(the “Equity Investor”) has delivered to Seller (1) an equity commitment letter dated the date hereof, attached hereto as Exhibit A (together with all amendments, exhibits, attachments, appendices and schedules thereto as of the date hereof, the “Equity Commitment Letter”), relating to the commitment of the Equity Investor, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, to provide Buyer with equity financing in the amount set forth therein (such financing, the “Equity Financing”) for the purpose of investing in Buyer, directly or indirectly, the cash amounts set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”) for the purposes of funding the transactions contemplated hereby and (2) a limited guaranty dated as of the date hereof (together with all amendments, exhibits, attachments, appendices and schedules thereto as of the date hereof, the “Guaranty”) attached hereto as Exhibit B in favor of Seller for the purpose of guaranteeing the obligations of the Buyer to pay the Termination Fee on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8.02(b) of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the respective board of managers or directors or other governing bodies, as applicable, of Seller, the Company and Buyer have approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties, conditions and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF INTERESTS

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Interests. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller will sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase and acquire from Seller, all of the Interests, free and clear of all Liens, in exchange for the Estimated Purchase Price.

1.2 Calculation of Closing and Final Consideration.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Estimated Purchase Price” means an amount equal to the Enterprise Value, plus the total amount of Estimated Cash, minus the outstanding amount of Estimated Indebtedness, minus the unpaid Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses, plus the amount, if any, of the Estimated Net Working Capital Excess, minus the amount, if any, of the Estimated Net Working Capital Deficit, minus the amount of the Escrow Amount, and minus the Expense Fund Amount.

(b) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to Buyer a statement, executed by the chief financial officer of the Company or other similar officer (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), which (i) sets forth the Company’s good faith estimate of (A) the aggregate amount of Cash as of the Closing Effective Time (the “Estimated Cash”); (B) the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness as of the Closing (the “Estimated Indebtedness”); (C) the aggregate amount of Seller Transaction Expenses as of the Closing (the “Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses”); (D) the Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), including the amount of any Estimated Net Working Capital Excess or Estimated Net Working Capital Deficit; and (ii) includes reasonably detailed calculations, data, and schedules supporting the computation of the amounts contained therein and is prepared and calculated in accordance with Section 1.02(g). During the period from the Seller’s delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement until the Closing, Seller will, and will cause the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) assist Buyer and its representatives in the review of the Estimated Closing Statement and provide Buyer and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), supporting data, facilities, representatives and employees of the Relevant Entities for purposes of their review of the Estimated Closing Statement, and (ii) cooperate with Buyer and its representatives in connection with such review, including providing on a reasonably timely basis all other information necessary in connection with the review of the Estimated Closing Statement as is reasonably requested by Buyer or its representatives. Buyer shall have the right to suggest changes to the Estimated Closing Statement and Seller shall in good faith consider and reflect any such changes.

(c) No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will deliver to Seller a statement, executed by the chief financial officer or other similar officer of Buyer or an Affiliate thereof (together, the “Closing Statement”), which (i) sets forth Buyer’s good faith estimate of (A) the aggregate amount of Cash as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Final Cash”); (B) the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Final Indebtedness”); (C) the aggregate amount of Seller Transaction Expenses as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Final Seller Transaction Expenses”); and (D) the Net Working Capital (the “Final Net Working Capital”), including the amount of any Final Net Working Capital Excess or Final Net Working Capital Deficit; and (ii) includes reasonably detailed calculations, data, and schedules supporting the computation of the amounts contained therein and is prepared and calculated in accordance with Section 1.02(g). In the event Buyer fails to deliver a Closing Statement in accordance with this Section 1.02(c), the Estimated Closing Statement will be deemed to be the Closing Statement for the purposes of this Section 1.02.

(d) During the period from Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Statement until final determination of the Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final Seller Transaction Expenses, and Final Net Working Capital (including any Final Net Working Capital Excess or Final Net Working Capital Deficit), Buyer will, and will cause the Relevant Entities to, (i) assist Seller and its representatives in the review of the Closing Statement and provide Seller and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the relevant books, records, supporting data, representatives and relevant employees of the Relevant Entities for purposes of their review of the Closing Statement, and (ii) cooperate in good faith with Seller and its representatives in connection with such review, including providing on a timely basis all the information and materials necessary or otherwise reasonably requested by Seller or its representatives in connection with the review of the Closing Statement. If Seller has any objections to the Closing Statement, Seller will deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”), which statement will identify in reasonable detail those items and amounts to which Seller objects and the rationale for such objections (the “Disputed Items”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Buyer within sixty (60) days after delivery of the Closing Statement or the Seller accepts the Closing Statement in writing, the Closing Statement, including the calculations of Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final Seller Transaction Expenses, and Final Net Working Capital (including any Final Net Working Capital Excess or Final Net Working Capital Deficit) determined pursuant to Section 1.02(c), will be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties; provided, that, in the event Buyer or any Relevant Entity does not provide any reasonably requested papers or documents necessary for Seller’s review of the Closing Statement within ten (10) days of the request therefor, so long as such request was made within fifty (50) days of the delivery of the Closing Statement, such sixty (60)-day period will be extended by the greater of (A) one (1) day for each additional day required for Buyer or any Relevant Entity to respond to such request in all material respects and (B) 10 calendar days. Seller and Buyer will negotiate in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items, and all such discussions related thereto will (unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state statute. If they resolve their differences over the Disputed Items, Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final Seller Transaction Expenses, and Final Net Working Capital (including any Final Net Working Capital Excess or Final Net Working Capital Deficit) shall be the amounts agreed upon by them. If they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement to Buyer, Seller and Buyer will submit any unresolved Disputed Items to Riveron Consulting, LP, or if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve, such other independent national accounting, consulting or valuation firm mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller (the “Accounting Expert”). In the event the parties submit any unresolved Disputed Items to the Accounting Expert, each party may submit its final position in writing with respect to each of the Disputed Items (which in the case of each party may be a position that, with respect to the unresolved Disputed Items (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any other items), is different than (but not more favorable to the submitting party than) the Closing Statement initially submitted to Seller or the Objections Statement delivered to Buyer, as applicable) together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate, to the Accounting Expert within thirty (30) days after the date on which such unresolved Disputed Items were submitted to the Accounting Expert for resolution, it being agreed that the parties will make their respective submission contemporaneously, and with a copy to the other party. Seller and Buyer will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Expert to resolve such Disputed Items as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Accounting Expert receives the submissions prepared by Seller and Buyer. Seller and Buyer will not engage in any ex parte communications with the Accounting Expert. Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Accounting Expert to review only those unresolved Disputed Items. The Accounting Expert will resolve such disputes; provided, however, that Accounting Expert shall act solely as an expert, and not as an arbitrator, and shall not determine an amount of any item of any party’s submission greater than the highest amount or less than the lowest amount of such item claimed by the parties. Each of Buyer and Seller agree that it shall not have any right to, and shall not, institute any Action of any kind challenging such determination or with respect to the matters that are the subject of this Section 1.02, except that the foregoing shall not preclude an Action to enforce such determination. In the event any dispute is submitted to the Accounting Expert for resolution as provided in Section 1.02, the fees, charges and expenses of the Accounting Expert shall be allocated and be paid by Buyer, on the one hand, and/or Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the disputes not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if Seller claims that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Buyer and if the Accounting Expert ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding to Seller $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Expert will be allocated 30% (i.e., 300 ÷ 1,000) to Buyer and 70% (i.e., 700 ÷ 1,000) to Seller. The Accounting Expert’s final calculations of (i) Final Cash shall be deemed the Final Cash, (ii) Final Indebtedness shall be deemed the Final Indebtedness, (iii) Final Seller Transaction Expenses shall be deemed the Final Seller Transaction Expenses, and (iv) Final Net Working Capital shall be deemed the Final Net Working Capital (including any Final Net Working Capital Excess or Final Net Working Capital Deficit).

(e) Within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final Seller Transaction Expenses, and Final Net Working Capital (including any Final Net Working Capital Excess or Final Net Working Capital Deficit):

(i) if the Net Adjustment Amount is positive, then (A) Buyer will pay an amount equal to such excess to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds up to the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller, and (B) Buyer and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the remainder, if any, of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, to an account or accounts designated by Seller;

(ii) if the Net Adjustment Amount is negative, then Buyer and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay (A) to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such shortfall from (and up to the amount of) the Adjustment Escrow Funds to an account or accounts designated by Buyer, and (B) to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the remainder, if any, of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, to an account or accounts designated by Seller; and

(iii) if the Net Adjustment Amount is zero, then Buyer and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Adjustment Escrow Funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall have no liability under this Section 1.02(e) in excess of the Adjustment Escrow Funds.

(f) All payments required pursuant to Section 1.02(d) and Section 1.02(e) will be deemed to be adjustments for Tax purposes to the Estimated Purchase Price to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(g) The Estimated Closing Statement and the Closing Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the definitions of the terms Cash, Indebtedness, Seller Transaction Expenses, and Net Working Capital, and, in respect of Net Working Capital, calculated in a manner consistent with the Agreed Accounting Principles. The Estimated Closing Statement and the Closing Statement will entirely disregard any and all effects on the assets or Liabilities of the Company as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Buyer or any other transaction entered into by Buyer in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Closing Statement will be based solely on facts and circumstances as they exist as of the Closing and will exclude the effect of any fact, event, change, circumstance, act, development or decision occurring after the Closing. The parties agree that the purpose of preparing and calculating the Net Working Capital hereunder is to measure changes in Net Working Capital without the introduction of new or different accounting methods, policies, practices, procedures, classifications, judgments or estimation methodologies except as specifically set forth in the Agreed Accounting Principles.

(h) The process set forth in this Section 1.02 shall be the exclusive remedy of the parties for any disputes related to items to the extent reflected on the Closing Statement; provided, however, in no event shall any party be entitled to any duplicative recovery as a result of the rights and remedies afforded herein.

1.3 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of McGuireWoods LLP, located at 77 W. Wacker Drive, Suite 3100, Chicago, Illinois 60601, or remotely via electronic exchange of documents and signatures, on the third (3rd) Business Day following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article II (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) or such other date and place as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree; provided, however, that the Closing shall not occur before the day that is thirty-five (35) days from the date hereof unless Buyer provides notice in writing to Seller of the waiver of such thirty-five day period. The date of the Closing is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” The Closing will be deemed to occur at 12:01 a.m. central time on the Closing Date (the “Closing Effective Time”).

1.4 Closing Date Payments by Buyer. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing), at the Closing, Buyer will:

(a) Pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller, the Estimated Purchase Price;

(b) Pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Relevant Entities, the outstanding amount of Estimated Indebtedness of the type set forth on Schedule 1.04(b)), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Persons or bank accounts specified in the payoff letters delivered in accordance with Section 2.02(d)(iii);

(c) Pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Relevant Entities, the outstanding amount of Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses, to the applicable recipients, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Persons or bank accounts specified in written invoices delivered to Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date;

(d) Pay, or cause to be paid, to the account directed by the Seller’s Representative, the Expense Fund Amount; and

(e) Pay, or cause to be paid, to the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Escrow Amount, with such amount to be deposited in separate non-interest bearing accounts established and designated by the Escrow Agent and held by Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

1.5 Escrow Amount. The Escrow Amount will not be used for any purpose except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in the Escrow Agreement.

1.6 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer, the Company, and the Company’s Subsidiaries shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as such Person reasonably and in good faith determines it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payments under the Code or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law. The Person making the deduction and withholding shall give the Person subject to deduction and withholding a reasonable opportunity to mitigate or avoid such deduction in withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts will 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.

The Parties agree that, from and after the Closing, (i) Buyer and the Relevant Entities are the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., their obligations to the D&O Indemnified Persons are primary and any obligation of any Indemnitee Affiliate to advance expenses or to provide indemnification or insurance for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the D&O Indemnified Persons are secondary), (ii) Buyer and the Relevant Entities will be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the D&O Indemnified Persons and will be liable for the full amount of all fees, costs, expenses, judgments, penalties, interest, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted, without regard to any rights the D&O Indemnified Persons may have against any Indemnitee Affiliate, and (iii) the Parties (on behalf of themselves and their respective Subsidiaries) irrevocably waive, relinquish and release the Indemnitee Affiliates from any and all claims against the Indemnitee Affiliates for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.

(d) In the event that all or substantially all of the equity or assets of any Relevant Entity are sold, or any Relevant Entity merges or otherwise combines with another Person, in each case whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, then Buyer and the Relevant Entity will, in each such case, ensure that the successors and assigns of the Relevant Entity, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.02. The provisions of this Section 7.02(d) will apply to all of the successors and assigns of the Relevant Entities.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no D&O Indemnified Person shall have rights with respect to advancement, indemnification, contribution or other recovery of any kind from the Buyer, the Company or any Relevant Entity for any matter which (i) is a claim in connection with or arising under this Agreement or (ii) such D&O Indemnified Person has committed fraud with respect to the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of defending any claims with respect to such matter).

(f)

Regulatory Filings.

(i) Buyer will, within five (5) Business Days after the date hereof, make or cause to be made all filings and submissions under any Laws or regulations applicable to Buyer and its Affiliates, including under the HSR Act (if applicable), for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and, at Seller’s request, include in each such filing or submission a request for early termination or acceleration of any applicable waiting or review periods, to the extent available under applicable laws or regulations. Buyer will pay all fees associated with all filings and submissions referred to in this Section 7.02(f).

(ii) Buyer will comply with any additional requests for information, including requests for production of documents and production of witnesses for interviews or depositions by any Governmental Body. Without limiting any other provision hereof, in furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates) to use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken any and all actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to avoid, eliminate and resolve any and all impediments under the HSR Act or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Body (including the Federal Trade Commission or the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice or state attorney general) or any other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to enable the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur as expeditiously as possible (and in any event no later than the End Date (as hereinafter defined)) and to obtain all consents, approvals and waivers under the HSR Act and other trade regulation Laws that may be required by any Governmental Body, including any such actions necessary, proper or advisable to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, decision, Order or judgment that would restrain, prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, on or before the End Date, including by contesting, administratively or in court, any ruling, Order, or other action of any Governmental Body or any other Person respecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, Buyer’s shall have no obligation to make or consent to any divestiture.

(iii) Except as specifically required by this Agreement, during the Interim Period, Buyer will not take any action, or refrain from taking any action, that would reasonably be expected to delay or impede the obtaining of clearance or the expiration of the required waiting periods under the HSR Act or any other trade regulation Laws or the obtaining of any consents from any applicable Governmental Body. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire (by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner), any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets at any time during the Interim Period, if the entering into a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation could reasonably be expected to (A) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any Permits or other approvals of any Governmental Body necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (B) increase the risk of any Governmental Body entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (C) increase the risk of not being able to remove any such Order on appeal or otherwise, or (D) delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(iv) Buyer will keep the Company reasonably apprised of the status of all filings and submissions referred to in this Section 7.02(f), including promptly furnishing the Company with copies of notices or other communications received by Buyer in connection therewith to the extent not prohibited by applicable law; provided that Buyer may designate any competitively sensitive materials provided under this Section 7.02(f) as for the review of the Company’s legal counsel only, in which case such materials shall only be given to the Company’s legal counsel and shall not be disclosed to any Affiliates, employees, officers or directors of the Company or Seller without Buyer’s prior written consent. Buyer will provide the Company with copies of draft filings or submissions to any Governmental Body referred to in Section 7.02(f), with the exception of HSR filings, and allow time for Company to provide comment prior to submission. Buyer will not permit any of its officers, employees or other representatives or agents to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Body in respect of such filings and submissions unless it consults with the Company in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Body, gives the Company the opportunity to attend and participate thereat.

7.3 Conditions. During the Interim Period, Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions to do or cause to be done and assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing all things reasonably necessary, proper, or advisable, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as soon as reasonably possible after the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing).

7.4 Contact with Clients and Other Business Relations Prior to the Closing, except as otherwise expressly authorized pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer will not contact and/or communicate with the employees, clients, suppliers, payors or other business relations of the Relevant Entities with respect to the Company, the Relevant Entities or the transactions contemplated hereby, without prior consultation with and written approval of the Seller’s Representative (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit Buyer from contacting, in the ordinary course of business, any client of the Relevant Entities, in each case, not in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.5 Payment of Indebtedness and Seller Transaction Expenses Buyer will repay, or cause to be repaid, all amounts necessary to discharge fully the then outstanding balance of all Indebtedness identified on Schedule 2.02(c)(iii) and the Seller Transaction Expenses, to the account(s) designated by each Person to whom such amounts are to be paid.

Employee Matters

(a) For at least one (1) year following the Closing Date (or until the date of termination of the relevant employee, if earlier), Buyer shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the employees of any Relevant Entity, including employees not actively at work due to injury, vacation, military duty, disability or other leave of absence, who are employed by a Relevant Entity immediately prior to the Closing and who continue to be so employed immediately following the Closing (“Company Employees”) with (i) at least the same level of base salary or hourly wage rate, as the case may be, that was provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) target annual cash performance bonus opportunities (but not change in control, severance, deferred compensation, retention, long-term incentive compensation, or equity or equity-based incentive opportunities) that are not materially less than the target annual cash performance bonus opportunities (but not change in control, severance, deferred compensation, retention, long-term incentive compensation, or equity or equity-based incentive opportunities) in effect with respect to the Company Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (iii) severance pay to Company Employees who incur a “qualifying termination” at any time during the one (1) year period following the Closing at levels that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate than the levels of such severance pay as in effect under the applicable Plans immediately prior to the Closing (where, for such purpose, “qualifying termination” shall mean any termination of employment that would have resulted in severance pay under such Plan if such termination has occurred immediately prior to the Closing) and (iv) other employee benefits (other than any equity or equity- based, defined benefit pension, post-termination welfare, change in control, severance, deferred compensation, retention, long-term incentive compensation, or equity or equity- based incentive opportunities) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to such Company Employees immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) For at least one (1) year following the Closing Date (or until the date of termination of the relevant employee, if earlier), Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, honor all vacation, sick pay and other paid time off for Company Employees accrued but unused as of the Closing Date, on terms and conditions consistent with the terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to credit periods of employment with the Relevant Entities and any of their respective predecessors for purposes of determining eligibility, vesting, and (solely for paid time off and severance) level of benefits for the Company Employee under all employee benefit plans, programs, policies or arrangements of Buyer or its Subsidiaries in which such Company Employee is eligible to participate on or following the Closing Date (other than any defined benefit pension, post-termination welfare, change in control, deferred compensation, retention, equity or equity-based incentive opportunities) (each, a “Buyer Benefit Plan”), in each case, to the same extent such service was recognized under a comparable Plan for the same purpose prior to the Closing; provided, however, that no such crediting of service shall result in duplication of benefits or compensation for the same period of service.

(d) With respect to each Buyer Benefit Plan that is a group health plan that in the plan year in which the Closing occurs replaces coverage under a comparable Plan in which the Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive all preexisting condition exclusions, evidence of insurability or good health, waiting periods, actively-at-work exclusions or other limitations with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Company Employee to the extent waived or satisfied under the comparable Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) credit the Company Employee for any applicable amounts paid or eligible expenses incurred (whether in the nature of co-payments or coinsurance amounts, amounts applied toward deductibles or other out-of-pocket expenses) by such Company Employee (and any covered spouses, dependents or beneficiaries) under the terms of the Plan toward satisfying any applicable deductible, co-payment, coinsurance, maximum out-of-pocket requirements and like adjustments or limitations under the applicable Buyer Benefit Plan that replaces such Company Employee for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 7.06 or any other provision of this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall give any Person, other than the Parties any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever, including but not limited to any right to employment or service or continued employment or service for any period or any particular term or condition of employment or service with the Company or Buyer or any of its Affiliates, under or by reason of this Section 7.06 and no provision of this Section 7.06 shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any other Person, including any current or former employee, director, consultant or other individual service provider of the Company, to enforce the provisions of this Section 7.06 or any other matter related thereto or shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any Plan or any compensation or benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement or to limit the ability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including following the Closing the Company to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, contract or arrangement. Nothing in this Section 7.06 shall be construed to limit the ability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including following the Closing the Company) to terminate the employment or service of any Person at any time and for any or no reason.

(c) by Seller, by giving written notice to Buyer, if there has been a material violation or breach by Buyer of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that has prevented the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of the Company and Seller at the Closing set forth in Section 2.03(a) or Section 2.03(b) and such violation or breach has not been waived by Seller or, in the case of a covenant or agreement breach, cured by Buyer by the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days following Seller’s written notice to Buyer of such breach and (y) the End Date; provided (A) the failure to deliver the full consideration payable pursuant to Article I under this Agreement at the Closing as required hereunder (each of which shall be deemed a Willful Breach by Buyer) will be subject to cure hereunder and (B) that Seller shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(c) if the Company or Seller is then in material breach of any of its covenants, obligations, representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement such that a condition to the obligations of Buyer at the Closing set forth in Section 2.02(a) or Section 2.02(b) would not be satisfied;

(d) by either Buyer or Seller if the transactions contemplated hereby have not been consummated by 5:00 p.m. central time on January 31, 2022 (the “End Date”); provided that if on the End Date the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2.01(a) or 2.01(b) shall not have been satisfied but all other conditions to Closing shall be satisfied or shall be capable of being satisfied upon satisfaction of the conditions to Closing set forth in such section, then Seller shall have the right to extend the End Date an additional fifteen (15) days by notifying Buyer in writing of such election before the End Date; provided further that neither Buyer nor Seller will be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(d) if the failure to consummate the Closing results primarily from such Person’s Willful Breach (or, in the case of the Seller, a Willful Breach by the Company) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement;

(e) by either Buyer or Seller, effective upon written notice to the other party, if there shall be in effect a final, non-appealable Order or Law of a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction permanently enjoining, restraining, preventing, or prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or making the consummation of the Closing illegal; or

(f) by the Seller if (A) the conditions in Sections 2.01 and 2.02 have been satisfied or have been waived (other than those conditions that by their nature only can be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing provided, that each such condition is then capable of and would be satisfied assuming a Closing would occur at such time), (B) the Company and the Seller have satisfied all of their obligations under Section 6.06 and shall not have caused the failure of the condition set forth in Section 2.02(d), and (C) the Company has delivered to Buyer, at least two (2) Business Days prior to such termination, a certificate irrevocably certifying that it is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing on the date required by Section 1.03 and stands so ready, willing and able at the time of termination.

8.2

Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement by either Buyer or Seller as provided in Section 8.01, the provisions of this Agreement will immediately become void and of no further force or effect (other than this Section 8.02 and Article XII (solely applicable to those obligations that survive termination)), and the definitions related thereto that will survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that the Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated July 5, 2021, between Beecken Petty O’Keefe & Company, LLC and Alliance Physical Therapy Partners, LLC (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) will survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms); provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve Seller or the Company from Liability for losses incurred by the other Parties resulting from Seller’s and/or the Company’s Willful Breach of this Agreement.

Solely for purposes of establishing the basis for the amount thereof, it is agreed that the Termination Fee is liquidated damages, and not a penalty, and the payment of the Termination Fee in the circumstances specified herein is supported by due and sufficient consideration (including the fact that the Seller would not be entitled to receive the Final Purchase Price and would suffer other losses of an incalculable nature and amount).

(c) In the event of a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f), the rights, if applicable, of the Seller to receive (i) the Termination Fee and (ii) any indemnification or expense reimbursement obligations under this Agreement (collectively, the “Obligations”), including from Equity Investors pursuant to the Guaranty, if such Obligations are payable pursuant to Section 8.02(b) and are actually indefeasibly paid in full, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, the Seller, the Relevant Entities and any of their respective, shareholders, equity holders, partners, directors, managers, officers, employees and Affiliates against Buyer, its shareholders, and any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, equity holder, controlling Person, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, Buyer, including the Lenders, or any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, equity holder, controlling Person, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (the “Buyer Related Parties”) for any and all losses suffered or as a result of or arising out of this Agreement (including the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby) or any Ancillary Document. Except to enforce the provisions of this Section 8.02(c) or specifically set forth herein, upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f) and, if payable pursuant to Section 8.02(b), payment in full of the Obligations, neither the Company, the Seller, nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim action or proceeding against Buyer and/or any of the Buyer Related Parties arising out of or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Third Party Claims.

(a) If a third party initiates a claim, demand, dispute, lawsuit or arbitration (a “Third-Party Claim”) against any Person (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter that the Indemnified Party may make a claim for indemnification against any Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article IX, then the Indemnified Party must promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the existence of such Third-Party Claim and must deliver copies of any documents served on the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that any failure on the part of an Indemnified Party to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Article IX (except to the extent such failure prejudices the defense of such proceeding).

(b) Upon receipt of the notice described in Section 9.08(a), the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided, that (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer with respect to such Third-Party Claim (subject to any applicable limitations set forth herein), (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief and (iv) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently. The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party apprised of all material developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third-Party Claim and permit the Indemnified Party to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim. So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 9.08(a)(b), the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for any attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party regarding the Third-Party Claim.

(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third- Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.07(b) above, the Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, unless the Indemnified Party shall reasonably determine that there is a material conflict of interest between or among the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel will be borne by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails or elects not to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party had the right to assume under Section 9.07(b) above, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim subject to Section 9.08(a); provided, however, that in the event the Indemnifying Party fails to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to further indemnify the Indemnified Party for the incremental fees and expenses in excess of those related to the compromise or settlement amount incurred by the Indemnified Party.

(e) Neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

9.9 Determination of Indemnification Amounts. After the giving notice of any claim for indemnification, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article IX shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of the arbitrator or arbitration tribunal, or court of competent jurisdiction, as applicable; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall mutually agree in writing. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.

9.10 Other Indemnification Matters.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

10.1 Tax Matters

(a) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. The Seller’s Representative shall, at its expense, prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, on a timely basis all Tax Returns due before the Closing Date and all Pass-Through Tax Returns with respect to the Relevant Entities for taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are first due (taking into account any applicable extensions) to be filed after the Closing Date (a “Seller Return”). Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, on a timely basis all Pass-Through Tax Returns required to be filed for the Relevant Entities for a Straddle Period, (collectively the “Buyer Return”). The Seller Returns and Buyer Returns are hereinafter referred to as “Applicable Tax Returns”. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Applicable Tax Return is required to be filed (taking into consideration applicable extensions), the Party preparing such Applicable Tax Returns (the “Preparing Party”) shall provide a copy of such Applicable Tax Return to the other Party (the “Reviewing Party”) for its review, comment and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, if such Applicable Tax Return is required to be filed within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date or end of the relevant taxable period, the Preparing Party will provide a copy of such Tax Applicable Tax Return to the Reviewing Party as soon as commercially reasonable. The Reviewing Party shall provide any comments to such Applicable Tax Returns within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of such Applicable Tax Returns. In connection with the Reviewing Party’s review, the Preparing Party will provide or cause to be provided promptly to the Reviewing Party any information reasonably requested by the Reviewing Party. If the Reviewing Party submits comments to the Preparing Party within such review period, the Preparing Party shall consider in good faith and incorporate any reasonable comments from the Reviewing Party. If the Reviewing Party does not submit comments within such review period, then the Reviewing Party will be deemed to have approved such Tax Returns.

(b) Straddle Period Allocation. To the extent permitted by law, the Relevant Entities shall adopt the interim closing of the books method for the taxable year including the Closing Date. To the extent it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to determine the allocation of Taxes among a Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, payroll or sales of the Relevant Entities for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of the Company and of any partnership or other pass through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest will be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Relevant Entities for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date will be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(c) Transaction Tax Deductions. For all Tax purposes (including for purposes of determining the amount of income Taxes taken into account in the calculation of Indebtedness, as finally determined), any and all deductions for (i) expenses with respect to the Indebtedness being paid by or on behalf of Seller or the Acquired Companies in connection with the Closing, and (ii) all Seller Transaction Expenses being paid by or on behalf of Seller or the Relevant Entities prior to or in connection with the Closing (such deduction described in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Transaction Tax Deductions”) shall, to the extent at least “more likely than not” permitted by applicable Law to be deducted in the Pre-Closing Tax Period, be treated for income Tax purposes as having been incurred by Seller or the Acquired Companies in, and reflected as a deduction on the income Tax Returns of Seller or the Acquired Companies for, the Pre-Closing Tax Period. The Parties agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Acquired Companies shall elect to apply the safe harbor pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2011-29, 2011-18 IRB with respect to the deduction of any Seller Transaction Expenses which constitute success-based fees and any such deductions shall be included in the calculation of Transaction Tax Deductions.

(d) Books and Records; Cooperation. Seller, the Relevant Entities and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective representatives to reasonably cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and in resolving all audits, examinations or other disputes with Tax authorities for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Buyer and Seller recognize that Seller may need access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain Tax records and information held by the Relevant Entities to the extent pertaining to events occurring prior to the Closing Date; therefore, Buyer agrees that from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Relevant Entities and their Affiliates and successors to, (i) retain and maintain such Tax records and information for three (3) years and (ii) for purposes of permitting Seller to prepare any Tax Return to prepare any Tax Return in accordance with Section 10.01(a) and allow Seller (upon its request and its sole cost) to inspect, review and make copies of such Tax records and the Company’s information as Seller or its representatives may deem necessary or appropriate from time to time consistent with such purpose.

(e) Transfer Taxes. Buyer will pay all of any real property transfer tax, stamp tax, stock transfer tax, or other similar Tax imposed on any Relevant Entity or Seller as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). The party required by applicable Law will, at its own expense, file all Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and the parties agree to cooperate in the filing of any returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in their possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns.

(f) Amended Tax Returns; Tax Elections. Without the prior written consent of Seller’s Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, Buyer will not cause or permit any Relevant Entity to (i) except as required by applicable Law, file, amend or otherwise modify any Tax Return that relates in whole or in part to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than to file Tax Returns in accordance with Section 10.01(b)), (ii) make or change any election for, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre- Closing Tax Period, (iii) settle, voluntarily approach, enter into voluntary disclosure agreement with, or file any ruling request with any Tax authority with respect to any Pre- Closing Tax Period or Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or (iv) extend or waive the statute of limitations with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case, solely to the extent such action could reasonably be expected to adversely impact the Seller or its beneficial owners.

(g) Tax Refunds. Until the date that is three (3) years following the Closing Date, Seller shall be entitled to any Tax refunds plus any interest that are received by Buyer or any Relevant Entity that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (“Tax Refunds”). Buyer will pay over to Seller any such Tax Refund (as determined pursuant to the last sentence hereof) within five (5) days after actual receipt of such Tax Refund. If requested by Seller, Buyer will cause the Relevant Entity to request a refund (rather than a credit in lieu of refund) with respect to all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, at Seller’s expense. Seller shall not be entitled to and Buyer shall not be obligated pay over any such Tax Refund that relates to (A) the carryback of any deductions, losses, credits or other items from any Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, or (B) with respect to Taxes paid after the Closing, the amount of any Tax refunds payable to Seller under this Section 10.01(g) shall be net of (i) Taxes attributable to such refund or credit (such as federal Taxes anticipated to be incurred with respect to refunds or credits of state Taxes), (ii) reasonable third-party costs incurred after Closing in obtaining such refunds, including Tax Return preparation or filing costs, to the extent such costs are not separately paid or reimbursed by Seller, and (iii) any Taxes required to be withheld on such payment to Seller.

(h) Tax Sharing Agreements. Seller shall cause all Tax sharing and other similar agreements of the Relevant Entities to be terminated prior to Closing such that after the Closing, none of the Relevant Entities shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(i) Intended Tax Treatment; Allocation of Purchase Price. The Parties agree to treat the purchase, and sale of the Interests under this Agreement for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and applicable state and local income Tax purposes as a purchase of an undivided interests in assets of the Acquired Companies from Seller (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). For applicable income Tax purposes, the Parties shall allocate the Purchase Price, together with any assumed liabilities, costs, payments and other items required to be treated as “consideration” or sale proceeds for income Tax purposes (the “Allocable Consideration”) among the assets of the Acquired Companies in accordance with the provisions of Section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and the methodology set forth on Exhibit F (the “Allocation Methodology”). Within ninety (90) days following the determination of Final Net Working Capital, in accordance with Section 1.02, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller’s Representative a draft allocation schedule of the Allocable Consideration among the assets of the Acquired Companies (the “Allocation Schedule”) for Seller’s Representative’s review and comment, which Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the Allocation Methodology. If Seller’s Representative does not provide Buyer with comments within thirty (30) days following receipt of such Allocation Schedule (the “Allocation Review Period”), Seller’s Representative shall be deemed to have accepted such Allocation Schedule as prepared by the Buyer. If Seller’s Representative raises any objection to such Allocation Schedule within such Allocation Review Period, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve such objection(s). The Parties agree to file their respective Tax Returns in accordance with the Allocation Schedule and the Intended Tax Treatment. No Party shall take or permit others to take on its behalf any position (whether in connection with a Tax audit, a Tax Return, Tax proceeding, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment or Allocation Schedule unless required to do so pursuant to a final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or other applicable Law.

12.13 No Additional Representations; Disclaimer; Non-Recourse

(a) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it has conducted to its satisfaction, an independent investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, and properties of the Relevant Entities, and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer has relied solely on the results of such independent investigation and the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in Article III and of the Company expressly set forth in Article IV, respectively, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules. The representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in Article III and of the Company expressly set forth in Article IV, respectively, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules, constitute the sole and exclusive representations, warranties and statements of any kind of any of Seller and the Relevant Entities to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and Buyer understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations, warranties and statements in respect of any kind or nature of Seller and the Company, expressed or implied (including any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of the Relevant Entities, or the quality, quantity or condition of the Relevant Entities’ assets), are specifically disclaimed by the Company and Seller.

(b) In connection with the investigation by Buyer of the Relevant Entities, Buyer has received or may receive from the Relevant Entities certain financial projections, forward-looking financial statements and other financial forecasts and certain business plan information (the “Projections”). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such Projections that Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the completeness, adequacy and accuracy of the Projections so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and that Buyer will not have, and will not assert any, claim against anyone with respect thereto. Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that none of the Company, Seller, or any past, present or future direct or indirect member or equity holder, officer, director, employee, agent or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, whether in an individual, corporate or any other capacity, makes any representation, warranty or other statement with respect to, and Buyer is not relying on, the Projections, and Buyer agrees that it has not relied thereon.

12.14 Specific Performance; Other Remedies. The Parties agree that the Parties would suffer irreparable damage prior to a termination in the event that the Closing is not consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by a Party of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the non- breaching Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the breaching Party, and to specifically enforce the terms and provision of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties are entitled at Law or in equity, including right of the Parties to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and to seek money damages. Buyer the Parties agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by any Party.

12.15 Consents. Buyer acknowledges that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to contracts, leases, licenses or other agreements to which any Relevant Entity is a party (including the contracts set forth on Schedule 4.09(a)) and such consents have not been obtained. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that Seller will have no liability whatsoever to Buyer (and Buyer will not be entitled to assert any claims) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default, acceleration or termination of any such contract, lease, license or other agreement as a result thereof. Buyer further agrees that no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company or Seller contained herein will be breached or deemed breached and no condition of Buyer will be deemed not to be satisfied as a result of the failure to obtain any consent or as a result of any such default, acceleration or termination or any lawsuit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consent or any such default, acceleration or termination of such contracts.

12.16 Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent delivered by means of electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any Party or to any such agreement or instrument, each other Party or thereto will re execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other Parties. No Party or to any such agreement or instrument will raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense related to lack of authenticity.

12.17 Deliveries. Any document or item will be deemed “delivered”, “provided” or “made available” within the meaning of this Agreement if such document or item (i) is included in the electronic data room (ii) is actually delivered or provided to Buyer or (iii) is made available upon request, including at any of the Relevant Entities’ offices.

By his, her, or its execution of this Agreement, the Company and Seller hereby ratifies and confirms any act of or action by the Seller’s Representative with respect to the subject matter hereof during the time period prior to the Company’s and Seller’s execution of this Agreement.

(c) Reliance on Seller’s Representative. Buyer and Seller are entitled to rely exclusively upon any communication given or other action taken by Seller’s Representative pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement and will not be liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith reliance on a written communication or other written instruction from Seller’s Representative.

(d) Liability of Seller’s Representative. Seller’s Representative will not have any Liability to the Company or Seller or any Person claiming by, through or under the Company or Seller, for or in respect of any of its acts or omissions which are not contrary to the provisions of this Section 12.18, except to the extent arising out of the Seller’s Representative’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Seller will indemnify Seller’s Representative from and against any and all loss, liability or expense incurred on the part of Seller’s Representative and arising out of or in connection with its duties as Seller’s Representative or the exercise or non-exercise of its approval rights, as the case may be, including the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Seller’s Representative in defending against any claim or liability in connection herewith, and its actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performing its duties as such, so long as such performance of its duties or exercise or non-exercise of its approval rights did not involve gross negligence or willful misconduct and it was not contrary to the provisions of this Section 12.18.

(e) Expense Fund Amount. The Seller’s Representative shall use the Expense Fund Amount to pay all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Seller’s Representative, in his, her, or its capacity as such, including all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any pending or threatened dispute or claim with respect to this Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument entered into pursuant to this Agreement.
