Subject to Section 5.5, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consent necessary for the transfer or assignment of any such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit to the Acquiror. For the purposes of this Section 2.3, the term “commercially reasonable efforts” shall not be deemed to require any Person to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any consent or waiver may be required. If, on the Closing Date, any such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted transfer or assignment thereof would be ineffective or a violation of Law or would adversely affect the rights of the Acquiror (as assignee of the Company) thereto or thereunder so that the Acquiror would not in fact receive all such rights, the Company and the Acquiror will, subject to Section 5.5, cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement (to the extent contractually permitted) under which the Acquiror would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit in accordance with this

Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the Acquiror, or under which the Company would enforce for the benefit (and at the expense) of the Acquiror any and all of its rights against a third party (including any Governmental Entity) associated with such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit (collectively, “Third Party Rights”), and the Company would promptly pay to the Acquiror when received all monies received by it under any such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit. Nothing stated in this Section 2.3 shall modify in any respect the conditions set forth in Article VIII.

SECTION 2.4 Dividable Contracts.

(a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the transfer to the Acquiror of such portion of each Dividable Contract listed on Section 2.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Critical Dividable Contracts”), or the benefits thereof, that relates to the Business on terms that maintain the costs to the Business as owned by the Acquiror with the costs to the Business as owned by the Company (a “Cost Neutral Basis”). Upon such transfer, the Acquiror shall assume any Liabilities arising after the Closing related to the transferred portion of the Critical Dividable Contracts and any other Liabilities arising under the Critical Dividable Contracts shall remain with the Company. For purposes of this Section 2.4 only, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall include (i) a written reasoned request and recommendation in favor of such transfer to the landlord, customer or supplier that is the other party to such Critical Dividable Contract, (ii) subject to applicable non-disclosure agreements, the provision to the Acquiror of all information and records available to the Company relating to landlords, customers or suppliers, as the case may be, with respect to such portion of such Critical Dividable Contract, (iii) the provision to the Acquiror of available landlord, customer or supplier decision maker(s) with respect to such portion of such Critical Dividable Contract, (iv) if the Company or the Acquiror so requests, in accordance with reasonable commercial practice, the organization of mutually agreeable joint visits of the Acquiror and the Company with such landlords, customers or suppliers, subject, in each case, to any applicable confidentiality agreements or obligations of the Company and (v) prior to the Closing, the Company’s assistance and cooperation in negotiating a separate agreement on a Cost Neutral Basis with the other party to such Critical Dividable Contract if deemed appropriate by the Acquiror. In the event that in connection with any transfer of a portion of a Critical Dividable Contract, the applicable landlord, customer or supplier requests changes that would not result in such portion of such Critical Dividable Contract being transferred on a Cost Neutral Basis or otherwise requires any payments or concessions, the Company shall inform the Acquiror and the Acquiror shall have five (5) Business Days (or such lesser number of Business Days until the Closing Date) either (i) to agree to the transfer of such portion of such Critical Dividable Contract with such changes or to make such payments or (ii) to reject the transfer of such portion of such Critical Dividable Contract in which case the provisions of Section 2.4(b) shall apply.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any of the Critical Dividable Contracts have not been divided and assigned by the parties prior to Closing (the “Post-Closing Dividable Contracts”), then this Agreement shall not constitute a transfer of such portion of any such Post-Closing Dividable Contract, or an attempt thereof. Following the Closing, the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain promptly such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers and to cooperate with each other in connection with the transfer of any such portion of any Post-Closing Dividable Contract

that has not been divided and assigned prior to Closing; provided, however, that the Company and the Acquiror shall not be required to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any consent or waiver may be required; provided, further, however, that the Acquiror may elect to pay or commit to pay such amounts (or incur such obligations) in its sole discretion. To the extent that the Acquiror is provided the benefits pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement of any portion of any such Post-Closing Dividable Contract, the Acquiror shall perform, for the benefit of the other Persons that are parties thereto, the obligations (including payment obligations) of the Company thereunder and any related Liabilities that, but for the lack of an authorization, approval, consent or waiver in connection with the assignment of such Liabilities to the Acquiror, would have become Liabilities of the Acquiror arising on or after the Closing by virtue of the transfer of such portion of such Post-Closing Dividable Contract and any other obligations and Liabilities arising under such Post-Closing Dividable Contract shall remain with the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that the transfer to the Acquiror of the portion of any Other Dividable Contract that relates to the Business, or any claim or right or any applicable Law would require any Governmental Entity’s or third-party’s authorization, approval, consent or waiver, and the Closing (subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII) proceeds without such authorization, approval, consent or waiver then this Agreement shall not constitute a transfer of such portion of such Other Dividable Contract, or an attempt thereof. In the event that any such portion of any Other Dividable Contract is not transferred prior to the Closing, then, following the Closing, the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain promptly such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers and to cooperate with each other in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Company and the Acquiror shall not be required to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any consent or waiver may be required; provided, further, however, that the Acquiror may elect to pay or commit to pay such amounts (or incur such obligations) in its sole discretion. To the extent that the Acquiror is provided the benefits pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement of any portion of such Other Dividable Contract, the Acquiror shall perform, for the benefit of the other Persons that are parties thereto, the obligations (including payment obligations) of the Company thereunder and any related Liabilities that, but for the lack of an authorization, approval, consent or waiver in connection with the assignment of such Liabilities to the Acquiror, would have become Liabilities of the Acquiror arising on or after the Closing by virtue of the transfer of such portion of such Other Dividable Contract and any other obligations and Liabilities arising under such Other Dividable Contract shall remain with the Company.

(d) To the extent authorization, approval, consent or waiver for the transfer of any such portion of any Other Dividable Contract is obtained, the Company shall immediately transfer such portion of any such Other Dividable Contract to the Acquiror, and the Acquiror shall assume obligations arising after such transfer under such portion of any such Other Dividable Contracts.

SECTION 2.5 Closing. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than the second Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing specified in Article VIII (other than those conditions which, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the

Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), the sale and purchase of the Shares and the Transferred Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) that will be held at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 425 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017, or such other time or place as the Company and the Acquiror may agree in writing, provided, however, that if the Marketing Period has not ended at such time, the Closing will instead occur on the earlier of (a) a date during the Marketing Period specified by the Acquiror on no fewer than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Company and (b) the final day of the Marketing Period (the date on which the Closing takes place being the “Closing Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, without the prior consent of the Acquiror, the Closing Date shall not occur prior to the earlier of (i) the second Business Day following the Parent Shareholder Approval and (ii) two Business Days prior to the End Date. For all purposes under this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements, all matters at Closing will be considered to take place simultaneously, no delivery of any document will be deemed complete until all transactions and deliveries of documents are completed, and the Closing will be deemed to have occurred in each jurisdiction applicable to the Business on the Closing Date as of 12:01 a.m. local time, irrespective of the actual occurrence of the Closing at any particular time on the Closing Date.

SECTION 2.6 Purchase Price; Deposit.

(a) At the Closing, the Acquiror shall pay to the Company an aggregate amount in cash equal to $1,675,000,000, plus (1) the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, minus (2) the amount, if any, by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital (the net amount derived from the foregoing, the “Closing Amount”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to bank accounts as shall be designated by the Company in writing no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.11, the “Purchase Price”). The amount of any such adjustment pursuant to the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Adjustment”.

(b) As of the date hereof, the Acquiror has deposited, or caused to be deposited, an amount in cash equal to $100,000,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds (the “Deposit”), as collateral and security for the payment of the Closing Amount, into a separate escrow account established pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement, substantially in the form of attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Escrow Agreement”), among Parent, the Company and Citibank, N.A (the “Escrow Agent”), which amount (together with all accrued investment income or interest thereon) shall be released by the Escrow Agent in the following circumstances and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement:

(i) at Closing, the Deposit (together with all accrued investment income or interest thereon) shall be released to the Company and applied to offset and reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the Closing Amount otherwise due at the Closing;

(ii) if all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 have been and continue to be satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing and which are capable of being satisfied at the

Closing) and the Acquiror fails to complete the Closing when required pursuant to Section 2.5 and the Company stood ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing then the Deposit (together with all accrued investment income or interest thereon) shall be released to the Company and retained by the Company in full as a credit towards, and not a limitation on, damages (provided that the Deposit shall be applied to the purchase price in any action brought by the Company seeking specific performance pursuant to Section 11.11);

(iii) if the Acquiror shall have materially failed to comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to the Acquiror set forth in this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1, Section 8.3(b) or Section 8.3(c) not to be capable of being satisfied, and such condition is incapable of being satisfied or cured by the End Date and at such time the Company shall have complied with its obligations under Section 5.4, then the Deposit (together with all accrued investment income or interest thereon) shall be released to the Company and retained in full by the Company as a credit towards, and not a limitation on, damages (provided that the Deposit shall be applied to the purchase price in any action brought by the Company seeking specific performance pursuant to Section 11.11);

(iv) if the Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(a), then the Deposit (together with all accrued investment income or interest thereon) shall be returned to the Acquiror; or

(v) if the Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 9.1 (other than Section 9.1(a)), then the Deposit (together with all accrued investment income or interest thereon) shall be released in accordance with Section 2(f) of the Escrow Agreement.

(d) duly executed instruments of assignment and assumption of the Business Leased Real Property, executed by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Acquiror;

(e) duly executed counterparts to the Ancillary Agreements contemplated to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(c);

(f) releases and Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, executed by the appropriate secured party and in a form appropriate for recording or filing, as applicable, that are sufficient to release any Lien against the Shares and any Lien other than Permitted Liens (but specifically excluding any Liens arising from or related to those Liens set forth in Section 1.1(f) of the Disclosure Schedule) against the Transferred Assets and assets of the Transferred Entities, and evidence of payoff and release of Liens pursuant to any mortgages on the Owned Real Property;

(g) such other deeds, bills of sale, endorsements, consents, assignments and other good and sufficient instruments of conveyance and assignment as the parties and their respective counsel shall deem reasonably necessary for the Assumption of the Assumed Liabilities or to vest in the Acquiror all of the Company’s rights, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets;

(a) cash in an aggregate amount equal to the Closing Amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account or accounts as directed by the Company in accordance with Section 2.6; provided, that, such Closing Amount shall be offset by the amount released to the Company pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(i);

SECTION 2.9 Adjustment to Purchase Price.

(a) Two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Acquiror a statement setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the Working Capital as of 11:59 PM PST on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (“Estimated Working Capital”). The Estimated Working Capital shall be determined using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and allocation methodology, as were used in preparation of the Form of Working Capital Statement of the Business and shall be in the same form as the Form of Working Capital Statement of the Business. For purposes of calculating Working Capital, whether or not the date as of which Working Capital is required to be calculated hereunder coincides with a fiscal quarter-end or accounting-period end of the Company, Working Capital shall be calculated using the Company’s customary fiscal quarter-end or accounting- period end close procedures for the preparation thereof, including the Company’s procedures with respect to accruals and adjustments.

(b) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Acquiror a statement (the “Initial Working Capital Statement”), executed by an officer of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail the Company’s calculation of Working Capital as of 11:59 PM PST on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”) together with the workpapers used in the preparation thereof (which shall include appropriate information and documentation in reasonable detail supporting the Company’s calculations). The Closing Working Capital shall be determined using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and allocation methodology, as were used in preparation of the Form of Working Capital Statement of the Business and shall be in the same form as the Form of Working Capital Statement of the Business.

(c) During the 30-day period immediately following the Acquiror’s receipt of the Initial Working Capital Statement (the “Review Period”), the Acquiror and its Representatives will be permitted to review the Company’s work papers relating to the Initial Working Capital Statement, and the Company shall make available the individuals in its employ responsible for and knowledgeable about the information used in, and the preparation of, the Initial Working Capital Statement, to respond to the reasonable inquiries of the Acquiror.

(d) The Acquiror agrees that, following the Closing through the date that the Final Working Capital Statement becomes final and binding, it will not take any actions with respect to any accounting books, records, policies or procedures on which the Statement of Net Assets or the Initial Working Capital Statement is based or on which the Final Working Capital Statement is to be based that are inconsistent with the past practice of the Business (or the Company with respect to the Business) or that would impede or delay the determination of the amount of Closing Working Capital or the preparation of the Notice of Disagreement or the Final Working Capital Statement in the manner and utilizing the methods required by this Agreement. The Company and the Acquiror acknowledge that the sole purpose of the determination of Working Capital is to adjust the Purchase Price so as to reflect the difference, if any, between the Target Working Capital and the Final Working Capital resulting only from the operation of the Business.

(e) The Acquiror and the Company agree that any adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.9 or Section 2.12, and any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement, shall be treated as an adjustment of the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

SECTION 2.10 Reconciliation of Post-Closing Statements.

(a) The Acquiror shall notify the Company in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”) prior to the expiration of the Review Period if the Acquiror disagrees with the Initial Working Capital Statement or the Closing Working Capital set forth therein. The Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute, including, with respect to any such item in which the Company has allocated an amount between the Business and the other businesses of the Company, why the Acquiror believes that the allocation methodology applied by the Company is not consistent with that used in the preparation of the Form of Working Capital Statement of the Business, the amounts involved and the Acquiror’s determination of the amount of Closing Working Capital. All matters, components, calculations and assumptions in the Initial Working Capital Statement that the Acquiror does not specifically dispute shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment. If no Notice of Disagreement is received by the Company prior to expiration of the Review Period, then the Initial Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Acquiror and shall become final and binding upon the parties in accordance with Section 2.10(d).

(b) During the 30-day period immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement (the “Consultation Period”), the Company and the Acquiror shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement.

(c) If, at the end of the Consultation Period, the Company and the Acquiror have been unable to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, the Company and the Acquiror shall submit all matters

that remain in dispute with respect to the Notice of Disagreement (along with a copy of the Initial Working Capital Statement marked to indicate those line items that are not in dispute) to (i) an independent certified public accounting firm in the United States of national recognition mutually acceptable to the Company and the Acquiror (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) or (ii) if the Company and the Acquiror are unable to agree upon such a firm within ten (10) Business Days after the end of the Consultation Period, then within an additional ten (10) Business Days, the Company and the Acquiror shall each select one such firm and those two firms shall select a third such firm, in which event “Independent Accounting Firm” shall mean such third firm. The Independent Accounting Firm shall use the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and allocation methodology, as were used in preparation of the Form of Working Capital Statement of the Business in making its determination. The Company and the Acquiror shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to reach a determination, solely with respect to the matters specifically disputed in the Notice of Disagreement, not more than 30 days after such referral. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize or permit the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve or otherwise review any items which are not specifically disputed in the Notice of Disagreement. With respect to each disputed line item, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either the Company or the Acquiror, shall not be in excess of the amount that results in higher Closing Working Capital, nor less than the amount that results in lower Closing Working Capital, as advocated by the Company in the Initial Working Capital Statement or the Acquiror in the Notice of Disagreement with respect to such disputed line item, respectively. The statement of Closing Working Capital that is final and binding on the parties, as determined either through agreement of the parties pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b) or through the action of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), is referred to as the “Final Working Capital Statement” and the Closing Working Capital reflected on such Final Working Capital Statement is referred to as the “Final Working Capital”.

(d) The cost of the Independent Accounting Firm’s review and determination shall be shared equally by the Company, on the one hand, and the Acquiror, on the other hand. During the review by the Independent Accounting Firm, the Acquiror and the Company and their respective accountants will each make available to the Independent Accounting Firm interviews with such individuals, and such information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably requested by the Independent Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.10(c); provided, however, that the accountants of the Company or the Acquiror shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Independent Accounting Firm except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after the Independent Accounting Firm has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants. In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm will be entitled to the privileges and immunities of an arbitrator.

SECTION 2.11 Tax Withholding. The Acquiror shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all Taxes that the Acquiror may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of Tax Law; provided, however, that if the Company delivers a certificate in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2) to the effect that the Company is not a “foreign person,” the Acquiror shall not be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price any Taxes. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to the Company hereunder.

SECTION 2.12 Post-Closing Adjustment. (i) If the Final Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital, the Acquiror shall pay the Company the amount of such excess; and (ii) if the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Final Working Capital, the Company shall pay the Acquiror the amount of such excess. Any amounts owed pursuant to this Section 2.12 (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”), together with interest accrued from the Closing Date through the date of payment at an annual rate equal to the prime interest rate as reported by The Wall Street Journal as of the Closing Date, shall be paid in one payment to either the Company or the Acquiror, as the case may be, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified by the receiving party within three (3) Business Days after the Final Working Capital Statement becomes final, conclusive and binding pursuant to Section 2.10(c).

SECTION 3.4 Shares. Section 3.4 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth an accurate list of the authorized and issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity securities of each of the Transferred Entities. Except as set forth on Section 3.4 of the Disclosure Schedule, all of the Shares have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company and/or another Transferred Entity free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Liens or Liens created by or through the Acquiror or any of its Affiliates).

As a result, the Business and the Transferred Assets have been allocated certain charges and credits for purposes of the preparation of the Financial Statements.

(i) (1) the prompt provision to each and every Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over enforcement of any applicable antitrust or competition laws (“Government Antitrust Entity”) of non-privileged information and documents as defined under applicable Law requested by any Government Antitrust Entity or that are necessary, proper or advisable to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (2) the prompt filing with the applicable Government Antitrust Entity of all appropriate notices and reports required under applicable Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(ii) the prompt use of its reasonable best efforts to avoid the entry of any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other order, decree, decision, determination or judgment that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the proffer and agreement by the Acquiror of its willingness to sell or otherwise dispose of, or hold separate pending such disposition, and promptly to effect the sale, liquidation, disposal and holding separate of, such assets, categories of assets or businesses or other segments of the Business or the Acquiror or the Acquiror’s subsidiaries (and the entry into agreements with, and submission to orders of, the relevant Government Antitrust Entity giving effect thereto), in each case conditioned upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby if such action should be reasonably necessary or

advisable to avoid, prevent, eliminate or remove the actual, anticipated or threatened (x) commencement of any proceeding in any forum or (y) issuance of any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other order, decree, decision, determination or judgment that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by any Government Antitrust Entity; and

(iii) the prompt use of its reasonable best efforts to take, in the event that any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction, decision, order, judgment, determination or decree is entered or issued, or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered or issued, in any proceeding, review or inquiry of any kind that would make the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unlawful or that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, any and all steps (including, the appeal thereof, the posting of a bond or the taking of the steps contemplated by clause (ii) of this Section 5.4(b)) necessary to resist, vacate, modify, reverse, suspend, prevent, eliminate, avoid or remove such actual, anticipated or threatened injunction, decision, order, judgment, determination or decree so as to permit such consummation on a schedule as close as possible to that contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each party to this Agreement shall promptly notify the other party of any communication it receives from any Governmental Entity relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement, shall permit the other party to review in advance any proposed communication by such party to any Governmental Entity, and shall provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity or members of its staff, on the other hand, subject to this Section 5.4. No party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any such filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, Section 5.3(b) and to this Section 5.4(c) and compliance with applicable Law, the parties to this Agreement will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing.

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consent of any Person (other than Governmental Entities) required to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Acquiror agrees to cooperate reasonably with the Company in obtaining such consents. To the extent that the Acquiror and the Company are unable to obtain any required third party consents prior to the Closing (such consents, the “Post-Closing Consents”), each of the Acquiror and the Company, respectively, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make or obtain (or cause to be made or obtained) as promptly as practicable all Post-Closing Consents. For purposes of this Section 5.5, the term “commercially reasonable efforts” shall not be deemed to require any Person to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any consent or waiver may be required.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.6 shall prohibit the Acquiror from contacting the customers, suppliers and licensors of the Business in the ordinary course of the Acquiror’s businesses for the purpose of selling products of the Acquiror’s businesses or for any other purpose unrelated to the Business and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 5.7 Non-Competition; Non-Hire.

(a) Restrictions on Competing Activities Following Closing:

(i) The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, for a period of two years following the Closing Date, establish or acquire any new businesses within the Business Territory that involve the manufacture, distribution or sale for human consumption of a Competing Product, nor directly or indirectly engage in, invest, manage, operate, lend funds to or provide consulting, manufacturing or co-packing services to any person engaged in the manufacture, distribution or sale for human consumption of a Competing Product, (the “Competing Activities”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to (A) continue to conduct their current businesses and extensions thereof (other than the Competing Activities); (B) acquire and own interests of any Person engaged in Competitive Activities, so long as such interests do not represent twenty percent (20%) or more of such Person’s voting securities; (C) acquire, own and operate, or otherwise invest in, a Person that engages in Competing Activities (so long as the portion of the revenue of such Person derived solely from Competing Activities does not account for more than fifteen percent (15%) of the consolidated revenue of the Company during its most recently completed fiscal year); or (D) be acquired by one or more entities that own(s) a business that competes with the Business.

(ii) The parties mutually agree that this Section 5.7 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the Company’s and the Acquiror’s legitimate business interests and the value of the Business, the Shares, the Transferred Assets and the Company’s other businesses, and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on any party and their respective successors.

(b) The Company agrees not to (x) for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date for employees who are, immediately prior to the Closing, at the director level or above or (y) for a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date for all other employees, directly or indirectly hire or solicit for hire any salaried Transferred Employee who accepts the Acquiror’s offer of employment or who remains an employee of a Transferred Entity following the Closing for so long as such individual is employed by the Acquiror or any Affiliate of Acquiror; provided, however, that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be prohibited from soliciting or hiring any such individual who contacts the Company or any Subsidiary in response to any general solicitation or advertising not specifically directed at any such individual or group of individuals.

(c) The Acquiror agrees not to (x) for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date for employees who are, immediately prior to the Closing, at the director level or above or (y) for a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date for all other employees, directly or indirectly hire or solicit for hire any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries (excluding Transferred Employees); provided, however, that the Acquiror and its Subsidiaries shall not be prohibited from soliciting or hiring any such individual who contacts the Acquiror or any Subsidiary in response to any general solicitation or advertising not specifically directed at any such individual or group of individuals.

(d) If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in this Section 5.7 is invalid or unenforceable, then the parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power (but without affecting the right of the Company or the Acquiror to obtain the relief provided for in this Section 5.7 in any jurisdiction other than such court’s or tribunal’s jurisdiction) to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. To the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, each of the Company and the Acquiror hereby waives on its own behalf and on behalf of its successors, any provision of Law which renders any provision of this Section 5.7 invalid, void or unenforceable in any respect.

(e) Each of the Company and the Acquiror acknowledges and agrees that the remedies at law for any breach of the requirements of this Section 5.7 would be inadequate, and agrees and consents that without intending to limit any additional remedies that may be available, temporary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief may be granted without proof of actual damage or inadequacy of legal remedy, in any proceeding which may be brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 5.7.

SECTION 5.8 Credit and Performance Support Obligations. The Acquiror agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, but shall not be required to pay or commit to pay any amount, to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to be absolutely and unconditionally relieved on or prior to the Closing Date of all Liabilities and obligations arising out of the guaranties, letters of credit, performance bonds and other similar items issued and outstanding in connection with or for the benefit of the Business or in respect of the Transferred Assets as set forth in Section 5.8 of the Disclosure Schedule, including by causing one or more of the Acquiror or its Subsidiaries to be substituted in all respects for the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of such Liabilities, and the Acquiror shall indemnify the Company and its Affiliates

against any Losses of any kind whatsoever with respect to such Liabilities.

In the event requested by the Acquiror, prior to the Closing, the Company shall cooperate with the Acquiror, at Acquiror’s sole cost and expense, to assist the Acquiror in obtaining certified ALTA or other types of surveys with respect to each parcel of Owned Real Property and, subject to the terms and provisions of the Real Property Leases, the Leased Real Property desired by the Acquiror. In the

For the avoidance of doubt, neither the delivery of ALTA surveys nor the issuance of any title insurance policies shall be a condition to Closing.

SECTION 5.17 Post-Closing Cooperation.

(a) The Company, on the one hand, and the Acquiror, on the other, shall cooperate with each other, and shall cause their officers, employees, agents, auditors and other Representatives to cooperate with each other after the Closing to ensure the orderly transition of the Business from the Company to the Acquiror and to minimize any disruption to the Business and the other respective businesses of the Company and the Acquiror that might result from the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Each party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, retain all books and records and other documents pertaining to the Business in existence on the Closing Date for seven (7) years following the Closing; provided, that no such Business books and records or other documents shall be destroyed or disposed of during such seven (7) year period without first advising such other party in writing and giving such other party a reasonable opportunity to obtain possession thereof for the purposes permitted by this Section 5.17.

(c) Each party shall reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in assisting the other pursuant to this Section 5.17. Neither party shall be required by this Section 5.17 to take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business or unreasonably disrupt its normal operations. Any information relating to the Business received by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.17 shall be subject to Section 5.3(b).

The Company shall cause the Transferred Entities to, and shall instruct its and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and other representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, activities and negotiations with any Person with respect to any Proposed Transaction.

SECTION 5.20 Financing.

(b) Acquiror shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the financing (including any action taken in accordance with this Section 5.20) and any information utilized in connection therewith. Acquiror shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or its subsidiaries in connection with this Section 5.20. The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing Commitments, provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their logos and on such other customary terms and conditions as the Company shall reasonably impose.

SECTION 5.21 Other Certain Shared Assets. During the period from the Closing Date through the second anniversary thereof, the Acquiror may elect to request access to a specific Qualifying Shared Asset or that a Qualifying Shared Asset be deemed a Transferred Asset by sending notice of such request to the Company (an “Access Notice”), which Access Notice shall describe the requested Qualifying Shared Asset in reasonable detail. In the event that the Acquiror requests access to a Qualifying Shared Asset or a determination that such Qualifying Shared Asset is a Transferred Asset as contemplated by this Section 5.21, the Acquiror and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to determine whether such access can be provided to the Acquiror in a manner consistent with the manner in which such Qualifying Shared Asset was previously made available to the Business immediately prior to the Closing or whether such Qualifying Shared Asset shall be deemed a Transferred Asset.

SECTION 5.22 Insurance.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, (i) subject to Section 5.22(c), the Company will be entitled to terminate or cause its Subsidiaries to terminate all insurance coverage relating to the Transferred Assets and the Business and the current or former directors,

officers and employees thereof under the general corporate policies of insurance, cancelable surety bonds and hold harmless agreements and (ii) the Acquiror shall become solely responsible for all insurance coverage and related risk of loss with respect to the Transferred Assets, Business and its current or former directors, officers and employees.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.22(a), to the extent that (i) any insurance policies issued for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Company’s Insurance Policies”) cover any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense relating to the Business and relating to or arising out of occurrences on or prior to the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Matters”) and (ii) the Company’s Insurance Policies continue after the Closing to permit claims to be made thereunder with respect to Pre-Closing Matters, the Company shall cooperate and cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate with the Acquiror in submitting claims with respect to Pre-Closing Matters on behalf of the Acquiror under the Company’s Insurance Policies; provided that if such a claim in respect of a Pre-Closing Matter is rejected under the Company’s Insurance Policies, at the reasonable request and sole cost of the Acquiror, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to commence litigation to enforce such claim and that Acquiror shall reimburse, indemnify and hold the Company and its Subsidiaries harmless from all liabilities, costs and expenses (including all present or future premiums and retroactive or prospective premium adjustments, deductibles, self-insured retentions, legal and administrative costs, attorney’s fees, overhead and costs of compliance under Seller’s Insurance Policies) of any nature actually incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries as a result of such claims made under the Company’s Insurance Policies and provided, further, that the Acquiror shall not make any such claims if, and to the extent that, such claims are covered by insurance policies held by the Acquiror or its Affiliates. Upon the incurrence or accrual of any such liability, cost or expense relating to claims made under the Company’s Insurance Policies with respect to Pre-Closing Matters and upon receipt from the Company of a statement of the amount of such liabilities, costs and expenses in reasonable detail, from time to time, the Acquiror shall make payment promptly to the Company or its Subsidiaries of the amount indicated in such statement.

(c) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain at the Closing (or prior to expiration or cancelation) a “tail” with respect to each of the Company’s insurance policies set forth in Section 3.20(a) of the Disclosure Schedule providing coverage to the Business or in respect of employment practices of the Business as applicable to or allowed by the policy or to the extent that the policy is not renewed within the original initial discovery period in order to cover claims thereunder made on or before the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to Pre-Closing Matters, on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Acquiror to the extent commercially available. The Company shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Acquiror added as an additional named insured under each such insurance policy for which “tail” coverage was purchased. In the event such insurance tails are obtained, the Acquiror shall reimburse the Company for the full cost of obtaining such tail policies.

ARTICLE VI

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

SECTION 6.1 Transferred Employees.

(a) Where applicable Law provides for the transfer of employment of any Business Employee upon a sale of the Business, the Acquiror and the Company shall take or cause to be taken such actions as are required under applicable Law to accomplish such transfer of employment of such Business Employee to the Acquiror or any of its Affiliates as a matter of Law as of the Closing. Where applicable Law does not provide for the transfer of employment of any current Business Employee upon the sale of the Business to the Acquiror, the Acquiror shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, make offers of employment in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, to be effective as of the Closing, to (i) all such Business Employees (except those Business Employees agreed by the parties) and (ii) certain other individuals, to be agreed by the parties, who are not Business Employees but who are involved in both the Business and other businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Each (i) Business Employee whose employment transfers from the Company to the Acquiror or any of its Affiliates on the Closing by operation of Law, or who receives and accepts the offer of employment from the Acquiror or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) Transferred Entity Employee, is referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”). In connection with the Closing, the Company shall release all Transferred Employees from any covenants, agreements or policies that might restrict their employment by the Acquiror or its Affiliates.

(b) Each offer of employment to any Union Employee shall provide for identical terms and conditions of employment to those provided to such Union Employee at the time of the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to any Transferred Employee that is a Union Employee, Acquiror (or an Affiliate thereof) shall assume and be bound by and shall satisfy the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreements, the terms of which shall govern the employment and benefits of such Transferred Employee until such time as the Collective Bargaining Agreement expires or is modified as the result of Acquiror (or an Affiliate thereof) entering into a new, different or modified agreement with the applicable union. Acquiror shall protect and otherwise hold harmless the Company from any allegations, claims, grievances or proceedings relating to (A) any alleged non-compliance with terms of any Collective Bargaining Agreement relating to successors to the extent attributable to Acquiror’s failure to fulfill its obligations under this Section 6.1 or the relevant Collective Bargaining Agreement, (B) Acquiror’s obligation to assume and comply with any Collective Bargaining Agreement, or (C) Acquiror’s assumption of any Collective Bargaining Agreement.

(c) Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1(c) below, each offer of employment to any Business Employee that is not a Union Employee shall provide for terms and conditions of employment that are substantially equivalent in the aggregate to those provided to such Business Employee at the time of the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to any Transferred Employee that is not a Union Employee, for the one (1) year period immediately following the Closing Date to the extent such Transferred Employee remains employed during such period, the Acquiror shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to each such Transferred Employee: (i) at least the same annual base salary or wage rate in effect as of the date of this Agreement and at least the same bonus opportunities provided by the Company in respect of the fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs and (ii) employee benefits (including, without limitation, perquisites, paid time off and severance benefits) that, in each case, are no less favorable than those employee benefits provided to such Transferred Employee immediately

prior to the Closing or, if more favorable in the aggregate, those employee benefits provided to similarly situated employees of the Acquiror or its Affiliates, as applicable, except the Acquiror shall not be required to continue any equity award programs. Nothing in this Section 6.1(c) is intended to limit or restrict the rights of the Acquiror or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee that is not a Union Employee at will, for any reason or no reason and with or without notice.

SECTION 6.2 Employee-Related Liabilities.

(a) It is the intention of the Parties that all employment-related Liabilities associated with Business Employees and Former Business Employees, whether arising or incurred prior to, on or after the Closing Date, are to be assumed by Acquiror or one of its Affiliates, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, effective as of the Closing, Acquiror or one of its Affiliates shall assume, and none of the Company or its Affiliates shall have any further Liability with respect to, or under:

(i) any individual agreements entered into between the Company and any Business Employee or Former Business Employee;

(ii) agreements entered into between the Company and any individual who is or was an independent contractor, or leasing organization, providing services primarily for the Business;

(iii) Collective Bargaining Agreements, collective agreements, trade union or works council agreements entered into between the Company and any union, works council or other body representing Business Employees and/or Former Business Employees;

(iv) wages, salaries, incentive compensation, commissions, bonuses, paid time off/vacation/sick pay, and any other employee compensation or benefits payable to or on behalf of any Business Employee or Former Business Employee after the Closing, without regard to when such wages, salaries, incentive compensation, commissions, bonuses, or other employee compensation or benefits are or may have been earned;

(v) any nonqualified deferred compensation Company Plan pursuant to which any Business Employee or Former Business Employee has any legally binding rights to payments, whether vested or unvested, as of the Closing Date;

(vi) immigration-related, visa, work application or similar rights, obligations and Liabilities related to any Business Employees or Former Business Employees; and

(vii) all employment-related claims, proceedings, causes of actions, lawsuits and other Liabilities related to any Business Employees or Former Business Employees, without regard to when the events giving rise to the foregoing have occurred.

(c) With respect to unpaid covered claims by any Business Employee or Former Business Employee under any Company Plan that provides welfare benefits or non-qualified deferred compensation, which are either incurred but not processed or that are incurred but unreported prior to the Closing Date, including claims that are self-insured and claims that are fully insured through third-party insurance, the Company or one of its Affiliates shall contine to be responsible for the payment for such claims . Acquiror shall reimburse the Company for its net after-tax cost of paying any such benefit that is not insured. For purposes of this subsection, a claim or expense is deemed to be incurred on or prior to the Closing Date if (i) with respect to medical (including continuous hospitalization), dental, vision and/or prescription drug benefits, the rendering of health services giving rise to such claim or expense occurs on or before the Closing Date; (ii) with respect to life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance, the event giving rise to such claim or expense occurs on or before the Closing Date; and (iii) with respect to long-term disability benefits, the date of an individual’s disability, as determined by the disability benefit insurance carrier or claim administrator, giving rise to such claim or expense, occurs on or before the Closing Date.

(d) As of the Closing, Acquiror or one of its Affiliates shall assume and satisfy all Liabilities with respect to any Business Employee who is, as of the Closing, on vacation or other approved leave of absence, whether paid or unpaid (including leave under FMLA or corresponding state Law, disability, military leave and other approved leave, including Liabilities for salary continuation, paid leave or continuing benefits).

SECTION 6.3 Participation in Company Plans. Effective as of the Closing, the Transferred Employees shall cease to be covered by the Company Plans that are not Transferred Entity Plans.

SECTION 6.4 Service Recognition. Effective as of the Closing Date, Acquiror shall, and shall cause each member of its Affiliates to, give each Transferred Employee full credit for purposes of eligibility, vesting, determination of level of benefits, under any employee benefit plans policies, programs, or arrangements of the Acquiror or its Affiliates (each an “Acquiror Benefit Arrangement”) for such individuals’ service with the Company or Transferred Entities, as applicable, or any predecessor thereto prior to the Closing Date, to the same extent such service was recognized by the applicable Company Plan or Transferred Entity Plan, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, that, such service shall not be recognized to the extent such recognition would result in the duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, (i) Acquiror shall cause each Transferred Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Acquiror Benefit Arrangements to the extent coverage under the Acquiror Benefit Arrangement is comparable to a Company Plan or Transferred Entity Plan, as the case may be, in which the Transferred Employee participated immediately before the Closing Date and (ii) for purposes of each Acquiror Benefit Arrangement providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Transferred Employee, Acquiror shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Acquiror Benefit Arrangement to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, except to the extent such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable Company Plan or Transferred Entity Plan, as the case may be, in which such employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, and Acquiror shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such

employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Company Plan or Transferred Entity Plan, as the case may be, ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding Acquiror Benefit Arrangement begins to be taken into account under such Acquiror Benefit Arrangement for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with the Acquiror Benefit Arrangement.

SECTION 6.5 Company Pension Plan.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, Acquiror shall, or shall have caused one or more of its Affiliates to, establish or maintain a defined benefit pension plan and related trust to accept the transfer of Assets and Liabilities described in Section 6.5(b) and provide retirement benefits to Business Pension Participants (such defined benefit pension plan, the “Acquiror Pension Plan”). Acquiror shall be responsible for taking all necessary, reasonable, and appropriate action to establish, maintain and administer the Acquiror Pension Plan so that it is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that the related trust thereunder is exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code, and as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, Acquiror shall take all steps reasonably necessary to obtain a favorable determination from the IRS as to such qualification if one is not then applicable to the Acquiror Pension Plan. Acquiror shall be responsible for any and all Liabilities (including Liability for funding) and other obligations with respect to the Acquiror Pension Plan.

(b) Acquiror shall cause the Acquiror Pension Plan to assume, fully perform, pay and discharge, all Liabilities under the Company Pension Plan relating to all Business Pension Participants as of immediately before the Closing Date in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.5(b).

(i) The Parties intend that the portion of the Company Pension Plan covering Business Pension Participants shall be transferred to the Acquiror Pension Plan in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1 and Section 208 of ERISA. Any surplus Assets under the Company Pension Plan (i.e., any Assets held under the Company Pension Plan that are in excess of the Assets required to be allocated to the Company Pension Plan and the Acquiror Pension Plan in accordance with the preceding sentence) shall be retained by the Company Pension Plan. No later than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company and Acquiror shall, to the extent necessary, file an IRS Form 5310-A regarding the transfer of Assets and Liabilities from the Company Pension Plan to the Acquiror Pension Plan.

(ii) Prior to the Closing Date (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Company and Acquiror), the Company shall cause the Company Actuary to determine the estimated value, as of the Closing Date, of the Assets to be transferred to the Acquiror Pension Plan in accordance with the assumptions and valuation methodology set forth on Section 6.5(b) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Estimated Company Pension Plan Transfer Amount”).

(iii) Not later than ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Company and Acquiror), the Company and Acquiror shall cooperate in good faith to cause an initial transfer of Assets from the Company Pension Plan to the Acquiror Pension Plan in an amount (as determined by the Company in its discretion) equal to not less than eighty-five percent (85%) and not more than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Estimated Company Pension Plan Transfer Amount (such amount, the “Initial Company Transfer Amount”). The Company shall satisfy its obligation pursuant to this Section 6.5(b)(iii) by causing the Company Pension Plan to transfer an amount of Assets (as determined by the Company in its discretion, in kind, in cash, cash-like securities or other cash equivalents) equal to the Initial Company Transfer Amount.

(iv) Within two hundred seventy (270) days (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Company and Acquiror) following the Closing Date, the Company shall cause the Company Actuary to provide Acquiror with a revised calculation of the value, as of the Closing Date, of the Assets to be transferred to the Acquiror Pension Plan determined in accordance with the assumptions and valuation methodology (including a provision for crediting any distributions made from the Company Pension Plan) set forth on Section 6.5(b) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Revised Company Pension Plan Transfer Amount”). Acquiror may submit, at its sole cost and expense, the Revised Company Pension Plan Transfer Amount to the Acquiror Actuary for verification; provided, that, such verification process and any calculation performed by the Acquiror Actuary in connection therewith shall be performed solely on the basis of the assumptions and valuation methodology set forth on Section 6.5(b) of the Disclosure Schedule. In order to perform such verification, upon request from Acquiror, the Acquiror Actuary shall receive the data and additional detailed methodology used to calculate the Initial Company Transfer Amount and the Revised Company Pension Plan Transfer Amount (if reasonably needed) from the Company Actuary. Acquiror shall be responsible for the cost and expense of the Acquiror Actuary and the Company shall be responsible for the cost and expense for the Company Actuary for such data transfer. In the event the Acquiror Actuary so determines that the value, as of the Closing Date, of the Assets to be transferred to the Acquiror Pension Plan differs from the Revised Company Pension Plan Transfer Amount, the Acquiror Actuary shall identify in writing to the Company Actuary all objections to the determination within sixty (60) days following provision of the revised value calculation to Acquiror pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (iv), and the Acquiror Actuary and the Company Actuary shall use good faith efforts to reconcile any such difference. If the Acquiror Actuary and the Company Actuary fail to reconcile such difference, the Acquiror Actuary and the Company Actuary shall jointly designate a third, independent actuary whose calculation of the value, as of the Closing Date, of the Assets to be transferred to the Acquiror Pension Plan shall be final and binding; provided, that, such calculation must be performed within sixty (60) days following designation of such third actuary and in accordance with the assumptions and valuation methodology set forth on Section 6.5(b) of the Disclosure Schedule; and provided, further, that if such value is not equal to or between the value determined by the Acquiror Actuary and the Revised Company Pension Plan Transfer Amount, such value shall be deemed to be either the value determined by the Acquiror Actuary or the Revised Company Pension Plan Transfer

Amount, whichever is closer. the Company and Acquiror shall each pay one-half of the costs incurred in connection with the retention of such independent actuary. The final, verified value, as of the Closing Date, of the Assets to be transferred to the Acquiror Pension Plan as determined in accordance with this Section 6.5(b)(iv) shall be referred to herein as the “Pension Plan Transfer Amount”.

(v) Within forty-five (45) days (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Company and Acquiror) of the determination of the Pension Plan Transfer Amount, the Company shall cause the Company Pension Plan to transfer to the Acquiror Pension Plan (the date of such transfer, the “Final Company Transfer Date”) an amount (as determined by the Company in its discretion, in kind, in cash, cash-like securities or other cash equivalents), equal to (A) the Pension Plan Transfer Amount minus (B) the Initial Company Transfer Amount (such difference, as adjusted to reflect earnings or losses as described below, the “Company True-Up Amount); provided, that, in the event the Company True-Up Amount is negative, the Company shall not be required to cause any such additional transfer and instead Acquiror shall be required to cause a transfer of cash, cash-like securities or other cash equivalents (or, if determined by Acquiror in its discretion, Assets in kind) from the Acquiror Pension Plan to the Company Pension Plan in amount equal to the absolute value of the Company True-Up Amount. The Parties acknowledge that the Company Pension Plan’s transfer of the Company True-Up Amount to the Acquiror Pension Plan shall be in full settlement and satisfaction of the obligations of the Company to cause the transfer of, and the Company Pension Plan to transfer, Assets to the Acquiror Pension Plan pursuant to this Section 6.5(b)(v). The Company True-Up Amount shall be paid from the Company Pension Plan to the Acquiror Pension Plan, as determined by the Company in its discretion in kind, in cash, cash-like securities or other cash equivalents, and shall be adjusted to reflect earnings or losses during the period from the Closing Date to the Final Company Transfer Date. Such earnings or losses shall be determined based on the actual rate of return of the Company Pension Plan (as determined by the Company Actuary) for the period commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs and ending on the last day of the calendar month ending immediately prior to the Final Company Transfer Date. Earnings or losses for the period from such last day of the month to the Final Company Transfer Date shall be based on the actual rate of return of the Company Pension Plan during the last calendar month ending immediately prior to the Final Company Transfer Date determined as of the date that is as close as administratively practicable to the Final Company Transfer Date. In the event that Acquiror is obligated to cause the Acquiror Pension Plan to reimburse the Company Pension Plan pursuant to this Section 6.5(b)(v), such reimbursement shall be performed in accordance with the same principles set forth herein with respect to the payment of the Company True-Up Amount. The Parties acknowledge that the Acquiror Pension Plan’s transfer of such reimbursement amount to the Company Pension Plan shall be in full settlement and satisfaction of the obligations of Acquiror to cause the transfer of, and the Acquiror Pension Plan to transfer, Assets to the Company Pension Plan pursuant to this Section 6.5(b)(v).

(c) Continuation of Elections. As of the Closing Date, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Acquiror shall cause the Acquiror Pension Plan to recognize and maintain all existing elections, including beneficiary designations, payment form elections and rights of alternate payees under qualified domestic relations orders with respect to Business Pension Participants under the Company Pension Plan; provided, that, nothing in this Section 6.5(c) shall prohibit Acquiror from soliciting or causing the solicitation of new elections from Business Pension Participants to be effective under the Acquiror Pension Plan.

SECTION 6.6 401(k) Plan.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, the Acquiror shall, or shall have caused one of its Affiliates to, establish or maintain a defined contribution savings plan and related trust intended to satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code (such defined contribution savings plan or plans, the “Acquiror 401(k) Plan). Acquiror shall be responsible for taking all necessary, reasonable, and appropriate action to establish, maintain and administer the Acquiror 401(k) Plan so that it is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, that it satisfies the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code and that the related trust thereunder is exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code, and as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date Acquiror shall take all steps reasonably necessary to obtain a favorable determination from the IRS as to such qualification if one is not then applicable to the Acquiror 401(k) Plan. Acquiror shall be responsible for any and all Liabilities (including Liability for funding) and other obligations with respect to the Acquiror Plan.

(b) Effective as of the Closing Date, the Company shall cause the Del Monte Corporation Saver Plan and the Del Monte Corporation Savings Plan (the “Company 401(k) Plans”), to the maximum extent permissible under the terms of the Company 401(k) Plans then in effect, to treat Transferred Employees who participated in the Company 401(k) Plans immediately before the Closing Date as having a separation from employment entitling them to a distribution under the Company 401(k) Plans. To the extent any such Transferred Employee shall request a distribution in the form of a direct rollover (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) to the Acquiror 401(k) Plan within one (1) year following the Closing Date, Acquiror shall cause the Acquiror 401(k) Plan to accept such direct rollover and, to the extent any such Transferred Employee shall request a distribution in the form of such a direct rollover to the Acquiror 401(k) Plan within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Acquiror shall cause the Acquiror 401(k) Plan to accept in-kind any plan loan then not in default.

SECTION 6.7 Post-Retirement Health and Welfare Benefits; COBRA Coverage.

(a) Acquiror will adopt or amend a plan under which it will assume all Liabilities for any post-employment or other retiree medical benefits that any Business Employees and Former Business Employees (and their dependents) are eligible to receive pursuant to any applicable Company Plan (the “Post-Termination Welfare Plans) arising after the Closing Date, and Acquiror or one of its Affiliates shall be fully responsible for the administration of all such claims under such Post-Termination Welfare Plans. Each Company Plan providing OPEB and COBRA benefits prior to the Closing Date shall continue to process claims for Business and Former Business Employees (and their dependents) incurred on and prior to the Closing Date in the manner contemplated by Section 6.2(c), and the Acquiror shall reimburse the Company for the net after-tax cost of any such benefits which the Company self-

insures. Within a reasonable time prior to the Closing, the Company will provide to the Acquiror, and the Company and the Acquiror shall agree on, a list of all Former Business Employees who are actively receiving benefits under, or who are eligible to receive benefits under, any Post-Termination Welfare Plan, as of the Closing Date.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (a) above, the Acquiror shall be responsible for providing, and shall assume all Liabilities in respect of, continuation coverage under Section 4980B of the Code and Part 6 of Title I of ERISA and the regulations thereunder (together “COBRA”) or any relevant benefit continuation requirements under applicable Laws, for all Business Employees and Former Business Employees with respect to any “qualifying event” (within the meaning of COBRA) incurred on or prior to the Closing Date or otherwise arising as a result of the transactions described herein. Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company will provide to the Acquiror a list of all Former Business Employees who either (i) were terminated within the ninety (90) days immediately preceding the Closing, or (ii) receiving COBRA continuation coverage on the Closing Date.

SECTION 6.8 Multiemployer Plans. The Company and Acquiror intend to comply with the requirements of Section 4204 of ERISA in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not be deemed a complete or partial withdrawal of the Company from any Company Plan that is a “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA (a “Multiemployer Plan”). Accordingly, the Company and Acquiror agree:

(a) After the Closing Date, Acquiror shall contribute to each Multiemployer Plan with respect to the operations of the Business for substantially the same number of “contribution base units” for which the Company had an “obligation to contribute” to such Multiemployer Plan (as those terms are defined in Sections 4001(a)(11) and 4212 of ERISA, respectively) pursuant to the Collective Bargaining Agreements.

(b) Acquiror shall provide to each Multiemployer Plan, for a period of five (5) consecutive plan years commencing with the first (1st) plan year beginning after the Closing Date, either a bond issued by a surety company that is an acceptable surety for purposes of Section 412 of ERISA or an amount held in escrow by a bank or similar financial institution satisfactory to each such Multiemployer Plan. The amount of such bond or escrow deposit shall be equal to the greater of (A) the average annual contribution that the Company was required to make to such Multiemployer Plan with respect to the operations of the Business for the three (3) plan years immediately preceding the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, and (B) the annual contribution that the Company was required to make to such Multiemployer Plan with respect to the operations of the Business for the last plan year immediately preceding the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(c) If Acquiror completely or partially withdraws from the Multiemployer Plan prior to the end of the fifth (5th) plan year beginning after the Closing Date, and the resulting liability of Acquiror with respect to the Multiemployer Plan is not paid, then the Company shall be secondarily liable in an amount not to exceed the amount of withdrawal liability the Company would have had to pay to the Multiemployer Plan as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if the Acquiror and the Company had not complied with Section 4204 of ERISA. Acquiror shall indemnify the Company against any liability incurred by the Company pursuant to this clause (c).

SECTION 6.9 Workers’ Compensation Liabilities. Effective as of the Closing Date, Acquiror or one of its Affiliates shall assume all Liabilities (other than any Liabilities related to medical or other similar services performed, or compensation in respect of lost work for periods, prior to the Closing Date) for Business Employees and Former Business Employees related to any and all workers’ compensation claims and coverage, whether arising under any law of any state, territory, or possession of the U.S. or the District of Columbia and whether arising before, on or after the Closing Date, and Acquiror or one of its Affiliates shall be fully responsible for the administration of all such claims. If Acquiror or one of its Affiliates is unable to assume any such Liability or the administration of any such claim because of the operation of applicable state law or for any other reason, the Company shall retain such Liabilities and Acquiror shall reimburse and otherwise fully indemnify the Company for all such Liabilities, including the costs of administering the plans, programs or arrangements under which any such Liabilities have accrued or otherwise arisen.

SECTION 6.10 Payroll and Related Taxes. With respect to the portion of the tax year occurring prior to the day immediately following the Closing Date, the Company will (i) be responsible for all payroll obligations, tax withholding and reporting obligations and (ii) furnish a Form W-2 or similar earnings statement to all Business Employees for such period. With respect to the remaining portion of such tax year, Acquiror or one of its Affiliates will (i) be responsible for all payroll obligations, tax withholding, and reporting obligations regarding Transferred Employees and (ii) furnish a Form W-2 or similar earnings statement to all Transferred Employees. With respect to each Transferred Employee, the Company and Acquiror shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to (to the extent permitted by applicable Law and practicable) (a) treat Acquiror (or its applicable Affiliate) as a “successor employer” and the Company (or its applicable Affiliate) as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, to the extent appropriate, for purposes of Taxes imposed under the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act, as amended, or the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act, as amended, and (b) file tax returns, exchange wage payment information, and report wage payments made by the respective predecessor and successor employer on separate IRS Forms W-2 or similar earnings statements to each such Transferred Employee for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, in a manner provided in Section 4.02(l) of Revenue Procedure 2004-53.

SECTION 6.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Article VI are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former employee, director or independent contractor or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Company Plan or other employee benefit plan for any purpose. Nothing in this Article VI shall be construed to (i) limit the right of the Company, the Acquiror or any of their respective Affiliates to amend or terminate any Company Plan, Transferred Entity Plan, Acquiror Benefit Arrangement or any other employee benefit plan, to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan, or (ii) require the Acquiror or any of its Affiliates to retain the employment of any particular Transferred Employee for any fixed period of time following the Closing Date.

ARTICLE VII

TAX MATTERS

SECTION 7.1 Tax Matters.

(a) Allocation of Taxes. In the case of any taxable period starting on or before and ending after the Closing Date (the “Straddle Period”), the amount of Taxes allocable to the portion of the taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be: (i) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of Taxes not described in (i) above, the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(b) Allocation of Purchase Price. The Acquiror and the Company agree that the Purchase Price will first be allocated between the Transferred Entities and the Transferred Assets. The Acquiror and the Company agree that the Purchase Price for the Transferred Assets shall be allocated among the Transferred Assets in accordance with the rules under Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Acquiror shall prepare an initial allocation and deliver such allocation to the Company for review and consent within ten (10) days after the determination of the Final Working Capital. Such allocation shall be mutually agreed upon between the Acquiror and the Company. The Acquiror and the Company agree to act in accordance with the computations and allocations as determined pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) in any relevant Tax Returns or filings, including any forms or reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or any provisions of local, state and foreign law, and to cooperate in the preparation of any such forms and to file such forms in the manner required by applicable law. Any issues with respect to the allocation which have not been finally resolved within ninety (90) days following the determination of the Final Working Capital shall be referred to the Independent Accounting Firm to be resolved in accordance with the procedures in Section 2.10(c). To the extent the Purchase Price is adjusted under this Agreement, adjustments will be made to the allocation to reflect such adjustments.

(i) Acquiror shall indemnify the Company against any Taxes attributable to the Company’s income under Section 951 of the Code for the taxable year of the Closing to the extent such income exceeds the amount of income under Section 951 of the Code that would have been recognized by the Company had the taxable year of the Transferred Entities ended immediately after the Closing.

(ii) After the Closing, Acquiror shall provide to the Company the information reasonably requested by the Company that is necessary for the Company to determine its pro rata share of income under Section 951 of the Code for any taxable year of the Transferred Entities or their Subsidiaries for which the Company has a U.S. federal income tax reporting obligation.

(iii) The Acquiror shall not make or permit to be made an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to any of the Transferred Entities.

(d) Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns of the Transferred Entities.

(i) The Company shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, and shall pay (or cause to be paid) all Taxes shown as due on, (i) all Tax Returns with respect to the Transferred Entities due on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) all Tax Returns with respect to the Transferred Entities for Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date.

(ii) As set forth in Section 7.1(d)(iii), the Acquiror shall cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by any of the Transferred Entities relating to any taxable period not described in Section 7.1(d)(i).

(iii) For any Tax Return for which the Company may be liable to indemnify the Acquiror pursuant to this Agreement that is not prepared by the Company under Section 7.1(d)(i), (A) such Tax Return shall be prepared in accordance with past practice of the Company except to the extent, if any, that there is no reasonable basis for such practice or such practice is contrary to Law, (B) the Acquiror shall deliver any such Tax Return to the Company at least thirty (30) days before it is due, including extensions, (C) the Company shall have the right to examine and comment on any such Tax Return prior to the filing of such Tax Return, and such Tax Return shall not be filed without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (D) the Company shall provide such written consent or deliver a notice of objection with respect to such Tax Return no later than ten (10) days before such Tax Return is due and (E) the Acquiror shall incorporate reasonable comments of the Company.

(e) In the event that the Company and the Acquiror are unable to resolve any dispute within ten (10) days of the receipt by the Acquiror of a notice of objection from the Company, the Company and the Acquiror shall jointly cause the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved on or before the applicable filing date of the Tax Return, the Acquiror may file such Tax Return; provided, however, that if the Independent Accounting Firm subsequently makes a determination that is inconsistent with such Tax Return filed by the Acquiror, as part of the resolution of the dispute by the Independent Accounting Firm, an amended Tax Return shall be agreed to by the parties consistent with the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm, and the Acquiror shall file such amended Tax Return agreed to by the parties. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by the Company and the Acquiror.

(f) Information and Cooperation. Each of the Acquiror and the Company shall, and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) provide, or cause to be provided, the other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by the other party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, any audit or other examination by any taxing authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes with respect to the Transferred Assets, the Transferred Entities, or the Business, (ii) retain and provide the requesting party with any records or information which may be relevant to such return, audit or examination, proceedings or determination until the date that is six (6) years after the Closing Date, and abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing authority, and (iii) give to the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if such other party so requests, the party will allow the other party to take possession of such books and records. Any information obtained pursuant to this Section 7.1(f) or pursuant to any other section hereof providing for the sharing of information or review of any Tax Return or other schedule relating to Taxes shall be kept confidential by the parties hereto.

(g)

(i) If a claim shall be made by any Tax Authority, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to an indemnified party pursuant to this Agreement, then such indemnified party shall give notice to the indemnifying party in writing of such claim and of any counterclaim the indemnified party proposes to assert; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(ii) With respect to any claim by a Tax Authority with respect to a taxable period of any Transferred Entity or any of its Subsidiaries, or with respect to the Business or Transferred Assets, ending on or before the Closing Date, the Company shall control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Authority claim (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may in its sole discretion pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any taxing authority with respect thereto, and may, in its sole discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund where applicable law permits such refund suits or contest such Tax Authority claim in any permissible manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not settle such claim by a Tax Authority without the prior written consent of Acquiror, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and Acquiror, and counsel of its own choosing, shall have the right to participate fully in all aspects of the prosecution or defense of such claim by a Tax Authority if it reasonably determines that such Tax Authority claim could have a material adverse impact on the Taxes of the Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries in a taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date.

(iii) The Company and Acquiror shall jointly control and participate in all proceedings taken in connection with any Tax Authority claim relating to Taxes of any Transferred Entity or any of its Subsidiaries, or with respect to the Business or Transferred Assets, for a Straddle Period, and shall bear their own respective costs and expenses. Neither the Company nor Acquiror shall settle any such Tax Authority claim without the prior written consent of the other.

(h) The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of any Transferred Entity or any of its Subsidiaries, or with respect to the Business or Transferred Assets, for any taxable period ending before the Closing Date, shall be for the account of the Company. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of any Transferred Entity or any of its Subsidiaries, or with respect to the Business or Transferred Assets, for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Acquiror. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of any Transferred Entity or any of its Subsidiaries, or with respect to the Business or Transferred Assets, for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between the Company and Acquiror. Each party shall forward, and shall cause its Affiliates to forward, to the party entitled to receive the amount or economic benefit of a refund, credit or offset to Tax the amount of such refund, or the economic benefit of such credit or offset to Tax, within ten (10) days after such refund is received or after such credit or offset is allowed or applied against another Tax liability, as the case may be.

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and the Acquiror;

(b) by the Company, if the Acquiror shall have breached any representation or warranty or failed to comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to the Acquiror that would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 not to be satisfied, and such condition is incapable of being satisfied or cured by the End Date; provided, however, that the Company is not then in material breach of this Agreement;

(e) by either the Company or the Acquiror in the event of the issuance of a final, nonappealable Governmental Order restraining or prohibiting the sale of the Transferred Assets or the Stock Transfer.

SECTION 9.2 Notice of Termination. Any party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other party or parties, as the case may be, to this Agreement.

SECTION 10.3 Notification of Claims.

(a) A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim, demand or circumstance that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim, demand or circumstance; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article X except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure, it being understood that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 11.1 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.3, with respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim and, in the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense and control of such claim, it shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The party that shall control the defense of any such Third Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence after consultation with the other party and shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim. The Company or the Acquiror, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, cooperate fully with the Controlling Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement, (ii) not encumber any of the material assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any restriction or condition that would apply to or materially adversely affect any Indemnified Party or the conduct of any Indemnified Party’s business and (iii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete release of any Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third Party Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense, such Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

SECTION 10.4 Additional Indemnification Provisions. With respect to each indemnification obligation all Losses shall be net of any third-party insurance proceeds that have been recovered or are recoverable by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification.

SECTION 10.6 Limitation on Liability. In no event shall any party have any liability to the other (including under this Article X) for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages, lost profits or similar items (including loss of revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to a breach or alleged breach hereof).

SECTION 11.4 Public Announcements. No party to this Agreement or Representative of such party shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or public announcement or otherwise communicate with any news media in respect of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by Law or stock exchange rules, in which case the party required to publish such press release or public announcement shall allow

the other party a reasonable opportunity to comment on such press release or public announcement in advance of such publication, to the extent practicable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the Financing the Acquiror may publish the Required Financial Information in filings, reports or registration statements it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SECTION 11.5 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or as a matter of 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 contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 11.6 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the Company, on the one hand, and the Acquiror, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter of the Transaction Agreements and supersede all prior agreements, undertakings and understandings, both written and oral, other than the Confidentiality Agreement, between or on behalf of the Company, on the one hand, and the Acquiror, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter of the Transaction Agreements. The Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate upon the Closing.

SECTION 11.7 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of each of the other parties, except that the Acquiror may assign all or any of its rights and obligations hereunder to any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve the Acquiror of its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article X with respect to the Company Indemnified Parties and the Acquiror Indemnified Parties, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements, including Article VI hereto, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including any union or any employee or former employee of the Company or the Business, or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Financing Sources (and their respective Affiliates) shall be express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 11.8 and Section 9.3, Section 11.9, Section 11.12, Section 11.16 and Section 11.19, and each of such Sections shall expressly inure to the benefit of the Financing Sources (and their respective Affiliates) and the Financing Sources (and their respective Affiliates) shall be entitled to rely on and enforce the provisions of such Sections.

SECTION 11.9 Amendment. (a) No provision of this Agreement, including any Exhibits or Disclosure Schedules hereto, may be amended, supplemented or modified except by a written instrument making specific reference hereto or thereto signed by all the parties to such agreement. No consent from any Acquiror Indemnified Party or any Company Indemnified Party under Article X (other than the parties to this Agreement) shall be required in order to amend this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Section 11.9 and Section 9.3, Section 11.8, Section 11.12, Section 11.16 and Section 11.19 (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provision would modify the substance of such Sections) and the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” may not be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources.

SECTION 11.10 Disclosure Schedule. Any disclosure with respect to any Section of the Disclosure Schedule, shall be deemed to be disclosed for other Sections of the Disclosure Schedule to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably sufficient so that the relevance of such disclosure would be reasonably apparent to a reader of such disclosure. Matters reflected in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be so reflected. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule. Without limiting the foregoing, no such reference to or disclosure of a possible breach or violation of any Contract, Law or Governmental Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. If at any time after the date hereof, either party discovers any asset, property, lease, right, interest, Contract or claim that (i) qualifies as a “Transferred Asset” but was inadvertently omitted from any schedule listing “Transferred Asset” items, and/or (ii) does not qualify as a “Transferred Asset” but was inadvertently included on any schedule listing “Transferred Asset” items, it shall notify the other party, and the parties shall promptly amend the applicable schedules and do all other acts necessary to effectuate and validate the parties’ respective ownership of and rights in such item, to be deemed effective as of the Closing Date.

SECTION 11.11 Specific Performance; Jurisdiction. The parties agree that, irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

In addition, each of the parties hereto
