The Seller Representative may dispute the Closing Statement or the calculations of the amounts set forth therein by notifying the Buyer in writing (a “Dispute Notice”) of any such disputed amounts or calculations and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute and alternative calculations with respect to the items or amounts with which it disagrees (each, a “Disputed Item”) within forty-five (45) days of the Seller Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement from the Buyer. Any item or amount not objected to in the Dispute Notice (an “Undisputed Item”) shall become final and binding on the parties for purposes of this Agreement, except to the extent that an adjustment to a Disputed Item made in accordance with this Section 3.2 requires an offsetting adjustment to be made to an Undisputed Item.

If, after a period of thirty (30) days following the date on which the Seller Representative delivers the Dispute Notice to Buyer, any such Disputed Item still remains disputed, then the Seller Representative and the Buyer shall submit such dispute to Ernst & Young or such other nationally recognized accounting firm as determined by the Buyer and the Seller Representative (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall, within thirty (30) days after such submission, determine and report to the Buyer and the Seller Representative upon such remaining Disputed Items or calculations, and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Sellers and the Buyer; provided that (x) the Accounting Firm shall only be entitled to resolve those Disputed Items submitted to it for resolution (and any Undisputed Items or Disputed Items previously resolved between the Buyer and the Seller Representative that require an offsetting adjustment to be made in connection with the resolution of such Disputed Items), (y) the Accounting Firm shall make its determination based solely on the presentations and supporting material provided by the Buyer and the Seller Representative and not pursuant to any independent review and (z) in no event shall the Accounting Firm’s determination of such remaining Disputed Items or calculations be for an amount that is greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by the Buyer or the Seller Representative or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by the Buyer or the Seller Representative. The Accounting Firm shall deliver to the Buyer and the Seller Representative, as promptly as practicable and in any event shall endeavor to do so within thirty (30) days after its appointment, a written report (i) setting forth (x) the resolution of each Disputed Item submitted to it and (y) any adjustments that are required to be made to any Undisputed Items or Disputed Items previously resolved between the Buyer and the Seller Representative to reflect such resolution and (ii) containing a revised Closing Statement reflecting the foregoing (the “Accounting Firm Report”). The Closing Statement shall be deemed final upon the earliest of (i) the failure of the Seller Representative to notify the Buyer of a dispute within forty-five (45) days of the Seller Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement from the Buyer, (ii) receipt by the Buyer of a notice from the Seller Representative stating that the Sellers accept the amounts and calculations set forth in the Closing Statement, (iii) the resolution of all Disputed Items pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) by the Seller Representative and the Buyer or (iv) the resolution of all Disputed Items pursuant to the Accounting Firm Report. The Buyer and the Seller Representative shall make reasonably available to the Accounting Firm all relevant books and

- 19 -

records, as well as any documents or work papers used in the calculation of the Closing Statement (including those of the parties’ respective Representatives, to the extent applicable) and supporting documentation relating to such Closing Statement. The decision of the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding and the exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to any disputes arising with respect to the items set forth in the Closing Statement. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to be paid by Buyer, on the one hand, and/or the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the aggregate contested amount, as determined by the Accounting Firm.

(d) Following the resolution of any dispute concerning the Closing Statement in accordance with Section 3.2(c):

(i) if the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then, within two (2) Business Days, (i) the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction directing the Escrow Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow Account to the Seller Representative (for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with the Seller Percentages) an aggregate amount equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount, and (ii) the Buyer shall pay to each Seller such Seller’s Seller Percentage of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Seller Representative.

(ii) if the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then within two (2) Business Days, the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction directing the Escrow Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow Account (i) to the Buyer, the lesser of (A) the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount and (B) the Adjustment Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Buyer; and (ii) if the Adjustment Escrow Amount exceeds the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, to each Seller, such Seller’s Seller Percentage of any remaining amount of the Adjustment Escrow Amount following the payment to Buyer made pursuant to the foregoing clause (i), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Seller Representative. In the event that the Adjustment Escrow Amount is less than the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, then, within two (2) Business Days following the resolution of any dispute concerning the Closing Statement in accordance with Section 3.2(c), each Seller shall pay to the Buyer such Seller’s Seller Percentage of the amount of such shortfall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Buyer.

(b) Non-Competition.

(i) In order to protect the legitimate business interest of the Buyer, Guarantor and its affiliates, including but not limited to RCP Advisors 3, LLC (each, a “P10 Entity” and collectively, the “P10 Entities”), and the good and valuable consideration offered to each Seller, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), each Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, whether as an agent, employee, partner, joint venturer, investor or otherwise, engage in any Competitive Activity (as defined below), or accept any investment capital from or own any interest in (other than through the passive ownership of less than 2% of the outstanding shares of any class of capital stock of a corporation which is publicly traded on a national securities exchange) any Competitive Enterprise anywhere in the world.

(ii) For purposes of this Section 8.8, “Competitive Activity” shall mean the Seller, directly or indirectly, for himself or for any other person, (i) accepting investment capital from any source for purposes of managing such capital in accordance with investment strategies, trading strategies or any other business activities identical or similar to any of those engaged in by a P10 Entity (other than in such Seller’s capacity as an employee of the Company), including but not limited to private equity, buyout, lending, debt, small business investment company or “fund-of-funds” strategies (including the management of “secondary fund-of-funds” investment vehicles or any other investment vehicle or separate account with a substantially similar investment strategy to any of the investment vehicles or separate accounts and strategies set forth in this sentence), (ii) participating in any Competitive Enterprise (defined below); provided that the passive ownership by such Seller of not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding shares of any class of capital stock of a corporation which is publicly traded on a national securities exchange will not be deemed to be a Competitive Activity, so long as such Seller is not otherwise participating in the business of such corporation and/or (iii) directly or indirectly, in any capacity, interfering, or attempting to interfere, with the relationship between a Buyer Investor (defined below) and a P10 Entity.

(iii) “Competitive Enterprise” shall mean any business or entity, regardless of its size or the form of the business or form of the entity conducting such business, that, directly or indirectly, (i) engages in any of the investment strategies, trading strategies or any other business activities identical or similar to any of those engaged in by a P10 Entity, or (ii) owns or controls a significant interest in any entity that engages in any of the investment strategies, trading strategies or any other business activities identical or similar to any of those engaged in by a P10 Entity.

- 51 -

(iv) This Section 8.8 does not, in any way, restrict or impede any Seller from exercising protected rights to the extent that those rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any Applicable Law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation, or order. Each Seller shall promptly provide written notice of any order to the Buyer.

(c) Non-Solicitation of Employees. Each Seller shall not directly or indirectly solicit, hire, recruit, attempt to hire or recruit, or induce the termination of employment of any employee of the P10 Entities during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not prohibit solicitations made by such Seller to the general public or such Seller’s serving as a reference for any such employee upon request.

(d) Non-Solicitation of Buyer Investors. In order to protect the legitimate business interest of the P10 Entities, and the good and valuable consideration offered to each Seller, during the Restricted Period:

(i) Each Seller agrees not to, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, contact and/or solicit any Buyer Investor (other than in such Seller’s capacity as an employee of the Company) for purposes of providing investment management services that utilize any investment or trading strategies that are identical or similar to any investment or trading strategies utilized by a P10 Entity.

(ii) Each Seller agrees not to, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, accept investment capital from any Buyer Investor (other than in such Seller’s capacity as an employee of the Company).

(iii) Each Seller agrees not to, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, interfere, or attempt to interfere, with the relationship between any Buyer Investor and a P10 Entity.

(iv) “Buyer Investor” means any person or entity that is invested in any fund or any other pooled investment vehicle, separate account or other financial product sponsored or managed by a P10 Entity, or an advisory client of a P10 Entity, during the Restricted Period.

(e) Nothing in this Section 8.8 shall prohibit (a) any Seller from purchasing publicly traded securities of any corporation, provided that this ownership represents a passive investment and that such Seller is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, the corporation; (b) any Seller’s passive investment as a limited partner or similar capacity in a private equity fund or other investment vehicle or other business enterprise managed by another person or entity; or (c) any Seller from investing for the account of himself and his family members.

- 52 -

(f) Modification. If at the time of enforcement of the provisions of this Section 8.8, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by Applicable Laws.

(g) Tolling of Restrictive Period. The running of the Restricted Period with respect to any Seller shall be tolled during the period of any breach by such Seller of any of the Restrictive Covenants.

(h) Reasonableness of Restrictions. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that he derived (and/or will derive) substantial economic benefit in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that the scope of activity, periods of time and the geographic area applicable to the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable.

(i) Remedies. Without intending to limit the remedies available to the Buyer, the Buyer Group and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates, each Seller acknowledges that a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants may result in material irreparable injury to the Buyer, the Buyer Group or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Buyer, the Buyer Group or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach, restraining such Seller from engaging in activities prohibited by this Section 8.8 or such other relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the Restrictive Covenants.

8.9. Termination of Certain Employees. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall terminate the employment of the individuals set forth on Schedule 8.9.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all consents and approvals of Governmental Entities and third parties legally required to be obtained by it to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any consents and approvals set forth on Exhibit K and Schedule 5.4.

(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable consistent with Applicable Law to (i) consummate and make effective in the most expeditious manner practicable the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) comply with its obligations hereunder.

- 54 -

9.3. Employee Matters.

(a) During the period beginning on the Closing and ending on the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer (or any member of the Buyer Group) shall provide employees of the Company (other than the Sellers), who remain employed by the Buyer (or any member of the Buyer Group) following the Closing (each, a “Continuing Employee”) (i) with base salaries or wages and annual cash incentive opportunities that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the base salaries or wages and annual cash incentive opportunities, provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) with employee benefits (including severance and excluding equity arrangements, phantom equity arrangements, retiree health and welfare benefits and defined benefit pension plans) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to such benefits provided to such Continuing Employees under the applicable Plans immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, terminate or materially modify the Company’s bonus plan for 2019, and the Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, pay on or prior to December 31, 2019 all amounts earned under the Company’s bonus plan for 2019 in accordance therewith and in the mediums prescribed in the applicable offer letters delivered to Continuing Employees, upon attainment of the applicable performance measures (which shall not be materially modified by the Buyer) and subject to the terms of the Company’s bonus plan for 2019. For purposes of determining (i) eligibility to participate, (ii) level of benefits and vesting, and (iii) benefit accruals under any severance or paid time off policies or plans, in each case, under any “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or any other benefit plan or arrangement maintained by the Buyer Group in which any Continuing Employee is eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date (including any vacation, sick pay and severance program), each Continuing Employee’s service with the Company (as well as service with any predecessor employer) prior to the Closing Date shall be treated as service with the Buyer Group as of the Closing Date to the same extent that such service was recognized prior to the Closing Date under a comparable Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that it would result in any duplication of analogous benefits for the same period of service or the crediting of service under a newly established plan of the Buyer Group for which prior service is not taken into account for similarly situated employees of the Buyer Group generally. From and after the Closing, the Buyer shall continue to honor, pay, perform and satisfy any and all liabilities, obligations and responsibilities to, or in respect of, each Continuing Employee, and each employee, officer, director, or consultant of the Company (whether current, former or retired) or their dependents, spouses, or beneficiaries, arising under the terms of, or in connection with, any Plan in accordance with the terms thereof. Following the Closing, none of the Company, Buyer or any other member of the Buyer Group shall be required to make any payment to or on behalf of any Seller or GP Entity in respect of any capital commitment, capital contribution, return obligation (including in respect of capital contributions or “clawback” of carried interest) or other payment owed by such Seller to any GP Entity or FP Fund. Following the Closing, the Company or the Buyer (or any member of the Buyer Group) shall be responsible for any contributions required to be made by any Continuing Employee (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any Seller) to any GP Entity in existence on the Closing Date, to be funded in such a manner as determined by the Company, the

- 55 -

Buyer or such member of the Buyer Group, including by way of any management fee offset permitted under the limited partnership agreement or limited liability company (or equivalent) of any FP Fund. With respect to any group health plan maintained by the Buyer Group in which any Continuing Employee is eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date, Buyer shall (or shall cause the Buyer Group to) use commercially reasonable efforts to waive preexisting conditions, limitations, exclusions, evidence of insurability, required physical exams, actively-at-work requirements, waiting periods and similar limitations and requirements with respect to participation by and coverage of such Continuing Employee (and his or her eligible dependents). This Section 9.3(a) shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 9.3(a), express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 9.3(a). Nothing contained herein, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any employee of the Company any right to continued employment for any period or continued receipt of any specific employee benefit, shall constitute an amendment to or any other modification of any Plan, or create any right to compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

(b) To the fullest extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, from and after the Closing, all rights to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of any individual under the organizational documents of the Company who, at the Closing, is entitled to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses thereunder (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) with respect to their activities as such prior to the Closing, as provided in the operating agreements, organizational documents, indemnification agreements or other contracts of the Company as in effect on the date hereof (the “Indemnity Arrangements”), shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Closing Date; provided that, in the event any claim or claims are asserted or made within such survival period, all such rights to indemnification in respect of any claim or claims shall continue until final disposition of such claim or claims. The Indemnity Arrangements shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Person to whom this Section 9.3 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Person.

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company as of the Closing to obtain and fully pay for a non-cancellable “tail” insurance policy with a claims period of at least six (6) years from and after the Closing from insurance carriers with the same or better claims-paying ability ratings as the Company’s current insurance carriers with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies and fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage (including as coverage relates to deductibles and exclusions) at least as favorable as the Company’s existing D&O Insurance with respect to matters arising out of or relating to acts or omissions existing or occurring (or alleged to have occurred or existed) at or prior to the Closing (including in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby or thereby). The Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, cancel or modify the D&O Insurance. In the event that, after the Closing Date, the Company or the Buyer or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or mergers into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or a substantial portion of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company or the Buyer, as the case may be,

- 56 -

shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 9.3. The provisions of Sections 9.3(b) and (c) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Person, his or her heirs, executors or administrators and his or her other representatives. The provisions of this Section 9.3(c) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

9.4. Capital Contributions and Carried Interest; Fund Administration. Following the Closing, the Buyer shall not be entitled to receive any equity interests or Carried Interest in respect of any FP Fund in existence as of the date hereof, any GP Entity in existence as of the date hereof or any other entity set forth on Schedule 9.4. Buyer shall cause the Company to continue administering the FP Funds in compliance with their governing agreements and Applicable Law.

9.5. R&W Policy. Buyer and its Affiliates shall cause the R&W Policy to be bound effective as of the Closing. The Buyer shall timely pay all premiums and other amounts required to cause the R&W Policy to become effective in accordance with its terms. The Buyer will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, amend, waive or otherwise modify the R&W Policy in any manner that is adverse to the Sellers without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative. The R&W Policy shall provide that the R&W Insurer shall have no subrogation right, entitlement of privilege, or any recourse whatsoever, against the Sellers or their Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement, the R&W Policy, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, or otherwise, except against a Seller in the case of a matter arising directly from such Seller’s actual Fraud.Following the Closing, the Buyer shall not modify or amend the R&W Policy’s subrogation or third-party beneficiary provisions benefitting the Sellers or their Affiliates in any manner without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative.

9.6. Release.

(a) As of the Closing, each Seller, on behalf of himself and his Affiliates (as applicable, “Seller Releasing Person”), hereby releases and forever discharges the Company, the Buyer, their respective Affiliates, and the respective Representatives of each of the foregoing (each, solely in their capacity as such, a “Seller Released Person”) from all debts, demands, Actions, covenants, torts, damages and all defenses, offsets, judgments and liabilities whatsoever, of every name and nature, both at Law and in equity, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, that have been or could have been asserted against any Seller Released Person, which any Seller Releasing Person has or ever had, that arises out of or in any way relates to events, circumstances or actions occurring, existing or taken prior to or as of the Closing Date in respect of matters directly or indirectly relating to the Company (individually a “Seller Released Claim” and collectively the “Seller Released Claims”); provided, however, that nothing contained herein will operate to release, and the term Seller Released Claims shall not include (A) any obligations of the Company to any employee with respect to accrued and unpaid salary, paid time off, expense reimbursement or employee benefits arising, in each case, in the ordinary course; (B) any obligation of the Company or the Buyer arising under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (C) any indemnification obligations of the Company to any Seller Releasing Person under the Organizational Documents, or (D) any obligations of the Company to any Seller Releasing Person in respect of any capital contributions made by a Seller Releasing Person or accrued but unpaid Carried Interest due to any Seller Releasing Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no GP Entity or FP Fund shall be deemed a Seller Releasing Person.

- 57 -

(b) Each Seller Releasing Person:

(i) expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits that such Seller Releasing Person may have under Applicable Law, including any state law or any common law principles limiting waivers of unknown claims,

(ii) understands that the facts and circumstances under which such Seller Releasing Person gives this full and complete release and discharge of the Seller Released Persons may hereafter prove to be different than now known or believed to be true by such Seller Releasing Person; and

(iii) accepts and assumes the risk thereof and agrees that such Seller Releasing Persons’ full and complete release and discharge of the Seller Released Persons with respect to the matters described in this Section 9.6 shall remain effective in all respects and not be subject to termination, rescission or modification by reason of any such difference in facts and circumstances.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.6 does not limit the provisions of Section 10, Section 11 or Section 14 or the rights of any Indemnified Party thereunder or any representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation expressly set forth in this Agreement.

9.7. Post-Closing Plan Payments. If and to the extent any amounts accrued in respect of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 under the Company Pension Plan or the Company Profit Sharing Plans were specifically taken into account as Indebtedness in the calculation of the Final Closing Amount, the Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, contribute such amounts (i) under the Company Pension Plan on or before March 27, 2020, and (ii) under the Company Profit Sharing Plans on or before April 15, 2020, in each case in accordance with the terms of each such plan.

SECTION 10

TAXES.

10.1. Transfer Taxes. All sales, transfer, use, documentary, stamp, gross receipts, registration, controlling interest, transfer, conveyance, excise, recording, license and other similar Taxes and fees together with any interest and penalties thereon (“Transfer Taxes”) imposed as a result of the sale of the Company Shares to the Buyer shall be borne 50% by the Sellers and 50% by the Buyer, provided, however that if any party executes this Agreement or any other document pursuant to which the Company Shares are transferred or which contains an agreement to transfer the Company Shares (together, the “Transaction Documents”) in the United Kingdom or, in the case of Transaction Documents which are executed outside the United Kingdom, if any party fails to use best efforts to retain the original executed Transaction Documents outside the United Kingdom, such party shall bear 100% of any Transfer Taxes, including without limitation penalties, which result from such party executing such Transaction Document in the United Kingdom or failing to use best efforts to retain the original executed Transaction Documents outside the United Kingdom. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the party obligated by Applicable

- 58 -

Law to pay and remit any Transfer Taxes shall timely remit to the relevant Taxing Authority all such amounts owed and the other party shall promptly reimburse the paying party for the portion (if any) of such Transfer Taxes for which it is obligated under the first sentence of this Section 10.1. The parties shall use reasonable efforts in cooperating to minimize the incidence of any Transfer Taxes. The party who is obligated by Applicable Law to file any Tax Return relating to Transfer Taxes shall prepare and file such Tax Return and provide the other party opportunity for review and comment.

10.2. Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns. The Seller Representative shall prepare and timely file (taking into account extensions), or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns of the Company (i) that are required to be filed prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) that are income Tax Returns for a Tax period that begins prior to and ends prior to the Closing Date (including, for avoidance of doubt, the final IRS Form 1120-S of the Company), and shall promptly pay (or cause to be paid) all Taxes that are reflected on such Tax Returns. The Buyer shall prepare and timely file all other Tax Returns of the Company that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing deadline (or, with respect to any such Tax Returns (if any) that are due within twenty (20) days of the Closing Date, as soon as reasonably practicable prior to the filing deadline), the Buyer (i) shall provide the Seller Representative with a copy of any such Tax Return and (ii) shall reflect any reasonable comments made by the Seller Representative with respect to the preparation of such Tax Return. The Sellers shall be responsible for (1) all Taxes that are shown as due on any such Tax Return filed by the Buyer relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and (2) for the pre-Closing portion of any Taxes that are shown as due on any such Tax Return for a Straddle Period (as determined in accordance with Section 10.3). No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of any such Tax Return, the Sellers’ Representative shall pay to the Buyer, on behalf of the Sellers, the amount of Taxes that are the Sellers’ responsibility with respect to such Tax Return under the prior sentence, to the extent such Taxes were not accrued as a liability in Final Net Working Capital.

(b) Tax Proceedings. The Buyer and the Seller Representative shall promptly notify each other upon receiving notice of any pending or threatened Tax proceeding that could result in Tax liability for the Company with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period. The Seller Representative shall control any Tax proceeding with respect to the Company that relates solely to any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer shall control all other Tax proceedings with respect to the Company. The Seller Representative shall consult with the Buyer regarding any Tax proceeding with respect to the Company that the Seller Representative controls and that could result in Tax liability for the Company, provide the Buyer with information and documents related thereto, permit the Buyer or its representative to attend and participate in any such Tax proceeding, and not settle any such Tax proceeding without the consent of the Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Buyer shall consult with the Seller Representative regarding any other Tax proceeding with respect to the Company that the Buyer controls and that could result in Tax liability for the Company in respect of which the Sellers may become obligated to make any indemnity payment pursuant to Section 11, provide the Seller Representative with information and documents related thereto, permit the Seller Representative to attend and participate in any such Tax proceeding, and,

- 59 -

solely with respect to a tax proceeding that would give rise to Tax liability for the Company for a period after the Closing Date, not settle any such Tax proceeding without the consent of the Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The provisions of this Section 10.2(b) shall apply notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 11.6, 11.8 or 11.9.

(c) Allocation of Tax Liability.

(i) If the liability for Taxes for a Straddle Period is based upon income, gross receipts (such as sales Taxes) or specific transactions involving Taxes other than Taxes based upon income or gross receipts, the amount of Taxes attributable to the pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period shall be an amount of Taxes determined by closing the books of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(ii) If the liability for Taxes for a Straddle Period is determined on a basis other than income, gross receipts or specific transactions, the amount of Taxes attributable to the pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes for the Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period prior to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period.

(d) Tax Treatment of Acquisition.

(i) The parties agree that, as a result of the occurrence of the Closing, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the final taxable year of the Company as an “S corporation” (within the meaning of Section 1361(a)(1) of the Code) will end as of the end of the day prior to the Closing Date, and a new, short taxable period of the Company (as a subchapter C corporation) will begin as of the beginning of the Closing Date.

(ii) The parties agree that the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute (i) with respect to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Units to Sellers in exchange for a portion of the Company Shares, a tax-deferred contribution of property to a partnership within the meaning of Section 721(a) of the Code, and (ii) with respect to the payment of the Base Consideration to Sellers in exchange for the remainder of the Company Shares, a taxable sale for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(iii) The parties hereto shall report, act and file their Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the foregoing treatment and no party shall take any position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.3(d).

SECTION 11

11.1. Survival. The parties hereto agree that (i) the Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, (ii) the representations and warranties in Section 5.9 shall survive the Closing until sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable statute of limitations, (iii) each other representation and warranty set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing

- 60 -

Date, (iv) the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement which expressly contemplate performance after the Closing shall survive the Closing for the period contemplated by their respective terms, and (v) all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (other than the covenants described in clause (iv)) shall terminate effective as of the Closing (or upon the earlier termination of this Agreement). No assertion of entitlement to indemnification, claim, lawsuit, or other proceeding arising out of or related to the breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement may be made by any Indemnified Party (as defined below), unless notice of such assertion, claim, lawsuit or other proceeding is given to the Indemnifying Party (as defined below) in accordance with Section 11.6 prior to the end of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 11.1.

11.2. Indemnification from the Indemnity Escrow Account and the R&W Policy. Subject to the applicable limitations set forth in this Section 11, from and after the Closing Date, the Buyer, the Buyer Group, and their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers, members, managers, agents and employees (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), shall be indemnified and held harmless from, against and in respect of any Losses suffered or incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of or resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in Section 5 of this Agreement or of the Sellers contained in Sections 6.2, 6.3 or 6.5 of this Agreement, solely through the payment of funds from the Indemnity Escrow Account (and only to the extent that funds from the Indemnity Escrow Account are available to pay for such Losses) and the R&W Policy.

11.3. Indemnification by the Sellers.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified and held harmless by each of the Sellers, individually for itself, from, against and in respect of any Losses suffered or incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any breach of any Seller Fundamental Representation made by such Seller; and

(ii) any failure of such Seller to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement which expressly contemplates performance by such Seller after the Closing.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Sellers (on a joint and several basis) from, against and in respect of any Indemnified Taxes.

11.4. Indemnification by the Buyer. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11, the Sellers shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Buyer (in accordance with each Seller’s Seller Percentage) from, against and in respect of any Losses suffered or incurred by the Sellers arising out of or resulting from:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Buyer contained in this Agreement; and

- 61 -

(b) any failure of the Buyer or the Company to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement which expressly contemplates performance by the Buyer or the Company after the Closing.

11.5. Limitations and Other Terms. The rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11 are subject to the following limitations:

(a) No individual claim by any Buyer Indemnified Party for any Losses pursuant to Section 11.2 may be asserted unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses that would be payable pursuant to such claim exceeds an amount equal to $10,000 (which Losses will not be counted toward the Deductible).

(b) The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification for any Losses pursuant to Section 11.2 until the aggregate amount of the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ Losses under Section 11.2 exceeds $705,000 (the “Deductible”), after which the Buyer Indemnified Parties may seek indemnification for any Losses from the first dollar thereof, up to the Indemnity Escrow Amount.

(c) The cumulative indemnification obligations of each Seller under Section 11.3 shall in no event exceed the sum of the aggregate consideration received by such Seller under this Agreement.

(d) Subject to the applicable limitations set forth in this Section 11, in the event that any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification for any Losses pursuant to Section 11.2, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall be required to seek recovery (i) first, through payment from the Indemnity Escrow Account, until the earlier of (x) eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Expiration Date”) or (y) the date when the funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account are reduced to zero, and (ii) second, through recovery from the R&W Policy (after the retention thereunder has been exhausted). The Indemnity Escrow Account and the R&W Policy shall be the sole and exclusive source of recovery of the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising from or relating to any breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5, 6.2, 6.3, and 6.5 and in no event may a Buyer Indemnified Party recover any Losses under Section 11.2 from any Seller (or any other Person).

(e) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided for under this Section 11 shall be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds or other amounts actually received by the applicable Indemnified Party from third parties with respect to such Losses, net of any deductible or any other expense incurred by the Indemnified Parties in obtaining such recovery and (ii) all indemnity, contribution and similar payments received or reasonably expected to be received by the Indemnified Party (or its parent or any of its Subsidiaries) in respect of any such claim. The Indemnified Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies and indemnity, contribution and similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement. If the Indemnified Party (or its parent or any of its Subsidiaries) receives any such payment after it has already received an indemnification payment on account of its claim, then it shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for the amount of

- 62 -

such payment to the extent that such amount was not already deducted from the indemnification payment made by the Indemnifying Party or from the Indemnity Escrow Account, or, prior to the Escrow Expiration Date, return such amount to the Indemnity Escrow Account. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation to the provisions of Section 11.2, 11.3 or 11.4, an Indemnified Party will not have any indemnity, contribution or similar rights against any Related Party.

(f) In no event will any Buyer Indemnified Party be entitled to recover any punitive damages (except to the extent payable as a result of a Third-Party Claim).

(g) In no event will any Buyer Indemnified Party be entitled to recover any Losses to the extent such Losses are included in the calculation of the Final Closing Amount.

(h) For purposes of this Section 11, any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (as well as any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement) (other than the representations and warranties set forth in the first sentence of Section 5.14 and Section 5.18(a)), as well as the amount of any Losses resulting from any such breach or inaccuracy, shall be determined without giving effect to any limitations or qualifications regarding materiality, the use of the word “material”, “material respects”, or “Material Adverse Effect”, or any similar term, qualification or limitation based on materiality contained herein.

11.6. Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) If a party entitled to indemnification under this Section 11 (an “Indemnified Party”) asserts that it has suffered or incurred a Loss for which it is entitled to indemnification from the Indemnity Escrow Account pursuant to Section 11.2 or that a party obligated to indemnify it has become obligated to such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.3 or 11.4, or if any suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding is begun, made or instituted as a result of which the Indemnified Party may become entitled to indemnification from the Indemnity Escrow Account pursuant to Section 11.2 or a party obligated to indemnify it has become obligated to an Indemnified Party under Section 11.3 or 11.4, such Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to (i) in the case of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2, the Seller Representative, (ii) in the case of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.3, the applicable Seller against whom such claim is asserted, and (iii) in the case of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.4, the Buyer (each such person, an “Indemnifying Party”). No delay in delivering such written notice to the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder or prevent the Indemnifying Party from recovering in respect of any claim for indemnification pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 11 unless, and then solely to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Indemnified Party will describe the claim giving rise to an obligation of indemnification in reasonable detail and will indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five (5) Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to such claim. Within 30 days after delivery of a notice pursuant to this Section 11.6 (the “Response Period”), the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response to such notice. If, during the Response Period, the

- 63 -

Indemnifying Party delivers a written notice disputing the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification of the Losses described in such notice, the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to settle such disputed matters within 30 days following the expiration of the Response Period. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Federal Rules of Evidence Rule 408 shall apply to the parties hereto during any such negotiations and any subsequent dispute arising therefrom. If the parties are unable to reach agreement within such 30-day period, the dispute may be resolved by any legally available means consistent with the provisions of Section 15.2.

(b) This Section 11.6(b) shall apply to any suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding asserted by a third party against an Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”). The parties hereto shall cooperate and provide reasonable assistance in the defense or prosecution thereof. The Indemnified Party may not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No Indemnified Party nor any of its Affiliates will admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) To the extent of any conflict between Section 10.2(b) and this Section 11.6, Section 10.2(b) shall govern.

11.7. [Intentionally Omitted].

11.8. Exclusive Remedy. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of Section 11 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto for any claim (regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed (whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise)) that any party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with, or otherwise under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement (including in any certificates delivered hereunder) by any party, or any failure by any party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement that, by its terms, was to have been performed, or complied with, under this Agreement, except (a) as provided in Section 3.2, (b) as provided in Section 15.16 or (c) in the event of a claim against a Person for such Person’s Fraud. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any law, except pursuant to Section 3.2, this Section 11, Section 15.16 or in the event of a claim against a Person for such Person’s Fraud. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Seller shall have any liability pursuant to or arising from this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements in an aggregate

- 64 -

amount in excess of the aggregate consideration received by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement. The Sellers shall have no liability in addition to what has been provided under Section 11.3, and the limitations of liability under this Section 11 shall not be limited, restricted or affected in any manner on the basis that: (a) the R&W Policy is not in force on the Closing Date for any reason; (b) the R&W Policy is terminated or cancelled or becomes null and of no effect at any time after the Closing Date for any reason; or (c) the R&W Policy provider refuses, omits, is unable to or delays to make any payment under the R&W Policy for any reason, whether or not the R&W Policy provider is in default or not under the R&W Policy.

11.9. Indemnification Payments; Escrow Release.

(a) Within three (3) calendar days after the final determination of any amounts owing under Section 11.2, the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Buyer any such amounts due and owing under Section 11.2, up to the amount then-remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account. Any amounts owing under Section 11.3 shall be paid by the applicable Seller to the Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three (3) calendar days after the final determination thereof. Any amounts owing under Section 11.4 shall be paid by the Buyer to the applicable Seller, as directed by the Seller Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three (3) calendar days after the final determination thereof.

(b) On the Escrow Expiration Date, the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to, or as directed by, the Seller Representative, for the benefit of the Sellers such amount, if any, then-remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account less an amount equal to the aggregate dollar amount of claims for Losses made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in good faith through the Escrow Expiration Date pursuant to this Section 11 that are then outstanding and unresolved (such amount of the retained Indemnity Escrow Amount, as it may be further reduced after the Escrow Expiration Date by distributions to, or for the benefit of, the Sellers as set forth below and recoveries by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 11, the “Retained Indemnity Escrow Amount”). Such amount shall be allocated among and paid to the Sellers in accordance with the Seller Percentages.

(c) If and to the extent that after the Escrow Expiration Date, any claim for Losses is resolved for any amount less than what was retained for such claim at the Escrow Expiration Date, then Buyer and the Seller Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to, or as directed by, the Seller Representative, for the benefit of the Sellers (in accordance with the Seller Percentages), an aggregate amount of the Retained Indemnity Escrow Amount equal to such difference; provided that such distribution shall only be made to the extent that the Retained Indemnity Escrow Amount remaining after such distribution would be sufficient to cover the aggregate amount of all unresolved claims for Losses timely made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in accordance with Section 11.6. If and to the extent that, after the Escrow Expiration Date, any outstanding claim timely made by any Buyer Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 11.6 for a Loss is resolved in favor of such Buyer Indemnified Party, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover an amount from the Retained Indemnity Escrow Amount equal to the amount of such outstanding claim resolved in favor of such Buyer Indemnified Party.

- 65 -

11.10. Purchase Price Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any payments pursuant to this Section 11 shall be treated as an adjustment to the consideration paid to the Sellers hereunder for the purchase of Company Shares.

11.11. Post-Closing Termination of Certain Employee(s). In the event that the Company terminates the individual set forth on Schedule 11.11 prior to the six (6)-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Sellers (on a joint and several basis) shall indemnify the Company for any severance, termination or similar amounts payable to such individual, pursuant to any plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement in place prior to the Closing Date, including the employer portion of any employment or payroll Taxes payable in connection therewith.

11.12. Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligation and not as a surety, to the Sellers the payment and performance of the obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement (in each case, subject to all limitations, qualifications, terms and conditions of the Buyer’s obligations set forth herein), including, for the avoidance of doubt, any obligations of the Buyer under Section 11.4 of this Agreement. This guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collectability, irrespective of the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any other document or instrument contemplated hereby. The Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance, notice of any obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of the Guarantor, any of its Affiliates or any other entity or other Person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the guaranteed obligations, and all suretyship defenses generally. If any payment in respect of any of the guaranteed obligations is rescinded after receipt by the Sellers, the guaranty hereunder shall be automatically reinstated as if no such payment had ever been made. The Guarantor agrees that the Sellers shall not be required to prosecute collection, enforcement or other remedies against the Guarantor or to enforce or resort to any rights or remedies pertaining thereto, before calling on the Guarantor for payment or performance. The Guarantor hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of the obligations of the Guarantor set forth in this Agreement and notice of or proof of reliance by the Sellers upon this Section 11.12 or acceptance of this Section 11.12. The guaranty provided by the Guarantor pursuant to this Section 11.12 is an unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collection and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that the Buyer or any other Person first attempt to collect any amounts from any Seller or resort to any security or other means of collecting payments required to be made by the Sellers hereunder. The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Section 11.12 are made knowingly in contemplation of such benefits. The Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) it has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, and (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not contravene any law to which the Guarantor is subject or result in any breach of any Contract to which the Guarantor is a party, other than such contravention or breach that would not be material to the Guarantor or limit its ability to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

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

(b) by the Buyer if any Seller or the Company has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, which breach would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 13, and which breach cannot be cured by such Seller or the Company, as the case may be, or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (i) two (2) Business Days prior to the Outside Date and (ii) the date that is 30 calendar days after receipt by the Seller Representative of notice in writing from the Buyer

- 69 -

specifying the nature of such breach and requesting that it be cured (provided, that the Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.1(b) if the Buyer is then in breach of the terms of this Agreement which breach would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 12);

(c) by the Seller Representative if the Buyer has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, which breach would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 12, and which breach cannot be cured by the Buyer, or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (i) two (2) Business Days prior to the Outside Date and (ii) the date that is 30 calendar days after receipt by the Buyer of notice in writing from the Seller Representative specifying the nature of such breach and requesting that it be cured (provided, that the Seller Representative shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.1(c) if any Seller or the Company is then in breach of the terms of this Agreement which breach would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 13);

(d) by the Seller Representative or the Buyer if (i) there shall be a final, non-appealable order of a federal or state court in effect permanently preventing consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; or (ii) there shall be any final, non-appealable action taken, or any judgement, decree, statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued and deemed applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby by any Governmental Entity that would make consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal; or

(e) by the Seller Representative or the Buyer if the Closing shall not have been consummated by May 31, 2020 (the “Outside Date”), provided that if the Closing has not occurred as of the Outside Date solely because the consent of the SBA has not been obtained as of such date, then the Outside Date shall be automatically extended for an additional period of sixty (60) days, provided further that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 14.1 (e) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any material covenant under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date.

14.2. Effect of Termination.

Capitalized terms used in the Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the Schedules or Exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no party will use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement or the Schedules or Exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in this Agreement or in any Schedule or Exhibit is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.

- 76 -

15.15. Non-Recourse. Subject in all cases to the provisions of Section 11:

(a) This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements may only be enforced against, and any claim or suit based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, may only be brought against the named parties to this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreements and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein and therein with respect to the named parties to this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreements (in all cases, as limited by the provisions of Section 11).

15.16. Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached or threatened to be breached and that an award of money damages would be inadequate in such event. Accordingly, it is acknowledged and agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, without proof of actual damages, including an injunction or injunctions or orders for specific performance to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach.

(c) The parties hereto, for themselves and their respective Affiliates (including, as applicable, the Company), further agree that, as to all communications between or among Proskauer Rose LLP, the Sellers, the Seller Representative, and/or the Company that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence and all other rights to any evidentiary privilege belong to the Seller Representative and may be controlled by the Seller Representative and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Buyer or the Company.
