2.5.1 Adjustment Statement Preparation. As soon as practicable, but in any event not more than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall in good faith prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative an adjustment statement setting forth the amount of the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Working Capital, and the Cash and Cash Equivalents, in each case, as of the Closing and, based on the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Working Capital, and the Cash and Cash Equivalents as derived therefrom, the Purchaser’s written calculation of the Transaction Consideration, and the adjustment (if any) necessary to reconcile the Estimated Transaction Consideration to the Transaction Consideration (the “Preliminary

Adjustment Statement”). The Preliminary Adjustment Statement shall be prepared and dated as of 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time zone on the Closing Date, in accordance with the Accounting Principles and, except where inconsistent with the Accounting Principles, using the same accounting principles and practices as the Company has used historically, and in accordance with the definitions of Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital, and Cash and Cash Equivalents as defined in this Agreement. The Preliminary Adjustment Statement will entirely disregard (i) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Purchaser or any other transaction entered into by Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) any of the plans, transactions, or changes which Purchaser intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their business or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Purchaser or any of its assets or liabilities. If a Preliminary Adjustment Statement is not timely delivered by the Purchaser, then the Sellers’ Representative shall have the option, in its own discretion, of (i) electing, by written notice to the Purchaser, for the Estimated Transaction Consideration to be final and binding on Purchaser and the Sellers or (ii) electing to prepare a Preliminary Adjustment Statement and delivering it to the Purchaser no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, in which case the review, dispute resolution and adjustment payment provisions set forth in Sections 2.5.2-2.5.5 shall apply to Purchaser in the same manner in which they would have applied to the Sellers if Purchaser had delivered a timely and complete Preliminary Adjustment Statement, mutatis mutandis. For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.5, each Party shall cooperate with and make available to the other Parties, their respective Representatives, and the Accounting Referee, if any, all information, records, data and working papers, and shall permit access to its facilities and direct access to its personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the resolution of any disputes thereunder.

2.5.2 Adjustment Statement Review. If the Sellers’ Representative reasonably believes that the Preliminary Adjustment Statement is inaccurate or was not properly prepared in accordance with Section 2.5.1, the Sellers’ Representative shall so notify the Purchaser no later than thirty (30) days after the Sellers’ Representative’s receipt thereof, setting forth in such notice its objections to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement with particularity and the specific changes which the Sellers’ Representative proposes to be made in order to conform the Preliminary Adjustment Statement to the terms of Section 2.5.1.

2.5.3 Adjustment Statement Dispute Resolution. If the Sellers’ Representative timely notifies the Purchaser of an objection by the Sellers’ Representative to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement in accordance with Section 2.5.2, and if the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser are unable to resolve such dispute through good faith negotiations within thirty (30) days after the Sellers’ Representative’s delivery of such notice of objection, then the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser shall mutually engage and submit such dispute to, and the same shall be finally resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement by, Baker Tilly or, if such firm declines the representation, a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser (the accounting firm ultimately chosen, the “Accounting Referee”). The Accounting Referee shall determine and report in writing to the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser as to the resolution of all disputed matters and the effect of such determinations on the Preliminary Adjustment Statement within thirty (30) days after such submission or such longer period as the Accounting Referee may reasonably require, and such determinations shall be final, binding, and conclusive on the Parties and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. In making such calculations and determination, the Accounting Referee (A) shall consider only whether the calculations of such disputed amounts were prepared in accordance with this Agreement and whether there were mathematical errors in the Preliminary Adjustment Statement (and the Accounting Referee is not authorized or permitted to make any other determination), (B) shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the definitions contained herein and (C) shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Accounting Referee’s determination of any Disputed Amount

shall be based solely on written materials, presentations and arguments submitted and/or made by Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative (i.e., not based on an independent review). The fees and disbursements of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by the Party (i.e., the Sellers, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand) that assigned amounts to items in dispute that were, on a net basis, furthest in amount from the amount finally determined by the Accounting Referee (however, such fees and disbursements shall be shared equally in the event that the Parties’ assigned amounts were, on a net basis, both no more than 10% from the amount finally determined by the Accounting Referee).

2.5.4 Final Adjustment Statement. The Preliminary Adjustment Statement shall become the “Final Adjustment Statement” and as such shall become final, binding and conclusive on the Parties for all purposes of this Agreement and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, upon the earliest to occur of the following:

(a) the mutual acceptance by the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, with such changes thereto, if any, as may be proposed by the Sellers’ Representative and consented to by the Purchaser;

(b) the expiration of thirty (30) days after the Sellers’ Representative’s, or the Purchaser’s, receipt of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, without timely written objection by the Sellers’ Representative, or the Purchaser, in accordance with Section 2.5.2; or

(c) the delivery to the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser by the Accounting Referee of the final report of its determination of all disputed matters submitted to the Accounting Referee pursuant to Section 2.5.3.

2.5.5 Adjustment of Transaction Consideration. If the Transaction Consideration, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.5, is greater than the Estimated Transaction Consideration, the Purchaser shall pay the amount of such difference for the benefit of the Sellers in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing to the Purchaser by the Sellers’ Representative within five (5) Business Days of final determination of the Transaction Consideration. If the Transaction Consideration, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.5, is less than the Estimated Transaction Consideration, then the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser shall direct the Escrow Agent to pay to Purchaser from the Escrow Account an amount equal to such deficiency, up to the Escrowed Adjustment Amount, within five (5) Business Days of final determination of the Transaction Consideration. If the Escrowed Adjustment Amount is inadequate to discharge the amount owed by Sellers, the Sellers (with several liability for such obligation) promptly shall pay the balance owed to the Purchaser. For tax purposes, any payment by the Purchaser or the Sellers under this Section 2.5 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Transaction Consideration.

2.6 Intentionally Omitted.

2.7 Insurance Policy The Purchaser shall obtain the R&W Policy with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company, Blocker LLC, Splitter LP and the Sellers in this Agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to the Sellers’ Representative, including a waiver of subrogation as to all Sellers (and their related parties and Affiliates, with all of them as third party beneficiaries of the provision), other than in the case of a final adjudication against such person for Fraud, and that the Sellers shall be a third party beneficiary of the foregoing provision. The Purchaser shall not enter into any amendment, variation, or waiver of the foregoing subrogation provision without the prior written consent of the Sellers' Representative. All costs and expenses and other amounts incurred in connection with the R&W Policy, whether incurred prior to or after the Closing, shall be paid by the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.7 shall obligate the Purchaser for any fees or expenses of the attorneys of the Company Group (prior to Closing) or the Sellers.

2.8 Proceedings. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, all proceedings that will be taken and all documents that will be executed and delivered by the Parties on the Closing Date will be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously, and no proceedings will be deemed taken nor any document executed and delivered until all such proceedings have been taken, and all such documents have been executed and delivered.

Neither the Sellers nor the Company Group (nor any of their Affiliates or Representatives) is making, directly or indirectly, any representation or warranty with respect to any estimates, projections, or forecasts involving the Company Group, including as contained in the Information Memorandum and the Management Presentation. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that there are inherent uncertainties in attempting to make such estimates, projections, and forecasts and that Purchaser takes full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of any such estimates, projections, or forecasts (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying any such estimates, projections, or forecasts). The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, should the Closing occur, the Purchaser is acquiring the Securities without any representation or warranty as to the merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of the Company Group’s respective assets, the nature or extent of any liabilities or Indebtedness, the prospects of the business of the Company Group, or the effectiveness or the success of any business operations and on an “as is” and “where is” basis, except as expressly set forth, in the case of the Company Group, in Article III of this Agreement and the Schedules specifically identified in Article III, and in the case of the Sellers, in Articles III and IV of this Agreement and the Schedules specifically identified in Articles III and IV of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5.6 is intended to modify or limit any

of the express representations or warranties of the Company Group or each Seller set forth in Article III, or of each Seller in Article IV. The provisions of this Section 5.9, together with the limited exclusive remedies provided in Article VII and Article IX, were specifically bargained-for between the Purchaser, the Sellers, and the Company Group in arriving at the consideration to be paid under this Agreement.

6.1 Further Actions. From time to time, as and when reasonably requested by any Party to this Agreement, the other Parties will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions, as the requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in any such case, at the requesting Party’s sole cost and expense.

6.2 Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Sellers. From the Closing through the sixth anniversary of the Closing, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company Group to, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, each person who was or is made a party or threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was at any time prior to the Closing a director, officer, member or shareholder of the Company Group (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) against all Damages reasonably incurred or suffered by such Company Indemnified Party in connection therewith, whether claimed prior to, at, or after the Closing. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 6.2 shall include the right to be paid by each of the Purchaser, the Company Group (including any of their successors and assigns) for the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding, in advance of its final disposition, within thirty days of receipt by the Purchaser, the Company Group from the Company Indemnified Party of a written claim therefor. The Organizational Documents of the Company Group shall contain, and Purchaser shall cause the Organizational Documents of the Company Group to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation of present and former directors of the Company Group than are set forth in the Organizational Documents of the Company Group as of the Effective Date. If the Purchaser, the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries, or any of their successors or assigns (a) consolidates with or merges with or into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity, partnership, or other entity of such consolidation or merger or (b) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company Group assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.2. Prior to Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall procure, at the sole cost and expense of the Purchaser, a six-year tail on the current officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy (the “D&O Insurance”) covering the persons who were officers and directors at any time during the twelve month period prior to the Closing with respect to actions or omissions occurring prior to the Closing Date. Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to create liability for the Company as it exists prior to Closing. The Purchaser covenants for itself and its Affiliates (including the Company Group from and after the Closing), successors, assigns, heirs, legatees, and personal representatives that it shall not institute any demand, action, suit, proceeding, litigation, claim, or any other action or proceeding against any of the Company Indemnified Parties, in their capacity as such, with respect to any Damages arising from or relating to actions occurring prior to the Closing in connection with or otherwise related to or arising from the Company or its Subsidiaries, whether or not such Company Indemnified Parties would be entitled to indemnification by the Company Group or the Purchaser under this Section 6.2. Other than with respect to Fraud, a breach of this Agreement, or a breach of any applicable Ancillary Agreement, effective as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser hereby releases, and shall cause the Company Group to release, each Company Indemnified Person from any and all actions, causes, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckoning, bonds, bills, liabilities, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, extents, executions, claims, and demands relating to the Company Group occurring prior to the Closing (each, a ”Released Claim”), and agrees not to bring or threaten to bring or otherwise join in any Released Claim against the Company Indemnified Parties or any of them, relating to, arising

out of, or in connection with any facts or circumstances relating to the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries which existed on or prior to the Closing Date, other than with respect to Fraud, breach of this Agreement, or breach of an applicable Ancillary Agreement.

6.3 Conduct of Business of the Company.

During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Closing: (i) the Company Group will, and the Sellers will use their commercially reasonable efforts to, cause the Company Group to conduct its operations in the Ordinary Course, save and except for actions that are reasonably necessary to prepare for Closing or any post-Closing transition, and (ii) without the prior written consent of the Purchaser which shall not unreasonably be withheld, assets of the Company Group not considered material Current Assets shall not be disposed of outside of the Ordinary Course unless replaced with assets of similar quality and quantity.

6.4 Exclusive Dealing.

During the period from the Effective Date to the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Sellers, including the Sponsor (and the Affiliates of such Persons) will not, nor shall the Sellers, including the Sponsor permit the Company Group to, take any action to engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person other than the Purchaser (and its Affiliates and Representatives) concerning any purchase of any interests or investment in, or any merger, asset sale, recapitalization, or similar transaction involving, the Company Group.

6.5 Review of the Company.

Prior to the Closing, the Sellers will cause the Company Group to give the Purchaser, directly or through its Affiliates or Representatives, access to the operations, books, and records of the Company Group to the extent the Purchaser deems it necessary or advisable to have such access. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Purchaser and its Representatives shall under no circumstance contact any employee, contractor, agent, supplier, or customer of the Company or its Subsidiaries without the advance written consent of the Company and, if consent is given, only on such terms as are approved by the Company, with the understanding that the Company shall be involved in such process and that no information received from any such contact shall be relied upon as a representation or warranty (x) by the Company, unless expressly set forth in, and limited to, Article III of this Agreement and the Schedules specifically identified in Article III or (y) by the Sellers, unless expressly set forth in, and limited to, Articles III and IV of this Agreement and the Schedules specifically identified in Articles III and IV of this Agreement; (b) any due diligence shall be conducted in a manner that is least disruptive to the operations and employees of the Company Group; and (c) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be obligated to provide any documentation or communication if the disclosure of such information in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company would jeopardize an attorney-client privilege or any work product doctrine.

6.6 Commercially Reasonable Actions.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from the Effective Date to the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the covenants set forth in this Agreement; comply with all applicable Laws, Orders, and Permits; and cause to be done all other things reasonably necessary, proper, or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.7 Update of Schedules.

The Company and the Sellers shall have the right prior to Closing to supplement, modify, or amend the Schedules with respect to any matter arising or discovered after the Effective Date which if existing or known at the Effective Date would have been required to be set forth or described in such Schedules and also with respect to events or conditions arising after the Effective Date and prior to Closing. Any such supplemented, modified, or amended Schedules shall be deemed to have cured any breach of any term or condition set forth in this Agreement.

6.8 Intentionally Omitted.

6.9 Closing Conditions. From the date hereof until the Closing, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are reasonably necessary to satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof at or prior to the Closing.

6.10 R&W Insurance. The Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions required to be taken by the Purchaser to obtain and bind the R&W Policy on the terms and conditions set forth in the Binder Agreement in order to satisfy any conditions to the effectiveness of the R&W Policy or the coverage to be provided thereby. The Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid, all costs and expenses related to the R&W Policy, including the total premium, underwriting costs, brokerage commissions, and other fees and expenses of such policy, as and when required by the Binder Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser shall timely pay all premiums and other amounts required to cause the R&W Policy to become and/or remain effective in accordance with its terms as of the Closing. The R&W Policy shall be bound as of the date hereof, and shall include interim breach coverage for the period between the date hereof and the Closing. During the term of the R&W Policy, the Purchaser (i) shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, to maintain the R&W Policy in full force and effect and (ii) shall not, and shall not permit its Subsidiaries to, (A) amend, repeal or modify any provision of the R&W Policy without Seller’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, it being understood that it shall not be unreasonable for Seller to withhold consent in the event that any such amendment, repeal or modification would adversely affect the Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion), (B) take any action or omit to take any action that would result in the cancellation, termination, amendment or modification of the R&W Insurance Policy or coverage thereunder other than by payment of claims thereunder, (C) permit the assignment, substitution or transfer of the rights or obligations of the insurer under the R&W Policy other than as allowed by the terms of the R&W Policy.

6.11 Merger Control Notifications. The Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of each of the Sellers shall (a) make the notification filings required of it or any of its Affiliates (the “Notification Filings”) pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended (the “HSR Act”), no later than seven (7) Business Days following the date hereof and shall request “early termination” for such filings, (b) as soon as practicable, make all filings or, as appropriate, submit to Governmental Authorities drafts of filings, to comply with any other Antitrust Law and use reasonable best efforts to timely obtain all consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances and approvals, and to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods, (c) comply at the earliest practicable date with any request for additional information or documentary material received by it or any of its Affiliates from the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), or any other Governmental Authority under any Antitrust Law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (d) cooperate with one another in connection with any filings under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Law and in connection with resolving any investigation or inquiry concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement initiated by the FTC, the DOJ, or any other Governmental Authority under any Antitrust Law, and (e) use reasonable best efforts to cause the waiting periods under the HSR Act to terminate or expire, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as possible and, in any event and in each case,

prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 6.11, “reasonable best efforts” includes the Purchaser’s obligation, to the extent necessary to effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby no later than the Closing Date, (a) to negotiate, agree to, or implement, by contract, consent decree, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, holding separate, or license of any businesses, operations, or assets with revenue of up to $15,000,000 or equivalent value of Purchaser or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that Purchaser shall not enter into any agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause that affects the business, operations, or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries unless the effectiveness of such agreement is conditioned upon the prior occurrence of the Closing, or (b) to engage in litigation or other adversary proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, concerning the legality of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby under any Antitrust Law. Each party shall (i) notify the other parties promptly of any material communication received from the FTC, the DOJ, or any other Governmental Authority under any Antitrust Law relating to the Notification Filings or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) provide the other parties in advance, with a reasonable opportunity for review and comment, drafts of any proposed material communication to the FTC, the DOJ, or any other Governmental Authority under any Antitrust Law relating to the Notification Filings or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) not participate in any material meeting or discussion with the FTC, the DOJ, or any other Governmental Authority under any Antitrust Law relating to the Notification Filings or the transactions contemplated hereby unless the party has notified the other parties in advance and, unless prohibited by the FTC, DOJ, or other Governmental Authority, permitted the other parties to attend and participate therein; provided that, if required by Law or reasonable confidentiality considerations, a party may redact portions of documents or limit disclosure to the other parties’ outside counsel. The Purchaser shall pay in their entirety all administrative filing fees for the Notification Filings. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the parties hereto shall pay any and all fees (other than administrative filing fees for the Notification Filings), expenses and costs of its counsel, accountants, other experts and any other expenses incurred by such party incident to the preparation of and filings under the HSR Act, compliance with any requests for additional information or documentary material and any investigation or other inquiry concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any response to Governmental Authorities relating thereto. Any such payments by Blocker LLC, Splitter LP, the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be deemed Selling Expenses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers and Company may, as they deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to Purchaser under this Section 6.11 as “Outside Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by outside counsel to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the recipient or any of its Affiliates unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials or its legal counsel.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Article VII and any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Article VII shall control.

7.1 Preparation of Tax Returns; Control of Audits; Tax Refunds.

7.1.1 The Sellers’ Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared for filing by the Company Group all Tax Returns for any Group Company for all Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Periods”) that are due after the Closing Date and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Tax Returns are filed no later than one (1) year following the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Company’s past practices, except to the extent required by applicable Law. Such Tax Returns (including any related work papers or other information reasonably requested by the Purchaser) shall be provided to the Purchaser for its review not later than forty-five (45) days before the due date for filing such Tax Returns (including extensions). If the Purchaser does not provide the Sellers’ Representative with a written description of the items in the Tax Returns or the tax statement that the Purchaser intends to dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days following the delivery to the Purchaser of such documents, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to such documents in the form provided, and the Purchaser shall thereafter cause all such Tax Returns to be timely filed by the applicable Group Company. The Purchaser shall not make any changes to such Tax Returns without the prior written approval of the Sellers’ Representative which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Sellers for any Damages they may suffer or incur for the Purchaser’s failure to timely file such Tax Returns or obtain the approval of the Sellers’ Representative as required in this Section 7.1.1. The Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser agree to timely consult with each other and to negotiate in good faith any timely-raised issue arising as a result of the review of such Tax Returns or the tax statement to permit the filing of such Tax Returns as promptly as possible, which good faith negotiations shall include each side exchanging in writing their positions concerning the matter(s) in dispute and a meeting telephonically or in person to discuss their respective positions. In the event the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute within ten (10) days following the delivery of written notice by the Purchaser of such dispute, the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser shall jointly request the Accounting Referee to resolve any issue in dispute at least five (5) days before the due date of such Tax Return, in order that such Tax Return may be timely filed. The Accounting Referee shall make a determination with respect to any disputed issue within five (5) days before the due date (including extensions) for the filing of the Tax Return in question, and the Purchaser shall cause the applicable Group Company to file such Tax Return on the due date (including extensions) therefor in a manner consistent with the determination of the Accounting Referee. The determination of the Accounting Referee shall be binding on the Parties; provided, however, that any such determination shall be limited to the resolution of issues in dispute. The fees and disbursements of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by the Party (i.e., the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, that assigned amounts to items in dispute that were,

on a net basis, furthest in amount from the amount finally determined by the Accounting Referee, or equally, in the event the Parties’ assigned amounts were, on a net basis, both no more than 10% from the amount finally determined by the Accounting Referee). The Sellers, by and through the Sellers’ Representative, will timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) or reimburse the Company or the Purchaser as applicable for all Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities (as such term is defined herein) shown as due and owing on all such Tax Returns, other than to the extent that an accrual with respect to such Tax is included as a liability and taken into account for purposes of calculating Indebtedness or Closing Working Capital. Except as expressly contemplated in this Article VII, under no circumstances shall the Purchaser or any Group Company amend any Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Periods without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

7.1.2 In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, or payroll of the Company or the Blocker LLC for the portion of any taxable period beginning prior to the Closing Date shall be determined based on a closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company or the Blocker LLC holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Company or the Blocker LLC for a Straddle Period that relates to the portion of any taxable period beginning prior to the Closing Date determined based on actual results of operations prior to the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, all Tax Returns for the Blocker LLC, Splitter LP, the Company and its Subsidiaries for the Straddle Periods. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Company and the Blocker LLC’s respective past practices, except to the extent required by applicable Law. Such Tax Returns (including any related work papers or other information reasonably requested by the Sellers’ Representative) shall be provided to the Sellers’ Representative for such person’s review not later than forty-five (45) Business Days before the due date for filing such Tax Returns (including extensions). If the Sellers’ Representative does not provide the Purchaser with a written description of the items in the Tax Returns or the tax statement that the Sellers’ Representative intends to dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days following the delivery to the Sellers’ Representative of such documents, the Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to such documents in the form provided, and the Purchaser shall thereafter cause such Tax Returns to be timely filed by the applicable Group Company in the form provided to the Sellers’ Representative. The Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative agree to timely consult with each other and to negotiate in good faith any timely-raised issue arising as a result of the review of such Tax Returns or the tax statement to permit the filing of such Tax Returns as promptly as possible, which good faith negotiations shall include each side exchanging in writing their positions concerning the matter or matters in dispute and a meeting (whether in person or telephone) to discuss their respective positions. In the event the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute within ten (10) Business Days following the delivery of written notice by the Sellers’ Representative of such dispute, the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall jointly request the Accounting Referee to resolve any issue in dispute at least ten (10) Business Days before the due date of such Tax Return, in order that such Tax Return may be timely filed. The Accounting Referee shall make a determination with respect to any disputed issue within five (5) Business Days before the due date for the filing of the Tax Return in question, and the Purchaser shall cause the applicable Group Company to file such Tax Return on the due date (including extensions) for the filing of the Tax Return with content consistent with the determination of the Accounting Referee. The determination of the Accounting Referee shall be binding on the Parties; provided, however, that any such determination shall be limited to the resolution of issues in dispute. The fees and disbursements of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by the Party (i.e., the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand), that assigned amounts to items in dispute that were, on a net basis, furthest in amount from the amount finally determined by the Accounting Referee, or equally, in the event the Parties’ assigned amounts were, on a net basis, equally far, from or both within 10% of the amount finally determined by the Accounting Referee). In addition to the Straddle Period Tax Returns prepared by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.1.2, the Purchaser shall also submit to the Sellers’ Representative, together with Straddle Period

Tax Returns, a proposed allocation of the Taxes with respect to any such Straddle Period for which the Sellers are responsible pursuant to Section 7.4.3 hereof (“Sellers’ Straddle Period Allocation”), and the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in this Section 7.1.2 shall also apply with respect to such proposed Sellers’ Straddle Period Allocation. The Sellers, severally, shall pay to the Purchaser on or before the date which is three (3) Business Days before the due date of each applicable Tax Return (after giving effect to any valid extensions) the amount of the Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities for which the Sellers are responsible, as determined under this Section 7.1, other than to the extent that an accrual with respect to such Tax is included as a liability and taken into account for purposes of calculating Indebtedness or Closing Working Capital. Post-Closing, the Purchaser, either through itself or through the Company Group, will be solely responsible for any and all Taxes of, or payable by, any Group Company that do not constitute Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities, including without limitation, in the case of Taxes with respect to a Straddle Period, all Taxes which are allocable, pursuant to Section 7.1.2, to the portion of such taxable year or period commencing after the Closing Date.

7.1.3 The Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall cooperate fully in connection with the filing of the Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 7.1 and, subject in all respects to the provisions of Section 7.2, in connection with any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to the Taxes of any Group Company. Such cooperation shall include reasonably furnishing or making available during normal business hours each Party’s personnel; executing reasonably necessary powers of attorney; and retaining for any statutory period of limitations for the audit of any Tax Period by the relevant tax authority and (upon a Party’s request) providing records and information that are reasonably relevant to the preparation of any such Tax Return or to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding. The Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall (a) retain or cause to be retained all books and records that are in their possession with respect to Tax matters pertinent to any Group Company relating to any Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Purchaser or the Sellers’ Representative, any extension thereof) for any audit or for any civil or criminal claim that could be brought with respect to the applicable taxable periods, and abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority, and (b) give the other Parties reasonable written notice before transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, the Purchaser or the Sellers’ Representative, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records.

7.1.4 The Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall, upon request, use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce, or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed on any Group Company (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

7.1.5 To the extent that, subsequent to the date hereof, any Group Company receives (a) any Tax refund attributable to the period of time prior to the Closing, or the Purchaser receives any such Tax refund attributable to the operations of any Group Company prior to the Closing, or (b) any credits against Taxes in lieu of refunds described in clause (a), such Tax refund or credits shall be the property of the Sellers, other than to the extent set forth in the following sentence, and the Purchaser shall remit, and shall cause the Company Group, to remit such Tax refund(s) or credits to the Sellers’ Representative for the benefit of the Sellers, within three (3) Business Days after the receipt by the Group Company of such Tax refunds or utilization of such Tax credits. The foregoing shall not apply with respect to any Tax refund that is reflected as an asset of the applicable Group Company that is taken into account for purposes of calculating Indebtedness or Closing Working Capital. The Sellers’ Representative shall have the authority, subject the consent of Purchaser not to be unreasonably withheld, to prepare any claim for refund or amended Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods of any Group Company and the Purchaser shall (and shall cause the Company Group to) execute and timely file all such claim or Tax Return.

7.1.6 The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any and all Transaction Tax Deductions and any other Tax benefits in any way arising out of or related to the payment of the Selling Expenses, the Closing Indebtedness, any options or restricted stock awards of the Company on or prior to the Closing Date and any employee bonuses paid in connection with the transactions contemplated herein shall be for the sole benefit of the Sellers and shall be allocated to the applicable Pre-Closing Tax Period ending at 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date or the applicable portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date; provided such amounts are either accrued as Current Liabilities, paid as Closing Payments, or paid by Sellers without reimbursement from a Group Company. The parties hereby agree to (i) prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with such allocation and (ii) the Sellers’ entitlement to the benefit of any and all such Transaction Tax Deductions and other Tax benefits through the end of the applicable Pre-Closing Tax Period.

7.1.7 Without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (to be given or withheld in such person’s sole and absolute discretion), unless required by Law or pursuant to administrative action by a taxing authority, none of the Purchaser, or any Group Company shall (i) file, refile, or amend any Tax Return relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) make or change any election with respect to, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period of any Group Company, (iii) agree to waive or extend the statute of limitations relating to any Taxes of any Group Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) file Tax Returns for any Group Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period in a jurisdiction where the Group Company has not historically filed Tax Returns, (iv) initiate discussions or examinations with taxing authorities regarding Taxes of any Group Company with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (v) make any voluntary disclosures with respect to Taxes of any Group Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (vi) enter into any closing agreement or settle any Tax claim or assessment relating to any Group Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (vii) surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes of any Group Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or (viii) otherwise take any action with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period that could result in the Sellers (or their direct or indirect owners) being liable for any amounts, including under this Agreement or to any taxing authority.

7.12 Tax Claims.

In the event a claim is made or a deficiency alleged following the Closing relating to any Group Company by the IRS or any other taxing authority, which, if successful, would result in a loss or liability in respect of which indemnity may be properly sought against the Sponsor or Sellers, severally, pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, an “Indemnity Tax Matter”), then the following shall apply:

7.2.1 After any Group Company receives actual notice of a claim or alleged deficiency, the Purchaser shall, or the Purchaser shall cause the Company to, promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) notify the Sellers’ Representative in writing of such claim or alleged deficiency.

7.2.2 The Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to represent the interests of the applicable Group Company before the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to any Indemnity Tax Matter and shall have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Indemnity Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, filing or amending Tax Returns, and contesting, defending against, and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, any such Indemnity Tax Matter. The Purchaser shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in the defense of such Indemnity Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at the Purchaser’s own expense, separate from counsel employed by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers, and the Sellers’ Representative shall keep the Purchaser informed with respect to the commencement, status, and nature of any such Indemnity Tax Matter and will, in good faith, allow the Purchaser to consult with the Sellers’ Representative regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such action.
