(b)         Seller shall complete its review of the Closing Statement within 30 days after delivery thereof by Buyer.  In the event that Seller determines that the Closing Statement has not been prepared on the basis set forth in Section 2.5(a), Seller shall, on or before the last day of such 30-day period, so inform Buyer in writing (the “Seller’s Objection”), setting forth a specific description of the basis of Seller’s determination and the adjustments to the Closing Statement and the corresponding adjustments to the Closing Working Capital that Seller believes should be made.  If no Seller’s Objection is received by Buyer on or before the last day of such 30-day period, then the Closing Working Capital set forth on the Closing Statement delivered by Seller shall be final.  Buyer shall have 30 days from its receipt of Seller’s Objection to review and respond to Seller’s Objection.

(c)          If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the proposed adjustments set forth in Seller’s Objection within 30 days following the completion of Buyer’s review of Seller’s Objection, they shall refer any remaining disagreements with respect to matters set forth in Seller’s Objection to the CPA Firm which, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall determine, on the basis set forth in and in accordance with Section 2.5(a), and only with respect to the remaining differences so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Statement and the Closing Working Capital require adjustment.  Buyer and Seller shall instruct the CPA Firm to deliver its written determination to Buyer and Seller no later than 30 days after the remaining differences underlying Seller’s Objection are referred to the CPA Firm.  In making such determination, the CPA Firm shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Buyer or Seller, or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Buyer or Seller.  The CPA Firm’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Buyer and Seller and their respective Affiliates.  The fees and disbursements of the CPA Firm shall be borne

27

by Seller if the CPA Firm rules against a majority (by dollar value) of the items set forth in Seller’s Objection that are submitted to the CPA Firm and by Buyer if the CPA Firm rules in favor of a majority (by dollar value) of the items set forth in Seller’s Objection that are submitted to the CPA Firm.  Buyer and Seller shall make readily available to the CPA Firm all relevant books and records and any work papers (including those of their respective accountants, to the extent permitted by such accountants) relating to the Closing Statement and Seller’s Objection and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm in connection therewith, and may submit such additional data and information to the CPA Firm as each deems appropriate.

(d)         Buyer and the Companies shall provide to Seller and its accountants full access to the books and records of the Business and to any other information, including work papers of its accountants (to the extent permitted by such accountants), and to any employees during regular business hours and on reasonable advance notice, to the extent necessary for Seller to review the Closing Statement and prepare materials for the CPA Firm in connection with Section 2.5(c).

(e)          An amount equal to (A) the Reference Closing Working Capital, minus (B) the Closing Working Capital (as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.5, if applicable), expressed as a positive, if positive, or as a negative, if negative, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Working Capital True-Up Amount.”  Subject to Section 2.5(f), if the Working Capital True-Up Amount is a negative number, then Opco shall pay to Seller (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the Working Capital True-Up Amount, and if the Working Capital True-Up Amount is a positive number, then Seller shall pay to Opco (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) an amount in cash equal to the value of the Working Capital True-Up Amount.

(f)            If the amount that would otherwise constitute a Reference Working Capital Adjustment Amount or a Working Capital True-Up Amount is equal to or less than $250,000, no payment shall be made, except that any such amounts in respect of any accrued interest under the Notes as of the Closing shall be payable regardless of the limitation set forth in this Section 2.5(f).

(g)         Within a reasonable time following each Transfer Date, Seller shall provide Opco with a cash payment equal to the aggregate vacation accrual of the Transferred Employees who become employees of Opco as of such Transfer Date; it being understood that if as of the last to occur of such Transfer Dates, the aggregate cash payment in respect of such vacation accruals would not have been payable as a result of Section 2.5(f) if it had been included in the Working Capital True-Up Amount, such payment shall not be made.

Section 2.6                                      Closing.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Closing shall take place at the offices of Seller on June 30, 2009 immediately following the execution hereof but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1,

Section 2.10                                Nonassignability of Assets.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that the sale, assignment, sublease, transfer, conveyance or delivery or attempted sale, sublease, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery to the Companies of any asset (other than an Applicable Contract) that would be a Transferred Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom is prohibited by any applicable Law or would require any governmental or third-party authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers, and such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, the Closing shall proceed without the sale, assignment, sublease, transfer, conveyance or delivery of such asset unless such failure causes a failure of any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VI, in which event the Closing shall proceed only if the failed condition is waived by the Party (or Parties, as applicable) entitled to the benefit thereof.  In the event that the Closing proceeds without the transfer, sublease or assignment of any such asset (other than an Applicable Contract) that would be a Transferred Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, then following the Closing, the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts, and cooperate with

31

each other, to obtain promptly such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers; provided, however, that none of the parties hereto or any of their Affiliates shall be required to pay any consideration therefor other than filing, recordation or similar fees, which shall be shared equally by Seller and Buyer.  Pending such authorization, approval, consent or waiver, the parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to the Companies the benefits of use of such asset and to Seller or its Affiliates the benefits, including any indemnities, that they would have obtained had the asset been conveyed to the Companies at the Closing.  Once authorization, approval, consent or waiver for the sale, assignment, sublease, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such asset not sold, assigned, subleased, transferred, conveyed or delivered at the Closing is obtained, Seller shall or shall cause its relevant Affiliates to, assign, transfer, convey and deliver such asset to the Companies at no additional cost.  Subject to the Transition Plan and the Transition Service Agreement, to the extent that, within 90 days of the Closing Date, it is determined by Seller, with the consent of Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, that any such asset cannot be transferred or the full benefits of use of any such asset cannot be provided to the Companies following the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.10, then Seller and the Companies shall enter into such arrangements (including subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to the parties hereto the economic (taking into account Tax costs and benefits) and operational equivalent, to the extent permitted, of obtaining such authorization, approval, consent or waiver and the performance by the Companies of the obligations thereunder, and upon the entering into of such arrangement by Seller and the Companies, such asset shall no longer be determined to be a Transferred Asset.  Seller shall hold in trust for and pay to the Companies promptly upon receipt thereof, all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with its use of any asset (net of any Taxes and any other costs imposed upon Seller or any of its Affiliates) in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.10.

Section 2.11                                Transferred Contracts Adjustment.

(a)          Subject to the Sub-Basket and the Cap, as applicable, if, prior to obtaining the consent of the applicable counterparty to a Merchant Contract or Financial/EFT Contract included in the Transferred Contracts (each, an “Applicable Contract”) to the transfer of such Applicable Contract to the Companies in connection with the Transactions, at any time between the date hereof through the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Date”) (i) such Applicable Contract is terminated by the counterparty thereto for any reason, (ii) such counterparty thereto notifies Seller or the Companies that it will terminate such Applicable Contract for any reason or (iii) such counterparty thereto initiates a proposed renegotiation of such Applicable Contract prior to the expiration of its existing term and the counterparty to such Applicable Contract subsequently agrees no later than 18 months after the Closing Date upon an amendment or modification to such Applicable Contract that reduces its existing term, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iii), where the effective date of such termination or expiration or proposed termination or expiration is prior to the original termination or expiration date of such Applicable Contract, then the Purchase Consideration shall be adjusted and the Notes shall be repaid in the proportion set forth in Section 2.11(c) for each such Applicable Contract by an aggregate amount equal to:

32

(i)                                                             (1) 8.2, times (2) 2008 Net Revenues, times (3) (x) the Merchant Percentage (if such Applicable Contract is a Merchant Contract) or (y) the Financial/EFT Percentage (if such Applicable Contract is a Financial/EFT Contract), minus

(ii)                                                          Any liquidated damages or similar payments received by the Companies with respect to such termination or proposed termination of such Applicable Contract (such calculated amount, the “Applicable Termination Price Adjustment”).

(b)         Subject to the Sub-Basket and the Cap, as applicable, if, prior to obtaining the consent of the applicable counterparty to an Applicable Contract to the transfer of such Applicable Contract to the Companies in connection with the Transactions, at any time between the date hereof through the Adjustment Date such counterparty initiates a proposed renegotiation of such Applicable Contract prior to the expiration of its existing term and the counterparty to such Applicable Contract subsequently agrees upon an amendment or modification to such Applicable Contract (other than an amendment or modification that reduces its term, in which case, Section 2.11(a) applies and this Section 2.11(b) does not apply) prior to the expiration of its term and no later than 18 months after the Closing Date (the “Reference Date”), then the Purchase Consideration shall be adjusted and the Notes shall be repaid in the proportion set forth in Section 2.11(c) for each such Applicable Contract by an aggregate amount equal to:

(i)                                                             8.2, times

(ii)                                                          an amount equal to (1) the 2008 Net Revenues, minus (2) the product of (A) the 2008 Net Revenues, times a fraction of which the numerator shall be the per unit pricing as a result of such modification or amendment and the denominator shall be the average per unit price pursuant to such Applicable Contract for the calendar year 2008 (it being understood that the Applicable Renegotiation Price Adjustment shall be zero if such fraction is one or greater), times

(iii)                                                       a fraction of which the numerator shall be the remaining term of such Applicable Contract prior to such modification or amendment and the denominator shall be the term of such contract as a result of such modification or amendment (such calculated amount, the “Applicable Renegotiation Price Adjustment”).

(c)          The aggregate Applicable Termination Price Adjustments and Applicable Renegotiation Adjustments (the “Aggregate Price Adjustment”) shall be effected (i) at the Closing with respect to any Aggregate Price Adjustments that, to the Seller’s Knowledge, can be determined at such time, (ii) on the Adjustment Date with respect to any additional Aggregate Price Adjustments that, to the Seller’s Knowledge, can be determined at such time and (iii) no later than 30 days after the Reference Date with respect to any remaining Aggregate Price Adjustments, in any such case, through (x) a payment from Seller to Opco of an amount in cash (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to 45% of the Aggregate Price Adjustment and (y) a repayment by Seller on behalf of Opco of the B Note by an

33

amount equal to 55% of the Aggregate Price Adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the repayment to be made pursuant to clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence exceeds the then-outstanding principal of the B Note (such excess, the “Adjustment Shortfall”), then Seller shall make a repayment on behalf of Opco of the A Note by an amount equal to the Adjustment Shortfall.

(d)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, there shall be no payment to Buyer or reduction in the principal of the A Note or the B Note, as applicable, with respect to the Aggregate Price Adjustment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) to the extent that the Aggregate Price Adjustment is less than $10 million.

(e)          Subject to the Sub-Basket and the Cap, as applicable, if, prior to obtaining the consent of the applicable counterparty to an Applicable Contract to the Transaction, at any time between the date hereof through the Adjustment Date such counterparty requires as a condition to its consent the payment of a fee, then Seller shall pay such fee to such counterparty (any such payments, the “Consent Payments”); provided, however, that Seller shall not make, or agree to make, any Consent Payments to any third party in excess of the total amount reimbursable to Opco hereunder, unless such excess amount does not count against the Sub-Basket and/or decrease the Cap, as applicable.

(f)            The aggregate amount of any Applicable Termination Price Adjustment, any Applicable Renegotiation Price Adjustment and any Consent Payments shall decrease the Sub-Basket on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and any such amounts in excess of the Sub-Basket shall reduce the Cap on a dollar-for-dollar basis.  No Applicable Termination Price Adjustment or Applicable Renegotiation Price Adjustment shall be made in excess of the then-applicable Cap.

Section 2.12                                Asset Identification Process.  During the period between the date hereof and the Transition Plan Start Date, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in good faith and use reasonable best efforts to more specifically identify with respect to all of the assets other than the assets set forth on Schedule 2.12 (which reflects assets that definitively will be Transferred Assets) (i) those assets that are required for, primarily related to, or primarily used, held for use, or were acquired or developed for use, in the Business, as currently conducted and proposed to be conducted by Seller and its Affiliates and the manner in which such assets will be transferred to, or rights to use such assets will be obtained for, Opco, (ii) those assets (other than those that are the subject of clause (i) of this Section 2.12) that are related to, or used, held for use, or were acquired or developed for use, in the Business as currently conducted and proposed to be conducted by Seller and its Affiliates , which shall be obtained by Opco with the use of the Transition Infrastructure Contribution, (iii) those assets that should be included in clause (i) of this Section 2.12 but are to be temporarily retained by Seller to enable Seller to provide the services under the Transition Service Agreement and subsequently transferred to Opco at the conclusion of such services, and (iv) those assets that should be included in clause (i) of this Section 2.12 but will remain Excluded Assets, but as to which Seller, at its sole expense, will procure an asset comparable in all respects for Opco in accordance with the Transition Plan (the “Asset Identification Process”).  Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly

34

execute, acknowledge and deliver any assurances or documents or instruments of transfer reasonably requested by another Party in accordance with Asset Identification Process.  The Parties agree that, in the event any dispute arises in connection with the Asset Identification Process, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution process described under the heading “Dispute Resolution” in Schedule 5.3(b), and such resolution shall be final and binding on the Parties.

Section 5.5             Employee and Benefits Matters.  (a)  Offers of Employment.  Prior to the End Date (as defined in Exhibit A to the Transition Service Agreement), Opco shall make a written offer of employment to each Applicable Employee, effective upon the Transfer Date, (as defined below), which offer shall (i) be at salary or hourly wage rates (as the case may be) not less than the salary or wage rates received by the Applicable Employees immediately prior to the Transfer Date, (ii) provide an annual incentive compensation opportunity that is comparable to the Applicable Employee’s annual incentive compensation opportunity immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided that the performance metrics applicable to any such annual incentive compensation opportunity provided after the Closing Date may be adjusted by Opco in its sole discretion, and (iii) be for employment at the same work location (or within 30 miles of such location) and in the same or substantially similar positions and with similar duties to the positions held by, and the duties performed by, the Applicable Employees immediately prior to the Transfer Date.  For purposes of this Agreement, each of the Applicable Employees who affirmatively accepts Opco’s offer of employment and commences working for Opco on or after the Closing Date shall become a “Transferred Employee” on the latest of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the first Business Day following the End Date (subject to continued employment), or (iii) if such Applicable Employee is identified on Schedule 5.5(a)(ii) as on disability (long term or short term) or on leave of absence (each such Applicable Employee, an “Absent Employee”) and, as applicable, has not returned to active employment prior to the End Date, the date on which such individual returns to active employment (provided such individual must return to active employment within six months of the Closing Date, otherwise such individual’s offer of employment will automatically expire).  Without limiting the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, the “Transfer Date” shall mean the date on which an Applicable Employee becomes a Transferred Employee in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.  Effective as of the first Business Day following the End Date, Opco agrees that the Applicable Employees identified on Schedule 5.5(a)(iii) as being necessary for Seller’s performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement or the Transition Service Agreement (each such Applicable Employee, a “Necessary Employee”), shall be made available to Seller at the sole expense of Opco until such time as such Necessary Employee is no longer necessary for Seller to satisfy such obligations under the Transition Service Agreement.  All such offers of employment pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) will be for employment-at-will, and Opco may terminate any Transferred Employee at any time and for any reason following the applicable Transfer Date.

(b)   Employee Benefits; Crediting of Service.  On and after their applicable Transfer Dates and until the first anniversary of the Closing, Opco shall make available to Transferred Employees (and their eligible spouses, dependents and beneficiaries) defined contribution pension and welfare benefits that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the defined contribution pension and

65

welfare benefits provided to Transferred Employees (and, as applicable, their eligible spouses, dependents and beneficiaries) under Seller’s or its Affiliates’ Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Closing Date without limitations based upon pre-existing conditions (and the amount of year-to-date deductibles incurred by Transferred Employees prior to their applicable Transfer Dates under Seller’s or its Affiliates’ Benefit Plans shall be credited toward satisfaction of deductibles under the employee benefits and compensation plans, programs and arrangements sponsored or maintained by Opco (the “Company Plans”) for the year in which the Transfer Date occurs); provided, however, any Benefit Plan which is an equity-based plan, stock purchase plan, defined benefit pension plan, or retiree health and welfare plan shall be excluded for purposes of comparability.  Opco shall ensure that the Company Plans grant full credit for all service or employment with, or recognized by, Seller and its Affiliates for purposes of eligibility, participation and vesting with respect to any Company Plan (but not benefit accrual) that is an “employee pension benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, and, for purposes of eligibility, participation and determining the amount of any benefit with respect to any Company Plan that is a vacation or other program that is affected by seniority and any Company Plan that is an “employee welfare benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA, including any severance plan or sick plan; provided, that Opco’s vacation plan shall be able to offset, for the year in which the Transfer Date occurs, the vacation credited to the Transferred Employees pursuant to Section 5.5(d).

(c)   Welfare Benefits Generally.  (i)  Seller shall be solely responsible for:  (A) claims for the type of benefits described in Section 3(1) of ERISA (whether or not covered by ERISA) (“Welfare Benefits”) and for workers’ compensation, in each case that are incurred by or with respect to any Transferred Employee or his or her spouse, dependent or beneficiary before the applicable Transfer Date, regardless of whether such claims are made and/or identified prior to or after the Transfer Date; (B) claims for Welfare Benefits and for workers’ compensation, in each case that are incurred by or with respect to any Applicable Employee (or his or her spouse, dependent or beneficiary) who does not become a Transferred Employee, whether incurred before, on or after the Closing Date and (C) claims relating to COBRA Coverage attributable to “qualifying events” occurring before or on the Transfer Date, and all claims relating to COBRA Coverage attributable to “qualifying events” with respect to any Applicable Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee and his or her eligible beneficiaries and dependents occurring before, on, or after the Transfer Date; and (ii) the Companies shall be solely responsible for: (A) claims for Welfare Benefits and for workers compensation, in each case that are incurred by or with respect to any Transferred Employee on or after the applicable Transfer Date (except to the extent the Transferred Employee or any beneficiary or dependent thereof has elected COBRA Coverage under Seller’s Welfare Benefits plans) and (B) claims relating to COBRA Coverage attributable to “qualifying events” with respect to any Transferred Employee and his or her eligible beneficiaries and dependents that occur after the applicable Transfer Date; it being understood by both parties that any such liability incurred by Seller after the Closing Date with respect to an Applicable Employee

66

shall be reimbursed by Opco to Seller to the extent provided in the Transition Service Agreement.  For purposes of the foregoing, a medical/dental claim shall be considered incurred when the services are rendered, the supplies are provided or medication is prescribed, and not when the condition arose.  A disability or workers’ compensation claim shall be considered incurred on or before the applicable Transfer Date if the injury or condition giving rise to the claim occurs on or before such date.

(d)   Vacation.  Opco shall ensure that its vacation policy grants full credit for purposes of eligibility, participation and determining the amount of any accrued vacation benefits to which any Transferred Employee is entitled pursuant to the vacation policy applicable to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. Opco shall assume the liability for accrued vacation with respect to any Transferred Employee as of the Transfer Date of such Transferred Employee and allow such Transferred Employee to use such accrued vacation following the Transfer Date.  Seller shall retain all liability with respect to any accrued vacation time to which any Applicable Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee is entitled pursuant to the applicable vacation policy applicable to such Applicable Employee.

(e)   401(k) Plan.  Seller shall effectuate a trust-to-trust transfer of the account balances of Transferred Employees (whether vested or unvested) under any plan that is intended to be a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan (collectively, the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) to a plan established by Opco for the benefit of the Transferred Employees that is intended to be a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan (the “Opco 401(k) Plan”).  As soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but no later than thirty (30) days after the End Date) Seller shall cause the trustee of the Seller 401(k) Plan to value the account of each Transferred Employee who participates in the Seller 401(k) Plan pursuant to the terms of such plan.  As of such valuation date, Seller shall cause the trustee of the Seller 401(k) Plan to transfer assets equal in value to the amount credited to each such Transferred Employee’s account under the Seller 401(k) Plan to the trust maintained under the Opco 401(k) Plan.  Such transferred assets shall be in cash or other property as determined by Seller with the consent of Opco (except the transferred assets shall also include any promissory notes evidencing outstanding loan balances of Transferred Employees and shall be subject to any qualified domestic relations order pursuant to Section 414(p) of the Code) and shall be transferred in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code.  Prior to, and as a condition of, any transfer of assets, Seller and Opco shall provide the other with satisfactory evidence that its plan is tax-qualified within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code.  As of the transfer date, the Opco 401(k) Plan shall have sole liability for the payment of benefits accrued by Transferred Employees under the Seller 401(k) Plan and transferred in respect of such Transferred Employees and neither the Seller 401(k) Plan nor the Seller or its Affiliates shall have any obligation to Opco or with respect to employees of Opco with respect thereto (except to the extent Seller has made a mistake in the calculation and transfer of assets).  If Seller determines in its sole discretion to make a profit sharing contribution to the Seller 401(k) Plan for the

67

2009 plan year on behalf of employees of Seller, Seller will make a profit sharing contribution to the Seller 401(k) Plan for each Transferred Employee who (i) is employed by Seller as of the applicable Transfer Date, (ii) is eligible according to the terms of Seller 401(k) Plan, and (iii) remains continuously employed by Seller and Opco (and their respective Affiliates) through December 31, 2009, based on his or her eligible compensation earned from Seller for the period from January 1, 2009 through the applicable Transfer Date.  As soon as practicable following the date of such contribution, Seller shall effectuate a trust-to-trust transfer of the account balances of Transferred Employees resulting from such profit sharing contribution from the Seller 401(k) Plan to the Opco 401(k) Plan.  Seller and Opco shall cooperate with each other (and cause the trustees of the Seller 401(k) Plan and the Opco 401(k) Plan to cooperate with each other) to effectuate the transfers of assets to the Opco 401(k) Plan.

(f)    Employee Withholding and Reporting Matters. With respect to Transferred Employees, from the time such transfer occurs, Opco shall, in accordance with and to the extent permitted pursuant to the “standard procedure” set forth in Revenue Procedure 2004-53, unless otherwise provided in the Ancillary Agreements, be responsible for preparing and filing Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, Form W- 3, Transmittal of Income and Tax Statements, Form 941, Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate and Form W-5, Earned Income Credit Advance Payment Certificate for the portion of the calendar year beginning on the day after the applicable Transfer Date.  Seller shall be responsible for such filings with respect to wages paid and taxes withheld by Seller for the portion of the calendar year beginning in January of the year in which the Closing occurs and ending on the applicable Transfer Date.  The parties hereto agree to comply with the procedures described in Section 4 of the Revenue Procedure 2004-53.

(g)   No Third Party Beneficiaries; Information.  Nothing in this Section 5.5, express or implied, (i) is intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or Liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, (ii) shall limit the right of Opco to terminate any Transferred Employee after the applicable Transfer Date or to modify the terms or conditions of any Transferred Employee’s employment or (iii) shall limit the right of the Canadian Sub to terminate any Canadian Employee after the Closing Date or to modify the terms or conditions of any Canadian Employee’s employment.  Seller shall provide Opco with such information and records ordinarily maintained by Seller that are necessary for Opco to comply with its obligations under this Section 5.5.

(h)              Employee Transition.  The parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to (i) establish and have Opco adopt the Company Plans, and (ii) establish all human resource functions necessary to support the day-to-day operations of Opco and its employees no later than December 31, 2009.

68

Section 7.5             Third-Party Claim Indemnification Procedures.  (a)  In the event that any written claim or demand for which an indemnifying party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may have liability to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than thirty days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of a Third-Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third-Party Claim, the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third-Party Claim), any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to give a timely Claim Notice shall affect the rights of an Indemnified Party hereunder only to the extent that such failure has a prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days (or such less number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by Legal Proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third-Party Claim.

(b)   In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate Legal Proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense at its expense.  Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall defend such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing.  The Indemnified Party may participate in any such defense at its expense; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, or (ii) the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party has failed to diligently pursue a Third-Party Claim it has assumed, as provided in the first sentence of Section 7.5(c).  The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim on a basis that would result in (i) the imposition of a consent Order, injunction or decree that would materially restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (ii) a finding or admission of a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) a finding or admission that would have a Material Adverse Effect on other claims made or threatened against the Indemnified Party or any of its

79

Affiliates or (iv) any monetary liability of the Indemnified Party that will not be promptly paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party, and, in connection with any of the foregoing, the Indemnified Party alone shall be entitled to contest, defend, compromise and settle such Third-Party Claim in the first instance.

(c)   If the Indemnifying Party (i) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third-Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise, (ii) is not entitled to defend the Third-Party Claim as a result of the Indemnified Party’s election to defend the Third-Party Claim as provided in Section 7.5(b) or (iii) after assuming the defense of a Third-Party Claim, fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim within ten days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third-Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d)   The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third-Party Claim, including by providing access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents, and employees; it being understood that the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party relating thereto shall be Losses.

(e)   The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use reasonable best efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third-Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

Section 7.6             Direct Claims.  If an Indemnified Party wishes to make a claim for indemnification hereunder for a Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Direct Claim, the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Direct Claim), any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 30 days within which to respond to such Direct Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party rejects all or any part of the Direct Claim, the Indemnified Person shall be free to seek enforcement of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to such Direct Claim.

Section 7.7             Consequential Damages.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Person shall be liable under this Article VII for (i) any

80

Losses that are not direct, actual damages or (ii) any punitive, special or speculative damages, in each case, unless such Losses are paid pursuant to a third party claim.

Section 7.8             Adjustments to Losses.  (a)  Insurance.  In calculating the amount of any Loss, the proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates under any insurance policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person in each case relating to the Third-Party Claim or the Direct Claim, net of any actual costs, expenses or premiums (including any increase in premiums exclusively and demonstrably attributable to insurance claims relating to such Loss) incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds, shall be deducted, except to the extent that the adjustment itself would excuse, exclude or limit the coverage of all or part of such Loss.  Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under insurance coverage, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible, for any Losses to the same extent that such Indemnified Party would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder.

(b)   Taxes.  In calculating the amount of any Loss, there shall be deducted an amount equal to any net Tax benefit actually realized through a reduction in cash Taxes otherwise due (including the utilization of a Tax loss or Tax credit carried forward) as a result of such Loss by the party claiming such Loss, and there shall be added an amount equal to any Tax imposed on the receipt of any indemnity payment with respect thereto.

(c)   Reimbursement.  If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of a Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, plus the amount received from the third party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of Loss.

(d)   Qualifiers.  For purposes of determining the failure of any representations and warranties (other than representations and warranties in Sections 3.12 and 3.14) to be true and correct, the breach of any covenants or agreements and calculating Losses hereunder, any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications in the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall be disregarded.

Section 7.9             Payments.  The Indemnifying Party shall pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Article VII (the “Indemnity Amount”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, within a reasonable period of time following receipt from an Indemnified Party of a bill, together with reasonably detailed back-up documentation, for a Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder, unless the Indemnifying Party in good faith disputes the Loss, in which event it shall so notify the Indemnified Party.  In any event, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount in cash equal to the Indemnity Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than five Business Days following any final determination of the Indemnity Amount and the Indemnifying Party’s liability therefor.  A

81

“final determination” shall exist when (i) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and non-appealable Order or judgment or (iii) an arbitration or like panel shall have rendered a final non-appealable determination with respect to disputes the parties have agreed to submit thereto.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an indemnity payment is to be made to Buyer hereunder for a Loss incurred by the Companies, then the amount to be paid to Buyer for such Loss will be reduced to take into account Seller’s ownership of Holdco.

Section 7.10           Characterization of Indemnification Payments.  All payments made by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Consideration, or, if applicable, as a member contribution of such amount by Seller to the Companies, for Tax purposes.

Section 7.11           Mitigation.  Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any indemnifiable Loss.  In the event an Indemnified Party fails to so mitigate an indemnifiable Loss, the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for any portion of such Loss that reasonably could have been avoided had the Indemnified Person made such efforts.

Section 7.12           Remedies.  Following the Closing, except (a) with respect to a claim to enforce this Article VII, (b) with respect to a good faith claim for fraud or (c) as may be otherwise contemplated by Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.11, 5.4(f) or 9.1 or by the Confidentiality Agreement, the rights and remedies of Seller, the Companies and Buyer under this Article VII are exclusive and in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies which Seller, the Companies and Buyer may have under this Agreement or otherwise against each other with respect to the Transactions; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.12 is intended to limit any rights the parties have under the Ancillary Agreements.  The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, shall foreclose the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.

ARTICLE VIII
