The “Closing Date” shall be the date on which the Closing is consummated.

No later than two Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “Estimates Statement”) setting forth, in reasonable detail and with reasonable supporting documentation, Seller’s good faith estimate of the Purchase Price (the “Estimated Purchase Price”) using for purposes of calculation of such estimate the Enterprise Value and Seller’s good faith estimates of (i) the amount of Closing Date Indebtedness, (ii) the amount of Unpaid Seller Expenses, (iii) the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents and (iv) the Net Working Capital Adjustment (which may be a negative number). Buyer shall have the opportunity to review and provide any comments to the Estimates Statement, which comments shall be considered in good faith by Seller in revising the Estimates Statement and the corresponding Estimated Purchase Price. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Estimated Purchase Price (as so revised) as follows:

(i) An amount shall be paid to or on behalf of Seller (to one or more accounts designated by Seller) equal to the Estimated Purchase Price; and

(ii) With respect to the Unpaid Seller Expenses, an amount of such Unpaid Seller Expenses reflected in an invoice delivered by Seller to Buyer shall be paid to each applicable payee thereof in accordance with the wire instructions provided by Seller to Buyer prior to Closing in connection with each such invoice; and

(iii) With respect to the Closing Date Indebtedness described on Schedule 2.3(a)(iii), an amount of such Closing Date Indebtedness specified in a payoff letter shall be paid to each applicable creditor thereof in accordance with the wire instructions provided by Seller to Buyer prior to Closing in connection with each such payoff letter.

(b) Determination of Final Purchase Price.

(i) As soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller Buyer’s proposed good faith written calculations, in reasonable detail and with reasonable supporting documentation, of (A) the Net Working Capital, (B) the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents, (C) the amount of Closing Date Indebtedness, (D) the amount of Unpaid Seller Expenses and (E) the Purchase Price (each of the calculations referenced in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E), a “Proposed Closing Date Calculation” and, collectively, the “Proposed Closing Date Calculations”). In connection with Buyer’s preparation of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, at Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide information that is under its control necessary to such calculation (and not otherwise reasonably available to Buyer) within a reasonable time following Buyer’s request. If Buyer fails to timely deliver any of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations in accordance with the foregoing, then, at the election of Seller in its sole discretion, either (i) the Actual Adjustment shall be deemed to equal zero or (ii) Seller shall retain (at the expense of Buyer) the dispute resolution group of Grant Thornton LLP, or if Grant Thornton LLP refuses such submission, the dispute resolution group of a nationally-recognized, independent accounting firm agreed upon by Buyer and Seller (such accounting firm, the “Accounting Firm”), to provide an audit of the Company’s books, review the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price and make any adjustments necessary thereto consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3(b), the determination of the Accounting Firm being conclusive and binding on the Parties; provided, however, that Seller reserves any and all other rights granted to it in this Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Group Companies to, make any relevant books and records available to the Accounting Firm in connection with its services and all fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by Buyer.

(A) If Seller does not give written notice of any dispute that sets forth the specific amounts of its specific objections to the Proposed Closing Date Calculations and a description, in reasonable detail, of its rationale for each such specific objection (a “Purchase Price Dispute Notice”) to Buyer within 45 days of receiving the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, Buyer and Seller agree that the Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to be the final Net Working Capital, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Date Indebtedness, Unpaid Seller Expenses and Purchase Price, in each case, for purposes of determining the Actual Adjustment; provided, however, that in the event that Buyer does not provide any materials reasonably requested by Seller (including any of the Group Companies’ books and records or the working papers of Buyer’s accountants prepared in connection with preparation of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations) within three Business Days of request therefor (or such shorter period as may remain in such 45-day period), such 45-day period shall be extended by one day

for each additional day required for Buyer to respond fully to such request. Prior to the end of such 45-day period (or such longer period as may be extended in accordance with this paragraph), Seller may accept the Proposed Closing Date Calculations by delivering written notice to that effect to Buyer, in which case the Purchase Price will be finally determined when such notice is given. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller may provide a Purchase Price Dispute Notice on the basis that it has not been provided with adequate information to understand and evaluate the differences between the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, on the one hand, and Buyer’s calculation of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations (and components thereof including the Net Working Capital (and the related Net Working Capital Adjustment, if any), the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents, the amount of Closing Date Indebtedness and/or the amount of Unpaid Seller Expenses), on the other hand. If Seller delivers a Purchase Price Dispute Notice to Buyer within such 45-day period, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute during the 30-day period commencing on the date Buyer receives the Purchase Price Dispute Notice from Seller. Any item set forth in the Proposed Closing Date Calculations and not objected to in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice shall be final and binding on the Parties. If Seller and Buyer do not agree upon a final resolution with respect to any disputed items within such 30-day period, then the remaining items in dispute shall be submitted immediately to the Accounting Firm, the determination of the Accounting Firm being conclusive and binding on the Parties and shall not be subject to court review or otherwise appealable. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed, and Buyer and Seller shall (and Buyer shall cause the Group Companies, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm, to render a determination (acting as an arbitrator and not as an expert) of the applicable dispute within 45 days after referral of the matter to such Accounting Firm, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. In a potential dispute resolution procedure pursuant to this Section 2.3(b), all prior discussions related thereto shall, unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Buyer, be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and neither Party may discuss, use or rely upon the other Party’s conduct or statements during such dispute resolution or in any communication with the Accounting Firm.

(B) Within 15 days after the engagement of the Accounting Firm, Seller and Buyer shall present their respective positions with respect to the items set forth in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice in the form of a written report, a copy of which shall be delivered to the other Party, and no ex parte conferences, oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or other form of evidence gathering or hearings shall be conducted or allowed; provided, however, that at the Accounting Firm’s request, or as mutually agreed by Seller and Buyer, Seller and Buyer may meet with the Accounting Firm so long as representatives of both Seller and Buyer are present. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be instructed to be based solely on the written reports submitted to the Accounting Firm by Seller and Buyer and oral submissions by Seller and Buyer at meetings held in compliance with the prior sentence (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions and other terms included herein; provided, however, that in resolving a disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item or less than the smallest value for such item, in each case, claimed by Buyer or Seller in the written reports presented to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm’s decision with respect to the matters in dispute shall be final and binding on the Parties, and any Party may seek to enforce such decision in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(C) The terms of appointment and engagement of the Accounting Firm shall be as agreed upon between Seller and Buyer, and any associated engagement fees shall be initially borne 50% by Seller and 50% by Buyer; provided, however, that such fees shall ultimately be borne as set forth below. All other costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Party incurring such cost and expense. The fees and disbursements of the Accounting Firm shall ultimately be allocated between Seller and Buyer in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted to the Accounting Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted. Such determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. The Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(i)(A) and, as so revised, such Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to set forth the final Net Working Capital, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Date Indebtedness, Unpaid Seller Expenses and Purchase Price, in each case, for all purposes hereunder (including the determination of the Actual Adjustment).

(ii) The Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, make their financial records and other books and records that are relevant to the preparation of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations available to the other Parties and its accountants and other representatives (and either Party and its accountants and other representatives, at their own expense, shall be permitted to make copies as they see reasonably necessary) at reasonable times during the review by Seller of, and the resolution of any objections with respect to, the Proposed Closing Date Calculations. At the reasonable request of Seller, the Company shall permit employees who are involved in the preparation of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations to assist Seller in its review of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations (but not to assist with any objections or disputes with respect thereto).

(i) If the Actual Adjustment is a positive amount, then within three Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller an aggregate amount equal to such positive amount by wire transfer or delivery of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller.

(ii) If the Actual Adjustment is a negative amount, then within three Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3, Seller will pay to Buyer an amount equal to the absolute value of such negative amount by wire transfer or delivery of immediately available funds to an account specified by Buyer.

(iii) Any amounts which become payable pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) will constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes.

(d) Accounting Principles. The Estimated Purchase Price, Proposed Closing Date Calculations, the Actual Adjustment and the determinations and calculations contained therein shall be prepared and calculated on a consolidated basis for the Group Companies in accordance with the Accounting Principles except that such statements, calculations and determinations shall: (i) not include any purchase accounting or other adjustment arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) be based on facts and circumstances as they exist at Closing in accordance with GAAP.

Section 2.4 Allocation. Pursuant to Section 6.11(a), the Parties have agreed to the Section 338(h)(10) Election and that Buyer shall be permitted to make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to Carlisle Mexico (the “338(g) Election”) as further described in Section 6.11(a) and, in connection with such elections, the Parties further agree that (a) the Purchase Price, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and as increased by capitalized costs and assumed liabilities of the Group Companies, shall be allocated for income Tax purposes among the assets of the Company (including the shares of capital stock of S.J. Holdings, Inc. and the equity interests in Carlisle Mexico held by the Company), and (b) within 60 days after the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(b), Seller shall deliver to Buyer a statement reflecting the allocation of the Purchase Price (and the capitalized costs and assumed liabilities of the Group Companies) among the assets of the Company (including the shares of capital stock of S.J. Holdings, Inc. and the equity interests in Carlisle Mexico held by the Company) in a manner that is consistent with the allocation methodology provided by Section 338 of the Code and as set forth on Schedule 2.4 (the “Allocation”). Buyer shall have the right to review and comment on the Allocation, and Seller shall consider such changes to the Allocation as are reasonably requested by Buyer in writing. If Buyer and Seller are able to agree on the Allocation, then Buyer and Seller will jointly file IRS Form 8883 and applicable state forms with the applicable Tax Return for the year of this transaction reflecting the Allocation, and neither Buyer nor Seller shall take any position (whether in Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law. If Buyer and Seller cannot agree on the Allocation within 30 days after Seller delivers the Allocation to Buyer (or such longer period as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree in writing), then Buyer and Seller shall be permitted to file their respective IRS Forms 8883 and applicable state forms as they each determine to be correct. In the event that the Purchase Price is adjusted (as provided herein or otherwise), any such adjustment will be allocated among the assets of the Company (including the shares of capital stock of S.J. Holdings, Inc. and the equity interests in Carlisle Mexico held by the Company) in a manner consistent with the Allocation as either agreed or, if not agreed by Buyer and Seller, then as determined to be correct by each Party.

Section 2.5 Withholding. Buyer and the Company will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement (including payments of the Purchase Price) such amounts as Buyer or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) shall determine in good faith they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Laws; provided, however, that prior to making any such deduction or withholding on any amount to be paid to Seller, shall provide Seller with notice of its intent to make such deduction or withholding at least two (2) Business

Days prior to payment and shall work in good faith to avoid (or minimize) the need to make such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by Buyer or the Company, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.

None of the Financing Commitments has been amended or modified prior to the date of this Agreement and, as of the date of this Agreement, no such amendment or modification is contemplated (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, amendments or joinders to the Debt Financing Commitments solely to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities as parties thereto who had not executed the Debt Financing Commitments as of the date hereof), and as of the date of this Agreement the respective commitments contained in the Financing Commitments have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect.

(b) Except for fee letters (complete copies of which have been provided to Seller; provided, however, that any such fee letter may redacted as to economic and “flex” terms, none of which would reduce the amount of the Debt Financing to be funded on the Closing Date or adversely affect the conditionality or availability of the Debt Financing contemplated thereby on the Closing Date), as of the date hereof there are no side letters or contracts to which Buyer is a party that impose conditions, affect the availability of or modify, amend or expand the conditions to the funding of the Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitments delivered to Seller prior to the date hereof. Buyer has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Financing

Commitments that are payable on or prior to the date hereof, and Buyer will, directly or indirectly, continue to pay in full any such amounts required to be paid as and when they become due and payable on or prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that any payment due and payable on the Closing Date may be funded contemporaneously with the Closing and subject to the satisfaction of the other funding conditions in respect of the Financing on the Closing Date. As of the date hereof, the Financing Commitments are in full force and effect with respect to, and are the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of, Buyer and, to the knowledge of Buyer, each of the other parties thereto. As of the date hereof, there are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitments delivered to Seller prior to the date hereof. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to (i) constitute a default or breach on the part of Buyer, (ii) constitute a failure to satisfy a condition precedent on the part of Buyer or, (iii) to the knowledge of Buyer, result in any portion of the Financing Commitments being unavailable on the Closing Date, assuming the conditions to the Financing are satisfied and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 and Article 4 such that the condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) is satisfied. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 and Article 4 such that the condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) is satisfied, the performance by Seller and the Company of their respective obligations under this Agreement and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, Buyer has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments applicable to it will not be satisfied on the Closing Date. Assuming the conditions in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 are satisfied and the Financing is funded in accordance with the Financing Commitments (including any “flex” provision), Buyer will have on the Closing Date funds sufficient to (i) pay the aggregate Estimated Purchase Price and the other payments under Article 2 and (ii) pay any and all fees and expenses required to be paid by Buyer and its Affiliates due and payable on the Closing Date in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Financing. Buyer affirms that it is not a condition to the Closing or any of its other obligations under this Agreement that Buyer obtains the Financing or any other financing for or related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.7 Limited Guaranty. Buyer has delivered to Seller a true and correct copy of the Limited Guaranty. The Limited Guaranty is in full force and effect. The Limited Guaranty is (a) a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer Guarantor and (b) enforceable in accordance with its terms against Buyer Guarantor, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no default under the Limited Guaranty by Buyer Guarantor, and no event has occurred that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default thereunder by Buyer Guarantor.

Section 5.8 Acquisition of Shares for Investment. Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its purchase of the Shares. Buyer confirms that it can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares and can afford to lose its entire investment in the Shares. Buyer is acquiring the Shares for investment and not with a view toward or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, or with any present intention of distributing or selling such Shares. Buyer agrees that the Shares may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale or otherwise disposed of without compliance with applicable United States prospectus and registration requirements, except pursuant to an exemption therefrom under applicable United States securities Laws.

Section 5.9 Solvency. Assuming the representations and warranties of the Company and Seller contained in this Agreement are true in all material respects, at and immediately after the Closing, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Group Companies (on a consolidated basis) (a) will be solvent (in that both the fair value of its assets will not be less than the sum of its debts (including all debts, whether or not reflected in a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, and whether direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, secured or unsecured, disputed or undisputed) and that the present fair saleable value of its assets will not be less than the amount required to pay its probable liability on its debts as they become absolute and matured, (b) will have adequate capital in relation to their business as contemplated on the Closing Date, and (c) will not have incurred, and will not immediately incur, nor do they believe that they will immediately incur, debts, including current obligations, beyond their ability to pay such debts as and when they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise). As used in this Section 5.9, liabilities that are contingent have been computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing as of the Closing Date, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

All of such information shall be treated as confidential information pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the provisions of which are by this reference hereby incorporated herein and Buyer agrees that it shall be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement to the same extent as Sponsor; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement (and all provisions and obligations thereunder, including any provision or obligation which by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement survives the termination thereof) shall terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the Closing (without any action required by any Person).

Section 6.3 Efforts to Consummate.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the satisfaction of the Closing conditions set forth in Article 7).

(b) In the event any Action by any Governmental Entity or other Person is commenced which challenges the validity or legality of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeks damages in connection therewith, the Parties agree to cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to defend against such Action and, if an injunction or other Order is issued by a Governmental Entity in any such Action, Buyer agrees to take any and all actions that are necessary to have such injunction or other Order lifted, in order to expeditiously consummate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Parties of any communication it or its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Entity relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permit the other Parties to review in advance any proposed communication by it to any Governmental Entity.

Each Party will provide the other Parties with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between it or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) The Parties may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other under this Section 6.3 as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such

materials.

(b) Promptly following the date hereof, with respect to any Person that has executed or otherwise become bound by a confidentiality agreement with Seller, any Group Company or any of their respective Affiliates at any time during the 12-month period preceding the date hereof (other than Buyer and/or its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, financing sources, attorneys, accountants and other agents) in connection with the consideration of a potential acquisition (whether by merger or otherwise) of (i) Seller or any Group Company (or any capital stock of any thereof), (ii) all or any material portion of the business or assets of Seller or any Group Company, or (iii) any similar transaction involving Seller or any Group Company, Seller and/or the applicable Group Company shall request that such Person (and its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, financing sources, attorneys, accountants and other agents) promptly return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person (and its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, financing sources, attorneys, accountants and other agents), by or on behalf of any of Seller, a Group Company or any of their respective Affiliates in accordance with the terms of such Person’s confidentiality agreement.

During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Buyer hereby agrees that it is not authorized to and shall not (and shall not permit any of its directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives or Affiliates to) contact any employee, customer, supplier, distributor or other material business relation of Seller or any Group Company, regarding their

business with the Group Companies (other than in connection with general industry research without reference to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written (including by e-mail) consent of Seller.

Section 6.6 Necessary Consents. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Seller and each Group Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents identified on Schedule 6.6; provided, however, that none of the Group Companies shall agree, without Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion): (a) to pay any amounts, (b) to commence or defend any litigation, (c) to agree to any limitation on the operation or conduct of their or any of their respective businesses or (d) to waive any of the conditions set forth in Article 7 of this Agreement.

Section 6.7 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) For six (6) years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall not permit any Group Company to amend, repeal or otherwise modify the indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions contained in a Group Company’s Governing Documents or a Contract to which a Group Company is a party in any manner that, with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing, would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing Date or at any time prior to the Closing Date, were directors, managers, officers, employees or agents of the Group Companies, unless such amendment, repeal or modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) The directors, managers, officers, employees and agents of the Group Companies entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 6.7 are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7. This Section 6.7 shall survive the consummation of the Closing and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Buyer and Seller.

Section 6.8 Documents and Information; Cooperation.

(a) After the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Group Companies and any of their Subsidiaries to, until the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to retain all books, records and other documents pertaining to the business of the Group Companies in existence prior to the Closing and make the same available for inspection and copying by Seller (at Seller’s expense), in each case, for reasonable business purposes, during normal business hours of the Group Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, as applicable, upon reasonable request and upon reasonable notice.

(b) Following the Closing, in connection with the defense of any Action affecting any Group Company (including the Specified Matter) to the extent such defense relates to events occurring prior to the Closing, Buyer shall, at the reasonable request of Seller, and Seller shall, at the reasonable request of Buyer or the Company, reasonably cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the party that controls the defense of such Action (in such capacity, collectively with its Affiliates, the “Defending Party”); provided, however, that such

cooperation and assistance shall only be required in connection with the defense of any Action with respect to which the Defending Party has, without limitation of Section 6.14, acknowledged its responsibility in writing (including pursuant to Section 6.18 or Section 6.19). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such reasonable cooperation and reasonable assistance of Buyer or Seller, as applicable (in such capacity, collectively with its Affiliates, the “Assisting Party”) shall include, at the request of the Defending Party: (i) making employees of the Assisting Party with knowledge of relevant facts pertaining to the applicable Action (“Covered Employees”) reasonably available to the Defending Party for the limited purpose of allowing the Defending Party to establish such facts, and, subject to legal privileges, the Assisting Party shall not unreasonably refuse to provide the Defending Party with any information or other data that is in the Assisting Party’s control and that is reasonably requested by the Defending Party in its defense of such Action, (ii) subject to legal privileges, not unreasonably refusing to produce copies of all documents relating to the applicable Action that are within the possession, custody or control of the Assisting Party reasonably promptly upon a request for such production by the Defending Party; and (iii) upon reasonable advance notice from the Defending Party, instructing the Covered Employees to (A) appear for hearings, depositions and/or at trial related to the applicable Action and (B) meet with representatives of the Defending Party and/or its counsel to assist in preparation for such depositions and/or trials; provided, that such appearances and meetings do not, individually or in the aggregate, unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Business. Any interview, meeting or other communication shall be subject to the attorney-client privilege, joint defense privilege, common-interest privilege and/or any other applicable privilege, which may be waived only with mutual consent of the Defending Party and the Assisting Party. The Defending Party shall pay or reimburse the Assisting Party for all reasonable and documented third party costs and expenses incurred by the Assisting Party and the Covered Employees, which payment or reimbursement shall be made by the Defending Party promptly following the Defending Party’s receipt of the documentation supporting such costs and expenses; provided, that this Section 6.8(b) shall not apply to any dispute or other Action between an Assisting Party, on the one hand, and a Defending Party, on the other hand.

(c) Buyer or its applicable Affiliate will provide claims administration on behalf of, and at no cost to the Group Companies with respect to all Retained Workers’ Compensation Claims; provided, however, that Buyer (or any Affiliate) shall not settle any such claims without prior authorization from an authorized officer or other person on behalf of Seller in accordance with such written procedures as may be delivered by Seller to Buyer from time to time.

Section 6.9 Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending no earlier than the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide employees of the Group Companies who continue to be employed by the Group Companies with not less than the same base salary or hourly wage rate as provided to such employees immediately prior to the Closing Date and with employee benefits and other compensation (excluding equity arrangements and any benefits or compensation provided under any defined benefit plan or non-qualified deferred compensation plan) that are substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided under the Employee Benefit Plans and Foreign Employee Benefit Plans as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, except as otherwise

provided in Section 6.9(b) for Inactive Employees. Buyer further agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall and shall cause the Group Companies to grant all of their employees credit for any service with the Group Companies or any of their predecessors earned prior to the Closing Date for eligibility and vesting and, for severance and vacation benefit determinations only, benefit accrual purposes under any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement that may be established or maintained by Buyer or the Group Companies or any of their Affiliates on or after the Closing Date (the “New Plans”). In addition, Buyer shall (A) cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively at work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plans to the extent waived or satisfied by an employee under any Employee Benefit Plan or Foreign Employee Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date and (B) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any deductible, co-insurance and covered out-of-pocket expenses paid on or before the Closing Date by any employee (or covered dependent thereof) of the Group Companies to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the corresponding deductible, coinsurance and maximum out of pocket provisions after the Closing Date under any applicable New Plan in the year of initial participation. Seller shall, and shall cause its third party administrators to, cooperate in all matters reasonably necessary to effect the crediting of such amounts paid by any employee (or covered dependent thereof) on or before the Closing Date.

(b) All U.S. employees of the Group Companies who are not actively employed as of the Closing Date (including those on long-term or short-term disability leave, leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act or unpaid personal leave) (the “Inactive Employees”) shall continue to be covered by the applicable Employee Benefit Plans, subject to the terms and conditions of such Employee Benefit Plans, unless and until such Inactive Employee returns to active employment within six months following the Closing Date, or as otherwise provided for under the applicable Employee Benefit Plans. As of an Inactive Employee’s date of return to active employment, Buyer shall cause applicable Group Company to continue the employment of any Inactive Employee that returns to active employment within six months of the Closing Date and, beginning on such date of return, shall be responsible for all liabilities that arise with respect to such returning Inactive Employees on or after his or her return to employment with the Group Companies. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies from and after the Closing) shall assume any liability for any Inactive Employees that do not return to active employment within six months following the Closing Date.

(c) Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Group Companies from and after the Closing) shall be solely responsible for satisfying the continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code for all individuals who are “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9.

(d) As soon as practicable after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, cooperate with Seller and its applicable Affiliates to implement a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer of the account balances of all employees of the Group Companies (except for Inactive Employees) participating in Seller’s Employee Incentive Savings Plan as described in Schedule A to the Transition Services Agreement.

(e) Following the Closing, Buyer shall make, or cause the applicable Group Company to make, the Specified Group Company Employee Incentive Payments in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule P-2.

(a) Buyer and Seller intend that the purchase contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a “qualified stock purchase” within the meaning of Section 338(d) of the Code. Buyer and Seller shall make a joint election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and corresponding elections under applicable state or local Tax Law or non-U.S. Tax law, if any) with respect to the sale of the Shares (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”), and Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in the completion and timely filing of the Section 338(h)(10) Election in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 (or any comparable provisions of state or local Tax Law or non-U.S. Tax law, if any) or any successor provision. Buyer shall prepare IRS Form 8023 (“Form 8023”) (other than sections that relate to information regarding Seller and Persons in Seller’s control) and provide Form 8023 to Seller for Seller’s completion and execution. Seller shall deliver to Buyer at Closing a duly executed Form 8023 electing to treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a qualified stock purchase under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and either Party shall take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to facilitate the Section 338(h)(10) Election, including joining in filing any comparable forms or other documents with respect to any state, local or non-U.S. Tax elections.

Buyer shall have the right to make the 338(g) Election, and Seller and Buyer agree that in accordance with Section 6.19(b), Seller will not be liable for any Taxes imposed on it or Carlisle Mexico to the extent resulting from the 338(g) Election (the “338(g) Taxes”).

(b) Seller shall prepare and file or otherwise furnish in proper form to the appropriate Governmental Entity (or cause to be prepared and filed or so furnished) in a timely manner all consolidated, combined, and unitary Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion thereof) that include any Group Company as a member of any Affiliated Group that also includes Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than a Group Company) that is the parent of such Affiliated Group for such Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion thereof) (“Seller Income Tax Returns”). Neither Buyer nor the Group Companies shall have any liability with respect to any Seller Income Tax Returns. All Seller Income Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice and without a change of any election or any accounting method of any applicable Group Company, unless otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law. Seller shall not amend any Seller Income Tax Returns of a Group Company without the prior written consent of Buyer if such amendment would reasonably be expected to increase the Tax liability of Buyer.

Buyer shall also prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns (including any information Tax Returns with respect to any income Tax) for any Straddle Period; provided, however, that all such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice unless otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, all Transaction Tax Deductions shall be treated as arising on or before the Closing Date.

(f) Seller shall be entitled to any refund, credit or similar benefit (including any interest paid or credited by a Governmental Entity with respect thereto) of Taxes paid by any Group Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period, in each case, net of (x) any Taxes (including any Taxes that would be imposed on a distribution of any portion of such refund to Buyer) and (y) any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that Buyer or any Group Company incurs with respect to such refund (and related interest). Nothing in this Section 6.11(f) shall require that Buyer make any payment with respect to any refund for a Tax (and such refunds shall be for the benefit of Buyer and the Group Companies) that is with respect to (A) any refund of Tax paid by Buyer or the Group Companies after the Closing Date to the extent Seller has not borne (directly or indirectly) the economic burden for such Tax by inclusion of such Tax in the Net Working Capital, or the determination of Closing Date Indebtedness, in each case, as finally determined; (B) any refund for Tax that is reflected as a current asset (or offset to a current liability) on the Net Working Capital, or included in the determination of Closing Date Indebtedness, in each case, as finally determined; or (C) any refund for Tax that gives rise to a payment obligation by any Group Company to any Person under applicable Law or pursuant to a provision of a contract entered (or assumed) by any Group Company on or prior to the Closing Date. Any such amounts payable to Seller pursuant to this Section 6.11(f) shall be paid to Seller (and any material correspondence related thereto shall be provided), within ten days after receipt or entitlement thereto. Upon the request of Seller, Buyer shall take commercially reasonable actions to cause the Company to file for, obtain, and expedite the receipt of, any refund, credit, or similar benefit to which Seller is entitled under this Section 6.11(f). To the extent that a refund of Tax under this Section 6.11(f) is lost, disallowed, or reduced, Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of such lost, disallowed, or reduced refund of Tax within ten days of such loss, disallowance, or reduction. Nothing in this Section 6.11(f) shall require that Buyer make any payment with respect to any refund for a Tax (and such refunds shall be for the benefit of Buyer and the Group Companies) that is with respect to any refund of Tax paid by Buyer or the Group Companies after the Closing Date to the extent Seller has not borne (directly or indirectly) the economic burden for such Tax.

(g) Buyer, the Group Companies and Seller shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with the filing of any Tax Return, in any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes and in allowing Seller to review Tax Returns of the Group Companies for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods to determine or verify the proper amounts payable as refunds hereunder. Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. Buyer will, and

will cause the Group Companies to, retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Group Companies and which relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (and, if notified in writing by another Party, any extensions thereof) and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Entity. Buyer, the Group Companies and Seller agree to give each other and their respective representatives reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records. Seller, Buyer and the Group Companies further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax authority or any other Person or take any other action as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed on any Party (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and to provide any information necessary or reasonably requested to allow Buyer and the Group Companies to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Laws or to compute the amount of payroll or other employment Taxes due with respect to any payment made in connection with this Agreement.

(h) Prior to or at the Closing, Seller shall deliver a certificate, in form and substance that complies with Section 1.1445-2(b), stating that Seller is not a foreign person within the meaning of Section 1445 of the Code; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, delivery of such certificate shall not be a condition to Closing and Buyer’s sole right if Seller fails to provide such certificate shall be to make an appropriate withholding under Sections 897 and 1445 of the Code.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, gross or net sales, payments or receipts, or payroll of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(j) Any and all existing Tax Sharing Agreements (other than Contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that is not primarily related to Taxes but which include a Tax Sharing Agreement (such as paying real estate Taxes in leases or grossing up for withholding Taxes in a credit agreement)) between any Group Company and any member of a Seller Affiliated Group shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and none of the Group Companies, Seller or any Affiliate of Seller shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

Section 6.13 Buyer Financing.

(a) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or advisable to arrange and consummate the Financing on the terms and conditions described in or contemplated by the Financing Commitments (including complying with any request exercising so-called “flex” provisions contained therein), including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Commitments (as such terms and conditions may be modified or adjusted in accordance with the terms thereof and within the limits of the “flex” provisions therein) until the Closing; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Buyer may amend, replace, supplement or modify the Debt Financing Commitments solely to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities as parties thereto who had not executed the Debt Financing Commitments as of the date hereof, and (B) Buyer may amend, supplement or modify the Debt Financing Commitments in accordance with the “flex” provisions contained therein or amend, replace, supplement, modify or waive any provision under the Debt Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing if such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver does not (x) decrease the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing to an amount that would be less than an amount that would be required to consummate the purchase of the Shares on the Closing Date and make the other payments required to be made by Buyer or any of its Affiliates hereunder on the Closing Date, in each case, that is not otherwise compensated for by an increase in the Equity Financing, (y) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing in a manner that would (I) reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing, (II) make the timely funding of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing) less likely to occur or (III) materially and adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Financing Commitments or the ability of Buyer, the Company or Seller to enforce its rights against the Buyer Guarantor under the Equity Financing Commitment, (ii) satisfy (or obtain waivers to) on a timely basis all conditions to funding in the Debt Financing Commitments and such definitive agreements to be entered into pursuant thereto (including by consummating the Equity Financing substantially concurrently therewith), (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on terms and conditions described in the Debt Financing Commitments (subject to the exercise of any “flex” provisions contained therein) on or prior to the Closing Date and (iv) enforce its rights under the Debt Financing Commitments. To the extent requested by Seller from time to time, Buyer shall keep Seller informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing (or Alternative Financing).

(b) In the event any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any “flex” provisions) contemplated in the Debt Financing Commitments for any reason other than due to the breach by the Company or Seller of any of its respective representations, warranties or covenants contained herein or as a result of the failure of a condition contained herein to be satisfied by the Company or Seller, as applicable, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing and use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources on terms not materially less favorable taken as a whole (as determined in the reasonable discretion of Buyer) to Buyer than those contained in the Debt Financing Commitments in an amount, when added with Buyer’s existing cash on hand and

the Equity Financing Commitment, sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event (the “Alternative Financing”); provided, however, that such Alternative Financing shall not (i) involve any conditions to funding the Debt Financing that are not contained in the Debt Financing Commitments or (ii) reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing (A) if Buyer becomes aware of the existence of any material breach, material default, repudiation, cancellation or termination by any party to the Financing Commitments, (B) of the receipt by Buyer of any written notice or other written communication from any lender or other provider of Debt Financing with respect to any actual repudiation, cancellation or termination by any party to the Financing Commitments or (C) Buyer reasonably expects that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Commitments or the definitive documents related to the Financing (as such terms and conditions may be modified or adjusted in accordance with the terms thereof and within the limits of the “flex” provisions therein or on other terms no less favorable, in the aggregate, to Buyer and its Affiliates, in each case subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.13(a)). As soon as reasonably practicable, Buyer shall provide any information reasonably requested by Seller relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the immediately preceding sentence. Buyer and Buyer Guarantor shall not (without the prior written consent of Seller) consent or agree to any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification to, or any waiver of any provision under, the Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing if such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver (w) decreases the aggregate amount of the Financing to an amount that would be less than an amount that would be required to consummate the purchase of the Shares and make the other payments required to be made by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies after the Closing Date) hereunder on the Closing Date, in each case, that is not otherwise compensated for by an increase in another Financing or (x) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing in a manner that (i) would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing, (ii) make the timely funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing) less likely to occur or (iii) materially and adversely impacts the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Commitments. Upon request, Buyer shall furnish to Seller a copy of any amendment, modification, waiver or consent of or relating to the Financing Commitments promptly upon execution thereof (provided, however, that any fee letter may be redacted as to economic and “flex” terms, none of which would reduce the amount of the Debt Financing to be funded on the Closing Date or adversely affect the conditionality or availability of the Debt Financing contemplated thereby on the Closing Date). Upon any amendment, supplement or modification of the Financing Commitments and made in compliance with this Section 6.13(b) (excluding any amendment for the sole purpose of joining or adding additional commitment parties thereto), Buyer shall provide a copy thereof to Seller (provided, however, that any fee letter may be redacted as to economic and “flex” terms, none of which would reduce the amount of the Debt Financing to be funded on the Closing Date or adversely affect the conditionality or availability of the Debt Financing contemplated thereby on the Closing Date) and the term “Financing Commitments” as used herein shall mean the Financing Commitments as so amended, replaced, supplemented or

modified, including any Alternative Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, compliance by Buyer with this Section 6.13(b) shall not relieve Buyer of its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whether or not the Financing is available, and Buyer acknowledges that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are not contingent on Buyer’s ability to obtain the financing (or any Alternative Financing) or any specific term with respect to such financing.

(c) Prior to the Closing, Seller will, and will cause the Company, Seller’s other Affiliates and their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees, accountants, counsel, advisors and other representatives to, use each of their reasonable best efforts to provide to Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, all reasonable cooperation reasonably requested by Buyer that is necessary and customary in accordance with the terms of the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing obtained in accordance with Section 6.13(b)), including (i) participating, upon reasonable advance notice, in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations and rating agency presentations, and participating in reasonable and customary due diligence, in each case with or by the Debt Financing Sources (or prospective lenders or investors in any Debt Financing), (ii) furnishing Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources, as promptly as reasonably practicable, with the Required Information, (iii) assisting Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources in the preparation of (A) customary syndication documents and materials (including assistance in creating usual and customary “public versions” of the foregoing), including confidential information memoranda, lender presentations, rating agency presentations, business and financial projections and similar documents and materials, in connection with any Debt Financing (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Syndication Documents”), including providing the business description to be contained therein, and providing customary authorization and representation letters with respect thereto, and (B) materials for any Syndication Documents, including business projections and financial statements (including assisting Buyer in preparing pro forma financial statements; provided, however, that neither Seller nor the Company shall be responsible in any manner for any pro forma adjustments relating to proposed debt and equity capitalization that is required to be made to the historical information for such pro forma financial information) and identifying any portion thereof as containing material, non-public information, (iv) reasonably cooperating with the marketing and syndication efforts of Buyer and any Debt Financing Sources for any portion of any Debt Financing, including cooperation in connection with the obtainment of ratings, (v) executing and delivering as of (but not before) the Closing Date definitive financing documents, including credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, guarantee agreements, pledge and security documents, and certificates or other documents (including a customary solvency certificate executed by the chief financial officer of the Company), to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer and otherwise facilitating the providing of guarantees with respect to and the granting or perfection of collateral to secure any Debt Financing, including delivery of certificates representing equity interests constituting collateral, intellectual property filings with respect to intellectual property constituting collateral and mortgages with respect to owned real property constituting collateral and obtaining releases of existing Liens, provided, however, that the effectiveness of any definitive documentation executed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be subject to the consummation of the Closing, (vi) furnishing Buyer and any Debt Financing Sources promptly, and in any event at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, with all documentation and other information that any Debt Financing Source reasonably determines is required by regulatory authorities with respect to any Debt Financing

under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, as amended, in each case, to the extent that such documentation and information has been reasonably requested in writing at least ten days prior to the Closing Date, and (vii) taking all organizational actions, subject to and only effective upon the occurrence of the Closing, reasonably requested by Buyer to permit the consummation of any Debt Financing and to permit the proceeds thereof to be made available at the Closing. The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the marketing of the Debt Financing; provided, however, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, and is not reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its or their respective marks, products, services, offerings or intellectual property rights. Seller and the Company will, upon reasonable written request of Buyer, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to promptly supplement any Required Information (to the extent it is available) to be included in any Syndication Document to assist Buyer in ensuring that such Required Information, when taken as a whole, is correct in all material respects and does not contain as of the time provided, any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer shall be permitted to disclose information received from Seller, the Company, Seller’s other Affiliates and their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees, accountants, counsel, advisors and other representatives to the Debt Financing Sources (including prospective Debt Financing Sources) and rating agencies during syndication of the Debt Financing subject to entering into customary confidentiality undertakings with respect to such information.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing in this Section 6.13 shall require such cooperation to the extent it would unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Group Companies and their Affiliates, (ii) no Group Company nor any Affiliate thereof shall be required to pay any commitment or other fee or incur any other liability or obligation in connection with the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments or be required to take any action for which it would not be indemnified hereunder, to bear any cost or expense or to pay any commitment or other similar fee or make any other payment or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the foregoing prior to the Closing, (iii) no Group Company will be required to take any action that may conflict with or violate its respective Governing Documents or any Laws or foreign laws or result in, prior to the Closing, the contravention of, or that may result in, prior to the Closing, a violation or breach of, or default under, any contract to which any Group Company is a party, and (iv) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will be required to provide or otherwise make available any auditor documents, consents or certifications, or any audited financial statements for the Group Companies other than the consolidated, audited financial statements of CCI that are publicly available. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the Closing Date, no Group Company nor any of its respective directors, managers, officers or employees shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the Debt Financing (other than providing customary authorization and representation letters as provided in Section 6.13(c)(iii), and no director, manager or officer of a Group Company who resigns in such capacity at or prior to Closing shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the Debt Financing.

(e) Buyer (i) shall promptly, upon request by Seller, reimburse Seller or the Company, as applicable, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by any Group Company, any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other agents in connection with the cooperation of Seller, any Group Company or any other Affiliate thereof as contemplated by this Section 6.13 and (ii) shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, the Group Companies, their Affiliates and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other agents from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and the performance of their respective obligations under this Section 6.13 (including any action taken in accordance with this Section 6.13) and any information used in connection therewith.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) neither the existence nor the exercise of any “flex” provision in any Debt Financing Commitments or definitive financing document shall constitute a breach by Buyer of this Section 6.13; provided, however, that no such “flex” provision would reduce the amount of the Debt Financing to be funded on the Closing Date or adversely affect the conditionality or availability of the Debt Financing contemplated thereby on the Closing Date, and (ii) in no event shall Buyer have any liability for breach of its covenants or agreements under this Section 6.13 if the Closing occurs.

Section 6.14 Insurance Matters.

(a) Prior to the date hereof, Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies) have maintained insurance coverage for products liability, general liability and automobile liability provided by third-party insurers (including stop loss, excess liability and umbrella coverage) (the “Seller Occurrence Policies” and each, a “Seller Occurrence Policy” for certain liabilities of the Group Companies relating to products claims, general claims typically insured by a general liability policy and automobile related claims arising out of occurrences on or prior to the Closing Date (such claims, the “Insurance Claims” and each, an “Insurance Claim”). After the Closing, upon request of the Company, Seller or its applicable Affiliate shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including filing claims on behalf of any Group Company) to facilitate coverage under the relevant Seller Occurrence Policy for applicable Insurance Claims in the ordinary course of business in substantially the same manner as similar claims were processed prior to the Closing Date, with such coverage determination to be governed by and construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the relevant Seller Occurrence Policy. In the event that (i) Seller or its applicable Affiliate receives any proceeds of a Seller Occurrence Policy with respect to any Insurance Claim covered thereby, and (ii) such claim has been paid by a Group Company, Seller or its applicable Affiliate shall promptly pay or reimburse the Company with respect to the amount so paid by a Group Company in accordance with this Section 6.14.

(b) The applicable Group Company shall reimburse Seller or its applicable Affiliate for any out-of-pocket administrative and processing fees or other similar costs and expenses imposed by the insurer and paid by either of them specifically relating to the submitted Insurance Claims and the processing thereof (the “Reimbursed Amounts”). Seller and Buyer agree that (i) Seller will invoice the Company on a monthly basis for all Reimbursed Amounts paid or incurred by Seller or its applicable Affiliate with appropriate supporting details, and (ii) the Company will pay the amount reflected on such invoices as promptly as practicable and in any event within 15 days of receipt of any such invoice with appropriate supporting details.

(c) In the event that a Group Company or any or its Affiliates or representatives takes or fails to take any action that results in the Seller Occurrence Policy not being available for any reason with respect to any Insurance Claim, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing as to what action or failure of action caused a suspension of coverage. Buyer shall have 30 days to cause the applicable Group Company to remedy such action or failure of action. If no remedy has been effected at the end of such 30-day period, then Seller’s or its applicable Affiliate’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.14 with respect to such Insurance Claim shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) in no event shall Seller or any of its Affiliates be required to pay, or be held responsible for, any self-insured retention amounts or deductibles payable with respect to any Insurance Claim, and (ii) the Group Companies shall be responsible for all self-insured retention amounts and deductibles payable with respect to any Insurance Claim.

(d) Buyer acknowledges that effective as of the Closing Date, Seller or its applicable Affiliate intends to remove the Group Companies and their assets from the Seller Occurrence Policies to the extent that the Seller Occurrence Policies relate to any occurrences arising at any time after the Closing Date. Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that coverage under the Seller Occurrence Policies will not be available to the Group Companies with respect to any injury, loss or damage that the Group Companies or any third party may suffer as a result of any act, omission, occurrence, fact or circumstance occurring with respect to any period after the Closing Date.

(e) In addition to the foregoing, Seller will retain the liability for workers’ compensation claims of any employee of a Group Company that relate to events occurring prior to or on the Closing Date until all such claims are finally resolved (the “Retained Workers’ Compensation Claims”).

Section 6.15 Termination of Certain Agreements. Seller, the Group Companies and each of their respective Affiliates shall take all actions necessary to terminate as of or prior to the Closing each of the Affiliate Transactions set forth on Schedule 6.15 in such a manner that (a) following such termination, each such Contract shall be of no further force or effect such that there are no ongoing rights or obligations (including any accounts payable, accounts receivable and indemnification obligations) of any Group Company thereunder and (b) there shall be no penalty or liability of any Group Company arising from such termination.

Section 6.16 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Non-Competition. Seller hereby covenants and agrees that during the three-year period beginning on the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own any interest in, operate, control, advise, work for, consult to,

have a financial interest which provides any control of, or participate with or in any Person producing, designing, providing, soliciting orders for, selling, distributing, consulting to, or marketing or re-marketing products or services that are competitive with the Business; provided, however, that nothing herein will prohibit Seller or any of its Affiliates from owning or holding less than two percent of the outstanding shares of any class of stock that is regularly traded on a recognized U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange or over-the-counter market; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 6.16(a) shall prohibit Seller or any of its Affiliates from acquiring an entity or business that engages in the same business as the Business as conducted as of the date hereof, so long as (i) the revenue from such competitive operations is no more than 10% of the total revenue of such entity or business (as applicable), and (ii) Seller or its applicable Affiliate sells or otherwise divests each competitive operation within 24 months following such acquisition (unless such disposition would occur after the end of the three-year period described in this Section 6.16(a)).

(b) Non-Solicitation. Seller hereby covenants and agrees that during the three-year period beginning on the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, employ, hire, engage or recruit, solicit, contact or approach for employment, hiring or engagement (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise), or encourage to leave his or her employment or consulting relationship with Buyer, a Group Company or any of their respective Affiliates, any of the Persons set forth on Schedule P-2 or otherwise seek or attempt to influence or alter any such Person’s relationship with Buyer, a Group Company or any of their respective Affiliates; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.16(b) shall prohibit Seller or any of its Affiliates from any: (i) general solicitation for employment (including in any newspaper or magazine, over the internet or by any search or employment agency), if not specifically directed towards any such Person; (ii) hiring of any such Person where the initial contact with such individual regarding such hiring arose from any such general solicitation; or (iii) soliciting for employment or hiring any individual who at the time of such solicitation and hiring has not been employed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer for at least six months prior to such solicitation.

(c) Confidentiality. Seller recognizes and acknowledges that as of Closing Date, it will have knowledge of confidential or other proprietary information relative to the activities of Buyer and the Group Companies, including information relating to financial statements or other financial information, clients, customers, potential clients or customers, employees, suppliers, equipment, designs, discoveries, drawings, programs, strategies, analyses, profit margins, pricing information, Contracts, sales and marketing information or materials, methods of operation, plans, processes, research, systems, techniques, Intellectual Property Rights, products, technologies, materials, innovations, improvements, technical know-how, developments, strategies, ideas, prospects, tangible or intangible work product or other proprietary information (“Confidential Information”). In light of the foregoing, from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives to, maintain the confidentiality of, and refrain from using or disclosing for any purposes, whether directly or indirectly, to any Person, all Confidential Information, except to the extent disclosure of any such Confidential Information is (i) required by Law, or (ii) after any such information is in the public domain through no act on the part of Seller, or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or representatives. In the event that Seller or any of its Affiliates receives a request or is required (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents,

subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliate(s) to: (A) provide Buyer with prompt notice before such disclosure so that Buyer may attempt to obtain a protective Order from a Governmental Entity or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information and (B) cooperate with Buyer in attempting to obtain such Order or assurance. In the event that such Order or assurance is not obtained or that Buyer waives compliance with the provisions hereof, Seller and its Affiliates may disclose to any tribunal only any Confidential Information which it is advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed, and shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information.

(d) Remedies. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the length of time, scope and geographic coverage of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.16 are fair and reasonable given the benefits Seller has received under this Agreement. Seller further agrees that it will not challenge the reasonableness of the time and scope in any Action, regardless of who initiates such Action. Seller further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 6.16 are necessary for the protection of Buyer’s legitimate business interests and that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement unless Seller had agreed for it and its Affiliates to be irrevocably bound by the covenants contained this Section 6.16, that irreparable injury will result to Buyer if Seller or any of its Affiliates breaches any of the terms of this Section 6.16, and that in the event of an actual or threatened breach by Seller or any of its Affiliates of any of the provisions contained in this Section 6.16, Buyer would have no adequate remedy at law. Seller accordingly waives, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law, and agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach by it or any of its Affiliates of any of the provisions contained in this Section 6.16, Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief without (i) the posting of any bond or other security, (ii) the necessity of showing actual damages and (iii) the necessity of showing that monetary damages are an inadequate remedy. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting Buyer from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of any damages that it is able to prove. Seller shall be liable for any breach by its Affiliates of this Section 6.16.

(e) Blue Pencil. This Agreement shall be deemed to consist of a series of separate covenants, and shall be worldwide in geographic scope. The Parties expressly agree that the character, duration and scope of this Agreement are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist on the date hereof. However, should a determination nonetheless be made by a court of competent jurisdiction at a later date that the character, duration or geographical scope of this Agreement is unreasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist, then it is the intention and the agreement of Seller (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) that this Agreement shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the conduct of Seller and its Affiliates that are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist and as are necessary to assure the Group Companies and Buyer of the intended benefit of this Agreement. If, in any Action, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed included herein because, taken together, they are more extensive than necessary to assure the Group Companies and Buyer of the intended benefit of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed among the Parties that those of such covenants that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such Action shall, for the purpose of such Action, be deemed eliminated from the provisions of this Section 6.16.

Section 6.17 Carlisle Name.

(a) Buyer covenants and agrees it shall take action to amend the Governing Documents of the applicable Group Companies to omit or change the word “Carlisle” or any name intended or likely to be confused with the name “Carlisle.” Such action shall be effective no later than 24 months following the Closing Date.

(b) No later than 24 months following the Closing Date, Buyer further covenants and agrees that Buyer shall (i) request all relevant Governmental Entities and domain name registrars to update their respective ownership records to identify the current legal owner of the Owned Intellectual Property and (ii) submit the necessary documents to accomplish such request.

(c) Except for the limited license rights expressly granted to Buyer in the Trademark License Agreement and the right to maintain the names of the applicable Group Companies in accordance with Section 6.17(a), Seller is not transferring to Buyer (or any Affiliate of Buyer), and reserves all right, title and interest in and to, the “Carlisle” name.

Section 6.18 Specified Lease. Buyer agrees to use reasonable best efforts to replace CCI as guarantor under the Specified Lease with an Affiliate of Buyer no later than the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date.

Section 6.19 Certain Matters.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer and the Group Companies harmless from (i) any Action or Order against Buyer or the Group Companies arising from or related to the matter described on Schedule 6.19 (the “Specified Matter”) and to reimburse Buyer for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer or the Group Companies in connection with such Action or Order, (ii) any Losses incurred by Buyer and its Covered Employees in their capacity as Assisting Party, as contemplated under Section 6.8(b), including in connection with the Specified Matter, and (iii) the Retained Workers’ Compensation Claims (other than with respect to Buyer’s responsibilities for the Retained Workers’ Compensation described in Section 6.8(c)).

(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold CCI, Seller or their Affiliates, as applicable, harmless from (i) any Action or Order against CCI in its capacity as guarantor under the Specified Lease and to reimburse CCI for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by CCI in connection with such Action or Order for so long as CCI remains guarantor under the Specified Lease, (ii) any Losses incurred by Seller, its Affiliates or any of their Covered Employees in their capacity as Assisting Party, as contemplated under Section 6.8(b) and (iii) any 338(g) Taxes and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses arising from any (A) commercially reasonable actions requested by Buyer pursuant to Section 6.11(a) and (B) cooperation with Buyer in connection with the 338(g) Election.

Section 6.20 One Percent Interest Transfer. Prior to the Closing, Seller or its applicable Affiliate will have caused Carlisle Producto, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an Affiliate of Seller, to transfer its one percent interest in Carlisle Mexico to San Jamar Mexico, LLC (the “One Percent Interest Transfer”).

Section 6.21 Further Assurances. Each of Seller and Buyer, upon the request of the other from time to time following the Closing, without further consideration, shall sign such documents and take such actions as may be necessary or reasonably requested to make more fully effective the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to carry out the purposes hereof.

(c) by Seller, if there shall have been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer contained in this Agreement, or any such representation or warranty shall be untrue, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) would not be satisfied and, in either such case, such breach or condition is not curable or, if curable, is not cured prior to the earlier of (i) 30 days after written notice thereof is given by Seller to Buyer or (ii) the Seller Termination Date; provided, however, that Seller shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) if Seller or the Company, as applicable, is then in material breach of any of its respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and such breach, individually or in the aggregate with all other such breaches, would be the primary cause of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 not to be satisfied;

(d) by Buyer, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to April 30, 2018 (the “Buyer Termination Date”), unless the primary cause of the failure to consummate the Closing is a breach by Buyer of its representations, warranties, obligations or covenants under this Agreement;

(e) by Seller, if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or prior to March 30, 2018 (the “Seller Termination Date”), unless the primary cause of the failure to consummate the Closing is a breach by Seller or the Company of its respective representations, warranties, obligations or covenants under this Agreement;

(b) The Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall Buyer be required to pay the Buyer Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(c) The Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that the Buyer Termination Fee, if, as and when required to be paid pursuant to this Section 9.3, shall not constitute a penalty but will be liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller and the Company under the circumstances for their efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. In furtherance of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller’s right to direct the payment of the Buyer Termination Fee to the extent provided in Section 9.3(a) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller, the Company, any other Group Company and any of their respective Affiliates against Buyer, the Buyer Guarantor, Sponsor, the Debt Financing Sources, and each of their respective former, current, or future directors, officers, employees, agents, general and limited partners, managers, members, stockholders, Affiliates and assignees, and each former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, stockholder, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder, Affiliate or assignee of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Specified Parties”) for any Losses suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to be consummated or for a

breach or failure to perform hereunder or for any alleged breach of the Financing Commitments, and no Specified Party shall have any other liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, in each case, whether based on contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable Action, by virtue of any Law or otherwise and whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of a party hereto to another Person or otherwise.

(d) The Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. If Buyer fails to pay timely the Buyer Termination Fee, or any portion thereof, when due and payable in accordance with Section 9.3(a), and, in order to obtain such payment, Seller commences a suit that results in a final and non-appealable judgment against Buyer for the Buyer Termination Fee, or any portion thereof, then Buyer shall pay to Seller or the Company, as applicable, their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and the reasonable and documented out pocket fees and expenses of any expert or consultant engaged Seller or the Company, as applicable) in connection with such suit promptly following the entry of such final and non-appealable judgment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller.

Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (i) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedules and Exhibits, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (iii) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (iv) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (v) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”; and (vi) references to “dollar,” “dollars” or “$” shall be to the lawful currency of the United States. In the event a value expressed or denominated in a currency is to be expressed or denominated in another currency for purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of calculating Cash and Cash Equivalents, Indebtedness or Net Working Capital, the relevant currency conversion shall be made using the mid-point foreign exchange rate provided by Bloomberg as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date. In the event that a relevant foreign exchange rate is not provided by Bloomberg, such exchange rate for purposes of this Agreement shall be the mid-point official foreign exchange rate published by the local central bank (or equivalent institution) of the relevant foreign jurisdiction on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date.

Section 10.6 Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules or other documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. Any item disclosed on any section of the Schedules will qualify (a) the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (b) other Sections of this Agreement to the extent (notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross-reference) that it is clear from a reasonable reading of the Schedules and such other Sections of this Agreement that such disclosure is also applicable to such other Sections of this Agreement. Further, each Material Contract may be disclosed once in the most relevant

subsection of Schedule 3.6(a) but shall be deemed disclosed in each and every other subsection of Schedule 3.6(a) to which it applies (notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross-reference). The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 10.7 Time of the Essence; Computation of Time. Time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” mean “to but excluding” and the word “through” means “to and including.” Whenever the last day for the exercise of any privilege or the discharge of any duty hereunder shall fall upon a day that is not a Business Day, the Party having such privilege or duty may exercise such privilege or discharge such duty on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

Section 10.8 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Section 6.7, Section 6.12, Section 9.3(c) and Section 10.18, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Debt Financing Sources shall be express third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.8 and Sections 9.3(c), 10.1(c), 10.10, 10.11(c), 10.14 and 10.20.

Section 10.9 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 10.10 Amendment. Subject to Law and Section 10.11, this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written agreement executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of the Parties. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and any purported amendment by any Party or Parties effected in a manner which does not comply with this Section 10.10 shall be void. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 10.10 and Sections 9.3(c), 10.1(c), 10.8, 10.11(c), 10.14 and 10.20 (and any definition set forth in, or other provision of, this Agreement to the extent that an amendment or modification of such definition or other provision would amend or modify the substance of this Section 10.10 and Sections 9.3(c), 10.1(c), 10.8, 10.11(c), 10.14 and 10.20 may not be amended or modified in a manner adverse to any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Source (and any such amendment or modification without such prior written consent shall be null and void).

Section 10.11 Waiver.

(a) Seller may waive compliance by Buyer with any term or provision of this Agreement. Buyer may waive compliance by Seller or the Group Companies with any term or provision of this Agreement.

(b) Any agreement on the part of any Party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of or delay by any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights; provided, however, that time is of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 10.11(c) and Sections 10.8, 10.10, 10.14 and 10.20 (and any definition set forth in, or other provision of, this Agreement to the extent that a waiver of such definition or other provision would amend or modify the substance of this Section 10.11(c) and Sections 10.8, 10.10, 10.14 and 10.20) may not be waived in a manner adverse to any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Source (and any such waiver without such prior written consent shall be null and void).

Section 10.12 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 10.13 Knowledge of the Company. For all purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “to the Company’s knowledge,” “to the knowledge of the Company” and “known by the Company” and any derivations thereof or phrases having similar import thereto shall mean as of the applicable date, the actual knowledge without independent investigation (and shall in no event encompass constructive, imputed or similar concepts of knowledge) of Trent Freiberg, Jeffrey Fisher, Peter Stressman, Jose Rodriguez or Javier Payan, none of whom shall have any personal liability or obligations regarding such knowledge.

Section 10.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any right to trial by jury of any Action (a) arising under this Agreement or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any Action against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Financing Commitments or the transactions contemplated thereby), in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. Each Party hereby agrees and consents that any such Action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the Parties (and any Debt Financing Source) may file an original counterpart of a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

Section 10.15 Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the Parties (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such Action may be heard and determined in any such court and (c) agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Action so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each Party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any Action may be made on such Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address of the Party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.2. Nothing in this Section 10.15, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each Party agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any Action so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

Section 10.16 Remedies.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 9, Seller and Buyer shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent or cure breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Seller or Buyer are entitled at Law or in equity.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein or in any Ancillary Document to the contrary, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that Seller shall not be entitled to seek specific performance to cause Buyer to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to consummate the Closing in accordance with Article 2 unless (i) Buyer is required to complete the Closing pursuant to Section 2.1 and fails to complete the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.1, (ii) the financing provided for by the Debt Financing Commitment (or, if Alternative Financing, as the case may be) has been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing and (iii) Seller has irrevocably confirmed in writing that, if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then the Closing will occur in accordance with Article 2.

(c) Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at Law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent breaches of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction or other Order.

Section 10.17 Waivers. Recognizing that Hunton & Williams LLP has acted as legal counsel to Seller and certain of its Affiliates and the Group Companies prior to the Closing, and that Hunton & Williams LLP intends to act as legal counsel to Seller and certain of its Affiliates after the Closing, each of Buyer, and each Group Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Hunton & Williams LLP representing Seller and/or its Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Buyer, the Group Companies or the transactions contemplated herein (including in respect of litigation). In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between Seller, its Affiliates, the Group Companies and Hunton & Williams LLP in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Seller and its Affiliates (and not any of the Group Companies). Accordingly, Buyer agrees that following the Closing neither it, nor any of the Group Companies nor any of their Affiliates shall have access to any such communications or to the files of Hunton & Williams LLP relating to its engagement with Seller and certain of its Affiliates and/or the Group Companies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) Seller and its Affiliates (and not any of the Group Companies) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and no Group Company shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Hunton & Williams LLP in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Seller and its Affiliates (and not any of the Group Companies) shall hold such property rights and (iii) Hunton & Williams LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any of the Group Companies by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Hunton & Williams LLP and any of the Group Companies or otherwise.

Section 10.18 Non-Recourse. All Actions (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents), may be made only against the entities that are expressly identified as Parties hereto and parties thereto. No Person who is not a named party to this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, including any past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, equityholders (including stockholders and optionholders), Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any named party to this Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents (“Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or such other Ancillary Document (as the case may be) or for any

claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or such other Ancillary Document (as the case may be) or the negotiation or execution hereof or thereof; and each Party waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third party beneficiaries of this provision of this Agreement.

Section 10.19 CCI Guarantee. CCI does hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to Buyer the full, complete and prompt performance and payment, as the case may be, of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereafter defined), and undertakes with Buyer that, whenever Seller does not pay or perform any of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with their respective terms, CCI shall, immediately on demand by Buyer, pay or perform such Guaranteed Obligations as if it were the principal obligor primarily liable for the performance and not as a mere surety. Buyer may obtain recourse against CCI for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations prior to, concurrently with, or after any other Action to enforce such Guaranteed Obligations. In no event shall Buyer be deemed to have elected any remedy that precludes or impairs its ability to proceed against CCI hereunder. CCI hereby waives protest, presentment, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, CCI may not assign or transfer its obligations hereunder to any other person without the prior written consent of Buyer. CCI shall be entitled to perform or satisfy the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the same terms and conditions and subject to the same rights and limitations as are applicable to Seller under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Guaranteed Obligations” means Seller’s obligations (a) under Section 2.3(c)(ii) to pay to Buyer and amount equal to the Actual Adjustment if the Actual Adjustment is a negative number, (b) to comply with the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 6.16, (c) to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and the Group Companies for the matters described in Section 6.19 (subject to the limitations described in Section 6.19), and (d) with respect to any claim based on Fraud by Seller (based solely on the representations and warranties in Article 3 and Article 4).

Section 10.20 Certain Matters Regarding the Debt Financing Sources.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) Seller, the Company and each of the other Parties hereto agrees that any claim, controversy or dispute of any kind or nature (whether in contract or in tort, in Law, in equity or otherwise) against a Debt Financing Source that is in any way related to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Financing Commitments or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any such dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York; provided, however, that (A) the determination of the accuracy of any representation and warranty made by Seller in this Agreement as are material to the interest of the Debt Financing Sources and whether as a result of any inaccuracy thereof Buyer (or Buyer’s applicable Affiliate) has the right to terminate its or its Affiliate’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.1 of this Agreement or otherwise declines to consummate the purchase of the Shares as a result of the failure of the closing condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) of this Agreement as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties in this Agreement, (B) the interpretation of whether a Company

Material Adverse Effect has occurred and (C) the determination of whether the purchase of the Shares has been consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall, in each case, be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware and (ii) Seller and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, members, managers, partners and controlling persons) and each of the other Parties hereto (A) agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Financing Commitments or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof or the transactions contemplated thereby, in any forum other than exclusively in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the County of New York (and appellate courts thereof), (B) submits for itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (C) agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on any Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to such Party to be served at the address of such Party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.2 and shall be effective service of process against it for any such action brought in any such court, (D) waives and hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such action in any such court and (E) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Seller and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, members, managers, partners and controlling persons) agrees that none of it, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, members, managers, partners and controlling persons shall have any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Financing Commitments or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing or Alternative Financing, as applicable, or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, whether at Law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing will not limit the rights of the parties to the Debt Financing under the Debt Financing Commitments or the definitive documentation with respect thereto. In addition, in no event will any Debt Financing Source be liable for consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or indirect damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) or damages of a tortious nature in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Financing Commitments or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing or Alternative Financing, as applicable, or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.
