(b) Each of the Purchaser and the Companies shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, and to do, or cause to be done, any and all steps necessary, proper, or advisable to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under the HSR Act and any other Competition Laws that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any third Person so as to enable the parties hereto to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the Purchaser be required to sell, divest or dispose of assets, properties or businesses (including assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it under this Agreement) that generated total worldwide revenues in excess of $35,000,000 in calendar year 2013. In addition, until the Outside Date, the Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to defend through any Action on the merits, including through appeal, any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing prior to the Outside Date.

(c) The Purchaser shall not enter into any transaction, or any agreement to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition), that might reasonably be expected to make it materially more difficult, or to materially increase the time required, to (i) obtain the expiration and termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act or other Competition Laws applicable to the Transactions, (ii) avoid the entry of, the commencement of any Action seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other Order that would materially delay or prevent the completion of the Transactions, or (iii) obtain all authorizations, consent orders and approvals of Governmental Authorities necessary for the consummation of the Transactions.

(a) Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.1 (Competition Filings), each of the Purchaser, the Seller and the Companies shall cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to (i) make, as promptly as practicable, all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions and obtain, as promptly as practicable, from any Governmental Authority any authorizations, exemptions, certificates, registrations, clearances, consents, orders, approvals, permits or licenses that are required under any applicable Law to be obtained or made by the Seller, any member of the Group or the Purchaser, as the case may be, in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, and (ii) respond to any requests for information under any applicable Law.

pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) and if requested, accept reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by the other party in connection therewith; provided, however, that any correspondence or communications provided to the other party pursuant to this sentence, may be redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Group, (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (C) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns, in connection with proceedings under or relating to any applicable Law. None of the parties to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting, telephone call or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, Action (including the settlement of any Action) or other inquiry unless it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting, telephone call or discussion.

If either Company or any member of the Group fails to obtain any such consent from a third Person, then the Companies shall (and shall cause the Group members to) use reasonable best efforts to limit the adverse effect upon the Group from the failure to obtain such consent. The Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to assist the Company and the Group in obtaining all such consents and providing such notices, including providing any reasonable information or executing any documents reasonably required in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing but without limiting the parties’ obligations pursuant to Section 7.1 (Competition Filings), none of the Purchaser, the Companies or any other member of the Group shall have any obligation to pay any fee or similar payment to any third Person for the purpose of obtaining such consent or any costs and expenses of any third Person resulting from the process of obtaining any such consent.

Section 7.6 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) For a period of six years following the Closing Date, the Group shall, and if it fails to, the Purchaser shall, indemnify, defend and hold harmless all current and former directors and officers of the Group (each, a “Group Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Group Indemnified Parties”) against any Damages (including any Damages described in clause (ii) of the definition of “Purchaser Group Liabilities”) incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, incurred or suffered by such Group Indemnified Party by reason of: (i) any act or omission or alleged act or omission performed or omitted to be performed on behalf of any member of the Group or otherwise in connection with the business of any member of the Group; or (ii) the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the any member of the Group, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent that such member of the Group, or the Purchaser, as the case may be, would have been permitted, under applicable Law, indemnification agreements existing on the date hereof or the applicable Organizational Documents in effect on the date hereof, to indemnify such Group Indemnified Party (and members of the Group shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnification agreements or the applicable Organizational Documents). For a period of six years following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Group to, ensure that the provisions in the Organizational Documents of each member of the Group allowing for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to the Group Indemnified Parties and the provision of insurance for the Group Indemnified Parties shall not be amended in a manner that would limit the scope of such indemnification and insurance, except as required by applicable Law.

(b) The Companies shall purchase (or shall cause to be purchased) “tail” insurance policies comparable in all material respects to the Group’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Group Indemnified Parties that shall provide such Group Indemnified Parties with coverage for a period of six years from and after the Closing Date, with reputable and financially sound carriers of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous in the aggregate than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Group with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or events that occurred at or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Companies shall not be obligated to expend more than 300% of the annual premium for the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Group in the aggregate to purchase such “tail” insurance. If such insurance coverage can only be obtained at a premium in excess of 300% of such current annual premium, the Companies shall obtain and maintain one or more policies with the greatest coverage available for an aggregate premium equal to 300% of such current annual premium. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser and the Companies shall each be responsible for and shall pay one half of the price for the “tail” insurance policies to be purchased by the Companies under this Section 7.6(b).

(c) The provisions of this Section 7.6 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Group Indemnified Party and each party entitled to insurance coverage under this Section 7.6, respectively, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, which shall be deemed as third party beneficiaries under this Agreement, and shall be in addition to, and shall not impair, any other rights a Group Indemnified Party may have under the applicable Organizational Documents of any member of the Group, under applicable Law or any indemnification agreement. The Purchaser shall ensure that the members of the Group comply with all of their respective obligations under this Section 7.6 and the Purchaser hereby guarantees all such obligations of the Group under this Section 7.6.

(d) If the Purchaser or any member of the Group (or any of their respective successors or assigns) (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other Person and is not the continuing company or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person, the Purchaser shall cause proper provisions to be made such that the successors and assigns of the Purchaser or such member of the Group (as applicable) shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.6.

Section 7.7 Employee Matters.

(a) Following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, for a period of no less than one year following the Closing Date, cause the Group to provide individuals who are employed by any member of the Group immediately prior to the Closing Date and who remain employed by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (the “Employees”) with salaries, wages, bonus, commission and incentive opportunities and employee benefits that are comparable in the aggregate to those provided to the Employees by such member of the Group immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) Following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, honor all Benefit Plans and each written contract between any member of the Group, on the one hand, and any employees, officers, directors or consultants of such member of the Group, on the other hand, in accordance with their respective terms as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.7 of this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit the ability of the Purchaser or any member of the Group to (i) modify, amend or terminate any Benefit Plan or Contract referred to in the preceding sentence in accordance with its terms or obligate any of them to continue any such Benefit Plan or Contract for any time after the Closing Date or (ii) terminate the employment of any Employee at any time after the Closing Date.

(c) The Purchaser or its applicable Affiliates shall cause all of their benefit plans, policies or arrangements under which Employees participate to recognize service with the Group (including predecessors) prior to the Closing Date, for all purposes to the same extent recognized by the Group under a corresponding Benefit Plan prior to the Closing Date, provided that such service recognition shall not be required for purposes of retiree medical programs, for purposes of benefit accrual under defined benefit retirement plans, or where such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits (or where similar credit is not given to other similarly situated employees of Purchaser).

(d) With respect to all welfare benefit plans and other US Group Plans maintained by the Purchaser or its Affiliates for the benefit of the Employees on and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the Group or such plan to, make commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods applicable to the Employees (and their covered dependents), and (ii) in determining any deductible, out-of-pocket limitations, co-payments or similar requirements under healthcare plans, give full credit towards satisfying any applicable deductible or similar requirements for the applicable plan year in which the Closing Date occurs with respect to an amount equal to the excess of the total expenses paid by any Employee during the portion of the applicable plan year prior to the Closing Date pursuant to all Benefit Plans that are healthcare plans.

(e) Purchaser shall have no liability in respect of the Excluded Incentive Arrangements, and the Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates harmless in respect of the Excluded Incentive Arrangements and any liabilities thereunder.

Such list shall be updated by the Companies as of a date as near as practicable to the Closing Date and provided to the Purchaser no later than the Closing Date.

(g) Nothing in this Section 7.7, whether express or implied, shall confer upon any Person (including any current or former director, officer or employee of, or consultant or independent contractor to, the Purchaser, any member of the Group or any of their

respective Affiliates) any third party beneficiary or other rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period or continued participation in any benefit plan, of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 7.7.

Section 7.8 280G Matters. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of the Seller to, (a) solicit, and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, from each “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) a waiver by such individual of any and all payments (or other benefits) contingent on the consummation of the Transactions (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) to the extent necessary so that such payments and benefits would not be “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code, (b) submit to the Shareholders for a vote all such waived payments in a manner such that, if such vote is adopted by such shareholders in a manner that satisfies the shareholder approval requirements under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, no payment received by such “disqualified individual” would be a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b) of the Code (determined without regard to Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code) and (c) deliver to the Purchaser evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser of the results of such vote. Such vote shall establish the “disqualified individual’s” right to receive or retain the payment or other compensation. In addition, the Seller shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of the Seller to, provide adequate disclosure to the Shareholders of all material facts concerning all payments that, but for such vote, could be deemed “parachute payments” to any such “disqualified individual” under Section 280G of the Code in a manner that satisfies Section 280G(b)(5)(B)(ii) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Seller shall provide or cause to be provided to the Purchaser written drafts of the shareholder disclosure statement, waivers, and shareholder approval forms that will be provided to disqualified individuals and shareholders in advance of delivering such documents to the disqualified individuals and shareholders, as applicable, and allow the Purchaser and its Representatives a reasonable opportunity to provide comments on such documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in the Confidentiality Agreement or herein, the Purchaser shall be permitted to provide its Financing Sources on a confidential basis any information provided by the Seller Representatives or the Parent and its Subsidiaries and may make disclosures permitted by Section 6.3(b). Purchaser shall promptly, upon request by the Companies, reimburse the Seller Representative or any of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, the costs of the preparation of any annual or quarterly financial statements) incurred by the Seller Representative or Parent and its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in connection with the Financing, including the cooperation of the Seller Representative or the Parent and its Subsidiaries and Representatives contemplated by this Section 7.9, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Representative and the Parent and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information used in connection therewith, except with respect to (i) any information provided by the Seller Representative or the Parent and its Subsidiaries or (ii) any actual and intentional fraud or intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct by any such persons.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the condition set forth in Section 8.2(d) (Additional Conditions to Obligations of the Purchaser – Covenants and Agreements of the Group), as it applies to the Companies’ and the Seller Representative’s obligations under Section 7.9(a), shall not be deemed unsatisfied due to a breach by the Companies’ or the Seller Representative’s breach(es) of their obligations under Section 7.9(a) unless such breach materially contributed to a failure to obtain Financing.

(c) Subject to Section 7.9(d), the Companies shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver all notices and take other actions required to facilitate the termination of commitments in respect of each of the Senior Credit Agreement and the Mezzanine Credit Agreement and, to the extent requested by the Purchaser, any Indebtedness incurred by any of the Companies pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(x) (Indebtedness) (it being understood that the Seller shall promptly and in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date notify the Purchaser of the amount of any such Indebtedness incurred or to be incurred), repayment in full of all obligations in respect of such Indebtedness and release of any Liens and guarantees in connection therewith on the Closing Date.

guarantees), if any, granted in connection therewith relating to the assets, rights and properties of the Parent and its Subsidiaries securing such Indebtedness and any other obligations secured thereby, shall be, upon the payment of the amount set forth in the applicable payoff letter at or prior to the Closing be released and terminated. The Companies shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver to Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, a detailed written calculation of the amount required to satisfy and discharge in full at Closing (i) the 2018 PIK Notes and (ii) the 2019 PIK Notes, which calculation will include all amounts required to be paid with respect to principal, interest (including accrued and unpaid interest), premium, penalties, fees, expenses and any other amounts required to redeem the 2018 PIK Notes and 2019 PIK Notes, as the case may be (such amount, the “Satisfaction and Discharge Amount”) at the redemption date specified in the applicable redemption notice. At or prior to the Closing (but subject to the Closing occurring), the Seller Representative shall cause the obligors under the PIK Notes to discharge the PIK Notes by paying to the holders of the PIK Notes the applicable Satisfaction and Discharge Amounts. At the Closing, the Seller Representative shall deliver to the Purchaser evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser of the satisfaction and discharge of the PIK Notes at the Closing.

(d) The Seller and the Companies shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the release, discharge, removal and termination of all Liens on the assets of the Group and equity interests in members of the Group arising under the Specified Swaps, without the grant of any Lien over the assets of or equity interests in any members of the Group or the posting of any letter(s) of credit or cash collateral by any member of the Group; provided that the foregoing shall not require the Seller or any of the Companies to pay any amount, continue or grant any guarantee or Lien or post any letter(s) of credit or cash collateral (it being acknowledged and agreed that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any member of the Group may take the actions mutually agreed by the Seller and the Purchaser). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if after complying with their obligations pursuant to this Section 7.9(d), the Seller and the Companies fail to obtain the release, discharge, removal and termination of all liens on the assets of the Group and equity interests in members of the Group arising under the Specified Swaps and Seller notifies the Purchaser in writing of such failure prior to Closing, none of the Seller or any of the Companies shall be liable to any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any breach of any other covenant or agreement or any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement with respect to such liens to the extent resulting from such failure.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any such access rights shall be exercised in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Group or the

Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) the Purchaser may withhold any document (or portions thereof) or information to the extent that (x) it may not be disclosed pursuant to the terms of a non-disclosure agreement with a third party, provided that Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of such restriction or otherwise seek to provide access to such information in a manner that does not violate such restriction, or (y) the disclosure would cause the Purchaser or any member of the Group to waive its attorney-client privilege with respect to such information.

(b) From and after the Closing, each of the Seller and the Seller Representative shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, keep all documents, materials, records and other information that it has or has obtained prior to or after the Closing regarding the Purchaser or any member of the Group (“Confidential Information”) strictly confidential and will not disclose such information without the Purchaser’s prior written consent. “Confidential Information” shall not include information that (i) is or becomes publicly available (other than as a result of a disclosure by Seller, the Seller Representative or the Parent Securityholders or their respective Representatives in violation of this Section 7.10(b)), (ii) is or becomes available to them from a source that, to their knowledge, is not prohibited from disclosing such information to them by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation or (iii) has been independently developed by them (other than by or with respect to any member of the Group) or their respective Representatives without reference to Confidential Information.

(c) Effective as of the Closing, all of the restrictions on and obligations of Purchaser in the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate in their entirety (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such provisions that purport to survive termination of the Confidentiality Agreement).

However, nothing in this Section 7.12 shall prevent or restrict the Seller or any Permitted Transferee from pledging any of the Purchaser Shares to any bona fide third party lender or Transferring Purchaser Shares (a) in connection with a sale of the Purchaser approved by the Board of Directors of the Purchaser (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of shares of capital stock, other business combination transaction, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or otherwise) or a tender offer or exchange offer for all of the outstanding shares of Purchaser Common Stock, (b) to any Affiliate or direct or indirect equityholders of such Permitted Transferee or (c) to any family

member of such Permitted Transferee or trust for estate planning purposes; provided, however, that in each such case, it shall be a condition to the Transfer that (i) the lender or transferee either execute and deliver an Investor Representation Letter and be a Permitted Transferee and (ii) there shall be no further Transfer of such Purchaser Shares except in accordance with the lock-up provisions of this Section 7.12.

(a) Promptly after the receipt by any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX (the “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any Action involving a third party (such Action, a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim with respect thereto is to be made against any party or parties obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Article IX (the “Indemnifying Party”), give such Indemnifying Party written notice of such Third Party Claim in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known to such Indemnified Party (the “Third Party Claim Notice”); provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall prejudice any defense or claim available to the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party may undertake and assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense within 30 days of receiving such Third Party Claim Notice (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) with representatives chosen by it and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party may make such filings, including motions for continuance (and answers if a motion for continuance has not been granted), as may be necessary to preserve the parties’ positions and rights with respect to such Third Party Claim, and shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of a Third Party Claim, then (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel and one appropriate local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction of the Indemnified Party’s choosing and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, which shall be at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense, unless in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party’s counsel, representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests of or defenses available to such parties, in which case the cost and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party advised of the status of the Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall reasonably consider recommendations made by the Indemnified Party with respect thereto. In assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may reserve its rights to claim that indemnification is not required if, for example, new or subsequently developed information demonstrates that the Indemnifying Party is not required to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party, within 30 days after written notice of any such Third Party Claim (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) does not assume control of the defense or thereafter fails or ceases to defend such Third Party Claim, then (i) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim and (ii) the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in connection therewith shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the fees and expenses of more than one counsel and any one appropriate local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for the Indemnified Party with respect to a single Third Party Claim or a series of related Third Party Claims be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.2 to the contrary, (i) the Purchaser shall undertake and assume the defense of any Third Party Claim for which any Purchaser Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(iv) (Specified Swaps) and shall defend such claim in good faith, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which (A) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (B) would impose a judgment that provides for anything other than monetary damages or (C) would impose a judgment of monetary damages in excess of the remaining amount in the Indemnity Escrow Account, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall not,

without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnifying Party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim and (iv) the Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Seller or the Seller Representative, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim for which a Purchaser Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(iv) (Specified Swaps).

(e) The parties hereto shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with any Third Party Claims, and cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice to all information relevant thereto subject to Section 6.3 (Pre-Closing Access and Information; Confidentiality). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the party controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the other party, upon request, copies of all correspondence, pleadings, motions, briefs, appeals or other written statements relating to or submitted in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim, and timely notices of, and the right to participate (as an observer) in any hearing or other court proceeding, meeting or negotiation relating to the Third Party Claim.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes and any Tax Proceedings.

Section 9.3 Procedure for Claims Not Involving Third Parties.

(a) An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article IX that does not involve a Third Party Claim shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Notice”), promptly upon becoming aware of such claim (but in no event more than 30 days after becoming aware of such claim), to the Indemnifying Party, which shall (a) state in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to the Damages, (b) specify the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of this Agreement alleged to have been breached or not performed by the Company (as applicable), (c) specify the estimated amount of the Damages, if known (the “Claim Amount”), and (d) make a request for any payment then believed due. The failure of an Indemnified Party to provide a Claim Notice in accordance with this Section 9.3 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations to provide indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party may, within 45 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Party of a Claim Notice, deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response disputing such claim. If the Indemnifying Party in such written response contests the payment of the Claim Amount, then the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of such dispute within the next 30 days. If a mutually acceptable resolution cannot be reached between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party within such 30-day period, then the parties may thereupon proceed to pursue any and all available remedies at law.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.3 shall not apply with respect to Taxes and any Tax Proceedings.

Section 9.4 Survival; Limitations on Liability.

(a) Survival.

(i) All of the representations and warranties of Seller and the Companies set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing of this Agreement until the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (the “Release Date”), at which time they shall expire, except for (A) the representations of the Companies set forth in Section 4.27 (No Other Representations or Warranties), which shall survive indefinitely and (B) the Seller Fundamental Representations and the Group Fundamental Representations, which shall survive the Closing until thirty (30) days following the end of the Earnout Period, at which time they shall expire. The indemnification obligations set forth in Sections 9.1(a)(iv) (Specified Swaps), 9.1(a)(v) (Specified Taxes) and 9.1(a)(vi) (Disclosed Taxes) shall survive the Closing until thirty (30) days following the end of the Earnout Period, at which time they shall expire.

(ii) None of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser shall survive the Closing, except for (A) the representations of the Purchaser set forth in Section 5.9 (Independent Investigation) and Section 5.12 (No Other Representations or Warranties), which shall survive indefinitely, and (B) the Purchaser Fundamental Representations, which shall survive the Closing of this Agreement until the Release Date, at which time they shall expire.

(iii) All covenants and agreements of the parties hereto set forth in this Agreement to the extent requiring performance prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing until the Release Date, at which time they shall expire. All covenants and other agreements of the parties hereto set forth in this Agreement to the extent requiring performance from and after the Closing shall survive the Closing and shall continue in accordance with their terms, provided that Purchaser’s obligation to indemnify the Seller for any Specified Taxes pursuant to Section 9.1(b) (Purchaser Indemnity) shall survive the Closing until thirty (30) days following the end of the Earnout Period, at which time such obligation shall expire.

(iv) If an indemnification claim is properly asserted in writing pursuant to Section 9.2 (Defense of Third Party Claims) or 9.3 (Procedure for Claims Not Involving Third Parties) prior to the expiration as provided in this Section 9.4(a), of the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that is the basis for such claim, then such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement and the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations with respect thereto shall survive past the date on which they would otherwise expire until, but only for the purpose of, the resolution of such claim. If an indemnification claim in respect of Taxes is asserted in writing prior to the expiration, as provided in this Section 9.4(a), of the representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or indemnification obligation that is the basis for such claim, then such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or indemnification obligation shall survive past the date on which they would otherwise expire until, but only for the purpose of, the resolution of such claim.

(b) Deductible. No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for Damages claimed under Section 9.1(a) (Seller Indemnity) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of such claims, taken together, exceeds Twenty Million United States Dollars ($20,000,000) (the “Deductible”), at which time all Damages incurred in excess of the Deductible shall be indemnifiable claims hereunder (subject to all the other terms and conditions set forth herein); provided, however, that the Deductible shall not apply to (A) claims with respect to the Seller’s or any Company’s actual and intentional fraud with respect to any express provisions in this Agreement, (B) claims pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii) (Covenants and Agreements), Section 9.1(a)(iii) (Conveyance Taxes), Section 9.1(a)(iv) (Specified Swaps), Section 9.1(a)(v) (Specified Taxes) or Section 9.1(a)(vi) (Disclosed Taxes), (C) claims in respect of any breaches of any Seller Fundamental Representation or Group Fundamental Representation and (D) claims in respect of Filing Taxes.

(c) Cap. The maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Damages payable by the Seller under Section 9.1(a)(i) (Representations and Warranties) and Section 9.1(a)(iii) (Conveyance Taxes) in respect of all claims made thereunder shall not exceed (i) Ten Million United States Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Cap”), other than (A) claims with respect to breaches of any Seller Fundamental Representation or Group Fundamental Representation and (B) claims with respect to the Seller’s or any Company’s actual and intentional fraud with respect to any express provisions in this Agreement. The maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Damages payable by the Seller in respect of all claims under Section 9.1(a)(iv) (Specified Swaps)and Section 9.1(a)(vi) (Disclosed Taxes) shall not exceed the aggregate Earnout Amount(s) (if any) payable pursuant to the Earnout Agreement. The maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Damages payable by the Seller in respect of all claims under Section 9.1(a) (Seller Indemnity) shall not exceed the Cap plus the aggregate Earnout Amount(s) (if any) payable pursuant to the Earnout Agreement, other than claims with respect to the Seller’s or any Company’s actual and intentional fraud with respect to any express provisions in this Agreement.

(d) Satisfaction of Seller Indemnity Claims. The Purchaser hereby agrees (on behalf of itself and the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties) that indemnification claims made by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (Seller Indemnity) shall be satisfied exclusively from the Indemnity Escrow Account, other than (i) claims under Section 9.1(a)(i) (Representations and Warranties) with respect to breaches of any Seller Fundamental Representation or Group Fundamental Representation or claims under Sections 9.1(a)(ii) (Covenants and Agreements) or 9.1(a)(vi) (Disclosed Taxes), which shall be satisfied first from the Indemnity Escrow Account, and then, solely to the extent such claims exceed the amount then remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account (if any), may be satisfied by the Purchaser by a withholding from and an offset against any Earnout Amounts that would otherwise be due to the Seller or Seller Representative under the Earnout Agreement, and (ii) claims under Section 9.1(a)(iv) (Specified Swaps) or Section 9.1(a)(v) (Specified Taxes), which shall be satisfied exclusively by a withholding from and an offset against any Earnout Amounts that would otherwise be due to the Seller or Seller Representative under the Earnout Agreement (and which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be satisfied from the Indemnity Escrow Account); provided, that if the amount of a Third Party Claim under Section 9.1(a)(v) (Specified Taxes) is required to be reserved for under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles prior to

the date on which all amounts have been released from the Indemnity Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, then such claim may be satisfied from the Indemnity Escrow Account and/or (without duplication) by a withholding from and an offset against any Earnout Amounts that would otherwise be due to the Seller or Seller Representative under the Earnout Agreement.

(e) Other Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Indemnifying Party have any liability to an Indemnified Party for (i) any liability to the extent such liability is reflected in the Pre-Closing Statement or the Post-Closing Statement and taken into account in calculating the amount of the Consideration or (ii) any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages, except to the extent actually paid to a third party.

(f) Exclusivity of Indemnity. After the Closing, the rights of an Indemnified Party under this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of such Indemnified Party with respect to claims under this Agreement for breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein or any right, claim or action arising from the Transactions, except in the case of actual and intentional fraud with respect to any express provisions in this Agreement and except for any injunctive relief pursuant to Section 12.7 (Specific Performance). Each of the Seller and the Purchaser expressly waives, releases and agrees not to make any claim against the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller and the Seller Representative, on the other hand, except for indemnification claims made pursuant to this Article IX, or for any injunctive relief pursuant to Section 12.7 (Specific Performance), or for claims with respect to the Seller’s or any Company’s actual and intentional fraud with respect to any express provisions in this Agreement.

Section 9.5 Mitigation.

(a) Each Indemnified Party shall use reasonable best efforts to mitigate any Damages after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages that are indemnifiable hereunder; provided, however, that the costs of such mitigation shall be included as Damages. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be (i) calculated on an After-Tax Basis and, without duplication, (ii) reduced by any amounts actually recovered by any Indemnified Party under any (A) indemnification or other recovery under any Contract between an Indemnified Party and any third Person (other than a Governmental Authority) and (B) insurance policies with respect to such indemnification claim (less any increase in insurance premiums arising therefrom or related thereto, costs incurred in obtaining such recovery under such insurance policies and Taxes resulting from any recovery described in clause (A) or (B)) (each source named in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 9.5(a), a “Collateral Source”). An Indemnified Party shall use reasonable best efforts to pursue any claims against all Collateral Sources; provided, that such Indemnified Party shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article IX in respect of such Damages. The existence of a claim by an Indemnified Party for monies from a Collateral Source in respect of any Damages shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by the Indemnifying Party.

(b) If an Indemnified Party has received the payment required under this Article IX from the Indemnifying Party in respect of any Damages and later receives proceeds from insurance or payments from a Collateral Source in respect of the same Damages, then such Indemnified Party shall hold such proceeds or other similar amounts in trust for the benefit of the Indemnifying Party and shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, within 30 days after receipt, an amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount previously received by the Indemnified Party under this Article IX, plus the amount of the insurance payments or other recoveries from such Collateral Source actually received by such Indemnified Party (less any increase in insurance premiums arising therefrom or related thereto and any Taxes resulting from any such payments or other recoveries), over (ii) the amount of Damages with respect to such claim which the Indemnified Party has become entitled to receive under this Article IX. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties hereto that no Collateral Source shall be (A) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (B) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

(c) (i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for the purposes of determining the amount of any Damages for Taxes in respect of which Seller may have an indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 9.1(a), (A) any and all deductions, credits or other net Tax benefits, in each case of any member of the Group, resulting from the Transactions, to the extent relating to expenses that (x) result in a reduction of the Purchase Price, through reflection in Actual Trade Working Capital or otherwise, or (y) are otherwise paid or incurred by the Seller or any member of the Group on or prior to the Closing Date in connection with the Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any repayment of debt in connection with the Closing and any unamortized debt costs, any Acquisition Expenses and any compensatory payments in connection with the Transactions and not included in Acquisition Expenses) (the “Seller Tax Deductions”) shall be taken into account for purposes of determining any such indemnifiable Damages for Taxes, and shall, as necessary, be deemed to have arisen in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and (B) any and all relief, loss, allowance, exemption, set-off, deduction or credit in respect of any Taxes of the UK Company (or any of its Subsidiaries that is UK tax resident) or relevant to the computation of any income, profits or gains for the purposes of any Taxes of the UK Company (or any of its Subsidiaries that is UK tax resident), and any right to repayment of Taxes of the UK Company (or any of its Subsidiaries that is UK tax resident), that could have been applied in a Pre-Closing Tax Period but was not so applied and is still allowable shall be deemed to have been applied to the extent allowable for the purposes of computing any such indemnifiable Damages for Taxes of the UK Company (or any of its Subsidiaries that is UK tax resident).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in determining the amount of any indemnification obligation under Section 9.1(a)(i) (Representations and Warranties) in respect of a Post-Closing Tax Period, any net operating loss, credit or other similar item (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Section 163(j) carryforward) that actually reduces Taxes paid by any member of the Group in a Post-Closing Tax Period (determined on a with and without basis) and that arose or is otherwise attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the Seller Tax Deductions to the extent not taken into account in computing and offsetting any indemnified Damages for Taxes pursuant to Section 9.5(a)(i) (Mitigation)) shall be applied first to reduce the amount of any Taxes that may be indemnifiable under Section 9.1(a)(i) (Representations and Warranties).

Section 9.6 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Provisions. The parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the purchase price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law or a good faith resolution of a Tax Contest constituting a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or a similar provision of foreign, state or local Tax law).

ARTICLE X

PROCEDURES RELATING TO TAXES

Section 10.1 Tax Returns.

(a) The Purchaser shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, when due (taking into account any applicable extensions) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to any member of the Group after the Closing Date (including any such Tax Return that is a Pre-Closing Taxable Period Return) or any Straddle Period Return. All reasonable out-of-pocket third-party costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of any Pre-Closing Taxable Period Return shall be borne and paid by the Seller and the Parent Securityholders. All reasonable out-of-pocket third-party costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of any Straddle Period Return shall be equitably allocated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller and the Parent Securityholders, on the other hand. The Purchaser shall pay, or cause the Group to pay, all Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns to the applicable Governmental Authority.

(b) All Pre-Closing Taxable Period Returns and all Straddle Period Returns prepared and filed pursuant to Section 10.1(a) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Purchaser shall deliver any such Tax Return to the Seller Representative for its review at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is required to be filed with the relevant tax authority (taking into account any applicable extensions); provided, that in the case of any such Tax Return that is required to be filed within four (4) months following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver such Tax Return as soon as reasonably practicable. If the Seller Representative disputes any item on such Tax Return, then it shall notify the Purchaser of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection no later than fifteen (15) days following delivery of such Tax Return by the Purchaser. The Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which the relevant Tax Return is required to be filed. If the Purchaser and the Seller Representative cannot resolve any disputed item, then the item in question shall be resolved by the Independent Auditor. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Auditor shall be borne equally by the Seller and the Parent Securityholders, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, and the Seller Representative shall cause the Parent Securityholders to pay any amounts required to be paid by the Parent Securityholders pursuant to this Section 10.1(b).

(c) Neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Group) shall amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to any member of the Group with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, in each case, without the Seller Representative’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes of any member of the Group that are payable with respect to any taxable period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that constitutes Pre-Closing Taxes shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (x) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (y) imposed in connection with any sale, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of Taxes (other than those described in clause (i) above) that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the business or assets of any member of the Group or otherwise measured by the level of any item, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding Tax 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. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, (x) any exemption, deduction, credit or other item (including the effect of any graduated rates of tax) that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated to the Straddle Period times 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 and (y) the taxable period of any subsidiary of a member of the Group, which subsidiary is a partnership, any other “flow-through entity” or a “controlled foreign corporation” shall be deemed to end on the Closing Date. In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under this Section 10.1 shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the Closing Date and prorated as provided in clause (ii) above.

Section 10.2 Contest Provisions.

(a) Following the Closing Date, except as provided in (b) below, the Purchaser shall control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing, of any audit, investigation, examination, claim, dispute, claim for refund, or administrative, judicial or other proceeding with or against a Governmental Authority involving any asserted Tax liability or refund with respect to any member of the Group (any such audit, investigation, examination, claim, dispute claim for refund, or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax liability with respect to any member of the Group being a “Tax Contest”).

(b) Following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall notify the Seller Representative in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of written notice of the commencement of any Tax Contest that relates to Taxes for

which the Purchaser is indemnified under Article IX. In the case of a Tax Contest for a Pre-Closing Tax Period of a member of the Group (but not a Straddle Period), if the Seller Representative notifies Purchaser in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such notice from Purchaser that the Seller Representative elects to exercise its right to control the Tax Contest as set forth in this sentence (the “Seller Control Notice”), the Seller Representative shall have the right to control the conduct of such Tax Contest; provided that (i) the Purchaser shall have the right to participate in such Tax Contest at its own expense and (ii) the Seller Representative shall not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Tax Contest that is reasonably likely to affect the Tax liability of any member of the Group for any Post-Closing Tax Period (or any Tax liability that is reasonably likely to be, directly or indirectly, borne by the Purchaser (including by reason of indemnification for such amounts under Article IX not being available as a result of the Cap or any other limitation)) without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (it being understood and agreed for purposes of this clause (ii) that the settlement, compromise or conceding of any Tax Contest in a manner that, and to the extent that it, reduces a carry forward attributable to a Seller Tax Deduction or otherwise implements the provisions set forth in Section 9.5(c), in each case relating to an amount of carry forward or other Tax attribute not materially in excess of the amount of such carry forward or other Tax attribute that is reasonably expected to be applied under Section 9.5(c) for the purposes of computing indemnifiable Damages for Taxes, shall not be considered to affect the Tax liability of any member of the Group for any Post-Closing Tax Period or the Tax liability of Purchaser); provided, further, that (x) if the Seller Representative informs the Purchaser in writing that it chooses not to assume (or retain) control of the conduct of any such Tax Contest, (y) if the Seller Representative does not timely provide such Seller Control Notice, or if, at any time, the Seller Representative fails to defend diligently a Tax Contest that it elected to control pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2(b) (whether by failing to participate in any portion of, or attend any scheduled meetings in connection with, such Tax Contest or by failing to timely submit any materials in connection with such Tax Contest or otherwise) or (z) if more than half of the Tax liability resulting from the Tax Contest would not reasonably be expected to be recovered from the Indemnity Escrow Account (taking into account applicable deductibles and any other pending asserted claims), Purchaser shall have the right to assume control of such Tax Contest (at the Seller Representative’s reasonable expense) but shall not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Tax Contest that is reasonably likely to affect the Tax liability of the Companies or their Subsidiaries for any taxable year (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date and/or liability of the Seller under Article IX without the consent of the Seller Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 10.2(b) and the proviso set forth in Section 10.2(c), the above provisions of this Section 10.2(b) and the proviso set forth in Section 10.2(c) shall not apply (A) after the date on which all amounts shall have been released from Indemnity Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, or, solely in the case of Tax Contests related to Taxes that are indemnifiable under Section 9.1(a)(v) (Specified Taxes) or Section 9.1(a)(vi) (Disclosed Taxes), until the date that is thirty (30) days following the end of the Earnout Period or (B) if the Purchaser notifies the Seller Representative in writing that the Purchaser is waiving its right to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (Seller Indemnity) with respect to Taxes imposed as a result of the resolution of such Tax Contest.

(c) The Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to control the conduct of any Tax Contest for any Straddle Period or any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date; provided, that, in the case of any such Tax Contest for a Straddle Period, (i) the Seller Representative shall have the right to participate in such Tax Contest at its own expense and (ii) the Purchaser shall not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Tax Contest that is reasonably likely to affect the liability of the Seller under Article IX without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(d) Neither the Seller Representative nor any of the Sellers or their respective Affiliates shall settle, compromise and/or concede any audit, investigation, examination, claim, dispute claim for refund, or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax liability with respect to Specified Taxes without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Section 10.3 Interim Tax Covenants. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date each member of the Group shall (and the Seller shall cause each member of the Group to): (a) prepare, in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice (except as otherwise required by a change in applicable Law), and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed by it on or before the Closing Date (“Post-Signing Returns”); (b) fully and timely pay all Taxes shown as due on such Post-Signing Returns that are so filed and any other Taxes of any member of the Group that are due on or before the Closing Date and pay the Prepaid Taxes Amount; (c) promptly notify the Purchaser of any material federal, state, local or foreign income or franchise Tax Contest and any other Tax Contest or Action pending or threatened against or with respect to any member of the Group in respect of any Tax matter, including Tax liabilities and refund claims, and not settle, abandon or compromise any such Tax matter, Tax Contest or Action without the Purchaser’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); (d) not make, change or revoke any material election with regard to Taxes or Tax Matters or file any material amended Tax Returns without the Purchaser’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); (e) not make any significant change in any Tax or accounting methods or systems of internal accounting controls (including procedures with respect to the payment of accounts payable and collection of accounts receivable), except as may be appropriate to conform to changes in Tax laws or regulatory accounting requirements or IFRS; (f) not enter into any “closing agreement” within the meaning of Section 7121 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) or apply for or request any rulings from any Tax authority or any special Tax incentives, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and (g) terminate any and all Tax allocation or sharing agreements or other agreements or arrangements relating to Tax matters (other than any such agreement or arrangement exclusively between or among members of the Group, or non-material commercially reasonable indemnity, sharing or similar agreements or arrangements where the inclusion of a Tax indemnification or allocation provision is customary or incidental to an agreement the primary nature of which is not Tax sharing or indemnification) (“Tax Sharing Agreements”) to which any member of the Group is a party such that, from and after the Closing Date, no member of the Group shall have any liability thereunder.

Section 10.4 Assistance and Cooperation.

(a) The Seller Representative and the Purchaser agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance relating to the Group as is reasonably requested for the filing of any Tax Returns and the preparation, prosecution, defense or conduct of any Tax Contest.

(b) The Seller Representative and the Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Tax Contest involving or otherwise relating to the Group (or their income or assets) and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 10.4. Any information obtained under this Section 10.4(b) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in the conduct of any Tax Contest.

Any information obtained under this Section 10.4(c) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in the conduct of any Tax Contest.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in no event shall any Person be entitled to originals or copies of (and Purchaser shall not be required to deliver originals or copies of) or to review or inspect any Tax Returns of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (other than Tax Returns or portions thereof that relate solely to members of the Group) and (ii) Purchaser shall have the sole and exclusive right to control any Tax Contest in respect of Taxes of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (other than any Tax Contest solely involving the members of the Group).

to Article IX, as a credit against or offset against such indemnification obligation and (ii) thereafter, in the case of any refunds that remain after application of clause (i) and that are in excess of any Damages that would be indemnifiable under Section 9.1(a) (Seller Indemnity) but for the limitations set forth in Section 9.4(b) (Deductible) and 9.4(c) (Cap), as a cash payment, but, in all cases, only to the extent that such credit or refund is actually realized by any member of the Group (either as a cash refund received or as a reduction of Taxes otherwise payable in lieu of a cash refund), reduced by any costs (including Taxes) incurred by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including members of the Group) in connection with the receipt or accrual of such credit or refund; provided, that the Seller shall not be entitled to any credits or refunds (i) attributable to a carryback (or use) of any loss, deduction or other similar tax item arising in a Post-Closing Tax Period, (ii) reflected in the amount of the Actual Trade Working Capital and specifically identified as such or (iii) after the date on which all amounts shall have been released from the Indemnity Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

The Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall reasonably cooperate in the preparation of any Tax Returns required to be filed in respect of any Conveyance Taxes. It is agreed and understood that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Conveyance Taxes required to be paid by Seller pursuant to this Section 10.6 shall not be subject to the Deductible, or taken into account in determining whether the Deductible has been met.

Section 10.7 Section 338 Elections. Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, cause a timely and irrevocable election under Section 338(g) of the Code (and any corresponding provisions of state or local Tax law) to be made with respect to the acquisition of the UK Company pursuant to this Agreement (or any Subsidiary of the UK Company) but not the US Company. The Seller Representative shall reasonably cooperate with and provide the Purchaser with such assistance as is reasonably requested by the Purchaser to enable the Purchaser to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.338-2(e)(4).

ARTICLE XI

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

Section 11.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Purchaser and the Seller Representative;

(b) by the Purchaser, upon written notice to the Seller Representative of a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Seller or a Company set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (Additional Conditions to Obligations of the Purchaser) not to be satisfied and (ii) if curable, has not been cured within 60 days following the earlier of receipt by the Purchaser of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Seller or a Company, as the case may be, or receipt by the Seller or a Company of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Purchaser;

(c) by the Seller Representative, upon written notice to the Purchaser of a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 (Additional Conditions to Obligations of the Seller) not to be satisfied and (ii) if curable, has not been cured within 60 days following the earlier of receipt by the Seller Representative of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Purchaser, as the case may be, or receipt by the Purchaser of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Seller Representative;

(d) by either the Purchaser or the Seller Representative, if there shall be any Law or Order which is final and nonappealable preventing the consummation of the Transactions on the terms set forth herein or that makes consummation of the Transactions on the terms set forth herein illegal; or

(e) by either the Purchaser or the Seller Representative, if the Closing shall not have occurred by April 1, 2015 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(e) shall not be available to any party whose breach of or failure to perform any material covenant, agreement or obligation hereunder is the principal cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such Outside Date.

Section 11.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 (Termination), this Agreement shall immediately become void, there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of the Purchaser, the Seller, the Group, any of their respective Affiliates or their or their Affiliates’ respective Representatives, shareholders, managers or partners and all rights and obligations of any party hereto shall cease, except that any such termination shall not relieve any party hereto from any liability for any and all Damages suffered by the other party hereto as a result of actual and intentional fraud with respect to any express provisions in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

provisions of Section 6.3 (Pre-Closing Access and Information; Confidentiality) (other than the first sentence thereof), this Section 11.2, Section 11.3 (Fees and Expenses), Section 11.4 (Amendment) and Article XII (General Provisions) shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties under the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 11.3 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the Transactions are consummated.

Section 11.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time; provided, however, that no amendment, modification or supplement shall be made to this Agreement that would adversely affect the rights of the Financing Sources as set forth in Section 11.4 or Section 12.6 (Parties in Interest) or 12.9 (Governing Law; Waiver of a Jury Trial) without the consent of the Financing Sources. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the Purchaser, the Companies and the Seller Representative.

Section 11.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing Date, any party hereto entitled to the benefits thereof, may, to the extent permitted by Law (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. Such extension or waiver shall not be deemed to apply to any time for performance, inaccuracy in any representation or warranty, or noncompliance with any agreement or condition, as the case may be, other than that which is specified in the extension or waiver. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

ARTICLE XII

Section 12.2 Headings; Table of Contents. The headings and table of contents contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 12.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 12.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the Seller Disclosure Letter, the Group Disclosure Letter and the Purchaser Disclosure Letter) and the other Transaction Documents, including the Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the entire agreement of the parties, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties or between any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 12.5 Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, that without written consent of any party hereto, the Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any of its Subsidiaries, but no such assignment shall relieve the Purchaser of any liability or obligation hereunder; provided further, that without written consent of any party hereto, the Seller may assign its rights under the Escrow Agreement to the Seller Representative or an Affiliate of Seller Representative acting on behalf of the Parent Securityholders and may direct that any payment to which it is entitled be made to any Persons. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 12.6 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and, except as set forth in Section 7.6 (Indemnification of Directors and Officers), nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except that the provisions of Sections 11.4, this Section 12.6 and Section 12.9 shall be enforceable by each Financing Source.

Section 12.7 Specific Performance. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of any party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder will cause irreparable injury to the other parties for which damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of such party’s obligations and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder.

Section 12.8 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. 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 a 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 other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for elsewhere herein, all rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Section 12.9 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOMESTIC LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTING PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE TO BE

APPLIED. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WILL CONTROL THE INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF UNDER SUCH JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW ANALYSIS, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT SUCH PARTY MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREUNDER.

Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, (i) each of the Seller and the Companies agrees that no Financing Source shall have any liability or obligation to the Seller, each Company or any of the Seller’s or each Company’s Affiliates and each of the Seller and each Company hereby waives any and all rights or claims against the Financing Sources in each case to the extent relating to this Agreement, the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and in each case whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise and (ii) each of the Parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof). The Parties hereto further agree that all of the provisions of the preceding paragraph relating to waiver of jury trial shall apply to any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third party-claim referenced in this paragraph.

Section 12.10 Consent to Jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY DELAWARE STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, AND ANY APPROPRIATE APPELLATE COURTS THEREFROM, WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND TO THE TRANSACTIONS (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN ANOTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT), WAIVES ALL OBJECTIONS BASED ON LACK OF VENUE AND FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF ALL SUCH COURTS.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when the Purchaser, the Companies and the Seller shall have executed this Agreement. This Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or.pdf transmission.

The interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the following rules of construction: (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (b) references to the terms Article, Section, clause, subclause,

Section 12.13 Seller Representative.

(a) The Seller Representative is hereby irrevocably appointed as the representative, agent, proxy, and attorney-in-fact for the Seller for all purposes under this Agreement including the full power and authority on the Seller’s behalf: (i) to consummate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith (including the other Transaction Documents), (ii) to negotiate and settle disputes arising under, or relating to, this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith (including the other Transaction Documents), (iii) to receive and disburse to the Parent Securityholders or Seller any funds received on behalf of the Seller under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or otherwise, (iv) to withhold any amounts received on behalf of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including the Representative Holdback Amount, or otherwise to satisfy any and all obligations or liabilities incurred by the Seller Representative in the performance of their duties hereunder, (v) to direct the distribution of funds, designate or engage a paying agent to distribute funds (including any amounts paid to the Seller in accordance with Section 2.4 (Escrow) and Section 2.5 (Earnout)), make or direct payments of funds from the Representative Holdback Amount, give receipts for funds, authorize deliveries to the Purchaser of cash from the Escrow Accounts in satisfaction of claims asserted by the Purchaser, and object to any claims by any Person against the Escrow Accounts, (vi) to execute and deliver any amendment or waiver to this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith (including the other Transaction Documents) without the prior approval of the Seller or any Parent Securityholder and (vii) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of the Seller in connection with this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith (including

the other Transaction Documents). The Seller, by signing this Agreement, further agree that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Seller Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of the Seller. All decisions and actions by the Seller Representative shall be binding upon the Seller, and the Seller shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Purchaser may conclusively rely, without independent verification or investigation, upon any such decision or action of the Seller Representative as being the binding decision or action of the Seller, and the Purchaser shall not be liable to the Seller or any other Persons for any actions taken or omitted from being taken by them or by the Purchaser in accordance with or reliance upon any such decision or action of the Seller Representative. The Seller Representative shall act by a majority in interest of Oak Hill Capital Partners III, L.P. and Oak Hill Capital Management Partners III, L.P. The Seller Representative shall have no duties or obligations to the Seller hereunder, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(b) By signing this Agreement, the Seller hereby, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Representative and its partners, managers, officers, agents and other Representatives against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts incurred by such Persons in connection with any Action to which the Seller Representative or such other Person is made a party by reason of the fact that it is or was acting as the Seller Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, other than as a result of the Seller Representative’s bad faith or willful misconduct.

(c) Neither the Seller Representative nor any of its members, managers, officers, agents or other Representatives shall incur any liability to the Seller by virtue of the failure or refusal of such Persons for any reason to consummate the Transactions or relating to the performance of their duties hereunder, except for actions or omissions constituting bad faith or willful misconduct. The Seller Representative and its members, managers, officers, agents and other Representatives and their respective Affiliates shall have no liability in respect of any Action brought against such Persons by the Seller, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, unless such Persons took or omitted taking any action in bad faith or as result of willful misconduct.

(d) The Seller Representative shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to recover from any amounts withheld by the Seller Representative, including without limitation, the Representative Holdback Amount, its reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in the performance of its duties hereunder (the “Charges”). The Seller will be obligated to pay any Charges in excess of the Representative Holdback Amount to the Seller Representative.

(e) In furtherance of, and without limiting any rights of the Seller Representative set forth in, Sections 12.13(a)(iv), 12.13(a)(v) and 12.13(d), the Seller Representative shall have the right and the Seller hereby authorizes the Seller Representative, to use the Representative Holdback Amount to satisfy potential future obligations of the Seller and expenses incurred by the Seller Representative in connection with performing its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Representative Holdback Amount shall be retained by the Seller Representative until such time as the Seller Representative shall determine, and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the balance of the

Representative Holdback Amount, if any, shall be delivered by the Seller Representative to the Parent Securityholders on behalf of the Seller. The Seller will not receive any interest or earnings on the Representative Holdback Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Seller Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Seller Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Representative Holdback Amount other than as a result of its bad faith or willful misconduct. The Representative Holdback Amount shall be held in an FDIC-insured account or accounts at a nationally recognized financial institution.

(f) In the event that the Seller Representative becomes unable or unwilling to continue in its capacity as Seller Representative, or if the Seller Representative resigns as the Seller Representative, the Seller may by written consent appoint a new representative as the Seller Representative. Notice and a copy of the written consent appointing such new representative and bearing the signature of the Seller must be delivered to the Purchaser. Such appointment will be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date such consent is received by the Purchaser.

Section 12.14 Provision With Respect to Legal Representation. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, Macfarlanes LLP and in-house lawyers of the Seller Representative and its Affiliates have represented the Seller, the Parent Securityholders and the Group in connection with the Transactions. All of the parties recognize the community of interest that exists and will continue to exist until the Closing, and the parties agree that such community of interest should continue to be recognized after the Closing. Specifically, the parties agree that (a) the Purchaser shall not, and from and after the Closing shall cause any member of the Group not to, seek to have Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, Macfarlanes LLP or any in-house lawyer of the Seller Representative or its Affiliates which has represented the Seller, the Parent Securityholders and the Group in connection with the Transactions disqualified from representing the Seller or the Parent Securityholders in any dispute (whether in contract or tort) that may arise between the Seller or the Parent Securityholders, on the one hand, and the Purchaser or, from and after the Closing, any member of the Group, on the other, based upon, arising out of or related to the Transaction Documents or any of the Transactions in whole or in part, and (b) in connection with any dispute that may arise between the Seller, the Parent Securityholders and their respective successors, shareholders, partners, members, trustees and Representatives on the one hand, and the Purchaser or, from and after the Closing, the members of the Group and their respective successors, shareholders, partners, members, trustees and Representatives, on the other, the Seller and the Parent Securityholders (and not the Group) will have the right to decide whether or not to waive any attorney-client privilege that may apply to any communications between any member of the Group and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, Macfarlanes LLP or any in-house lawyer of the Seller Representative or its Affiliates which has represented the Seller, the Parent Securityholders and the Group in connection with the Transactions that occurred on or prior to the Closing, and any such communications (whether in written form or email) in the possession of any member of the Group shall not be admissible in any dispute, shall be held separately and not disclosed to any other Person, shall be returned to the Seller Representative upon request and shall not be used by the Purchaser for any purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between the Purchaser or any member of the Group, on the one hand, and a third party that is not a Seller Affiliated Person, on the other hand, the Purchaser or the member of the Group, as applicable, may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party.

Section 12.15 Purchaser Guarantee. The Purchaser shall cause the UK Purchaser to comply with its obligations under this Agreement and hereby guarantees the payment and performance of any and all obligations of the UK Purchaser under this Agreement.
