WHEREAS, Pluto and Newquay (or one or more of their respective wholly owned Subsidiaries) shall enter into the Transition Services Agreement as of the Closing.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 2.1 Closing. The closing of the transactions provided for in this Agreement with respect to the sale and purchase of the Rover Equity Interest (the “Closing”) shall take place (a) at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, 1440 New York Avenue N.W., Washington, DC 20005 (or remotely via the electronic exchange of executed documents) at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which the last of the conditions required to be satisfied or waived pursuant to Article VII is either satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to satisfaction or waiver thereof), or (b) at such other place, time or date as the Parties shall agree upon in writing.

(ii) Newquay shall, in good faith and at Newquay’s expense, prepare, or cause to be prepared, the Rover Estimated Closing Statement on a basis consistent with the Rover Applicable Accounting Principles. Newquay shall give, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to give, Pluto and its Representatives reasonable access to such books, records and personnel of Rover (including the work papers of Newquay and its accountants relating to the preparation of the Rover Estimated Closing Statement and such calculations based thereon) as may be necessary to enable Pluto and its Representatives to review the Rover Estimated Closing Statement and such calculations based thereon prior to the Closing.

Section 2.6 Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Newquay and Pluto (and its respective Affiliates or agents) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from all amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under the Code or any other provision of applicable Requirement of Law; provided, however, that if Newquay or Pluto or anyone acting on its respective behalf believes that any withholding is required with respect to any amounts payable under this Agreement, such Person shall, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date or, if different, the date such payment will be made, provide the applicable payee with written notice of the intention to withhold and the opportunity for such payee to provide any statement, form or other documentation that would reduce or eliminate the requirement to withhold. Each of Newquay and Pluto (and its respective Affiliates) shall reasonably cooperate with the other party to reduce and mitigate any withholding Taxes under applicable Requirement of Law.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.6 shall not apply to Transfer Taxes. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that as of the date of this Agreement, such Party does not believe that any deduction or withholding of any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement is required.

ARTICLE III

POST-CLOSING ADJUSTMENTS

Section 3.1 Rover Final Closing Statement.

(a) (i) Not later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date or such other time as is mutually agreed by the Parties, Newquay shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Pluto a written statement setting forth a calculation in reasonable detail of the Rover Adjustment Items (the “Rover Final Closing Statement”), determined as of the Effective Time (and without giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby). The Rover Final Closing Statement shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the Rover Applicable Accounting Principles.

(ii) From and after the Closing, in connection with the preparation and delivery of the Rover Final Closing Statement and related calculations as set forth therein and during the period of any dispute contemplated by this Section 3.1, Newquay shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, and Pluto shall, and shall cause Rover and its respective Representatives to, (A) provide the other Party and its Representatives with reasonable access to the relevant books and records, facilities and employees and (B) cooperate in good faith with the other Party and its Representatives, including by providing on a timely basis all information reasonably necessary in or reasonably related to the preparation of the Rover Final Closing Statement and calculations as set forth therein.

4

(b) Within 45 days following its receipt of the Rover Final Closing Statement, Pluto shall deliver to Newquay either (i) its agreement as to the calculation of the Rover Adjustment Items as set forth therein or (ii) a written dispute notice, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of its dispute of the calculation of the Rover Adjustment Items as set forth therein; provided that Pluto may dispute the calculation of the Rover Adjustment Items as set forth in the Rover Final Closing Statement only on the basis that such calculation was not made in accordance with the Rover Applicable Accounting Principles, or on the basis of arithmetic error. During the 30 days after the delivery of a dispute notice to Newquay, Newquay and Pluto shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such dispute and finally determine the amounts, as applicable, of the Rover Adjustment Items as set forth in the Rover Final Closing Statement. If at the end of such 30-day period, Newquay and Pluto have failed to reach agreement with respect to such dispute, the matter shall be submitted to KPMG, or, if such firm is unwilling to act, such other internationally recognized accounting firm that is not the principal independent auditor for either Pluto or Newquay and is otherwise neutral and impartial and mutually agreed upon by Pluto and Newquay, provided, however, that if Pluto and Newquay are unable to select such other accounting firm within 45 days after delivery of a dispute notice to Newquay, either Party may request the American Arbitration Association to appoint, within 20 Business Days from the date of such request, an independent accounting firm meeting the requirements set forth above. The accounting firm so selected shall be referred to herein as the “Accountant.” The Accountant, as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall resolve the disputed portions of the calculation of the Rover Adjustment Items as set forth in the Rover Final Closing Statement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In making such determination, the Accountant may only consider those items and amounts as to which Newquay and Pluto have disagreed within the time periods and on the terms specified above and must resolve the matter in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided that the determination of the Accountant will neither be more favorable to Newquay than reflected in the Rover Final Closing Statement nor more favorable to Pluto than reflected in Pluto’s dispute notice. The Accountant shall deliver to Pluto and Newquay, as promptly as practicable after its appointment (and in no event later than 60 days), a written report setting forth the resolution of each disputed matter and its determination of the amounts of the Rover Adjustment Items as set forth in the Rover Final Closing Statement as determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such report shall be final and binding upon the Parties to the fullest extent permitted under Requirements of Law and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction. Each of Newquay and Pluto shall bear all the fees and costs incurred by it in connection with the Accountant’s resolution of any disputed items pursuant to this Section 3.1(b), except that all fees and expenses relating to the foregoing work by the Accountant shall be borne by Newquay and Pluto in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Accountant, which proportionate allocation will also be determined by the Accountant and be included in the Accountant’s written report.

(c) Each Party shall make available to the other Party its (and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its accountants to make available their) work papers, schedules and other supporting data as may reasonably be requested by such Party to enable such Party to verify the calculations of the Rover Adjustment Items as set forth in the Rover Final Closing Statement, subject to customary confidentiality and indemnity agreements.

5

Section 3.2 Post-Closing Payment. On the second Business Day after the later of (x) the date Newquay and Pluto agree to the calculations of the Rover Adjustment Items as set forth in the Rover Final Closing Statement and the Rover Adjustment Amount and (y) if Newquay and Pluto are unable to agree on such calculations of the Rover Adjustment Items or the Rover Adjustment Amount, the date that Newquay and Pluto receive notice from the Accountant of the final determination of the amount(s) being so disputed,

(a) in the event that the Rover Adjustment Amount as calculated using the Rover Final Closing Statement (and amounts calculated therefrom) is greater than the Rover Adjustment Amount as calculated using the Rover Estimated Closing Statement (and amounts calculated therefrom), Pluto shall pay, or cause to be paid, in cash by wire transfer of same day immediately available funds to Newquay an amount equal to such excess; and

(b) in the event that the Rover Adjustment Amount as calculated using the Rover Final Closing Statement (and amounts calculated therefrom) is less than the Rover Adjustment Amount as calculated using the Rover Estimated Closing Statement (and amounts calculated therefrom), Newquay shall pay, or cause to be paid, in cash by wire transfer of same day immediately available funds to Pluto an amount equal to such difference.

Section 6.2 Access and Confidentiality.

(a) From the date hereof to the Closing, subject to any Requirement of Law and Sections 6.2(b) and 6.2(c), Newquay shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, permit Pluto and its financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives to have reasonable access, during regular business hours and upon reasonable advance notice for purposes reasonably related to the Transactions, to their respective properties, premises, facilities, employees and representatives and the relevant books and records; provided, however, that Newquay may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (i) any Requirement of Law requires Newquay or its Affiliates to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information, (ii) access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege or other privilege applicable to such documents or information (in which event the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to seek alternative means to disclose such information as nearly as possible without affecting such attorney-client or such other privilege, including entry into a joint defense agreement) or (iii) access to a Contract to which Newquay or any of its Affiliates is a Party or otherwise bound would violate or cause a default under, or give a third party the right to terminate or accelerate the rights under, such Contract; provided, further, that such access shall be under the supervision of the designated personnel or representatives of Newquay or its Affiliates (provided that no such supervision shall restrict or limit the scope and extent of rights of a Party pursuant to this Section 6.2(a)); provided, further, that, to the extent practicable, all requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) shall be directed to such Person or Persons as may be designated by Newquay, and Pluto shall use its reasonable best efforts not to directly contact any other officer, director, employee, agent or representative of Newquay or its Affiliates without the prior approval of such designated Person(s); provided, further, that no information or knowledge obtained by Pluto in any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.2(a) shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of Newquay set forth in this Agreement or otherwise impair the rights and remedies available to the Party requesting access hereunder; provided, further, that Newquay may limit such access to the extent Newquay reasonably determines, in light of the COVID-19 virus or any COVID-19 Measures, that such access would jeopardize the health and safety of any employee or representative of Newquay or its Affiliates (in which event the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to seek alternative means to disclose such information as nearly as possible without jeopardizing the health and safety of any employee or representative of Newquay or its Affiliates, including by converting any such information to digital format). In the event that Newquay does not provide access or information in reliance on the preceding sentence, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to communicate the applicable information to Pluto in a way that would not violate the applicable Requirement of Law or Contract, waive such a privilege or jeopardize the health and safety of any employee or representative of Newquay or its Affiliates. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.2(a) shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of Newquay or any of its Affiliates or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of Newquay or any of its Affiliates. Any access to the properties of Newquay or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to its reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and shall not include the right to perform invasive testing (including a so-called “Phase 2”) without Newquay’s prior written consent. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information obtained by Pluto or any of its financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.2(a).

31

(b) From and after the Closing until the date that is seven years following the Closing Date, except in connection with the activities contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement as provided therein, neither Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates (including, in the case of Pluto, Rover) and its Affiliates’ personnel (including each of their accountants, legal advisers and other professional advisers) not to, disclose to any other Person or otherwise use any Confidential Information of the other Party; provided that a Party (or any of its Affiliates) may disclose Confidential Information (i) to the extent required pursuant to the Requirements of Law, in any report, statement, testimony or other submission to any Governmental Authority or (ii) in order to comply with any Requirement of Law, or in response to any summons, subpoena or other legal process or formal or informal investigative demand issued to Pluto or Newquay or any of their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, in the course of any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding; provided, further, that if either Party or its Affiliates is, based on the advice of counsel to such Party, required by Requirements of Law to disclose any Confidential Information, such Party shall (A) to the extent such action would not violate or conflict with Requirements of Law, promptly notify the other Party of such Requirement of Law so that the non-disclosing Party may, at its sole expense, seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive in writing the disclosing Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and (B) if, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Party or any of its Affiliates is nonetheless, in the opinion of counsel to such Party, compelled to disclose such Confidential Information, such Party, after notice to the non-disclosing Party (unless such notice would violate or conflict with Requirements of Law), may disclose such Confidential Information to the extent so required, in the opinion of counsel, by Requirements of Law. If requested by the other Party, the Party disclosing such information shall (x) exercise reasonable best efforts, at the non-disclosing Party’s sole expense, to obtain reliable assurances that the Confidential Information so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment or (y) cooperate with any attempt by the non-disclosing Party to obtain reliable assurances that the Confidential Information so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment. Each Party agrees, and shall cause its Affiliates, to protect the Confidential Information by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of such as each Party uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature. Neither Party, any of its Affiliates or their respective personnel (including each of its respective Affiliates’ accountants, legal advisers and other professional advisers) shall be liable for the disclosure of Confidential Information as expressly permitted by this Section 6.2(b).

(c) All Confidential Information provided or obtained in connection with the Transactions (including pursuant to Section 6.2(a)) will be held in accordance with the letter agreements between Newquay Topco and Pluto, dated December 1, 2020 and January 12, 2021, respectively (together, the “Confidentiality Agreement”); provided that, in the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will govern.

(d) From and after the Closing, until the date that is twelve months following the Closing Date, upon Pluto’s request with respect to specified pre-Closing books and records reasonably necessary for the operation of the Rover Business by Pluto following the Closing the delivery of which is not otherwise provided for in the Transition Services Agreement, Newquay shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver the requested books and records of Rover to Pluto as promptly as reasonably practicable following any such request; provided that any books and records at any Rover Real Property as of the Closing (and not removed from such property by

32

Newquay or its Affiliates) shall be deemed to have been delivered as of the Closing (it being agreed that Newquay may retain a copy thereof, at its own expense, subject to its confidentiality obligations in accordance with this Section 6.2). From and after the Closing until the date that is seven years following the Closing Date, subject to any Requirement of Law, Newquay will allow Pluto and its representatives to have reasonable access, during regular business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to examine and make copies, at Pluto’s own expense, of any relevant books and records that were retained by Newquay or its Affiliates for any purpose reasonably related to the Rover Business, including in connection with (i) the preparation of Pluto’s accounting records, or with any audits conducted by Pluto, (ii) any third party suit, claim, action, proceeding or investigation relating to the Rover Business or (iii) any regulatory filing or matter; provided that (A) Pluto shall reimburse Newquay promptly for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Newquay, in connection with any such request and (B) Newquay shall not be required to permit the foregoing activities that would (w) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties, or any trade secrets of Newquay or of any of its Affiliates unrelated to the Transactions or (x) violate any obligations of Newquay or its Affiliates to any third party with respect to confidentiality or (y) reasonably be expected to have the effect of causing the waiver of any attorney-client privilege based upon the advice of counsel or (z) violate or cause a default under, or give a third party the right to terminate or accelerate the rights under, any Contract to which Newquay or any of its Affiliates is a Party or otherwise bound; provided, further, that Newquay may limit such access to the extent Newquay reasonably determines, in light of the COVID-19 virus or any COVID-19 Measures, that such access would jeopardize the health and safety of any employee or representative of Newquay or its Affiliates.

(e) From and after the Closing until the date that is seven years following the Closing Date, subject to any Requirement of Law, Pluto will allow Newquay and its representatives to have reasonable access, during regular business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to examine and make copies, at Newquay’s own expense, of any relevant books and records held by Pluto or its Affiliates for any purpose reasonably related to the Rover Business, including in connection with (i) the preparation of Newquay’s accounting records, or with any audits conducted by Newquay, (ii) any third party suit, claim, action, proceeding or investigation relating to the Rover Business or (iii) any regulatory filing or matter; provided that (A) Newquay shall reimburse Pluto promptly for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Pluto, in connection with any such request and (B) Pluto shall not be required to permit the foregoing activities that would (w) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties, or any trade secrets of Pluto or of any of its Affiliates unrelated to the Transactions or (x) violate any obligations of Pluto or its Affiliates to any third party with respect to confidentiality or (y) reasonably be expected to have the effect of causing the waiver of any attorney-client privilege based upon the advice of counsel or (z) violate or cause a default under, or give a third party the right to terminate or accelerate the rights under, any Contract to which Pluto or any of its Affiliates is a Party or otherwise bound; provided, further, that Pluto may limit such access to the extent Pluto reasonably determines, in light of the COVID-19 virus or any COVID-19 Measures, that such access would jeopardize the health and safety of any employee or representative of Pluto or its Affiliates.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 6.2(d) and Section 6.2(e), the provisions of Article VIII shall govern the preservation, retention and sharing of Tax Returns and Tax work papers.

33

(b) In furtherance of the obligations set forth in Section 6.3(a) and otherwise subject to the terms of this Section 6.3, each of the Parties shall make or cause to be made, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, which may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties, all necessary filings with Governmental Authorities related to the Transactions, including (i) an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions to be made by Pluto, (ii) an appropriate joint filing of a Petition pursuant to R.I.G.L.

Each of the Parties shall supply as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any case within any applicable time period set by the applicable Governmental Authority) any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Department of Justice Antitrust Division (the “DOJ”), the Rhode Island Division, the MDPU, FERC or the applicable Governmental Authority with respect to any other approval or authorization necessary or advisable to consummate and make effective the Transactions.

(c) In furtherance of the obligations set forth in Section 6.3(a) and Section 6.3(b) and otherwise subject to the terms of this Section 6.3, (i) Pluto will use its reasonable best efforts to take (and to cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to take) promptly any and all steps reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to obtain all approvals and authorizations of all Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate and make effective the

34

Transactions, including the Pluto Required Statutory Approvals, so as to enable the Parties to close the Transactions as promptly as reasonably practicable, including, if necessary, by proposing, negotiating, committing to and implementing, by way of settlement, stipulation, operational restriction, consent decree, hold separate order, divestiture, undertaking or otherwise, all terms, conditions, Liabilities, commitments, sanctions or undertakings required by applicable Governmental Authorities in respect of Pluto or any of its Affiliates and (ii) Newquay will use reasonable best efforts to take (and to cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to take) promptly any and all steps reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Massachusetts Approval so as to enable the Parties to close the Transactions as promptly as reasonably practicable, including, if necessary, by proposing, negotiating, committing to and implementing, by way of settlement, stipulation, operational restriction, consent decree, hold separate order, divestiture, undertaking or otherwise, all terms, conditions, Liabilities, commitments, sanctions or undertakings required by applicable Governmental Authorities in respect of Newquay or any of its Affiliates.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement (including the obligations set forth in Section 6.3(a), Section 6.3(b) and Section 6.3(c)), (i) neither Pluto nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to, and Newquay and its Affiliates shall not be permitted to without Pluto’s prior written approval, in connection with obtaining any Pluto Required Statutory Approvals, agree or consent to or accept any terms, conditions, liabilities, obligations, commitments, sanctions or undertakings (including settlements, stipulations, operational restrictions, hold separate orders, divestitures or otherwise) as a condition to obtaining the Pluto Required Statutory Approvals that would, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have a Rover Burdensome Effect and (ii) neither Newquay nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to, and Pluto and its Affiliates shall not be permitted to without Newquay’s prior written approval, in connection with obtaining the Massachusetts Approval, agree or consent to or accept any terms, conditions, liabilities, obligations, commitments, sanctions or undertakings (including settlements, stipulations, operational restrictions, hold separate orders, divestitures or otherwise) as a condition to obtaining the Massachusetts Approval that would, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have a Newquay Burdensome Effect. Nothing contained in this Agreement (including the obligations set forth in Section 6.3(a), Section 6.3(b) and Section 6.3(c)) shall require (x) Pluto or any of its Affiliates to agree or consent to or accept any terms, conditions, liabilities, obligations, commitments, sanctions or undertakings (including settlements, stipulations, operational restrictions, hold separate orders, divestitures or otherwise) in connection with obtaining the Pluto Required Statutory Approvals to take any action or agree to any commitment that is not conditioned on the Closing or (y) Newquay or any of its Affiliates to agree or consent to or accept any terms, conditions, liabilities, obligations, commitments, sanctions or undertakings (including settlements, stipulations, operational restrictions, hold separate orders, divestitures or otherwise) in connection with obtaining the Massachusetts Approval to take any action or agree to any commitment that is not conditioned on the Closing. Newquay shall consult in good faith with Pluto and consider in good faith the views of Pluto with respect to the Massachusetts Approval, and Newquay shall not be permitted to without Pluto’s prior written approval, in connection with obtaining the Massachusetts Approval, agree or consent to or accept any terms, conditions, liabilities, obligations, commitments, sanctions or undertakings (including settlements, stipulations, operational restrictions, hold separate orders, divestitures or otherwise) as a condition to obtaining the Massachusetts Approval that would, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Rover in any material respect.

35

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Party shall, nor shall it agree to, directly or indirectly through one or more of its Affiliates, (i) acquire or make any investment in any Person or any division or assets thereof, or enter into any other business combination or similar transaction that would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impair or materially delay the ability of the Parties to consummate the Transactions or (ii) take any other action with the intent to prevent, materially impair or materially delay the ability of the Parties to consummate the Transactions. Any act by an Affiliate of a Party that would be a violation of this Section 6.3(e) if taken by such Party shall be a breach of this Section 6.3(e) by such Party.

(f) Unless prohibited by Requirements of Law or by the applicable Governmental Authority, (i) to the extent reasonably practicable, neither Newquay nor Pluto (nor their respective Representatives on their behalf) shall participate in or attend any meeting, or engage in any substantive discussion with any Governmental Authority (including any member of any Governmental Authority’s staff) in respect of this Agreement or the Transactions (including with respect to any of the actions referred to in Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b)) without providing prior notice of any such meeting or discussion to the other and allowing the other Party to attend such a meeting or discussion (subject to appropriate confidentiality restrictions), (ii) in the event a Party is prohibited by Requirements of Law or by the applicable Governmental Authority from participating in or attending any such meeting or engaging in any such discussion, the other Party shall keep such Party reasonably and promptly apprised with respect thereto, (iii) the Parties shall cooperate in the filing of any substantive memoranda, white papers, filings, correspondence or other written communications explaining or defending this Agreement or the Transactions, articulating any regulatory or competitive argument or responding to requests or objections made by any Governmental Authority or intervenor and allow the other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon prior to submission and take account in good faith any such comments, and (iv) to the extent reasonably practicable, each Party shall promptly provide the other Party copies of all correspondence, filings and communications between it and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority (including any member of any Governmental Authority’s staff), on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions; provided that (x) neither Party shall be under an obligation to disclose confidential information with respect to the Party or its Affiliates to the other Party and (y) the obligations in this sentence do not extend to meetings or discussions by the Parties with applicable Governmental Authorities that are not arranged or held in connection with the Transactions, notwithstanding the fact that the Transactions or the Required Statutory Approvals may be discussed in such meetings or discussions. Newquay and Pluto shall jointly (A) control the strategy for obtaining any Required Statutory Approvals and (B) coordinate the overall development of the positions to be taken and the regulatory actions to be requested in any filing with a Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and the Required Statutory Approvals and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry or litigation by or before, or any negotiations with, a Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions and the Required Statutory Approvals; provided that if the Parties are unable to agree with respect to strategy, positions or other regulatory actions for obtaining the Required Statutory Approvals or other

36

regulatory matters incidental to the Transactions, (1) Pluto shall, acting reasonably and in good faith, direct and control all aspects of the Parties’ efforts to obtain the Pluto Required Statutory Approvals with respect to the matter in dispute and (2) Newquay shall, acting reasonably and in good faith, direct and control all aspects of the Parties’ efforts to obtain the Massachusetts Approval with respect to the matter in dispute. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.3(f) shall not apply to Tax matters except for those Tax matters reasonably anticipated to affect the receipt of any Required Statutory Approvals.

(g) Newquay shall, and shall cause Rover to, reasonably cooperate with Pluto to obtain any consents required from third parties in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under Rover Material Contracts or Permits of Rover at or prior to the Closing. Unless prohibited by Requirements of Law or by the applicable Governmental Authority, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that such Person’s approval, authorization, consent or Permit is or may be required in connection with the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Newquay nor Pluto, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any obligation to make any payments or incur any Liability to obtain any consents of third parties contemplated by this Section 6.3(g).

Section 6.4 Further Assurances. After the Closing Date, each of Pluto and Newquay shall (a) execute and deliver at the reasonable request of the other Party such additional documents and instruments as may be reasonably required to give effect to this Agreement and the Transactions and (b) provide whatever documents or other evidence of ownership as may be reasonably requested by Pluto to confirm its ownership of the Rover Equity Interest. The Parties agree that each of them shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to comply with any such Affiliate’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 6.5 Delivery of Certain Information. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Newquay shall provide, or cause to be provided, to Pluto, (a) promptly following the end of each calendar month after the date hereof (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the date available to Newquay or one of its Affiliates), copies of the monthly financial information for the Rover Business in the form customarily prepared by management for internal use and (b) promptly following the end of each calendar quarter after the date hereof (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the date available to Newquay or one of its Affiliates), true and complete copies of quarterly unaudited financial statements for the Rover Business.

Section 6.6 Guaranties; Letters of Credit; Affiliate Contracts; Intercompany Receivables and Payables.

(a) Except as provided otherwise in this Agreement, Pluto shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause one or more of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Newquay or any of its Affiliates (other than Rover), effective as of the Closing, in respect of all obligations of Newquay or its Affiliates (other than Rover) under each of the guaranties, bonding arrangements, “keep wells,” net worth maintenance agreements, letters of credit and letters of comfort furnished by Newquay or its Affiliates (other than Rover) for the benefit of Rover (the “Newquay Guaranties”). The Newquay Guaranties as of the date of this Agreement are set forth

37

in Schedule 6.6(a) of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule. Newquay shall give Pluto prompt notice of any material additional Newquay Guaranties executed after the date of this Agreement, which such Newquay Guaranties shall not, without Pluto’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), be entered into outside of the ordinary course of business or be materially inconsistent in nature and scope with the Newquay Guaranties set forth on Schedule 6.6(a) of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule. To the extent Pluto is unable to effect such a substitution with respect to any Newquay Guaranty after using its reasonable best efforts to do so (including continuing such reasonable best efforts after the Closing), Pluto shall reimburse and hold harmless Newquay and its Affiliates (other than Rover) with respect to the obligations covered by each of Newquay Guaranties for which Pluto does not effect such substitution and shall pay, or cause to be paid, any amounts due thereunder on demand, such that neither Newquay nor its Affiliates (other than Rover) shall from and after the Closing incur any cost, liability or expense whatsoever arising from or in connection with Newquay Guaranties.

(b) Except as set forth in Schedule 6.6(b) of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, Newquay shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, immediately prior to the Closing, execute and deliver such releases, termination agreements and discharges as are necessary to, and shall, to the extent applicable, use reasonable best efforts to obtain FERC authorization to, terminate all Contracts (including any “service level agreements”) between Newquay or any Affiliate (other than Rover), on the one hand, and Rover, on the other hand, such that from and after the Closing, except with respect to any such Contract where FERC authorization for termination has not yet been obtained, neither Newquay or such Affiliate, on the one hand, nor Rover, on the other hand, shall have any further rights or liabilities under such Contracts.

(c) Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, Newquay shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, enter into one or more arrangements between Rover, on the one hand, and Newquay and its Affiliates (other than Rover), on the other hand, to apply, effective as of the Closing, reasonable arms’ length third-party terms (including payment terms) as mutually agreed between Newquay and Pluto (such terms, the “Third-Party Terms”) to (i) any amounts owing from Newquay or any of its Affiliates (other than Rover) to Rover as of the Effective Time (“Rover Intercompany Receivables”) and (ii) any amounts owing from Rover to Newquay or any of its Affiliates (other than Rover) as of the Effective Time (“Rover Intercompany Payables”), including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Rover Intercompany Receivables or any Rover Intercompany Payables under the Intercompany Money Pool. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (x) Newquay and its Affiliates shall not be required to terminate, cancel, settle or otherwise eliminate any Rover Intercompany Receivables or Rover Intercompany Payables as of the Closing, (y) all Rover Intercompany Receivables and Rover Intercompany Payables shall be settled following the Closing in the ordinary course of business between Rover and Newquay or the applicable Affiliate of Newquay (other than Rover) in accordance with the Third-Party Terms and (z) all Rover Intercompany Receivables and Rover Intercompany Payables shall be reflected in the calculation of Rover Closing Cash, Rover Closing Indebtedness or Rover Closing Net Working Capital, as applicable, prepared in accordance with Schedule 2.2.

38

Section 6.7 Use of Certain Names.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days following the Closing, Pluto shall, and shall cause Rover to, cease using as company or business names, trademarks, brand names or branding, the words, marks, brand names and branding set forth in Schedule 6.7(a) of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Newquay Marks”), and any words or expressions similar thereto or constituting an abbreviation or extension thereof or that would, in each case, raise a reasonable likelihood of confusion with Newquay Marks, including eliminating Newquay Marks from the material Rover Real Property and the material assets of Rover, and disposing of any unused stationery and literature in the possession or control of Rover bearing Newquay Marks. Pluto acknowledges that Newquay Marks are owned exclusively by Newquay, and, except to the extent expressly permitted by this Section 6.7(a), from and after the Closing Date, Pluto shall not, and shall cause Rover and its Affiliates not to, use Newquay Marks or other Intellectual Property belonging to Newquay that have not been expressly transferred or licensed to Rover, and Pluto acknowledges that it, its Affiliates and Rover have no rights whatsoever to use or apply to register Newquay Marks.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Newquay and its Affiliates shall have the perpetual right to use the transferred Trademarks or Rover solely (i) in a non-trademark manner to describe the fact that Newquay previously owned Rover, (ii) as required by applicable Requirements of Law, and (iii) in a manner consistent with “fair use”.

Section 6.8 Transition Services Agreement. Each of Pluto and Newquay shall negotiate and cooperate in good faith and use its reasonable best efforts to identify and agree to the Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement by the date that is 60 days after the date hereof, in order to permit the operation of the Rover Business by Pluto following the Closing in a manner substantially consistent with the operation of the Rover Business by Newquay prior to the Closing. Any such Services identified and agreed by Pluto and Newquay shall be incorporated into the schedules to the Transition Services Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto prior to the execution thereof.

Section 6.9 Rover Employee Matters.

(a) (i) Following the date of this Agreement, Newquay and Pluto shall cooperate to identify the “Additional Rover Service Employees” in accordance with the terms set forth on Schedule 6.9(a)(iii) of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule, with the number of such employees equal to the Additional Rover Service Employee Limit (as defined and set forth on Schedule 6.9(a)(iii) of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule). For the avoidance of doubt, no individual who is identified as an Additional Rover Service Employee shall be considered as such or as a Rover Business Employee for purposes of this Agreement until Newquay and Pluto have agreed in writing to such identification in accordance with Schedule 6.9(a)(iii) of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule.

(ii) On or prior to the Closing, Newquay shall, and shall cause Rover to, take such steps as are required to transfer the employment of each Newquay Retained Employee and each Rover Direct Employee who is a Long-Term Disability Rover Employee from Rover to Newquay or one of its Affiliates (other than Rover).

39

(iii) Sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Pluto shall provide a list (the “Offer List”) to Newquay of the Additional Rover Service Employees to whom Pluto intends to make an offer of employment pursuant to this Section 6.9(a)(iii), which Offer List shall consist of a number of Additional Rover Service Employees equal to the Offer Threshold (as defined and set forth on Schedule 6.9(a)(iii) of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule). If Newquay objects to the inclusion of any Additional Rover Service Employee on the Offer List, then Newquay and Pluto shall cooperate to determine an appropriate course of action with respect to such Additional Rover Service Employee that takes into account the needs of the Rover Business, Newquay’s retained businesses, the services to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement and any Requirements of Law, which course of action may consist of, among other things, selecting a mutually agreeable alternative employee, treating such Additional Rover Service Employee as a Delayed Transfer Employee or amending the Transition Services Agreement and the services to be provided thereunder, and the Offer List shall be appropriately updated. Thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, subject to the provisions of Section 6.9(a)(iv), Pluto or one of its Affiliates shall offer employment, effective at 12:01 A.M., local time, on the Closing Date, to (A) the Rover Dedicated Employees (other than any Long-Term Disability Rover Employees) and (B) the Additional Rover Service Employees on the Offer List, in each case, on terms and conditions consistent with this Section 6.9. Each such offer shall (x) be for a comparable position, (y) be sufficient to avoid common law severance obligations or any severance obligations under any Rover Benefit Plan or Rover Labor Agreement, provided that the relevant Rover Benefit Plan or Rover Labor Agreement has been disclosed to Pluto, and (z) otherwise comply in all respects with applicable Requirements of Law (including with respect to compensation and benefits). Solely for purposes of making offers pursuant to this Section 6.9(a)(iii), Pluto shall have access to Rover Dedicated Employees and Additional Rover Service Employees or, if more practicable, the relevant management personnel to such Rover Dedicated Employee and Additional Rover Service Employee, at times and in a manner reasonably agreed between Pluto and Newquay. Newquay shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, make a competing offer of employment to any Rover Business Employee who receive an offer of employment from Pluto or one of its Affiliates in accordance with this Section 6.9(a)(iii).

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Pluto may delay the transfer of any Rover Dedicated Employees and Additional Rover Service Employees (such employees, “Delayed Transfer Employees”) with the mutual agreement of Newquay, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, to a date that is no later than the TSA End Date (such date, a “Delayed Transfer Date”), and in such case, Pluto and its Affiliates shall offer employment to each Delayed Transfer Employee no later than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable Delayed Transfer Date and otherwise on terms and conditions consistent with Section 6.9(a)(iii). In the event any Delayed Transfer Employee terminates employment prior to the Delayed Transfer Date, Newquay and Pluto shall cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to identify a suitable internal replacement. Newquay and Pluto shall reasonably cooperate to the extent necessary to give proper effect to the other provisions of this Agreement in connection with any Delayed Transfer Employee.

40

(v) Subject to Requirements of Law, with respect to any Long-Term Disability Rover Employee who returns to active employment with Newquay and its Affiliates within one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Closing Date or such later time as required by the terms of any applicable Rover Labor Agreement, Pluto or its applicable Affiliate shall offer employment to such Long-Term Disability Rover Employee on the earliest practicable date following the return of such individual to active employment with Newquay and its Affiliates and otherwise on terms and conditions consistent with Section 6.9(a)(iii). Newquay shall promptly notify Pluto of any Rover Business Employee becoming a Long-Term Disability Rover Employee and his or her return to active status.

(vi) In addition, during the Transition Period of the Transition Services Agreement, and subject to Newquay or its Affiliates’ consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, taking into account the needs of the Rover Business, Newquay’s retained businesses, the services to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement and any Requirements of Law, Pluto or one of its Affiliates may (but shall not be required to) offer employment to one or more of the TSA Employees on terms and conditions consistent with Section 6.9(a)(iii).

(vii) To the extent reasonably determined to be necessary, Newquay and Pluto shall cooperate to amend the Transition Services Agreement and modify the scope of services or service period of any Transition Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) set forth on Exhibit A thereto to reflect (A) the transfer of Additional Rover Service Employees or TSA Employees, as applicable, and (B) the agreement to treat any Rover Business Employee as a Delayed Transfer Employee and the ultimate transfer of such Delayed Transfer Employee.

(viii) In the case of any Delayed Transfer Employee, Long-Term Disability Rover Employee or TSA Employee who becomes a Transferred Employee on or after the day following the Closing Date, all references in this Section 6.9 (except where explicitly stated to the contrary and except with respect to Sections 6.9(c), 6.9(i) and 6.9(j)) to the “Closing” or the “Closing Date” shall be deemed to be references to the day on which such individual becomes a Transferred Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of Sections 6.9(i) and (j), for Delayed Transfer Employees, Long-Term Disability Rover Employees and TSA Employees, all references to the “Closing” or the “Closing Date” shall be deemed to be references to the next January 1 following the date that a Delayed Transfer Employee, Long-Term Disability Rover Employee or TSA Employee becomes a Transferred Employee; provided, however that each Retiree Benefit Transfer Employee shall become eligible to participate in the applicable Rover pension plan under the Rover Pension Plan Trust or Rover RW Plan as of the date such Retiree Benefit Transfer Employee becomes a Transferred Employee; and provided further that each Retiree Benefit Transfer Employee shall not accrue benefits under the applicable Newquay Pension Plan following the Delayed Transfer Date.

41

(b) (i) With respect to each Rover Dedicated Employee, Pluto or its Affiliates shall bear all the Liabilities relating to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Newquay and its Affiliates from and against, all Severance Obligations with respect to such Rover Dedicated Employee directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with Newquay and its Affiliates terminating the employment of such Rover Dedicated Employee following the failure of Pluto or its Affiliates to make an offer of employment that complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement to such Rover Dedicated Employee. “Severance Obligations” means all statutory or contractual severance or other severance payments or benefits pursuant to a Rover Benefit Plan previously disclosed to Pluto, including any such payments or benefits payable pursuant to a Rover Benefit Plan or Rover Labor Agreement, including any pro-rata bonus (but excluding long-term incentive award vesting and any other legally mandated payment obligations) and any compensation payable during a mandatory termination notice period in connection with the termination of employment of the applicable Rover Business Employee.

(ii) With respect to each Additional Rover Service Employee, Pluto or its Affiliates shall bear solely those Liabilities relating to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Newquay and its Affiliates from and against, a portion, which portion shall be equal to the Weighted-Average Severance Percentage, of all Severance Obligations with respect to such Additional Rover Service Employee directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with Newquay and its Affiliates terminating the employment of such Additional Rover Service Employee following the failure of Pluto or its Affiliates to make an offer of employment that complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement to such Additional Rover Service Employee. Newquay and its Affiliates shall bear all the Liabilities relating to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Pluto and its Affiliates from and against all Severance Obligations with respect to such Additional Rover Severance Employee in excess of such portion. Schedule 6.9(b)(ii) of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule provides an example that illustrates the intended operation of this Section 6.9(b)(ii).

(iii) The “Weighted-Average Severance Percentage” shall mean a percentage equal to (A) one-hundred (100) multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Weighted-Average Numerator and the denominator of which is the total number of Additional Rover Service Employees for whom Pluto or its Affiliates failed to make an offer of employment that complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(iv) The “Weighted-Average Numerator” shall equal the sum of (A) the Offer Threshold minus the total number of Additional Rover Service Employees for whom Pluto or its Affiliates made an offer of employment that complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (provided that the amount in this clause (A) shall not be less than zero) and (B) the product of (x) one-half and (y) (I) the Additional Rover Service Employee Limit minus (II) the greater of (1) the Offer Threshold and (2) the total number of Additional Rover Service Employees for whom Pluto or its Affiliates made an offer of employment that complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(v) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of calculating the Weighted-Average Severance Percentage, any Additional Rover Service Employee who is a Delayed Transfer Employee shall be considered an Additional Rover Service Employee for whom Pluto or its Affiliates made an offer of employment that complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event that Pluto or its Affiliates fails to make an offer of employment that complies with the

42

terms and conditions of this Agreement to such Delayed Transfer Employee (or his or her replacement, if applicable), then the Weighted-Average Severance Percentage shall be recalculated treating such Delayed Transfer Employee as an Additional Rover Service Employees for whom Pluto or its Affiliates failed to make an offer of employment that complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and Pluto or its applicable Affiliate shall promptly reimburse Newquay or its applicable Affiliate for any Severance Obligations that are the responsibility of Pluto based on such recalculated Weighted-Average Severance Percentage that were previously borne by Newquay and its Affiliates.

(c) Except as otherwise required by Requirement of Law or the terms of any Rover Labor Agreement, for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending twelve (12) months thereafter, Pluto shall provide or cause to be provided to each Transferred Employee (i) a base salary or wage rate that is no less favorable than the base salary or wage rate provided by Newquay or any of its Affiliates (including Rover) to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) annual cash incentive opportunities that are no less favorable than those provided by Newquay or any of its Affiliates (including Rover) to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (iii) employee benefits (excluding long-term incentives and benefits under equity-based plans) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided by Newquay or any of its Affiliates (including Rover) to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing (which employee benefits may be provided under the Continuing Pluto Plans and/or pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement as mutually agreed between Pluto and Newquay) and (iv) without limiting the foregoing clause (iii), severance benefits that are no less favorable than those provided by Newquay or any of its Affiliates (including Rover) to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing, as previously disclosed to Pluto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Transferred Employees who are subject to a Rover Labor Agreement shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Rover Labor Agreement and Pluto shall provide or cause to be provided to each such Transferred Employee the compensation and benefits required under the terms of the applicable Rover Labor Agreement, subject to effects bargaining as contemplated by Section 6.9(f).

(d) Except as otherwise required by Requirement of Law, for all purposes, including eligibility, vesting and (other than with respect to defined benefit pension plans or subsidized retirement benefit arrangements) benefit accrual purposes, under the employee benefit plans of Pluto and its Affiliates, if any, that are offered and provide benefits to Transferred Employees after the Closing Date (the “Continuing Pluto Plans”), each Transferred Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with Newquay and its Affiliates (including Rover) and any of their respective predecessors prior to the Closing Date to the same extent as such employee was entitled prior to the Closing Date to credit for such service under any similar Rover Benefit Plan, except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits. For purposes of each Continuing Pluto Plan, if any, providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Transferred Employee, Pluto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive any pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement and waiting period under such Continuing Pluto Plan, to the extent such pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period was satisfied or did not apply to such employee under the comparable Rover Benefit Plan prior to the Closing Date and (ii) provide such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents with credit for all eligible expenses incurred by such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents under the comparable

43

Rover Benefit Plans during the portion of the plan year ending on the date such Transferred Employee’s participation in the corresponding Continuing Pluto Plan begins for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Continuing Pluto Plan subject to all applicable terms and conditions relating to such benefits or amounts.

(e) As of the Closing Date, the Transferred Employees shall cease active participation in all Rover Benefit Plans other than any Assumed Benefit Plan, which shall be treated in accordance with the provisions set forth in Sections 6.9(g), 6.9(h), 6.9(i), 6.9(j) and 6.9(k). As of the Closing Date, Pluto shall assume and honor, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Pluto (including Rover) to assume or retain and honor, in accordance with their terms (including terms related to amendment and termination), each Assumed Benefit Plan, and Pluto shall assume and honor, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Pluto (including Rover) to assume or retain and honor all Liabilities attributable to the Rover Business in respect of each Assumed Benefit Plan.

(f) Effective as of the Closing Date, Pluto shall cause Rover to take any actions necessary to adopt and assume the Rover Labor Agreements so that, effective immediately following the Closing, Rover shall assume and be liable for all obligations of Newquay and its Affiliates under the Rover Labor Agreements with respect to the Rover Business Employees and Rover Business Former Employees, provided, however, that with respect to the Rover Labor Agreements, Newquay and Pluto shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to take the actions set forth on Schedule 6.9(f)(i) of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule within the timeframes set forth on such schedule and Newquay shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, undertake any and all such bargaining obligations (including “effects” bargaining obligations) in compliance with Schedule 6.9(f)(ii) of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule, (ii) reasonably cooperate with Pluto with respect to any such bargaining, including by notifying Pluto in advance of the dates, times and locations of any bargaining sessions or other meetings with collective bargaining representatives and promptly sharing with Pluto all material information, developments, notices and filings with respect to the bargaining sessions and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such bargaining as promptly as reasonably practicable prior to the Closing Date, including by committing labor personnel and resources as reasonably necessary to do so; provided, however, that if Newquay or its Affiliates and the relevant collective bargaining representative(s) reach a legal impasse after negotiating in good faith in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law with respect to the Rover Labor Agreements, upon Pluto’s request, Newquay and its Affiliates shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to engage a mediator to resolve, prior to the Closing Date, any outstanding bargaining issues causing such impasse with the relevant collective bargaining representative(s); provided further that (x) neither Newquay nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to amend, modify or otherwise relinquish any rights under any collective bargaining agreement of Newquay or any of its Affiliates other than the Rover Labor Agreements or to make any payment or grant any other concession in connection with any collective bargaining agreement of Newquay or any of its Affiliates other than the Rover Labor Agreements and (y) any obligation of Newquay or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 6.9(f) to reasonably cooperate or use commercially reasonable efforts shall not require Newquay and its Affiliates to take any action, or refrain from taking any action, that would materially and adversely impact its relations with any of its other collective bargaining units. Pluto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, agree to

44

engage in any type of bargaining required under any applicable Requirement of Law (including “effects” bargaining) with any collective bargaining representative, from and after the Closing Date until such obligation is no longer required under any applicable Requirement of Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 6.9(f) and Schedules 6.9(f)(i) and (ii) of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule shall be subject to Schedule 6.9(f)(iii) of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule.

(g) Effective as of the Closing, Pluto shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Pluto, to assume Liability for all vacation days (regular, supplemental or banked) accrued or earned but not yet taken by each Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Rover Accrued Vacation Days”). In the event that a Transferred Employee is entitled under applicable Requirements of Law or any policy of Newquay and its Affiliates to be paid for any Rover Accrued Vacation Days in connection with the Closing, (i) Rover or, solely to the extent required by applicable Requirements of Law, Newquay or its applicable Affiliate (other than Rover), shall pay and be responsible for any required amounts to such employee and (ii) to the extent any such amounts are paid by Newquay or any of its Affiliates (other than Rover), Pluto shall promptly reimburse Newquay or its applicable Affiliate for such amounts. Effective as of the Closing, Pluto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, honor all the Rover Accrued Vacation Days for which payout is not made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence; provided that, in the event Pluto is required to honor any Rover Accrued Vacation Days pursuant to the foregoing that are “purchased vacation days”, to the extent that Newquay or one of its Affiliates (other than Rover) has received payment in respect of such purchased vacation days (the aggregate of all such amounts received by Newquay and its Affiliates, the “Purchased Vacation True-Up”), then Newquay or one of its Affiliates shall make a cash payment to Pluto or its designated Affiliate equal to the Purchased Vacation True-Up.

(h) If any Rover Business Employee requires a work permit or employment pass or other legal or regulatory approval for his or her employment with Pluto or its Affiliates, Pluto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such permit, pass or other approval to be obtained and in effect prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law and any applicable Rover Labor Agreement, in the event an applicable permit, pass or approval for a Rover Business Employee is not in place with Pluto or its applicable Affiliate as of the Closing Date, such Rover Business Employee shall be treated as a Long-Term Disability Rover Employee, except that such Rover Business Employee’s employment shall become effective as soon as practicable following Pluto’s obtainment of the applicable permit, pass or approval, and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to provide for the services of such Rover Business Employee to be made available exclusively to Pluto through an employee secondment, services or similar arrangement (in each case to the extent permissible under the Requirements of Law) under which Pluto shall be responsible for all the economic costs of such individual’s compensation and benefits including any increased compensation payable under any Rover Benefit Plan as a result of such individual’s continued service with Newquay and its Affiliates for such service period until the applicable work permit can be obtained; provided, however, that Pluto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, continue to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the applicable work permit. In addition to the foregoing, with respect to each Rover Business Employee who is a foreign national working in the United States in non-immigrant visa status, to the extent permitted under applicable Requirements of Law, Pluto shall employ such

45

Rover Business Employee under terms and conditions such that Pluto qualifies as a “successor employer” under applicable United States immigration laws effective as of the Closing for immigration-related purposes only, and Pluto shall not by reason of any such election be deemed to have otherwise assumed any Liabilities (other than with respect to the immigration-related liabilities and responsibilities associated with the applicable visa petitions) or to be a successor for any other purpose except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

(i) (i) With respect to each defined benefit pension plan, program, agreement or arrangement listed as an Assumed Benefit Plan in Schedule 5.13 of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that is sponsored or maintained by Newquay or any of its Affiliates and in which any Rover Direct Employee, Rover Dedicated Employee, Additional Rover Service Employee who is on the Offer List, TSA Employee, in each case, who becomes a Transferred Employee, and Rover Business Former Employee (collectively, the “Retiree Benefit Transfer Employees”) participates as of immediately prior to the Closing, whether on an active or inactive basis (each, a “Newquay Pension Plan”), Pluto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have in effect or shall cause to be in effect on, or as soon as administratively practicable following, the Closing Date a defined benefit pension plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (each, a “Rover Pension Plan”) and a related trust that is intended to be exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code (each, a “Rover Pension Plan Trust”). Pluto shall establish and maintain each Rover Pension Plan for the benefit of the Retiree Benefit Transfer Employees who participated in the corresponding Newquay Pension Plan as of immediately prior to the Closing, and shall cause each such individual to become a participant in such Rover Pension Plan as of the Closing Date.

(ii) As of the Closing Date, Pluto shall cause each Rover Pension Plan to assume all Liabilities and obligations of Newquay and its Affiliates for the benefits accrued by the Retiree Benefit Transfer Employees under the applicable Newquay Pension Plan as of immediately prior to the Closing (such benefits, collectively, the “Accrued Rover DB Benefits”); provided that, for the period between the Closing and the applicable Pension Transfer Date (as defined below), Newquay and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, continue to make all required employer contributions to such Newquay Pension Plan and all scheduled benefit payments to such individuals and their applicable beneficiaries in respect of the Accrued Rover DB Benefits in accordance with the terms of such Newquay Pension Plan, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, and the Requirements of Law.

(iii) Pluto shall cause each Rover Pension Plan and each Rover Pension Plan Trust (and any successors to such plan and/or trust) to (A) provide that, with respect to assets transferred to such Rover Pension Plan from the applicable Newquay Pension Plan in accordance with this Section 6.9(i), such assets shall be held by the applicable Rover Pension Plan Trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants in such Rover Pension Plan; (B) provide that the Accrued Rover DB Benefits may not be decreased by amendment or otherwise and (C) have terms and features (including employer contribution provisions and elections in respect of form of payment of Accrued Rover DB Benefits, but excluding benefit accrual provisions) that are substantially identical to the applicable Newquay Pension Plan, such that each Newquay Pension Plan is substantially replaced by a corresponding Rover Pension Plan.

46

(iv) As soon as practicable following the Closing, Newquay and its Affiliates shall procure that the trustee of a Newquay Pension Plan shall transfer to the trustee of the corresponding Rover Pension Plan assets equal to (A) the amount required to be transferred pursuant to Section 414(l) of the Code and Section 4044 of ERISA, determined as if the Newquay Pension Plan were terminated immediately prior to the Closing (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be, if applicable, the “de minimis” amount pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1(h)) using the same actuarial assumptions and methodology used by Newquay to prepare the most recent financial statements relating to such Newquay Pension Plan, as they may be updated from time to time in Newquay’s reasonable discretion, (for the avoidance of doubt, such actuarial assumptions and methodology need not include the safe harbor assumptions specified in Section 414(l) of the Code or Section 4044 of ERISA), subject to any requirements under such Sections of the Code and ERISA (each such required amount, a “Section 4044 Amount”); adjusted by (B) for the period between the Closing and the date such assets are transferred (each, a “Pension Transfer Date”), an interest increment or debit on the applicable Section 4044 Amount at the rate equal to the actual rate of return earned by the related trust or segregated subaccount, as applicable, holding such assets to be transferred as part of the applicable Section 4044 Amount, as determined by the applicable trustee, through the end of the calendar month preceding the Pension Transfer Date; minus (C) any benefit payments that are made from the applicable Newquay Pension Plan to the Retiree Benefit Transfer Employees in respect of the applicable Accrued Rover DB Benefits for the period between the Closing and the applicable Pension Transfer Date; minus (D) any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Newquay and its Affiliates in respect of the applicable Accrued Rover DB Benefits for the period between the Closing and the applicable Pension Transfer Date. If requested by Pluto, such assets shall be transferred in the form of cash or, to the extent that Newquay is unable to effect such transfer entirely in cash after using commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with ERISA fiduciary obligations) to do so, other assets that are reasonably representative of such Newquay Pension Plan’s investment portfolio as a whole as of the Pension Transfer Date; provided, however, Newquay shall not be obligated to convert assets into cash to the extent that such conversion would result in a significant reduction in the value of such assets or the remaining assets with respect to such Newquay Pension Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Newquay shall have no obligation to cause any such transfer until such time as Newquay has been provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to Newquay that the applicable Rover Pension Plan satisfies the requirements for a U.S. tax qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code and that the applicable Rover Pension Plan Trust is exempt from Tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, and the Parties have received all other applicable approvals from all applicable Governmental Authorities. For purposes of this Section 6.9(i)(iv), to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, the fair market value of the assets of the Newquay Pension Plans shall be based on actual market values as of the Closing.

47

(v) In connection with each Pension Transfer Date, Newquay shall calculate (A) the applicable amount required to be transferred under clause (iv) above on such Pension Transfer Date minus (B) the amount that would have transferred under clause (iv) above on such Pension Transfer Date if the Section 4044 Amount was equal to (x) the aggregate value of the assets held in the trust related to the applicable Newquay Pension Plan as of immediately prior to the Closing multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate projected benefit obligation of the applicable Accrued Rover DB Benefits and the denominator of which is the aggregate projected benefit obligation of all Liabilities and obligations for the benefits accrued under the applicable Newquay Pension Plan as of immediately prior to the Closing, in each case, calculated in accordance with GAAP and using the same actuarial assumptions and methodology used by Newquay to prepare its most recent audited financial statements prior to the Closing Date, as such assumptions and methodologies may be updated by Newquay as reasonably necessary solely to the extent such updates are consistent with updates made by Newquay with respect to the pension plans maintained by Newquay or its Affiliates and with the prior written consent of Pluto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (each such amount, a “Pension True-Up Amount”). If the applicable Pension True-Up Amount is positive, Pluto shall pay such amount to Newquay or its designee, and if the applicable Pension True-Up Amount is negative, Newquay shall pay the absolute value of such amount to Pluto or its designee, in each case, no later than the applicable Pension Transfer Date.

(vi) All Section 4044 Amounts and Pension True-Up Amounts shall be determined by an enrolled actuary designated by Newquay, and Newquay shall provide an actuary designated by Pluto with information reasonably necessary to also calculate such Section 4044 Amounts and Pension True-Up Amounts and to verify that such calculations with respect to the Section 4044 Amounts have been performed in a manner consistent with Section 414(l) of the Code and Section 4044 of ERISA. Within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by Pluto’s actuary of Newquay’s actuary’s calculation of a Section 4044 Amount and Pension True-Up Amount and the information described in the preceding sentence, Pluto shall notify Newquay in writing if there is a good faith dispute between Newquay’s actuary and Pluto’s actuary as to whether Newquay’s calculation of such Section 4044 Amount or Pension True-Up Amount is in violation of applicable Requirements of Law or contains errors of a mathematical nature. If Pluto does not notify Newquay of any such good faith dispute within such thirty (30) calendar day period, the determination of Newquay’s actuary shall become conclusive, final and binding. If any such dispute remains unresolved for thirty (30) calendar days following Newquay’s receipt of such written notification from Pluto (or within such longer period as Newquay and Pluto shall mutually agree), Newquay and Pluto shall (in writing) select and appoint a third independent actuary mutually acceptable to Newquay and Pluto (the cost of which shall be borne equally by Newquay and Pluto), who shall make a conclusive, final and binding determination of the applicable Section 4044 Amount and Pension True-Up Amount in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. Each of Newquay and Pluto shall be responsible for the cost of its own actuary. Newquay’s actuary shall be responsible for any required actuarial certification under Section 414(l) of the Code.

48

(vii) Newquay and Pluto shall reasonably cooperate to make any and all filings and submissions to the appropriate Governmental Authorities required to be made by Newquay or Pluto in effectuating the provisions of this Section 6.9(i), including (A) IRS Forms 5310-A in respect of the transfers of assets and (B) in the event that the Transactions constitute a “reportable event” (within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA) for which the thirty (30)-day notice has not been waived, timely notification of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and filing of all reports required in connection therewith.

(viii) Provided that Newquay has provided to Pluto the information described in the last sentence of this clause (viii) regarding elections made by the Retiree Benefit Transfer Employees under the Newquay Pension Plan, Pluto shall cause each Rover Pension Plan to recognize and maintain all existing elections, including, but not limited to, beneficiary designations, payment forms and other rights of alternate payees under qualified domestic relation orders as were in effect under the corresponding Newquay Pension Plan, unless and until changed or modified in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan or otherwise in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. To the extent applicable, the provisions of this Section 6.9(i) shall apply to the eligible dependents of the Retiree Benefit Transfer Employees. As soon as administratively practicable following the Closing, Newquay shall provide to Pluto copies of all such beneficiary designations, payment forms and all other documents, files and other information that Pluto may need to administer each Rover Pension Plan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and, once provided, Newquay shall update any such information as reasonably appropriate.

(ix) With respect to the Rover Business Employees and TSA Employees who are anticipated to be Transferred Employees and who participate in a defined benefit pension plan maintained by Newquay and its Affiliates that is not a Newquay Pension Plan (an “Additional Pension Plan”), Newquay and Pluto shall cooperate to determine the appropriate treatment of such plans, including whether or not they should be treated as Assumed Benefit Plans for purposes of this Section 6.9(i). If Newquay and Pluto cannot reach a mutually acceptable agreement regarding such treatment, then Newquay may, acting reasonably, replace the Rover Business Employees and TSA Employees who participate in Additional Pension Plans with alternative employees of Newquay and its Affiliates who do not participate in such plans. For the avoidance of doubt, Pluto and its Affiliates are not required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to make offers of employment to any employee who participates in an Additional Pension Plan, subject to the severance obligations in Section 6.9(b).

(j) (i) With respect to each retiree health or welfare plan that is sponsored or maintained by Newquay or its Affiliates and in which any Retiree Benefit Transfer Employee participates as of immediately prior to the Closing, whether on an active or inactive basis (each, a “Newquay RW Plan”), Pluto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have in effect or shall cause to be in effect on, or as soon as administratively practicable following, the Closing Date one or more retiree health or welfare plans (each, a “Rover RW Plan”) that have material terms and features that are substantially identical to the corresponding Newquay RW Plan, such that the benefits provided under the Newquay RW Plan are substantially replicated. As of the Closing Date, Pluto shall cause each Rover RW Plan to assume all Liabilities and obligations of Newquay and its Affiliates for the benefits accrued by the Retiree Benefit Transfer Employees

49

under the applicable Newquay RW Plan as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Rover Business RW Benefits”); provided that, for the period between the Closing and the applicable RW Transfer Date (as defined below), Newquay or its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, continue to make and credit all required participant and employer contributions to the Newquay RW Plans and make all benefit payments in respect of the Rover Business RW Benefits in accordance with the terms of the Newquay RW Plans, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, and the Requirements of Law.

(ii) As soon as practicable following the Closing, with respect to each subaccount within a trust holding assets that are intended, in whole or in part, to satisfy the Rover Business RW Benefits (or with respect to the entire trust if such trust is not divided into subaccounts), Newquay and its Affiliates shall procure that the applicable trustee shall transfer to the trustee of the corresponding Rover RW Plan the following assets (each, an “RW Transfer Amount”): (A) the applicable Closing Date RW Amount (as defined below); adjusted by (B) for the period between the Closing and the date such assets are transferred (each, a “RW Transfer Date”), an interest increment or debit on the applicable Closing Date RW Amount at the rate of return earned by the applicable subaccount or trust, as applicable, holding such Closing Date RW Amount, as determined by the applicable trustee, through the end of the calendar month preceding the applicable RW Transfer Date; plus (C) an amount equal to any contributions made to such subaccount or trust by or on behalf of Retiree Benefit Transfer Employees during the period between the Closing and the applicable RW Transfer Date; minus (D) any payments that are made from such subaccount or trust, as applicable, in respect of the applicable Rover Business RW Benefits for the period between the Closing and the applicable RW Transfer Date; minus (E) any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Newquay and its Affiliates in respect of the applicable Rover Business RW Benefits for the period between the Closing and the applicable RW Transfer Date. If requested, such assets shall be transferred in the form of cash or, to the extent that Newquay is unable to effect such transfer entirely in cash after using commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with ERISA fiduciary obligations) to do so, other assets that are reasonably representative of the investment portfolio of the applicable subaccount (or the entire trust as a whole if such trust is not divided into subaccounts) as of the RW Transfer Date; provided, however, Newquay shall not be obligated to convert assets into cash to the extent that such conversion would result in a significant reduction in the value of such assets or the remaining assets with respect to such subaccount (or the entire trust as a whole if such trust is not divided into subaccounts).

(iii) With respect to each subaccount within a trust holding assets that are intended, in whole or in part, to satisfy the Rover Business RW Benefits (or with respect to the entire trust if such trust is not divided into subaccounts), the applicable “Closing Date RW Amount” shall mean an amount equal to (A) the aggregate value of the assets held in such subaccount or trust, as applicable, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is (x) the aggregate projected benefit obligation of the applicable Rover Business RW Benefits and the denominator of which is (y) the aggregate projected benefit obligation of all postretirement benefits that are intended to be satisfied by assets held in such subaccount or trust, as applicable, in the case of each of (x) and (y), calculated in accordance with GAAP and determined as of the Closing Date.

(iv) All Closing Date RW Amounts shall be determined by an enrolled actuary designated by Newquay, and Newquay shall provide an actuary designated by Pluto with information reasonably necessary to also calculate such Closing Date RW Amounts and to verify that such calculations with respect to the Closing Date RW Amounts have been performed in a manner consistent with GAAP. Within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by Pluto’s actuary of Newquay’s actuary’s calculation of a Closing Date RW Amount and the information described in the preceding sentence, Pluto shall notify Newquay in writing if there is a good faith dispute between Newquay’s actuary and Pluto’s actuary as to whether Newquay’s calculation of such Closing Date RW Amount is in violation of applicable Requirements of Law or contains errors of a mathematical nature. If Pluto does not notify Newquay of any such good faith dispute within such thirty (30) calendar day period, the determination of Newquay’s actuary shall become conclusive, final and binding. If any such dispute remains unresolved for thirty (30) calendar days following Newquay’s receipt of such written notification from Pluto (or within such longer period as Newquay and Pluto shall mutually agree), Newquay and Pluto shall (in writing) select and appoint a third independent actuary mutually acceptable to Newquay and Pluto (the cost of which shall be borne equally by Newquay and Pluto), who shall make a conclusive, final and binding determination of the applicable Closing Date RW Amount in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. Each of Newquay and Pluto shall be responsible for the cost of its own actuary.

(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an RW Transfer Amount is negative, then, within five (5) Business Days after the applicable Closing Date RW Amount becomes final and binding, Pluto shall pay to Newquay the absolute value of such RW Transfer Amount. If, following an RW Transfer Date, Newquay or any of its Affiliates is required to pay any amounts in respect of the applicable Rover Business RW Benefits, Pluto or its applicable Affiliate shall reimburse Newquay or its applicable Affiliate for such amounts within five (5) Business Days of Newquay notifying Pluto of such payment; provided that reasonably acceptable documentation of such payment is provided by Newquay to Pluto.

(vi) As soon as administratively practicable following the Closing, Newquay shall provide to Pluto copies of all participant elections, payment forms and all other documents, files and other information that Pluto may need to administer each Rover RW Plan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and, once provided, Newquay shall update any such information as reasonably appropriate.

(k) As soon as practicable after the Closing, Pluto shall cause a tax-qualified qualified defined contribution retirement plan of Pluto with a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Pluto 401(k) Plan”) to accept “direct rollovers” (as described in Section 401(a)(31) of the Code and including the in-kind rollover of notes evidencing participant loans) of the account balances of each Transferred Employee from the applicable Rover Benefit Plan that is a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan with a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Newquay 401(k) Plan”) if such direct rollover is elected in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and the terms of the Newquay 401(k) Plan by such Transferred Employee. Newquay and Pluto shall cooperate in good faith to take commercially

51

reasonable actions needed to permit each Transferred Employee with an outstanding loan balance under the Newquay 401(k) Plan as of the Closing Date to continue to make scheduled loan payments to the Newquay 401(k) Plan after the Closing Date, pending the distribution and in-kind rollover of the notes evidencing such loans from the Newquay 401(k) Plan to the Pluto 401(k) Plan so as to prevent, to the extent reasonably possible, a deemed distribution or loan offset with respect to such outstanding loans.

(l) Nothing in this Section 6.9 shall be treated as an amendment of, an undertaking to amend or terminate, or a limitation on the ability of Pluto or its Affiliates to amend or terminate any employee benefit plan (including Assumed Benefit Plans). Nothing herein shall require Pluto or its Affiliates to continue to employ the services of any particular individual after the Closing Date. Without limiting the generality of Section 11.9, the provisions of this Section 6.9 are for the sole benefit of the Parties and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any Person (including for the avoidance of doubt, any Rover Business Employee or Rover Business Former Employee), other than the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (including with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 6.9) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 6.10 Public Announcements. The mutual announcement of the Agreement and the Transactions immediately following the execution of this Agreement shall be as agreed by Pluto and Newquay. Newquay and Pluto will consult with each other before issuing, and will provide each other reasonable opportunity to review, comment upon and concur with, any other press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such written public statement prior to obtaining the other Party’s written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except (a) as the Parties or their respective Affiliates may be required, at the advice of counsel, to do by Requirement of Law, court order or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any applicable securities exchange (in which case such Party will, to the extent practicable, promptly inform the other Party in writing in advance of such compelled disclosure), and (b) as is consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the Parties or otherwise in a manner consistent with this Section 6.10; provided that, in each such case, to the extent practicable, the Party intending to make such release shall use its reasonable best efforts consistent with Requirement of Law to consult with the other Party in advance of such release with respect to the text thereof.

Section 6.11 Alternative Transactions.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, Newquay shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, negotiate with, provide any nonpublic information regarding Rover to, enter into any Contract with, or in any manner encourage, any proposal of, any Person (other than Pluto and its Affiliates) relating to a potential acquisition of all or a material portion of the equity interests of Rover or all or a material portion of the assets of the Rover Business, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise (collectively, “Rover Acquisition Proposals”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.11(a) is intended to restrict or limit Newquay or any of

52

Newquay’s Affiliates from entering into, engaging in or consummating any transaction not involving Rover or its business or assets. Newquay shall immediately cease all communications with any such Person that may be ongoing with respect to a Rover Acquisition Proposal as of the date hereof and request that each such Person promptly return or destroy all confidential information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of Newquay in connection with any such Rover Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including this Section 6.11, nothing in this Agreement is intended to restrict or limit Newquay from entering into, engaging in or consummating any transaction involving the acquisition or transfer (including by scheme of arrangement) of all or any portion of the equity interests of Newquay Topco or all or any portion of the assets of Newquay, provided, that any asset transaction transferring only a portion of Newquay’s assets shall not include the Rover Equity Interest.

Section 6.12 Insurance. Pluto and Rover acknowledge that, except as provided in this Section 6.12, (a) all insurance policies maintained by Newquay or any of its Affiliates (other than Rover) for the benefit of Rover or the Rover Business, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any self-insurance or captive insurance or reinsurance policy or program (the “Insurance Policies”) are part of the corporate insurance program maintained by Newquay, and such coverage shall not be available or transferred to Rover or Pluto, (b) from and after the Closing, Rover and the Rover Business shall cease to be insured by the Insurance Policies, and (c) from and after the Closing, Pluto shall be responsible for securing all insurance it deems appropriate for its operation of Rover and the Rover Business. From and after the Closing, Newquay and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to Pluto or Rover with respect to or under any of the Insurance Policies; provided that, from and after the Closing, Newquay and its Affiliates shall not take any measure or fail to take any measure to eliminate or reduce coverage available to Rover or the Rover Business under the Insurance Policies other than the reduction of policy limits due to claims paid in the ordinary course, and Newquay and its Affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) direct any carriers under the occurrence-based Insurance Policies (other than any occurrence-based Insurance Policy that is a self-insurance or captive insurance or reinsurance policy or program) (“Occurrence Based Policies”) to make any applicable or potentially applicable insurance coverage under the Occurrence Based Policies available to Rover or the Rover Business for claims arising out of any actual or alleged occurrences occurring at or prior to the Closing relating to Rover or the Rover Business and (ii) direct any carriers under any claims-made Insurance Policies (other than any claims-made Insurance Policy that is a self-insurance or captive insurance or reinsurance policy or program) (“Claims Made Policies”) to make any applicable or potentially applicable insurance coverage under the Claims Made Policies available to Rover and the Rover Business for claims made prior to or after the Closing that arise out of any actual or alleged act, omission, circumstance, event or incident occurring at or prior to the Closing relating to Rover or the Rover Business, in each case, to the extent permitted under such Claims Made Policies; provided, further, that (x) all deductibles, claims handling fees or any other amounts payable under any such Occurrence Based Policies or Claims Made Policies shall be shared equitably between Pluto and Rover, on the one hand, and Newquay, on the other hand, in respect of claims made by or on behalf of Pluto or Rover against the Insurance Policies pursuant to this Section 6.12, in the same proportion as the coverage they receive under such Occurrence Based Policies or Claims Made Policies, and (y) Pluto shall, or

53

shall cause Rover to, reimburse Newquay in respect of any documented reasonable costs or expenses associated with any deductibles, claims handling fees or other amounts incurred by Newquay or any Affiliate of Newquay and attributable to Pluto or Rover pursuant to the foregoing clause (x). Following the Closing Date, upon Pluto’s or Rover’s reasonable request, and at Pluto’s cost and expense, Newquay and its Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Pluto and Rover in issuing notices of such claims under the Occurrence Based Policies or Claims Made Policies, presenting such claims for payment and collecting insurance proceeds under the Insurance Policies. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Pluto nor any of its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, Rover) shall be entitled to receive any amounts under this Section 6.12 that would constitute a duplicative payment of amounts recovered as a purchase price adjustment pursuant to Article I or Article III.

Section 6.13 Designated Regulatory Proceedings. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Newquay shall, and shall cause Rover and National Grid USA Service Company, Inc. to, consult in good faith with Pluto and consider in good faith the views of Pluto with respect to each of the regulatory proceedings set forth in Schedule 6.13 of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule and any subsequent regulatory proceedings regarding the regulatory proceedings set forth in Schedule 6.13 of the Newquay Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Designated Regulatory Proceedings”), including in connection with (a) the scheduling and conducting of all formal meetings with any Rover Utility Regulator on any Designated Regulatory Proceeding, (b) the making of all applications and filings with, and obtaining any consents, approvals or authorizations from, any Rover Utility Regulator for any Designated Regulatory Proceeding and (c) the resolution of any investigation or other inquiry by any Rover Utility Regulator in respect of any Designated Regulatory Proceeding.

Section 6.14 Pluto Topco Guarantee. Pluto Topco shall cause Pluto to comply with all of Pluto’s agreements, covenants and obligations under this Agreement and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Newquay the full and complete performance of all of Pluto’s agreements, covenants and obligations under this Agreement on a timely basis, including the due and punctual payment by Pluto of Pluto’s payment obligations and liabilities under this Agreement (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The foregoing sentence is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guarantee of the full and punctual discharge and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. If Pluto defaults in the discharge and performance of all or any portion of its payment obligations under this Agreement, the obligations of Pluto Topco hereunder shall become immediately due and payable. Parent hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of performance, filing of any claim, any right to require any proceeding first against Pluto, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever in connection with the performance of its obligations set forth in this Section 6.14 or elsewhere in this Agreement.

Section 6.15 FCC Licenses. Prior to the Closing, Newquay shall use its reasonable best efforts to, or to cause its Affiliates to, transfer or assign, in whole or in part, to Rover each license, permit or other authorization issued or granted by the Federal Communications Commission (or any successor thereto) to Newquay or an Affiliate of Newquay that is necessary to conduct the Rover Business in all material respects in the manner in which it is currently conducted (each, an “FCC License”), effective as of the Closing. In the event that any FCC License has not been transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, to Rover as of the Closing, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that access to the applicable spectrum licensed under any such FCC License that is not so transferred or assigned shall be provided under the Transition Services Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, Newquay shall pay to Pluto the amount required to indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless the Pluto Indemnified Parties from and against any and all (i) Taxes imposed on Rover that are attributable to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, and for the portion of any Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date (as determined under Section 8.1(c)); (ii) Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from any failure or failures to be true of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made in Section 5.11; (iii) Taxes based upon, attributable to or resulting from any failure or failures to be true of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made in this Agreement, other than representations or warranties made in Section 5.11 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is addressed in clause (ii) above); (iv) Taxes arising from or attributable to any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement made by Newquay or any of their Affiliates in this Agreement; (v) Taxes imposed on Rover as a result of Rover being a transferee or successor pursuant to applicable Requirement of Law, in either case where the liability of Rover is attributable to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing; (vi) amounts required to be paid by or imposed on Rover pursuant to any Tax allocation, Tax sharing, Tax indemnification or similar agreement or arrangement (other than indemnification or reimbursement provisions in any such agreement or arrangement entered into in the ordinary course of business, the principal subject of which does not relate to Taxes) to which Rover is a party or is otherwise subject, in either case, on or prior to the Closing Date; (vii) any Taxes imposed pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any comparable provision under state, local or non-U.S. Requirements of Law or regulation imposing joint or several liability upon members of a consolidated, combined, affiliated, unitary or other group for Tax

57

purposes) for which Rover may be liable because of membership in the affiliated group, within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code, of which Newquay is the common parent (the “Newquay Affiliated Group”) or any consolidated group, combined, affiliated or unitary group (other than the Newquay Affiliated Group) at any time on or prior to the Closing Date; (viii) any Losses in connection with an over-accrual or over-statement of any Tax asset to the extent such Tax asset was specifically reserved for, clearly set forth and verifiable as an asset on the Rover Final Closing Statement; and (ix) any costs and expenses, including reasonable, out-of-pocket legal or accounting fees and expenses, attributable to any item described in clauses (i) to (viii) (including, subject to Section 8.1(e), the contest of any Tax liability in connection therewith); provided, however, that Newquay shall not be liable, and the Pluto Indemnified Parties shall not seek indemnification, for any Taxes or Losses to the extent (A) such Taxes or Losses were specifically reserved for, clearly set forth and verifiable as a liability on the Rover Final Closing Statement, or (B) such Taxes or Losses are attributable to any transaction or action of Pluto or any of its Affiliates that occurs after the Closing on the Closing Date (other than an ordinary course transaction or an action contemplated by this Agreement or taken at the written request of Newquay, including any transactions resulting from any Rover Election, the Taxes resulting from which shall be borne solely by Newquay).

(c) Straddle Period Tax Allocation. For purposes of this Article VIII, in the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins on or before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be:

(i) in the case of Taxes that are either (x) based upon or related to income, profits, gains or receipts, or (y) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the taxable year ended with (and included) the Closing Date;

(ii) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets of Rover or otherwise measured by the level of any item not described in clause (i), deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period; and

(iii) in the case of Taxes in the form of interest or penalties, all such Taxes to the extent relating to a Tax for a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date whether such items are incurred, accrued, assessed or similarly charged on, before or after the Closing Date.

(d) Whenever in accordance with this Article VIII Newquay shall be required to pay to Pluto an amount pursuant to Section 8.1(b), or Pluto shall be required to pay to Newquay an amount pursuant to Section 8.1(a), such payments shall be made by the later of (i) thirty (30) days after such payments are requested or (ii) five (5) days before the requesting Party is required to pay the related Tax liability under applicable Requirements of Law.

58

(e) Tax Controversies.

(i) If a claim for Taxes, including notice of a pending audit, shall be made by any Governmental Authority in writing, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to the Party receiving such notice pursuant to this Section 8.1 (a “Tax Claim”), the Party receiving such notice shall notify the other Party promptly in writing of the Tax Claim. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Claim and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Governmental Authority. Failure by the Party seeking indemnification to give prompt notice of a Tax Claim shall not relieve the other Party of liability under this Agreement except to the extent that such other Party demonstrates that its position is materially prejudiced as a result thereof (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(ii) Subject to Section 8.1(e)(iv) and Section 8.1(e)(v), Newquay shall control the defense of any Tax Claim with respect to Rover that relates to any taxable period which ends on or before the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Newquay has not assumed the defense of any Tax Claim which it is entitled to control pursuant to the preceding sentence by providing written notice of its intent to assume the defense of such claim to Pluto within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the notice required under Section 8.1(e)(i), Pluto may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate (acting reasonably and in good faith as if it were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax Claim), including settling such Tax Claim; provided, however, that Pluto shall not settle such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of Newquay, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. For the avoidance of doubt, Newquay shall be responsible, in accordance with Section 8.1(b), for any costs and expenses, including reasonable out of pocket legal and accounting fees and expenses, incurred by Pluto or any of its Affiliates in defending a Tax Claim that Newquay elects not to control pursuant to this Section 8.1(e)(ii).

(iii) Subject to Section 8.1(e)(iv) and Section 8.1(e)(v), with respect to any Tax Claim for a Straddle Period, (A) each of Newquay and Pluto may participate in the Tax Claim, (B) such Tax Claim shall be contested and defended by the Party which would bear the burden of the greater portion of the sum of any adjustment and any corresponding adjustments that reasonably may be anticipated (as determined under Section 8.1(c)); provided that such Tax Claim shall not be settled without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(iv) Except as provided in Section 8.1(e)(v), the Party that is controlling the Tax Claim pursuant to Section 8.1(e)(ii) or Section 8.1(e)(iii) (the “Controlling Party”) shall (A) provide the other Party (the “Non-Controlling Party”) with notice reasonably in advance of, and the Non-Controlling Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in such Tax Claim to the extent allowed pursuant to the Requirements of Law including the right to attend any meetings with a Governmental Authority (including meetings with examiners) or hearings or proceedings before any Governmental Authority to the extent they relate to such Tax Claim, and (B) reasonably consult with the Non-Controlling Party before taking any significant action (including submitting written materials) in connection with such Tax Claim, including giving the Non-Controlling Party the opportunity to comment on such written materials prior to their submission.

59

(v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (A) neither Newquay nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in any Tax Claim relating to any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Tax Return which includes Pluto or any of its Affiliates and (B) neither Pluto nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in any Tax Claim relating to any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Tax Return which includes Newquay or any of its Affiliates.

Section 8.2 Tax Returns and Refunds.

(a) Rover Tax Returns. Newquay shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns required to be filed by Rover for any taxable period which ends on or before the Closing Date that are due after the Closing Date (giving effect to any valid extensions of the due date for filing any such Tax Returns); provided, that Newquay shall prepare or cause to be prepared all such Tax Returns (other than Tax Returns of a Newquay Affiliated Group or other consolidated group, combined, affiliated or unitary group of which Rover is a member), to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, in a manner consistent with past practice. Pluto shall timely file or cause to be timely filed any Tax Return required to be filed by Rover after the Closing Date that is prepared by Newquay pursuant to the preceding sentence. Pluto shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by Rover for taxable periods ending after the Closing Date and all required Tax Returns for subsequent taxable periods. All such Tax Returns that relate to Straddle Periods shall be prepared and all elections with respect to such Tax Returns that relate to Straddle Periods shall be made, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, in a manner consistent with past practice. Before filing any Tax Return with respect to any Straddle Period, Pluto shall provide Newquay with a copy of such Tax Return at least ten (10) days prior to the last date for timely filing such Tax Return (giving effect to any valid extensions thereof) accompanied by a statement calculating in reasonable detail Newquay’s indemnification obligation, if any, pursuant to Section 8.1(b). To the extent that Newquay, its Affiliates or Rover has paid prior to the Closing Date to a Governmental Authority an amount in excess of Newquay’s share of Taxes for a Straddle Period pursuant to Section 8.1(b), Pluto shall pay to Newquay the amount of such excess within ten (10) days of filing such Straddle Period Tax Return. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Newquay shall have no indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8.1(b) with respect to any Taxes covered by such Tax Return unless and until Newquay has received such Tax Return and such statement. If for any reason Newquay does not agree with Pluto’s calculation of its indemnification obligation, Newquay and Pluto shall consult and cooperate to resolve in good faith any such disagreements. In the event the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute within five (5) days following the delivery of such Tax Return to Newquay, the Parties shall consult and cooperate to resolve their dispute by submitting such dispute to the Accountant, which shall attempt to resolve any issue before the due date of such Tax Return, in order that such Tax Return may be timely filed. The scope of the Accountant’s review shall be limited to disputed items. If the Accountant does not resolve any differences between Newquay and Pluto with respect to such Tax Return at least two (2) days prior to the due date therefor, such Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Pluto, and Pluto shall subsequently amend the Tax Return to reflect the Accountant’s resolution within ten (10) days of the date of such resolution.

60

Each of Newquay and Pluto shall bear the fees and expenses of the Accountant in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Accountant, which proportionate allocation will also be determined by the Accountant and included in the Accountant’s report. For the avoidance of doubt, the preparation and filing of any Tax Return of Rover that does not relate to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or a Straddle Period shall be exclusively within the control of Pluto. Without the prior written consent of Newquay (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), Pluto shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, except to the extent required by applicable Requirements of Law or a Determination in connection with a Tax Claim contested in accordance with Section 8.1(e), amend any Tax Returns or make or change any Tax elections (other than making the Rover Elections) or accounting methods with respect to the Transactions, in each case with respect to Rover and relating to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date (as determined under Section 8.1(c)).

(b) Rover Refunds. Any refunds or credits of Taxes of Rover plus any interest received with respect thereto from the applicable Governmental Authority for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (including refunds or credits arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date) shall be for the account of Newquay and shall be paid by Pluto or any of its Affiliates to Newquay within ten (10) days after Pluto or any of its Affiliates receives such refund or after the relevant Tax Return is filed in which the credit is applied against Pluto’s or any of its Affiliates’ liability for Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any refunds or credits of Taxes of Rover for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date that are attributable to (i) carrybacks of losses or credits from a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date or (ii) any Tax asset to the extent such Tax asset was specifically reserved for, clearly set forth and verifiable as an asset on the Rover Final Closing Statement, shall be for the account of Pluto. In the event a refund of or credit for Taxes paid by Pluto to Newquay is subsequently denied by a Governmental Authority, Newquay shall promptly repay such refund or an amount equal to such credit (including interest) to Pluto. Any refunds or credits of Taxes of Rover plus any interest received with respect thereto from the applicable Governmental Authority for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Pluto. Any refunds or credits of Taxes of Rover for any Straddle Period shall be apportioned between Pluto and Newquay in the same manner as the liability for such Taxes is apportioned pursuant to Section 8.1. For purposes of this Section 8.2(b), any reduction in Tax liability for a period beginning after the Closing Date shall be treated as a refund for a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date if such Tax reduction is provided in lieu of such a refund.

(c) Newquay Refund Request Procedures. At Newquay’s request and expense and subject to Pluto’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, Pluto shall, or shall cause its relevant Affiliates to, file for and obtain any refunds or credits to which Newquay is entitled under this Article VIII. In connection therewith, (i) Pluto shall permit Newquay to control the prosecution of any such refund claim that relates to refunds or credits to which Newquay or any of its Affiliates is entitled under this Article VIII and, where agreed by Pluto and Newquay, shall, or shall cause its relevant Affiliates to, authorize by appropriate powers of attorney such Persons as Newquay shall designate to represent such Affiliates with respect to such refund claim and (ii) Pluto shall, or shall cause its

61

relevant Affiliates to, forward to Newquay any such refund within ten (10) days after the refund is received (or reimburse Newquay and any of its Affiliates for any such credit within ten (10) days after the relevant Tax Return is filed in which the credit is applied against any of such relevant Affiliates’ liability for Taxes). In the event such refund of or credit for Taxes is subsequently denied by a Governmental Authority, Newquay shall promptly repay such refund or an amount equal to such credit (including interest) to Pluto.

Section 8.3 Section 338 Election.

(a) With respect to the sale and acquisition of Rover pursuant to this Agreement, Newquay shall, or shall cause one or more of its Affiliates to, join with Pluto or one or more of its Affiliates in making a timely, effective and irrevocable election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding elections under any applicable state and local Requirements of Law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Rover (each a “Rover Election” and collectively, the “Rover Elections”). At least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, Pluto and Newquay shall agree on the form and content of the Forms 8023 on which each such Rover Election shall be made, and at or prior to the Closing, Newquay shall deliver to Pluto and Pluto shall deliver to Newquay properly executed and mutually agreed upon Forms 8023 with respect to Rover containing information then available, which Pluto shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing. The Parties shall cooperate to prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, the IRS forms required to be filed in connection with each Rover Election pursuant to this Section 8.3(a), including IRS Forms 8023 and Forms 8883 and any other required forms or schedules thereto and any similar forms necessary to effectuate the Rover Elections under applicable state and local Requirements of Law (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Forms”). Pluto shall provide Newquay with final copies of any such Section 338(h)(10) Forms filed by Pluto and other documentation confirming their filing not later than fifteen (15) days after such forms are filed.

(b) Within forty-five (45) days following the date that the Rover Adjustment Amount is finally determined pursuant to Section 3.2, Pluto shall provide or cause to be provided to Newquay (A) an allocation, for Tax purposes, of the total consideration paid to Newquay by Pluto and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement for the Rover Equity Interest among Rover’s assets in accordance with Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code (the “Rover Allocation Schedule”), and (B) a complete set of draft IRS Forms 8883 (and any comparable forms required to be filed under state or local Requirements of Law with respect to Taxes) and any additional data or materials required to be attached to Form 8883 pursuant to the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 338 of the Code. The Rover Allocation Schedule shall be deemed final unless, within sixty (60) days after delivery thereof, Newquay notifies Pluto in writing that Newquay objects to the draft Rover Allocation Schedule, in which case Pluto and Newquay shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such dispute with respect to the draft Rover Allocation Schedule. Any disputes that Pluto and Newquay are unable to resolve shall be resolved by the Accountant pursuant to Section 8.7.

62

(c) Each of Pluto and Newquay shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, take all actions necessary and appropriate to effect the Rover Elections in accordance with the provisions of Section 338 of the Code and any applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations (and any comparable provisions of state or local Requirements of Law with respect to Taxes) or any successor provisions, including (as applicable) signing and timely filing the Section 338(h)(10) Forms and any additional forms. To the extent permissible pursuant to the Requirements of Law, each of Pluto and Newquay shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, cooperate in the preparation and timely filing of any (i) corrections, amendments or supplements to the Section 338(h)(10) Forms (including Form 8023 and Form 8883) and (ii) state or local forms or reports that are necessary or appropriate for purposes of complying with the requirements for making any state or local election that is comparable to the Rover Election.

(d) Each of Pluto and Newquay shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, report the sale and acquisition, respectively, of the stock of Rover pursuant to this Agreement consistent with the Rover Elections made pursuant to Section 8.3(a), the Rover Allocation Schedule (as finally agreed pursuant to Section 8.3(b)) and any Section 338(h)(10) Forms and shall take no position to the contrary thereto in any Tax Return, or in any proceeding before any Governmental Authority or otherwise.

(e) Neither Pluto, Newquay nor any of their respective Affiliates shall take any action to modify any of the forms or reports (including any corrections, amendments or supplements thereto) that are required for the making of a Rover Election and any comparable elections under state or local Requirements of Law with respect to Taxes after their execution or to modify or revoke any Rover Election following the filing of the Forms 8023 without the prior written consent of Pluto and Newquay, as the case may be, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Section 8.4 Transfer Taxes. Pluto shall be responsible for and shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of all documentary, sales, use, registration, value added, transfer, stamp, registration and similar Taxes, fees and costs (including interest, penalties and additions to any such Taxes) imposed on or payable in connection with its purchase of the Rover Equity Interest pursuant to this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”). Pluto shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, any Tax Returns and other necessary documentation required to be filed with respect to any such Transfer Taxes, and shall timely pay or cause to be timely paid all Transfer Taxes shown as due thereon. Pluto shall provide to Newquay a true copy of each such Tax Return as filed and evidence of the timely filing thereof. Pluto and Newquay shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate in reducing the amount of any Transfer Taxes or obtaining exemptions therefrom.

Section 8.5 Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing agreements relating to the allocation or sharing of Taxes, other than this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement and any such contract or agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business and for which Taxes are not the principal subject matter (the “Tax Sharing Agreements”) between Rover, on the one hand, and Newquay or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall, in each case, be terminated as of the Closing Date solely with respect to Rover. After the Closing Date, Rover shall not have any further rights or obligations under any such Tax Sharing Agreement.

Section 8.6 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. To the extent permitted pursuant to the Requirements of Law, any payments made pursuant to Section 3.2 and any indemnification payments made under this Article VIII or Article X shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the aggregate purchase price for the Rover Equity Interest.

63

Section 8.7 Resolution of All Tax Related Disputes. Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII, with respect to any dispute or disagreement between the Parties relating to Taxes, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute between them; but if the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute, the Parties shall submit the dispute to the Accountant for resolution, which resolution shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the fees and expenses relating to any dispute as to the amount of Taxes owed by either of the Parties shall be paid by Newquay, on the one hand, and Pluto, on the other hand, in proportion to each Party’s respective liability for the portion of the Taxes in dispute, as determined by the Accountant.

Section 8.8 Cooperation, Exchange of Information and Record Retention.

(a) Newquay and Pluto shall provide each other, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives to provide each other, with such cooperation and information relating to Rover (including cooperation with respect to any audit), as any of them reasonably may request of another, including in (i) preparing and filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes; (ii) resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods relating to Taxes; (iii) contesting or compromising any Tax Claim; (iv) determining a Tax liability or a right to a refund of Taxes; (v) participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes; and (vi) connection with all other matters covered in this Article VIII. Each such Party shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. To the extent reasonably requested by Newquay, Pluto shall cause Rover to authorize by appropriate powers of attorney such Persons as Newquay shall designate to represent Rover with respect to subclauses (i)-(vi) of this Section 8.8(a).

(b) Newquay and Pluto recognize that Newquay and its Affiliates will need access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information held by Rover to the extent such records and information pertain to events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date; therefore, Newquay and Pluto agree that from and after the Closing Date, Pluto and its Affiliates shall (A) retain and maintain all such records including all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in their possession relating to Tax matters of Rover for taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and for each Straddle Period for the longer of (x) the seven-year period beginning on the Closing Date or (y) the full period of the applicable statute of limitations, excluding any extension thereof and (B) allow the agents and representatives of Newquay and its Affiliates, upon reasonable notice and at mutually convenient times to inspect, review and make copies of such records (at the expense of Newquay) as Pluto and Newquay may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate from time to time. Pluto agrees that it shall provide Newquay with written notice thirty (30) calendar days prior to transferring, destroying or discarding the last copy of any such materials and Newquay shall have the right, at its expense, to copy or take any such materials; provided that Newquay provides written notice stating its intent to copy or take such materials no later than twenty (20) days after having received notice that such materials are being transferred, destroyed or discarded. Any information obtained under this Section 8.8(b) shall be kept confidential except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.

64

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, (i) neither Pluto nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to any information relating to, or a copy of, any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Tax Return which includes Newquay or any of its Affiliates and (ii) neither Newquay nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to any information relating to, or a copy of, any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Tax Return which includes Pluto or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that Pluto shall be entitled to a copy of a pro forma Tax Return for Rover.

Section 8.9 Survival of Tax Provisions. Any claim to be made pursuant to Article VIII must be made before sixty (60) days after the expiration (giving effect to any valid extensions, waivers and tolling periods) of the applicable statutes of limitations relating to the Taxes at issue or, solely with respect to a claim for a refund or credit of Taxes (or an adjustment with respect thereto), the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the expiration (giving effect to any valid extensions, waivers and tolling periods) of the applicable statute of limitations relating to the Taxes at issue or (ii) one year after the Party making the claim becomes aware of sufficient facts relating to such refund or credit or adjustment to seek indemnification or reimbursement under this Article VIII.

Section 8.10 Exclusivity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Article VIII shall govern (a) the retention of records with respect to Rover and (b) indemnification claims, in each case with respect to Taxes and the procedures relating thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly provided in this Article VIII or Article X, the provisions of Article X (other than Section 10.5(c) and Section 10.7) shall not apply.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants.

(a) Except for the representations and warranties in Section 5.11, the survival of which is governed exclusively by Section 8.9, the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the right to commence any claim with respect thereto shall survive until the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date; provided that (i) the Pluto Designated Representations and the Newquay Designated Representations shall survive until the date that is sixty (60) days after the date on which the applicable statute of limitations period expires. Any covenant, agreement or obligation that by its terms is to be performed prior to or at the Closing and the right to commence any claim with respect thereto shall survive until the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. However, in the event written notice of any claim for indemnification under Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 shall have been given in accordance herewith within the applicable survival period setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such claim (including a reasonable specification of the legal and factual basis for such claim), the representations and warranties or covenants that are the subject of such indemnification claim shall survive with respect to such claim until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved.

(b) This Section 10.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the Parties contained in this Agreement which by its terms contemplates performance after the Closing, which shall survive in accordance with its terms and shall not extend the applicability of any covenant or agreement of the Parties contained in this Agreement which by its terms relates only to a period between the date hereof and the Closing; provided that nothing herein shall restrict a Party’s right to commence any claim with respect to such covenant or agreement following the Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.1(a).

Section 10.2 Indemnification of Newquay. Subject to the terms of Article VIII and this Article X, from and after the Closing, Pluto shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Newquay and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Newquay Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all:

(a) Losses to the extent resulting from or arising out of any breach by Pluto of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any certificate related thereto; and

(b) Losses to the extent resulting from or arising out of the failure by Pluto to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

Section 10.3 Indemnification of Pluto. Subject to the terms of Article VIII and this Article X, from and after the Closing, Newquay shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Pluto and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Pluto Indemnified Parties” and together with Newquay Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties,” and each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all:

67

(a) Losses to the extent resulting from or arising out of any breach by Newquay of any representation or warranty in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.11, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 8.1(b)) or any certificate related thereto; and

(b) Losses to the extent resulting from or arising out of the failure by Newquay to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

Section 10.4 Claims.

(a) Third-Party Claims. Upon receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any action, suit, proceedings, claim, demand or assessment (other than a Tax Claim) made or brought by an unaffiliated third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to a matter for which such Indemnified Party is indemnified under this Article X which has or is reasonably expected to give rise to a claim for Losses, the Indemnified Party shall as soon as practicable, in the case of a Newquay Indemnified Party, notify Pluto and in the case of a Pluto Indemnified Party, notify Newquay (Pluto or Newquay, as the case may be, the “Indemnifying Party”), in writing, indicating the nature of such Third-Party Claim and the basis therefor; provided, however, that any delay or failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice to the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. Such written notice shall (i) describe such Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail including the sections of this Agreement which form the basis for such Third-Party Claim; provided that the failure to identify a particular section in such notice shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from subsequently identifying such section as a basis for such claim, (ii) attach copies of all substantive written evidence thereof and (iii) if possible, set forth an estimate of the amount of Losses that have been or may be sustained by an Indemnified Party; provided that such estimate shall not be binding or used in place of the actual amount of Losses subject to this Article X. The Indemnifying Party shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of notice to elect, at its option, to assume and control the defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such Third-Party Claim and shall be entitled to assert any and all defenses available to the Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted under Requirements of Law. If the Indemnifying Party shall undertake to defend any such Third-Party Claim, it shall promptly, but in any event within sixty (60) days of the receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of such Third-Party Claim, notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense against, any such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge, or admit any liability with respect to, any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the relief consists solely of money Losses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party and includes a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Parties from all liability with respect thereto. Notwithstanding an election to assume the defense of such action or proceeding at its own expense, provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and

68

to participate in the defense of such action or proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (A) the Indemnified Party shall have determined in good faith that an actual or potential conflict of interest makes representation by the same counsel or the counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party inappropriate or (B) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. In any event, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and their counsel shall cooperate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim subject to this Article X, keep such Persons informed of all developments relating to any such Third-Party Claims and provide copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation relating thereto. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s cooperation shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party; provided that the cost of any counsel of the Indemnified Party shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party only as set forth in this Section 10.4(a). If the Indemnifying Party receiving such notice of a Third-Party Claim does not elect to defend such Third-Party Claim or does not defend such Third-Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to defend such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge, or admit any liability with respect to, any such Third-Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) Direct Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party has a claim with respect to a matter for which such Indemnified Party is indemnified under this Article X that does not involve a Third-Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall as soon as practicable notify the Indemnifying Party in writing, indicating the nature of such Direct Claim and the basis therefor; provided, however, that any delay or failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice to the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. Such written notice shall (i) describe such Direct Claim in reasonable detail including the sections of this Agreement which form the basis for such Direct Claim; provided that the failure to identify a particular section in such notice shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from subsequently identifying such section as a basis for such claim, (ii) attach copies of all substantive written evidence thereof and (iii) if possible, set forth an estimate of the amount of Losses that have been or may be sustained by an Indemnified Party; provided that such estimate shall not be binding or used in place of the actual amount of Losses subject to this Article X. The Indemnifying Party shall have sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such sixty (60)-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including reasonable access to the books, records and personnel of such Indemnified Party, if applicable) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within sixty (60) days of the receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of such Direct Claim (or if in its response it disputes such Direct Claim), the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

69

Section 10.5 Limitations; Payments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Newquay shall not, other than with respect to any breach of any Newquay Designated Representation, be (i) liable for any amounts for which the Pluto Indemnified Parties are otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3(a) or Section 8.1(b)(iii) unless (A) a claim is timely asserted during the survival period specified in Section 10.1(a) or Section 8.9, as applicable, (B) the amount of Losses with respect to the particular act, circumstance, development, event, fact, occurrence or omission giving rise to such Losses exceeds $3,500,000 (aggregating all such Losses arising from substantially identical facts) and (C) the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Pluto Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3(a) or Section 8.1(b)(iii) (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding Losses that do not exceed the amount set forth in clause (B) above) exceeds, on a cumulative basis, $35,000,000 (the “Newquay Threshold”), and then only the extent of such excess) and (ii) required to make indemnification payments pursuant to Section 10.3(a) or Section 8.1(b)(iii) to the extent indemnification payments thereunder would exceed in the aggregate $400,000,000 (the “Newquay Indemnification Cap”). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, and without limiting the foregoing (including Newquay Indemnification Cap), the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from Newquay for any amounts due under Section 10.3 and Section 8.1(b)(iii) shall be $3,770,000,000 (the “Newquay Total Cap”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Newquay Threshold, the Newquay Indemnification Cap and the Newquay Total Cap shall not apply to any remedies provided in Article VIII other than as provided in this Section 10.5(a).

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any fact, event or circumstance which results in an adjustment to the purchase price pursuant to Article I or Article III would also constitute a breach or inaccuracy of any of a Party’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement or otherwise result in a Loss to the other Party, such Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Newquay Indemnified Party or Pluto Indemnified Party, as applicable, with respect to such breach or inaccuracy to the extent that (i) recovery for any such Loss would constitute a duplicative payment of amounts recovered as a purchase price adjustment pursuant to Article I or Article III or (ii) such Loss was reflected as a liability on the Rover Final Closing Statement, as applicable, for which there was a purchase price adjustment pursuant to Article I or Article III.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of (i) the determination of whether there was a breach of a representation or warranty as of any particular date and (ii) the existence or amount of any Losses in respect of any such breach, any materiality, Rover Material Adverse Effect standard or qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty shall be disregarded; provided that this Section 10.5(c) shall not apply to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.6(a)(ii).

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Party shall have any liability pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages relating to a breach or alleged breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that any amounts payable to third parties pursuant to a Third-Party Claim shall not be deemed special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages.

70

Section 10.6 Insurance. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Losses shall be net of any insurance or other prior or subsequent recoveries actually received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification. If an Indemnified Party shall have used its reasonable best efforts to recover any amounts recoverable under insurance policies and shall not have recovered the applicable Losses, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the amount by which such Losses exceeds the amounts actually recovered.

Section 10.7 Remedies Exclusive. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, and except in the case of fraud with respect to the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the remedies provided in Article VIII and this Article X shall be the exclusive monetary remedies (including equitable remedies that involve monetary payment, such as restitution or disgorgement, but excluding specific performance to enforce any payment or performance due hereunder) of the Parties from and after the Closing in connection with any breach of a representation or warranty, or non-performance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement contained herein.

Section 10.8 Mitigation. Each Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate any claim or liability that an Indemnified Party asserts or may assert under this Article X. In the event that an Indemnified Party shall fail to make such reasonable best efforts to mitigate any such claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Pluto nor Newquay, as the case may be, shall be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party for that portion of any Losses that would reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the Indemnified Party had made such efforts.

This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether at law, in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Requirements of Law of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice or conflict of law principles or rules (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would mandate or permit the application of the Requirements of Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 11.5 Jurisdiction; Venue; Specific Performance; Waiver of Trial by Jury.

(a) Each Party agrees that all claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought in the Chancery Courts of the State of Delaware located in Wilmington, Delaware or, if under applicable Requirement of Law jurisdiction is not available in such courts, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

(b) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches by the Parties of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled in law or in equity. In connection with any request for specific performance or equitable relief by any Party, each of the other Parties waives any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

(c) EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OR ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in multiple counterparts which may be delivered by .pdf transmission. Each counterpart when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 11.12 Privilege; Counsel. Herbert Smith Freehills LLP, Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, Eversheds Sutherland (US) LLP, Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP, and Keegan Werlin LLP (each, a “Newquay Counsel”) have been engaged by Newquay to represent it in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions. Pluto (on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) hereby (a) agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Pluto or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Newquay (or any related party to Newquay), on the other hand, each Newquay Counsel may represent Newquay (or such related party) in such dispute even though the interests of Newquay (or such related party) may be directly adverse to Pluto, Rover or any of their respective Affiliates, even though a Newquay Counsel may have represented Rover in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for Pluto or Rover, and (b) waives any actual or potential conflict in connection therewith or relating thereto. Pluto (on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) further agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as to all communications among any Newquay Counsel and Rover or Newquay (including any of their respective directors, officers or employees or any other party

75

related to Newquay) that relate in any way to this Agreement or the Transactions, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Newquay and shall be controlled by Newquay and shall not pass to or be claimed by Pluto, Rover or any of their respective Affiliates. Pluto (on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) further understands and agrees that the Parties have each undertaken reasonable best efforts to prevent the disclosure of confidential or attorney-client privileged information. Notwithstanding those efforts, Pluto (on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) further understands and agrees that the consummation of the Transactions may result in the inadvertent disclosure of information that may be confidential or subject to a claim of privilege and that no such Person may use or rely on any such disclosure, whether located in the records or email server of Rover or otherwise, in any action against or involving Newquay or any party related to Newquay after such Closing. Pluto (on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) further understands and agrees that any disclosure of information that may be confidential or subject to a claim of privilege will not prejudice or otherwise constitute a waiver of any claim of privilege. Pluto (on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) agrees to use reasonable best efforts to return promptly any inadvertently disclosed information to the appropriate Person upon becoming aware of its existence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Pluto, Rover or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third party other than a Party, on the other hand, after the Closing, Rover may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by any Newquay Counsel to such third party; provided, however, that Rover may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Newquay. Each Newquay Counsel shall be a third-party beneficiary for purposes of this Section 11.12.
