(a)    Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Seller Representative an unaudited statement (the “Post-Closing Adjustments Statement”), which shall set forth Purchaser’s good faith calculation of (i) Closing Estimated Revenue (the “Final Estimated Revenue”), the Reduction Amount and the OMAM Capital Contribution Reduction Amount, (ii) Excess Cash (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.05, the “Final Excess Cash”) and (iii) the amount of any Sellers’ Transaction Expenses and Closing Indebtedness that were not included in the Estimated Sellers’ Transaction Expenses and Closing Indebtedness Statement (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.05, the “Unpaid Expenses”).

25









(b)    Each calculation of the Final Estimated Revenue, Final Excess Cash and Unpaid Expenses is referred to herein as a “Calculation.” Purchaser shall bear the costs and expenses of preparing each Calculation. Each Calculation shall be accompanied by such supporting schedules, data and work papers as reasonably necessary to support the Calculation. In connection with the preparation and review of any Calculation, each of the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the other party such additional information regarding the Calculation as may be reasonably requested by such party.
(c)    The Company shall, upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours, afford Purchaser and its accountants and other authorized representatives access to its officers, employees, properties, offices, and other facilities, and to the contracts, books, records, documents, data and such other information as may reasonably be requested during normal business hours in connection with the preparation of the Post-Closing Adjustments Statement and each Calculation. After delivery of the Post-Closing Adjustments Statement, Purchaser shall afford the Seller Representative and its accountants and other authorized representatives access to its officers, employees, properties, offices, and other facilities, and to the contracts, books, records, documents, data and such other information as may reasonably be requested during normal business hours in connection with the review of the Post-Closing Adjustments Statement and each Calculation.
(d)    The Seller Representative shall have thirty (30) days after the day of receipt of the Post-Closing Adjustments Statement to notify Purchaser if it objects to any Calculation. Any such notice (the “Dispute Notice”) shall specify each item or amount in dispute (a “Disputed Item”), together with a reasonably detailed written explanation of the reasons for disagreement with each such Disputed Item and shall set forth the Seller Representative’s alternative calculation of the Calculation based on such objections. To the extent not set forth in the Dispute Notice, the Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed with the calculation of all other items and amounts contained in the Calculation. Any Disputed Item shall be resolved in the manner set forth in Section 2.05(f) hereof.
(e)    If either (1) the Seller Representative does not deliver to Purchaser a Dispute Notice pursuant to Section 2.05(d) within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of such Calculation or (2) the Seller Representative and Purchaser agree in writing that the Calculation is accurate, the Calculation shall be final and binding on all parties.
(f)    If the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall be unable in good faith to resolve any Disputed Item within forty-five (45) days after delivery of a Dispute Notice pursuant to Section 2.05(d), the Seller Representative, on the one hand and Purchaser, on the other, will jointly retain a Firm to resolve any remaining disagreements. If the Seller Representative and Purchaser are unable to agree on the choice of the Firm, the Firm will be a “Big Four” accounting firm (or successor thereof) selected by lot (after excluding any firm that is not independent from the parties hereto and their respective Affiliates). In the event that all “Big Four” accounting firms are excluded, the Firm will be a Designated Firm (or successor thereof) selected by lot excluding any firm that is not independent from the parties hereto and their respective Affiliates. The Firm or Designated Firm, as the case may be, shall be instructed that its determination must be made in accordance with the standards and definitions in this

26









Agreement. Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall instruct the Firm or Designated Firm, as the case may be, that in no event shall the Firm’s or Designated Firm’s, as the case may be, determination of the Disputed Items be for an amount that is outside the range of Purchaser’s and the Seller Representative’s proposals with respect to each Disputed Item. The Firm or Designated Firm, as the case may be, shall, within sixty (60) days following its selection, deliver to the Seller Representative and Purchaser a written report determining such Disputed Items (and only such Disputed Items), and its determinations will be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto for the purposes of any adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price or the OMAM Capital Contribution, absent manifest error. The Seller Representative and Purchaser shall cooperate with the Firm or Designated Firm, as the case may be, and make available their respective employees and any books and records in their respective possession that the Firm or Designated Firm, as the case may be, reasonably determines are necessary in making its determination. The fees and disbursements of the Firm of Designated Firm, as the case may be, shall be borne in inverse proportion to the aggregate amount of the Disputed Items for which each party prevails
2.06    Payment of Post-Closing Adjustments. Within ten (10) Business Days following the final determination of the Final Estimated Revenue, Final Excess Cash and the Unpaid Expenses, as applicable, the following payments shall be made:
(a)    The calculations of Reduction Amount and OMAM Capital Contribution Reduction Amount made pursuant to Section 2.04(a) shall be redone by substituting Final Estimated Revenue for the Sellers’ estimate of Closing Estimated Revenue (the “Substitute Calculations”).
(1)    If there was a reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and the OMAM Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and the Substitute Calculations results in a reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and OMAM Capital Contribution that is greater than the reduction at Closing calculated pursuant to Section 2.04(a), then the Sellers (other than Newco), in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and the OMAM Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 2.04(a) calculated using the Substitute Calculations and (ii) the sum of the reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and the OMAM Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 2.04(a) calculated at Closing using the Sellers’ estimate of the Closing Estimated Revenue.

27









(2)    If there was a reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and the OMAM Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and the Substitute Calculations results in a reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and the OMAM Capital Contribution that is less than the reductions calculated at Closing pursuant to Section 2.04(a) but still results in a reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and the OMAM Capital Contribution, then Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers (other than Newco), in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the reductions to the Aggregate Purchase Price and the OMAM Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 2.04(a) calculated at Closing using the Sellers’ estimate of the Closing Estimated Revenue and (ii) the sum of the reductions to the Aggregate Purchase Price and the OMAM Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 2.04(a) calculated using the Substitute Calculations.
(3)    If there was a reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and the OMAM Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and the Substitute Calculations results in there being no reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and the OMAM Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 2.04(a), then Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers (other than Newco), in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, an amount equal to the sum of the reductions to the Aggregate Purchase Price and the OMAM Capital Contribution calculated at Closing pursuant to Section 2.04(a).
(4)    If there was no reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and the OMAM Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and the Substitute Calculations results in there being a reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and the OMAM Capital Contribution, then the Sellers (other than Newco), in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, shall pay to Purchaser an amount calculated in accordance with Section 2.04(a) calculated using the Substitute Calculations.
(b)    The calculation made pursuant to Section 2.04(b) shall be redone by substituting Final Excess Cash for the Sellers’ estimate of Excess Cash included in the Estimated Excess Cash Statement.
(1)    If, as a result of such recalculation, the reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and OMAM Capital Contribution should have been greater than the reduction made pursuant to Section 2.04(b), then the Sellers (other than Newco), in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to 60% of the amount by which Final Excess Cash is less than the estimate of Excess Cash included in the Estimated Excess Cash Statement.
(2)    If, as a result of such recalculation, the reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and OMAM Capital Contribution should have been less than the reduction made pursuant to Section 2.04(b), then Purchaser shall pay to Sellers (other than Newco), in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, an amount equal to 60% of the amount by which the estimate of Estimated Excess Cash included in the Estimated Excess Cash Statement exceeds Final Excess Cash.

28









(3)    If, as a result of such recalculation, an increase to the Aggregate Purchase Price and OMAM Capital Contribution made pursuant to Section 2.04(b) should have been a reduction to the Aggregate Purchase Price and OMAM Capital Contribution, then Sellers (other than Newco), in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, shall pay to Purchaser the sum of (i) the amount of the increase in Aggregate Purchase Price and OMAM Capital Contribution made pursuant to Section 2.04(b) and (ii) 60% of the amount by which zero exceeds the Final Excess Cash.
(4)    If, as a result of such recalculation, the increase to the Aggregate Purchase Price and OMAM Capital Contribution should have been greater than the increase made pursuant to Section 2.04(b), then Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers (other than Newco), in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, an amount equal to 60% of the amount by which Final Excess Cash exceeds the estimate of Excess Cash included in the Estimated Excess Cash Statement.
(5)    If, as a result of such recalculation, the increase to the Aggregate Purchase Price and OMAM Capital Contribution should have been less than the increase made pursuant to Section 2.04(b), then Sellers (other than Newco), in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to 60% of the amount by which the estimate of Estimated Excess Cash included in the Estimated Excess Cash Statement exceeds Final Excess Cash.
(6)
    If, as a result of such recalculation, a reduction in the Aggregate Purchase Price and OMAM Capital Contribution made pursuant to Section 2.04(b) should have been an increase in the Aggregate Purchase Price and OMAM Capital Contribution, then Purchaser shall pay to Sellers (other than Newco), in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the reduction in the Aggregate Purchase Price and OMAM Capital Contribution made pursuant to Section 2.04(b), plus (ii) 60% of the amount by which Final Excess Cash exceeds zero.
(c)    If there are any Unpaid Expenses, then the Sellers (other than Newco), in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, shall pay such Unpaid Expenses to the Company and the Company shall thereafter pay such Unpaid Expenses directly to the Person(s) owed such amounts.
(d)    Any payments pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the receiving party. Each of the Sellers (other than Newco) shall be liable for his or her Pro Rata Portion of any payment to be made by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.06.

29









2.07    Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement any amount as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other provision of Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted by Purchaser such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser believes that any deduction or withholding is so required under applicable law, then the Purchaser shall give written notice to the applicable payee in respect of whom such deduction or withholding is required at least five (5) Business Days prior to such deduction or withholding (assuming in the case of any withholding required under Section 897 and Section 1445 of the Code, that the documentation required to be provided under Section 2.02(b)(6) has been timely and properly provided), and it shall provide the applicable payee a reasonable opportunity to provide any applicable certificates, forms or other documentation that would eliminate or reduce, and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with the applicable payee and take such steps as reasonably requested by the applicable payee to eliminate or reduce, the requirement to deduct or withhold Tax under applicable law.

Each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make or cause to be made, as promptly as practicable but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the date hereof and not later than any deadline required by Applicable Law, all filings required of each of them or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates under the HSR Act. Each of the Sellers, the Company and Purchaser shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other, in each case subject to Applicable Law or any rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority or Self-Regulatory Organization relating to the exchange of information, with respect to, all material written information submitted to any third party, any board of directors or other governing body of any Fund, any Governmental Authority or any Self-Regulatory Organization in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including the notice filing under the HSR Act.

4.08    Supplemental Disclosure. (1) The Sellers and the Company may, by written notice in accordance with this Agreement, update the Disclosure Schedule (such updates are referred to herein as “Supplemental Disclosures”) to update any matter which would constitute as of the Closing Date a breach of any representation and warranty contained herein. No such Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed to cure any breach of such representation or warranty or modify any representation or warranty or for any other purposes under this Agreement, and Purchaser shall continue to have all of its respective rights and remedies hereunder, in each case, other than with respect to supplements to Schedule 3.02(h)(1), Schedule 3.02(k)(5)(A), Schedule 3.02(k)(5)(F), Schedule 3.02(k)(6)(A), Schedule 3.02(k)(6)(D), Schedule 3.02(k)(6)(E) and Schedule 3.02(t)(1) solely for the purpose of supplementing such Schedules for matters arising after the date hereof that are required to be disclosed on such Schedules (it being acknowledged and agreed that the foregoing Schedules may not be amended or modified to disclose matters arising prior to the date hereof or to disclose any action that constitutes a breach of Section 4.01).
4.09    Tax Matters.
(a)    Purchase of Purchased Interests. The parties agree, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to treat the Company as terminated for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code and to treat the current tax year of the Company as ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the purchase of the Purchased Interests will be treated as the purchase and sale of an interest in a partnership governed by Section 741 of the Code.
(b)    Asset Allocation. For purposes of applying Sections 741, 743, 751, and 755 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, the respective fair market values of the assets of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing Date shall be determined in accordance with an asset allocation prepared by Purchaser (the “Asset Allocation”) within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date. The parties agree to work together and cooperate to develop, within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, a schedule of the Acquired Companies’ projected tax basis in their respective assets as of September 1, 2016 which will be subsequently adjusted as appropriate to reflect the adjusted tax basis in those assets as of the Closing Date and will be used in applying Section 743, 751 and 755 of the Code (the “Asset Allocation Schedule”). If, after such time period, either party objects to the Asset Allocation Schedule, then the parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. In the event that such dispute cannot be resolved by the parties within 30 days of such objection to the Asset Allocation Schedule, then such dispute shall be submitted to a “Big Four” accounting firm using the procedures set forth in

70









Section 2.05(f). The decision of such selected accounting firm shall be final and binding on the parties. The Asset Allocation shall be adjusted as necessary to take into account any purchase price adjustments, as determined for federal income tax purposes. Neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall take any action or position inconsistent with the Asset Allocation on any Tax Return or before any taxing authority, except as required in connection with a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.
(c)    Transfer Taxes. At the Closing or, if due thereafter, promptly when due, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp and other similar Taxes imposed as a result of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Interests (including the controlling interest transfer tax, if any, payable pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. Chapter 228b (§§12-368a-2-639 with respect to the Owned Real Property) shall be paid 50% by the Sellers and 50% by the Purchaser. The appropriate party as determined by the relevant taxing authority shall prepare any Tax Returns with respect to such Taxes, and the parties shall cooperate in good faith in the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns.
(d)    Preparation and Filing of Income Tax Returns. The Sellers shall, at the cost and expense of the Company, prepare and timely file all income Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for Tax Periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are required to be filed (taking into account extensions) on or after the Closing Date, including the Company’s federal and state income Tax Returns for the short taxable year that ends on the Closing Date. Sellers shall provide Purchaser with a draft of such Tax Returns (and such additional information regarding such Tax Returns as may reasonably be requested by the Purchaser) for review and comment at least 30 days prior to the due date of such Tax Returns. Purchaser and the Sellers shall use good faith efforts to resolve any disagreements regarding the preparation of any such Tax Returns.
(e)    Pre-Closing Tax Liability. The Sellers, severally in accordance with their respective Indemnity Percentages (and not jointly or jointly and severally), shall pay and shall indemnify the Purchaser from and against all Taxes of the Acquired Companies for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and all Taxes of the Acquired Companies attributable to the pre-Closing portion of a Straddle Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification obligation in this Section 4.09(e) are subject to the limitations and other terms and conditions applicable to the indemnification obligations of the Sellers set forth in Sections 6.03(d), (f), (g) and (h), 6.05, 6.06 and 6.11. Any income Taxes for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the pre-Closing and post-Closing portions of the Straddle Period based on the actual operations of the Acquired Companies during such portions of the Straddle Period (determined by closing the books as of the end of the Closing Date). For purposes of computing such income Taxes, the amount of any item that is not attributable to a transaction or event during the applicable portion of the Straddle Period (e.g., exemption amounts, etc.) shall be allocated between the two portions of the Straddle Period in proportion to the number of days in each portion. Any non-income Taxes for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the pre-Closing and post-Closing portions of the Straddle Period as follows: (i) real, personal and intangible property Taxes and any other ad valorem Taxes (“Per Diem Taxes”) shall be apportioned between the pre-Closing and post-Closing portions of the Straddle Period on a per diem basis based on the number of days during the Straddle Period ending with and including the Closing Date and the number of days during

71









the Straddle Period commencing on the day after the Closing Date, and (ii) such Taxes that are not Per Diem Taxes, including any transactional Taxes based on sales or revenue, shall be apportioned between the pre-Closing and post-Closing portions of the Straddle Period based on the actual operations of the Acquired Companies during such portions of the Straddle Period (determined by closing the books as of the end of the Closing Date).
(f)    Section 754 Election. The Sellers shall cause the Company and Landmark Realty to make or keep in effect the election under Section 754 of the Code (and under any analogous provisions of state, local or foreign Tax law applicable to the Company) for the taxable year of the Company in which the Closing Date occurs.
(g)    Cooperation; Tax Proceedings. Purchaser, the Sellers and the Acquired Companies shall cooperate in (i) the preparation of all Tax Returns for any Tax periods and (ii) the conduct of any Tax Proceeding, for which one party could reasonably require the assistance of the other party in obtaining any necessary information. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, furnishing such information within such party’s possession reasonably requested by the other party as is relevant to the preparation of the Tax Returns or the conduct of the Tax Proceeding. Additionally:
(1)    Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, shall, at the cost and expense of the Sellers, control any income Tax Proceeding with respect to an Acquired Company for any Tax Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date to the extent such proceeding relates to Taxes imposed on the members or partners of such Acquired Company. Seller Representative shall provide Purchaser with information and documents related to any such Tax Proceeding that Seller Representative controls, permit Purchaser or its representative, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to attend any such Tax Proceeding, and not settle any such Tax Proceeding without the consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

72









(2)    Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, may, at the cost and expense of the Company, control any Tax Proceeding with respect to Taxes imposed on the Acquired Companies for any Tax Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date. To the extent Seller Representative elects to control any such Tax Proceeding, Seller Representative shall provide Purchaser with information and documents related thereto that Seller Representative controls, permit Purchaser or its representative, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to attend any such Tax Proceeding, and not settle any such Tax Proceeding without the consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). To the extent Seller Representative does not elect to control any such Tax Proceeding, the Company shall provide the Sellers with information and documents related thereto that the Company controls, permit Sellers or their representative, at their sole cost and expense, to attend any such Tax Proceeding, and not settle any such Tax Proceeding without the consent of Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(3)    The Company shall control all other Tax Proceedings with respect to the Acquired Companies.
(h)    Prohibited Conduct. Without the Sellers’ prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Acquired Companies not to, (a) make any amendment of any Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies to the extent such Tax Return relates to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (b) make any election or otherwise take any action that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.
4.10    Further Assurances. Following the Closing, the parties shall cooperate with one another to prepare and file all documents and forms and amendments thereto as may be required by Applicable Law with respect to the transactions contemplated this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents.
4.11    Seller Representative.
(a)    Upon execution of this Agreement, each of the Sellers hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Timothy L. Haviland, and Timothy L. Haviland hereby accepts his appointment, as the Seller Representative and, in such capacity, as attorney in fact, agent and representative (with full power of substitution in the premises) for and on behalf of such Seller and his heirs, executors and permitted assigns with respect to claims for indemnification under ARTICLE VI and, in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the taking (or not taking) by the Seller Representative of, any and all actions and making (or not making) any and all decisions to be taken or made (or that are deemed advisable) in connection with any and all transactions arising from, relating to or incident to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise relating to or arising from this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (excluding the Employment Agreements), including the power and authority to:

(d)    Each of the Sellers, by executing this Agreement, hereby appoints and constitutes the Seller Representative as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Seller, with full power of substitution to act in such Seller’s name and on his, her or its behalf according to the terms of this Agreement in the Seller Representative’s discretion and in general to do (or refrain from doing) all things and to perform (or not perform) all acts including, executing and delivering in the name and on behalf of such Seller any other agreements, certificates, receipts, instructions, notices or instruments contemplated by or deemed advisable in connection with this Agreement. This power of attorney and all authority hereby conferred shall be irrevocable and

74









shall not be terminated by any act of any Seller, by operation of law, by a Seller’s death, disability, protective supervision or any other event. Without limiting the foregoing, this power of attorney is to ensure the performance of a special obligation and, accordingly, each Seller shall be deemed to have unconditionally and irrevocably waived and renounced his, her or its right to revoke or renounce this power of attorney at any time. Each Seller hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all defenses that otherwise may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the Seller Representative taken or not taken under this Agreement.

(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the Seller Representative’s discretion to pay indemnification amounts on behalf of individual Sellers pursuant to Section 4.11(b) above, the Seller Representative has no authority or responsibility to act on behalf of any Seller in connection with any claim, action or proceeding initiated by Purchaser directly against such Seller based on a breach by such Seller of such Seller’s individual representations, warranties or covenants hereunder.
(f)    The Sellers who in the aggregate represent a majority of the Indemnity Percentage of the Sellers shall have the right to remove the then-acting Seller Representative and to appoint a successor Seller Representative without obtaining the consent of any other of the Sellers; provided, however, that neither such removal of the then-acting Seller Representative nor such appointment of a successor Seller Representative shall revoke the removed Seller Representative’s right to indemnification for acts or omissions prior to such removal or affect any actions, decisions or documents previously taken, made or delivered by such removed Seller Representative (to the extent reasonably relied upon by Purchaser), nor shall such removal and appointment be effective until the delivery to Purchaser of executed counterparts of a writing signed by the Sellers effecting such removal and appointment, together with a written acknowledgment signed by the successor Seller Representative that he, she or it accepts the responsibility of successor Seller Representative and agrees to perform and be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Seller Representative. Each interim or successor Seller Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Seller Representative, and in such event the term “Seller Representative” as used herein shall be deemed to include such interim or successor Seller Representative.
(g)    The Seller Representative (in its capacity as such) shall not be liable to any Seller for any act of the Seller Representative arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, except to the extent any liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine, cost or expense is actually incurred by such person as a proximate result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Seller Representative. The Seller Representative (in its capacity as such) shall not be liable for, and shall be indemnified by the Sellers (on a several but not joint basis and limited to each Seller’s Indemnity Percentage) for any loss (collectively, the “Seller Representative Losses”) incurred by the Seller Representative in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement and the

75









Transaction Documents and the enforcement thereof, in each case as such Seller Representative Loss is incurred; provided that to the extent it is finally adjudicated that any such Seller Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Seller Representative, the Seller Representative will reimburse the Sellers the amount of such indemnified Seller Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. The costs of such indemnification (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this right of indemnification) shall be the responsibility of the Sellers and limited to each Seller’s Indemnity Percentage.
(h)    Purchaser and each other Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever, and without any duty of further inquiry) on the instructions, actions and decisions of the Seller Representative as to the determination of Final Estimated Revenue, Final Excess Cash, Sellers’ Transaction Expenses, Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Purchase Price, the Reduction Amount, the OMAM Capital Contribution and the OMAM Capital Contribution Reduction Amount, the settlement of any claims for Damages for which any Sellers may be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to this Agreement and any other actions taken or not taken by the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 4.11, and none of the parties shall have any cause of action against Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnitee for or in respect of (i) any action taken or not taken, decision made or instruction given by the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 4.11 or (ii) action taken or not taken by Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnitee in reliance upon the instructions or decisions (or lack thereof) of the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 4.11.

Following the date hereof, at the request of Purchaser, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to engage Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP to commence a review of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and the six-month period beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending on June 30, 2016 as required for Purchaser to comply with its disclosure obligations under the Securities Laws and stock exchange listing requirements applicable to Purchaser.

The fees and expenses of such tail policy (including brokerage fees and commissions) shall be borne by the Company (and, to the extent paid prior to Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse the Company for 100% of any such fees and expenses). Procurement of such “tail” policy will be coordinated, and placed through Purchaser’s insurance representatives and providers.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the maximum aggregate Damages payable by Purchaser (other than in the case of intentional common law fraud based on the express representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.04, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules) pursuant to Section 6.02(a) shall not exceed the Maximum Amount and (y) the maximum aggregate Damages payable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.02, other than in the case of intentional common law fraud based on the express representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.04, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules, shall not exceed the sum of the Aggregate Purchase Price plus the OMAM Capital Contribution.
(f)    The amount of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE VI shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party (as defined below) and its Affiliates from a third party (including any insurer) whether by way of payment, credit, off-set, counterclaim, indemnification, contribution or otherwise. Each party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to make any claims for insurance and/or indemnification, or contribution available from any third party(ies) with respect to any Damages for which it elects to seek indemnification hereunder and to diligently pursue such claims in good faith. Any reduction to the amount of Damages for which indemnification is sought under this ARTICLE VI by reason of any insurance recovery shall be net of the anticipated present value of future insurance premium increases, as determined after consultation by the Indemnified Party with the insurance carrier that paid such insurance proceeds. If any such insurance proceeds and/or other amounts are received by an Indemnified Party after the Indemnifying Party pays any amount pursuant to this ARTICLE VI, the Indemnified Party shall promptly repay to the Indemnifying Party the amount such Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this ARTICLE VI had such insurance proceeds and/or other amounts been received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates (including the Company) prior to such payment by the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE VI.

86









(g)    The Purchaser Indemnitees also shall not be entitled to indemnification for any Damages expressly reserved against in the Financial Statements or reflected or otherwise taken into account in the calculation of Final Excess Cash and Unpaid Expenses.
(h)    Any indemnification payments made pursuant to Section 4.09(e) and this ARTICLE VI shall be treated by all parties as an adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price for U.S. federal income and other applicable tax purposes.
6.04    Third Party Claims. In the event that any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee (such Person making a claim, the “Indemnified Party”) desires to make a claim against the Sellers, on the one hand, or Purchaser on the other hand, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), under this ARTICLE VI in connection with any action, claim, proceeding or demand at any time instituted against or made upon the Indemnified Party by any third party for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim and of the Indemnified Party’s claim of indemnification with respect thereto, provided, that failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of such notice to notify the Indemnified Party if the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled at its own expense to conduct and control the defense and settlement of such Third Party Claim through counsel of its own choosing; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel at its own expense, (ii) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, (iii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of laws or any violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Person, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages paid by the Indemnifying Party, and (iv) the Indemnified Party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent unless, and to the extent, that such claims is an indemnifiable claim under this ARTICLE VI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be entitled to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim if (i) the Indemnified Party shall have given the Indemnifying Party written notice that it has determined, based upon the advice of its counsel, that a bona fide conflict of interest makes separate representation by the Indemnified Party’s own counsel advisable; (ii) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or similar equitable relief; (iii) such Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation against an Indemnified Party or (iv) such Third Party Claim if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to result in Damages in excess of two times the Maximum Amount (it being understood and agreed that in any such case the Indemnifying Party may participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel at its own expense). If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt from the Indemnified Party of notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of

87









such Third Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not settle any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party from time to time for any and all amounts reasonably paid for or incurred by the Indemnified Party and for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated pursuant to this ARTICLE VI, upon submission by the Indemnified Party of a statement reflecting the basis upon which such amounts are sought and the computation of such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.04 shall not apply to the conduct of any Tax Proceeding, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 4.09(g).
6.05    Expiration of Representations and Warranties; Exclusive Remedy.
(a)    Other than in the case of intentional common law fraud based on the express representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 3.04, as applicable, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules, all representations and warranties and related indemnification obligations in respect of any breach thereof of the parties contained in this Agreement or in any Schedule hereto, or any certificate, document, or other instrument delivered in connection herewith, and all indemnification obligations under Sections 6.01(a)(4) and 6.01(a)(5), shall survive the Closing until the later of 18 months after the Closing Date and the delivery to the Company of audited financial statements, and a signed auditor’s report for such financial statements, for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, except that the Company Fundamental Representations, representations and warranties in Sections 3.02(o) and 3.02(q), representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in Section 3.03(a) – (b) and 3.03(e), the Purchaser Fundamental Representations and the indemnification obligations under Section 6.01(a)(3) shall survive the Closing Date until sixty (60) days after the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) of the basis for such claim and the nature of the breach (including a description of the estimated Damages incurred and the amount of such Damages (to the extent known)) and in writing by notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved. All covenants and agreements made by any party in this Agreement shall survive until performed or the obligation to so perform shall have expired.
(b)    Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that Section 6.05(a) is expressly intended to limit otherwise applicable statute of limitations under New York or any other Applicable Law, and hereby waives the statute of limitations under New York or any other Applicable Law to the extent such statute of limitations period exceeds the periods described in Section 6.05(a). Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that following the Closing, except as set forth in Section 8.11 and other than in the case of intentional common law fraud based on the express representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.02 and 3.03, as applicable, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules, its and the Purchaser Indemnitees’ sole remedy arising out of any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Company or any Seller under this Agreement or in the certificates delivered by the Company or the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, as the case may be, or any breach of a covenant of the Company (at or before the Closing) or any Seller under this Agreement, is to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 6.01

88









and that, except to the extent Purchaser asserts a claim for indemnification prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period described in Section 6.05(a) and other than in the case of intentional common law fraud based on the express representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.02 and 3.03, as applicable, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules, Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnitees shall have no remedy against any Seller for any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made in this Agreement. Each of the Sellers and the Company acknowledges and agrees that following the Closing, except as set forth in Section 8.11 and other than in the case of intentional common law fraud based on the express representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.04, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules, its and the Seller Indemnitees’ sole remedy arising out of any breach of a representation or warranty made by Purchaser under this Agreement or in the certificate delivered by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, as the case may be, or any breach of a covenant of Purchaser (or of the Company following the Closing) under this Agreement, is to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 6.02 and that, except to the extent the Seller Indemnitees assert a claim for indemnification prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period described in Section 6.05(a) and other than in the case of intentional common law fraud based on the express representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.04, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules, the Seller Indemnitees shall have no remedy against Purchaser for any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made in this Agreement. Each of the parties acknowledges that this Section 6.05 and the other limitations on liability set forth herein have been negotiated fully and at arm’s-length and that the parties would not have entered into this Agreement but for this Section 6.05 and the other limitations on liability set forth herein.
6.06    Procedure for Indemnification – Direct Claims. In the event of any claims for indemnification under this ARTICLE VI other than Third Party Claims, including any claim against any party to this Agreement (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall provide a written notification to the Indemnifying Party describing with reasonable specificity, to the extent known, the basis for such claim and the nature of the breach and a description of the Damages incurred and the amount of such Damages (if known).
6.07     Right to Offset; Interest on Unpaid Claims. If either the Indemnified Party and a Seller agree in writing, or there is a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, that an amount is owed by such Seller hereunder with respect to any claim under this ARTICLE VI, then, at the sole election of Purchaser, Purchaser may set-off such amount that is owed against any other amounts owed by Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) to such Seller (including pursuant to Section 2.06 of this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document).

89









6.08    Materiality Qualifiers. For purposes of this ARTICLE VI, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.02(g)(1) and (4) and the references to “Material Contracts” in Section 3.02(h)) shall be determined without giving effect (both for purposes of determining whether an inaccuracy or breach has occurred and the amount of Damages attributable thereto) to any Materiality Qualifier set forth therein.
6.09    Knowledge of Breach. The right of indemnification provided under this ARTICLE VI for breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the date hereof, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance or noncompliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.
6.10    Access; Mitigation. The Seller Representative shall have the right to inspect the assets and properties of the Acquired Companies and to inspect and make abstracts and copies of all books and records of the Acquired Companies relating to any claims for which indemnification may be sought hereunder against a Seller as the Seller Representative may, from time to time, reasonably request. Such inspection shall take place at mutually agreeable times during normal business hours, after reasonable notice to Purchaser and in a manner that does not unduly disrupt the Company’s normal business activities. Purchaser shall cause the Acquired Companies (or their successors) to furnish the Seller Representative with such information respecting the assets, business and financial records of the Acquired Companies (or their successors). The Seller Representative shall maintain in confidence and not disclose to anyone, or use for any purpose other than in connection with the duties of the Seller Representative under this Agreement, any such information that it receives from the Company or Purchaser; provided, however, that the Seller Representative may, in its discretion, provide such information to any Seller who may be obligated to make indemnification payments or reimbursements hereunder with respect to any applicable claim or related litigation so long as such Seller is bound by a similar confidentiality obligation. Each party hereto shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate its Damages for which indemnification may be claimed hereunder promptly following any event which would reasonably be expected to give rise to such Damages, it being understood and agreed that no party shall be under any obligation to take any steps pursuant to this Section 6.10 that would reasonably be expected to impose any material cost, result in the loss of any material benefit or otherwise adversely impair the business of the Company or such party in any material respect. To the extent any Indemnified Party has failed to take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate its Damages pursuant to this Section 6.10, then the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation shall be reduced by the portion of such Damages attributable to such failure.

90









6.11    Tax Benefits. Each indemnification payment otherwise required to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the excess, if any, of (i) any net Tax benefit actually realized or reasonably expected to be realized in the future by the Indemnified Party as a result of the Damages, over (ii) any net Tax detriment actually suffered or reasonably expected to be suffered in the future by the Indemnified Party as a result of the Damages or as a result of the receipt of any indemnification in respect of such Damages. Such net Tax benefit and net Tax detriment shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Indemnified Party and shall be disclose to the Indemnifying Party, but the Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation to disclose any Tax Return or associated workpapers of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates to the Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates.
ARTICLE VII.

(d)    by Purchaser if a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred;
(e)    by Purchaser if the Religare Agreement has been terminated;

91









(f)    by the Seller Representative, if Purchaser has breached any representation or warranty, or breached or failed to perform any covenant or agreement, contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform would give rise to a failure of the condition set forth in Section 5.02(a) or 5.02(b) and is not capable of being cured prior to the Closing or, if such breach is capable of being cured, is not so cured within twenty (20) days after written notice of such breach is delivered by the Seller Representative to Purchaser (and in any event prior to the Outside Date); provided that none of the Sellers or the Company has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement that would result in a failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under Section 5.03.

ARTICLE VIII.
    
Miscellaneous
8.01    Waiver; Amendment. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Purchaser, the Sellers and the Company, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

8.09    Entire Understanding. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and each document, certificate and instrument delivered pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof, and the Confidentiality Agreement represent the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all other oral or written agreements heretofore made.
8.10    Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or entity or any circumstance, is found by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefore in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons, entities or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability, of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
8.11    Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that if any of the agreements or covenants of this Agreement were not to be performed as required by their specific terms or were to be otherwise breached, irreparable damage will occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that such parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches, and to specific performance of the agreements and covenants of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
8.12    No Additional Representations; Disclaimer.
(a)    Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Acquired Companies, and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation and verification and the representations and warranties of the Acquired Companies and the Sellers expressly and specifically set forth in Sections 3.02 and 3.03, respectively, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules, and the covenants and agreements of the Acquired Companies and the Sellers, respectively, expressly set forth in this Agreement. The representations and warranties of the Acquired Companies and the Sellers expressly and specifically set forth in Sections 3.02 and 3.03, respectively, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules, constitute the sole and exclusive representations, warranties and statements of any kind of any of the Acquired Companies and the Sellers in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and Purchaser expressly disclaims reliance upon any other representations, warranties and statements of any kind or nature, expressed or implied (including any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of the Acquired Companies, the quality, quantity or condition of the Acquired Companies assets). PURCHASER HEREBY COVENANTS AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES AND THE SELLERS,

95









RESPECTIVELY, SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 3.02 AND 3.03, RESPECTIVELY, AS QUALIFIED BY THE DISCLOSURE SCHEDULES, NONE OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES, SELLERS OR ANY OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING ANY STOCKHOLDER, EQUITYHOLDER, MANAGER, MEMBER, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER IN ANY INDIVIDUAL, CORPORATE OR ANY OTHER CAPACITY) HAS MADE OR IS MAKING, AND PURCHASER HAS NOT RELIED ON AND IS NOT RELYING ON, ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AS TO ANY MATTER CONCERNING THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED TO (OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED BY) PURCHASER OR ANY OF PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIVES.
(b)    In connection with the investigation by Purchaser of the Acquired Companies, Purchaser has received or may receive certain projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information of the Acquired Companies. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties, that Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the completeness, adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans). Accordingly, Purchaser acknowledges, covenants and agrees that none of the Acquired Companies, the Sellers, or any past, present or future direct or indirect stockholder, equityholder, controlling Person, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Acquired Companies and/or Sellers, any of their respective Affiliates, or the heirs, executors, administrators, estates, successors and assigns of the foregoing make or have made any representation or warranty with respect to, and Purchaser has not relied and is not relying on, any such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans).
8.13    Representation of Sellers and their Affiliates. Purchaser covenants and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies from and after the Closing), that, following the Closing, Ropes & Gray LLP may serve as counsel to Sellers and their Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding any representation of the Acquired Companies by Ropes & Gray LLP prior to the Closing. Purchaser, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies from and after the Closing), hereby irrevocably: (a) waives any claim any of them have or may have that Ropes & Gray LLP has or will have a conflict of interest or is or will be otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (b) agrees that, in the event that a dispute (including litigation) arises after the Closing between Purchaser or its Affiliates

96









(including the Acquired Companies) on the one hand, and Sellers or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, Ropes & Gray LLP may represent Sellers or any of their Affiliates in such dispute, even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) and even though Ropes & Gray LLP may have represented the Acquired Companies in a matter substantially related to such dispute. Purchaser, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies from and after the Closing), also further covenants and agrees that, as to all communications between Ropes & Gray LLP and any of the Acquired Companies, Sellers or Sellers’ Affiliates and representatives, that relate primarily to the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs and shall belong to Sellers and shall be controlled by Sellers and will not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies from and after the Closing). In addition, from and after the Closing, all of the client files and records of or in the possession of Ropes & Gray LLP related to the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will continue to be property of (and be controlled by) Sellers, and none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies from and after the Closing) will retain any copies of such records or have or seek any access to them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that after the Closing a dispute arises between Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies from and after the Closing) and a party other than Sellers (or any Affiliate of Sellers), then Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies from and after the Closing) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Ropes & Gray LLP to such third party; provided, however, that Purchaser and any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies from and after the Closing) may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (which may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in the sole discretion of the Seller Representative).
8.14    Parties in Interest. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs and personal representatives. Except for the rights and remedies of the Purchaser Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees set forth in ARTICLE VI, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their successors, permitted assigns, heirs and personal representatives.
