Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver the Shares to the Buyer and the Buyer shall purchase the Shares from the Seller, for the consideration specified in this Article II.

Section 2.2 Closing.

(a) The sale and purchase of the Shares shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of Buyer’s counsel, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time on January 22, 2016, or at such other place or at such other time or on such other date as the Seller and the Buyer mutually may agree in writing. The Closing may be consummated electronically by the exchange of executed counterparts of, and the delivery of all deliverables required pursuant to, this Agreement in portable document format (PDF). The day on which the Closing takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the Closing shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(b) At the Closing:

(i) the Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Seller cash in an amount equal to the Estimated Purchase Price;

(ii) the Seller shall retain the Deposit, which Seller shall apply as a component of the Purchase Price;

(iii) the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Buyer certificates representing the Shares, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank in proper form for transfer, with appropriate transfer stamps, if any, affixed; and

(iv) the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Buyer an executed release agreement between the Company and Bank of America, N.A., evidencing the release of the Company from any obligations under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2015, among Ducommun Incorporated, certain of its subsidiaries, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank, and other lenders party thereto (the “Ducommun Credit Agreement”), and release of related liens.

Section 2.3 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) At least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) setting forth a good faith estimate of the Company’s (i) Net Working Capital (the

“Estimated Net Working Capital”), (ii) Indebtedness (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), and (iii) Cash (the “Estimated Cash”), each determined as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), based on the Seller’s books and records and other information available at the Closing and (iii) on the basis of the foregoing, a calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price. Estimated Net Working Capital, Estimated Indebtedness and Estimated Cash shall be calculated on a basis consistent with the accounting principles, practices, assumptions, conventions and policies utilized in the preparation of the Company’s October 3, 2015 balance sheet (the “Applicable Accounting Principles”). An illustrative example of a Preliminary Closing Statement and calculation of Net Working Capital, Indebtedness and Cash is set forth as Exhibit A (the “Sample Statement”).

The Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and/or Closing Cash not specifically referenced in the Notice of Disagreement, and such items and amounts shall not be subject to review in accordance with Section 2.3(d).

(d) During the 15 day period following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement by the Seller to the Buyer, the parties in good faith shall seek to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and/or Closing Cash as specified therein. Any disputed items resolved in writing between the Seller and the Buyer within such 15 day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if the Seller and the Buyer agree in writing on the resolution of each disputed item specified by the Buyer in the Notice of Disagreement and the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and/or Closing Cash, the amounts so determined shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. If the Seller and the Buyer have not resolved all such differences by the end of such 15 day period, the Seller and the Buyer shall submit, in writing, to an independent public accounting firm (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), their briefs detailing their views as to the correct nature and

amount of each item remaining in dispute and the amounts of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and/or Closing Cash, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall make a written determination as to each such disputed item and the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and/or Closing Cash. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be Deloitte LLP or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed in writing by the Seller and the Buyer. The Buyer and the Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within 30 days following the submission thereof. The Independent Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in the Buyer’s and the Seller’s respective calculations of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and/or Closing Cash that are identified as being items and amounts to which the Buyer and the Seller have been unable to agree. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to correcting mathematical errors and determining whether the items and amounts in dispute were determined in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles and the Sample Statement and the Independent Accounting Firm is not to make any other determination, including any determination as to whether the Target Net Working Capital or any estimates on the Preliminary Closing Statement are correct, adequate or sufficient. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and/or Closing Cash shall be based solely on written materials submitted by the Buyer and the Seller (i.e., not on independent review). The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and shall not be subject to appeal or further review. Judgment may be entered upon the written determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 11.9. In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm will be entitled to the privileges and immunities of an arbitrator.

(e) The costs of any dispute resolution pursuant to this Section 2.3, including the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and of any enforcement of the determination thereof, shall be borne by the Seller and the Buyer in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. The fees and disbursements of the Representatives of each party incurred in connection with the preparation or review of the Final Closing Statement and preparation or review of any Notice of Disagreement, as applicable, shall be borne by such party.

(f) The Buyer and the Seller will, and will cause the Company (in the case of the Seller, prior to the Closing and, in the case of the Buyer, during the period from and after the date of delivery of the Final Closing Statement through the resolution of any adjustment to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 2.3) to afford the other party and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the personnel, properties, books and records of the Company and to any other information reasonably requested for purposes of preparing and reviewing the calculations contemplated by this Section 2.3. Each party shall authorize its accountants to disclose work papers generated by

such accountants in connection with preparing and reviewing the calculations specified in this Section 2.3; provided, that such accountants shall not be obligated to make any work papers available except in accordance with such accountants’ disclosure procedures and then only after the non-client party has signed an agreement relating to access to such work papers in form and substance acceptable to such accountants.

(g) The Purchase Price shall be adjusted, upwards or downwards, as follows:

(i) For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Net Adjustment Amount” means an amount, which may be positive or negative, equal to (A) the Closing Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3 minus the Estimated Net Working Capital, minus (B) the Closing Indebtedness as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3 minus the Estimated Indebtedness, plus (C) the Closing Cash as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3 minus the Estimated Cash;

(ii) If the Net Adjustment Amount is positive, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upwards in an amount equal to the Net Adjustment Amount, and the Buyer shall pay the Net Adjustment Amount to the Seller; and

(iii) If the Net Adjustment Amount is negative (in which case the “Net Adjustment Amount” for purposes of this clause (iii) shall be deemed to be equal to the absolute value of such amount), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downwards in an amount equal to the Net Adjustment Amount, and the Seller shall pay the Net Adjustment Amount to the Buyer.

(h) Amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 2.3(g) shall bear interest from the Closing Date to the date of such payment at a rate equal to the rate of interest five percent (5%) per annum, calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and the number of days elapsed. Payments in respect of Section 2.3(g) shall be made within three Business Days of final determination of the Net Adjustment Amount pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.3 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated in writing by the party entitled to such payment at least two Business Days prior to such payment date.

and shall disclose only that portion of such information which the Seller or the Parent is advised by its counsel is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that the Seller and/or the Parent shall, at the Buyer’s sole expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

ARTICLE VII

TAX MATTERS

Section 7.1 Filing of Returns and Payments of Taxes.

(a) The Seller shall be responsible for (i) preparing and filing all Returns of the Company for all Pre-Closing Periods and all Tax Group Straddle Period Returns, and (ii) paying any Taxes payable with respect to all Pre-Closing Periods and any portion of Taxes allocated to the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period. The Buyer shall be responsible for (i) preparing any Returns that are due after the Closing other than those described in the prior sentence, and (ii) paying any Taxes payable with respect to such Returns relating to the period after the Closing, including any Taxes allocated to the post-Closing portion of any Straddle Period. For the avoidance of doubt, all expenses described in Section 8.2(f) shall be included on Pre-Closing Period Returns.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties shall cause the taxable year of the Company to end for applicable federal and state income tax purposes on the Closing Date. In the case of any Straddle Period: (i) any real, personal and intangible property Taxes attributable to the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period shall be equal to the amount of such property Taxes for such entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the period prior to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; and (ii) all other Taxes attributable to the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period shall be determined based on an actual closing of the books used to calculate such Taxes as if such Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. In the case of clause (ii), exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions computed as if the Closing Date was the last day of the Straddle Period) shall be allocated between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period thereafter in proportion to the number of days in each such portion.

Section 7.2 Amending of Returns. Without the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), the Buyer and the Company shall not amend any Return of the Company relating to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or any Straddle Period.

Section 7.3 Tax Refunds and Credits. Any Taxes of the Company relating to any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are (i) paid by the Seller or its Affiliates and are (ii) refunded or credited to the Company, the Buyer or its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates shall be promptly paid over to the Seller. At the written request of the Seller to make a claim for a Tax Refund with a taxing authority, Buyer and its Subsidiaries shall cooperate with the Seller at Seller’s expense in connection therewith, including the preparation of any Return that is required to be filed by the Company. However, if the filing of such a claim would have an adverse effect on the Tax liability of the Company for a period (or portion thereof) after the Closing Date, the Seller shall not be entitled to require such claim to be filed without the written consent of the Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld.

Section 7.4 Tax Contests.

(a) The Buyer and the Company shall promptly notify the Seller in writing upon receipt of notice of any Tax audits, examinations or assessments that relate to Taxes for which Seller is responsible under Section 7.1(a)(ii) or that could impact Tax refunds or credits to which the Seller is entitled under Section 7.3. The Seller shall have the right to control any such audit, examination or proceeding (including court proceedings) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any audit, examination or proceeding relating to any Straddle Period) relating to Tax Group Returns. The Buyer shall, at its own expense, have the opportunity to participate in any such audit, examination or proceeding (including being present at all meetings with the relevant taxing authority and at all other proceedings) to the extent such audit, examination or proceeding relates to Taxes for Post-Closing Periods or the portion of any Straddle Period ending after the Closing Date. The Seller shall not resolve, settle or compromise, or abandon any issue or claim that would adversely affect the Buyer and its Subsidiaries for post-Closing Tax periods (including the portion of any Straddle Period ending after the Closing Date) without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b) The Buyer shall have the right to control any audit, examination, or proceeding (or portion thereof) that relates to Taxes of the Company to the extent not controlled by the Seller pursuant to Section 7.4(a). The Seller shall have the right to participate in any such audit, examination or proceeding (which participation right shall include being present at all meetings with the relevant taxing authority and at all other proceedings) to the extent such audit, examination or proceeding relates to Taxes for which the Seller is responsible under Section 7.1(a)(ii) or that could impact Tax refunds or credits to which the Seller is entitled under Section 7.3. The Company, the Buyer and its Subsidiaries shall not settle, resolve, compromise, or abandon any issue or claim that would adversely affect the Seller for Pre-Closing Periods (including the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period) or with respect to Tax refunds or credits to which it is entitled hereunder without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 7.5 Books and Records; Cooperation. The Seller and the Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Representatives to, (a) provide the other party and its Representatives with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of any Return or any audit or other examination by any taxing authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to the Company and (b) until the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, retain and provide the other party and its Representatives with reasonable access to all records or information that may be relevant to such Return; provided, that the foregoing shall be done at the expense of the party making such request and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the parties.

Section 7.6 Tax Sharing Agreements. Any Tax sharing agreement between the Company on the one hand and the Seller and its Affiliates on the other hand shall terminate as of the Closing and have no further force or effect.

Section 7.7 Section 336(e) Election.

(a) If requested by the Buyer in writing, the Seller and the Company shall agree to make an election under Section 336(e) of the Code with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If such a request is made by the Buyer, the Seller shall make, and shall take any and all actions necessary to effect, an election under Section 336(e) of the Code and any corresponding election under state, local, and foreign Law (each as requested in writing by the Buyer) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Company Stock hereunder (collectively, a “Section 336(e) Election”). If a Section 336(e) Election is made, the Seller shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other Tax item resulting from the Section 336(e) Election on its Returns to the extent required by Law. If the Buyer requests a Section 336(e) Election pursuant to this Section 7.7(a), the Seller and the Buyer shall, within ten (10) days following completion of the Allocation Schedule as finally determined pursuant to Section 7.7(b), exchange completed and executed copies of IRS Forms 8023 and 8883 (if such forms are approved by the IRS for purposes of a Section 336(e) Election or such other form(s) as are approved by the IRS for purposes of a Section 336(e) Election and as are requested in writing by the Buyer (such form(s), the “Election Forms” ), required schedules thereto, and any similar state, local or foreign forms requested by the Buyer in writing. The completed and executed Election Forms shall reflect the allocation schedule agreed to by the Seller and the Buyer pursuant to Section 7.7(b). If a Section 336(e) Election is made, the Seller and the Buyer shall report the purchase and sale of the Company Stock consistent with the Section 336(e) Election and shall take no position inconsistent therewith in any Return, any proceeding before any Governmental Authority, or otherwise.

(b) If a Section 336(e) Election is made, the Buyer, Company and the Seller agree that the Purchase Price (plus any liabilities of the Company treated as part of the purchase price under Section 336(e) of the Code and the regulations thereunder (the “Section 336(e) Consideration” ) shall be allocated among the assets of the Company in a manner consistent with Sections 336(e) of the Code and the regulations thereunder as shown on the allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule” ). A draft of the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by the Buyer and delivered to the Seller within fifteen (15) days following the Buyer’s request to make a Section 336(e) Election. If the Seller notifies the Buyer in writing within thirty (30) days that the Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, the Seller and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if the Seller and the Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within fifteen (15) days following the Seller’s notice, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Seller and the Buyer in the manner described in Section 2.3(e). The Buyer, the Company, and the Seller shall file all Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 7.7(b).

Section 9.4 Procedures.

(a) In order for a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement as a result of Damages or a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must deliver written notice thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) prior to the expiration of the survival periods set forth in Sections 9.1(a) and (b). The failure of the Indemnified Party to provide such written notice to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the survival periods set forth in Sections 9.1(a) and (b) shall release the Indemnifying Party from all of its obligations under this Article IX.

(b) The written notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party shall be made promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of a Third Party Claim, describing in reasonable detail (i) the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, (ii) the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim, (iii) each individual item of Damages included in the amount so stated, to the extent known, and (iv) the nature of the breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement with respect to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to indemnification hereunder (all of the foregoing, the “Claim Information”), and shall provide any other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. Provided that such written notice is delivered by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the survival periods set forth in Sections 9.1(a) and (b), any delay in providing such written notice promptly, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of a Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to conduct

the defense of the Third Party Claim reasonably diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, and which releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge that would materially adversely impact the operations of the Company going forward. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, or offer to settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to engage counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party and to control the defense of a Third Party Claim if (x) the Indemnifying Party shall not have delivered written notice to the Indemnified Party assuming the defense of such claim within the time period provided in the first sentence of this Section or (y) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction against the Indemnified Party or (z) the Third Party Claim seeks imprisonment of an Indemnified Party under a criminal statute; provided that to the extent that the provisions of (y) or (z) apply, the Indemnified Party shall control the defense of only those portions of such Third Party Claim specified in (y) and (z), and the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of the rest of the Third Party Claim.

(d) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim containing the Claim Information promptly to the Indemnifying Party, and shall provide any other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. Provided that such written notice is delivered by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the survival periods set forth in Section 9.1(a) and Section 9.1(b), any delay in providing such written notice promptly, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay.

(e) The Indemnifying Party may settle any Third Party Claim solely involving monetary damages only if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and the amount of such settlement is to be paid entirely by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX. The Indemnifying Party shall not enter into a settlement of a Third-Party Claim (i) if such settlement involves a non-monetary remedy or involves monetary damages that shall not be paid entirely by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX, (ii) if such settlement does not include a complete, full, final, and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all Damages and other liability on any claims made in the Third Party Claim, or (iii) if such settlement involves any finding or admission of any violation of any Law by the Indemnified Party without, in any case, the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). As to the settlement of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall consult as to terms of any proposed settlement.

(f) The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters, which cooperation shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable expense (to the extent Damages resulting from such claim are indemnifiable under Section 8.2). Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to commence any Action against the Indemnifying Party for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.4(f) unless the notice and procedural provisions set forth herein shall have been satisfied prior thereto.

(iv) except with respect to the breach of any Fundamental Representation, the Buyer shall not be liable to any Seller Indemnified Party for any claim for indemnification under Section 9.3(a) and Section 9.3(b) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Damages that may be recovered from the Buyer equals or exceeds the Deductible Amount, in which case the Buyer shall be liable only for the Damages in excess of the Deductible Amount;

(viii) the Seller and the Parent shall not be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any Damages to the extent that such amounts are included in the definition of Net Working Capital and the Buyer received a benefit from the reflection of such matter in the calculation of the adjustment of the Purchase Price, if any, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3;

(ix) no party hereto shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, consequential, special, or indirect damages, including business interruption, damages based on multiples of earnings, diminution in value, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, other than punitive, consequential, special, or indirect damages actually recovered by third parties in connection with a Third Party Claim;

(x) any indemnity for the breach of any representation and warranty in Section 4.14 is limited solely to Taxes or Damages relating to or arising from Taxes for any Pre-Closing Period or the Pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period; and

(xi) in the event the Buyer proceeds with the Closing notwithstanding the Knowledge of the Buyer at or prior to the Closing of any breach by the Seller or the Company of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement, no Buyer Indemnified Party shall have any claim or recourse against the Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives with respect to such breach under this Article IX or otherwise to the extent of such Knowledge of the Buyer.

(b) The amount of any and all Damages under this Article IX shall be determined net of (i) any Tax benefit realizable by the applicable Indemnified Party or its Affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Damages (including any Tax benefit arising in the two subsequent taxable years) and (ii) any insurance of other recoveries payable to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification net of attorneys’ fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket costs of the indemnified party incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s collection of such insurance proceeds that are not otherwise actually and irrevocably recovered by the Indemnifying Party. Each party hereby waives, to the extent permitted under its applicable insurance policies, any subrogation rights that its insurer may have with respect to any indemnifiable Damages.

(c) The Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim, liability or Damage for which indemnification may be required hereunder, including by making, or causing the applicable Indemnified Party to make, all reasonable efforts to mitigate any such claim, liability or Damage. In the event that the Buyer or the Seller shall fail to make such reasonable efforts, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other party shall not be required to indemnify any Person for any claim, liability or

Damage that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if such efforts had been made. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyer and the Seller shall, or shall cause the applicable Indemnified Party to, use reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Damage to the same extent as they would if such Damage were not subject to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding the joint and several liability of the Seller and Parent under Section 9.2, the Buyer agrees (on behalf of itself and all Buyer Indemnified Parties) that it shall first seek a remedy against the Seller with respect to any indemnification claim asserted hereunder before seeking to recover any Damages directly from the Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, each and every limitation in this Article IX on the liability and/or obligations of the Seller shall apply equally as a limitation on the liability of the Parent and on the joint and several liability of the Seller and the Parent collectively.

Section 9.6 Assignment of Claims. If any Buyer Indemnified Party receives any payment from the Seller or the Parent in respect of any Damages pursuant to Section 9.2 and the Buyer Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Damages from a third party (other than a customer of the Company, provided the Buyer Indemnified Party has complied with the last sentence of this Section 9.6) (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Seller or the Parent, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall assign, on a non-recourse basis and without any representation or warranty, such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Seller or the Parent to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment. If any such assignment would afford the Potential Contributor any defense to the payment of the same, such assignment shall not take place and the Buyer Indemnified Party will, at the Seller’s direction and expense, take all reasonable actions to seek to recover such claim from such Potential Contributor. Any payment received in respect of such claim against the Potential Contributor (whether by the Seller or the Parent or the relevant Buyer Indemnified Party as provided in the immediately preceding sentence) shall be distributed, (a) first, to the Buyer Indemnified Party in the amount of any deductible or similar amount required to be paid by the Buyer Indemnified Party prior to the Seller or the Parent being required to make any payment to the Buyer Indemnified Party plus, in the case of any claim by a Buyer Indemnified Party as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the costs and expenses incurred in investigating, prosecuting, defending or otherwise addressing such claim, (b) second, to the Seller or the Parent in an amount equal to the aggregate payments made by the Seller or the Parent to the Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, plus the costs and expenses incurred in investigating, prosecuting, defending or otherwise addressing such claim and (c) the balance, if any, to the Buyer Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Potential Contributor” shall not include, and the foregoing paragraph shall not apply to, any current customer of the Company if, in each case, prior making a claim for indemnification under Section 9.2, the Buyer Indemnified Party has used commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery of such Damages from such customer; provided, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be required to commence an Action against any such customer in order to comply with this provision.

Section 9.7 Exclusivity. EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF FRAUD, THIS ARTICLE IX WILL PROVIDE THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF THE PARTIES FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT OR OTHER CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT AND/OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION

Section 10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Buyer and the Seller;

(b)(i) by the Seller, if the Buyer breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.1, (B) cannot be or has not been cured within 15 days following delivery of written notice of such breach or failure to perform and (C) has not been waived by the Seller or (ii) by the Buyer, if the Seller or the Company breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its respective representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.2, (B) cannot be or has not been cured within 15 days following delivery of written notice of such breach or failure to perform and (C) has not been waived by the Buyer;

(c) by Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred by January 29, 2016 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(c) shall not be available if the Seller or the Company breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its respective representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and such breach or failure to perform gives rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.2 and shall have been the cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date; or

(d) by either the Seller or the Buyer in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, that the party so requesting termination shall have complied with Section 6.9.

The party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1 (other than Section 10.1(a)) shall give prompt written notice of such termination to the other party.

Section 10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of either party except (a) for the provisions of Section 3.5, Section 4.21 and Section 5.4 relating to broker’s fees and finder’s fees, Section 6.8 relating to confidentiality, Section 6.10 relating to public announcements, Section 10.3 relating to the Buyer Termination Fee, Section 11.1 relating to fees and expenses, Section 11.4 relating to notices, Section 11.7 relating to third-party beneficiaries, Section 11.8 relating to governing law, Section 11.9 relating to submission to jurisdiction and this Section 10.2 and (b) that nothing herein shall relieve either party from liability for any breach of this Agreement or any agreement made as of the date hereof or subsequent thereto pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 10.3 Buyer Termination Fee.

(a) In the event this Agreement is terminated (i) by the Seller pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(i) or (ii) by the Seller pursuant to Section 10.1(c), the Buyer shall irrevocably forfeit to the Seller the entire Deposit (the “Buyer Termination Fee”). In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than as specified in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Seller shall, promptly and in any event within three (3) Business Days following such termination, refund to the Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds the entire Deposit. For avoidance of doubt, if the Closing should occur, the Deposit will be retained by the Seller and shall constitute part of the Purchase Price.

(b) The parties acknowledge that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 10.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Buyer Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Seller in the circumstances in which such fee is paid for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision and (iii) without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event this Agreement is terminated by the Seller or the Buyer in circumstances where the Buyer Termination Fee is payable, and the Seller elects to retain the Deposit as payment of the Buyer Termination Fee pursuant to Section 10.3(a), the receipt of the Buyer Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller and the Company and their Affiliates against the Buyer and any of its general or limited partners, stockholders, managers, members, directors, officers, Affiliates or agents for any Damages suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated.

Section 11.20 Legal Representation.

(a) The Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) acknowledges and agrees that Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP (“Gibson Dunn”) has acted as counsel for the Seller and the Company in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Acquisition Engagement”), and in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, Gibson Dunn has not acted as counsel for any other Person, including the Buyer.

(b) Only the Seller, the Company and their respective Affiliates shall be considered clients of Gibson Dunn in the Acquisition Engagement. The Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) acknowledges and agrees that all confidential communications between the Seller, the Company and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Gibson Dunn, on the other hand, in the course of the Acquisition Engagement, and any attendant attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, and expectation of client confidentiality applicable thereto, shall be deemed to belong solely to the Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company), and not the Company, and shall not pass to or be claimed, held, or used by the Buyer or the Company upon or after the Closing. Accordingly, the Buyer shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Gibson Dunn relating to the Acquisition Engagement, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) to the extent that files of Gibson Dunn in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only the Seller and its Affiliates shall hold such property rights and (ii) Gibson Dunn shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Company or the Buyer by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Gibson Dunn and the Company or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Gibson Dunn shall not disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any third parties (other than representatives, accountants and advisors of the Seller and its Affiliates; provided, that such representatives, accounts and advisors are instructed to maintain the confidence of such attorney-client communications). The Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) irrevocably waives any right it may have to discover or obtain information or documentation relating to the Acquisition Engagement, to the extent that such

information or documentation was subject to an attorney-client privilege or work product protection owed to the Seller and/or its Affiliates. If and to the extent that, at any time subsequent to Closing, the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) shall have the right to assert or waive any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between the Company or its Affiliates and any Person representing them that occurred at any time prior to the Closing, the Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) shall be entitled to waive such privilege only with the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

(c) The Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) acknowledges and agrees that Gibson Dunn has acted as counsel for the Seller, the Company and their respective Affiliates for several years and that the Seller reasonably anticipates that Gibson Dunn will continue to represent it and/or its Affiliates in future matters. Accordingly, the Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) expressly (i) consents to Gibson Dunn’s representation of the Seller and/or its Affiliates and/or any of their respective agents (if any of the foregoing Persons so desire) in any matter, including any post-Closing matter in which the interests of the Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, and the Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse, including any matter relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and whether or not such matter is one in which Gibson Dunn may have previously advised the Seller, the Company or their respective Affiliates and (ii) consents to the disclosure by Gibson Dunn to the Seller or its Affiliates of any information learned by Gibson Dunn in the course of its representation of the Seller, the Company or their respective Affiliates, whether or not such information is subject to attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, or Gibson Dunn’s duty of confidentiality.

(d) The Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) further covenants and agrees that each shall not assert any claim against Gibson Dunn in respect of legal services provided to the Company or its Affiliates by Gibson Dunn in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
