Following the Closing, Buyer and the Other Buyers shall be responsible for all Assumed Liabilities, regardless of when or where such Assumed Liabilities arose or arise, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to or subsequent to the Closing Date, regardless of where or against whom such Assumed Liabilities are asserted or determined or whether asserted or determined prior to the Agreement Date. Buyer shall not be released from any Liability hereunder if it assigns any of its rights or Liabilities hereunder to any of its Affiliates.

(b) The Parties agree that, except for the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not accept, assume, pay, perform, fulfill or discharge or otherwise have any Liability for, and Seller and its Subsidiaries (excluding any Purchased Entity) shall retain, and shall be solely responsible and liable for paying, performing, fulfilling and discharging when due, all Excluded Liabilities.

Section 2.5 Transfer.

(a) The right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Shares at Closing shall be sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered, and the Assumed Liabilities shall be assumed, pursuant to transfer and assumption agreements and such other instruments in such form as may be necessary or appropriate to effect a conveyance of the Purchased Shares and the Purchased Assets and an assumption of the Assumed Liabilities in accordance with the terms set forth herein in the jurisdictions in which such transfers or assignments are to be made. Such transfer and assumption agreements shall be in a form mutually agreed by the Parties, as required in each jurisdiction, and shall include: (i) with respect to the Purchased Shares, to the extent that such Purchased Shares are in certificated form, certificates evidencing the Purchased Shares duly endorsed in blank or with stock powers duly executed in proper form for transfer, and, to the extent that such Purchased Shares are not in certificated form, stock powers or other instruments of transfer duly executed in blank, and in either case, any other equivalent or alternative procedure required under local Law to effect valid transfer of the Purchased Shares, including any short-form notarial deeds, instruments or other similar documents as necessary, and with any required stock transfer stamps affixed thereto (the “Equity Transfer Documents”); (ii) to the extent required by Law or otherwise agreed by the Parties and in compliance with Section 2.5(b), a local transfer agreement, and/or local assignment or conveyance deed or such other instrument for any transfer or assignment, as applicable, for each jurisdiction other than the United States in which Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities are located or the Purchased Entities are organized (each such agreement, a “Local Transfer Agreement”); and (iii) with respect to the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, to the extent necessary in addition to the Equity Transfer Documents and the Local Transfer Agreements or otherwise agreed by the Parties, a bill of sale and assignment and assumption agreement in a form to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (each such agreement, a “Bill of Sale”); which, in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not contain provisions expanding the scope of the Parties’ respective obligations as set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Each Local Transfer Agreement shall be that which is customary in the relevant jurisdiction for a transfer or assignment of the type of assets or shares, as applicable, being transferred or assigned pursuant to such Local Transfer Agreement and shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement and otherwise mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (and the relevant Other Sellers and Other Buyers, as required under applicable local Law) in all respects; provided, in each case, that (i) to the extent permissible under local Law, the Local Transfer Agreements shall serve purely to effect the legal transfer or assignment of the applicable Purchased Assets or Purchased Shares and shall not have any effect on the value being received by Seller or given by Buyer in the Purchase Transaction, or the terms and conditions

24

of the transactions contemplated hereby, all of which shall be determined by this Agreement, except where required by local Law (and any consideration paid by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any Local Transfer Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes to comprise part of, and not be in addition to, the amounts payable hereunder), (ii) no such Local Transfer Agreement shall in any way modify, amend, or constitute a waiver of, any provision of this Agreement (except to the extent required by Law of the applicable jurisdiction), and (iii) no such Local Transfer Agreement shall include any additional representations or warranties, covenants or agreements except to the extent required by Law of the applicable jurisdiction. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and a Local Transfer Agreement, this Agreement will control to the extent permissible under Law of an applicable jurisdiction. Such transfer or assignment pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document will be effective as of Closing or at such other times as specifically provided in each respective Transaction Document and will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Transaction Document.

Section 2.6 Approvals and Consents.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including with respect to the Restructuring Activities), this Agreement and the Local Transfer Agreements shall not constitute the sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery of any Purchased Asset that is not assignable or transferable (i) without the consent of any Person other than Seller, the Purchased Entities or any Subsidiary of Seller or Buyer, to the extent that such consent shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing or (ii) without violating any applicable Law; provided, however, that Seller and Buyer shall have the continuing obligation until two years after the Closing (or, if earlier, until the lapse, expiration or termination of any such Purchased Asset that is a Contract) to use reasonable best efforts and otherwise cooperate with each other to obtain all necessary consents to the assignment or transfer thereof, it being understood that (A) other than general internal costs, overhead and use of internal personnel and assets or infrastructure (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be charged by way of a holding fee or otherwise), neither Seller, nor Buyer nor any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries shall be required to expend money (except to the extent Seller and Buyer reasonably agree to expend money and share in such expenditure equally), incur any Liability, commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to obtain such consents, and (B) in connection therewith, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including, if prior to the Closing, the Purchased Entities) not to, (I) commit to make any payments other than cash payments that are approved by Buyer and borne equally between the parties hereto (in which case Seller shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, promptly upon receipt of Buyer’s portion of such payment, make such payment in full) or (II) make any material concession that would purport to bind Buyer, its Affiliates or, following the Closing, the Business or any Purchased Entity. Upon obtaining the requisite third party consents thereto, such Purchased Assets shall promptly be transferred and assigned to Buyer (or the applicable Subsidiary of Buyer) hereunder at no additional cost (subject to the occurrence of the Closing).

(b) With respect to any Purchased Asset that is not transferred and assigned to Buyer at the Closing by reason of Section 2.6(a), after the Closing and for two years thereafter (or, if earlier, until the lapse, expiration or termination of any such Purchased Asset that is a Contract), until any requisite consent is obtained therefor and the same is transferred and assigned to Buyer (or the applicable Subsidiary of Buyer), the Parties shall cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain for Buyer, at no cost to Seller or Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, an arrangement with respect thereto to provide Buyer (or the applicable Subsidiary of Buyer) the benefits, and for Buyer to bear the obligations and burdens, thereunder and to otherwise put Buyer and Seller (and their respective Subsidiaries) in the position they would have been in had such Purchased Asset and Assumed Liabilities thereunder been transferred and assumed directly at the Closing (i.e., without limiting that all Liabilities thereunder nevertheless constitute Assumed Liabilities, and such assets nevertheless constitute Purchased Assets, for

25

all purposes of this Agreement regardless of whether such consents are obtained). In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, without further consideration therefor, pay and remit to Buyer all monies, rights and other consideration received in respect of such Purchased Asset (net of any Taxes incurred in respect of such amounts) as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof and Buyer shall pay, perform and discharge fully, promptly when due, all of the obligations of Seller and its Subsidiaries in respect of such Purchased Asset and Assumed Liabilities, each as if such Purchased Asset had been transferred at the Closing. If the requisite consents have not been received by the date that is two years after the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall work in good faith to expeditiously identify alternative means or structures by which any remaining Purchased Assets (and/or the benefits thereof) may be transferred (or otherwise made available) to Buyer.

(c) The Parties have determined that it is advisable that the Shared Contracts that are not also Excluded Shared Contracts be separated or replicated into separate Contracts between the applicable third party and each of (i) the business retained by Seller and its Subsidiaries and (ii) the Business, or, with respect to certain Shared Contracts involving Intellectual Property Rights, to take such other steps as may be contemplated or permitted by such Shared Contract to permit such Shared Contract to continue to cover or benefit the Business in a substantially comparable manner. The Parties agree to cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to provide reasonable assistance prior to the Closing and, to the extent not achieved prior to the Closing, then for two years thereafter (or, if earlier, until the lapse, expiration or termination of any such Shared Contract; provided, that during such two-year period, Seller shall require the prior written consent of Buyer to voluntarily terminate (excluding, for the sake of clarity, non-renewal) or willfully breach (in a manner that adversely affects the Business) a Shared Contract not previously separated or replicated as contemplated by this Section 2.6(c)), in effecting the separation, replication or sublicensing, as applicable, of such Shared Contracts (with such separated Shared Contract imposing no material additional or differing obligations (except, in each case, arising from different volume-based arrangements or credit rating of Buyer) than, and otherwise on substantially the same terms (including with respect to pricing) as, the applicable Shared Contract (except that the replicated Shared Contract will only pertain to the Business) or other terms mutually agreeable to the Parties in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein) and, once so separated or replicated, such separated or replicated Contract relating to the Business shall be deemed an Assigned Contract hereunder and transferred to and assumed by Buyer or a Purchased Entity, as applicable, directly (but, in the case of Buyer, no sooner than the Closing), at no additional cost to Buyer; provided, however, it being understood that (A) other than general internal costs, overhead and use of internal personnel and assets or infrastructure (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be charged by way of a holding fee or otherwise), neither Seller, nor Buyer nor any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries shall be required to expend money (except to the extent Seller and Buyer reasonably agree to expend money and share in such expenditure equally), incur any Liability, commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to separate or replicate such Contracts and (B) in connection therewith, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including, if prior to the Closing, the Purchased Entities) not to, (I) commit to make any payments other than cash payments that are approved by Buyer and borne equally between the parties hereto (in which case Seller shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, promptly upon receipt of Buyer’s portion of such payment, make such payment in full) or (II) make any material concession that would purport to bind Buyer or its Affiliates or, following the Closing, the Business or any Purchased Entity. Further, with respect to any Shared Contract that is not an Excluded Shared Contract, after the Closing and for two years thereafter (or, if earlier, until the lapse, expiration or termination of any such Shared Contract), until any separate Contract (if any) is obtained therefor (at which time such separate Contract (if any) will be transferred to and assumed by Buyer or the applicable Subsidiary of Buyer), the Parties shall cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain for Buyer, at no cost to Seller or Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, an arrangement with respect thereto to provide Buyer (or the applicable Subsidiary of Buyer) substantially comparable benefits, and for Buyer to bear the obligations and burdens, thereunder and to otherwise put Buyer and Seller (and

26

their respective Subsidiaries) in the position they would have been in had such Shared Contract, to the extent relating to the Business (and the Assumed Liabilities associated therewith), been transferred and assumed directly at the Closing. In furtherance of the foregoing, if, after the Closing, Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Purchased Entities), on the one hand, or Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Entities), on the other hand, receives any benefit or payment or suffers any payment or obligation that under any Shared Contract was intended for the other, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, deliver such benefit or payment to the applicable party or pay or perform such payment or obligation, including any additional Taxes incurred by Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection therewith.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.6 shall not apply to any consent, clearance, waiting period expiration or termination, authorization or approval of any Governmental Authority, which Consents shall be governed solely by Section 6.3.

(e) Buyer acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from third parties to certain Real Property Leases, Permits, Assigned Contracts, Shared Contracts and other Contracts and rights intended to be Purchased Assets, that such consents may not be obtained and that no representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition to Buyer’s obligations to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed not satisfied, in each case, solely as a result of the failure to obtain any such consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.6(e) do not in any way affect, alter or otherwise diminish any representation or warranty of Seller specifically set forth in Section 4.3.

Section 2.7 Restructuring Activities.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall perform certain restructuring activities to effect the separation of the Business from Seller’s other businesses on or prior to the Closing which activities (and restrictions thereon) are described in the Step Plan (such activities, other than the Closing Steps, the “Restructuring Activities”). From time to time after the Agreement Date and prior to the Closing, the Parties shall be permitted to amend such Step Plan upon mutual written consent, which consent by either Party shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) All documents, instruments or certificates executed to effectuate the Restructuring Activities and the other transactions described in this Section 2.7 (the “Restructuring Documents”) shall be in form and substance consistent with the Step Plan. With respect to all Restructuring Documents executed following the Agreement Date, no such Restructuring Document may be executed without the prior written consent of Buyer (email being sufficient), not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) Prior to the Closing, without in any way altering the defined terms “Purchased Assets” or “Excluded Assets,” Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, in consultation with the other Party, use reasonable best efforts to identify the internal separation activities necessary for the Business to operate in a manner independent from Seller and its Subsidiaries (other than the Purchased Entities) and for the businesses (other than the Business) of Seller and its Subsidiaries (other than the Purchased Entities) to operate independently of the Business. Further, upon the reasonable request of the other Party, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, subject to applicable Law, provide reasonable cooperation to the other Party in (i) effecting such separation activities such that the Business can operate in a manner independent from Seller and its Subsidiaries (other than the Purchased Entities) at or promptly after the Closing and (ii) taking such other actions to otherwise reduce the term and scope of services required by Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Purchased Entities) (or, with respect to any services provided by Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Purchased Entities) to Seller or its Subsidiaries, required by Seller and its Subsidiaries) under the Transition Services Agreement.

ARTICLE 3

CONSIDERATION

Section 3.1 Consideration. The total consideration for the Purchased Shares and the Purchased Assets shall be equal to the sum of $2,111,200,000 (such amount, the “Base Purchase Price”), plus an amount equal to the Business Cash as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Closing Business Cash”), minus an amount equal to the Business Indebtedness outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Closing Business Indebtedness”), plus the amount, if any, by which the Closing Net Working Capital is greater than the Closing Net Working Capital Upper Collar, minus the amount, if any, by which the Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Closing Net Working Capital Lower Collar (such aggregate amount, as adjusted and finally determined pursuant to this Agreement, the “Purchase Price”).

Section 3.2 Estimated Purchase Price.

(a) No later than three Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a reasonably detailed written statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) that sets forth Seller’s good faith estimate of (i) the Closing Business Cash (the “Estimated Business Cash”), (ii) the Closing Business Indebtedness (the “Estimated Business Indebtedness”), (iii) the Closing Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”), and (iv) the calculation of the Purchase Price based on the foregoing (the “Estimated Purchase Price”), including reasonably detailed calculations thereof. The items set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared to reflect the Business on a consolidated basis (i.e., with all intercompany amounts solely within the Business eliminated) based on Seller’s books and records and in accordance with the Accounting Principles and this Agreement. No amount shall be included, in whole or in part (either as an increase or reduction), more than once in the calculation of the Estimated Closing Statement (or any items reflected thereon). During the period from the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement until the Closing, Seller shall reasonably consider any comments from Buyer regarding the Estimated Closing Statement in good faith and work in good faith to update the Estimated Closing Statement to resolve any differences that Seller and Buyer may have with respect to any of the amounts or calculations set forth therein; provided, that if Seller and Buyer do not mutually agree upon the contents of the Estimated Closing Statement, Seller’s calculations shall be used at the Closing as the basis for determining the Purchase Price payable at Closing and in no event will the Closing be delayed in any manner in connection with Buyer’s review of the Estimated Closing Statement or the consideration of any proposed revisions, or Seller agreeing to make any modifications thereto.

(b) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid to Seller, an amount equal to the Estimated Purchase Price. Such Estimated Purchase Price shall be payable in United States dollars in immediately available federal funds and delivered by Buyer to such bank account or accounts as shall be designated in writing by Seller no later than the third Business Day prior to the Closing (or such later time as may be agreed by the Parties). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of the Estimated Purchase Price is required under applicable Law to be paid in a currency other than United States dollars and/or to a specific Other Seller, the applicable United States dollar amount (as allocated pursuant to Section 3.3 or otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties) shall be converted into the applicable other currency at the Designated Exchange Rate (if so required) and paid at the Closing by, or on behalf of, Buyer or the applicable Other Buyer to Seller or the appropriate Other Seller by wire transfer to one or more bank accounts designated in writing by Seller no later than the third Business Day prior to the Closing (or such later time as may be agreed by Seller and Buyer) in lieu of the payment of such amount in United States dollars pursuant to this Section 3.2(b).

28

Section 3.3 Allocation of Purchase Price. Seller, on behalf of itself and the Other Sellers, and Buyer, on behalf of itself and the Other Buyers, have agreed to allocate the Purchase Price, the amount of the Assumed Liabilities and other relevant amounts required to be taken into account for applicable Tax purposes among the Purchased Shares (and to the extent required or permitted by applicable Tax Law, the underlying assets held by the Purchased Entities) and the Purchased Assets (and to the extent required or permitted by applicable Tax Law any licenses acquired pursuant to the IPMA) (collectively, the “ Section 3.3 Assets”) in a manner consistent with Sections 1060, 336 and 338 of the Code (as applicable) (and any other applicable Tax Law) and the methodology set forth in Schedule 3.3 of the Disclosure Letter (the “Allocation Methodology”). If Seller and Buyer are required to prepare any such allocation of Purchase Price at or prior to the Closing pursuant to the applicable Tax Law in any relevant jurisdiction, Seller and Buyer shall agree on a preliminary allocation of the Estimated Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities and other relevant amounts (the “Preliminary Allocation Statement”) prior to the Closing Date among the Section 3.3 Assets in a manner consistent with any such applicable Tax Law, the Allocation Methodology and this Section 3.3 and based on the information available as of such time. Within 90 Business Days after the Closing Statement becomes final pursuant to Section 3.5, Buyer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller the statement (the “Allocation Statement”), allocating the Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities and other relevant amounts, to the extent properly taken into account under Sections 1060, 336 and 338 of the Code (as applicable) (and any other applicable Tax Law)) among the Section 3.3 Assets in accordance with Sections 1060, 336 and 338 of the Code (as applicable) (and any other applicable Tax Law). Buyer shall consider in good faith any comments received from Seller within 30 Business Days of Seller’s receipt of the Allocation Statement. If, within 30 Business Days after the delivery of the Allocation Statement, Seller notifies Buyer that Seller objects to the Allocation Statement, Seller and Buyer shall seek in good faith to resolve such dispute within 10 Business Days. In the event that Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such dispute within such period, Buyer and Seller shall jointly retain the Independent Accountant to resolve the disputed items consistent with the Allocation Methodology and this Agreement. Unless mutually agreed to otherwise, Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Independent Accountant to determine and report to Buyer and Seller upon the resolution of any such unresolved disputes no later than five Business Days prior to the due date for any applicable Tax Return (taking into account valid extensions). Upon resolution of the disputed items, the Allocation Statement shall be adjusted to reflect such resolution. In the event the Independent Accountant is unable to render a decision prior to the due date for any applicable Tax Return (taking into account valid extensions), Buyer and Seller agree to file such Tax Return using the Allocation Statement as proposed by Buyer and to amend any such Tax Return upon a contrary determination by the Independent Accountant in order to reflect such determination. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that the Allocation Statement will be consistent with the methodologies, policies and principles of the Allocation Methodology and the Preliminary Allocation Statement; provided that the Allocation Statement shall reflect any adjustments to the information contained therein since the date of such information. In the event of any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement, the Allocation Statement shall be adjusted in accordance with the principles set forth in this Section 3.3. Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Allocation Statement, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, act in accordance with the Allocation Statement in the course of any Tax audit, Tax review or Tax litigation relating thereto, and shall not take or cause their Affiliates to take any position inconsistent with the Allocation Statement for Income Tax purposes in any jurisdiction, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or other similar provision under applicable Tax Law. Seller and Buyer shall each be responsible for the preparation of their own Section 1060, Section 336 and Section 338 statements and forms (and

29

analogous statements and forms under state, local, and non-U.S. Law, as applicable) in accordance with applicable Tax Laws and in a manner consistent with the Allocation Statement, and each shall execute and deliver to each other such statements and forms as are reasonably requested by the other Party. In the event that the Allocation Statement is disputed by any Taxing Authority, (a) the Party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other Party of such notice and (b) both Seller and Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to defend the Allocation Statement in any Proceedings or settle such dispute in a manner mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer.

Section 3.4 Delivery of Purchased Assets. The Purchased Assets shall be delivered to Buyer or an Other Asset Buyer, as applicable, in the form and to the location as of immediately prior to Closing unless otherwise consented to by Seller and at Buyer’s cost and expense (to the extent such Purchased Assets are requested by Buyer (and agreed by Seller) to be moved to a different physical location), it being understood that the transfer or assignment of the Purchased Shares will constitute the transfer or assignment of, and satisfy any obligation to transfer or assign, the Purchased Assets and any other Purchased Shares held by such Purchased Entity; provided, further, that, to the extent practicable, Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) all of the transferred technology through electronic delivery or in another reasonable manner reasonably calculated and legally permitted to minimize or avoid the incurrence of any Transfer Taxes and VAT if such method of delivery does not adversely affect costs (including Taxes) of Seller, Buyer or their respective Subsidiaries, or the condition, operability or usefulness or benefit of any Purchased Assets to Buyer or its Subsidiaries. Further, (a) Business Records may be redacted to remove, or omit information or portions thereof, not relating to the Business, (b) it is acknowledged and agreed that Business Records will be transferred by Seller only to the extent that such Business Records exist as of the Closing (it being understood that Business Records shall be maintained following the date of this Agreement through Closing in compliance with Seller’s ordinary course document retention policy as set forth in Section 6.1(a)) and to the extent such Business Records exist both in tangible and electronic form, only the electronic form must be provided, and (c) the transfer of any Business Records shall be made subject to applicable Law.

Section 3.5 Post-Closing Adjustments.

(a) As promptly as practicable and in any event within 90 days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a reasonably detailed written statement (the “Closing Statement”) that sets forth Buyer’s good faith determination of (i) the Closing Business Cash, (ii) the Closing Business Indebtedness, (iii) the Closing Net Working Capital, and (iv) the calculation of the Purchase Price based on the foregoing. The items set forth on the Closing Statement shall be prepared to reflect the Business on a consolidated basis (i.e., with all intercompany amounts solely within the Business eliminated) based upon the books and records of the Business and in accordance with the Accounting Principles and this Agreement. No amount shall be included, in whole or in part (either as an increase or reduction), more than once in the calculation of the Closing Statement (or any items reflected thereon). The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Statement and components thereof is solely to (A) accurately measure the Closing Business Cash, Closing Business Indebtedness and Closing Net Working Capital and (B) measure the differences in Closing Business Cash from Estimated Business Cash, Closing Business Indebtedness from Estimated Business Indebtedness and Closing Net Working Capital from Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, and, without limiting the terms of this Agreement or the application of the Accounting Principles as set forth herein, such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of, or alteration of, judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, reserves, classifications or estimation methodologies different from those described in the Accounting Principles.

30

(b) From the Closing Date through the Determination Date, each Party shall give, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, Representatives and auditors to give (upon execution of a customary access letter if required by outside accountants), the other Party and its Affiliates, Representatives and auditors, all such reasonable access, during normal business hours (or such other times as the Parties may agree) and upon reasonable prior notice, and in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of their business, as the Parties may reasonably request to the books and records of the Business (including electronic access, to the extent available) and to the appropriate personnel or Representatives of the Parties (including finance personnel) for any purpose relating to the Closing Statement and the adjustments contemplated by this Section 3.5. Each Party shall authorize its accountants to disclose work papers generated by such accountants in connection with preparing and reviewing the calculations specified by this Section 3.5; provided, that such accountants shall not be obligated to make any work papers available except in accordance with such accountants’ customary disclosure procedures and then only after the non-client party has signed a customary agreement relating to access to such work papers.

(c) Within 45 days after Seller’s receipt of the Closing Statement, Seller shall notify Buyer whether it accepts or disputes the accuracy of the Closing Statement. In the event that Seller disputes the accuracy of the Closing Statement, Seller shall deliver a written notice to Buyer specifying in reasonable detail those items and amounts as to which Seller disagrees and setting forth Seller’s calculation of such disputed amounts (a “Dispute Notice”) and Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement. In the event that Seller notifies Buyer that it accepts the Closing Statement, or does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Buyer during such 45 day period, Seller shall be considered to have accepted the accuracy of the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer, and such Closing Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent fraud.

(d) If a Dispute Notice shall be timely delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 3.5(c), the Parties shall, during the 30 days following such delivery (as such time period may be extended by the mutual agreement of the Parties), seek in good faith to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts. If the Parties resolve their differences over the disputed items in the Closing Statement in accordance with the foregoing procedure, the Closing Statement shall be revised to reflect such resolution and the amount of the Closing Business Indebtedness, the Closing Business Cash and the Closing Net Working Capital agreed upon by the Parties as reflected in such revised Closing Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, absent fraud.

(e) If the Parties fail to resolve their differences over the disputed items and amounts in the Closing Statement within such 30-day period set forth in Section 3.5(d) (as such time period may be extended by the mutual agreement of the Parties), then the Parties shall promptly jointly request that BDO USA, LLP, or if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, (i) such nationally recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be mutually agreed by the Parties, or (ii) if Seller and Buyer are unable to agree upon another such firm within ten Business Days after the end of such 30-day period, then within an additional ten Business Days, Seller and Buyer shall each select one such firm and those two firms shall, within ten Business Days after their selection, select a third such firm (BDO USA, LLP, the firm selected in accordance with clause (i) or the third firm selected in accordance with clause (ii), as applicable, the “Independent Accountant”), make a binding determination only as to the disputed items and amounts in the Closing Statement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Independent Accountant will, under the terms of its engagement, (A) act as an expert and not an arbitrator and (B) have no more than 30 days from the date of referral within which to render its written decision with respect to such disputed items and amounts. The Independent Accountant shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Statement as to which the Parties are in disagreement. The Independent Accountant shall deliver to the Parties a written report setting forth its adjustments, if any, to the Closing Statement based on the Independent Accountant’s determination with respect to the disputed items and amounts in accordance with this Agreement based solely on the written submissions of the Parties and not an independent review, and the Accounting Principles and such report shall include the calculations supporting such adjustments; provided that the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value

31

for such item claimed by one of the Parties or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by one of the Parties. Such report shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated to be paid by Buyer and Seller in inverse proportion (based on the disputed amounts proposed by each to the Independent Accountant) as they may each prevail on matters resolved by the Independent Accountant, which proportionate allocations and resulting fee allocation shall also be determined by the Independent Accountant at the time the determination of the Independent Accountant is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. Promptly after any matter is referred to the Independent Accountant under this Section 3.5(e), the Parties shall deliver to the Independent Accountant copies of any schedules or documentation that may reasonably be required or requested by the Independent Accountant to make its determination. Each of Buyer and Seller shall be entitled to submit to the Independent Accountant a memorandum setting forth its position with respect to the disputed items, which shall also be provided to the other Party. No Party shall be permitted to communicate with the Independent Accountant other than as expressly set forth herein, and no ex parte communications with the Independent Accountant shall be permitted in any event.

(f) The date on which the Closing Statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.5 shall be referred to as the “Determination Date,” the Closing Statement as so finally determined shall be referred to as the “Final Closing Statement,” and each of the Closing Business Cash, the Closing Business Indebtedness, the Closing Net Working Capital and the Purchase Price, each as so finally determined in the Final Closing Statement, shall be referred to as the “Final Business Cash,” the “Final Business Indebtedness,” the “Final Closing Net Working Capital” and the “Final Purchase Price,” respectively.

(g) Within five Business Days following the Determination Date, (i) if the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price (the amount of such excess, the “Negative Adjustment Amount”), Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Buyer the Negative Adjustment Amount, (ii) if the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price (the amount of such excess, the “Positive Adjustment Amount”), Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller the Positive Adjustment Amount, or (iii) if the Estimated Purchase Price neither exceeds nor is less than the Final Purchase Price, neither Party shall pay, or caused to be paid, any amount to the other Party in connection therewith. Any payment under this Section 3.5(g) shall be payable in United States dollars in immediately available federal funds and delivered to such bank account or accounts as shall be designated in writing by the receiving party; provided that if any portion of the Negative Adjustment Amount or Positive Adjustment Amount (or interest thereon) is required under applicable Law to be paid in a currency other than United States dollars and/or to a specific Other Seller or Other Buyer, such applicable United States dollar amount shall be converted into the applicable other currency at the Designated Exchange Rate (if so required) and paid by, or on behalf of, Buyer or Seller (as applicable) to the other (or the appropriate Other Buyer or Other Seller, as applicable) by wire transfer to one or more bank accounts designated in writing by Buyer or Seller (as applicable) no later than the third Business Day prior to the date of payment (or such later time as may be agreed by Seller and Buyer) in lieu of the payment of such amount in United States dollars pursuant to this Section 3.5(g).

(h) The process set forth in Section 3.5(e) shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties for any disputes related to any amounts set forth on the Closing Statement.

Section 3.6 Employee Payments. Buyer shall pay, or cause the applicable Employing Entity to pay, the Change of Control Bonuses and the portion of the Fixed Cash LTI Awards vested in accordance with Section 6.6(f) no later than the applicable Employing Entity’s next regularly scheduled payroll run following Closing (or such other regularly scheduled payroll run following Closing as mutually agreed between the Parties), in each case, less applicable Tax withholdings, to the applicable recipients thereof. Payment of such amounts, less applicable Tax withholdings, to the applicable recipients thereof shall be made by the applicable Employing Entity through customary payroll process, and Buyer shall timely remit, or cause the applicable Employing Entity to timely remit, such withheld Taxes to the appropriate Taxing Authority on behalf of the applicable recipient. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not, nor shall it permit any Employing Entity to, impose any condition upon the payment of such amounts to the recipients thereof.

Section 3.7 Withholding.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party (for purposes of this Section 3.7, including the Other Sellers and Other Buyers) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Law (such Party that deducts and withholds, the “Withholding Party”); provided, however, that the Withholding Party will, prior to any such deduction or withholding (other than any such deduction or withholding imposed on compensatory payments contemplated by this Agreement or imposed due to a failure by Seller or an Other Seller to provide any form or other documentation required by Section 7.3(e)), (i) provide advance written notice of at least five calendar days to the person with respect to which the deduction or withholding is made (the “Withheld Party”) of any anticipated withholding, (ii) consult with the Withheld Party in good faith to determine whether such deduction and withholding is required under applicable Law, and (iii) cooperate with the Withheld Party to minimize, in accordance with applicable Laws, the amount of any applicable deduction or withholding. The Withholding Party shall timely pay the full amount so deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Authority, in accordance with applicable Law. As soon as practicable after any such payment, the Withholding Party shall deliver to the other Party the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Taxing Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such other Party.

(b) To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld under this Section 3.7, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as having been paid by the Withholding Party to the Withheld Party to the extent so paid to the appropriate Taxing Authority.

There are no (x) internal investigations regarding any accounting practices of Seller, the Other Sellers and the Purchased Entities as such practices relate to the Business that would be material to the Business, or, (y) to the knowledge of Seller, governmental inquiries or investigations pending or threatened in writing, in each case, regarding any accounting practices of Seller, the Other Sellers and the Purchased Entities as such practices relate to the Business.

Section 6.6 Employee Relations and Benefits.

(a) A census of Business Employees dated as of July 17, 2024 (the “Business Employee Census”), reflecting the information set forth in Section 4.12(q) and listing any individuals who have accepted offers of employment and would be Business Employees but have not yet commenced employment, has been made available to Buyer; provided, however, that Seller shall update (and provide to Buyer) the Business Employee Census from time to time until the Closing in order to maintain the accuracy of the Business Employee Census, including providing a complete, accurate and final Business Employee Census three Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Final Business Employee Census”). The Final Business Employee Census shall also list (x) the information set forth in Section 4.12(q) for any individuals who have accepted offers of employment and would be Business Employees but have not yet commenced employment and (y) any individuals who have received offers of employment to become Business Employees but have not yet accepted, including the terms of such offers.

(b) Within a reasonable period of time (but not less than 15 Business Days) prior to the expected Closing Date, Buyer shall, and Seller shall provide all reasonable assistance and co-operation (and procure that each of their respective Subsidiaries provides such assistance and co-operation) in order to (where applicable) cause any appropriate Employing Entity to, make a Compliant Offer (which cooperation and assistance on the part of Seller may include, where relevant, a tripartite agreement between any relevant Business Employee, his or her current employer and proposed Employing Entity or any other employee transfer mechanism which is mutually agreed between Buyer and Seller in relation to any relevant Business Employee) to each of the Business Employees to take effect on the Closing Date, other than (i) any Automatic Transferred Employees, (ii) any Business Employees already employed by a Purchased Entity (each, an “Existing Purchased Entity Employee”), and (iii) any other Business Employees who may be transferred to Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including a Purchased Entity) on the Closing Date without the need for a Compliant Offer (an “Alternative Transfer Method”) under applicable Law as agreed in writing between Buyer and Seller (each acting reasonably) (with any Business Employee who falls within scope of this clause (iii) being an “Alternative Transfer Employee”). In relation to any Alternative Transfer Employee, between the date of this Agreement and Closing, Buyer and Seller shall provide all reasonable assistance and co-operation (and procure that each of their respective Subsidiaries provides such assistance and co-operation) in order to seek to agree and implement the terms of any relevant Alternative Transfer Method. Each Business Employee who receives and accepts (or, in the case of Business Employees employed in a state of the United States that prohibits salary history inquiries, does not reject) a Compliant Offer made in accordance with this Agreement and who commences employment with an Employing Entity pursuant to such offer of employment and each other Existing Purchased Entity Employee, Automatic Transferred Employee and Alternative Transfer Employee who, in each case, is employed by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including any Purchased Entity) as at Closing, is referred to herein as a “Continuing Employee” Each Continuing Employee who is based in the United States is referred to as a “U.S. Continuing Employee,” and each Continuing Employee who is based outside of the United States is referred to as a “Non-U.S. Continuing Employee”. Buyer, if applicable, and each Affiliate of Buyer (including, following the Closing, a Purchased Entity) that employs a Continuing Employee is referred to herein as an “Employing Entity.” Each Business Employee who receives an offer of employment from an Employing Entity in accordance with this Agreement that complies with this Section 6.6 (a “Compliant Offer”), excluding (A) each Automatic Transferred Employee and Existing Purchased Entity Employee, (B) each Business Employee who would have otherwise been an Automatic Transferred Employee but who objects to the automatic transfer of his or her employment to an Employing Entity by operation of Law and (C) each Alternative Transfer Employee, is referred to herein as an “Offer Recipient Employee.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in each case except as required by applicable Law, any Offer Recipient Employee who is on an authorized leave of absence or disability leave on the date Compliant Offers are extended shall receive an offer that is conditioned on such Offer Recipient Employee’s return to work at the conclusion of the absence, but in no event later than the later of (x) 12 months following the first day

71

of the absence and (y) six months following the Closing (or such later date as is required by applicable Law), with such employment to commence upon such return, unless otherwise prescribed by applicable Law. Nothing herein will be construed as a representation or guarantee by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries that (I) some or all of the Business Employees will accept an offer of employment with an Employing Entity or acquiesce to the transfer of their employment (whether by operation of Law or otherwise), or (II) some or all of the Continuing Employees will continue in employment with an Employing Entity or any of its Affiliates for any period of time following the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at or prior to the Closing, Seller and its Subsidiaries have entered into, or shall enter into, on behalf of the Business, or Buyer shall enter into (if mutually agreed by the parties), one or more Employer of Record Agreements (collectively, the “EOR Agreements”) pursuant to which the applicable counterparty to such EOR Agreements shall become the “employer of record” with respect to Business Employees located in the jurisdictions set forth on Schedule 6.6(b) of the Disclosure Letter. Subject to the terms of any applicable EOR Agreement and applicable Law, any such Business Employees shall be entitled to receive the same compensation and benefits as the other Business Employees as provided in this Section 6.6. Any EOR Agreements entered into by Seller or its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be Assigned Contracts pursuant to this Agreement, and the rights and obligations of Seller thereunder shall be transferred, assigned and assumed by Buyer at the Closing.

(c) Pursuant to this Section 6.6, Buyer shall cause any relevant Employing Entity to present its terms and conditions of employment (including terms and conditions in respect of post-Closing compensation and benefits) to each Offer Recipient Employee, which terms and conditions will be consistent with the provisions of this Section 6.6. Buyer agrees that each Compliant Offer made pursuant to this Section 6.6 will provide for employment, and that it shall otherwise cause any Employing Entity to provide for employment for all Continuing Employees during the time periods described in clauses (i)-(v) of this sentence (or such shorter period as such Continuing Employee remains an employee of such Employing Entity following the Closing) in accordance with this Section 6.6(c), (i) during the 12-month period that begins as of the Closing, at the same general location in accordance with applicable Law at which such Business Employee was employed immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) during the calendar year in which Closing occurs, with base salary or wages that shall be not less than that in effect prior to the Closing, (iii) during the calendar year in which Closing occurs, with an annual cash target bonus opportunity that shall be substantially comparable to that in effect immediately prior to the Closing, (iv) during the 12-month period that begins as of the Closing, with severance benefits not less favorable than those provided under Seller’s severance policy applicable to such Business Employee in effect as of the date hereof and (v) during the 12-month period that begins as of the Closing, with other employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the other such employee benefits provided to similarly situated employees of the applicable Employing Entity (or if there are no similarly situated employees of the applicable Employing Entity, similarly situated employees of Buyer), but, in each case, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as required by Law, specifically excluding (1) defined benefit pension benefits, (2) liquidity, sale bonus, transaction, retention, change of control bonus plans or similar arrangements and (3) equity, restricted stock units, performance stock units, stock options or any other equity-based compensation or awards. Between the Agreement Date and the Closing Date, any communications between Buyer and its Affiliates and any Business Employees regarding the terms of employment, employee benefits or otherwise regarding employment with Buyer and its Affiliates following the Closing will be conducted at the times and through the processes mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer and in accordance with applicable Law. Furthermore, until the Closing, Buyer shall consult with Seller and obtain Seller’s consent before distributing any material communications to any Business Employee relating to employee benefits or post-Closing terms of employment.

72

(d) The Parties intend that the transactions contemplated hereunder will, wherever applicable, constitute a relevant transfer for the purposes of the Transfer Regulations in relation to each relevant Automatic Transferred Employee. Accordingly, the transactions hereunder will not operate so as to terminate the contract of employment of any relevant Automatic Transferred Employee, such that the contract of employment of each relevant Automatic Transferred Employee (except for any terms excluded under the Transfer Regulations) shall be transferred to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including any relevant Purchased Entity) with effect from the Closing, subject to any objection to such transfer by any relevant Automatic Transferred Employee pursuant to the Transfer Regulations.

(e) Buyer shall be permitted to propose any Measures which Buyer (acting reasonably) considers are necessary in relation to any relevant Automatic Transferred Employee. Buyer undertakes to provide sufficient details of any such Measures as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement so as to enable Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to discharge its or their obligations under the Acquired Rights Directive to consult about any such Measures pursuant to the Acquired Rights Directive with any applicable Automatic Transferred Employee or his or her representatives. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Measure can have the purpose or effect of defeating any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement which are in place to protect the overall terms and conditions of employment of the Automatic Transferred Employee.

(f) At the Effective Time, all Fixed Cash LTI Awards and all Equity Awards held by Business Employees that are outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Unvested Awards”) shall be automatically terminated and cancelled for no consideration in accordance with the terms of such Unvested Awards, unless Seller has determined, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the vesting of some portion of such Unvested Awards; provided that if some portion of such Unvested Awards are accelerated, the Business Employees holding (i) such accelerated Fixed Cash LTI Awards shall be entitled to receive the cash amount applicable thereto, (ii) such accelerated Equity Awards shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Seller common stock underlying such accelerated Equity Awards (or the cash settlement value of the same), in each case, subject to applicable required Tax withholdings and (iii) Seller shall have sole responsibility for the amounts payable in respect of such accelerated Unvested Awards (including any Employer Side Taxes thereon).

(g) Buyer or the applicable Employing Entity shall credit each Continuing Employee the amount of accrued and unpaid hours of vacation (to the extent permitted by Law), personal hours, PTO or days earned and sick leave as of or prior to the Closing and any other leave required to be credited by Law applicable to such Continuing Employee (collectively referred to herein as such Continuing Employee’s “accrued PTO”) to the extent that Seller delivers to Buyer an accurate accounting of accrued PTO for Continuing Employees as of the Closing.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that (i) the applicable Laws of any jurisdiction, including any applicable Transfer Regulations or (ii) any collective bargaining agreement or other agreement with a works council or economic committee would obligate Buyer or its Subsidiaries to provide any more favorable terms of employment to any Non-U.S. Continuing Employee than those otherwise provided for by this Section 6.6 (or modify the period of time for which such standards are met) in connection with the Purchase Transaction or other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, then Buyer will, or will cause one of Buyer’s Subsidiaries to, provide such Non-U.S. Continuing Employee with such more favorable terms on and from the Closing Date, and otherwise provide terms of employment in accordance with this Section 6.6 (provided, that, at any time following the end of any applicable time period set forth in Section 6.6(c)(i)-(v), the parties agree that Buyer or any of its relevant Affiliates shall have discretion to seek to implement any changes to any Non-U.S. Continuing Employee’s or U.S. Continuing Employee’s terms and conditions of employment as Buyer may elect from time to time). Subject to applicable Law, the Parties intend that the Continuing Employees shall have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing Date, for all purposes including years of services for statutory and non-statutory severance and other termination indemnities, and Seller shall cause (with respect to all periods before the Closing Date) and

73

Buyer shall cause (with respect to periods on or after the Closing Date) each applicable Employing Entity to comply with any requirements under applicable Law to ensure the same; provided that the foregoing shall in no event be deemed to expand the obligations of an Employing Entity with respect to the provision of (or the terms of) compensation, bonus amounts or benefits to any Business Employee.

(i) Seller shall be responsible for all Deal Related Severance; provided, however, that Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall perform and discharge, or cause to be performed and discharged, all Liabilities that arise out of the employment or the termination of employment by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries of the Continuing Employees (including any Automatic Transferred Employees, Existing Purchased Entity Employees and Alternative Transfer Employees who are Continuing Employees) upon and following the Closing, including, in each case, any Taxes imposed on the employer as a result thereof, to the extent such amounts do not constitute Deal Related Severance or that are triggered as a result of actions taken by Buyer after the Closing.

(j) Claims incurred by Continuing Employees (and covered dependents) at or prior to Closing under all Seller Benefit Plans that provide medical, dental and vision benefit plans, workers compensation and life insurance plans, disability plans and other welfare plans (but for clarification, not under any form of retirement or pension plan) shall, to the extent covered under the terms and conditions of such Seller Benefit Plans, be paid under such Seller Benefit Plans notwithstanding the Closing, and the Continuing Employees or covered dependents shall be considered participants in such plans with regard to such claims. Expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred by Continuing Employees or their covered dependents after the Closing and expenses and benefits payable under any Assumed Benefit Plan, shall be the responsibility of Buyer (other than in relation to the UK DB Plan to the extent that the UK DB Plan is an Assumed Benefit Plan). For purposes of this Section 6.6(j), a claim is deemed incurred: (i) in the case of medical, vision or dental benefits, when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed; (ii) in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs; (iii) in the case of short-term or long-term disability benefits, when the disability occurs; (iv) in the case of workers compensation benefits, when the event giving rise to the benefits occurs; and (v) otherwise, at the time the Business Employee or covered dependent becomes entitled to payment of a benefit (assuming that all procedural requirements are satisfied and claims applications properly and timely completed and submitted).

(k) Buyer will (in the year that includes the Closing, or, if later, when such Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate in the applicable Buyer Benefit Plans under the terms of the Transition Services Agreement) use reasonable best efforts to cause each benefit plan of Buyer and its Affiliates for Continuing Employees in which they are eligible to participate and that is a health or welfare benefit plan (including the Assumed Benefit Plans, the “Buyer Benefit Plans”), to the extent permissible under the applicable Plan, to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and service conditions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to Continuing Employees and (ii) with respect to any medical plan, waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Continuing Employee.

(l) Other than in relation to the UK DB Plan, from and after the Closing, subject to applicable Law, Buyer shall cause the applicable Employing Entity to, with respect to their benefit plans in which a Continuing Employee participates (which, following the Closing, includes Assumed Benefit Plans), provide credit for such Continuing Employee’s length of service with Seller and its Subsidiaries (including any length of service with any entity acquired by Seller or any such Subsidiary) for purposes of eligibility, participation, vesting and benefit accrual under such plan, program, policy or arrangement, including severance policies, each to the extent permissible under the applicable Buyer Benefit Plan, except that such prior service credit will not be required to the extent that it results in a duplication of benefits and shall not be considered for any purpose under any plans listed in clauses (1) through (3) of Section 6.6(c) above.

74

(m) Buyer or the applicable Employing Entity shall be responsible for all Liabilities with respect to U.S. Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents, in respect of health insurance under COBRA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Sections 601, et seq. and Sections 701, et seq. of ERISA, Section 4980B and Sections 9801, et seq. of the Code and applicable state or similar Laws. Seller shall also be solely responsible for any continuation coverage required by COBRA for Business Employees who are not Continuing Employees, and their qualified beneficiaries, whose termination occurs on or prior to Closing.

(n) Without limiting the provisions of this Section 6.6 and as identified on Schedule 6.6(n) to the Disclosure Letter, (i) with respect to the fiscal year of Seller in which the Closing occurs and with respect to each Continuing Employee who remains employed as of the applicable payment date, Buyer shall, or shall cause the applicable Employing Entity of such Continuing Employee to, make a bonus payment to such Continuing Employee equal to the bonus amount accrued or reflected or otherwise taken into account in the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital with respect to such Continuing Employee, if any, which bonus payment shall be made not later than the same time or times Seller pays employee bonuses in the ordinary course of business, and (ii) with respect to any Seller sales and commission plans in effect as of the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause the applicable Employing Entity of such Continuing Employee to, make a sales or commission payment to such Continuing Employee equal to the sales or commission amount accrued or reflected or otherwise taken into account in the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital with respect to such Continuing Employee, if any, which payment shall be made no later than the same time or times Seller pays such sales and commission payments in the ordinary course of business, in each case, subject to any relevant continued employment or service requirements applicable to such payments.

(o) Following the Agreement Date and for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, each of Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts in all matters necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.6 and the requirements of any applicable Law or Transfer Regulations and shall provide, and shall cause each of their respective Representatives, including legal, human resources and regulatory compliance personnel, to provide, all cooperation reasonably requested by the other Party in that regard, including, (i) cooperating and providing each other with all necessary and reasonable assistance and information to ensure that any works councils or committees, trade unions and/or employee representatives applicable to the Non-U.S. Continuing Employees are provided with the information required in order for proper consultation, notification and other required processes under applicable Law to take place and conducting such consultations, notifications and other required processes, as necessary, (ii) exchanging information and data, including reports prepared in connection with bonus plan participation and related data of Continuing Employees, relating to workers’ compensation, and employee benefits and employee benefit plan coverages (in each case, except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law or to the extent that such information and data relates to performance ratings or assessments of employees of Seller and its Subsidiaries), making any and all required filings and notices, making any and all required communications with Business Employees and obtaining any approvals or similar from any Governmental Authority required with respect to the actions contemplated by this Section 6.6 and (iii) otherwise consult with and consider in good faith the recommendations of the other Party with respect to the actions contemplated by this Section 6.6. Such cooperation shall include the provision of any information and consultation required by applicable Law or Transfer Regulations (which shall include, if applicable, in the case of Buyer, information required by the Acquired Rights Directive regarding any Measures Buyer envisages it will take with respect to any Automatic Transferred Employees at or after Closing) or the terms of any Contract, or with any works council, economic committee, union or similar body. Each of Seller and Buyer will make available its Representatives at such times and in such places as the other Party may reasonably request for purposes of discussions with representatives of any such works council, economic committee, union or similar body.

75

(p) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to take any action they are legally required to take in order to comply with local employment Laws.

(q) The provisions of this Section 6.6 are for the sole benefit of the Parties and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to (i) constitute an employment agreement, (ii) confer upon or give to any Person, other than the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 6.6 under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement, or (iii) prohibit Buyer (or any of its Subsidiaries) from terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee following the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any Business Employee be deemed to be a third party beneficiary, or otherwise entitled to enforce, any provision of this Agreement (other than, to the extent expressly set forth therein, Section 6.9). Further, without limiting the generality of this Section 6.6, nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be treated as an amendment to, or be construed as amending, any Seller Benefit Plan, Buyer Benefit Plan, or other benefit plan, program or agreement sponsored, maintained or contributed to by any Seller, any Purchased Entity, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 6.7 Insurance Matters.

(a) After the Closing Date, upon request of Buyer, Seller or its applicable Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including filing claims on behalf of the Business) to facilitate coverage under the relevant Seller Occurrence Policy, to the extent such policy remains in effect, for applicable Insurance Claims in substantially the same manner as similar claims are processed at the time Buyer requests such coverage, 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 Affiliates receive any proceeds under a Seller Occurrence Policy with respect to any Insurance Claim covered thereby, and (ii) the amount of, or loss subject to, such claim (x) has been paid or incurred by the Business following the Closing and (y) was not reflected in the calculation of amounts set forth on the Closing Statement, Seller or its applicable Affiliates shall promptly pay or reimburse Buyer the amount of such proceeds to the extent related to the Business in accordance with this Section 6.7; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller be required to pay or reimburse Buyer in amount in excess of the proceeds actually received by Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) unearned premiums with respect to the Seller Occurrence Policies shall be Excluded Assets, (y) Buyer shall be responsible for providing all information necessary to make such claim or to respond to requests for the applicable insurer, (z) in no event shall Seller or its Subsidiaries be obligated to commence or threaten to commence any Proceeding in connection with such cooperation.

(b) Buyer shall reimburse Seller or its applicable Subsidiaries for any third-party out-of-pocket administrative and processing fees or other third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses imposed by the insurer and paid by them specifically relating to the submitted Insurance Claims and the processing thereof, and Buyer shall exclusively bear (and neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse Buyer for) any reasonable documented expenses of Seller and its Subsidiaries incurred in procuring recovery under an Insurance Claim (the “Reimbursed Amounts”). The parties hereto agree that (i) Seller will invoice Buyer on a monthly basis for all Reimbursed Amounts paid or incurred by Seller or its applicable Subsidiaries with appropriate supporting details, and (ii) Buyer will pay the amount reflected on such invoices as promptly as practicable and in any event within 20 Business Days of receipt of any such invoice with appropriate supporting details.

(c) In the event that, after the Closing, a Purchased Entity or any of its Representatives, in each case, 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, Buyer shall as promptly as practicable notify Seller in writing as to what action or failure of action caused a suspension of coverage. Buyer shall have 45 days after obtaining knowledge of such action or failure of action to cause the applicable Purchased Entity to remedy such action or failure of action. If no remedy has been effected at the end of such 45-day period (or such longer period as may be agreed in writing by the parties hereto acting reasonably), then Seller’s or its applicable Subsidiary’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.7 solely with respect to such Insurance Claim shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. Buyer 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 Business 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 Affiliates intend to remove the Business and the Purchased Entities from the Seller Occurrence Policies to the extent that the Seller Occurrence Policies relate to any occurrences first arising at any time after the Closing Date. Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that coverage under the Seller Occurrence Policies will not be available to the Purchased Entities with respect to any injury, loss, or damage that the Purchased Entities or any third party may suffer as a result of any act, omission, occurrence, fact, or circumstance to the extent occurring with respect to any period after the Closing Date.

(e) Buyer acknowledges that, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for securing all insurance it considers appropriate for the Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities, Purchased Entities and its operation of the Business.

(f) This Section 6.7 shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any Seller Occurrence Policy or as a contract of insurance, and nothing in this Section 6.7 is intended to waive or abrogate in any way Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’ rights to insurance coverage for any Liability, whether relating to Seller, any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise.

(g) For the purpose of this Section 6.7:

(i) “Insurance Claim” means any claim (x) under a Seller Occurrence Policy and (y) arising from facts, events or circumstances that occurred or were alleged to have occurred prior to the Closing Date.

(ii) “Seller Occurrence Policy” means insurance coverage provided by third-party insurers for the Business, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries covering occurrences prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.8 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Indemnification.

(i) Seller shall, for the avoidance of doubt without duplication with any obligations pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses arising out of, related to, or resulting from, without duplication (A)(1) Taxes for which the Purchased Entities are liable attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (2) Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Purchased Assets attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and (3) Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (B) Transfer Taxes that Seller is responsible for under this Section 6.8, (C) Taxes arising out of, related to, or resulting from any failure to comply with any covenant or agreement under this Agreement by Seller or its Affiliates (including any obligation to cause the Purchased

77

Entities to take, or refrain from taking, any action under this Agreement prior to the Closing), (D) Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) arising as a result of the Restructuring Activities (other than the Closing Steps) that are attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (provided, that, the use of net operating losses and other Tax attributes of the Purchased Entities in connection therewith are not indemnifiable by Seller hereunder and do not otherwise constitute Indemnified Tax Liabilities), (E) any Taxes of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Entities) for any period for which Buyer or any of the Purchased Entities is liable, including as a withholding agent or transferee and including any indirect capital gains Taxes imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (F) Taxes of any Person imposed on a Purchased Entity pursuant to Section 1.1502-6 of the Treasury Regulations or any similar provision of applicable state, local or non-U.S. Law by virtue of any Purchased Entity having been a member of a consolidated, combined, affiliated, unitary or other similar Tax group at any time prior to the Closing, (G) Taxes for which a Purchased Entity is liable as a transferee or successor, or by reason of law or a Contract entered into prior to the Closing (other than a Contract entered into in the ordinary course of business the primary purpose of which does not relate to Taxes), if such Taxes are imposed on the Purchased Entity as a result of any action taken by or transaction entered into by the Purchased Entity (or Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates) prior to the Closing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes imposed as the result of any Purchased Entity ceasing to be a member of a consolidated, combined, unitary or similar Tax group), and (H) Taxes that are attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period arising out of, related to or resulting from the settlement of intercompany accounts or intercompany arrangements pursuant to Section 6.16, in each case, other than Transfer Taxes that Buyer is responsible for under this Section 6.8 and Taxes (I) arising out of any breach of any covenant made by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, (II) arising out of any action taken outside the ordinary course of business by Buyer or any of its Affiliates on the Closing Date but following the Closing, except to the extent such action was expressly contemplated by this Agreement, or (III) specifically taken into account in the calculation of the Purchase Price or actually recovered under the R&W Insurance Policy (less any reasonable expenses (including any Taxes or the use of any Tax benefit (provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, any change in Tax basis resulting from such recovery shall not be considered use of a Tax benefit)) incurred in procuring any such recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy) (collectively, the items set forth in clauses (A)-(H) of this sentence, subject to the exclusions set forth in clauses (I)-(III) of this sentence, the “Indemnified Tax Liabilities”). Notwithstanding that a claim for Taxes or Losses may fall into multiple categories of this Section 6.8(a)(i), the Buyer Indemnified Parties may recover such Taxes and Losses one time only.

(ii) For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall be responsible for and shall pay any and all Losses arising out of, related to, or resulting from (A) Taxes imposed on the Purchased Assets attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Periods, (B) Taxes of the Purchased Entities attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Periods, (C) Taxes arising out of any breach of any covenant made by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and (D) Transfer Taxes that the Buyer is responsible for under this Section 6.8.

(iii) In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, including for purposes of determining Taxes reflected in the Purchase Price and any liability for Taxes or entitlement to refunds under this Section 6.8, shall be deemed to be (A) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date (except the numerator shall be the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the day before the Closing Date in the case of the calculation of Taxes included in Net Working Capital) and the denominator of which is the number

78

of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period, and (B) in the case of Taxes not described in clause (A) of this Section 6.8(a)(iii) (such as franchise Taxes or Taxes that are based on or related to income or receipts), the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined as if such Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date (or immediately prior to the Effective Time in the case of the calculation of Taxes included in Net Working Capital), and for the avoidance of doubt, after taking into account any Restructuring Activities, based on an interim closing of the books method (and with respect to the allocation of Taxes attributable to any Purchased Entity that is or that holds an interest in a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code or any partnership or other passthrough entity, the amount of Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined as if the taxable period of such controlled foreign corporation, partnership or other pass-through entity terminated as of the end of the Closing Date (and for the avoidance of doubt, after taking into account any Restructuring Activities), and any Taxes that are attributable to economic activity of a Purchased Entity (or controlled foreign corporation or pass-through entity) occurring prior to the Closing Date that are imposed in connection with Sections 706, 951 or 951A of the Code shall be considered Taxes imposed on such entity and attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods with respect to such entity (even if such Taxes are imposed on an entity that is not a Purchased Entity in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing) (provided, however, that such calculation with respect to Taxes imposed in connection with Sections 706, 951 or 951A of the Code shall take into account available credits, deductions, other offsets, and permitted elections and exclusions, in each case calculated or determined as if such Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date, to the maximum extent permitted by law consistent with a “more likely than not” or higher level of comfort (which, in the event the Parties disagree, then Section 6.8(f)(iii) shall apply in the case of such disagreement) including the election to apply the exception for certain income subject to high foreign taxes under Section 954(b)(4) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.954-1(d)(5), the election to apply the high-tax exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.951A-2(c)(7), the deduction for the net deemed tangible income return as defined in Section 951A(b)(2) of the Code and any deduction pursuant to Section 250 of the Code without regard to whether any such election is actually made)); provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction Tax Deductions shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date.

(b) Transfer Taxes.

(i) Contingent on the occurrence of Closing, any Liability for Transfer Taxes payable in connection with the consummation of the Purchase Transaction and the transfer of the Purchased Shares and the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer Taxes arising from the Restructuring Activities, which shall be borne by Seller in their entirety) shall be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller, and any Liability for Transfer Taxes payable in connection with the Restructuring Activities shall be borne 100% by Seller (and Seller shall be deemed to have borne, and Buyer not to have borne, all such amounts to the extent reflected as a liability in the Purchase Price).

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 6.8(b)(i), any Liability for Transfer Taxes payable in connection with the transfer of Andrew Wireless UK Ltd., CommScope Design & Integration UK Limited, CommScope Technologies AG, CommScope Wireless Systems AG and CommScope France S.A.R.L. pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne 100% by Buyer up to $1,500,000 in the aggregate and any additional amounts shall be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller.

79

(iii) The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to minimize the amount of Transfer Taxes payable in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (including the Restructuring Activities and the Closing Steps) and the other Transaction Documents, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to claim any available exemption or relief and to promptly execute and file any invoices, forms or certificates reasonably required. The Parties shall provide each other with any information reasonably requested in order to comply with applicable Transfer Tax Laws, where such information is connected with the treatment of or position with respect to Transfer Taxes in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Restructuring Activities and the Closing Steps) and the other Transaction Documents.

(iv) Each of Seller and Buyer shall prepare and timely file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation required to be filed by such Party with respect to all Transfer Taxes arising in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Restructuring Activities and the Closing Steps) and the other Transaction Documents, consistently with the amount of such Transfer Taxes as determined pursuant to this Section 6.8(b), and, if required by applicable Law, the Parties will, and will cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(v) As between Buyer and Seller, the determination of the amount of any Transfer Taxes (including whether any exemption from (or reduction in or credit for) Transfer Taxes is available) required to be paid with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Restructuring Activities and the Closing Steps) and the other Transaction Documents shall be made by Seller in good faith in its reasonable discretion in consultation with Buyer; provided that the amount of any Transfer Taxes required to be paid 100% by Buyer under Section 6.8(b)(ii) (including whether any exemption from (or reduction in or credit for) such Transfer Taxes is available) shall be made by Buyer in good faith in its reasonable discretion in consultation with Seller. In the event Buyer reasonably disagrees with Seller’s determination with respect to any such Transfer Tax and obtains prior to the applicable due date of the applicable Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes an opinion of a nationally recognized tax counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, in the applicable jurisdiction and addressed to Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, and not to Seller, but a copy of which is provided to Seller) that Buyer’s position is “more likely than not” or at a higher confidence level to prevail, Buyer’s position shall control and the Parties shall file the applicable Tax Returns consistent with such opinion.

(vi) Without limiting the indemnification rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to Transfer Taxes, unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise, any Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with any Transfer Taxes required to be paid with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Restructuring Activities and the Closing Steps) and the other Transaction Documents shall be prepared and filed by the Party required by Law to file such Tax Returns, and such Party shall pay the Transfer Taxes shown on such Tax Return within the period specified by applicable Law. The filing party shall provide the other Party with a draft copy of such Tax Return which it is required to file (and for which any Taxes thereon are the responsibility of the other Party as determined pursuant to this Section 6.8(b), and in the case of Seller, taking into account any such Taxes specifically reflected in the calculation of the Purchase Price or recovered under the R&W Insurance Policy less any reasonable expenses (including any Taxes or the use of any Tax benefit (provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, any change in Tax basis resulting from such recovery shall not be considered use of a Tax benefit)), at least seven Business Days before such Tax Returns are due to be filed and shall consider in good faith any comments provided by such other Party; provided that

80

failure to so provide such Tax Return will not relieve the other Party of any liability that it may have to the filing Party for payment of Taxes hereunder, except to the extent that the non-filing Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. All such Tax Returns shall be consistent with the Allocation Statement (or the Allocation Methodology (and if applicable the Preliminary Allocation Statement) in the event that such Tax Returns are due prior to finalization of the Allocation Statement), as applicable. Buyer and Seller shall settle any of their obligations for any Liability for Transfer Taxes paid by the other party for which they are liable pursuant to this Section 6.8(b) within ten Business Days of being invoiced by the other Party for such amount.

(c) Additional VAT Matters.

(i) The Parties intend that the transfer of the Business in each jurisdiction pursuant to this Agreement will be treated, so far as permitted by applicable Law, as a transfer of a business as a going concern for VAT purposes and, accordingly, Buyer and its Subsidiaries and Seller and its Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to obtain an exemption or other relief from any VAT to the extent permitted by applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, ensuring to the extent permitted that the applicable transaction is treated as neither a supply of services nor a supply of goods for purposes of VAT).

(ii) Without limiting the application of Section 6.8(b), if the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (including the Restructuring Activities and the Closing Steps) and the other Transaction Documents are subject to VAT, Seller or the relevant Other Asset Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to prepare and promptly file the appropriate VAT documentation in a timely manner with the applicable Taxing Authority. Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable best efforts and cooperate in good faith to determine the appropriate rate of VAT.

(iii) At the Closing where the Purchased Assets include an interest in real property and the direct or indirect transfer of such Purchased Assets is, or is treated as not being liable to VAT, Buyer and Seller will cooperate to the extent permitted by Law to ensure that the transfer of such real property interest qualifies for such treatment.

(i) Except as provided in Section 6.8(b) or Section 6.8(c), Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and duly file or cause to be duly filed, all Seller-Signed Tax Returns in a timely manner with the appropriate Taxing Authorities; provided that (A) all Seller-Signed Tax Returns of any Purchased Entity shall (to the extent related to the Purchased Shares, Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities or the Business) be prepared using accounting methods and other practices that are consistent with those used in the Tax Returns filed prior to the Closing and in accordance with the agreements in this Section 6.8 and Section 3.3, as applicable (in each case, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or to correct any clear errors), (B) Seller shall provide Buyer with a draft copy of each such Seller-Signed Tax Return at least 20 Business Days before the due date for the filing of such Tax Return (including extensions) (or (x) as soon as reasonably practicable in the case of any such Seller-Signed Tax Return due less than 20 Business Days after the Closing Date and (y) if such Tax Return is not an income Tax Return, as soon as reasonably practicable prior to the due date for timely filing), (C) Seller shall consider in good faith any comments provided by Buyer within five Business Days after receipt of the draft from Seller (or promptly following receipt by Buyer of such draft Tax Return if such Tax Return is not an income Tax Return) and (D) Seller shall provide Buyer with a finalized copy of such Seller-Signed Tax Return. As used herein, “Seller-Signed Tax Returns” means (A) all Tax Returns relating to the Purchased Entities prepared or filed on an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary basis

81

with Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Entities) for Pre-Closing Tax Periods but which are due following the Closing (giving effect to extensions granted by right) and (B) all Tax Returns with respect to the Purchased Assets that Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Entities) are required to file.

(ii) Except as provided in Section 6.8(b) and Section 6.8(c), Buyer shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, all Buyer-Signed Tax Returns in a timely manner with the appropriate Taxing Authorities; provided that Buyer (A) shall provide Seller with a draft copy of each such Buyer-Signed Tax Return at least 20 Business Days before the due date for the filing of such Tax Return (including extensions) (or (x) as soon as reasonably practicable in the case of any such Buyer-Signed Tax Return due less than 20 Business Days after the Closing Date and (y) if such Tax Return is not an income Tax Return, as soon as reasonably practicable prior to the due date for timely filing), (B) shall consider in good faith any comments consistent with the requirements in this Section 6.8(d)(ii) provided by Seller within 10 Business Days after receipt of the draft from Buyer (or promptly following receipt by Seller of such draft Tax Return if such Tax Return is not an income Tax Return), and, if Buyer disagrees with such comments, then Section 6.8(f)(iii) shall apply in the case of such disagreement and (C) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seller with a finalized copy of such Buyer-Signed Tax Return that is an income Tax Return prior to such due date and (D) shall provide Seller with a finalized copy of such Buyer-Signed Tax Return that is not an income Tax Return; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.8, Buyer shall be entitled to file any Buyer-Signed Tax Return on the due date thereof, but shall be required to amend any such filed Buyer-Signed Tax Return if required to conform to the outcome of a dispute governed by Section 6.8(f)(iii). All Buyer-Signed Tax Returns shall (to the extent related to the Purchased Shares, Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities or the Business) be prepared using accounting methods and other practices that are consistent with those used in the Tax Returns filed prior to the Closing and in accordance with the agreements in Section 6.8 and Section 3.3, as applicable (in each case, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or to correct any clear errors). As used herein, “Buyer-Signed Tax Returns” means all Tax Returns for Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date but which are due following the Closing Date (giving effect to extensions granted by right) and Tax Returns for Straddle Periods, in each case that are of the Purchased Entities or relate to the Purchased Assets or the Business, in each case, other than Seller-Signed Tax Returns and Tax Returns provided for in Section 6.8(b) or Section 6.8(c).

(iii) With respect to each Tax Return described in this Section 6.8(d), the Party required to file such Tax Return (or cause such Tax Return to be filed) pursuant to this Section 6.8(d) (the “Tax Return Filer”) shall timely pay to the relevant Taxing Authority the amount, if any, shown as due on such Tax Return; provided that if the Tax Return Filer is not permitted to make such payment under applicable Law, then the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to arrange for such amount to be paid to the relevant Taxing Authority in a manner permitted by applicable Law; provided, further, that the obligation to make payments pursuant to this Section 6.8(d)(iii) shall not affect such Tax Return Filer’s right, if any, to receive payments under Section 6.8(d)(iv) or otherwise be indemnified under this Agreement with respect to any Taxes.

(iv) On or before the due date of any Tax Return described in this Section 6.8 (including extensions), the relevant Tax Return Filer shall notify the other Party of any amounts shown as due on such Tax Return and to be paid by such Tax Return Filer and its Affiliates, or any portions of any such amounts, for which the other Party must indemnify the Tax Return Filer under this Agreement, in each case, representing such liabilities for Taxes which are the responsibility of the applicable Party as determined pursuant to this Section 6.8, and in the case of Seller, taking into account Taxes specifically reflected in the calculation of Purchase Price or recovered under the

82

R&W Insurance Policy (less any reasonable expenses (including any Taxes or the use of any Tax benefit (provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, any change in Tax basis resulting from such recovery shall not be considered use of a Tax benefit)), and such other Party shall pay such amounts (or portions thereof) to the Tax Return Filer no later than such due date or, if later, ten Business Days after the date on which notice of such amounts (or portions thereof) is provided by the Tax Return Filer pursuant to this Section 6.8(d)(iv). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, failure of the Tax Return Filer to notify the other Party as described in the preceding sentence or provide any Tax Return prior to its filing shall not modify or affect such Tax Return Filer’s rights hereunder (including the right to indemnification for any Taxes reflected on such Tax Return) or the indemnity obligations of the other Party except to the extent failure to do so actually and materially prejudices the other Party.

(v) The Parties hereby agree that Seller (A) shall make any Tax election contemplated in the Step Plan (as amended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) to effectuate the Restructuring Activities, and (B) shall be permitted to make any election under Section 245A of the Code (including an election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.245A-5(e)(3)) with respect to any Purchased Entity that is a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code (and any corresponding or similar provisions of applicable Law), and, in each case, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate in making each such election, including entering into a written binding agreement with Seller, as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.245A-5(e)(3)(i)(C)(2), to close a controlled foreign corporation’s tax year for all purposes of the Code.

(vi) The Parties hereby agree to reasonably cooperate to determine whether (A) any election will be made with respect to any Purchased Entity under Section 338 or 336(e) of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provisions of applicable state, local or non-U.S. Law) in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or (B) to change the classification of any Purchased Entity to that of a partnership or a disregarded entity for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) Tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section  ###-###-####-3 with effect no more than one day prior to the Closing (and representations and warranties shall be deemed updated accordingly to permit such changes such that no breach thereof will be deemed to have occurred thereby) (any election described in clause (A) or (B), a “Deemed Asset Sale Election”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may, in its sole discretion, approve or reject any Deemed Asset Sale Election that is not expressly set forth in the Step Plan; provided, however, that if the election pursuant to Step 30.a of the Step Plan for Outdoor Wireless Networks LLC to be classified as a disregarded entity prior to the Closing Date is not available or invalid, Seller will cooperate with Buyer to make any election or take any action to the extent necessary to effectuate the acquisition of Outdoor Wireless Networks LLC as a deemed asset acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “Alternative Election”).

(e) Refunds. Any Party that receives or becomes entitled to (or whose Subsidiary or Affiliate receives or becomes entitled to) refunds (or credits in lieu of refunds) of or arising in connection with Taxes (i) for which the other Party paid or would be liable under Section 6.8(a), Section 6.8(b), Section 6.8(c), Section 6.8(d) or Section 6.8(g) or (ii) in the case of Seller, that are paid by or on behalf of Seller or its Subsidiaries prior to Closing or specifically reflected in the calculation of the Purchase Price (a “Refund Recipient”), shall pay to the other Party the entire amount of such refund or credit (including any interest thereon from any Taxing Authority, but net of any (A) Taxes imposed by, a Taxing Authority with respect to such refund or credit or other additional Tax payable as a result thereof, (B) reasonable and documented costs to obtain any such refund or credit and (C) reasonable and documented costs incurred in preparing any claim for such refund or credit) but only to the extent any such refund or credit (1) is not attributable to a carryback of any losses, credits or other Tax attributes from any period (or portion thereof)

83

beginning after the Closing Date, (2) is not attributable to any losses, credits or other Tax attributes relating to Buyer or its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Entities), (3) is not required to be paid over to any other Person under any Contract to which the Purchased Entities is a party as of the Closing, and (4) is not the subject of a then-pending Tax Claim. Any amount required to be paid to a Refund Recipient pursuant to this Section 6.8(e) shall be paid over to the Refund Recipient (y) in the case of a refund actually received, no more than 20 Business Days after receiving such refund and (z) in the case of a credit, no more than 20 Business Days after the filing of a Tax Return utilizing such credit to offset cash Taxes otherwise payable; provided that if such Refund Recipient is required to repay to the relevant Taxing Authority such refund or credit, the other Party shall, upon the request of such Refund Recipient, repay the amount previously paid to such other Party pursuant to this Section 6.8 in respect of such refund or credit (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Taxing Authority and attributable to such refund or credit so paid to the Refund Recipient). If a Party determines that the other Party (or one of its Affiliates) is entitled to file a claim for refund or an amended Tax Return providing for a refund (or credits in lieu of refunds) with respect to Taxes as described in the first sentence of this Section 6.8(e), then the latter Party will, if the other Party so requests and solely at such requesting party’s expense, cause such claim for refund or amended Tax Return to be filed; provided, that in the non-requesting Party’s reasonable judgment, filing or making such claim or filing such amended Tax Return would not reasonably be expected to result in any non-de minimis unreimbursed cost or adverse Tax consequences to the non-requesting Party or any of its Affiliates.

(f) Cooperation and Assistance.

(i) Except as specifically contemplated in the Step Plan, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, (A) make, revoke, or change any Tax election of the Purchased Entities or related to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Liabilities or the Business for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (B) amend, file, refile or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any applicable statute of limitations with respect to) any Seller-Signed Tax Return or Buyer-Signed Tax Return, except as contemplated in Section 6.8(d) or in connection with the resolution of any Tax Claim in accordance with Section 6.8(g), (C) initiate discussions with any Taxing Authority (including any voluntary disclosure agreement or similar process) regarding any Tax Liability of or with respect to the Purchased Entities, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Liabilities or the Business for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (D) carry back any Tax attribute, including any loss, loss carry forward, credit, credit carry forward, prepaid Tax or refund, and any claim for or right to receive any of the foregoing of any of the Purchased Entities from a Tax period ending after the Closing Date to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (E) settle, compromise or otherwise concede any Tax Claim of or with respect to the Purchased Entities, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Liabilities or the Business with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case, without Seller’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(ii) The Parties shall cooperate with each other in the filing of any Tax Returns and the conduct of any audit or other Proceeding with respect to a Tax Claim for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or which otherwise relates to Taxes addressed in this Section 6.8 or in Section 3.3 (including execution of a customary access letter if required by Seller’s or Buyer’s (as applicable) outside accountants). Without limiting the foregoing, such cooperation shall include, to the extent applicable, reasonable cooperation (i) with respect to the payment and reimbursement of any payments required in advance of challenging any Tax Claim, including any competent authority appeal, (ii) on the delivery of any required resale exemption certificates or other applicable exemption certificates, and (iii) in the event any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or the Step Plan is subject to VAT, or where a Taxing Authority determines that such transaction should not be considered a “transfer of a going concern” with respect to the payment of such VAT, to ensure that that the total amount of VAT borne by each of Buyer (and its Affiliates) or Seller (and its Affiliates) under this Agreement, taking into account the effect of any recovery of VAT, shall be 50% of the amount of VAT economically borne by the parties hereto as a result of this Agreement.

84

(iii) If the Parties disagree as to the treatment of any item shown on a Tax Return to be filed pursuant to this Section 6.8 or with respect to any calculation with respect to any such Tax Return, an independent law firm or public accounting firm of a nationally recognized standing in the United States and reasonably acceptable to both Seller and Buyer (the “Selected Firm”) shall determine, consistent with Seller’s past practice and the agreements set forth in Section 6.8 and Section 3.3 (in each case, except as otherwise required by Law), how the disputed item is to be treated on such Tax Return (“Selected Firm’s Determination”). If the Selected Firm’s Determination has not been made prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return, the Party required to file such Tax Return may file such Tax Return as it deems appropriate, and if the subsequent Selected Firm’s Determination is that such Tax Return should have been filed in some other manner, the filing Party shall amend such Tax Return in accordance with the Selected Firm’s Determination. The fees and expenses of the Selected Firm shall be allocated to be paid by Seller and Buyer in inverse proportion (based on the disputed amounts proposed by each to the Selected Firm) as they may each prevail on matters resolved by the Selected Firm, which proportionate allocations and resulting fee allocation shall also be determined by the Selected Firm at the time the determination of the Selected Firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.

(iv) The Parties shall retain records, documents, accounting data and other information in whatever form that are necessary for the preparation and filing, or for any Tax audit, of any and all Tax Returns with respect to any Taxes that relate to Tax periods that begin on or prior to the Closing Date. Such retention shall be in accordance with the record retention policy of the respective Party, but in no event shall any Party destroy or otherwise dispose of such records, documents, accounting data and other information prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including extensions). Each Party shall give any other Party reasonable access to all such records, documents, accounting data and other information and shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide an explanation of any documents or information so provided to the extent necessary for a reasonable review. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall have no obligation to provide Buyer with any consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return filed by Seller or any of its Affiliates or any predecessor entity to Seller or of any of its Affiliates or any materials related thereto, and Buyer shall have no obligation to provide Seller with any consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return filed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates or any predecessor entity to Buyer or of any of its Affiliates or any materials related thereto.

(g) Tax Controversies.

(i) A Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing (in no event later than ten Business Days) (a “Notification”) upon receipt of written notice of any pending or threatened audits or assessments with respect to Taxes for which such other Party (or any of its Affiliates) is liable under Section 6.8, or may give rise to an indemnification payment under Section 6.8, or any audits, adjustments, assessments, or redeterminations with respect to Taxes for which Tax credits or refunds may be claimed by the other Party (or any of its Affiliates) under applicable Law. Failure to give such Notification shall not relieve the indemnifying party from Liability under this Section 6.8, except if and to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Subject to further provisions of this Section 6.8(g)(i), Seller shall be entitled to conduct, direct, control and be responsible for the complete defense of any audit

85

or administrative or court Proceeding relating to Taxes (a “Tax Claim”) with respect to the Purchased Entities for which it may be solely liable (a “Seller Tax Claim”), and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense; provided that (A) Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in any Seller Tax Claim, and (B) Seller shall control the Seller Tax Claim diligently and in good faith, (C) Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed regarding the status of such Seller Tax Claim, and (D) Seller shall not settle, resolve, or abandon any such Seller Tax Claim without Buyer’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Buyer shall be entitled to conduct, direct, control and be responsible for, the complete defense of any Tax Claim relating to Taxes for which Seller is partially liable and any Seller Tax Claim that Seller does not elect to control (each, a “Buyer Tax Claim”), provided that (I) Buyer shall assume control of the Buyer Tax Claim diligently and in good faith, (II) Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed regarding the status of such Buyer Tax Claim, (III) Seller shall have the right to participate in such Buyer Tax Claim at its sole cost and expense, and (IV) Buyer shall not settle, resolve, or abandon any such Buyer Tax Claim without Seller’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Any Tax liabilities imposed or assessed in connection with any Seller Tax Claims or Buyer Tax Claims shall be paid in the manner and within the period specified by applicable Law by the party responsible under applicable Law for making such payment and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 6.8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall not be liable for Losses attributable to the Buyer’s defense of each Buyer Tax Claim in excess of the portion of the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Buyer in the defense of such Buyer Tax Claim in an amount corresponding to the proportionate share of the Tax Liabilities resulting from such Buyer Tax Claim borne by Seller pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall be entitled to conduct, direct, control and be responsible for the complete defense of a Tax Claim with respect to the Purchased Entities, the Purchased Assets or the Business that is not a Seller Tax Claim or a Buyer Tax Claim.

(ii) This Section 6.8(g) shall govern to the extent it would otherwise be inconsistent with Section 9.3.

(h) Treatment of Taxes Reflected in the Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, for all purposes of allocating obligations or rights under this Section 6.8, Seller shall be deemed to have paid that amount of any such Taxes specifically taken into account tin the calculation of the Purchase Price and satisfied its obligations to pay Buyer, or indemnify Buyer, for such amounts to the extent so reflected.

(i) Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax Sharing Agreements between the Purchased Entities, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than a Purchased Entity), on the other hand, shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, no Purchased Entity shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder. Seller shall provide to Buyer such evidence as Buyer may reasonably request of the termination of any Tax Sharing Agreement (including any profit/loss transfer agreement) by and among any Purchased Entity, including any Purchased Entity resident in Germany or Australia to the extent applicable, for applicable Tax purposes, and Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than a Purchased Entity).

(j) Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income Tax purposes, the Parties agree that the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets set forth in Section 2.1 and the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares set forth in Section 2.2 shall be treated as taxable sales governed by Section 1001 of the Code, and except as otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provisions of state or local Tax Law), the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, (i) treat and report the transactions contemplated hereby in all respects consistently with the provisions of this Section 6.8(j) for purposes of any U.S. federal, state, or local Tax Laws and (ii) not take any actions or positions inconsistent with the obligations of the Parties set forth herein with respect to Taxes.

86

(k) Treatment of Transaction Tax Deductions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for the purpose of determining the Taxes for which Seller is responsible, (1) all Transaction Tax Deductions shall be deemed deducted in a Pre-Closing Tax Period consistent with a “more likely than not” or higher standard of deductibility in such portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, and (2) for the avoidance of doubt, estimated (or other prepaid) Tax payments and any overpayments of Taxes, net operating losses, Tax credits, Tax amortization, and other, similar Tax assets, deductions, or offsets with respect to taxable periods ending on or including the Closing Date (collectively, “Tax Attributes”) (with the portion of any Tax Attributes attributable to any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date determined in accordance with Section 6.8(a)(iii)) shall be taken into account in a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case using such Tax Attributes to the maximum extent possible to minimize such Taxes (to the extent sustainable based on at least a “more likely than not” level of comfort).

(l) Settlement of Certain Intercompany Accounts. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to settle, or cause to be settled, any outstanding intercompany liabilities or balances among the Purchased Entities to the extent that the amount of such liabilities or balances exceeds the amount of such liabilities or balances attributable to a receivable that has been outstanding for less than 45 days; provided that Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to settle, or cause to be settled, any such intercompany liabilities or balances related to receivables owed to CommScope Telecommunications (China) Co., Ltd. if and to the extent that the amount of such liabilities or balances exceeds the amount of such liabilities or balances attributable to a receivable that has been outstanding for less than 90 days. Following the settlement contemplated by the preceding sentence and prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be extracted to Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than a Purchased Entity), in such manner as Seller may reasonably determine, any cash or cash equivalents received by a Purchased Entity pursuant to such settlement. To the extent that any intercompany liabilities or balances among the Purchased Entities that are required to be settled prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 6.8(l), without regard to the commercially reasonable efforts standard, are not so settled, such amount will be an “Excess Intercompany Amount”.

Section 6.9 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) Buyer and Seller agree that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liability for or in connection with acts or omissions occurring at any time prior to or on the Closing Date (including in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents), that exist as of the date hereof in favor of any Person who prior to or on the Closing Date is or was a current or former director, manager or officer of a Purchased Entity (each, a “Business Indemnitee”) including as provided in the Organizational Documents of a Purchased Entity, will survive the Closing and will continue in full force and effect for the six-year period following the Closing Date (and such additional period of time as may be necessary to fully and finally resolve any claims for indemnification which may have been duly submitted prior to the six-year anniversary of the Closing Date). In furtherance (and not in limitation) of the foregoing, for the six-year period following the Closing Date, Buyer will cause the Purchased Entities to, and the Purchased Entities will maintain in the Organizational Documents of each of the Purchased Entities provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liability that in each such respect are at least as favorable to each Business Indemnitee as those contained in each Purchased Entity’s respective Organizational Documents, as applicable, as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Business Indemnitee. For the six year period following the Closing Date, subject to Buyer’s right

87

to recover from Seller such indemnification and expense advancement obligations incurred pursuant to Section 9.1(a), Buyer shall pay and disburse when due all indemnification and expense advancement obligations owed to any Business Employee following the Closing and further, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Purchased Entities to advance expenses to, each Business Indemnitee in their capacities as such, in respect of actions, omissions or events through and including the Closing (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby), to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

(b) The provisions of this Section 6.9 will survive the Closing. This Section 6.9 will be for the irrevocable benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Business Indemnitee and his or her respective heirs, executors, administrators, estates, successors and assigns, and each such Person will be an express intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement for such purposes. Buyer will, subject to Buyer’s right to recover from Seller such indemnification and expense advancement obligations incurred pursuant to Section 9.1(a), pay, or will cause the Purchased Entities to pay, as and when incurred by any Person referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, all reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Person in enforcing such Person’s rights under this Section 6.9. The obligations under this Section 6.9 will not be terminated, revoked, modified or amended in any way so as to adversely affect any Person referred to in the second sentence of this Section 6.9(b) without the written consent of such Person. With respect to any right to indemnification or advancement for actual or claimed acts or omissions occurring prior to or on the Closing Date (including in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents), each Purchased Entity, as applicable, will be the indemnitor of first resort, responsible for all such indemnification and advancement that any Business Indemnitee may otherwise have from any direct or indirect stockholder or equity holder of any of the Purchased Entities (or any Affiliate of such stockholder or equity holder) and without right to seek or obtain subrogation, indemnity or contribution; provided, that nothing in the foregoing clause, or otherwise in this Section 6.9, shall be interpreted to limit or otherwise impair the rights of Buyer or the Purchased Entities under Section 6.7. Buyer further agrees that no advance or prepayment by any Person other than the applicable Purchased Entity or Purchased Entities as the primary indemnitor on behalf of any Business Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such Business Indemnitee has sought indemnification or advancement from any of the Purchased Entities will affect the foregoing and that any such secondary indemnitor will have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all the rights of recovery of the Business Indemnitee against the Purchased Entities and Buyer, and Seller shall cause the Purchased Entities to hereby irrevocably release any such secondary indemnitor from, and irrevocably waive and relinquish any right to assert against any such secondary indemnitor, any and all claims for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof, effective as of the Closing Date. Each of Buyer and the Business Indemnitee agree that the secondary indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.9(b).

(c) In the event that the Purchased Entities, their Subsidiaries or Buyer or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer, the Purchased Entities and/or their applicable Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9.

Section 6.10 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending five years after the Closing Date (or such shorter period as required by applicable Law), Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, engage in, or hold any ownership interest in any Person who engages in, a business that competes with the Business as the Business is operated on the Agreement Date and as of the Closing Date by Seller and its Subsidiaries anywhere in the world, including the manufacture, distribution, installation or sale of any Products that are under development or are manufactured, distributed or sold by the Business as of the Closing Date anywhere in the world (“Competing Activity”).

88

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.10(a), Seller and its Subsidiaries may in all events:

(i) engage in any business conducted by Seller or its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date other than the Business and continue to sell the products and services sold by them (or any of them) on the Agreement Date or as of the Closing Date that are not Products that are under development or are manufactured, distributed or sold by the Business as of the Closing Date, and any new releases, updates and successors to such products and services;

(ii) continue to perform any Competing Activity for the benefit of Buyer or any of its Affiliates as required or contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(iii) acquire any Person, or one or more divisions or lines of business of a Person, that engages in a Competing Activity by merger or a purchase of shares or assets of a Person so long as, immediately prior to the time of such acquisition, the Competing Activity does not account for the lesser of either $25,000,000 or 10% of the aggregate annual gross revenues of such Person, or the acquired divisions or lines of business of such Person, as applicable, for its most recent fiscal year preceding the acquisition, in each case, based, to the extent available, on the most recently available annual consolidated financial statements of such Person or annual financial statements of such divisions or lines of business of such Person, as applicable;

(iv) own and operate any Person, division or line of business acquired in compliance with Section 6.10(b)(iii); provided, that the Competing Activity does not at any point prior to the five-year anniversary of the Closing Date exceed the lesser of either $25,000,000 or 10% of the aggregate annual gross revenues of such Person, or the acquired divisions or lines of business of such Person, as applicable, in any fiscal year;

(v) directly or indirectly hold interests in or securities of any Person engaged in a Competing Activity to the extent that such investments do not, directly or indirectly, confer on Seller and/or its Subsidiaries, in the aggregate, 10% or more of the voting power or economic interests of such Person, and Seller and its Subsidiaries remain passive investors and are not involved in the business operations of such Person (other than board seats and board observer seats reasonably commensurate with the size of the investment); and

(vi) the activities set forth on Schedule 6.10(b)(vi) of the Disclosure Letter.

(c) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending three years after the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, solicit to hire or, in such jurisdictions where such restriction would not be prohibited by Law, hire in any capacity (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise) any Continuing Employee. Nothing in this Section 6.10(c) shall restrict Seller or its Subsidiaries from engaging in general or public searches, solicitations or advertising by or on behalf of Seller or such Subsidiary (including through search firms) that are not specifically directed towards any such Person described in the first sentence of this Section 6.10(c).

89

(d) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending 12 months after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Purchased Entities and any Other Buyer not to directly or indirectly, solicit to hire or, in such jurisdictions where such restriction would not be prohibited by Law, hire in any capacity (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise) any employee of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries. This restriction shall not apply to Persons who have ceased employment with Seller or one of its Subsidiaries prior to commencement of employment discussions between the Purchased Entities or such Other Buyer or any of their respective Representatives and such Person, and nothing in this Section 6.10(d) shall restrict the Purchased Entities and Other Buyers from engaging in general or public searches, solicitations or advertising by or on behalf of the Purchased Entities or such Other Buyer (including through search firms) that are not specifically directed towards any such Person described in the first sentence of this Section 6.10(d).

Section 6.11 Return of Assets and Transfer of Payments.

(a) If, after the Closing, any asset acquired by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Purchased Entities) hereunder is ultimately determined to be an Excluded Asset or Buyer or any of its Affiliates is found subject to an Excluded Liability, (i) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to return or transfer and convey (without further consideration) to the appropriate Subsidiary of Seller such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability as soon as practicable, (ii) Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its appropriate Subsidiary to assume (without further consideration) any Liabilities associated with such Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities as soon as practicable and (iii) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to, and shall cause its appropriate Subsidiary to use its reasonable best efforts to, execute such documents or instruments of conveyance or assumption and take such further acts which are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transfer of such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability back to such Subsidiary of Seller, in each case such that each Party is put into the same economic position as if such action had been taken on or prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Subject to Article 2, if, after the Closing, any asset held by Seller or its Subsidiaries is ultimately determined to be a Purchased Asset or Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is found to be subject to an Assumed Liability, (i) Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to return or transfer and convey (without further consideration) to the appropriate Purchased Entity (or Subsidiary thereof) or Buyer or its designated Affiliate such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability as soon as practicable, (ii) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the appropriate Purchased Entity (or Subsidiary thereof) or an Affiliate designated by Buyer to assume (without further consideration) any Liabilities associated with such Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities as soon as practicable and (iii) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the appropriate Purchased Entity (or Subsidiary thereof) or an Affiliate designated by Buyer to execute such documents or instruments of conveyance or assumption and take such further acts which are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transfer of such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability to the Purchased Entity (or Subsidiary thereof) or Affiliate designated by Buyer, in each case such that each Party is put into the same economic position as if such action had been taken on or prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and subject to any qualifications set forth in Section 2.6, following the Closing Date, (i) if any payments due with respect to the Business are paid in error to any Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller, Seller shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to, promptly remit by wire or draft such payment (net of any Taxes incurred in respect of such payment) to an account designated in writing by Buyer and (ii) if any payments due with respect to the businesses of Seller that are not the Business are paid in error to Buyer, the Purchased Entities or their respective Subsidiaries, Buyer shall, or cause its Subsidiaries to, promptly remit by wire or draft such payment (net of any Taxes incurred in respect of such payment) to an account designated in writing by Seller.

Section 6.12 Further Assurances.

(a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to and in compliance with any limitations set forth in Section 6.3 with respect to Antitrust Laws or foreign direct investment Laws, each of the Parties will cooperate with each other and use its reasonable best efforts, prior to, at and after the Closing Date, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary or appropriate on its part to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Purchase Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including, prior to the Closing, the satisfaction of the respective conditions set forth in Article 7 and including the execution and delivery of such other instruments, certificates, agreements and other documents and the performance of such other actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable to consummate and implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided that all such actions are in accordance with applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time, whether at or after the Closing and subject to the other terms of this Agreement, (i) Seller and its Subsidiaries (as appropriate) will execute and deliver such further instruments, certificates, agreements and other documents and perform such other actions, at Buyer’s sole expense (unless such action is otherwise expressly contemplated to be performed by (or caused to be performed by) Seller by this Agreement or another Transaction Document), as Buyer may reasonably request to more effectively convey and transfer title to Buyer any of the Purchased Assets or Purchased Shares or otherwise carry out the intent of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and effect the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (ii) Buyer will execute and deliver such instruments, certificates, agreements and other documents and perform such other actions, at Seller’s sole expense (unless such action is otherwise expressly contemplated to be performed by (or caused to be performed by) Buyer by this Agreement or another Transaction Document), as Seller or its Subsidiaries may reasonably request to more effectively assume the Assumed Liabilities or otherwise carry out the intent of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and effect the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(b) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to and in compliance with any limitations set forth in Section 6.3 with respect to Antitrust Laws or foreign direct investment Laws, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain any Consents required from third parties (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Governmental Authority) in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents under the Assigned Material Contracts, (ii) transfer any Permits required to be transferred to or from a Purchased Entity in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and (iii) execute a sublease agreement on commercially reasonable terms for each such leased real property to the applicable Party as set forth on Schedule 6.12(b) of the Disclosure Letter; provided, that (A) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to make any payments or incur any Liability to obtain any consents of third parties or effect the transfers or arrangements contemplated by this Section 6.12(b) other than (1) general internal costs, overhead and use of internal personnel and assets or infrastructure and (2) any costs approved by Buyer (which such costs shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller, in which case, Seller shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, promptly upon receipt of Buyer’s portion of such payment, make such payment in full), and (B) subject to Seller’s compliance with its obligation under this Section 6.12, the failure to receive any such consents or to effect any such transfers or arrangements shall not be taken into account in determining whether any condition to the Closing set forth in Article 7 shall have been satisfied.

91

Section 6.13 Privileges. The Parties agree that their respective rights and obligations to maintain, preserve, assert, or waive any attorney-client and work product privileges belonging to either Party with respect to the Business and the other businesses of Seller (collectively, “Privileges”), shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 6.13. With respect to matters relating to Seller’s businesses (other than the Business), the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities, and with respect to all business records, documents, communications or other information (collectively, “Information”) of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries prepared in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, Seller shall have sole authority to determine whether to assert or waive any applicable Privileges, including the right to assert any Privilege against Buyer and its Affiliates. Buyer and its Affiliates (including, as of the Closing Date, the Purchased Entities) shall take no action without the prior written consent of Seller that would reasonably be expected to result in any waiver of any such Privileges of Seller. After the Closing, with respect to matters relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets, the Purchased Shares or the Assumed Liabilities (but not including matters to the extent that they relate to the Excluded Assets, Excluded Liabilities or the businesses of Seller (other than the Business)), or Information prepared in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other potential transaction relating to the Business or related sale process, Buyer shall have sole authority to determine whether to assert or waive any Privileges. However, Buyer may not assert any such Privileges of the Purchased Entities, Seller or its Subsidiaries related to pre-Closing advice or communications relating to the Business against Seller and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that, if the waiver of (or failure to assert) such Privilege, would reasonably be expected to result in such Privilege being waived in connection with any claim by a third party, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries to, enter into such reasonable arrangements as are reasonably necessary to ensure that such Privilege is not otherwise waived with respect to a third party, including customary joint defense agreements or similar arrangements. The rights and obligations created by this Section 6.13 shall apply to all Information as to which Seller, Buyer, their respective Subsidiaries or the Purchased Entities would be entitled to assert or has asserted a Privilege without regard to the effect, if any, of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents (the “Privileged Information”). Upon receipt by Seller or its Subsidiaries, or Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including, as of the Closing Date, the Purchased Entities), as the case may be, of any subpoena, discovery or other request from any third party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other or if Seller or its Subsidiaries or Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including, as of the Closing Date, the Purchased Entities), as the case may be, obtains knowledge that any current or former employee of Seller, its Subsidiaries, the Business or the Purchased Entities or Buyer or its Affiliates (including, as of the Closing Date, the Purchased Entities), has received any subpoena, discovery or other request from any third party that in such Party’s good faith judgment calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other Party, such Party shall promptly notify the other of the existence of the request and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to review the Information and to assert any rights it may have under this Section 6.13 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of Privileged Information. Seller’s transfer of any Business Records or other Information to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement and Seller’s and Buyer’s agreement to permit the other to obtain information existing prior to the Closing are made in reliance on the Parties’ respective agreements, as set forth in this Section 6.13 and Section 6.2, to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to take the steps provided herein for the preservation of all Privileges that may belong to or be asserted by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be. The access to Business Records and other information being granted pursuant to this Agreement, and the disclosure to Buyer and Seller of Privileged Information relating to the Business or the other businesses of Seller pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or any other Transaction Document shall not be asserted by Seller or Buyer to constitute, or otherwise be deemed, a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Section 6.13 or otherwise.

92

Section 6.14 Chain of Title Corrections. Prior to the Closing, Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken actions to address any defects, discrepancies, or issues in the chain of title for all Registered Transferred IPR, including but not limited to filing any necessary assignments, releases, name changes or other documentation at the United States Patent and Trademark Office and intellectual property offices or agencies in any other jurisdictions as necessary or otherwise correct the named owner in the public record of any registered Intellectual Property Rights, such that the title records at the applicable intellectual property offices and agencies properly reflect (or will reflect, after any such filing is processed) ownership of such registered Intellectual Property Rights in the name of a Purchased Entity. Seller shall provide to Buyer reasonable documentary evidence of any actions taken, and filings made, in connection with the foregoing prior to the Closing. In the event that any such filing to update the title records at the applicable intellectual property offices to name a Purchased Entity as the owner of record of such registered Intellectual Property Rights has not been filed at or prior to the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents but excluding making any filings, which shall be the responsibility and at the sole cost and expense of Buyer) as Buyer may reasonably request, at the sole cost and expense of Seller, as necessary for Buyer to complete such updates following Closing.

Section 6.15 Guarantees. Buyer recognizes that Seller and certain of its Subsidiaries have provided, and prior to the Closing may provide, credit support to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Purchased Entities pursuant to guarantees, letters of credit, bonds, sureties and other credit support or assurances provided by Seller or its Subsidiaries in support of any obligation of the Business (the “Business Guarantees”). For the avoidance of doubt, the UK Pension Guarantee shall not be considered a Business Guarantee. A true and complete list of Business Guarantees with a principal value in excess of $2,000,000 as of the date hereof is set forth on Schedule 6.15 of the Disclosure Letter. Buyer and Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain from the respective beneficiary, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Buyer, on or before the Closing Date, valid and binding written releases of Seller and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, from any Liability, whether arising before, on or after the Closing Date, under any Business Guarantees to the extent relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, which release shall be effective as of the Closing, including, in the case of Buyer and its Affiliates, as applicable, by providing substitute guarantees, furnishing letters of credit, instituting escrow agreements, posting surety or performance bonds or making other arrangements as the beneficiary may reasonably request. If any Business Guarantee has not been released as of the Closing Date, then Buyer and Seller shall continue to use their reasonable best efforts after the Closing to cause as promptly as practicable the complete and unconditional release of Seller and its Subsidiaries under such Business Guarantee to the extent relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that at any time on or after the Closing Date, Seller and its Subsidiaries may, in such Person’s sole discretion, take any action to terminate, obtain release of or otherwise limit their Liability under any and all outstanding Business Guarantees; provided, that (a) Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer 30 days prior to taking such action and (b) such action may not materially and adversely impact Buyer.

Section 6.16 Existing Intercompany Agreements and Arrangements.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 6.16(b), Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that all Intercompany Agreements, and all rights and obligations of the Business or the Purchased Entities, Seller and Seller’s Subsidiaries under such Intercompany Agreements will be terminated at or prior to the Closing without further liability or obligation thereunder. No such terminated Intercompany Agreement or any arrangement, commitment or understanding relating thereto (including any provision thereof that purports to survive termination) shall be of any further force or effect after the Effective Time.

(b) The provisions of Section 6.16(a) shall not apply to any of the following Contracts (or to any of the provisions thereof):

(i) this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and each other Contract expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to be entered into or continued after the Effective Time (including the IPMA and Transition Services Agreement to be entered into as of the Closing and the Restructuring Documents);

93

(ii) the Intercompany Agreements listed on Schedule 6.16(b) of the Disclosure Letter; and

(iii) the Shared Contracts, which are addressed in Section 2.6.

Section 6.17 R&W Insurance Policy. At or prior to the Closing, Buyer shall obtain third party insurance in respect of inaccuracies or breaches of the representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement (the “R&W Insurance Policy”), which shall expressly waive all claims in connection with any inaccuracies or breaches of such representations and warranties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a customary waiver of subrogation) against Seller other than in respect of Fraud, and expressly provide that Seller is an intended third-party beneficiary of such waiver. Buyer shall provide a genuine and complete copy of the R&W Insurance Policy to Seller at or prior to the Closing. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer with respect to Buyer’s procurement of the R&W Insurance Policy. Buyer shall not amend the subrogation waiver provision of the R&W Insurance Policy in any manner that would be adverse to Seller without Seller’s prior written consent. Buyer shall bear all premiums, underwriting fees, brokers’ commissions and taxes required to obtain the R&W Insurance Policy, inclusive of broker compensation.

94

(c) Seller and Buyer shall reasonably promptly notify each other of (i) the receipt of any written communication received from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, (ii) any Proceeding commencing or, to such Party’s knowledge, being threatened against such Party or any of its Affiliates that relates to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, and (iii) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement of which Seller or Buyer (as applicable) has knowledge that would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Article 7. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.18(c) shall not (A) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (B) limit the remedies available to the party sending or receiving such notice.

Section 6.19 Use of Seller Names and Marks. Except as expressly provided in the IPMA or the Transition Services Agreement, Seller reserves for itself and its Subsidiaries all rights in any Trademarks of Seller trademarks that are not included in the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights (“Seller Marks”), and no other rights therein are granted to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise; provided that, to the extent any such Seller Marks are included or incorporated in any written, electronic or other materials included in the Purchased Assets, Buyer and its Affiliates may use such materials solely in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice until 12 months from the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, to the extent any Seller Marks are included in the legal names of any Purchased Entity, Buyer and its Affiliates shall have up to 180 days after the Closing Date to remove such Seller Marks from the legal names of any such Purchased Entity. Any use by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries under this Section 6.19 of any materials and assets that bear the Seller Marks is subject to the use of such materials and assets in the form and manner, and with standards of quality, as in effect for such materials, assets and Seller Marks as of the Closing Date. None of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries shall use the Seller Marks in a manner that would reasonably be expected to reflect negatively on the Seller Marks or on Seller or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer and the Purchased Entities shall not be deemed to have violated this Section 6.19, even after the 12 month period provided above by reason of: (i) their use of equipment and other similar non-public-facing articles used in the Business, notwithstanding that they may bear one or more of the Seller Marks; (ii) the appearance of the Seller Marks on any manuals, work sheets, operating procedures, other written or electronic data, materials or assets (including computer source code) that are used solely for internal purposes only in connection with the Business; or (iii) the appearance of the Seller Marks in or on any third party’s publications, marketing materials, brochures, equipment or products that were distributed in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to a Contract prior to the Closing Date, and that generally are in the public domain, or any other similar uses by any such third party over which Buyer has no control. Subject to a ten (10) Business Day cure period following written notice to Buyer by Seller, Seller may terminate the foregoing license, effective immediately, if Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries fails to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions in relation to the use of the Seller Marks and does not cure such failure during such cure period. Following the Closing, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, not hold itself out as having any affiliation with the other party or any of its Affiliates (except with reference to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and its Affiliates have the right to use the Seller Marks at all times after the Closing as permitted or required by Law (including any use not constituting trademark infringement) or “fair use” principles including to refer to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the factual and historic relationship of the Business to Seller.

95

Section 6.20 Financial Statements. Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, from after the Agreement Date and prior to the Closing, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and deliver to Buyer on a quarterly basis (with email delivery being sufficient) copies of the management reported income statement and balance sheet for the OWN Business, management reported income statement for the DAS Business and select balance sheet accounts for the DAS Business (accounts receivable, inventory, warranty and deferred revenue), in the case of each balance sheet, inclusive of those certain perimeter adjustments as specified in the Illustrative Closing Net Working Capital Schedule attached to the Purchase Agreement as Annex A to Appendix E, each as of the last day of such fiscal quarter of Seller and to be delivered to Buyer within 45 days of the end of each such fiscal quarter (collectively, the “Business Financial Statements”).

Seller shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates and other Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all contacts, discussions and negotiations with any Person other than Buyer and its Affiliates and Representatives regarding any Acquisition Proposal conducted prior to the date of this Agreement. Without the prior written consent of Buyer, Seller shall not, and shall cause the Other Sellers and Purchased Entities not to, release any Person from, or waive any provision of, any standstill agreement or confidentiality agreement to which Seller, any Other Seller or any Purchased Entity is a party. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.22 is intended to restrict or limit Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Entities) from entering into, engaging in or consummating any transaction not involving the Purchased Entities or the Business.

Section 6.23 Transition Services Agreement and IPMA. The parties agree that, on the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller will enter into the IPMA, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the Transition Services Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Buyer may elect to engage either Seller or any third party in executing all or a portion of the IT Plan. In the event Buyer elects to engage (a) a third party to execute all or any portion of the IT Plan, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts in good faith to support Buyer and such third party in the execution of the IT Plan; and/or (b) Seller to execute all or any portion of the IT Plan, and in each case Buyer shall receive an estimate of the applicable services Seller has been engaged for, including Seller’s hourly rate and estimated hours to complete such services in advance of commencing activity.

96

Section 6.25 UK DB Plan. In relation to the UK DB Plan:

(a) Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to procure that, at or before Closing, pursuant to the FAA, any UK Pension Entity will cease to be an employer and/or former employer of the UK DB Plan and will be fully discharged and released from all obligations and/or Liabilities in respect of the UK DB Plan, including: (i) under any SoC; (ii) for the purposes of section 75 or Section 75A of the Pensions Act 1995; and/or (iii) under the governing definitive trust deed and rules of the UK DB Plan (as amended from time to time) or otherwise; provided that any such steps (including pursuant to the terms of the FAA or otherwise) shall be taken without any financial cost or charge to, or any Liabilities otherwise being triggered or treated as due or payable by, any Purchased Entity after the Closing or Buyer or its Affiliates (and for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any such costs, charges and Liabilities shall be deemed to be Excluded Liabilities in accordance with Appendix D).

(b) After the Agreement Date, Seller shall: (i) keep Buyer apprised of any material discussions, negotiations and/or developments with any Trustee (or its Representatives) in relation to the FAA; (ii) share with Buyer a draft of the FAA which Seller reasonably anticipates will be agreed with any Trustee; and (iii) give Buyer a reasonable opportunity to provide any material comments to Seller about such draft (with both Seller and Buyer acting promptly, reasonably and in good faith in respect of making and/or considering such comments (as applicable)). Promptly upon the FAA being validly executed by all parties, if executed prior to Closing in accordance with this Agreement, Seller shall notify Buyer and provide Buyer with a copy of such executed FAA.

(c) If the UK DB Plan Transfer is consummated at, or prior to, Closing, then notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (A) the UK DB Plan shall not be, and shall be deemed not to be, an Assumed Benefit Plan, (B) all assets held in or by the UK DB Plan shall be deemed to be Excluded Assets under Appendix C and (C) any Liabilities arising in relation to the UK DB Plan shall be deemed to be Excluded Liabilities under Appendix D.

(d) If the UK DB Plan Transfer does not occur prior to Closing, then at and following Closing, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (A) the UK DB Plan shall be, and shall be deemed to be, an Assumed Benefit Plan; (B) Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to seek to implement the Buy-Out on commercially reasonable terms; (C) Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to keep Seller apprised of the status of any material matters relating to the UK DB Plan; (D) any Liabilities arising in relation to the UK DB Plan shall be deemed to be Excluded Liabilities under Appendix D, except that Buyer shall not take any action (or series of related actions) related to the UK DB Plan that increases or would reasonably be expected to increase the Liabilities indemnifiable by Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(iii) without the prior written consent of Seller in good faith and not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (E) any failure by Seller to effect the UK DB Plan Transfer will not, in and of itself, be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in Section 7.3(b) has been satisfied.

(c) The Indemnified Parties shall exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of any Buyer Losses or Seller Losses, as applicable, after becoming aware of any event or matter which would reasonably be expected to result in Losses. The failure to mitigate if required hereby shall not result in the loss of any indemnification rights, but the amount of otherwise indemnifiable Losses resulting from such matter will be reduced by the amount thereof that would have been prevented had such mitigation occurred.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer Losses and Seller Losses, as applicable, shall be calculated net of any amounts actually recovered under third party insurance policies (including, if applicable, the R&W Insurance Policy) and contractual indemnification or contribution provisions with third parties (in each case, calculated net of reasonable expenses (including any Taxes)) incurred in procuring or receiving such recovery and, with respect to recoveries from insurance (other than the R&W Insurance Policy), any increase in premiums or retroactive premium adjustments or chargebacks paid by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party as a result of the insurance claim related to such Loss, and taking into account the available coverage under the relevant insurance policy, it being understood that such coverage shall first be available to satisfy other claims pending under such policy at the time claim related to such Loss is made); provided, that in the event that any Indemnified Party first recovers from the Indemnifying Party for any particular Losses and thereafter recovers for the same Losses pursuant to any third party insurance policies and/or contractual indemnification or contribution provisions (including the R&W Insurance Policy), then the amount recovered pursuant to such insurance policies and/or contractual indemnification or contribution provisions (in each case, calculated net of reasonable expenses (including any Taxes)), up to the amount first recovered from the Indemnifying Party, shall be paid to the Indemnifying Party by such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain recovery of any Losses under any available third party insurance policies (including the R&W Insurance Policy) that may extend to such Losses or pursuant to a claim against any third party for indemnification or contribution under any applicable Contract, except to the extent that such efforts or recovery under such applicable Contract (excluding the R&W Insurance Policy and other third-party insurance policies) would reasonably be expected to be materially detrimental to its business, reputation or future business prospects.

(e) Further, other than pursuant to Section 6.7 or Section 6.9 or with respect to the R&W Insurance Policy, nothing in this Agreement shall (i) require any Indemnified Party to continue or maintain in effect any insurance policies, or (ii) prevent or materially delay any Person from obtaining any indemnification hereunder prior to recovery of any amounts from any insurance policies or using any efforts to obtain any such recovery.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event will (i) any Buyer Indemnified Party have any right to indemnification (and Buyer Losses shall not be deemed to have been incurred) with respect to any matter to the extent that such matter is accrued or reflected or otherwise taken into account in the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, Final Business Indebtedness or to the extent the Final Purchase Price has otherwise been adjusted for such matter pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) Seller be liable for an amount of Buyer Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.1(a) in excess of the Final Purchase Price, other than for Fraud, which shall be uncapped and (iii) Buyer be liable for an amount of Seller Losses pursuant to Section 9.1(b) in excess of the Final Purchase Price actually paid to Seller, other than for Fraud, which shall be uncapped.

102

Section 9.3 Indemnification Procedures, Third Party Claims.

(a) General Claim Procedure. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party for indemnification of Losses hereunder, the Notifying Party shall deliver a notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party within 30 days of becoming aware of the facts underlying such claim, stating in reasonable detail the nature and basis of such claim (including, to the extent such claim relates to a Third Party Claim, reasonable details of each claim made by the relevant third party in connection with such Third Party Claim and copies of the relevant material documents received by the Indemnified Party evidencing such Third Party Claim), the amount of the claim (if known and quantifiable, otherwise a good faith estimate thereof), the basis for the indemnification sought, and all material documents reflecting or evidencing the basis for such claim (in each case, to the extent then known and in the control of the Notifying Party); provided that failure to timely provide notice or such other information required by this Section 9.3(a) will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party or Notifying Party for indemnification of Losses hereunder, except to the extent that the defense of such action is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Notifying Party that it does not dispute the claim described in such notice, or fails to notify the Notifying Party within 30 days after delivery of such notice by the Notifying Party whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such notice, then such claim (including the Loss specified in the Notifying Party’s notice) shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Notifying Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved subject to Section 11.9.

(b) Third Party Claims.

(i) (A) Within 30 days after the receipt by any Indemnified Party of a notice of any claim or Proceeding by any third party that is reasonably likely to be subject to indemnification under this Article 9 (a “Third Party Claim”), including any claim or Proceeding relating to any Excluded Liability or any Assumed Liability, the Notifying Party shall give written notice of such Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 9.3(a) above (the “Third Party Claim Notice”), and (B) thereafter, the Notifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after any Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party, or filed or published, relating to the Third Party Claim; provided that with respect to each of clauses (A) and (B), failure to timely provide notice or such other information required by this sentence will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party or Notifying Party for indemnification of Losses hereunder, except to the extent that the defense of such action is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. The Parties agree that any Assumed Pending Litigation that constitute(s) Third Party Claims subject to the provisions of this Section 9.3(b) do not require a Third Party Claim Notice to be given.

(ii) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof. In addition, the Indemnifying Party may elect (by written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after the Indemnifying Party receives notice of such claim, or at any time thereafter if a diligent and good faith defense of such claim is not being, or ceases to be, conducted by the Indemnified Party and such conduct is not remedied within 15 days after notice in writing to the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party) to assume and control the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party so elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in

103

connection with the defense thereof for so long as the Indemnifying Party continues to direct such defense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ, at its own expense, counsel not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense and shall be empowered to make any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim, subject to the terms of this Section 9.3(b). If and solely to the extent that the underlying Third Party Claim is determined to be indemnifiable hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party in defense of such Third Party Claim for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall only be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim for so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense in an active and diligent manner, (B) the Indemnified Party has not irrevocably waived any rights it may have to indemnification under this Article 9 with respect to such Third Party Claim, (C) the Third Party Claim is not in respect of any matter involving actual or potential criminal liability, (D) the matter that is the subject of the Third Party Claim does not seek as a cause of action the imposition of an equitable or injunctive remedy that would materially restrict the operation or activities of the Indemnified Party, (E) a claim is involved which, if adversely determined, would be reasonably expected to establish a precedent, custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests or prospects of the Indemnified Party, (F) a claim by any Governmental Authority is involved, (G) such Third Party Claim does not involve a claim made by a customer, supplier or vendor or other business relationship that is material to the Business, taken as a whole, (H) the amount at issue in such Third Party Claim does not exceed the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 and (I) the Indemnified Party has not been advised by outside counsel that there would be an actual conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to such matter.

(iv) The Parties shall cooperate reasonably, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to cooperate reasonably, in the defense or prosecution (or settlement) of any Third Party Claim against any of them. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the reasonable request of an Indemnifying Party or other Party involved in such claim) the provision of documents, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim upon reasonable request therefor (subject to the receiving Party’s agreement to appropriate provisions for maintaining confidentiality and privilege in a manner consistent with Section 6.2 and Section 6.13), and making employees available on any basis reasonably requested by such Party to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder or otherwise relating to the Third Party Claim.

(v) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may compromise or settle the same; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party advance notice of any proposed compromise or settlement and in no event shall the Indemnifying Party compromise or settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such compromise or settlement (A) provides for no relief other than the payment of monetary damages borne solely by the Indemnifying Party, (B) does not include any admission of wrongdoing or violation of Law on the part of the Indemnified Party or its Subsidiaries, and (C)

104

includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the third party claimant to the Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability or obligation in respect thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation or right to obtain any settlement, compromise, discharge or release with respect to any portion of a Third Party Claim that is not indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party hereunder.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Section 9.3 shall not apply to any claim with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed solely by Section 6.8.

Section 9.4 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any payment made pursuant to the indemnification obligations arising under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 9.5 Remedies Exclusive. Except with respect to (i) the matters covered by Section 2.6, Section 3.5 and Section 6.6, (ii) claims arising from Fraud, (iii) claims seeking specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to covenants to be performed after the Closing and (iv) claims under any of the Transaction Documents (other than this Agreement and the Disclosure Letter, any exhibit, schedule or annex of this Agreement, the Closing Transfer Documents or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement), the Parties acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this Article 9 and in Section 6.8 with respect to Taxes shall be the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy, from and after the Closing, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 9.6 Exercise of Remedies by Persons Other than the Parties. No Buyer Indemnified Party (other than Buyer or any successor or assignee of Buyer) is entitled to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Buyer (or any successor or assignee of Buyer) consents to the assertion of the indemnification claim or the exercise of the other remedy. No Seller Indemnified Party (other than Seller or any successor or assignee of Seller) is entitled to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Seller (or any successor or assignee of Seller) consents to the assertion of the indemnification claim or the exercise of the other remedy, other than in its capacity as a Business Indemnitee pursuant to Section 6.9.

Section 9.7 General Limitations.

(a) For the avoidance of doubt, no Indemnified Party shall have any right to indemnification under this Article 9 for any Loss to the extent that such Indemnified Party previously obtained indemnification under this Article 9 for such Loss, and in no event shall any Party be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for Losses that have already been paid or otherwise taken into account under this Agreement.

(b) All Losses under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

TERMINATION

Section 10.1 Termination Events. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated herein may be abandoned:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Parties;

(b) after July 18, 2025(the “Outside Date”) by either Party by notice to the other Party if the Closing shall not have been occurred on or prior to the Outside Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the primary cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date; provided, further, that if, on the Outside Date, any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 7.1(a) (solely to the extent any such Order, Law or Proceeding relates to or is in respect of any Antitrust Law or foreign direct investment Law) or Section 7.1(b) shall not have been satisfied but all other conditions to the Closing set forth in Article 7 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied prior to the Closing, but which conditions would be satisfied if the Closing occurred on such date), then the Outside Date may be extended to October 18, 2025 upon the written request of either Party; provided, however, that if either Party initiates a Proceeding in accordance with Section 11.7 seeking specific performance to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 8.1), then the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such Proceeding is pending, plus 20 Business Days or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Proceeding;

(c) by either Party by notice to the other Party if a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have, after the Agreement Date, issued, entered, enacted or promulgated an Order or other Law, or taken any other action, in each case, that, as applicable, has become final and nonappealable, and has the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting, preventing or making illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(c) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the primary cause of the issuance, entry, enactment, promulgation, or occurrence of such Order, Law or action;

(d) by Seller by notice to Buyer if there has been a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article 5, or a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer set forth in this Agreement, which breach (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) not to be satisfied and (ii) shall not have been cured within 20 Business Days (or by the Outside Date, if earlier) following receipt by Buyer of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from Seller; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) will not be available to Seller if Seller is then in breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement such that any condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) is not satisfied at such time; or

(e) by Buyer by notice to Seller if there has been a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article 4, or a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller set forth in this Agreement, which breach (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) not to be satisfied and (ii) shall not have been cured within 20 Business Days (or by the Outside Date, if earlier) following receipt by Seller of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from Buyer; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(e) will not be available to Buyer if Buyer is then in breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement such that any condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) is not satisfied at such time.

Section 10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become wholly void and of no further force and effect, all further obligations of the Parties shall terminate and there shall be no Liability on the part of any Party (or any equityholder, Affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or Representative of

106

such Party) to any other Party (or its equityholders, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants or Representatives), except that the provisions of Section 6.2(b), this Section 10.2, Section 10.3 and Article 11 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the Parties shall remain bound by and continue to be subject to the provisions thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall not relieve any Party of any Liability (i) for any Willful Breach of this Agreement or Fraud occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) pursuant to the sections specified in this Section 10.2 to survive such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Willful Breach” means the breach of a covenant by a deliberate action or deliberate omission taken (or deliberately failed to be taken) intentionally with the knowledge that such action or omission constitutes a material breach of such covenant, and which such knowledge, (A) in the case of Seller, shall require the actual knowledge of one or more of the persons listed on Schedule 1.1(a)(vi)(A) of the Disclosure Letter, or (B) in the case of Buyer, shall require the actual knowledge of one or more of the persons listed on Schedule 1.1(a)(vi)(B) of the Disclosure Letter.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whether or not the Closing occurs, Seller and Buyer shall each pay their respective expenses (including legal, investment banker and accounting fees) incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Buyer shall not withhold any portion of the Estimated Purchase Price or Final Purchase Price based on any such non-compliance.

Section 11.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances other than those which it is determined to be illegal, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision with a provision that corresponds as closely as possible to the intentions of the Parties as expressed by such illegal, void or unenforceable provision.

Section 11.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. Copies of executed counterparts transmitted by telecopy, telefax, .pdf email transmission or other electronic transmission service shall be considered original executed counterparts for purposes of this Section 11.4.

Section 11.5 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempted assignment, without such consent, shall be null and void. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than Buyer, Seller or their successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement; provided that (a) the Indemnified Parties shall be express third party beneficiaries of and shall be entitled to rely upon and enforce Article 9 and this Section 11.5(a),

108

and (b) the Business Indemnitees shall be express third party beneficiaries of and shall be entitled to rely upon and enforce Section 6.9 and this Section 11.5(b), and (c) Alston & Bird LLP, Baker & McKenzie LLP and DLA Piper Ireland LLP shall each be a third party beneficiary of and shall be entitled to rely upon and enforce Section 11.13 and this Section 11.5(c), and in each of the foregoing cases, none of such Sections may be amended, modified or waived in manner adverse to such applicable third party beneficiary thereof without the consent of such third party beneficiary.

Section 11.6 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified only by a written instrument executed by both Parties. No waiver by either Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the Party so waiving. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, or a failure or delay by any Party in exercising any power, right or privilege under this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained herein, or in any documents delivered or to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the Closing hereunder. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions referenced in Section 11.5 as being for the benefit of third party beneficiaries (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent such amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provision would modify the substance of such Section or the rights of the third party beneficiaries referenced therein) may not be amended, supplement, waived or otherwise modified in a manner adverse to such third party beneficiary without the prior written consent of such third party beneficiary.

Section 11.7 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof or were otherwise breached and that the Parties shall be entitled (without the requirement to post a bond or other security) to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches and threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall be entitled to obtain any injunction, specific performance or any other equitable relief requiring Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 8.1, on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose, and irrevocably waives its right to object to, the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to enforce any provision of this Agreement not performed in accordance with the terms hereof or that were otherwise breached on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity.

Section 11.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims and Proceedings arising out of this Agreement (and any actions of any Party hereto in the negotiation, administration, or performance hereof or the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal Laws of the State of Delaware (whether arising in contract, tort, equity or otherwise), without regard to any conflicts or choice of law principles that would result in the application of any Law other than the Law of the State of Delaware.

Section 11.9 Consent to Jurisdiction. The Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any Federal court of the United States of America located within the State of Delaware, with respect to any and all claims and Proceedings related to this Agreement (and any actions of any Party hereto in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement of this

109

Agreement) and the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including resolution of disputes under Article 9 hereof), and, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or other Proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or thereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or other Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agree that all claims with respect to such action, suit or other Proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware state court or, to the extent permitted by Law, Federal court. The Parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the Person of such Parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action, suit or Proceeding in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.1 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. With respect to any particular action, suit or other Proceeding contemplated above, venue shall lie solely in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such Federal court located within the State of Delaware. The Parties further agree, to the extent permitted by Law, that final and non-appealable judgment against a party in any action, suit or Proceeding contemplated above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not bring or support any action or Proceeding described in this Section 11.9 other than in the courts as described above.

Section 11.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Disclosure Letter and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto are intended to constitute a single integrated agreement (subject to Section 11.3 herein) and collectively set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, representations or warranties relating to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and any Closing Transfer Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. The Confidentiality Agreement shall be automatically terminated and be of no further force and effect effectively immediately upon the earlier of (a) the Closing and (b) the termination of such Contract in accordance with its terms.

Section 11.11 No Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement creates a joint venture or partnership between the Parties. This Agreement does not authorize any Party (a) to bind or commit, or to act as an agent, employee or legal Representative of, another Party, except as may be specifically set forth in other provisions of this Agreement, or (b) to have the power to control the activities and operations of another Party. The Parties are independent contractors with respect to each other under this Agreement. Each Party agrees not to hold itself out as having any authority or relationship contrary to this Section 11.11.

Section 11.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CONSENTS TO TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDINGS, (B) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.12.

110

Section 11.13 Retention of Counsel. Buyer, for itself and, following the Closing, the Purchased Entities, and for Buyer’s and, following the Closing, the Purchased Entities’ respective successors and assigns, irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications between Seller and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and legal counsel, on the other hand, including Alston & Bird LLP, Baker & McKenzie LLP and DLA Piper Ireland LLP, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any dispute or Proceeding arising under or in connection with, this Agreement that, immediately prior to the Closing, would be deemed to be privileged communications of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Entities) and their counsel, shall continue after the Closing to be privileged communications between Seller and such counsel, and neither Buyer nor any Person, acting or purporting to act on behalf of or through Buyer shall seek to obtain the same by any process on the grounds that the privilege attaching to such communications belongs to the Purchased Entities and not to Seller. Buyer and the Purchased Entities agree that any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection, and expectation of client confidence arising from or as a result of Alston & Bird LLP’s, Baker & McKenzie LLP’s and DLA Piper Ireland LLP’s representation of a Purchased Entity or Seller in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any dispute or Proceeding arising under or in connection with, this Agreement that exists prior to the Closing, and all information and documents covered by such privilege or protection, shall belong to and be controlled by Seller and may be waived only by Seller, and not a Purchased Entity, and shall not pass to or be claimed or used by Buyer or any Purchased Entity, except with respect to the assertion of such privilege or protection against a third party.

Section 11.14 No Admission. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission by Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, in any Proceeding by or on behalf of a third party, that Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, or that such third party or any of its Affiliates, is or is not in breach or violation of, or in default in, the performance or observance of any term or provisions of any Contract.

Section 11.15 No Recourse Against Non-Parties. (a) All claims or causes of action (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 Transaction Documents, or the negotiation, execution, performance or non-performance of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (including any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, and any breach or inaccuracy thereof), may be made only against (and subject to the terms and conditions thereof) the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto or, in the case of the other Transaction Documents, the parties thereto with respect to the specific obligations of such parties set forth therein and (b) no Person who is not an express named party to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, direct or indirect equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or Representative of any named party to this Agreement or the Transaction 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 claims, causes of action, obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or its negotiation, execution performance or non-performance, and each party hereto waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this provision of this Agreement.

111

Section 11.16 Rules of Construction.

(a) The Parties have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and, therefore, with respect to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, and each Exhibit, each Appendix and each Schedule attached hereto or thereto, if an ambiguity or question of interpretation in any Transaction Document should arise, such agreement or document shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto or thereto, as applicable, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening either party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions in any Transaction Document.

(b) When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, Exhibits, Appendices or Schedules, such reference shall be to a Section of, or an Exhibit or Appendix to, this Agreement or Schedule to the Disclosure Letter unless otherwise indicated. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto,” “hereby” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will refer to this Agreement as a whole (including any exhibits, appendices and schedules to this Agreement (unless such exhibits, appendices and schedules are separate, executed agreements, in which case such agreement, when executed and delivered, shall constitute a document independent of this Agreement)) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The words “include,” “including” or “includes” when used herein shall be deemed, in each case, to be followed by the words “without limitation” or words having similar import. The word “or” shall be inclusive and not exclusive, unless used in conjunction with “either” or the like. The phrases “provided to,” “furnished to,” “made available” and phrases of similar import when used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, means that a true, correct and complete copy of the information or material referred to has been physically or electronically provided to the Party to whom such information or material is to be provided, and in addition, in the case of “provided to,” “furnished to,” “delivered to,” or “made available” to Buyer, it means material that has been (i) posted in the “data room” established by or on behalf of Seller and hosted by Datasite under the name “Project Delta” or (ii) physically or electronically (via email or facsimile) provided to Buyer or its Representatives. The headings and table of contents in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not limit or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (A) words of any gender include each other gender; (B) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively; (C) references to “day” or “days” are to calendar days, unless Business Days are expressly specified; (D) any reference in this Agreement to “writing” or comparable expressions includes a reference to e-mail communications or comparable means of communication; (E) references to “non-U.S.” means any non-United States jurisdiction; and (F) references “from” or “through” any date mean, unless otherwise specified, “from and including” or “through and including,” respectively, and, when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is required to be done pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and, if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day. The phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other matter extends, and such phrase shall not simply mean “if.” References to any Law, statute and related regulation shall include any amendments of the same and any successor Laws, statutes and regulations. Each reference to any Contract shall be to such Contract as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date of this Agreement. A reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and permitted assigns. In the event of any express conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document, this Agreement will control. Further, where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, covenant or agreement relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

112

(c) Any reference in this Agreement to wire transfers or other payments requires payment in dollars of the United States of America unless otherwise expressly stated in that reference.
