(a)    As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event within ninety (90) calendar days thereof, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a written statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth: (i) a calculation of Net Working Capital (“Closing Date Net Working Capital”), (ii) a calculation of the aggregate amount of all Funded Debt (“Closing Date Funded Debt”), (iii) a calculation of the aggregate amount of all Company Expenses (“Closing Date Company Expenses”), and (iv) a calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (together with Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Funded Debt, and Closing Date Company Expenses, the “Price Components”), in each case, calculated as of 11:59 p.m. on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date consistent with the Closing Date Principles. “Net Working Capital” as of any date shall mean (i) the consolidated current assets of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries and consolidated Partnerships as of such date (excluding (x) cash and cash equivalents, (y) Income Tax assets and (z) notes receivable (which notes receivable to be excluded, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the note(s) to be transferred to the Seller pursuant to Section 6.4(a)), minus (ii) the consolidated current liabilities of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries and consolidated Partnerships as of such date (excluding (x) Funded Debt (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Funded Debt of the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries), (y) Income Tax Liabilities, and (z) Company Expenses), in each case, as calculated in accordance with the Closing Date Principles and the definitions of the defined terms used in this Section 2.4(a) and in the Closing Date Principles.

(b)    If the Seller shall disagree with the calculation of any Price Component, it shall notify Buyer of such disagreement in writing, setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Closing Statement; provided, however, that (i) any such notice may only include objections based on (A) the failure of the Closing Statement to be prepared in accordance with the Closing Date Principles and the definitions of the applicable Price Components and/or (B) mathematical errors in the computation of any Price Component, and (ii) Buyer shall provide the Seller and its representatives reasonable access to the records, properties, personnel and (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested) auditors of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to or necessary, as reasonably requested by the Seller, for the review of the Closing Statement, and the 30-day review period shall be tolled during any period in which Buyer fails to comply with this requirement. In the event that the Seller does not provide such a notice of disagreement within such thirty (30)-day period, the Seller and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed to the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Price Components delivered by Buyer therein, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such notice of disagreement is timely provided, the Price Components set forth in the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer will be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder except as to the disagreements duly raised in such notice, and Buyer and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of twenty (20) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any such disagreements with respect to the calculations of the Price Components. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then any such remaining disagreements shall be resolved by an independent accounting or financial consulting firm of recognized national standing as may be mutually selected by Buyer and the Seller (such firm, subject to the following proviso, the “Auditor”); provided, that if the Seller and Buyer cannot agree on the Auditor, either party may request that the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) choose the Auditor, in which case the AAA’s choice of the Auditor will be binding and the expenses of the AAA will be shared 50% by Buyer and 50% by the Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Auditor shall not, in the three-year period prior to the date of this Agreement, have been engaged to perform any services in excess of $100,000 in any 12-month period for the Seller, Buyer or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (other than acting as an independent arbitrator in a similar capacity as the Auditor) and (y) none of the Seller, Buyer or the Company will engage the Auditor to perform any service for such Person (other than acting as an independent arbitrator in a similar capacity as the Arbitrator) prior to the finalization of the Adjustment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.4(b). Each of Buyer and the Seller shall promptly provide their assertions regarding the Price Components in writing to the Auditor and to each other. The Auditor shall be instructed to render its determination with respect to such disagreements as soon as reasonably possible (which the parties hereto agree should not be later than sixty (60) days following the day on which the disagreement is referred to the Auditor). The Auditor shall base its determination solely on (i) the written submissions of the parties and shall not conduct an independent investigation and (ii) the extent (if any) to which the Price Components set forth on the Closing Statement require adjustment (only with respect to the remaining disagreements submitted to the Auditor) in order to be determined in accordance with the Closing Date Principles and the definitions of the defined terms used in Section 2.4(a) and in the Closing Date Principles. In reaching a decision on each disputed item that was originally reflected in the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer, the Auditor’s decision shall in each case be an amount which is equal to or in between the amounts for such disputed item proposed by Buyer in the Closing Statement or proposed by the Seller in the Seller’s notice of disagreement. The determination of the Auditor shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The date on which the Price Components are finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.4(b) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.” All fees and expenses of the Auditor relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Auditor hereunder shall be borne pro rata as between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other, in proportion to the allocation of the dollar value of the amounts in dispute as between Buyer and the Seller (as set forth in the written submissions to the Auditor) made by the Auditor such that the party prevailing on the greater dollar value of such disputes pays the lesser proportion of the fees and expenses. For example, if the Seller challenges in its written submission to the Auditor items underlying the calculations of the Price Components in the net amount of $1,000,000 (relative to Buyer’s positions on such items as set forth in its written submissions to the Auditor), and the Auditor determines that the Seller has a valid claim for $400,000 of the $1,000,000, the Seller shall bear 60% of the fees and expenses of the Auditor and Buyer shall bear 40% of the fees and expenses of the Auditor.

(c)    The “Adjustment Amount,” which may be positive or negative, shall mean (i) the Closing Date Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.4(b)), minus the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, plus (ii) Estimated Closing Date Funded Debt, minus Closing Date Funded Debt (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.4(b)), plus (iii) Estimated Closing Date Company Expenses, minus Closing Date Company Expenses (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.4(b)). If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the Adjustment Amount, and if the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount. The Adjustment Amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.4(d).

(d)    If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number (such amount, the “Increase Amount”), then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within three (3) Business Days of the Determination Date, Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount in cash equal to the Adjustment Amount, less any applicable withholding. If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number (the absolute value of such amount, the “Deficit Amount”), then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within three (3) Business Days of the Determination Date, the Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount in cash equal to the Deficit Amount. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire instructions provided to the payor by the payee at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which the payment is due.

(b)    The Contingency Financial Statements and the calculation of 2014 IT Solutions EBITDA, 2015 Device Services EBITDA and 2015 IT Solutions EBITDA (each, an “Applicable EBITDA”), shall be prepared in accordance with this Section 2.5 and the definitions of the Applicable EBITDA used therein.

(c)    The Seller shall have 45 days following the delivery of the applicable Contingency Financial Statements (the “Contingency Review Period”), to review and object to the applicable Contingency Financial Statements and Buyer’s calculation of the Applicable EBITDA or the applicable Contingent Payment Amount. In the event the Seller does not object to the contents of the Contingency Financial Statements or Buyer’s calculation of Applicable EBITDA or the Contingent Payment Amount prior to the expiration of the applicable Contingency Review Period, the applicable Contingency Financial Statements and Buyer’s calculation of Applicable EBITDA and the applicable Contingent Payment Amount shall be deemed to become the final Contingency Financial Statements, and the final determination of Applicable EBITDA for such year and the applicable Contingent Payment Amount. In the event the Seller objects to the contents of the Contingency Financial Statements or Buyer’s calculation of Applicable EBITDA or the applicable Contingent Payment Amount, the Seller shall send written notice to Buyer specifying in reasonable detail its objections and the basis therefor, prior to the expiration of the applicable Contingency Review Period (a “Contingency Objection Notice”). During the 30-day period following the Buyer’s receipt of a Contingency Objection Notice (the “Contingency Resolution Period”), Buyer and the Seller shall attempt to resolve the differences specified in the Contingency Objection Notice.

(d)    If at the conclusion of a Contingency Resolution Period, a dispute shall remain with respect to the applicable Contingency Financial Statements or Buyer’s calculation of Applicable EBITDA or the applicable Contingent Payment Amount, the dispute shall be submitted to an accounting professional with a firm of internationally recognized independent public accountants mutually selected by Buyer and the Seller (the “Payment Dispute Arbitrator”) within ten (10) Business Days after expiration of such Contingency Resolution Period; provided, that if the Seller and Buyer cannot agree on the Payment Dispute Arbitrator, either party may request that the AAA choose the Payment Dispute Arbitrator, in which case the AAA’s choice of the Payment Dispute Arbitrator will be binding and the expenses of the AAA will be shared 50% by Buyer and 50% by the Seller. Buyer and the Seller shall each provide such firm with all information and documentation reasonably requested, which may include without limitation, the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Partnerships, as applicable. The Payment Dispute Arbitrator shall determine the final calculation of the disputed payment in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Payment Dispute Arbitrator’s determination shall be made within thirty (30) Business Days of its selection and shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Seller and Buyer and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto and thereafter shall be deemed to be the final calculation of the applicable Contingent Payment Amount. The fees and expenses of the Payment Dispute Arbitrator shall be paid by (i) Buyer, if any disputed amount of the applicable Contingent Payment Amount is awarded to the Seller by the Payment Dispute Arbitrator, and (ii) the Seller, if the Payment Dispute Arbitrator determines that no disputed amount of the applicable Contingent Payment Amount is payable to the Seller.

(e)    Any Contingent Payment Amount required to be made hereunder shall be paid within three (3) Business Days following the final determination of the applicable Contingent Payment Amount; provided, however, that to the extent that any portion of the applicable Contingent Payment Amount, if any, is not disputed, that portion of such Contingent Payment Amount which is not in dispute shall be paid within three (3) Business Days following the conclusion of the applicable Contingency Review Period. In any event in which Buyer is required to pay the Contingent Payment Amount (or any portion thereof) to the Seller, Buyer shall make such payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire instructions provided to Buyer by the Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which the payment is due.

If Buyer disagrees with the Proposed Allocation, Buyer may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Proposed Allocation, deliver written notice to the Seller setting forth in reasonable detail its disagreement with the Proposed Allocation. In the event that Buyer does not provide such a notice of disagreement within such thirty (30)-day period, the Seller and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed to the Proposed Allocation, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such notice of disagreement is timely provided, the Proposed Allocation will be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder except as to the disagreements duly raised in such notice, and Buyer and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any such disagreements with respect to the Proposed Allocation.

Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall promptly notify each other in the event of an examination, audit or other proceeding regarding the Final Allocation.

This Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement each have been duly and validly executed and delivered by Buyer and (assuming this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller) this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its respective terms, subject to the Remedies Exception.

5.3    No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement by Buyer and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (a) violate any provision of, or result in the breach of any applicable Law to which Buyer is subject or by which any property or asset of Buyer is bound, (b) conflict with the organizational documents of Buyer, or (c) violate any provision of or result in a breach of, constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any material Contract to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer may be bound, or terminate or result in the termination of any such Contract, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Buyer or constitute an event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to result in any such violation, breach, termination or creation of a Lien.

A true and complete copy of the Equity Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof has been previously provided to the Seller. Buyer has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Equity Commitment Letter to be paid on or before the date hereof and will pay all additional fees as they become due.

As of the date hereof, Buyer has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Equity Financing would not reasonably be expected to be satisfied on a timely basis or that the Equity Financing would not reasonably be expected to be available to Buyer on the date on which the Closing should occur pursuant to Section 3.1.

(b)    The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is two (2) years after the Closing Date, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each such Person, a “Protected Person”) to leave the employ of such Person; provided that the Seller and its Affiliates shall not be prohibited from making general employment solicitations (such as through advertisements in publicly available media or through a bona fide search firm) so long as such advertisements or searches are not specifically targeted at Protected Persons, or (ii) hire any Protected Person within six (6) months following the date of termination of such Person’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that the Seller and its Affiliates shall not be prohibited from soliciting or hiring any such Protected Person whose employment is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing, provided that such solicitation or hiring with respect to any employee terminated for cause occurs no less than three (3) months following the date of such termination by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of such Person’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. As used in the foregoing sentence, “cause” means (regardless of whether the Company or its Subsidiaries were entitled to (or did) terminate an employee for cause under the applicable terms of any employment or other arrangement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), in the good faith determination of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary, that the employee (A) committed a felony, or engaged in any act of theft, embezzlement, dishonesty or misappropriation of property with respect to the Company, the Partnerships or their respective Subsidiaries, (B) reported to work under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, or engaged in repeated conduct causing disgrace, disrepute or economic harm to the Company or the Partnerships or their respective Subsidiaries, (C) failed in any material respect to perform duties as reasonably directed by the employee’s superior or by the applicable governing body of the Company, the Partnerships or their respective Subsidiaries, (D) was grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct or a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the Company or the Partnerships or their respective Subsidiaries, or (E) violated any material policies of the Company or the Partnerships or their respective Subsidiaries).

(c)    If any provision contained in this Section 6.5 will for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions of this Section 6.5, but this Section 6.5 will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained in this Section 6.5 is held to cover a geographic area or to be of a length of time which is not permitted by Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision will not be construed to be null, void and of no effect. Instead, the parties agree that a court of competent jurisdiction will construe, interpret, reform or judicially modify this Section 6.5 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as will be valid and enforceable under such Law. In the event that the Seller is found to have breached any covenant in this Section 6.5, the time period provided for in such covenant shall be tolled (i.e. it shall not run) for so long as the Seller or any Affiliate thereof was in violation of that covenant. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties intend that the covenants of this Section 6.5 shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each county or province of each and every state, commonwealth, territory or jurisdiction of each county or province within the Restricted Territory and one for each month of the Restricted Covenant Period.

6.6    No Solicitation. From the date hereof through the Closing, the Seller will not, nor will the Seller authorize or permit the Company or any Affiliate of the Seller or the Company or any Representatives of the Seller, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, to (a) directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, encourage or participate in any way (including by way of furnishing information) in any discussion or negotiations with any Person or other entity or group (other than Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer) concerning any merger, consolidation, sale of assets (except for sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business), sale of Capital Stock or similar transactions relating to the Company, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries (each, an “Acquisition Proposal”; provided, however, the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall not include any such transaction with respect to an ordinary course addition or withdrawal of any partner in any Partnership), (b) disclose, directly or indirectly, to any Person considering an Acquisition Proposal any information concerning the Company, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (c) enter into any understanding, agreement or commitment with any third party concerning any Acquisition Proposal.

6.7    Management Reports. The Seller will furnish Buyer with management reports with respect to the financial condition and performance of the Company, the Consolidated Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries of the type and in the form and format customarily provided to the Seller by management of the Company for each full calendar month ended after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date promptly upon receiving such report from the Company. No representations or warranties are or will be made hereby with respect to any such reports delivered pursuant to this Section 6.7.

6.8    Release. Effective at the time of the Closing, the Seller hereby, without any further action, releases and forever discharges the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors and employees (other than Buyer and its officers, directors and employees), from any and all Liabilities, Actions, Contracts, Liens and demands of any kind or nature relating to the Shares, the Company, the Partnerships, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective predecessors in interest or any of their respective business or assets (other than any agreements and arrangements entered into between the Company, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company, the Partnerships or their respective Subsidiaries), on the other hand, after the Closing or that are set forth on Schedule 6.4), which the Seller may have or may have had, known or unknown, from the beginning of the world through and including the Closing Date, against the Company, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors or employees (other than Buyer and its officers, directors or employees). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.8 shall constitute a release by the Seller for, or shall be deemed to affect, claims against or obligations of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement entered into after the Closing Date.

6.9    Notification. Prior the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written notice, as promptly as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware of any matter that will or would reasonably be expected to result in the condition set forth in Section 9.2(a) becoming incapable of being satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of such notice shall not affect the determination of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.2 or any rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE XI.

6.10    Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. The Seller agrees to cause the Company to send letters to all prospective purchasers (other than Buyer and its Affiliates) as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of this Agreement which letters shall instruct such prospective purchasers to return or destroy all confidential information of the Company and its Subsidiaries previously distributed to or otherwise made available to them in connection with the possible sale of, or investment in, the Company, and to deliver to the Company a certificate to such effect, in each case to the extent any such prospective purchaser is required to take such action under the applicable confidentiality agreement between such prospective purchaser and the Seller or one of its Subsidiaries.

provided, further, that the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries may incur such liability after the Closing, (B) neither (i) the directors, managers or general partners of the Seller, the Partnerships or (other than the Company or its Subsidiaries at or after the Closing) any of their respective Subsidiaries nor (ii) the pre-Closing Board of Directors of the Company and the directors, managers and general partners of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Financing is obtained, (C) none of the Seller, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries at or after the Closing) shall be required to execute any definitive financing documents, including any credit or other agreements, pledge or security documents, or other certificates, legal opinions or documents in connection with the Financing; (D) except as expressly provided above, neither Seller, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to take any corporate actions prior to the Closing to permit the consummation of the Financing;

Except for the representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in Article IV of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.2(d), the Seller shall not have any liability to Buyer in respect of any financial statements, other financial information or data or other information provided pursuant to this Section 6.12. Buyer shall promptly reimburse the Seller and its Subsidiaries for all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by any of them in connection with such cooperation; provided, that any such reimbursement after the Closing shall be paid to the Seller or its designee.

(c)    Buyer shall cooperate in good faith with the Antitrust Authorities and use commercially reasonable efforts to undertake promptly any and all action required to complete lawfully the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable (but in any event prior to the Termination Date) and any and all action necessary or advisable to remove any proceeding in any forum by or on behalf of any Antitrust Authority or the issuance of any Governmental Order that would (or to obtain the agreement or consent of any Governmental Authority to the transactions contemplated hereby the absence of which would) delay, enjoin, prevent, restrain or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 7.1 or elsewhere shall require Buyer or any of its Affiliates to (i) agree to sell, divest, dispose of or hold separate any assets or businesses, or otherwise take or commit to take any action that could limit its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its businesses, product lines or assets, or (ii) litigate, pursue or defend against any administrative or judicial action or proceeding (including any proceeding seeking a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction) challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of any antitrust Law.

Buyer agrees to provide the Seller and its counsel the opportunity, on reasonable advance notice, to participate in any substantive meetings or discussions, either in person or by telephone, between Buyer and/or any of its Affiliates, agents or advisors, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, concerning or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e)    Buyer shall be solely responsible for and pay all statutory filing fees payable to the Antitrust Authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Such tail coverage will only cover majority-owned Subsidiaries of the Company that meet the definition of subsidiary in the applicable policy (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes any Persons in which the Company holds less than a 50% economic interest).

(g)    The rights with respect to insurance provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any Person entitled to insurance under this Section 7.2 (an “Indemnified Person”) may at any time be entitled. No right or remedy herein conferred by this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent assertion of any other right or remedy.

7.4    Retention of Books and Records.

(d)    Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to retain all books, ledgers, files, reports, plans, operating records and any other material documents pertaining to the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries in existence at the Closing that are required to be retained under current retention policies (the “Books and Records”) for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date (and, with respect to Books and Records relating to Taxes, until the expiration of the applicable limitation period (taking into account any extension thereof of which Buyer has received notice)) or such longer time as may be required by Law, and to not destroy or dispose of any such Books and Records during such time period. If thereafter Buyer proposes to destroy or dispose of any Books and Records, Buyer shall offer first in writing at least ninety (90) days prior to such proposed destruction or disposition to surrender all or any portion of such Business Records to the Seller upon the Seller’s request. The Seller and its Affiliates may, subject to compliance with Section 8.7(a), retain a copy of any or all of the Business Records and any other materials included in any electronic data room or that are otherwise in the possession or under the control of the Seller or any of its Affiliates relating to the conduct of the business of the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries on or before the Closing Date.

(e)    From and after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to (i) give the Seller and its Representatives reasonable access to the Business Records and the offices and properties of Buyer, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries, relating to the business and operations of the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries on or before the Closing Date, (ii) furnish to the Seller and its Representatives such financial and operating data and other information (in each case, only to the extent already available or prepared, it being understood that no such information shall be required to be separately prepared for Seller or delivered or made available in a medium not already in use with respect to such information) relating to the business and the operations of the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries on or before the Closing Date, and (iii) cause the employees, counsel and financial advisors of Buyer and its Subsidiaries to cooperate with the Seller and its Representatives, in each case, to the extent reasonably requested by the Seller in connection with accounting, financial reporting, Tax and other similar needs. Any such access shall be granted in a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Person granting such access. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may withhold such access, as and to the extent necessary to avoid contravention or waiver, any document or information the disclosure of which could reasonably be expect to violate any Contract or any Law or could result in the waiver of any legal privilege or work-product privilege; provided that to the extent practicable and in accordance with such Contract or Law, and in a manner that does not result of the waiver of any such privilege, Buyer shall make reasonable and appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which these restrictions apply; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 7.4(b) shall limit in any respect any rights the Seller may have with respect to discovery or the production of documents or other information in connection with any litigation; provided, further, that Buyer shall not be required to comply with any provision of this Section 7.4(b) in connection with or to the extent related to or involving any claim for indemnification made hereunder except as otherwise required under Article XI or the applicable rules of discovery by a court of competent jurisdiction.

7.5    Contact with Customers and Suppliers. Until the Closing Date, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its representatives not to, contact or communicate with the customers, suppliers, distributors or licensors of the Company or the Company’s Subsidiaries, concerning the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned.

7.6    Notification. Prior the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the Seller a written notice, as promptly as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware of any matter that will or would reasonably be expected to result in the condition set forth in Section 9.3(a) becoming incapable of being satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of such notice shall not affect the determination of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.3 or any rights of the Seller Indemnified Parties to indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE XI.

7.7    Financing. Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, as promptly as possible, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Equity Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Equity Commitment Letter, including using reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as possible, (i) satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, on a timely basis all conditions to Buyer obtaining the Equity Financing set forth therein, and (ii) consummate the Equity Financing at or prior to Closing. Buyer shall give the Seller prompt written notice (A) of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to result in breach or default) by any party to the Equity Commitment Letter of which Buyer becomes aware, (B) if and when Buyer becomes aware that any portion of the Equity Financing contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter is reasonably expected to not be available for the Financing Purposes, (C) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Person with respect to any (1) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Equity Commitment Letter or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Equity Commitment Letter (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Equity Financing), and (D) of any expiration or termination of the Equity Commitment Letter. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall keep the Seller informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Equity Financing. If any portion of the Equity Financing becomes, or would reasonably be expected to become, unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Equity Commitment Letter, Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing, including from alternative sources, in an amount sufficient to replace any unavailable portion of the Equity Financing (“Alternative Financing”) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event and the provisions of this Section 7.7 shall be applicable to the Alternative Financing and, for the purpose of Section 6.12 and this Section 7.7, all references to the Equity Financing shall be deemed to include such Alternative Financing; provided, that Buyer shall not be required to accept any such Alternative Financing if the terms or conditions thereof are not substantially comparable to those terms and conditions in the Equity Financing, and with respect to economic terms and conditions, are not as favorable in the aggregate to Buyer as the terms and conditions for the Equity Financing. Buyer shall (1) comply in all material respects with the Equity Commitment Letter, and (2) subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent thereto, cause the Guarantors (subject to Section 12.13(c)) to fund the Equity Financing at or prior to the time the Closing should occur pursuant to Section 3.1. Buyer shall provide notice to the Seller promptly upon receiving the Equity Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, compliance by Buyer with this Section 7.7 shall not relieve Buyer of its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance herewith and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, whether or not the Equity Financing or Alternative Financing is available.

7.8    Shared Contracts. Each of Buyer and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shared Contract to be amended to remove the Company and its Subsidiaries as parties to the Shared Contract and, with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, replaced with a separate contract that provides that the Company and its Subsidiaries receive such rights and agree to such obligations under a replacement contract that are consistent with those set forth in the Shared Contract.

Without limiting any covenant contained in Article VI or Article VII, Buyer and the Seller shall each, and shall each cause their respective Subsidiaries and, in the case of Seller, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries, to: (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to assemble, prepare and file any information (and, as needed, to supplement such information) as may be reasonably necessary to obtain as promptly as practicable all governmental and regulatory consents required to be obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not require the expenditure by Buyer, the Seller, the Company or any of its or the Partnership’s Subsidiaries of any funds) to obtain all consents and approvals of third parties that any of Buyer, the Seller or their respective Affiliates (including the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries) are required to obtain in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) take such other action as may reasonably be necessary or as another party may reasonably request to satisfy the conditions of Article IX or otherwise to comply with this Agreement and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Seller or any of its or the Partnerships’ Subsidiaries be obligated to bear any material expense or pay any material fee or grant any material concession in connection with obtaining any consents, authorizations or approvals required in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the terms of any Contract to which the Seller or any of its or the Partnerships’ Subsidiaries is a party.

8.2    Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees that, from time to time after the Closing Date, it will execute and deliver or cause its respective Affiliates to execute and deliver such further instruments, and take (or cause their respective Affiliates to take) such other action, as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement. Promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day, after the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to Buyer the minute book and stock book of the Company and the minute book or stock book of any Subsidiary of the Company or of any Partnership or any Subsidiary of any Partnership that is in the possession of the Seller (and not of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries).

Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, prepare and timely file at its expense all Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes.

(g)    Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate fully, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (with respect to the Partnerships and their Subsidiaries, the Partnerships and their Subsidiaries, to the extent the Company or any of its Affiliates has control over the Partnerships and their Subsidiaries) to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any Action regarding Taxes of, or with respect to, the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Partnerships or their Subsidiaries. Such cooperation shall include the retention (until the expiration of the applicable limitation period, taking into account any extension thereof of which Buyer has received written notice) of and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the provision of such powers of attorney as may be necessary to allow for the control of Tax audits or proceedings as described in Section 8.3(c). After the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, furnish information to the Seller as reasonably requested by the Seller, to allow the Seller to prepare and timely file its Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods. After the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (with respect to the Partnerships and their Subsidiaries, any of the Partnerships and their Subsidiaries, to the extent the Company or any of its Affiliates has control over the Partnerships and their Subsidiaries), as reasonably requested by the Seller, to make any Tax election if the election does not adversely affect Buyer and its Affiliates.

(h)    Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller in writing upon receipt after the Closing by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of written notice of (i) any pending or threatened Tax audits, examinations, inquiries, or assessments of the Company, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or (ii) any disputes, claims, or Actions relating to Taxes for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties may be entitled to indemnification under Section 11.2(a) or which may affect the Section 336(e) Election (“Tax Contest Claims”); provided, however, no failure or delay by Buyer to provide notice of a Tax Contest Claim pursuant to this Section 8.3(c) shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of the Seller hereunder except to the extent the defense of such Tax Contest Claim is prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the relevant Governmental Authority and describe in reasonable detail the nature of such Tax Contest Claim. Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Tax Contest Claim. Notwithstanding Section 11.3(b), after the Closing, (i) the Seller shall have the right to control the conduct of any Tax Contest Claim; provided, that (x) the Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax Contest Claim to the extent relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Partnerships, or their Subsidiaries, (y) if such Tax Contest Claim is not with respect to an Affiliated Group, Buyer shall be entitled at its expense to participate in such Tax Contest Claim and (z) the Seller shall not compromise or settle such Tax Contest Claim without obtaining Buyer’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if the resolution or settlement of such Tax Contest Claim is reasonably expected to increase the Tax liability of Buyer, the Company, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries in a Post-Closing Tax Period, and (ii) if the Seller does not elect to control the conduct of a Tax Contest Claim, then Buyer shall keep the Seller reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax Contest Claim, the Seller shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Contest Claim and Buyer shall not compromise or settle any such Tax Contest Claim without obtaining the Seller’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(i)    The parties hereto agree for purposes of determining the Seller’s obligation for Taxes pursuant to Section 11.2(a) and for purposes of preparing all relevant Tax Returns pursuant to Section 8.3(a), to use the following conventions:

(i)    Buyer and the Seller agree that any deduction from taxable income of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which deduction arises in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (taking into account, without limitation, any Company Expenses and any vesting, conversion, cancellation, exchange, or exercise of any options or stock appreciation rights, any vesting or exchange of restricted stock, any deferred compensation, change-in-control payments, severance payments, retention payments, or bonuses, any interest, fees, expenses, premiums and penalties with respect to the prepayment of debt and the write-off or acceleration of the amortization of deferred financing costs, and any investment banking, legal, and accounting costs) is properly allocable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and except as otherwise required by applicable Law, Buyer and the Seller will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, treat for all Tax purposes (including for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B)) any such deduction as allocable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

(ii)    Any gains, income, deductions, losses or other items resulting from any transactions outside the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date, but after the Closing, shall not be treated as occurring on the Closing Date and the parties shall utilize (and cause their Affiliates to utilize) the “next day rule” in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) (or any similar provision of foreign, state or local Law) for purposes of reporting such items on the applicable Tax Returns or shall otherwise treat such gains, income, deductions, losses or other items as occurring on the day after the deemed asset sale for U.S. federal, and applicable state, local, territorial and foreign Tax purposes.

(iii)    No party shall, or shall allow an Affiliate to, make an election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) (or any other similar provision of foreign, state or local Law) to ratably allocate items incurred by the Company, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

(iv)    To the extent permitted under applicable Law, Buyer and the Seller will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, elect for all Tax purposes to end on the Closing Date (at the end of the Closing Date) all taxable periods of the Company and its Subsidiaries that would otherwise be Straddle Tax Periods. The portion of any Taxes that are payable for any Straddle Tax Period and relate to the portion of such Straddle Tax Period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of ad valorem or property Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Tax Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Tax Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Tax Period and (ii) in the case of any other Tax, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable computed on closing of the books basis as if the relevant Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the taxpayer holds a beneficial interest will be deemed to terminate at that time).

(v)    To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer agrees to waive any carryback of any net operating loss, net capital loss, Tax credit, or other Tax item arising in any Post-Closing Tax Period to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliated Group.

(j)    Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (with respect to the Partnerships and their Subsidiaries, the Partnerships and their Subsidiaries, to the extent the Company or any of its Affiliates has control over the Partnerships and their Subsidiaries) not to, take any action on the Closing Date after the Closing other than in the ordinary course of business or as explicitly contemplated hereby. After the Closing, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or with the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (with respect to the Partnerships and their Subsidiaries, the Partnerships and their Subsidiaries, to the extent the Company or any of its Affiliates has control over the Partnerships and their Subsidiaries) not to, (i) amend any Tax Return; (ii) make, revoke or change any Tax election; (iii) adopt or change any Tax accounting method, (iv) change any annual Tax accounting period, (v) grant an extension of any applicable statute of limitations; (vi) initiate any voluntary disclosure with respect to Taxes; or (vii) take any other similar action relating to Taxes, in each case, if the action could increase the amount of the entitlement of any Buyer Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a) or decrease the amount of entitlement of the Seller with respect to any Tax Refund or Tax benefit.

(k)    Except to the extent reflected as an asset in the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.4(b)), any Tax refund, credit or similar benefit (including any interest paid or credited by a Governmental Authority with respect thereto) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (excluding any Tax refund, credit, or similar benefit that results from the carryback of any net operating loss or net capital loss of Buyer or any of its Affiliates arising in any Post-Closing Tax Period) (a “Tax Refund”) shall be for the sole benefit of the Seller. To the extent that Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives or utilizes any Tax Refund after the Closing, Buyer shall pay to the Seller such Tax Refund within ten (10) days of receipt of such Tax Refund (or, if the Tax Refund is a Tax credit or similar benefit, the filing of any Tax Return utilizing such Tax Refund (in the form of a credit or offset to Taxes otherwise payable)) and provide a reasonably detailed description of the Tax Refund. The parties hereto agree that Tax Refunds for the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined using the methodologies set forth in Section 8.3(d)(iv). Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly take all reasonable actions (including those actions reasonably requested by the Seller) to file for and obtain any Tax refund, credit or similar benefit that would give rise to a Tax Refund (including filing any quick refund claim for any overpayment of estimated taxes, carrying back any net operating loss, net capital loss, Tax credit, or other Tax item of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries arising in a Pre-Closing Tax Period, filing any quick refund claim for any such carryback, and filing any amended Tax Return). Buyer shall, upon request, permit the Seller to participate in the prosecution of any such Tax Refund claim and shall not settle or otherwise resolve any such Tax Refund claim without the prior written consent of the Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(l)    Any Tax sharing or Tax allocation agreement between the Seller (or any of its Affiliates other than the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries) and the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries or the Partnerships or the Partnerships’ Subsidiaries) will be terminated with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries will not be bound thereby or have any right or liability thereunder, and no right or liability thereunder will be included as an asset or a liability in the calculation of the Purchase Price, as described in Section 2.2.

(m)    Notwithstanding Section 11.2(a), any transfer, sales, use, stamp, documentary, registration, conveyance, recording, or other similar tax or governmental fee (and any interest, penalty, or addition with respect thereto) incurred as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (“Transfer Tax”) shall be borne equally by the Seller and Buyer.

(n)    The Seller shall make or cause to be made timely and irrevocable elections under Section 336(e) of the Code and any comparable provisions of applicable state, local, territorial and foreign Tax Laws (collectively, the “Section 336(e) Election”) with respect to the purchase of the IT Solutions Shares and the HT Shares (and the deemed purchase of the shares of the Subsidiaries that are members of the Company Group) pursuant to this Agreement. The Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer (A) at or prior to the Closing an agreement for the members of the Company Group reflecting a binding obligation to make the Section 336(e) Election for such members, with such agreement executed by each applicable member and the actual or deemed seller of such member, as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h), which agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer, (B) at the time it delivers the Proposed Allocation pursuant to Section 2.8(a), drafts of the Section 336(e) election statements described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h)(6), which drafts shall be subject to adjustment to reflect any adjustment of the Proposed Allocation under Section 2.8, and as adjusted, shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer, and (C) at least thirty (30) days before the applicable filing due date (taking into account any extension of time permitted by applicable Law for filing), forms required to effectuate the Section 336(e) Election of each member of the Company Group under applicable federal state, local, territorial and foreign Tax Laws, which forms shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer. The Seller shall timely file the Section 336(e) Election forms described in the foregoing clause (B) in order to effectuate such Section 336(e) Elections. The Seller and Buyer agree not to take any action that could cause the Section 336(e) Election to be invalid and shall take no position contrary thereto unless required pursuant to a determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of other applicable Tax Law). The Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate (including filing such additional forms, Tax Returns, elections, schedules and other documents as may be required) to effect and preserve the Section 336(e) Election in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations implementing Section 336(e) of the Code and comparable provisions of applicable state, local, territorial and foreign Tax Laws.

8.4    Insurance. Following the Closing, the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries shall have access to any insurance policies and worker compensation insurance policies of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, to the extent coverage was available to the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries thereunder as of and for periods prior to the Closing, for any claims or actions arising from events that occurred prior to the Closing Date, including any claims or actions which are reported after the Closing Date.  The Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to submit such claims and actions to the applicable insurer(s) of Seller and its Affiliates on behalf of the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries and to pursue recovery with respect to any such submitted claims and actions against each such applicable insurer, and to remit promptly to the Company all such recoveries received in respect thereof from such insurers. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.4, the Seller’s fire and casualty insurance, business interruption insurance, liability insurance and other insurance policies shall cease to provide coverage for the Company, the Subsidiaries, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries and their businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors (collectively, the “Company Insureds”) on or after the Closing Date, and any refunded premiums shall be retained by the Seller.  Buyer will be solely responsible for acquiring and placing the fire and casualty insurance, business interruption insurance, liability insurance and other insurance policies to provide coverage for the Company Insureds for periods after the Closing.

8.5    Legal Proceedings; Production of Witnesses.

(a)    From and after the Closing, the Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to each other, upon reasonable written request, their (and their Affiliates’) respective officers, directors, employees and agents for fact finding, consultation and interviews and as witnesses to the extent that any such Person may reasonably be required in connection with any Actions in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved relating to the conduct of the business of Seller, the Company, the Partnerships or their respective Subsidiaries, prior to or after the Closing. Access to such Persons shall be granted during normal business hours at a location and in a manner and for durations of time (which in any event shall not be unreasonable) reasonably calculated to minimize disruption to such Persons and the business of the Seller and its Affiliates, the Company, the Partnerships or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable. The Seller and Buyer agree to reimburse each other for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including attorneys’ fees, but excluding officers’ or employees’ salaries, incurred by the other party in connection with providing individuals and witnesses pursuant to this Section 8.5(a).

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 8.3 shall govern with respect to Tax-related matters to the extent any provision in Section 8.3 is in conflict with Section 8.5(a). For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party shall have an obligation to cooperate, make available personnel or disclose any documents or other information pursuant to Section 8.5(a) or Section 8.3, if the Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties in any Action and such assistance, testimony, documents or other information is reasonably pertinent thereto; provided, further, that this shall not limit in any respect any rights under Law the Seller or Buyer may have with respect to discovery or the production of documents or other information in connection with any such Action.

8.6    Mail and Other Communications. After the Closing Date, each of the Seller and its Subsidiaries and Buyer, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries may receive mail, packages and other communications (including electronic communications) properly belonging to the other (or the other’s Subsidiaries). Accordingly, at all times after the Closing Date, each of the Seller and Buyer authorizes the other and their respective Subsidiaries (and, in the case of the Seller, authorizes the Partnerships and their Subsidiaries) to receive and open all mail, packages and other communications received by it and not unambiguously intended for the other party (or its Subsidiaries) or any of the other party’s (or its Subsidiaries’) officers or directors, and to retain the same to the extent that they relate to such party’s business, or to the extent that they do not relate to such party’s business, the receiving party shall promptly after becoming aware thereof refer, forward or otherwise deliver such mail, packages or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both parties’ businesses, copies thereof) to the other party. The provisions of this Section 8.6 are not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, constitute an authorization by either the Seller or Buyer to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and neither party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other for service of process purposes.

8.7    Confidentiality.

(a)    The Seller shall maintain, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to maintain, the confidentiality of, and the Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, refrain from using or disclosing to any third party (other than each other and their respective Representatives) directly or indirectly, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Buyer, any confidential or proprietary information of Buyer, the Company, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries, including any data or information relating to the business, customers, financial statements, conditions or operations of Buyer, the Company, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries (“Company/Buyer Confidential Information”); provided that the foregoing restriction shall not (i) apply to any information (A) generally available to, or known by, the public (other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Section 8.7(a)) or (B) that was independently developed by the Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than by the Company, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries prior to the Closing), (ii) prohibit any disclosure (A) required by Law so long as the Seller first complies with, and only discloses such information to the extent permitted by Section 8.7(b) below, or (B) necessary to be made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or (iii) supersede, modify or otherwise affect any of the obligations with respect to confidentiality set forth in the Mobile Distribution Agreement.

(b)    In the event that the Seller or any Person to whom the Seller is permitted to disclose any Company/Buyer Confidential Information to in accordance with this Agreement is required by Law (including by deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Company/Buyer Confidential Information, the Seller will give Buyer and the Company prompt written notice of such request or requirement so that Buyer or the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, and the Seller will reasonably cooperate with Buyer and the Company, at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to obtain such protective order. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Buyer, the Seller or the Person to whom disclosure of Company/Buyer Confidential Information has occurred in accordance with Section 8.7(a) are nonetheless required by Law to disclose Company/Buyer Confidential Information, the Seller or such Person may, without any breach or violation of this Section 8.7, disclose only that portion of the Company/Buyer Confidential Information which is required by Law to be disclosed, provided that the Seller or such Person, as applicable, exercises commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Company/Buyer Confidential Information, including by reasonably cooperating with Buyer and the Company, at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Company/Buyer Confidential Information required to be disclosed.

(d)    In the event that Buyer or any Person to whom Buyer is permitted to disclose any Seller Confidential Information to in accordance with this Agreement is required by Law (including by deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Seller Confidential Information, Buyer will give the Seller prompt written notice of such request or requirement so that the Seller may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, and Buyer will reasonably cooperate with the Seller to obtain such protective order at the Seller’s sole cost and expense. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the Seller, Buyer or the Person to whom disclosure of Seller Confidential Information has occurred in accordance with Section 8.7(c) are nonetheless required by Law to disclose Seller Confidential Information, Buyer or such Person may, without any breach or violation of this Section 8.7, disclose only that portion of Seller Confidential Information which is required by Law to be disclosed, provided that Buyer or such Person, as applicable, exercises commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Seller Confidential Information, including by reasonably cooperating with the Seller, at the Seller’s sole cost and expense, to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Seller Confidential Information required to be disclosed.

8.8    Use of Retained Names.

(a)    Following the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than the Partnerships), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Partnerships, immediately to cease to hold themselves out as having any affiliation with the Seller or any of its Affiliates and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than six (6) months following the Closing Date, cease to use or to authorize any third party to use any Retained Names, and remove, strike over, or otherwise obliterate all Retained Names from all assets and other materials owned or possessed by the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries, including any inventory, products, vehicles, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, signs, forms, websites, email, computer software and other materials and systems.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries may use the names and word marks included in the Retained Names after the Closing in a non-prominent manner (A) to accurately and in good faith describe the former ownership of the Company by the Seller, or (B) in a purely nominative manner to the extent permitted under applicable trademark Law concerning nominative fair use.

(c)    Without limiting any other remedies, if Buyer and its Affiliates fail to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions or otherwise fail to comply with any reasonable direction of the Seller or any of its Affiliates in relation to the use of the Retained Names consistent herewith, and fail to cure such deficiency within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof, the Seller shall be entitled to a temporary, preliminary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief.

(iii)    the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby is permanently enjoined or prohibited by the terms of a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction; or

(v)    prior to the Closing, by written notice to Buyer from the Seller if:

(i)    (A) there is a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions specified in Section 9.1(a), Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b) would not be satisfied at the Closing (a “Terminating Buyer Breach”), except that, if any such Terminating Buyer Breach is curable by Buyer through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, then, for a period of up to thirty (30) days after receipt by Buyer of notice from the Seller of such breach, but only as long as Buyer continues to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Terminating Buyer Breach (the “Buyer Cure Period”), such termination shall not be effective and the Termination Date shall be automatically extended until the end of the Buyer Cure Period, and such termination shall become effective only if the Terminating Buyer Breach is not cured within the Buyer Cure Period, or (B) (1) all of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions which by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) as of the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 3.1, and (2) Buyer has failed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within three (3) Business Days following the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 3.1;

(ii)    the Closing has not occurred on or before the Termination Date, unless the Seller’s willful breach is the primary reason for the Closing not occurring on or before such date; or

(iii)    the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby is permanently enjoined or prohibited by the terms of a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

10.2    Effect of Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 10.2, in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party hereto or its respective Affiliates, officers, directors or stockholders, other than liability of the Seller or Buyer (and the Guarantors), as the case may be, for any intentional and willful breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination; provided, however, that, a failure of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby when required to do so hereunder shall be deemed to be intentional and willful whether or not Buyer had sufficient funds available to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. In determining losses or damages recoverable upon termination by a party hereto for the other party’s intentional and willful breach, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that such losses and damages shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs, and shall include the benefit of the bargain lost by such party (taking into consideration relevant matters, including other opportunities and the time value of money), which shall be deemed to be damages payable to such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer’s and the Guarantors’ aggregate liability pursuant to this Section 10.2 or otherwise for any such intentional and willful breach of this Agreement occurring prior to termination hereof shall not in any event exceed an aggregate, maximum amount of $55,000,000. The provisions of Section 10.2, ARTICLE XII, clause (E) (and the reimbursement provisions) of Section 6.12, and the Confidentiality Agreement, shall survive any termination of this Agreement. While the Seller may pursue both a grant of specific performance under Section 12.13(c) and a claim for breach under this Section 10.2, under no circumstances shall the Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and monetary damages in connection with this Agreement or any termination of this Agreement.

11.1    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each representation warranty, covenant and obligation contained herein and any certificate related to any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation will survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1 (Organization of the Seller), Section 4.2 (Organization of the Company), Section 4.3 (Subsidiaries), Section 4.4 (Due Authorization), Section 4.7 (Capitalization of the Company), Section 4.8 (Capitalization of Subsidiaries), Section 4.16 (Taxes), Section 4.17 (Brokers’ Fees), Section 5.1 (Organization), Section 5.2 (Authorization) and Section 5.7 (Brokers’ Fees) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the date that is 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the matter which the claim relates, as such limitation period may be extended from time to time, (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.18 (Regulatory Matters) shall survive until the date which is three (3) years after the Closing Date, (iii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.23 (Environmental Matters) shall survive until the date which is two (2) years after the Closing Date, and (iv) any covenant contained in this Agreement that, by its terms, provides for performance following the Closing shall survive until such covenant is performed (the end of such fifteen (15) month or longer period, as applicable, the “Survival Expiration Date”). No claim for indemnification for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in, or otherwise pursuant to, this Agreement may be asserted pursuant to this Agreement unless on or before the applicable Survival Expiration Date, such claim is asserted by written notice in accordance with this Article XI, specifying, in reasonable detail, the basis of the claim, and any such representation, warranty or covenant with respect to which any such claim is so asserted in accordance herewith shall survive beyond their applicable Survival Expiration Date solely with respect to the inaccuracy therein or breach thereof described in or relating to such claim until resolution of such claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims related to fraud with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall survive until 90 days after the expiration of the date on which the statute of limitations otherwise applicable to such claims has expired.

11.2    Indemnification.

(c)    Subject to Section 11.4, from and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, the Company, their respective Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners, members, managers, agents, Representatives and Affiliates, excluding in each case the Partnerships (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not excluding any Subsidiary in its capacity as a partner, member or holder of Capital Stock of a Partnership) or any Subsidiary of any Partnership (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), for any and all Damages to the extent arising from or relating to (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty the Seller has made in this Agreement or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.2(d) of this Agreement; (ii) any breach by the Seller of any covenant or any breach of any agreement of the Seller in this Agreement; (iii) any Pre-Closing Taxes; (iv) any Company Expenses to the extent not included in the Closing Date Company Expenses (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.4(b)); (v) any Funded Debt outstanding immediately prior to the Closing to the extent not reflected or included in the Closing Date Funded Debt (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.4(b)); (vi) any payments made pursuant to (A) Section 7.1 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 9, 2013, by and among Metamark Genetics, Inc., the Company and HealthTronics Laboratory Solutions, Inc. or (B) Section 12.1 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, entered into as of August 26, 2011, by and among the Company, Lithotripers, Inc., Ocean Radiation Therapy, Inc., Advanced Medical Partners in Radiation, LLC and Vantage Operations Support Services, LLC, except in the case of this clause (B) for payments made with respect to the Excluded Assets (as defined therein) or the operations or assets of the Company, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries (or liabilities related thereto) other than the operations and assets of the Business (as defined therein in the agreement described in this clause (B)); (vi) the Midway Indemnification Matter and the Trellis Indemnification Matter; (vii) the Dormant Subsidiaries; or (viii) the matter identified on Schedule 11.2(a)(viii).

(d)    Subject to Section 11.4, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and its Subsidiaries, and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners, members, managers, agents, Representatives and Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) for any and all Damages to the extent arising from or relating to (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty Buyer has made in this Agreement or the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.3(c) of this Agreement, (ii) any breach by Buyer of any covenant or any breach of any agreement of Buyer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) any Action by any Person arising before or after the Closing against any Seller Indemnified Party with respect to the ownership or operation of the business of the Company, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the assets or liabilities of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of the Partnerships, in each case in this clause (iii), except for Damages with respect to which the Seller is obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 11.2(a) (without giving effect to any limitation in Section 11.4(a) or Section 11.4(b)).

(e)    The amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article XI shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.

(f)    The parties acknowledge and agree that certain representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and certain defined terms used or included therein (other than the defined term “Permits”) are qualified by references to “material,” “materiality,” “material respects”, or by matters having or not having a “Material Adverse Effect” (all of the foregoing, subject to the proviso to this sentence, “Materiality Qualifiers”); provided, however, that “Materiality Qualifiers” shall not include (x) dollar thresholds, (y) any reference to “material,” “materiality,” “material respects”, or matters having or not having a “Material Adverse Effect” used in the definition of any defined term (other than the defined term “Permits”), or (z) the term “Material Contract.” For purposes of determining whether a representation or warranty in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement has been breached or is inaccurate, (i) all such Materiality Qualifiers shall be given full force and effect in the representations set forth in Sections 4.9, 4.13(a) and 4.24; and (ii) subject to clause (i), all such Materiality Qualifiers in such representations and warranties shall be ignored and disregarded and the representations and warranties shall be construed without regard to any such Materiality Qualifiers therein contained. For the purposes of determining and calculating the amount of a claim and any related Damages resulting from a breach or inaccuracy, once such breach or inaccuracy is determined, all such Materiality Qualifiers in such representations and warranties (and defined terms used or referenced therein) shall be ignored and disregarded.

11.3    Indemnification Claim Procedures.

(a)    If any Action is commenced or threatened that may give rise to a claim for indemnification (an “Indemnification Claim”) by any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (each, an “Indemnified Party”), then such Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) notify the Indemnitor and (ii) deliver to the Indemnitor a written notice (A) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Action, (B) including a copy of all papers served with respect to such Action, (C) including the Indemnified Party’s best estimate (to the extent then determinable) of the amount of Damages that may arise from such Action, and (D) describing in reasonable detail the basis for the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Failure to notify the Indemnitor in accordance with this Section 11.3(a) will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent (1) the defense of such Action is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice or (2) the Indemnified Party fails to notify the Indemnitor of such Indemnification Claim in accordance with this Section 11.3(a) prior to the applicable Survival Expiration Date.

(b)    An Indemnitor may elect within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of an Indemnification Claim to assume and thereafter conduct (at the Indemnitor’s sole expense) the defense of any Action subject to any such Indemnification Claim with counsel of the Indemnitor’s choice, provided¸ that, (i) as a condition precedent to the Indemnitor’s right to assume control of such defense, the Indemnitor must agree in writing within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of an Indemnification Claim (A) to provide indemnification to the extent provided hereunder or (B) to reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable fees of one legal counsel (and one local counsel) in connection with such legal counsel’s participation in the defense of such Indemnification Claim; and (ii) the Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume control of such defense if (A) the Action relating to the Indemnification Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief, or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages, (B) the Action relating to the Indemnification Claim involves a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation that would reasonably be expected to involve incarceration of the Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers or employees, (C) the Indemnitor failed or is failing to diligently prosecute or defend such claim and, after reasonable notice, fails to cure such failure, or (D) the Action relating to the Indemnification Claim involves any material customer of the Company, the Partnerships or any of their respective Subsidiaries. If the Indemnitor so elects to assume and conduct the defense of any such Action, each Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the conduct of such defense by the Indemnitor (including the making of any bona fide related claims, counterclaim or cross complaint against any Person in connection with the Action) and/or the settlement of such Action by the Indemnitor; provided, however, that (1) the Indemnitor will not approve of the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to such Action without the Indemnified Party’s prior written approval (which must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless (x) the terms of such settlement provide for a complete release of the claims that are the subject of such Action in favor of the Indemnified Party, (y) all amounts paid or to be paid in settlement of such claim (other than amounts for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.4(b) and amounts actually paid pursuant to available insurance policies or other sources of third-party recovery) are paid or to be paid by the Indemnitor and (z) the settlement does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, and (2) the Indemnitor shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such defense through legal counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, but the fees and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne solely by the Indemnified Party and shall not be subject to indemnification under this Article XI (unless the parties to any such Action relating to the Indemnification Claim or threatened claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party and there exists legal conflicts of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party, in which case the reasonable fees of one legal counsel (and one local counsel, if needed) for the Indemnified Party shall be borne by the Indemnitor). If the Indemnified Party gives an Indemnitor notice of an Indemnification Claim and the Indemnitor (x) does not, within thirty (30) days after such notice is given, (I) give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of the Action or Actions subject to such Indemnification Claim or (II) satisfy the eligibility requirements specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above with respect to the assumption and control by the Indemnitor of the defense of such Action, or (y) elects to assume and control the defense of such Action, but does not thereafter conduct the defense diligently and in good faith, then the Indemnified Party may conduct the defense of and settle such Action; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party will not agree to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to such Action or Actions without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(c)    If any Indemnified Party becomes aware of any circumstances that may give rise to an Indemnification Claim for any matter not involving an Action, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) notify the Indemnitor and (ii) deliver to the Indemnitor a written notice (A) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the circumstances giving rise to the Indemnification Claim, (B) including the Indemnified Party’s best estimate (to the extent then determinable) of the amount of Damages that may arise from such circumstances, and (C) describing in reasonable detail the basis for the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Failure to notify the Indemnitor in accordance with this Section 11.3(c) will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent (1) the defense of such Indemnification Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice or (2) the Indemnified Party fails to notify the Indemnitor of such Indemnification Claim in accordance with this Section 11.3(c) prior to the Survival Expiration Date.

(d)    At the reasonable request of the Indemnitor, each Indemnified Party shall grant the Indemnitor and its Representatives all reasonable access to the books and records of such Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the matters to which the applicable Indemnification Claim relates. All such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted under the conditions which shall not unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to provide the Indemnitor or any of its Representatives with access to any books and records pursuant to this Section 11.3(d) where such access (A) would violate any applicable Law, or (B) would reasonably be expected to undermine or otherwise jeopardize attorney-client privilege or result in a conflict of interest, and (ii) this Section 11.3(d) shall not apply in the event of any pending or threatened Action or Indemnification Claim (other than for indemnification with respect to an Action by a third party) brought by a Buyer Indemnified Party directly against a Seller Indemnified Party, or vice versa (in which case the applicable rules of discovery shall apply).

(e)    Commencing on the Closing Date, the Seller shall, in consultation with Buyer, assume and control the defense of the claims relating to the matters described in Section 11.2(a)(vi) and Section 11.2(a)(viii), and the assertion of any defense, affirmative defense, crossclaim, third party complaint or counterclaim relating thereto, as applicable. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that no notice of any matter described in Section 11.2(a)(vi) or Section 11.2(a)(viii) needs to be delivered with respect thereto pursuant to Section 11.3(a).

11.4    Limitations on Indemnification Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any claims an Indemnified Party makes under this Article XI will be limited as follows:

(e)    Indemnification Cap. The aggregate amount of Damages for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) (in the aggregate) will not exceed $7,500,000, and the aggregate amount of Damages for which the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(i) will not exceed $7,500,000; provided, however, that (i) the limitations in this Section 11.4(a) shall not apply (A) to any indemnification obligations arising from the Fundamental Representations, or (B) in the case of fraud with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to the aggregate amount of Damages for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled (taking into account the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.4(a)) to indemnification pursuant to clause Section 11.2(a)(i), the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement other than this Section 11.4(a)) to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) (in the aggregate) with respect to additional Damages not to exceed $7,500,000 to the extent such Damages, if any, arise from any inaccuracy or breach of clause (a), (b), (d)(i) or (d)(iii) of Section 4.18.

(f)    Claims Basket. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) with respect to any claim (or series of similar or related claims) for indemnification unless and until the amount of Damages (excluding costs and expenses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties incurred in connection with making such claim under this Agreement) incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties that are the subject of such claim (or series of similar or related claims) exceeds $25,000 (the “Per-Claim Basket”), and the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) to the extent the aggregate amount of all Damages (excluding costs and expenses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties incurred in connection with making such claim under this Agreement) incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) (excluding claims or series of related or similar claims involving amounts below the Per-Claim Basket) exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Basket Amount”), and the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to indemnification for such Damages to the extent such Damages exceed the Per-Claim Basket and the Basket Amount; provided, however, that the limitations in this Section 11.4(b) shall not apply (i) to any indemnification obligations arising from the Fundamental Representations, or (ii) in the case of fraud or intentional breach with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g)    Damages Net of Insurance Proceeds, Tax Benefits and Other Third-Party Recoveries. All Damages for which any Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under this Article XI shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds, Tax benefits (determined on a “with and without” basis), indemnification payments and other third-party recoveries to which any Indemnified Party actually receives in respect of any Damages incurred by such Indemnified Party, in each case, net of costs of collection or other cost incurred in connection with the receipt of such proceeds or amounts. In the event any Indemnified Party is entitled to any insurance proceeds, Tax benefits, indemnity payments or any third-party recoveries in respect of any Damages for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI, such Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, receive or realize such proceeds, benefits, payments or recoveries, provided that with respect to third party indemnification, contribution or similar claims against customers or Affiliates of customers, commercially reasonable efforts shall be deemed to include notification of a potential claim and reasonable attempts to resolve the claim, but shall not include a requirement to file suit, threaten litigation or otherwise take an adversarial position that the Indemnified Party reasonably determines would reasonably be expected to materially damage the relationship with the customer. In the event that any such insurance proceeds, Tax benefits, indemnity payments or other third-party recoveries are realized by an Indemnified Party subsequent to receipt by such Indemnified Party of any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceeds, Tax benefits, indemnity payments or other third-party recoveries relate, appropriate refunds shall be made promptly by the relevant Indemnified Parties of all or the relevant portion of such indemnification payment.

(h)    Assignment of Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article XI, at the election of the Indemnitor, such Indemnified Party shall assign to the Indemnitor all of its claims for recovery against third Persons as to such Damages, whether by insurance coverage, contribution claims, subrogation or otherwise (other than subrogation or contribution claims against customers of the Indemnified Party or Affiliates of such customers).

(i)    Punitive and Certain Other Damages. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any special, punitive or exemplary damages, except, in each case, to the extent such damages are finally awarded and actually paid by the Indemnified Party to an unaffiliated third party in connection with an Action against the Indemnified Party.

(j)    Damages Reserved for in Price Component. No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any Damages to the extent included or reflected in a contra-asset, liability or obligation accrued or reserved for or reflected in the calculation of any Price Component.

(k)    No Duplicate Claims. In the event a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, recovers Damages in respect of an Indemnification Claim, no other Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, may recover the same Damages in respect of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement.

(l)    Tax Matters. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Buyer may not claim indemnification under this Article XI for any Tax resulting from (i) any breach by Buyer of any covenant or agreement of Buyer in this Agreement or (ii) any unavailability to carry forward to a Post-Closing Tax Period any net operating loss, net capital loss, Tax credit, or other Tax item arising in a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

11.5    Mitigation of Damages. An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to the extent required by applicable Law to mitigate any Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI.

11.6    Tax Treatment. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, all amounts paid with respect to Indemnification Claims under this Agreement and all amounts paid under Section 8.3, and all payments pursuant Sections 2.4, 2.5 or 2.6, shall be treated by the parties hereto for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

11.7    Indemnification Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to claims for specific performance of covenants, injunctive or other equitable relief (including to prevent breaches of this Agreement), or resolution of the Adjustment Amount and related matters by the Auditor pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5, following the Closing, indemnification pursuant to this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties and any parties claiming by or through any party (including the Indemnified Parties) related to or arising from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in, or otherwise pursuant to, this Agreement and neither Buyer nor the Seller shall have any other rights or remedies in connection with any breach of this Agreement or any other liability arising out of the negotiation, entry into or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Laws or otherwise. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth in this Article XI. Furthermore, Buyer and the Seller acknowledge and agree that:

(i)    the parties have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the transactions contemplated hereby exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement and hereby waive any statutory and common law remedies, including remedies that may be available under Environmental Laws, with respect to matters relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including with respect to any environmental, health or safety matters);

(ii)    the provisions of and the limited remedies provided in this Article XI were specifically bargained for among the parties and were taken into account by the parties in arriving at the Purchase Price;

(iii)    after the Closing, no party or its Affiliates may seek the rescission of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(iv)    the parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm's-length negotiations, and the parties specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm's-length transaction.

For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments made to the Purchase Price pursuant to Sections 2.4, 2.5 or 2.6 shall not be considered “remedies” for purposes of this Section 11.7 and shall not be limited by the terms of this Section 11.7. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall prevent or limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain (x) injunctive or other equitable relief (including to prevent breaches of this Agreement) and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or any other equitable relief or (y) any remedy hereunder or otherwise with respect to any fraud.

12.1    Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may, at any time prior to the Closing, by action taken by its Board of Directors, or officers thereunto duly authorized, waive any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or (without limiting Section 12.10) agree to an amendment or modification to this Agreement by an agreement in writing executed by each of the parties in the same manner (but not necessarily by the same Persons) as this Agreement. No waiver by any of the parties hereto of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No waiver by any of the parties of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the party sought to be charged with such waiver.

12.2    Notices. All notices and other communications among the parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iv) when delivered by facsimile or email (in each case in this clause (iv), solely if receipt is confirmed), addressed as follows:

The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

No party shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver any such signature page or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each party forever waives any such defense.

12.9    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Schedules and Annexes to this Agreement), the Transition Services Agreement, the Limited Guaranty and that certain Confidentiality Agreement dated as of April 23, 2013 between Altaris Capital Partners, LLC and the Seller (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exist between the parties except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, the Limited Guaranty and the Confidentiality Agreement.

12.10    Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement.

12.11    Publicity. The Seller and Buyer agree that, from the date hereof through the Closing Date, no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued or made by or on behalf of any party without the prior consent of the other party, except that each of the Seller, the Partnerships and their respective Subsidiaries may make announcements from time to time to their respective employees, customers, suppliers and other business relations and otherwise as the Seller may reasonably determine is necessary to comply with applicable Law or the requirements of any agreement to which the Seller, a Partnership or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate to prepare a joint press release to be issued on or promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) after the date of this Agreement and a joint press release to be issued on the Closing Date. The Seller and Buyer agree that the existence of this Agreement (prior to issuance of the press release to be issued after the date hereof) and the terms hereof shall be considered “Confidential Information” for all purposes under the Confidentiality Agreement.

12.12    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.

12.13    Enforcement; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)    For the purpose of any Action instituted with respect to the enforcement of any determination made by the Auditor pursuant to Section 2.4(b), the enforcement of Section 6.5 or Section 12.13(b), or any Action otherwise permitted to be instituted under the terms of this Agreement, each of the parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Delaware, in any such Action, agrees that all claims in respect of any such Action may be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating thereto in any other court. Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such Action so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto.

(b)    The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur, and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law, in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, subject to Section 12.13(c), the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity. Each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy.

(c)    In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Equity Commitment Letter, it is explicitly agreed that the Seller shall be entitled to seek specific performance or injunctive relief with respect to Buyer’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby only in the event that (i) all of the conditions in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 have been satisfied (other than those which, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing), and (ii) the Seller has irrevocably confirmed in writing that (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 9.3 have been satisfied (other than those which, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing) or will be waived by the Seller, (B) the Seller is prepared to consummate the Closing and stands ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing and (C) if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing is funded, then the Closing will occur.

(d)    Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of any action, suit or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement, by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 12.13(d).

12.14    Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto (or the Guarantors under and in accordance with and only the extent set forth in the Limited Guaranty or the Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable) and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement and not otherwise), other than the Guarantors under and in accordance with and only the extent set forth in the Limited Guaranty or the Equity Commitment Letter, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Seller or Buyer under this Agreement (whether for indemnification or otherwise) of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

12.15    Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representations; Non-Assertion of Attorney-Client Privilege.

(a)    Conflicts of Interest. Buyer hereby waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause the Company and its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Representation”), of the Seller, its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, employees or directors (any such person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby, by any legal counsel (“Prior Company Counsel”) currently representing any Designated Person in connection with this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby (the “Current Representation”). Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer agrees that, following the Closing, Prior Company Counsel may serve as counsel to any Designated Person in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding any representation by Prior Company Counsel prior to the Closing, and Buyer (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, including, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer, the Company, a Partnership or any of their respective Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Designated Person, on the other hand, Prior Company Counsel may represent one or more Designated Persons in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Buyer, the Company, a Partnership or one of their respective Subsidiaries and even though Prior Company Counsel may have represented the Company, the Partnerships or their respective Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute.

(b)    Attorney-Client Privilege. Buyer waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause the Company and its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication prior to the Closing between any Prior Company Counsel and any Designated Person occurring during the Current Representation in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute between any Designated Person and one or more of Buyer, the Company and their respective Affiliates, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all rights to such attorney-client privilege and to control such attorney-client privilege shall be retained by the Seller. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any advice given to or communication with any of the Designated Persons (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby shall not be subject to any joint privilege (whether or not the Company or one more of its Subsidiaries also received such advice or communication) and shall be owned solely by such Designated Persons (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries). Furthermore, Buyer hereby acknowledges that it has had the opportunity (including on behalf of its Affiliates and the Company) to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Agreement, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than Prior Company Counsel. This Section 12.15 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 12.15 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of the Seller and Prior Company Counsel affected thereby.
