The Proposed Closing Date Statement of Net Working Capital, the Proposed Cash and Cash Equivalents, the Proposed Closing Funded Indebtedness, the Proposed Seller Expenses, the Proposed Closing Liabilities and the Proposed Purchase Price Calculation shall collectively be referred to herein from time to time as the “Proposed Closing Date Calculations.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if Purchaser fails to timely deliver any of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, then the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price shall represent the Final Statement of Purchase Price and shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

Section 2.3.3.2 Upon the delivery of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations to Seller, Purchaser shall provide reasonable access to Seller, Seller’s accountants, and Seller’s advisors during normal business hours to the Company’s accounting personnel, including the chief financial officer, the Company’s and/or Purchaser’s accountants (subject to customary access and indemnification letters), and the books and records of the Company solely as the foregoing relates to the preparation of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations for the sole purpose of completing the Final Statement of Purchase Price. Purchaser agrees that following the Closing Date and prior to the completion of the Final Statement of Purchase Price, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, preserve and not alter or destroy any of the books and records of the Company on which the calculation of the Purchase Price or any component thereof are to be based.

Section 2.3.3.3 If Seller does not give written notice of dispute (a “Purchase Price Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser within forty-five (45) days of receiving the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, Seller and Purchaser agree that (A) the Proposed Closing Date Statement of Net Working Capital shall be deemed to set forth the Net Working Capital, (B) the Proposed Cash and Cash Equivalents shall be deemed to set forth the Cash and Cash Equivalents, (C) the Proposed Closing Date Funded Indebtedness shall be deemed to set forth the Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, (D) the Proposed Seller Expenses shall be deemed to set forth the Seller Expenses, (E) the Proposed Closing Liabilities shall be deemed to set forth the Closing Liabilities and (F) the Proposed Purchase Price Calculation shall be deemed to set forth the Purchase Price; provided that, in the event Purchaser and the Company do not provide any papers or documents reasonably requested by Seller within five (5) days of request therefor (or such shorter period as may remain in such forty-five (45) day period), such forty-five (45) day period shall be extended by one day for each additional day required for Purchaser and the Company to fully respond to such request. If Seller gives a Purchase Price Dispute Notice to Purchaser within such forty-five (45)-day period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any extended period pursuant to the preceding sentence), Purchaser and Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute during the forty-five (45)-day period (the “Discussions Period”) commencing on the date Purchaser receives the Purchase Price Dispute Notice from Seller. During the Discussions Period, each of Purchaser and Seller and their respective accountants shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to the working papers of the other prepared in connection with the Proposed Closing Date Calculations or the Purchase Price Dispute Notice, as the case may be, its accountants (subject to customary access and indemnification letters), if any, and to the books and records of the Company solely as the foregoing relates to the Proposed Closing Date Calculations or the Purchase Price Dispute Notice. If Seller and Purchaser do not obtain a final resolution within the Discussion Period, then the items remaining in dispute (as set forth by Seller in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice or by Purchaser in the Proposed Closing Date Calculations) may be submitted thereafter by Seller or Purchaser to Ernst & Young LLP or another nationally-recognized, independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser (the “Accounting Firm”). The terms of appointment and engagement of the Accounting Firm shall be as agreed upon between Seller and Purchaser, and any associated fees and expenses shall initially be borne fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser; provided, that such fees shall ultimately be allocated in accordance with Section 2.3.3.4. Seller and Purchaser will use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a determination of the applicable dispute within forty-five (45) days after referral of the matter to the Accounting Firm, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. In making its determination regarding such applicable dispute, the Accounting Firm shall select, with respect to each item in dispute, an amount between or equal to Purchaser’s position as set forth in the Proposed Closing Date Calculations or Seller’s position as set forth in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice. In connection with the resolution of any dispute, the Accounting Firm shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to all documents, records, work papers, facilities and personnel necessary to make its determination. Each party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material such party deems relevant to the determination and shall have a continuing opportunity to discuss the matter and its position with the Accounting Firm, but no such presentation of materials or communication shall be on an ex parte basis and each party shall be afforded access to copies of all materials presented by each other party. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller, Purchaser and the other parties hereto and, subject to Section 8.5, Section 8.6 and Section 8.14, each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to enforce such determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. The Accounting Firm’s function shall be to act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and to review only those items which are in dispute, and such review shall be limited to whether the disputed items (as set forth by Seller in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice or by Purchaser in the Proposed Closing Date Calculations), including the related calculations thereto, were prepared in accordance with this Agreement. The “Final Statement of Purchase Price” shall mean the Proposed Purchase Price Calculations together with any revisions thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3.3.3.

Section 2.3.3.4 In the event Seller and Purchaser submit any disputes to the Accounting Firm for resolution as provided in Section 2.3.3.3, Purchaser shall pay a portion of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm equal to 100% multiplied by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the disputed items that are resolved in favor of Seller (that being the difference between the Accounting Firm’s determination and the Seller's position set forth in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice), and (y) the denominator of which is the total disputed items (that being the sum total by which Purchaser's disputed items as set forth in the Proposed Closing Date Calculations and Seller’s position set forth in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice differ from the determination of the Accounting Firm), and Seller will be responsible for and shall pay the remainder of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm from the Adjustment Escrow Funds (and Seller and Purchaser shall instruct the Escrow Agent accordingly). For example, should the amount of the disputed items total $1,000 and the Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of Seller's position, 60% of the Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses would be borne by Purchaser and 40% of the Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses would be borne by Seller.

Section 2.3.4 Adjustment to Estimated Purchase Price.

Section 2.3.4.1 If the Actual Adjustment is a positive amount, subject to payment of any Additional Section 116 Escrow Amount in accordance with the Section 116 Escrow Agreement, Purchaser will pay to Seller such positive amount by wire transfer or delivery of immediately available funds, in each case, within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3.3.

Section 2.3.4.2 If the Actual Adjustment is a negative amount, Purchaser and Seller will instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to Purchaser such amount from the Adjustment Escrow Funds by wire transfer or delivery of immediately available funds, in each case, within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3.3.

Section 2.3.4.3 Within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3, Purchaser and Seller shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver any Adjustment Escrow Funds not distributed to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.3.4.2 to Seller.

Section 2.3.4.4 For the avoidance of doubt, recovery from the Adjustment Escrow Account shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Purchaser and its Affiliates for any negative Actual Adjustment under Section 2.3.4.2 and Seller shall not have any liability or obligation under this Section 2.3 for any portion of the Actual Adjustment in excess of the amount of the then-remaining Adjustment Escrow Funds.

Section 2.4 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Covington & Burling LLP, The New York Times Building, 620 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10018, at 10:00 A.M.

Section 2.5.3 Contemporaneously with the signing of this Agreement, the parties are entering into the Section 116 Escrow Agreement pursuant to which the Escrow Agent will hold and disburse the Section 116 Escrow Amount.

Section 2.5.4 Purchaser, the Company and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate with Seller in obtaining the Section 116 Certificate and none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall take any action which would interfere with, or cause a delay in, Seller obtaining the Section 116 Certificate or the release of the Section 116 Escrow Amount. If the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates unreasonably takes or omits to take any action which causes a delay in receipt of the Section 116 Certificate or causes the Section 116 Escrow Amount to fail to be released when and as required pursuant to the Section 116 Escrow Agreement, then (a) any such amount which is not released shall accrue interest for the period commencing on the date such amount would have otherwise been released and ending on the date when such amount is released, at a rate per annum equal to 5% plus the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in New York, New York as its Prime Lending Rate on the date on which such amount’s release becomes past due and Purchaser shall pay such interest to Seller (or its designees) and (b) Purchaser shall pay all of the Sellers and their respective Affiliates’ reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable any penalties, fines and interest payable to the CRA, any amounts due to the Escrow Agent and attorney’s fees) in connection with all measures to collect such amount and interest. It is understood and agreed that none of the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any right to, or interest in, the Section 116 Escrow Amount and none of them shall have any right to receive any amounts from the Section 116 Escrow Account, including as an offset to other Claims that the Purchaser or its Affiliates may have against Seller or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the immediately foregoing clause, Seller and Purchaser agree and acknowledge that an amount remitted to the Receiver General of Canada pursuant to Section 5(a), (b), (d) or (e) of the Section 116 Escrow Agreement shall be remitted on behalf of Seller in respect of Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to subsection 116(5) of the Tax Act.

Section 6.5.1 No press release or public announcement related to this Agreement, the documents, certificates and instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, shall be issued or made by any party hereto (nor will any party permit any of its advisors or Affiliates to do any thereof) without the prior written approval of Seller and Purchaser; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to press releases or public announcements (a) which, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, are required by applicable law or self-regulatory organization such as a stock exchange, in which case Seller and Purchaser shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such press release, announcement or communication prior to its issuance, distribution or publication, (b) disclosure which is necessary in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement, the documents, certificates and instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (c) customary disclosures by any party hereto or any Affiliate thereof which is a private equity or other investment fund to its investors or potential investors who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser and Parent, as the case may be, shall be permitted to issue a press release and make related disclosures in filings by Parent with the United States Securities Exchange Commission announcing the transactions contemplated by the Documents; provided that, prior to such disclosure, Purchaser or Parent, as the case may be, shall provide Seller with a copy of, and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on, such disclosure and after such announcement Seller and its Affiliates shall be permitted to make public announcements which are consistent with, and contain no information in addition to, such prior disclosures; provided that, prior to such disclosure, Seller shall provide Parent with a copy of, and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on, such disclosure.

Section 6.5.2 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each of the Sponsors and their respective Affiliates (except for the Company) and representatives may provide general information about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Company (including its and their performance and improvements) in connection with each Sponsor or its respective Affiliates’ fund raising, marketing, informational or reporting activities. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event will Purchaser or, after the Closing, the Company or its Affiliates have any right to use either Sponsor’s or its respective Affiliates’ names or marks, or any abbreviation, variation or derivative thereof, in any press release, public announcement or other public document or communication without the express written consent of such Sponsor or its respective Affiliates, as applicable. Following the Closing, each Sponsor and its respective Affiliates may use and reference the name of the Company and the associated marks and logos for the purpose of describing the current and historical relationship of the Company with such Sponsor and its respective Affiliates (including on their respective web sites). Each Sponsor is express third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.5.2.

Section 6.5.3 For the avoidance of doubt, disclosures resulting from the parties’ efforts to obtain any consent, waiver, approval and/or early termination under any applicable Governmental Authority and to make any related filing shall be deemed to not violate this Agreement.

Section 6.6 Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Governing Documents of the Company shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to the limitation or elimination of liability and indemnification than are set forth in the Governing Documents of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who at or prior to the Closing were directors, officers, agents or employees of the Company or who were otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Governing Documents of the Company. Seller has caused the Company to purchase and maintain in effect a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance tail policy (the “Tail Policy”) to be effective for six (6) years from the Closing Date with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date (including transactions contemplated by this Agreement). The provisions of this Section 6.6 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.6, and each such Person’s heirs, legatees, representatives, successors and assigns, it being expressly agreed that such Persons shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.6 and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification that any such Person may have by contact or otherwise. This Section 6.6 shall survive the consummation of the Closing and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Purchaser and the Company.

Section 6.7 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Purchaser; provided that any Taxes incurred in connection with the transfer of the Shares shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser.

Section 6.8 Tax Matters.

Section 6.8.1 Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) with respect to any Straddle Period will be allocated to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date using the following conventions: (A) in the case of income Taxes (however denominated), sales and use Taxes, withholding Taxes and value added Taxes, the amount of Taxes allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be the amount of Taxes payable for such portion of the period determined utilizing the “closing of books” methodology; and (B) in the case of all other Taxes, the amount of Taxes allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall equal to the amount of Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

Section 6.8.2 Seller shall be entitled to receive (as additional Purchase Price) an amount equal to any Tax refunds, including interest paid by an applicable Tax authority therewith, that are received by the Company during the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date, in respect of Taxes paid by the Company with respect to any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, or the portion ending on the Closing Date of any period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”). Purchaser shall forward to or reimburse Seller for any such amounts within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 6.8.3 Unless otherwise required by law, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall file, amend, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election of the Company with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including a Code Section 338 election with respect to the sale) without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 6.8.4 Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate fully, and after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Company to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and any audit or other Tax Contest. Such cooperation shall include access to, the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Contest, and the making available of employees on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

Section 6.8.5 Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy for claims for indemnification in respect of Taxes will be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VII.

Section 6.9 Seller Release.

Effective as of the Closing, Seller knowingly and voluntarily releases and forever discharges the Company from any and all claims, controversies, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, damages, claims for costs and attorneys’ fees, or liabilities, in law and in equity and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed against the Company that Seller may have, relating to its ownership of the Shares; provided, however, that no release is given hereunder in respect of any obligations required to be performed by the Company under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 6.10 Use of Name.

As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date (and in any event within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date), Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cease to make any use of the name “Wellspring” and the service marks, trademarks, trade names, identifying symbols, logos, emblems, signs or insignia related thereto or containing or comprising of the foregoing, including any name or mark confusingly similar thereto (the “Company Marks”). Immediately after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cease to hold itself out as having any affiliation with the Company or any of its Affiliates. In furtherance thereof, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than the expiration of the relevant period provided above for transitional use of the Company Marks, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, remove, strike over or otherwise obliterate all Company Marks from any websites, social media pages, vehicles, storage tanks, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, computer software and other property and materials of Seller or its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.10 shall affect the rights of the Sponsors pursuant to Section 6.5.2.

Article VII—SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Seller, the Company and Purchaser contained in this Agreement (whether or not contained in Article III, Article IV or Article V) shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, other than in the case of fraud on the part of the party making such representation or warranty (in such case, surviving in accordance with the applicable statute of limitations). All covenants set forth herein shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms.

Section 7.2 General Indemnification.

Section 7.2.1 If, after the Closing Date, Purchaser and/or its officers, directors, employees, partners, managers, Affiliates (which, upon and after the Closing, shall include the Company) and/or agents (each a “Purchaser Indemnitee” and together the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) suffer, without any duplication, any Losses as a result of, in connection with, or arising out of (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller or the Company contained in Article III or Article IV, (b) any failure by Seller to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by Seller after the Closing, (c) any claim pursuant to Section 6.6 which directly results from breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company contained in Article III, or (d) any claim made prior to the 12-month anniversary of the Closing with respect to the matters described on Schedule 7.2.1(d), then, subject to the other provisions of this Article VII, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser Indemnitees against such Losses.

Section 7.2.2 If, after the Closing Date, Seller and its officers, directors, employees, partners, managers, Affiliates and/or agents (each a “Seller Indemnitee” and together the “Seller Indemnitees”) suffer, without duplication, any Losses as a result of, in connection with, or arising out of (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in Article V, (b) any failure by Purchaser to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained herein, and (c) any breach by the Company of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by the Company after the Closing, then, subject to the other provisions of this Article VII, Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller Indemnitees against such Losses.

Section 7.2.3 The obligations to reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Section 7.2.1 and pursuant to Section 7.2.2 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby for the period set forth in Section 7.1, except for claims for indemnification pursuant to such clauses asserted in writing prior to the end of such period which claims shall survive until final resolution thereof.

Section 7.2.4 All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article VII shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless otherwise required by a change in law occurring after the date hereof, a closing agreement with an applicable taxing authority or a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 7.3 Third Party Claims.

Section 7.3.1 If a claim, action, suit or other proceeding by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) is made against any Person entitled to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.2 (an “Indemnified Party”), and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity or reimbursement with respect thereto under this Article VII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly provide written notice to the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (such notified party, the “Responsible Party”) of such claims; provided, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Responsible Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall provide in reasonable detail, to the extent known, the basis of such claim (with reference to the specific provision of this Agreement) under which indemnification or reimbursement is sought pursuant to Section 7.2 and enclose true, correct and complete copies of any written document furnished to the Indemnified Party by the Person that instituted the Third Party Claim.

Section 7.3.2 The Responsible Party shall have the right to elect to control the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity or reimbursement may be sought hereunder and shall furnish to the Indemnified Party such records, information and testimony, and shall permit such Indemnified Party the opportunity to attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested by such Indemnified Party in connection therewith.

Section 7.3.2.1 The Responsible Party shall have twenty (20) days the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Responsible Party (it being understood and agreed by Seller that Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP is deemed reasonably acceptable counsel), of the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided, that the Responsible Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party, it being understood and agreed that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party; provided, however, such fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party's counsel shall be borne by the Responsible Party if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between such Indemnified Party and such Responsible Party that would make separate representation advisable.

Section 7.3.2.2 If the Responsible Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity or reimbursement therefor pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.3.2.3 If the Responsible Party elects not to assume the defense thereof, fails to timely and properly notify the Indemnified Party of its election as herein provided, or, at any time after assuming such defense, fails to diligently defend against such Third-Party Claim in good faith, or if such Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled pursuant to this Agreement to have control over the defense of any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnified Party may, at such Responsible Party’s expense, pay, defend, settle, or compromise such asserted claim (but such Responsible Party shall nevertheless be required to pay in accordance with this Agreement any Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with such payment, defense, settlement, or compromise thereof which are indemnifiable in accordance with this Article VII).

Section 7.3.2.4 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Responsible Party shall not be entitled to have sole control over (and if it so desires, the Indemnified Party shall have sole control over) the defense, settlement, adjustment, or compromise of (but such Responsible Party shall nevertheless be required to pay in accordance with this Agreement all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense, settlement, or compromise thereof) (i) any Third-Party Claim that primarily seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (ii) any Third-Party Claim that is reasonably expected to result in damages greater than 120% of the amount of the Indemnity Escrow Funds, (iii) the Third-Party Claim is on behalf of a Material Customer, and (iv) any criminal proceeding, indictment or allegation.

Section 7.3.2.5 No Responsible Party will, without the prior written consent of each such Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to such action), unless such settlement, compromise or consent by its terms obligates such Responsible Party to pay the full amount of the Losses in connection with such Third-Party Claim and includes an unconditional release of all such Indemnified Parties from all liability arising out of such Third Party Claim.

Section 7.4 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations. The rights of Purchaser Indemnitees to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2.1 are subject to the following limitations:

Section 7.4.1 the amount of any and all Losses will be determined net of (i) any amounts recovered by Purchaser Indemnitees under insurance policies or other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Losses, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in collecting such proceeds or payment and increases in premiums attributable to such recovery, and (ii) any Tax benefit actually realized with respect to such Losses within twelve (12) months following the date on which the Claim is made by Purchaser Indemnitee hereunder (it being understood that any such Tax benefit that actually is realized after the payment pursuant to this section (and within the period specified above) shall not be netted from such payment, but shall be paid by the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee within twenty (20) days after such Tax benefit actually is realized) (for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.4 shall in no way be construed to require any Purchaser Indemnitee to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information it deems confidential) to Seller or any other Person);

Section 7.4.2 [Intentionally omitted];

Section 7.4.3 Purchaser Indemnitees will not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 7.2.1(a) until the total amount which Purchaser Indemnitees would recover under Section 7.2.1(a) (as limited by the provisions of Sections 7.4.1), exceeds $110,000 (the “Deductible”) and then only for the excess over the Deductible; provided, however, the Deductible will not apply in the case of fraud on the part of the party making such representation or warranty; provided, further, any amounts recovered by Purchaser Indemnitees under Sections 7.2.1(b), (c), or (d) or in the case of fraud shall count when determining whether the Deductible has been exceeded for purposes of claims under Section 7.2.1(a).

Section 7.4.4 the Indemnity Escrow Funds, at any given time, shall be the sole source of recovery with respect to any Losses that the Purchaser Indemnities are entitled to recover from Seller or any of its Affiliates for Losses pursuant to Sections 7.2.1(a), and (d) (except in the case of fraud on the part of Seller or the Company) and in no event shall the Purchaser Indemnitees be entitled to recover from Seller or any of its Affiliates more than the amount of the Indemnity Escrow Funds in respect of Losses pursuant to Sections 7.2.1(a), and (d) (except in the case of fraud on the part of the party making such representation or warranty) (for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary after the Closing, on the date that the amount of cash in the Indemnity Escrow Account is reduced to zero, Purchaser Indemnitees shall have no further rights to indemnification from Seller under Sections 7.2.1(a), and (d) (except in the case of fraud on the part of the party making such representation or warranty));

Section 7.4.5 In no event shall Seller or any of its Affiliates have any liability pursuant to this Agreement, the Documents or any other certificate or instrument delivered pursuant hereto, or the transactions related hereto or thereto in the aggregate in excess of the proceeds received by such Person directly or indirectly as a result of the payment of proceeds to Seller pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, as adjusted.

Section 7.4.6 Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover Losses to the extent such Losses were included in any item taken into account in the determination of Purchase Price (for which the sole remedy shall be pursuant to Section 2.3);

Section 7.4.7 Purchaser Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any of their respective Losses; provided that the costs of any such commercially reasonable mitigation efforts, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, shall constitute indemnifiable Losses hereunder;

Section 7.4.8 in any case where a Purchaser Indemnitee recovers under insurance policies or from other collateral sources any amount in respect of a matter for which such Purchaser Indemnitee was indemnified pursuant to Section 7.2.1 of this Agreement, such Purchaser Indemnitee shall promptly pay over to Seller the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom all reasonable and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid by or on behalf of Seller in respect of such matter (taking into account any reduction pursuant to Section 7.4.1), and (ii) any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter; and

Section 7.4.9 notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of a representation or warranty or covenant and for calculating the amount of any Losses related thereto, the representations and warranties and covenants shall be read without regard to any Material Adverse Effect or other materiality qualifiers contained therein; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.6.2.

Section 7.5 Release of Indemnity Escrow Funds. Any funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account, less the amount claimed pursuant to Section 7.2.1 in respect of matters which have not been resolved prior to the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date shall be released to Seller on such date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, provided that Purchaser and Seller shall promptly provide written instruction to the Escrow Agent to make such release. At any time after the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, if a claim for which funds had been retained in the Indemnity Escrow Account is resolved, Purchaser and Seller shall, within three (3) Business Days following resolution thereof, provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the funds associated therewith to the Party associated with such resolution.

Section 7.6 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except as provided in Section 2.3, Section 2.5, Section 8.13 and in the case of fraud, after the Closing, indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII and of the R&W Insurance Policy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser for any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant or other provision contained in this Agreement, the Documents or in any other certificate or instrument delivered pursuant hereto or otherwise in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby (including with respect to any environmental, health or safety matters, including those arising under CERCLA or any other Environmental Laws (“Environmental Matters”) or Tax matters). Except as provided in Section 8.13 and except for Seller’s obligation (if any) under Section 2.3.4.2 with respect to the Actual Adjustment and in the case of fraud on the part of Seller or the Company, the sole and exclusive remedy available to Purchaser Indemnitees from Seller and its Affiliates for any Loss, Losses or other amounts (including any relating to Environmental Matters or Tax matters) arising under the indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement, or otherwise in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby (including with respect to any Environmental Matters), shall be the provisions of this Article VII. Purchaser acknowledges that in no event shall any of Seller’s current, former and future equityholders, controlling Persons, directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, or assignees (or any former, current or future equityholder, controlling Person, director, officer, employee, agent, representative, Affiliate, member, manager, general or limited partner, or assignee of any of the foregoing) (in each case other than the other Seller and the Company as expressly provided herein) have any liability related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein. Any payment made under the R&W Insurance Policy to the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VII shall constitute full satisfaction of any obligation of Seller to make such payment to the Purchaser Indemnitees.

Section 8.2 Exhibits and Schedules. All exhibits and schedules hereto (including the Schedules), or documents expressly referenced in this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. Any matter that is disclosed in a Schedule shall be deemed to have been disclosed for the purposes of each other representation and warranty in this Agreement to which it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that it is applicable, notwithstanding the omission of an appropriate cross reference thereto. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule shall not necessarily mean that such fact or item is material to Seller or the Company and any such disclosure, or any references to dollar amounts, shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgement or representation that such items are material or would cause a Material Adverse Effect, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 8.3 Time of the Essence; Computation of Time. Time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” mean “to but excluding” and the word “through” means “to and including.” Whenever the last day for the exercise of any privilege or the discharge of any duty hereunder shall fall upon a day that is not a Business Day, the party having such privilege or duty may exercise such privilege or discharge such duty on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, regardless of whether the transactions provided for in this Agreement are consummated, except as otherwise provided herein, each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incident to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that all out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred or to be incurred by Seller or the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Seller Expenses) will be paid by or on behalf of the Company in the manner set forth Section 2.2.

Section 8.5 Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the schedules and exhibits hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of New York shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and all schedules and exhibits hereto), even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

Section 8.6 Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in New York, New York (or any applicable court of appeal thereto), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address of the party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 8.1. Nothing in this Section 8.6, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. Each party agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Section 8.7 Assignment; Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, and any attempted assignment shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Closing Purchaser may assign or delegate any or all of its rights and/or obligations in whole or in part under this Agreement to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Purchaser) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of Purchaser, in which case Purchaser shall, upon assumption of its obligations under this Agreement by such purchaser, be released from all of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives. Except as expressly set forth in Section 6.5.2 and Section 6.6, this Agreement shall be for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives and is not intended, nor shall be construed, to give any Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall constitute the parties hereto partners or participants in a joint venture.

Section 8.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts for the convenience of the parties hereto, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, e-mailed PDF or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a mutually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 8.9 Titles and Headings. The titles, captions and table of contents in this Agreement are for reference purposes only, and shall not in any way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Agreement or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 8.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto), the other Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and supersedes all previous written, oral or implied understandings among them with respect to such matters.

Section 8.11 Severability. The invalidity of any portion hereof shall not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining portions hereof. If it is ever held that any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Section 8.12 No Strict Construction. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that this Agreement has been prepared jointly by the parties hereto, and shall not be strictly construed against either party.

Section 8.13 Specific Performance. Each of Seller, the Company and Purchaser acknowledges that the rights of each party set forth in this Agreement are unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties agree that such non-breaching party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or in equity, to enforce its rights and the other party’s obligations not only hereunder but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security).

Section 8.14 Waiver Of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, VERBAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENT OR ACTION OF ANY PARTY HERETO. THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 8.15 Failure or Indulgence not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Section 8.16 Amendments. This Agreement (including the provisions of this Section 8.16) may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Seller and Purchaser.

Section 8.17 Conflicts; Privileges. It is acknowledged by each of the parties hereto that Seller and the Company have retained Covington & Burling LLP (“Covington”) and Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP (together with Covington, the “Legal Counsel”) to act as their counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that the Legal Counsel have not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that no other party to this Agreement has the status of a client of either Legal Counsel for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. Purchaser hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) and Seller or any of Seller’s direct or indirect equityholders (“Seller’s Equityholders”) under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, each Legal Counsel may represent Seller or such Seller’s Equityholder in such dispute. Even though the interests of such Seller’s Equityholder may be directly adverse to Purchaser, the Company or any of its Affiliates, and even though such Legal Counsel may have represented Seller or the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute, Purchaser and the Company hereby waive, on behalf of themselves and each of their Affiliates, any conflict of interest in connection with such representation by such Legal Counsel. Purchaser further agrees that, as to all communications among any Legal Counsel, Seller, the Company and any of Seller’s Equityholders that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence and all other rights to any evidentiary privilege belong to Seller and Seller’s Equityholder and may be controlled by Seller or such Seller’s Equityholder and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or the Company. Purchaser agrees to take, and to cause its Subsidiaries to take, all steps reasonably necessary and within its control to implement the intent of this Section 8.17.

Section 8.18 Parent Guarantee.

Section 8.18.1 Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the due and punctual payment and discharge of each obligation of Purchaser and the full and timely performance by Purchaser of its obligations, in each case, under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Documents to which Purchaser is a party (collectively, the “Obligations”).

Section 8.18.2 This is a guarantee of payment and performance, and Parent acknowledges and agrees that this guarantee is full and unconditional, and no release or extinguishment of Purchaser’s liabilities and obligations (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Documents to which Purchaser is a party, as applicable), whether by decree in any bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, will affect the continuing validity and enforceability of this guarantee. Parent hereby waives, for the benefit of Seller, (i) any right to require Seller, as a condition of payment or performance of Parent, to proceed against Purchaser or pursue any other remedies whatsoever, and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, except to the extent that any such defense is available to Purchaser under this Agreement.

Section 8.18.3 Seller shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations in the event that Purchaser becomes subject to an insolvency event, and the failure of Seller to so file shall not affect Parent’s obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment to Seller in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, Parent shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations as if such payment had not been made. This is an unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collectability.

Section 8.18.4 Parent agrees that its obligations hereunder shall remain absolute and unconditional and shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of Seller to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Purchaser (or any of its permitted assignees) or any other Person; (ii) any change in time, place or manner of payment of any of the Obligations or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment to or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement made in accordance with the terms thereof or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Obligations; (iii) the addition, substitution or release of Purchaser (or any of its permitted assignees) or any other Person; (iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Purchaser (or any of its permitted assignees) or any other Person; (v) any insolvency event or other similar proceeding affecting Purchaser (or any of its successors or permitted assigns) or any other Person; (vi) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which Parent may have at any time against Purchaser or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, whether in connection with the Obligations or otherwise; (vii) the adequacy of any other means Seller may have of obtaining repayment of any of the Obligations; (viii) the value, genuineness, validity, regularity, illegality or enforceability of this Agreement; (ix) any assignment by Purchaser of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and (x) any defenses available to Purchaser (or its permitted assignees), other than defenses available under this Agreement. Parent waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this guarantee and of the Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of the incurrence of any Obligations and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Purchaser or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all suretyship defenses generally. Parent acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 8.18.5 As an inducement to Seller to enter into this Agreement, Parent hereby makes the following representations and warranties, as of the Effective Date, to Seller: Parent is a validly existing corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Parent has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action; this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and the effect of general principles of equity, whether applied by a court of law or equity; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate or conflict with any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party.

Section 8.18.6 This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on Parent and its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Seller and its successors and permitted assigns, until all of the Obligations and all amounts payable under this guarantee have been indefeasibly paid, observed, performed or satisfied in full, except to the extent set forth herein. The obligations of Parent hereunder are independent of the obligations of Purchaser and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Parent whether or not any action is brought against Purchaser and whether or not Purchaser is joined in any such actions.
