Buyer and Sellers are referred to collectively herein as the “Parties” and each individually as a “Party”.

WHEREAS, Sellers collectively own all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Assigned Risk Solutions Ltd., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”); and

WHEREAS, Sellers desire to sell to Buyer all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company (the “Company Securities”), and Buyer desires to purchase from Sellers the Company Securities, upon the terms set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, mutual promises, representations, warranties and covenants herein, and subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.1    Basic Transaction. In accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Sellers shall sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Buyer, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions on transferability of the Company Securities imposed by applicable Law, and subject to any Liens caused by Buyer or any of its Affiliates), all right, title and interest in and to all of the Company Securities.

1.2    Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Company Securities shall consist of an amount in cash (the “Cash Payment”) equal to (a) $47,000,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”), minus (b) the Debt Amount, minus (c) the Transaction Expenses Amount, minus (d) the Working Capital Deficit (if any), plus (e) the Working Capital Surplus (if any), plus (f) the A/R Adjustment (if any). In addition, the Sellers will be entitled to certain additional consideration from Buyer as and to the extent set forth in Section 1.8 (Earnout).

1.3    Estimated Cash Payment. Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) Sellers’ reasonable estimates of the Debt Amount, Transaction Expenses Amount (including reasonable detail as to each item thereof), Working Capital Deficit (if any) and Working Capital Surplus (if any), in each case as of the Closing Date, but not the A/R Adjustment and (ii) based on such estimates, Sellers’ calculation of the Cash Payment (without taking into account the A/R Adjustment) payable at the Closing (such amount, the “Estimated Cash Payment”).

1.4    Payments.

(a)    Closing Payments. At the Closing, Buyer shall (i) pay the Estimated Cash Payment to Sellers in accordance with the ownership percentages set forth on Exhibit A hereto; and (ii) pay the Transaction Expenses Amount set forth in Sellers’ calculation of the Estimated Cash Payment pursuant to the direction of Sellers.

(b)    Post-Closing Adjustment. Within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Cash Payment pursuant to Section 1.5, (i) if the Cash Payment exceeds the Estimated Cash Payment, then such excess shall be paid by Buyer to Sellers in cash in accordance with the ownership percentages set forth on Exhibit A or (ii) if the Estimated Cash Payment exceeds the Cash Payment, then such excess shall be paid by Sellers to Buyer in cash.

(c)    Payments. All payments made pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the applicable receiving party to the applicable paying party.

1.5    Final Cash Payment Determination.

(a)    Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a statement setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Debt Amount, Transaction Expenses Amount, Working Capital Deficit (if any), and Working Capital Surplus (if any), in each case as of the Closing Date, and the A/R Adjustment (if any) and, based on such calculations, Buyer’s calculation of the Cash Payment (such statement, the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement shall be accompanied by all records and work papers necessary for Sellers to compute and otherwise review the information set forth therein.

(b)    If Sellers have any objections to the Closing Statement, then, within forty-five (45) days after the date of Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Statement to Sellers, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “Objections Statement”) describing in reasonable detail Sellers’ objections to the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer, including Sellers’ calculation of the Cash Payment. If Sellers fail to deliver an Objections Statement within such forty-five (45) day period, then the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Sellers and shall automatically become final and binding on all Parties. If Sellers deliver an Objections Statement within such forty-five (45) day period, then Sellers and Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such disputes, but if a final resolution is not obtained within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as Buyer and Sellers may agree) after Sellers have submitted the Objections Statement, any remaining matters which are in dispute will be resolved by Deloitte or, if Deloitte is unwilling or unable, by Ernst & Young or, if Ernst & Young is unwilling or unable, by accountants from one of the Reserved Accounting Firms to be chosen by random lottery conducted by a neutral third party (the accounting firm determined pursuant to this sentence, the “Accountants”). The Accountants will prepare and deliver a written report to Buyer and Sellers and will submit a resolution of such unresolved disputes promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the dispute is submitted to the Accountants. The Accountants’ determination of such unresolved disputes will be final and binding upon all Parties; provided, however, that no such determination shall be any more favorable to Sellers than is set forth in the Objections Statement or any more favorable to Buyer

than is proposed in the Closing Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Accountants’ shall not make any determination with respect to any matters not subject to a dispute in the Objections Statement. The Closing Statement that is final and binding on the Parties, however determined pursuant to this Section 1.5, is referred to as the “Final Closing Statement,” and the Cash Payment shall be determined on the basis of the Debt Amount, the Transaction Expenses Amount, the Working Capital Deficit (if any), the Working Capital Surplus (if any) , and the A/R Adjustment (if any) as set forth on the Final Closing Statement.

(c)    Each Party agrees to execute, if requested by the Accountants, a reasonable engagement letter with respect to any disputed matters referred to them pursuant to Section 1.5(b) or Section 1.8(c), including customary indemnities. Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall each pay the percentage of the amount of the fees and expenses of the Accountants for its review and determination pursuant to Section 1.5(b) or Section 1.8(c) equal to (A) the aggregate amount of the disputed matters submitted to the Accountants that are not settled in favor of such Party (as finally determined by the Accountants), divided by (B) the aggregate amount of all disputed matters submitted to the Accountants. Such payments shall be made within ten (10) Business Days following each such final determination. If a retainer is required by the Accountants, the retainer shall be split equally between Buyer and Sellers, provided that the Party or Parties responsible for paying the fees and expenses of the Accountants pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall reimburse the other Party or Parties (as applicable) for the portion of the retainer paid by such other Party or Parties.

1.6    Calculations. All calculations of Working Capital and the Service Fee Receivables Balance under this Agreement, whether estimates or otherwise, shall be determined in accordance with the sample calculation of Working Capital set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto and the Accounting Principles.

1.7    Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of McDermott Will & Emery LLP in Chicago, Illinois, commencing at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”). All transactions contemplated herein to occur on and as of the Closing Date shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously and to be effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date.

1.8    Earnout.

(a)    In addition to the Cash Payment, Sellers will be entitled to certain additional consideration from Buyer after the Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.8.

(b)    With respect to the twelve-month period beginning on the Closing Date and each of the two succeeding twelve-month periods (each of such three twelve-month periods, an “Earnout Period”), the Sellers (taken together) shall be entitled to receive a cash payment from Buyer in an amount (such amount, an “Earnout Amount”) equal to (x) 1.25%, multiplied by (y) the sum of (A) the Company’s Written Premium for such Earnout Period and (B) the Company’s Fees for such Earnout Period; provided, however, that if at any time prior to the end of the final Earnout Period, the Company or any material portion of its assets or business is sold (whether pursuant to a merger, stock sale, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or otherwise, and whether

in a single transaction or a series of transactions) (such a sale, a “Sale of the Company”), then the total Earnout Amount payable by Buyer to Sellers in respect of all three Earnout Periods shall instead be calculated as follows:

(i)    if the Sale of the Company occurs prior to the end of the first Earnout Period, then the total Earnout Amount shall be an amount equal to (x) 1.25%, multiplied by (y) the sum of (A) the Company’s Written Premium for the period of twelve calendar months ending as of the last day of the month preceding the month in which the Sale of the Company occurs and (B) the Company’s Fees for such twelve calendar month period, multiplied by (z) three (3); or

(ii)    if the Sale of the Company occurs after the end of the first Earnout Period, but prior to the end of the second Earnout Period, then the total Earnout Amount shall be an amount equal to (x) the Earnout Amount paid or payable with respect to the first Earnout Period, plus (y) an amount equal to (A) 1.25%, multiplied by (B) the sum of (I) the Company’s Written Premium for the period of twelve calendar months ending as of the last day of the month preceding the month in which the Sale of the Company occurs and (II) the Company’s Fees for such twelve calendar month period, multiplied by (C) two (2); or

(iii)    if the Sale of the Company occurs after the end of the second Earnout Period, but prior to the end of the third Earnout Period, then the total Earnout Amount shall be an amount equal to (x) the Earnout Amounts paid or payable with respect to each of the first and second Earnout Periods, plus (y) an amount equal to (A) 1.25%, multiplied by (B) the sum of (I) the Company’s Written Premium for the period of twelve calendar months ending as of the last day of the month preceding the month in which the Sale of the Company occurs and (II) the Company’s Fees for such twelve calendar month period.

Any and all amounts payable to Sellers pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be paid at or prior to the closing of the Sale of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, if any amount is paid to Sellers pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above in connection with a Sale of the Company, no additional Earnout Amount shall be payable to Sellers at any time following the date of such payment.

(c)    Buyer shall deliver to Sellers within sixty (60) days after the end of each Earnout Period a worksheet setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Earnout Amount for such Earnout Period (such worksheet, the “Earnout Statement”). The Earnout Statement shall be accompanied by all records and work papers necessary for Sellers to compute and otherwise review the information set forth therein. Sellers shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of an Earnout Statement to review such Earnout Statement delivered by Buyer. Unless Sellers deliver written notice to Buyer on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after Sellers’ receipt of an Earnout Statement specifying in reasonable detail Sellers’ objections to the Earnout Statement, Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Earnout Amount as set forth in such Earnout Statement delivered by Buyer. If Sellers so notify Buyer of an objection to an Earnout Statement and the applicable Earnout Amount as set forth in such Earnout Statement, Sellers and Buyer shall, within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as they may agree) following such notice (the “Earnout Resolution Period”), attempt to resolve their differences, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final,

binding and conclusive. At the conclusion of the Earnout Resolution Period, (i) if any amounts remain in dispute, then all amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted to the Accountants for resolution in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.5(b) mutatis mutandis, and (ii) all amounts not in dispute, if not previously paid, shall be paid as provided herein.

(d)    For purposes of this Section 1.8, (i) “Written Premium” of the Company means the amount of total private passenger and commercial assigned risk, voluntary take out and mandatory take out premium managed and administered by the Company on behalf of a servicing carrier (the “Managed Business”), plus the total amount of private passenger and commercial auto premium managed and administered by the Company on behalf of state departments of insurance, assigned risk plans and other agencies; and (ii) “Fees” means the amount of buyout fees and proceeds from the sale of take out, territorial and other credits received by such Company servicing carriers from insurance carriers with respect to the Managed Business. For illustrative purposes, attached as Exhibit B hereto is a statement of the Company’s Written Premium and Fees for the year ended December 31, 2014, and a sample calculation of the Earnout Amount that would have been payable based thereon.

(e)    Any Earnout Amount payable by Buyer to Sellers hereunder shall be paid within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of such Earnout Amount pursuant to this Section 1.8 and shall be paid by Buyer to Sellers in cash in accordance with the ownership percentages set forth in Exhibit A.

(f)    Buyer agrees that, at all times prior to April 1, 2018, except with the prior written consent of the Sellers, for so long as Buyer continues to own the Company Securities, (i) Buyer shall not direct any material portion of the business of the Company to another Subsidiary or Affiliate of Buyer, (ii) Buyer shall maintain the Company as a wholly owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Buyer and (iii) Buyer shall not otherwise take or omit to take any action (directly or indirectly) for the purpose of reducing the Earnout Amount.

(c)    Each Seller agrees that during the three-year period immediately following the Closing it will not, and will cause each of its current and future Affiliates not to (directly or indirectly): (i) hire, engage or recruit, solicit or otherwise attempt to employ or engage or enter into any business relationship with any Person employed by the Company, or induce or attempt to induce any such Person to leave such employment, or (ii) intentionally interfere with the relationship between the Company and any of the Company’s current customers, servicing carriers, sub-producers or other business associates engaged in the Business, or intentionally induce, solicit or otherwise cause to terminate, non-renew or reduce premiums written by any such customers, servicing carriers, sub-producers or other business associates; provided, however, that in the case of clause (i) of this subsection, (x) placing a general advertisement of employment will not be deemed a breach of this Section 4.5(c) and (y) any Seller or its Affiliate may hire a former employee of the Company after such former employee has ceased to be employed by the Company in the operation of the Business for a period of at least six months.

(d)    Sellers, on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates, agree that irreparable damage would occur in the case of any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 4.5, and, accordingly, that Buyer shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, including the remedy of specific performance, to prevent any breach of this Section 4.5.

4.6    Certain Employee Matters.

(a)    For the period following the Closing through the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, each Company Employee shall be entitled to receive while in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and the Company or its applicable Affiliate shall cause each Company Employee while so employed to receive (i) salary, wages, incentive compensation, bonus opportunities, and other material terms and conditions of employment that are, in the aggregate, substantially similar to those provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee benefits that are substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided to such Company Employee under the applicable Employee Benefit Plans in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. Buyer will have full responsibility to comply with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended, and any other similar Laws of any jurisdiction relating to any worker protection, plant closing or mass layoff for periods after the Closing.

(b)    In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9 Q&A-7, as of the Closing Date, Buyer will assume all Liability for providing and administering all required notices and benefits under COBRA to all Company Employees and their dependents for qualifying events that occur on and after the Closing Date. No Seller will have any COBRA Liability or obligations to such Company Employees or their dependents after the Closing Date. For avoidance of doubt,

the Buyer will not have any COBRA Liability or obligations to provide or administer COBRA to any Company Employee and their dependents for qualifying events that occur before the Closing Date.

(c)    For all purposes other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension arrangement under the Employee Benefit Plans or any employee benefit plans established by the Company or Buyer after Closing (each a “New Employee Benefit Plan”), as of the Closing Date, each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company (or any predecessor entities thereof) to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled to credit for such service prior to the Closing under any similar (or under the same) Employee Benefit Plan. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)    each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting period, in any and all New Employee Benefit Plans to the extent coverage under such New Employee Benefit Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Employee Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee previously participated (such plans, collectively referred to as the “Old Employee Benefit Plans”); and

(ii)    for purposes of each New Employee Benefit Plan providing welfare benefits to any Company Employee, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (X) cause all preexisting condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Employee Benefit Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents and (Y) cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Company Employee or his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Employee Benefit Plan ending on the date that such Company Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Employee Benefit Plan begins to be taken into account under the New Employee Benefit Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Employee.

(d)    As of the Closing Date, the Company Employees will be fully vested in their account balances in any Employee Pension Benefit Plan sponsored by any Seller (each a “Seller Pension Plan”) and will cease to participate in such plans. Any Seller contributions under Seller Pension Plans shall be made without regard to end-of-year employment requirements and shall be made prior to the Closing Date. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, each Company Employee with an account balance in any Seller Pension Plan which is a defined contributions plan (to the extent permitted by the terms of such plan and applicable Law) will be permitted to roll over his or her account balance (including any outstanding loan amount, provided such Company Employee is not in default thereof at the time of such rollover) to a U.S. defined contribution plan maintained by the Company or Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, (“Buyer Defined Contribution Plan”) which plan shall be tax-qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and eligible to accept such rollovers. Buyer shall or shall cause Affiliate of Buyer to take any actions necessary, including plan amendment, to ensure that Buyer Defined Contribution Plan may accept rollovers of loan balances.

(e)    For the period following the Closing through the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer will, or will cause one of its Subsidiaries to, provide each Company Employee with severance payments and benefits that are no less favorable than the severance payments and

benefits that Company Employees would have been entitled to under arrangements with the Sellers on the date of this Agreement.

(f)    To the extent Company Employees participate in a dependent care or medical expense reimbursement account under any Employee Benefit Plan (“Sellers’ FSA”) during the calendar year that includes the Closing Date, Buyer will establish one or more comparable plans that will, or will cause a similar plan maintained by an Affiliate of Buyer to, (“Buyer’s FSA”), recognize the elections that such Company Employees had in effect for the plan year in which the Closing occurs under Sellers’ FSA. Buyer’s FSA will (i) assume the obligations of Sellers’ FSA with respect to Company Employees as of the Closing Date and (ii) provide the same level of dependent care and medical expense reimbursement account benefits as those provided under Sellers’ FSA at least through the end of the plan year in effect as of the Closing. As soon as practicable after the Closing, the applicable Seller will transfer to Buyer in cash an amount equal to the total amount that Company Employees have contributed to Sellers’ FSA through the Closing Date for the calendar year that includes the Closing Date, less all amounts that have been paid from Sellers’ FSA through the Closing Date for claims incurred in such calendar year (such difference, the “Flex Plan Amount”). If the Flex Plan Amount is less than $0.00, Buyer will transfer, as soon as practicable after the Closing, to the applicable Seller, an amount in cash equal to all amounts that have been paid from Sellers’ FSA through the Closing Date for claims incurred by the Company Employees in the calendar year that includes the Closing Date, less the total amount that Company Employees have contributed to Sellers’ FSA through the Closing Date for such calendar year. After the Closing Date, Buyer’s FSA will be responsible for reimbursement of all previously unreimbursed reimbursable medical expense and dependent care claims incurred by Company Employees, regardless of when the claims were incurred. For each Company Employee who participates in the Sellers’ FSA for the applicable year, Seller will provide, in a format reasonably acceptable to Buyer’s vendor, data relating to such Company Employee’s balance, contribution rate and amount of claims filed under the Sellers’ FSA for the applicable year.

(g)    No provision in this Section 4.6 will: (i) create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of either Seller, Buyer or any other Person, other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, (ii) constitute or create, or be deemed to constitute or create, an employment agreement or (iii) constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any Employee Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates.

(h)    Closing Bonus. Following the Closing Date, Buyer will cause the Company to pay (i) the payments, bonuses and severance described in the Estimated Closing Statement, in the amounts specified in and to the persons indicated thereon, and (ii) the payroll, employment or other Taxes payable with respect to such payments, bonuses and severance, in each case in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices, and in each case subject to the provision of services pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement to the extent necessary to enable the Company to make such payments.

4.7    Tax Matters.

(a)    Tax Indemnification. KAI shall indemnify the Company, Buyer and each Affiliate of Buyer and hold them harmless from and against (i) all Taxes of the Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such taxable period through the end of the Closing Date (collectively, each such taxable period, the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), and (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary group of which the Company is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. Law, and provided that, KAI shall have no obligation to indemnify the Company, the Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer for any Taxes resulting from (w) a Section 338 or Section 338(h)(10) Election (or any similar election under state, local, or non-U.S. Law) with respect to the Buyer’s purchase of the Company’s stock pursuant to this Agreement or that result solely from the Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, or (in the case of acts occurring after the Closing) the Company engaging in any activity or transaction that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be treated as a purchase or sale of assets of the Company for federal, state, local, or foreign Tax purposes, (x) any transactions occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing outside the ordinary course of business, (y) any breach by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer of any representation or covenant contained in this Agreement, or (z) any action, suit, investigation, audit, claim, assessment or amended Tax Return which results in any change after the Closing Date in an item of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or amount of Tax that results in an increase in the Tax Liability for which KAI would otherwise be liable pursuant to this Section 4.7(a) if such change results in a decrease in the Tax Liability of the Company, the Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer for any taxable year or period beginning after the Closing Date or for the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, KAI shall be liable only to the extent that such Taxes are in excess of the amount, if any, of the reserve for such Taxes (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) reflected as a current Liability for purposes of the determination of the Working Capital.

(b)    Straddle Periods. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), (i) the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by the income, receipts, transactions or payroll of the Company allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and (ii) the amount of other Taxes which relate to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period.

(c)    Tax Returns.

(i)    For all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, the Sellers shall cause the Company to join in the Sellers’ consolidated federal income Tax Return and, where applicable and consistent with prior Tax reporting by the Company, any combined or unitary state and local income Tax Returns. In jurisdictions where the Company has reported income separately from the Sellers or its Affiliates, the Company shall file

separate company state and local income Tax Returns and remit any Taxes due with respect to such state and local income Tax Returns. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction Expenses shall be deducted, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, on the Tax Returns of the Company for the applicable Pre-Closing Tax Periods. The safe harbor election set forth in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2011-29 shall apply to determine the deductibility of any success based fees in the Tax Returns discussed in this Section 4.7(c)(i). The Buyer shall cause the Company to furnish Tax information to the Sellers to allow the Sellers to satisfy their obligations under this Section 4.7(c) in accordance with the Company’s past custom and practice.

(ii)    The Buyer shall file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns that relate to any Straddle Period and shall remit any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. With respect to Tax Returns to be filed by the Buyer pursuant to the preceding sentence, such Tax Returns will be filed in a manner consistent with past practice and the terms of this Agreement and such Tax Returns shall be submitted to the Sellers not later than 30 days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns for review and approval by the Sellers, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld.

(d)    Refunds and Tax Benefits. Any Tax refunds that are received by the Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, or the Company, and any amounts credited against Tax (including the excess of (i) the amount of the reserve for Taxes not yet due and payable (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) reflected as a current Liability for purposes of the determination of the Working Capital over (ii) the actual Liability of the Company for Taxes not yet due and payable as of the Closing Date) to which Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, or the Company become entitled, that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Sellers, (excluding any refund or credit attributable to any loss in a tax year (or portion of a Straddle Period) beginning after the Closing Date applied (e.g., as a carryback) to income in a tax year (or portion of a Straddle Period) ending on or before the Closing Date), and the Buyer shall pay over to the Sellers any such refund or the amount of any such credit within 30 days after receipt or entitlement thereto; provided, however, the Buyer shall not be required to pay over to the Sellers any such refund or the amount of any such credit up to the amount of any Tax asset (excluding any deferred Tax asset established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) reflected as a current asset for purposes of the determination of the Working Capital.

(e)    Post-Closing Transactions Not In Ordinary Course. The Buyer and the Sellers agree to report all transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after Buyer’s purchase of the Company’s stock on the Company’s federal income Tax Return for the taxable period beginning the day following the Closing Date to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B). The Buyer agrees to indemnify the Sellers for any additional Taxes owed by the Sellers or its Affiliates (including any Taxes owed by the Sellers due to this indemnification payment) resulting from any transaction engaged in by the Company not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after Buyer's purchase of the Company’s stock.

(f)    Carrybacks. Neither the Buyer nor any Affiliate of Buyer shall carryback or cause or permit the Company to carryback into any consolidated, unitary or combined Tax Return of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller for any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date any post-Closing Date Tax attribute without the prior written consent of the Seller.

(g)    Tax Allocation Agreements. The Sellers will cause any tax allocation or tax sharing arrangement, policy or procedure to which the Company is or was a party, to be terminated with respect to the Company on or prior to the Closing Date so that the Company will have no further liability thereunder.

(h)    Tax Records; Cooperation. Buyer and Sellers will, and will cause their respective representatives to (i) provide the other Party and its representatives with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period or any audit or other examination by any taxing Authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period and (ii) retain and provide the other Party and its representatives with reasonable access to all records or information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit, examination or proceeding, provided that the foregoing will be done in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Parties.

(i)    Audits. The Buyer shall provide timely notice to the Sellers in writing of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments of the Company for which KAI may have liability under Section 4.7(a). The Sellers shall have the right, at their expense, to represent the Company’s interest in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date insofar as such proceeding relates to Taxes for which the Seller may be liable and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense. The Sellers shall have right to settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any proceeding relating to Taxes of the Company for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date insofar as such proceeding relates to Taxes for which the Seller may be liable. In the case of any Straddle Period, Sellers shall be entitled to participate at its expense in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating (in whole or in part) to Taxes attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and, with the written consent of Buyer, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, and at the Sellers’ sole expense, may assume the entire control of such audit or proceeding. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, none of the Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, the Sellers or the Company may agree to settle any Tax claim for which the other Party may be liable or which may be the subject of indemnification by another Party without the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

with respect to any tax year ending on or before the Closing Date (or with respect to any Straddle Period), (2) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any such year, or (3) waive any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or agree to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each such case without the prior written consent of the Sellers; and (ii) the Sellers shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, file, or cause to be filed, any amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund, with respect to the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, to the extent that any such filing may increase in any material respect the Tax liability of Buyer, any of its Affiliates or the Company for any Tax Period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date.

(l)    Section 338(h)(10) Election. At the Buyer’s option, the Sellers and Buyer shall join in making an election under Code Section 338(h)(10) (and any corresponding elections permitted to be made by the Sellers and Buyer under state, local, or non-U.S. tax Law) (collectively, a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the purchase and sale of the stock of the Company under this Agreement.

(m)    Tax Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the Sellers making a Section 338(h)(10) Election, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers, in cash, the amount of additional consideration necessary to cause the Sellers’ net proceeds after-Tax from the sale of the Company’s stock with the Section 338(h)(10) Election to be equal to the net proceeds after-Tax that Sellers would have received had the Section 338(h)(10) Election not been made, taking into account all appropriate state, federal and local Tax implications (the “Tax Adjustment”) including, for the avoidance of doubt, any costs or expenses incurred by the Sellers or any Affiliate of the Sellers in connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Election, and, provided that, when computing the Tax Adjustment, the highest corporate federal and applicable state tax rates shall be used and any other items of income, deduction, gain, loss, or credits of the Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers shall be ignored (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any federal, state or local net operating losses or net operating loss carryforwards of the Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers). The amount of the Tax Adjustment shall be paid to the Sellers at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (without extensions) for the Sellers to file its federal income Tax Return for its taxable year that includes the Closing Date. The Sellers shall provide the Buyer with a schedule computing the amount of the Tax Adjustment within 20 days after the Parties have agreed to the Allocation Schedule.

(n)    Allocation of the Purchase Price. If the Sellers and Buyer make a Section 338(h)(10) Election, the Parties agree that the purchase price and the liabilities of the Company (plus other relevant items) will be allocated among the assets of the Company for Tax purposes consistent with the methodology set forth on an allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by the Buyer for the review and consent of the Sellers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall be provided to the Sellers on or before October 31, 2015. The Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, the Company and the Sellers shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.

(o)    Non-Avoidance. None of the Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer will take any action with respect to the Company that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to constitute part of a transaction that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the

“Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter” described in Internal Revenue Service Notices 2001-16 and 2008-111.

(b)    Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.5(a) with respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have

the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that in the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense and control of such claim, it shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense; provided, further, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnifying Party, a conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation necessary due to a conflict of interest in providing legal representation to both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim, it being understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any single Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such Third Party Claim prior to the time that it receives a notice from the Indemnifying Party of the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim. The Party that shall control the defense of any such Third Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence and shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim.

(c)    Sellers or Buyer, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents, attorneys, consultants, accountants and other representatives to, cooperate fully with the Controlling Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim.
