Contingent Receivable Amount, the Earn-Out Liability Reduction Amount and the
Acquisition Amounts, together with a calculation of the Purchase Price (the
“Estimated Purchase Price”) based on such estimates and the Earn-Out Liability
Amount (which shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.4), (ii) a determination of the Pro
Rata Percentage and Percentage Allocation of each Seller and the Holdback
Allocation for each Seller (other than AIG). The Estimated Closing Statement and
the determinations and calculations contained therein shall be prepared in
accordance with this Agreement, including Section 2.4(e).
(b)    Determination of Final Purchase Price.
(i)    As soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than ninety (90) days
after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller
Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s good
faith proposed determination of the actual amounts of Closing Working Capital,
Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Seller Expenses, the 2017 Short-Term
Deferred Contingent Receivable Amount, the Long-Term Deferred Contingent
Receivable Amount, the Paid Deferred Contingent Receivable Amount, the Earn-Out
Liability Reduction Amount and the Acquisition Amounts, together with a
calculation of the Purchase Price based thereon and the Earn-Out Liability
Amount (which shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to adjustment
pursuant to this Section 2.4). The Closing Statement and the determinations and
calculations contained therein shall be prepared in accordance with this
Agreement, including Section 2.4(e).
(ii)    Within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Seller Representative
of the Closing Statement, the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers)
may deliver written notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Buyer of any dispute it
has with respect to the preparation or content of the Closing Statement, which
Objection Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the amount, determination
or calculation in dispute and the basis therefor. Any amount, determination or
calculation contained in the Closing Statement and not specifically disputed in
a timely delivered Objection Notice shall be final, conclusive and binding on
the Parties. If the Seller Representative does not timely deliver an Objection
Notice with respect to the Closing Statement within such thirty (30) day period,
the Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If
an Objection Notice is timely delivered within such thirty (30) day period,
Buyer and the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) shall negotiate
in good faith to resolve each dispute raised therein (each, an “Objection”). If
Buyer and the Seller Representative, notwithstanding such good faith efforts,
fail to resolve any Objections within fifteen (15) days after the Seller
Representative delivers an Objection Notice, then Buyer and the Seller
Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) shall jointly engage the dispute
resolution group of a mutually agreeable accounting firm of national reputation
(the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve such disputes (acting as an expert and not an
arbitrator) in accordance with this Agreement (including Section 2.4(e)) as soon
as practicable thereafter (but in any event within thirty (30) days after
engagement of the Accounting Firm). Buyer and the Seller Representative shall
direct the Accounting Firm to deliver a written report containing its final
determination of the subject matter of the disputed Objections (which
determination shall be within the range of dispute in respect of each Objection
between the amounts set forth on the Closing Statement and the Objection Notice)
within such thirty (30) day period. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be
based solely on the definitions and other applicable provisions of this
Agreement and/or presentations consisting of (x) a single written presentation
submitted by each of Buyer and the Seller Representative (which the Accounting
Firm shall be instructed to distribute to Buyer and the Seller Representative
upon receipt of both such presentations)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and (y) a single written response submitted by each of Buyer and the Seller
Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) to each such presentation and any
interrogatories of the Accounting Firm (which the Accounting Firm shall be
instructed to distribute to Buyer and the Seller Representative upon receipt of
such responses). For the avoidance of doubt, neither Buyer nor the Seller
Representative shall have any ex parte communications with the Accounting Firm
relating to this Section 2.4(b) or this Agreement, and the Accounting Firm shall
not conduct an independent investigation in respect of its determination. All
Objections that are resolved between the Parties or are determined by the
Accounting Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties absent
manifest error or Fraud. The costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be
borne by Buyer and the Sellers in a proportion as is appropriate to reflect
their relative success in the resolution of all the Objections finally
determined by the Accounting Firm; for example, if the Seller Representative
challenges the calculation of the Final Purchase Price by an amount of $100,000,
but the Accounting Firm determines that the Seller Representative has a valid
claim for only $60,000, then Buyer shall bear sixty percent (60%) of the fees
and expenses of the Accounting Firm and the Sellers shall bear the other forty
percent (40%) of such fees and expenses. Subject to the foregoing sentence, each
Party shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses incurred in connection
with this Section 2.4.
(c)    Access. Buyer shall, and shall cause each Group Company to, make its
financial records, accounting personnel and advisors available to the Seller
Representative or its designee, its accountants and other representatives and
the Accounting Firm at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice
during the review by the Seller Representative and the Accounting Firm of, and
the resolution of any Objections with respect to, the Closing Statement.
(d)    Adjustments.
(i)    Payment by Buyer. If the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to
Section 2.4(b) (the “Final Purchase Price”) exceeds the Estimated Purchase
Price, Buyer shall, or shall cause a Group Company to, pay to the Sellers in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages an amount equal to such
excess (not to exceed the amount of Adjustment Escrow Funds in the Adjustment
Escrow Account), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts
specified by such Sellers or (if not so specified by a Seller) by the Seller
Representative prior to the Closing Date, within three (3) Business Days after
the date on which the Final Purchase Price is finally determined.
(ii)    Payment from the Adjustment Escrow Funds. If the Final Purchase Price is
less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then within three (3) Business Days
after the date on which the Final Purchase Price is finally determined, then the
Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) and Buyer shall deliver a joint
written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release
and pay to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank
account designated in such joint written instruction no later than the fifth
(5th) Business Day after the date on which the Final Purchase Price is finally
determined, a portion of the Adjustment Escrow Funds equal to the amount of such
shortfall (not to exceed the amount of Adjustment Escrow Funds in the Adjustment
Escrow Account).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii)    Release of Adjustment Escrow Funds. Within three (3) Business Days
after the date on which the Final Purchase Price is finally determined, the
Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) and Buyer shall deliver to the
Escrow Agent a joint written instruction directing the Escrow Agent to release
and pay to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages,
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account of each
Seller designated in such joint written instruction no later than the fifth
(5th) Business Day after the date on which the Final Purchase Price is finally
determined, an amount equal to the Adjustment Escrow Funds remaining in the
Adjustment Escrow Account after giving effect to any payment required pursuant
to Section 2.4(d)(ii).
(e)    Accounting Procedures. The Estimated Closing Statement, the Closing
Statement and the determinations and calculations contained therein shall be
prepared and calculated on a consolidated basis for the Group Companies in the
same manner and consistent with the accounting principles, practices,
procedures, policies and methods (with consistent classifications, judgments,
inclusions, exclusions and valuation and estimation methodologies) as set forth
in Exhibit A. For the avoidance of doubt, the Earn-Out Liability Amount shall be
final as of the date of this Agreement and, shall not be subject to adjustment
or dispute pursuant to this Section 2.4. The Parties agree to treat any payment
made pursuant to this Section 2.4 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all
Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
Section 2.5    Withholding. Buyer and the Company shall be entitled to deduct
and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any amount payable
pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and
withheld under applicable Tax Law; provided, that promptly upon becoming aware
of any potential required withholding (other than in respect of wages or other
compensation) and prior to effecting any such withholding, Buyer shall notify
the affected Seller of such withholding in writing in reasonable detail and
shall cooperate with such Seller to reduce or eliminate any withholding that
otherwise would be required. Amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 2.5 and
paid over to the appropriate Tax authority 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.

(d)    No Liability under Title IV of ERISA has been incurred by any Group
Company (including as a result of such Group Company being an ERISA Affiliate
prior to the Closing Date with respect to any other Person) that has not been
satisfied in full (other than with respect to amounts not yet due). No material
Liability under Title IV of ERISA is reasonably expected to be incurred by any
Group Company (including as a result of such Group Company being an ERISA
Affiliate prior to the Closing Date with respect to any other Person).
(e)    There is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened material
Actions relating to any Employee Benefit Plan. There are no pending or, to the
Company’s knowledge, threatened or anticipated claims (other than claims for
benefits in accordance with the terms of the Employee Benefit Plans) by, on
behalf of or against any of the Employee Benefit Plans or any trusts related
thereto that would reasonably be expected to be material to the business, taken
as a whole. No Group Company or any of its Affiliates, any Employee Benefit Plan
or, to the knowledge of the Company, any trustee, administrator, other
third-party fiduciary and/or party-in-interest thereto, has engaged in any
prohibited transaction (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code) or any breach of fiduciary duty (as determined under ERISA) with
respect to any Employee Benefit Plan that would be reasonably likely to subject
any Group Company to any material Tax or penalty (civil or otherwise) imposed by
ERISA, the Code or other applicable Law.
(f)    With respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, the Company has made
available to Buyer true and complete copies, to the extent applicable, of (i)
the plan document, including any amendments thereto (or written summary of any
unwritten plan), (ii) the most recent summary plan description and any summary
of material modifications, (iii) each trust document, insurance Contract or
other funding vehicle, (iv) the most recent annual report (Form 5500 series),
(v) the most recent actuarial report and financial statements and (vi) the most
recent Internal Revenue Service determination letter. With respect to each
Employee Benefit Plan, the Company has made available to Buyer all material
non-routine correspondence to or from any Governmental Entity in the last three
(3) years (if applicable).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g)    Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in combination with another
event) shall result in (i) any increase or payment in the compensation or
benefits (including severance pay, retention bonus or change-in-control payment)
of any Participant, (ii) the acceleration of payment, funding or vesting of any
rights of any Participant under any Employee Benefit Plan, (iii) forgiveness of
indebtedness, (iv) trigger of any funding obligation under any Employee Benefit
Plan or Governmental Plan or (v) impose any restrictions or limitations on the
right of any of Group Company, Buyer or their respective Affiliates to amend or
terminate any Employee Benefit Plan. No amount that could be received (whether
in cash or property or the vesting of property) by any “disqualified individual”
of any of the Group Companies under any Employee Benefit Plan or otherwise as a
result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
would reasonably be expected to be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999
of the Code. No Employee Benefit Plan provides for a Tax gross-up, make-whole or
similar payment with respect to the taxes imposed under Sections 409A or 4999 of
the Code.
(h)    Each Non-U.S. Benefit Plan has been maintained and administered in
compliance in all material respects with its terms and the requirements of all
applicable Laws.
(i)    All contributions (including all employer contributions and employee
salary reduction contributions), premium payments and other payments required to
be made in respect of any Employee Benefit Plan, under the terms of any such
Employee Benefit Plan, related funding arrangement or in accordance with
applicable Law, have, in all material respects, been paid within the time so
prescribed or have been properly accrued in accordance with GAAP.
(j)    Each Employee Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation
plan” (as such term is defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) is in material
compliance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder, and
none of such Employee Benefit Plans or the completion of the transactions
contemplated hereunder will cause any Participant to be subject to a material
Tax imposed by Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code.
Section 3.12    Environmental Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.12:
(a)    the Group Companies are, and since December 31, 2014 have been, in
material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws;
(b)    without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Group Companies
hold and are, and since December 31, 2014 have been, in material compliance with
all Permits, licenses and other authorizations that are required pursuant to
applicable Environmental Laws; and
(c)    no Group Company (i) is subject to any pending material Action under
Environmental Laws or (ii) has received any currently unresolved written notice
of any material violation of, or material liability (including any
investigatory, corrective or remedial obligation) under, any Environmental Laws.
Section 3.13    Intellectual Property; IT Systems.
(a)    Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13(a), the Group Companies own and have
good and marketable title to, license or, to the Company’s knowledge, otherwise
have an enforceable

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

right to use, free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens, the
material Intellectual Property Rights used in the conduct of the business of the
Group Companies as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted
(collectively, the “IP Rights”). The IP Rights collectively constitute all of
the material Intellectual Property Rights necessary for the conduct of the
business of the Group Companies as currently conducted or as proposed to be
conducted. For clarity, nothing in this Section 3.13(a) is a representation with
respect to the infringement, misappropriation or violation of Intellectual
Property rights owned by third parties, which matters are addressed exclusively
in Section 3.11(b). All IP Rights owned by any of the Group Companies (the
“Owned IP Rights”) are subsisting and, to the Company’s knowledge, valid and
enforceable. Schedule 3.13(a) sets forth a true and complete list of (a) issued
patents and other registrations of Owned IP Rights and (b) patent applications
and other applications for the registration of Owned IP Rights.
(b)    Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13(b), as of the date hereof and since
December 31, 2014, there are no Actions pending against any Group Company that
have been brought by any third party contesting the use or ownership of any
material IP Right owned or used by such Group Company, or alleging that any
Group Company is infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating any
Intellectual Property Rights of a third party, and none of the Group Companies
has received any written notice of such pending or threatened Action. Except as
set forth on Schedule 3.13(b), there are no Actions pending that have been
brought by any Group Company against any third party alleging infringement of
any Owned IP Rights. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13(b) or as would not
reasonably be expected to be material, to the Company’s knowledge, (A) the
conduct of the business of the Group Companies as currently conducted does not
infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property Rights
of any third party and (B) no third party is infringing, misappropriating or
otherwise violating any Owned IP Rights.
(c)    The conduct of the business of the Group Companies is, and has been since
December 31, 2014, in compliance in all material respects with any and all
applicable Laws and privacy policies binding the Group Companies with respect to
protection, transmission, privacy, security, collection, use, access and
disclosure of data relating to one or more individuals that is personally
identifying (“Personal Data”), including rules, policies and procedures
established by the Group Companies and requirements imposed on any Group Company
pursuant to any contract to which such Group Company is a party. Since December
31, 2014, there have been no Actions pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, no material Actions threatened, against any Group Company alleging a
violation of any applicable Law, policy, procedure or contract to which any
Group Company is a party with respect to Personal Data in relation to the
business of the Group Companies. Since December 31, 2014, (i) no Group Company,
to the extent related to the operation of the business of such Group Company,
has been legally required to provide any notices to Governmental Entities, data
owners or individuals in connection with a loss or disclosure of, or
unauthorized access to, Personal Data and (ii) no Group Company, to the extent
related to the operation of the business of the such Group Company, has provided
any such notice, or paid or offered any related compensation, whether or not
legally required. The Group Companies have taken the steps reasonably necessary
(including implementing and monitoring compliance with adequate measures with
respect to technical and physical security) to ensure that Personal Data is
protected against loss and against unauthorized access, use, modification,
disclosure or other misuse. To the Company’s knowledge, there has been no
unauthorized access to or other misuse of such information.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)    The Group Companies have taken all commercially reasonable steps to
protect against malicious code, the purpose of which is to disrupt, damage or
destroy the use or operation of any of the technology systems of the Group
Companies, and the Group Companies have in place commercially reasonable
disaster recovery plans and procedures for such technology systems. Except as
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be
material: (i) the Information Technology used in the conduct of the business of
the Group Companies operates and performs in all respects as required to permit
the Group Companies to conduct the business as currently conducted and (ii) to
the knowledge of the Company, as of the date of this Agreement and since
December 31, 2014, no Person has gained unauthorized access to the Information
Technology of any of the Group Companies.
Section 3.14    Labor Matters.
(a)    No Group Company is a party to any labor, collective bargaining or works
council agreement with respect to any employee, and no such agreement is
currently being negotiated with respect to any employee. There is no, and since
December 31, 2014, there has been no, labor strike, work stoppage, lockout or
other material labor dispute pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened
against any Group Company. There is not pending or, to the Company’s knowledge,
threatened, and there has not been since December 31, 2014, any organized effort
or demand for recognition or certification or attempt to organize employees by
any labor organization. There is no material unfair labor practice charge,
grievance or complaint pending, or to the Company’s knowledge, threatened,
against any Group Company. Except for noncompliance that individually or in the
aggregate would not be material to the Group Companies, taken as a whole, (i) no
Group Company has any Liability with respect to any misclassification of any
individual as an independent contractor rather than as an employee, or as an
“exempt” employee rather than a “non-exempt” employee (within the meaning of the
Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended), or with respect to such
individual’s status as a leased employee and (ii) the business of the Group
Companies is operated in compliance with all applicable employment-related Laws.
(b)    No Group Company has (i) engaged in any location closing or employee
layoff activities during the ninety-day period prior to the date hereof that
would trigger notice, termination pay or similar requirements under the WARN Act
or (ii) incurred any Liability under the WARN Act that remains unpaid or
unsatisfied. To the extent that, after the Closing, Buyer operates the Group
Companies in the same manner operated by Seller and its Affiliates during the
ninety-day period prior to the Closing, Buyer will not incur any Liability under
the WARN Act as a result of any layoffs or other employment terminations made by
Seller or any of its Affiliates during such ninety-day period prior to the
Closing.
(c)    Sellers have provided Buyer a true and complete list as of the date
hereof of all current employees of each Group Company, including each employee’s
(i) name, (ii) job title or function, (iii) direct employer, (iv) job location,
(v) salary or wage rate, (vi) bonus opportunity, commission status or other
incentive compensation paid or payable for 2018, and (vii) bonus, commission or
incentive compensation paid in 2017, and (viii) leave of absence status.
(d)    As of the date hereof, no current employee of any Group Company who has
an annual salary in excess of $200,000 has given written notice of resignation
to any Group Company

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or any of its Affiliates. To the Company’s knowledge, no Participant is in any
material violation of any nondisclosure, nonsolicitation or noncompetition
covenant.
Section 3.15    Insurance. Schedule 3.15 contains a true and complete list of
all policies of fire, liability, workers’ compensation, property, casualty and
other forms of insurance owned or held by the Group Companies as of the date of
this Agreement and the Company has provided true and complete copies of each
such policy to Buyer. All such policies are in full force and effect, all
premiums with respect thereto covering all periods up to and including the
Closing Date have been paid or will have been paid as of the Closing, and no
notice of cancellation or termination has been received by any Group Company
with respect to any such policy. No Group Company is in material breach or
default, and no Group Company has taken any action or failed to take any action
which, with notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a material breach
or default, or permit termination or modification, of any of such policies.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.15, (a) since December 31, 2014, no Group
Company has made any claim under any such policy with respect to which an
insurer has, in a written notice to a Group Company, questioned, denied or
disputed or otherwise reserved its rights with respect to coverage, (b) no
insurer has, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened to cancel any such policy
and (c) neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this
Agreement or the Ancillary Documents to which the Company is (or will at the
Closing be) a party nor the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby will conflict with, or give rise to any right of
termination, cancellation or amendment or result in any material change under,
such policy. There is no pending material claim by any Group Company against any
insurer under any of such policies.
Section 3.16    Tax Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16:
(a)    At all times since the Prior Acquisition Date the Company has been
classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, and at all
times since the Prior Acquisition Date (or, if later, the time of its formation
or acquisition by the Company or a subsidiary thereof), each of the Company’s
U.S. subsidiaries, except for NSM Administration, Inc., and Attorney &
Professional Insurance Services, Inc., has been disregarded as an entity
separate from its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.
(b)    The Group Companies have filed all material Tax Returns required to have
been filed by them and have paid all material Taxes required to be paid by them,
including Taxes which any Group Company is obligated to withhold, in each case,
except for any Taxes being contested in good faith and for which adequate
reserves have been established on the Financial Statements in accordance with
GAAP.
(c)    The unpaid Taxes of the Group Companies (i) did not, as of January 31,
2018, exceed the reserve for Tax liability set forth on the balance sheet as of
such date included on Schedule 3.4(a) and (ii) will not exceed such reserve as
adjusted for operations through the Closing.
(d)    No written claim for material unpaid Taxes has been asserted against any
Group Company and no written notice of audit with respect to a material Tax has
been received by any Group Company. No Group Company is currently the subject of
a Tax audit or examination with respect to a material amount of Taxes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e)    No Group Company has consented to extend the time, or is the beneficiary
of any extension of time, in which any material Tax may be assessed or collected
by any taxing authority, other than any such extensions that are no longer in
effect or that were obtained in the ordinary course of business of the Group
Companies consistent with past practice.
(f)    No material Liens for Taxes exist with respect to any of the assets,
properties or rights of any Group Company except for Permitted Liens.
(g)    No Group Company is or has been a party to any “listed transaction” as
defined in Section 6707A(c)(2) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section
1.6011-4(b)(2).
(h)    No Group Company is a party to any Tax allocation or sharing agreement,
other than an agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business, the
primary of purpose of which does not relate to Taxes.
(i)    No Group Company (i) is or has been a member of an affiliated group
filing a consolidated U.S. federal income Tax Return (other than a group the
common parent of which is a Group Company or, during the AIG Ownership Period,
was American International Group, Inc.), or (ii) since the Prior Acquisition
Date has assumed any material liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than
a Group Company) as a transferee or successor.
(j)    The Company has not made an election to apply the partnership audit rules
enacted by the Budget Act for any taxable year beginning prior to January 1,
2018.
Section 3.17    Brokers. No broker, finder, financial advisor, investment banker
or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s,
investment banker’s fee or commission or similar payment in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or
on behalf of any Group Company.
Section 3.18    Real and Personal Property.
(a)    Owned Real Property. Schedule 3.18(a) sets forth a true and complete list
of all real property and interests in real property owned in fee by any Group
Company (such real property, the “Owned Real Property”) and identifies any
material easements or Contracts relating thereto. A Group Company has good and
marketable title to each Owned Real Property, free and clear of all Liens (other
than Permitted Liens). No Owned Real Property is presently being marketed for
sale or is under contract to be sold. Schedule 3.18(a) also sets forth a true
and complete list of any written or oral leases, subleases, concessions or other
Contracts granting to any Person the right to acquire, lease, use or occupy any
portion of any Owned Real Property (any such lease, sublease, concession or
other Contract, an “Owned Real Property Occupancy Agreement”). Seller has made
available to Buyer a true and complete copy of each Owned Property Occupancy
Agreement. Each Owned Real Property Occupancy Agreement is valid and binding on
the Group Company party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms
(assuming the due authorization and execution of such Owned Real Property
Occupancy Agreement by the other party thereto and subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting
generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to general principles
of equity). Except as set forth on Schedule 3.18(a), each of the Group
Companies, and, to the Company’s knowledge, each of the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

other parties thereto, has performed all material obligations required to be
performed by it under each Owned Real Property Occupancy Agreement, and no Group
Company, or, to the Company’s knowledge, any other party to any Owned Real
Property Occupancy Agreement has violated any provision of, or taken or failed
to take any act which, with or without notice, lapse of time, or both, would
constitute a material default under the provisions of, such Owned Real Property
Occupancy Agreement. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.18(a), (i) there are no
outstanding options or rights of first refusal to purchase all or a portion of
any Owned Real Property and (ii) there are no existing, pending or, to the
Company’s knowledge, threatened condemnation, eminent domain or similar
proceedings affecting any Owned Real Property. The improvements and fixtures on
the Owned Real Property are, in all material respects, in suitable operating
condition for their current use, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
(b)    Leased Real Property. Schedule 3.18(b) sets forth a true and complete
list of all leases (each a “Real Property Lease”) of real property (such real
property, the “Leased Real Property”) pursuant to which any Group Company is a
tenant or a sublessor as of the date of this Agreement. Seller has made
available to Buyer a true and complete copy of each Real Property Lease. A Group
Company has valid leasehold title to each Leased Real Property, free and clear
of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), and each Real Property Lease is valid
and binding on the Group Company party thereto, enforceable in accordance with
its terms (assuming the due authorization and execution of such Real Property
Lease by the other party thereto and subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting generally the
enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to general principles of equity).
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.18(b), each of the Group Companies, and, to
the Company’s knowledge, each of the other parties thereto, has performed all
material obligations required to be performed by it under each Real Property
Lease, and no Group Company, or, to the Company’s knowledge, any other party to
any Real Property Lease has violated any provision of, or taken or failed to
take any act which, with or without notice, lapse of time, or both, would
constitute a material default under the provisions of, such Real Property Lease.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.18(b), (i) there are no written or oral
subleases, concessions or other Contracts granting to any Person other than a
Group Company the right to use or occupy any portion of any Leased Real
Property, (ii) there are no outstanding options or rights of first refusal to
purchase all or a portion of any Leased Real Property and (iii) there are no
existing, pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened condemnation,
eminent domain or similar proceedings affecting any Leased Real Property. To the
extent actually used and occupied by the applicable Group Company, the
improvements and fixtures on the Leased Real Property are, in all material
respects, in suitable operating condition for their current use, ordinary wear
and tear excepted.
(c)    Personal Property. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.18(c), as of the
date of this Agreement, the Group Companies collectively have good title to or
valid leasehold or license interests in all machinery, equipment and other
personal property used by them in the conduct of their businesses as currently
conducted, and none of such properties are subject to any Liens except for Liens
identified on Schedule 3.18(c) and Permitted Liens. All material personal
property of the Group Companies are in good operating condition and repair,
normal wear and tear excepted and are adequate in all material respects to
conduct the operations of the Group Companies as currently conducted. For the
avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.18(c) does not make any representation or
warranty regarding Intellectual Property Rights.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 3.19    Transactions with Affiliates. Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.19, no officer, director, equityholder or any of their respective
Affiliates; including, to the Company’s knowledge, any individual in such
officer’s or director’s immediate family, is a party to any agreements or
Contracts with any Group Company (any such Contract, arrangement, commitment or
transaction, an “Affiliate Agreement”) or has any interest in any property asset
or right used by any Group Company, or any material interest in any Person that
is engaged in business as a lessor, lessee, client, customer (including any
insurance company under any Program Agreement), service provider or supplier of
any Group Company.
Section 3.20    Customers, Carriers and Vendors.
(a)    Schedule 3.20(a) contains a list of (i) the twenty (20) largest clients
or customers, including any insurance companies under any Program Agreement (the
“Material Customers”) of the Group Companies (measured by revenue), (ii) the
twenty (20) largest insurance carriers for which the Group Companies write
policies (measured by revenue) (the “Material Carriers”), and (iii) the twenty
(20) largest Vendors (the “Material Vendors”) of the Group Companies (measured
by aggregate spend), in each case for the twelve (12) months ended December 31,
2017.
(b)    Except as set forth on Schedule 3.20(b), since December 31, 2016, (i) no
Group Company has received any written notice that any such Material Customer,
Material Carrier, or Material Vendor plans to terminate its relationship with or
materially limit or decrease the amount of business done with any Group Company,
(ii) no Material Customer, Material Carrier, or Material Vendor has canceled or
otherwise terminated its relationship with the Group Companies, (iii) no
Material Customer has materially decreased or limited, or requested a material
decrease or limit, in the volume of purchases from or prices paid (in the
aggregate or on a per item basis) to any Group Company, (iv) no Material Vendor
has materially increased, or requested a material increase, in the prices
charged (in the aggregate or on a per item basis) to any Group Company, and (v)
no Material Vendor has materially decreased or limited, or requested a material
decrease or limit, in the volume of sales to any Group Company; provided, that,
the fact that any particular agreement, Contract or commitment with any Material
Customer, Material Carrier, or Material Vendor is scheduled to expire shall not,
in and of itself, constitute notice of any of the foregoing matters.
Section 3.21    Employee Agents; Third-Party Agents; Sales Practices.
(a)    Each employee, officer or agent of any Group Company acting as an
Insurance Producer on behalf of a Group Company (each, an “Employee Agent”), and
each Third-Party Agent, is, and at all times during which such Employee Agent or
Third-Party Agent has acted as an Insurance Producer on behalf of such Group
Company has been, duly registered with and/or licensed by the appropriate
Governmental Entity in jurisdictions requiring such registration and/or license
where such Employee Agent conducts or has conducted business as an Insurance
Producer on behalf of such Group Company. No Employee Agent or Third-Party Agent
is in material violation of any Law applicable to the brokering, writing, sale,
marketing, management or production of the business of the Group Companies.
Since December 31, 2014, none of the Employee Agents and none of the Third-Party
Agents have finally been denied any application for any license, registration or
other Governmental Entity authorization necessary to act as an Insurance
Producer on behalf of the Group Companies. There has not been a proceeding and
there is no proceeding pending or, to

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Company’s knowledge, threatened in writing to suspend, revoke or limit any
such license or registration. No Insurance Producer, nor any Affiliate of any
Insurance Producer, has any right to receive any payment based on the
profitability, loss ratio, expense ratio, underwriting experience or financial
performance of any of the Insurance Contracts. There are no Actions pending or,
to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against any of the Group Companies with
respect to the sale or marketing of any Insurance Contracts. Each Third-Party
Agent was appointed by a Group Company in compliance with applicable Law and all
processes and procedures used in making inquiries with respect of such Person,
were undertaken in material compliance with applicable Law, except as would not
be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material and
adverse effect on the business or operations of any Group Company.
(b)    Each Group Company has implemented procedures and programs which are
reasonably designed to provide assurance that its respective Employee Agents are
in material compliance with all applicable Laws. There has not been a material
event of non-compliance with such compliance program and procedures referred to
in the preceding sentence by any Employee Agent that is an officer of a Group
Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, any Employee Agent that is an
employee of a Group Company.
(c)    Schedule 3.21(c) sets forth a true and complete list of the top 20
Third-Party Agents of the Group Companies based on aggregate dollar amount of
production for the twelve (12) month period ending December 31, 2017
(collectively, the “Top Producers”). No Top Producer has (A) materially reduced
the amount of business it transacts with the Group Companies or (B) given notice
to any Group Company in writing that it intends to materially reduce the amount
of business it transacts with the Group Companies.
Section 3.22    Program Agreement Breaches. No insurance company has given or,
to the Company’s knowledge, threatened to give any notice that any breach or
default on the part of a Group Company with respect to performance or payment
under any Program Agreement exists (or, with the giving of notice or the passage
of time or both, would exist), other than immaterial matters that have been
resolved.
Section 3.23    Contingent and Incentive-Based Commissions. No Group Company is
a party to any market services agreement, placement services agreement,
incentive-based commission or similar agreement. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.23, all material payments due to the Group Companies with respect to the
business of any of the Group Companies are described in written Contracts and
forms or examples of each variant of such Contract have been made available to
Buyer. To the knowledge of the Company, no director, officer, employee or agent
of any Group Company receives any material payments for his or her personal
account from any customer or client of any Group Company in connection with the
business of any Group Company. Except as would not have a material and adverse
effect on the business or operations of any Group Company, each Group Company
has, to the extent required by Law, made all disclosures to, and obtained all
consents from, purchasers of insurance concerning such Group Company’s
compensation relative to such purchaser’s insurance, the source and method of
payment of such compensation and any other compensation-related matter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 3.24    No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.24, there are no Liabilities or obligations of any Group Company of any kind
that would be required to be reflected on a balance sheet (or in the notes
thereto) prepared in accordance with GAAP, other than (i) Liabilities and
obligations provided for or reflected in the Financial Statements, and (ii)
Liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business (other
than in connection with or arising from any breach of any agreement) consistent
with past practice since December 31, 2016, that would not, or would not be
reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, be material to such
Group Company.
Section 3.25    EXCLUSIVITY OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. NOTWITHSTANDING
THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO BUYER OR ITS RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION OR OTHER INFORMATION
(INCLUDING ANY FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS OR OTHER SUPPLEMENTAL DATA), EXCEPT AS
OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 3, ANY CERTIFICATE OR OTHER
INSTRUMENT DELIVERED BY THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE ANCILLARY
DOCUMENTS, THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
ANY KIND OR NATURE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE CONDITION, VALUE OR QUALITY OF
THE UNITS OR BUSINESSES OR ASSETS OF ANY OF THE GROUP COMPANIES, AND THE COMPANY
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, USAGE,
SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ASSETS,
ANY PART THEREOF, THE WORKMANSHIP THEREOF, AND THE ABSENCE OF ANY DEFECTS
THEREIN, WHETHER LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT SUCH ASSETS ARE
BEING ACQUIRED “AS IS, WHERE IS” ON THE CLOSING DATE, AND IN THEIR PRESENT
CONDITION, AND BUYER SHALL RELY ON ITS OWN EXAMINATION AND INVESTIGATION THEREOF
AS WELL AS THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY AND THE SELLERS,
RESPECTIVELY, SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 3 AND ARTICLE 4, RESPECTIVELY, ANY
CERTIFICATE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT DELIVERED BY THEM PURSUANT HERETO OR THE
ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS.
ARTICLE 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE SELLERS
Each Seller, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to Buyer,
as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, as follows:
Section 4.1    Organization. Such Seller, if other than a natural person, is a
limited liability company or other entity that is duly organized or
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the
jurisdiction of its formation and has all requisite power and authority to own,
lease and operate its properties and to carry on its businesses as now being
conducted, except where the failure to have such power or authority would not

relating to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, none of the exclusions set forth in the definition of

adverse effect” in this Section 6.3(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, none of the Group Companies shall be required to, make or
agree to any payments or other consideration to any third party, or agree to
modify the terms of any Contract, waive any right or grant any concession, in
each case, to obtain any Consent or release.
(c)    Each of the Sellers, Buyer and the Company shall (i) permit the other
party to review and consider in good faith the other party’s reasonable comments
in any communication to be given by it to any Governmental Entity with respect

required to be obtained from, such Governmental Entity in connection with
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) consult with the other
party in advance of and not participate in any meeting or discussion relating to

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)    In the event that a Governmental Entity issues a request for additional
information or documentary material pursuant to the HSR Act (the “Second
Request”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
then each Seller (if applicable to it), Buyer and the Company shall make (or

consolidating with, or by purchasing a portion of the assets of or equity in, or
by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association
or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or
agree to acquire any assets or equity interests, if the entering into of a
definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such acquisition,
merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to prevent the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(f)    Each of the Sellers and the Company shall not make any filings,
applications or notices to any Governmental Entity in connection with the
acquisition of, or any other transaction relating to, any Acquired Entity
without Buyer’s prior written consent.

press release or make any such public statement without the advance approval of
the other party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

believes, based on advice of counsel, is necessary or advisable in connection
with any requirement of Law or regulation, it being understood and agreed that
each Party shall provide the other Parties with copies of any such announcement
in advance of such issuance; provided, further, that each Party may make
internal announcements to their respective employees that are not inconsistent
in any material respects with the Parties’ prior public disclosures regarding
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties agree that the
initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement following execution of this Agreement shall be in the form
agreed to by Buyer, the Seller Representative and AIG. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 6.4 shall not apply to any press release or other public
statement made by Buyer, the Company, the Seller Representative, or any Seller
(a) which is consistent with the terms of this Agreement and does not contain
any information relating to the Company, any Seller or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement that has not been previously announced or made
public in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.4 or (b) is made in the
ordinary course of business and does not relate to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Nothing herein shall prevent a
Seller or any of its Affiliates which is a private equity or other investment
fund from making customary disclosures (which are made subject to customary
confidentiality obligations), including the key economic terms of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the return realized as a result
thereof, to its current or prospective investors in connection with its normal
fundraising and reporting activities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 6.5    Employee Matters.
(a)    For at least one (1) year following the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide
each employee of each Group Company who continues to be employed by a Group
Company with (i) salary or hourly wage rate, cash incentive compensation
opportunity and other cash compensation that is not less than as provided to
such employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) benefits (excluding
equity arrangements, defined benefit arrangements, and retiree health and
welfare arrangements, if any) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate
as those provided by the Group Companies as of the Closing Date and (iii)
severance benefits that are consistent with the Group Companies’ past custom and
practice as described on Schedule 6.5, except as Buyer and any employee of any
Group Company may otherwise agree in writing.
(b)    Buyer further agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall,
and shall cause each Group Company to, grant all of its employees credit for any
service with such Group Company earned prior to the Closing Date (i) for
eligibility and vesting purposes and (ii) for purposes of vacation accrual and
severance benefit determinations (other than for retiree health or welfare or
defined benefit pension accruals) under any benefit or compensation plan,
program, policy, agreement or arrangement that may be established or maintained
by Buyer or a Group Company or any of their Affiliates on or after the Closing
Date (the “New Plans”), to the same extent that such service was recognized by
such Group Company prior to the Closing (or predecessor employer to the extent
that such Group Company provides past service credit), except to the extent such
service credit would result in any duplication of benefits. In addition, Buyer
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) cause to be waived all
pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements and similar
limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability
requirements under any New Plans to the extent waived or satisfied by an
employee or his or her dependents under any Employee Benefit Plan as of the
Closing Date and (B) cause any deductible, co-insurance and covered
out-of-pocket expenses paid on or before the Closing Date by any employee (or
covered dependent thereof) of any Group Company to be taken into account for
purposes of satisfying the corresponding deductible, co-insurance and maximum
out-of-pocket provisions after the Closing Date under any applicable New Plan in
the year of initial participation. Buyer agrees that Buyer and the Group
Companies (following the Closing) shall be solely responsible for satisfying the
continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code for all
individuals who are “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as such term is defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9.
(c)    Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, or shall cause one or more of
its Subsidiaries to, (i) obtain a waiver from each Person who is a “disqualified
individual” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) of that portion of any
payments or economic benefits received or payable to such Person that could
constitute “parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G(b) of the Code) (the
“Waived 280G Benefits”), and (ii) solicit the approval of its shareholders of
any Waived 280G Benefits, in a manner that complies with Sections
280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) and 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder. The Company shall forward to Buyer at least five (5) days prior to
the submission to shareholders entitled to vote on such matters copies of all
documents prepared by the Company in connection with this Section 6.5(c) for
Buyer’s review and comment, and the Company shall consider in good faith such
comments of Buyer. Prior to Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer evidence
of the results of such vote. Such shareholder approval shall establish the
disqualified individual’s right to receive or retain the Waived 280G

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Payments, such that if such shareholder approval is not obtained, no portion of
the Waived 280G Payments shall be paid, payable, received or retained.
(d)    Nothing contained herein, express or implied, is intended to confer upon
any employee of any Group Company any right to continued employment for any
period or continued receipt of any specific employee benefit, or shall
constitute an amendment to or any other modification of any New Plan, Employee
Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan of Buyer and its Affiliates, or
creation of any employee benefit plan. Nothing in this Section 6.5, express or
implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (including any current or former
employee of any Group Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates) any
third party beneficiary or other rights or remedies.
Section 6.6    Indemnification and Exculpation of Directors, Officers and
Employees; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance; Release.
(a)    Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification or exculpation now
existing in favor of the current and former directors, officers, employees and
agents of each Seller and each Group Company, as provided in any Group Company’s
Governing Documents or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof with respect to
any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, shall survive the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until
the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date and that the Group Companies
will perform and discharge the Group Companies’ obligations to provide such
indemnity and exculpation. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law,
such indemnification shall be mandatory rather than permissive, and the Group
Companies shall advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as
provided in such Group Company’s Governing Documents or other applicable
agreements. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation
provisions of the Group Companies’ Governing Documents shall not be amended,
repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing Date in any manner that would
adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing
Date or at any time prior to the Closing Date, were directors, officers,
employees or agents of any Group Company, unless such modification is required
by applicable Law.
(b)    Contemporaneously with the Closing, the Company shall, at Buyer’s cost
and expense, purchase a “tail” policy arranged by the Company prior to the
Closing, providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the
benefit of those Persons who are covered by any Group Company’s directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Closing
with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing that is at least equal to
the coverage provided under the Group Companies’ current directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance policies, and Buyer shall cause the Company to
maintain such policy in effect, without any lapse in coverage, for a period of
six (6) years following the Closing Date; provided, that the premium for such
“tail” policy shall not be more than $150,000; provided, that the Company may
substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and
conditions which are no less advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof so long
as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage with respect
to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date.
(c)    The current and former directors, officers, employees and agents of each
Group Company entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation
and insurance set forth in this Section 6.6 are intended to be third party
beneficiaries of this Section 6.6. This Section

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.6 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Buyer and the
Group Companies.
(d)    If Buyer, the Group Companies or any of their successors or assigns
(i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the
continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or
(ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets
to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper
provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the Group
Companies shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6.
(e)    Release:
(i)    Effective upon the Closing, each Seller, other than AIG, on behalf of
itself and each of its Affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively, the
“Releasing Parties”), shall be deemed to have remised, released and forever
discharged each Group Company and each of the current or former officers,
directors, managers, employees and agents of the Group Companies (collectively,
the “Released Parties”) of and from any and all claims which the Releasing
Parties, or any of them, now have, ever had, or at the Closing may have, or
hereafter can, shall or may have, against the Released Parties, or any of them,
for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, from the
beginning of time through the Closing Date, including any such claims related to
or in connection with any grant of Profits Interests (or any promise or
commitment to grant such Profits Interests) or under the Company Existing LLC
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.6(e) shall
be deemed to constitute a release by any Seller of any right by such Seller
under ordinary course employment arrangements, which, for the avoidance of
doubt, includes all employment agreements set forth on Schedule 3.11(b), this
Agreement and any of the Ancillary Documents, but, in each case, only to the
extent set forth herein or therein. As of the Closing Date, each Seller (other
than AIG), on behalf of each of the applicable Releasing Parties, expressly
acknowledges that it has had, or has had and waived, the opportunity to be
advised by independent legal counsel.
(ii)    Effective upon the Closing, AIG, on behalf of itself and each of its
Affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively, the “AIG Releasing Parties”),
shall be deemed to have remised, released and forever discharged, the Released
Parties of and from any and all claims which the AIG Releasing Parties, or any
of them, now have, ever had, or at the Closing may have, or hereafter can, shall
or may have, against the Released Parties in such AIG Releasing Party’s capacity
as a direct or indirect equityholder of any Group Company (but not in any other
capacity, including in any such AIG Releasing Party’s role as a commercial
partner) from the beginning of time through the Closing Date, including any such
claims under the Company Existing LLC Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the
foregoing release shall not include any claims against any of the Released
Parties (other than any Group Company) under the Membership Interest Purchase
Agreement for the Prior Acquisition or the Membership Interest Purchase
Agreement for the 2015 acquisition of the Company by an Affiliate of AIG. AIG
hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, those employees of
the AIG Releasing Parties who regularly deal with the Group Companies have no
knowledge, without any duty of inquiry, of any claim that any AIG

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Releasing Party has against any Group Company for breach or default under any
commercial arrangements between an AIG Releasing Party and a Group Company.
Section 6.7    Exclusive Dealing. During the period from the date of this
Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this
Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Sellers shall not, nor shall the
Sellers (other than AIG) permit any Group Company or their respective officers,
directors, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors,
attorneys, accountants, or other agents to, nor shall AIG permit any of its
officers, directors, employees, representatives, consultants, financial
advisors, attorneys, accountants or other agents to, solicit, engage in
discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to or enter into
any agreement with any Person (other than Buyer and/or its respective
Affiliates) concerning any sale of any of the Company’s equity securities, any
merger of the Company, sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company or
similar transaction involving the Group Companies, other than assets sold in the
ordinary course of business (each such acquisition transaction, an “Acquisition
Transaction”); provided, however, that Buyer hereby acknowledges that prior to
the date of this Agreement, one or more of the Sellers have provided information
relating to the Group Companies and has afforded access to, and engaged in
discussions with, other Persons in connection with a proposed Acquisition
Transaction and that such information, access and discussions could reasonably
enable another Person to form a basis for an Acquisition Transaction without any
breach by the Company of this Section 6.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Sellers may respond to any unsolicited proposal regarding an Acquisition
Transaction by indicating that such Seller is subject to an exclusivity
agreement and is unable to provide any information related to the Group
Companies or entertain any proposals or offers or engage in any negotiations or
discussions concerning an Acquisition Transaction for as long as this Agreement
remains in effect. The Sellers (to the extent aware thereof) shall notify the
Buyer as soon as practicable of any such unsolicited proposal.
Section 6.8    Documents and Information. After the Closing Date, Buyer and the
Group Companies shall, until the earlier of the expiration of the time period
required by Buyer’s bona fide document retention policy as in effect as of the
date of this Agreement and the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date,
retain all books, records and other documents pertaining to the business of the
Group Companies in existence on the Closing Date and make the same available for
inspection and copying by the Seller Representative or its representatives (at
the expense of the Seller or Sellers requesting such information) during normal
business hours of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, upon
reasonable request and upon reasonable advance notice.
Section 6.9    Contact with Customers, Suppliers and Other Business Relations.
During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the
Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms,
except as permitted under Section 6.2, Buyer hereby agrees that it is not
authorized to and shall not (and shall not permit any of its employees, agents,
representatives or Affiliates to) contact any employee (excluding executive
officers), customer, supplier, distributor or other material business relation
of any Group Company regarding any Group Company, its business or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of the
Company.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 6.10    Notification. The Company and the Sellers (to the extent aware
thereof) shall promptly notify (such notification, a “Notice”) Buyer of:
(a)    any change or event that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise
result in any representation or warranty of the Company or Sellers under this
Agreement being inaccurate in any material respect;
(b)    any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the
Consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent or
materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement;
(c)    any notice or other communication from any Person or Governmental Entity
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that would
reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
(d)    any Action commenced or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in
writing against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting any Group
Company or its business that relates to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
Each of the Company and the Sellers acknowledges that Buyer does not and will
not waive any right it may have under this Agreement as a result of any such
Notice.
Section 6.11    Affiliate Agreements. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Group
Companies shall cause all Affiliate Agreements (other than the Affiliate
Agreements set forth on Schedule 6.11 and other than any Affiliate Agreement to
which AIG or any of its Affiliates is a party, which shall remain in effect,
except for the Profit Sharing Agreement, which shall be terminated) to be
terminated and canceled without any further Liability to, or obligation of, any
Group Company, from and after the Closing. AIG and NSMIG shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause NSMIG to, enter into a profit sharing agreement following the Closing
in substantially the form previously approved by AIG, the Company and Buyer by
email exchange on March 29, 2018 (the “Replacement Profit Sharing Agreement”) to
replace the Profit Sharing Agreement terminated pursuant to this Section 6.11.
For the avoidance of doubt, it is not a condition to Closing that the
Replacement Profit Sharing Agreement be entered into on or prior to the Closing
Date.
Section 6.12    Non-Solicitation.
(a)    For a period of one (1) year from the Closing, each Seller (other than
AIG) shall not, and shall direct each of its Affiliates not to, solicit or
recruit for employment or hire any employee of any Group Company set forth on
Schedule 6.12 (each, a “Covered Employee”), except for (i) general solicitations
of employment by any Seller or its Affiliates (including solicitations through
employee search firms or similar agents) not specifically directed towards
Covered Employees and not resulting in the hiring of any such Covered Employee,
and (ii) hiring any Covered Employee whose employment was terminated by the
Group Companies at least six (6) months prior to the date of hire by such Seller
or Affiliate thereof.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    For a period of one (1) year from the Closing, (i) each Seller (other
than NSM Holdings and AIG) shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not
to, and (ii) AIG shall cause each AIG Restricted Person not to, in each case,
solicit, influence, entice or encourage any person who at such time is an
insurance company under a Program Agreement with any Group Company to cease or
curtail its relationship with any Group Company; provided, however, that the
placement of general advertisements that are not directly targeted at such
insurance companies shall not violate this clause (b), and provided, further,
that solely with respect to any AIG Restricted Person, this clause (b) shall not
apply to any insurance company currently writing policies with respect to any
“Renewal Business”, as such term is defined in the RRA Agreement, for so long as
the RRA Agreement remains in effect with respect to such Renewal Business.
(c)    If any provision contained in this Section 6.12 shall for any reason be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this
Section 6.12, but this Section 6.12 shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the
intention of the Parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained
herein is held to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable
Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such
provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the
extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under applicable Law, a
court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this
Section 6.12 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable time
period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall
be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law. Each Seller acknowledges
that Buyer and the Company would be irreparably harmed by any breach of this
Section 6.12 and that there would be no adequate remedy at Law or in damages to
compensate Buyer and the Company for any such breach. Each Seller agrees that
Buyer and the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief requiring specific
performance by such Seller of its respective obligations under this Section
6.12, and such Seller, as applicable, consents to the entry thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely for purposes of this Section 6.12, the
Affiliates of NSM Holdings shall be deemed to be limited to ABRY Partners II,
LLC, ABRY Partners VIII, L.P., ABRY Investment Partnership, L.P. and ABRY
Partners VIII Co-Investment Fund, L.P..

Section 6.13    Tax Matters.
(a)    For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, the
purchase and sale of the Purchased Units hereunder shall be treated as the
purchase and sale of interests in a partnership; the Company will not cease to
be taxable as a partnership as a result of the transactions contemplated
hereunder; and the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the assets of the
Company in accordance with the principles set forth on Exhibit D. The Parties
shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, file all Tax Returns in a manner
consistent with the tax treatment set forth in the preceding sentence and
Exhibit D, except as required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section
1313(a) of the Code (or similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law).
The Parties will cause the Company to make an election under Section 754 of the
Code (and any similar election under any provision of any other Tax Law) for the
taxable period that includes the Closing Date unless such an election is already
in effect for such taxable period.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and real property
transfer or gains Taxes, stamp Taxes, excise Taxes and other similar Taxes with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively,
“Transfer Taxes”) will be borne one hundred percent (100%) by Buyer. Any Tax
Return with respect to Transfer Taxes will be filed by the party required to
file the Tax Return under applicable Law. Buyer, the Sellers and the Seller
Representative will cooperate in timely making all filings, Tax Returns, reports
and forms as necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of all
applicable Laws in connection with the payment of such Transfer Taxes and will
each use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of any such
Transfer Taxes.
(c)    The Seller Representative will prepare or cause to be prepared, and file
or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns (including Schedules K-1) for the Group
Companies relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than any Straddle
Period), and Buyer will cooperate, to the extent required, in preparing and
filing such Tax Returns. At least ten days prior to the due date for filing any
such Tax Return, the Seller Representative will deliver a draft of such Tax
Return to Buyer and AIG and shall consider in good faith any comments provided
by Buyer and AIG on such Tax Return (provided that Buyer shall have a reasonable
opportunity to review and comment on any comments of AIG). Buyer will prepare or
cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns (including
Schedules K-1) for the Group Companies relating to any Straddle Period, and the
Sellers and Seller Representative will cooperate, to the extent required, in
preparing and filing such Tax Returns. All Tax Returns relating to a Pre-Closing
Tax Period (including a Straddle Period) shall be prepared in a manner
consistent with the Group Companies’ past practice, unless otherwise required by
applicable Law. Any Tax deductions arising from the payment of the Closing
Indebtedness, Seller Expenses (including the Management Bonus Amount) and any
other payments made by or on behalf of the Group Companies in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any transaction
bonuses, fees and expenses, shall (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) be
allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and, for the avoidance of doubt, an
amount equal to the Management Bonus Amount (and the employer’s share of any
payroll Taxes attributable thereto) shall be treated as a deductible fee paid by
the Company to NSM Administration, Inc., and subsequently paid to the relevant
employee or remitted to the relevant taxing authority, as the case may be, with
respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (to the extent permitted by applicable
Law). At least twenty (20) days prior to the due date for filing any Tax Return
prepared by Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.13(c), Buyer will deliver a draft
of such Tax Return to the Seller Representative for the Seller Representative’s
review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld). Buyer will not, and will
not cause or permit any of its Affiliates or any Group Company to, (i) file,
amend or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election relating to a Group
Company or (ii) agree to the waiver of or any extension of the statute of
limitations, in each case with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including
a Straddle Period) without the written consent of the Seller Representative (not
to be unreasonably withheld), unless otherwise required by applicable law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to cause the Company to
make an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code, as enacted by the Budget
Act, with respect to a Tax year beginning on or after January 1, 2018, and
ending after the Closing Date, provided, however, that the parties hereto shall
in any case use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any applicable
reductions in any asserted underpayment or deficiency relating to the Sellers’
interests in the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, including any adjustments
under Section 6225(c) of the Code, as enacted by the Budget Act) and provided,
further, that the Company shall

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

not make such an election in the event the Seller Representative objects to the
making of such election and the Sellers agree to severally indemnify the Company
in accordance with their Percentage Allocations for any Taxes arising as a
result of not making such election such that the total amount of such indemnity
is equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Taxes (without duplication of
Section 9.2). Buyer will not take any action on the Closing Date after the
Closing with respect to the Group Companies outside the ordinary course of
business.
(d)    After the Closing, Buyer will notify the Seller Representative and AIG of
any pending U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax audit or examination or
notice of deficiency or other adjustment, assessment, or redetermination
relating to Taxes or Tax Returns of any Group Company for a Pre-Closing Tax
Period (each a “Seller Tax Contest”). The Seller Representative will control, at
its own expense, any Seller Tax Contest relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period
(other than any Straddle Period); provided, however, that (1) Buyer’s consent
(not to be unreasonably withheld) will be required for any settlement by the
Seller Representative to the extent such settlement could reasonably be expected
to affect any Tax liability of or borne by Buyer and (2) AIG’s consent (not to
be unreasonably withheld) will be required for settlement by the Seller
Representative to the extent such settlement relates to any Tax period (or any
portion thereof) beginning on or after March 31, 2015, and ending on or before
the Prior Acquisition Date. Buyer will control, at its own expense, any other
Seller Tax Contests; provided, however, that (i) Seller Representative will have
the right, at its own expense, directly or through its designated
representatives, to participate fully in such Seller Tax Contest, including to
review in advance and reasonably comment upon submissions made in the course of
such Seller Tax Contest and to attend any in-person or telephonic meetings, and
(ii) Seller Representative’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, and
subject to Section 11.9(d) provided that no Seller shall unreasonably refuse to
permit the Seller Representative to consent if Section 11.9(d) is applicable)
will be required for any settlement by Buyer to the extent such settlement could
reasonably be expected to affect any Tax liability of or borne by the Sellers.
(e)    No election under Section 338 or Section 336 of the Code will be filed
with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(f)    Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in connection
with the preparation of Tax Returns and the defense of any Tax audits, and such
cooperation shall include the retention of and (upon the other Party’s request)
the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such matters
and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder;
provided that the requesting Party shall reimburse the providing Party for any
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such providing Party pursuant to
this Section 6.13(f). Any information shared pursuant to this Section 6.13(f)
shall be treated as “Confidential Information” pursuant to the terms of the
Confidentiality Agreement, the provisions of which are by this reference hereby
incorporated herein, provided, however, that each Party shall be entitled to
disclose such information to the extent required in connection with its
obligations under applicable Law.
Section 6.14    Residency Forms. No later than ten (10) days prior to Closing,
each Seller will deliver to Buyer a certificate in the form of Exhibit E (each a
“Residency Form”); provided, however, that the Parties will cooperate to revise
such form certificate to comply with any

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

requirements under any Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to Section
1446(f) prior to Closing.

8.1, this entire Agreement shall forthwith become void (and there shall be no
liability or obligation on the part of Buyer, the Sellers or the Company or
their respective officers, directors or equityholders) with the exception of
(a) the provisions of the final sentence of Section 6.2, this Section 8.2, and
Article 11, each of which provisions shall survive such termination and remain
valid and binding obligations of the Parties, and (b) any liability of Buyer for
any breach of or failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement
(including any failure by Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement if and when it is obligated to do so hereunder) prior to such
termination, in which case and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Sellers and the Company shall be entitled to all remedies
available at Law or in equity. Nothing herein shall limit or prevent any Party
from exercising any rights or remedies it may have under Section 11.15.

pursuant to Section 8.1(f), then Buyer shall pay to the Sellers in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Percentages a termination fee of $15,500,000 in
cash (the “Termination Fee”). Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, the
Termination Fee, if applicable, to the Sellers with such payment amount
allocated among the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata

wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after
the termination of this Agreement under the circumstances described in the first
sentence of this Section 8.2(b) to the accounts specified by the Sellers or (if
not so specified by a Seller) the Seller Representative promptly following such

the payment of the Termination Fee and the fees and expenses pursuant to this
Section 8.2; provided that under no circumstances shall the Sellers be permitted
or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance resulting in the
Closing and of payment of the Termination Fee. The Termination Fee shall be
considered liquidated damages (and not a penalty) for any and all losses or
damages suffered or incurred by the Sellers or any other Person in connection
with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and the
abandonment or termination thereof) or any other matter forming the basis for
such termination, and no Person shall have any rights or claims against any of
Buyer and any of its respective Affiliates, and each of their respective former,
current and future directors, officers, employees, advisors, managers, partners,
members, equityholders, agents, and other representatives, successors and
assigns (each, a “Buyer Related Party”) relating to this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment or termination thereof),
or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in
connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort
or otherwise, and neither Buyer nor any Buyer Related Party shall have any
further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any of the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment or termination
thereof) or in respect of any oral representations made or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith. Upon payment of the
Termination Fee (i) neither the Company nor any of the Company’s Affiliates
shall be entitled to bring or maintain any Action against any Buyer Related
Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary
Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or the
abandonment or termination thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such
termination and (ii) the Company shall cause any Action pending in connection
with this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby (or the abandonment or termination thereof), to
the extent maintained by the Company against any Buyer Related Party, to be
dismissed with prejudice promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business
Days after the payment of the Termination Fee. The Company shall not be entitled
to collect the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. The Parties
acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral
part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these
agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement.
(c)    If Buyer fails promptly to pay, or cause to be paid, the Termination Fee
if and when payable pursuant to Section 8.2(b), and, in order to obtain such
payment, any Seller commences an Action that results in a judgment against Buyer
or Parent for the Termination Fee, Buyer or Parent, as applicable, shall pay to
such Seller, in addition to the Termination Fee, all out-of-pocket fees, costs
and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by such Seller in
connection with any such Action.
Section 8.3    Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a
written agreement executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of Buyer
and the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) (subject to Section
11.7 and Section 11.9(d), which in the circumstances described therein would
require one or more Sellers to sign). 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 8.3 shall be void.
Section 8.4    Extension; Waiver. Subject to Section 8.1(d), at any time prior
to the Closing, the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers and the
Company) may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations
or other acts of Buyer contained herein, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties of Buyer contained herein or in any document,
certificate or writing delivered by Buyer pursuant hereto or (c) waive
compliance by Buyer with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein.
Subject to Section 8.1(d), at any time prior to the Closing, Buyer may
(i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts
of the Company or the Sellers contained herein, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in
the representations and warranties of the Company and the Sellers contained
herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered by the Company or
Sellers pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance by the Company and the Sellers
with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the
part of any Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set
forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any
Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of
such rights.

ARTICLE 9
INDEMNIFICATION

contained in this Agreement (whether or not contained in Articles 3 or 4), any

Seller Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing indefinitely. The
representations and warranties of the Group Companies set forth in Section 3.16
(Tax Matters) shall survive until the earlier of (x) the three-year anniversary
of the Closing and (y) the expiration of the R&W Insurance for applicable Tax
matters.
(b)    The representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement
(whether or not contained in Article 5), other than the representations and

(c)    The respective covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Group

force and effect. The respective covenants, agreements and other obligations of
the Group Companies, the Sellers and Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any
Ancillary Document required to be performed or complied with following the
Closing shall survive the Closing Date indefinitely or for such lesser period of
time as may be specified herein or therein, but not to exceed thirty (30) days
following the applicable statute of limitations in the event of a breach of such
covenant or other agreement, after which applicable date they shall terminate
and be of no force and effect.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no claims may be
asserted pursuant to Section 9.2 after the expiration of the survival period
applicable to such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other
obligation as specified in this Section 9.1; provided, that the good faith
written assertion with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time)
(a “Claims Notice”) prior to expiration of the applicable survival period of any
such claim by a party for indemnification hereunder shall be valid and timely
with respect to the breach or alleged breach of any such specific representation
or warranty.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e)    It is the intention of the Parties that the survival periods and
termination dates set forth in this Article 9 supersede any statute of
limitation that would otherwise be applicable to such representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements and other obligations or claims with respect
thereto.
Section 9.2    General Indemnification.
(a)    From and after the Closing, subject to the limitations and other
provisions set forth in this Article 9, each Seller shall indemnify, defend and
hold Buyer, its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) and each of their
respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, attorneys
accountants, representatives, successors, and permitted assigns (each, a “Buyer
Indemnitee” and together, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any
damages, losses, Liabilities, obligations, Taxes, claims of any kind, interest
or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (“Loss”), in
each case actually incurred, suffered by or asserted against a Buyer Indemnitee,
to the extent directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from:
(i)    any misrepresentation in or breach or inaccuracy of (A) such Seller’s
Individual Seller Fundamental Representations; (B) Company Fundamental
Representations, (C) the representations and warranties of such Seller (other
than such Seller’s Individual Seller Fundamental Representations) set forth in
this Agreement, or (D) the representations and warranties of the Company (other

Ancillary Document;
(ii)    any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other
obligation of such Seller set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document;
(iii)    any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other
obligation of the Company set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document;
or
(iv)    any Pre-Closing Taxes.
(b)    The obligation to provide indemnification under Section 9.2(a) other than
with respect to Section 9.2(a)(i)(A), Section 9.2(a)(i)(C) and Section
9.2(a)(ii), shall be pro rata in accordance with each Seller’s Percentage
Allocation (such that the total amount of such indemnity is equal to 100% of the
applicable Losses but, other than with respect to Fraud (but subject to the last
sentence of Section 9.5 in respect of AIG), recovery by Buyer shall not in any
event exceed the Final Purchase Price). The obligation to provide
indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i)(A), Section 9.2(a)(i)(C) and
Section 9.2(a)(ii) shall be borne solely by the applicable Seller to whom such
representation or obligation, as applicable, relates. Each Seller’s obligation
to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be several and not
joint.
(c)    From and after the Closing, subject to the limitations and other
provisions set forth in this Article 9, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold
the Sellers, their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors,
employees, stockholders, agents, attorneys accountants, representatives,
successors, and permitted assigns (each, a “Seller Indemnitee” and together, the
“Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from any Loss incurred, suffered by or asserted
against a Seller Indemnitee, to the extent directly or indirectly arising out of
or resulting from:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i)    any misrepresentation in or breach or inaccuracy of (A) Buyer Fundamental
Representations or (B) the other representations and warranties of Buyer set
forth in this Agreement; or
(ii)    any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other
obligation of Buyer set forth in this Agreement.
(d)    Nothing in this Article 9 shall affect or limit the ability of Buyer to
recover under the R&W Insurance for any matters covered thereunder.
Section 9.3    Third Party Claims.
(a)    If a claim, action, suit or proceeding by a third party (a “Third Party
Claim”) is made against any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to
Section 9.2 hereof (an “Indemnified Party”), and if such Indemnified Party
intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Article 9, such
Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days
after receiving notice of the Third-Party Claim) notify the Party obligated to
indemnify such Indemnified Party (or, in the case of a Buyer Indemnitee seeking
indemnification, such Buyer Indemnitee shall promptly notify Buyer (if such
Buyer Indemnitee is not Buyer), and Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller
Representative, in each case and in any event within ten (10) Business Days
after receiving notice of the Third-Party Claim) (such notified party including,
in the case of the Seller Representative, any Sellers that are so obligated, the
“Responsible Party”) of such Third Party Claim; provided, that the failure to so
notify shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder,
except to the extent that the Responsible Party is actually and materially
prejudiced thereby. The Responsible Party shall have thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice to assume the conduct and control, through counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Responsible
Party, of the settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim, and the
Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided,
that the Responsible Party shall be reasonably creditworthy with respect to the
full amount of the Losses reasonably expected to be incurred by any Indemnified
Party in connection with such Third Party Claim unless the amount of such Losses
is less than the Indemnity Escrow Funds available at such time; provided,
further, that the Responsible Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to
participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such
Indemnified Party (it being understood that the fees, costs and expenses of such
counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party); provided, further, that
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Responsible Party shall not
have the right to assume control of such defense, if the claim for which the
Responsible Party seeks to assume control (i) is one in which the Responsible
Party is also a party and for which joint representation would be inappropriate
or there may be one or more legal defenses or counterclaims available to the
Indemnified Party that are materially different from or materially additional to
those available to the Responsible Party, in the reasonable judgment of the
Indemnified Party after consulting with outside counsel or (ii) the Third Party
Claim seeks nonmonetary relief which, if granted, could materially and adversely
affect the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates (and in such case of this clause
(ii) the Indemnified Party may elect to assume such defense). The Responsible
Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before
entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim or ceasing to defend
against such Third Party Claim (with such approval not to be unreasonably
conditioned or withheld); provided, however, that if the Responsible Party
assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to
any settlement, compromise

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Responsible Party may recommend and
that by its terms obligates the Responsible Party to pay the full amount of the
liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, which releases the
Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim. Whether
or not the Responsible Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle,
compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Responsible Party’s
prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the
Responsible Party does not or cannot assume the defense of such Third Party
Claim as provided in this Section 9.3(a), then the Indemnified Party shall have
the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense
of such Third Party Claim (other than during any period in which the Indemnified
Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided in
this Section 9.3(a)). In the event that the Indemnified Party controls the
defense of a Third Party Claim, it shall obtain the prior written approval of
the Responsible Party before entering into any settlement of such Third Party
Claim or ceasing to defend against such Third Party Claim (with such approval
not to be unreasonably conditioned or withheld). To the extent required under
the R&W Insurance, the insurer under the R&W Insurance and its agents and
advisors shall be permitted to associate effectively with any Party to this
Agreement in the defense of any matter which constitutes Loss (as defined in the
R&W Insurance). Whether or not the Responsible Party chooses to defend or
prosecute any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the parties hereto
shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.
(b)    All of the Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any
Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and
shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such
conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be
reasonably requested in connection therewith.
(c)    This Section 9.3 will not apply to any Tax claims, which are governed by
Section 6.13(d).
Section 9.4    Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not
involving a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party to the
Responsible Party in writing with reasonable promptness, setting forth the facts
giving rise to and the alleged basis for such claim and, if known or reasonably
ascertainable, the amount of the liability asserted or which may be asserted by
reason thereof; provided, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the
Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the
Responsible Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. In the event
the Responsible Party disputes its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party
under this Article 9, the Responsible Party shall have forty-five (45) days
after receipt of notice under this Section 9.4 to give written notice of such
objection, and the grounds therefor, and the Indemnified Party shall thereafter
have fifteen (15) days to respond in writing to the objection of the Responsible
Party. If after such fifteen (15) day period there remains a dispute as to any
obligation, the Parties shall attempt in good faith for fifteen (15) days to
agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to such
indemnification obligation.
Section 9.5    Limitations on Indemnification Obligations. The rights to
indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2 are subject to the
following limitations:
(a)    the amount of any and all Losses will be determined net of (i) any
amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under indemnification agreements or
arrangements with third

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

parties or under insurance policies (including any amounts recovered or
recoverable by the Indemnified Party under the R&W Insurance) with respect to
such Losses and (ii) any net Tax benefit realized with respect to such Losses in
the taxable year in which such Losses arose, determined on a “with and without”
basis;
(b)    prior to seeking recovery from the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i)
(or with respect to any claim that could be made thereunder), Buyer agrees to
make, or cause the appropriate Buyer Indemnitee to make, a claim for the full
amount of such Loss under the R&W Insurance; provided, however, that, so long as
Buyer or the appropriate Buyer Indemnitee has first made such a claim under the
R&W Insurance, Buyer or such Buyer Indemnitee may also make a claim for
indemnification under Section 9.2(a), notwithstanding the fact that the Buyer
Indemnitee’s claim under the R&W Insurance is still pending. Buyer agrees to use
reasonable best efforts to recover, and to cause the appropriate Buyer
Indemnitee to recover, for such claims under the R&W Insurance (including
contesting any improper denial of coverage thereunder). In no event shall any
Buyer Indemnitee be entitled to recover any duplicate Losses pursuant to this
Article 9. If any Buyer Indemnitee shall recover any duplicate Losses pursuant
to the R&W Insurance or otherwise subsequent to recovering corresponding Losses
from the Sellers pursuant to this Article 9, such Buyer Indemnitee shall
promptly reimburse and deliver the amount of such duplicate recovery to the
Sellers. The Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover Losses if such
Losses would have been covered under the R&W Insurance if not for a failure by a
Buyer Indemnitee to comply with the first sentence of this Section 9.5(b) due to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Buyer Indemnitee. Buyer shall
not, and, after the Closing, shall cause the Company not to, amend or modify in
any manner that may adversely affect the Sellers, or cancel or otherwise consent
to the termination of, the R&W Insurance;
(c)    notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Buyer
Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.2(a) with
respect to any Loss of any kind, interest or expenses, regardless of the form of
action through which any of the foregoing are sought, that are in the nature of
punitive or treble damages, except to the extent such damages are awarded to a
third party;
(d)    other than in the event of Fraud, the Sellers shall not be liable for any
Loss pursuant to clause Section 9.2(a)(i)(C) or Section 9.2(a)(i)(D) for which
any Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification thereunder (i) unless
each such Loss (or series of related Losses arising out of the same or related
circumstances) exceeds $50,000 and (ii) until the aggregate amount of such
Losses for which the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover exceeds
$2,000,000, whereupon the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to receive from
the Indemnity Escrow Funds an aggregate amount of Losses up to the Indemnity
Escrow Amount. Other than in the event of Fraud, the Sellers shall not be liable
for any Loss pursuant to clause Section 9.2(a)(i)(C) or Section 9.2(a)(i)(D)
once the Indemnity Escrow Funds have been exhausted and Buyer shall have no
direct claims against Sellers for such Losses;
(e)    only AIG, and not any other Seller, shall be liable for any Loss under
Section 9.2(a) relating to a Pre-Closing Tax imposed on a Group Company under
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local
or foreign Tax law) by reason of a Group Company having been included in a
combined, consolidated, affiliated, unitary or other group for Tax purposes the
common parent of which was AIG or any of its Affiliates (other than the Group

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Companies) (and AIG shall be liable for the full amount of such Loss
notwithstanding Section 9.2(b));
(f)    notwithstanding Section 9.2(b), each Seller shall be liable for Losses in
relation to Pre-Closing Taxes imposed on any Group Company under Subchapter C of
Chapter 63 of the Code (Sections 6221 et seq.), as enacted by the Budget Act,
only to the extent such Pre-Closing Taxes are attributable to such Seller’s
interest in the Company during the “reviewed year” (within the meaning of
Section 6225(d)(1) of the Code, as enacted by the Budget Act) (for the avoidance
of doubt, taking into account any applicable adjustments under Sections 6225(c)
of the Code, as enacted by the Budget Act, in relation to such Seller);
(g)    the indemnification obligations of the Sellers pursuant to Section

be of no further force and effect;
(h)    the Sellers shall not be liable for any Loss arising from a breach of

Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, other than in the event of Fraud, (i) in no event shall the aggregate

Law.

any indemnifiable Losses, the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification for such
Losses shall use

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such Losses to the extent reasonably
practicable promptly after becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be
expected to give rise to any such Losses.
Section 9.8    Exclusive Remedy.
(a)    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or, in the case
of the Buyer Indemnitees, as provided in the R&W Insurance, after the Closing,
indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9 and the rights
provided under the R&W Insurance shall be the sole and exclusive remedies for
the Indemnified Parties for any misrepresentation or breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or other provision contained in this
Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or to otherwise
recover any Loss or other amounts (including any such misrepresentation or
breach relating to Environmental Laws) suffered by any Indemnified Party as a
result of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Agreement
shall not apply to (i) any claims for Losses to the extent arising out of or
based upon Fraud (except with respect to AIG, as set forth in the last sentence
of Section 9.5) or (ii) any claims under, or in any way limit Buyer or any Buyer
Indemnitee’s rights in respect of, the R&W Insurance.
(b)    The provisions of this Article 9 were specifically bargained for and
reflected in the amounts payable to the Sellers in connection with the
Acquisition Transaction pursuant to Article 2.
Section 9.9    Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy. The Parties
acknowledge that Buyer has obtained the R&W Insurance, in the amount of
$50,000,000 and with a retention amount of $4,000,000 to commence on the date of
execution of this Agreement and to remain in effect pursuant to the terms
thereof. Buyer has provided to Sellers substantially final copies of the R&W
Insurance prior to the date of this Agreement. The R&W Insurance has been issued
for the benefit of the Buyer Indemnitees; provided that, the risk of any failure
by the Buyer Indemnitee to bind or maintain coverage in full force under the R&W
Insurance shall be borne by the Buyer Indemnitees, and shall not operate to
prejudice the rights of any Seller Indemnitee or to increase the obligations of
any Seller Indemnitee hereunder. The R&W Insurance is a “Buyer’s” policy and has
been negotiated by Buyer in consultation with the Company and the Sellers. The
insurer(s) shall not have, and will waive, any right, of subrogation,
contribution, or otherwise against any Seller Indemnitee (including any former,
current, or future Seller Representative of any of the foregoing) based upon,
arising out of, or in any way connected to this Agreement, this transaction, or
the R&W Insurance, except for any payment under the R&W Insurance resulting from
that Seller Indemnitee’s actual and intentional fraud in connection with this
transaction. The Seller Indemnitees shall be intended third party beneficiaries
under the policy of the immediately preceding provision.
Section 9.10    Manner of Payment; Escrow.
(a)    To the extent any Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to recover pursuant to
this Article 9 from the Indemnity Escrow Funds or from any Seller, as
applicable, a payment shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately
available funds from the Indemnity Escrow Funds or such

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seller, as applicable, to an account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer,
within fifteen (15) days after the determination thereof.
(b)    With respect to any indemnification in favor of any Seller Indemnitee
pursuant to this Article 9, a payment shall be effected by wire transfer of
immediately available funds from the Buyer or its Affiliate, to an account or
accounts designated in writing by such Seller Indemnitee, within fifteen (15)
days after the determination thereof.
(c)    Any amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account as of the General
Survival Expiration Date (minus the aggregate amount reasonably claimed in good
faith by the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to claims made and not fully resolved
prior to such date) shall be released by the Escrow Agent and disbursed to the
Sellers in accordance with their respective Percentage Allocations. Thereafter,
to the extent the funds held in the Indemnity Escrow Account exceed the
aggregate amount reasonably claimed in good faith by the Buyer Indemnitees
pursuant to claims made prior to the General Survival Expiration Date, and not
fully resolved prior to the time of determination, the excess funds shall be
promptly released by the Escrow Agent and such funds shall be disbursed to the
Sellers in accordance with their respective Percentage Allocations.
(d)    The Seller Representative and Buyer shall deliver joint written
instructions to the Escrow Agent as promptly as reasonably practicable following
the event necessitating a distribution instructing the Escrow Agent to make any
distributions from the Indemnity Escrow Account expressly provided herein.
Section 9.11    Materiality. For purposes of (i) determining the existence of
any such misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy and (ii) calculating the amount
of any Losses incurred in connection with any misrepresentation or breach or
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of any Party in Article 3, 4 or 5
set forth herein, any and all references to “materiality” or “Material Adverse
Effect” (or other correlative or similar terms) shall be disregarded and each
representation or warranty made by any Party in Article 3, 4 or 5, as
applicable, shall be deemed made without any such qualifications or limitations.

or default would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition,

Section 11.5    Construction; Interpretation. The term “this Agreement” means
this Unit Purchase Agreement together with the 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 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. 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”; (v) financial

Section 11.6    Exhibits and Schedules. All exhibits and the disclosure
schedules to this Agreement delivered by the Company to Buyer concurrently with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Schedules”), or 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 in 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 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. The disclosure with respect to
any agreement, contract or other document referred to in the Schedules shall be
qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms thereof. The Schedules and
the information and statements contained therein are not intended to constitute,
and shall not be construed as constituting, representations, warranties,
covenants, agreements or obligations of the Company except as and to the extent
expressly provided in this Agreement, nor shall they be taken as extending the
scope of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set out
in this Agreement. Any capitalized term used in any Exhibit or Schedule but not
otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning given to such term in this
Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 11.7    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 6.6, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Latham & Watkins LLP is a third party
beneficiary of Section 11.16.
Section 11.8    Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement
is 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 a 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 11.9    Seller Representative.
(a)    The Sellers irrevocably appoint Brent Stone to act as the designated
representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of such Sellers with full authority
to make all decisions and determinations and to take all actions required or
permitted under this Agreement on behalf of such Sellers (in such capacity, the
“Seller Representative”), including (i) approving and executing any of the
documents required under this Agreement to be delivered by such Sellers (other
than AIG) on or after the Closing Date, (ii) approving or contesting any matter
provided for in Article 2 of this Agreement, (iii) administering any
indemnification matter on behalf of the Sellers, agreeing to the settlement of
any indemnification matter and otherwise handling and negotiating
indemnification matters, (iv) agreeing to any waiver, consent or amendment under
or to this Agreement, (v) distributing to the Sellers any portion of any
consideration hereunder payable to the Sellers after the Closing Date, (vi)
sending, receiving and reviewing notices under this Agreement on behalf of the
Sellers; provided that Seller Representative shall provide AIG with a copy of
any notice received from Buyer following the Closing Date as promptly as
reasonable practicable following receipt of such notice, and (vii) designating a
successor Seller Representative (with the approval of AIG) in the event of the
resignation or death of the then current Seller Representative. Each Seller
acknowledges that this Section 11.9 is intended to have the broadest possible
scope for the purpose of promoting the efficient negotiation and handling of all
matters which arise under or in connection with this Agreement. All actions
taken by the Seller Representative in connection with, or relating to, the
subject matter of this Agreement that are within the authority conferred upon
the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 11.9 shall be deemed
authorized, approved, ratified and confirmed by the Sellers, having the same
force and effect as if performed pursuant to the direct authorization of such
the Sellers. Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon, without independent
investigation, any act, notice, instruction or communication from the Seller
Representative on behalf of the Sellers and shall not be liable in any manner
whatsoever for any action taken or not taken in reliance upon the actions taken
or not taken or communications or writings given or executed by the Seller
Representative. Buyer shall be entitled to disregard any notices or
communications given or made by any Seller unless given or made through the
Seller Representative.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    By Seller Representative’s execution hereof, the Seller Representative
hereby accepts the appointment as such. The Seller Representative may resign at
any time in a writing delivered to the Sellers. The Sellers may, at any time,
remove the Seller Representative and appoint a substitute representative by
written consent signed by the Sellers (or, if applicable, their respective
heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns) representing a majority of
the aggregate Pro Rata Percentage; provided¸ that such appointment shall also
require the consent of AIG. If the Seller Representative is an individual and
dies or becomes disabled or incapacitated, or if the Seller Representative is an
entity and files for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent or dissolves, or if the
Seller Representative, in either case, otherwise becomes unable to perform the
Seller Representative’s responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such
position, the Sellers shall, by such written consent (including of AIG), appoint
a substitute representative to fill such vacancy. Any such substitute
representative shall be deemed to be the Seller Representative for all purposes
of this Agreement. Upon the selection of such substitute Seller Representative,
such substitute shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of such appointment,
which written notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the written consent
effecting such appointment.
(c)    The Seller Representative shall act in such capacity in the manner the
Seller Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Sellers. The
Seller Representative is authorized to act on behalf of the Sellers
notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among the Sellers. In taking any
action as the Seller Representative, the Seller Representative may rely
conclusively, without any further inquiry or investigation, upon any
certification or confirmation, oral or written, given by any Person whom the
Seller Representative reasonably believes to be authorized thereunto. The Seller
Representative may, in all questions arising hereunder, rely on the advice of
counsel of its choosing, and the Seller Representative shall not be liable to
any Seller for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Seller
Representative based on such advice. The Seller Representative undertakes to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Seller Representative. The Seller Representative shall not
have any liability to any Seller for any act done or omitted hereunder as the
Seller Representative while acting in good faith. The Seller Representative
shall be indemnified by the Sellers from and against any loss, liability or
expense incurred in good faith on the part of the Seller Representative and
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the
Seller Representative’s duties hereunder.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any
document related to this Agreement, the Seller Representative will only have the
power or authority to act regarding matters pertaining to the Sellers as a group
and not regarding matters pertaining to or affecting an individual Seller in a
manner different from other Sellers generally (such individual Seller matters
would include, for example, but not by way of limitation, an action against an
individual Seller for his, her or its breach of any representation or warranty
set forth in Article 4 or breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement
under this Agreement), and the powers conferred on the Seller Representative
herein and in such other related document shall not authorize or empower the
Seller Representative to do or cause to be done any action (including by
amending, modifying or waiving any provision of this Agreement or such other
document or otherwise) that (i) results in the amounts payable hereunder or
thereunder to any Seller being distributed in any manner other than as permitted
pursuant to this Agreement or such related document, (ii) alters the
consideration payable to any Seller pursuant to this Agreement or such related
document, or (iii)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

adds to or results in an increase of any Seller’s indemnity or other obligations
or Liabilities under this Agreement or such related document (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, any change to the nature of the indemnity obligations);
provided that settlement of an indemnification matter or the post-closing
adjustment in Section 2.4(d), in each case otherwise in accordance with this
Agreement, shall not constitute a breach of the limitations set forth in clauses
(i) through (iii).
(e)    The Company and the Seller Representative will, at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the Closing Date, direct, by joint written notice to
Buyer, that on the Closing Date an amount equal to $2,000,000 (the “Holdback
Amount”) shall be paid directly by Buyer to the Seller Representative as
designated in such notice, as a fund for the fees and expenses of the Seller
Representative incurred in connection with this Agreement, with any balance of
the Holdback Amount not used for such purposes (as determined by the Seller
Representative in good faith) to be paid by the Seller Representative to the
Sellers in accordance with their respective Holdback Allocations upon its good
faith determination that the remaining Holdback Amount is no longer necessary
for the Seller Representative’s performance of its duties pursuant to the
Transaction Documents, and which release shall occur no later than four (4)
years from the date of this Agreement.
Section 11.10    Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be
executed in one or more 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,
e-mail, or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart to this Agreement.
Section 11.11    Knowledge of the Company. For all purposes of this Agreement,
the phrase “to the Company’s knowledge” and “known by the Company” and any
derivations thereof shall mean as of the applicable date, the actual knowledge
without independent investigation (and shall in no event encompass constructive,
imputed or similar concepts of knowledge) of Geoffrey McKernan, William
McKernan, William Kanehann, Felix DiFiore and Catherine Hunt, none of whom shall
have any personal liability or obligations regarding such knowledge.
Section 11.12    No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or
implied in this Agreement, except with respect to Fraud, Buyer acknowledges and
agrees that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments
delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any past,
present or future director, officer, agent or employee of any Seller or
Affiliate thereof or any past, present or future member of a Seller or of any
Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such, whether by the enforcement of any
assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute,
regulation or other applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged
that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or
otherwise be incurred by any such Person, for any obligation of such Seller
under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection
with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained
herein shall restrict the ability of the Sellers to seek specific performance of
Parent’s obligations hereunder in connection with the Parent Guarantee pursuant
to and in accordance with Section 11.15(b).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 11.13    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ACTION (I) ARISING
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) 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
FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL
WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE 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 11.14    Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably
(a) consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State
of New York, City of New York and of the United States of America located in the
State of New York, City of New York in any action relating to the transactions
contemplated by this agreement, (b) waives any objection to the laying of venue
of any action related to the transactions contemplated by this agreement brought
in such court, (c) waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court
that any such action brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum, and (d) agrees that service of process or of any other
papers upon such Party by registered mail at the address to which notices are
required to be sent to such Party under Section 11.2 shall be deemed good,
proper and effective service upon such Party.
Section 11.15    Remedies.
(a)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies
provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other
remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise
by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
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 their respective obligations under the provisions of this
Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them
hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in
accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is
accordingly agreed that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8.1, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches
of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this
Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them
hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), in
each case without posting a bond or undertaking, this being in addition to any
other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. 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 the other Parties have an adequate
remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy
for any reason at law or equity notwithstanding the potential for payment of the
Termination Fee in the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance
with Section 8.2. No breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
contained herein or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement
shall give rise to any right on the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

part of any Party, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that the Sellers
shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the Parent Guarantee to cause
the Guaranteed Obligations to be funded if and only if (i) the conditions set
forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied (other than those
conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the
Closing; provided, that such conditions are then capable of being satisfied and
will be satisfied at the Closing) or have been waived (in writing) by Buyer in
each case at the time the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to
Section 2.1, (ii) the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) has
irrevocably confirmed to Buyer in writing that, if specific performance is
granted and the Guaranteed Obligations are funded, the Sellers are ready,
willing and able to (and shall), and shall cause the Company to, perform its
obligations in connection with effectuating the Closing and the Closing will
occur pursuant to Article 2 (and the Seller Representative has not (on behalf of
the Sellers) revoked such notice), and (iii) Buyer fails to consummate the
Closing by the later of (A) two (2) Business Days following the date of the
notice described in clause (ii) and (B) the date the Closing is required to have
occurred in accordance with Section 2.2.
(c)    To the extent any Party brings an Action to enforce specifically the
performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an Action
to enforce specifically any provision that expressly survives termination of
this Agreement), the Outside Date shall automatically be extended to (i) the
tenth (10th) Business Day following the final resolution of such Action or (ii)
such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.
Section 11.16    Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that Latham & Watkins LLP has
acted as legal counsel to the Sellers, their respective Affiliates and the Group
Companies prior to the Closing, and that Latham & Watkins LLP intends to act as
legal counsel to the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (which will no
longer include the Group Companies) after the Closing, each of Buyer and the
Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its respective
Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Latham &
Watkins LLP representing the Sellers and/or their respective Affiliates after
the Closing as such representation may relate to Buyer, any Group Company or the
transactions contemplated herein. In addition, all communications involving
attorney-client confidences between any Seller, its Affiliates or any Group
Company and Latham & Watkins LLP in the course of the negotiation, documentation
and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be
attorney-client confidences that belong solely to such Seller and its Affiliates
(and not the Group Companies). Accordingly, the Group Companies shall not have
access to any such communications, or to the files of Latham & Watkins LLP
relating to its engagement, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing,
(i) the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (and not the Group Companies)
shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such
engagement, and none of the Group Companies shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to
the extent that files of Latham & Watkins LLP in respect of such engagement
constitute property of the client, only the Sellers and their respective
Affiliates (and not the Group Companies) shall hold such property rights and
(iii) Latham & Watkins LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose
any such attorney-client communications or files to any of the Group Companies
by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Latham & Watkins LLP and
any of the Group Companies or otherwise.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 11.17    Currency. All payments made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement
shall be made in United States dollars.
Section 11.18    Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set
forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.
