In the event that such access is not made reasonably available to Buyer and its accounts and other representatives in a reasonably timely manner, the delivery date for Buyer to deliver to Seller the Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be extended until a date mutually agreed between the Parties.

(ii) If Seller does not give written notice of any dispute (a “Purchase Price Dispute Notice”) to Buyer within forty-five (45) days of receiving the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, then Buyer and Seller agree that the Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to set forth the final Net Working Capital (and corresponding Net Working Capital Adjustment), Cash, Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, Unpaid Seller Expenses, Reimbursed CapEx and Purchase Price, in each case, for purposes of determining the Actual Adjustment.

In connection with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(b), Buyer and Seller agree to execute, if requested by the Accounting Firm, an engagement letter in customary form that is reasonable satisfactory to each of Buyer and Seller; provided, that in the event that either Buyer or Seller refuses to execute such an engagement letter or otherwise fails to cooperate with the other Party and the Accounting Firm in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(b) (as reasonably determined by the other Party), the other Party shall be permitted to unilaterally engage the Accounting Firm to render a determination of the applicable dispute in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(b) and the Accounting Firm shall be permitted to rely on any such unilateral engagement to the same extent as if the Accounting Firm were mutually engaged by Buyer and Seller, and Buyer and Seller agree that in the event of any such engagement, the determination of the Accounting Firm with respect to such dispute shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties and shall not be subject to court review or otherwise appealable.

(A) Within fifteen (15) days after the engagement of the Accounting Firm, Seller and Buyer shall submit their respective positions with respect to the items set forth in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice in the form of a written report, a copy of which shall be delivered to the other Party upon submission to the Accounting Firm, and no ex parte conferences, oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or other form of evidence gathering or hearings shall be conducted or allowed; provided, that at the Accounting Firm’s request, or as mutually agreed by Seller and Buyer, Seller and Buyer may meet with the Accounting Firm so long as representatives of both Seller and Buyer are present. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be instructed to be based solely on the written reports submitted to the Accounting Firm by Seller and Buyer and oral submissions by Seller and Buyer at meetings held in compliance with the prior sentence (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions and other terms

18

included in this Agreement; provided, that in resolving a disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item or less than the smallest value for such item, in each case, claimed by Buyer or Seller in the written reports submitted to the Accounting Firm. In the absence of manifest error by the Accounting Firm and Fraud, the Accounting Firm’s decision with respect to the matters in dispute shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall not be subject to court review or otherwise appealable, and any Party may seek to enforce such decision in a court of competent jurisdiction. The Accounting Firm shall complete its review within thirty (30) days of receiving the materials set forth in this Section 2.4(b)(ii)(A).

(B) The terms of appointment and engagement of the Accounting Firm shall be as agreed upon between Seller and Buyer, and any associated engagement fees shall be initially borne 50% by Seller and 50% by Buyer; provided, that the fees and disbursements of the Accounting Firm shall ultimately be allocated between Seller and Buyer in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted to the Accounting Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted. All other costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Party incurring such cost and expense. The Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(ii) and, as so revised, such Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to set forth the final Net Working Capital (and corresponding Net Working Capital Adjustment), Cash, Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, Unpaid Seller Expenses, Reimbursed CapEx and Purchase Price, in each case, for all purposes hereunder (including the determination of the Actual Adjustment).

(iii) Buyer and the Company shall, and shall cause the Company to, make their financial records, the Company’s books and records and the working papers of Buyer’s accountants prepared in connection with preparation of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, as well as the employees of the Company, reasonably available to Seller and its accountants and other representatives (and Seller and its accountants and other representatives shall be permitted to make copies as they see reasonably necessary) at regular business hours, in such a manner as to not interfere with the normal operation of Buyer or the Company (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters, if requested) solely for the purpose of assisting Seller and its accountants and other Representatives in its review of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations and any objections or disputes with respect thereto.

(iv) The final, conclusive and binding Purchase Price as determined in accordance with this Section 2.4(b) will be referred to as the “Final Purchase Price”.

(i) If the Actual Adjustment is a positive amount, then within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this

19

Section 2.4, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company, to pay to Seller an aggregate amount equal to such positive amount by wire transfer or delivery of immediately available funds.

(iii) Within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4 (and concurrent with the payments made or the instructions delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(i) or Section 2.4(c)(ii), as applicable), Buyer and Seller shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver to Seller any Adjustment Escrow Funds not distributed to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(ii).

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, recovery from the Adjustment Escrow Account shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Buyer and its Affiliates for any negative Actual Adjustment and Seller shall not have any liability or obligation under this Section 2.4 for any portion of the Actual Adjustment in excess of the amount of the then-remaining Adjustment Escrow Funds.

(v) Any amounts which become payable pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) will constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes.

Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Tax Law. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seller with at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of any such withholding and to provide Seller a reasonable opportunity to establish (to Buyer’s satisfaction, exercised in good faith) any available exemption from, or reduction in, such withholding.

(f) Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties agree that they intend that the acquisition of the Interests as contemplated by this Agreement will be treated for U.S. federal (and, to the extent applicable, state and local) income tax purposes as the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of the Company (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The Parties shall file all Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and shall not take any position in any audit, action, suit, investigation or proceeding in respect of Taxes or otherwise contrary to the Intended Tax Treatment, except in each case as otherwise required pursuant to a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(b) As of and following the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates shall retain the sponsorship of and all Liabilities and obligations at any time arising under, out of, or with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan and any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement at any time sponsored, maintained, contributed to (or required to be contributed to) by Seller or any of its Affiliates or otherwise with respect to which Seller or any of its Affiliates has (or has previously had) any Liability or obligation, including the responsibility

48

Effective upon Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself, the Company, and its and their respective successors and assigns, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, releases and forever discharges Seller and its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns from any and all rights, claims, debts, causes of action, obligations and liabilities or losses of any nature or kind, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, matured or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, liquidated or unliquidated or

49

due or to become due, and whether arising in Law, in equity or otherwise, based upon facts, circumstances or occurrences existing on or prior to Closing (including with respect to any matters arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or other Environmental Laws or any other environmental, health or safety matters); provided, however, that the foregoing release does not cover (and, for purposes of clarity, such matters are not hereby released or discharged) any claims or rights (a) arising under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document (b) of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company) against any Affiliate of Seller to the extent that such claims or rights are not related to the Company or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or (c) arising under any of the offer letters set forth on Schedule 3.10 or any Proprietary Rights Agreement of any Business Employee.

Section 6.10 Seller Release. Effective upon Closing, Seller, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and its and their respective successors and assigns, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, releases and forever discharges the Company and their respective directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns from any and all rights, claims, debts, causes of action, obligations and liabilities or losses of any nature or kind, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, matured or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, liquidated or unliquidated or due or to become due, and whether arising in Law, in equity or otherwise, based upon facts, circumstances or occurrences existing on or prior to Closing (including with respect to any matters arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or other Environmental Laws or any other environmental, health or safety matters); provided, however, that the foregoing release does not cover (and, for purposes of clarity, such matters are not hereby released or discharged) any claims or rights arising under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document.

Section 6.11 Restrictive Covenants. Seller shall assign to the Company any and all rights it or any of its Affiliates may have under any restrictive or confidentiality covenants of any Business Employees, or, to the extent related to the Business, any other Person and all causes of action thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that if any Business Employee is laid-off or terminated without cause by the Company, Seller may hire such Business Employee and the Company agrees that such employment will not constitute a violation of any non-competition agreement in place with the Business Employee at issue.

Section 6.12 Further Assurances; Wrong Pockets.

(a) In case any time after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as the other Party may request (at the requesting Party’s cost and expense).

(b) After the Closing: (i) if Seller or any of its Affiliates receives any payment, refund or other amount relating to the Business or that is otherwise properly due and owing to Buyer or the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Seller shall promptly remit, or shall cause to be remitted such amount to Buyer, and (ii) if Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives any payment, refund or other amount relating to the Retained Business or that is otherwise properly

50

due and owing to Seller or any of its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Buyer shall promptly remit, or shall cause to be remitted such amount to Seller.

(c) After the Closing, if Buyer and Seller mutually agree that Seller or its Affiliate possesses any Asset that should belong to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, then upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) promptly transfer, assign, convey and deliver such Asset, free and clear of Liens, to Buyer or its designee. All liabilities of the Company that are Excluded Liabilities shall be, as of the Closing, automatically transferred, assigned, conveyed and delivered to Seller, and Seller hereby assumes all such liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.12(c) shall limit the right to indemnification of any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7.2.

(d) If, at any time, if Seller and Buyer mutually agree that Buyer or its Affiliate (including the Company) possesses any property or asset of Seller or the Seller Retained Business, then upon Seller’s request, Buyer shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) promptly transfer, assign, convey and deliver such asset, property or right, free and clear of Liens, to Seller or its designee. All liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates that are Assumed Liabilities shall be, as of the Closing, automatically transferred, assigned, conveyed and delivered to the Company, and the Company hereby assumes all such liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.12(d) shall limit the right to indemnification of any Seller Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7.3.

(e) In the event of any breach of Section 3.12(d), Seller grants to Buyer a non-exclusive, royalty free license, for a period of six (6) months, to allow Buyer to continue to use the Seller Marks and operate the Business while using commercially reasonable efforts to remove such Seller Marks from the property used by the Business or owned by the Company.

(g) Notwithstanding the delivery of the Domain Name Assignment Agreement in accordance with Section 2.3(a)(ix), the Parties shall effect the assignment of the domain names contemplated thereunder as promptly as practicable following the end of the applicable service period under the Transition Services Agreement, it being understood that the performance of certain services by Seller under the Transition Services Agreement requires management by Seller of such domain names.

Section 6.13 Insurance.

(a) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, each of the Company as well as the Assets shall cease to be insured by any claims-made insurance policies or any self-insured programs of Seller or Seller’s Affiliates; provided, that with respect to any claims related to events prior to and including the Closing Date, from and after the Closing until the date that is three (3) years after the Closing Date, Seller shall provide notice to any carriers

51

under any claims-made insurance policies of the Seller to continue to process any claims made thereunder by the Company, to the extent such claims relate to events or circumstances relating to the Business, the Assets or the Company that occurred or existed prior to the Closing Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, claims that might be brought after the Closing Date but arising from events that occurred prior to the Closing Date). Seller may amend any claims-made insurance policies and ancillary arrangements in the manner it deems appropriate to give effect to this Section 6.13; provided, that nothing herein shall be deemed to effect an assignment of any insurance policies that, pursuant to their terms and conditions, may not be assigned without the insurer’s consent.

(b) With respect to any occurrence-based third party liability insurance policies and workers compensation insurance policies of Seller, including any deductibles or self-insured retentions under such policies, with respect to events or circumstances relating to the Business, the Assets, the Company or the Business Employees that occurred or existed prior to the Closing Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, claims that might be brought after the Closing Date but arising from events that occurred prior to Closing Date) and that are covered by occurrence-based liability insurance policies and workers compensation insurance policies of Seller or its Affiliates in existence as of the Closing Date, Seller’s sole responsibility with respect to such claims is to timely notify and file for coverage with the applicable insurance carrier and inform Buyer of such submission of claims, and Seller shall remit to Buyer any recoveries in respect of such claims; provided, that Seller retains the ability to provide case management recommendations and instructions to such carrier, with Buyer’s reasonable agreement to such recommendations or instructions, including in the event of any Action as described in the sentence that immediately follows; provided, further, that Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller has no responsibility for any insurer actions with respect to accepting or denying such claims or for any insurer’s treatment of such claims. In the event that any Action is required for coverage to be asserted against any insurer or a claim to be perfected, Buyer shall control such actions and do so at Buyer’s sole expense; provided, that Seller shall provide commercially reasonable assistance to Buyer and shall have the opportunity to participate, at its discretion, in the Action with separate counsel at its sole expense. The terms of such policies, including any deductibles and self-insured retentions, shall remain unaffected by the terms of this Agreement. This Section 6.13 shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance, and nothing in this Section 6.13 is intended to waive or abrogate in any way Seller’s own rights to insurance coverage for any liability.

Section 6.14 Post-TSA Transferred Assets. As of the end of the applicable Service Term (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement), Seller will transfer title to the personal property set forth on Schedule 6.14(the “Transferred IT Assets”) to the Company, free and clear of all Liens; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Transferred IT Assets will remain in the physical possession of the Company and, if applicable, the Business Employees to which they are assigned through the time of such transfer of title. Seller and the Company will reasonably cooperate with each other to (i) separate the documentation, configurations, interfaces, and other data of the Business (collectively, “Business Data”) from the data of other legal entities which, after termination of this Agreement, are not expected to be involved in the Business, (ii) following such separation, remove all non-Business Data from the Transferred IT Assets, and (iii) remove or transition to a Buyer license the applicable applications on the Transferred IT Assets that are

52

licensed to Seller, in each case, in a manner that minimizes disruption to the operation of the Business by the Company and the transition thereof to Buyer.

Section 7.4 Notification of Claims. A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Article 7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Party responsible for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim, demand or circumstance (describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim, demand or circumstance) that the Indemnified Party has determined has given, or would reasonably be expected to give, rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement; provided that the failure to prompt notice of a claim hereunder shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. A claim or demand asserted by a third party is hereinafter referred to as a “Third-Party Claim”.

Section 7.5 Third-Party Claim Mechanics.

(a) Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.4 with respect to any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim and, in the event

53

that the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such claim, it 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; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.5, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim (and, to the extent the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense, shall transfer control of such defense to the Indemnified Party) if (i) the Indemnified Party shall have one or more legal or equitable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Party, there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, (iii) such Third-Party Claim seeks equitable relief or involves a criminal Action, (iv) the adverse determination of such third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to a material business relationship of the Indemnified Party or (v) the Indemnifying Party shall not have assumed the defense of such Third-Party Claim within 30 days of delivery of a notice of such claim for indemnity; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.5, prior to assuming the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall (x) acknowledge and agree in writing that the Indemnifying Party would have an indemnity obligation for any Loss resulting from such Third-Party Claim as provided under this Article 7 and (y) furnish the Indemnified Party with reasonable evidence that the Indemnifying Party has adequate resources to defend the Third-Party Claim and to fulfill its indemnity obligations hereunder.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall select, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence and shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or, to the extent permitted by this Section 7.5, settlement of such Third-Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and (iii) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose. The fees and expenses of such separate counsel with respect to the Third-Party Claim shall be paid by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate 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 (or is unable to) assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim then the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim, without the consent of any Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, that the Indemnifying Party may agree to any the settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s consent if it (i) does not include an injunction or other equitable remedy adversely affecting or encumbering any material assets or properties of the Indemnified Parties, their respective Affiliates or the Business, (ii) does not involve criminal liability or any admission of wrongdoing, (iii) involves only the payment of monetary damages and the Indemnifying Party pays all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement, (iv) includes, as a condition of such settlement or judgment, a complete release of each Buyer Indemnitee (where the Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnitee)

54

or Seller Indemnitee (where the Indemnified Party is a Seller Indemnitee), or (v) does not require disclosure under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

Section 7.6 Insurance Proceeds. If any Losses sustained by an Indemnified Party are covered by an insurance policy or an indemnification, contribution or similar obligation of another Person (other than an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party), the Indemnified Party shall cause such Indemnified Party to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments; provided, that in no event shall the Indemnified Party be required to initiate any Action to pursue or collect such proceeds, indemnity contribution or similar payment. If any Indemnified Party actually receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments prior to being indemnified with respect to such Losses under this Article 7, the payment under this Article 7, with respect to such Losses shall be reduced by after-tax the amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments (less reasonable attorney’s fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such recovery). If any Indemnified Party receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments after any Indemnified Party has actually already received payment from Indemnifying Party in respect of indemnification under this Article 7, for some or all of such Losses, such Indemnified Party shall pay (or shall cause to be paid to) the Indemnifying Party the lesser of (a) the amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payment (less the costs and expenses incurred in connection with such recovery) and (b) the aggregate amount paid by Indemnifying Party to all Indemnified Parties with respect to such Losses. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses for which such party is or may be entitled to indemnification hereunder (and the costs and expenses of such mitigation shall constitute Losses); provided, that this sentence shall not apply to any Losses incurred as a result of, in connection with or relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

Section 7.7 Third Party Beneficiaries. The Seller Indemnitees and the Buyer Indemnitees are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Article 7.

Section 8.5 Construction; Interpretation. The term “this Agreement” means this Agreement together with all Schedules and Exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No Party, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing or enforcing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Party, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Person by virtue of its authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (i) the words, “herein”, “hereto”, “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedules and Exhibits, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (iii) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (iv) the words “include”, “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation” and the language following “include”, “includes” or “including” shall not be deemed to set forth an exhaustive list; (v) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”; (vi) references to “dollar”, “dollars” or “$” shall be to the lawful currency of the United States; (vii) references to a Contract or applicable Law are to such Contract or applicable Law as amended, modified or supplemented, including in the case of Contracts by waiver or consent and in the case of applicable Law, by succession of comparable successor applicable Law and all references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein; (viii) references to a Person include the successors and permitted assigns of such Person; (ix) the word “or” will not be limiting or exclusive; (x) the phrases “provide to”, “made available” and “deliver to” and phrases of similar import mean that a true, correct and complete paper or electronic copy of the information or material referred to has been delivered the Party to whom such information or material is to be provided; and (xi) the phrases “provided to Buyer” or “made available to Buyer” and phrases of similar import means, with respect to any information, document or other material of the Company, that such information, document or material was made available for review and properly indexed by the Company and its Representatives in the virtual data room established by the Company in connection with this Agreement (the “Data Room”) at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the execution of this Agreement. All payments made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars.

Section 8.6 Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules or other documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. Any item disclosed on any Schedule referenced by a particular section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other section in this Agreement if the relevance of such disclosure to such other section is reasonably apparent. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule 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

57

such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Time of the Essence; Computation of Time. Time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” mean “to but excluding” and the word “through” means “to and including”. Whenever the last day for the exercise of any privilege or the discharge of any duty hereunder shall fall upon a day that is not a Business Day, the Party having such privilege or duty may exercise such privilege or discharge such duty on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day. All references to “days”, “months” or “years” shall be to calendar days, months and years, respectively, unless otherwise indicated as a “Business Day”.

Section 8.8 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Section 6.1 and Section 8.18, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.9 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect 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 determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, 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 an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 8.10 Amendment. Subject to Law and Section 8.11, this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written agreement executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of Buyer and Seller. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and any purported amendment by any Party or Parties effected in a manner which does not comply with this Section 8.10 shall be void.

Section 8.11 Waiver.

(a) Seller may waive compliance (i) by Buyer with any term or provision of this Agreement or (ii) by the Company of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed after the Closing. Buyer may waive compliance by Seller or the Company with any term or provision of this Agreement (other than compliance by the Company of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed after the Closing).

(b) Any agreement on the part of any Party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party. Any waiver of any term or

58

condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of or delay by any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 8.12 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 8.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action (a) arising under this Agreement or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions related hereto, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. Each Party hereby agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the Parties may file an original counterpart of a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

Section 8.15 Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the Parties (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and (c) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each Party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address of the Party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 8.2. Nothing in this Section 8.15, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each Party agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

Section 8.16 Remedies.

(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 the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Seller and Buyer shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Seller or Buyer are entitled at Law or in equity.

(b) Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at Law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 8.17 Waivers.

(a) Recognizing that Morrison & Foerster LLP ( “MoFo”) has acted as legal counsel to Seller and certain of its Affiliates and the Company prior to the Closing, and that MoFo intends to act as legal counsel to Seller and certain of its Affiliates after the Closing, each of Buyer, and the Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with MoFo representing Seller and/or its Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Buyer, the Company or the transactions contemplated herein (including in respect of litigation). In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between Seller, its Affiliates, the Company and MoFo in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Company). Accordingly, Buyer agrees that following the Closing neither it, the Company nor their Affiliates shall have access to any such communications, or to the files of MoFo relating to its engagement with Seller and certain of its Affiliates, and/or the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) Seller and its Affiliates (and not any of the Company) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and the Company shall not be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of MoFo in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Company) shall hold such property rights and (iii) MoFo shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between MoFo and the Company or otherwise.

(b) Recognizing that Kirkland & Ellis LLP (“K&E”) has acted as legal counsel to Buyer and certain of its Affiliates prior to the Closing, and that K&E intends to act as legal counsel to Buyer, the Company and certain of their respective Affiliates after the Closing, Seller

60

hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with K&E representing Buyer, the Company and certain of their respective Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Seller, the Company or the transactions contemplated herein (including in respect of litigation).

Section 8.18 Non-Recourse. All claims or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents), may be made only against the entities that are expressly identified as Parties and thereto. No Person who is not a named party to this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, equityholders, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any named party to this Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents (“Non‑Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or such other Ancillary Document (as the case may be) or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or such other Ancillary Document (as the case may be) or the negotiation or execution hereof or thereof; and each Party waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates.
