Section 2.6. Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and cause to be delivered to Seller a statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, Buyer’s good faith calculation of (i) the final Net Working Capital (the “Final NWC”) and the final NWC Adjustment based on the Final NWC (the “Final NWC Adjustment ”), (ii) the final Closing Cash (the “Final Closing Cash”), (iii) the final Closing Indebtedness (the “Final Closing Indebtedness ”), (iv) the amount and calculation of the Final Closing Payment, and (v) the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Payment so determined is greater than or less than the Estimated Closing Payment (such positive or negative amount, the “Post-Closing Adjustment Amount”).

(b) The Final Closing Statement shall be prepared, and the Final NWC, the Final NWC Adjustment, the Final Closing Cash, and the Final Closing Indebtedness (collectively, the “Final Calculations”) shall be calculated, in accordance with the Accounting Principles and/or the definitions thereof, as applicable.

(c) Upon receipt of the Final Closing Statement, Seller and its accountants shall be permitted during the succeeding sixty (60) day period (the “Review Period”) reasonable access during business hours to the relevant personnel and Representatives of Buyer, and any relevant documents, schedules or workpapers used by them in the preparation of the Final Calculations. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Buyer and the Group Companies shall not be obligated to take any action that would violate any Law or the terms of any Contract or confidentiality obligation to which Buyer or any Group Company is a party, or result in a waiver of the attorney-client privilege or work-product doctrine; provided, however, that the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements under circumstances in which the foregoing restrictions apply.

(d) If Seller disagrees with any of the Final Calculations, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such disagreement, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the item or items of the Final Calculations to which such disagreement relates and the basis for each such disagreement (the “Objection Notice”). If Seller fails to deliver the Objection Notice (or fails to object in the Objection Notice to any items or amounts included in the Final Calculations) within the Review Period, the Final Calculations as determined by Buyer (or such items and

amounts included in the Final Calculations to which Seller has not objected in a timely delivered Objection Notice) shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller and shall be final and binding and used in computing the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. If Seller delivers the Objection Notice within the Review Period, subject to Section 2.6(e) below, then (i) the Final Closing Statement, as prepared and delivered by Buyer, shall not be binding on any party hereto, (ii) Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such items and amounts as are disputed in the Objection Notice, and (iii) any resolution agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.

(e) If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any disagreement as contemplated by Section 2.6(d) within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Objection Notice, then Buyer and Seller shall engage the dispute resolution group of a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm or financial consulting firm mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller, other than any such firm that currently provides services to Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (the “Independent Auditor”), who shall, acting as experts and not as arbitrators, resolve the dispute set forth in the Objection Notice. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be borne by the parties in proportion to the relative amount each party’s determination has been modified. For example, if Seller challenges the calculation of the Final Closing Payment by an amount of $100,000, but the Independent Auditor determines that Seller has a valid claim for only $40,000, Buyer shall bear 40% of the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor and Seller shall bear the other 60% of such fees and expenses.

(f) The parties shall instruct the Independent Auditor to consider only those items and amounts which are identified in the Objection Notice as being items which Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve. Further, the Independent Auditor’s determination shall be based solely on the relevant work papers and books and records relating to the Group Companies and any other written information provided by Buyer and Seller to the extent related to Buyer’s or Seller’s calculation of the amounts in dispute, which are in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review), and the Independent Auditor shall not conduct additional discovery in any form. The Independent Auditor’s determination of each disputed item shall be within the range for such item proposed by Buyer and Seller in the Final Closing Statement and the Objection Notice.

(g) The parties shall jointly instruct the Independent Auditor to make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after its engagement (i) whether the Final Closing Statement and the Final Calculations were prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or, alternatively, and (ii) only with respect to the disputed items identified in the Objection Notice, the Independent Auditor’s final determination of such items and a written explanation in reasonable detail of each such required adjustment, including the basis therefor. All negotiations pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable state rules of evidence, and all negotiations and submissions to the Independent Auditor shall be treated as confidential information. The Independent Auditor shall be bound by a mutually agreeable confidentiality agreement. The procedures of this Section 2.6 are exclusive and, except as set forth below, the determinations of the Independent Auditor shall be final and binding on the parties. The decision of the Independent Auditor rendered pursuant to this Section 2.6(f) may be filed as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may seek specific enforcement or take other necessary legal action to enforce any decision under this Section 2.6(f). The other party’s only defense to such a request for specific enforcement or other legal action shall be fraud by or upon the Independent Auditor. Absent such fraud, such other party shall reimburse the party seeking enforcement for its expenses related to such enforcement.

(h) If the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6, is negative, then Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to (i) release to Buyer from the Adjustment Escrow Fund an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount and (ii) release to Seller any remaining portion of the Adjustment Escrow Fund. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Adjustment Escrow Fund is the only source of recovery against Seller for any negative Post-Closing Adjustment Amount.

(i) If the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6, is positive, then (i) Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) an aggregate amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount to Seller and (ii) Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release the entire Adjustment Escrow Fund to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Buyer be liable to Seller for any positive Post-Closing Adjustment Amount in excess of $10,000,000.

(j) The Post-Closing Adjustment Amount process set forth in this Section 2.6 shall be the exclusive remedy of Seller and Buyer for any disputes related to the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount.

(k) Once the final Aggregate Consideration is determined in accordance with Section 2.3 and this Section 2.6 (and after giving effect to any adjustments thereto resulting from any indemnification payments hereunder), then, for all purposes under this Agreement, references herein to the “Aggregate Consideration” shall mean and refer to the Aggregate Consideration, as so determined and adjusted.

Section 2.7. Withholding. Buyer (and its agents) and the Company, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as Buyer or the Company, as applicable, determine in good faith are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any other applicable Law relating to Taxes. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

Section 6.2. Access and Information.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, afford Buyer or its Representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours to the Group Companies’ executive personnel listed on Section 6.2(a) of the Disclosure Schedule and to the Group Companies’ properties, Contracts, books and records, and other documents and data; provided, however, that (i) any such access shall be conducted at Buyer’s expense, under the reasonable supervision of Company personnel and in such a manner as to maintain the confidentiality of such information and not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of the business of the Group Companies, (ii) neither Buyer nor any of Buyer’s Representatives shall contact, directly or indirectly, except in the ordinary course of Buyer’s business, any employee, customer or supplier of a Group Company without the Company’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in the Company’s reasonable discretion and (iii) no Group Company shall have any obligation to disclose any information to Buyer to the extent such disclosure would (A) result in a material breach of any agreement to which any Group Company is a party or is otherwise bound, (B) reasonably be expected to jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege of any Group Company, or (C) result in a violation of any Laws or fiduciary duties applicable to any Group Company; provided, further, that the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements under circumstances in which the foregoing restrictions set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above apply. The information delivered to Buyer or its authorized representatives pursuant to this Agreement, including this Section 6.2(a), shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) Buyer shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to properly retain and maintain the Tax and accounting records of the Group Companies that relate to Pre-Closing Periods or Straddle Periods for a period of six (6) years after Closing, to the extent that such records are in the Group Companies’ possession as of Closing, and shall thereafter provide Seller with written notice prior to any destruction, abandonment or disposition of all or any portions of such records, (ii) transfer such records to Seller upon its written request prior to any such destruction, abandonment or disposition and (iii) afford Seller and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records, information, employees and auditors of the Group Companies, to the extent requested by Seller and necessary or useful in connection with any audit, investigation, dispute or Legal Proceeding; provided, however, that, with regard to (ii), Seller agrees to reimburse Buyer promptly for all reasonable and

documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such activities. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Buyer and the Group Companies shall not be obligated to take any action that would violate any Law or the terms of any Contract or confidentiality obligation to which Buyer or any Group Company is a party, or result in a waiver of the attorney-client privilege or work-product doctrine; provided, further, that the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements under circumstances in which the foregoing restrictions apply.

Section 6.3. Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, at Buyer’s expense, all Tax Returns of the Group Companies for all Pre-Closing Periods (such Tax Returns, the “Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns”), and for all taxable periods which begin before and end after the Closing Date (“Straddle Periods”) (such Tax Returns, “Straddle Period Tax Returns”). Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, Buyer shall prepare and file such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns and Straddle Period Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the prior practices of the Group Companies. Buyer shall permit Seller to review and comment on each Pre-Closing Period Tax Return and Straddle Period Tax Return at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing such Tax Return and shall consider in good faith any changes reasonably requested by Seller. Buyer shall timely pay all Taxes due as reflected on such Pre-Closing Tax Returns and Straddle Period Returns. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, all deductions related to Transaction Expenses, Indebtedness, or other amounts paid or accrued on or prior to the Closing Date shall be allocated to and reflected upon the Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 6.3(a), Buyer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Indemnity Escrow Fund for (i) any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in preparing and filing such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns and Straddle Period Tax Returns, and (ii) payment of all Taxes due as reflected on such Pre-Closing Tax Returns and, for the portion allocable to the Pre-Closing Periods covered thereby, such Straddle Period Returns, to the extent such Taxes have not been taken into account in the calculation of Indebtedness, Net Working Capital or Transaction Expenses.

(b) Apportionment of Straddle Period Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes of a Group Company that are payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Periods shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (B) imposed in connection with any sale, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of Taxes (other than those described in clause (i) above) that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the business or assets of a Group Company or otherwise measured by the level of any item, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding Tax period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item (including the effect of any graduated rates of Tax) that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated to the Straddle Period times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under this Section 6.3(b) shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the Closing Date. The parties hereto will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect with the relevant Governmental Entity to treat a portion of any Straddle Period as a short taxable period ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(c) Post-Closing Actions. Without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, except as required to cause the Group Companies’ Tax Returns to be consistent with applicable Law as determined pursuant to a more likely than not standard, Buyer shall not, with respect to the Group Companies: (i) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to a Pre-Closing Period, (ii) extend or waive any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax that relates to a Pre-Closing Period, (iii) apply to any Governmental Entity for any binding or non-binding opinion, ruling, or other determination, or voluntarily initiate any discussion or make any voluntary disclosure with any Governmental Entity, with respect to the Group Companies for any Pre-Closing Period, (iv) report any Tax deduction related to the Transaction Expenses, Indebtedness or any compensatory amounts or transaction expenses that are paid or accrued on or before the Closing Date on any Tax Return of the Group Companies, Buyer or their respective Affiliates for any taxable period or portion of a Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, (v) change any Tax election of the Group Companies for a Pre-Closing Period, or (vi) file any Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Period for any of the Group Companies in a jurisdiction where such Group Company has not previously filed Tax Returns, in each case, solely to the extent the foregoing action will result in indemnification of a Buyer Indemnified Party for Indemnifiable Damages payable out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to Article IX.

(d) Cooperation. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 6.3 and any Tax proceeding. Such cooperation shall include signing any Tax Returns, amended Tax Returns, claims or other documents necessary to settle any Tax proceeding, execution of powers of attorney, the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax proceeding or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereby.

(e) Transfer Taxes. Any sales, use, real estate transfer, stock transfer, stamp, value added or similar transfer Tax (“Transfer Taxes”) payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne one-half by Seller and one-half by Buyer. Buyer shall duly and timely prepare and file any Tax Return relating to such Taxes. Buyer shall give Seller a copy of each such Tax Return within five (5) days after filing such Tax Return. Buyer shall timely pay all Taxes due as reflected on such Tax Returns; provided, that, Buyer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Indemnity Escrow Fund for one-half of any such Transfer Taxes paid by Buyer to the extent such Taxes have not been taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital or Transaction Expenses.

(f) Tax Refunds. Except to the extent included as an asset in the calculation of Net Working Capital or attributable to the carryback of any loss from a taxable period commencing after the Closing Date, any cash refund of Taxes of the Group Companies for any Pre-Closing Period received by Buyer prior to the Indemnity Escrow Release Date that individually is in excess of $100,000 (such amounts of refunds of Taxes referred to herein as “Refunds”) shall be for the account of Seller, but only if, and to the extent, such Taxes were (i) actually paid by Seller prior to the Closing, (ii) paid out of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, or (iii) included in the calculation of Indebtedness, Net Working Capital or Transaction Expenses. Buyer shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to Seller any such Refund (less any Taxes or other reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the receipt of the Refund) promptly after the applicable Refund is received.

Section 6.4. Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(a) Seller shall join Buyer in making the election provided by Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 of the Treasury Regulations, and any comparable election under state, local or foreign Tax law (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). The Parties shall cooperate fully in making the Section 338(h)(10) Election, including the filing of all required IRS forms and related forms under state, local or foreign Tax law. Seller shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, prepare, execute and deliver to Buyer an IRS Form 8023 and any related forms under state, local or foreign Tax law (the “Section 338(h)(10) Forms”). Seller shall deliver drafts of the Section 338(h)(10) Forms to Buyer for its review and approval at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing. Buyer shall execute such IRS Form 8023 and any related forms under state, local or foreign Tax Law and shall timely file all such forms with the applicable Taxing Authority.

(b) Within thirty (30) Business Days after the Final NWC Adjustment is determined in accordance with Section 2.6, but no later than sixty (60) Business Days before the due date for filing IRS Form 8883, Buyer shall provide Seller with a completed schedule allocating the Aggregate Consideration among the assets of the Company prepared in accordance with the methodology reflected on Section 6.4(b) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Allocation Methodology”) and Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule”), for Seller’s review and comment. Buyer shall consider in good faith Seller’s reasonable comments on the Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule provided within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of the Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule, after which the Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

(c) Buyer shall, no later than ten (10) Business Days following the finalization of the Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule pursuant to Section 6.4(b), prepare IRS Form 8883, with all attachments, consistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule, and shall deliver the IRS Form 8883 to Seller.

(d) The Parties shall (i) file all Tax Returns (including IRS Forms 8023 and 8883) in a manner that is consistent with the Allocation Methodology and the Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule; (ii) not take a position on any Tax Return, before any Tax authority or in any judicial proceeding that is in any way inconsistent with the Allocation Methodology or the Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule; (iii) cooperate with each other as reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, execution and filing of all Tax Returns related to the Allocation Methodology and the Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule; and (iv) promptly advise each other regarding the existence of any Tax audit, controversy or litigation related to the Allocation Methodology or the Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule. If the Aggregate Consideration is adjusted in any manner as provided in this Agreement, the Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule shall be adjusted as mutually agreed by the parties to reflect such adjustments in accordance with the Allocation Methodology.

Section 6.5. Consents and Approvals; Antitrust Laws.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, prior to the Closing, each party hereto will use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to, consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including obtaining any (i) Required Approvals and (ii) consents required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby listed on Section 6.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule; provided, that neither Seller nor any Group Company shall be obligated to pay any amounts to third parties (other than fees and expenses of counsel or other advisors to Seller or the Group Companies) in connection with obtaining any consents related to Contracts of the Group Companies.

(b) As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement (but, in any event, within ten (10) days following the date hereof), each of Buyer and the Company shall (i) take all actions necessary to make any filings required of it or any of its Affiliates under and in compliance with any applicable Antitrust Laws in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) thereafter shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with one another in connection with any filing under applicable Antitrust Laws and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement initiated by any Antitrust Authority. Buyer and the Company shall each pay one-half of all filing fees required under the HSR Act.

(c) Each of Buyer and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any applicable Antitrust Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the context of this Section 6.5(c), “reasonable best efforts” shall include, in the case of Buyer and the Company, if either receives a formal request for additional information or documentary material from a Governmental Entity, substantially complying with such formal request within ninety (90) days following the date of its receipt thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that (i) Buyer shall not have any obligation to litigate or contest any Legal Proceeding challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of any Antitrust Law and (ii) Buyer shall be under no obligation to proffer, make proposals, negotiate, execute, carry out or submit to agreements or Orders providing for (A) the sale, transfer, license, divestiture, encumbrance or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets, categories of assets, operations or categories of operations of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or of the Company, (B) the discontinuation of any product or service of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or of the Company, (C) the licensing or provision of any technology, software or other Intellectual Property of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or of the Company to any Person, (D) the imposition of any limitation or regulation on the ability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to freely conduct their business or own their respective assets, (E) the holding separate of the Shares or any limitation or regulation on the ability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to exercise full rights of ownership of the Shares or (F) any actions that are not conditioned on the consummation of the Closing (any one or more of the foregoing, an “Antitrust Restraint”).

(d) Each of Buyer and the Company shall promptly inform the other of any material communication between such party and any Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to Applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, Buyer shall have the right (i) to direct all matters with any Governmental Entity relating to the Transactions and (ii) to review in advance, and direct the revision of, any filing, application, notification or other document to be submitted by the Company to any Governmental Entity under any Antitrust Law; provided that Buyer shall consult with the Company and consider in good faith the views of the Company in any such filing, application, notification or other document. If Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer receives any formal or informal request for supplemental information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby, then Buyer shall make or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable, a response in compliance with such request. If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company receives any formal or informal request for supplemental information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby, then the Company shall make or cause to be made, a response in compliance with such request. Neither party shall, without the prior written consent of the other party, permit any of the party’s representatives to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity relating to the transactions contemplated hereby unless the party participating in such meeting consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, grants the other party the opportunity to attend and lead the discussions at such meeting. The Company will not proffer, make proposals, negotiate, execute, carry out or submit to any agreements or Orders providing for any actions that would constitute an Antitrust Restraint; provided that the Company shall, if directed by Buyer, agree to any such action that is conditioned on the consummation of the Closing.

Section 6.6. Public Announcements. The press release announcing the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be issued in a form prepared by Buyer, subject to the reasonable consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Prior to the Closing, neither the Company nor Seller may, whether directly or indirectly, issue any press release or make any other announcement disclosing the existence of this Agreement or the matters contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Buyer, except where such a press release or other announcement is required by Law, as reasonably determined by outside counsel to the party seeking to make such announcement, in which event, such party shall give notice to Buyer of such determination prior to such release or announcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement, Buyer may make such public communications regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby as Buyer may determine is reasonably appropriate, but any such communications shall be subject to the reasonable consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 6.7. No Solicitation. The Company and Seller shall, and shall cause their Representatives and Affiliates to, cease and terminate any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties (other than Buyer) conducted heretofore with respect to any action that would constitute an Acquisition Proposal. From the date hereof through the earlier to occur of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, neither Seller nor the Company shall, directly or indirectly (through an Affiliate or Representative or otherwise), solicit, initiate or conduct any discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to or otherwise cooperate in any other way with, or facilitate or encourage any effort to attempt to, or enter into any agreement or understanding with, any Person or group of Persons (other than Buyer and its Affiliates) regarding any Acquisition Proposal. The Company and Seller agree not to waive any rights under, and not modify or amend, any confidentiality, non-disclosure or other similar agreements with any Person (other than Buyer and its Affiliates) that has received confidential information of the Group Companies in connection with any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall immediately (but in any event, within 24 hours) notify Buyer orally and in writing after receipt by the Company (or, to the Knowledge of the Company, by any of the Company’s Representatives), of (i) any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) any other notice that any Person is considering making an Acquisition Proposal or (iv) any request for non-public information relating to the Company or for access to any of the properties, books or records of the Company by any Person or Persons other than Buyer and its Representatives. Such notice shall describe (A) the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer, notice or request and (B) the identity of the Person or Persons making any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer, notice or request. The Company shall keep Buyer fully informed of the status and details of, and any modification to, any such inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer and any correspondence or communications related thereto and shall provide to Buyer a true, correct and complete copy of such inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer and any amendments, correspondence and communications related thereto, if in writing, or a reasonable written summary thereof, if not in writing.

Section 6.8. Employees; Employee Benefits.

(a) If and to the extent that Buyer maintains benefit plans that will cover Business Employees after the Closing, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to give each Business Employee full credit for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and determination of benefits (including, for purposes of vacation and severance, but excluding U.S. and non-U.S. equity compensation plans, U.S.

and non-U.S. incentive compensation plans, executive compensation plans, executive compensation arrangements, other pension plans (whether or not tax-qualified) and its non-U.S. benefit program) under any benefit plans maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates for such Business Employees’ service with the Group Companies to the same extent recognized by the Group Companies immediately prior to the Closing, in each case, to the extent permitted by or applicable to the terms of such plans; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service.

(b) The provisions contained in this Section 6.8 are included for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and nothing in this Section 6.8, whether express or implied, shall (i) create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any other Person, including any current or former employees, any participant in any Benefit Plan, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, (ii) be construed as an amendment, waiver or creation of or limitation on the ability to terminate any Benefit Plans or benefit plans or agreements of Buyer, (iii) duplicate any benefit provided to any Continuing Employee or operate to fund any such benefit; (iv) require Buyer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates to pay for any benefits that relate to any time period prior to the Business Employees’ participation in these plans or (iii) limit the ability of Buyer or any Group Company to terminate the employment of any Business Employee at any time.

Section 6.9. Additional Efforts. Following the Closing, as and when requested by any party hereto and at such requesting party’s expense, any other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further actions as the requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.10. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) For a period of not less than six years after the Closing Date, the Group Companies shall, and Buyer shall cause the Group Companies to, maintain on terms no less favorable than the current terms, and to honor in accordance with such terms, the provisions of the Governing Documents of the Group Companies as in effect on the date hereof with respect to exculpation and indemnification of present and former directors, managers, and officers of any Group Company (including provisions relating to contributions, advancement of expenses and the like), it being the intent of the parties hereto that such present and former directors, managers, officers, employees and agents will continue to be entitled to such exculpation, indemnification, and advancement of expense to the fullest extent of the Law following the Closing Date.

(b) Buyer shall cause the Group Companies to (i) for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, maintain in effect the current policies of directors’, officers’ and fiduciaries’ liability insurance maintained by the Group Companies immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Existing D&O Policy”), if available, or (ii) obtain as of the Closing Date “tail” insurance policies (the “D&O Tail”) covering those persons who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, are covered by the Existing D&O Policy, with a claims period of six (6) years from the Closing Date and on terms no less favorable than those of the Existing D&O Policy; provided, however, that in no event will Buyer (or, following the Closing Date, any of the Group Companies) be required to pay in excess of 200% of the annual premium most recently paid by the Group Companies for such coverage; provided further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such coverage is not available (or is only available for an amount in excess of 200% of the annual premium most recently paid by the Group Companies for such coverage), Buyer shall nevertheless use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such coverage as may be obtained for such 200% amount. The negotiation and purchase of the D&O Tail shall be controlled by Buyer in good faith consultation with the Company, and will be placed with a broker mutually agreed upon by Buyer and the Company. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that one-half of the premium of the D&O Tail shall be treated as a Transaction Expense for all purposes hereunder.

Section 6.11. Termination of Qualified Plans & Specified Plans. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, amend the ESOP (the “ESOP Amendment”), each other Qualified Plan, if any, and the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Amended and Restated Effective July 1, 2015 and Amendment to the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Effective July 1, 2015 (the “SERP”) each contingent upon the completion of the Closing and effective as of the Closing Date, to (a) permanently discontinue contributions to and terminate the ESOP, the SERP and any other Qualified Plan, if any, and (b) convert the ESOP into a profit-sharing plan. The ESOP Amendment, in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.11, shall provide that, as soon as administratively feasible following the Closing Date, the ESOP Trustee shall distribute up to 75% of the value of each ESOP participant’s account balance in a single cash lump sum (with or without participant consent), including accounts already in pay status (such value to be determined without regard to the possible adjustment in the value of amounts that are subject to the Escrow Agreement). At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Buyer a draft notice to the participants of the ESOP describing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and stating that the pre-Closing Board of Directors of the Company will permanently discontinue contributions to and terminate the ESOP. The Company shall provide Buyer with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such notice and any other communications to the participants in the ESOP regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, the Company shall submit an application in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer to the IRS requesting a favorable determination with respect to the amendment and termination of the ESOP. As soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such determination letter and the final distribution of the funds held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the ESOP Trustee shall distribute all remaining ESOP account balances. Furthermore, such amendment to the ESOP shall provide that (A) the ESOP Trustee is permitted to adopt such rules as it deems necessary or advisable with respect to any ESOP participant’s rights to proceeds in the Adjustment Escrow Fund pending release of any such amounts to Seller, and (B) the ESOP shall remain in existence (albeit frozen) until such proceeds, if any, are released to Seller and become available for distribution. The Committee shall keep Buyer reasonably informed on the status of the ESOP termination as contemplated by this Section 6.11. The amendments to such other Qualified Plans, if any, and the SERP shall provide that, as soon as administratively feasible following the Closing Date, but subject to any applicable regulatory requirements and receipt of a final determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, the applicable fiduciary will direct the trustee of such Qualified Plan, if any, to distribute each participant’s vested account balance in a single lump sum (with or without participant consent), including accounts already in pay status.

Section 6.12. Post-Closing Administration of ESOP.

(a) Seller agrees to assume and pay all costs and expenses incurred with respect to the ESOP following the Closing Date that constitute administrative expenses under ERISA, with any other such costs and expenses to be paid from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(b) The ESOP Administration Committee (the “Committee”), as defined in the ESOP, with Agnes Semington, Cindy Vetsch and David Potente as its members will be authorized to act as the administrator of the ESOP. Unless otherwise required to fulfill its fiduciary duties under ERISA or otherwise by ERISA, Buyer shall not cause the Company to remove or replace such Committee members following the Closing; provided that the Company may replace any member following such individual’s death, disability, termination of employment or service with the Company and its ERISA Affiliates or resignation as a member of the Committee. The ESOP plan document and ESOP Trust Agreement shall

be amended to provide that until the release of all Adjustment Escrow Amounts pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement only the Committee may remove the ESOP Trustee at any time following the Closing Date; provided, however, that in all other respects the Company shall remain authorized to manage and control the ESOP, including, without limitation, amending the ESOP plan document and ESOP Trust Agreement in any way that it determines to be necessary and appropriate (other than in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement), including amendments made at the request of the IRS in connection with its issuance of a final determination letter for the ESOP. Any trustee appointed by the Committee shall be an independent corporate trustee, subject to ERISA fiduciary duties.

Section 6.13. Termination of Options and Phantom Shares. Prior to the Closing, and subject to the prior review and approval of Buyer, Seller and the Company shall terminate the Plan and any Options or Phantom Shares issued thereunder (other than with respect to the Phantom Shares granted in September 2017) effective as of the Closing, including by delivering all required notices, obtaining all necessary approvals and consents, and delivering evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that all necessary determinations by the board of directors of the Company or applicable committee thereof to terminate the Plan and all Options and Phantom Shares (other than with respect to the Phantom Shares granted in September 2017) have been made.

Section 6.14. Debt Financing.

(a) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing, including using its reasonable best efforts to: (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, (ii) comply with its obligations under the Commitment Letter, (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on substantially the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, but in no event later than the Closing, or on such other terms and conditions no less favorable in the aggregate to Buyer than the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter (provided that such other terms could not reasonably be expected to delay or hinder the Closing), (iv) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Buyer in the Commitment Letter (or definitive agreements entered into with respect to the Commitment Letter), and (v) in the event that all conditions in the Commitment Letter have been satisfied, cause the Financing Sources to fund the Debt Financing at the Closing.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer will not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Commitment Letter without the consent of the Company if such amendment, modification or waiver would (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing to be funded on the Closing Date (unless Buyer has a sufficient amount of available cash on hand from other sources to pay the amounts required to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Article II at Closing, and to pay all related fees and expenses), (ii) impose new or additional conditions to, or expand any of the conditions to, the receipt of the Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to delay, impede or prevent the timely funding of the Debt Financing, or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing on the Closing Date, or (iii) adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the Financing Sources, provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may amend, amend and restate or replace the existing Commitment Letter to (A) add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof and (B) modify pricing and implement or exercise any “flex” provisions contained in the Commitment Letter or any related fee letter. Buyer shall (i) furnish the Company complete, correct and executed copies of any amendments, restatements, supplements, amendment and restatements, modifications or replacements to the Commitment Letter and (ii) give the

Company prompt notice of any breach by any party of the Commitment Letter of which Buyer becomes aware or any termination thereof; provided that in no event shall Buyer be under any obligation to disclose any information pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) that would waive the protection of attorney-client or similar privilege if such party shall have used reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege.

(c) In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable (other than by reason of a breach of this Agreement by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company) on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Commitment Letter (including any applicable flex provisions in any related fee letter) and such portion is required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) Buyer shall promptly notify the Company and (ii) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain any such portion from alternative sources on terms, conditions and costs, taken as whole, that are no more adverse to Buyer (including after giving effect to the flex provisions) than those contained in the Commitment Letter as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.14, in the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Commitment Letter (including the flex provisions) and such portion is required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Commitment Letter may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or superseded at the option of Buyer after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time by instruments that either amend, amend and restate, or replace the existing Commitment Letter or contemplate co-investment by or financing from one or more other or additional parties; provided that the terms of the such new or amended commitment letters shall not (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing to be funded on the Closing Date (unless Buyer has a sufficient amount of available cash on hand from other sources to pay the amounts required to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Article II at Closing, and to pay all related fees and expenses), (ii) impose new or additional conditions to receipt of the Debt Financing, or otherwise expand any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing, in each case, in a manner that could reasonably be expected to delay, impede or prevent the timely funding of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date, or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing, or (iii) adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the Financing Sources. Buyer shall deliver to the Company true and correct copies of all new or amended commitment letters (including redacted fee and engagement letters in respect of any new or amended commitment letters). In the event that the Commitment Letter is amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, modified, or replaced, the term “Commitment Letter” as used herein shall be deemed to include the new or amended commitment letters described in this Section 6.14 to the extent then in effect and the term “Debt Financing” as used herein shall be deemed to include the financing contemplated by any such new or amended commitment letters.

Section 6.15. Financing Cooperation.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, provide Buyer with all cooperation reasonably requested by Buyer to assist it in causing the conditions in the Commitment Letter to be satisfied or as is otherwise reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the Debt Financing.

(a) The representations and warranties made by the Company, Seller and Buyer herein and in the other certificates contemplated by this Agreement shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or disclosure made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto, until the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date; provided that regardless of any investigation or disclosure made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto, the Fundamental Representations will remain operative and in full force and effect until 60 days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (as such statute of limitations pertains to the subject matter of such Fundamental Representation, or to the ability of an Indemnified Person to make a claim relating to a breach of such Fundamental Representation, as the case may be, whichever is later), for claims against an Indemnifying Person that seek recovery of Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with an inaccuracy in such representations or warranties; provided,

further, that no right to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3(a) in respect of any claim that is set forth in a Claim Certificate delivered to an Indemnifying Person on or prior to the expiration of such representations and warranties shall be affected by such expiration; provided, further, that such expiration shall not affect the rights of any Indemnified Person under this Article IX or otherwise to seek recovery of Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any fraud.

(b) Following the Closing, all covenants, agreements and obligations of the parties hereto shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Closing, except to the extent such covenants, agreements and obligations are to be performed on or after the Closing; provided that no right to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX in respect of any claim based upon any breach of a covenant, agreement or obligation delivered on or prior to the expiration of such covenant, agreement or obligation shall be affected by the expiration of such covenant, agreement or obligation.

(c) Each of the respective survival periods described in Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b), as applicable, is individually referred to in this Agreement as a “Survival Period. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that, if a Survival Period is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such representation, warranty or covenant, then, by contract, such statute of limitations shall be reduced to the shortened Survival Period. The parties hereto further acknowledge that such Survival Periods are the result of arms’-length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for such Survival Periods to be enforced as agreed by them.

Section 9.2. Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(a) At the Closing, Buyer shall deposit the Indemnity Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.5(a) (the aggregate amount of cash held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 9.2, from time to time, the “Indemnity Escrow Fund”), which Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Subject to Section 9.5, the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall constitute partial security for the benefit of Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to the indemnification obligations of Seller under this Article IX. Subject to Section 9.2(b), the Escrow Agent shall hold the Indemnity Escrow Fund until 11:59 p.m. local time on the date (the “Indemnity Escrow Release Date”) that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. Neither the Indemnity Escrow Fund (including any portion thereof) nor any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, subjected to any Lien, sold, assigned or transferred by Seller or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other Liability of Seller, in each case prior to the distribution of the Indemnity Escrow Fund to Seller in accordance with Section 9.2(b).

(b) Promptly following the Indemnity Escrow Release Date (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), the Escrow Agent shall distribute to Seller any remaining amount in the Indemnity Escrow Fund less that portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund equal to the aggregate value of all unsatisfied or disputed Indemnifiable Damages set forth in any Claim Certificate delivered to Seller on or prior to the Indemnity Escrow Release Date in accordance with this Article IX (which disputed amounts shall remain in escrow and shall only be released to Seller following the Indemnity Escrow Release Date upon final determination in Seller’s favor with respect to such disputed Indemnifiable Damages until such dispute is resolved). Any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund held by the Escrow Agent following the Indemnity Escrow Release Date with respect to pending but unresolved claims for indemnification that is not awarded to Buyer upon the resolution of such claims shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent to Seller within five (5) Business Days following resolution of such claims.

Section 9.3. Indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Persons.

(a) Subject to the limitations contained in this Article IX, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Company and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Person”) from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each Buyer Indemnified Person for, any and all losses, Liabilities, damages, claims, fees, Taxes, interest, costs and expenses, including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, experts and other professionals, directly or indirectly, whether or not due to a Third-Party Claim (collectively, “Indemnifiable Damages”), arising out of, resulting from or in connection with:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or Seller herein or in in any certificate delivered by the Company or Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.5(c) of this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of, or default in connection with, any of the covenants, agreements or obligations herein that are made by Seller or, solely with regard to any breach that occurs prior to the Closing, the Company;

(iii) any matter set forth in Section 3.11 of the Disclosure Schedule as of the date hereof or the Closing Date;

(iv) any fraud by or on behalf of Seller or, prior to the Closing, the Company;

(v) all costs, fees and expenses of the ESOP Trustee and, whether arising prior to or following the Closing, any costs, fees, expenses and other Liabilities relating to the maintenance and administration of the ESOP and/or the resulting profit-sharing plan;

(vi) any amounts payable to Buyer from the Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to Sections 6.3(a), (e) and (f);

(vii) any Liabilities for claims, counterclaims, causes of action or demands arising out of or relating to Seller’s prior relationship with the Company or its rights or status as a shareholder of the Company (excluding any such Liabilities arising under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, that certain Agency Agreement, dated June 28, 2017, between the Company and the ESOP Trustee, that certain Custody Agreement, dated June 28, 2017, between the Company and the ESOP Trustee, or the Lifetouch Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Trust Agreement, restated June 28, 2017, between the Company and the ESOP Trustee);

(viii) the matter set forth on Schedule 9.3(a)(viii) to the extent such matter has not been settled by the Company prior to the Closing; and

(ix) the matter set forth on Schedule 9.3(a)(ix).

(b) Materiality qualifications and qualifications by reference to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect” in any representation or warranty herein made by any party hereto shall not be taken into account in determining whether an inaccuracy in such representation or warranty exists for purposes of Section 9.3(a)(i) or Section 9.4(a)(i) or in determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages with respect to such inaccuracy; provided, that this Section 9.3(b) shall not apply to materiality qualifications set forth in Section 3.9 and Section 3.16(a). Materiality qualifications and qualifications by reference to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect” in any covenant, agreement or obligation of any party herein shall be taken into account in determining whether a breach thereof has occurred, but shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages with respect to any breach of such covenant, agreement or obligation by any party hereto.

Section 9.4. Indemnification of the Seller Indemnified Persons.

(a) Subject to the limitations contained in this Article IX, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its officers, directors, agents, trustees and employees (each, a “Seller Indemnified Person”) from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each Seller Indemnified Person for, any and all Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer herein or in in any certificate delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of, or default in connection with, any of the covenants, agreements or obligations made by Buyer herein; and

(iii) any fraud by or on behalf of Buyer or, after the Closing, the Company.

Section 9.5. Limitations on Indemnification; Source of Recovery.

(a) Deductible.

(i) Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Buyer Indemnified Person with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages from any claim or claims made by a Buyer Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 9.3(a), except to the extent that the aggregate Indemnifiable Damages from all such claims exceeds $4,125,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Buyer Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover only such Indemnifiable Damages as exceed such amount. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the limitation contained in this Section 9.5(a)(i) shall not apply to claims based on inaccuracies in or breaches of any of the Company Fundamental Representations, or claims based on any matter set forth in Sections 9.3(a)(ii) through (ix).

(ii) Buyer shall not be obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Seller Indemnified Person with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages from any claim or claims made by a Seller Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 9.4(a), except to the extent that the aggregate Indemnifiable Damages from all such claims exceeds the Deductible, in which case the Seller Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover only such Indemnifiable Damages as exceed such amount. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the limitation contained in this Section 9.5(a)(ii) shall not apply to claims based on inaccuracies in or breaches of any of the Buyer Fundamental Representations, or claims based on any matter set forth in Section 9.4(a)(ii) or (iii).

(b) Cap.

(i) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5(d), in no event shall Seller’s liability for Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to Section 9.3(a) exceed, in the aggregate, the Indemnity Escrow Amount (the “Cap”), except as set forth in Section 9.5(c); provided, that Seller’s liability for Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(viii) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Special Indemnity Cap.

(ii) In no event shall Buyer’s liability for Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to Section 9.4(a) exceed, in the aggregate, the Cap.

(c) Fraud. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the limitations contained in Sections 9.4(a), (b) and (d) shall not apply in the case of fraud.

(d) Source of Recovery. If there is determined to be any amount owing to a Buyer Indemnified Person as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(i), such amount shall first be paid and satisfied from an amount of the Indemnity Escrow Fund equal, in the aggregate, to the Deductible, in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and, following such time as the Retention Amount (as defined in the R&W Insurance Policy) has been met, then such Buyer Indemnified Person may recover such amount exclusively from the R&W Insurance Policy, regardless of any amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund. If there is determined to be any amount owing to a Buyer Indemnified Person as a result of indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.3(a)(ii) through (ix), such amount shall be paid and satisfied exclusively from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; provided, that Seller’s liability for Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(viii) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount of the Indemnity Escrow Fund equal to the Special Indemnity Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, including this Article IX, Buyer acknowledges, understands and agrees that, except as set forth in Section 9.5(c) and subject to the additional limitations set forth in this Section 9.5, (i) any and all amounts payable by Seller as a result of any claim by a Buyer Indemnified Person for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX shall be paid solely out of and to the extent of the Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and (ii) for Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(i) in amounts in excess of an amount of the Indemnity Escrow Fund equal to the Deductible, the sole source of recovery of the Buyer Indemnified Persons for Indemnifiable Damages in this Agreement shall be the R&W Insurance Policy.

(e) Seller shall not be liable under this Article IX for any Indemnifiable Damages to the extent such Indemnifiable Damages are reflected in the calculation of, or any adjustment to, Net Working Capital, Transaction Expenses, Closing Cash or Closing Indebtedness, and no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover more than once from an Indemnifying Person for matters based on the same inaccuracy or breach.

(f) Buyer and Seller agree to treat (and cause their Affiliates to treat) any indemnification payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Aggregate Consideration. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall (nor shall they permit their Affiliates to) take any position on any Tax Return, or before any Governmental Entity involved in the administration of Tax Laws, that is inconsistent with such treatment. Any indemnification obligation under this Agreement shall be net of any insurance proceeds or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received by the Indemnified Person or its Affiliates from any third party with respect thereto, net of any reasonable expenses and costs of recovery. In the event that an insurance or other recovery (including recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy) is received by or made available to any Indemnified Person with respect to any indemnification obligation for which any such Person has been indemnified under this Agreement, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (net of any reasonable expenses and costs of recovery) shall be made promptly to the Indemnifying Person.

Section 9.6. Period for Claims. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.6, the period (the “Claims Period”) during which claims may be made against the Indemnity Escrow Fund for Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to Section 9.3(a) shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. local time on the Indemnity Escrow Release Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Claims Period for claims for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct shall not be limited.

Section 9.7. Claim Notice.

(a) From time to time during the Claims Period, an Indemnified Person may deliver to an Indemnifying Person one or more certificates signed by any officer of the Indemnified Person (each, a “Claim Certificate”):

(i) stating that an Indemnified Person has incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, or in good faith believes that it may incur, pay, reserve or accrue, Indemnifiable Damages (or that with respect to any Tax matters, that any Tax authority may reasonably raise such matter in audit of Buyer or its subsidiaries, that could reasonably be expected to give rise to Indemnifiable Damages);

(ii) stating the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages (which, in the case of Indemnifiable Damages not yet incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, may be the maximum amount believed by Buyer in good faith to be incurred, paid, reserved, accrued or demanded by a third party); and

(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Buyer) the individual items of such Indemnifiable Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Indemnifiable Damages are related.

(b) Such Claim Certificate (i) need only specify such information to the knowledge of such officer of the Indemnified Person as of the date thereof, (ii) shall not limit any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Person with respect to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such Claim Certificate and (iii) may be updated and amended from time to time by the Indemnified Person by delivering any updated or amended Claim Certificate, so long as the delivery of the original Claim Certificate is made within the applicable Claims Period and such update or amendment relates to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Claims Certificate; provided that all claims for Indemnifiable Damages properly set forth in a Claim Certificate or any update or amendment thereto shall remain outstanding until such claims have been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay in providing such Claim Certificate within the applicable Claims Period shall affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) Seller is materially prejudiced thereby.

Section 9.8. Resolution of Direct Claims. In the event of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement other than a Third-Party Claim:

(a) If an Indemnifying Person does not contest, by written notice to the Indemnified Party any claim or claims by the Indemnified Person made in any Claim Certificate within the thirty (30)-day period following receipt of the Claim Certificate, then (i) the Indemnifiable Damages identified in the Claim Certificate will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Person, (ii) in the case of claim by a Buyer Indemnified Person, the Escrow Agent shall, upon Buyer’s direction, distribute to Buyer an amount of cash from the Indemnity Escrow Fund having a total value equal to the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages set forth in such Claim Certificate, and (iii) in the case of a claim by a Seller Indemnified Person, Buyer shall pay, by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller, within two (2) Business Days after the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, the amount of cash equal to such Indemnifiable Damages.

(b) If the Indemnifying Person objects in writing to any claim or claims by an Indemnified Person made in any Claim Certificate within the thirty (30)-day period set forth in Section 9.8(a), Buyer and Seller shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Person’s receipt of such written objection to resolve such objection. In the case of claim by a Buyer Indemnified Person, if Buyer and Seller shall so agree, a joint written instruction setting forth such agreement shall be

prepared, signed by both parties and delivered to the Escrow Agent. Upon receipt of such instruction, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to Buyer an amount of cash from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of such joint written instruction. In the case of a claim by a Seller Indemnified Person, Buyer shall pay, by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller, within two (2) Business Days of such resolution, the amount of cash equal to the amount so agreed.

(c) If no such agreement can be reached during the thirty (30)-day period for good faith negotiation set forth in Section 9.8(b), but in any event upon the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, either Buyer or Seller may bring an action in accordance with the terms of Section 10.5 to resolve the matter. The decision of such tribunal as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Certificate shall be non-appealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto, and, in the case of claim by a Buyer Indemnified Person, Buyer shall be entitled to instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute to Buyer an amount of cash from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance therewith. In the case of a claim by a Seller Indemnified Person, Buyer shall pay, by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller, within two (2) Business Days of such decision, the amount of cash in accordance with such decision.

(d) For purposes of this Section 9.8, in any suit hereunder in which any claim or the amount thereof stated in the Claim Certificate is at issue, the Indemnified Person shall be deemed to be the prevailing party unless the arbitrator determines in favor of the Indemnifying Person with respect to more than one-half of the amount in dispute, in which case the Indemnifying Person shall be deemed to be the prevailing party. The non-prevailing party to a tribunal shall pay its own fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of the prevailing party, including attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred in connection with such suit.

Section 9.9. Resolution of Third-Party Claims. In the event an Indemnified Person becomes aware of a claim by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) that the Indemnified Person in good faith believes may result in a claim for Indemnifiable Damages by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person, following delivery of a Claim Certificate to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve such Third-Party Claim (and the costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with such defense, settlement or resolution (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Indemnifiable Damages for which the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to a claim made hereunder, and such costs and expenses shall constitute Indemnifiable Damages subject to indemnification under Section 9.3 or Section 9.4, as applicable, in the event it is ultimately determined that any aspect of such Third-Party Claim resulted in Indemnifiable Damages in connection with a matter listed in Section 9.3 or Section 9.4, as applicable), and shall actively and diligently defend such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Person shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to such Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Person, subject to execution by the Indemnifying Person of the Indemnified Person’s (and, if required, such third party’s) standard non-disclosure agreement to the extent that such materials contain confidential or propriety information. However, the Indemnified Person shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine and conduct the defense of any Third-Party Claim and the settlement, adjustment or compromise of such Third-Party Claim. Unless otherwise consented to in writing in advance by the Indemnified Person in its sole discretion, the Indemnifying Person and its Affiliates may not participate in any Third-Party Claim or any action related to such Third-Party Claim (including any discussions or negotiations in connection with the settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof). In the event that an Indemnifying Party has consented to the amount of any settlement or resolution by an Indemnified Party of any such claim (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), or if the Indemnifying Party shall have been determined to have unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent to the amount of any such settlement or resolution, the Indemnifying Party shall not have any power or

authority to object under this Article IX to the amount of any claim by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person for indemnity with respect to such settlement or resolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no settlement or resolution by the Indemnified Person of any such Third-Party Claim shall be determinative of the existence of the right of an Indemnified Person to be indemnified in respect of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Article IX or the amount of Indemnifiable Damages relating to such matter.

Section 9.10. Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Buyer and Seller agree to treat (and cause their respective Affiliates to treat) any payment received by the Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Article IX as adjustments to the Aggregate Consideration for all Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 9.11. Sole Remedy after Closing. Each of Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that, if the Closing occurs, their respective sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the other party hereto, and with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement (excluding (a) any claim relating to fraud, or (b) any Post-Closing Adjustment contemplated by Section 2.6), shall be pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Article IX; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Indemnified Person from (x) pursuing remedies as may be available to such party under applicable Law in the event of the Indemnifying Person’s failure to comply with its indemnification obligations hereunder or (y) pursuing an injunction or other equitable relief as may be available to such party under applicable Law or pursuant to Section 10.14.

ARTICLE X

Section 10.2. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Assignment.

(a) This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto and the Confidentiality Agreement) and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(b) This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing executed by the Company, Seller and Buyer.

Section 10.3. Waiver. Any agreement on the part of any party hereto to any extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless it is in a writing signed by the other party, (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

All notices, requests, instructions or other documents to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (a) if delivered by the recipient personally, effective when delivered, or (b) if sent by electronic transmission, when receipt is acknowledged; provided, however, that if receipt is acknowledged after normal business hours of the recipient, notice shall be deemed to have been given on the next business day, (c) if delivered by express delivery service, effective when delivery has been signed for or otherwise acknowledged by standard process, or (d) if mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), effective three business days after mailing, to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings contained herein when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto, unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. All pronouns contained in this Agreement encompass the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms. Any Contract, instrument or Law defined or referred to herein or in any Contract or instrument that is referred to herein means such Contract, instrument or Law, as from time to time, amended, qualified or supplemented, including (in the case of Contracts and instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of Laws) by succession of comparable successor Laws and all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. The reference to “$” or “Dollars” shall be United States Dollars. The phrase “made available to” and phrases of similar import means, with respect to any information, document or other material of the Company, that such information, document or material was made available for review by the Company or its Representatives in the virtual data room established by the Company in connection with this Agreement at least 48 hours prior to the execution of this Agreement or actually delivered (whether by physical or electronic delivery) to the Company or its Representatives at least 48 hours prior to the execution of this Agreement.

(b) The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.

(c) The Disclosure Schedule shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement, to the same extent as if it were set forth verbatim herein. Information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule specifically refers to the article and section of this Agreement to which such information is responsive; provided, that, disclosure of an item in the Disclosure Schedule in response to one section of this Agreement shall constitute disclosure and response in the Disclosure Schedule to every section of this Agreement to which its application is reasonably apparent from a reading of the disclosure, notwithstanding the fact that no express cross-reference is made. The Disclosure Schedule is not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, any representation or warranty or covenant of Seller, except as and to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement. Matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedule. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Inclusion of a matter in the Disclosure Schedule shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by Seller, or otherwise imply, that any such matter is material or creates a measure for materiality for purposes of this Agreement or of any obligation or liability to any third party.

Section 10.11. Time of Essence. The parties hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement.

Section 10.12. Confidentiality.

(a) The parties hereto shall treat all nonpublic information provided or obtained in connection with this Agreement (including in connection with the access provisions of Section 6.2 hereof) and the transactions contemplated hereby as confidential in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will govern. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

(b) After the Closing:

(i) Buyer and its Affiliates shall not disclose or use, directly or indirectly, any information, whether disclosed through documents, work papers or other materials, orally, or electronically, that is of a confidential or proprietary nature related to Seller (including any information obtained in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) and shall maintain the confidentiality of all such information; provided, however, that Buyer may disclose any such information (A) that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Buyer or its Affiliates, (B) that is or becomes available to Buyer on a non-confidential basis from a source that is not bound by a confidentiality obligation to the Company or Seller, or (C) with the prior written approval of Seller; provided, further, that, to the extent that Buyer or its Affiliates may become legally compelled to disclose any such information by any Governmental Entity or if Buyer or its Affiliates receives written advice of outside counsel that disclosure is required in order to avoid violating any Laws, Buyer or its Affiliates may disclose such information; but only after, if applicable or relevant, they have used all commercially reasonable efforts to afford Seller, at its sole cost and expense, the opportunity to obtain an appropriate protective order, or other satisfactory assurance of confidential treatment, for the information required to be disclosed; provided, further, that Buyer may disclose only that portion of such information as is necessary to comply with applicable Law or regulation, or to enforce its obligations under this Agreement; and provided, further, that this Section 10.12 shall not prohibit or restrict or otherwise limit the use or disclosure by Buyer and its Affiliates of any documents, work papers or other materials or information related to the Group Companies or the Business.

(ii) Seller shall not disclose or use, directly or indirectly, any information, whether disclosed through documents, work papers or other materials, orally, or electronically, that is of a confidential or proprietary nature related to the Group Companies and shall maintain the confidentiality of all such information; provided, however, that Seller may disclose any such information (A) that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Seller, (B) that is or becomes available to Seller on a non-confidential basis from a source that is not bound by a confidentiality obligation to Buyer or (C) with the prior written approval of Buyer; provided, further, that, to the extent that Seller may become legally compelled to disclose any such information by any Governmental Entity or if Seller receives written advice of outside counsel that disclosure is required in order to avoid violating any Laws, Seller may disclose such information; but only after, if applicable or relevant, it has used all commercially reasonable efforts to afford Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, the opportunity to obtain an appropriate protective order, or other satisfactory assurance of confidential treatment, for the information required to be disclosed; and provided, further, that Seller may disclose only that portion of such information as is necessary to comply with applicable Law or regulation, in connection with any required Tax disclosures or to enforce its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 10.13. [Reserved].

Section 10.14. Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the subject matter of this Agreement, including the business, assets and properties of the Group Companies, is unique, that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached, and that the remedies at law would not be adequate to compensate such other parties not in default or in breach. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that the other parties will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions of this Agreement in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity. The parties waive any defense that a remedy at law is adequate and any requirement to post bond or provide similar security in connection with actions instituted for injunctive relief or specific performance of this Agreement.

Section 10.15. Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the parties hereto on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates hereby: (a) agrees that any Legal Proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Financing Sources, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the agreements (including the Commitment Letter) entered into in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, so long as such forum is and remains available, and any appellate court thereof and each party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such Legal Proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, (b) agrees that any such Legal Proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another state), (c) agrees not to bring or support or permit any of its Affiliates to bring or support any Legal Proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Source in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder in any forum other than any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, (d) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such Proceeding or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 10.4, (e) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Proceeding in any such court, (f) knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law trial by jury in any Legal Proceeding brought against the Financing Sources in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (g) agrees that none of the Financing Sources will have any liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives any of their respective current, former or future officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, stockholders, limited partners, managers, members or partners relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder and (h) agrees that the Financing Sources are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any of the provisions in this Agreement reflecting the foregoing agreements in this Section 10.15 and Section 8.2 (and such provisions shall not be amended in any way material to any Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Financing Source).
