25 (a) Section 2.5(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules sets forth a calculation of the Working Capital, the Cash Amounts, the Company Transaction Expenses and the Funded Debt of the Group Companies, in each case, as of the Balance Sheet Date (the “Sample Closing Statement”). (b) At least four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, U.S. Seller shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth U.S. Seller’s good-faith estimate of (i) the Adjustment Amount (such estimate, the “Estimated Adjustment Amount”), (ii) the Closing Cash Amounts (such estimate, the “Estimated Closing Cash Amounts”), (iii) the Company Transaction Expenses (such estimate, the “Estimated Closing Company Transaction Expenses”) and (iv) the Closing Funded Debt (such estimate, the “Estimated Closing Funded Debt”). The Closing Statement shall set forth the calculations of such amounts in substantially the same format as the Sample Closing Statement and be prepared consistent with the definitions in this Agreement and in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles. U.S. Seller shall consider in good faith any comments provided by Purchaser no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Closing Statement, and if U.S. Seller accepts any such comments, U.S. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an updated version of the Closing Statement, which updated version shall replace the prior version for all purposes hereunder. The Estimated Adjustment Amount, the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, the Estimated Closing Company Transaction Expenses and the Estimated Closing Funded Debt shall be used to calculate the Closing Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser to U.S. Seller at the Closing. Purchaser agrees that, following the Closing through the date that the Post-Closing Statement becomes final and binding in accordance with this Section 2.5, it will not take any actions with respect to any accounting books, records, policies or procedures solely in respect of the accounting period prior to the Closing on which the Sample Closing Statement or the Closing Statement is based, or on which the Post-Closing Statement is to be based, that are inconsistent with the ordinary course past practice of the Business prior to the Closing that would impede or delay the final determination of the Post-Closing Statement; it being understood that Purchaser shall not be restricted from taking any actions with respect to any accounting, books, records, policies or procedures relating to the Business in respect of the accounting period following the Closing. (c) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and will provide to U.S. Seller, a written statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”), setting forth the Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash Amounts, the Closing Company Transaction Expenses and the Closing Funded Debt. The Post-Closing Statement shall (i) set forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s good faith calculations of such amounts in substantially same format as the Sample Closing Statement, and in a manner consistent with the definitions in this Agreement and the Transaction Accounting Principles, and (ii) not reflect any accounting principles, policies, methods, practices, categories, estimates, judgments or assumptions other than the Transaction Accounting Principles. (d) Within sixty (60) days following receipt by U.S. Seller of the Post-Closing Statement (such period, the “Review Period”), U.S. Seller shall deliver written notice to Purchaser of any dispute U.S. Seller has with respect to the calculation, preparation or content of the Post-Closing Statement (the “Dispute Notice”); provided, that if U.S. Seller does not deliver any Dispute Notice to Purchaser within such Review Period, the Post-Closing Statement will be

26 final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail (i) any item on the Post-Closing Statement that U.S. Seller disputes and (ii) U.S. Seller’s estimate of the correct amount of such item. Any items not disputed or objected to in the Dispute Notice timely delivered by U.S. Seller to Purchaser shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Parties. The Post-Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Parties and shall become final and binding upon the Parties as of the expiration of the Review Period with respect to any matters set forth therein not then subject to an unresolved dispute set forth in the Dispute Notice. Upon receipt by Purchaser of a Dispute Notice, Purchaser and U.S. Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute set forth therein. All such discussions and communications related thereto shall (unless otherwise agreed by Purchaser and U.S. Seller) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule, and any resolution by them agreed to in writing as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive. If Purchaser and U.S. Seller fail to resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (the “Dispute Resolution Period”), then, within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the Dispute Resolution Period, a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to U.S. Seller and Purchaser (other than U.S. Seller’s accountants or Purchaser’s accountants) (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) shall be engaged to resolve any such dispute; provided, that, if U.S. Seller and Purchaser are unable to mutually agree on an accounting firm to serve as the Independent Accounting Firm or such selected accounting firm is unwilling or unable to perform the services required under this Section 2.5 and U.S. Seller and Purchaser are unable to mutually agree on another accounting firm to serve as the Independent Accounting Firm, then each of U.S. Seller and Purchaser shall select a nationally recognized major accounting firm, and the two (2) firms will mutually select a third nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to serve as the Independent Accounting Firm. U.S. Seller and Purchaser each agree to promptly sign an engagement letter, in commercially reasonable form, as may reasonably be required by the Independent Accounting Firm. As promptly as practicable, and in any event not more than fifteen (15) days following the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, Purchaser and U.S. Seller shall each prepare and submit a written presentation detailing each party’s complete statement of proposed resolution of each issue still in dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm (it being understood that the content of each such presentation shall be limited to whether the Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash Amounts, the Closing Company Transaction Expenses and the Closing Funded Debt were properly calculated in accordance with the definitions in this Agreement and the Transaction Accounting Principles, the proposed resolution of each disputed issue by such party and reasonable supporting detail for the foregoing). Purchaser and U.S. Seller shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to, as soon as practicable after the submission of the presentations described in the immediately preceding sentence and in any event not more than twenty (20) days following such presentations, acting as an expert in accounting and not as an arbitrator, make a final determination, binding on the Parties to this Agreement, of the appropriate amount of each of the line items that remain in dispute as indicated in the Dispute Notice. None of U.S. Seller, Purchaser, nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Independent Accounting Firm regarding the subject matter hereof without the other party’s prior written consent. The Independent Accounting Firm shall agree that between the time U.S. Seller delivered the Dispute Notice and the date on which any disputed item was submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm, Purchaser and U.S. Seller and their respective Representatives

27 may have exchanged certain proposals relating to the disputed items that were intended solely for purposes of facilitating settlement discussions, and such proposals were confidential and were provided solely on the condition and understanding that such proposals would not be permitted to be disclosed in any court or arbitration hearing or in respect of the Independent Accounting Firm’s engagement in the dispute, and the Independent Accounting Firm will be instructed to disregard any evidence of such settlement proposals and negotiations in its consideration of the disputed items. With respect to each disputed line item, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Seller or Purchaser, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, in their respective presentations to the Independent Accounting Firm described above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to whether any disputed determinations of the Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash Amounts, the Closing Company Transaction Expenses and the Closing Funded Debt were properly calculated in accordance with the definitions in this Agreement and the Transaction Accounting Principles. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated to be paid by Purchaser, on the one hand, and U.S. Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm. For example, if U.S. Seller claims in a Dispute Notice that the Adjustment Amount is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Purchaser in the Closing Statement, and if the Independent Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding U.S. Seller $600 of the $1,000 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 600 ÷ 1,000) to Purchaser and 40% (i.e., 400 ÷ 1,000) to U.S. Seller. All determinations made by the Independent Accounting Firm, and the Post-Closing Statement, as modified by the Independent Accounting Firm, will, absent manifest error or fraud, be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Parties agree that any adjustment as determined pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by Law. (e) For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.5, each of U.S. Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with and promptly make available to each other and their respective Representatives, to the extent requested, all personnel, information, records, data and working papers (subject to customary confidentiality agreements and access letters, as applicable), in each case to the extent related to the Company, the Business or the Transaction, and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Closing Statement or Post-Closing Statement, as applicable, and the resolution of any disputes thereunder; provided, that U.S. Seller or Purchaser may withhold any document (or portions thereof) or information that may constitute privileged attorney-client communications or attorney work product, the transfer of which, or the provision of access to which, on the advice of legal counsel, would reasonably be expected to risk a waiver of such privilege or if the provision of access to such document (or portion thereof) or information, on the advice of legal counsel, would reasonably be expected to conflict with applicable Law (it being agreed, that, in the event any of the restrictions in the foregoing apply, the disclosing party shall provide the other party with a reasonably detailed description and summary of the information not provided and cooperate in good faith with such other party to design and implement alternative disclosure arrangements to enable such other party and its Representatives to evaluate any such information without

Purchaser has all the requisite organizational power and authority necessary to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Purchaser is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership, leasing, holding or operation of its properties or assets or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.2. Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. Each of Purchaser and its applicable Affiliates has all necessary organizational power and authority to execute this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is or will be a party and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery by Purchaser and each of its applicable Affiliates of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as applicable, to which it is or will be a party and the consummation by Purchaser or its applicable

53 Affiliates of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly (or, with respect to any Transaction Document to be entered into at the Closing, will have been as of the Closing) authorized by all necessary organizational action of Purchaser or its applicable Affiliates. Purchaser and its applicable Affiliates each has (or, with respect to any Transaction Document to be entered into at the Closing, will have as of the Closing) duly executed and delivered this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is or will be a party, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Sellers and Seller Parent, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will constitute its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. Section 4.3. No Conflicts. None of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents by Purchaser or its applicable Affiliates party thereto, the consummation by it of the Transaction or any other transaction contemplated hereby and thereby, including the receipt by Purchaser and its applicable Affiliates of the transition services contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement, or compliance by Purchaser or its applicable Affiliates with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, as applicable, will (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both): (a) conflict with or violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of Purchaser; (b) assuming that all consents, approvals, authorizations and permits described in Section 4.4 have been obtained and all filings and notifications described in Section 4.4 have been made and any waiting periods thereunder have terminated or expired, conflict with or violate any Judgment or Law applicable to Purchaser or any of its properties or assets; (c) require any authorization, consent or approval under, violate, conflict with, result in any violation or breach of or any loss of any benefit under, or constitute a change of control or default under, or result in termination or give rise to any right of termination, vesting, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which Purchaser is a party or by which its properties or assets are bound; or (d) result in the creation of a Lien upon any of the rights, properties or assets of Purchaser; except, in the case of clauses (b) through (d) of this Section 4.3, for any such items that would not reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to Purchaser. Section 4.4. Required Filings and Consents. None of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Purchaser or its applicable Affiliates, the consummation by Purchaser or its applicable Affiliates of the Transaction or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or Purchaser’s or its applicable Affiliates’ compliance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, as applicable, will require (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing or registration with or notification to,

54 any Governmental Entity, other than (a) compliance with any applicable Law, including approvals and/or termination or expiration of any applicable waiting periods and any extension thereof (including any agreement with any Governmental Entity not to consummate the Closing) required to be obtained or to have occurred under the HSR Act and under the Antitrust Laws and FDI Laws of the jurisdictions listed on Section 4.4(a) of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules, and (b) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits of, or to make such filings, registrations with or notifications to any Governmental Entity would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.5. Financial Ability to Perform. Purchaser affirms that is it not a condition to the Closing or to any of its other obligations under this Agreement that Purchaser obtain financing for, or related to, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Sponsors have entered into the Equity Commitment Letter, a true, correct and complete copy of which has been provided to Sellers, pursuant to which the Sponsors have committed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to (i) provide to Purchaser (directly or indirectly) equity financing up to an aggregate amount specified therein for purposes specified therein (the “Equity Financing”) to Purchaser and pursuant to which Sellers are third-party beneficiaries thereof and (ii) severally guaranty certain obligations of Purchaser in connection with this Agreement. As of the date hereof, the Equity Commitment Letter has not been amended, supplemented or modified, and no such amendment, supplement or modification is contemplated or pending, and as of the date of this Agreement, the respective commitments contained in the Equity Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect and no such withdrawal, termination or rescission is contemplated. As of the date hereof, the Equity Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and is the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Purchaser and the other parties thereto, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. Purchaser is not aware of any fact or occurrence existing on the date hereof that would or would reasonably be expected to make any of the assumptions or any of the statements set forth in the Equity Commitment Letters inaccurate or that would or would reasonably be expected to cause the Equity Commitment Letters to be ineffective. As of the date hereof, there are no conditions or other contingencies related to the provision, funding or investing of the full amount of the Equity Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter delivered to Sellers prior to the date hereof. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to (A) constitute a default or breach on the part of Purchaser or Sponsors under the Equity Commitment Letter, (B) constitute a failure to satisfy a condition on the part of Purchaser or any other party thereto under the Equity Commitment Letter or (C) result in any portion of the amounts to be provided, funded or invested in accordance with the Equity Commitment Letter being unavailable on the Closing Date. As of the date hereof, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, Purchaser has no reason to believe that, and is not aware of the existence of any fact or event that would or would reasonably be expected to cause, any of the conditions to the Equity Financing contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter to not be satisfied on a timely basis or that the full amount of the Equity Financing contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter will not be made available to Purchaser in full on the Closing Date. Assuming the Equity Financing is funded in full in accordance with the Equity Commitment Letter, Purchaser will have on the Closing Date funds sufficient to (i) make all payments contemplated under Article II that are to be made in connection with the Closing, (ii) pay any and all fees and expenses required to be

55 paid by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Equity Financing, and (iii) satisfy obligations of Purchaser to consummate the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Section 4.6. Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no material Proceeding pending or threatened in writing against Purchaser or any of its assets or properties or, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, its current or former directors, managers, officers or employees (in their capacities as such), as applicable, nor has there been any such Proceeding since January 1, 2021. None of Purchaser or any of its assets or properties or, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, its current or former directors, managers, officers or employees (in their capacities as such), as applicable, are or has been, since January 1, 2021, subject to any outstanding material Judgment. Section 4.7. Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any brokerage, finders’, financial advisory or similar fee payable by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Transaction, based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Purchaser or for which Sellers or any of their Affiliates are or may become liable. Section 4.8. Investigation; Acquisition of Equity Interests for Investment. Purchaser has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser confirms that Sellers have made available to Purchaser and its Affiliates and Representatives the opportunity to ask questions of the officers and management of Sellers, the Group Companies and the Business, as well as access to the documents, information and records of or with respect to the Business and the Group Companies and to acquire additional information about the business and financial condition of the Group Companies, and Purchaser confirms that it has made an independent investigation, analysis and evaluation of the Business and the Group Companies. Purchaser is acquiring the Equity Interests for investment purposes and not with a view toward or for offer or sale in connection with any distribution thereof, or with any present intention of offering, distributing or selling any of the Equity Interests. Purchaser acknowledges that the Equity Interests have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities Laws, and agrees that the Equity Interests may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from such registration available, or in a transaction not subject to registration, under the Securities Act and without compliance with foreign securities Laws, in each case, to the extent applicable. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act, and any Equity Interests that Purchaser receives hereunder will be received only on its own behalf and its Affiliate assignees and not for the account or benefit of any other person or entity. Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Equity Interests (including total loss of its investment). Section 4.9. Solvency. On the Closing Date, immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the payment of the Closing Purchase Price and payment of all related fees and expenses) and assuming the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties contained in Article III, Purchaser

56 and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be Solvent as of the Closing Date and immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Solvent” means that, with respect to any Person, as of any date of determination, (a) the amount by which the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, exceed the sum of (i) the value of all “liabilities of such Person, including contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, and (ii) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Person, as of such date, on its existing debts (including contingent and other liabilities) as such debts become absolute and mature, (b) such Person has, as of such date, adequate capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date, and (c) such Person will be able to pay its debts and obligations, as of such date, including contingent liabilities, in the ordinary course of business as they become due. Section 4.10. No Other Representations or Warranties. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (a) none of Sellers or any of their Affiliates or their respective Representatives has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the Equity Interests, the Business, the Group Companies or any of their assets (including the Transferred Assets), the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Transaction), the Group Companies’ financial condition, results of operations, future operating or financial results, estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or prospects (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or prospects) or the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Equity Interests, the Transferred Assets, the Business, the Group Companies or any of their assets furnished or made available to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, except as expressly set forth either (i) in Article III as modified by the Seller Disclosure Schedules or (ii) in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(d), (b) Purchaser is not relying and has not relied on any representation or warranty from Sellers, the Group Companies or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives in determining to enter into this Agreement, except as expressly set forth either (i) in Article III as modified by the Seller Disclosure Schedules or (ii) in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(d), and (c) none of Sellers, the Group Companies or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall have or be subject to any Liability to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Representatives to the extent resulting from Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ or Representatives’ use of, any such information, including any information, documents or material made available to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Representatives in any “data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of or negotiation of this Agreement, the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser acknowledges that, should the Closing occur, Purchaser shall acquire the Equity Interests and the assets of the Group Companies and the Transferred Assets without any representation or warranty as to merchantability or fitness thereof for any particular purpose, in an “as is” condition and on a “where is” basis, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Party agrees (i) to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and to take any and all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable and (ii) to file any notification, pre-notification or other form necessary, as the case may be, to obtain any consents, clearances or approvals required or advisable under or in connection with the Antitrust Laws and FDI Laws of the jurisdictions listed in Section 5.1(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules and the other Laws described in Section 5.1(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, in each case, as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 15 Business Days after the date hereof (and within seven (7) Business Days after the date hereof in respect of such filing in connection with the FDI Laws of Austria), and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to any other applicable Antitrust Law or FDI Law.

In exercising the foregoing rights, Purchaser and U.S. Seller shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. (b) Each of Purchaser, on the one hand, and U.S. Seller, on the other hand, shall, in connection with the efforts and obligations referenced in Section 5.1(a) to obtain all requisite approvals and authorizations or expiration of waiting periods for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act and all other applicable Laws (including all applicable other Antitrust Laws or FDI Laws), use its reasonable best efforts to (i) consult and cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with

58 any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party; (ii) subject to applicable Law, furnish to the other Party as promptly as practicable all information required for any application or other filing to be made by the other Party pursuant to any applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) promptly notify the other Party of any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or any other U.S. or foreign Governmental Entity and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby and, subject to applicable Law, furnish the other Party promptly with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications between them and the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries received from, and supply as promptly as practicable any additional information or documentation that may be requested by, the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity in respect of such registrations, declarations and filings or such transactions; and (v) permit the other Party to review any communication given by it to, and consult with each other in advance, and consider in good faith the other Party’s reasonable comments in connection with, any filing, notice, application, submission, communication, meeting or conference with, the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person; provided, however, that information may be shared with the other Party in redacted form or on an “Outside-Counsel-Only” basis if the Party producing the information determines in good faith that such procedures are reasonably necessary to prevent disclosure of privileged information, information about valuation of the transaction, or commercially or competitively sensitive information. No Party shall independently participate in any substantive meeting or communication with any Governmental Entity in respect of any such filings, investigation or other inquiry relating to Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) without giving the other Party sufficient prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and/or participate in such substantive meeting or communication. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall, on behalf of the Parties, control and lead (i) all communications and strategy for dealing with the FTC, the DOJ, and any other Governmental Entity under the HSR Act and all other applicable Laws (including all applicable other Antitrust Laws or FDI Laws) and (ii) the defense through litigation on the merits of any claim asserted by any Person (including any Governmental Entity) seeking to delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the Transaction; provided, that, in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii), Purchaser shall reasonably consult with U.S. Seller and consider in good faith any comments from U.S. Seller on the same.

59 contemplated transactions expeditiously (but in no event later than the Outside Date), including (A) proposing, negotiating, committing to, agreeing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders or otherwise, the sale, lease, divesture, disposition, or license (or holding separate pending such disposition) of any assets, operations, rights, product lines, licenses, properties, products, rights, services or businesses of Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser Group or any Group Company or any interest or interests therein, (B) otherwise taking or committing or agreeing to restrictions or actions that after the Closing would limit Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser Group or any Group Company’s freedom of action or operations with respect to, or its or their ability to retain, any assets, operations, rights, product lines, licenses, properties, products, rights, services or businesses of Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser Group or the Group Companies or any interest or interests therein, (C) otherwise agreeing to any other structural or conduct remedy with respect to Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser Group or any Group Company or any interest or interests therein, or (D) agreeing to enter into, modify or terminate existing contractual relationships, contractual rights or contractual obligations, and promptly effecting the sale, lease, license, divestiture, disposal and holding separate of, assets, operations, rights, product lines, licenses, properties, products, rights, services or businesses of Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser Group or any Group Company or any interest or interests therein, and the entry into agreements with, and submission to orders of, the relevant Governmental Entity giving effect thereto or to such restrictions or actions (such sale, lease, license, defense through litigation, divestiture, disposal and holding separate or other action described or contemplated above in this Section 5.1(c), a “Regulatory Remedy”); provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser Group be obligated to effectuate a Regulatory Remedy with respect to the Group Companies to the extent such Regulatory Remedy would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Group Companies, taken as a whole. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause each member of the Purchaser Group to, defend through litigation on the merits of any claim asserted in any court, agency or other proceeding by any Person or entity (including any Governmental Entity) seeking to delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5.1(c) shall require Purchaser or U.S. Seller to (or to cause their respective Affiliates to), and neither Purchaser nor U.S. Seller may (or may cause their respective Affiliates to), effectuate or agree to effectuate any Regulatory Remedy unless such Regulatory Remedy is conditioned upon the Closing and only effective following the Closing. (d) Subject to the obligations under Section 5.1(c), in the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or private party challenging the Transaction or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby, (i) each of Purchaser and U.S. Seller shall, and Purchaser shall cause each member of the Purchaser Group to, cooperate in all respects with each other and use its respective best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, modified, suspended, eliminated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prevents, restrains, enjoins, prohibits, makes unlawful, restricts or delays consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) Purchaser must defend, at its cost and expense, any action or actions, whether judicial or administrative, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

60 (e) Neither Purchaser nor any member of the Purchaser Group shall, and Purchaser shall cause each member of the Purchaser Group not to, take any action, including acquiring or agreeing to acquire, including by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing a portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any Person, corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, properties or equity interests, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation or such other action could reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any consents of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Entity seeking or entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties (or any of their respective Affiliates) in any separately executed clean team agreement, commercially and/or competitively sensitive information and materials of a Party will be provided to the other Party on an outside counsel-only basis while, to the extent feasible, making a version in which the commercial and/or competitively sensitive information has been redacted available to the other Party. Materials provided to the other Party or its counsel may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Business or the Group Companies, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements or with applicable Law, (iii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client privilege or confidentiality concerns, (iv) to remove other competitively sensitive material or (v) to remove information otherwise not germane to regulatory review.

As of and after the Closing, Purchaser shall, where permitted under applicable Law and/or under the terms of the relevant Benefit Plan, provide to each Continuing Employee full credit for purposes of eligibility

72 and vesting (but not for purposes of determining benefit accruals, including those under a defined benefit plan, or eligibility for benefits under a retiree health or welfare arrangement) under any Company Group Benefit Plan and each other employee Benefit Plan by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for such Continuing Employee’s service prior to the Closing with Sellers or any of their Affiliates, to the same extent such service is recognized by Sellers and their Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing; provided, that such service shall not be credited for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits. (c) Health Coverages. Unless otherwise contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement, Purchaser shall take commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents to be covered on and after the Closing by a group health plan or plans maintained by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, to the extent such Continuing Employee satisfied participation requirements and waiting period requirements under a comparable Seller Benefit Plan, that (i) do not limit or exclude coverage on the basis of any preexisting condition of such Continuing Employee or dependent (other than any limitation already in effect under the applicable group health Benefit Plan) or on the basis of any other exclusion or waiting period not in effect under the applicable group health Benefit Plan, and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee full credit under Purchaser’s or such Affiliate’s group health plans, for the year in which the Closing Date occurs, for any deductible or co-payment already incurred by the Continuing Employee under the applicable group health Benefit Plan and for any other out-of-pocket expenses that count against any maximum out-of-pocket expense provision of the applicable group health Benefit Plan or Purchaser’s or such Affiliate’s group health plans. (d) Severance. With respect to each Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated without “cause” during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide such Continuing Employee with severance benefits equal in value to the severance benefits determined in accordance with the policy set forth on Section 5.7(d) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, in each case, taking into account such Continuing Employee’s service with Sellers and their Affiliates prior to the Closing and with Purchaser and its Affiliates on and after the Closing. (e) 401(k) Plan. As soon as administratively practicable following the Closing, Purchaser shall designate a defined contribution plan or plans with a cash or deferred feature that is intended to be tax-qualified (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of each Continuing Employee located in the United States who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, was eligible to participate in a tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Sellers or their Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller 401(k) Plans”). As soon as administratively practicable following the Closing, U.S. Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the accounts of Continuing Employees under the Seller 401(k) Plans, including promissory notes evidencing outstanding loans of Containing Employees (subject to the approval of the Purchaser 401(k) Plan provider (which Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to attain)), and the value of assets attributable to such accounts of Continuing Employees, to be transferred to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan in a “transfer of assets or liabilities” in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code and Section 208 of ERISA and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

73 (f) Annual Bonuses. Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate shall continue the Company Group Benefit Plans or Seller Benefit Plans (to the extent any Continuing Employees participate in any such Seller Benefit Plan) that are annual bonus plans and set forth on Section 5.7(f) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules for the year in which Closing occurs and will pay such annual bonuses for the year in which the Closing occurs at such time as Sellers or their applicable Affiliate has historically paid such bonuses; provided, that each Continuing Employee’s bonus in respect of the year in which Closing occurs shall not be less than the accrued amount of such annual bonus in respect to such Continuing Employee and provided for as a credit to Purchaser as Funded Debt or in the calculation of Working Capital. (g) Collective Bargaining Agreements. Purchaser agrees that as of and following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, recognize the unions and works councils that are signatories to the collective bargaining or other labor Contracts covering Continuing Employees as the Representatives of the Continuing Employees of the bargaining units described therein. (h) Paid Time Off. As of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, assume all Liabilities associated with vacation and paid time off balances of the Continuing Employees, to the extent accrued and unused as of the Closing Date, and shall credit and honor, in accordance with the terms of the applicable policy of Sellers or their Subsidiaries, all vacation days and other paid time off accrued but not yet taken by the Continuing Employees, in each case, solely to the extent the value of such amounts is provided for as a credit to Purchaser as Funded Debt or in the calculation of Working Capital. (i) Health and Welfare Benefits. With respect to the Seller Benefit Plans, U.S. Seller shall be, or shall cause its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies) to be, responsible for all (a) medical, vision, dental and prescription drug claims for expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee or his or her dependents, (b) claims for short-term and long-term disability income benefits incurred by any Continuing Employee and (c) claims for group life, travel and accident and accidental death and dismemberment insurance benefits incurred by any Continuing Employee, in each case, on or prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall be, or shall cause its Affiliates to be, responsible for all (i) medical, vision, dental and prescription drug claims for expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee or his or her dependents, (ii) claims for short-term and long-term disability income benefits incurred by any Continuing Employee and (iii) claims for group life, travel and accident and accidental death and dismemberment insurance benefits incurred by any Continuing Employee, in each case, after the Closing. Except in the event of any claim for workers’ compensation benefits, for purposes of this Agreement, the following claims and liabilities shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (x) medical, vision, dental or prescription drug benefits (including hospital expenses), upon provision of the services, materials or supplies comprising any such benefits, and (y) short- and long-term disability, life, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance benefits, upon the death, illness, injury or accident giving rise to such benefits. (j) Workers’ Compensation. Sellers shall be, or shall cause their Affiliates to be, responsible for all claims for workers’ compensation benefits that are incurred prior to the Closing by any Continuing Employee to the extent such claims are covered under a workers’ compensation plan or policy maintained or owned by Sellers or their Affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, other than any Group Company). Purchaser shall be, or shall cause its Affiliates to be,

74 responsible for all claims for workers’ compensation benefits that are incurred from and after the Closing by any Continuing Employee to the extent such claims are covered under a workers’ compensation plan or policy maintained or owned by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, any Group Company). A claim for workers’ compensation benefits shall be deemed to be incurred when the event giving rise to the claim (the “Workers’ Compensation Event”) occurs. If the Workers’ Compensation Event occurs over a period both preceding and following the Closing, the claim shall be the joint responsibility and liability of U.S. Seller and Purchaser and shall be equitably apportioned between U.S. Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, based upon the relative periods of time that the Workers’ Compensation Event transpired preceding and following the Closing. (k) Subject to applicable Law, Sellers agree that Sellers will, and will cause their Affiliates and their respective service providers to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective service providers with access, on a schedule to be mutually agreed between Sellers and Purchaser in good faith, to (i) all information reasonably requested by Purchaser and its service providers to allow Purchaser to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.7 and (ii) the Company Group Employees and other Business Employees for purposes of communicating with them regarding Purchaser’s benefits programs and arrangements and facilitating enrollment therein (to the extent applicable); provided, that any communications by Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective service providers with Company Group Employees and other Business Employees prior to the Closing Date shall be subject to prior review, reasonable comment and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) by Sellers and their Affiliates. Nothing in this Agreement shall result in Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Group Companies) assuming any Liability under or in relation to Title IV of ERISA or on account of any violation of COBRA or, except as provided in the Transition Services Agreement, under any other Seller Benefit Plan or any Multiemployer Plan to which Sellers or any of their ERISA Affiliates sponsors, maintains, contributes to (or has ever been obligated to contribute to), or had any Liability with respect to, including all withholding and employment Taxes and costs related to such plans. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall assume all Liabilities under the Company Group Benefit Plans, effective as of the Closing (except as expressly provided under this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement). (l) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.4, the provisions of this Section 5.7 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Company Group Employee or Continuing Employee any right to continue in the employ or service of any Seller, any Group Company or any their respective Affiliates, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of any Seller, any Group Company or any their respective Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Company Group Employee or Continuing Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between any Seller, any Group Company or any their respective Affiliates and the Company Group Employee or Continuing Employee or any severance, benefit or other applicable plan, policy or program covering such Company Group Employee or Continuing Employee. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.7 shall (i) be deemed or construed to be an establishment, amendment or other modification of any Benefit Plan, (ii) prevent Sellers, Purchaser, any Group Company or any their respective Affiliates from amending or terminating any Benefit Plan in

75 accordance with their terms or (iii) create any third-party rights in any current or former service provider of Sellers, any Group Company or any their respective Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof). (m) WARN ACT. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for WARN Act Liabilities in connection with Continuing Employees relating to any act or omission occurring after the Closing Date. U.S. Seller shall be responsible for all WARN Act Liabilities in connection with (i) any Company Group Employee who does not become a Continuing Employee, and (ii) all Company Group Employees or Continuing Employees relating to any act or omission occurring on or prior to the Closing Date. Section 5.8. Financial Obligations. (a) On or after the Closing, to the extent U.S. Seller or any of its Affiliates incurs any cost or expense, or is required to make any payment, in connection with the exercise by any third party of its rights against the U.S. Seller or its Affiliates with respect to any outstanding letters of credit, surety, performance and other bonds, bankers’ acceptances and similar facilities and guarantees entered into by or on behalf of Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Group Companies) in connection with, for the benefit of, or relating to the Business or the assets of the Group Companies (including the Transferred Assets) (collectively, the “Credit Enhancements”), Purchaser and its applicable Subsidiaries shall indemnify and hold harmless U.S. Seller and its Affiliates against, and reimburse U.S. Seller and its Affiliates for, any and all amounts paid by U.S. Seller or its Affiliates solely to the extent drawn upon or required to be performed, excluding costs or expenses in connection with maintaining such Credit Enhancements after the Closing (and, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the period prior to the Closing). To the extent Purchaser or any of its Affiliates incurs any costs or expenses, or is required to make any payment, on or after the Closing, in connection with the exercise by any third parties of their rights relating to the period prior to Closing with respect to the Credit Enhancements, U.S. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates against, and reimburse Purchaser and its Affiliates for, any and all amounts paid by Purchaser or its Affiliates. The indemnifying party, in each case, shall, promptly and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after written demand therefor from the indemnified party, reimburse the indemnified party or its Affiliates to the extent that such applicable Credit Enhancement is called upon and the indemnified party or any of its Affiliates makes any payment or incurs any costs or expenses in respect of such Credit Enhancement. In no event shall Purchaser or any Group Company be obligated to obtain, replace or secure any such arrangement with respect to, any Credit Enhancements to the extent such Credit Enhancements support obligations that are Liabilities relating to the Retained Business of Sellers and their Affiliates. Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, increase U.S. Seller’s or its Affiliates’ obligations under or amend in a manner adverse to U.S. Seller or its Affiliates or renew or extend the term of, any Credit Enhancement without the consent of U.S. Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that there is a Credit Enhancement Change of Control with respect to any Credit Enhancement following the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, and U.S. Seller shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate to, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, terminate or cause to be terminated such Credit Enhancement, effective upon the consummation of such Credit Enhancement Change of Control, without Liability to U.S. Seller

76 or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, “Credit Enhancement Change of Control” means (a) with respect to any Group Company that is the beneficiary of a Credit Enhancement, the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) any direct or indirect purchase or acquisition (whether by way of merger, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, consolidation or similar transaction or otherwise) by any Person or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that is not an Affiliate of such Group Company (such Person or group, an “Acquiring Person”), of either (i) the majority of the Equity Securities entitled to elect the board of directors or equivalent governing body of such Group Company, or (ii) all or substantially all of the assets of such Group Company and its Subsidiaries, taken together as a whole; or (b) with respect to any assets of the Business (including any Transferred Assets) that are the beneficiaries of a Credit Enhancement, any sale, lease, exchange, transfer, license or disposition of all or substantially all of such assets to an Acquiring Person. (b) At or prior to the Closing, U.S. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to, effective as of the Closing, terminate or cause to be terminated the outstanding letters of credit, surety, performance and other bonds, bankers’ acceptances and similar facilities and guarantees to replace any outstanding letters of credit, surety, performance and other bonds, bankers’ acceptances and similar facilities and guarantees entered into by or on behalf of the Group Companies in connection with, for the benefit of, or relating to the Retained Business or the assets of Sellers or their Affiliates (other than the Group Companies) (collectively, the “Seller Credit Enhancements”), in each case, without Liability to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or, subject to the written consent of Purchaser, (i) arrange for substitute letters of credit, surety, performance and other bonds, bankers’ acceptances and similar facilities and guarantees to replace the Seller Credit Enhancements or (ii) assume all obligations under each such Seller Credit Enhancement effective as of the Closing, obtaining as soon as reasonably practicable from the creditor or other counterparty a full and irrevocable release of the Group Companies that are liable, directly or indirectly, for reimbursement to the creditor or fulfillment of other Liabilities to a counterparty in connection with such Seller Credit Enhancements (the foregoing, collectively, the “Actions on Seller Credit Enhancements”). In the event that U.S. Seller is unable to effectuate the Actions on Seller Credit Enhancements with respect to such Seller Credit Enhancements, each of Purchaser and U.S. Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to effectuate the Actions on Seller Credit Enhancements with respect to such Seller Credit Enhancements as promptly as reasonably practicable (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be after the Closing). U.S. Seller further agrees that to the extent Purchaser or any of its Affiliates incurs any cost or expense, or is required to make any payment, on or after the Closing, in connection with the exercise by any third party of its rights against Purchaser or its Affiliates with respect to the Seller Credit Enhancements, U.S. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates against, and reimburse Purchaser and its Affiliates for, any and all amounts paid by Purchaser or its Affiliates, including costs or expenses in connection with maintaining such Seller Credit Enhancements after the Closing, solely to the extent drawn upon or required to be performed. To the extent Purchaser or any of its Affiliates incurs any cost or expense, or is required to make any payment, on or after the Closing, in connection with the exercise by any third party of its rights relating to the period prior to Closing with respect to the Seller Credit Enhancements, U.S. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates against, and reimburse Purchaser and its Affiliates for, any and all amounts paid by Purchaser or its Affiliates. The indemnifying

77 party, in each case, shall, promptly and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after written demand therefor from the indemnified party, reimburse the indemnified party or its Affiliates to the extent that such applicable Seller Credit Enhancement is called upon and the indemnified party or any of its Affiliates makes any payment or incurs any costs or expenses in respect of such Seller Credit Enhancement. (c) Without limiting U.S. Seller’s undertaking in the foregoing Section 5.8(b), in the event either of the Actions on Seller Credit Enhancements are not completed effective as of the Closing, to the extent that Purchaser or any of its Affiliates has performance obligations under any Seller Credit Enhancements after the Closing, (i) U.S. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts not to renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under, or (without the consent of Purchaser) transfer to a third party, any such Seller Credit Enhancements and (ii) U.S. Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, (A) if requested by Purchaser, perform such obligations on behalf of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, and (B) otherwise take such action as requested by Purchaser so as to put Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate in the same position as if U.S. Seller or its Affiliates had performed or was performing such obligations. (d) U.S. Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the termination or release of all Seller Debt Obligations at or prior to the Closing and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with evidence from the holder(s) of such Seller Debt Obligations with respect to such release (including customary “payoff letters” or similar documents in customary form specifying the aggregate amount of the applicable debtor under the Seller Debt Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, expenses and other amounts payable thereunder) that will be outstanding as of the Closing under such Seller Debt Obligations and containing customary lien release language), which shall if necessary include an authorization in favor of Sellers or any of their Affiliates or other Representatives or any of their Affiliates to file UCC-3 termination statements or amendments. On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, U.S. Seller shall make all filings (including UCC-3 termination statements or amendments if and as necessary) that may be made by U.S. Seller without the signature of any other party, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holders of the Seller Debt Obligations to make such filings, in all local, state and foreign jurisdictions necessary to give public notice of the termination and release of such Seller Debt Obligations (in each case to the extent that such filing or public notice is necessary for the release of the relevant Seller Debt Obligation), it being understood that certain releases (including mortgage releases) of Seller Debt Obligations may require the signatures of the applicable secured parties and/or counterparties, as the case may be, which U.S. Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain promptly after the Closing Date. Section 5.9. Intellectual Property Matters. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Seller hereby grants to the Group Companies a limited, non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free, non-assignable, non- sublicensable license to use the Seller Marks as Trademarks solely (i) in a manner consistent with past practice and customary “phase out” use and (ii) on existing materials that display the Seller Marks as of the Closing Date: (x) for three (3) months for all external online or digital materials and (y) for twelve (12) months for all other uses of Seller Marks as they were used in

78 the Business during the twelve (12) month period prior to the date hereof, including on products, physical and tangible materials in any form or media in existence as of the Closing Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, invoices and delivery notifications (provided that Purchaser makes clear that Purchaser or the applicable Group Company is the counterparty to the same) and engineering drawings) (the above, the “Transition Period”). At the end of the Transition Period, Purchaser shall cause the Group Companies to cease all further use or display of the Seller Marks and destroy all physical and tangible materials in their possession or control bearing same. (b) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall file to change any applicable corporate, trade, d/b/a and similar names of the Group Companies to names that do not contain the Seller Marks, and shall diligently prosecute any such name changes until completion. (c) Purchaser agrees that the Group Companies’ use of the Seller Marks pursuant to the license in Section 5.9(a) shall be solely (i) in connection with goods and services that reflect the high levels of quality and goodwill associated with the Seller Marks as of the Closing Date and (ii) in compliance with all applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 5.9, the Group Companies have the right to use the Seller Marks after the Transition Period: (v) for uses that are required by applicable Laws, (w) for internal uses that are not visible to the public, until such items are replaced in the ordinary course of business, (x) on historical legal and business agreements and documents, (y) to describe the history of or current state of the relationship between the Group Companies and Seller and its other Affiliates, and (z) in any other manner that would constitute “fair use” of the Seller Marks under applicable Law. Section 5.10. Insurance. (a) Purchaser acknowledges that all insurance coverage for the Group Companies under policies of Sellers and their Affiliates (including the Group Companies) shall terminate as of the Closing. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for procuring, paying for and maintaining insurance coverage for the Group Companies effective from and after the Closing. (b) Notwithstanding Section 5.10(a), with respects to acts, omissions, events or circumstances relating to the Group Companies or the Business that occurred or existed prior to the Closing that are covered by occurrence-based insurance policies (other than the Workers’ Compensation Policies) of Sellers or any of their Affiliates that are maintained on behalf of any Group Company or the Business, including the Insurance Policies, U.S. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser or the Group Company covered under the applicable insurance policy (upon Purchaser’s or such Group Company’s reasonable written request) in such Group Company’s submission of a claim under such policies; provided, however, that the Group Companies acknowledge and agree that (A) any proceeds to the Group Companies from the making of such claims will be decreased by the total amount of any increased out-of-pocket costs incurred by Sellers or their Affiliates as a result of such claims, including any retroactive or prospective premium adjustments associated with such coverage, as such amounts are determined in accordance with those policies and programs generally applicable from time to time to Sellers or their Affiliates, (B) Purchaser shall be responsible for any deductible or retention associated with such claims, and (C) Sellers may, at any time after the Closing, amend,

79 commute, terminate, buy-out, extinguish liability under or otherwise modify any such insurance policy. (c) For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Closing, none of Purchaser or the Group Companies shall have any right to make claims or seek coverage under any claims-made insurance policies provided to the Group Companies by third parties or by Seller or any of its Affiliates, and, to the extent Purchaser or any Group Company, or any of their employees or third parties, make claims under such claims-made policies after the Closing, Purchaser agrees to indemnify Sellers and their Affiliates (excluding the Group Companies) for the full amount of all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Seller or any such Affiliate as a result of such claims. (d) Purchaser shall cause the Group Companies to reasonably cooperate with Seller and its Affiliates (upon the reasonable written request of Sellers or their applicable Affiliates) and share such information as is reasonably necessary in the view of Sellers and their Affiliates (excluding the Group Companies) in order to permit Sellers and their Affiliates (excluding the Group Companies) to manage and conduct their insurance matters as such Persons deem appropriate. Section 5.11. Litigation Support. In the event that and for so long as Sellers or any of their Affiliates or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is prosecuting, contesting or defending any Proceeding or Action by or against a third party or otherwise for legal compliance in connection with (a) the Transaction or any of the other transactions contemplated under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction relating to, in connection with or arising from the Business, Group Companies or the Retained Business, to the extent permitted by Law, Purchaser and Seller, as applicable, shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (and its and their officers and employees) to, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and Seller, as applicable, and its counsel (at such requesting party’s cost) in such prosecution, contest or defenses, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to make available its personnel, and provide such testimony and access to its Books and Records as shall be reasonably necessary and requested by such requesting party in connection with such prosecution, contest or defense upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours; provided that (i) such requested cooperation shall not unreasonably disrupt or interfere with the business or the operations of the cooperating party and (ii) the cooperating party shall not be obligated to provide access to, or disclose, information where such cooperating party determines, upon advice of counsel, that such access or disclosure could jeopardize the attorney- client privilege or contravene any Law (it being understood that such cooperating party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such access or to make such disclosure in a manner that would not jeopardize such attorney-client privilege or contravene any such Law); provided, further, that Purchaser and U.S. Seller acknowledge and agree that this Section 5.11 shall not apply with respect to any Proceeding or Action with respect to which Purchaser and/or its Affiliates are adverse to Sellers and/or their Affiliates. In the event of any conflict between this Section 5.11 and Article VI, Article VI shall control.

80 Section 5.12. Payments. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, U.S. Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly pay or deliver to Purchaser (or its designated Affiliates) any monies or checks that have been sent to U.S. Seller or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date to the extent they are in respect of the Business. (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, promptly pay or deliver to U.S. (or its designated Affiliates) any monies or checks that have been sent to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) after the Closing Date to the extent they are in respect of the Retained Business. (c) The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to effect any transfers or other arrangements described in Section 5.12 in a manner that is Tax efficient for the Parties and their respective Affiliates, including by treating the Person initially in possession of any such payment referenced in Section 5.12 after the Closing as holding such payment as an agent or nominee for the transferee thereof for all Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Section 5.13. Non-Solicitation of Employees; Non-Competition. (a) During the two (2) year period immediately following the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall not, and shall cause all of its Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or an engagement, or employ or engage (whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise), any Continuing Employee; provided, however, that neither Seller Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be prohibited from (i) making a general solicitation of employment not specifically directed towards Continuing Employees or (ii) soliciting for employment or an engagement, or employing or engaging, any Continuing Employee who has ceased to be employed with or engaged by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for a consecutive period of at least 180 days prior to being solicited, employed or engaged by Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the non-solicitation period for any Continuing Employee whose employment is governed by the Laws of Denmark shall be a six (6) month period immediately following the Closing Date. (b) During the two (2) year period immediately following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of Seller Parent, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or an engagement, or employ or engage (whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise), any of the Persons set forth on Section 5.13(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules; provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor any of its controlled Affiliates shall be prohibited from (i) making a general solicitation of employment not specifically directed towards such Persons or (ii) soliciting for employment or an engagement, or employing or engaging, any such Person who has ceased to be employed with or engaged by U.S. Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates for a consecutive period of at least 180 days prior to being solicited, employed or engaged by U.S. Seller or its controlled Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the non-solicitation period for any Continuing Employee whose employment is governed by the Laws of Denmark shall be a six (6) month period immediately following the Closing Date.

81 (c) During the three (3) year period immediately following the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, Seller Parent shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, engage in any business that directly competes with the Business in any jurisdiction where the Business operates, in each case, as of the Closing Date (a “Competing Business”); provided, that nothing herein shall preclude Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries from: (i) continuing to engage in, or engaging in natural evolutions or reasonable extensions of, the Retained Business; (ii) owning ten percent (10%) or less in the aggregate of any class of the outstanding securities or ten percent (10%) or less in the aggregate in value of any class or series of voting debt of any Person; (iii) acquiring and, after such acquisition, owning an interest in any Person (or its successor) that is engaged in a Competing Business if such Competing Business generated less than ten percent (10%) of such Person’s consolidated annual revenues in the last completed fiscal year of such Person; (iv) acquiring and, after such acquisition, owning an interest in any Person (or its successor) that is engaged in a Competing Business if (A) such Competing Business generated ten percent (10%) or more of such Person’s consolidated annual revenues in the last completed fiscal year of such Person and (B) U.S. Seller or its applicable Affiliate enters, within one (1) year after the consummation of such acquisition, into a definitive agreement to cause the divestiture of a sufficient portion of the Competing Business of such Person such that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.13(c) would not operate to restrict such ownership and has completed such disposition within eighteen (18) months of the date of such definitive agreement (the “Competing Business Divestiture Period”); provided, that if such divestiture has not been consummated due to (x) any applicable waiting period (including extension thereof) applicable to such divestiture under the HSR Act, or under any other applicable Law not having expired or been terminated, or (y) the failure to procure or obtain any required governmental or regulatory consents, approvals, permits or authorizations applicable to such divestiture, then the Competing Business Divestiture Period will automatically be extended so that it expires one (1) week following the later of the expiration or termination of such waiting period and the procurement or obtainment of all such consents, approvals, permits and authorizations; (v) providing products or services to any Person that is engaged in a Competing Business or offering, facilities or arranging the provision of products or services by any Person (other than an Affiliate U.S. Seller) that is engaged in a Competing Business to any Person, including any customer of U.S. Seller or any of its Affiliates; or (vi) exercising its rights or complying with its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

82 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.13, this Section 5.13 shall not apply to or restrict any acquiror (other than an Affiliate of any Seller (other than a Group Company)) of (w) U.S. Seller, (x) any of U.S. Seller’s Affiliates, (y) any business division of Seller Parent or (z) any of their respective assets; provided that, at any time during the three (3) year period immediately following the Closing Date, any such acquiring Person does not, directly or indirectly, use (i) any Confidential Information, (ii) any Intellectual Property Rights primarily related to the Business or (iii) any Intellectual Property Rights primarily related to such other businesses, in each case of clauses (i) through (iii), in the conduct of any Competing Business (provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries shall continue to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Section 5.13). Section 5.14. Misallocated Assets. If, following the Closing, any right, property or asset not primarily related to, or primarily used in, the Business on or prior to the Closing is found to have been transferred to Purchaser through its acquisition of the Group Companies or otherwise, Purchaser shall cause the Group Companies to transfer, for no consideration, such right, property or asset as soon as practicable to U.S. Seller or an Affiliate thereof designated by U.S. Seller. If, following the Closing, any right, property or asset primarily related to, or primarily used in, the Business on or prior to the Closing is found to have been retained by U.S. Seller or an Affiliate thereof, either directly or indirectly, and is not otherwise provided pursuant to a Service (as defined therein) set forth on Schedule 1 of the Transition Services Agreement as of the Closing Date, U.S. Seller shall transfer, or shall cause such Affiliate to transfer, for no consideration, such right, property or asset as soon as practicable to Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof (including a Group Company) designated by Purchaser. To the extent that any transfer under Section 5.14 is required, but not permitted by Law or an applicable Contract, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain or structure an arrangement such that Purchaser or U.S. Seller, as applicable, shall receive the rights and benefits and/or bear the obligations and burdens, of such right, property, asset or liability. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to effect any transfers or other arrangements described in Section 5.14 in a manner that is Tax efficient for the Parties and their respective Affiliates, including by treating the Person initially in possession of any such payment referenced in Section 5.14 after the Closing as holding such payment as an agent or nominee for the transferee thereof for all Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Section 5.15. Exclusivity. (a) During the Interim Period, Sellers shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates and Representatives not to, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by furnishing non-public information concerning the Business or the Group Companies) any inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Transaction, (ii) enter into discussions or negotiate with any Person in furtherance of such an inquiry, proposal or offer or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or (iii) authorize, engage in, or enter into any agreement or understanding (whether or not binding) with respect to any Competing Transaction. (b) U.S. Seller shall promptly terminate discussions or negotiations of the nature described in Section 5.15(a) that are pending as of the date hereof.

83 Section 5.16. Financing Assistance. (a) From the date hereof until the Closing Date, U.S. Seller agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall cause the Group Companies and their respective officers, directors and employees to use, reasonable best efforts to provide and shall use its reasonable best efforts to direct its and their respective Representatives to provide, in each case at Purchaser’s sole expense, such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser that is necessary and customary for financings of the type contemplated in connection with the arrangement of any debt financing as may be obtained by Purchaser in connection with the Transaction (the “Debt Financing”), including using reasonable best efforts to: (i) furnish to Purchaser and prospective lenders (A) the Business Carveout Financial Statements and (B) the unaudited balance sheet of the Business and the related unaudited statements of income as of the last day of each fiscal quarter ended more than 45 days prior to Closing (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that no audit or note review procedures shall be required to be performed on or with respect to the financial statements that are the subject of this clause (i)(B)); provided that (1) Sellers and the Group Companies shall only be obligated to deliver such information to the extent such information may be obtained from the Books and Records of Sellers and the Business without undue effort or expense and without any delay in timing of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (2) Sellers and the Group Companies shall not be obligated to furnish any of the Excluded Information; (ii) upon reasonable prior notice and at reasonable times and locations to be mutually agreed, cause members of management of the Business to participate in a reasonable number of meetings and presentations with prospective lenders, and sessions with the ratings agencies, in each case in connection with the Debt Financing and only to the extent customarily needed for syndicated credit financings; (iii) cause members of management of the Business to reasonably (A) assist Purchaser in its preparation of any bank information memoranda and related lender presentations and identify any portion of the information set forth in any of the foregoing that would constitute material, non-public information if the Company were a public reporting company, (B) deliver customary authorization letters with respect to the bank information memoranda, (C) assist Purchaser in its preparation of materials for rating agency presentations; provided that any such bank information memoranda, lender presentations, offering memorandum or similar documents that includes disclosure and financial statements with respect to the Business shall only reflect Purchaser as the obligor(s) and no such bank information memoranda, lender presentations or materials shall be issued by Sellers, their Subsidiaries or the Group Companies, and (D) solely with respect to financial information and data derived from the Business’s historical Books and Records, provide information to allow Purchaser to prepare the pro forma financial information and pro forma financial

84 statements, and in each case of clauses (A) through (D), only to the extent customarily needed for financings of the type contemplated by the Debt Financing, it being agreed that information and assistance will not be required relating to (1) the proposed aggregate amount of debt and equity financing, together with assumed interest rates, dividends (if any) and fees and expenses relating to the incurrence of such debt or equity financing, (2) any post-Closing or pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization, ownership or other pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any information used in connection with any Debt Financing or (3) any financial information related to Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or any adjustments that are not directly related to the acquisition of the Business by Purchaser; (iv) provide Purchaser, at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, all documentation and other information with respect to the Group Companies as shall have been reasonably requested in writing by Purchaser at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date that is required in connection with the Debt Financing by U.S. regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act; and (v) reasonably facilitating the preparation of definitive documentation for the Debt Financing (including any credit agreement, guarantees, pledge and security documents and perfection certificates, and disclosure schedules to any of the foregoing and the pledging of collateral) (provided that (A) none of the documents or certificates shall be executed and/or delivered except in connection with the Closing, (B) the effectiveness thereof shall be conditioned upon, or become operative after, the occurrence of the Closing and (C) no liability shall be imposed on Sellers, any Group Company or any of their respective officers or employees involved). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.16(a), nothing will require Sellers or the Group Companies to provide (or be deemed to require Sellers or the Group Companies to prepare) any (1) pro forma financial statements or (2) projections (“Excluded Information”). (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) such requested cooperation shall not (A) unreasonably disrupt or interfere with the business or the operations of Sellers and the Group Companies, including the Business or (B) cause significant competitive harm to Sellers or the Group Companies, including the Business, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, (ii) nothing in this Section 5.16 shall require cooperation to the extent that it would (A) subject any of Sellers’ or the Group Companies’ respective directors, managers, officers or employees to any actual or potential personal liability, (B) reasonably be expected to conflict with, or violate, Sellers’ and/or any of their Subsidiaries’, including the Group Companies’, organization documents or any Law, or result in the contravention of, or violation or breach of, or default under, any Contract to which Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries, including the Group Companies, is a party, (C) cause any condition to the Closing set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 to not be satisfied or (D) cause any breach of this Agreement, (iii) none of Sellers or the Group Companies shall be required to (A) pay any

85 commitment or other similar fee or incur or assume any liability or other obligation in connection with the Debt Financing or be required to take any action that would subject it to actual or potential liability, to bear any cost or expense or to make any other payment or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Debt Financing or any information utilized in connection therewith, (B) deliver or obtain opinions of internal or external counsel, (C) provide access to or disclose information where Sellers, with advice of external counsel, determine that such access or disclosure could jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or contravene any Law or Contract, or (D) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or any other Contract to which Seller or the Group Companies, is party, (iv) none of Sellers or the Group Companies, or their respective directors, officers or employees, acting in such capacity, shall be required to execute, deliver or enter into or perform any agreement, document or instrument with respect to the Debt Financing (except for customary authorization letters in any marketing materials for the Debt Financing) or adopt any resolutions or take any other actions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which such debt financing is obtained, and (v) none of the Group Companies or their respective directors, officers or employees shall be required to execute, deliver or enter into, or perform any agreement, document or instrument with respect to the Debt Financing that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing Date (except for customary authorization letters in any marketing materials for the Debt Financing) (provided, however, that Sellers shall cause directors, managers and officers of the Group Companies determined by Purchaser to remain as directors, managers and officers of the Group Companies on and after the Closing Date to execute and deliver such documents so long as such documentation is not released from escrow and does not become effective prior to the Closing). To the extent that this Section 5.16 requires Sellers’ and the Group Companies’ cooperation with respect to any obligations relating to the Debt Financing, Sellers and the Group Companies shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 5.16 for purposes of Article VIII of this Agreement if Sellers and the Group Companies have provided Purchaser with the assistance required under this Section 5.16 with respect to the Debt Financing. Sellers hereby consent to the use of logos of the Business in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, nor reasonably likely to, harm or disparage Sellers, the Group Companies or the Business. (c) Sellers and the Group Companies shall have no liability whatsoever to Purchaser in respect of any financial information or data or other information provided pursuant to this Section 5.16. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of Sellers and the Group Companies, and their respective Affiliates and Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with any debt financing and the performance of their respective obligations under this Section 5.16 and any information utilized in connection therewith, except in the event such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties arose out of or resulted from gross negligence, Fraud or Willful Breach of any of Seller, the Group Companies and their Representatives. Purchaser shall, promptly upon request of Sellers, reimburse Sellers and the Group Companies, for all out-of- pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by Sellers, the Group Companies or the Business (including those of their Representatives) in connection with the cooperation required by this Section 5.16.

86 (d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Section 5.16 represent the sole obligation of Sellers, the Group Companies and their respective Representatives with respect to cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and no other provision of this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) shall be deemed to expand or modify such obligations. Section 5.17. Representations and Warranties Insurance. Purchaser may, at its election, obtain a customary buy-side representations and warranties insurance policy relating to this Agreement (the “R&W Insurance Policy”). Purchaser agrees that any such R&W Insurance Policy shall expressly provide that the insurer thereunder (the “R&W Insurer”) shall not be entitled to exercise, and shall waive and not pursue any and all, subrogation, indemnification, contribution, assignment or other rights against U.S. Seller or any of U.S. Seller’s Related Parties, except in the case of Fraud committed by the Person against whom recourse is sought, and U.S. Seller and U.S. Seller’s Related Parties shall be express third party beneficiaries of such provisions. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, neither U.S. Seller nor any of U.S. Seller’s Related Parties shall have any liability to the R&W Insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy. Following the date hereof, Purchaser shall not amend or waive, nor permit the amendment or waiver of, the foregoing provisions contained in the R&W Insurance Policy or otherwise amend or modify the R&W Insurance Policy in a manner materially adverse to U.S. Seller or any of U.S. Seller’s Related Parties without U.S. Seller’s prior written consent. If Purchaser elects to obtain a R&W Insurance Policy, Purchaser shall pay 100% of the total cost attributable to the placement of the R&W Insurance Policy, including premium, underwriting fees, broker fees and commissions, Taxes and all other fees and expenses related thereto. Section 5.18. Shared Contracts. (a) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, with respect to each Shared Contract, U.S. Seller shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts, and upon request of U.S. Seller, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with Sellers and their Subsidiaries (and, if necessary and advisable, with any applicable third party to such Shared Contract), to divide, partially assign, modify or replicate (in whole or in part) such Shared Contract to the extent permitted under applicable Law such that (i) the rights, benefits, obligations and Liabilities of Sellers or such applicable Subsidiaries in respect of that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the Business will be assigned to or assumed by, as applicable, one or more Group Company and (ii) the rights, benefits, obligations and Liabilities of Sellers or such applicable Subsidiaries in respect of that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the Retained Business will be assigned to or assumed by, as applicable, Sellers or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Group Companies) (such division, partial assignment, modification or replication, the “Shared Contract Separation”); provided, that nothing in this Section 5.18(a) shall require any Party or any of its Affiliates to pay any fee or other payment or consideration (monetary or otherwise), make any concession or accommodation to any third party, incur any Liability or commence, defend or participate in any Action; provided, further, that prior to the Closing, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective Representatives may contact any third party to any Shared Contract without U.S. Seller’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). From and after the Closing, (A) Purchaser (or a Group Company) shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries against all Covered

87 Losses arising from or relating to the portion of any Shared Contract apportioned to the Business and (B) U.S. Seller and/or its Affiliates shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and the Group Companies against all Covered Losses arising from or relating to the portion of any Stranded Shared Contract apportioned to the Retained Business. Other than in the ordinary course of business, neither Purchaser nor U.S. Seller (or their respective Affiliates) shall extend the term or otherwise amend the terms of any Shared Contract in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the other Party (or any of such Party’s Subsidiaries) without the prior written consent of U.S. Seller or Purchaser, as applicable (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). (b) For any Shared Contract for which the Shared Contract Separation could not be completed prior to the Closing (such Shared Contract, a “Stranded Shared Contract”), from the Closing until the earliest of (x) the completion of such Shared Contract Separation, (y) the expiration or termination of such Stranded Shared Contract in accordance with its terms (without any extensions or renewals thereof) and (z) the first anniversary of the Closing Date, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to continue the Shared Contract Separation of such Stranded Shared Contract and to enter into a mutually agreeable arrangement, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, under which, effective from and after the Closing until the expiration or termination of such Stranded Shared Contract in accordance with its terms (without any extensions or renewals thereof), (i) one or more Group Companies would obtain and assume, as applicable, all of the rights, benefits, obligations and Liabilities of U.S. Seller or its applicable Subsidiaries in respect of that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the Business and (ii) U.S. Seller or any of its Subsidiaries would obtain and assume, as applicable, all of the rights, benefits, obligations and Liabilities of U.S. Seller or its applicable Subsidiaries in respect of that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the Retained Business; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.18(b) shall require any Party or any of its Affiliates pay any fee or other payment or consideration (monetary or otherwise), make any concession or accommodation to any third party, to incur any Liability or commence, defend or participate in any Action for so long as U.S. Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is party to any Shared Contract. (c) Without limiting the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, no representation, warranty or covenant of Seller (other than the representations set forth in Section 3.4) contained in this Agreement shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition shall be deemed not satisfied, based on, in and of itself, (i) the failure to complete the Shared Contract Separation with respect to any Shared Contract or (ii) any Action commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to complete the Shared Contract Separation with respect to any Shared Contract. Section 5.19. Director and Officer Insurance. At or prior to the Closing, U.S. Seller shall, or shall cause one of the Group Companies to, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, use reasonable best efforts to purchase and for a period of not less than six years after the Closing Date, maintain (or shall obtain a six-year “tail” policy providing for) directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering the present and former managers, directors and officers of the Group Companies (the “D&O Insurance Policy”) with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date; provided, that the total cost of such “tail” policy shall not exceed 250% of the last annual premium allocated to the Business prior to the date hereof under Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries’ existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies.

88 Section 5.20. IT Migration. U.S. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, at U.S. Seller’s sole cost and expense, take such actions as are set forth on Section 5.20 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules related to the IT migration, separation, and stand-up of the Business (the “IT Migration”). The Parties shall reasonably cooperate and act in good faith in connection with the IT Migration, including promptly responding to reasonable requests from the other Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations under this Section 5.20 shall survive the Closing through the termination of the Transition Services Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1 thereof. Seller’s discretion will be used to provide any of the actions set forth on Section 5.20 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules prior to the Closing. Section 5.21. SEED Program. From the date hereof until the earlier of (a) the Closing and (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, U.S. Seller shall, and shall cause each applicable Group Company to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, and to cause the third party service providers responsible for the SEED Program Milestones, to complete (or cause to be completed) the SEED Program Milestones in all material respects in accordance with the terms of Section 3.26 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules. At the meetings of the Steering Committee, U.S. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with notice of any material delay or development of which it is aware and that would reasonably be expected to result in the SEED Program Milestones not being completed in any material respect prior to Closing. Section 5.22. Additional Financial Information. During the six (6) month period immediately following the Closing Date, U.S. Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their officers, directors, employees and Representatives to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, in each case at Purchaser’s sole expense, historical financial information relating to the Business and such other pertinent and customary information regarding the Business or the Group Companies, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser; provided that U.S. Seller and its Subsidiaries shall only be obligated to deliver such information to the extent such information may be obtained from the Books and Records of U.S. Seller and its Subsidiaries and is of a nature consistent with information prepared prior to the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, neither U.S. Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to provide any information to the extent related to the Retained Business. Section 5.23.

U.S. Seller shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, instruct the consultant preparing the Phase I Report to use reasonable best efforts to comply with the ASTM International E1527-21 standard to the extent feasible in the relevant jurisdictions of the Phase I Facilities. Upon receipt of the completed Phase I Reports for each of the Phase I Facilities, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to procure a pollution legal liability insurance policy for such Phase I Facility and notify U.S. Seller in writing within 10 Business Days of receiving such Phase I Report, whether such insurance policy has been obtained for the applicable Phase I Facility.

101 Parties or the Debt Financing Sources, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, for any loss or damage suffered as a result of this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the failure of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or the abandonment or termination of any of the foregoing for any reason or for no reason or for a breach of, or failure to perform under, this Agreement or any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith or otherwise or in respect of oral representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, (ii) upon receipt of the Termination Fee by U.S. Seller (or any designee thereof) and any other amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.2(c) (in each case, in circumstances in which the Termination Fee or such other amounts are payable), none of Purchaser, Purchaser’s Related Parties or the Debt Financing Sources or Sponsors shall have any further Liability whatsoever relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter (or the abandonment or termination thereof for any reason or for no reason) or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or in respect of a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter or any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, except that nothing herein shall relieve (1) Purchaser of its obligations under Section 5.3 [Confidentiality] and Section 5.5 [Publicity] or (2) AIP, LLC of its obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement that survive the termination of this Agreement, (iii) in the event that the Termination Fee is payable, then, subject to sub-clauses (1) and (2) in the immediately preceding clause (ii), none of Sellers or any of the Group Companies shall seek to recover any Liabilities of any nature whatsoever or seek any other remedy (whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil and whether in Contract or in tort, in Law or in equity, or granted by statute or otherwise) against Purchaser, Sponsors, the Debt Financing Sources or their respective Affiliates or any other of Purchaser’s Related Parties in respect of, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the transactions contemplated by any of the foregoing or the abandonment or termination of any of the foregoing for any reason or for no reason, or a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter or any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, and (iv) solely in circumstances where the Termination Fee is not payable and specific performance of Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Transaction is not awarded, then, (A) in all circumstances (including in the event of a Willful Breach or otherwise), the maximum aggregate monetary liability of the Purchaser (and Sponsors in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter) shall be limited to an amount equal to the amount of the Termination Fee (the “Damages Cap”) and (B) none of Sellers or any Group Company or their respective Affiliates shall, and U.S. Seller hereby agrees (on behalf of themselves, the Group Companies and their respective Affiliates) not to, institute any Action to seek to recover monetary damages under this Agreement from Purchaser, the Debt Financing Sources, Sponsors or any of their respective Affiliates in excess of the foregoing Damages Cap or in contravention of the foregoing limitations described in sub-clause (A) of this clause (iv). (f) If U.S. Seller commence a Proceeding hereunder seeking specific performance of Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing, U.S. Seller may also plead a claim for and pursue the Termination Fee in such Proceeding against Purchaser but solely as alternative relief if specific performance were to be denied and this Agreement were to be validly terminated in accordance with its terms. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) while U.S. Seller may pursue both

102 specific performance for the consummation of the Closing and the Termination Fee in the alternative if specific performance is denied by a court of competent jurisdiction, under no circumstances shall U.S. Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance for the consummation of the Closing and the Termination Fee and (y) under no circumstance shall U.S. Seller be entitled to any amount payable as damages in addition to either specific performance for the consummation of the Closing or payment of the Termination Fee or, in circumstances where the Termination Fee is not payable, in excess of the Damages Cap. U.S. Seller will cause any pending Proceeding seeking specific performance for the consummation of the Closing, the Termination Fee or monetary damages to be dismissed with prejudice (and any such judgment in respect of any such Proceeding will be deemed fully satisfied) at such time as Purchaser consummates the Closing in accordance with this Agreement. Section 8.3. Notice of Termination. In the event of termination by U.S. Seller or Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.1, written notice of such termination shall be given by the terminating party to the other party to this Agreement in order to effect such termination. ARTICLE IX INDEMNIFICATION Section 9.1. Survival. Except in the case of Fraud, none of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder nor any of the covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall survive the Closing, except for (i) those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing which shall continue and survive the Closing until all obligations with respect thereto shall have been performed or satisfied or have been terminated in accordance with their terms (or if no period for performance is specified herein, they shall continue and survive indefinitely) and (ii) this Article IX and Article X (and any corresponding definitions set forth in Article I) which shall continue and survive the Closing until all obligations with respect thereto shall have been performed or satisfied or have been terminated in accordance with their terms (or if no period for performance is specified herein, they shall continue and survive indefinitely). This Section 9.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the Parties contained in this Agreement that by its terms contemplates performance after the Closing, and shall not extend the applicability of any covenant or agreement of the Parties contained in this Agreement that by its terms relates only to a period between the date of this Agreement and the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(c) shall, except in the case of Fraud, survive for sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation with respect to such claim. Section 9.2. Indemnification by U.S. Seller. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, effective as of and after the Closing, U.S. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Group Companies following the Closing), and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, equityholders, members, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Covered Losses incurred or suffered by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, to the extent caused by, arising out of or resulting from:

103 (a) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller Parties contained in this Agreement to be performed in whole or in part by Seller Parties following the Closing (but only the extent to which such covenants and agreements contemplated performance in whole or in part after the Closing); (b) any Liabilities of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from the Retained Business, including the employment or termination of employment of any employee of the Retained Business; (c) any Taxes (i) relating to a Seller Consolidated Return (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Taxes for which a Group Company is liable as a result of having been a member of a group filing a Seller Consolidated Return), (ii) resulting from the Reorganization or (iii) in the case of any Tax Proceeding, any incremental Taxes to the purchasing entity of the Cimbria Equity Interests, including by way of a disposition of the Cimbria Equity Interests, to the extent caused by, arising out of or resulting from the fact that the actual aggregate fair market value of the Cimbria Equity Interests as of the Closing Date, as successfully asserted by the relevant Taxing Authority in such Tax Proceeding, differs from the fair market value of the Cimbria Equity Interests ascribed to such interests in Section 6.9(a)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that, solely for purposes of establishing and calculating the indemnity pursuant to Section 9.2(c)(iii), the “purchasing entity” mentioned above shall be deemed to be a newly formed U.S. corporation subject to only U.S. federal income tax and with no assets other than forty percent (40%) of the Cimbria Equity Interests); (d) any Liabilities (including any Taxes) to the extent arising out of or, resulting from, or relating to, any changes or modifications to, or any actions or inactions of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates that are deviations from the steps plan set forth on Section 5.25 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, including, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent arising out of, resulting from, or relating to, the Chinese Separation (Changzhou) or the Chinese Separation (Shanghai); (e) any investigation, monitoring, removal, cleanup, remediation, bodily injury or property damage with regard to the Release of Hazardous Materials at or from any Former Facility; (f) any investigation, monitoring, removal, cleanup, remediation, bodily injury or property damage with regard to the Release of Hazardous Materials at or from any Phase I Facility; (g) any Liabilities relating to the JV Supply Losses; and (h) the Liabilities described on Section 9.2(h)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, U.S. Seller shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Purchaser Indemnified Party for, any Covered Losses pursuant to Section 9.2 to the extent that such Covered Losses were reflected, recorded or included in Working Capital in the Final

104 Purchase Price; provided, however, that this sentence shall not limit the amount to which any Purchaser Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification for any Covered Losses in excess of the amount reflected, recorded or included in Working Capital in the Final Purchase Price. Section 9.3. Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, effective at and after the Closing, Purchaser and its applicable Subsidiaries shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller Parent and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, equityholders, members, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Covered Losses incurred or suffered by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties to the extent caused by, arising out of or resulting from (a) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement to be performed in whole or in part by Purchaser following the Closing (but only the extent to which such covenants and agreements contemplated performance in whole or in part after the Closing), (b) any Liabilities to the extent arising out of or relating to the Group Companies or their respective assets or the Business, including any Liabilities to the extent arising out of or relating to the ownership or operation of the Group Companies or their respective assets or the Business following the Closing by Purchaser or its Affiliates or (c) in the case of any Tax Proceeding, any incremental Taxes to U.S. Seller or Seller Parent to the extent caused by, arising out of or resulting from the fact that the actual aggregate fair market value of the Transferred Assets as of the Closing Date, as successfully asserted by the relevant Taxing Authority in such Tax Proceeding, differs from the fair market value ascribed to the total value of the Transferred Assets as set forth in Section 6.9(a)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Agreement. Section 9.4. Procedures. (a) A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand that the Indemnified Party has determined has given rise to, or would reasonably be expected to give rise to, such right of indemnification (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party) the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under Section 5.8(a), Section 5.8(b), Section 5.10(c), Section 5.16(c), Section 5.18(a) and this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), it being agreed that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 9.1 for such covenant or agreement. (b) Upon receipt of a notice of a Third Party Claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 5.8(a), Section 5.8(b), Section 5.10(c), Section 5.16(c), Section 5.18(a), Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim (at the expense

105 of such Indemnifying Party) with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Action or (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense (and shall consider in good faith the views of the Indemnified Party and its counsel); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such separate external counsel if representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of external counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. Purchaser or U.S. Seller, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim, including by furnishing Books and Records, personnel and witnesses, as appropriate for any defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, it shall be authorized to consent to a settlement or compromise of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided, that such settlement or judgment does not involve any injunctive or other equitable relief or finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates and expressly unconditionally and irrevocably releases the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all Liabilities with respect to such Third Party Claim. No Indemnified Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 6.1(f) shall control with respect to any Tax Proceeding (and not this Section 9.4). Section 9.5. Exclusive Remedy and Release. Purchaser and U.S. Seller acknowledge and agree that, except as set forth in any other Transaction Document, following the Closing, (x) the indemnification provisions of Section 5.8(a), Section 5.8(b), Section 5.10(c), Section 5.16(c), Section 5.18(a) and Section 9.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of U.S. Seller and (y) and the indemnification provisions of Section 5.18(a) and Section 9.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Purchaser with respect to matters specifically set forth therein, and, if obtained by Purchaser in its discretion, the R&W Insurance Policy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser with respect to all other matters (including the breach of any representation or warranty contained herein), in each case of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), for any Covered Losses and any other losses and Liabilities (including any Covered Losses and any other losses and Liabilities) from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise (and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that such Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by this

106 Agreement, including any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement by any Party, or any failure by any Party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement that, by its terms, was to have been performed, or complied with, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, the Parties hereby irrevocably waive (i) any right of rescission of this Agreement, and (ii) other than as provided in the foregoing, any claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, following the Closing, whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability or otherwise, that in either case of clause (i) or (ii), they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled, in each case, except in the case of Fraud. Section 9.6. Additional Indemnification Provisions. (a) With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Agreement, all Covered Losses shall be net of any third-party insurance or indemnity, contribution or similar proceeds that have been actually recovered by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification (it being agreed that if third-party insurance or indemnification, contribution or similar proceeds in respect of such facts are recovered by the Indemnified Party subsequent to the Indemnifying Party’s making of an indemnification payment in satisfaction of its applicable indemnification obligation, such proceeds shall be promptly remitted to the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the indemnification payment made (net of applicable deductibles, limitations, co-payments, retro-premium obligations and premium increases attributable thereto, and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the collection of any such proceeds)), and the Indemnified Party shall use, and cause its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance and indemnity, contribution or similar provisions covering such Covered Loss to the same extent as it would if such Covered Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder. Upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party may have against any third-party insurers and any third parties that do not have any material ongoing relationship with Purchaser, its Affiliates or the Business with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assign any such rights to the Indemnifying Party upon the written request of the Indemnifying Party. (b) Neither Purchaser Indemnified Parties nor Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for the same Covered Loss more than once under this Article IX or otherwise under this Agreement or any Transaction Document even if a claim for indemnification or otherwise in respect of such Covered Loss has been made as a result of a breach of more than one covenant, agreement or representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document. Section 9.7. Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including this Article IX):

107 (a) solely with respect to indemnifiable liability pursuant to Section 9.2, no Party shall be liable to any other Party or its Affiliates, or its or their respective Representatives, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise, at law or in equity, for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or similar damages, including lost profits, diminution in value or damages calculated on a multiple of earnings or other similar metrics (in each case, except to the extent reasonable foreseeable) or exemplary or punitive damages (solely unless such exemplary or punitive damages are awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction in respect of a third-party claim); (b) U.S. Seller’s maximum aggregate indemnifiable liability pursuant to Section 9.2(a) and Section 9.2(d), taken together, shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the Final Purchase Price; (c) with respect to U.S. Seller’s indemnifiable liability pursuant to Section 9.2(e), (i) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to Covered Losses arising thereunder (A) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Covered Losses thereunder first exceeds $100,000 (the “Deductible”), at which point the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover only for Covered Losses in excess of the Deductible and (B) with respect to an individual claim or series of related claims unless the aggregate amount of all Covered Losses that would be payable in respect of such individual claim or series of related claims exceeds $50,000 (provided that the Covered Losses below such amount shall be counted for purposes of determining whether the Deductible has been reached); provided that in no event shall U.S. Seller’s maximum indemnifiable liability pursuant to Section 9.2(e) exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate; and (ii) U.S. Seller’s obligations shall survive until the date that is three (3) years from the Closing Date (provided that any claims for indemnification made in accordance with Section 9.2(e) prior to the three-year anniversary of the Closing Date shall survive); (d) with respect to U.S. Seller’s indemnifiable liability pursuant to Section 9.2(f), (i) U.S. Seller’s obligations thereunder shall terminate with respect to Covered Losses at or relating to any Phase I Facility if U.S. Seller completes the Phase I Report with respect to such Phase I Facility, unless Purchaser can reasonably demonstrate that no pollution legal liability insurance policy relating to such Phase I Facility that does not expressly exclude such Covered Losses can be procured (regardless of pricing) and (ii) U.S. Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (A) for one hundred percent (100%) of the first $1,000,000 of all Covered Losses arising thereunder, and (B) thereafter, for fifty percent (50%) of the next $2,000,000 of the Covered Losses arising thereunder; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that U.S. Seller’s maximum aggregate indemnifiable liability pursuant to Section 9.2(f) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to $2,000,000; (e) with respect to U.S. Seller’s indemnifiable liability pursuant to each of Section 9.2(e) (to the extent within the control of the Purchaser Indemnified Party) and Section 9.2(f), no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have any right to be indemnified, defended or held harmless hereunder for any Covered Losses caused by, arising out of or resulting from (i) any conditions of contamination identified through any environmental sampling or testing that is not expressly required by Environmental Laws or (ii) any report to any Governmental Authority that is not expressly required by Environmental Laws, or (iii) any environmental investigatory,

108 monitoring, removal, cleanup or remedial action, except to the extent such action is expressly required by Environmental Laws and then only to the extent any such action is reasonably necessary to attain compliance in a cost-effective manner with Environmental Laws, assuming continued industrial use of the subject property and employing risk-based standards and institutional controls where available; (f) with respect U.S. Seller’s indemnifiable liability pursuant to Section 9.2(g), (i) U.S. Seller shall have no indemnifiable liability if the JV Supply Agreement is entered into at or prior to the Closing in a form mutually agreed upon by the Parties, (ii) U.S. Seller’s obligations shall survive until the date that is one year from the Closing Date, provided that any claims for indemnification made in accordance with Section 9.2(g) prior to the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date shall survive, and (iii) U.S. Seller’s maximum aggregate indemnifiable liability pursuant to Section 9.2(g) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to $2,000,000; and (g) with respect to U.S. Seller’s indemnifiable liability pursuant to Section 9.2(h)(i), the terms and conditions set forth on Section 9.2(h)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules shall apply. Section 9.8. Indemnification After-Tax. Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX in respect of any Covered Loss will be reduced by an amount equal to any net cash Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Covered Loss in the taxable year the Covered Loss occurs (net of any fees, costs, expenses) related to such realization and determined on a “with and without” basis); provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall be deemed to actually realize a cash Tax benefit because of an increase in Tax basis (even if such increase in Tax basis is amortizable or depreciable for Tax purposes). Section 9.9. Mitigation. Each Party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its respective Covered Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Covered Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder. ARTICLE X GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 10.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto and the Equity Commitment Letter, along with the Seller Disclosure Schedules and Purchaser Disclosure Schedules, constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. Neither Party shall be liable or bound to the other Party in any manner by any representations, warranties or covenants relating to such subject matter except as specifically set forth herein and therein. Section 10.2. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations of the Parties hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part (including by operation of law in connection with a merger or consolidation or conversion) by Purchaser or U.S. Seller without the prior written consent of U.S. Seller (in the case of Purchaser) or Purchaser (in the case of

109 U.S. Seller or the Group Companies), which may be withheld in the absolute discretion of the party with such consent right, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Purchaser without the consent of U.S. Seller, but must remain liable hereunder, (ii) following the Closing, U.S. Seller may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of U.S. Seller without the consent of Purchaser, (iii) U.S. Seller may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any entity that acquires all or substantially all of U.S. Seller’s assets related to this Agreement, whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or otherwise without the consent of Purchaser (including any entity that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Seller Parent or any division or business segment of Seller Parent so long as Seller Parent remains liable hereunder for all of its obligations, including in accordance with Section 10.13), but, in each case U.S. Seller must remain liable hereunder, and the applicable assignee must agree in writing to bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents applicable to Seller, and any remaining obligations of U.S. Seller under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents will be fully assumed by such Person (including by operation of Law, if applicable), (iv) U.S. Seller may assign its rights and interests (but not its obligations) under this Agreement to any Debt Financing Sources (or the agents for such Debt Financing Sources) as collateral security without the consent of Purchaser but, in each case, must remain liable hereunder and (v) Purchaser and its Affiliates may assign its rights and interests (but not its obligations) under this Agreement to any Debt Financing Sources (or the agents for such Debt Financing Sources) as collateral security without the consent of Seller but, in each case, must remain liable hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any incremental Taxes arising as a result of, or in connection with, a Purchaser assignment pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be borne exclusively by Purchaser. Section 10.3. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each Party. By an instrument in writing, Purchaser, on the one hand, or U.S. Seller, on the other hand, may waive compliance by the other Party with any term or provision of this Agreement that the other Party was or is obligated to comply with or perform. The failure or delay of any Party to assert any rights or remedies shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder. Section 10.4. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto, are not intended to confer in or on behalf of any Person not a Party (and their successors and assigns) any rights, benefits, causes of action or remedies with respect to the subject matter or any provision hereof; provided, that (a) U.S. Seller and U.S. Seller’s Related Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Section 5.17, (b) the Related Parties of U.S. Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Section 10.14, (c) if the Closing occurs, the Indemnified Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, the provisions of Article IX to the extent applicable to such Indemnified Parties and (d) the rights of the Debt Financing Sources with respect to the Debt

110 Financing Sources Protective Provisions, which are intended for the benefit of such Persons and will be enforceable by them. Section 10.5. Notices. All notices and other communications to be given to any Party shall be sufficiently given for all purposes hereunder if in writing and delivered by hand, courier or overnight delivery service, or five (5) days after being mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with appropriate postage prepaid, or when received in the form of an email transmission (receipt confirmation requested), and shall be directed to the address set forth below (or at such other address or email address as such party shall designate by like notice): (i) if to Purchaser, c/o American Industrial Partners 450 Lexington Avenue, 40th Floor New York, NY 10017 Attention: Eric Baroyan; General Counsel Email: ebaroyan@americanindustrial.com; notices@americanindustrial.com with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to: Sidley Austin LLP 787 Seventh Avenue New York, NY 10019 Attention: Justin A.

111 Section 10.6. Specific Performance. (a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform any provision of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provision, and accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of actual damages and without any requirement for the posting of security, this being in addition (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement) to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other Party or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter to prevent breaches or threatened breaches hereof or thereof, or enforce compliance herewith or therewith, in each case, in compliance with or subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter. If any Party brings any claim to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended to (a) the 15th Business Day following the resolution of such Proceeding or (b) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Proceeding. (b) The Parties further agree that (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.6, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a Party under this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter (including the Termination Fee or alternatively, monetary damages subject to the Damages Cap, in each case, subject to compliance with Section 8.2(f)) in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 10.6 are not available or otherwise are not granted and (y) nothing set forth in this Section 10.6 shall require any Party to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any Proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 10.6 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VIII, nor shall the commencement of any legal action or legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.6 or anything set forth in this Section 10.6 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VIII (and/or receipt of any amounts due pursuant to Section 8.2), or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter that may be available then or thereafter; provided, further, that in no event shall the Termination Fee be payable to U.S. Seller unless and until this Agreement has been validly terminated and the Termination Fee is due and payable pursuant to Section 8.2(b) and in no event shall U.S. Seller be permitted or entitled to receive (x) both a grant of specific performance and the Termination Fee or (y) any monetary damages in addition to a grant of specific performance or in addition to payment of the Termination Fee. Subject to compliance with Section 8.2 and the remainder of this Section 10.6, each Party agrees that it will not (i) oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance to cause the Closing to occur and other equitable relief in accordance with this Section 10.6 on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific

112 performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law, inequitable or not appropriate for any reason. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction. Section 10.7. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement and its enforcement, and any controversy arising out of or relating to the making or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to Delaware’s principles of conflicts of law. In addition, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Complex Commercial Division of the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or, in the event that any Proceeding involves claims exclusively within the jurisdiction of the federal courts, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (and, in each case, the respective appellate courts therefrom) (collectively, the “Chosen Courts”), in the event that any Proceeding (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arises out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereby, and agrees that the Chosen Courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over such Proceedings; (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such Chosen Court; (c) agrees that it will not bring any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the applicable Chosen Court; and (d) agrees that it will not seek to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, that (x) any such Proceeding (i) is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) should be transferred or removed to any court other than the Chosen Courts, or (iii) should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other proceeding in any court other than the Chosen Courts, or (y) this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by the Chosen Courts. Each Party agrees that service of process upon such party in any such Proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 10.5 and Purchaser hereby irrevocably and unconditionally appoints AIP, LLC as its agent for such purpose. Section 10.8. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE ADMINISTRATION THEREOF OR THE TRANSACTION OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN. NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENTS. NO PARTY HERETO WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 10.8. NO PARTY HERETO HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR

113 REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.8 WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES. Section 10.9. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. Section 10.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one (1) or more such counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered (by email or otherwise) to the other Party. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“pdf”) form or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document or any electronic signatures to this Agreement complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 (including DocuSign) will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signatures. This Agreement has been executed in the English language. If this Agreement is translated into another language, the English language text shall in any event prevail. Section 10.11. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whether or not the Closing takes place, and except as set forth otherwise in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

Filing fees incurred in connection with filings under any Antitrust Law (other than the HSR Act) or FDI Law shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser, on the one hand, and fifty percent (50%) by U.S. Seller, on the other hand. Section 10.12. Interpretation; Absence of Presumption. (a) It is understood and agreed that the specification of any Dollar amount in the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Seller Disclosure Schedules or Purchaser Disclosure Schedules is not intended to imply that such amounts or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Seller Disclosure Schedules or Purchaser Disclosure Schedules in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described in this Agreement or included in the Seller Disclosure Schedules or Purchaser Disclosure Schedules is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. The disclosure of any matter in any section in the Seller Disclosure Schedules or Purchaser Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to have been disclosed in any other section in

114 the Seller Disclosure Schedules or Purchaser Disclosure Schedules solely to the extent the applicability of such disclosure thereto is reasonably apparent on its face. Nothing herein (including the Seller Disclosure Schedules and the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules) shall be deemed an admission by either Party or any of its Affiliates, in any Proceeding or Action, that such party or any such Affiliate, or any third party, is or is not in breach or violation of, or in default in, the performance or observance of any term or provisions of any Contract. Notwithstanding any materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications in any of the representations and warranties of Seller Parent or Purchaser in this Agreement, for administrative ease, certain items, information or other matters may be included in the Seller Disclosure Schedules or the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules that are not necessarily limited to items, information or matters required to be disclosed by this Agreement to be reflected in the Seller Disclosure Schedules or Purchaser Disclosure Schedules, as applicable, considered by U.S. Seller to be material to the Business (including the Group Companies) or the financial condition or results of operations of the Business (including the Group Companies) or considered by U.S. Seller or Purchaser to reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, as applicable. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Nothing contained in the Seller Disclosure Schedules or the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules is intended to broaden the scope of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement. The fact that any item, information or other matter has been included, referred to or disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Schedules or the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules (i) shall not be construed to establish, in whole or in part, any standard of the extent disclosure is required (including any standard of materiality), for purposes of such schedules; (ii) does not represent a determination by U.S. Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, that such item did not arise in the ordinary course of business; and (iii) shall not constitute an admission or indication by U.S. Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, that such disclosure is required to be made pursuant to any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. (b) For the purposes of this Agreement, (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (b) references to the terms Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit and Schedule are references to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (c) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereto,” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto; (d) references to “Dollars” or “$” shall mean U.S. dollars; (e) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall mean “including without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (f) the word “or” shall mean “and/or”; (g) references to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form; (h) provisions shall apply, when appropriate, to successive events and transactions; (i) the headings contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; (j) U.S. Seller and Purchaser have each participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and if an ambiguity or question of interpretation should arise, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto or thereto, as applicable, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; (k) a reference to any

115 Person includes such Person’s successors and permitted assigns; (l) any reference to “days” means calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified; (m) when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day; and (n) when reference is made to information that has been “made available,” “provided or “delivered” to Purchaser or its Representatives, such reference shall mean that such information was made available and accessible for review by Purchaser and its Representatives in the “Project Gondola” electronic data room hosted by Datasite no later than one day prior to the date hereof. Section 10.13. Seller Parent Guarantee. Seller Parent hereby irrevocably guarantees to Purchaser, U.S. Seller’s due, prompt and faithful performance and discharge (including with respect to payment) of, and compliance with, whether before or after Closing, all of the Liabilities, obligations (including payment), covenants, terms, conditions and undertakings by U.S. Seller under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, including all indemnification and other payment obligations of U.S. Seller hereunder and any obligations or Liabilities of U.S. Seller arising from any breach of this Agreement. Seller Parent agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (a) the failure or delay on the part of Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Seller Parent or U.S. Seller or (b) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding instituted by or against Seller Parent or U.S. Seller. If Seller Parent fails to perform its obligations owing under this Section 10.13, Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue against Seller Parent all of the rights and remedies that it is entitled to pursue against U.S. Seller pursuant to this Agreement, or which may be available at law or in equity, upon U.S. Seller’s failure to pay such amounts. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller Parent’s guarantee hereunder is in respect of the performance of all obligations of U.S. Seller under this Agreement (and not limited to payment obligations). Purchaser hereby agrees that Seller Parent shall have all defenses to its obligations hereunder that would be available to U.S. Seller under this Agreement other than (x) those relating to financial distress, insolvency or illiquidity of U.S. Seller or (y) the failure or delay on the part of Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Seller Parent or U.S. Seller. Seller Parent’s obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective and will remain until the full performance and payment of the obligations and Liabilities of U.S. Seller under or in respect of this Agreement. Section 10.14. Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents may only be enforced against, and any Proceeding based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents for breach hereof or thereof may only be made against, the entities that are expressly identified herein as parties hereto and thereto (and then only with respect to specific obligations set forth herein and therein with respect to such party), none of the former, current and future Affiliates, directors, officers, managers, employees, advisors, Representatives, shareholders, members, managers, partners, successors and assigns of any Party or any Affiliate thereof or any former, current and future Affiliate, director, officer, manager, employee, advisor, Representative, shareholder, member, manager, partner, successor and assign of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Related Parties”) that is not a Party shall have any Liability for any Liabilities of the Parties for any Proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of

116 this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith and therewith, none of the Parties shall have any rights of recovery in respect hereof against any Related Party that is not a Party, and no personal Liability shall attach to any Related Party that is not a Party through any Party or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a Proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise), by or on behalf of a Party against any Related Party that is not a Party, by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.14, nothing in this Section 10.14 shall be deemed to limit any Liabilities of, or claims against, any party to any Transaction Document or serve as a waiver of any right on the part of any party to such Transaction Document to initiate any Proceeding permitted pursuant to and in accordance with the specific terms of such Transaction Document. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any claims of any Party for Fraud. Section 10.15. Waiver of Conflict Regarding Representation; Nonassertion of Attorney- Client Privilege. Purchaser waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) to waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing, of U.S. Seller, any of its Affiliates or any shareholder, officer, employee or director of U.S. Seller or any of its Affiliates (any such Person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including in connection with a dispute with Purchaser or its Affiliates, and following the Closing, with any Group Company (including in respect of any claim for indemnification by Purchaser), by any legal counsel currently representing U.S. Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including Simpson Thacher & Bartlett (“Seller Counsel” and such representation the “Current Representation”). Purchaser will not assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) not to assert, any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection with respect to any communication during the Current Representation between Seller Counsel, on the one hand, and any Designated Person, on the other hand, regarding this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, it being the intention of the Parties that all such rights to such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection and to control such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection shall be retained by U.S. Seller and that U.S. Seller, and not Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Group Companies), shall have the sole right to decide whether or not to waive any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection. Accordingly, from and after the Closing, none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) shall have the right to use any such communications or to access the files of the Current Representation, all of which shall be and remain the property of U.S. Seller and not of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies), or to internal counsel relating to such engagement. Section 10.16. Debt Financing Matters. Each of Purchaser and the Seller Parties hereby agrees that notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) no Debt Financing Source will have any liability (where in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations or losses arising under, out of, in

117 connection with or related in any manner to this Agreement, or based on, in respect of or by reason of this Agreement, its negotiation, execution performance or breach of the Transaction or the transactions contemplated pursuant to the Debt Financing, the debt commitment letter or the performance of any services thereunder (provided that nothing in this Section 10.16 will limit the rights of Purchaser (including its successors and permitted assigns under the debt commitment letter) and the other parties to the debt commitment letter, including the rights to enforce the obligations and liability of the Debt Financing Sources under the debt commitment letter), (b) any claim, suit, action or proceeding of any kind or description (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) involving any Debt Financing Source arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its negotiation, execution, performance or breach, or the Transactions or the transactions contemplated pursuant the Debt Financing, the debt commitment letter or the performance of any services thereunder will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of a state or federal court sitting in the County of New York, Borough of Manhattan (and appellate courts thereof), (c) any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, and any interpretation of the debt commitment letter will be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (except with respect to the provisions of the debt commitment letter that incorporate the governing law provisions of Section 10.7), (d) no Party will commence, permit any of their respective Affiliates to commence, or support anyone else in commencing (and if commenced, agree to dismiss or terminate and not assist), any such claim, suit, action or proceeding in any other court, (e) the waiver of rights to trial by jury set forth in Section 10.8 applies to any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, (f) only Purchaser (including its successors and permitted assigns under the debt commitment letter) and the other parties to the debt commitment letter will be permitted to bring any claim against a Debt Financing Source for failing to satisfy any obligation to fund the Debt Financing pursuant to the terms of the debt commitment letter, (g) no amendment or waiver of Section 8.2(e), Section 10.7 and this Section 10.16 that is materially adverse to the Debt Financing Sources will be effective without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources party to the debt commitment letter, and (h) the Debt Financing Sources are express and intended third party beneficiaries of Section 8.2(e), Section 10.7 and this Section 10.16 (collectively, the “Debt Financing Sources Protective Provisions”).
