Section 2.2 Estimated Closing Statement. At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers will deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), setting forth Sellers’ good faith estimate of the Distribution Amount, which will be based on, and which statement will include, Sellers’ good faith estimate (together with reasonable supporting calculations and documentation with respect thereto) of (i) Company Indebtedness; (ii) the aggregate amount of Cash, (iii) Net Working Capital, (iv) the resulting Net Working Capital Adjustment and (v) the aggregate amount of Company Transaction Expenses (itemized by payee), in each case calculated as of the Valuation Time.

The date of the Closing will be referred to herein as the “Closing Date”. The Closing will take place by remote exchange of signatures and documents. The Closing will be deemed effective as of 12:01 a.m. EST on the Closing Date, or at such other place or at such other time as Sellers and Buyer may agree in writing.

(a)At the Closing, Sellers will deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer (unless delivered previously) the following:
(i)the executed Ancillary Agreements;
(ii)a properly completed and validly executed IRS Form W-9 of each Seller or, in case a Seller is treated and properly classified as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes on the Closing Date, of such owner (or each of such owners) of such Seller;
(iii)the certificates and other documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.3;
(iv)a duly executed assignment of membership interests in the Company from Sellers and/or their respective Affiliates in respect of the Purchased Equity Interests, and any certificates issued in respect of such interests; and

(a)the executed Ancillary Agreements; and
21

(b)the certificates and other documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.2.
Section 2.6 Post-Closing Distribution Amount Adjustment.
(a)As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event within 120 days thereof, the Company will prepare and deliver to Sellers a statement setting forth the Company’s calculation of (i) Cash, (ii) Company Indebtedness, (iii) Net Working Capital, (iv) the resulting Net Working Capital Adjustment, and (v) the aggregate amount of Company Transaction Expenses, in each case as of immediately prior to the Closing (such statement being referred to as the “Company Closing Statement”). The Company Closing Statement, the Final Closing Statement and the component items thereof will be prepared and calculated in accordance with this Agreement and the Accounting Policies. Following the Closing Date, the Company will (1) permit, and will cause each Company Group Member to permit, Sellers and their Representatives reasonable access to the books, records, properties, premises, work papers, personnel and other information of the Company Group to permit Sellers and their Representatives to review the Company Closing Statement or to address any dispute described in this Section 2.6 and (2) reasonably cooperate, and will cause each Company Group Member to reasonably cooperate, with Sellers and their Representatives in connection with such review or any dispute, including providing on a timely basis all other information necessary or useful in connection with the review of the Company Closing Statement as is reasonably requested by Sellers or their Representatives; provided, however, that any such access or cooperation will be provided during normal business hours under the supervision of the applicable personnel of Buyer or the Company Group and in such a manner as to maintain the confidentiality of the relevant information and not interfere unreasonably with the operations of the Company Group. The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing and calculating Cash, Company Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and the Company Transaction Expenses is to measure changes in such amounts without the introduction of new accounting methods, policies, practices, procedures, or classifications from the Accounting Principles. The Company Closing Statement and the calculation of the amounts therein will entirely disregard (x) any and all effects on the assets or Liabilities of the Company Group as a result of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by the Company Group or any other transaction entered into by the Company Group in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) any of the plans, transactions or changes that the Company initiates or makes, or causes to be initiated or made, after the Closing with respect to the Company Group, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Buyer or any of its assets or Liabilities.
(b)Sellers will, within 60 days following receipt of the Company Closing Statement (the “Review Period”), accept or reject the Company Closing Statement submitted by the Company. If Sellers disagree with the Company Closing Statement or any calculation therein, then Sellers will give written notice to the Company of such dispute and any reason therefor within such 60-day period. Should Sellers fail to provide the Company with a written notice of dispute within such 60-day period, Sellers will be deemed to agree with the Company’s calculation. In the event there is a dispute, the Company and Sellers will attempt to reconcile their differences, and any written resolution by them as to any disputed amounts will be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties. Any items agreed to by Sellers and the Company in writing, together with any items not disputed or objected to by Sellers in a dispute notice, are collectively referred to herein as the “Resolved Matters”. If Sellers and the Company are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of Sellers’ written notice of dispute, Sellers and the Company will submit the items remaining in dispute (the “Unresolved Matters”) for resolution to the national office of Ernst & Young or, if the national office of Ernst & Young is unwilling or unable to serve, to the national office of a nationally recognized independent accounting firm agreed upon by Sellers and the Company (such identified or selected firm, the “Independent Accountant”). The Independent Accountant will act as an expert, and not an arbitrator, and the Parties will direct the Independent Accountant to use commercially reasonable efforts to issue its report as to all Unresolved Matters (and only such matters) and the determination of the Adjustment Amounts within 30 days after such dispute is
22

referred to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant will not have the power to modify or amend any term or provision of this Agreement. With respect to each Unresolved Matter, the Independent Accountant’s determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Sellers or the Company, will not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Sellers or the Company with respect thereto. The Independent Accountant will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and will base its decision solely upon the written submissions of Sellers and Buyer, and not upon any independent review. The Independent Accountant’s final written determination will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. The Company on the one hand, and Sellers on the other hand, will bear all costs and expenses incurred by them in connection with such arbitration, except that the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant hereunder will be borne by the Company, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of Unresolved Matters submitted to the Independent Accountant that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Independent Accountant) bears to the total amount of such disputed items submitted. This provision will be specifically enforceable by the Parties, and the decision of the Independent Accountant in accordance with the provisions hereof will be final and binding with respect to the matters so arbitrated and there will be no right of appeal therefrom.
(c)The “Final Closing Statement” will be (i) in the event that no dispute notice is delivered by Sellers to the Company, or Sellers notify the Company that they have no such disputes or objections to the Company Closing Statement, in each case prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Company Closing Statement delivered by the Company to Sellers pursuant to Section 2.6(a); (ii) in the event that a dispute notice is delivered by Sellers to the Company prior to the expiration of the Review Period and Sellers and the Company are able to agree on all matters set forth in such dispute notice, the Company Closing Statement delivered by the Company to Sellers pursuant to Section 2.6(a), as adjusted pursuant to the agreement of Sellers and the Company in writing; or (iii) in the event that a dispute notice is delivered by Sellers to the Company prior to the expiration of the Review Period and Sellers and the Company are unable to agree on all matters set forth in such dispute notice, the Company Closing Statement delivered by the Company to Sellers pursuant to Section 2.6(a), as adjusted by the Independent Accountant to be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Independent Accountant of the Unresolved Matters in accordance with Section 2.6(b). In the event the Final Closing Statement is determined (x) pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company will prepare the Final Closing Statement and calculate the Adjustment Amounts, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and deliver such items to Sellers within three Business Days following the determination thereof or (y) pursuant to clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Independent Accountant will prepare the Final Closing Statement and calculate the Adjustment Amounts, if any, based on the Final Closing Statement, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and deliver such items to Sellers and the Company within three Business Days following the delivery of the final written determination of the Independent Accountant to Sellers and the Company.
(d)The parties agree that, after the Closing, the Distribution Amount will be adjusted as set forth below (each, an “Adjustment Amount”) based upon the respective amounts set forth in the Final Closing Statement:
(i)if the Cash is less than the Estimated Cash, the Distribution Amount will be reduced by, and Sellers will pay to the Company, the difference between the Estimated Cash and the Cash;
(ii)if the Cash is greater than the Estimated Cash, the Distribution Amount will be increased by, and the Company will pay to Sellers, the difference between the Cash and the Estimated Cash;
(iii)if the Company Indebtedness is greater than the Estimated Company Indebtedness, the Distribution Amount will be reduced by, and Sellers will pay to the
23

Company, the difference between the Company Indebtedness and the Estimated Company Indebtedness;
(iv)if the Company Indebtedness is less than the Estimated Company Indebtedness, the Distribution Amount will be increased by, and the Company will pay to Sellers, the difference between the Estimated Company Indebtedness and the Company Indebtedness;
(v)if the Net Working Capital Adjustment is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment, the Distribution Amount will be reduced by, and Sellers will pay to the Company, the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment and the Net Working Capital Adjustment;
(vi)if the Net Working Capital Adjustment is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment, the Distribution Amount will be increased by, and the Company will pay to Sellers, the difference between the Net Working Capital Adjustment and the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment;
(vii)if the Company Transaction Expenses are greater than the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses, the Distribution Amount will be reduced by, and Sellers will pay to the Company, the difference between the Company Transaction Expenses and the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses; and
(viii)if the Company Transaction Expenses are less than the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses, the Distribution Amount will be increased by, and the Company will pay to Sellers, the difference between the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses and the Company Transaction Expenses.
(e)The Adjustment Amount to be paid pursuant to clauses (i)-(viii) of Section 2.6(d) will be netted so that only Sellers, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, is required to make a payment hereunder. Any payment required pursuant to Section 2.6(d) will be made within five Business Days following the determination and delivery of the Final Closing Statement.
(f)Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.6 will be treated as an adjustment to the Distribution Amount for all applicable Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by the Parties on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
This Section 2.6 will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to the determination of the Distribution Amount; provided, however, that in no event will Buyer, the Company or Sellers be entitled to any duplicative recovery as a result of the rights and remedies afforded herein.
Section 2.7 Method of Payment. All payments required under this Article II or any other provision of this Agreement will be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account or bank accounts designated in writing by the Person to which the applicable payment is due.
Section 2.8 Withholding. Buyer and each Company Group Member, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law; provided, however, that Buyer or such Company Group Member, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to inform the Person to whom such amounts are being paid of its intent to withhold at least five Business Days prior to making any such withholding from any payment pursuant to this Agreement (other than any withholding or deduction in respect of payments treated as compensation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and to provide such Person a reasonable opportunity to provide any
24

documentation that may reduce or eliminate such obligation. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld, and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
Section 2.9 Earnout.
(a)No later than February 28, 2023, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth, in reasonable detail, Sellers’ calculation of Earnout EBITDA (the “Earnout Statement”). If Buyer disagree with the calculations in the Earnout Statement, then Buyer will give written notice to Sellers of such dispute and any reason therefor within 60 days following receipt of the Earnout Statement (the “Earnout Review Period”). If Buyer fails to provide the Sellers with a written notice of dispute within such 60-day period, Buyer will be deemed to agree with Sellers’ calculation. In the event there is a dispute, Buyer and Sellers will attempt to reconcile their differences, and any written resolution by them as to any disputed amounts will be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties. If Sellers and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within 30 days after the receipt by Sellers of Buyer’s written notice of dispute, Sellers and Buyer will submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to the Independent Accountant in accordance with procedures substantially similar to those set forth in Section 2.6(b), applied to the Earnout Statement mutatis mutandis.
(b)The “Final Earnout Statement” will be (i) in the event that no dispute notice is delivered by Buyer, or Buyer notifies Seller that it has no such disputes or objections to the Earnout Statement, in each case prior to the expiration of the Earnout Review Period, the Earnout Statement delivered by Sellers to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.9(a); (ii) in the event that a dispute notice is delivered by Buyer to Sellers prior to the expiration of the Earnout Review Period and Sellers and Buyer are able to agree on all matters set forth in such dispute notice, the Earnout Statement delivered by Sellers to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.9(a), as adjusted pursuant to the agreement of Sellers and Buyer in writing; or (iii) in the event that a dispute notice is delivered by Buyer to Sellers prior to the expiration of the Earnout Review Period and Sellers and Buyer are unable to agree on all matters set forth in such dispute notice, the Earnout Statement delivered by Sellers to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.9(a), as adjusted by the Independent Accountant in accordance with Section 2.9(a). In the event the Earnout Statement is determined (x) pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, Sellers will prepare the Final Earnout Statement and deliver it to Buyer within three Business Days following the determination thereof or (y) pursuant to clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Independent Accountant will prepare the Final Earnout Statement and deliver such items to Sellers and Buyer within three Business Days following the delivery of the final written determination of the Independent Accountant to Sellers and Buyer.
(c)If Earnout EBITDA is greater than the Earnout Threshold, within 12 Business Days following the date on which the Final Earnout Statement is delivered pursuant to Section 2.9, Buyer shall pay to an account designated in writing by Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an aggregate amount of cash equal to the Earnout Amount.
(d)The Parties agree that any payment of the Earnout Amount will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all applicable Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by the Parties on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
(e)In the event that the Closing occurs prior to January 1, 2023, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2022, unless otherwise consented to by the Roper Directors (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) or the Sellers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company Group Members to conduct their respective businesses in the Ordinary Course (taking into account the transition of the Company Group to a standalone business, including as contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement and
25

with respect to the replacement of services that were previously provided by Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Company Group) to the Company Group).

Each Company Group Member is duly qualified or registered as a foreign business organization, as applicable, to transact business under the Laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its activities or the location of the properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification or registration, except where the failure of such qualification or registration would not, individually or in the aggregate, be materially adverse to the Group Companies, taken as a whole.

The Equity Interests are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free and clear of any Liens and were not issued in violation of (i) any preemptive rights or (ii) applicable securities Laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. There are no options, warrants, subscriptions, convertible securities, stock participation or appreciation rights, phantom stock rights, profit participation rights, purchase rights, exchange rights or other rights, commitments or Contracts of any character relating to the Equity Interests or obligating any Seller or any Company Group Member to issue or sell the equity interests of any Company Group Member. Neither Seller nor any Company Group Member is a party to any voting trust or other agreement with respect to the voting, redemption, sale, transfer or other disposition of the interests of any Company Group Member.

There are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any equity interests in the Company or to make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise) in any other Person.

Each of Sellers and Buyer will promptly provide the other with copies of all written communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance of all oral communications) between each of them, any of their respective Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Sellers and Buyer will promptly notify the other of the receipt and content of any oral or written communication, inquiries or requests for additional information it receives from any Governmental Entity in connection therewith and will promptly (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or any inquiry; (ii) provide the other with a description of the information provided to any Governmental Entity with respect to any such oral or written communication, inquiry or request; (iii) permit the other Party to review and incorporate the other Party’s reasonable comments in any communication given by it to any Governmental Entity; and (iv) to the extent practicable and permitted by such applicable Governmental Entity, give the other Party or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in all meetings, substantive telephone calls or conferences with any Governmental Entity.

(c)Neither Buyer nor Sellers will, and each will cause its respective Affiliates not to, take any action that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the approval of any Governmental Entity of any of the aforementioned filings.
(d)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer will use all reasonable best efforts to obtain all Regulatory Clearances, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity or any other party with respect thereto, so as to enable the Parties to close the transactions contemplated by this
49

Agreement on or before the Outside Date, including (i) making amendments or modifications to this Agreement (other than amendments to the Purchase Price, Base Distribution Amount or the respective components, inputs or calculations thereof) to the extent necessary to obtain the Regulatory Clearances, (ii) supplying promptly any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by a Governmental Entity pursuant to the HSR Act or otherwise in connection with obtaining the Regulatory Clearances and (iii) agreeing to any restrictions or limitations on any businesses, operations, assets or contractual freedoms of any such businesses or operations (provided, that any such commitment or transaction involving the Company Group (or any of its assets or business) may be subject to the occurrence of the Closing) to the extent necessary to obtain the Regulatory Clearances. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer will take any and all actions necessary in order to remedy or otherwise address the concerns (whether or not formally expressed) of any Governmental Entity under the HSR Act or otherwise relating to the Regulatory Clearances, including divesting, disposing of, restricting, or holding separate all or any portion of the businesses or assets of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or the businesses or assets of the Company (each, a “Regulatory Action”); provided, however, that Buyer is prohibited from proposing to any Governmental Entity or agreeing to any Regulatory Action with respect to the businesses or assets of the Company without the prior written consent of Sellers.
(e)In connection with this Section 6.3, if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Laws, the Parties will jointly (to the extent practicable) use all reasonable best efforts to (i) oppose or defend against such Action and (ii) take such action as necessary to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including by appeal if necessary of any Order that makes illegal or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that any commitment or transaction involving the Company Group (or any of its assets or business) may be subject to the occurrence of the Closing.
(f)Sellers will, and will cause the Company Group to, use reasonable best efforts to take all steps, on a timely basis, as are required under applicable Law or any Collective Bargaining Agreement to notify, consult with, or negotiate the effect, impact, terms or timing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with each works council, union, labor board, employee group or representative body, pension trustee or regulator, or Governmental Entity where so required under applicable Law. Sellers will keep Buyer reasonably informed about all material steps in the notification and/or consultation processes in any jurisdictions concerned and permit Buyer (to the extent applicable) a reasonable opportunity to comment on any written communication to be delivered in connection with the notification and/or consultation processes. Reasonably in advance of any meeting between the Company Group and a works council, union, labor board, employee group or representative body, pension trustee or regulator, or Governmental Entity, Sellers shall, unless prohibited by applicable Law, invite a representative of Buyer to attend such meeting. In connection with such consultations and notifications, Sellers shall not, and shall cause the Company Group to not, make or accept any commitments, obligations or undertakings which could materially affect or prejudice the financial, legal or other position of the Company Group without the prior written consent of Buyer. The Company and Sellers (as applicable) shall use their reasonable efforts to, on a timely basis, provide the Buyer with such information as the Buyer may reasonably request in relation to any such consultation.
(g)In the event that any of the regulatory approvals listed on Schedule 1.1(c) designated with an asterisk alongside the name are not obtained on or prior to December 15, 2022, Buyer and the Sellers will cooperate in good faith to use commercially reasonable efforts to remove from the Company Group the assets and liabilities of the Company Group to the extent such assets and liabilities relate, and any Company Group Member to the extent such Company Group Member solely relates, to the operations that require such regulatory approval(s) that remain outstanding (such assets, liabilities and/or entities, the “Carve-Out Operations”) in a manner that would enable the parties to effect the Closing without such approval(s) and without violating applicable Law, with (i) the proceeds payable to the Sellers at
50

the Closing being reduced by an amount that is proportionate to the EBITDA associated with such Carve-Out Operations, (ii) such Carve-Out Operations being operated for the benefit and burden of the Company Group between the Closing and the transfer back of the Carve-Out Operations to the Company Group (or until an agreed outside date) and (iii) such Carve-Out Operations being transferred back to the Company Group as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of the applicable regulatory approval(s) in exchange for the amount of reduction to the proceeds payable to the Sellers at the Closing in accordance with clause (i) above with respect to the applicable Carve-Out Operations transferred back to the Company Group.
Section 6.4 Reasonable Best Efforts. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Parties will cooperate, and use all reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof and in any event on or before the Outside Date. The Parties agree, with respect to a threatened or pending, preliminary or permanent Law or Order that would adversely affect the ability of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, to use all reasonable best efforts to prevent or lift the entry, enactment or promulgation thereof, as the case may be. The Parties further agree to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions herein.
Section 6.5 Public Announcements. Within four business days of the date hereof, Parent will issue a press release (the “Press Release”) in a form to be mutually agreed by Buyer and Sellers. Except for the Press Release, Parent’s investor presentation, or as agreed to by the other Party, neither Party will issue any report, statement or press release or otherwise make any public statements or filings with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, either Party (or its Affiliates) may issue a report, statement or press release or otherwise make a public statement or filing with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as required by applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange. In the event any proposed announcement or release is required by applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange, the Party proposing such announcement or release will advise the other Party and the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release, announcement or other disclosure to be issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Parent may publicly file this Agreement as required by applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange without the prior written consent of Buyer but Buyer will not publicly file this Agreement without the prior written consent of Sellers and (b) the Parties may disclose this Agreement or its terms to (i) their respective employees, accountants, advisors and other Representatives as necessary in connection with the ordinary conduct of their business (so long as such Persons agree to, or are bound by contractual, professional or fiduciary obligations to, keep the terms of this Agreement confidential and (ii) to any limited partner or prospective limited partner, or lender, underwriter or other financing source, of Buyer or its Affiliates (and such limited partners’, lenders’, underwriters’ and financing sources’ respective legal counsel) in connection with such Person’s due diligence of Buyer or its Affiliates.
Section 6.6 Lauda, Germany Facility Sale Proceeds. If the sale of PAC facility located in Lauda, Germany occurs after the Closing Date, Buyer will, or will cause the relevant Company Group Member to, remit the proceeds of such sale, less any costs, expenses and Taxes incurred by any Company Group Member in connection with such sale, to the Parent within 30 days of the completion of such sale.
Section 6.7[Reserved].
51

Section 6.8 Tax Matters.
(a)Tax Sharing Agreements. Any Tax sharing agreement or similar agreement between any Company Group Member, on the one hand, and Parent (or any Affiliate of Parent other than a Company Group Member), on the other hand, will be terminated as of the Closing Date and will have no further effect for any Taxable year, or portion thereof (whether the current year, a future year, or a past year). As of the Closing, no Company Group Member will have any further obligations to Parent or its Affiliates under any such Tax sharing agreement or similar agreement.
(b)Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. Sellers will, at their own expense, prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed (A) all Combined Tax Returns. (B) all other income Tax Returns of each Company Group Member for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (other than Straddle Periods) and (C) all Tax Returns of each Company Group Member not described in clauses (A) and (B) that are due to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date. With respect to any Tax Return described in clause (B) that is due (taking into account applicable extensions) to be filed after the Closing Date (“Seller Prepared Tax Returns”), such Seller Prepared Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. No later than 30 days prior to the due date for such Seller Prepared Tax Return, Sellers will provide, or cause to be provided, Buyer with a draft of any such Seller Prepared Tax Returns. Buyer will have the right to review and comment on any such Seller Prepared Tax Return; provided, that Sellers will not be required to request an extension of time for the filing of such Seller Prepared Tax Return and Sellers will have the right to file such Seller Prepared Tax Return even if Buyer has not completed its review of such Tax Return. If Buyer disputes any items shown on any such Seller Prepared Tax Return, Buyer will notify Sellers within 10 days after receiving such Seller Prepared Tax Return. Sellers and Buyer will negotiate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disputed items. Sellers shall timely file, or shall cause to be timely filed, any Tax Returns described clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 6.8(b) with the appropriate Governmental Entity and shall timely pay, or cause to be paid, such Taxes reported as due and payable on any such Tax Returns (and any other Tax Return described in clause (A) hereof).
(c)Responsibility for Filing Other Tax Returns. Except for the Tax Returns described in Section 6.8(b), the Company will, at the expense of the Company Group, prepare, and timely file or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns of each Company Group Member (including any successors thereof) that have not yet been filed and are required to be filed after the Closing Date, including any such Tax Returns for a Straddle Period. Subject to Sections 6.8(d) and 6.8(e), the Company Group will be reimbursed by Sellers for any Taxes with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period owed by any Company Group Member (including any successors thereof) with respect to any Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, within 15 days after receipt by Sellers of a notice from the Company stating that payment by a Company Group Member (including any successors thereof) of such Taxes is due, except to the extent such Taxes were specifically included as a liability in Company Indebtedness or Net Working Capital in the Final Closing Statement. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, the Transaction Tax Deductions will be reflected on Tax Returns for Taxable periods that end on or prior to the Closing Date.
(d)Straddle Periods. For purposes of determining the amount of Taxes included in Net Working Capital, Company Indebtedness, Seller Taxes and this Section 6.8(d), in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date will (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income, gain or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on 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, gain or receipts (including income Taxes and sales and use Taxes), be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Taxable
52

period ended on the Closing Date; provided, that (i) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) that are actually available to be utilized will be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (ii) any Transaction Tax Deductions for a Straddle Period will be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date to the extent permitted under applicable Law, (iii) the portion of any Tax that is allocable to the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period for purposes of this Section 6.8(d) shall include any Taxes attributable to any amount required to be included under Section 951 of the Code or Section 951A of the Code by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, any Company Group Member), assuming the Taxable year of the applicable Company Group Member was deemed to end on the Closing Date to the extent such amount (A) is attributable to the income, earnings and profits or property of such Company Group Member and (B) would be allocable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period if the Taxable year of each such entity ended on the day prior to the Closing Date (determined on a “with and without” basis) and (iv) items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for the Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company and Holdings shall be allocated and determined by utilizing the interim closing method as of the end of the day on the Closing Date in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-4 (and any similar provisions of applicable state, local or foreign law). Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, any credits or estimated Tax payments relating to a Straddle Period will be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date.
(e)Reimbursement of the Company Group. With respect to any Tax Return required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 6.8(c) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Company will provide Buyer and Sellers with copies of such Tax Return, along with all schedules, statements, workpapers and supporting documentation to the extent relating to such Tax Returns (the “Supporting Documentation”) promptly after the Company has prepared (or caused to be prepared) such Tax Return and Supporting Documentation, and in any event, no later than 15 Business Days (or in the case of a non-income Tax Return such amount of time to provide Sellers a meaningful opportunity to review such return to the extent commercially reasonable under the circumstances) prior to the due date for such Tax Return. Buyer and Sellers will have the right to review any such Tax Return and Supporting Documentation; provided, that the Company will not be required to request (or cause to be requested) an extension of time for the filing of such Tax Return and the Company will have the right to file (or cause to be filed) such Tax Return even if either Buyer or Sellers has not completed its review of such Tax Return and Supporting Documentation or objects to any such Tax Return; and provided, further, that Sellers will not be required to reimburse the Company Group pursuant to Section 6.8(c) for any Taxes paid by any Company Group Member with respect to such Tax Return until Sellers have had an opportunity to review such Tax Return and Supporting Documentation. If Buyer or Sellers dispute any items shown on any such Tax Return, such Party will notify the Company and the other Party within 10 Business Days after receiving such Tax Return and the Supporting Documentation. Buyer, Sellers and the Company will negotiate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disputed items. If Buyer, Sellers and the Company are unable to resolve any disputed items within 10 Business Days after the receipt by Buyer and Sellers of the Tax Return filed or proposed to be filed, such dispute will be resolved by the Independent Accountant, which will resolve any issue in dispute as promptly as practicable. If any disputed issue has not been resolved prior to the date the applicable Company Group Member is required to file the Tax Return in question, the Company Group will be reimbursed by Sellers for the amount of Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period not in dispute with respect to such Tax Return. Upon resolution of any dispute by Buyer and Sellers or by the Independent Accountant’s delivery of its determination to Buyer, Sellers and the Company, appropriate adjustments will be made to the amount paid by Sellers pursuant to Section 6.8(c) in order to reflect the resolution by good faith negotiation or the Independent Accountant’s determination, as the case may be. If such determination reflects an overpayment by Sellers, the Company Group will promptly pay to Sellers an amount equal to such overpayment amount. The determination by the Independent Accountant will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties (in the absence of fraud or manifest error). The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant will be shared equally by Buyer and Sellers. Notwithstanding
53

anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group after the Closing Date) shall be liable for the income Taxes of the Company or the Sellers for any Pre-Closing Tax Period.
(f)Section 754 Election. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that any Company Group Member that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company and Holdings) shall make a valid election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code (and any similar provisions of applicable state, local or foreign law) effective for the taxable period that includes the Closing Date.
(g)Certain Taxes. All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with Buyer’s purchase of the Purchased Equity Interests pursuant to this Agreement will be paid by 50% by Buyer and 50% by Sellers when due, other than any Transfer Taxes that arise from or are attributable to the Restructuring which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be borne exclusively by Sellers. The Party responsible under applicable Law for filing the Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes will prepare and timely file such Tax Returns, will pay such Taxes shown as due and payable on such Tax Returns (subject to prompt reimbursement by the other Party to the extent applicable), and promptly provide a copy of such Tax Return to the other Party. Buyer and Sellers will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate to timely prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes.
(h)Refunds. Any Tax refunds that are actually received by the Company Group, and any amounts actually credited against cash Taxes payable by the Company Group (including any interest paid or credited with respect thereto), in each case with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent such Taxes were paid by the Sellers and their Affiliates, including the Company Group Members, prior to the Closing, or by Sellers and their Affiliates under Section 6.8(b) or 6.8(c) after the Closing or were specifically included as a liability in Company Indebtedness or Net Working Capital in the Final Closing Statement, will be for the account of Sellers, and the Company will pay or cause to be paid over to Sellers an amount equal to such refund or amount of any such credit within 15 days after receipt or utilization thereof, net of any Taxes or other costs to the Company Group attributable to the obtaining and receipt of such refund or credit and except to the extent any such refund or credit arises as the result of a carryback of a loss or other tax benefit from a Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, or such refund or credit was included as an asset in the calculation of Company Indebtedness or Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6. Any such refunds or credits relating to any Straddle Period will be equitably apportioned between the Company and Sellers in accordance with Section 6.8(d). Upon reasonable written request of Sellers, Buyer will, at Sellers’ expense, reasonably cooperate with Sellers in causing the applicable Company Group Member to file for, and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the receipt of, any refund that is for the account of Sellers under this Section 6.8(h), to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Buyer may request that Sellers provide reasonable documentation in support of such refund request under this Section 6.8(h). To the extent such refund or credit is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Governmental Entity, Sellers agree to promptly repay the amount of such refund or credit, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Governmental Entity, to the Company Group. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company Group Members) shall have the right to set off and withhold from the payment of any amount payable under this Section 6.8(h) the amount of any Taxes for which Sellers are obligated to pay pursuant to Section 6.8(b), Section 6.8(c) or Section 6.8(l). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller’s right to any refund of Taxes under this Section 6.8(h) shall survive only for so long as the period for which Buyer and its Affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, including the Company Group Members from and after the Closing) are entitled to indemnification under Section 6.8(l). Unless requested by Sellers in writing or otherwise required by applicable Law, Buyer will not carry back, and will not cause or permit any Company Group Member to carry back, any net operating loss, capital, or other Tax attribute of such Company Group Member to any periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date.
54

(i)Post-Closing Actions. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, following the Closing, Buyer will not, if doing so could (x) result in any increased Tax liability of Sellers or their Affiliates or (y) give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, in each case for a Pre-Closing Tax Period: (i) file any amended Tax Return for the Company Group or (ii) make, change or revoke any Tax election or change any accounting period or method of the Company Group with retroactive effect, in each case without Sellers’ prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Company shall cause Dynisco Parent, Inc. and any Subsidiary of Dynisco Parent, Inc. that is an includible corporation in the affiliated group of which Dynisco Parent, Inc. is the common parent (in each case, within the meaning of Section 1504(a)(1) of the Code) to file a consolidated U.S. federal income Tax Return for the Taxable year that includes the Closing Date. Prior to the earlier of (A) the five year anniversary of the Closing Date or (B) the commencement of an initial public offering of the Company or any Issuer (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), the Company shall not take any action, or cause any Company Group Member to take any action, that could reasonably be expected to result in a deconsolidation for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) tax purposes of Dynisco Parent, Inc. and Sunquest Holdings, Inc. without Sellers’ prior written consent (which shall be in Sellers’ sole discretion), provided that following the earlier of any such time described in clause (A) or (B), the Company shall not take any such action, or cause any Company Group Member to take any such action without Sellers’ prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(j)Tax Cooperation. Buyer and Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns relating to the operations of any Company Group Member (including any successor thereof) and any Action with respect to Taxes. Cooperation includes (i) the retention and (on the other Party’s request and at such Party’s expense) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to the filing of any Tax Returns and any Action and (ii) making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Agreement. Each of Sellers and Buyer agree (A) to retain all books and records of the Company Group (including any successor of any Company Group Member) with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company Group (including any successor of a Company Group entity) 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, any extensions thereof) of the respective Taxable periods, (B) to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Entity and (C) to give the other Party reasonable written notice before transferring, destroying or discarding any books and records and, if the other Party so requests, allow such other Party to take possession of the books and records. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers shall not be required to provide Buyer or any other Person any Combined Tax Returns or any Tax Returns or related work papers of Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than Tax Returns or related work papers exclusively related to the Company Group (including any successor of a Company Group entity)). Buyer and Sellers agree that the sharing of information and cooperation contemplated by this Section 6.8(j) shall be done in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the parties. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the other for any reasonable out of pocket costs incurred furnishing such records and information.
(k)Purchase Price Adjustment. Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 6.8 will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price or the Distribution Amount, as applicable, for all applicable Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by the Parties on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
(l)Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Sellers and their Affiliates shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Company Group Member from and after the Closing) with respect to any Seller Taxes together with any other Losses in respect of Seller Taxes. For purposes of determining indemnification under this Section 6.8(l), “Taxes” and “Losses” shall be deemed to include amounts that would have constituted “Taxes” or “Losses” but for the set off or other
55

utilization of any loss, deduction, credit or other Tax asset (x) generated by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (other than a Company Group Member but including, for the avoidance of doubt, any entity acquired by a Company Group Member following the Closing) in any Taxable period or (y) first generated by any Company Group Member in any Taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date and are, in each case, unrelated to the incurrence of any Losses that are or may be the subject of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.8(l).
(m)Tax Contests. Each of Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the other Party in writing within 30 days of receipt of written notice of any pending or threated audit, examination, contest or other proceeding relating to any Taxes or Tax Return of any Company Group Member in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period or that would reasonably be expected to result in an indemnification obligation under Section 6.8(l), other than any such contest that relates to a Combined Tax Return (such audit, examination, contest or proceeding, a “Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding”); provided, that no failure or delay of Buyer or Seller in providing such notice shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of the other Party pursuant to this Agreement, except and solely to the extent that the defense of such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding is directly and materially adversely prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay. Sellers shall, at their own cost and expense, control any audit, examination or contest relating to a Combined Tax Return, provided that, to the extent any such audit, examination or contest relates to (x) any breach of or inaccuracy in any Seller Fundamental Tax Warranty or (y) the Allocation, (1) Sellers shall keep Buyer reasonably informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such audit, examination or contest relating thereto and (2) Sellers shall consider reasonable comments proposed by Buyer that are related to the defense of the portion of any such proceeding relating to the Seller Fundamental Tax Warranties or the Allocation. Sellers shall, at their own cost and expense, have the right to control, upon delivery of written notice to Buyer, any Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding that would reasonably be expected to result in an indemnification obligation under Section 6.8(l) or otherwise result in any increased tax liability of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company Group), other than any such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding for a Straddle Period. The Company shall, at the Company’s cost and expense, control the conduct and defense of any other Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding, including any such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding for a Straddle Period. The Party that controls any Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding pursuant to this Section 6.8(m) (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any contest that relates to a Combined Tax Return) shall (i) keep the other Party reasonably informed regarding the status of such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding, (ii) act in good faith in conducting and contesting such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding with the relevant Governmental Entity and (iii) not settle, compromise or resolve any portion of such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding without the other Party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Party that does not control any such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding shall be entitled to participate in the conduct of such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding at such Party’s sole expense, including by participating in any meetings and teleconferences in connection therewith, to the extent permitted under applicable Law.
(n)Tax Treatment. The Parties agree that, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, the sale and purchase of the Purchased Equity Interests as set forth in this Agreement will be treated, as a taxable sale by Sellers and purchase by Buyer of partnership interests in the Company in a transaction governed by Section 741 of the Code, which will result in a Section 743(b) adjustment to the benefit of Buyer (the “Transaction Tax Treatment”). All Tax Returns filed by any Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be filed in a manner consistent with the Transaction Tax Treatment, unless otherwise required by a “determination” under Section 1313(a) of the Code.
(o)Allocation. Sellers and Buyer shall allocate the Purchase Price (plus assumed liabilities and all other relevant amounts to the extent properly treated as consideration under applicable Law for applicable Tax purposes) among the assets of each Company Group Member, as applicable, for purposes of determining Buyer’s Section 743(b) adjustment, in accordance with the principles of Sections 755 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. law,
56

as appropriate) (the “Allocation”); provided, that, the Parties agree that the value of each of (i) the Company’s Subsidiaries other than Dynisco Parent, Inc. and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand and (ii) Dynisco Parent, Inc. and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, will equal 50% of the total enterprise value of the Company Group used for purposes of determining the Purchase Price and the Distribution Amount (determined, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to the impact of any intracompany payables or receivables between Company Group Members), in each case as further adjusted to take into account the impact of any intracompany payables or receivables between Dynisco Parent, Inc. or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Company or its Subsidiaries (other than Dynisco Parent, Inc. and its Subsidiaries), on the other hand. Buyer shall prepare and provide or cause to be prepared and provided to Sellers a draft Allocation within 90 days after the final determination of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.6). If Sellers disagree with the draft Allocation, Sellers may, within twenty days of receipt of the proposed allocation, notify Buyer in writing of their disagreement. Buyer and Sellers shall, during the 15 days following any such notification of disagreement, negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute. If Buyer and Sellers are unable to agree to the draft Allocation within such period, the dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant pursuant to the mechanics described in Section 2.6(b). Buyer and Sellers will equally bear the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant. Neither Sellers nor Buyer shall file any Tax Return or other document or otherwise take any position which is inconsistent with the Allocation as finally determined pursuant to this Section 6.8(o), except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law.
(p)Tax Structuring. Prior to the Closing, Buyer and Sellers will cooperate in good faith to consider such structures and actions that may be taken by the Company Group Members following the Closing as may be necessary to permit for the repatriation of cash from any non-U.S. Company Group Member or any Company Group Member that is treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes to be effected in a Tax efficient manner following the Closing. The Parties agree that, immediately following the Closing, approximately $60 million of cash shall remain at Dynisco Parent, Inc. or one or more of its Subsidiaries).
Section 6.9 Preservation of Records. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, following the Closing, the Company will, and will cause each other Company Group Member to, preserve and keep the records (including all Tax and accounting records) of the Company Group for a period of seven years from the Closing, or for any longer periods as may be required by any Governmental Entity or ongoing litigation. If Buyer or any Company Group Member wishes to destroy such records after the time specified above, Buyer will first give 60 days’ prior written notice to Sellers, and Sellers will have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to Buyer within that 60-day period, to take possession of the records within 90 days after the date of Sellers’ notice to Buyer.
Section 6.10 Employees; Employee Benefits.
(a)Following the Closing, the Company will, or will cause the Company Group Members to, initially employ each employee of the Company Group who is not covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement (the “Company Employees”), whether salaried or hourly (including each such employee who is absent due to vacation, holiday, illness, leave of absence or short-term disability), (i) at the same job or position and location as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) at a salary or wage level and target cash bonus opportunity at least equal to the salary or wage level and target cash bonus opportunity to which such Company Employees were entitled immediately prior to the Closing Date and (iii) with benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the benefits that such Company Employees were entitled to receive immediately prior to the Closing Date (including benefits pursuant to qualified and nonqualified retirement and savings plans, medical, dental and pharmaceutical plans and programs, and cash incentive compensation plans but excluding, in each case, equity-based compensation plans, deferred compensation arrangements, defined benefit pension or retiree medical benefits, equity-based incentive opportunities, retention or transaction bonuses, or other non-recurring compensation). The covenants in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) will survive
57

for a period of one year following the Closing Date. The terms and conditions of employment for any employees of the Company Group who are covered by Collective Bargaining Agreements shall be governed by such agreements.
(b)The Company will cause the applicable Company Group Member to: (i) assume all Liabilities to provide continuation coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 of ERISA to persons whose “qualifying event” occurs on or before the Closing Date or within the 60 day period after the Closing Date with respect to any Company Employee and his or her “qualified beneficiaries,” with “qualifying event” and “qualified beneficiaries” defined under Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 of ERISA; (ii) assume, honor and be solely responsible for paying, providing or satisfying when due all vacation, sick pay and other paid time off for Company Employees accrued but unused as of the Closing Date, on terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date; (iii) be solely responsible for paying and providing long-term disability benefits with respect to any Company Employee and any former employee of the Company who is receiving long-term disability benefits under any plan or program of Sellers or their Affiliates as of the Closing Date; (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the benefit plans of the Company Group applicable to the Company Employees to recognize all costs and expenses incurred by the Company Employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries) up to (and including) the Closing Date, for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, co-payment, coinsurance, maximum out-of-pocket provisions and like adjustments or limitations on coverage under any such benefit plan, and to waive any preexisting condition, evidence of insurability, good health or actively-at-work exclusions for the Company Employees; (v) for the remainder of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, provide a vacation and holiday plan offered to Company Employees substantially equivalent to what the applicable Company Group Member provided the Company Employees immediately prior to the Closing; and (vi) maintain the same severance arrangements applicable to the Company Employees that were in effect immediately before the Closing Date (the “Company Severance Arrangements”) until the later of December 31, 2022 or the end date specified for any applicable Company Severance Arrangement in Schedule 6.10(b). Schedule 6.10(b) sets forth the details of the Company Severance Arrangements applicable to the Company Employees.
(c)The Company will make available to each Company Employee such number of unused vacation days and other paid time off accrued by such employee with the relevant Company Group Member prior to the Closing Date in accordance with applicable personnel policies applicable to such employees on the date hereof.
(d)With respect to each Company Employee, effective after the Closing Date, the Company will, or will cause the applicable Company Group Member to, recognize, for all purposes (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan or for purposes of any frozen or terminated plan) under all plans, programs and arrangements established or maintained by the Company Group for the benefit of the Company Employees, all previous service with Sellers and their Affiliates, including the Company Group, prior to the Closing Date to the extent such service was recognized under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan covering such Company Employees including, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit levels, except where credit would result in duplication of benefits.
(e)Except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 6.10(a) through 6.10(d), Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) shall retain (or if necessary, assume) all Liabilities and responsibility for and shall indemnify and hold Buyer, its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) and, following the Closing, the Company Group, harmless from and against, all Parent Employment Liabilities.
(f)Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Company Employee or any other Person any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company Group, Sellers, or any of its Subsidiaries, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company Group, Sellers, or any of its Subsidiaries which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Company Employee at any time for any reason
58

whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company Group and any Company Employee or any severance, benefit or other applicable plan, policy or program covering such Company Employee. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.10 shall (i) be deemed or construed to be an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan, (ii) prevent the Company Group, Sellers, or any of its Subsidiaries from amending or terminating any Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan in accordance with their terms or (iii) create any third-party rights in any current or former service provider of the Company Group (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).
(g)The Parties agree to the terms set forth in Schedule 6.10(g).
Section 6.11 Use of Names and Trademarks. Subject to the terms of the Trademark License Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that Sellers and their Affiliates are retaining all rights with respect to the name “Roper,” “Roper Technologies,” “Roper Industries”, and any other name containing “Roper” (collectively, the “Seller Marks”). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event within 60 days after the Closing Date, as such period may be extended upon the Parties’ mutual agreement in good faith (the “Transition Period”), Company will, at its own expense, remove any and all exterior signs and other identifiers located on or attached to the property, building, vehicles, signs or premises of the Company Group that include the Seller Marks. Additionally, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event within the Transition Period, the Company will remove from all letterhead, envelopes, invoices, supplies, labels, product packaging and inserts, web site publications, promotional materials, marketing collateral, advertisements and other communications media of any kind of the Company Group, and all references to the Seller Marks. Except as otherwise set forth in the Trademark License Agreement, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it will have no right to use any of the Seller Marks or any derivative thereof after the conclusion of the Transition Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing herein shall require the Company to remove any Seller Marks from, or preclude the Company from making reference to the Seller Marks in, any materials used by the Company Group internally or retained for archival or compliance purposes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Roper Industries Manufacturing (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. and Shanghai Roper Industries Trading Co. Ltd. may reference the Seller Marks in their letterhead, envelopes, invoices, supplies, labels, product packaging and inserts, web site publications, promotional materials, marketing collateral, advertisements and other communications media of any kind through January 1, 2025.
Section 6.12 Guarantees; Commitments.
(a)After the Closing, the Company will forever indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers and any of their Affiliates against any Liabilities, damages, costs or expenses that Sellers or any of their Affiliates suffers, incurs or is liable for following the Closing by reason of or arising out of or in consequence of: (i) Sellers or any of their Affiliates issuing, making payment under, being required to pay or reimburse the issuer of, or being a party to, any guarantee, lease, indemnity, surety bond, letter of credit, letter of comfort or other obligation to the extent given in favor of the Company Group and (x) listed on Exhibit 6.12(a) or (y) entered into after the date hereof in accordance with Section 6.1 (collectively, the “Indemnified Guarantees”); (ii) any claim or demand for payment made on a Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to any of the Indemnified Guarantees; or (iii) any Action by any Person who is or claims to be entitled to the benefit of or claims to be entitled to payment, reimbursement or indemnity with respect to any Indemnified Guarantees.
(b)Prior to the Closing, Buyer will use all reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Group Members to be substituted in all respects for Sellers and any of their Affiliates, and for Sellers and their Affiliates to be released, effective as of the Closing, in respect of all obligations of Sellers and any of their Affiliates under each of the Indemnified Guarantees, and Sellers and their Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer and the Company with respect thereto. For any Indemnified Guarantee for which a Company Group Member is not substituted
59

in all respects for Sellers and their Affiliates (and for which Sellers and their Affiliates are not released) effective as of the Closing, the Company will continue to use all reasonable best efforts and will cause the Company Group Members to use all reasonable best efforts to effect such substitution and release after the Closing, and Sellers and their Affiliates shall continue to reasonably cooperate with the Company with respect thereto.

Effective as of the Closing, Buyer on behalf of itself and its past, present or future successors, assigns, employees, agents, equityholders, partners, Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company Group) and Representatives (including their past, present or future officers and directors) (the “Company Release Parties”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, acquits and forever discharges Sellers and their predecessors, successors, parents, Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and all of their respective current and former officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, employees, agents and other Representatives, and each individual who was a director of a Company Group Member at or prior to the Closing (the “Seller Release Parties”), of and from any and all Actions, damages, accounts and Liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) whether known or unknown, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, direct or derivative (“Claims”), held by any Company Release Party to the extent arising out of or relating to Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ ownership of the Company Group or such director’s service as a director of such Company Group Member, except for any of the foregoing set forth in, pursuant to, or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and except in the case of fraud. Effective as of the Closing, each Seller on behalf of itself and the other Seller Release Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, acquits and forever discharges the Company Release Parties from any and all Claims held by any Seller Release Party to the extent arising out of or relating to the actions or omissions of any Company Release Party prior to the Closing in relation to the Company Group or their respective pre-Closing businesses, operations and properties, except for any of the foregoing set forth in, pursuant to, or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and except in the case of fraud.

Section 6.16 Restructuring.
(a)Prior to the Closing, Sellers will, and will cause their applicable Affiliates to, complete the Restructuring in accordance with Exhibit 1.1(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, from and after the date hereof, Sellers and their applicable Affiliates may make amendments and modifications to Exhibit 1.1(c) that they determine, acting reasonably and in good faith, are necessary or advisable; provided, however, that Sellers will not, and will cause their applicable Affiliates not to, make any amendments or modifications to Exhibit 1.1(c) that, as determined by Buyer acting reasonably and in good faith, would impair the
60

step-up in asset tax basis for Buyer or would otherwise have a material and adverse effect on Buyer or, following the Closing, the Company Group without the prior written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(b)(i) Prior to the Closing, Buyer and Sellers will cooperate reasonably and in good faith to negotiate an amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Holdings (including terms relating to a management equity incentive plan that are substantially consistent with management equity plans utilized by portfolio companies affiliated with the Sponsor) (such agreement, the “Holdings LLC Agreement”) and (ii) the Company and Sellers will cause the Holdings LLC Agreement to be executed at or prior to the Closing.
Section 6.17 Insurance.
(a)From and after the Closing Date, the Company Group will cease to be in any manner insured by, entitled to any benefits or coverage under or entitled to seek benefits or coverage from or under any Insurance Policies other than (i) any Insurance Policy issued exclusively in the name and for the benefit of any Company Group Member; (ii) with respect to any matters covered by an Insurance Policy that are properly reported to the relevant insurer(s) prior to the Closing Date; or (iii) solely under the Available Insurance Policies that are (A) occurrence-based policies, for any claim, occurrence or Loss that occurred or existed prior to the Closing Date, and (B) claims-made policies, for any claims that existed prior to the Closing Date or for any claims made after the Closing Date that relate to any wrongful acts, circumstances or liabilities that existed, in whole or in part, prior to the Closing Date, in each case under clauses (i) through (iii) above subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant Insurance Policies and this Agreement, except to the extent otherwise mandated by Law. “Available Insurance Policies” means Insurance Policies listed on Schedule 6.17(a). The Company Group will procure all contractual and statutorily obligated insurance at the Closing.
(b)The rights of the Company Group under subparagraphs (a)(ii) and (iii) above are subject to and conditioned upon the following:
(i)the Company Group will be solely responsible for notifying any and all insurance companies of such claims and the Company Group and Sellers will comply with all policy terms and conditions for pursuit and collection of such claims. No Company Group Member will, without the written consent of Sellers or one or more of their Affiliates, amend, modify or waive any rights of Sellers, one or more of their Affiliates, or other insureds under any such Insurance Policies. The Company Group will exclusively bear and be liable (and Sellers and their Affiliates will have no obligation to repay or reimburse the Company Group) for all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts relating to or associated with all such claims (including any deductible, self-insured retention and similar concepts); and
(ii)with respect to coverage claims or requests for benefits asserted by the Company Group under the Available Insurance Policies, Sellers and their Affiliates will have the right but not the duty to monitor or associate with such claims; provided that the Company Group shall retain control of the defense and settlement of such claims. The Company Group will be liable for any fees, costs or expenses incurred by Sellers and their Affiliates directly or indirectly through the insurers or reinsurers of the Available Insurance Policies relating to any unsuccessful coverage claims. The Company will prevent Company Group Members from assigning any Available Insurance Policies or any rights or claims under the Available Insurance Policies.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) nothing in this Agreement will limit, waive or abrogate in any manner any rights of any Seller or its Affiliates to insurance coverage for any matter, whether relating to the Company or otherwise, and (ii) Sellers and their Affiliates will retain the exclusive right to control the Available Insurance Policies and all of its other Insurance Policies, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its Insurance Policies
61

and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such Insurance Policies; provided that Sellers shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, amend, modify, terminate or waive any coverage under any Available Insurance Policy in a manner that would impair coverage thereunder available for any claim or incident that arises, in whole or in part, prior to the Closing Date or otherwise limit the rights of the Company Group under this Section 6.17; provided that the Company Group will cooperate with Sellers and their Affiliates with respect to coverage claims and requests for benefits and sharing such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit Sellers and their Affiliates to manage and conduct its insurance matters as Sellers or their Affiliates deem appropriate. With respect to any insurance proceeds, Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, instruct the insurer that such proceeds are paid directly to the injured party in settlement of any claims rather than to Sellers or their Affiliates or, if such proceeds are received by Sellers or their Affiliates, pay such proceeds over to the Company Group.
(d)With respect to all open, closed, new and re-opened claims covered under Sellers’ and their Affiliates’ U.S. workers’ compensation and employers’ liability Insurance Policies or comparable workers’ compensation self-insurance programs relating to employees arising from occurrences prior to the Closing Date, Buyer will, or will cause each Company Group Member to, promptly reimburse Sellers and their Affiliates for all claim payments, costs and expenses relating to such claims, as well as any catastrophic coverage charges, overhead, claim handling and administrative costs, Taxes, surcharges, state assessments and other related costs, in each case irrespective of whether such claims are made by a Company Group Member, Company Employees, or third parties. Any payments, costs and adjustments required to be made pursuant to this Section 6.17 will be billed quarterly and payable within 30 days from receipt of invoice, according to the terms outlined in the Transition Services Agreement.
(e)No payments due under this Section 6.17 will affect, be affected by, or be subject to set off against any adjustment to the Purchase Price.
Section 6.18[Reserved].
Section 6.19 Non-Competition.
(a)Except as permitted by Section 6.19(b), for three years after the Closing Date (the “Noncompete Period”), neither Seller shall, and each Seller shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, either for itself or for any other Person, own, manage, control, participate in, or in any other manner engage in all or any portion of the Covered Business, which, solely for purposes of this Section 6.19, will exclude (i) the Retained Businesses, (ii) any reasonable expansion of the Retained Businesses and (iii) the Sunquest Business. For purposes of this Section 6.19, the term “participate” includes any direct or indirect interest in any enterprise, whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, sole proprietor, agent, representative, independent contractor, seller, franchisor, franchisee, creditor, or owner. For the Noncompete Period, neither Sellers shall, and each Seller shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly through another Person (x) call on, solicit, or service any customer, supplier or other material business relation of any Company Group Member (a “Business Client”) with respect to products or services that have been provided by any Company Group Member or are currently being provided by any Company Group Member or which any Company Group Member has a proof of concept and is currently in the process of developing or (y) encourage, induce or solicit, or attempt to encourage, induce or solicit, any Business Client to cease doing, or significantly reduce, business with any Company Group Member; provided, however, that this Section 6.19(a) shall not preclude either Seller or any of its respective Affiliates from placing general advertisements not specifically directed at any of the Business Clients or from servicing any Business Client who responds to such general advertisement.
(b)Sellers and their respective Affiliates shall not be prohibited from:
(i)acquiring or holding all or any portion of the assets or equity interests of any Person engaged in the Covered Business so long as such Covered Business does
62

not account for more than 10% of the revenues of such assets or such Person (based on the latest relevant annual financial statements); provided, that Sellers shall, or, if applicable, shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) limit the scope of such Covered Business or (B) divest a portion of the assets that constitute such Covered Business, in each case, within six months after the revenue threshold set forth in this Section 6.19(b)(i) has been exceeded and solely to the extent required to comply with the revenue thresholds set forth in this Section 6.19(b)(i);
(ii)acquiring, holding of investments or owning, directly or indirectly, any voting stock, capital stock or other voting equity interest of any Person engaged in the Covered Business, so long as such ownership interest represents not more than 10% of the aggregate voting power of such Person;
(iii)continuing to engage in (A) the Retained Businesses or (B) any reasonable expansion of the Retained Businesses; or
(iv)performing their obligations or exercising their rights under this Agreement.
(c)During the Noncompete Period, neither Seller shall, and each Seller shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly through another Person (i) encourage, induce, solicit or attempt to encourage, induce or solicit any officer, director or employee (of senior manager level or above) of any Company Group Member to leave the employ of such Company Group Member or (ii) hire or employ any Person who was an officer, director or employee (of senior manager level or above) of any Company Group Member at any time during the six month period immediately prior to the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 6.19(c) shall not preclude any Seller or its Affiliates from placing general solicitations not specifically directed at any of the officers, directors or employees of the Company Group or from hiring or employing any Person, including any Person who was an officer, director or employee (of senior manager level or above), who responds to such general solicitations.
(d)Each Seller acknowledges and represents (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) that: (i) sufficient consideration has been given by each party to this Agreement to the other as it relates hereto; (ii) such Seller and its Affiliates have consulted with independent legal counsel regarding its rights and obligations under this Section 6.19; (iii) such Seller and its Affiliates fully understand the terms and conditions contained herein; (iv) the scope of the Covered Business is independent of location (such that it is not practical to limit the restrictions contained in this Section 6.19 to a specified country, city or part thereof); (v) the restrictions and agreements in this Section 6.19 are reasonable in all respects and necessary for the protection of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and their respective confidential information and goodwill and that, without such protection, the Company Group customer and client relationship and competitive advantage would be materially adversely affected; and (vi) the agreements in this Section 6.19 are an essential inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and they are in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any similar or related covenants to which either Seller is party or by which it is bound.
(e)If at any time a court or arbitrator’s award holds that the restrictions in this Section 6.19 are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area.
Section 6.20 Financing.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary to arrange and cause the Company Group to obtain the Financing on a timely basis (taking into account the anticipated timing of the Marketing Period) on terms and conditions not less favorable to Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the
63

Closing, the Company Group) than those contained in the applicable Commitment Letters and the Fee Letter (including any “market flex” provisions that are contained in the Fee Letter), including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the applicable Commitment Letters (subject to Buyer’s right to replace, restate, supplement, modify, assign, substitute, waive or amend the Commitment Letters in accordance herewith), (ii) cause the Company Group to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter (such definitive agreements being referred to as the “Debt Financing Agreements”) on terms and conditions not less favorable to Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company Group) than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (including any such “market flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter), provided that such Debt Financing Agreements shall not, without the prior written consent of Sellers (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise replace, amend, supplement or modify any of the conditions, to the receipt of the Debt Financing, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) make the funding of the Debt Financing (or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing) less likely to occur or (B) materially delay or prevent the Closing, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis (taking into account the anticipated timing of the Marketing Period) or obtain, and use reasonable best efforts to cause the Debt Financing Sources to provide, the waiver of all conditions applicable to Buyer contained in the applicable Commitment Letters (or any definitive agreements related thereto) that are within Buyer’s control, (iv) enforce its rights under the Commitment Letters or the Debt Financing Agreements and (v) cause the Company Group to consummate the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters and the Fee Letter substantially concurrently with the Closing. Buyer shall keep Sellers informed upon request on a reasonable basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing. Buyer shall give Sellers prompt notice upon having knowledge of any material breach by any party to any of the Commitment Letters or any termination of, or failure to satisfy any condition precedent that has not been waived set forth in, any of the Commitment Letters. Buyer will promptly (and in any event within two Business Days of receipt) provide the Sellers with any material notices from the Debt Financing Sources relating to the availability of the Debt Financing at the Closing.
(b)Other than as set forth in this Section 6.20(b) or Section 6.20(c), prior to the Closing, Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of Sellers (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), replace, amend, supplement, modify or amend and restate (or enter into any consent, waiver or forbearance with respect to) any provision of the Commitment Letters (it being understood that the exercise of any “market flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter shall not be deemed a replacement, amendment, supplement, modification or waiver) to the extent such replacement, amendment, supplement, modification or waiver would (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing such that Buyer and the Company Group would not or do not have sufficient cash proceeds to permit (I) the Company Group to pay the Estimated Distribution Amount on the Closing Date and (II) Buyer to pay the Purchase Price on the Closing Date or (ii) impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise replace, amend, supplement or modify any of the conditions, to the receipt of the Financing, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) make the funding of the Financing (or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing) less likely to occur or (B) materially delay or prevent the Closing; provided that Buyer may replace, amend, supplement or modify the Debt Commitment Letter to add as parties thereto lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities (or titles with respect to such entities) that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement (it being understood that the aggregate commitments of the lenders party to the Debt Commitment Letter prior to such replacement, amendment, supplement or modification may be reduced in the amount of such additional party’s commitments); provided, further, that Buyer shall notify Sellers in writing of any such replacement, amendment, supplement or other modification of, or waiver of any provision or remedy under, any Commitment Letter reasonably promptly, and in any event within two Business Days, after the time such replacement, amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is agreed. Upon any such replacement, amendment, supplement, other modification or amendment and restatement of, or consent, waiver or forbearance under, the Equity Commitment Letter or Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with this Section 6.20, the term
64

“Equity Commitment Letter” or “Debt Commitment Letter”, as applicable thereto, shall mean such Commitment Letter as so replaced, amended, supplemented, modified, amended and restated, consented to, waived or forborne (and consequently the terms “Debt Financing”, “Equity Financing” and “Financing” shall mean the Equity Financing and the Debt Financing contemplated by such Commitment Letters as so replaced, amended, supplemented, modified amended and restated, consented to, waived or forborne) and the term “Lenders” shall mean the lenders party to such Debt Commitment Letter as so replaced, amended, supplemented, modified, amended and restated, consented to, waived or forborne.
(c)If all or any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (including any “market flex” provisions that are contained in the Fee Letter) (other than as a result of Sellers’ breach of any provision of this Agreement, or failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3), Buyer shall (i) promptly, and in any event within two Business Days, notify Sellers of such unavailability and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and cause the Company Group to obtain the Debt Financing or such portion of the Debt Financing from the same or alternative sources, which may include one or more of a senior secured debt financing, an offering and sale of notes, or any other financing or offer and sale of other debt securities, or any combination thereof, in an amount such that the aggregate funds that would be available to (i) the Company Group at the Closing will be sufficient to pay the Estimated Distribution Amount on the Closing Date and (ii) Buyer at the Closing will be sufficient to pay the Purchase Price on the Closing Date (the “Alternative Financing”); provided that Buyer shall not be required to arrange or cause the Company Group to obtain any Alternative Financing having terms and conditions (including “market flex” provisions) less favorable to Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company Group) than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter; provided, further, that (i) Buyer will cooperate reasonably and in good faith with Sellers in the negotiation of the terms of any such Alternative Financing, which shall include providing the proposed terms of such Alternative Financing to Sellers and considering in good faith Sellers’ reasonable feedback and comments on such terms (it being understood and agreed that decisions regarding the terms of any such Alternative Financing shall be in the sole discretion of Buyer), and (ii) Buyer shall deliver to Sellers complete and correct copies of all replacements, amendments, supplements, other modifications or agreements pursuant to which any Alternative Financing shall be made available to Buyer reasonably promptly after the time such replacements, amendments, supplements, other modifications or agreements are agreed, and in any event within two Business Days. In such event, the term “Debt Financing” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Alternative Financing (and consequently the term “Financing” shall include the Equity Financing and the Alternative Financing), the term “Debt Commitment Letter” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the commitment letter with respect to such Alternative Financing (and consequently the term “Commitment Letters” shall include the Equity Commitment Letter and the commitment letter with respect to such Alternative Financing), and the term “Lenders” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the lenders party to the commitment letter with respect to such Alternative Financing.
(d)During the period between the date hereof and the Closing Date, upon the reasonable request of Buyer, and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense to the extent subject to the expense reimbursement provisions in the last two sentences of this Section 6.20(d), Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (including the Company Group) to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any of their and their respective Representatives to, provide customary cooperation in connection with Buyer’s arrangement and coordination of the Debt Financing, including:

65

(ii)causing senior management of the Company Group, with appropriate seniority and expertise, at reasonable times upon reasonable notice, to assist in preparation and participate in a reasonable number of meetings (including customary one-on-one meetings with the parties acting as lead arrangers, bookrunners or agents for, and prospective lenders and buyers of, the Debt Financing), presentations, road shows, sessions with rating agencies, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions between senior management and the Debt Financing Sources in connection with the Debt Financing;

For the avoidance of doubt, while Sellers may pursue both a grant of specific performance (other than against any Debt Financing Source) and the payment of the Termination Fee, (x) under no circumstances shall Sellers or the Company be entitled to
73

monetary damages, except, solely to the extent required by this Section 8.2(e), the Termination Fee and (y) under no circumstances shall Sellers or the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance pursuant to Section 10.12(b) and any portion of the Termination Fee.

Section 10.8 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that any Legal Dispute will be brought only in the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware or the federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and each Party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Legal Dispute and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Legal Dispute in any such court or that any such Legal Dispute that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 10.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE DEBT FINANCING OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
Section 10.10 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof) as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.
Section 10.11 Waiver of Conflicts; Privilege.
(a)Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that Jones Day (“JD”) has acted as counsel to each of the Company Group and Sellers in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer hereby consents and agrees to, and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Group to consent and agree to, JD representing Sellers and any of their Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) after the Closing, including with respect to disputes in which the interests of the Seller Parties may be directly adverse to Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Company Group) regarding this Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, Buyer hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause the Company Group to irrevocably waive and not to assert in any dispute regarding this Agreement any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with JD’s representation of the Seller Parties in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby prior to and after the Closing. Buyer represents that Buyer’s attorney has explained and helped Buyer evaluate the implications and risks of waiving the right to assert a future conflict against JD, and Buyer’s consent with respect to this waiver is fully informed.
(b)Buyer further agrees, on behalf of itself and, after the Closing, on behalf of the Company Group, that all communications subject to any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or other similar protection for the benefit of the Seller Parties, in any form or format whatsoever between or among JD, on one hand, and any Company Group Member or any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees or other Representatives, on the other hand, to the extent relating to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any dispute arising under this Agreement (collectively, the “Privileged Deal Communications”) will be deemed to be retained and owned collectively by the Seller Parties, will be controlled by Sellers on behalf of the Seller Parties and will not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or the Company Group.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a dispute arises between Buyer or any Company Group Member, on the one hand, and a third party other than Sellers, on the other hand, Buyer or the Company Group Member may assert the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or other similar protection for the benefit of the Seller Parties to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Deal Communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor any Company Group Member may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Sellers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Buyer or any Company Group Member is legally required by any Order or otherwise to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Deal Communications following the Closing, Buyer will as soon as reasonably practicable notify Sellers in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section 10.11) so that Sellers can seek a protective order and Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, at the Seller Parties’ expense, to assist therewith.
77

(d)To the extent that files or other materials maintained by JD that contain Privileged Deal Communications constitute property of its clients, only the Seller Parties will hold such property rights and JD will have no duty to reveal or disclose any Privileged Deal Communications contained in such files or other materials or any other Privileged Deal Communications by reason of any attorney-client relationship between JD, on the one hand, and the Company Group, on the other hand.
(e)Buyer agrees that it will not, and the Company agrees that it will cause each of the Company Group Members not to, use any Privileged Deal Communications against the Seller Parties in connection with any dispute between Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer and the Company Group, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(f)This Section 10.11 is for the benefit of JD and JD is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 10.11. This Section 10.11 will be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 10.11 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of JD.
Section 10.12 Specific Performance.
(a)The Parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy and accordingly, subject to Section 10.12(b), the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each Party will be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy.
(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, prior to a valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, Sellers shall be entitled to seek specific performance to cause Buyer to (x) draw down the Closing Commitment (as defined in the Equity Commitment Letter) portion of the Equity Financing pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter and/or to consummate the Closing, in each case, if and only if, each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been and continue to be satisfied or waived by Buyer at the time when the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.3 (other than those conditions that by their nature, are to be fulfilled by actions taken at the Closing, each of which must be capable of being satisfied at the Closing), (ii) the Debt Financing has been or would be funded at the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter assuming the Equity Financing is funded, (iii) Buyer fails to consummate the Closing at the time when the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.3, (iv) Sellers are ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing and have irrevocably confirmed in a written notice that if specific performance is granted and the Financing is funded, then the Closing will occur and (v) Buyer fails to consummate the Closing within three Business Days following the delivery of the written notice specified in clause (iv) above and (y) draw down the Earnout Commitment (as defined in the Equity Commitment Letter) portion of the Equity Financing pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter if, and only if, each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (I) the Closing has occurred, (II) an Earnout Amount is payable pursuant to Section 2.9(c) and (III) Buyer fails to pay the Earnout Amount within three Business Days following the date on which such payment is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.9(c).
Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all of which will constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by email transmission will be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of the Agreement.
Section 10.14 Amendment; Modification. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time only by written agreement of the Parties; provided
78

that, to the extent any amendment or waiver to Section 8.2(c), Section 8.2(e), Section 9.1 (as it relates to the survival of provisions of Article X of this Agreement), Section 10.4, Section 10.5, Section 10.9, Section 10.10, this Section 10.14 or Section 10.19 (and with respect to any of the foregoing sections, any of the defined terms used therein) is sought which is adverse to the rights of the Debt Financing Sources, the prior written consent of the Lenders shall be required before such amendment or waiver is rendered effective.
Section 10.15 Schedules. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule referenced by a particular Section in this Agreement will be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other Section in this Agreement to the extent it is reasonably apparent on its face that the disclosure of such matter is applicable to such Section. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedules is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party will use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.
Section 10.16 Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth in this Agreement, time is of the essence.
Section 10.17 Bulk Sales Laws. Sellers and Buyer each hereby waive compliance by Sellers with the provisions of the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” or similar Laws of any state or any jurisdiction outside the United States.
Section 10.18 Language; Prevailing Documents. This Agreement has been, and the Ancillary Agreements will be, prepared in the English language. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between the English language version of such documents and any translation thereof made for any purpose, the English language version will govern the interpretation and construction of such documents, and for any and all other purposes, except as may be required by applicable Law. In the event that any of the terms of this Agreement conflict with any of the terms of the Ancillary Agreements, the terms of this Agreement will prevail.
Section 10.19 No Recourse for Debt Financing Sources.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of Sellers (on behalf of itself and the other Seller Release Parties), the Company Group, Parent and their respective Affiliates and Representatives agrees: (i) that any action of any kind or nature, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, involving a Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be brought exclusively in (x) the courts of New York State sitting in the Borough of Manhattan or (y) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, (ii) not to bring or permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such action in any other court, (iii) that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at its address provided in Section 10.2 shall be effective service of process against it for any such action brought in any such court, (iv) to waive and hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such action in any such court, (v) that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law, (vi) that, except as specifically set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, any such action shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction and (vii) to irrevocably waive and hereby waives any right to a
79

trial by jury in any such action to the same extent such rights are waived pursuant to Section 10.9.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers (on behalf of itself and the other Seller Release Parties), the Company Group, Parent and their respective Affiliates (with respect to the Closing or the period prior to the Closing) (i) shall not have, and hereby waives, any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise and (ii) agrees not to commence any litigation against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity and agrees to cause any such litigation asserted by Sellers and the Company (with respect to the Closing or the period prior to the Closing) (each on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and Representatives) in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby against any Debt Financing Source to be dismissed or otherwise terminated. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waiver, it is acknowledged and agreed that no Debt Financing Source shall have any liability for any claims or damages to Sellers or the Company (with respect to the Closing or the period prior to the Closing) or their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.19(b) shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of Buyer or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement or the Debt Commitment Letter, any Debt Financing Source’s obligations to Buyer or any of its Affiliates under the Debt Commitment Letter or any Debt Financing Source’s obligations to Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing Date, the Company Group) under the definitive agreements governing the Debt Financing.
