If Seller does not object to such draft Allocation within such thirty (30) day period, or if Buyer and Seller resolve any disagreements with respect to such draft Allocation, (i) such Allocation (as revised, if applicable) shall be final binding on the parties for federal, state, local and other Tax purposes, (ii) the parties shall report the transactions consummated pursuant to this Agreement in a manner consistent with such final Allocation on all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8883) and take no Tax position contrary thereto, (iii) any subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be reflected in amendments to such Allocation made in accordance with the principles set forth in Treasury regulations § 1.338-7, and (iv) in the event that the final Allocation is disputed by any Taxing Authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute will promptly notify the other parties, and the parties will consult in good faith how to resolve such dispute in a manner consistent with the Allocation. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve all such disagreements with respect to the draft Allocation, then the Allocation shall not be binding on the parties.

(c)    For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and shall file or cause to be filed, (i) all consolidated Income Tax Returns of Seller and its Affiliates which include any of the Acquired Companies, including such Income Tax Returns for the short period of the Acquired Companies ending as of the end of the Closing Date and (ii) all other Income Tax Returns of any of the Acquired Companies for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date. Seller and Buyer agree that (i) such Income Tax Returns filed by Seller shall, to the extent required by applicable law, include a copy of the Section 338 Forms, (ii) all deductions arising from any items accruing on the Closing Date with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be deducted in the taxable period (or portion thereof) of the Acquired Companies ending on the Closing Date (including, as applicable, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A)(1); and not treated as being “properly allocable” to the portion of the Closing Date after the sale of the Acquired Securities for purposes of applying the “next day” rule under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B)), and (iii) no

election shall be made to apply the ratable allocation method under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2).

(d)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01(a), all Tax Returns filed by any of the Acquired Companies with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods that are originally filed after the Closing Date shall be prepared and timely filed by Buyer. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in manner consistent with past practice of any of the Acquired Companies and this Agreement, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law. Seller shall be permitted to review and comment on any such Tax Returns at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing thereof, and Buyer shall make all changes reasonably requested by Seller that are consistent with this Agreement and applicable Law. All Taxes reflected as due and payable on Tax Returns prepared and filed pursuant to this Section 9.01(d) shall be paid by the Seller at the time it provides any comments to Buyer relating to such Tax Returns, but only if and to the extent (i) such Taxes are allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (including Taxes allocable to the portion of a Straddle Period ending as of the end of the Closing Date, as determined pursuant to Section 9.01(e)), (ii) such Taxes were not paid by any of the Acquired Companies (or Seller or any of its Affiliates) on or prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) such Taxes did not arise out of a transaction occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing that is outside the ordinary course of business or as a result of the breach of the covenants set forth in Section 9.01(h) of this Agreement.

(e)    For the purposes of this Agreement, the portion of a Tax for any Straddle Period that is allocable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending as of the end of the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of property, ad valorem and other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending as of the end of the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income, gains, receipts, gross margins, employment, sales, use, or other Taxes imposed on a non-periodic basis reasonably allocable using a closing-of-the-books approach, be deemed to be equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended as of the end of the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a Straddle Period shall be taken into account as though the relevant taxable period ended as of the end of the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the allocations described in this Section 9.01(d) shall be made in a manner consistent with the prior practice of the Acquired Companies, except to the extent otherwise required by Law.

(f)    Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other Action with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(g)    Any Tax refunds of any of the Acquired Companies, and interest thereon that are received by Buyer, any of the Acquired Companies or their Affiliates, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer, any of the Acquired Companies or their Affiliates become entitled in lieu of any such refund, in each case that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, shall be for the account of Seller, and Buyer shall pay over to Seller any such refund and interest or the amount of any such credit within 15 days after receipt or acceptance of the return claiming entitlement thereto by the applicable Taxing Authority, in each case, except to the extent such Tax refunds are with respect to Taxes

allocable to the portion of a Straddle Period beginning on the day after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 9.01(e).

(h)    Except as otherwise specifically required by the terms of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Seller, Buyer shall not take (and shall not permit any of its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies, to take) any of the following actions: (i) make, change or revoke any Tax election or adopt or change any accounting method of the Acquired Companies, in each case, that has any effect in any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes of any of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iii) to the extent such action would increase Seller’s liability for Taxes under this Agreement, (A) file (except pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 9.01(d) hereof) or amend any Tax Return of any Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (B) except as set forth in Section 9.01(h) of the Disclosure Schedules, enter into any voluntary disclosure agreement with any Taxing Authority with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of any of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (C) initiate discussions or examinations with any Taxing Authority regarding Taxes of any Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided however, that Seller acknowledges that it shall not withhold consent for any such action to the extent such action is required to be taken under applicable Law.

Section 10.01.    Termination Prior to Closing. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned, prior to the Closing:

(a)    By mutual written consent of the Parties;

(b)    By Seller or Buyer, upon written notice to the other Party, in the event that any final and non-appealable Law (including, without limitation, any court judgment or order) becomes effective that restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appeal any such Law which is appealable and pursue such appeal; provided, however, that neither Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(b) if such final and non-appealable Law resulted from such Party’s failure to fulfill in any material respect any obligation, agreement or covenant under this Agreement required to be fulfilled by such Party on or prior to the Closing Date;

(c)    By Buyer, upon written notice to Seller, if there has been a breach by the Seller Parties, such that of any of Buyer’s conditions to closing set forth in Section 8.01 are incapable of being satisfied (and Buyer is not then in breach of this Agreement);

(d)    By Seller, upon written notice to Buyer, if there has been a breach by Buyer, such that any of the Seller Parties’ conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.02 are incapable of being satisfied (and the Seller Parties are not then in breach of this Agreement);

(e)    By Seller or Buyer, upon written notice to the other Party, if the Real Estate Purchase Agreement has been terminated or is not consummated pursuant to the terms thereof or if the other Party or its Affiliate breaches any terms or conditions of the Real Estate Purchase Agreement prior to consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby; and

(f)    By Seller or Buyer if the Closing has not occurred by August 31, 2023.

Section 10.02.    Effect of Termination Prior to Closing.

(a)    The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01 shall give written notice of such termination to the other Parties in accordance with Section 12.02, specifying the provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is effected.

(b)    If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 10.01, then all further obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be terminated without further Liability of any Party to the other Party, except for the rights and obligations of the Parties in this Section 10.02 (Effect of Termination or Breach Prior to Closing), Article XI (Indemnification) and Article XII (Miscellaneous), each of which shall continue to apply following any such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as expressly set forth herein, termination of this Agreement shall not release any Party from any liability for any breach by such Party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement prior to such termination, and such other Party will be entitled to pursue any rights or remedies available at law or in equity with respect to any such breach.

(c)    If this Agreement is terminated by either Party, or, if applicable, both Parties, pursuant to Section 10.01(a) or (b), then both Parties shall be released from any liability to one another with respect to such termination and neither Party shall have any further liability as a result of such termination.

Section 11.01.    Indemnification of Buyer. From and after the Closing and subject to the limitations contained in this Article XI, the Seller Parties, jointly and severally, will indemnify Buyer, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, Representatives, Affiliates and successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) and hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless against all damages, losses, out-of-pocket expenses, Liabilities, deficiencies, obligations, judgments, interest, awards, penalties, fines, fees, costs to enforce indemnification or other damages, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and court costs, (collectively, “Damages”) that the Buyer Indemnified Parties have incurred arising out of:

(a)    any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by the Seller or on behalf of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement (other than any of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties);

(b)    any inaccuracy in or breach of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties;

(c)    any Indemnified Taxes;

(d)    any Damages arising out of the matters set forth on part (b) of Schedule 7.05;

(e)    any Damages arising from any Non-Assumed Contract that is not listed on Schedule 11.01, but only so long as none of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the

Acquired Companies) knowingly utilizes or benefits from such Non-Assumed Contract following the Closing;

(f)    any Damages arising from any Non-Assumed Contract that is listed on Schedule 11.01, but only so long as none of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) knowingly utilizes or benefits from such Non-Assumed Contract following the Closing;

(g)    any Damages arising from a Third Person Claim made pursuant to Section 11.06(b) arising out of or relating to the operation of the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing so long as such claim is not made at the direct or indirect solicitation or encouragement of any Buyer Indemnified Party;

(h)    any Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies, to the extent not paid in full at or prior to Closing;

(i)    obligations of the Company arising under the Lease that are accrued and unsatisfied as of the termination or expiration of the Lease;

(j)    any Damages arising out of any Actions set forth on the Schedules corresponding to Article IV, Article V and Section 9.01(h);

(k)    any Damages arising from breach of any Assumed Contracts that have accrued prior to Closing; and

(l)    any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Seller contained in this Agreement (other than as described in the foregoing parts of this Section 11.01).

Section 11.02.    Indemnification of Seller. From and after the Closing and subject to the limitations contained in this Article XI, Buyer will indemnify the Seller Parties, their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, Representatives, Affiliates and successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) and hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless against all Damages that the Seller Indemnified Parties have incurred arising out of: (a) the inaccuracy or breach of any representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in Article VI, (b) a breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (c) the operation of the Business and the Acquired Companies following the Closing.

Section 11.03.    Exclusive Remedies. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or otherwise, from and after the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article XI are the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and, to the extent permitted by Law, the Parties hereby waive all other rights, claims, remedies or actions with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, whether under any foreign, federal, state, provincial or local Laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, requirements or orders at common law or otherwise; provided that nothing in this Section 11.03 shall limit any Party’s right to seek and obtain any remedy to which such Party may be entitled pursuant to Section 12.11.

Section 11.04.    Survival. The right of a Person to make an indemnification claim pursuant to (a) Section 11.01(a), (e), (h), or (k) shall survive the Closing Date and will continue for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, at which time such right shall expire; (b) Section 11.01(b)-(d), (f), (i), (j), or (l) shall survive until 60 days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, at which time such right shall expire (each, as applicable, the

“Indemnification Claims Period”); (c) Section 11.01(g) shall survive the Closing Date and will continue for a period of (24) months following the Closing Date, provided, however, if Buyer or any Affiliate becomes aware of any facts that could rise to a valid Third Person Claim that is eligible for indemnification under Section 11.01(g) and Buyer notifies Seller of such facts in accordance with the indemnification procedures of Section 11.06 prior to the two (2) year anniversary following the Closing Date, Section 11.01(g) shall, only with respect to any Third Person Claims arising out of such facts, survive until 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. In the event a claim has been properly made on or prior to the expiration of the applicable Indemnification Claims Period, and such claim is unresolved as of the expiration of the Indemnification Claims Period, then the right to indemnification with respect to such claim shall remain in effect until such matter has been finally determined. Claims for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be made and resolved as provided in this Agreement, in the Escrow Agreement. It is the express intent of the Parties that if the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 11.04 is shorter or longer than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable thereto, then, by contract, the statute of limitations applicable hereto shall be reduced or extended, respectively, to the survival period set forth in this Section 11.04. The Parties further acknowledge that the survival periods set forth in this Section 11.04 are the result of arms’ length negotiation between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller Parties, on the other hand, and that Buyer and the Seller Parties intend for such survival period to be enforced as agreed by Buyer and the Seller Parties.

Section 11.05.    Certain Limitations.

(a)    The Seller Parties shall not be required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for those portions of any Damages that resulted from any breach of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement. No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be indemnified more than once for the same Damages.

(b)    The Seller Parties shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under (i) Section 11.01(a) for any single claim or series of claims arising out of substantially the same or the same type or nature of events, circumstances or underlying facts unless the amount of such claim or series of claims exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000).

(c)    Any amounts owed by the Seller Parties for indemnification under Section 11.01 shall be satisfied as follows: (i) first, as a payment by the Escrow Agent from the Escrow Fund; and (ii) after such Escrow Fund has been exhausted, second, directly against the Seller Parties, subject to, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), the other limitations in this Article XI.

(d)    In no event shall any Buyer Indemnified Party be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of, and in no event shall Damages for purposes of this Agreement (including amounts indemnifiable under Section 11.01) be deemed to include (i) any damages that are not reasonably foreseeable as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) liquidated damages, lost profits, lost revenue or punitive, special or exemplary damages and, in particular, damages calculated by “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or similar valuation methodology, except to the extent awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction to a Third Person in connection with a Third Person Claim.

(e)    Buyer shall (and shall cause its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies to) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain insurance proceeds, Tax benefits and other third party recoveries with respect to any claim for indemnification under this Article XI. Any indemnity payment made by the Seller Parties to any Buyer

Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article XI shall be reduced by an amount equal to any insurance proceeds, Tax benefits and other third party recoveries actually received by such indemnified party in respect of such claim minus the sum of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) relating to the recovery of such proceeds.

(f)    Each Party hereby agrees that it shall, and it shall, to the extent required by applicable Law, cause its Affiliates to, mitigate any Damages to be indemnified under this Article XI upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages that may be indemnifiable hereunder.

(g)    No information or knowledge acquired prior to the Effective Date, or investigations conducted, by Buyer or its representatives of the Acquired Companies, their respective Businesses, assets, Liabilities or otherwise, prior to the Effective Date, shall in any way limit, or constitute a waiver of, or a defense to, any claim for indemnification or other claim by Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party under this Agreement.

(h)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the sole recourse of any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to an indemnification claim arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated by the Real Estate Purchase Agreement (and any real or personal property purchased pursuant to such agreement) shall be the indemnification provisions set forth in the Real Estate Purchase Agreement.

Section 11.06.    Indemnification Procedures.

(a)    Any indemnified party seeking indemnification must give the indemnifying party prompt notice of the claim for Damages (i) stating in reasonable detail the basis on which indemnification is being asserted and the aggregate amount of the Damages or an estimate thereof, in each case to the extent known or determinable at such time, (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such Damages included in the amount so stated, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach or claim to which such item is related (to the extent known or determinable at such time), (iii) specifying the provision or provisions of this Agreement under which such Damages are asserted, and (iv) including copies of all relevant notices and documents (including court papers) served on or received by the indemnified party; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the indemnified party in notifying any indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party from any liability or obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the indemnifying party thereby is materially prejudiced by such failure to give timely notice.

(b)    If a Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) because of a claim asserted by any claimant (other than an indemnified person hereunder) (“Third Person”), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) reasonably prompt notice thereof after such assertion is actually known to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the right of a Person to be indemnified hereunder in respect of claims made by a Third Person shall not be adversely affected by a failure to give such notice unless, and then only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is actually irrevocably and materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right for a period of twenty (20) days from receipt of an indemnification claim from an Indemnified Party to provide written notice to the Indemnified Party that it is assuming responsibility for such claim (in accordance with and subject to the terms and limitations of this Agreement), and using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, agrees to investigate, contest or settle the claim

alleged by such Third Person (a “Third Person Claim”). Assuming the Indemnifying Party provides timely written notice of its assumption of responsibility (in accordance with and subject to the terms and limitations of this Agreement) for any Third Person Claim, the Indemnified Party may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Third Person Claim with its own counsel at its own expense, unless (i) separate representation is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, or (ii) such Third Person Claim involves criminal allegations or seeks material non-monetary relief, in which case the Indemnified Party (and not the Indemnifying Party) shall have the right, using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, to investigate, contest or settle the claim alleged by such Third Person, and such representation shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Unless and until the Indemnifying Party so acknowledges its obligation to indemnify (in accordance with and subject to the terms and limitations of this Agreement), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control defense of the matter and to look to the Indemnifying Party for the full amount of the reasonable costs of defense. The failure of the Indemnifying Party to respond in writing to the aforesaid notice of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Person Claim within 20 days after receipt thereof shall be deemed an irrevocable election not to defend the same. If the Indemnifying Party does not so acknowledge its obligation to indemnify and assume the defense of any such Third Person Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim using counsel of its choice, in such manner as it may reasonably deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such claim on such terms as the Indemnified Party may reasonably deem appropriate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the Parties shall make available to each other all relevant books, records and information in their possession relating to any such Third Person Claim and shall cooperate in the defense thereof; (ii) no Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to control any Third Person Claim with respect to Taxes if such Third Person Claim involves or includes Tax Returns or Taxes of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies); and (iii) to the extent the Indemnifying Party discovers during the course of its defense of a Third Person Claim that the facts of such Third Person Claim are not subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to provide indemnification to the Indemnified Party.

Section 11.07.    Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 12.01.    Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred.

Section 12.02.    Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given upon the earlier of actual receipt or (a) when delivered by hand providing proof of delivery; (b) on the next Business Day if transmitted by national overnight courier (with confirmation of delivery); or (c) on the date sent by email (provided that no “bounce back” or similar message of non-delivery is received with respect thereto). Such communications must be sent to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified by like notice):

Section 12.03.    Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) whenever the word “or” is used, it shall mean “and/or” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise; and (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. All references to “dollars” or “$” mean United States dollars. The Parties are each represented by legal counsel and 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 phrases “provided to Buyer” or “made available to Buyer” (and any similar phrases) shall mean the posting by Seller or its Representatives of the various materials, documents and information produced by or on behalf of Seller throughout Buyer’s due diligence review process to the virtual data room managed by Seller up until five (5) Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement.

The Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. The disclosure of any matter in the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be disclosed with respect to any other Section of the Disclosure Schedules as and to the extent that the relevance of such matter to such other Section is reasonably apparent on its face. The disclosure of any matter in the Disclosure Schedules is not to be treated as constituting or implying any representation, warranty, assurance or undertaking by the Seller Parties or the Acquired Companies not expressly set out in this Agreement, nor to be treated as adding to or extending the scope of any of Seller Parties’ or the Acquired Companies’ representations and warranties in this Agreement. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item or matter in any Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item or matter so included or other items or matters, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact that such amount, item or matter has been set forth in any Disclosure Schedule in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any amount, item or matter not described herein or included in any Disclosure Schedule is or is not material or is or is not in the ordinary course of business, in each case for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 12.04. Headings. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 12.05. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law or regulation, and if the rights or obligations of any Party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

Section 12.06.     Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the Ancillary Agreements, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

Section 12.07.     Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that Buyer may, without the prior written consent of Seller, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates or a newly formed entity that is

wholly-owned by Michel Sallin (or his Affiliates); provided, further, that such assignee shall be eligible to make the Section 338(h)(10) Election with respect to the purchase of the Acquired Securities. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 12.08.     No Third-party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article XI or with respect to Nonparty Affiliates pursuant to Section 12.14, this Agreement constitutes an agreement solely between the Parties hereto and is not intended to and will not confer any rights, remedies, obligations or Liabilities, legal or equitable, on any Person other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, or otherwise constitute any Person a third-party beneficiary under or by reason of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall constitute the Parties hereto partners or participants in a joint venture.

Section 12.09.     Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Buyer and Seller or a Representative of the Seller. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right or remedy arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
