(c) From Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Statement until the final determination of the Closing Working Capital in accordance with this Section 2.4, Buyer and the Company shall afford to Seller and its accountants reasonable access, during normal business hours (and at other times as may be mutually agreed), upon reasonable advance notice, to the books, tax and accounting records and the officers and other personnel of the Company who were involved in the preparation of the Closing Statement solely to permit Seller to verify the Closing Statement and to calculate the Closing Working Capital and Closing Indebtedness. The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement and the resulting calculation of Closing Working Capital and Closing Indebtedness and the Purchase Price resulting therefrom shall become final and binding upon the parties at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the thirtieth day following Seller’s receipt thereof (the “Objection Period”) unless Seller gives written notice of its disagreement (the “Objection Notice”) to Buyer prior to such date. The Objection Notice may only be based on a claim that the Closing Statement (or the components thereof) was not prepared in accordance, or is otherwise inconsistent, with the terms of this Agreement. The Objection Notice shall describe the nature of any such disagreement in reasonable detail, identify the specific items involved and the dollar amount of each such disagreement and provide reasonable supporting documentation for each such disagreement. After the delivery of the Objection Notice, any item not so identified shall be deemed to be agreed to by Seller and will be final and binding, and except to the extent that Seller makes a specific objection to a specific determination set forth on the Closing Statement pursuant to the Objection Notice delivered to Buyer within the Objection Period, the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Statement and the amounts contained therein shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties; provided, however, that if Seller delivers the Objection Notice to Buyer within the Objection Period, then Buyer shall have the right, within fifteen days after delivery of the Objection Notice, to modify the Closing Statement and to respond in writing to any matters that are the subject of the Objection Notice (such response, the “Revised Closing Statement”), and Seller shall have the right, within fifteen days after delivery of the Revised Closing Statement, to respond in writing to any items that were amended or otherwise modified in the Revised Closing Statement (such response, the “Revised Objection Notice”). Failure to provide a Revised Closing Statement or Revised Objection Notice shall not result in any waiver or loss of rights hereunder.

(d) If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve all disagreements identified by Seller pursuant to Section 2.4(c) within forty-five days (or, if Buyer delivers the Revised Closing Statement, within sixty days) after delivery to Buyer of the Objection Notice notwithstanding their good faith efforts to resolve such disagreements, then all unresolved disagreements shall be submitted for final and binding resolution to a Neutral Accounting Firm to resolve such disagreements (the “Accounting Arbitrator”). The Accounting Arbitrator shall only consider those items and amounts set forth in the Closing Statement or the Revised Closing Statement, as the case may be, as to which Buyer and Seller have disagreed within the time periods set forth in Section 2.4(c) and on the terms specified above. The Accounting Arbitrator must resolve the matter in

accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Accounting Arbitrator shall deliver to Buyer and Seller, as promptly as practicable and in any event within thirty days after its appointment (unless Buyer and Seller mutually agree in writing to extend such period), a written report setting forth the resolution of any such disagreement determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the resulting computation of the Closing Working Capital and Closing Indebtedness. The Accounting Arbitrator shall not assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand. The Accounting Arbitrator shall make its determination based on presentations and supporting material provided by the Parties and, at its election, pursuant to responses provided by the Parties to inquiries posed by the Accounting Arbitrator based on such presentations and supporting material but not pursuant to its independent review. The determination of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be final and binding. The Closing Working Capital and Closing Indebtedness as determined by the Accounting Arbitrator will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties and will constitute the Closing Working Capital and Closing Indebtedness for all purposes of this Section 2.4. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be borne by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, on the basis of a determination by the Accounting Arbitrator as to which Party was least correct (in net dollar terms) in its determination of the disputed items.

(e) As promptly as practicable and in all cases, within two Business Days (i) if no Objection Notice is delivered, after the Objection Period has expired, or (ii) if an Objection Notice is delivered, after all disputes are finally resolved pursuant to Section 2.4(d), (A) Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by Buyer to Seller in writing at least two Business Days prior to the date of expiration of the Objection Period or the date on which all disputes are finally resolved pursuant to Section 2.4(d), as applicable, or (B) Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Purchase Price is less than the Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Accounts.

Section 2.5 Allocation. As soon as practicable, but no later than thirty days after the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall jointly prepare an allocation of the Estimated Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Company existing immediately prior to the Closing among the assets of the Company, based on the fair market value of such assets immediately prior to the Closing, including any allocation to any covenants entered into in connection with this Agreement (the “Allocation”). The Allocation shall be consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and any analogous provisions of state, local or foreign Law. Promptly after obtaining the Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.4, Buyer and Seller shall update the Allocation to reflect any adjustments in a manner consistent with past preparation of the Allocation. If any further adjustment is subsequently made to the Purchase Price or other relevant items Buyer and Seller will cooperate with each other to promptly amend the Allocation to reflect such adjustment. The Allocation (as so adjusted) shall be binding on Buyer, the Company, Seller and each of their respective Affiliates for all purposes, including for Tax and financial accounting purposes. Buyer, the Company, Seller and each of their respective Affiliates shall report, act, and file Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue

Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Allocation. Neither Buyer nor Seller nor their respective Affiliates shall take any position on any Tax Return, before any Governmental Authority or in any judicial proceeding that is inconsistent with the Allocation. If Buyer and Seller do not reach a written agreement as to the Allocation prior to the forty-fifth day after the Closing Date or, with respect to any revision of the Allocation, within a reasonable period of time (which shall be presumed to be forty-five days), then either Buyer or Seller may by notice to the other submit to the Accounting Arbitrator for determination of the Allocation in accordance with the procedural principles of Section 2.4(d) (including as to how the fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator are to be borne) and this Section 2.5.

In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) each Business Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in each New Plan; and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Business Employee, Buyer shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Business Employee and his or her covered dependents, and Buyer shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Business Employee and his or her covered dependents under any Seller Benefit Plan or other New Plan during the portion of the plan year ending on the date such Business Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Business Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(d) Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall cause any current or former Business Employee or employee, officer, manager, director or contractor of the Company (including, in each case, any of their eligible dependants or other beneficiaries) to be a third party beneficiary of, or have any right or claim under, this Agreement or to be interpreted as an amendment of any benefit and compensation plans, programs, agreements and arrangements of the Buyer or Seller.

Section 8.3 Change of Name. Except as set forth in the Transitional Trademark License Agreement, within three Business Days following the Closing, the Company shall change the corporate name of the Company to remove “MediMedia” from its corporate name, and, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Affiliates (including the Company) or authorize any other Person to, use the trade name “MediMedia,” or any trade names similar thereto or derived therefrom, in any manner (including as a company name or d/b/a/, in any of its literature, sales materials or in connection with any products or services or otherwise).

Section 8.4 Tax Matters.

(a) Buyer, the Company and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party(ies), in connection with any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s(ies’) request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company and Seller agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority.

(b) Any real property transfer or gains, stamp, stock transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and other such similar Taxes, together with all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges, incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), including any penalties or interest with respect thereto, shall be borne 50 percent by Buyer and 50 percent by Seller. Any Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with such Transfer Taxes shall be filed by the Party that customarily has primary responsibility for filing such Tax Returns pursuant to applicable Tax Laws. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate in the filing of any returns with respect to Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in their possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns.

(c) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not comply with the provisions of any bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Seller shall be liable for and shall pay all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) of the Company for periods (or portions thereof) ending prior to the Closing Date (including any Taxes arising solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than any Taxes addressed by Section 8.4(b)), except to the extent such Taxes are reflected in Working Capital. Buyer shall be liable for and shall pay all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) of the Company for periods (or portions thereof) beginning on or after the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 8.4(d), any period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date will be treated as two partial periods, one ending on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and the other beginning on the Closing Date, except that Taxes (such as property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis will be allocated on a daily basis.

(e) Seller will not at any time take any action that would result in the Company being treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that any deductions for federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes attributable to the bonuses payable by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be allocated to the period of Seller’s ownership of the Securities.

Section 8.5 Nonsolicitation; Noncompetition; Enforcement.

(a) For a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date which is two years following the Closing Date (such period, the “Restricted Period”), (i) Buyer and the Company will not, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries not to, and (ii) Seller will not, and will cause each of its Affiliates not to, recruit, solicit or lure or entice away any Person who is an employee of (A) in the case of Buyer or the Company, Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, or (B) in the case of Seller, Buyer or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Party or Affiliate thereof that employs such Person; provided, however, the foregoing restriction shall not apply to the placement of a job posting and advertisements not directed to any particular Person in journals or general circulation or in otherwise publicly available sources such as the Internet.

(b) During the Restricted Period, Seller will not, and will cause each of MediMedia USA, Inc., MMUSA Acquisition Corp. and MMUSA Acquisition LLC, and their respective Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Seller Restricted Parties”), not to, engage in or own any interest in a business that engages in the Company Business; provided, however, that Buyer acknowledges that it understands that the Seller Restricted Parties will, during the Restrictive Period, provide services to or receive services from Persons that may be engaged in the Company Business and in no event shall the providing or receiving of any such services in and of itself be deemed to be a violation of this Section 8.5(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.5(b), the Seller Restricted Parties may, during the Restrictive Period own an interest of less than 5 percent of the voting securities of any publicly traded company.

(d) If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (each, a “Court”) declares that any term or provision of this Section 8.5 is invalid or unenforceable, then the Parties agree that such Court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, (i) each Party may pursue, at its discretion, enforcement of this Section 8.5 in any Court, and (ii) in no event shall any Party be held liable for any other Party’s legal fees or costs in pursuit of such claim, unless there is a final determination by such Court that the Party pursuing such claim acted in manifest bad faith.

(f) The Parties agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Section 8.5, and any breach of the terms of this Section 8.5 would result in irreparable injury and damage for which no Party would have an adequate remedy at Law. Therefore, in the event of a breach or a threatened breach of this Section 8.5, each Party, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor at Law or in equity, shall be entitled to specific performance or immediate injunctive or other equitable relief from a Court in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of this Section 8.5 (without posting a bond or other security), without having to prove damages. The terms of this Section 8.5 shall not prevent any Party from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.6 Business Confidential Information

(a) Seller acknowledges and agrees that the books, records, data and other documents and confidential information concerning the Company Business and/or the products, services, customer development information (including customer and prospect lists), sales activities and procedures, promotional and marketing techniques, pricing, plans and strategies, financing, development and expansion plans and credit and financial data concerning customers and suppliers and other information of or to the extent relating primarily to the Company Business are considered by Buyer to be confidential, and in some cases, are in the nature of trade secrets, and are valuable assets of the Company Business, access to and knowledge of which are essential to preserve the goodwill, customer relationships and ongoing business relationships of the Company Business for the benefit of Buyer. Seller further agrees that all knowledge and information described in the preceding sentence that is not in the public domain (unless such knowledge and information is in the public domain as a result of a breach of this or any other confidentiality agreement by Seller or any of its Affiliates) shall be considered confidential information (collectively, the “Business Confidential Information”). For the avoidance of doubt, the term Business Confidential Information shall not include information to the extent it (i) does not relate to the Company Business, (ii) becomes

available to Seller or any of its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Buyer; provided that to Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ knowledge such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with or similar obligation to Buyer or the Company with respect to such information, (iii) is independently developed by Seller or any of its Affiliates under circumstances not involving a breach of this Section 8.6, or (iv) is publicly disclosed pursuant to a lawful requirement or request from a Governmental Authority acting within its jurisdiction, or non-confidential disclosure is otherwise required by law or regulation.

(b) Seller hereby agrees that following the Closing Date it shall hold the Business Confidential Information in confidence and not use or disclosure or cause or permit to be used or disclosed any of the Business Confidential Information for any reason or purpose whatsoever, except and to the extent any disclosure of Business Confidential Information is required by law or regulation or appropriate court order and sufficient advance written notice thereof, if legally permitted, is provided to Buyer to permit Buyer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall expire on the fifth anniversary of the Closing.

Section 8.7 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any Party and at such 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 or other actions as the requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

Section 9.1 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

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

(b) by Buyer, if there has been a breach by Seller or the Company of any covenant, representation or warranty of Seller or the Company contained in this Agreement which would prevent the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of Buyer at the Closing and such inaccuracy or breach has not been waived by Buyer or, in the case of a covenant breach capable of being cured, cured by the Company or Seller within the earlier of twenty days after written notice thereof from Buyer to Seller or the Outside Date, provided that Buyer is not then in material default or material breach of any of its covenants, representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement;

(c) by the Company, if there has been a breach by Buyer of any covenant, representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement which would prevent the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of the Company at the Closing and such inaccuracy or breach has not been waived by the Company or, in the case of a covenant breach capable of being cured, cured by Buyer within the earlier of twenty days

after written notice thereof from the Company to Buyer or the Outside Date, provided that Seller is not then in material default or material breach of any of its covenants, representations, warranties or agreements set forth in this Agreement;

(d) by either the Company or Buyer if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a nonappealable final judgment, order, decree or similar ruling or taken any other nonappealable final action, in each case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or

(e) by Buyer or Seller, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the date hereof, unless extended by written agreement of Buyer and Seller (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (e) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation of such Party under this Agreement, whether directly or indirectly, has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date, provided, further, that such period will be extended for sixty additional days to the extent necessary to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 3.1(a) (except in circumstances contemplated by clause (d) hereof.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) If Buyer or Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, written notice thereof shall immediately be provided to the other Party, and this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall become null and void and of no further force and effect (except that Section 7.4(b), this Article IX and Article X shall survive any such termination), and no Party shall have any liability to any other Party hereunder except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(b) If this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are terminated as provided herein, all confidential or proprietary information received by Buyer, its directors, officers, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives or advisors with respect to Seller, the Company, their respective Subsidiaries and other Affiliates or the Company Business shall be treated for all purposes (including with respect to the return or destruction of such information) in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect in all respects notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Nothing in this Article IX shall be deemed to (i) relieve any Party from any liability for any breach by such Party occurring prior to any termination of this Agreement of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or (ii) impair the right of any Party to compel specific performance by any other Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1 Limited Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall indemnify and hold the Buyer Parties harmless from and pay, without duplication, any and all Losses, directly or indirectly, resulting from, relating to, arising out of, or attributable to any of the following:

(a) The failure of any Fundamental Representation to be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as if made anew as of such date;

(b) Any breach of any covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing; and

Section 10.2 Indemnification Claim Procedures

(a) If any third party notified any Buyer Party with respect to the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, hearing, investigation or similar event that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against Seller hereunder (an “Indemnification Claim”), then the Buyer Party will promptly give notice to Seller. Failure to notify Seller will not relieve Seller of any obligation that it may have to the Buyer Party, except to the extent that the defense of such action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, hearing, investigation or similar event is materially and irrevocably prejudiced by the Buyer Party’s failure to give such notice.

(b) Seller shall have the right to defend against an Indemnification Claim, with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer Party, if (i) within 10 days following the receipt of notice of the Indemnification Claim Seller notifies the Buyer Party in writing that Seller will indemnify the Buyer Party from and against the entirety of any Losses the Buyer Party may suffer resulting from, relating to, arising out of, or attributable to the Indemnification Claim, (ii) Seller provides the Buyer Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Buyer Party that Seller will have the financial resources to defend against the Indemnification Claim and pay, in cash, all Losses the Buyer Party may suffer resulting from, relating to, arising out of, or attributable to the Indemnification Claim, (iii) the Indemnification Claim involves only money Losses and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Indemnification Claim is not in the good faith judgment of the Buyer Party likely to establish a precedential custom or practice material and adverse to the continuing business interests of the Buyer Party, and (v) Seller conducts the defense of the Indemnification Claim actively and diligently. Seller will be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel employed by the Buyer Party for any period during which Seller has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in

which the Buyer Party will have failed to give notice of the Indemnification Claim as provided above).

(c) So long as Seller is conducting the defense of the Indemnification Claim in accordance with Section 10.2(b), (i) the Buyer Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Indemnification Claim, (ii) the Buyer Party will not consent to the entry of any order with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of Seller (not to be withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably), and (iii) Seller will not consent to the entry of any order with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Buyer Party (not to be withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably, provided that it will not be deemed to be unreasonable for an Buyer Party to withhold its consent (A) with respect to any finding of or admission (1) of any breach of any Law, (2) of any violation of the rights of any Person, or (3) which Buyer Party believes could have a material and adverse effect on any other actions to which the Buyer Party or its Affiliates are a party or to which Buyer Party has a good faith belief it may become a party, or (B) if any portion of such order would not remain sealed).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Buyer Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an Indemnification Claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Buyer Party may, by notice to Seller, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Indemnification Claim, but Seller will not be bound by any determination of any Indemnification Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(e) Seller hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Governmental Authority, arbitrator, or mediator in which an action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, hearing, investigation or similar event is brought against any Buyer Party for purposes of any Indemnification Claim that a Buyer Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, hearing, investigation or similar event or the matters alleged therein, and agrees that process may be served on Seller with respect to such claim anywhere in the world.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by means of telecopied or emailed signature pages), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one Party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 11.12 Governing Law. ALL MATTERS RELATING TO THE INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOMESTIC LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE

APPLICATION OF LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 11.13 Dispute Resolution. The Parties hereby agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.13. All arbitration shall be finally and conclusively determined by the decision of a board of arbitration consisting of three members (the “Board of Arbitration”) selected as hereinafter provided. Each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller or the Company, on the other hand, shall select one member and the third member shall be a retired judge selected by mutual agreement of the other members, or if the other members fail to reach agreement on a third member within 20 days after their selection, such third member, who shall be a retired judge, shall thereafter be selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) upon application made to it for a third member jointly by Buyer and Seller or the Company, as applicable. The Board of Arbitration shall meet in New York, New York, and shall reach and render a decision in writing (concurred in by a majority of the members of the Board of Arbitration) specifying its finding of fact and conclusions of law. In connection with its proceedings, the Board of Arbitration shall follow the AAA Commercial Arbitration rules; provided, however, that if there is any conflict between the procedures set forth herein and the AAA rules, the provisions herein shall control.

Except in the case of fraud, no breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of Buyer or Seller, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.16 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, Buyer agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall

Section 11.17 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EACH HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (b) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 11.18 Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that Kirkland & Ellis LLP has acted as legal counsel to Seller, the Company and their respective Affiliates prior to the Closing and that Kirkland & Ellis LLP intends to act as legal counsel to Seller and its Affiliates (which will no longer include the Company) after the Closing, each of Buyer and the Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Kirkland & Ellis LLP representing Seller or its Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Buyer, the Company or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between Seller, the Company and their respective Affiliates and Kirkland & Ellis LLP in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Company). Accordingly, the Company shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Kirkland & Ellis LLP relating to engagement, from and after the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (a) Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Company) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and the Company shall not be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Kirkland & Ellis LLP in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Company) shall hold such property rights and (c) Kirkland & Ellis LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such
