With respect to each disputed line item, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Seller or Buyer, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Seller in the Notice of Disagreement or by Buyer in the Initial Working Capital Statement with respect to such disputed line item. The statement of Working Capital that is final and binding on the parties, as determined either through agreement of the parties pursuant to Section 2.07(a), 2.08(a) or 2.08(b) or through the action of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.08(c), is referred to as the “Final Working Capital Statement.”

(d) The cost of the Independent Accounting Firm’s review and determination shall be borne in the same proportion as the aggregate amount of the unresolved items set forth by Seller in the Notice of Dispute (“Unresolved Items”) that is unsuccessfully disputed by each (as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of the Unresolved Items submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm. During the review by the Independent Accounting Firm, Buyer and Seller and their accountants will each make available to the Independent Accounting Firm interviews with such personnel, and such information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.08(c); provided, however, that the accountants of Seller or Buyer shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Independent Accounting Firm except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such firm has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

2.09 Post-Closing Adjustment. The “Post-Closing Adjustment” shall be equal to (i) the Final Closing Adjustment less (ii) the Closing Adjustment.

If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive amount, then Seller (on behalf of the Selling Corporations) shall pay in cash to Buyer the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment. Any such payment shall be made within three (3) Business Days after the Final Working Capital Statement becomes such, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate calculated and payable in cash in accordance with Section 2.10 from the Closing Date until the date of payment. For purposes of this Agreement, “Final Closing Adjustment” means the amount of the hypothetical Closing Adjustment assuming the amount of

Working Capital set forth in the Final Working Capital Statement was used in lieu of the Estimated Closing Working Capital.

2.10 Payments and Computations. Except for the payment of the Purchase Price (which shall be paid at the Closing) pursuant to Section 2.03 and the instructions in the Closing Notice, each party shall make each payment due to another party to this Agreement not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day when due.

Whenever any payment under this Agreement shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of, and payment of, interest.

2.11 Allocation of the Purchase Price. Within thirty (30) Business Days after the determination of the Final Working Capital Statement in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.08(c), Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a purchase price allocation schedule (the “Initial Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”), reflecting an allocation of the Total Consideration among the Purchased Assets and the Shares, that is consistent with the allocation of the Pre-Adjustment Amount as set forth on Exhibit D, takes into account any Post-Closing Adjustment, and sets forth the computation of the Section 2.11 Allocated Amount. During the twenty (20) Business Day period immediately following Seller’s receipt of the Initial Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, Seller shall have the opportunity to review and approve such schedule. If Seller reasonably disagrees with the Initial Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer of such disagreement no later than at the end of the twenty Business Day review period, and the reconciliation procedure set forth in Section 2.08 hereof shall apply to resolve any purchase price allocation disputes. The allocation of the Total Consideration that is finally determined as a result of the application of the Section 2.08 reconciliation procedure shall become the “Final Purchase Price Allocation Schedule.” If no such notice is delivered by Seller prior to the expiration of the twenty Business Day review period, then the Initial Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall become the “Final Purchase Price Allocation Schedule.” The parties shall timely file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns and attachments thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in a manner consistent with the Final Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to sustain such allocation in any Tax audit or Tax dispute, unless specifically required to do otherwise pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or an analogous provision of state, local or foreign law. To the extent that payment is made to Seller with respect to Shares or Purchased Assets, respectively, then such payment (in the amount allocated in Final Purchase Price Allocation Schedule and subject to adjustment in accordance with the further provisions of this Agreement) shall be deemed to have been received by Seller on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the entities selling the Shares and the Purchased Assets. “Total Consideration” shall mean the sum of (i) the Purchase Price and (ii) any liabilities, as determined under the United States federal income tax principles, assumed by Buyer.

2.12 Withholding Taxes. In light of the agreement to indemnify pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, Buyer agrees not to withhold tax from any payments made hereunder to Seller or the Selling Corporations. To the extent that Buyer becomes aware that it is required to withhold for any withholding Taxes, Buyer (i) shall provide prompt written notice to Seller of the amount of such Tax and (ii) shall consult with Seller in good faith as to the nature of the Tax and the basis upon which such withholding is required. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain exemptions from, or reductions of, any Taxes required to be withheld from payments under this Agreement.

Seller agrees to, and shall cause its Representatives and Affiliates to: (i) treat and hold as confidential (and not disclose or provide access to any Person to) all information relating to trade secrets, processes, patent applications, product development, price, customer and supplier lists, pricing and marketing plans, policies and strategies, details of client and consultant contracts, operations methods, product development techniques, business acquisition plans, new personnel acquisition plans and all other confidential or proprietary information with respect to the Business and each Business Subsidiary, (ii) in the event that Seller or any such Representative or Affiliate becomes legally compelled to disclose any such information, provide Buyer with prompt written notice of such requirement so that Buyer, or the Business Subsidiaries may seek a protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with this Section 5.03(b), (iii) in the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or Buyer waives compliance with this Section 5.03(b), furnish only that portion of such confidential information which is legally required to be provided and exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such information; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to any information that, at the time of disclosure, is available publicly and was not disclosed in breach of this Agreement by Seller, its Representatives or Affiliates and such information which was not previously known to Seller or any of its Representatives or Affiliates but becomes rightfully known to Seller or its Representatives or Affiliates after Closing, without restriction, from a source (other than Buyer and its Affiliates) not related to Seller’s prior ownership of the Business and without any breach of duty to Buyer or its Affiliates.

5.04 Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Consents.

(a) Each of Buyer and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) promptly obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all federal, state, local and foreign Governmental Authorities that may be, or become, necessary for its performance of its obligations pursuant to, and consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement, (ii) take all such actions as may be requested by any such Governmental Authority to obtain such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals and (iii) avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer and

Seller will cooperate in seeking promptly to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals. Other than as may be required by applicable Law, neither Seller nor Buyer shall take any action that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of materially delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required approvals.

(b) The parties have submitted their respective HSR Act notification and report forms and, within one (1) Business Day after the written request by Seller to Buyer, will request early termination (it being understood that the Closing Date shall be no earlier than December 29, 2010).

Each of Buyer and Seller shall furnish to the other party such information and assistance as such party reasonably may request in connection with the preparation of any submissions to, or proceedings by, any Governmental Authority. Neither party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting, or engage in any conversation, with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other party in advance and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority or applicable Law, and then to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting or conversation. Neither party to this Agreement shall extend, directly or indirectly, any waiting period under the HSR Act or any other Competition Law or enter into any agreement with a Governmental Authority to delay or not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and to Section 5.02, the parties to this Agreement will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing.

(d) Each of Buyer and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable, any clearance required under the HSR Act or any other Competition Laws for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that reasonable best efforts shall not include (i) proposing, negotiating,

(e) Each party to this Agreement agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any other consents and approvals, and submitting any notices or applications and making any filings, that may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.05 Insurance.

(a) Subject to Section 5.05(b), from and after the Closing Date, the Business Subsidiaries shall cease to be insured by Seller’s and its Affiliates’ respective insurance policies and by any of their respective self-insured programs, other than by the Business Subsidiary Policies.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.05(a), (i) no termination of coverage of the Business Subsidiaries under any “occurrence based” policy of Seller in force as of the Closing Date shall be effected so as to prevent the Business Subsidiaries from recovering under such policies for losses covered thereby from events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) no termination of coverage of the Business Subsidiaries under any “claims made” policy of Seller in force as of the Closing Date shall be effected so as to prevent the Business Subsidiaries from recovering under such policies for losses covered thereby arising from or out of any claim made on or prior to the Closing Date, it being understood in each case that the Business Subsidiaries shall be responsible for any deductible payable under the terms of the applicable policy in connection with any such claims.

5.06 Guarantees. At or prior to the Closing, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller’s efforts to obtain from the creditor or other counterparty a full release of Seller and any of its Affiliates (other than the Business Subsidiaries) that are liable, directly or indirectly, for reimbursement to the creditor or fulfillment of other obligations to a counterparty in connection with amounts drawn under the guarantees entered into by or on behalf of Seller, the Selling Corporations or any of their respective Affiliates (other than solely by the Business Subsidiaries) solely to the extent that such guarantees support an

obligation of one or more of the Business Subsidiaries in connection with the Business and are set forth in Section 5.06 of the Disclosure Schedules (together, the “Seller Guarantees”). Buyer further agrees that to the extent Seller or any of its Affiliates incurs any Losses in connection with such Seller Guarantees being called upon on or after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller against, and reimburse Seller for, any and all Losses incurred by Seller in connection with such Seller Guarantee being called upon.

Seller immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, conversations, negotiations and other communications with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. Seller shall notify Buyer promptly if any such proposal or offer, or any inquiry or other contact with any Person with respect thereto, is made and shall, in any such notice to Buyer, indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and the terms and conditions of such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact. Seller agrees not to, and to cause the Selling Companies and the Business Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of Buyer, release any Person from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which Seller, the Selling Companies or the Business Subsidiaries are a party.

5.08 Intercompany Obligations; Debt; Cash; Certain Payment Rights.

(a) Seller shall take, or cause to be taken, such action as may be necessary so that, as of the Closing Date, there shall be no intercompany obligations between the Business Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Business Subsidiaries), on the other hand.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 5.08(b) of the Disclosure Schedules, Seller shall ensure that, as of Closing, none of the Business Subsidiaries shall have any outstanding Debt, or any Liens securing any Debt, and shall provide to Buyer an executed copy of any payoff letters or payoff certificates reasonably requested by Buyer, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, with respect to the payoff of any such Debt, including, without limitation, with respect to the payoff of all amounts outstanding under that certain Letter Agreement, dated January 7, 2008, by and between First Advantage Europe, Ltd. and Bank of America, N.A., as amended July 28, 2009.

(a) For a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, none of Seller, its Subsidiaries or any of their officers, directors or employees shall, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit for employment or hire (whether as an employee, consultant or otherwise) any individual who was an employee of a Business Subsidiary immediately prior to Closing; provided that Seller, its Subsidiaries and their officers, directors and employees shall not be precluded from soliciting or hiring, or taking any other action with respect to any such person who (A) has been terminated by Buyer or its Affiliates (including a Business Subsidiary) prior to commencement of employment discussions between Seller, its Subsidiaries or any of their officers, directors or employees and such person, or (B) responds to general or public solicitation not targeted at employees of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, including the Business Subsidiaries (including by a bona fide search firm) or (ii) solicit, persuade, encourage or take any other action which is intended to induce (A) any vendor or supplier of the Business Subsidiaries to adversely alter, modify or discontinue its relationship with the Business Subsidiaries or (B) any customer or client of the Business Subsidiaries to discontinue, or not to commence, purchasing from the Business Subsidiaries; provided, that Seller and its Affiliates shall not be restricted from engaging in general or public solicitations or advertising not targeted at any such Persons described above.

power of such Person. Buyer expressly acknowledges that Seller and its Subsidiaries other than the Business Subsidiaries currently provide, and will continue to provide following the Closing, products and services which may be competitive with products and services offered by the Business Subsidiaries.

(ii) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Restricted Party” shall mean (i) Seller and (ii) each Affiliate of Seller for the period that such Affiliate is directly or indirectly owned by Seller.

(c) Seller acknowledges that the covenants of Seller set forth in this Section 5.13 are an essential element of this Agreement and that, but for the agreement of Seller to comply with these covenants, Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement. Seller has independently consulted with its counsel and after such consultation agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 5.13 are reasonable and proper. Seller agrees and acknowledges that remedies at law for any breach of its obligations under this Section 5.13 are inadequate and that in addition thereto Buyer shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any such breach.

5.14 Notification of Certain Matters. Except as prohibited by applicable Law, Seller shall give notice to Buyer promptly, and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, of any event, change, occurrence, circumstance or development prior to the Closing which causes or is reasonably likely to cause the conditions set forth in Section 8.02 not to be satisfied or the commencement of any Action by or against Seller, the Selling Companies or the Business Subsidiaries that will or is reasonably likely to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or seeking to enjoin, alter or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section shall not be deemed to modify the representations or warranties hereunder of Seller, and the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section shall not be deemed to (a) modify the conditions set forth in Article VIII, (b) cause the conditions set forth in Section 8.02 not to be satisfied or (c) limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to Buyer.

5.15 Compliance with WARN Act. Buyer shall be responsible for compliance with the WARN Act with respect to terminations and “employment losses” (as defined under the WARN Act) of any Transferred Employees occurring on or after the Closing. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates with respect to any Liabilities and Losses under the WARN Act arising on or after the Closing Date with respect to the Transferred Employees.

5.16 Investigation. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS MADE ITS OWN INQUIRY AND INVESTIGATION INTO, AND, BASED THEREON, HAS FORMED AN INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT CONCERNING THE BUSINESS SUBSIDIARIES, THE BUSINESS AND ANY OTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS TO BE

TRANSFERRED HEREUNDER OR PURSUANT HERETO. BUYER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE ONLY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS MADE BY SELLER ARE THE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS, AND AGREEMENTS MADE IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND BUYER HAS NOT RELIED UPON ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION MADE OR SUPPLIED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLER OR BY ANY AFFILIATE OR REPRESENTATIVE OF SELLER, INCLUDING ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY MANAGEMENT PRESENTATIONS, AND THAT BUYER WILL NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY ARISING OUT OF ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION OR OTHER INFORMATION (ABSENT FRAUD). NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO INVESTIGATION BY BUYER OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES PRIOR TO OR AFTER THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL DIMINISH, OBVIATE OR CURE ANY BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT OR AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE AFFECT BUYER’S RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

5.19 Financing.

(a) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Letter (or on terms no less favorable to Buyer (including with respect to the conditionality thereof)) and shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under the Financing Letter, if such amendment, modification or waiver reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing or amends the conditions precedent to the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the Closing Date or make the funding of the Financing less likely to occur. Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts (i) to maintain in effect the Financing Letter, (ii) to consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, (iv) to comply with its obligations under the Financing Letter and (v) to enforce all of its rights under the Financing Letter and the definitive agreements related thereto. Buyer shall keep Seller informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and provide to Seller, upon its request, copies of the definitive documents related to the Financing.

(b) Buyer shall give Seller prompt notice if any condition to the Financing Letter is not likely to be satisfied, in each case, of which Buyer becomes aware or any termination of the Financing Letter. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the Financing, or any alternative financing, is not a condition to Closing. For purposes of this Section 5.19, references to “Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Letter as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 5.19(b).

(c) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Business Subsidiaries, and its Representatives to, provide such assistance and cooperation as Buyer may reasonably request in connection with any proposed financing, including, without limitation, the contemplated Tennenbaum Capital Partners debt financing (provided, that such requested assistance and cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operation of the Business), including (i) making senior management reasonably available for customary lender meetings and “roadshow” presentations and cooperating with prospective lenders in performing their due diligence, (ii) cooperating in the preparation of any offering memorandum or similar document, (iii) furnishing Buyer and its financing sources with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Business as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, including financial statements and financial data, and (iv) causing the Business Subsidiaries to provide and execute documents as may be reasonably requested by Buyer; provided, that the Business Subsidiaries shall not be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with such financing prior to the Closing.

5.20 Continuing Business Relationship. Following the Closing, Seller and Buyer desire that (i) Seller and/or its Affiliates continue to purchase certain products and services of the Business used by Seller and/or its Affiliates immediately prior to Closing and (ii) Buyer and/or its Affiliates purchase certain data and other products from Seller and/or its Affiliates provided to the Business immediately prior to Closing. Seller and Buyer agree to negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of such arrangement after Closing; provided, however, neither party shall have any liability to the other party for the failure to enter into a mutually agreeable arrangement with respect to the foregoing.

(a) Buyer agrees to provide, or to cause each Business Subsidiary to provide, each Transferred Employee while such Transferred Employee remains employed with Buyer or the Buyer Subsidiaries: for the period ending on December 31, 2011, employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, that (A) the foregoing shall not apply to any Transferred Employee who is subject to a collective bargaining agreement to which any Business Subsidiary is a party and (B) notwithstanding the foregoing, until December 31, 2011, Buyer agrees to provide, or cause a Business Subsidiary to provide in all material respects, such compensation, benefits and terms of employment to Transferred Employees outside of the United States following the Closing as required by applicable Law and subject to Section 6.02(b) below. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer shall provide, or shall cause the Business Subsidiaries or other Affiliates to provide such cash severance pay and severance benefits provided under the terms of the Subsidiary Plans and any Employment Agreements which the Business Subsidiaries are legally bound to provide immediately prior to the Closing Date to any Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated without cause during the period following the Closing and ending twelve (12) months following the Closing Date on terms and in amounts no less favorable than the cash severance benefits and severance benefits to which such Transferred Employee would have been entitled to, and to which the Business Subsidiaries would have been legally bound to pay, immediately prior to the Closing Date, provided that, to the extent severance benefits include continued medical coverage, such coverage shall be as provided under New Plans and not Seller Plans.

(b) For the first thirty (30) days commencing on the Closing Date (the “Seller Continuation Period”), Seller shall, or cause its Affiliates to, be responsible for providing (i) medical, dental, and vision coverage to each Transferred Employee and his/her eligible covered family members, including COBRA Continuation Coverage to individuals who incur a qualifying event within the Seller Continuation Period, and (ii) a tax gross-up to make each Transferred Employee who receives coverage whole for the tax consequences of Seller providing such coverage, including a payment in respect of all incremental taxes due as a result of any gross-up payment, and Seller shall indemnify and make Buyer whole for any Liability relating to Seller’s failure to provide such coverage. As of the expiration of the Seller Continuation Period and through the period ending on the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or cause the Business Subsidiaries to provide,

medical, dental and vision coverage to all Transferred Employees and their eligible covered family members without any waiting period and without regard to any preexisting condition (to the extent waived under comparable Seller Plans or Subsidiary Plans or otherwise required by applicable Law). After the expiration of the Seller Continuation Period, Buyer shall assume all responsibilities related to providing COBRA Continuation Coverage to the Transferred Employees for qualifying events occurring after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Transferred Employees who previously elected COBRA Continuation Coverage under Seller’s applicable plans due to the occurrence of a qualifying event occurring after the Closing Date may continue to participate in COBRA Continuation Coverage under Seller’s applicable plans in accordance with applicable law; provided, however, that all costs for such coverage incurred after the expiration of the Seller Continuation Period shall be reimbursed by Buyer and Buyer shall indemnify Seller for the administrative costs related to providing COBRA Continuation Coverage to Transferred Employees that are not otherwise covered by a Transferred Employee’s COBRA Continuation Coverage premiums. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall retain responsibility for COBRA obligations related to qualifying events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date.

(c) The Business Subsidiaries shall remain responsible for all Paid Time Off of any Transferred Employee as of the Closing Date.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall provide, or shall cause the Business Subsidiaries to provide, the bonuses or commissions earned and/or accrued in calendar year 2010 to each of the Transferred Employees (including but not limited to any retention bonuses, success bonuses, or payments pursuant to any incentive compensation plans) as set forth in Section 6.02(d) of the Disclosure Schedules. At Buyer’s written request, Seller shall promptly reimburse or advance to Buyer all amounts provided by Buyer or any of the Business Subsidiaries or other Affiliates of Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.02(d) pursuant to the agreements set forth in the “Retention/Success” subsection of Section 6.02(d) of the Disclosure Schedules, or any such amounts reasonably expected to be provided to such employees within thirty (30) days of such written request, including applicable Taxes thereon. At Seller’s written request, Buyer shall certify that all such amounts were due under such agreements and were actually paid to the relevant employee(s). Buyer shall promptly refund to Seller any payments made by Seller under this Section 6.02(d) to the extent that the amount of actual payments made by Buyer under such agreements with respect to a particular employee exceed the amount of payments or advances funded by Seller under this Section 6.02(d) with respect to such employee.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller agrees to retain responsibility with respect to continuing long-term disability coverage (on terms substantially consistent with current coverage) to any Transferred Employee on long-term disability as of the Closing Date if coverage does not transfer with such Transferred Employee and if any new long-term disability plan adopted by a Business Subsidiary after the Closing Date does not accept the enrollment of such Transferred Employee.

6.03 Assumption of Employment Contracts and Subsidiary Plans. Buyer or its Affiliates shall assume, or shall cause the Business Subsidiaries to continue, as the case may be,

sponsorship of, and all obligations with respect to, (i) each Employment Agreement, and (ii) each Subsidiary Plan, (to the extent set forth in Section 3.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedules) subject to any amendment or termination thereof that may be permitted by such terms of a Subsidiary Plan, subject to the provisions of Section 6.02(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall bear and, following the Closing, continue to be responsible for (i) all Liabilities with respect to terminations of employment prior to the Closing and (ii) all Liabilities arising under Employment Agreements with individuals listed in Section 6.03 of the Disclosure Schedules.

6.04 Credit for Service; Welfare Benefits.

(a) For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and, solely with respect to vacation and severance, level of benefits under the employee benefit plans of Buyer and its Affiliates providing benefits to any Transferred Employees after the Closing Date (the “New Plans”), each Transferred Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with Seller and the Business Subsidiaries (and their predecessors) before the Closing Date, to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled, before the Closing Date, to credit for such service under any similar employee benefit plan in which such Transferred Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing Date, provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits.

(b) In addition, and without limiting the generality of subsection 6.04(a) above and subject to the first sentence of Section 6.02(b), for the period ending on December 31, 2010 and, with respect to short-term disability coverage, until the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, (A) each Transferred Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent benefits or coverage under such New Plan replaces (or is intended to replace) the same or similar benefits or coverage under an Employee Plan in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately before the Closing Date (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (B) for purposes of each New Plan, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause: (i) each New Plan to waive all pre-existing condition exclusions, eligibility waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements and requirements to show evidence of good health with respect to participation and coverage requirements for each Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents (including domestic partners), unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable Seller Plan or Subsidiary Plan in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date; and (ii) any eligible expenses incurred by such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Transferred Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductibles, coinsurance payments, co-payments and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(c) Except as otherwise provide in Section 6.04(b), commencing thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, any claims of Transferred Employees and their eligible beneficiaries and dependents for health and welfare that are incurred on or after thirty (30) days

after the Closing Date shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer and Buyer’s New Plans. For purposes of the preceding sentence of this Section 6.04(c), a medical/dental claim shall be considered incurred on the date when the medical/dental services are rendered or medical/dental supplies are provided and not when the condition arose or when the course of treatment began. With respect to disability benefits, a disability claim shall be determined in accordance with the disability plans or policies of Buyer and Seller; provided, that neither Buyer nor Seller shall amend its plans to specifically exclude claims of Transferred Employees that would otherwise be recognized under such plan but for the amendment.

6.05 Cooperation as to Payroll Withholding. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, Seller and Buyer each agree to use reasonable best efforts and cooperate in good faith to promptly establish a process for, and to implement such process that causes, Seller to provide Buyer with such wage, wage withholding and other human resources and payroll-related information as is reasonably required for Buyer to implement the “successor employer” regulations relating to wage withholding contained in Treasury Regulation § 31.3121(a)(1)-1(b) and Revenue Procedure 2004-53 and transition payroll processing and employer record keeping to Buyer as of the Closing Date, except to the extent providing such information is prohibited by applicable Law.

6.06 Communication with the Business Employees. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate in good faith to establish a process and means by which broad-based oral and written communications and notices to the Business Employees regarding post-Closing matters relating to terms and conditions of employment, compensation and employee benefits shall be made by each of Seller and Buyer after the date of this Agreement.

6.07 Third Party Rights/Amendments to Employee Plans. Except as provided in Section 5.01, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall affect the right of Seller (or, following the Closing, Buyer and its Subsidiaries) to terminate the employment of any employee, including any Business Employee. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant any current or former employee of any Business Subsidiary a right to continued employment by, or to receive any payment or benefits from, any Business Subsidiary or through any Employee Plan, including any Seller Plan or Subsidiary Plan, or other benefit plan that increases or expands such Person’s rights beyond what is provided by the terms of such plan. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall not limit the ability or right of Seller or its Affiliates (or Buyer or its Affiliates after the Closing) to amend or terminate any Employee Plan or other benefit or compensation plan or program and nothing contained herein shall be construed as an amendment to or modification of any such plan. Nothing contained in this Article VI, express or implied, shall (i) constitute an amendment to any Employee Plan, including any Seller Plan or Subsidiary Plan, or other benefit plan, (ii) create any third party beneficiary rights or (iii) inure to the benefit of or be enforceable by any employee, director or consultant of Seller, Buyer, any Business Subsidiary or their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, of any entity or any Person representing the interest of any employees, directors or consultants or of any Person whose rights are derivative of any such employee (including a family member or estate of the employee).

ARTICLE VII

TAX MATTERS

7.01 Tax Indemnification.

(a) Seller shall be responsible for, pay or cause to be paid, and shall indemnify Buyer and each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including the Business Subsidiaries after the Closing Date) (each a “Buyer Tax Indemnitee”) and hold each Buyer Tax Indemnitee harmless from and against, without duplication, any and all (i) Excluded Taxes (other than any Taxes reflected as a liability in the Final Working Capital Statement) and (ii) Taxes attributable to any breach by Seller of the covenant in Section 5.01(r); provided that any such liability described in subclause (i) and (ii) shall be calculated by taking into account any net operating loss (or similar tax attribute) or credit available to the Business Subsidiaries in such Pre-Closing Tax Period, as determined prior to the utilization of any such attributes by Buyer during the Post-Closing Tax Period.

(b) Buyer shall be responsible for, pay or cause to be paid, and shall indemnify Seller and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (other than the Business Subsidiaries) (each a “Seller Tax Indemnitee”) and hold each Seller Tax Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all (i) Taxes of or imposed on the Business Subsidiaries or the Purchased Assets for any Post-Closing Tax Period other than Taxes included in the definition of Excluded Taxes, (ii) Taxes attributable to any breach by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of the covenants in Section 7.07, and (iii) of the portion of Transfer Taxes for which Buyer is responsible pursuant to Section 7.06.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period of a Business Subsidiary, (i) Property Taxes of such Business Subsidiary allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) Taxes (other than Property Taxes) of such Business Subsidiary allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the end of the day on the Closing Date; provided, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period relating to the Purchased Assets, Property Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

7.02 Tax Returns.

(a) Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared and, to the extent permitted by law, file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed or that may be filed by the Business Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Straddle Period) in a manner consistent with past practice with respect to the Business Subsidiaries unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b) Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice with respect to the Business Subsidiaries unless otherwise required by applicable Law, all foreign, state, and local Tax Returns required to be filed by any of the Business Subsidiaries on separate return basis after the Closing Date and not otherwise previously filed pursuant to Section 7.02(a) with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Straddle Period) (such Tax Returns “Separate Pre-Closing Tax Returns”). To the extent that any such Separate Pre-Closing Tax Return would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on any of the Business Subsidiaries for Post-Closing Tax Period, Buyer shall have the right to review and comment on such return and Seller shall consider in good faith any comments reasonably request by Buyer. Each Separate Pre-Closing Tax Return shall be filed timely by the applicable Business Subsidiary, and the applicable Business Subsidiary shall pay the Tax required to be shown due thereon. In addition, Seller shall prepare, in a manner determined in the Seller’s sole discretion, and file U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Returns with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period that (x) are filed on a consolidated, combined or unitary basis with Seller or any of the Selling Corporations, (y) include any of the Business Subsidiaries and (z) are required to be filed after the Closing Date (such Tax Returns “Consolidated Pre-Closing Tax Returns”), and shall pay or cause to be paid the amount of Tax required to be shown due thereon. The Business Subsidiaries shall cooperate fully in providing all information in their possession and not otherwise available to the Seller that is required to be included in such separate Pre-Closing Tax Returns or Consolidated Pre-Closing Tax Returns as the Seller may reasonably request.

(e) Buyer shall submit each Tax Return prepared for a Straddle Period to Seller (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent reasonably required by Seller, supporting documentation) at least 30 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Seller objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within 30 days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Buyer in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection is duly delivered, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items.

(f) To the extent any amount for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 7.01(a) is required to be paid in respect of any Separate Pre-Closing Tax Return after the Closing Date, Seller shall pay such amount to Buyer or the applicable Business Subsidiary at least five days before payment of such amount is due (including estimated Taxes).

(g) To the extent any amount for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 7.01(a) is required to be paid in respect of any Consolidated Pre-Closing Tax Return after the Closing Date, Seller shall pay such amount to the applicable taxing authority at or before the time at which payment of such amount is due (including estimated Taxes), and furnish Buyer or the applicable Business Subsidiary with evidence of such payment.

(h) Any refund paid or credited to a Business Subsidiary with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax period shall be for Seller’s account, except for any refund attributable to any post-Closing deduction, loss, credit or similar benefit. The portion of any refund paid or credited to a Business Subsidiary that is attributable to the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Tax Period shall be for Seller’s account, except for any refund attributable to any post-Closing deduction, loss, credit or similar benefit. All other refunds paid or credited to a Business Subsidiary shall be for the Business Subsidiaries’ account. The applicable Business Subsidiary shall pay to Seller the amount of any refund that is for Seller’s account within 15 days after receipt thereof by the applicable Business Subsidiary. The parties shall cooperate in making a formal or informal claim for any refund attributable to a Straddle Period.

(i) Any refund paid or credited to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, other than any Business Subsidiary, with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax period shall be for Seller’s account, except for any refund attributable to any post-Closing deduction, loss, credit or similar benefit. The portion of any refund paid or credited to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, other than any Business Subsidiary, that is attributable to the post-Closing portion of any Straddle Tax Period shall be for Buyer’s account. All other refunds paid or credited to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, other than a Business Subsidiary shall be for Seller’s account. The Seller or the applicable Affiliate shall pay to Buyer the amount of any refund that is for Buyer’s account within 15 days after receipt thereof by Seller or the applicable Affiliate. The parties shall cooperate in making a formal or informal claim for any refund attributable to a Straddle Period.

7.03 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. After the Closing Date, the parties shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to each other, upon request, in a timely manner, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance relating to the Business Subsidiaries as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Return, for the preparation of any audit, for the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any proposed adjustment and for Tax planning.

7.04 Tax Contests.

(a) Each party entitled to an indemnity payment pursuant to Section 7.01 (a “Tax Indemnified Party”) agrees to give written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Tax Indemnitor”) which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any audit, suit, action or proceeding (collectively, a “Tax Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be

sought ( an “Indemnifiable Tax”) within 30 days of such receipt or such earlier time as would allow the Tax Indemnitor to timely respond to such Tax Claim; provided, however, that a failure to give such notice will not affect a Tax Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Tax Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure (and then only to the extent of such prejudice).

(b) The Tax Indemnitor shall, at its own expense, assume control of the defense of any Tax Claim for any Indemnifiable Tax so long as the Tax Indemnitor acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Tax Indemnified Parties for the full amount of any adjustment for an Indemnifiable Tax that may be made as a result of such Tax Claim. Subject to 7.04(c), if the Tax Indemnitor assumes control of such defense, the Tax Indemnitor shall (i) notify the Tax Indemnified Party of significant developments with respect to such Tax Claim and keep the Tax Indemnified Party reasonably informed, (ii) consult with the Tax Indemnified Party with respect to any issue that reasonably could be expected to have an adverse effect on the Tax Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates (including by giving rise to an indemnity obligation of the Tax Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates), and without limiting in any manner whatsoever Tax Indemnitor’s rights to control and resolve such Tax Claim as Tax Indemnitor in its sole discretion decides, Tax Indemnitor will consult with the Tax Indemnified Party in good faith to mitigate any such adverse effect on the Tax Indemnified Party, and (iii) give to the Tax Indemnified Party a copy of any Tax adjustment proposed in writing with respect to such Tax Claim and copies of any other material correspondences with the relevant taxing authority with respect to such Tax Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tax Indemnitor shall not pay or compromise any material tax liability of or relating to any of the Business Subsidiaries asserted with respect to any Tax Claim that arises from any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period and that relates to an issue that materially recurs for any Post-Closing Tax Period, without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably, withheld, delayed or conditioned. This subsection shall not be construed to require Seller or any of its Affiliates to make available to the Buyer or any other Person any of their Consolidated Pre-Closing Tax Returns or any other Tax Return that is filed on a combined, consolidated, affiliated or unitary basis.

(c) With respect to any Tax claim relating to Taxes for any Straddle Period, Buyer shall, at its own expense, assume control of the defense of such Tax Claim; provided that Buyer shall (i) notify Seller of significant developments with respect to such Tax Claim and keep Seller reasonably informed, (ii) consult with Seller with respect to any issue that reasonably could be expected to have an adverse effect on Seller or any of its Affiliates (including by giving rise to an indemnity obligation of Seller or any of its Affiliates), and (iii) give to Seller a copy of any Tax adjustment proposed in writing with respect to such Tax Claim and copies of any other material correspondences with the relevant taxing authority with respect to such Tax Claim. Buyer shall not pay or compromise any Tax liability asserted with respect to any Tax Claim relating to Taxes for any Straddle Period, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.03, the Tax Indemnified Party shall give the Tax Indemnitor such information with respect to any Tax Claim as the Tax

Indemnitor may reasonably request. In addition, if, and to the extent required, the Tax Indemnified Party shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered by the relevant taxpayer, reasonable powers of attorney or other documents authorizing the Tax Indemnitor to defend and settle such Tax Claim in accordance with this Section 7.04.

7.05 Tax Sharing Agreements. To the extent relating to the Business Subsidiaries, Seller shall terminate or cause to be terminated, on or before the Closing Date, all Tax sharing agreements or arrangements (other than this Agreement), if any, to which any of the Business Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are parties, so that neither Seller or any of its Affiliates nor any of the Business Subsidiaries shall have any rights or obligations thereunder after the Closing.

7.06 Transfer Taxes. Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible for and shall pay fifty percent of all documentary, sales, use, registration, value added, ad valorem, transfer, stamp and similar Taxes, fees and costs (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it being understood that Transfer Taxes shall not include Taxes on gain or withholding Taxes. Each party shall file all Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes which such party is required by Law to file, and, if required by Law, the other party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

7.07 Certain Actions by Buyer.

(a) Buyer shall not, and shall cause the Business Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of Seller, from the period commencing with the Closing Date until December 31, 2010 pay any dividends or distributions with respect to any Foreign Business Subsidiary (other than any Foreign Business Subsidiary for which a 338(g) election has been made pursuant to Section 7.07(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the covenants contained in this Section 7.07(a) shall apply only if the Closing Date occurs on or prior to December 31, 2010, and such covenants shall not apply if the Closing Date occurs on or after January 1, 2011.

(b) At the election of Buyer, Buyer shall be permitted to make, or caused to be made, an election pursuant to Section 338(g) of the Code (or similar election under state, local, or foreign Law) with respect to the acquisition of the Shares or the equity interests of any Business Subsidiary, provided that, in connection with any such election, Buyer shall (A) no later than 60 days prior to the filing of such election, determine and provide to Seller an allocation of the relevant portion of the Total Consideration among the assets that will be deemed to be acquired, for United States federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Section 338(g) of the Code, in accordance with Section 338 and the applicable Treasury Regulations, (B) consult with Seller, in good faith, as to the determination of such allocation and any relevant considerations relating thereto, (C) no later than 30 days following the delivery by Seller to Buyer of a written statement setting forth the computation of the Reimbursement Amount (as defined below) in reasonable detail, reimburse Seller or any of its Affiliates (as the case may be) for any increased Taxes incurred by Seller or any of its Affiliates as a result of any Section 338(g) election or analogous elections made, or to be made, such that the Seller or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, will receive the same after-tax proceeds as if the applicable Selling Corporation

had sold stock and no Section 338(g) election or any analogous election was made (the “Reimbursement Amount”), and (D) promptly provide written notice to Seller of any audit or other investigation that may be initiated in connection with a Section 338(g) election or any analogous election. If the Buyer and Seller disagree as to the computation of the Reimbursement Amount, the reconciliation procedure set forth in Section 2.08 hereof shall apply to resolve any such dispute.

7.08 Exclusivity. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, indemnification with respect to Tax matters and the procedures relating thereto shall be governed exclusively by this Article VII and the provisions of Article X shall not apply.

7.09 Survival. The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.17 shall terminate on the Closing Date. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any party pursuant to Section 7.01, shall terminate 60 days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the Tax liabilities in question (giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof); provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the person to be indemnified shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a specific claim by delivering to the party claimed to be providing the indemnification a notice of such claim pursuant to Section 7.04, stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim.

7.10 Tax Treatment of Payments. Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) or otherwise by applicable Law, Seller, Buyer and their respective affiliates shall treat any and all payments under this Article VII, Section 2.09 or Article X, and any and all payments from Seller to Buyer under Section 11.02 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

7.11 FIRPTA Certificates. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer the certificates of non-foreign status of each of the Selling Corporations (other than CoreLogic Investments Corporation) described in Section 2.05(d).

(b) by either Seller or Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred by March 31, 2011 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(b) shall not be available to a party whose failure to take any action required to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the conditions to the obligation of the other party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement set forth in Article VIII to be satisfied by such date;

(c) by Seller if all the conditions set forth in Section 8.02 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions to be satisfied or waived by action taken at the Closing), and Buyer fails to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within three (3) Business Days following the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.02; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(c) shall not be available to Seller if its failure to take any action required to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the conditions set

forth in Section 8.02 to be satisfied by the date after which Seller may terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(c);

(d) by either Seller or Buyer in the event of the issuance of a final, nonappealable Governmental Order by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction in the United States restraining or prohibiting the sale of the Shares;

(e) by Seller, if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or failure to be true of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of Buyer, which breach or failure to be true would result in, if occurring or continuing at the Closing, the failure of the conditions set forth in Sections 8.01(a), (b) and (c) and which is not cured by the earlier of (i) the Termination Date and (ii) thirty (30) days following written notice to Buyer of such breach or failure to be true; provided, that Seller shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(e) if Seller is then in material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; or

(f) by Buyer, if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or failure to be true of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of Seller, which breach or failure to be true would result in, if occurring or continuing at the Closing, the failure of the then-applicable conditions set forth in Sections 8.02(a), (b) and (c), and which is not cured by the earlier of (i) the Termination Date and (ii) thirty (30) days following written notice to Seller of such breach or failure to be true; provided, that Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(f) if Buyer is then in material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

9.02 Notice of Termination. Any party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 shall give written notice of such termination to the other party or parties, as the case may be, to this Agreement.

9.03 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and, except in the case of any material breach of this Agreement, there shall be no liability on the part of any party to this Agreement, except as set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.03 and Article XI (other than Section 11.01) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

9.04 Extension; Waiver.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party granting such extension or waiver.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

10.01 Indemnification by Seller.

(a) Subject to Sections 10.01(b), 10.03, 10.05 and 11.01, if the Closing shall occur, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and its Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against, and reimburse any Buyer Indemnified Party for, all Losses that such Buyer Indemnified Party may suffer, accrue or incur, or become subject to, to the extent resulting from, attributable to, based upon or arising out of:

(i) the breach of or inaccuracy in any representations or warranties made by Seller in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.17 hereof) as of the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date (or with respect to representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date, as of such date);

(ii) the breach or failure by Seller to perform, or cause to be performed, any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement (other than the covenants or obligations contained in Section 5.01(r), and Article VII hereof);

(iii) any unpaid costs and expenses of the Business Subsidiaries, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisers and accountants, incurred in connection with the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements on or prior to the Closing Date;

(iv) any claim, cause of action or Action by any Person arising before, on or after the Closing Date against any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any business activity of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Business Subsidiaries) other than the Business; or

(v) except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 10.03(b), the Actions set forth on Section 10.01(a)(v) of the Disclosure Schedules (net of any insurance proceeds and other reimbursements actually received by Buyer or its Affiliates relating to such matters).

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary:

(i) Seller shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Buyer Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Buyer Indemnified Party for, any Losses pursuant to Section 10.01(a)(i), (A) to the extent such Losses were included as liabilities in Working Capital as shown on the Final Working Capital Statement, and (B) until the aggregate amount of the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ Losses under Section 10.01(a)(i) exceeds $2,650,000

(the “Threshold”), after which Seller shall be obligated for all Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, but only if such Losses are not excluded from indemnification pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i)(A); provided, however, any and all Losses payable pursuant to (x) Section 7.01(a)(i) with respect to clause (D) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (y) Section 10.01(a)(v) shall not be counted for purposes of determining whether the Threshold has been reached;

(ii) the cumulative indemnification obligation of Seller under Section 10.01(a)(i) shall in no event exceed $26,500,000 (the “Cap”);

provided, that any qualification of the representations and warranties (other than the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.07(b)) by reference to the materiality of or Material Adverse Effect relating to the matters stated therein, or words of similar effect, shall be disregarded in determining any breach thereof or the amount of any Loss arising therefrom and provided, further, that neither the Threshold nor the Cap shall apply to any claim involving Losses resulting from or arising out of breach of the representations and warranties made in Sections 3.03, 3.18, or 3.19 .

10.02 Indemnification by Buyer.

(a) Subject to Sections 10.03, 10.05 and 11.01, if the Closing shall occur, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and its Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against, and reimburse any Seller Indemnified Party for, all Losses that such Seller Indemnified Party may suffer, accrue or incur, or become subject to, to the extent resulting from, attributable to, based upon or arising out of:

(i) the breach of or inaccuracy in any representations or warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date (or with respect to representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date, as of such date);

(ii) the breach or failure by Buyer to perform, or cause to be performed, any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement (other than the covenants or obligations contained in Article VIII hereof); or

(iii) any claim, cause of action or Action by any Person arising before, on or after the Closing Date against any Seller Indemnified Party with respect to the Business Subsidiaries or the Business (including Buyer’s actions with respect to the Business subsequent to the Closing Date), except for any claims with respect to which Seller is obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties under a Transaction Agreement (without giving effect to any monetary, temporal or other limitations on Seller’s indemnification obligations thereunder).

10.03 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under a Transaction Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under such agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article X except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure (and then only to the extent of such prejudice), it being agreed that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 10.01 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a Third Party Claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.03(a), the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party and so long as the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for Losses related to such Third Party Claim); provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense and shall (and shall cause its counsel to) reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party’s counsel in its so participating; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim (x) involving criminal liability, (y) seeking injunctive relief, or (z) by a current material customer or supplier of the Business or Buyer (each such Third Party Claim, an “Excluded Claim”). The Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to avoid material prejudice to defend such Third Party Claim prior to the time that it receives notice from the Indemnifying Party as contemplated by the preceding sentence. In the event of any Excluded Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party at the time a Notice of Claim in respect of such Excluded Claim is first given to the Indemnifying Party, have the right to elect to either (A) assume and conduct the defense of such Excluded Claim, or (B) submit such Excluded Claim to the Indemnifying Party, in which case such Third Party Claim shall no longer constitute an Excluded Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 10.03(b), or such claim is an Excluded Claim and the Indemnified Party elects to assume and conduct the defense of such Excluded Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense, but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence after consultation with the Indemnified Party and shall use commercially reasonable efforts in the

defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim. Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim, including by furnishing books and records, personnel and witnesses, as appropriate for any defense of such Third Party Claim, in each case at no cost to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, it shall consent to the settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall assume the sole defense and control of any Third Party Claims referenced in Section 10.01(a)(v) (at the expense of Seller) and Buyer shall cooperate with Seller and its counsel in connection with the defense or settlement of such matter (including any appeals or arbitrations with respect thereto); provided, that Seller shall allow Buyer a reasonable opportunity to monitor the defense of such matter with its own counsel at its own expense (which expenses shall be excluded from the indemnity provided in Section 10.01(a)(v) of this Agreement).

(c) If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 10.01 or 10.02 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment.

10.04 Exclusive Remedies. Except with respect to the matters covered by Sections 2.07 through 2.09 and with respect to any matter relating to Taxes (which shall be governed exclusively by Article VII), Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of Sections 10.01 and 10.02 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Seller and Buyer, respectively, for any Losses (including any Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that each party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with, any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement by the other party, or any failure by the other party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement that, by its terms, was to have been performed, or complied with, by such other party prior to the Closing; provided, however, that this section shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief or preclude a party from bringing an action for fraud or a knowing misrepresentation.

10.05 Additional Indemnification Provisions.

(a) With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in a Transaction Agreement (i) all Losses shall be net of any third-party insurance proceeds that have been recovered by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of

indemnification (it being agreed that if third-party insurance proceeds in respect of such facts are recovered by the Indemnified Party subsequent to the Indemnifying Party’s making of an indemnification payment in satisfaction of its applicable indemnification obligation, such proceeds shall be remitted to the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the indemnification payment made, after deducting related costs and expenses of making such insurance claims and any resulting increased premium costs), and the Indemnified Party shall use, and cause its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance provisions covering such Loss to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder, and (ii) in no event shall the Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages, except to the extent actually required to be paid to a Governmental Authority or other third party.

(b) The rights and remedies of any party in respect of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall in no way be limited by the fact that the act, omission, occurrence or other state of facts or circumstances upon which any claim of any such inaccuracy or breach is based may also be the subject matter of any other representation, warranty, covenant or agreement as to which there is no inaccuracy or breach. The representations, warranties and covenants of Seller and Buyer’s rights to indemnification with respect thereto shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of Buyer (including by any of its advisors, consultants or representatives) or by reason of the fact that Buyer or any of such advisors, consultants or representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of Buyer’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 8.02.

10.06 Mitigation. Each of the parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder; provided, however, that the costs of such mitigation shall be indemnifiable Losses.

ARTICLE XI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

11.01 Survival. The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or in any certificate furnished pursuant to this Agreement shall survive in full force and effect until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (other than the representations and warranties made in Section 3.17, which shall survive solely to the extent provided in Section 7.09), at which time they shall terminate (and no claims shall be made for indemnification under Section 10.01 or 10.02 thereafter); provided, however, that (a) the representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.19, 4.01, 4.02 and 4.09 shall survive the Closing indefinitely and (b) the representations and warranties made in Section 3.14(c) shall survive until the expiry of the applicable statutes of limitation, and (c) the representations and warranties made in Section 3.14(g) shall survive until

the earlier of (x) the expiry of the applicable statutes of limitation and (y) the date that is three (3) years after the Closing Date. The covenants and agreements of Seller and Buyer to be wholly performed prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, and the covenants and agreements that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing Date shall survive for the period provided in such covenants and agreements, if any, or until fully performed. After the end of the applicable period set forth in each of the two preceding sentences, no claim for breach of such representations, warranties or covenants may be brought, and no action with respect thereto may be commenced, and no party shall have any liability or obligation with respect thereto, unless the Indemnified Party gave written notice to the Indemnifying Party, specifying in reasonable detail the circumstances with respect to the breach of the representation, warranty or covenant claimed, on or before the expiration of such period, as applicable, in which case the right of the party providing such written notice to assert its right to indemnification as to the matters so noticed shall not expire until the dispute is resolved.

Except as may otherwise be specified in the Transaction Agreements and in the expense reimbursement letter agreement dated November 17, 2010, between Seller and Symphony Technology Group, and the binding expense reimbursement provisions of the letter agreements dated November 28, 2010, December 15, 2010 and December 22, 2010, between Seller and Symphony Technology Group, all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisers and accountants, and financing sources incurred in connection with the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements shall be paid by the Person incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred; provided, however, that the costs and expenses of the Business Subsidiaries incurred on or prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller.

11.04 Public Announcements. Neither party to this Agreement or any Affiliate or Representative of such party shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by Law or stock exchange rules, in which case the party required to publish such press release or public announcement shall use reasonable efforts to provide the other party a reasonable opportunity to comment on such press release or public announcement in advance of such publication.

11.05 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

11.06 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Transaction Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreement, the expense reimbursement letter agreement dated November 17, 2010, between Seller and Symphony Technology Group, and the binding expense reimbursement provisions of the letter agreements dated November 28, 2010, December 15, 2010 and December 22, 2010, between Seller and Symphony Technology Group, constitute the entire agreement of Seller or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer or its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter of the Transaction Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement and supersede all prior agreements, undertakings and understandings, both written and oral to the extent not in conflict with this Agreement, between or on behalf of Seller or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer or its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter of the Transaction Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement.

11.07 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of Seller and Buyer, except that (i) Seller may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its controlled Affiliates and (ii) Buyer may assign its rights to purchase the Shares and the Purchased Assets hereunder to (i) one or more of its Affiliates or (ii) for collateral security purposes to any lender providing any financing to Buyer or its Affiliates; provided, in each case, that no such assignment shall release the assignor from any liability or obligation under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 11.07 shall be void. This Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.

11.08 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article X with respect to Seller Indemnified Parties and Buyer Indemnified Parties and Section 11.07(ii), this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy. The Seller and its Subsidiaries expressly agree and acknowledge that no potential or actual lender to the Buyer or its Affiliates shall have any liability or obligation (whether known or unknown, whether asserted or unasserted, whether accrued or unaccrued, whether liquidated or unliquidated, whether fixed, absolute or contingent, whether in contract, tort or otherwise and including all fees, costs, expenses, damages, losses, fines, penalties and assessments relating thereto) under this Agreement. The potential and actual lenders to the Buyer or its Affiliates are third party beneficiaries of the immediately preceding sentence.

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

11.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a) The Transaction Agreements and any claims or disputes arising out of or related hereto or thereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or to the inducement of any party to enter herein or therein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise (a “Dispute”)) shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, in each case without reference to any conflict of Law rules that might lead to the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each of Seller and Buyer agrees that any Dispute shall be resolved only in the Courts (whether in law or chancery) of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Delaware Courts”). In that context, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Seller and Buyer by this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i) submits for itself and its property in any Action relating to the Transaction Agreements, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such Action shall be heard and determined in the Delaware Courts;

(ii) consents that any such Action may and shall be brought in the Delaware Courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding, that it is not subject thereto or that such Action may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts;

(iii) agrees that service of process in any such Action may be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address as provided in Section 11.03;

(iv) agrees that it will not bring any Action in any court other than the Delaware Courts; and

(v) agrees that nothing in the Transaction Agreements shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the Laws of the State of Delaware.

11.11 Specific Performance. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of any party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including its failure to take all actions as are necessary on its part to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, will cause irreparable injury to the other party, for which damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each party hereby consents to the issuance of temporary,

preliminary and permanent injunctive relief by the Delaware Courts to compel performance of such party’s obligations, or to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and to the granting by the Delaware Courts of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder, without, in any such case, the requirement to post any bond or other undertaking, in addition to any other rights or remedies available hereunder or at law or in equity.

11.12 Rules of Construction. Interpretation of the Transaction Agreements shall be governed by the following rules of construction: (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (b) references to the terms Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit and Schedule are references to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (c) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereto,” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto; (d) references to “$” shall mean U.S. dollars; (e) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in the Transaction Agreements shall mean “including without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (f) the word “or” shall not be exclusive; (g) references to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form; (h) the headings contained in the Transaction Agreements are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of the Transaction Agreements; (i) Seller and Buyer have each participated in the negotiation and drafting of the Transaction Agreements and if an ambiguity or question of interpretation should arise, the Transaction Agreements shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties thereto 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 of the Transaction Agreements; (j) a reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and permitted assigns; (k) any reference to “days” means calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified; (l) when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken 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 shall end on the next succeeding Business Day; (m) an item arising with respect to a specific representation or warranty shall be deemed to be “reflected on” or “set forth in” a balance sheet or financial statements, if (i) there is a reserve, accrual or other similar item underlying a number on such balance sheet or financial statement that is related to the subject matter of such representation, (ii) such item is otherwise specifically set forth on the balance sheet or financial statement or (iii) such item is reflected on the balance sheet or financial statement and is specifically referred to in the notes thereto; and (n) any Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such Law or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by succession of comparable successor Laws. If the Closing shall occur, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment obligation of Buyer hereunder shall be a joint and several obligation of Buyer and the Business Subsidiaries.

11.13 Counterparts. Each of the Transaction Agreements may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties to each such agreement in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart

of a signature page to any Transaction Agreement by facsimile or email attachment shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of any such Agreement.

11.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE FINANCING COMMITMENTS, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY 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 (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.14.
