Section 2.11    Post-Closing True-Ups.

(a)    Within 90 days following the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative, in each case, with reasonable supporting detail, a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith calculations of Company Closing Cash, Company Closing Net Working Capital, Company Indebtedness Amount, and Company Transaction Expenses and the Company Group Final Merger Consideration derived therefrom, which shall be prepared on a combined basis for the Parent Acquired Companies in accordance with the Accounting Principles. During the 45 days immediately following the Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, subject to execution and delivery of a customary hold harmless letter in favor of the Person(s) preparing such work papers, the Sellers’ Representative shall be permitted to review such working papers relating to the Post-Closing Statement. The Post-Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties 45 days following the Sellers’ Representative’s receipt thereof unless the Sellers’ Representative delivers written notice of its disagreement (each, a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Parent on or prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall (x) specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of any disagreement so asserted, and (y) only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on the Post-Closing Statement not being prepared in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)    If a timely Notice of Disagreement is received by Parent, then the Post-Closing Statement (as revised in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) below) shall become final and binding upon the parties on the earlier of (i) the date the Sellers’ Representative and Parent resolve in writing any and all differences they have with respect to any matter specified in any Notice of Disagreement and (ii) the date any matters properly in dispute are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm. During the 30 days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, the Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to any matter specified in any Notice of Disagreement, and all such discussions related thereto shall (unless otherwise agreed by the Sellers’ Representative and Parent) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any

40

applicable similar state rule. At the end of such 30-day period, the Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall submit to an accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the Sellers’ Representative and Parent (the “Accounting Firm”), who shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, for review and resolution of any and all matters (but only such matters) which remain in dispute and which were properly included in any Notice of Disagreement. The Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall instruct the Accounting Firm to make a final determination of the items included in the Post-Closing Statement (to the extent such amounts are in dispute) in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative and Parent will cooperate with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement. The Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall instruct the Accounting Firm not to, and the Accounting Firm shall not, assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Parent in the Post-Closing Statement or by the Sellers’ Representative in an applicable Notice of Disagreement, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Parent in the Post-Closing Statement or by the Sellers’ Representative in an applicable Notice of Disagreement. The Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall also instruct the Accounting Firm to, and the Accounting Firm shall, make its determination based solely on written submissions (which written submissions shall be limited to the remaining items in dispute set forth in the Notice of Disagreement) submitted by each of the Sellers’ Representative and Parent (which the Accounting Firm shall forward to the Sellers’ Representative or Parent, as applicable), and such written submissions shall be in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The Post-Closing Statement and the resulting Final Determination of the Company Group Final Merger Consideration shall become final and binding on the Parties on the date the Accounting Firm delivers its final resolution in writing to the Sellers’ Representative and Parent (which final resolution shall be requested by the parties to be delivered not more than 45 days following submission of such disputed matters), and such resolution by the Accounting Firm shall not be appealable. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be borne by Parent, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand, in inverse proportion to the manner in which such Party prevails on the items resolved by the Accounting Firm.

(c)    Following the Final Determination of the Company Group Final Merger Consideration, if (i) the Company Group Final Merger Consideration exceeds the Company Group Closing Merger Consideration, (A) the Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay the entire amount in the Adjustment Escrow Account to the Sellers’ Representative for distribution to the Company Group Holders in the same proportion as the Company Group Closing Merger Consideration was paid to the Company Group Holders, and (B) Parent shall cause an amount equal to such excess to be paid in immediately available funds to the Company Group Holders in the same proportion as the Company Group Closing Merger Consideration was paid to the Company Group Holders, and (ii) the Company Group Closing Merger Consideration exceeds the Company Group Final Merger Consideration, the Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay such excess from the Adjustment Escrow Account to Parent, and the remainder (if any) to the Sellers’ Representative for distribution to the Company Group Holders in the same proportion as the Company Group Closing Merger Consideration was paid to the Company Group Holders. Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated by all Parties as an adjustment to the Company Group Closing Merger Consideration.

41

Section 2.12    Earnout.

(a)    Earnout. As additional consideration for the Management Company Units held by a Company Group Holder as of immediately prior to the Closing, the holder thereof shall be entitled to (i) its ratable portion of the First Earnout upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event applicable thereto, and (ii) its ratable portion of the Second Earnout upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event applicable thereto, with such ratable portion in each case being determined based on the number of Management Company Units held by such holder as of immediately prior to the Closing relative to the total number of Management Company Units outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Management Company Units that constitute Electing Company Group Units of any holder thereof, a holder that has executed and delivered to Parent each of the following shall be entitled to be issued such holder’s Earnout Units on the Closing Date: (A) each of the Blue Owl LP Agreements, (B) the Exchange Agreement and (C) an Earnout Restrictions Agreement pursuant to which such holder has agreed to (x) the restrictions on transfer on such Earnout Units more fully described in Section 2.12(b)(iv), and (y) forfeiture of such Earnout Units to the extent such Earnout Units are not earned in accordance with Section 2.12(c) on or prior to the Applicable Earnout Termination Date. The Earnout Units will not be treated as outstanding for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will only be treated as outstanding for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event applicable thereto.

(b)    Procedures Applicable to the Earnout Units.

(i)    With respect to any Earnout Units (whether issued at the Closing or after), Parent shall place the restrictive legends, in substantially the form set forth in Section 2.12(b)(i)(1), on the certificates or book entries representing the Earnout Units:

(1)    “THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, DATED AS OF OCTOBER 17, 2021 (THE “MERGER AGREEMENT”), BY AND AMONG BLUE OWL CAPITAL INC. (THE “CORPORATION”), BLUE OWL CAPITAL GP LLC, BLUE OWL CAPITAL HOLDINGS LP, BLUE OWL CAPITAL CARRY LP, OSREC GP HOLDINGS, LP, OAK STREET REAL ESTATE CAPITAL, LLC, SASC FEEDER, LP, MANAGEMENT COMPANY MERGER SUB, SASC MERGER SUB, AND AUGUSTUS, LLC, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED, RESTATED OR AMENDED & RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND NO TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES WILL BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN THE MERGER AGREEMENT, IF ANY, HAVE BEEN FULFILLED.”

(ii)    Promptly upon the occurrence of any Triggering Event, Parent shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, in consultation with the Sellers’ Representative, a mutually agreeable written notice to the Sellers’ Representative (each, an “Earnout Notice”), which shall set forth in reasonable detail the Triggering Event giving rise to the vesting of Earnout Units and the payment of the amounts set forth in Section 2.12(b)(i) and (ii) (collectively, the “Earnout Payments”).

42

(iii)    Promptly following the date that is two years from the date of vesting of the applicable Earnout Units (the “Earnout Lock-Up Period”), Parent shall cause the restrictive legends set forth in Section 2.12(b)(i) to be removed from certificates or book entries representing such Earnout Units.

(iv)    Subject to, and without limitation of, the terms of the Parent Governing Documents and any applicable Earnout Restrictions Agreement, the holders of the Earnout Units shall not (A) directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or similarly dispose of, either voluntarily or involuntarily, any of the Earnout Units or (B) if applicable, Exchange any Earnout Units pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (the restrictions in clauses (A) and (B), the “Earnout Restrictions”), in each case, until the date on which the relevant Triggering Event(s) has been satisfied as described in Section 2.12(c) below, and thereafter, such Earnout Units shall continue to be subject to the terms and restrictions of Parent’s Governing Documents and the Exchange Agreement, as applicable.

(v)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Earnout Units that are not earned in accordance with the terms of Section 2.12 as of the end of the day on the Applicable Earnout Termination Date with respect to such applicable Earnout Units shall be automatically forfeited to Parent without any further action by any Person, and cancelled and retired and the Company Group Holder shall not have any rights with respect thereto.

(vi)    No member of the Blue Owl Group shall take any action the intent of which is to (A) avoid Parent’s and its applicable controlled Affiliates’ obligation to pay the Earnout Payments or (B) impede any Company Group Holder’s ability to receive the Earnout Payment. Pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 6.4, the Blue Owl Parties shall provide the Sellers’ Representative with reasonable access to the books and records of the Blue Owl Group relating to the calculation of the Earnout Payment or the occurrence of any Triggering Event.

(c)    Triggering Events. The Earnout Payments shall be earned in accordance with this Section 2.12(c), and as a result the applicable Earnout Units shall no longer be subject to the Earnout Restrictions, and the cash portion paid as follows (each such event, a “Triggering Event”):

(i)    Parent shall pay to the holders of Management Company Units as of immediately prior to the Closing, ratably as determined in accordance with Section 2.12(a), an aggregate amount equal to $325,000,000 in cash (“First Earnout Cash Consideration”) (provided that, with respect to any Management Company Units that are Electing Company Group Units of any holder thereof, such Management Company Units shall, in lieu of the applicable First Earnout Rollover Portion of the First Earnout Cash Consideration to which such Electing Company Group Units would otherwise be entitled to receive, instead convert into a number of First Earnout Units determined by dividing such amount of First Earnout Cash Consideration by the Per Share Price), upon the earlier to occur of: (A) the first full fiscal quarter commencing following the Closing and prior to the Applicable Earnout Termination Date with respect to the First Earnout Units that the Earnout Group receives an amount of Quarterly Management Fee Revenue equal to or greater than

43

$22,000,000 (the “First Earnout”); provided that in no event shall the payment or vesting of the First Earnout occur pursuant to this clause (A) prior to January 1, 2023; and (B) an Earnout Acceleration Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no holder of Management Company Units that received First Earnout Units at Closing shall be entitled to receive any First Earnout Units pursuant to this Section 2.12(c)(i), but such First Earnout Units so issued at Closing shall become vested and no longer subject to the Earnout Restrictions (other than as provided in Section 2.12(b)(iii)).

(ii)    Parent shall pay to the holders of Management Company Units as of immediately prior to the Closing, ratably as determined in accordance with Section 2.12(a), an aggregate amount equal to $331,500,000 in cash (“Second Earnout Cash Consideration”) (provided that, with respect to any Management Company Units that are Electing Company Group Units of any holder thereof, such Management Company Units shall, in lieu of the applicable Second Earnout Rollover Portion of the Second Earnout Cash Consideration to which such Electing Company Group Units would otherwise be entitled to receive, instead convert into a number of Second Earnout Units determined by dividing such amount of Second Earnout Cash Consideration by the Per Share Price), upon the earlier to occur of: (A) the first full fiscal quarter commencing following the Closing and prior to the Applicable Earnout Termination Date with respect to the Second Earnout Units that the Earnout Group receives an amount of Quarterly Management Fee Revenue equal to or greater than $28,000,000 (the “Second Earnout”); provided that in no event shall the payment or vesting of the Second Earnout occur pursuant to this clause (A) prior to January 1, 2024; and (B) an Earnout Acceleration Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the First Earnout and the Second Earnout may not be achieved in the same fiscal quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no holder of Management Company Units that received Second Earnout Units at Closing shall be entitled to receive any Second Earnout Units pursuant to this Section 2.12(c)(ii), but such Second Earnout Units so issued at Closing shall become vested and no longer subject to the Earnout Restrictions (other than as provided in Section 2.12(b)(iii)).

(iii)    For purposes of this Section 2.12, “Quarterly Management Fee Revenue” means, in respect of any fiscal quarter of the Earnout Group, all management fees and other similar fees, income or proceeds received by the Earnout Group (“Management Fee Revenue”) in such quarter, excluding (A) any non-recurring Management Fee Revenue and (B) any Management Fee Revenue to the extent earned in a prior fiscal quarter or to be earned in a subsequent fiscal quarter (which such amounts of Management Fee Revenues shall be included in the calculation of Management Fee Revenues in respect of such prior or subsequent fiscal quarter and, if any such Management Fee Revenues are paid in arrears, the full effect shall be given thereto in respect of any fiscal quarter prior to the Applicable Earnout Termination Date, even if paid following any relevant Applicable Earnout Termination Date).

(iv)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Blue Owl Change of Control has occurred prior to the Closing Date and the Closing occurs, then all of the Earnout Payments contemplated by this Section 2.12 shall be immediately due and payable at the Closing, and, in furtherance of the foregoing and for purposes of clarity, all of the First Earnout Units and the Second Earnout Units shall be deemed to be vested and not subject to the Earnout Restrictions, but shall remain subject to lock-up.

44

(d)    Achievement of Multiple of Triggering Events. For the avoidance of doubt, if the condition for more than one Triggering Event is met pursuant to Section 2.12(c), (i) the Earnout Units in connection with each such Triggering Event shall be earned and no longer subject to the Earnout Restrictions in accordance with this Section 2.12, and shall be cumulative with the Earnout Units earned prior to such time in connection with the satisfaction of any other Triggering Event (if any) and (ii) in no event shall the Company Group Holders (collectively) be entitled to a number of Earnout Units that is greater than the number of Earnout Units issued upon the Closing in accordance with this Agreement.

(e)    Adjustments. If Parent at any time combines or subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amendment of Parent’s Governing Documents, scheme, arrangement or otherwise or extraordinary dividend resulting from an asset sale or leveraged recapitalization) any Blue Owl Common Units prior to the date any Earnout Units are issued, the number of Earnout Units shall be equitably adjusted by Parent in good faith to take into account such stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amendment of Parent’s Governing Documents, scheme, arrangement or extraordinary dividend or other applicable transaction.

Section 2.13    Withholding. Each of the Parties shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as such Person is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law; provided, however, that such Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify any applicable payee prior to the making of such deduction or withholding and shall reasonably cooperate with such payee to determine whether any such deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding in respect of any compensatory payments or required by reason of such payee’s failure to comply with the last sentence of this Section 2.13) is required under applicable Law and to obtain any available exemption or reduction of, or otherwise minimize to the extent permitted by applicable Law, such deduction and withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Each payee shall promptly provide any applicable Party (or other applicable withholding agent) with a valid IRS Form W-9 and any other applicable Tax forms and certifications reasonably requested and shall promptly provide an update of any such Tax form or certificate previously delivered if the same has become incorrect or has expired.

Section 2.15    Excluded Company Group Assets. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and for purposes of clarity, the Blue Owl Group is not acquiring or otherwise receiving, and the Company Group is not selling or otherwise transferring to the Blue Owl Group, any of the Excluded Company Group Assets.

Section 2.16    Flyer Matters. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the Transactions are being effected pursuant to Sections 6.3 and 6.4 of the Flyer Investment Agreement. Without limitation of the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, Parent shall

45

use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and assist the Company Group in taking such actions as are reasonably necessary to so effect the Transactions on the terms and conditions specified herein, pursuant to Sections 6.3 and 6.4 of the Flyer Investment Agreement.

No Company Fund is advised by any Person serving in the capacity of primary adviser, sub-adviser or any other advisory role to such Company Fund other than a member of the Company Group. Except as set forth on Section 3.26(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter, no Person other than a member of the Company Group is directly entitled to any proceeds from any Company Fund. Each Company Fund has been duly organized or formed and is validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to carry on its investment activities. Each Company Fund is duly qualified, licensed or registered to do business in each jurisdiction where it is required to do so under applicable Law, except where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company Group is currently entitled to receive performance or incentive fees, performance allocations, management fees or other similar fees payable in respect of each of the Company Funds, as set forth in the Company Fund Documentation, except as may be modified by investor side letters and subscription agreements. Except as set forth on Section 3.26(a)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company Group does not charge or receive any other fees to or from any Company Fund other than those described in the preceding sentence.

(b)    Each general partner of a member of the Company Group has a written Client Contract in respect of each Company Fund for which it serves, for compensation, as investment adviser, general partner, managing member or similar entity. Each Company Fund currently is in compliance in all material respects with applicable Laws and Orders and is operated in all material respects in accordance with its respective investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as set forth in the applicable private placement memorandum or other applicable offering document of such Company Fund (as each such document is amended, restated or supplemented from time to time), except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Company Funds, taken as a whole.

(d)    As of the date hereof, no Investment Adviser acts as an investment adviser (or, for the avoidance of doubt, a sub-adviser) to any pooled investment vehicle required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act.

(e)    No Company Fund is, or at any time since its inception was, required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

Section 6.3    Confidential Information. During the Pre-Closing Period, each Party shall be bound by and comply with the provisions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement as if such provisions were set forth in this Agreement, and such provisions are incorporated in this Agreement by reference.

Section 6.9    D&O Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)    Beginning on the Closing Date and continuing until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent (i) shall cause each of the Company Group to maintain in effect all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, exculpation and other limitations on Liability to the extent provided in the Governing Documents of such member of the Company Group, or in any indemnification agreement or arrangement, in each case, in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “D&O Provisions”) in favor of any current or former director, officer, member, manager, employee, agent or representative (in each case, or their functional equivalent) of any member of the Company Group, including any Company Group Holder (collectively, with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, the “Company Group Indemnified Persons”), in each case relating to acts, omissions, circumstances or events existing or occurring at or prior to Closing, and Parent

90

shall, and shall cause each of the members of the Company Group to perform and discharge such member of the Company Group’s respective obligations to provide such indemnification, advancement of expenses, exculpation and other limitations of Liability from and after the Closing for a period of the later of six years or until the settlement or final adjudication of any Proceeding commenced during such period, and (ii) shall not, and shall not permit any member of the Company Group to amend, repeal or modify in a manner adverse to the beneficiary thereof any provision in the D&O Provisions as it relates to any Company Group Indemnified Person, in each case relating to acts, omissions, circumstances or events existing or occurring at or prior to Closing, without the written consent of such affected the Company Group Indemnified Person (it being agreed that each the Company Group Indemnified Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 6.9). After the Closing, in the event that any member of the Company Group or its successors (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors of the member of the Company Group or transferees of such Persons’ assets or properties (as applicable) shall succeed to and be bound by the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9.

(b)    Without limiting the foregoing, following the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause each member of the Company Group to: (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, the Company Group Indemnified Persons with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to and including the Closing (including any matters arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), to the fullest extent that Parent and each member of the Company Group would be permitted by applicable Law; and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any actual or threatened Proceeding against any Company Group Indemnified Person the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any Company Group Indemnified Person upon receipt, if required by applicable Laws, the Governing Documents of such member of the Company Group, as applicable, or any applicable indemnification agreement, of a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that such Company Group Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by applicable Laws.

(c)    Tail Policy. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall purchase and maintain in effect for a period of six years thereafter, pre-paid, non-cancellable “run-off” directors and officers liability, errors and omissions, fiduciary, professional liability and employment practices liability insurance covering those Persons who are covered as of the Closing Date under the Company Group’s then existing respective policies and with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less advantageous than the coverage provided under any of Company Group’s then existing respective policies as of the Closing Date, with respect to acts, omissions, circumstances or events existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.10    Employee Matters.

(a)    For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (or, if earlier, until the termination date of the relevant Continuing Employee), Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, each Company Group Employee who is actively employed by the Company Group immediately prior to the Closing and who continues to be employed by the Company Group as of

91

the Closing (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with: (i) an annual base salary or a base wage rate, as applicable, that is no less favorable than that provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) target annual cash incentive compensation opportunities in accordance with such principles set forth on Section 6.10(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter, (iii) employee benefits (excluding any equity or equity-based, nonqualified deferred compensation, retention, incentive, bonus, change in control or transaction compensation arrangements or defined benefit pension or post-termination or retiree health and welfare benefits, collectively, the “Excluded Benefits”) that are the same as such employee benefits offered to employees of the Blue Owl Group (subject to the exclusion of the Excluded Benefits) and that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to such Continuing Employees as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (iv) severance or termination benefits that are no less favorable than those applicable to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, and that are payable pursuant to the same terms and conditions as in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the twelve (12) month period set forth in the immediately foregoing sentence, in the event that the Parent Employee Benefit Plans that replace the Company Employee Benefit Plans provide benefits that vary in any significant respect with respect to level of or cost of benefits, Parent agrees to provide additional compensation or benefits to offset the value of the benefits foregone under the Company Employee Benefit Plans.

(b)    With respect to any Parent Employee Benefit Plan (excluding any Parent Employee Benefit Plan that provides Excluded Benefits) in which Continuing Employees may become eligible to participate following the Closing, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting, level of benefits and benefit accruals, each Continuing Employee’s past service with the Company Group (as well as service with any predecessor employer thereto, to the extent service was recognized by the Company Group under the corresponding Company Employee Benefit Plan as of immediately prior to the Closing) shall be recognized as service with Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Parent Acquired Companies); provided that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(c)    Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be waived any pre-existing condition limitation, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements, waiting periods and any other similar restriction that would prevent immediate participation under any Parent Employee Benefit Plan that replaces an analogous Company Employee Benefit Plan in which Continuing Employees participate following the Closing that is a group health plan, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitation, exclusions, actively-at work requirements and waiting periods would have been satisfied under the comparable Company Employee Benefit Plan as of immediately prior to the Closing Date. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all expenses incurred by each Company Group Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) prior to the Closing Date in the same plan year in which the Closing Date occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under any Parent Employee Benefit Plan in which Continuing Employees participate following the Closing that is a welfare benefit plan, as if there had been a single continuous employer during such year.

(d)    At the written request of the Parent provided no later than five days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, adopt

92

written resolutions (or take other necessary and appropriate action) to terminate, cease contributions to, and one hundred percent (100%) vest all participants under the Company 401(k) Plan, in each case, to be effective no later than the Business Day preceding the Closing Date; provided, however, that such Company 401(k) Plan termination, cessation of contributions and vesting may be made contingent upon the Closing.

(e)    This Section 6.10 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 6.10, express or implied, is intended to (i) confer upon any person, other than the parties to this Agreement, any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever; (ii) constitute the establishment, adoption, modification, amendment or termination of any Employee Benefit Plan; (iii) prevent Parent from (x) establishing, adopting, amending, modifying or terminating any Employee Benefit Plan in accordance with its terms, or (y) terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee. No provision of this Section 6.10 creates any third-party beneficiary rights in any current or former employee, director or consultant in respect or continued employment, compensation entitlements, or any other matter.

(f)    The Company Group shall have taken all such actions set forth on Section 6.10(f) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

Section 6.11    Section 280G Matters. To the extent necessary, prior to the Closing, the Company Group shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, from each individual who has a right (whether or not contingent) to any payments and/or benefits as a result of or in connection with the Transactions that, individually or in the aggregate, could be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (“Section 280G Payments”), a written agreement waiving such individual’s right to receive such portion of such payments and/or benefits to the extent necessary so that none of the remaining payments and/or benefits applicable to such individual would reasonably be expected to constitute “parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) (such waived portion, the “Waived 280G Benefits”), and accepting in substitution for the Waived 280G Benefits the right to receive the Waived 280G Benefits only if approved by the requisite stockholders in a manner that complies with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code. In connection with the foregoing, Parent shall provide the Company Group with all information reasonably necessary and available to Parent to allow the Company Group to determine whether any payments made or to be made or benefits granted or to be granted pursuant to any employment agreement or other agreement, arrangement or contract entered into or negotiated by Parent or its Affiliates (“Parent Payments”), together with all Section 280G Payments, could reasonably be considered to be “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date; there shall be no breach of this Section 6.11 or Section 3.16(f) resulting from the Company Group’s failure to include any Parent Payments in the Section 280G materials due to Parent’s failure to provide such information in respect of the Parent Payments. Promptly following the execution of such waivers, and in all events prior to the Closing, the Company Group shall solicit the approval of the requisite stockholders of any Waived 280G Benefits to the extent and in the manner required under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code; provided, that in no event shall the Company Group be deemed in breach of this Section 6.11 or Section 3.16(f) if any such individual refuses to waive any such rights, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts, or if the stockholders fail to approve any Waived 280G Benefits. Within a reasonable time prior to soliciting such waivers and approvals, respectively, the Company Group shall provide drafts of

93

such waivers and such stockholder approval materials (together with the calculations and supporting documentation) to Parent for Parent’s review and comment, which the Company Group shall consider and incorporate in good faith. To the extent that any of the Waived 280G Benefits are not approved by the requisite stockholders as contemplated above, such Waived 280G Benefits shall not be made or provided. Prior to the Closing, the Company Group shall deliver to Parent evidence that a vote of the requisite stockholders was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.11 and that either (i) the requisite number of votes was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits (the “280G Approval”), or (ii) the 280G Approval was not obtained, and, as a consequence, the Waived 280G Benefits shall not be made or provided.

Section 6.12    Stock Transactions. During the Pre-Closing Period, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, the Company Group shall not and shall instruct each of its directors and officers not to, directly or indirectly, engage in any transactions involving the securities of Parent without the prior written consent of Parent.

Section 6.13    Merger Subs. Parent shall take all actions necessary to (a) cause the Merger Subs to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and the other transactions set forth in Section 2.2 on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and (b) ensure that, prior to the Closing Date, the Merger Subs shall not conduct any business, or incur or guarantee any Indebtedness or make any investments, other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.14    Exclusivity-Related Matters.

(a)    From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, the Company Group shall not, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate or take any action to knowingly facilitate or encourage any inquiries or the making, submission or announcement of, any proposal or offer from any Person or group of Persons other than Parent (and their respective representatives, acting in their capacity as such) (a “Competing Buyer”) that may constitute, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Transaction; (ii) enter into, participate in, continue or otherwise engage in, any discussions or negotiations with any Competing Buyer regarding a Competing Transaction; (iii) furnish (including through any virtual data room) any information relating to the Company Group, or afford access to the assets, business, properties, books or records relating to the Company Group to a Competing Buyer, in all cases for the purpose of assisting with or facilitating, or that could otherwise reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Transaction; (iv) approve any Competing Transaction; or (v) enter into a Competing Transaction or any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any letter of intent or term sheet) relating to a Competing Transaction or publicly announce an intention to do so. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 6.14(a) shall not restrict, or be deemed to restrict, the Company Group from taking any actions as described in Section 6.14(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(b)    From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, if Parent engages in material discussions in respect of any transaction with any Person or group of Persons other than the Company Group (and their respective representatives, acting in their capacity as such) that would reasonably be expected to lead to the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by Parent of a Person that

94

conducts, in any significant respect, a real estate asset management business, then Parent shall promptly deliver written notice thereof to the Company Group. Each Party hereby acknowledges that, and agrees to advise its representatives who are informed as to any matters in connection with this Section 6.14(b), that such matters shall be subject to (i) the Confidentiality Agreement and (ii) state and federal Laws, including the Securities Laws, which impose restrictions on the dissemination of such information and on trading securities when in possession of such information.

Section 6.15    Sellers’ Representative.

(a)    The Company Group hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Sellers’ Representative as its true and lawful attorney in fact and agent and authorizes the Sellers’ Representative to act for each member of the Company Group and in such Company Group member’s name, place and stead in any and all capacities under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement, as applicable, and to do and perform every act and thing requited or permitted to be done by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement, as applicable. Each member of the Company Group hereby grants to the Sellers’ Representative full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or desirable to be done by such member of the Company Group in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which such Company Group member is a party, hereby ratifying and confirming all the Sellers’ Representative may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Each member of the Company Group acknowledges and agrees that by executing this Agreement and without any further action by such Company Group member, such Company Group member hereby ratifies and approves any delivery by the Sellers’ Representative of any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion, certificate or other document contemplated hereby or by any Ancillary Agreement that is executed by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of such Company Group member, and such Company Group member shall be bound by such documents or action as fully as if such Company Group member had executed and delivered such documents. All decisions of the Sellers’ Representative shall be binding upon all members of the Company Group, and no member of the Company Group shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(b)    Each member of the Company Group agrees that Parent and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely on any action taken by the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of the Company Group, pursuant to this Section 6.15 (each, an “Authorized Action”), without any obligation to inquire of any member of the Company Group with respect to the action so taken, and that each such Authorized Action shall be binding on each member of the Company Group as fully as if such Company Group member had taken such Authorized Action. Each of the other Parties is expressly authorized to rely on the genuineness of the signature of the Sellers’ Representative and, upon receipt of any writing which reasonably appears to have been signed by the Sellers’ Representative, the other Parties may act upon the same without any further duty of inquiry as to the genuineness of the writing.

(c)    The Sellers’ Representative will act for each member of the Company Group on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Sellers’ Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Company Group, and consistent with the obligations of the Company Group under this Agreement, but the Sellers’ Representative is not responsible to the

95

Company Group for any loss or damages which any member of the Company Group may suffer by the performance of the Sellers’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement, other than Losses arising from a willful violation of any applicable Law, bad faith or Fraud in the performance of such duties under this Agreement and in no event will any such Losses include consequential, incidental, indirect, special, exemplary or punitive losses or damages of any kind whatsoever. The Sellers’ Representative does not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities are read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Sellers’ Representative.

(d)    The Sellers’ Representative is entitled to rely, and is fully protected in relying, upon any statements or other information furnished to it by any Party hereto, and any other evidence deemed by the Sellers’ Representative, in its sole but reasonable discretion, to be reliable, and the Sellers’ Representative is entitled to act on the advice of counsel selected by the Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers’ Representative is fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it has received such advice or concurrence of the Company Group as it deems appropriate or it has been expressly indemnified to its satisfaction by the Company Group (severally but not jointly) against any and all liability and expense that the Sellers’ Representative may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

(e)    The Sellers’ Representative is entitled to retain counsel and other advisors (including accountants) and to incur such expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) as the Sellers’ Representative deems to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The Seller Administrative Fund shall be held by the Sellers’ Representative in a segregated account controlled by the Sellers’ Representative. The Seller Administrative Fund shall be used by the Sellers’ Representative solely to pay any expenses that the Sellers’ Representative may incur from time to time in performing its duties hereunder; provided, that the existence of the Seller Administrative Fund shall not modify or otherwise diminish the obligations of the Company Group to the Sellers’ Representative as set forth in this Section 6.15. Any amounts remaining on deposit in the Seller Administrative Fund following the payment of all expenses the Sellers’ Representative may incur shall be released by the Sellers’ Representative to the Company Group Holders promptly following the determination by the Sellers’ Representative, in its reasonable judgment, that the Sellers’ Representative will not incur any further expenses in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder. Upon the release of any such amounts from the Seller Administrative Fund to the Company Group Holders, each Company Group Holder shall be entitled to receive its ratable portion, with such ratable portion in each case being determined based on the number of Management Company Units held by such holder as of immediately prior to the Closing relative to the total number of Management Company Units outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing. Each of the members of the Company Group acknowledges that, other than Parent’s obligation to fund the Seller Administrative Fund at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(e), Parent will not have or be subject to any liability or obligations to any Company Group Holder with respect to the Seller Administrative Fund, the appointment of the Sellers’ Representative or any action taken by the Sellers’ Representative.

(f)    Each member of the Company Group hereby agrees (severally but not jointly) to indemnify the Sellers’ Representative (in its capacity as such) against, and to hold the Sellers’ Representative (in its capacity as such) harmless from any and all Losses of whatever kind

96

which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Sellers’ Representative in such capacity in any way relating to or arising out of the Sellers’ Representative’s action or failure to take action pursuant to this Agreement or in connection herewith in such capacity; provided that no member of the Company Group is liable for the payment of any portion of such Losses to the extent resulting from the bad faith or Fraud of the Sellers’ Representative or any willful violation by the Sellers’ Representative of its obligations under this Agreement.

(g)    The agreements in this Section 6.15 shall survive the Closing.

(a)    Prior to the Closing, Parent shall cause the TRA Joinder to be duly executed and delivered to the Company Group.

(a)    Sellers’ Representative shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, at the cost and expense of the applicable Parent Acquired Company, all Tax Returns of each Parent Acquired Company for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or for any Straddle Period, in each case that are due after the Closing Date (taking into account applicable extensions) (the “Seller Prepared Returns”). Each Seller Prepared Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the applicable Parent Acquired Company’s past practices except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Each Seller Prepared Return shall be submitted to Parent no later than the 30th day prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (taking into account applicable extensions). Sellers’ Representative (or such applicable member of the Blue Owl Group) shall incorporate all reasonable comments received from Parent in writing no later than the 10th day prior to the due date for filing any such Tax Return (taking into account applicable extensions), and shall not file any such Tax Return without the consent of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Income Tax Return for any applicable Parent Acquired Company for a taxable period that includes the Closing Date (x) for which the “interim closing method” under Section 706 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) is available shall be prepared in accordance with such method (with such interim closing occurring as of the Closing Date), (y) for which an election under Section 754 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) may be made shall make such election (if not already in effect from a prior period, which election shall not be revoked) and (z) shall be prepared in a manner such that any and all deductions, losses, or credits of any Parent Acquired Company resulting from, attributable to or accelerated by the payment of the Company Transaction Expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are reported by the applicable Parent Acquired Company and allocated to the taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law (and the parties agree that 70% of any success-based fees shall be

97

deductible for U.S. federal or state income tax purposes pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2011-29, 2011-18 IRB to the extent permitted by applicable Law). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, all Tax Returns of each Parent Acquired Company that are filed after the Closing Date shall be prepared and filed in accordance with the terms of the Blue Owl Holdings LP Agreement or the Blue Owl Carry LP Agreement, as applicable.

(b)    After the Closing, without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no member of the Blue Owl Group shall (and shall neither cause nor permit any Parent Acquired Company to) take any of the following actions: (i) file, amend, re-file or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating in whole or part to any Parent Acquired Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or that would reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification obligation under this Agreement, (ii) enter into an agreement to extend the statute of limitations with respect to Tax Returns relating in whole or part to any Parent Acquired Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or that could give rise to an indemnification obligation under this Agreement, or (iii) make any Tax election or take any position on any Tax Return with respect to any Parent Acquired Company that would have retroactive effect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or that could give rise to an indemnification obligation under this Agreement.

(c)    Notwithstanding the deadlines set forth in Section 7.1(a) with respect to any Tax Return described therein, the applicable member of the Blue Owl Group, the Sellers’ Representative, and the applicable Parent Acquired Company, as applicable, shall reasonably cooperate to set later deadlines if it is reasonably necessary in order to allow sufficient time for preparation and review of such Tax Return prior to the due date of such Tax Return (including applicable extensions).

Section 7.2    Cooperation. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate (and cause its Affiliates to reasonably cooperate), as and to the extent reasonably requested by each other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns required to be filed relating to any Parent Acquired Company (provided, that any cooperation with respect to any Tax Return for a non-Parent Acquired Company shall be limited to any information and explanation directly related to the Parent Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries), including each applicable Party signing and filing or causing to be signed and filed any Tax Returns that have been prepared in accordance with Section 7.1(a) on behalf of a Parent Acquired Company, the preparation of the Allocation, and any Tax Proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of any Parent Acquired Company. Such cooperation shall include the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return to be filed pursuant to Section 7.1(a), Tax Proceeding or other Tax-related matter and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Agreement. Following the Closing, each applicable member of the Blue Owl Group, each applicable Parent Acquired Company, and the other Parties (to the extent such Parties have any such books and records in their possession) shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to any Parent Acquired Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the seven-year anniversary of the Closing Date, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority. The Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) provide any information reasonably requested to allow any member of the

98

Blue Owl Group or any Parent Acquired Company to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Laws or to compute the amount of payroll or other employment Taxes due with respect to any payment made in connection with this Agreement.

Section 7.3    Tax Proceedings. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Parties in writing upon receipt by the applicable Party or its Affiliates of notice of any Tax Proceeding (x) that is with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of any Parent Acquired Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (y) that is with respect to Taxes which are the subject of indemnification under this Agreement (each, an “Applicable Tax Proceeding”). Such notification shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Proceeding and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Taxing Authority. In connection with any Tax Proceeding:

(b)    Parent or such applicable member of the Blue Owl Group, at the cost and expense of the applicable Parent Acquired Company, may control (i) any Tax Proceeding that the Sellers’ Representative would otherwise have the right to control under Section 7.3(a) if the Sellers’ Representative elects in writing not to control such Tax Proceeding and (ii) any Applicable Tax Proceeding that is with respect to Taxes which are the subject of indemnification under this Agreement or Income Tax matters for a Straddle Period (other than any Applicable Tax Proceeding described in Section 7.3(a)); provided, however, that the Sellers’ Representative (at its sole cost and expense) shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Proceeding and such applicable member of the Blue Owl Group shall (x) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Sellers’ Representative reasonably informed with respect to such Tax Proceeding, (y) not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but only if such settlement, compromise or abandonment would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Tax Liability (including by increasing or affecting any Taxes that are the subject of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement) or Tax position of the Parent Acquired Company being represented, any of the pre-Closing direct or indirect owners of SASC Feeder or Management Company, or GP Holdings (or any of its direct or indirect owners), as applicable; provided that this clause (y) shall not apply to any Income Tax matters for a Straddle Period, and (z) conduct the control of such Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith.

Parent and each applicable Company Group Holder shall jointly pay and share equally (i.e., 50% by Parent and 50% by the applicable Company Group Holders) all Transfer Taxes arising solely in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. If required by applicable Law, the Parties will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate and join in the execution of any Tax Returns or other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

(a)    the transactions described in Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(b), Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(d), Section 2.1(e)(i) and Section 2.1(g) shall have no U.S. federal (or applicable state or local) tax consequences;

(b)    the transactions described in Section 2.1(e)(ii) and Section 2.1(f) shall be treated as a distribution described in Section 731 of the Code, on which no gain or loss is recognized to SASC Feeder or any Parent Acquired Company;

(c)    (i) the Management Company Merger under Section 2.2(a) shall be treated as an “assets-over” partnership merger under Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(3)(i) in which the Management Company is treated as a “terminated partnership,” and Blue Owl Holdings is treated as the continuing partnership, and (ii) to the extent of cash consideration paid in the Management Company Merger, the transactions shall be treated as a taxable sale of Management Company units by the Management Company unitholders occurring immediately prior to such mergers in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(4); provided, that as described in Section 2.2(h) in connection with a Valid Company Group Rollover Election delivered by a Company Group Holder, the Blue Owl Carry Common Units received by such Company Group Holder in the Merger shall be deemed to be the result of a cash payment of the Relevant Value to such Company Group Holder;

(d)    the transactions described in Section 2.2(b) shall be treated as an assignment of the SASC GP Interests from SASC Feeder to Flyer GP Holdings in exchange for their fair market value, which the parties agree shall be equal to $0; and

100

(h)    the transactions described in Section 2.2(g) shall be treated as a taxable purchase pursuant to Section 1001 of the Code by Blue Owl Carry of the Acquired SLP Interests in exchange for the Acquired SLP Interests Purchase Price; and

(i)    as described in Section 2.2(h), a Company Group Holder who is deemed to receive cash of the Relevant Value in the Merger shall be treated as a contribution of cash equal to the Relevant Value to Blue Owl Carry pursuant to Section 721(a) of the Code in exchange for Blue Owl Carry Common Units

(such treatments described in this Section 7.5, together, the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Section 7.5 is solely a statement of intention and nothing in this Section 7.5 shall constitute a guarantee or indemnity with respect to any Intended Tax Treatment contained herein and the Parties shall have no liability whatsoever in respect of this Section 7.5.

Section 7.6    Allocation. Within 75 days following the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, Parent will prepare, and deliver (or cause to be prepared and delivered) to the Sellers’ Representative, an allocation statement allocating amounts treated as consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes among the assets of each Parent Acquired Company (the “Allocation”). The Allocation shall contain sufficient detail to permit the Parties to make the computations and adjustments required under Sections 704(c), 734(b), 743(b), 751 and 755 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Within 45 days after the receipt of the Allocation, the Sellers’ Representative will provide Parent with any proposed changes thereto or will indicate its concurrence therewith. If Parent and the Sellers’ Representative do not agree on the Allocation, then Parent and the Sellers’ Representative shall attempt in good faith to reach agreement on the Allocation, as applicable, in a manner consistent with applicable income Tax Law. If Parent and the Sellers’ Representative cannot reach agreement on the Allocation within 15 days after Parent’s receipt of the Sellers’ Representative’s proposed changes, then Parent and the Sellers’ Representative shall submit the dispute to a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to Parent and the Sellers’ Representative (the “Tax Accounting Firm”) for resolution, acting as an accounting expert (and not as an arbitrator). For this purpose, (x) the Tax Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any disputed item greater than the greatest value for such disputed item claimed by any party or less than the lowest value for such disputed item claimed by any party, and (y) all fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Tax Accounting Firm will be allocated to the applicable Parent Acquired Company. The Allocation, as agreed to by the Parties pursuant to this Section 7.6 or as finally determined by the Tax Accounting Firm, as the case may be, shall be binding on all Parties (the “Final Allocation”). Within 30 days following the Closing Date, Blue Owl Holdings shall deliver a notification under Section 743 of the Code to each of Management Company and SASC Feeder in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.743-1(k)(2).

Section 7.7    Tax Positions. The Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective applicable Affiliates to, in each case except as required by applicable Law: (a) prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the Final Allocation and Intended Tax Treatment (collectively, the “Tax Positions”); (b) take no position in any communication (whether written or unwritten) with any Governmental Entity inconsistent with the Tax Positions; (c) promptly inform each other of

101

any challenge by any Governmental Entity to any portion of the Tax Positions; (d) consult with and keep one another informed with respect to the status of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, any such challenge to any portion of the Tax Positions; and (e) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to defend the Tax Positions in any Tax Proceeding.

Section 7.8    Partnership Tax Audit. Without the prior written consent of Parent, no Party shall or shall cause its respective Affiliates to, make or cause to be made any election under Treasury Regulation Section 301.9100-22 (or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Laws) with respect to any Parent Acquired Company. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and within the scope of its authority, the Sellers’ Representative shall cause itself, or a Person that the Sellers’ Representative reasonably believes will act at the Sellers’ Representative’s direction, to be the “partnership representative” (as such term is used in the Code) for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date for any Parent Acquired Company treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes. With respect to any Tax Proceeding of any Parent Acquired Company that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period and for which the election provided for in Section 6226 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Laws) is available (such election a “Section 6226 Election”), Parent and/or Sellers’ Representative, as applicable, shall (and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to), and the applicable “partnership representative” with respect to such Parent Acquired Company shall, cause such Parent Acquired Company member to, timely make such Section 6226 Election in accordance with applicable Laws with respect to any “imputed underpayment” under Section 6225 of the Code that arises or is assessed in connection with any such Tax Proceeding (and the Parties expressly consent to, and shall reasonably cooperate to the extent requested by Parent or the Sellers’ Representative in, the making of all such available elections).

102

(d)    by the Sellers’ Representative, if Parent breaches any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to a failure of any condition precedent to the Company Group’s obligations to consummate the transactions set forth in Section 2.6 or Section 2.8, and (ii) after the giving of written notice of such breach or failure to perform to Parent by the Company Group has not been cured by the later of (A) the day prior to the Outside Date, and (B) 20 Business Days after receipt of such written notice and the Company Group has not waived in writing such breach or failure; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) shall not be available to the Sellers’ Representative if the Company Group is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, which breach would give rise to a failure of any condition precedent to Parent’s obligations to consummate the transactions set forth in Section 2.6 or Section 2.7; and

(e)    by Parent, if the Company Group breaches any of their representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the Company Group breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to a failure of any condition precedent to Parent’s obligations to consummate the transactions set forth in Section 2.6 or Section 2.7 of this Agreement, and (ii) after the giving of written notice of such breach or failure to perform to the Company Group by Parent, has not been cured by the later of (A) the day prior to the Outside Date, and (B) 20 Business Days after the delivery of such written notice and Parent has not waived in writing such breach or failure; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) shall not be available to Parent if Parent is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, which breach would give rise to a failure of any condition precedent to the Company Group’s obligations to consummate the transactions set forth in Section 2.6 or Section 2.8.

Section 9.2    Indemnification.

(a)    Indemnification by the Company Group. Following the Closing, the Company Group Holders shall indemnify, defend, hold harmless and reimburse each member of the Blue Owl Group and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, successors and permitted assigns, in their capacity as such (the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against all Losses imposed on, incurred or suffered by any Parent Indemnified Party to the extent arising out of or relating to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article III, (ii) any breach of any covenant of the Company Group contained in this Agreement, (iii) any Company Pre-Closing Taxes or (iv) any Company Reorganization Taxes; provided that, in respect of clause (iv), Losses in respect of Company Reorganization Taxes shall be indemnified as follows: (A) Losses in respect of Taxes arising directly as a result of the Company Reorganization structure not resulting in a tax-free reorganization shall only be indemnified by the Company Group Holders pursuant to clause (iv) in an amount equal to 50% of any such Loss and (B) Losses in respect of Taxes arising directly as a result of the Company Reorganization not being implemented in accordance with the steps set forth in Section 2.1 shall be indemnified by the Company Group Holders pursuant to clause (iv) in an amount equal to 100% of any such Loss, in each case, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article IX.

Section 9.3    Claim Procedures.

(a)    In order for an Indemnified Party to duly make a valid claim under Section 9.2, the Indemnified Party must promptly, but in no event later than 60 days from the date that the Indemnified Party first becomes aware of such claim, provide written notice to the Sellers’ Representative (in the case of a claim made by a Parent Indemnified Party) or to Parent (in the case of a claim made by a Company Group Indemnified Person) (the recipient of such notice, the “Indemnifying Party”), which notice shall set forth a description in reasonable detail of the occurrence(s) specified in Section 9.2 which the Indemnified Party alleges to have occurred (including, if applicable, an identification of any specific representation that is alleged to have been breached), a description of the facts and circumstances giving rise to such occurrences, the estimated amount of Losses imposed, incurred, suffered or asserted in connection therewith or arising therefrom (to the extent then ascertainable), and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that, subject to and without limitation of Section 9.1, any failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in delivering a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification under this Article IX, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced by such failure or delay. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with and provide to the Indemnifying Party such information under the Indemnified Party’s control as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request for the purposes of determining the validity of the allegations made in the Claim Notice and shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably and promptly informed of factual and procedural developments (including additional information which may come under the Indemnified Party’s control) in connection therewith.

(b)    In the event the Claim Notice results from any Proceeding asserted or threatened against the Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”):

(i)    The Indemnified Party shall provide the Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party not later than 10 Business Days following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of the Third-Party Claim, and, in any event, not less than 10 Business Days preceding the date by which an appearance is required to be made before a court, arbitrator or other tribunal or an answer or similar pleading is required to be filed in a litigation or other proceeding; provided that the failure to timely provide a Claim Notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such failure has a material prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(ii)    During the period ending on the earlier of 30 calendar days following the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the Claim Notice and five calendar days preceding the date on which an appearance is required to be made before a court, arbitrator

105

or other tribunal or an answer or similar pleading is required to be filed in a litigation or other proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to assume and control the defense of the Third-Party Claim, unless (i) the Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable or non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Third-Party Claim arises in connection with any criminal matter, (iii) there is a reasonable probability that the Third-Party Claim may adversely affect in any material respect the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages, or (iv) the Third-Party Claim is with respect to Taxes or Tax matters, in which case it shall be governed by Section 7.3 rather than this Section 9.3(b). Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or claim and to participate in the defense thereof either (I) at its own expense or (II) at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense if (1) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (2) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable or (3) one or more defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the Indemnifying Party (provided that, in the case of clauses (1), (2) or (3), the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties, other than local counsel, in any action or claim or group of related actions or claims).

(1)    If that the Indemnifying Party duly and timely makes such election, such election shall constitute the Indemnifying Party’s conclusive acknowledgment that the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified, defended, held harmless and reimbursed in accordance with this Article IX for, from and against the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power (as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and their respective Affiliates) to direct and control such defense and the settlement, arbitration, litigation and appellate strategy relating to the Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled but not obligated to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing for such purpose on its account; provided that, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there are defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then the reasonable fees and expenses of one external law firm to the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided, further, that, if (i) the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party are both named parties to the proceedings and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts between them or (ii) the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party has failed to pursue a Third-Party Claim it has assumed in a reasonably diligent manner, as provided in the first sentence of Section 9.3(b)(ii)(2), the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of one additional counsel (in addition to, but only to the extent necessary, one local counsel) which shall represent all Indemnified Parties arising out of the same or similar set of circumstances in connection with such defense. If the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle such claims; provided that, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written

106

consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle, compromise or offer to settle, compromise or cease to defend such Third-Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or cessation would result in (A) any monetary Liability of the Indemnified Party that will not be promptly paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party; (B) the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; (C) a finding or admission of a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; (D) a finding or admission that would have an adverse effect on other claims made or threatened against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates which are not indemnifiable under this Agreement; or (E) any non-monetary condition or obligation being imposed on any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.

(2)    If the Indemnifying Party (A) does not duly and timely make such election, or (B) after timely making such election, fails to take reasonable steps to defend diligently the Third-Party Claim within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled but not obligated to notify the Indemnifying Party of its election to assume and control such defense from the Indemnifying Party, whereupon the Indemnified Party and not the Indemnifying Party shall have the powers described in the first sentence of Section 9.3(b)(ii)(1); provided that the Indemnified Party’s right to be indemnified, defended, held harmless and reimbursed in respect of the Third-Party Claim shall not otherwise be affected by such election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall have no Liability with respect to a Third-Party Claim settled without its prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(3)    The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate to ensure the proper and adequate investigation and defense of all Third-Party Claims. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall keep each other fully and promptly informed with respect to the status of all Third-Party Claims and shall deliver to each other copies of all material written notices and documents (including court papers) received by the other that relate to any Third-Party Claims. The Person controlling the defense of a Third-Party Claim shall in good faith allow the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, as the case may be, to make comments to the materials filed or submitted in such defense, and shall consider such comments in good faith.

Section 9.4    Loss and Recoveries.

(a)    No Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except to the extent awarded by a court to a third party in connection with a Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified, defended, held harmless or reimbursed pursuant to this Article IX in respect of, and Losses shall not include, any punitive, special or exemplary damages, loss of profit or loss of opportunity, loss of reputation, consequential losses or any other indirect damages, except to the extent any such consequential, special or indirect damages (i) were reasonably foreseeable as of the date of this Agreement, (ii) were proximately caused by the applicable breach giving rise to the applicable claim for indemnification hereunder and (iii) are not based on any special circumstances of any Indemnified Party that were not within the reasonable contemplation of the Parties as of the date hereof.

107

(b)    Insurance and Other Proceeds; Duty to Mitigate. In calculating the amount of any Loss, the proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates under any insurance policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, in each case relating to the matters described in the Claim Notice shall be deducted. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any such insurance or other proceeds from third parties to the same extent such Indemnified Party would recover such proceeds if such Losses were not subject to indemnification under this Agreement. Each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses that form the basis of any claim for indemnification under this Article IX.

(c)    Limitations on Company Group Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover on a claim for indemnification under clause (i) of Section 9.2(a) for any Losses (i) unless the amount of Losses exceeds $250,000 and (ii) then only to the extent that all such Losses that meet the requirements of the preceding clause (i) in the aggregate exceed $12,000,000; provided that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to any claim for indemnification with respect to any breach of the Company Group Fundamental Representations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Section 9.5(a), in no event shall the Company Group Holders be liable for any Losses under Section 9.2(a) (when taken together with all other Losses indemnifiable in accordance with the terms of this Article IX) in excess of $60,000,000.

(d)    Limitations on Parent Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Company Group Indemnified Person shall not be entitled to recover on a claim for indemnification under Section 9.2(b) for any Losses (i) unless the amount of each such Losses exceeds $250,000 and (ii) then only to the extent that all such Losses that meet the requirements of the preceding clause (i) in the aggregate exceed $12,000,000; provided that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to any claim for indemnification with respect to any breach of the Parent Fundamental Representations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Parent be liable for any Losses under Section 9.2(b) (when taken together with all other Losses indemnifiable in accordance with the terms of this Article IX) in excess of $60,000,000.

(e)    No Duplication of Remedies. The amount of any Losses to which any Indemnified Party is entitled hereunder shall be determined without duplication of any other recovery hereunder in respect of such Losses, and, in furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Party shall have any obligations or liability under this Article IX with respect to any amount to the extent such amount has already been recovered by the applicable Indemnified Party(ies).

Section 9.5    Payments.

(a)    Satisfaction of Losses. Without limitation of the terms of Section 9.4, the Parent Indemnified Parties’ sole recourse with respect to any Loss to which any Parent Indemnified Parties is entitled to indemnification in accordance with this Article IX shall be to set off against the cash portion of any Earnout Payments payable (if applicable) by Parent to the Company Group Holders, which set off shall be applied on a pro rata basis based upon the allocation set forth in Section 9.5(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

108

(b)    Limited Recourse Against the Company Group Holder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to make any claim, demand or otherwise seek any remedy or recovery directly from or against any Company Group Holder under or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; rather, without limitation of the terms of Section 9.4, any and all such claims, demands, remedies or recoveries from or against any Company Group Holder shall be pursuant to, and recourse solely against, the cash portion of the Earnout Payments payable by Parent to the Company Group Holders as provided in Section 9.5(a).

(c)    Treatment of Payments. All payments made by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim pursuant to Section 9.2 shall be treated as adjustments to the consideration paid pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for Tax purposes to the extent permitted under applicable Law.

Section 9.6    Effect of Investigation. The rights of Parent to indemnification or any other remedy under this Agreement shall not be impacted or limited by any knowledge that Parent may have acquired, or could have acquired, whether before or after the Closing Date, nor by any investigation or diligence by Parent. The Company Group hereby acknowledges that, regardless of any investigation made (or not made) by or on behalf of Parent, and regardless of the results of any such investigation, Parent has entered into the Transactions in express reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Company Group made in this Agreement.

Section 9.7    Exclusive Remedies. Following the Closing, no Party shall assert against any other Party any claim, cause of action, right or remedy, or any Proceeding, relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection with this Agreement or therewith, other than (a) claims pursuant to and in accordance with Article VII and this Article IX, (b) claims that a Party committed Fraud, (c) claims for specific enforcement or injunction pursuant to Section 10.9 and (d) claims in respect of any covenant or agreement that by its terms contemplates performance after the Closing or pursuant to the terms of any Ancillary Agreement. Following the Closing, the claims specified in clauses (a) through (d) of the previous sentence shall constitute the Parties’ sole and exclusive rights and remedies available to the Indemnified Parties for any and all Losses or other claims relating to or arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any document or instrument delivered in connection with this Agreement or therewith, and shall supersede all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity (including any right of rescission, right of contribution or claim arising under applicable statutes).

Article X

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1    Amendment and Waiver. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Parent and the Sellers’ Representative. No waiver of any provision or condition of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Party against which such waiver is to be enforced

109

(if such Party is Parent after the Closing, with the approval of the independent directors of Parent). No waiver by any Party of any default, breach of representation or warranty or breach of covenant under this Agreement, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any other, prior or subsequent default or breach or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any other, prior or subsequent such occurrence.

Section 10.2    Notices. All notices, demands and other communications to be given or delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when personally delivered (or, if delivery is refused, upon presentment) or received by email (with confirmation of transmission) prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day and, if otherwise, on the next Business Day, (b) one Business Day following sending by reputable overnight express courier (charges prepaid) or (c) three days following mailing by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested.

Section 10.3    Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by any Party (including by operation of Law, including in connection with a merger or consolidation or conversion of Parent) without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Any purported assignment or delegation not permitted under this Section 10.3 shall be null and void.

Section 10.4    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

Section 10.5    Interpretation. The headings and captions used in this Agreement and the table of contents to this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way

111

the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Any capitalized terms used in any Disclosure Letter, Schedule or Exhibit attached to this Agreement or delivered at the same time and not otherwise defined therein shall have the meanings set forth in this Agreement. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall mean “including without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References in this Agreement to a specific Section, Subsection, Clause, Recital, Section of a Disclosure Letter, Schedule or Exhibit shall refer, respectively, to Sections, Subsections, Clauses, Recitals, Sections of a Disclosure Letter, Schedules or Exhibits of this Agreement. Terms defined in the singular shall have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa. References in this Agreement to any gender shall include each other gender. The word “or” shall not be exclusive unless the context clearly requires the selection of one (but not more than one) of a number of items. References to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form. References in this Agreement to any Person shall include such Person’s heirs, executors, personal representatives, administrators, successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 10.5 is intended to authorize any assignment or transfer not otherwise permitted by this Agreement. References in this Agreement to a Person in a particular capacity or capacities shall exclude such Person in any other capacity. Any reference to “days” shall mean calendar days unless Business Days are specified; provided that if any action is required to be done or taken on a day that is not a Business Day, then such action shall be required to be done or taken not on such day but on the first succeeding Business Day thereafter. References in this Agreement to any Contract (including this Agreement) mean such Contract as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof; provided that with respect to any Contract listed (or required to be listed) on the Disclosure Letters, all material amendments and modifications thereto (but excluding any purchase orders, work orders or statements of work) must also be listed on the appropriate section of the applicable Disclosure Letter. With respect to the determination of any period of time, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to but excluding.” References in this Agreement to any Law shall be deemed also to refer to such Law, as amended, and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, covenant or agreement relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” (or similar phrases) shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” An accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP. Except where otherwise provided, all amounts in this Agreement are stated and shall be paid in United States dollars. The Parties and their respective counsel have reviewed and negotiated this Agreement as the joint agreement and understanding of the Parties, and the language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. Any information or materials shall be deemed provided, made available or delivered to Parent and the Company Group, if such information or materials have been (a) uploaded to the electronic data room maintained by the Company Group and its financial advisor on the Intralinks online-platform for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Data Room”), (b) filed by a Party with the SEC

112

and publicly available on the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (EDGAR) database of the SEC, or (c) or otherwise provided to Parent’s, or the Company Group’s representatives (including counsel) via electronic mail, in each case, at least two Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement.

Section 10.6    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Disclosure Letters and Exhibits to this Agreement), the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement contain the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and, thereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings and discussions (including any drafts of a non-binding letter of intent between the Company Group and Parent), whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter in any way. The Parties have voluntarily agreed to define their rights and Liabilities with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exclusively pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and the Parties disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Furthermore, this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations, and no Person has any special relationship with another Person that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary Parent and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6, in the event the Closing is not consummated pursuant to this Agreement, nothing set forth in this Agreement shall in any way amend, alter, terminate, supersede or otherwise effect the Parties’ or their respective Affiliates’ Equity Securities or any Contract to which the Parties or their respective Affiliates are party or are bound (other than (x) this Agreement, (y) the Confidentiality Agreement and (z) in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, in which case only as set forth in Section 8.2), including the certificates of incorporation, formation or limited partnership, bylaws, limited liability company agreements, limited partnership agreements and/or other similar governing documents of any of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries.

Section 10.7    Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts and by fax, email or other electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement. No Party shall raise the use of a fax machine or email to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a fax machine or email as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a Contract and each Party forever waives any such defense.

Section 10.8    Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction. The Law of the State of Delaware shall govern (a) all claims or matters related to or arising from this Agreement (including any tort or non-contractual claims) and (b) any questions concerning the construction, interpretation, validity and enforceability of this Agreement, and the performance of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, in each case without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR

113

AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of first, the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or if such court declines jurisdiction, then to the Federal District Court for the District of Delaware, in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the Proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court (the “Delaware Courts”) and agrees not to bring any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other courts. Nothing in this Section 10.8, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law or at equity. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law or at equity.

Section 10.9    Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached, money damages would be inadequate (and therefore the non-breaching Party would have no adequate remedy at Law) and the non-breaching Party would be irreparably damaged. Accordingly, each Party agrees that each other Party shall be entitled to specific performance, an injunction or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security or needing to prove irreparable harm) to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any Proceeding (subject to Section 10.8), in addition to any other remedy to which such Person may be entitled. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.9 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

Section 10.10    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give any Person, other than the Parties and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder (other than (a) as set forth in Article VII, or (b) in respect of the Company Group Indemnified Persons, each of whom is an express third-party beneficiary hereunder to the specific provisions in which such Person is referenced and entitled to enforce only such obligations hereunder).

Section 10.11    Disclosure Letters and Exhibits. The Disclosure Letters and Exhibits attached hereto or referred to in this Agreement are (a) each by this Agreement incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein and (b) qualified in their entirety by

114

reference to specific provisions of this Agreement. Any fact or item disclosed in any Section of a Disclosure Letter relating to the respective representations and warranties of a Party shall be deemed disclosed in each other Section relating to the respective representations and warranties of such Party of the applicable Disclosure Letter to which such fact or item may apply, so long as (i) such other Section is referenced by applicable cross-reference or (ii) other than as it relates to Section 3.6, it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other Section or portion of the Disclosure Letter. The headings contained in the Disclosure Letters are for convenience of reference only, and shall not be deemed to modify or influence the interpretation of the information contained in the Disclosure Letters or this Agreement. The Disclosure Letters are not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as, an admission or indication that any such fact or item is required to be disclosed. The Disclosure Letters shall not be deemed to expand in any way the scope or effect of any representations, warranties or covenants described in this Agreement. Any fact or item, including the specification of any dollar amount, disclosed in the Disclosure Letters shall not by reason only of such inclusion be deemed to be material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement, and matters reflected in the Disclosure Letters are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected herein, and may be included solely for information purposes; and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in the Disclosure Letters in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in the Disclosure Letters is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the Ordinary Course of Business. No disclosure in the Disclosure Letters relating to any possible breach or violation of any Contract, Law or Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. Moreover, in disclosing the information in the Disclosure Letters, the Parties do not waive any attorney-client privilege associated with such information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed therein. The information contained in the Disclosure Letters shall be kept strictly confidential in accordance with Section 6.3 by the Parties, and no third party may rely on any information disclosed or set forth therein.

Section 10.12    Legal Representation and Privilege.

(a)    Each Party hereby agrees that Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP (or any successor thereto) may represent Company Group Holders or the Sellers’ Representative or any direct or indirect director, manager, officer, owner, employee or Affiliate thereof (other than, following the Closing, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries), in connection with any dispute, claim, Proceeding or Liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (any such representation, the “Company Post-Closing Representation”) notwithstanding its representation (or any continued representation) of the Company Group in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each Party hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any conflict of interest or any objection arising therefrom or relating thereto, even though the interests of the Company Post-Closing Representation may be directly adverse to Parent and its Subsidiaries.

(b)    Each of the Parties acknowledges that the foregoing provision applies whether or not Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP provides legal services to any member of the

115

Company Group after the Closing Date. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications among Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP (or any other counsel that represented the Company Group), the Company Group and/or any director, manager, officer, owner, employee or representative of any of the foregoing made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute, claim, Proceeding or Liability arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, are privileged communications, and shall remain privileged after the Closing, and the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence and work product and other immunities belongs solely to the Company Group Holders and shall be exclusively controlled by the Sellers’ Representative, and shall not pass to or be claimed by Parent, any Subsidiary of Parent (including the Company Group) or any other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between any Party, on the one hand, and a third party, on the other hand, such Party may assert the attorney-client privilege or work product or other immunities to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party; provided, however, that no Party may waive such privilege or other immunity without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative.

Section 10.13    Acknowledgements. Parent specifically acknowledges and agrees to the Company Group’s disclaimer of any representations or warranties other than those set forth in Article III and any Ancillary Agreement or certificate delivered by the Company Group pursuant to this Agreement, whether made by the Company Group or any of its Affiliates or representatives, and of all Liability and responsibility for any representation, warranty, projection, forecast, statement, or information made, communicated, or furnished (orally or in writing) to Parent, its Affiliates or representatives (including any opinion, information, projection, or advice that may have been or may be provided to Parent, its Affiliates or representatives by the Company Group or any of its Affiliates or representatives), other than those set forth in Article III and any Ancillary Agreement or certificate delivered by the Company Group pursuant to this Agreement. Parent specifically acknowledges and agrees that, without limiting the generality of this Section 10.13, none of the Company Group or any of its Affiliates or representatives has made any representation or warranty with respect to any projections or other future forecasts, and Parent has not relied on, or been induced by any such representation or warranty or other statement of the Company Group in making its determination to enter into this Agreement and proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent (a) specifically acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties set forth in Article III and any Ancillary Agreement or certificate delivered by the Company Group pursuant to this Agreement, none of the Company Group or any of its Affiliates or representatives has made, any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company Group or the Transactions, (b) irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes any and all rights, Proceedings or causes of action (in each case, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, known or unknown, or due or to become due, express or implied, in law or in equity, or based on contract, tort or otherwise) based on or relating to any such other representation or warranty and (c) irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes any and all rights, Proceedings and causes of action (in each case, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, known or unknown, or due or to become due, express or implied, in Law or in equity, or based on contract, tort or otherwise) against the Company Group in connection with the accuracy, completeness or materiality of any projection.

116

Section 10.14    No Recourse. Other than in connection with any applicable Merger Support Agreement, Restrictive Covenant Agreement, Consent and Release, any Election Form or any other Ancillary Agreement, in each case, to which such Company Group Holder is a party, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, Company Group Holder, member, shareholder or other holder (whether direct or indirect) Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any member of the Company Group or the Sellers’ Representative shall have any Liability for any obligations or Liabilities of the members of the Company Group or the Sellers’ Representative, as applicable, under this Agreement or for any Proceeding based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transactions. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, member, partner, shareholder or other owner (whether direct or indirect), Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Blue Owl Group shall have any Liability for any obligations or Liabilities of the members of the Blue Owl Group under this Agreement or for any claims or losses based on, in respect or, or by reason of, the Transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions (other than, with respect to a Company Group Holder, in respect of any applicable Merger Support Agreement, Restrictive Covenant Agreement, Consent and Release, any Election Form or any other Ancillary Agreement, in each case, to which such Company Group Holder is a party) may be brought only against, the entities that are expressly identified herein as parties to this Agreement.
