer or one of its Affiliates and the individual Transferred Employee. Where required by local Law, Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall either obtain (or cause the appropriate Sold Company to obtain) the consent of the relevant Transferred Employee before making any changes to the terms and conditions of the Transferred Employee’s employment (including compensation and benefits) following Closing or otherwise make the change in accordance with local Law. For Transferred U.S. Employees whose terms and conditions of employment were governed by a collective bargaining agreement to which a Sold Company was party immediately prior to Closing, the collective bargaining agreements will remain in place pursuant to its terms and continue to govern the terms and conditions of employment applicable to those employees. For Transferred U.S. Employees whose terms and conditions of employment were governed by a collective bargaining agreement to which no Sold Company was a party immediately prior to Closing, Buyer will cause one of its Affiliates to recognize and bargain with the relevant union regarding terms and conditions of employment for those employees consistent with applicable labor Law.

(c) U.S. Defined Contribution Plans. Buyer shall take any and all necessary actions to permit the Transferred Employees that are entitled to receive an “eligible rollover distribution” (as defined in Code Section 402(c)(4)) from any Seller Plan that is a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan to roll over such eligible rollover distribution, as part of any lump sum cash distribution into an account under a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan maintained by Buyer or one of its Affiliates (the “Buyer DC Plan”), subject to and in accordance with the provisions of such plan and applicable Law, effective no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Closing Date (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties). Seller and Buyer shall cooperate as reasonably necessary in order to facilitate and effect an eligible rollover distribution for those Business Employees who elect to rollover their account balances directly to the Buyer DC Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer DC Plan shall not accept rollovers of any employer securities (including any securities of Parent) from any Seller Plan.

(d) Service Credit. For all purposes of eligibility, vesting, benefit accrual and level of benefits under all employee benefit plans (other than a benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan) of Buyer or its Affiliates providing benefits to any Transferred Employee after the Closing (the “New Plans”), each Transferred Employee shall receive full credit for such Transferred Employee’s years of service with Seller and its Affiliates before the Closing (including predecessor or acquired entities or any other entities for which Seller and its Affiliates have given credit for prior service), to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled, prior to the Closing, to credit for such service under any similar or comparable Seller Plan (except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits ). Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate and exchange such information as is necessary to avoid any such duplication of benefits and to facilitate Buyer’s compliance with this Section 5.9. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent accrued for by the Company as a Current Liability and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall credit each Transferred Employee with all paid time off accrued and unused by such Transferred Employee through the Closing Date.

(e) Eligibility. Where applicable, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) at the Closing or the end of the term of the Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA Period”), as applicable, each Transferred Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in each New Plan to the extent such waiting time was satisfied under a similar or comparable Seller Plan in which the Transferred Employee participated immediately before the Closing (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), (ii) Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions or limitations and actively-at-work requirements of each New Plan to be waived or satisfied for such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent waived or satisfied under the analogous Old Plan as of the Closing and (iii) Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to cause all eligible expenses incurred by each Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Transferred Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan, but only to the extent that, upon Buyer’s written request, Seller’s or its Affiliates’ insurance carriers, providers or third-party administrators provide the applicable data related to such deductibles, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements to Buyer or its Affiliates.

(f) Participation; Allocation of Liabilities. Prior to the Closing, or at the end of the TSA Period, as applicable, the Sold Companies shall discontinue participation in and/or sponsorship of all Seller Plans. As of the Closing or the end of the TSA Period, as applicable, each Transferred Employee shall cease participation in all Seller Plans that provide for medical, health, welfare or insurance benefits (each, a “Seller Welfare Plan”) and commence participation in corresponding New Plans maintained, administered or contributed to by Buyer or its Affiliates, subject to and in accordance with Section 5.9(b) hereof. Seller and its Affiliates shall be responsible for claims incurred under a Seller Welfare Plan for Transferred Employees and their beneficiaries and dependents through the Closing. All claims incurred under a Seller Welfare Plan for Transferred Employees after the Closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer or its Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 5.9(f), the following claims shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (i) life, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance benefits, upon the death or accident giving rise to such benefits; and (ii) health or medical, dental, vision care or prescription drug benefits, upon provision of such services, materials or supplies. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall be responsible for short- and long-term disability benefits that, by their terms, are payable prior to the Closing, and Buyer shall be responsible for such benefits that, by their terms, are payable on or after the Closing.

(g) Severance. Any Transferred Employee who (i) is terminated other than for cause attributable to such Transferred Employee (as reasonably determined by Buyer or its Affiliates in their discretion) during the Relevant Period, or (ii) rejects an offer of employment from Buyer or one of its Affiliates at Closing (which offer of employment did not satisfy the requirements of Section 5.9(b)) and does not otherwise accept another offer of employment from Buyer or one of its Affiliates at Closing, shall be entitled to severance payments and benefits from Buyer no less favorable than those that would have been provided to such Transferred Employee under (A) Seller’s or an Affiliate’s severance policy or individual employment, severance or separation agreement or other arrangement in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date (each, a “Seller Severance Plan”), as calculated using the same salary or hourly wage rate or other compensation, as applicable, provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, except as Buyer and its Affiliates, as applicable, and such Transferred Employee may otherwise agree in writing and (B) any statutory, regulatory or common law scheme, in each case applicable to such Transferred Employee (taking into account any post-Closing service with Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries), assuming for purposes of this Section 5.9(g) that such Transferred Employee had satisfied any requirements for the receipt of severance under such plan or policy or statutory or regulatory scheme, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, any Transferred Employee who rejects an offer of employment from Buyer or one of its Affiliates at Closing (which offer of employment satisfied the material requirements of Section 5.9(b)) and does not otherwise accept another offer of employment from Buyer or one of its Affiliates at Closing shall be entitled to severance payments and benefits (if any) solely from Seller or its Affiliate (other than the Sold Companies).

(h) Workers’ Compensation. In those jurisdictions where there is a workers’ compensation program, Buyer’s or one of its Affiliates’ workers’ compensation program shall be responsible for all claims, including expenses within any applicable deductibles, for benefits that are deemed to be an injury or disease occurring after the Closing by participating Transferred Employees. Seller’s workers’ compensation program shall be responsible for all claims, including expenses within any applicable deductibles, for benefits that are deemed to be an injury or disease occurring on or prior to the Closing by participating Transferred Employees.

(i) Vacation. With respect to any accrued but unused vacation time to which any Transferred Employee is entitled pursuant to the vacation policy or individual agreement or other arrangement applicable to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (the “Vacation Policy”), Buyer shall, or shall cause any of its Affiliates to, (i) allow such Transferred Employee to use such accrued vacation to the extent such amounts are included as Current Liabilities and (ii) if any Transferred Employee’s employment terminates during the Relevant Period, pay the Transferred Employee, in cash, an amount equal to the value of the unused accrued vacation time to the same extent that the Transferred Employee would have received a cash payment therefor under the Vacation Policy or the applicable Seller Severance Plan as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

(j) Outstanding Equity Awards. Prior to the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates shall recognize the pro rata vesting of each outstanding equity award held by Business Employees pursuant to the terms of the applicable equity incentive plan and each individual equity or equity-based award agreement granted thereunder. As of the Closing, the Sold Companies and their Affiliates shall have no liability with respect to any outstanding equity or equity-based compensation awards held by the Transferred Employees. Seller shall be entitled to the value of any Tax deduction attributable to the actions set forth in Section 5.9(j).

(k) Employee Communications. Prior to the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in communications with Business Employees with respect to employee compensation and benefit plans maintained by Seller or Buyer and with respect to other matters arising in connection with the Transactions and the Closing Agreements.

(l) Acknowledgement. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that nothing contained in this Section 5.9 shall be construed to limit in any way the ability of Buyer or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee from and after the Closing; provided that such termination is in accordance with applicable Law and the terms of any applicable Compensation Agreement.

(m) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.13, nothing in this Section 5.9, express or implied, is intended to confer any third party beneficiary or other rights, benefits, or remedies under this Agreement upon any Person (including any Transferred Employees or other current or former Business Employees), including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period or continued participation in any Seller Plan or employee benefit plan sponsored, maintained, or contributed to by Buyer or its Affiliates, of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.9. No provision of this Section 5.9 is intended to and such provisions do not modify, amend or create any employee compensation or benefit plan of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates.

(n) Cooperation. Each of Buyer and Seller recognize it to be in the best interests of the parties hereto and their respective employees that the transactions in this Section 5.9 be effected in an orderly manner and agree to devote their respective reasonable best efforts and to cooperate fully in complying with the provisions of this Section 5.9. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties agrees to execute, deliver and file all documents and to take all such actions as are deemed necessary or desirable in order to carry out and perform the purpose of this Section 5.9 and to facilitate the transactions referred to in this Section 5.9.

SECTION 5.10 Labor Matters.

(a) Buyer shall reasonably cooperate in connection with any required notification to, or any required consultation with, the employees, employee representatives, work councils, unions, labor boards and relevant government agencies concerning the Transactions with respect to the Business Employees.

(b) Buyer hereby indemnifies Seller and its Affiliates against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all Losses incurred by Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to the WARN Act arising (i) as a result of the Transactions, or (ii) as a result of any employment losses affecting any Business Employees that are ordered by Buyer in the ninety (90) day period immediately following the Closing Date; provided, however that no such indemnification shall be required in the event that Seller or its Affiliates fail to satisfy their obligations under the WARN Act in the event of (i) above or their obligations under this Section 5.10(b). Seller shall be responsible for all WARN Act Liabilities relating to the periods prior to the Closing Date with respect to any employment losses which are unrelated to the Transactions. As of the Closing Date, Seller or its Affiliates shall provide Buyer with accurate information regarding the headcounts, locations and reason for termination of any Employees terminated in the ninety (90) day period immediately prior to the Closing with respect to the Sold Companies.

SECTION 5.11 Contact with Customers, Suppliers and Other Business Relations. Prior to the Closing, Buyer and its Representatives shall not contact or communicate with the employees, customers and suppliers of the Sold Companies in connection with, or relating in any way to, the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

SECTION 5.12 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) Restrictions on Competing Activities Following Closing.

(i) For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, each of Parent and Seller agrees that it will not, and will cause its respective Subsidiaries not to directly or indirectly sell in any geographic areas or industry markets in which the Business has operated or sold products and services prior to Closing (the “Prior Areas”) any products or services that are the same or substantially similar to any products or services of the Business immediately prior to Closing (such products or services, “Competitive Products”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent, Seller and their respective Affiliates will not, for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, bid on the Contracts set forth Schedule 5.12(a)(i), whether or not it would constitute a Competitive Product in competition with Buyer or its Subsidiaries.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.12(a) shall not prohibit each of Parent and/or Seller, directly or indirectly (through an Affiliate or otherwise), from: (A) designing, developing, manufacturing, using or marketing, offering for sale or selling any Non-Competitive Products, (B) investing in or holding securities of any Person engaged in a business competitive to the Business to the extent such investment or holding does not, directly or indirectly, confer on Seller or any of their respective Affiliates more than 5% of the voting power, outstanding capital stock or other ownership interests of such Person and (C) hereafter acquiring or investing in or, after such acquisition or investment, continuing to own and operate, any entity or business which (1) has operations that compete with the Business if such operations account for less than the greater of (y) 20% of such entity’s consolidated revenues for the fiscal year ended immediately prior to such acquisition or investment and each subsequent fiscal year when Parent or Seller continues to operate such entity or business (provided that this Section 5.12(a)(ii)(y) shall not be deemed to be violated if such operations account for more than 20% of such entity’s consolidated revenues if within twelve (12) months following (I) the consummation of such acquisition or (II) the first date in any subsequent fiscal year that such operations account for more than 20% of such entity’s consolidated revenues in its quarterly or annual financial statements, as the case may be, Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ activities that compete with the Business account for less than 20% percent of such entity’s consolidated annual revenues for the then most recently completed fiscal year) and (z) $150,000,000 in consolidated revenues for the fiscal year ended immediately prior to the date of such acquisition or investment and each subsequent fiscal year when Parent or Seller continues to operate such entity or business or (2) is set forth on Schedule 5.12(a)(ii). In the event that Parent, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates shall sell to a Person any portion of their respective businesses (whether by means of acquisition, asset purchase, merger, consolidation, similar business combination or otherwise), the restrictions contained in this Section 5.12(a)(ii) shall not prohibit such sale and shall not apply to any such acquiring Person or such Person’s Affiliates after the consummation of such sale, provided that each of Parent and Seller shall continue to be bound by this Section 5.12(a)(ii) following such sale.

(iii) For a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, each of Parent and Seller agrees that it will not, and will cause its respective Subsidiaries (including through its and their respective officers, directors and employees) not to, directly or indirectly:

(A) request, induce or attempt to influence any of the Business Employees to terminate his or her employment with or service to Buyer or any Sold Company or their Affiliates;

(B) attempt to dissuade any Business Employee from continuing employment with Buyer or the Sold Companies or their Affiliates, as the case may be; or

(C) hire or employ or solicit the employment of, or make or extend any offer of employment to any Business Employee who is then employed by Buyer or the Sold Companies or their Affiliates, or any Person who is covered by the immediately following sentence. The restrictions of clause (C) of this Section 5.12(a)(iii) shall cease to apply to a Business Employee six (6) months after the date of termination of his or her employment with Buyer, any Sold Companies or any of their Affiliates. Nothing in clause (C) of this Section 5.12(a)(iii) shall restrict or preclude Parent, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates from making generalized searches for employees by the use of advertisements in the media (including trade media) or by engaging search firms that are not targeted at any such Business Employees so long as, subject to the fall away provision in this Section 5.12(a)(iii)(C) with respect to the terminated Business Employees, none of Parent, Seller or any of their Affiliates hire or employ any Business Employees during the two (2) year period from and after the Closing Date.

(iv) For a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, Buyer agrees that it will not, and will cause the Sold Companies and each of Buyer’s and the Sold Companies’ respective Subsidiaries (including through its and their respective officers, directors and employees) not to, directly or indirectly:

(A) request, induce or attempt to influence to terminate his or her employment with or service to Seller or its Affiliates, as the case may be, any employee of Seller or its Affiliates that Buyer communicated with, became aware of or was introduced to in connection with the Transactions or who is first identified by employees of the Sold Companies or the Purchased Assets;

(B) attempt to dissuade from continuing employment with Seller or its Affiliates, as the case may be, any employee of Seller or its Affiliates that Buyer communicated with, became aware of or was introduced to in connection with the Transactions or who is first identified by employees of the Sold Companies or the Purchased Assets; or

(C) hire or employ or solicit the employment of, or make or extend any offer of employment to, any employee of Seller or its Affiliates that Buyer communicated with, became aware of or was introduced to in connection with the Transactions or who is first identified by employees of the Sold Companies or the Purchased Assets. The restrictions of clause (C) of this Section 5.12(a)(iv) shall cease to apply to an employee of Seller or its Affiliates six (6) months after the date of termination of his or her employment with Seller and its Affiliates. Nothing in clause (C) of this Section 5.12(a)(iv) shall restrict or preclude Buyer, any of the Sold Companies or any of Buyer’s or the Sold Companies’ respective Affiliates from making generalized searches for employees by the use of advertisements in the media (including trade media) or by engaging search firms that are not targeted at any such employee of Seller or its Affiliates.

(v) The parties mutually agree that this Section 5.12(a) is reasonable in scope and duration in light of the nature, size and location of the Business and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s, Parent’s and Seller’s legitimate business interests and the value of the Business (including its goodwill), the Sold Interests and Parent’s and Seller’s other businesses, and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on any party and their respective successors. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 5.12(a) be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Law.

(b) If a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in this Section 5.12 is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power (but without affecting the right of Parent, Seller or Buyer to obtain the relief provided for in this Section 5.12 in any jurisdiction other than such court’s or tribunal’s jurisdiction) to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. To the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Parent and Seller, on the other hand, hereby waives on its own behalf and on behalf of its successors, any provision of Law which renders any provision of this Section 5.12 invalid, void or unenforceable in any respect.

(c) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the remedy of indemnity payments and the other remedies at law for any breach of the requirements of this Section 5.12 would be inadequate, and agrees and consents that without intending to limit any additional remedies that may be available, temporary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief may be granted without proof of actual damage or inadequacy of legal remedy and without the posting of a bond, in any proceeding which may be brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 5.12.

SECTION 5.13 Release of Guaranties. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to, effective as of the Closing Date, terminate or cause to be terminated, in each case without Liability on the part of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Sold Companies) (collectively, the “Seller Guarantors”), or cause Buyer or one of its Affiliates to be substituted for such Seller Guarantors in respect of all Liabilities of the Seller Guarantors under guarantees of or relating primarily to Liabilities (including under any Contract or letter of credit or relating to any Leased Real Property) of the Business and the Sold Companies to the extent listed on Schedule 5.13 (the “Guaranties”). In the event the foregoing actions are not completed by the Closing Date, then Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Guarantors from and against all Losses incurred by any such Person as a result of such failure and from and against any continuing Liabilities under any such Guaranties, except for losses arising from any acts or omissions of a Seller Guarantor. Seller and Buyer shall continue to cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to terminate 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 Guaranties, and Buyer shall (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Guarantors for any Losses arising after the Closing from such Guaranties and (ii) not and shall not permit the Business, the Sold Companies, the Company or their Affiliates to (A) renew or extend the term of or (B) increase its obligations under, or transfer to another third party, any loan, lease, Contract or other obligation for which any Seller Guarantor is liable under such Guaranty unless Buyer, the Sold Companies or their respective Affiliates are substituted in all respects for the Seller Guarantors, and the Seller Guarantors are released in respect of all obligations of the Seller Guarantors, under such Guaranties. To the extent that any Seller Guarantor has performance obligations under any such Guaranty, Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to (x) perform, or cause its Affiliates to perform, such obligations on behalf of such Seller Guarantor or (y) otherwise take such action as reasonably requested by Seller so as to put such Seller Guarantor in the same position as if Buyer or one of its Affiliates, and not such Seller Guarantor, had performed or were performing such obligations. Buyer shall not be obligated to pay any consent fee or similar payment to fulfill the obligations of Buyer under this Section 5.13. On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent and Seller shall, effective as of the Closing Date, terminate or cause to be terminated, in each case without Liability on the part of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Sold Companies), the Indebtedness of the Sold Companies set forth on Section 3.15(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

SECTION 5.14 Further Assurances. Subject to Section 5.3, each of the parties hereto shall use all reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required or reasonably requested to consummate or give effect to the Transactions, including the Pre-Closing Transfers.

Prior to the Effective Time, to the extent possible and permissible under applicable Law, net cash of the Sold Companies may be distributed under the form of capital reductions or dividends or may be lent to other Sold Companies that would otherwise be in a borrowing position vis-à-vis Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Sold Companies) or may be otherwise removed from any Sold Company pursuant to Section 5.15(c).

(b) To the extent permissible under applicable Law, to the extent that there is Indebtedness (i) owed by any of the Sold Companies to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Sold Companies) or (ii) owed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Sold Companies) to any of the Sold Companies (the “Intercompany Indebtedness”), all such Intercompany Indebtedness (including any interest in respect thereof) shall be paid and satisfied by the party that is the obligor thereof prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, Seller may, in its sole discretion, cause Cash of each Sold Company to be removed from such Sold Company by means of a dividend to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Sold Companies) to the extent permissible under applicable Law.

SECTION 5.16 Shared Contracts. To the extent that any Contract (other than Contracts set forth on Schedule 5.16) that is a Purchased Asset, or to which any Sold Company is a party, contains any right or obligation that relates to any business of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Sold Companies) other than the Business, including any right of the counterparty to set-off amounts owed to the Business or the Sold Companies against amounts owed to such counterparty by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Sold Companies) with respect to any of their businesses other than the Business, Parent, Seller and Buyer shall use their reasonable best efforts, including cooperating with the other party, to amend, modify or split such Contract such that the rights or obligations of such Contract to which such Sold Company is a party relate only to the Business or otherwise terminate or eliminate any such obligations prior to the Closing, or if not completed prior to Closing, as promptly as practicable thereafter. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Sold Companies) from and against all Losses arising out of, relating to or resulting from any such Contract to which any Sold Company is a party to the extent such Losses arise out of, relate to or result from any business of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Sold Companies) other than the Business. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against all Losses arising out of, relating to or resulting from any such Contract to which any Sold Company is a party to the extent such Losses arise out of, relate to or result from the Business.

(b) All Transfer Taxes applicable to the conveyance and transfer from Seller to Buyer of the Sold Interests, the Sold Companies or the Purchased Assets and any other transfer or documentary Taxes in connection therewith shall be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller.

Buyer shall reimburse Seller for up to $200,000 of such “tail” policy purchased pursuant to this Section 5.18(b).

(a) From and after the Closing until the 7^th anniversary of the Closing Date, upon reasonable notice, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Sold Companies to, furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent, Seller and their respective employees, counsel, auditors, other Representatives and advisors reasonable access (including the ability to make copies), during normal business hours, to such officers, management, employees, advisors, Representatives, properties, Business Records and books and records relating to the Sold Companies or the Business as is reasonably necessary for any reasonable purpose, including (i) financial reporting, Tax and accounting matters, (ii) defense or prosecution of any Proceeding and (iii) any other matter relating to or resulting from this Agreement or the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates is under any obligation to supply or disclose to Parent or Seller any information the disclosure of which Buyer believes in good faith would be reasonably likely to (I) jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or (II) violate any applicable Law or any confidentiality obligation of Buyer set forth in a Contract; provided, however, that Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with Parent and Seller use reasonable best efforts to design and implement alternative disclosure arrangements and, to the extent available, use such alternative disclosure arrangements to provide information, documents and access to Buyer and its Representatives in a manner that would not violate applicable Law, violate the confidentiality obligations of any Contract or cause the loss of attorney-client privilege with respect thereto.

provided that no such notification, nor the obligation to make such notification, shall affect any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification right or obligation of any party.

SECTION 5.28 Financing.

(a) Buyer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates (other than its Subsidiaries) to, take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange, obtain and consummate the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters (including the “market flex” provisions set forth in the Fee Letter) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, including to: (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letters on the terms and conditions contained therein (including, to the extent the same are exercised, the “market flex” provisions set forth in the Fee Letter) until the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated (it being understood that the Debt Commitment Letter may be replaced, amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time as provided below); (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained therein (including, to the extent the same are exercised, the “market flex” provisions set forth in the Fee Letter) or on other terms in the aggregate not less favorable; (iii) comply with their respective obligations under the Commitment Letter and satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain a waiver of) all conditions in the Commitment Letter; (iv) cause its senior management as well as appropriate Representatives of Guarantor and its Affiliates, if applicable, to cooperate with the marketing and/or syndication efforts of the Debt Financing Sources for all of the Debt Financing; (v) timely prepare the necessary offering circulars, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda or other offering documents or marketing materials with respect to the Financing; (vi) commence the marketing and/or syndication activities contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as promptly as practicable; (vii) enforce its rights under the Commitment Letters and (viii) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, including by causing the Debt Financing Sources to fund the Debt Financing at the Closing.

(b) Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, permit any material amendment, restatement, supplementation or modification to be made to, or any termination, rescission or withdrawal of, or any material waiver of any provision or remedy under, or assignment of the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements with respect thereto (such definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing, collectively, with the Debt Commitment Letter, the “Debt Documents”) or the Fee Letter, including any amendment, restatement, supplementation, modification or waiver that (individually or in the aggregate with any other amendments, restatements, supplementations, modifications or waivers) would reasonably be expected to (x) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing under any Debt Document (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount thereof) unless there is a corresponding increase in the Equity Financing, or (y) impose any new or additional conditions or contingencies, or otherwise amend, modify or expand any condition, to the receipt of any portion of the Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (I) delay or prevent the Closing, (II) make the funding of any portion of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of any condition to obtaining any portion of the Debt Financing) less likely to occur or (III) adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against any other party to any Debt Document, the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the likelihood of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition to the foregoing, Buyer shall not release or consent to the termination of the Debt Commitment Letter; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may modify, restate, supplement, amend or amend and restate the Debt Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents, co-agents, other agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof or to increase the amount of funds available thereunder. Buyer shall promptly deliver copies of any amendment, restatements, supplementation, modification or waiver of the Debt Commitment Letter to Seller. Buyer will fully pay, or cause to be fully paid, all commitment or other fees arising pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter as and when they become due. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter (including the “market flex” provisions set forth in the Fee Letter) and such portion is required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date, or if Buyer reasonably determines that such funds may become unavailable to Buyer on the terms and conditions set forth therein, Buyer shall as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event: (i) notify Seller in writing thereof; (ii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain an amount equal to such portion of the Debt Financing from alternative debt financing sources on terms and conditions not materially less favorable to Buyer (or its Affiliates), taken as a whole, than as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (taking into account the “market flex” provisions set forth in the Fee Letter) in an amount at least equal to the Debt Financing or such unavailable portion thereof, as the case may be; and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain a new financing commitment letter that provides for such alternative financing and, promptly after execution thereof, deliver to Seller true and complete copies of the new commitment letter and the related fee letters (provided, however, that the fee amounts, pricing caps and other economic terms, and the rates and amounts included in the “market flex” provisions (but not covenants), may be redacted, none of which redacted provisions would adversely affect the conditionality or aggregate principal amount of the Financing) and related definitive financing documents with respect to such alternative financing.

(c) Buyer shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after obtaining knowledge thereof, give Seller written notice of any: (i) breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to result in breach or default) related to the Financing by any party to the Commitment Letters of which Buyer becomes aware; (ii) if and when Buyer becomes aware that any portion of the Financing contemplated by any Commitment Letters may not be available for the financing purposes; (iii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Person with respect to any (1) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Commitment Letter or other Debt Document or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Commitment Letter or other Debt Document (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Financing or Debt Documents); (iv) of any expiration or termination of any Commitment Letter or other Debt Document; or (v) any change, circumstance or event which causes Buyer to believe in good faith that it shall not be able to timely obtain all or any material portion of the Financing in the amounts or from the sources contemplated by the Commitment Letters (and that Buyer will not be able to obtain acceptable alternate financing). Buyer shall keep Seller informed on a reasonably current basis upon request by Seller of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters, including providing copies of all definitive agreements related to the Financing to the extent requested by Seller.

(d) For the purposes of this Agreement, the definitions of “Debt Commitment Letter,” “Debt Financing” and “Financing” include the Debt Commitment Letter and any document related thereto as the same may be amended, waived, modified or replaced pursuant to this Section 5.28.

Subject to Buyer’s indemnification obligations under this Section 5.29, each of Parent and Seller hereby consents to the use of the Business’s and Sold Companies’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided, however, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is neither intended, nor reasonably likely, to harm or disparage Parent or Seller or the reputation or goodwill of Parent or Seller and their marks.

(b) Buyer shall: (i) promptly reimburse Parent, Seller and any of their Affiliates and Representatives for all of the documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Parent, Seller and any of their Affiliates and Representatives in connection with this Section 5.29; and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless Parent, Seller and any of their Affiliates and Representatives from and against all Losses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with (x) the arrangement of the Financing and any information used in connection therewith, including providing the cooperation contemplated by this Section 5.29 and (y) any misuse of the logos or marks of Parent or Seller.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including this Section 5.29), none of Parent, Seller or their Affiliates or Representatives shall: (i) be required to pay any commitment or other fee or reimburse any expenses in connection with the Financing; (ii) be required to incur any Liability for which it has not received prior reimbursement or is not otherwise indemnified by or on behalf of Buyer or give any indemnity in connection with the Financing; (iii) be required to take any action that would require any director, officer or employee of Parent, Seller or any Sold Company to execute, or be required to enter into, any document, agreement, certificate or instrument (other than with respect to any authorization letter described in this Section 5.29) in connection with the Financing except as may be effective at or after the Closing; (iv) be required to take any action in connection with the Financing that would unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operation of Parent, Seller or any of their Affiliates or Representatives; provided, that Parent, Seller or any Affiliate or Representative of Parent or Seller shall provide notice to Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources promptly upon obtaining knowledge that any such cooperation is being withheld and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such interference in order to permit the provision of such cooperation; (v) result in Parent, Seller or any of their Affiliates incurring any Liability with respect to the matters relating to the Financing or cause any director, officer or employee of Parent, Seller or any Sold Company to incur any personal liability in connection with the Financing; (vi) provide in connection with the Debt Financing any information the disclosure of which is prohibited or restricted under Law or is legally privileged; provided, that Parent, Seller or any Affiliate or Representative of Parent or Seller shall provide notice to Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources promptly upon obtaining knowledge that any such cooperation is being withheld and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such prohibition or restriction in order to permit the provision of such cooperation; (vii) the pre-Closing board of directors or board of managers of Parent, Seller and the directors, managers and general partners of the Sold Companies shall not be required to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Debt Financing is obtained, (viii) none of Parent, Seller or any Sold Company shall be required to take any corporate actions that are not conditioned upon the Closing to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing, and (ix) none of Parent, Seller or any Sold Company shall be required to provide, and Buyer shall be solely responsible for, (1) the preparation of pro forma financial information, including pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization or other pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any pro forma financial information, (2) any description of all or any component of the Debt Financing, including any such description to be included in any liquidity or capital resources disclosure or any “description of notes”, (3) projections, risk factors or other forward-looking statements relating to all or any component of the Debt Financing, (4) subsidiary financial statements or any other information of the type required by Rule 3-09, Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X, (5) Compensation Disclosure and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K, or (6) any solvency certificate or similar certification or representation.

SECTION 5.31 Insurance Matters.SECTION 5.32

(a) Prior to the date hereof, Parent has maintained insurance policies for benefit of itself, and its Affiliates covering certain liabilities relating to claims arising out of occurrences or acts occurring on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Insurance Coverage”). For a period of one year following the Closing Date, Parent agrees to take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to maintain Insurance Coverage after the Closing Date for the benefit of Buyer and not to voluntarily relinquish or terminate policies providing Insurance Coverage if doing so would adversely affect the availability of such Insurance Coverage. The availability of Insurance Coverage with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claim shall be subject in all respects to Parent’s applicable deductibles, retention and similar limits. To the extent that any claim arising out of any act, omission, occurrence, fact or circumstance existing or occurring on or prior to the Closing Date is made against Buyer and the Insurance Coverage by its terms applies to such claim (any such claim, an “Insurance Coverage Claim”), upon Buyer’s request, Parent shall submit such Insurance Coverage Claim upon becoming aware thereof to the insurer under the applicable insurance policy for potential payment and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the maximum recovery from the provider of the related Insurance Coverage. In addition, Parent agrees to cooperate with Buyer to make the benefits of the Insurance Coverage available to Buyer (subject to the terms and conditions of such Insurance Coverage) and continue, from and after the Closing Date, to process such Insurance Coverage Claims in the ordinary course of business in substantially the same manner as similar claims were processed prior to the Closing Date. In the event that Parent receives any proceeds of the Insurance Coverage with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claims thereunder and such claim has been paid by Buyer, Parent shall, or shall cause one if its Subsidiaries, to, promptly pay or reimburse Buyer with respect to the amount so paid by Buyer in accordance with this Section 5.31.

(b) Buyer acknowledges that effective as of the Closing Date, Parent intends to remove the Sold Companies, the assets of the Sold Companies and the Purchased Assets from the Insurance Coverage to the extent that the Insurance Coverage relates to any occurrences arising at any time after the Closing Date. Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that no Insurance Coverage shall be available to Buyer with respect to any injury, loss or damage that Buyer or any third party may suffer as a result of any act, omission, occurrence, fact or circumstance occurring with respect to any period after the Closing Date, and no assurance or representation is made or implied as to the availability of Insurance Coverage with respect to matters existing on or before Closing.

SECTION 5.32 UAE Arrangement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that:

(a) Following the date of this Agreement, the Business or Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent (including the Sold Companies), on behalf of the Business, is expected to submit a Government Bid with respect to the matter set forth on Schedule 5.32 (the “UAE Contract”), which may be awarded prior to, on or after the Closing Date. If the UAE Contract is awarded to the Business or Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent (including any of the Sold Companies), on behalf of the Business, Parent shall be entitled to, and Buyer shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) pay to Parent an amount (“UAE Royalties”) equal to five percent (5%) of all gross revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP and consistent with current accounting practices) paid to or on behalf of Buyer or its Subsidiaries (or accrued, to the extent that Buyer or its Subsidiaries elect to defer payments thereunder) under the UAE Contract with respect to each year within the initial five (5) year term of the UAE Contract (the “UAE Royalties Period”); provided, that the amount payable with respect to any period shall not exceed the Applicable Cap. “Applicable Cap” means, with respect to any period as to which payment hereunder is required, the following percentage of EBIT under the UAE Contract: thirty-three percent (33%) during the UAE Royalties Period. “EBIT” means earnings before interest and taxes, calculated in accordance with GAAP and consistent with current accounting practices.

(b) Buyer shall be reasonably consulted with respect to all material aspects of any proposed Government Bid for the UAE Contract. Parent and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries (including, prior to Closing, the Sold Companies) to, provide Buyer with reasonable access to all material information regarding, and reasonable support in reviewing, any proposed Government Bid for the UAE Contract. The parties agree that the officers of the Sold Companies shall have primary responsibility for, and shall take the lead in, scheduling and conducting any meeting or negotiation and defining the material terms thereof with respect to the UAE Contract; provided, that, Parent agrees to, and to cause its Subsidiaries (including the Sold Companies) to, consult with the Buyer reasonably in advance of taking any such action. The parties agree that, to the extent reasonably practicable and legally permissible, one of the Sold Companies shall be the Person that (i) submits any Government Bid with respect to the UAE Contract, and (ii) executes the UAE Contract on behalf of the Business (if the UAE Contract is awarded to the Business or Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent, on behalf of the Business). The terms of the final submission of any Government Bid for the UAE Contract and, if such Government Bid is successful, the terms of the definitive UAE Contract, will be subject to the prior review and approval of Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

(c) Buyer shall pay the UAE Royalties to Parent on a quarterly basis, with (i) the first payment thereof being due and payable within sixty (60) days following the end of the first calendar quarter in which gross revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP and consistent with current accounting practices) are received by Buyer or its Subsidiaries (or accrued as contemplated in Section 5.32 (a) above) pursuant to the UAE Contract and (ii) subsequent UAE Royalties payments being due and payable within sixty (60) days following the end of each calendar quarter thereafter during which gross revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP and consistent with current accounting practices) in respect of the UAE Royalties Period are received by Buyer or its Subsidiaries (or accrued as contemplated in Section 5.32(a) above).

(d) If the aggregate UAE Royalties paid for any calendar year during the UAE Royalties Period are greater than the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of all gross revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP and consistent with current accounting practices) paid to or on behalf of Buyer or its Subsidiaries (or accrued, to the extent that Buyer or its Subsidiaries elect to defer payments thereunder) under the UAE Contract with respect to such year, and (ii) the Applicable Cap (such lesser amount, the “Correct Royalty”), then Parent or Seller shall pay Buyer (to such account designated by Buyer) within fifteen (15) Business Days after the later of (1) the date of the final payment with respect to such calendar year during the UAE Royalties Period, and (2) the date Buyer provides written notice of a required payment under this Section 5.32(d), by wire transfer of immediately available funds in dollars, free and clear of any withholdings or other deductions, an amount in cash equal to (w) the aggregate UAE Royalties paid for such calendar year minus (x) the Correct Royalty (such amount, the “Excess Amount”); provided, that, if Buyer would otherwise be entitled to an Excess Amount payment, then Buyer may, at its option, satisfy such amount by setting off all or any portion of the Excess Amount against payment of any UAE Royalties to Seller for the final quarter of the applicable calendar year. If the aggregate UAE Royalties paid for any calendar year during the UAE Royalties Period are less than the Correct Royalty, then Buyer shall pay Seller (to such account designated by Seller) within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of the final payment with respect to such calendar year during the UAE Royalties Period, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in dollars, free and clear of any withholdings or other deductions, an amount in cash equal to (y) the Correct Royalty minus (z) the aggregate UAE Royalties paid for such calendar year.

(e) If requested by Parent at least 5 Business Days prior to the end of any calendar quarter during the term of the UAE Royalties Period, Buyer shall provide to Parent within thirty (30) days following the end of such calendar quarter Buyer’s good faith estimate of the UAE Royalties under the UAE Contract with respect to such calendar quarter. Buyer shall and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to permit Parent and its Representatives to examine the books and records of Buyer and its Subsidiaries with respect to the UAE Contract twice per calendar year during the UAE Royalties Period upon at least thirty (30) day’s advance written notice by Parent to permit Parent to verify the calculation of UAE Royalties due hereunder; provided, that no examination shall be conducted outside of normal business hours or in a manner that interferes unreasonably with Buyer’s or its Subsidiaries’ business. Except to the extent required by Law or as otherwise expressly permitted by Buyer in writing, each of Parent and Seller hereby agree that it will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, treat all information (written and oral) concerning the UAE Contract, whether received on, prior to or after the date of this Agreement and irrespective of the form of communication, as confidential, including by (i) keeping such information strictly confidential and not, without Buyer’s prior written consent, disclosing any such information in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part and (ii) not using such information other than in connection with its rights under this Section 5.32(e). The confidentiality obligations under this Section 5.32(e) shall survive until the second anniversary after the end of the UAE Royalties Period.

(f) Following the Closing, in the event the UAE Contract is awarded to the Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent (excluding any of the Sold Companies), on behalf of the Business, (i) the parties will work together in good faith to assign and transfer the UAE Contract to Buyer or its Subsidiaries and until such assignment and transfer is effected Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Buyer or its Subsidiaries the benefits thereof, provided, that, in any event Parent shall provide Buyer with all economic benefits under the UAE Contract, including by paying to Buyer all amounts received by Parent or its Subsidiaries under the UAE Contract (in each case, subject to this Section 5.32); (ii) Buyer and/or its Subsidiaries shall be deemed Parent’s agent for purposes of completing, fulfilling, and discharging Parent’s liabilities thereunder; and (iii) Buyer agrees that to the extent it receives the economic benefits under the UAE Contract it will pay, perform and discharge and diligently perform all requirements, and furnish all services and materials necessary to complete performance of the obligations, of the UAE Contract in good faith and otherwise in material compliance with the terms and conditions thereof and applicable Law, and, except in cases of bad faith, intentional breach or gross negligence of Parent or its Subsidiaries, indemnify Parent against and hold Parent harmless from, all obligations and liabilities relating to the performance or failure to perform under the UAE Contract. In addition, to govern the relationship of Parent and Buyer in relation to the UAE Contract until it is assigned and transferred to Buyer or its Subsidiaries, the parties shall enter into a Subcontract under which, to the extent permissible under Law, the Buyer or its Subsidiaries will perform for and in the place of the Parent any and all operations and provide any and all goods, equipment, services and other performance obligations under the UAE Contract, pursuant to its respective terms and conditions, including any and all amendments, options, modifications, purchase orders issued thereunder and such other terms and conditions as may have been duly incorporated in the UAE Contract.

(g) Without in any way limiting the obligations of the parties under this Section 5.32, no party hereto shall be under any obligation to submit any Government Bid with respect to the UAE Contract or make any other effort whatsoever to secure the UAE Contract.

(h) Neither the UAE Contract nor any of the rights and obligations thereunder may be assigned by (i) Buyer or its Subsidiaries to any Person unless, as a condition to such assignment or transfer, provision shall be made and Buyer shall require that the assignee or transferee shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.32 and in any event, no such assignment or transfer shall relieve Buyer and its Subsidiaries from their obligations under this Section 5.32, or (ii) Parent without the prior written consent of Buyer. Other than with respect to assignments to Affiliates, Parent may not assign its rights to the UAE Royalties payment without the prior written consent of Buyer. Any attempted assignment or transfer other than in compliance with the foregoing shall be null and void, ab initio, and of no force or effect.

(i) by mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer;

(ii) by either Seller or Buyer, if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction in the United States or in any of the jurisdictions set forth on Schedule 6.4 shall have issued an Order or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transactions and such Order or other action shall have become final and nonappealable;

(iii) by either Seller or Buyer, if the Closing does not occur on or prior to August 15, 2018 (as such date may be extended in accordance with this Section 8.1(a)(iii), the “Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(a)(iii) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date; provided, further, that Seller shall have the right to extend the Termination Date to August 31, 2018 in the event that Seller shall have delivered to Buyer, no later than August 7, 2018, the unaudited quarterly financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 referred to in paragraph 3(c) of Exhibit D to the Debt Commitment Letter.

(iv) by Seller, upon written notice to Buyer, if there shall have been a breach of any of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement on the part of Buyer or any of such representations and warranties shall have become untrue, in any case with respect to such representations, warranties, agreements or covenants, in a manner that would result in any conditions set forth in Article VI not being satisfied, such breach or inaccuracy has not been waived by Seller, and the breach or inaccuracy, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within thirty (30) days following Seller’s written notice of such breach or inaccuracy or is not capable of being cured on or prior to the Termination Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(a)(iv) shall not be available to Parent or Seller if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained herein;

(v) by Buyer, upon written notice to Seller, if there shall have been a breach of any of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement on the part of Parent or Seller or any of such representations and warranties shall have become untrue, in any case with respect to such representations, warranties, agreements or covenants, in a manner that would result in any conditions set forth in Article VII not being satisfied, such breach or inaccuracy has not been waived by Buyer, and the breach or inaccuracy, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within thirty (30) days following Buyer’s written notice of such breach or inaccuracy or is not capable of being cured on or prior to the Termination Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(a)(v) shall not be available to Buyer if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained herein; or

(vi) by Seller, if all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than any conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived by Buyer, Seller has irrevocably given notice to Buyer in writing that it is prepared to consummate the Closing, and Buyer fails to consummate the Closing on the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.8, or, if later, within two (2) Business Days after the delivery of such notice.

(b) In the event of termination by Seller or Buyer pursuant to this Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other and the Transactions shall be terminated, without further action by any party. If the Transactions are terminated as provided herein, Buyer shall return all documents and other material received from Seller relating to the Transactions, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, to Seller.

SECTION 8.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated and the Transactions are abandoned as described in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, without any Liability on the part of any party hereto or their respective directors, officers, employees, owners, Representatives or Affiliates, and the Transactions shall be abandoned without further action by the parties hereto, except for (i) the last sentence of Section 5.2 (Access) and (ii) each of Section 5.17 (Expenses; Transfer Taxes), Section 5.29(b) (Financing Cooperation), Section 8.1 (Termination), this Section 8.2 (Effect of Termination); Section 8.3 (Buyer Termination Payment) and Article X (Miscellaneous), each of which, shall survive such termination. Subject to Section 8.3, nothing in this Section 8.2, however, shall be deemed to release any party from any Liability for any willful breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement prior to termination. For purposes of this Section 8.2, “willful” shall mean a breach that is a consequence of an act undertaken by the breaching party with the knowledge (actual or constructive) that the taking of such act would, or would be reasonably expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.3 Buyer Termination Payment.

(a) If (i) Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iv) or Section 8.1(a)(vi), or (ii) Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iii) (provided, in the case of termination pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iii), that at the time of such termination, Seller would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement under either Section 8.1(a)(iv) or Section 8.1(a)(vi)), then within three (3) Business Days following the date of termination in the case of a termination by Seller, and concurrently with and as a condition to termination, in the case of a termination by Buyer, Buyer will pay to Seller or the Company, as directed by Seller, a fee equal to $27,000,000 (the “Buyer Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller.

(b) The parties acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall Buyer be required to pay the Buyer Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(c) The parties acknowledge and hereby agree that the Buyer Termination Fee, if, as and when required to be paid pursuant to this Section 8.3, shall not constitute a penalty but will be liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent, Seller and the Sold Companies under the circumstances for their efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. In furtherance of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary but subject to Section 10.17, upon payment of the Buyer Termination Fee in accordance with the terms hereof, Seller’s right to receive or direct the payment of the Buyer Termination Fee to the extent provided in Section 8.3(a) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent, Seller, the Sold Companies and any of their respective Affiliates against Buyer, the Guarantor, the Debt Financing Sources, and each of their respective former, current, or future directors, officers, employees, agents, general and limited partners, managers, members, equityholders, Affiliates and assignees, and each former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, equityholder, general or limited partner, manager, member, equityholder, Affiliate or assignee of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Specified Parties”) for any Losses suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or for any alleged breach of the Commitment Letters, and no Specified Party shall have any other liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, in each case, whether based on contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable Proceeding, by virtue of any Law or otherwise and whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of a party hereto to another Person or otherwise.

(d) The parties acknowledge and hereby agree that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Buyer fails to pay any amounts due pursuant to this Section 8.3, and, in order to obtain such payment, Seller commences an action, suit or proceeding that results in a judgment against Buyer for the amounts set forth in this Section 8.3, Buyer shall pay to Seller its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such action, suit or proceeding together with interest on the amounts due pursuant to this Section 8.3 from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 9.1 Survival. The representations and warranties contained in Article III (other than Section 3.11 related to Taxes, the survival of which is provided in Section 5.6(e)) and Article IV shall survive the Closing and shall terminate one (1) year after the Closing Date. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall terminate on the Closing Date, unless a specific covenant or agreement requires performance after the Closing Date, in which case such covenant or agreement shall survive for a period of thirty (30) days following the date on which the performance of such covenant or agreement is required to be completed.

SECTION 9.2 Indemnification by Seller.

(a) Following the Closing, subject to the terms of this Article IX, each of Parent and Seller agrees to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Sold Companies) and their respective successors, permitted assigns, equityholders, officers, directors, employees, Representatives, members, partners and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) from and against, without duplication, any Losses incurred or suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Person arising out of, relating to or resulting from (i) any breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Parent and Seller in Article III of this Agreement; (ii) any breach of any of the covenants or agreements of Parent and Seller in this Agreement; (iii) the Retained Liabilities (except those Liabilities described in Section 2.5(a)(vi) the indemnity of which is provided for in Section 5.6); and (iv) the Liabilities set forth on Schedule 9.2(a)(iv).

(b) The obligation of Parent and Seller to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Persons for Losses with respect to the matters contained in Section 9.2(a) other than Sections 9.2(a)(ii) – (iv) is subject to the following limitations: (i) neither Parent nor Seller shall be required to provide indemnification to any Buyer Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i), unless the aggregate amount of Losses incurred or suffered by Buyer Indemnified Persons from the matters contained in Section 9.2(a)(i) exceeds one half of one percent (0.5%) of the Initial Purchase Price (the “Deductible”), and then Buyer Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification for only the amount in excess of the Deductible; and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which Parent and Seller are obligated to indemnify Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) exceed one half of one percent (0.5%) of the Initial Purchase Price (the “Cap”). In addition to the foregoing limitations, in no event shall Parent’s and Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 9.2(a) exceed, in the aggregate, the Final Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, except for the previous sentence, none of the limitations set forth in this Section 9.2(b) shall apply to claims for indemnification under Section 5.6(a) or Sections 9.2(a)(ii) – (iv) or claims arising out of or relating to a breach of the Seller Fundamental Representations.

(c) If applicable, any Losses that the Buyer Indemnified Persons are entitled to recover pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) for any inaccuracy or breach of Seller Fundamental Representations shall be satisfied in the following order of recovery: (i) first, directly from Parent and/or Seller, solely to the extent, and in the amount of, the remaining retention (if any) under the buyer-side representations and warranties insurance policy purchased by Buyer in connection with this Agreement (the “R&W Policy”), subject to the other limitations set forth in this Section 9.2, (ii) second, from the R&W Policy, solely to the extent that any such Losses are covered under the R&W Policy (subject to the terms and conditions of the R&W Policy), and (iii) third, directly from Parent and/or Seller, solely to the extent that (A) the limit of liability under the R&W Policy has been fully exhausted or (B) any such Losses are not otherwise covered under the R&W Policy, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Section 9.2.

SECTION 9.3 Indemnification by Buyer.

(a) Following the Closing, subject to the terms of this Article IX, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Sold Companies) and their respective successors, permitted assigns, equityholders, officers, directors, employees, Representatives, members, partners and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons” and, together with the Buyer Indemnified Persons, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any Losses incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnified Person arising out of, relating to or resulting from (i) any breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Buyer in Article IV of this Agreement; (ii) any breach of any of the covenants or agreements of Buyer in this Agreement; (iii) any Assumed Liability; and (iv) the ownership, use or possession of the Sold Companies and Sold Interests.

(b) The obligation of Buyer to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Persons for Losses with respect to the matters contained in Section 9.3(a) other than Sections 9.3(a)(ii) – (iii) is subject to the following limitations: (i) Buyer shall not be required to provide indemnification to any Seller Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(i), unless the aggregate amount of Losses incurred or suffered by Seller Indemnified Persons from the matters contained in Section 9.3(a)(i) exceeds the Deductible, and then Seller Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification for only the amount in excess of the Deductible; and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which Buyer is obligated to indemnify Seller Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(i) exceed the Cap. In addition to the foregoing limitations, in no event shall Buyer’s indemnification obligations under Section 9.3(a) exceed, in the aggregate, the Final Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, except for the previous sentence, none of the limitations set forth in this Section 9.3(b) shall apply to claims for indemnification with respect to Buyer Fundamental Representations or under Section 9.3(a)(ii) – (iv).

SECTION 9.4 Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a party hereto in respect of a breach of representation or warranty, covenant or agreement shall terminate on the applicable survival termination date (as set forth in Section 9.1), unless an Indemnified Party shall have incurred a Loss prior to such applicable survival termination date and made an Indemnification Claim (as defined below) pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3, subject to the terms and conditions of Article IX, prior to such termination date, as applicable, including by delivering a Claims Notice (as defined below) to the Indemnifying Party (as defined below). If an Indemnified Party has made a proper Indemnification Claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 prior to such termination date, then such claim for such Loss incurred (and only such claim for such Loss incurred), if then unresolved, shall not be extinguished by the passage of the deadlines set forth in Section 9.1.

SECTION 9.5 Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(a) An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the party or parties obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the Indemnified Party first becomes aware of any event or other facts (including any Third Party Claim) that has resulted or that might result in any Loss for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to any indemnification under Section 9.2 and Section 9.3, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IX (such claim, an “Indemnification Claim”), and such Claim Notice shall contain (i) a reasonably detailed description and, if known, the estimated amount of any Loss incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party together with such supporting documents reasonably available to such Indemnified Party, (ii) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Indemnification Claim to the extent of the facts then known by the Indemnified Party, and (iii) a demand for payment of such Loss; provided, that failure to give such notification shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the Indemnifying Party shall respond within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt thereof (the “Claim Response”). Any Claim Response must specify whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the Indemnification Claim described in the Claim Notice and the basis of such dispute. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 20 Business Days following its receipt of such Claim Notice that such Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article IX, such Indemnification Claim specified in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a Loss of the Indemnifying Party under this Article IX and the amount specified in the Claim Notice shall be payable by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Indemnification Claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Indemnification Claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim through the delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith a resolution of such dispute and, if not timely resolved through negotiations within 20 days after the conclusion of the twenty (20) Business Day response period, such dispute shall be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 10.14. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the decision of a court of competent jurisdiction shall be final and binding not be subject to appeal.

(d) Any amounts payable by Parent, Seller or Buyer to the Indemnified Party as so finally determined shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days after such final determination.

SECTION 9.6 Notice and Opportunity to Defend. If there occurs an indemnifiable event which involves any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding by a third Person, including any Governmental Authority (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party will give such Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such Third Party Claim or the commencement thereof. The failure to provide prompt notice as provided herein will relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only if, and to the extent that, such failure actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party hereunder. In the event that an action is brought against an Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof pursuant to this Section 9.6, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) if (a) the Third Party Claim relates primarily to any criminal Proceeding, indictment, allegation or investigation, (b) the Third Party Claim primarily seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (c) the Losses relating to the Third Party Claim are reasonably likely to exceed the maximum amount that the Indemnified Party could then be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party under the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (d) the Third Party Claim is one in which the Indemnifying Party is also a party and, based upon the advice of counsel, joint representation would be inappropriate or there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of such election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party hereunder for any legal costs or expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Article IX. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree to cooperate fully with each other and their respective counsel in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such action or asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim as contemplated hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in (but not control) at its own expense in the defense of such action or asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of an action, no settlement or compromise thereof may be effected (i) by the Indemnifying Party without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (A) the settlement seeks only monetary relief and all such relief provided is paid or satisfied in full by the Indemnifying Party, (B) the settlement or compromise provides for a full release by the party of the Indemnified Party with respect to the claim(s) being settled and (C) the settlement or compromise does not contain any admission of finding or wrongdoing on behalf of the Indemnified Party or (ii) by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. Except as contemplated hereunder, in no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for any settlement or compromise effected without its prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give a Claim Notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, (1) the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and (2) the Indemnifying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making officers, directors, employees and agents of the Indemnified Party available on a mutually convenient basis to provide information, testimony at depositions, hearings or trials, and such other assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.

SECTION 9.7 Tax Indemnity. Indemnification with respect to Tax matters (including breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.11 of this Agreement or the covenants set forth in Section 5.5 of this Agreement) shall be governed exclusively by Section 5.5, Section 5.6, Section 5.7 and Section 5.8.

SECTION 9.8 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article IX shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

SECTION 9.9 Additional Limitations.

(a) The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or any Closing Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(b) In respect of any Loss for which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Article IX, nothing herein shall relieve an Indemnified Party from its duty to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that may be indemnifiable hereunder. If an Indemnified Party receives a payment in respect of Losses after the Indemnifying Party has paid the Indemnified Party under any indemnification provision of this Agreement in respect of such Losses, the Indemnified Party must promptly notify the Indemnifying Party and promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the extent of such payment (less the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs of mitigation) within five (5) Business Days after receipt. An Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as applicable, will be reduced by the amount paid by a third party (including an insurance company or any third party owing an indemnification or similar obligation to the Indemnified Party), or paid by such third party to another for the account or benefit of Parent, Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, with respect to the settlement or resolution of a claim for which Parent, Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, was entitled to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue recovery from such third parties and under all insurance policies (or similar obligations) available to it in good faith and shall remit to the Indemnifying Party any such insurance or other third party proceeds that are paid to the Indemnified Parties with respect to Losses for which such Indemnified Parties have been previously compensated pursuant to Section 9.2.

(c) The amount of any and all Losses shall be determined net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Losses, in each case, net of costs of collection resulting from making any claim thereunder and (ii) any Tax Benefits.

(d) With respect to indemnification claims made under Section 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.3(a)(i), for purposes of determining breach and calculating the amount of any Losses attributable to any such breach, inaccuracy or noncompliance, except in the case of Section 3.10(b), all references to “material,” “materiality,” “material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect” and similar qualifications shall be disregarded.

(e) In connection with the Retained Liability set forth in Section 2.5(a)(xiii), Buyer agrees (i) to reasonably cooperate with Parent, Seller and any of their respective Subsidiaries and to take all other reasonable actions, including to provide Parent, Seller and any of their respective Subsidiaries with reasonable access to the Owned Real Property in Crestview, FL (“Crestview Property”) at the sole expense of Parent, Seller or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, following reasonable advance notice from Parent, Seller or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, (ii) to make all reasonable omissions, including to not conduct and to not solicit or importune any Governmental Authority to require any excavation, investigation, sampling or testing of soil or groundwater at the Crestview Property unless (A) upon Buyer’s good faith reliance on advice of legal counsel that is reasonably acceptable to Seller (Jones Day being deemed to be legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller), required by Environmental Law, including any Permit required under Environmental Law, (B) required by any Order or demand of a Governmental Authority, or (C) reasonably necessary to address a potential imminent or substantial threat to human health or the environment, and (iii) that any environmental investigation, remediation and monitoring obligations at the Crestview Property under Section 2.5(a)(xiii) shall be limited to that which is necessary to comply with the commercially reasonable least stringent standards under Environmental Law consistent with commercially reasonable cost-effective methods to achieve such standards (including commercially reasonable deed restrictions), provided that such standards, methods and restrictions shall not materially interfere with or prohibit any industrial or commercial operations at the Crestview Property as currently conducted, and further provided that such standards, methods and restrictions are acceptable to applicable Governmental Authorities and are sufficient to comply with applicable Laws, Orders and Permits. Parent, Seller and any of their respective Subsidiaries shall provide Buyer with a reasonable opportunity at Buyer’s sole expense to (x) review and comment on (such review and comment not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) Parent’s, Seller’s and any of their respective Subsidiaries’ material work plans, reports, and similar submittals to Governmental Authorities and Parent, Seller and any of their respective Subsidiaries will consider in good faith any comments proposed by Buyer, and (y) to participate in substantive meetings between Parent, Seller and any of their respective Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Governmental Authorities, on the other hand, concerning matters addressed in Section 2.5(a)(xiii).

SECTION 9.10 Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to (a) claims for fraud, (b) disputes related to the Purchase Price adjustments in Article II (which shall be governed exclusively by Article II) or (c) claims for Taxes under Section 5.6, the indemnification provisions contained in this Article IX, subject to the limitations set forth herein, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to any party in connection with any Losses arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the Transactions following the Closing. The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 9.10 shall limit or restrict the ability or right of any party hereto to seek injunctive or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 10.17 for any breach or alleged breach of any provision of Article II, Article V, Article IX or Article X of this Agreement; provided, that any procedures in respect of and limitations on Losses or Liabilities in this Article IX, to the extent applicable, shall in no event be diminished or circumvented by such relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, except as contemplated by this Section 9.10, the Indemnified Parties may not avoid any limitation on Liability by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of Liability, all of which are hereby waived. The parties hereto agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on the remedies hereunder with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions (including Section 9.2 and Section 9.4) were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to Seller hereunder.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 10.1 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims, disputes, controversies or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit hereto) or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim, dispute, controversy or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws, and not the Laws governing conflicts of Laws (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law), of the State of New York.

SECTION 10.2 No Recourse to Debt Financing Parties. Each of Parent and Seller agrees, on behalf of it and its Affiliates and each of their and their Affiliates’ respective former, current or future members, equityholders, controlling Persons, agents and Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) that the Debt Financing Parties shall not be subject to any liability or claims to the Seller Parties in connection with the Debt Financing or in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.2 shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement or any Debt Financing Source’s obligations to the Buyer under the Debt Commitment Letter.

SECTION 10.3 Materiality; Disclosure Schedules. As used in this Agreement, unless the context would require otherwise, the term “material” and the concept of the “material” nature of an effect upon the Sold Companies or the Business shall be measured relative to the Sold Companies, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, taken as a whole, as the Business is currently being conducted. There have been included in the Seller Disclosure Schedule or the Buyer Disclosure Schedule and may be included elsewhere in this Agreement items which are not “material” within the meaning of the immediately preceding sentence for informational purposes and in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and such inclusion shall not be deemed to be an agreement by Parent, Seller or Buyer that such items are “material” or to further define the meaning of such term for purposes of this Agreement. With respect to the Seller Disclosure Schedule and Buyer Disclosure Schedule hereto, the disclosures made on any Schedule with respect to any representation or warranty shall be deemed to be made with respect to any other representation or for which the applicability of such information and disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face.

SECTION 10.4 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by Parent, Seller and Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 10.4, Section 8.3, Section 9.10, Section 10.1, Section 10.2, Section 10.6, Section 10.13, Section 10.14, Section 10.15 and Section 10.17(c) (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent a modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of any of the foregoing provisions) may not be modified, waived or terminated in a manner that is material and adverse to a Debt Financing Source, without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Source.

SECTION 10.5 Waiver. Any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, which may be lawfully waived, may be waived in writing at any time by each party which is entitled to the benefits thereof. Any waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any party hereto shall be binding only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of such party. No failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of such provision and no waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

SECTION 10.6 Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable by Buyer, Parent or Seller (including by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, the Buyer may assign any rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement (i) to any Debt Financing Source or any party providing bona fide debt financing to Buyer or its Affiliates as collateral security and (ii) to any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of any Person, all of the equity interests of which are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Guarantor, in each case without the consent of the other parties hereto; provided that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 10.7 Notices. Any notice, demand, or communication required or permitted to be given by any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes if (a) personally delivered to the recipient at the address below, (b) sent by an internationally recognized overnight courier service to the recipient at the address below indicated or (c) delivered by facsimile or electronic mail (with written confirmation of receipt) to the recipient at the facsimile number or electronic mail address, as the case may be, specified below:

SECTION 10.8 Complete Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Closing Agreements and the Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes hereto contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that to the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby, this Agreement shall govern and control.

SECTION 10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and each of which shall be deemed an original.

SECTION 10.10 Publicity; Confidentiality.

(a) Parent, Seller and Buyer will consult with each other and will mutually agree upon any publication or press release of any nature with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions and shall not issue any such publication or press release prior to such consultation and agreement except as may be required by applicable Law or by any securities exchange, in which case the party proposing to issue such publication or press release shall make reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other party or parties and to provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such publication or press release before issuing any such publication or press release and shall provide a copy thereof to the other party or parties prior to such issuance. The parties agree that any Securities and Exchange Commission filing to be made in respect of the execution of this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Transactions shall be in the form agreed to by Parent, Seller and Buyer.

(b) Except, and to the extent, as may be requested or required by applicable Law (including securities laws of any jurisdiction and rules and regulations of any applicable securities exchange) or legal, judicial or regulatory process, from and after the date of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall each keep confidential and not directly or indirectly disclose to any third Person (other than its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, advisors, agents and other Representatives, provided, that they shall be instructed to keep confidential) the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Closing Agreements.

(c) For a period of three (3) years, from the Closing Date, each of Parent and Seller shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, (i) treat all information relating to Buyer, the Sold Companies, the Purchased Assets or the Business as confidential, preserve the confidentiality thereof, and not use or disclose to any Person such information (except as expressly permitted by this Agreement and the other Closing Agreements) and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to cause its directors, officers, employees, Representatives or other agents who have had access to such information to keep it confidential and not to use or disclose to any Person any such information (except as expressly permitted by this Agreement and the other Closing Agreements); provided, however, that, all such information that constitutes trade secrets of the Sold Companies that (A) relate exclusively to the Business and (B) are maintained by Parent and Seller as trade secrets as of the Closing Date, shall be subject to the foregoing requirements for as long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable Law. If the disclosure of such information is required by Law or by rules and regulations promulgated by a listing exchange, each of Parent and Seller shall cooperate with and provide Buyer with an opportunity to object to the disclosure and shall give Buyer as much prior written notice as is possible under the circumstances. Each of Parent and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to any such information required by Law or such rules and regulations to be disclosed.

(d) The provisions of Section 10.10(c) shall not apply to any information that is (i) generally available to the public or becomes available to the public through no fault of the receiving party; (ii) developed independently of and without reference to the information relating to the other party; (iii) received from a third party who had a legal right to disclose such information without restriction; or (iv) disclosed pursuant to applicable Law or Order.

SECTION 10.11 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.12 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction; provided that the parties intend that the remedies and limitations thereon (including provisions that, subject to the terms and limitations set forth in Section 10.17(c), payment of the Buyer Termination Fee be the exclusive remedy for the recipient thereof and the limitation on liabilities of the Specified Person) contained in Section 8.3 and Section 10.17(c) be construed as an integral provision of this Agreement and that such remedies and limitations shall not be severable in any manner that increases a party’s liability or obligations hereunder or under the Financing or the Buyer Guarantee.

SECTION 10.13 Third Parties. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, other than (a) the parties hereto and their permitted successors or assigns, (b) Section 5.6, which is intended to benefit the Persons specified therein, (c) Article IX, this Section 10.13, Section 10.14 and Section 10.15, which the Indemnified Parties shall be express third party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to rely on and enforce, (d) the D&O Indemnified Parties as set forth in Section 5.18; provided, however, that the parties specifically acknowledge that the Debt Financing Sources are intended third party beneficiaries of the provisions of this Section 10.13, Section 8.3, Section 9.10, Section 10.1, Section 10.2, Section 10.4, Section 10.6, Section 10.14, Section 10.15 and Section 10.17(c), in each case, to the extent contemplated thereby, and (e) Section 8.3, which is intended to benefit the Specified Parties.

SECTION 10.14 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in the borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, or if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the parties further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document to such party’s respective address listed above in one of the manners set forth in Section 10.7 hereof shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Person to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. No party hereto, nor any of its Affiliates, shall bring, or support, any Proceeding, whether at Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Debt Financing Source in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter, the Debt Financing or the definitive agreements executed in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, anywhere other than in: (a) any New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan; or (b) if under applicable Law, exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and each party hereto agrees (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) that the laws of the State of New York shall govern any such Action and submits for itself and its property with respect to any such Action to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforementioned courts in this Section 10.14.

SECTION 10.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING IN ANY COURT RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CLOSING AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY SCHEDULE, ANNEX OR EXHIBIT HERETO AND THERETO) OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF SUCH AGREEMENTS OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OF SUCH AGREEMENTS.

SECTION 10.16 Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of Parent or Seller to Buyer under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled completely by an Affiliate of Seller, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by Parent or Seller.

SECTION 10.17 Enforcement of Agreement.

(a) Each party acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the Closing, the other party would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by Parent and Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which any party may be entitled at law or in equity, before or after the Closing each party shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking. Each of the parties hereto further agrees that it shall not object to, or take any position inconsistent with respect to, whether in a court of Law or otherwise, (i) the appropriateness of the specific performance contemplated by this Section 10.17 and (ii) the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts set forth in Section 10.14 hereof with respect to any action brought for any such remedy.

(b) Each party further agrees that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.17, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such party under this Agreement or the Buyer Guarantee or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 10.17 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 10.17 shall require any party to institute any action for (or limit any party’s right to institute any action for) specific performance under this Section 10.17 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VIII, nor shall the commencement of any action pursuant to this Section 10.17 or anything set forth in this Section 10.17 restrict or limit any such party’s right to terminate this Agreement or the Buyer Guarantee in accordance with Article VIII or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that neither Parent nor Seller shall be entitled to seek specific performance to cause Buyer to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to consummate the Closing in accordance with Article II unless (i) all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than any conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived by Buyer at the time the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.8 and Buyer fails to complete the Closing on the date the Closing is required to have occurred, (ii) the financing provided for by the Debt Commitment Letter has been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing and (iii) each of Parent and Seller has confirmed in writing that, if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then each of Parent and Seller will take all such actions in its power to cause the Closing to occur.

SECTION 10.18 Construction; Cooperation. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any language from prior drafts of this Agreement, to the extent not included in the definitive version of this Agreement executed by the parties hereto, shall not be deemed to reflect the intention of any party hereto, or otherwise serve as parole evidence of any kind, with respect to the Transactions.
