the requirements set forth in Section 5.4 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule in connection therewith. For greater certainty, the failure to obtain any or all of such Consents shall not in itself entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement

 (b) Representatives of the Sellers and the Purchaser have met to discuss, subject to
applicable Law (including any applicable Antitrust Law), Purchaser’s post-Closing strategy with respect to the assignment, novation, termination or rejection of the Other Contracts of the Business. Within five (5) Business Days after such
meeting, subject to the Main Sellers compliance with its obligations under Sections 2.1.5(a)(ii) and 2.1.6(a)(ii), the Purchaser has provided to the Main Sellers a list of those suppliers of the Business that are party to Other Contracts that the
Purchaser may wish to have assigned to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser at Closing (the “Selected Suppliers”). The Purchaser shall be entitled to supplement the list of Selected Suppliers by written notice to the Main Sellers
within the thirty- (30-) Business Day period following the date on which this initial list was delivered by Purchaser to the Sellers. On or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the date when the Purchaser delivered to the Main Sellers the list
of Selected Suppliers (or provides a supplement thereto) in accordance with the previous sentences, the Main Sellers provided or, with respect to supplements, shall provide to the Purchaser a good faith estimate of the amount of the Cure Cost
aggregated for each Selected Supplier under the Other Contracts with each Selected Supplier, as of the date thereof. If, subsequent to the delivery of such good faith estimates, it is determined that the Cure Costs under the Other Contracts with a
Selected Supplier exceed by more than ten percent (10%) the good faith estimate provided by the Main Sellers to the Purchaser, the Contract Designation Date for such Other Contracts shall be extended pursuant to clause (a)(ii) of the definition
of Contract Designation Date. 
 (c) To the extent that the assumption and assignment of any 365 Customer Contract or 365 SI/SP
Contract entails the payment of any Cure Cost, NNI shall, or shall cause the relevant U.S. Debtor to, pay or otherwise provide for payment of such Cure Cost as required by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and provided in the U.S. Sale Order. To the extent
that assumption and assignment of any Assumed and Assigned Contract (other than a 365 Customer Contract or 365 SI/SP Contract) entails the payment of any Cure Cost, the Purchaser shall directly pay or otherwise provide for payment of such Cure Cost
as required by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and provided in the U.S. Sale Order and such payment shall not entitle the Purchaser to any adjustment to the Purchase Price. 
 (d) To the extent that assignment to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser of any Non-365 Customer Contract or Non-365 SI/SP Contract entails the payment of any Cure Cost, the relevant Main Sellers
shall, or shall cause the relevant Seller to, pay such amounts directly to such counterparty in a manner agreed between such Main Seller or such relevant Seller, as applicable, and such counterparty or ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.
To the extent that assignment to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser of any Assigned Contract other than a Non-365 Customer Contract or Non-365 SI/SP Contract or an Assumed and Assigned Contract entails the payment of Cure Costs, the Purchaser
shall pay such amounts directly to such contracting party in a manner agreed between the Purchaser and such contracting party or ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, and such payment shall not entitle the Purchaser to any adjustment to the
Purchase Price. 
 (e) To the extent that entry into a Sublease with the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser of any Assumed and
Subleased Real Estate Lease or Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease entails the payment of Cure Costs, the Purchaser shall pay its pro-rata share (based on the ratio of the rentable square footage of the premises subject to such sublease to the
overall

  

 62 








 
rentable square footage of the premises demised under such Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease or Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease) of such Cure Costs directly to such contracting party in
a manner agreed between the Purchaser and such contracting party or ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction and the Main Seller or relevant Seller shall be responsible to pay the remainder of such Cure Costs in a manner agreed between such Main
Seller or such relevant Seller, as applicable, and such counterparty or ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction (or, at the election of Purchaser, Purchaser shall be entitled to pay the entirety of such Cure Costs and receive an adjustment to
the Purchase Price for the Cure Costs paid on Sellers’ behalf). In the case of any Cure Costs relating to any Non-365 Real Estate Lease, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall agree as to the amounts required to be paid to the relevant landlord
prior to payment by either the Sellers or the Purchaser with respect to the same. 
 (f) Prior to the hearing before the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court to assume the Assumed and Assigned Contracts, the Purchaser shall provide adequate assurance of its and the relevant Designated Purchasers’ future performance under each Assumed and Assigned Contract to the parties thereto
(other than the U.S. Debtors) in satisfaction of section 365(f)(2)(B) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and to the extent required by the U.S. Sale Order; provided, however, that the Purchaser may, subject to the conditions set forth herein (and
other than with respect to a Real Estate Lease, Customer Contract or SI/SP Contract), elect to forego performing such actions and incurring such costs and expenses, in which case the relevant Assumed and Assigned Contract shall be deemed a
Non-Assigned Contract at Closing and all liabilities thereunder shall be Excluded Liabilities. 
 (g) The Parties shall, and
shall cause the Other Sellers and the Designated Purchasers, as applicable, to, use reasonable best efforts to obtain all Consents required to permit the assignment to the Purchaser (or, if specified by the Purchaser, a Designated Purchaser) of the
Designated 365 Contracts and the Designated Non-365 Contracts in force as of the Closing Date and the entry into Subleases; provided, however, that the Sellers shall be under no obligation to compromise any right, asset or benefit or
to expend any amount or incur any Liability in seeking such Consents other than filing and application fees to Government Entities and payment of Cure Costs for which such Party is responsible pursuant to Section 2.1.7, and, for greater
certainty, the failure to obtain any or all of such Consents shall not entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or fail to complete the transactions contemplated hereby or entitle the Purchaser to any adjustment to the Purchase Price.

 2.1.8. Local Sale Agreements. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to the extent necessary or desirable to
effect the Closing on the terms hereof, the relevant Sellers shall, and the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the relevant Designated Purchasers to, enter into such agreements or instruments, including a sale agreement and quit-claim deed for the
Owned Real Estate (but only in the event that Purchaser exercises its election under Section 2.1.1 to include the Owned Real Estate among the Assets) and bills of sale and/or assignment and assumption agreements (the “Local Sale
Agreements”), providing for (i) the sale, transfer, assignment or other conveyance to the Purchaser and/or relevant Designated Purchasers, in accordance with the requirements of applicable local Law, of any Assets, located in countries
where such Local Sale Agreements are required or desirable, and (ii) the assumption by the Designated Purchasers of any Assumed Liability that the Purchaser intends to allocate to them.

assume, any Liability whatsoever under this Agreement and nothing in this Agreement (except to the extent expressly incorporated into the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement) shall apply to, or govern, the sale, assignment, transfer, retention or assumption
of assets, rights, properties or Liabilities of, or by, any EMEA Sellers in any manner whatsoever. The only assets, rights, properties and Liabilities of the EMEA Sellers that are being sold, assigned or transferred to, and assumed by, the Purchaser
or the EMEA Designated Purchasers, and the terms and conditions thereof, and representations with respect thereto, are solely as expressly set forth in the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement. 
 2.1.10. Non-Assignable Assets. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the requisite Consent has not been
obtained on or prior to Closing, then, unless such Consent is subsequently obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, transfer or assign, directly or indirectly, any Asset or any obligation or benefit arising thereunder if
an attempted direct or indirect sale, transfer, lease, sublease or assignment thereof, without the Consent of a third party (including a Government Entity), would constitute a breach, default, violation or other contravention of the rights of such
third party or would be ineffective with respect to any party to a Contract concerning such Asset. For greater certainty, failure to obtain any such Consent shall not entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or fail to complete the
transactions contemplated hereby or entitle the Purchaser to any adjustment of the Purchase Price and the Main Sellers and the Purchaser shall each act in accordance with Section 5.13 hereof in relation to any Deferred Transfer Purchased
Assets.

Purchaser shall pay to the Escrow Agent, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, a fee, to be held in accordance with Section 2.2.1(c), equal to ninety-seven thousand six hundred dollars ($97,600) per day (the “Daily Fee”).

Distribution Agent (as agent of the Sellers and the EMEA Sellers) at Closing pursuant to Section 2.3.2(b); or 
 (ii) be applied to (i) the Reverse Termination Fee payable by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.3 (and therefore become property of the Sellers and the EMEA Sellers as of the effective date of the termination of this Agreement

Principles and the terms hereof. Throughout the periods during which the Closing Statement is being prepared and any disputes that may arise under this Section 2.2.3 are being resolved, the Purchaser and the Designated Purchasers shall,
promptly upon request, provide the Main Sellers, the EMEA Sellers and their respective accountants reasonable access to the books, records, documents, schedules and workpapers and personnel of the Business and the Companies in connection with the
preparation of the Closing Statement and resolution of any disagreements with respect thereto. 
 (b) If the Purchaser (acting

required disclosure to the Purchaser, the Designated Purchasers or their respective representatives to occur without so jeopardizing privilege). The Purchaser, the Main Sellers and the EMEA Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any
disagreement with respect to the Closing Statement, and any resolution agreed to in writing by the Purchaser and the Main Sellers and the EMEA Sellers shall be final and binding upon the Parties. 
 (c) If the Purchaser and the Main Sellers and the EMEA Sellers are unable to resolve any disagreement as contemplated by
Section 2.2.3.1(b) within fourteen (14) days after delivery of a Disagreement Notice by the Purchaser, either the Main Sellers, the EMEA Sellers or the Purchaser may appoint the Accounting Arbitrator, on behalf of all Parties and the EMEA
Sellers, to resolve such disagreement. The Accounting Arbitrator’s determination shall be based only on the written submissions by the Main Sellers, the EMEA Sellers and the Purchaser and not upon any independent review by the Accounting
Arbitrator. The Primary Parties and NNUK shall instruct the Accounting Arbitrator and the Accounting Arbitrator shall consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Closing Statement as to which the Main Sellers, the EMEA Sellers and the
Purchaser have not resolved their disagreement. With respect to each such item, the decision of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be the amount claimed by the Main Sellers and the EMEA Sellers, the amount claimed by the Purchaser, or an amount between
the amount

  

 67 








 
claimed by the Main Sellers and the EMEA Sellers and the amount claimed by the Purchaser. The Main Sellers, NNUK and the Purchaser shall instruct, and they shall use their reasonable best efforts
to cause, the Accounting Arbitrator to deliver to the Primary Parties and NNUK, as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days after his or her appointment), a written report setting forth the resolution of any such
disagreement determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such report and the Closing Statement, as adjusted thereby, shall be final and binding upon the Parties and the EMEA Sellers. Neither the Main Sellers or the EMEA Sellers nor
the Purchaser shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Accounting Arbitrator regarding the subject matter hereof without the other Party’s prior consent. In the event the Accounting Arbitrator concludes that the Purchaser was
correct as to a majority (by dollar amount) of the disputed items, then the Sellers and the EMEA Sellers shall pay the Accounting Arbitrator’s fees, costs and expenses. In the event the Accounting Arbitrator concludes that the Main Sellers and
the EMEA Sellers were correct as to a majority (by dollar amount) of the disputed items, then the Purchaser shall pay the Accounting Arbitrator’s fees, costs and expenses.

reduction for transition services described in Section 5.36(c)), equal to the net book value of such Assets as of the Closing Date and (ii) then allocate the balance of the Purchase Price, as adjusted in clause (i) of this Section, to
the tangible Assets and intangible Assets as the Parties and the EMEA Sellers may agree. 
 (b) To the extent necessary to file
Transfer Tax Returns, or to implement a Section 338(h)(10) Election or a Loss Duplication Election (if such an election is made), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine an allocation of the Purchase Price, less the $10 million
reduction for transition services described in Section 5.36(c), (and, to the extent properly taken into account under the applicable Tax Laws, the Assumed Liabilities) among the Assets, the EMEA Assets and the Shares (and, if applicable, the
non-compete agreement as set forth in Section 5.33) in accordance with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and other applicable Tax Laws, which allocation shall be subject to the
principles of Section 2.2.7(a) (such allocation, a “Partial Allocation”). If the Parties do not reach agreement on a Partial Allocation after negotiating in good faith, the Partial Allocation shall be submitted to the
Accounting Arbitrator, which shall prepare a final Partial Allocation; provided, however, that if a different Partial Allocation is required by a Government Entity (including for this purpose an allocation required, approved or authorized
pursuant to a Bankruptcy Proceeding), then the Partial Allocation shall be modified as necessary to be consistent with the required allocation (but in all cases shall be subject to the principles of Section 2.2.7(a)). Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, if the Parties have not reached agreement on the Partial Allocation and the Accounting Arbitrator has not submitted its determination on or before the date that a Transfer Tax Return is required to be filed with the relevant Tax
Authority (giving effect to any valid extensions) pursuant to Section 6.8(b), then such Transfer Tax Return shall be timely filed in the manner that the Party with primary responsibility for filing such return reasonably determines and shall,
upon receiving the Accounting Arbitrator’s later determination and to the extent permitted under applicable Law, promptly file an amended return in accordance therewith. The Parties agree (i) to be bound by the final Partial Allocation
accepted by the Parties or prepared by the Accounting Arbitrator (as

  

 73 








 
modified to be consistent with the allocation required by a Government Entity, as described above), as applicable, and (ii) to act in accordance with the allocations contained in such final
Partial Allocation for all purposes relating to Transfer Taxes (including the preparation, filing and audit of any Transfer Tax Returns) and to a Section 338(h)(10) Election or a Loss Duplication Election. For purposes of this
Section 2.2.7(b), the term Parties shall include the EMEA Sellers to the extent any negotiations or agreement required hereunder concern Transfer Tax Returns.

another in connection with all analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to the Antitrust

cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable under all applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and/or by the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement), including using its reasonable best efforts to make
all required filings and obtain all Antitrust Approvals, the ICA Approval, and any other Consent of a Government Entity required to be obtained in order for the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and/or by the
EMEA Asset Sale Agreement).

and causing the Designated Purchasers and/or the EMEA Designated Purchasers to commit, to undertakings, divestitures, licenses or hold separate or similar arrangements with respect to their respective assets, the Assets and/or the EMEA Assets and to

undertakings, divestitures, licenses or hold separate or similar arrangements or any arrangements for the conduct of any business and/or terminating any relationships or contractual rights or obligations that, individually or in the aggregate, would
be material in relation to the value of the Acquired Business. 
 (f) For the avoidance of doubt, the covenants under this
Section 5.5 shall not apply to any action, effort, filing, Consent, proceedings, or other activity or matter under any Bankruptcy Law relating to the Bankruptcy Courts, the Bankruptcy Proceedings and/or the Bankruptcy Consents.

to the date hereof, the Sellers shall not have any obligation to make available to the Purchaser or its representatives, or provide the Purchaser or its representatives with, (i) any Tax Return filed by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates or
predecessors, or any related material or (ii) more generally, any information if, in the good faith opinion of the Sellers, making such information available would (A) result in the loss of any attorney-client or other legal privilege or
(B) cause the Sellers to be found in contravention of any applicable Law, or contravene any fiduciary duty or agreement existing on the date hereof (including any confidentiality agreement to which the Sellers or any of their Affiliates are a
party), it being understood that the Sellers shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests that would enable otherwise required disclosure to the Purchaser to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, duty or
agreement. 
 SECTION 5.7. Public Announcements. Subject to (i) the provisions of Section 7.4(a) with
respect to communications and announcements to the Employees and the employees of the Purchaser and the Designated Purchasers and the last sentence of this Section 5.7 and (ii) the Parties’ disclosure obligations imposed by Law

notices to customers, suppliers and Employees, with respect to this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (b) not issue any such announcement or statement prior to
consultation with, and the approval of, the Primary Parties (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that approval shall not be required where a Party determines, based on advice of counsel and after consultation
with the Primary Parties, that such disclosure is required by Law. The Parties shall comply with the provisions of Exhibit 5.7. 
 SECTION 5.8. Further Actions. 
 (a) Without limiting the foregoing, on and after the Closing Date, each
Party shall cooperate with the other Parties, without any further consideration, to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of conveyance, novations assignment and transfer, and to make all filings with, and to
obtain all consents, under any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument or regulation, and to take all such other actions as any of the Parties may reasonably request to take by any other Parties from time to time, consistent with
the terms of this Agreement, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents; provided that, subject to Section 2.1.6(d), Section 2.1.7(g), Section 5.4, Section 5.5 and
Section 5.36, neither the Purchaser nor the Sellers shall be obligated to make any payment or deliver anything of value to any Third Party (other than filing and application fees to Government Entities and payment of Cure Costs for which such
Party is responsible pursuant to Section 2.1.7 and in order to obtain any Consent to the transfer of Assets or the assumption of Assumed Liabilities). 
  

 106 








 (b) The Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to make available (in accordance
with applicable Law and subject to the provisions of the Clean Team Confidentiality Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement), to the Purchaser in the Data Room or to appropriate Clean Team Members, as soon as practicable, all material
documentation that forms part of, and all other information reasonably requested by the Purchaser in writing to enable the Purchaser to review by the relevant Contract Designation Date, the Other 365 Contracts and Other Non-365 Contracts.

 (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and in addition to any other indemnities contained therein, the Sublease
with respect to the Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease related to the Belleville, Ontario real estate shall contain an indemnity from the relevant Seller to the Purchaser or Designated Purchaser with respect to the environmental conditions present
at the Belleville, Ontario real estate prior to or as of the Closing Date, such indemnity to be in form and substance reasonably equivalent to that specified in Seller’s existing Non-365 Real Estate Lease related to the Belleville, Ontario real
estate. 
 SECTION 5.9. Conduct of Business. The Sellers covenant that except as (i) the Purchaser may approve
otherwise in writing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) set forth in Section 5.9 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, (iii) otherwise expressly contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or another
Transaction Document, (iv) required by Law (including any applicable Bankruptcy Law) or by any order of a Bankruptcy Court, or (v) relates solely to Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities, the Sellers shall, and shall cause each of the
Companies (other than the NGS Companies) and each of their Subsidiaries which are listed on Exhibit A hereunder (other than any Excluded Other Seller) to, and shall use reasonable best efforts (consistently with the terms of the Proxy

Agreements; or grant any license under or with respect to any Licensed Intellectual Property or Licensed Enterprise Patents, in each case except for Predominantly Non-Enterprise IP, within the

 (f) hire any Person employed or to be employed in the Business or engage any independent contractor to be engaged in the Business for total annual base remuneration in excess of $200,000 per year;

 (g) waive, release, assign, settle or compromise any material Action relating to the Business or the Companies to the extent
that such waiver, release, assignment, settlement or compromise imposes any binding obligation, whether contingent or realized, on the Business that will bind the Companies and/or the Designated Purchasers after the Closing Date and is materially

right to claim a Tax refund or any

  

 109 








 
extension or waiver of a limitations period, with respect to any consolidated or affiliated group, except to the extent that such acts would materially increase the Tax liability of a Company);
or 
 (r) enter into any Contract not to compete in any line of business or geographic area that would reasonably be expected to

 (s) enter into any Contract granting an indemnity in respect of intellectual property infringement or misappropriation other than in the

 110 








 SECTION 5.10. Transaction Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement or the Transaction Documents, each of the Purchaser and the Sellers shall bear its own costs and expenses (including brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or similar compensation, and legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection
with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; provided, however, that costs and expenses of the Companies shall be deemed to be costs and expenses of the Sellers. 
 SECTION 5.11. Confidentiality. 
 (a) The Parties acknowledge that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, which are incorporated herein by reference, and the Parties agree to be bound
thereby in the same manner and to the same extent as if the terms had been set forth herein in full, except that the Sellers shall be at liberty to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any court or to any liquidator or in connection with any
auction process approved by the Bankruptcy Court and show appropriate figures in their administration records, accounts and returns. 
 (b) From the Closing Date until the date that is five (5) years after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the respective representatives of
the Sellers and their Affiliates not to, use or disclose to any Third Party, any Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” consists of all competitively sensitive information and data
related to the Business, the Assets and/or the Companies (including Transferred Intellectual Property and competitively sensitive Business Information existing as of the Closing Date), Purchaser or its Affiliates that is not, in each case, already
available to the public, provided that nothing herein or in the other Transaction Documents shall be construed as precluding, prohibiting, restricting or otherwise limiting the ability of the Sellers, Seller’s Affiliates or their
respective representatives to (i) disclose the terms of any of the Transaction Documents to any court or to any liquidator or in connection with any auction process approved by a Bankruptcy Court and show appropriate figures in their
administration records, accounts and return; (ii) make permitted disclosures under Section 5.7; (iii) exercise or enforce any of its rights, or perform any obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including
the Transition Services Agreement and the Intellectual Property License Agreement, (iv) make any disclosures that are required by applicable Law; (v) own, use or disclose Confidential Information that is not exclusive to the Business to
the extent necessary to (in the reasonable judgment of the Sellers) operate the other business segments of the Sellers or their Affiliates or otherwise engage in any manner in any business activities unrelated to the Business in compliance with
Section 5.33; (vi) use Confidential Information to the extent necessary to perform Rejected Customer Contracts; or (vii) make customary disclosures, subject to customary confidentiality agreements, regarding Confidential Information
that is not exclusive to the Business and is primarily related to other business segments of the Sellers in connection with acquiring, merging or otherwise combining with, or being acquired by, or selling all or part of their assets to, any Person
(whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions or whether structured as an acquisition of assets, securities or otherwise). 
  

 111 








 SECTION 5.12. Certain Payments or Instruments Received from Third Parties. To
the extent that, after the Closing Date, (a) the Purchaser, any Designated Purchaser or any Company receives any payment or instrument that is for the account of a Seller according to the terms of any Transaction Document, the Purchaser shall,
and shall cause the Designated Purchasers and the Companies to, promptly deliver such amount or instrument to the relevant Seller, and (b) any of the Sellers receives any payment that is for the account of the Purchaser, any of the Designated
Purchasers or the Companies according to the terms of any Transaction Document, the Sellers shall, and shall cause the other Sellers to promptly deliver such amount or instrument to the Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchaser or Company, as
applicable. All amounts due and payable under this Section 5.12 shall be due and payable by the applicable Party in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account designated in writing by the relevant Party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each Party hereby undertakes to use reasonable best efforts to direct or forward all bills, invoices or like instruments to the appropriate Party. 
 SECTION 5.13. Non-Assignable Contracts and Other Assets. 
 (a) To the
extent that any Seller Contract or any Seller Consent is not capable of being assigned under section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or, if inapplicable, pursuant to other applicable Laws or the terms of such Contract or Consent) to the Purchaser
or a Designated Purchaser at the Closing, or that any Sublease cannot be entered into, without the Consent of the issuer thereof or the other party thereto or the master landlord or any Third Party (including a Government Entity) (collectively, the
“Non-Assignable Contracts”), this Agreement will not constitute an assignment thereof, or an attempted assignment, nor shall any Sublease be entered under any Non-Assignable Contract, unless any such Consent is obtained following
Closing; provided, however, that the Sellers will use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Purchaser in any commercially reasonable arrangement to provide the Purchaser the same interest, benefits, rights and Liabilities under
any such Non-Assignable Contracts as the applicable Seller had immediately prior to the Closing, including using reasonable best efforts to enter into one or more mutually agreed Subcontract Agreements. As between the Sellers and the Purchaser (or
the relevant Designated Purchaser), such Non-Assignable Contracts shall be deemed to be assigned or subleased, as the case may be, and the Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser) shall perform all obligations and covenants thereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences: (i) nothing in this Section 5.13 shall require any Seller to renew any Non-Assignable Contract once it has expired, (ii) any efforts required of the Sellers pursuant to this paragraph shall
(A) be subject to receipt of adequate compensation in respect of all direct incremental costs and expenses incurred in respect of or related to such arrangement, (B) be strictly on an interim basis and in no event required to continue
after the expiration of the term of the Transition Services Agreement, and (C) to the extent not prohibited, be of an administrative nature only, without any substantive function, and shall be carried out by employees of the Sellers under the
Transition Services Agreement. The Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser, as applicable, shall reimburse the relevant Seller for any direct incremental cost incurred and indemnify and hold each Seller harmless from and against all Liabilities,
incurred or asserted, as a result of any actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.13. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that the fact that any Contract constitutes a Non-Assignable Contract shall not (i) constitute a
breach of any covenant hereunder, (ii) entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or (iii) result in any reduction of the Purchase Price payable hereunder. Any Non-

  

 112 








 
Assignable Contract assigned pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.13 shall, when assigned, constitute an Assigned Contract hereunder from and after such date. 
 (b) For the purposes of this Agreement (including Section 5.13(a) and all representations and warranties of the Sellers contained
herein), the relevant Sellers shall be deemed to have obtained all required Consents in respect of the assignment of any Assumed and Assigned Contract if, and to the extent that, pursuant to the U.S. Sale Order, the Sellers are authorized to assume
and assign to the Designated Purchasers such Seller Contract pursuant to section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and any applicable Cure Cost has been satisfied as provided in Section 2.1.7; 
 (c) If and to the extent that sale to the Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser of any Assets pursuant to Section 2.1.1 would be a
violation of applicable Law or require any Consent or the approval of any Government Entity or the fulfillment of any condition that cannot be fulfilled by the Purchaser prior to the Closing, then, to the extent permitted by applicable Law,
including any Antitrust Laws, and unless the Purchaser shall otherwise agree, the sale to the Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser of such Asset shall be, without any further action by any Party hereto, automatically deferred and any sale of such
Asset pursuant to Section 2.1.1 or otherwise shall be null and void until such time as all such violations of applicable Law are eliminated, such consents or approvals of Government Entities are obtained and such conditions are fulfilled, which
in all cases shall be no later than 12 months from the Closing Date unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties hereto. Any such Asset shall be deemed a “Deferred Transfer Purchased Asset.” 
 (d) If and to the extent that the allocation to Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser, and Purchaser’s or any Designated
Purchaser’s becoming responsible for, any Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.1.3 or otherwise would be a violation of applicable Law or require any Consent or the approval of any Government Entity or the fulfillment of any condition
that cannot be fulfilled by Sellers prior to the Closing, then, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, including any Antitrust Laws and unless the parties hereto shall otherwise agree, the allocation to Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries of,
and Purchaser’s or any such Designated Purchaser’s becoming responsible for, such Assumed Liability shall, without any further action by any party, be automatically deferred and any allocation or responsibility for such Assumed Liability
pursuant to Section 2.1.3 or otherwise shall be null and void until such time as all violations of applicable Law are eliminated, such consents or approvals of Government Entities are obtained, and such conditions are fulfilled. Any such
Assumed Liability shall be deemed a “Deferred Transfer Assumed Liability.” 
 (e) With respect to any Deferred
Transfer Purchased Asset or any Deferred Transfer Assumed Liability, insofar as it is reasonably possible and permitted under applicable Law, including any Antitrust Laws, (i) Sellers shall, following the Closing, hold such Deferred Transfer
Purchased Asset for the use and benefit of the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (at the expense of the Purchaser) and (ii) the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, pay or reimburse Seller for all amounts paid or incurred
in connection with the retention of such Deferred Transfer Assumed Liability. Sellers shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, including any Antitrust Laws, hold and treat such Deferred Transfer Purchased
Asset in the Ordinary Course and take such other actions as may be

  

 113 








 
reasonably requested by the Purchaser in order to place the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries, insofar as permissible under applicable Law, including any Antitrust Laws, and reasonably
possible, in the same position as if such Deferred Transfer Purchased Asset had been sold to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser at the Closing and so that, to the extent possible, all the benefits and burdens relating to such Deferred Transfer
Purchased Asset, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Deferred Transfer Purchased Asset, are to inure from and after the Closing to the Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiary
entitled to the receipt of such Deferred Transfer Purchased Asset. 
 (f) If and when the violations of applicable Law are
eliminated and such consents, approvals and/or conditions of Government Entities are obtained the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of transfer of any Deferred Transfer Purchased Asset pursuant to Sections 5.13(b), the sale of
the applicable Deferred Transfer Purchased Asset shall be effected in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement. 
 (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.13, any efforts required of the Sellers pursuant to this Section 5.13 in respect of Deferred Transfer Purchased Asset shall (A) be subject to receipt of adequate
compensation in respect of all incremental costs and expenses incurred in respect of or related to such arrangement, (B) be strictly on an interim basis and in no event required to continue after the expiration of the term under the Transition
Services Agreement, (C) to the extent not prohibited, be of an administrative nature only, without any substantive function, and be carried out by employees of the Sellers under the Transition Services Agreement. In no event shall the Sellers
be under any obligation to compromise any right, asset or benefit or to expend any amount or incur any Liability in order to comply with its obligations under this Section 5.13 for which they are not reimbursed (other than filing and
application fees to Government Entities and payment of Cure Costs for which the Sellers are responsible pursuant to Section 2.1.7). 
 (h) Each of the Purchaser and the Sellers shall, and the Purchaser shall cause any relevant Designated Purchaser and the Sellers shall cause any Subsidiary (other than the EMEA Sellers) to, use reasonable
efforts and work cooperatively in good faith to facilitate the Purchaser’s negotiation with the counter-party to any Inbound License Agreement or any Cross-License Agreement listed in Section 5.13(h) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule
that, in each case, is not a Seller Contract and is not assigned to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser to obtain rights for the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser to use the Intellectual Property that is licensed to the Sellers or a Subsidiary
under such Inbound License Agreement or Cross-License Agreement, or, if that negotiation is unsuccessful, the Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to provide the same interests, benefits, and rights under such Inbound License Agreement or such
Cross-License Agreement, in each case, as reasonably necessary to effectively operate the Business from and after Closing, including in the case of the Sellers requesting Consent to the grant of such rights from the relevant third party;
provided, however, that the Sellers shall be under no obligation to seek any such Consent prior to the completion of the Auction or to compromise any right, asset, or benefit (including relinquishment of rights outside the Exclusive Purchaser
Field, as defined in the Intellectual Property License Agreement) or to expend any amount or incur any Liability or provide any other consideration in complying with its obligations under this Section 5.13(h). 
  

 114 








 SECTION 5.14. Bundled Contracts; Selected Rejected Customer
Contracts. 
 (a) Subject to applicable Law, each of the Purchaser and the Sellers shall, and the Purchaser shall cause any
relevant Designated Purchaser, as applicable, to, use its reasonable best efforts to, at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, enter into arrangements with the counterparty to each Contract that provides for the sale or
provision of Products and/or Services and the sale or provision of other products and/or services of the Sellers or their Affiliates and is listed in Section 5.14 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule (a “Bundled Contract”), to
amend such Bundled Contract so as to delete all obligations and Liabilities therefrom as they relate to the Products and the Services and enter into a new Contract (effective as of, and conditioned upon the occurrence of, the Closing) with the
applicable customer and which only relates to Products and Services and, unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser, is on commercially reasonable terms that are consistent with contract terms that the Purchaser generally offers to similarly situated
customers, in which event such new Contract shall be deemed to be a Seller Contract; provided, however, that the Sellers shall be under no obligation to compromise any right, asset or benefit or to expend any amount or incur any Liability in
obtaining such arrangements with respect to any Bundled Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the failure to enter into such arrangements shall not entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement, not to complete the
transactions contemplated hereby or reduce the Purchase Price payable hereunder. The Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts not to enter into any Bundled Contracts after the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall
the Purchaser be required to enter into any new customer contract (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a customer contract that relates to an SI/SP Contract) or, pursuant to Section 5.14(b), any Subcontract with any customer that requires
the Purchaser to deliver products and services of the Sellers other than the Products and the Services. 
 (b) Subject to
applicable Law, for those Bundled Contracts that are not Post-Signing Customer Contracts and for which the arrangements mentioned in Section 5.14(a) could not be entered into fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date:
(i) if requested by the Purchaser, the Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to facilitate the entry by the Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchaser and the other party to each such Bundled Contract into a new Contract that only
relates to Products and/or Services, and (ii) the Sellers and the Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in any commercially reasonable arrangement to provide the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, as applicable, with the
same interest, benefits, rights and Liabilities (including obligations relating to warranties and Known Product Defects (as defined in the Nortel Accounting Principles)) as the applicable Seller had immediately prior to the Closing under any such
Bundled Contract in so far as they relate to the Business, including by entering into Subcontract Agreements as follows: (A) if the economic and other terms and conditions of the portion of any such Bundled Contract that relate to the Business
(the “Enterprise Portion”) can be reasonably identified and the Enterprise Portion meets the Pre-Signing Inclusion Criteria for Major Customer Contracts, the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser shall enter into a Subcontract
Agreement relating to such Enterprise Portion on the same terms as those set forth in the relevant Bundled Contract or (B) if the Enterprise Portion of any such Bundled Contract cannot be reasonably identified or the Enterprise Portion does not
meet the Pre-Signing Inclusion Criteria for Major Customer Contracts the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser and the relevant Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to agree on commercially reasonable terms for the subcontract of such
Enterprise Portion under a

  

 115 








 
Subcontract Agreement and then enter into such Subcontract Agreement, it being understood that the terms of such a Subcontract Agreement shall be considered commercially reasonable if and only if
the terms of such Subcontract Agreement: (1) are at least as favorable to the Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchaser as the terms generally offered by the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries to customers that are similarly situated to the
counterparty to the relevant Bundled Contract and (2) provide for material terms (including any terms addressed by the Pre-Signing Inclusion Criteria for Major Customer Contracts) that are in the aggregate equivalent to, or better than, the
material terms associated with the relevant Bundled Contract or the Enterprise Portion thereof; provided that (w) nothing in this Section 5.14 shall require the Sellers to renew any Bundled Contract once it has expired, (x) the
Sellers shall have the right, any time after the expiration of the Transition Services Agreement, to exercise any right to terminate any Bundled Contract and (y) the Sellers shall be under no obligation with respect to the Enterprise Portion of
any Bundled Contract that is, or is to be, subcontracted hereunder to compromise any right, asset or benefit or to expend any amount or incur any Liability in order to comply with its obligations under this sentence for which they are not reimbursed
(other than filing and application fees to Government Entities, payment of Cure Costs for which the Sellers are responsible pursuant to Section 2.1.7). Any Subcontract Agreement entered into pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above shall
not require the Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser to perform under such Subcontract Agreement to the extent that the TSA Sellers are in material breach of their obligation to perform services under the Transition Services Agreement and such
breach frustrates the Purchaser’s ability to perform and (y) permit the Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser to terminate such subcontract upon the earliest of (i) in the case of a Subcontract Agreement described in clause
(A) above, twelve (12) months from the Closing Date and in the case of a Subcontract Agreement described in clause (B) above, six (6) months from the Closing Date, (ii) the expiration of the relevant Bundled Contract
(without giving effect to any extension of the term thereof other than at the option of the counterparty thereto), (iii) the earliest date on which the relevant Seller has the right to terminate the relevant Bundled Contract without penalty or
(iv) the date on which the relevant Bundled Contract is terminated by the counterparty thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall be allowed to refuse to enter into a Subcontract Agreement relating to a Bundled Contract if
(i) the Purchaser offers to contract directly with the counterparty to such Bundled Contract on commercially reasonable terms that are consistent with contract terms that the Purchaser generally offers to similarly situated customers or
(ii) the Purchaser has an existing contract with the counterparty to such Bundled Contract and offers to provide the applicable Products and/or Services under such Bundled Contract through Purchaser’s existing contract and pursuant to the
terms thereof; provided that, in each of clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence, the counterparty to the relevant Bundled Contract accepts the offer from the Purchaser and releases in writing the relevant Seller from any obligation to
perform and any other Liability under the Enterprise Portion of the relevant Bundled Contract. 
 (c) At least thirty
(30) days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers will deliver to the Purchaser a list of those Rejected Customer Contracts, if any, that the Sellers want the Purchaser to perform on a subcontract basis after Closing (the “Selected
Rejected Customer Contracts”); provided that, the Sellers shall not be allowed to include in such list of Selected Rejected Customer Contracts any (i) (A) Rejected Non-365 SI/SP Contract or (B) Rejected Customer
Contract that is an Indirect Customer Contract, which, in each case, (1) if it is a 365

  

 116 








 
Contract, at the time of such inclusion in the list can still be rejected by the relevant U.S. Debtor pursuant to section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or (2) for any Contract, can be
terminated by the relevant Seller at will without penalty, (ii) Customer Contract that has expired pursuant to its terms, (iii) Post-Signing Customer Contract and (iv) any Bundled Contract. Subject to applicable Law, the Purchaser or
a Designated Purchaser and the relevant Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to enter into Subcontract Agreements under which the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser would provide products or services required by the terms of the relevant
Selected Rejected Customer Contract, provided that, 
 (x) for each Selected Rejected Contract designated by
Purchaser as Type I (the “Type I Rejected Contracts”), the Subcontract Agreement shall (1) provide for financial terms, including price, volume and discount terms that are at least as favorable to the Purchaser or the
Designated Purchaser as the relevant Type I Rejected Contract, (2) provide for non-financial terms, including liquidated damages, renewal, limitation of liability and indemnification provisions that are at least as favorable to the Purchaser or
the relevant Designated Purchaser as the terms generally offered by the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries to customers that are similarly situated to the counterparty to the relevant Type I Rejected Contract and under no circumstances shall the
Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser be bound to, obligated under or otherwise face any Liability or Loss pursuant to the terms of the relevant Type I Rejected Contract addressing or relating to any non-financial terms, and (3) permit the
Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser to terminate such Subcontract Agreement upon the earliest of (A) six (6) months from the Closing Date, (B) the expiration of the relevant Type I Rejected Contract (without giving effect to any
extension of the term thereof other than at the option of the counterparty thereto), (C) the earliest date on which the relevant Seller has the right to terminate the relevant Type I Rejected Contract without penalty or (D) the date on
which the relevant Type I Rejected Contract is terminated by the counterparty thereto; or 
 (y) for each
Selected Rejected Contract designated by Purchaser as Type II (the “Type II Rejected Contracts”), the Subcontract Agreement shall be entered into on commercially reasonable terms, (1) it being understood that the terms of any
such Subcontract Agreement shall be considered commercially reasonable if and only if the terms of such Subcontract Agreement: (A) are at least as favorable to the Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchaser as the terms generally offered by
the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries to customers that are similarly situated to the counterparty to the relevant Type II Rejected Contract, (B) provide for terms that are in the aggregate equivalent to, or better for the Purchaser or the relevant
Designated Purchaser than, the material terms associated with the Type II Rejected Contract and (C) permit the Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser to terminate such Subcontract Agreement upon the earliest of (i) six (6) months from
the Closing Date, (ii) the expiration of the relevant Type II Rejected Contract (without giving effect to any extension of the term thereof other than at the option of the counterparty thereto), (iii) the earliest date on which the
relevant Seller has the right to terminate the relevant Type II

  

 117 








 
Rejected Contract without penalty or (iv) the date on which the relevant Type II Rejected Contract is terminated by the counterparty thereto. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.14(c) any Subcontract Agreement entered into pursuant to this clause
5.14(c) shall not require the Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser to perform under such Subcontract Agreement to the extent that the TSA Sellers are in material breach of their obligation to perform services under the Transition Services Agreement
and such breach frustrates the Purchaser’s ability to perform. In addition to the foregoing, the Purchaser shall be allowed to refuse to enter into a Subcontract Agreement relating to a Selected Rejected Customer Contract if (a) the
Purchaser offers to contract directly with the counterparty to such Selected Rejected Customer Contract on commercially reasonable terms that are consistent with contract terms that the Purchaser generally offers to similarly situated customers or
(b) the Purchaser has an existing contract with the counterparty to such Selected Rejected Customer Contract and offers to provide the applicable Products and/or Services under such Selected Rejected Customer Contract through Purchaser’s
existing contract with that counterparty and pursuant to the terms thereof; provided that, in each of clauses (a) and (b) of this sentence, the relevant counterparty to the Selected Rejected Customer Contract accepts the offer from the
Purchaser and releases in writing the relevant Seller from any obligation to perform and any other Liability under the relevant Selected Rejected Customer Contract. 
 SECTION 5.15. Post-Closing Assistance for Litigation. 
 (a) After the
Closing, the Purchaser shall, upon the request of the Sellers, and at no cost to the Sellers (other than reimbursement of out of pocket expenses), make the Transferred Employees available at reasonable times and cooperate in all reasonable respects
with the Sellers and their Affiliates in the preparation for, and defense of, any lawsuit, arbitration or other Action (whether disclosed or not disclosed in the Sellers Disclosure Schedule) filed or claimed against the Sellers or any of their
Affiliates or any of the respective agents, directors, officers and employees of the Sellers and their Affiliates, whether currently pending or asserted in the future, concerning the operation or conduct of the Business prior to the Closing Date;
provided, however, that the obligations of the Purchasers or their Affiliates hereunder shall only extend to the employees of such Purchasers or Purchasers’ Affiliates as of the date such employees are to be made available and shall not
apply to former employees of such Purchaser or Purchaser’s Affiliates that have been terminated prior to such date. 
 (b)
After the Closing, the Sellers and their Affiliates shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, and at no cost to the Purchaser or its Affiliates (other than reimbursement of out of pocket expenses), make employees of the Sellers or their Affiliates
and all necessary documents available at reasonable times and cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Purchaser and its Affiliates in the preparation for, and defense of, any lawsuit, arbitration or other Action filed or claimed against the
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of the respective agents, directors, officers and employees of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, whether currently pending or asserted in the future, concerning the operation or conduct of the Business prior
to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the obligations of the Sellers or their Affiliates hereunder shall only extend to the employees of such Sellers or Sellers’ Affiliates as of the date such employees are to

  

 118 








 
be made available and shall not apply to former employees of such Sellers or Seller’s Affiliates that have been terminated prior to such date. 
 SECTION 5.16. Tangible Asset Removal. 
 (a) The Purchaser shall, and shall cause the relevant Designated Purchasers to, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, relocate all tangible Assets and Purchaser’s activities from all
premises owned or leased by the Sellers or their Affiliates after the Closing (other than those premises to be occupied by the Purchaser or any Designated Purchasers after the Closing Date pursuant to the provisions of the Real Estate Agreements,
the Assumed and Assigned Contracts, and the Company Leases) with Sellers’ cooperation; provided, however, that, subject to receipt of landlord Consent where required (it being agreed that Sellers shall only be obligated to use
commercially reasonable efforts, without incurring any third-party costs, to obtain any such required Consents) and subject to Purchaser’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to vacate all such premises as soon as reasonably
practicable regardless of the length of the Applicable Transitional Occupancy Period, the Purchaser shall be permitted to remain in occupancy, pursuant to the terms of customary forms of license agreements reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and
Sellers, at those premises identified in Section 5.16(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule (to the extent such premises are not to be occupied by the Purchaser or any Designated Purchasers after the Closing Date pursuant to the provisions of
the Real Estate Agreements, the Assumed and Assigned Contracts, and the Company Leases), for, in each instance, the Applicable Transitional Occupancy Period, subject to the following conditions: 
 (i) in all instances other than the properties identified in Section 5.16(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule,
Sellers’ obligation to make any space available to the Purchaser or any other party on the date of or following Closing shall be subject to Sellers’ right to implement their global real estate strategy, as such strategy develops over time,
and in connection therewith to dispose of or retain real estate assets as the Sellers deem appropriate in their sole discretion and the Sellers shall have no liability to the Purchaser or any other party resulting from the implementation of the
Sellers’ real estate strategy as contemplated hereby; provided that, if the Sellers exercise their right to dispose of any real estate asset prior to the earlier of (A) the date on which the Purchaser vacates the related property at
its own election and (B) the expiration of the Applicable Transitional Occupancy Period, the Sellers shall give the Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchaser reasonable prior notice of such disposal and a reasonable opportunity to remove
the Assets located thereon; and provided further that such notice from the Sellers shall in no event be given later than the Applicable Latest Termination Notification Date. 
 (ii) The Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchasers shall only be entitled to remain in occupancy of the premises
identified in Section 5.16(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule during the Applicable Transitional Occupancy Period so long as the Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchasers (1) in the case of any real property identified in
Section 5.16(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule which is leased by a Seller as a tenant, compensates Sellers for Sellers’ actual, out of pocket rent and other occupancy costs with respect to either, as indicated in

  

 119 








 
Section 5.16(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, (A) the space actually being occupied by the Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser or (B) the entire premises subject to the
applicable real estate lease, and in either case indemnifies the Seller for any liability or damages resulting from the Purchaser’s or such Designated Purchaser’s continued occupancy from the Closing Date through the date upon which the
Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser actually surrenders such property in accordance with the requirements of the license agreement referenced above, and (2) in the case of any real property identified in Section 5.16 of the Sellers
Disclosure Schedule which is owned by a Seller, compensates Sellers for the Purchaser’s or such Designated Purchaser’s occupancy of such property by paying fair market rental for such portion of the property that the Purchaser or such
Designated Purchaser is actually occupying and indemnifying Seller for any liability or damages resulting from the Purchaser’s occupancy. 
 (iii) In any circumstance where a landlord’s Consent is required to permit the Purchaser’s continued occupancy of premises identified in Section 5.16(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule
during the Applicable Transitional Occupancy Period and Sellers have been unable, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, to procure such Consent prior to the Closing Date, (A) the Purchaser shall not have the right to continue in
occupancy of such premises and, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Applicable Transitional Occupancy Period shall not extend beyond the Closing Date and (B) the Sellers will cooperate with the Purchaser, at the
Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to provide access to the applicable premises for the purpose of expediting the Purchaser’s removal of assets therefrom; provided that the Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser) shall
perform all obligations and covenants set forth in this Section 5.16 with respect to such premises for so long as its property remains in such premises and provided further that neither any Seller nor any Affiliate of any Seller shall
have any liability to the Purchaser (or a Designated Purchaser) for the refusal by any landlord to grant a consent to any transitional occupancy by the Purchaser (or a Designated Purchaser). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 5.16 shall require any Seller to renew or extend the term of any lease once it has by its terms expired. The Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser, as applicable, shall hold each Seller harmless from and against all Liabilities,
incurred or asserted, as a result of any actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.16. 
 (iv) To the extent
that the Sellers elect to, prior to Closing, terminate a Lease or otherwise dispose of real property which is not included among the Assets and which is neither an Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease nor a Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease and
at which Owned Equipment is located and which is not identified in Section 5.16(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, the Sellers shall provide the Purchaser reasonable prior notice of such termination or disposal (provided that such
notice from the Sellers shall in no event be given later than the Applicable Latest Termination Notification Date) and, following receipt of such notice, the Purchaser shall be permitted reasonable access to the real property for not less than ten
(10) Business Days after receipt of the

  

 120 








 
termination notice to identify any Assets acquired hereunder located at the subject premises. The Sellers agree that they will remove and store such Assets at the Seller’s sole cost until
delivery to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser at Closing (it being understood that Sellers shall not be obligated to remove trade fixtures or fixtures, furniture, furnishings or fittings from any such real property or to store the same or to
deliver the same at any point to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser unless the same are included in the Assets and are specifically identified by the Purchaser for removal). It is further agreed that transfer of any Assets stored in accordance
herewith may be made by delivery of a receipt from any warehouse or storage facility entitling the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser to retrieve all such Assets and the Purchaser shall be responsible for the cost of delivering such Assets to the
Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser on or after the Closing Date. In the event the Purchaser fails to identify any Assets that it wishes to have stored, the Sellers shall be entitled to abandon or otherwise dispose of such Assets in their sole
discretion without any liability to the Purchaser. 
 (v) The Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchaser
shall surrender any such premises in substantially the same condition in which the Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser received it (with the Assets removed and broom clean). 
 (b) The Sellers shall, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, relocate all the Excluded Assets and Seller’s activities
from all owned real property or other leased or subleased real property covered by this Agreement with the Purchaser’s cooperation; provided, however, that, subject to receipt of landlord Consent where required (it being agreed that the
Purchaser shall only be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts, without incurring any third-party costs, to obtain any such required Consents), pursuant to the terms of license agreements referred to in Section 5.16(a) above, the
Sellers shall have up to six (6) months after the date of the Closing to relocate all the Excluded Assets and Sellers’ activities from the premises listed in Section 5.16(b) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, subject to the following
conditions: 
 (i) in all instances other than in the case of the premises shown on Section 5.16(b) of the
Sellers Disclosure Schedule, the Purchaser’s obligation to make any space available to the Sellers or any other party on the date of or following Closing shall be subject to the Purchaser’s right to implement its global real estate
strategy, as such strategy develops over time, and in connection therewith to dispose of or retain real estate assets as the Purchaser deems appropriate in its sole discretion and the Purchaser shall have no liability to the Sellers or any other
party resulting from the implementation of the Sellers’ real estate strategy as contemplated hereby; provided that if the Purchaser exercises its right to dispose of real estate assets prior to the earlier of (A) the date on which
Sellers vacate the related property at their own election and (B) the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing, in the case of any real property identified in Section 5.16(b) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, or thirty
(30) days after the Closing Date in the case of any other real property, the Purchaser shall give the Sellers

  

 121 








 
reasonable notice, not less than thirty (30) days, of such disposal and a reasonable opportunity to remove the Excluded Assets located thereon; 
 (ii) the Sellers shall only be entitled to remain in occupancy of the premises identified in Section 5.16(b) of the
Sellers Disclosure Schedule for periods of up to six (6) months from the date of Closing so long as the Sellers (1) in the case of any real property identified in Section 5.16(b) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule which is leased by
the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser as a tenant, compensates the Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser for the Purchaser’s or such Designated Purchaser’s actual, out of pocket rent and other occupancy costs with respect to the space
actually being occupied by the Seller and indemnifies the Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser for any liability or damages resulting from the Seller’s continued occupancy from the Closing Date through the date upon which Seller actually
surrenders such property in accordance with the requirements of the license agreement referenced above, and (2) in the case of any real property identified in Section 5.16(b) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule which is owned by the
Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, compensates the Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser for the Seller’s occupancy of such property by paying fair market rental for such portion of the property that Seller is actually occupying and
indemnifying the Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser for any liability or damages resulting from the Seller’s occupancy; 
 (iii) in any circumstance where a landlord’s Consent is required to permit a Seller’s occupancy of premises identified in Section 5.16(b) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule for up to six
(6) months following the Closing Date and the Purchaser has been unable, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, to procure such Consent prior to the Closing Date, (A) the relevant Seller shall not have the right to continue in
occupancy of such premises beyond the Closing Date and (B) the Purchaser will cooperate with the Sellers, at Sellers’ sole cost and expense, to provide access to the applicable premises for the purpose of expediting Sellers’ removal
of assets therefrom; provided that the relevant Seller shall perform all obligations and covenants set forth in this Section 5.16(b) with respect to such premises for so long as its property remains in such premises and provided
further that neither the Purchaser nor any Designated Purchaser nor any Affiliate of any either shall have any liability to any Seller for the refusal by any landlord to grant a consent to any transitional occupancy by a Seller. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.16 shall require the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser to renew or extend the term of any lease once it has by its terms expired. The relevant Seller shall hold the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser
harmless from and against all Liabilities, incurred or asserted, as a result of any actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.16; and 
 (iv) the Sellers shall surrender any such premises in the substantially the same condition in which the Sellers received it (with the Excluded Assets removed and broom clean). 
  

 122 








 (c) In furtherance of the foregoing Sections 5.16(a) and 5.16(b), the Sellers and the
Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to agree on reasonable transition arrangements that provide for reasonable conditions under which each party shall vacate those premises intended to be used exclusively by the other party after the Closing
Date. 
 (d) From the date hereof until the Closing Date, in addition to providing the reasonable notice specified above of
Sellers’ intent to reject or otherwise terminate any 365 Real Estate Leases, any Non-365 Real Estate Leases and any other leases where Assets are located, Sellers shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of any activities at any of the premises
subject to a Real Estate Lease that may impact the transition arrangements. Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate to plan reasonable transition arrangements at the real property listed in Sections 5.16(a) and 5.16(b) of the Sellers Disclosure
Schedule as well as other real property subject to this Agreement, in accordance with the principles set forth in this Section 5.16. 
 SECTION 5.17. Termination of Overhead and Shared Services. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Transition Services Agreement, effective as
of the Closing Date (i) all Overhead and Shared Services provided to the Business or the Companies (except the Transferred Overhead and Shared Services) shall cease and (ii) the Sellers or their Affiliates shall have no further obligation
to provide any Overhead and Shared Services to the Companies and/or the Business. 
 SECTION 5.18. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 5.19. Cancellation of Intercompany Accounts. The Sellers shall procure that all payables and/or receivables between
the Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Companies), on the one hand, and the Companies, on the other hand, be cancelled without payment prior to or as of the Closing Date. 
 SECTION 5.20. Directors’ and Officers’ Release, Indemnification and Insurance. 
 (a) The Purchaser shall cause the Companies to irrevocably release and discharge, effective as of the Closing Date, the directors and
officers of the Companies holding office as of the Closing Date and any former director or officer of the Companies from and against any and all past, existing or future, claims, demands, obligations and Liabilities, whether known or unknown,
suspected or unsuspected, at law or in equity, arising from or related to any act or omission by any of those individuals in their capacity of directors or officers of the Companies prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that nothing
herein shall release or discharge the directors and officers of the Companies of any criminal acts, fraud or other intentional malfeasance contrary to the interests of the Companies. 
 (b) The Purchaser further agrees that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of the
current or former directors, officers or employees, as the case may be, of the Companies as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or by-laws or other similar constituent documents or in the agreements listed on Section 5.20
of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule shall continue in full force and effect after the Closing. For a period of 6 years from the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Companies

  

 123 








 
to (i) maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of any Company’s certificates of incorporation and by-laws or similar constituent
documents as in effect on the date hereof or in any indemnification agreements listed on Section 5.20 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely
affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Closing Date were current or former directors, officers or employees of the Companies; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any actual or threatened
Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Companies to honor, in accordance with
their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 5.20 without limit as to time. 
 (c) From and
after the Closing, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Companies to, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing) each current and former director or
officer of the Companies (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Person”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance
of the final disposition of any claim or Action to each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by Law), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, Liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any Action, arising out of,
relating to or in connection with any such Person’s service as a director or officer of the Companies or services performed in connection with such Person’s serving as an officer or director or other fiduciary in any entity if such service
was at the request or for the benefit of the Companies, in each case, at or prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Indemnified Expenses”); provided, however, that the Purchaser and the Companies shall not be liable for
any settlement effected without their prior written consent and the Purchaser and the Companies shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (selected by a plurality of the applicable Indemnified Persons and
reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser or the Companies, as applicable) for all Indemnified Persons in any jurisdiction with respect to any single such claim or Action, unless the use of one counsel for such Indemnified Persons would present such
counsel with a conflict of interest that would make such joint representation inappropriate. In the event of any such Action, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Companies to, reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Person in the defense of
any such Action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall require the Purchaser to, or cause the Companies to, reasonably cooperate with or indemnify and hold harmless any current or former director or officer of a Company against any
Indemnified Expenses arising out of, relating to or in connection with any criminal acts, fraud or other intentional malfeasance contrary to the interests of such Company. 
 (d) The Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Companies to, obtain, effective as of the Closing Date, “tail” insurance policies
with a claims period of at least six years from the Closing Date with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance of the type and with an amount of coverage as are substantially similar to those of the directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance maintained as of the date hereof by the Sellers and the Companies (the “Current Policies”), and with such other terms as are no less favorable than those of the Current Policies; provided
that, in satisfying such obligation, the Companies shall not be obligated to pay aggregate premiums in excess of 225% of the aggregate per annum amount that the Sellers or the

  

 124 








 
Companies paid for such coverage of such directors’ and officers’ liability under the Current Policies in the last full year prior to the date hereof, it being understood and agreed
that the Companies shall nevertheless be obligated to provide the maximum coverage as may be obtained for such amount. 
 (e)
The Purchaser shall cause the Companies to pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Person in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in Section 5.20.

 (f) The rights of each Indemnified Person hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such
Indemnified Person may have under the certificates of incorporation or by-laws or other constituent documents of the Companies, any other indemnification arrangement, the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise. The provisions of this
Section 5.20 expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons. 
 (g) In the
event the Purchaser or any Company 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 in such consolidation or merger or
(ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Purchaser or the Companies shall assume the obligations
set forth in this Section 5.20. 
 SECTION 5.21. Insurance Matters. 
 (a) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that coverage of the assets, tangible or intangible property, Liabilities, ownership, activities,
businesses, operations, current and former shareholders, and current and former directors, officers, employees and agents of, the Business and the Companies (collectively with the Business and the Companies, the “Covered Assets and
Persons”) under all current or previous insurance policies of the Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Companies), including all environmental, directors’ and officers’ Liability, fiduciary Liability, employed lawyers,
property and casualty flood, ocean marine, and contaminated products insurance policies and all other insurance policies or programs arranged or otherwise provided or made available by the Sellers or their Affiliates (other than the Companies) that
cover (or covered) any of the Covered Assets and Persons at any time prior to the Closing (the “Seller Insurance Policies”) shall cease as of the Closing Date and the Covered Assets and Persons will be deleted in all respects as
insured (or additional insured, as the case may be) under all Seller Insurance Policies. Except to the extent provided in Section 2.1.1(p) or Section 5.21(c), the Sellers shall retain any rights to, including any right to any proceeds
received in respect of, any claim pending as of the date hereof or made after the date hereof under any Seller Insurance Policy, even if such claims relates to the capital assets or properties of the Business or the Companies. 
 (b) If after the Closing Date the Purchaser or the Sellers (or any of their respective Affiliates) reasonably require any information
regarding claim data or other information pertaining to a claim or an occurrence reasonably likely to give rise to a claim (including any pre-Closing claims under the Seller Insurance Policies that are to be covered

  

 125 








 
under the retrospective component of the new insurance policy) in order to give notice to or make filings with insurance carriers or claims adjustors or administrators or to adjust, administer or
otherwise manage a claim, then the Sellers or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall cause such information to be supplied to the other (or their designee), to the extent such information is in their possession and control or can be reasonably
obtained by the Sellers or the Purchaser (or their respective Affiliates), as applicable, promptly upon a written request therefore. If the Purchaser desires access to, and utilization of, claims data or information maintained by an insurance
company or other Third Party in respect of any claim (including any pre-Closing claims under any Seller Insurance Policies that are covered under the retrospective component of the new insurance policies), the Purchaser shall be exclusively
responsible for acquiring from such insurance company or Third Party, at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, the rights necessary to permit them to obtain access to and utilization of such claims data or information. If any Third Party
requires the consent of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates to the disclosure of such information, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) Prior to Closing, the Sellers shall at all times maintain their current property insurance in respect of the Included Real Estate and the Owned Equipment (including buildings, equipment, leasehold
improvements and business interruption) and make and diligently pursue any applicable insurance claims related to damage or destruction to any Owned Equipment wherever located, or any damage or destruction to improvements or leasehold improvements
owned by, or the responsibility of, the Sellers and located at or on any Included Real Estate, it being acknowledged that the insurance provisions in the relevant Real Estate Leases will apply where damage or destruction has occurred to the extent
applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: 
 (i) if and to the extent that any
Owned Equipment, wherever located, is destroyed or damaged prior to Closing, and is not replaced or repaired or restored to its condition prior to such damage or destruction, then at Closing, the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of any
net insurance proceeds received in respect of such Owned Equipment (excluding any insurance proceeds related to business interruption insurance) that have not been applied to repair, replacement or restoration, as applicable, and assign any such
claim and the rights to receive the proceeds of any such claim that has not yet been finally adjusted; 
 (ii) if
and to the extent that the Owned Real Estate is destroyed or damaged prior to Closing and is not replaced or repaired or restored to its condition prior to such damage or destruction, then at Closing, the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser the
amount of any net insurance proceeds received in respect of such Owned Real Estate (excluding any proceeds related to business interruption insurance) that have not been applied to repair, replacement or restoration, as applicable, and assign any
such claim and the rights to receive the proceeds of any such claim that has not yet been finally adjusted; 
 (iii) if and to the extent that any leasehold improvements at any property that is subject to a Designated 365 Real Estate Lease, Designated Non-365 Real Estate Lease, or Company Lease are destroyed or damaged prior to Closing and are not
replaced or repaired or restored to their condition prior to

  

 126 








 
such damage or destruction, then at Closing, with respect to any such leasehold improvements (excluding any proceeds related to business interruption insurance), the Sellers shall pay to the
Purchaser the amount of any net insurance proceeds received in respect of such leasehold improvements that have not been applied to repair, replacement or restoration, as applicable, and assign any such claim and the rights to receive the proceeds
of any such claim that has not yet been finally adjusted; 
 (iv) if and to the extent that any improvements or
leasehold improvements at any property that is subject to a Sublease are destroyed or damaged prior to Closing, to the extent of the receipt of insurance proceeds (excluding any proceeds related to business interruption insurance) and subject to the
terms of the overlease, the Sellers shall be responsible to the extent required under the terms of the Sublease (as if the Sublease were in effect prior to Closing and as if the sublandlord were obligated to restore such improvements and leasehold
improvements under the Sublease, unless and to the extent the prime landlord is expressly obligated to restore such improvements under the terms of the overlease), to restore the applicable improvements and leasehold improvements to the condition
prior to such damage or destruction. To the extent that any property subject to a Sublease is destroyed or damaged after Closing, the applicable terms of the Sublease shall apply; and 
 (v) if and to the extent that any Direct Lease Real Estate is destroyed or damaged prior to Closing, to the extent of the
receipt of insurance proceeds (excluding any proceeds related to business interruption insurance), the Sellers shall be responsible to the extent required under the terms of the Direct Lease (as if the Direct Lease were in effect prior to Closing
and as if the landlord were required to restore tenant improvements in the same manner as other improvements) to restore the applicable improvements and leasehold improvements to the condition prior to such damage or destruction. To the extent that
any Direct Lease Real Estate is destroyed or damaged after Closing, the applicable terms of the Direct Lease shall apply. 
 SECTION 5.22. Sellers Deposits, Guarantees and Other Credit Support of the Business. Following the Closing, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause a Designated Purchaser to: 
 (a) procure the return and/or release by the applicable counterparty, as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than thirty
(30) days after the Closing Date, of: 
 (i) any lease security deposits given by the Sellers under those
real estate leases listed in Section 5.22(a)(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule that are Assigned Contracts that have not been set off or otherwise applied by the holders thereof (the “Security Deposits”); and 
 (ii) any guarantee, counter guarantee or credit support provided or procured by, or any letter of credit, performance bond or
surety posted or procured by, any Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Companies) or any

  

 127 








 
Third Party on behalf (and with a counter guarantee of) the Sellers in favor of Third Parties, securing Liabilities of the Business under the Assigned Contracts or Liabilities of the Companies;
provided that the obligations of Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser under this Section 5.22(a)(ii) shall be limited, in the case of any Real Estate Lease, to guaranties, credit support, letters of credit, performance bonds and
sureties identified in Section 5.22(a)(ii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule; 
 (b) if the Security Deposits are not
released or returned to the relevant Seller within thirty (30) days from Closing, pay to the relevant Seller an amount equal to such outstanding Security Deposits (in which case, effective upon such payment, the relevant Seller hereby assigns
to the Purchaser any right or credit against the relevant lessor relating to such Security Deposit); and 
 (c) hold harmless
the Sellers and their Affiliates from and against any Loss resulting from, or relating to, any obligation set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.22. 
 SECTION 5.23. Use of Sellers’ Trademarks. Except as expressly provided in the Trademark License Agreement, as of the
Closing Date, neither Purchaser nor the Companies shall have the right to use, and the Purchaser shall cause the Companies to cease and desist from all use of, the name “Nortel” or any Trademarks owned by the Sellers or any of their
Affiliates or any other mark employing the word “Nortel” or any confusingly similar Trademarks to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Sellers’ Trademarks”) and the Purchaser shall cause the Companies to adopt new
Trademarks related thereto which are not confusingly similar to the Sellers’ Trademarks and logos. 
 SECTION 5.24.
Maintenance of Books and Records. 
 (a) After the Closing, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Designated
Purchasers and the Companies to, preserve, until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (or such longer period as may be required under applicable Law), all pre-Closing Date records to the extent relating to the Business possessed or
to be possessed by such Person. After the Closing Date and until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (or such longer period as may be required under applicable Law), upon any reasonable request from the Sellers or their
representatives, the Purchaser shall, and/or shall cause the Person holding such records to, (a) provide to the Sellers or their representatives reasonable access to such records during normal business hours and (b) permit the Sellers or
their representatives to make copies of such records, in each case at no cost to the Sellers or their representatives (other than for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses). In addition, in the event that the financial statements of the Business or the
Companies are audited for any period prior to the Closing Date, upon execution of a customary access letter if required, the Sellers and their representatives (including their outside accountants) shall be granted access to all relevant work papers,
schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared by the Companies or their representatives (including outside accountants) in connection with the Sellers’ completing the audit of their accounts for the 2009 fiscal year; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall require the Purchaser to disclose any information to the Sellers if such disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or agreement (it
being understood that the

  

 128 








 
Purchaser shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests that would enable otherwise required disclosure to the Sellers to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such
Law, duty or agreement) or require the Purchaser to disclose its Tax records. Such records may be sought under this Section 5.24 for any reasonable purpose, including to the extent reasonably required in connection with accounting, litigation,
federal securities disclosure or other similar needs of the Sellers (other than claims between the Sellers and the Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) any and all such records may be destroyed by the Purchaser if the Purchaser sends to the Sellers written notice of its intent to destroy such records, specifying in reasonable detail the contents of the records to be destroyed; such records
may then be destroyed after the sixtieth (60th) day following such notice unless the Sellers notify the destroying party that the Sellers desire to obtain possession of such records, in which event the Purchaser shall transfer or cause to be
transferred the records to the Sellers and the Sellers shall pay all reasonable expenses of the Purchaser in connection therewith and (ii) the Purchaser shall not be required to provide the Sellers access to, or copies of, any Tax records or
audited financial statements covering any pre-Closing period. 
 (b) After the Closing, Sellers shall preserve, until the fifth
(5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (or such longer period as may be required under applicable Law), all pre-Closing Date records to the extent relating to the Business possessed or to be possessed by such Person. After the Closing Date and
until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (or such longer period as may be required under applicable Law), upon any reasonable request from the Purchaser, any Designated Purchaser or their respective representatives, the relevant
Seller shall, and/or shall cause the Person holding such records to, (a) provide to the Purchaser, any Designated Purchaser or their respective representatives reasonable access to such records during normal business hours and (b) permit
the Purchaser, any Designated Purchaser or their respective representatives to make copies of such records, in each case at no cost to the Purchaser, such Designated Purchaser or their respective representatives (other than for reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses); provided, however, that nothing herein shall require any Seller to disclose any information to the Purchaser, any Designated Purchaser or their respective representatives if such disclosure would jeopardize any
attorney-client or other legal privilege or contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or agreement (it being understood that the Sellers shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests that would enable otherwise required disclosure to
the Purchaser, any Designated Purchaser or their respective representatives to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, duty or agreement) or require the Sellers to disclose their Tax records. Such records may be sought
under this Section 5.24(b) for any reasonable purpose, including to the extent reasonably required in connection with accounting, litigation, federal securities disclosure or other similar needs of the Purchaser, any Designated Purchaser or
their respective representatives (other than claims between the Sellers and the Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any and all such records may
be destroyed by the Sellers if the Sellers send to the Purchaser written notice of their intent to destroy such records, specifying in reasonable detail the contents of the records to be destroyed; such records may then be destroyed after the
sixtieth (60th) day following such notice unless the Purchaser notifies the destroying party that the Purchaser desires to obtain possession of such records, in which event the Sellers shall transfer or cause to be transferred the records to
the Purchaser and

  

 129 








 
the Purchaser shall pay all reasonable expenses of the Sellers in connection therewith and (ii) the Sellers shall not be required to provide the Purchaser, any Designated Purchaser or their
respective representatives access to, or copies of, any Tax records or audited financial statements covering any pre-Closing period. 
 SECTION 5.25. Right to Exclude. 
 (a) At any time from the execution
of this Agreement until the end of the Contract Review Period, the Purchaser may elect, by written notice to the Main Sellers, but without any effect on the Purchase Price or the Purchaser’s obligation to offer employment to at least the
numbers of Employees set out in Section 7.1.1 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, to designate as Excluded Assets all of the assets, interests and rights of any Excludable Other Seller if (i) such Excludable Other Seller is listed on
Section 5.25(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, or (ii) it is the case that, absent such election, by consummating the transactions contemplated hereby, the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser would succeed to an Undisclosed Material
Liability of such Excludable Other Seller or an Undisclosed Material Liability of such Excludable Other Seller would be transferred to or assumed by the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser (any such Excludable Other Seller so designated by the
Purchaser, an “Excluded Other Seller” and, together with any Excluded EMEA Seller, the “Excluded Sellers”), whereupon such assets, interests and rights shall be Excluded Assets and any Liabilities to the extent
arising from or related to such assets, interests or rights shall be Excluded Liabilities, and such Excluded Other Seller shall not be a Party to this Agreement, shall not be an Other Seller, and shall have no rights or obligations hereunder,
provided that (x) each Excluded Other Seller shall remain bound by the provisions of Article X, (y) the Data Inventory Floor, the Voice Inventory Floor, the Spares and Services Inventory Floor, the Inventory Value, the Sellers
Inventory Schedule and the revenue assumptions presented in the Sellers Forecast set forth in Section 1.1(d)(ii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule shall be adjusted after the end of the Contract Review Period to reflect the exclusion of the
relevant revenues and inventory of the Excluded Sellers, and (z) and each Excluded Other Seller shall retain the right to designate (A) any Customer Contracts to which it is a party that was entered into in the Ordinary Course and meets
the requirements of the first sentence of Section 5.14(c) (other than clause (iii) thereof) as a Selected Rejected Customer Contract entitled to the benefits of Section 5.14(c) and (B) the Enterprise Portion of each Bundled
Contract to which it is a party as an Enterprise Portion entitled to the benefits of Section 5.14(b)(B). In addition to the foregoing, following such election of an Excluded Other Seller by the Purchaser, no Sublease and no license or other
arrangement pursuant to Section 5.16(a) shall be required to be entered into with respect to any premises related to such Excluded Other Seller’s operations prior to the date of the Purchaser’s election. For the avoidance of doubt,
the designation of assets, interests or rights in any country as Excluded Assets shall not in any way prevent the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from engaging in the Business (defined as if such assets, interests or rights were not Excluded
Assets) in such country either before or after the Closing. Any Customer Contract to which any Seller (or any of its Subsidiaries) that is designated as an Excluded Asset is party will be deemed to be a Rejected Customer Contract. If a TSA Seller
becomes an Excluded Other Seller pursuant to this Section 5.25(a), such entity shall not be required to be a party to the Transition Services Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure of any TSA Seller to become party to the Transition
Services Agreement shall not in any way diminish the obligations of the remaining TSA Sellers to provide, or to cause one or more of the Providers (as defined in the Transition

  

 130 








 
Services Agreement) to provide, all Services (as defined therein). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties agree that neither the Included Services nor the Extra Services
shall include any service currently provided by an Excluded Seller unless such service can reasonably be provided by the TSA Sellers without materially changing or burdening the operations of the TSA Sellers. 
 (b) The Main Sellers agree that, as of the Closing, (i) neither any Seller nor any Seller’s Affiliate will be a party to any
Contract with any Excluded Seller that will restrict the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, in any material respect, from engaging after the Closing in any business activity relating to the Business in the country where such Excluded Seller is
located or organized; and (ii) the Sellers and their Affiliates will cease to supply Products or Services or provide other assistance to an Excluded Seller with respect to the Business (except to the extent required in order to allow such
Excluded Seller to continue to perform any obligations under (x) a contract with one of its customers existing as of the date hereof, or (y) a contract with one of its customers entered into after the date hereof but before Closing that
complies with the Post-Signing Inclusion Criteria entered into in the Ordinary Course, in each case which such Excluded Seller is required by such contract to perform until the earliest of (A) the expiration of such contract (without giving
effect to any extension of the term thereof other than at the option of the counterparty thereto), (B) the earliest date on which such Excluded Seller has the right to terminate such contract without penalty or (C) the date on which such
contract is terminated by the counterparty thereto; provided that the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to make Products or Services (or any other products or services) available to the Sellers or their Affiliates or
provide other assistance in connection therewith) and the Purchaser and its Affiliates will have no obligation to supply Products or Services (or any other products or services) or provide other assistance to the Excluded Sellers; provided
that, notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser will, if requested to do so, perform any Subcontracts that it enters into pursuant to Section 5.14(c) or Clause 10.35 of the EMEA Asset Sale
Agreement at the request of an Excluded Seller and the Sellers may be a conduit through which the Purchaser supplies Products or Services to an Excluded Seller. 
 SECTION 5.26. Certain Ancillary Agreements. 
 (a) The Primary Parties
and, to the extent applicable, the relevant EMEA Sellers, shall use their reasonable best efforts to: 
 (i)
negotiate in good faith with the relevant contract manufacturers to finalize the terms of the Contract Manufacturing Inventory Agreements based on the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit E; 
 (ii) negotiate in good faith with the LGN Joint Venture the LGN/Korea Distribution Agreement and the LGN/Korea Supply
Agreement, subject to the Sellers’ production of sufficient information on the relevant entities and documents; and 
 (iii) negotiate in good faith with Uni-Nortel the Uni-Nortel Distribution Agreement, subject to the Sellers’ production of sufficient information on the relevant entities and documents. 

 

 131 








 (b) The Parties and the EMEA Sellers acknowledge that, as of the date hereof, the Business
entertains several bilateral relationships with other businesses, business segments or divisions of certain Sellers for the supply and/or development of products and services (including certain Products and Services). To the extent such
relationships are required to be in place in order to fulfill customer commitments existing as of the Closing Date and which will continue thereafter (for the duration of any individual customer contract including frame contracts), the Primary
Parties and the relevant EMEA Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to negotiate, or to cause to be negotiated, in good faith commercially reasonable terms in order to address the interdependencies among businesses set forth in Exhibit
L, including through a potential Mutual Development Agreement, Purchaser Supply Agreement, Seller Supply Agreement or other appropriate commercial arrangements, and taking into account options available to the Primary Parties. The Primary
Parties shall also use their reasonable best efforts to negotiate in good faith Subcontract Agreements. 
 (c) On or before the
Closing, the relevant Parties shall enter into the Transition Services Agreement, the Intellectual Property License Agreement and the Trademark License Agreement, each in the form attached hereto. 
 (d) Within the earlier of (i) one hundred and five (105) days from the date hereof or (ii) thirty (30) Business Days
prior to the Closing Date, the relevant Parties shall enter into the Loaned Employee Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J. 
 SECTION 5.27. Avoidance Actions. The Sellers covenant that they shall not commence any action under sections 544 through 551, 553 and 558 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code against any customer,
contract party or vendor of the Business. 
 SECTION 5.28. Subleases. 
 (a) For each Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease designated to be subleased pursuant to Section 2.1.5(b) or Non-365 Subleased Real
Estate Lease designated to be subleased pursuant to Section 2.1.6(b), the relevant Seller, as sublandlord, and Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, as subtenant, will enter into a sublease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N (each
such sublease a “Sublease”) at Closing with a term to expire one Business Day prior to the scheduled expiration date of the applicable Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease or Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease (subject to the
provisions of Section 5.31) with respect to the portion of the applicable property to be used by the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser for the Business. 
 (b) The Sellers and the Purchaser will cooperate to determine how to segregate and demise the subleased premises, including the size and configuration of space to be subleased to Purchaser or a Designated
Purchaser (which shall, other than in the case of any Sublease relating to Replacement Lease A (which shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit 5.28(g)), be based upon the contemplated use of the demised premises and employee headcount
reasonably agreed between Purchaser and Sellers on or prior to the Closing Date and shall also take into account the continued marketability and required contiguity of that portion of the premises to be subject to the related Sublease and the
premises not to be subject to the related Sublease) and provide relevant information (subject to confidentiality limitations) on the

  

 132 








 
subleased premises to the other provided that it is understood and agreed that all costs of such segregation and demising will be the sole responsibility of Purchaser (other than in the case of
the Sublease relating to Replacement Lease A (which shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit 5.28(g)) and the Sublease relating to Lease C (which shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit 5.32(c)) and that Purchaser’s plans and
specifications therefor will be subject to Sellers’ reasonable approval. 
 (c) From and after the date hereof and subject
in all cases to Section 5.28(d), Purchaser shall be permitted to contact and have reasonable access to any landlord under the Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Leases or Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Leases for the purpose of
(x) negotiating a direct lease between such landlord and Purchaser or Designated Purchaser for all or a portion of the space covered or reasonably anticipated to be covered by the relevant Sublease, (y) recognition and non-disturbance
protections for the benefit of Purchaser, and/or (z) leasing other space in the building to which the Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease or Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease relates (it being agreed that the leasing or subleasing of such
other space shall not relieve Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser of its obligations in respect of the relevant Sublease) and for no other purpose. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser or Designated Purchaser and use commercially reasonable
efforts, without incurring any third-party costs, to assist Purchaser or Designated Purchaser in connection with such negotiations. 
 (d) Purchaser’s rights set forth in Section 5.28(c) shall be subject to applicable Law and the following conditions: 
 (i) Seller and Purchaser or Designated Purchaser shall have reasonably agreed on a mutually acceptable strategy for negotiations with each landlord (including the ability of the Purchaser or a Designated
Purchaser to enter into a direct lease for all or less than all of the space covered or reasonably anticipated to be covered by the relevant Sublease in lieu of a Sublease) and the Main Sellers shall be afforded the right to participate in all such
communications with the landlord to the extent that they wish to do so, 
 (ii) neither any Seller nor Purchaser
nor Designated Purchaser shall have any obligation to agree to any increase in any of its obligations under the applicable Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease, Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease or Sublease in connection with such discussions
with the landlords, 
 (iii) such negotiations shall be immediately terminated if they are having an adverse
impact on the landlord-tenant relationship between the Sellers and such landlord, as determined by the Sellers in their reasonable discretion, 
 (iv) the Sellers shall have no obligations under or with respect to such direct lease negotiated by Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser, and 
 (v) neither Purchaser nor any Designated Purchaser shall be permitted to enter into a direct lease without obtaining
NNI’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Seller’s sole discretion, unless: 
  

 133 








 (A) there is no modification to the terms of the related Assumed and
Subleased Real Estate Lease or Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease that is adverse to the Sellers in connection with the entry into such direct lease, 
 (B) the Sellers shall not be obligated to pay any fees, penalties or other charges in connection with the entry into the direct lease by the Purchasers or the Designated Purchaser, 
 (C) Sellers are fully and finally released from all obligations and liability to such landlord and any other parties with
respect to the space subject to the direct lease, and 
 (D) either (x) all, but not less than all, of the
space covered or reasonably anticipated to be covered by the relevant Sublease is subject to such direct lease or (y) if such proposed direct lease covers less than all of the space covered or reasonably expected to be covered by the relevant
Sublease then (A) the remainder of such space (taking into account the relevant loss factors and all common area cost allocation) is expressly removed from the demised premises for all purposes covered by the relevant Assumed and Subleased Real
Estate Lease or Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease and the rent and additional rent obligations of Seller is reduced accordingly and (B) the demised premises which thereafter remain subject to a Seller’s Assumed and Subleased Real Estate
Lease or Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease is not divided into two or more non-contiguous portions and is not less marketable than it was prior to Purchaser’s or Designated Purchaser’s entry into such direct lease. 
 (e) After the Closing, the subtenant under each Sublease shall also be permitted to have contact with the landlord under the related Assumed
and Subleased Real Estate Lease or Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease on routine facilities maintenance matters, and the applicable sublandlord will reasonably cooperate with such subtenant, at Purchaser’s expense, to enforce the obligations
of such landlord under the applicable Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease or Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease. 
 (f)
With respect to the Sublease of property located at Belleville, Ontario, the Sellers agree that they will not exercise any options to extend the applicable Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease related thereto and the Purchaser or a Designated
Purchaser will in its sole discretion be permitted to negotiate a direct lease with the landlord with respect to the time after the expiration of the term of the applicable Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease and Sellers shall have no obligations
under or with respect to such direct lease. 
 (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser
(on behalf of itself and any Designated Purchaser) and Sellers agree to be bound by and comply with the terms set forth in Exhibit 5.28(g) with respect to “Replacement Lease A” identified in such Exhibit 5.28(g). 

SECTION 5.29. Competing Transaction. From the date of this Agreement until the entry of the U.S. Bidding Procedures Order,
and from the date of the conclusion of the

  

 134 








 
Auction (as defined in the U.S. Bidding Procedures Order) until the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement, neither any Seller nor any Affiliate of any Seller shall, directly or indirectly
through any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, professional advisors or other representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”), (i) solicit, initiate or encourage or engage in discussions or negotiations with
respect to any proposal or offer from any Person (other than the Purchaser or its affiliates) relating to in each case any acquisition, divestiture, recapitalization, business combination or reorganization of or involving all or a substantial part
of the business and operations of the Business (a “Competing Transaction”), (ii) furnish any information with respect to, or participate in, or assist, any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek the foregoing,
(iii) execute any letter of intent or agreement providing for a Competing Transaction, or (iv) seek or support Bankruptcy Court approval of a motion or Order inconsistent with the transactions contemplated herein (provided, however,
that nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Sellers from providing any Person with the Bidding Procedures and related documents, answering questions about the Bidding Procedures or announcing the execution of this Agreement or the Auction).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, from the date of this Agreement until the entry of the U.S. Bidding Procedures Order, the Sellers may provide continued access to written due diligence materials about the Business in an electronic data room (including
written responses to requests for information made after the date hereof), to only such Person or Persons that (A) have access to such electronic data room as of the date hereof and (B) have satisfied the requirements of paragraph
(a) of the “Participation Requirements” of the U.S. Bidding Procedures Order within ten (10) Business Days from the date hereof (it being understood that, during such ten (10) Business Day period, the Sellers will be allowed
to (x) request such Persons to enter into amendments to their existing confidentiality agreements in order to render them compliant with the requirements of the U.S. Bidding Procedures, (y) discuss and negotiate such amendments with those
Persons and (z) execute such amendments, and each such action shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.29); provided, however, that the Sellers must provide the Purchaser at least equivalent access to all such written due
diligence materials. Without prejudice to any other methods or actions that may result in the cure of any breach of this Section 5.29, the Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event that any officer or other employee of any Seller acting
alone (without the assistance of outside advisors) in violation of a corporate policy approved by the board of directors of NNC takes an action that constitutes a breach of clause (i) of this Section 5.29 but does not constitute a breach
of any other clause of this Section 5.29, such breach shall be deemed cured in the event such action ceases and one or more of the Sellers notifies the counterparty or counterparties to the potential Competing Transaction in writing that the
Sellers will not undertake such Competing Transaction, in each case no later than the fifth (5th) day after the Sellers become aware of such breach (for such purposes excluding the knowledge of the employee or officer whose action constitutes
such breach), provided that such action that constituted the breach did not involve substantive negotiations regarding the terms of such Competing Transaction. 
 SECTION 5.30. Direct Leases. 
 (a) For each of the properties owned in
fee by the Sellers identified on Section 5.30(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule (the “Direct Lease Real Estate”), Purchaser agrees that the relevant Seller and Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser will enter into a lease on
fair market terms for a term of 3 years and otherwise in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit N (the “Direct Leases”) and a notice of lease with respect thereto for recording in the

  

 135 








 
registry of deeds to the extent possible in each relevant jurisdiction (the “Notices of Lease”) with respect to the portion of the Direct Lease Real Estate to be leased by the
Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser for the Business. 
 (b) Reserved. 
 (c) The Sellers’ obligation to make any Direct Lease Real Estate available to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, either at
Closing or during the term of a Direct Lease, shall be subject to the Sellers’ right to implement their global real estate strategy, as such strategy develops over time, and, in connection therewith, to dispose of or retain Direct Lease Real
Estate as the Sellers deem appropriate in their sole discretion, either, at Sellers’ election, subject to the related Direct Lease or, in accordance with the requirements of this Section 5.30(c), free and clear of the same. Sellers shall
give Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser reasonable prior notice, not less than the number of days specified in Section 5.30(a), of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule with respect to such property, of any such disposition of Direct Lease Real
Estate, and Purchasers shall be permitted to remain at such property under the terms of the Direct Lease until the end of the notice period. Sellers’ only liability to the Purchaser or any other party in the event that any Direct Lease Real
Estate with respect to which Purchaser has elected to enter into a Direct Lease is not made available at Closing or, following entry into a Direct Lease, the relevant Seller terminates such Direct Lease in order to sell or otherwise disposes of such
Direct Lease Real Estate free and clear of such Direct Lease shall be to pay the Relocation Costs of Purchaser or Designated Purchaser relating to the relocation of all Assets and business operations required as a result of such sale or other
disposition. To the extent that the relevant Seller sells or otherwise disposes of any Direct Lease Real Estate with respect to which Purchaser has elected to enter into a Direct Lease prior to Closing, the relevant Seller and Purchaser or a
Designated Purchaser shall further comply with the requirements of clauses (ii), (iii) and (v) of Section 5.31(g) relating to Mission Critical Leases, to the extent applicable. 
 (d) Sellers and Purchaser will cooperate to determine how to segregate and demise the leased premises to Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser
(which shall be based upon the contemplated use of the demised premises and employee headcount reasonably agreed between Purchaser and Sellers on or prior to the Closing Date and shall also take into account the continued marketability and required
contiguity of those portions of such Direct Lease Real Estate to be subject and not to be subject, respectively, to the related Direct Lease) and provide relevant information (subject to confidentiality limitations) on the Direct Lease Real Estate
to the other provided that it is understood and agreed that all costs of such segregation and demising will be the sole responsibility of Purchaser and that Purchaser’s plans and specifications therefor will be subject to Sellers’
reasonable approval. 
 SECTION 5.31. Rejection and Expiration of Real Estate Leases. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that the Sellers’ obligations to
(i) assign any 365 Real Estate Lease to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser and (ii) enter into or continue to sublease pursuant to a Sublease under any Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease (the “Conditional
Subleases”) shall be subject to the Sellers’ right to reject such 365 Real Estate Lease (including Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Leases) at any time on or before the Latest Lease Rejection Date. The

  

 136 








 
Sellers may exercise such right to reject any 365 Real Estate Lease and, as applicable, either be relieved of their obligation to assign such 365 Real Estate Lease to the Purchaser or a
Designated Purchaser or terminate, or be relieved of their obligation to enter, the related Conditional Sublease at any time following the execution of this Agreement, including, as applicable, following the execution of such Conditional Sublease
with the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser (provided that after Closing, the Sellers will not reject any 365 Real Estate Leases that are Assumed and Assigned Contracts). 
 (b) In each instance in which a Seller on or before the applicable Latest Lease Rejection Date, in its sole discretion, rejects a 365 Real
Estate Lease that Sellers would otherwise be obligated to assign to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser or under which Sellers would otherwise be obligated to enter into a Sublease, 
 (i) Sellers will provide Purchaser a copy of the rejection notice delivered to the relevant landlord; provided that no
failure to provide any such copy shall impair or impact the effectiveness of such rejection; 
 (ii) except as
provided in Section 5.31(g) with respect to Relocation Costs, no reimbursements for any costs, expenses or damages shall be payable by any Seller or any of their Affiliates to Purchaser, any Designated Purchaser, any of their Affiliates or any
other Person as a result of such rejection; provided that if the Seller performs the relocation of Assets, Employees or business operations in connection with any such rejection occurring after the Closing that, individually or in the
aggregate with other relocations, has a Material Adverse Effect, then, to the extent that such Material Adverse Effect resulted from Seller’s gross negligence in performing such relocation, Seller shall be responsible for the Relocation Damages
resulting therefrom; 
 (iii) Sellers agree that such rejection shall only be effective (except with respect to
Mission Critical Leases, as to which the terms of Section 5.31(g) shall apply) upon reasonable prior notice to Purchaser from Sellers, no less than ten days following Sellers’ notification to Purchaser of the same, and termination of the
related Conditional Sublease (as applicable) shall be effective upon reasonable prior notice from Sellers, no less than nine days following Sellers’ notification to Purchaser of the same 
 (iv) Purchaser shall be relieved of its obligation to accept assignment or enter into a Sublease with respect to the
applicable 365 Real Estate Lease; and 
 (v) the Sellers will cooperate with Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser
and use commercially reasonable efforts, in each instance, to minimize the disruption to the affected business operations as a result of any rejections 
 (c) If the rejection is effective on or prior to Closing, Seller will give Purchaser access to the subject premises for not less than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the rejection notice to
identify any Assets acquired hereunder located at the subject premises. The Sellers agree that they will remove and store such Assets at the Seller’s sole cost and

  

 137 








 
expense until delivery to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser at Closing (it being understood that the Sellers shall not be obligated to remove trade fixtures or fixtures, furniture,
furnishings or fittings from any such real property or to store the same or to deliver the same at any point to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser at Closing unless the same are included in the Assets and are specifically identified by
Purchaser for removal). It is further understood that transfer of the Assets stored in accordance herewith may be made by delivery of a receipt from any warehouse or storage facility entitling the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser to retrieve all
such Assets and the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser shall be responsible for the cost of delivering such Assets to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser on or after the Closing Date. In the event the Purchaser fails to identify any Assets
within ten (10) Business Days that it wishes to have stored within the above time frame, the Sellers shall be entitled to abandon or otherwise dispose of such Assets in their sole discretion without any liability to Purchaser. 
 (d) If a rejection of an Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease is effective after Closing, subject to the provisions of
Section 5.31(g) with respect to Mission Critical Leases, the Purchaser agrees to, or to cause a Designated Purchaser to, vacate the premises which are subject to such Conditional Sublease in conformance with the requirements of the relevant
Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease and as otherwise required by such Conditional Sublease. 
 (e) In connection with any
365 Real Estate Lease as to which the Sellers give a notice of rejection, at the Purchaser’s option and written request and sole cost and expense exercised within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the rejection notice referred to
above, the Sellers will reasonably cooperate (without incurring any third-party costs) with the Purchaser’s efforts to enter into a new lease with respect to all of the subject premises directly with the relevant landlord (it being agreed that
Sellers shall have no obligations under or with respect to any such direct lease). Purchaser further acknowledges that the Sellers have requested the agreement of the landlord under each Designated 365 Real Estate Lease and Assumed and Subleased
Real Estate Lease to an extension of the relevant Latest Lease Rejection Date to a date beyond the latest date when the parties estimate a Closing might reasonably occur, provided that it is agreed that, other than for Mission Critical
Leases: 
 (i) should any such landlord agree to such extension, then at Purchaser’s election exercised
within ten (10) Business Days following notice by Sellers of such extension and Sellers’ intention to reject, the applicable 365 Real Estate Lease will be deemed an Assumed and Assigned Lease and Purchaser shall take an assignment of such
365 Real Estate Lease at Closing (regardless of whether such lease was designated as of the date hereof for assignment or for entry into a Sublease) and Purchaser shall pay Sellers, irrespective of whether Closing subsequently occurs, (A) at
the time of such agreement by landlord, one hundred percent (100%) of any extension or option fees imposed by such landlord or otherwise payable by Sellers and (B) prior to the date upon which any such payments are due to landlord, fifty
percent (50%) of all of Sellers’ actual, out of pocket rent and other occupancy costs under such 365 Real Estate Lease through Closing (regardless of whether all such space is used by the Business as of the date of this Agreement); and

  

 138 








 (ii) should such landlord refuse to agree to such extension, or if Closing
does not occur on or before the Latest Lease Rejection Date as extended, or if Purchaser elects not to take an assignment of such 365 Real Estate Lease, Sellers shall be free to reject such 365 Real Estate Lease in accordance with the provisions set
forth above. 
 (f) In the case of Real Estate Leases scheduled to expire prior to the Closing that the Sellers are not
otherwise planning to extend, at the request of the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, the Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts, without incurring third party costs, to obtain the agreement of the relevant landlord to a short-term
extension of the relevant lease expiration date to a date beyond the latest date when the parties estimate a Closing might reasonably occur, provided it is agreed that: 
 (i) should such landlord agree to such extension, Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser shall take an assignment of such Real
Estate Lease at Closing (regardless of whether such lease was designated as of the date hereof for assignment or for entry into a Sublease) and Purchaser shall pay Sellers, irrespective of whether Closing subsequently occurs, (A) at the time of
such agreement by landlord, one hundred percent (100%) of any extension option fees, increased rent or other increased occupancy costs imposed by such landlord or otherwise payable by Sellers and (B) prior to the date upon which any such
payments are due to landlord, fifty percent (50%) of all of Sellers’ actual, out of pocket rent and other occupancy costs (without taking into account any increased charges which are the subject of (A) above) under such 365 Real
Estate Lease through Closing (regardless of whether all such space is used by the Business as of the date of this Agreement); and 
 (ii) should such landlord refuse to agree to such extension, or if Closing does not occur on or before the extended expiration date of such lease, Sellers shall be free to allow such lease to expire.

 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Sellers elect to reject any Designated 365 Real Estate
Lease or Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease identified in Section 5.31(g) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Mission Critical Leases”), 
 (i) in the case of any rejection which is to be effective prior to Closing, Sellers will give Purchaser or a Designated
Purchaser reasonable prior notice, not less than thirty (30) days subject to Sellers’ obligations pursuant to Section 5.31(g)(v) (subject to Sellers’ obligation to comply with their covenant in Section 5.31(g)(ii)), of their
intent to reject such Mission Critical Lease and will provide Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser a copy of the rejection notice; provided that no failure to provide any such notice or copy shall impair or impact the effectiveness of such
rejection; 
 (ii) in the case of any rejection which is to be effective prior to Closing, the relevant Seller
and the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser shall

  

 139 








 
convene to discuss and agree on a mutually acceptable strategy for negotiating and entering into an Equivalent Lease for Equivalent Space, including determining whether a Seller or the Purchaser
will be the tenant under such Equivalent Lease, which party will enter into a lease, sublease or other arrangement for temporary space, which may include corporate office sharing, home-basing or other similar alternative arrangements (each, a
“Temporary Lease”), and which party will be primarily responsible for the negotiations of the Equivalent Lease and/or the Temporary Lease. Both parties will have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the negotiations for the
Temporary Lease and the Equivalent Lease. If a Temporary Lease is to be entered into, it will be sufficient, throughout the temporary occupancy period and until the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser is able to commence operations at the Equivalent
Space, to reasonably continue operation of the Business conducted at the property subject to the rejected Mission Critical Lease in the manner in which the same is conducted at such property on the date of this Agreement, taking into account the
agreement of Purchaser and Sellers to minimize the costs associated with outfitting such alternative temporary space. If the Sellers enter into an Equivalent Lease or a Temporary Lease, such Equivalent Lease or Temporary Lease shall, following its
execution, be deemed an Included Real Estate Lease for all purposes hereunder and shall be assigned to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser at Closing. If the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser enters into an Equivalent Lease or a Temporary
Lease prior to Closing, the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser and the Sellers will enter into a sublease thereof on terms to be reasonably agreed between the parties (it being understood that the occupancy costs under such sublease shall be set so
that Purchaser is merely passing through such costs under such Equivalent Lease or Temporary Lease) for the term of the Equivalent Lease or Temporary Lease, with respect to the property covered by such Equivalent Lease or Temporary Lease,
provided that (A) the Sellers will post a letter of credit covering the rent and other occupancy costs due under such sublease during the term thereof, (B) the sublease will provide that it will terminate at the Closing, if the
Closing occurs, and (C) nothing herein shall be construed to require either party to enter into or assume any liability with respect to an Equivalent Lease or any sublease thereunder prior to Closing so long as other means of reasonably
continuing operation of the Business conducted at the property subject to the rejected Mission Critical Lease substantially in the manner in which the same is conducted at such property on the date of this Agreement are available including but not
limited to entry into a Temporary Lease prior to Closing followed by entry into an Equivalent Lease following Closing; 
 (iii) in the case of any rejection which is to be effective prior to Closing, the Sellers shall relocate the Assets, Employees and business operations at their sole cost and expense from the property subject to the rejected Mission Critical
lease into the property subject to the Temporary Lease or into the Equivalent Space on or prior to the effective date of the rejection in such a manner as to reasonably permit the continued operation of the Business conducted at the property subject
to the rejected Mission Critical Lease. If a Temporary

  

 140 








 
Lease is entered into, the Sellers will relocate the Assets, Employees and business operations at their sole cost and expense from the property subject to the Temporary Lease into the Property
subject to Equivalent Space. The occupancy and operating costs under the Temporary Lease or Equivalent Lease and the property subject thereto shall be borne by Sellers for all periods up to the Closing Date, either directly, if the Sellers enter
into such Temporary Lease or Equivalent Lease, or via a sublease as described above, if the Purchaser enters into such Temporary Lease or Equivalent Lease. If such Temporary Lease remains in place after the Closing Date, the occupancy and operating
costs under the Temporary Lease and the property subject thereto for the period after Closing shall be borne exclusively by Purchaser, unless and until Purchaser has entered into and commenced paying rent and occupancy costs on an Equivalent Lease,
in which case the Sellers shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the rent and occupancy costs under the Temporary Lease for six months commencing on the date on which Purchaser commences monthly rental payments under the Equivalent Lease. If such
Temporary Lease remains in effect after the Closing, Purchaser shall diligently pursue its procurement of Equivalent Space to which to relocate the Assets, Employees and business operations subject to the terms of this Section 5.31(g);

 (iv) in the case of any rejection which is to be effective prior to Closing, the Sellers shall pay all
Relocation Costs of Purchaser or Designated Purchaser relating to the relocation of all Assets, Employees and business operations required as a result of said rejection, including any relocation of all Assets, Employees and business operations from
the property subject to the rejected Mission Critical Lease to the property subject to the Temporary Lease and, thereafter, to Equivalent Space; provided that Sellers shall not be required to compensate Purchaser or any other party for any
other amounts or damages of any kind in connection with such relocation except as expressly set forth in Section 5.31(b)(ii), including but not limited to as a result of any difference in the economic terms of the rejected Mission Critical
Lease and any new Equivalent Lease entered into by Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser; 
 (v) the Sellers
shall cooperate with Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser and use reasonable efforts, in each instance to minimize the disruption to the affected business operations as a result of such relocation; 
 (vi) notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Sellers elect to reject, effective on or after the Closing Date, a Mission
Critical Lease, (A) the Sellers will give the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser reasonable (but in no event less than thirty (30) days) prior notice (provided that thirty (30) days is sufficient notice for Sellers to comply
with their covenant in Section 5.31(g)(v)), of their intent to reject such Mission Critical Lease and will provide the Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser a copy of the rejection notice (provided that no failure to provide any such
notice or copy shall impair or impact the effectiveness of such rejection), (B) the Seller and the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser shall convene to discuss and agree on a mutually acceptable strategy for negotiating a

  

 141 








 
lease for Equivalent Space, (C) the Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser and the Sellers shall cooperate to make arrangements for securing Equivalent Space and the relocation of all Assets
and business operations thereto, (D) the Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser and use commercially reasonable efforts, in each instance to minimize the disruption to the affected business operation as a result of such
relocation, and (E) the Sellers shall pay all Relocation Costs of the Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser relating to the relocation to Equivalent Space of all Assets, Employees and business operations required as a result of said rejection,
including any relocation of all Assets, Employees and business operations from the property subject to the rejected Mission Critical Lease to the property subject to the Temporary Lease and, thereafter, to Equivalent Space; provided that
Sellers shall not be required to compensate Purchaser or any other party for any other amounts, including but not limited to as a result of any difference in the economic terms of the rejected Mission Critical Lease and any new lease entered into by
Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser; and provided further if Purchaser has commenced paying rent and occupancy costs on a lease for Equivalent Space, Sellers shall be obligated to pay fifty percent (50%) of the rent and occupancy
costs under the related Temporary Lease, if applicable, for six months commencing on the date on which Purchaser commences monthly rental payments under the lease for Equivalent Space. If Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser enters into a
Temporary Lease following a rejection, effective on or after the Closing Date, of a Mission Critical Lease, Purchaser shall diligently pursue its procurement of Equivalent Space to which to relocate the Assets, Employees and business operations
subject to the terms of this Section 5.31(g); 
 (vii) if the Sellers elect to reject Lease C, the
provisions of Exhibit 5.32(c) shall apply in addition to the provisions of this Section 5.31(g). 
  

 142 








 (h) If the relevant landlord has refused to provide its required Consent to a Sublease under
a Mission Critical Lease or does not respond to a request for such Consent, then the Sellers shall pay all Relocation Costs of Purchaser or Designated Purchaser relating to the relocation of all Assets and business operations required as a result of
Seller’s inability to enter into such Sublease; provided that Sellers shall not be required to pay any Relocation Costs of Purchaser or any other party in any instance where a landlord under a Mission Critical Lease has refused to
deliver a required Consent as a result of Purchaser’s or a Designated Purchaser’s refusal or other failure to comply with the provisions of Section 5.4 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule; and provided further that Sellers shall
not be required to compensate Purchaser or any other party for any other amounts, including but not limited to as a result of any difference in the economic terms of the relevant Mission Critical Lease and any new lease entered into by Purchaser or
an Affiliate of Purchaser and provided further that Sellers and Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser shall be obligated to comply with the requirements of Section 5.13 prior to the completion of such relocation. 
 SECTION 5.32. Restructure of Leases. 
 (a) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Sellers have commenced negotiations with certain of the landlords under certain 365 Real Estate Leases and Non-365 Real Estate Leases with the intention of agreeing
to modifications of such Real Estate Leases. The Purchaser agrees that the Sellers shall be permitted to restructure the 365 Real Estate Leases and the Non-365 Real Estate Leases, including to reduce the size of the premises demised thereby and to
vacate one or more buildings covered by single Real Estate Leases, and, in connection therewith, at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, to relocate applicable Employees, Assets and business operations within the facilities subject to such Real
Estate Leases (including, in the case of Sellers’ operations at the C Campus as defined in Section 5.32(c) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, relocation of Employees, Assets and business operations between facilities covered by separate
Real Estate Leases) so long as: 
 (i) the space made available to the Purchaser at Closing under such Real
Estate Lease contains usable and rentable square footage sufficient to reasonably support the contemplated use of the demised premises and employee headcount reasonably agreed between Purchaser and Sellers on or prior to the Closing Date and to
conduct the Business at such premises in a manner substantially similar to the manner conducted at such premises (and any adjacent premises from which Employees, Assets and business operations are being transferred) as of the date hereof and such
space is not divided into two or more non-contiguous portions, 
 (ii) upon Purchaser’s request, the
relevant Seller and the Purchaser shall convene to discuss and agree on a mutually acceptable strategy for approaching such negotiations with the relevant landlord and Purchaser shall provide the relevant Seller with a detailed description of its
contemplated use of the premises and employee headcount and space needs (subject to reasonable confidentiality limitations), 
  

 143 








 (iii) the occupancy costs or security deposit to the Purchaser or a
Designated Purchaser at such real property shall not be increased in any material respect over what they would be in the absence of such amendment of such Real Estate Leases, it being agreed specifically that Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser
shall be subject to no increased security deposit requirements as a result of such amendment, 
 (iv) the Sellers
shall pay all Relocation Costs of the Purchaser or Designated Purchaser relating to the relocation required as a result of said restructuring, 
 (v) except as provided in Section 5.32(a)(iv) with respect to Relocation Costs, no reimbursements for any costs, expenses or damages shall be payable by any Seller or any of their Affiliates to
Purchaser, any Designated Purchaser, any of their Affiliates or any other Person as a result of such restructuring; provided that if the Seller performs the relocation of Assets, Employees or business operations in connection with any such
restructuring occurring after the Closing that, individually or in the aggregate with other relocations, has a Material Adverse Effect, then to the extent that such Material Adverse Effect resulted from Seller’s gross negligence in performing
such relocation, Seller shall be responsible for the Relocation Damages resulting therefrom; and 
 (vi) the
Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser and use reasonable efforts, in each instance, to minimize the disruption to the affected business operations as a result of such relocation. 
 (b) In the event that Sellers have not, prior to Closing, completed the consolidation of operations at any premises pursuant to a
restructure of an Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease or Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease, the relevant Seller and Purchaser or Designated Purchaser shall enter into the contemplated Sublease on the Closing Date but, prior to the completion
of such consolidation, such Seller shall make available in lieu of the premises which are to be the subject of such Sublease alternative space at the same facility designated by such Seller (the “Relocation Space”) in a notice given
to Purchaser or Designated Purchaser from which the impacted business operations can be conducted. The Relocation Space shall be reasonably comparable to the premises which are the subject of such Sublease with respect to internal configuration,
quality of finish and rentable square foot area (i.e., plus or minus ten (10%) percent). Such Seller shall, at such Seller’s cost and expense, complete the build-out of the premises which are to be the subject of the Sublease and,
following the same, remove and reinstall Purchaser’s or Designated Purchaser’s personal property, trade fixtures and equipment in such premises as promptly as reasonably practicable provided that Purchaser or Designated Purchaser
cooperates with such Seller and gives such Seller full access to the premises which are to be the subject of such Sublease in order to facilitate the performance of such required work. During such entire period, Purchaser or Designated Purchaser
shall be obligated to pay all rent and additional rent required under the terms of such Sublease but not with respect to the Relocation Space, regardless of whether Purchaser or Designated Purchaser is then occupying the premises which are to be the
subject thereof. 
  

 144 








 (c) The Sellers shall consolidate the C Campus (as defined in Section 5.32(c) of the
Sellers Disclosure Schedule) in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit 5.32(c), subject to the rights of the Sellers in Section 5.31. 
 SECTION 5.33. Non-Compete. Except as permitted pursuant to Section 5.25(b) with respect to any Excluded Sellers, for a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, none
of the Sellers shall, or shall permit or cause any of their Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries to, (i) sell a product or service competitive with any product or service contemplated in the definition of the Business in any geographic area in which the
Business is conducted on the date hereof (unless purchased from the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser), or (ii) acquire or hold voting securities of any Person that is engaged in a business competitive with the Business as conducted on the
date hereof, provided that the foregoing restrictions shall not prohibit or restrict (a) performance by the Sellers or a Seller Wholly-Owned Subsidiary under the Rejected Customer Contracts, through the subcontract arrangement
contemplated by Section 5.14(b) or 5.14(c), as applicable, if such arrangement is entered into pursuant to the provisions therein or otherwise if such arrangement is not entered into or, with respect to NNSA, performance by NNSA of the Contract
listed on Schedule 5.33 to the extent such Contract shall not transfer to the Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser , (b) the acquisition or holding of a passive investment in up to 5% of the outstanding stock of a corporation that does not
give such Seller or Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of such Seller the right to appoint directors or management of such Person or to otherwise exercise control over the management of such Person, (c) the passive holding of the securities any of the
Sellers owns as of the date hereof and the holding of the equity interests in the joint ventures listed in Section 1.1(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule that the Sellers own as of the date hereof or (d) the sale of Sellers’
Converging Products. In the event that any Seller or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of any Seller is acquired by, merged with or otherwise combined with (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions or whether structured as an
acquisition of assets, securities or otherwise) (any such transaction, a “Seller Acquisition”) any other Person (an “Acquiring Person”), the provisions of this Section 5.33 shall not restrict the ability of the
Acquiring Person or its Affiliates to continue to operate the type of business or own the type of assets that they respectively operated or owned prior to the Seller Acquisition. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares
that any term or provision of this Section 5.33 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the
term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or
unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. 
 SECTION 5.34. Financial Statements. 
 (a) Subject to the last sentence
of this Section 5.34(a), the Main Sellers shall provide the Audited Financial Statements and the Audited 2009 Interim Financial Statements to the Purchaser as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than
(i) July 31, 2009, in the case of the Audited Financial Statements and, (ii) December 7, 2009 in the case of the Audited 2009 Interim Financial Statements. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.34(a), all Unaudited

the quarter ended December 31, 2008, and (ii) if the Registration Statement is not effective or the Closing Date is on or after May 11, 2010, by May 30, 2010 in the case of the March 31, 2010 Unaudited Interim Financial

Statements, Additional Audited 2009 Financial Statements and all Unaudited Interim Financial Statements in respect of fiscal quarters ended prior to the Closing Date that are required to be included in the registration statement on Form S-4 (or any

report on Form 8-K required to be filed by the Purchaser or any of its affiliates under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “8-K”).

 (c) If the Closing Date is after December 31, 2009 and the Registration Statement is not effective prior to the Closing Date, then the Main Sellers shall deliver to the Purchaser the Additional
Audited 2009 Financial Statements not later than March 15, 2010, and such delivery shall be prior to the Closing Date. If the Closing Date is on or after March 25, 2010, then the Main Sellers shall deliver to the Purchaser the Additional
Audited 2009 Financial Statements not later than 3 Business Days prior to the Closing Date. 
 (d) If the closing condition in

Section 5.34(d) is to exclude the financial statements and information for the Companies in which case each such financial statement shall exclude the financial statements and information of the Companies. Following the Closing, unless
delivered prior to the Closing, the Main Sellers shall deliver to the Purchaser the following financial statements:

 (iv) the unaudited income statement information specified in the
definition of Unaudited Interim Financial Statements from the date of last fiscal quarter ended prior to the Closing Date, which fiscal quarter may be a year end, through the Closing Date (the “Information”). 
 (e) If any financial statements or Information are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.34(d), the Main Sellers shall comply
with the following provisions: 
 (i) to the extent the Main Sellers are required to deliver any audited
financial statements under Section 5.34(d), the Sellers shall engage KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date to audit the related financial statements;

shall be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. If the Main Sellers are required to deliver any financial statements or Information pursuant to Section 5.34(d) and the Main Sellers (i) do not
engage KPMG for purposes of auditing any of these financial statements or Information that are required to be audited financial statements or (ii) do not deliver such financial statements or deliver them more than twenty-five (25) days
later than the dates provided in Section 5.34(e)(ii) or Section 5.34(e)(iii), as applicable, then the Holdback Escrow Amount (together with any actual interest earned thereon) shall be returned to the Purchaser by the Escrow Agent.

 (g) In the event that following the Closing (A) the Main Sellers will not be required to deliver to the Purchaser any
financial statements pursuant to Section 5.34(d) or (B) the Main Sellers have complied with the obligations set forth in Section 5.34(d) and Section 5.34(e), as applicable, then the Purchaser shall promptly instruct the Escrow
Agent to immediately release the Holdback Escrow Amount to the Distribution Agent (as agent for the Sellers and the EMEA Sellers). 
  

 147 








 (h) The Main Sellers shall cooperate in Purchaser’s efforts to obtain consent from
Sellers’ independent auditors for the inclusion of the Audited Financial Statements and, if applicable, the Audited 2009 Closing Date Financial Statements, the Audited 2009 Interim Financial Statements and/or the Additional Audited 2009
Financial Statements in any registration statement or other filing with the SEC. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.6 (except that the Main Sellers acknowledge and agree that such information as is necessary to be included in a
registration statement or other filing with the SEC need not be kept confidential by the Purchaser), the Main Sellers shall provide the Purchaser, the relevant Designated Purchasers and their representative accountants reasonable access to the
books, records and personnel of the Business and the Companies and all documents, schedules and work papers that are reasonably necessary to prepare any financial statements that are required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of this
Section 5.34. The Sellers shall reasonably cooperate in the Purchaser’s efforts, whether pre- or post-Closing, to prepare the Registration Statement, the 8-K and any other filings with the SEC that are required to include any financial
statements of the Business (or portion thereof), provided that such reasonable assistance shall include providing the Purchaser, the relevant Designated Purchasers and their representative accountants reasonable access to the books, records
and personnel of the Business and the Companies and all documents, schedules and work papers that are reasonably necessary to prepare the Audited Financial Statements, the Unaudited Interim Financial Statements, any quarterly combined income
statement information of the Business, the income statement information from the date of the last interim balance sheet required to be delivered to the Purchaser through the Closing Date, the pro forma financial statements of the combined entity
and, if applicable, the Audited 2009 Closing Date Financial Statements, the Audited 2009 Interim Financial Statements and/or the Additional Audited 2009 Financial Statements, together with any related financial disclosures to be included in the
Registration Statement or other filing with the SEC. 
 (i) If the Audited 2009 Interim Financial Statements are required to be
provided pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.34(a), the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable a determination from the SEC with respect to whether the Audited 2009 Interim Financial
Statements must include combined statements of income and cash flows and footnote information for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to meet the requirements of Regulation S-X and Rule 3-05 thereunder, for inclusion in the
Registration Statement and the 8-K. The Purchaser shall keep the Main Sellers promptly informed of any material developments in its discussions with the SEC regarding such determination. If the Purchaser obtains a determination that such combined
statements of income and cash flows and footnote information for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 are not required to meet the requirements of Regulation S-X and Rule 3-05 thereunder, for inclusion of the Audited 2009 Interim
Financial Statements in the Registration Statement and the 8-K, then the Main Sellers shall not be required to deliver the combined statements of income and cash flows and footnote information for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008
with the Audited 2009 Interim Financial Statements pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.34(a), but may nonetheless be required to deliver such combined statements of income and cash flows and footnote information for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2008 with the Audited 2009 Interim Financial Statements pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.34(d)(ii). 
 SECTION 5.35. Certain Acknowledgements Regarding PBGC. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that none of the actions or occurrences referred to in clauses (i)

  

 148 








 
through (iv) of Section 8.3(d) hereof in and of itself shall constitute or be construed as a breach by any of the Sellers of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall limit or be construed as limiting the scope, application or effect of Section 8.3(d). To the extent the PBGC
terminates the NNRIP (or any other Seller Employee Plan) or imposes any Lien on the assets of any of the Companies or any of the Sellers, or in the event of any other action or occurrence referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of
Section 8.3(d), then the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions to do, or cause to be done, and cooperate with each other in order to do, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain
from the PBGC a waiver of its Claims against Purchaser, its Affiliates (including the Companies) or the holder of any Assets in connection with the NNRIP and a release of such Lien in order to cause the satisfaction of the condition set forth in
Section 8.3(d) at the earliest practicable date; provided that the Purchaser shall not be required to make any payment, relinquish any right, or deliver or relinquish anything of value in order to obtain such waiver (other than payment
of the Purchase Price). 
 SECTION 5.36. Finalization of Transition Services Agreement. 
 (a) The Parties acknowledge that Schedule 1 (the “Schedule 1 Included Services”), Schedule 5 and Schedule 6 (collectively,
the “General Scope of Services”) attached to the form Transition Services Agreement contained in Exhibit P hereto reflects the general scope of certain services to be provided pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement by
the TSA Sellers and TSA EMEA Sellers (and may reflect greater detail as to some of such services), but is not sufficiently refined to define all such services in operational detail. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, between the time of the
execution of this Agreement and two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, they (i) will negotiate in good faith and use reasonable efforts expeditiously to refine the description of the services included within the General Scope of Services
so as to provide sufficient operational detail (as mutually agreed or as determined by arbitration in accordance with clause (h), the “Included Services”) and (ii) will provide each other with such information that is
reasonably requested in connection with such negotiation. The Parties agree that Included Services will be finally determined prior to Closing by such negotiation or by arbitration in accordance with this Section 5.36, provided that the
Included Services will be consistent with, and will omit any services not reasonably within the service description categories contained in, the General Scope of Services. The Parties further agree that such negotiation and arbitration will be
subject to the following general limitations and conditions (the “Scope Guidelines”): (i) the Included Services will exclude any portion of any service that has at no time on or after April 1, 2009 been provided by any
Seller or any EMEA Seller (or any Affiliate of any of them) nor provided or procured by any Seller or any EMEA Seller (or any Affiliate of any of them) from a third party (the services within the General Scope of Services that have been provided
either by such a Seller or any EMEA Seller (or any Affiliate of any of them) entity or by a third party at any time on or after April 1, 2009, the “Current Services”) (it being understood and agreed that (a) each Seller
under the Transition Services Agreement will be committed reasonably to cooperate with Purchaser to coordinate interaction, execution and process steps so that the services of such Seller are delivered in a manner to facilitate the orderly
transition of the Business to the Purchaser and (b) from and after the time of execution of this Agreement until the Closing, the Sellers, the EMEA Sellers and their respective Affiliates will provide, or cause to be provided, to the Business
the Current Services, subject to

  

 149 








 
modifications that would be permitted if the Transition Services Agreement were currently in effect), (ii) if and to the extent that employees of a Seller or an EMEA Seller or a Subsidiary
of a Seller or an EMEA Seller performing services as of the date of execution of this Agreement are Transferred Employees under this Agreement or Transferring Employees under the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement, then the human tasks formerly undertaken by
such Transferred Employees or Transferring Employees will no longer be required to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement (but equipment, licenses and other resources not transferred shall, in accordance with the terms of the Transition
Services Agreement, continue to be made available as necessary to perform such tasks under the Transition Services Agreement as contemplated by this Section 5.36), and (iii) services will be limited to those reasonably advisable to carry
on the Business after the Closing in a manner consistent with the operation of the Business at the time of execution of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the services described in the General Scope of Services attached to the
Transition Services Agreement have all been provided by or procured by a Seller or an EMEA Seller (or a respective Affiliate) to or for the Business after April 1, 2009. On the Closing Date but before the Closing, the TSA Sellers and the TSA
EMEA Sellers shall be ready, willing and able to satisfy their obligations pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement in all material respects and the Main Sellers will deliver a certificate to the Purchaser to that effect. 
 (b) If, between the time of execution of this Agreement and Closing, Purchaser identifies services not described within the General Scope of
Services which are reasonably advisable in order to assist with the orderly transition of the Business to the Purchaser, then the Parties agree that such additional services (defined in operational detail as described herein) will be provided under
the Transition Services Agreement, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith and use reasonable efforts expeditiously to refine such additional services in operational detail consistent with the Scope Guidelines specified in Section 5.36(a)
(as mutually agreed or as determined by arbitration in accordance with clause (h), the “Type 1 Extra Services”). If, between the time of the execution of this Agreement and Closing, Purchaser identifies further services reasonably
advisable to carry on the Business which are not described within the General Scope of Services and which are not consistent with the Scope Guidelines, but which can reasonably be provided by the applicable Seller (but not an EMEA Seller) without
hiring new employees and without materially changing or burdening the operations of such Seller, then the Parties agree that such further services (defined in operational detail as described herein) will be provided under the Transition Services
Agreement, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith and use reasonable efforts expeditiously to define such ancillary services in operational detail (as mutually agreed or as determined by arbitration in accordance with clause (h), “Type
2 Extra Services;” together with Type 1 Extra Services, the “Extra Services”). 
 (c) The Parties
acknowledge and agree that, subject to the provisions below, the Included Services ultimately provided under the Transition Services Agreement are to be billed by the applicable TSA Seller or TSA EMEA Seller under the Transition Services Agreement
to the Purchaser at the “Direct Cost” of such Included Services as specified in the Transition Services Agreement. However, the Parties further agree that, from and after the execution of this Agreement, they will negotiate in good faith
to quantify and stipulate by mutual agreement the Direct Cost of each such Included Service as a specific monetary amount for each such Service (the “Monetary Cost” of such Service); provided, that Monetary Cost shall exclude


  

 150 








 
Special Third-Party Costs (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon mutual agreement (or resolution by arbitration as provided herein) as to Monetary
Cost for any Service under the Transition Services Agreement, the price for such Service shall thenceforth equal the sum of such Monetary Cost plus Special Third-Party Costs (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) allocable to such
Service, and such price will apply regardless of the Direct Cost actually incurred by the applicable Sellers under the Transition Services Agreement in providing such Service. The Parties acknowledge that attached to the form of Transition Services
Agreement in Exhibit P is (1) a schedule showing an assumed volume of product flow through the order-to-cash cycle (reflecting both timing and amounts of products) over the 12-month period following Closing (the “Product Volume
Forecast”), (2) a schedule showing an assumed headcount for personnel constituting “Active Employees” and employees of “Contract Service Providers” as defined in the Transition Services Agreement (the “IT
Headcount Forecast”), and (3) the estimated cost of providing services to support the product flow contemplated by the Product Volume Forecast, consistent with the IT Headcount Forecast, during the 12-month period following Closing
(the “Estimated Cost Schedule”, as revised in accordance with Section 5(a) of the Transition Services Agreement to account for TUPE Employees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Transition
Services Agreement, the Parties agree that the outcome of the price negotiation described above in this Section 5.36(c) (or determined by arbitration as provided in clause (h)) with respect to the Schedule 1 Included Services) will be such that
the aggregate Monetary Cost of all Schedule 1 Included Services to be delivered over the 12-month period following Closing to support the product flow contemplated by the Product Volume Forecast, using headcount assumptions consistent with the IT
Headcount Forecast, (x) will not be less than 90% of the aggregate estimated cost of all services reflected in the Estimated Cost Schedule, and (y) will not be greater than 110% of such aggregate estimated cost of all services reflected in
the Estimated Cost Schedule. The Transition Services Agreement contains provisions regarding certain price adjustments for Schedule 1 Included Services in the event that (i) Purchaser revises the anticipated product volume which results in a
change in forecast revenues (output of the monthly Sales and Operations Plan) of 5% or more for any three-month period commencing 3 months from the approved monthly Sales and Operations Plan, or (ii) Purchaser revises the headcount of Active
Employees and/or employees of Contract Service Providers (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement), with the result that the Direct Cost of delivering IT Infrastructure Services and IT Applications Services included within Schedule 1
Included Services changes by more than 5% from the aggregate cost of such IT Infrastructure Services and IT Applications Services reflected on the Estimated Cost Schedule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the
Transition Services Agreement, it is understood and agreed that the aggregate price to be paid by the Purchasers to the TSA Sellers for services under the Transition Services Agreement will be reduced by $10 million, the application of such
reduction to be determined by the Purchaser subject to the consent of the TSA Sellers (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). For the avoidance of doubt, such reduction shall not apply to any services provided by the TSA EMEA Sellers
pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement. 
 (d) The determination of the stipulated, monetary price of any Extra Services
requested by the Purchaser will be determined in manner analogous to the determination of Monetary Cost of Included Services, except that the price of such Extra Services will be the “Direct Cost” thereof as defined in the form of
Transition Services Agreement in Exhibit P 

  

 151 








 
hereto (plus any Special Third-Party Costs not reflected in such monetary price), with no further restriction. 
 (e) Until the Monetary Cost of any service has been agreed and stipulated by the Parties or determined by arbitration in accordance with clause (h), the price of such service will be the Direct Cost
thereof, as reasonably determined by the applicable TSA Sellers or TSA EMEA Sellers under the Transition Services Agreement. Upon final determination of the Monetary Cost as contemplated herein, the parties will promptly reconcile any prior payments
made by the Purchaser that were based on TSA Seller’s or TSA EMEA Seller’s estimates of Direct Cost (with the applicable TSA Seller or TSA EMEA Seller paying to the Purchaser any amount by which such estimated amounts exceeded the proper
amounts based on Monetary Cost as so finally determined, or with the Purchaser paying to the applicable TSA Seller or TSA EMEA Seller any deficiency by which such estimated amounts were less than the proper amounts based on such Monetary Cost).

 (f) Prior to the 45th day following the execution of this Agreement (“Arbitration Trigger Date”), each TSA
Seller and TSA EMEA Seller shall consult with each other and notify Purchaser of the name of the single person designated to serve on all such parties’ behalf as an arbitrator in case of any arbitration hereunder (except that the TSA EMEA
Sellers may designate a single person to serve as an arbitrator for all TSA EMEA Sellers, and the TSA Sellers may designate a different person to serve as an arbitrator for all Sellers), and the Purchaser shall notify each TSA Seller and TSA EMEA
Seller of the name of the person or, if the TSA Sellers and TSA EMEA Sellers have each appointed an arbitrator, the name of two persons designated to serve as Purchaser’s arbitrator(s) in case of any arbitration hereunder. If the TSA Sellers
and TSA EMEA Sellers have not designated their arbitrator or Purchaser has not designated its arbitrator(s) prior to the Arbitration Trigger Date (“Non-Designating Party”), and if thereafter such Non-Designating Party does not name
an arbitrator (and provide notice thereof to the other applicable parties) within five Business Days after notice from any other Party requesting that such an arbitrator be named, then such Non-Designating Party shall lose the right to appoint an
arbitrator hereunder, and the arbitration shall be conducted exclusively by the arbitrator named by the other Party to the applicable arbitration. 
 (g) At any time after the Arbitration Trigger Date, any affected Party may submit any disagreements relating to the Included Services or the Extra Services, or the Monetary Cost of any Included Service or
the stipulated, monetary price of any Extra Service to binding arbitration for resolution, which arbitration proceeding will be initiated by notice delivered by such Party to the applicable counterparty. Such arbitration shall be conducted in
accordance with Section 5.36(h). The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreement as expeditiously as practicable. 
 (h) If any Party shall give notice of arbitration pursuant to Section 5.36(g), then, within ten days following initiation of such arbitration, the arbitrators theretofore designated by the applicable
parties to such arbitration shall jointly appoint a neutral arbitrator (the “Neutral Arbitrator”), who shall be unaffiliated with any Party (in the event such two arbitrators do not so jointly appoint a neutral arbitrator, then,
upon the request of any party to such arbitration, such neutral arbitrator, who must be unaffiliated with any Party, will be promptly appointed by the American Arbitration Association). Any arbitration hereunder shall

  

 152 








 
be conducted by such three arbitrators (except as provided in Section 5.36(f) or below in this Section 5.36(h)), and shall take place in New York City in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. If an arbitrator named by a Party hereunder ceases to serve for any reason, then such Party shall name a successor arbitrator within five Business Days following notice from an adverse Party
(“Notifying Party”) requesting that such a successor be named (if a successor is not so named, then the arbitration will be conducted solely by the Neutral Arbitrator if theretofore appointed, and otherwise by the arbitrator named
by the Notifying Party). The arbitrators will resolve the matters in dispute within thirty (30) days following the selection of the Neutral Arbitrator; provided, however, that if any disagreement with respect to Included Services has not
been resolved by the one hundred twentieth (120th) day after the date of this Agreement (or if earlier the fifteenth (15th) day prior to the Closing Date), then at any time thereafter any Party to such arbitration may serve notice on the
arbitrators demanding that the Neutral Arbitrator alone render a final decision within 10 days following receipt of such notice (any decision by a majority of the arbitrators shall otherwise be deemed the decision of the arbitrators). The decision
of a majority of the arbitrators, or of the Neutral Arbitrator alone, as applicable, shall be in writing, shall be final and conclusive on the Parties, and counterpart copies thereof shall be delivered to all of the Parties. Judgment may be had on
the decision of the arbitrators so rendered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Purchaser shall bear the fees and expenses of the arbitrator it designates, the applicable TSA Seller or TSA EMEA Seller shall bear the fees and expenses of the
arbitrator it designates, and the Purchaser and the applicable TSA Seller or TSA EMEA Seller shall equally share the fees and expenses of the Neutral Arbitrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Transition
Services Agreement, if any arbitration hereunder to finalize the scope of any Included Service has not been completed, and an arbitral decision rendered, by the second Business Day preceding the Closing Date, then (i) the applicable TSA Seller
or TSA EMEA Seller shall provide such Service after Closing with the scope advocated by the Purchaser (and the Purchaser will pay Direct Cost for such Services, as provided in the Transition Services Agreement and as reasonably determined by the
applicable TSA Seller or TSA EMEA Seller, until the Monetary Cost for such service is determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.36 upon which a reconciliation will occur as described in Section 5.36(e)), and
(ii) such arbitration will terminate with respect to the scope of service as of such second Businesses Day preceding the Closing (with the arbitrators deemed to have rendered a decision defining such scope as so advocated by the Purchaser).
Nothing herein will affect any arbitration to the extent the subject matter thereof relates to (i) any Extra Service or (ii) the price, Monetary Cost or Direct Cost of any service. 
 (i) Solely, for purposes of this Section 5.36, the term “Parties” shall also include the TSA EMEA Sellers. 
 SECTION 5.37. Assistance for Proxy Agreement. From the date hereof, the Main Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to
assist the Purchaser to seek any Consent required in order to terminate the Proxy Agreement and allow the Purchaser to acquire and exercise control over NGS and its business effective as of or before the Closing Date without a proxy arrangement.
Such assistance shall include promptly notifying the U.S. Defense Security Service of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the NISPOM and Proxy Agreement, agreeing to terminate the Proxy Agreement effective as of the Closing Date and
engaging in discussions with the U.S. Defense Security Service in preparation for that result, and providing

  

 153 








 
all information requested by the U.S. Defense Security Service related to the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 SECTION 5.38. Customer Contract Review and Selection. 
 (a) In
accordance with applicable Law and subject to the provisions of the Clean Team Confidentiality Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, within seven (7) days of the date hereof, the Sellers shall provide the Clean Team Members with
(i) access to the electronic databases and centralized file cabinets at Sellers’ workplaces or other sites where the Customer Contracts are maintained and/or stored (such databases and file cabinets, the “Sellers’
Files”), where “centralized file cabinets” shall mean that the Sellers use their reasonable best efforts to cause the file cabinets containing the Sellers’ Files, to the extent reasonably practicable given existing resources
and spaces at the relevant facilities, to be aggregated, organized and labeled in a single, localized filing room, which Sellers shall have clearly identified prior to the arrival of Clean Team Members, at each applicable site, and
(ii) training of one (1) day (initially, in a single session for the Clean Team Members, which training shall be accessible by videoconference and/or teleconference) and additional training as shall be reasonably requested by Clean Team
Members, including specific training as is reasonably necessary to review the Sellers’ Files at any particular site, such as (y) training on how to access specific electronic databases at such site and (z) training on how to locate
specific information within file cabinets at such site. Sellers shall also provide existing indices, maps, tables of contents or equivalent references for the purpose of identifying hard copies of materials within any filing cabinets or similar
storage units. The Purchaser shall provide sufficient computer equipment to enable the Clean Team Members to access such electronic databases, and such computer equipment shall be compatible with Sellers’ electronic databases, which the Parties
shall engage in their reasonable best efforts to confirm with each other prior to a visit by Clean Team Members to any site. 
 (b) The relevant Sellers shall cause their personnel responsible for maintaining and operating the Customer Contract databases, at the locations where the Customer Contracts are retained in hard or soft copy form, to reasonably assist the
Clean Team Members to locate copies of the relevant Customer Contracts and such information about or related to the Customer Contracts as the Clean Team Members may reasonably request. Furthermore, the relevant Sellers shall allow the Persons listed
in Section 5.38(b)(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule to perform searches on the electronic databases comprising the Sellers’ Files and assist with the identification of documents within the Sellers’ Files, as reasonably requested
by Clean Team Members. Subject to applicable Law and the provisions of the Clean Team Confidentiality Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, the relevant Sellers shall also use their reasonable best efforts to cause (i) the Persons listed
in Section 5.38(b)(ii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule to be available, and, if such Persons are not available, the Purchaser will accept the designation of an alternative representative from the applicable geographical and functional area,
who has comparable knowledge to the unavailable Person, and (ii) without exception, each of the individuals listed in Section 5.38(b)(iii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule to be made available, and if any such Person can not be made
available, then Purchaser shall have the right to select, in its reasonable discretion, a suitable replacement for such unavailable Person; each of the Persons in (i) and (ii) to be made available, at times designated by the Sellers, for
two or, at the option of the Sellers, more separate meetings covering, in the aggregate, all the regions, in each case with Clean Team Members and to take place in person or by teleconference

  

 154 








 
within ten (10) days from the date hereof, to answer reasonable questions from the Clean Team Members about the content of Customer Contracts, the status of the relevant Seller’s
relationship with the counterparties to such Customer Contracts, the economic performance under such Customer Contracts and any material issues that have arisen under such Customer Contracts. Following such meeting(s), subject to applicable Law and
the provisions of the Clean Team Confidentiality Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, the relevant Sellers shall cause members of their relevant management personnel knowledgeable about issues related to Customer Contracts, including global
accounts, services and major geographical regions of the Business to be available at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to answer reasonable questions from the Clean Team Members about the content of the Customer Contracts, the status of
the relevant Seller’s relationship with the counterparties to such Customer Contracts, the economic performance under such Customer Contracts and any material issues that have arisen under such Customer Contracts. 
 (c) The Main Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to produce and place in the Clean Team Data Room, as soon as practical and in
any event within ten (10) days of the date hereof, all material documentation that forms part of the Customer Contracts in force as of the date hereof with customers of the Business whose customer contracts with the Sellers generated more than
$1,000,000 in aggregate revenues for the Business during calendar year 2008 (each Customer Contract with such customers, a “Major 2008 Customer Contract”). 
 (d) The Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to produce and place in the Clean Team Data Room, as soon as practical and in any event
within fifteen (15) days of the date hereof, any additional Customer Contracts which, prior to the date hereof, have been identified in the Sellers’ sales forecasting process that is maintained in the Ordinary Course and which the relevant
Sellers, in the exercise of their reasonable judgment, believe may result in revenues of the Business in either (i) 2009 or (ii) if the relevant Contract was or is entered into after January 1, 2009, the period beginning on the date
of execution of such Contract and ending twelve (12) months from the date of such Contract, of greater than $500,000 (each, a “Major 2009 Customer Contract”, and together with any Major 2008 Customer Contracts, the
“Major Customer Contracts”). 
 (e) In accordance with applicable Law and subject to the provisions of the
Clean Team Confidentiality Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, the Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its representatives, with any and all reasonably requested assistance from the Sellers pursuant to Sections 5.38(a),
5.38(b), 5.38(c) and 5.38(d) to (i) promptly review the Sellers’ Files and identify those Customer Contracts that it seeks to review, including, at the Purchaser’s sole option, employing appropriate professional third parties as Clean
Team Members to expedite such review and (ii) work with the Sellers to minimize the disruption to Sellers’ workplaces or other sites caused by the Clean Team Members’ visits and review, and to leave such sites in substantially the
same condition as when the Clean Team Members first occupied such sites. 
 (f) On or before the relevant Contract Designation
Date, the Purchaser shall notify the Main Sellers in writing of those 365 Customer Contracts and Non-365 Customer Contracts entered into prior to the date hereof which fail to meet the Pre-Signing Inclusion Criteria and the Purchaser elects not to
have assigned by the relevant Seller to the Purchaser or a

  

 155 








 
Designated Purchaser at Closing (as adjusted to reflect the resolution of any objection by the Main Seller to such notification, the “Rejected Pre-Signing Customer Contracts”).
Such written notice to the Main Sellers shall also indicate which specific Pre-Signing Inclusion Criteria the relevant 365 Customer Contract or Non-365 Customer Contract, as applicable, fails to meet. If the Main Sellers disagree with such notice,
the Main Sellers shall promptly notify the Purchaser thereof and the Purchaser and the Main Sellers shall then negotiate in good faith to resolve such disagreement. If either (i) the Purchaser and the Main Sellers fail to resolve such
disagreement within ten (10) Business Days from the delivery of the notice to the Purchaser (or such shorter period as will end on the Business Day before the Closing Date), or (ii) the Main Sellers do not object to the notice received
from the Purchaser, the Purchaser’s categorization of such Pre-Signing Customer Contract shall be given effect, save in the case of manifest error. 
 (g) Not later than (30) days from the date hereof, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a list (to be updated each fifteen (15) days thereafter) (the “Non-Qualified
Post-Signing Customer Contract List”) of all the Customer Contracts entered into after the date hereof that fail to meet the Post-Signing Inclusion Criteria (the “Non-Qualified Post-Signing Customer Contracts”) and a list
(to be updated each fifteen (15) days thereafter) that identifies all Major 2009 Customer Contracts entered into after the date hereof (whether they meet the Post-Signing Inclusion Criteria or not). The Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts
to include the relevant Customer Contracts on the first update of the applicable lists following the execution of such Customer Contracts, to the extent commercially practicable. If the Purchaser disagrees with the categorization of a Post-Signing
Customer Contract as a Non-Qualified Post-Signing Customer Contract or becomes aware of a Customer Contract omitted from such list, it shall promptly notify the Main Sellers thereof and, the Purchaser and the Main Sellers shall then negotiate in
good faith to resolve such disagreement or agree on the proper categorization of such omitted Post-Signing Customer Contract. If the Purchaser and the Main Sellers fail to resolve such disagreement or agree on such categorization within ten
(10) Business Days from the delivery of the notice to the Main Sellers (or such shorter period as will end on the relevant Contract Designation Date), then the Purchaser’s categorization of such Post-Signing Customer Contract shall be
given effect, save in the case of manifest error. On or prior to the relevant Contract Designation Date, the Purchaser shall notify the Main Sellers in writing whether the Purchaser elects not to have a Non-Qualified Post-Signing Customer Contract
assigned by the relevant Seller to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser at the Closing (any Customer Contract so designated by the Purchaser for rejection shall be deemed a “Rejected Post-Signing Customer Contract” and shall not
be assigned to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser at Closing). 
 SECTION 5.39. Retention Plan. The Purchaser
shall pay fifteen million dollars ($15 million) of cash payable to employees of the Nortel Group at or, with the consent of the Main Sellers and NNUK, after Closing under an employee retention plan (to be implemented with guidance from Sellers’
management team).
 ARTICLE VI 
 TAX MATTERS 
 SECTION 6.1. Transfer Taxes. 
  

 156 








 (a) The Parties agree that the Purchase Price is exclusive of any Transfer Taxes. The
Purchaser shall (on behalf of itself and the Designated Purchasers) promptly pay directly to the appropriate Tax Authority all applicable Transfer Taxes that may be imposed upon or payable or collectible or incurred in connection with this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated herein, or that may be imposed upon or payable or collectible or incurred in connection with the execution of any other Transaction Document; provided, that if any such Transfer Taxes are required to be
collected, remitted or paid by a Seller or any Subsidiary, Affiliate, representative or agent thereof, such Transfer Taxes shall be paid by the Purchaser to such Seller, Subsidiary, Affiliate or agent, as applicable, at the Closing or thereafter, as
requested of or by the applicable Seller. Upon request from a Seller, the Purchaser shall provide to such Seller an original receipt (or such other evidence as shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Seller) evidencing the payment of Transfer Taxes
by the Purchaser to the applicable Tax Authority under this Section 6.1. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall remain liable in respect of any Transfer Taxes regardless of the date that the Assets are removed from the premises of a Seller
or any Seller’s supplier. All other Closing expenses will be paid by the Party incurring such expenses. 
 (b) If the
Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser wishes to claim any exemption relating to, or a reduced rate of, or make an election with the effect of reducing, Transfer Taxes, in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or in
connection with the execution of any other Transaction Document, the Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser, as the case may be, shall be solely responsible for ensuring that such exemption, reduction or election applies and, in that regard, shall
provide the Sellers prior to Closing with its permit number, GST, VAT, provincial sales taxes or other similar registration numbers and/or any appropriate certificate of exemption, election and/or other document or evidence to support the claimed
entitlement to such exemption or reduction by the Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser, as the case may be. All parties shall make reasonable efforts to cooperate to the extent necessary to obtain any such exemption or reduction. If the Purchaser
or any Designated Purchaser pays any Transfer Taxes pursuant to this Section 6.1 and a Seller thereafter becomes entitled to an actual cash refund for, or an actual reduction in Liability for, Transfer Taxes payable by such Seller in respect of
such Transfer Taxes paid by the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.1, then such Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser or Designated Purchaser for an amount equal to such refund or actual reduction (net of reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such refund or reduction). 
 (c) The applicable Seller(s) and Purchaser (or relevant
Designated Purchaser) will, on or before the Closing, jointly prepare and execute an election, in the prescribed form and containing the prescribed information, to have subsection 167(1) of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) apply to the sale and purchase
of the Assets which would otherwise be subject to GST so that no GST is payable in respect of such sale and purchase under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada). Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser) will file such election with the
relevant Tax Authority in the manner and within the time prescribed by Law and will provide the applicable Seller with a copy of the election and with satisfactory evidence that the election has been filed in a timely manner. The applicable
Seller(s) confirms that it is registered for purposes of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and its GST registration number is 119409258RT0001 (in the case of NNL) and 118802974RT0001 (in the case of Nortel Networks Technology Corporation

  

 157 








 
(“NNTC”). The Parties will make any required elections under corresponding provincial or territorial laws and the foregoing provisions will apply mutatis mutandis in
respect thereof. Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser) shall be responsible and indemnify and hold harmless the applicable Seller(s) for any GST (and any comparable provincial Taxes) to the extent payable notwithstanding the elections
contemplated by this Section, plus any interest and/or penalties payable as a consequence thereof. 
 SECTION 6.2.
Withholding Taxes. Subject to Section 2.4, the Purchaser and the Designated Purchasers shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price, and the Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Reverse
Termination Fee, such amounts as the Purchaser or Designated Purchasers, as the case may be, are required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the
extent such amounts are so withheld by the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as having been paid to the relevant Seller in
respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by such Purchaser or Designated Purchaser. None of the Parties is aware of any obligation to deduct and withhold any amounts from the Purchase Price or the Reverse Termination Fee under the
Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment. If any of the Parties learns of any such obligation on or prior to the Closing Date, then (i) in the case of a Seller, such Seller shall
promptly provide reasonable notice of such obligation to the Purchaser, and (ii) in the case of the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall promptly provide reasonable notice of such obligation to the Sellers. The Parties shall make reasonable efforts
to cooperate in good faith to minimize the amounts that the Purchaser or Designated Purchasers, as the case may be, are required to deduct and withhold. 
 SECTION 6.3. Tax Characterization of Payments Under This Agreement. The Sellers and the Purchaser agree to treat all payments made either to or for the benefit of the other Party under this
Agreement (other than payment of the Estimated Purchase Price and any interest payments) as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof to the extent permitted under applicable Tax Law.

 SECTION 6.4. Apportionment of Taxes. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article VI, (i) the Sellers shall and shall cause the Other Sellers, as the case may be, to
bear all Taxes of any kind relating to the Assets or the conduct or operation of the Business (including Taxes in respect of the income, business, property or operations of the Companies) for all Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before
the Closing Date and (ii) the Purchaser shall and shall cause the Designated Purchasers to bear all Taxes relating to the Assets or the conduct or operation of the Business (including Taxes in respect of the income, business, property or
operations of the Companies) for all Tax periods or portions thereof beginning after the Closing Date. 
 (b) For purposes of
this Agreement, any Taxes for a “Straddle Period” (a Tax period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date) shall be apportioned between the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser and the Designated Purchasers, on the
other hand, based on the portion of the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the portion of

  

 158 








 
the period beginning after the Closing Date, respectively. The amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Business (including the business and operations of the
Companies) shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Taxable Period and the Post-Closing Taxable Period on a closing-of-the-books basis. The amount of other Taxes shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Taxable Period and the Post-Closing
Taxable Period in the following manner: (i) in the case of a Tax imposed in respect of property (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any income Tax) and that applies ratably to a Straddle Period, the amount of Tax allocable to a portion of
the Straddle Period shall be the total amount of such Tax for the period in question multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days in such portion of such Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the total
number of days in such Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of sales, value-added and similar transaction-based Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes allocated under Section 6.1), such Taxes shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle
Period in which the relevant transaction occurred. 
 SECTION 6.5. Section 338 Election. Upon the written
request of the Purchaser, in its sole and exclusive discretion, (x) the Sellers and the Purchaser or, as applicable, any Designated Purchaser shall join in making elections under Code section 338(h)(10) (and any corresponding election under
state, local, or foreign law) (a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the Purchaser’s (or any Designated Purchaser’s) purchase of the Shares of the Companies pursuant to this Agreement, or (y) the Sellers
shall make or cause to be made such stock basis reduction elections under Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-36(d)(6)(i)(A) (“Loss Duplication Elections”) as are necessary to reduce as far as possible the potential for loss
duplication. The Purchaser shall indemnify the Sellers for any actual Tax Liability that (i) arises during the taxable year that includes the Closing Date or the two (2) taxable years immediately following and (ii) would not have
arisen but for a Section 338(h)(10) Election or a Loss Duplication Election made pursuant to this Section 6.5; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to indemnify the Sellers for any Tax Liabilities pursuant
to this Section 6.5 with respect to which the Sellers do not deliver notice to the Purchaser prior to December 31, 2013. 
 SECTION 6.6. Records. 
 (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.24, but subject to the
provisions of Section 5.6, (i) after the Closing Date, the Purchaser, the Designated Purchasers and the Companies, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, will make available to the other, as reasonably requested, and to any
Tax Authority, all information, records or documents relating to liability for Taxes with respect to the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Business or the Companies for all periods prior to or including the Closing Date (including Straddle
Periods), and will preserve such information, records or documents until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof, and (ii) in the event that one party needs access to records in the possession of a second
party relating to any of the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Business or the Companies for purposes of preparing Tax Returns or complying with any Tax audit request, subpoena or other investigative demand by any Tax Authority, or for any other
legitimate Tax-related purpose not injurious to the second party, the second party will allow representatives of the other party access to such records during regular business hours at the second party’s place of business for the sole purpose
of obtaining information for use as aforesaid and will permit such other party to make extracts and copies

  

 159 








 
thereof as may be necessary or convenient. The obligation to cooperate pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall terminate at the time the relevant applicable statute of limitations expires (giving
effect to any extension thereof). 
 (b) On or prior to Closing, the Sellers shall cause copies of Restricted Technical Records
to be placed into escrow with the Records Custodian, who shall hold such Restricted Technical Records for ten (10) years in accordance with an escrow agreement between the Purchaser, the Sellers and the Records Custodian, in form satisfactory
to the Purchaser and the Seller. The escrow agreement will provide for access to the copies of the Restricted Technical Records only by the relevant Canadian Tax Authority or by tax advisors of any purchaser (“Tax Credit Purchaser”)
of the scientific research and experimental development Tax credits of the Sellers under the Income Tax Act (Canada), and only if such advisors have executed an appropriate confidentiality agreement in form satisfactory to the Purchaser. The access
permitted by the escrow agreement shall be only for the limited purpose of defending any audit, claim or action by any Canadian Tax Authority in respect of the characterization of expenditures by NNL or NNTC as qualified expenditures on scientific
research and experimental development for purposes of the applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (“Qualified Expenditures”). 
 (c) The Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to make available to the relevant Taxing Authority or Tax advisors of the Tax Credit Purchaser, those former employees of NNL or NNTC, as the case may be,
with direct knowledge of the Qualified Expenditures who are then employed by the Purchaser and whose cooperation is necessary for the purpose of defending any audit, claim or action by any Taxing Authority of the characterization of expenditures by
NNL or NNTC, as the case may be, as Qualified Expenditures, and provided that such advisors have executed an appropriate confidentiality agreement satisfactory to the Purchaser. 
 (d) The Purchaser shall have no obligation to provide any access under this provision unless the Seller (if there is no Tax Credit Purchaser
in respect of the request for access) or the Tax Credit Purchaser pays all the Purchaser’s reasonable expenses in connection with the foregoing provisions, including a reasonable per diem rate for access to former employees of NNL or NNTC, as
the case may be (based on the total compensation of the employee at the time access is provided). 
 (e) On or prior to Closing,
the Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to calculate and provide to the Purchaser (with expenses reasonably allocable to such calculations split evenly between the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand)
historical data relating to the qualified research expenses and gross receipts of the Business pursuant to Section 41 of the Code (including in particular Section 41(f)(3)(A) of the Code) and any analogous data under corresponding
provisions of state, local or foreign law as requested by the Purchasers, provided that such historical data is available to the Sellers or could be made available to the Sellers with Sellers’ reasonable best efforts. Sellers shall use
their reasonable best efforts to update such historical data to reflect any relevant adjustments arising after the Closing and provide copies of any such updates to the Purchaser within 10 days of the date on which such adjustment is made.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall require Sellers to indemnify the Purchaser to the extent a credit of the Purchaser under section 41 of the

  

 160 








 
Code (or any corresponding provisions of state, local or foreign law) is unavailable or challenged by the relevant Taxing Authority. 
 SECTION 6.7. Tax Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except as reasonably necessary to
comply with applicable securities laws and regulations, any party may (i) consult any Tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income Tax treatment or Tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) disclose to any
and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal income Tax treatment and Tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereunder and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other Tax analyses) that are provided to the
taxpayer relating to such Tax treatment and Tax structure (but without disclosure of identifying information or any non-public commercial or financial information); provided, however, that clause (ii) of this paragraph shall not apply
until the date of the public announcement of the execution of this Agreement and performance of the transactions contemplated hereunder. For this purpose, “Tax structure” is limited to any facts relevant to the U.S. federal income Tax
treatment of the transactions contemplated hereunder. 
 SECTION 6.8. Tax Returns. 
 (a) The Sellers shall be responsible for the preparation and timely filing (taking into account any extensions received from the relevant
Tax Authorities) of all Tax Returns in respect of the Assets, the Business or the Companies, for all Pre-Closing Taxable Periods (other than any Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes (“Transfer Tax Returns”) described below in
Section 6.8(b)). Such Tax Returns shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Taxes indicated as due and payable on such Tax Returns shall be paid by (or shall be caused to
be paid by) Sellers as and when required by Law. In every case permitted by Law, the Sellers shall elect to treat the Closing Date as the close of a taxable period, so as to minimize the number of Straddle Period Tax Returns and Straddle Periods.

 (b) Each Transfer Tax Return with respect to Transfer Taxes imposed in respect of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereunder or in respect of the execution of any other Transaction Document shall be prepared by the Party that customarily has primary responsibility for filing such Transfer Tax Return pursuant to the applicable Tax Laws. Any Transfer
Tax Returns prepared by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.8(b) shall be made available to the Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days before such Tax Returns are due to be filed. Notwithstanding the above, the Sellers shall use
their reasonable best efforts to make available to the Purchaser such information as will enable the Purchaser to review that portion of the Transfer Tax Returns applicable to the sale and purchase transaction contemplated by this Agreement no later
than eight (8) Business Days prior to the date on which such Tax Returns are due to be filed. The Purchaser shall be entitled to review and comment on any Transfer Tax Return prepared by a Seller prior to making any payment in respect thereof,
such comments to be provided at least three (3) Business Days before such Transfer Tax Returns are due to be filed, and in the event of disagreement between the Parties, the relevant Transfer Tax Return shall be filed in accordance with the
Purchaser’s reasonable comments, it being understood that the Purchaser shall remain responsible for any Transfer Taxes whether or not shown on such Tax Return. The Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers any amount of Transfer Taxes payable in
respect

  

 161 








 
of Transfer Tax Returns to be filed by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.8(b) at least one (1) Business Day before such Transfer Tax becomes due and payable. 
 (c) The Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser shall be responsible for the preparation and timely filing (taking into account any extensions
received from the relevant Tax Authorities) of all Tax Returns with respect to the Assets, the Business or the Companies for all Post-Closing Taxable Periods and Straddle Periods. Such Tax Returns shall be true, correct and complete in all material
respects and shall be prepared on a basis consistent with Tax Returns prepared for prior taxable periods unless a different treatment of any item is required by an intervening change in Law or this Transaction. All Taxes indicated as due and payable
on such Tax Returns shall be paid by (or shall be caused to be paid by) the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser as and when required by Law, except for such Taxes that are the responsibility of the Sellers pursuant to this Article VI; such Taxes
shall be paid to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date for the applicable Straddle Period Tax Return. 
 (d) The Sellers shall be entitled to review and comment on any Tax Return (other than a Transfer Tax Return described in Section 6.8(b)) prepared by the Purchaser, a Designated Purchaser or the
Companies for any Straddle Period before any such Tax Return is filed. The Purchaser shall submit a draft of any such Tax Return to the Main Sellers at least sixty (60) days before the date such Tax Return is required to be filed with the
relevant Tax Authority (provided, however, that if the information necessary to prepare a draft of any such Tax Return is not available to the Purchaser at least ninety (90) days before the date such Tax Return is required to be filed
with the relevant Tax Authority, then the timeframe set forth in Section 6.8(e) shall apply). The Main Sellers shall have fifteen (15) days after the date of receipt thereof to submit to the Purchaser, in writing, the Main Sellers’
written comments with respect to such Tax Return. The Purchaser shall notify the Main Sellers within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such comments of (a) the extent, if any, to which the Purchaser accepts such comments and will file
such Tax Return in accordance therewith and (b) the extent, if any, to which the Purchaser rejects such comments. To the extent the Purchaser rejects the comments of the Main Sellers, the Purchaser and the Main Sellers promptly shall negotiate
in good faith to resolve their disagreements; if no agreement has been reached within ten (10) days, the parties immediately shall appoint an Accounting Arbitrator to determine the correct manner for reporting the items that are in dispute and
shall provide to the Accounting Arbitrator all relevant information. The Accounting Arbitrator shall have fifteen (15) days to submit its determination, which shall be binding upon the Parties, and the Purchaser shall file such Tax Return in
accordance therewith. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be paid by the Party whose position is deemed to be least correct by the Accounting Arbitrator. 
 (e) If the information necessary to prepare a draft of any Tax Return for a Straddle Period (other than a Transfer Tax Return described in
Section 6.8(b)) is not available to the Purchaser at least ninety (90) days before the date such Tax Return is required to be filed with the relevant Tax Authority, then (i) the Purchaser shall submit a draft of such Tax Return to the
Main Sellers as soon as practicable after such information becomes available (but in no event later than the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days after the necessary information becomes available to the Purchaser or to a Designated Purchaser,
or (b) twenty-one (21) days before the date such Tax Return is required to be filed with the relevant Tax Authority), (ii) the Main Sellers shall provide

  

 162 








 
their comments to the Purchaser as soon as practicable, the Purchaser shall respond to such comments as soon as practicable and, if necessary, the Parties shall appoint an Accounting Arbitrator
as soon as practicable (but in no event shall the Accounting Arbitrator be appointed later than ten (10) days before the date such Tax Return is required to be filed with the relevant Tax Authority), and (iii) the Accounting Arbitrator
shall have no more than five (5) days to submit its determination. 
 SECTION 6.9. Tax Sharing Agreements. Any
Tax allocation or sharing agreement or arrangement entered into by any Seller, on the one hand, and the Companies, on the other hand, shall be extinguished and terminated as of the Closing Date. 
 SECTION 6.10. Canadian Tax Election. 
 (a) The Sellers and the Purchaser acknowledge that a portion of the Assets transferred pursuant to this Agreement by the Sellers to the Purchaser or each Designated Purchaser which is a resident of Canada
for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) is being transferred to the Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser) in consideration for the Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser) assuming prepaid obligations of the Seller to deliver
goods or provide services in the future. The Sellers and the Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser) will prepare, execute and file, on a timely basis and using any prescribed form, a joint election under subsection 20(24) of the Income Tax
Act (Canada) as to such assumption hereunder, and prepare their respective Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such joint election. The elected amount will be jointly determined by the Sellers and the Purchaser (or relevant Designated
Purchaser), acting reasonably. The Sellers and the Purchaser (or relevant Designated Purchaser) will make any required elections under corresponding provincial or territorial law and the foregoing provisions will apply mutatis mutandis in
respect thereof. 
 (b) To the extent the Seller and the Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser) cannot agree on the
amount to be elected under subsection 20(24) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), the Seller and the Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser) promptly shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their disagreements; if no agreement has been reached
within five (5) days, the relevant parties immediately shall appoint an Accounting Arbitrator to determine the correct amount to be elected and shall provide to the Accounting Arbitrator all relevant information. The Accounting Arbitrator shall
have thirty (30) days to submit its determination, which shall be binding upon the Parties, and the Parties shall file all relevant elections and Tax Returns in accordance therewith. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be
paid by the Party whose position is deemed to be least correct by the Accounting Arbitrator. 
 SECTION 6.11.
Cooperation. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the conduct of any Tax audit, investigation, dispute, or appeal relating to any Pre-Closing Taxable Period. 
  

 163 








 ARTICLE VII 
 EMPLOYMENT MATTERS 
 SECTION 7.1. Employment Obligations with Respect to
Non-Union Employees. Except as provided in the first sentence of Section 7.1.1, the first sentence of Section 7.1.2(c)(ii) and except as the schedules referenced in Section 7.1.2(e) may apply to Union Employees, the provisions of
this Section 7.1 shall apply to Non-Union Employees. 
 7.1.1. Employment Terms. Purchaser hereby agrees to offer
employment to that aggregate number of Employees (other than Share Transfer Employees) set forth in Section 7.1.1 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule (which Section 7.1.1 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule shall separately identify that
number of Employees (including Union Employees in Canada) to be offered employment in each of Canada, China/Hong Kong/Taiwan, and the United States, and the aggregate number of Employees to be offered employment in each of the Remaining APAC
Countries and the Remaining CALA Countries). Within thirty (30) days following the date hereof, the Purchaser shall identify the minimum aggregate number of employees in Australia/Japan to whom the Purchaser shall make an offer of employment,
provided that, promptly after the date hereof, the relevant Sellers have permitted the Purchaser access to such information as the Purchaser reasonably requires in accordance with Sections 5.6(a) and 7.4(d) in order to make such
identifications (except as prohibited by Law). Within one hundred and five (105) days following the date hereof, the Purchaser shall notify the Sellers of the identity of the Employees (other than Share Transfer Employees or other Employees
whose employment transfers automatically by operation of Law to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser) the Purchaser and/or the Designated Purchasers intend to hire as of the Closing Date. Promptly following the latest of the granting of the U.S.
Sale Order and the Canadian Approval and Vesting Order and receipt of Regulatory Approvals, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause a Designated Purchaser to, extend a written offer of employment in a manner that provides no less than a two-week
Employee consideration period (“Offer Consideration Period”), in a form agreed by the Primary Parties and in compliance with applicable Law, to those Employees identified by Purchaser in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence, with such employment to take effect under the terms stated herein as of the Effective Hire Date, as defined below. Such offers shall, except to the extent otherwise required by Law, be for employment on terms and conditions that are
substantially comparable to those terms and conditions of employment of similarly situated employees of the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, as applicable, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall include (i) an annual
base salary for each such Employee that is equal to the annual base salary for such Employee as set out in the Employee Information, (ii) employment in a reasonably comparable position as set out for the Employee in the Employee Information,
(iii) a location reasonably contiguous to their current location as set out in the Employee Information and (iv) other terms and conditions of employment as set forth in this Section 7.1. Purchaser shall provide in its offers of
employment that the Employee’s acceptance of such offer will be deemed to be a consent to the transfer of his particular Employee Record. Share Transfer Employees and Employees whose employment transfers by operation of Law shall be employed on
terms and conditions of employment that are no less favorable than those set out in the sentence before the preceding sentence. For purposes of this Agreement, to the extent certain terms and conditions of employment are required to be maintained
under applicable Law or Seller Employee Plans in order to avoid Sellers’ incurring

  

 164 








 
severance or other employment termination obligations or Liability under the WARN Act with respect to Employees at any time after the Closing Date such terms and conditions shall be deemed to be
required by applicable Law. Seller shall provide to the Purchaser such available and relevant information, and Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith, so as to enable Purchaser to comply with its undertakings under this
Section 7.1.1. Employees’ employment with Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser or, with respect to Share Transfer Employees or other Employees whose employment transfers by operation of Law, continued employment after the Employee Transfer
Date, shall not include a probationary period and shall not be conditioned upon such employees satisfactorily completing a background investigation, drug test or other employment screening processes unless such screening process is required by
applicable Law, a relevant Purchaser contract, or other customer requirement; provided, however, the Purchaser or Designated Purchaser may require Employees to provide evidence that they are legally permitted to be employed by the Purchaser
or a Designated Purchaser, as required by applicable Law. Purchaser shall notify the Main Sellers of the acceptance and rejections of offers of employment that have been received from each of the Employees (x) on at least a weekly basis during
the Offer Consideration Period and (y) in total within three (3) Business Days following the end of the Offer Consideration Period. Any Employee who accepts such offer of employment and commences employment with Purchaser or a Designated
Purchaser, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, and any Employees whose employment transfers by operation of Law and Share Transfer Employees, shall all be deemed to be a Transferred Employee for all purposes of this Agreement. Inactive
Employees shall remain employed by the relevant Seller until the first Business Day immediately following the date the Inactive Employee is released to return to active employment in accordance with Sellers’ leave policies and on which such
Inactive Employee reports to work with the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser. The Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts from the date hereof until the Closing Date to obtain, at its cost, such visas or permits as
are required for it to employ Employees with visas or permits as indicated in the Employee Information. Visa Employees and Other Loaned Employees shall remain employed by the relevant Seller under the terms and conditions of the Loaned Employee
Agreement. The Effective Hire Date for Non-Union Employees is (a) the Employee Transfer Date for those Employees other than Inactive Employees, Visa Employees and Other Loaned Employees, (b) 12:01 a.m. on the first Business Day following
the release to return to active employment from leave for all Inactive Employees and on which such Inactive Employee reports to work with the Purchaser or Designated Purchaser and (c) the date specified in the Loaned Employee Agreement with
respect to Visa Employees and Other Loaned Employees. 
 7.1.2. Employee Benefits. 
 (a) The Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser shall, and shall cause its relevant Affiliates to, recognize the service date of each
Transferred Employee as set out in the Employee Information, to the same extent that service credit would be given under the analogous Seller Employee Plan, for purposes of eligibility and vesting, and with respect to any severance or vacation plan,
the determination of levels of benefits, but not for purposes of benefit accrual, or otherwise for determination of the amount or duration of benefits under any Purchaser Employee Plans, except (i) with respect to Transferred Employee Plans, or
(ii) as otherwise required by applicable Law. 
  

 165 








 (b) After the date hereof, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall cooperate promptly and in
good faith in preparing the transition of the Transferred Employees as applicable from coverage under the Seller Employee Plans to coverage under the Purchaser Employee Plans effective as of the Transferred Employee’s Effective Hire Date.

 (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its relevant Affiliates to, provide
the following benefits to Transferred Employees: 
 (i) For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending
on the date that is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its relevant Affiliates to, provide Transferred Employees with the same severance payments and benefits as similarly situated employees of
Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser. 
 (ii) Where the Sellers determine they are required by applicable Law or
policy to pay the amount of compensation with respect to such accrued and unused vacation days that are due and owing to Transferred Employees, including Union Employees, as of their Effective Hire Date, the Sellers shall pay such amount within 30
days following their Effective Hire Date, or such earlier time as may be required by Law. Upon certification by an officer of the Sellers to the Purchaser of the actual payment of such amount to any such Transferred Employee and withholding and
payment of Taxes in connection therewith, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for such payment within 10 Business Days of the receipt of such certification. The Purchaser will, and will cause the relevant Designated Purchasers to, make
reasonable best efforts to accommodate time off requests of such Transferred Employees until such time as they accrue sufficient paid time off under the Purchaser Employee Plans to address their vacation plans. 
 (iii) Section 7.1.2(c)(iii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule will set forth the amount of accrued and unused vacation
days that are due and owing to the Transferred Employees within 15 Business Days after Purchaser notifies Sellers of the Employees to whom employment offers will be made pursuant to Section 7.1.1 as of the date hereof and such amount shall be
updated by the Sellers as of each Transferred Employee’s Effective Hire Date. The Purchaser shall, or shall cause its relevant Affiliates to, grant each such Transferred Employee (other than those Loaned Employees whose accrued and unused
vacation days are cashed out by Sellers or their Affiliates in connection with the termination of employment with Sellers or their Affiliates and those Transferred Employees whose accrued and unused vacation days are cashed out in accordance with
Section 7.1.2(c)(ii) above) paid time off in an amount equal to such accrued unused vacation days set forth for such Transferred Employee in the applicable Section of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule. If such Transferred Employee terminates
employment with the Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser prior to receiving such paid time off, as described above, the Purchaser shall pay such Transferred Employee an amount equal to any such unused paid time off upon such employment
termination; provided that the Purchaser shall only be required to make such payment if such Transferred Employee’s employment terminates

  

 166 








 
prior to the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. 
 (iv) Under the vacation policy of the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser, the vacation accrual rate and maximum
accrual of each Transferred Employee on and after the Effective Hire Date shall be determined under the vacation policy of the Purchaser or its relevant Affiliate following the crediting of such Transferred Employee with service as provided in
Section 7.1.2(a). For the avoidance of doubt, such vacation accrual rate and maximum accrual applicable to Transferred Employees whose accrued vacation is specified in Section 7.1.2(c)(iii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule (other than
Transferred Employees whose accrued and unused vacation days are cashed out in accordance with Section 7.1.2(c)(ii) above) shall not be decreased prior to the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, or later if
required by applicable Law, by the Purchaser or its Affiliates as a result of the obligation in Section 7.1.2(c)(iii) that Purchaser or its Affiliates grant or compensate such Employees with respect to accrued and unused vacation days due and
owing as of the Effective Hire Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Transferred Employees shall have only through and until the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, or later if required by applicable Law, during
which to use accrued and unused vacation days due and owing as of the Effective Hire Date. Any such accrued vacation days that remain unused at such time shall be automatically forfeited. 
 (v) The Purchaser or Designated Purchaser shall provide each Transferred Employee employed in India with the benefit of the
amount set forth on Section 7.1.2(c)(v) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule of gratuity payment, at such time, if any, as such payment thereof is due and owing to each such Transferred Employee under applicable Law, taking into account in the
calculation of such payment the service of such Transferred Employee as set forth in the Employee Information and such Transferred Employee’s service with Purchaser on and after the Closing Date. The Purchaser or Designated Purchaser shall
provide each Transferred Employee employed in Australia with the benefit of the amount set forth on Section 7.1.2(c)(v) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule of long service leave and sick leave, at such time, if any, as payment of such amount is
due and owing to each such Transferred Employee under applicable Law, taking into account in the calculation of such payment the service of such Transferred Employee as set forth in the Employee Information and such Transferred Employee’s
service with Purchaser on and after the Closing Date. Section 7.1.2(c)(v) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule shall be updated no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date to reflect employee hiring, promotions, demotions,
transfers or other status changes and attrition, and further accruals or reductions or other changes from the date hereof to the Closing Date, in each case if and only to the extent permitted under Section 5.9. 
 (vi) For the avoidance of doubt, Inactive Employees as of the Closing Date will be listed on Section 2.2.8 of the
Sellers Disclosure Schedule, Section

  

 167 








 
7.1.2(c)(iii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule and Section 7.1.2(c)(v) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, provided, however, that unless and until such Inactive
Employees become Transferred Employees, the Purchaser shall have no obligation with respect to Inactive Employees under this Section 7.1.2(c). 
 (d) Except with respect to Share Transfer Employees or any Employee whose benefits are specified by applicable Law, each Transferred Employee (and their eligible dependents, as applicable), shall be
eligible as of the relevant Effective Hire Date to participate in and accrue benefits under the Purchaser Employee Plans, in each case under the terms of such Purchaser Employee Plans, which apply to employees of the Purchaser or a Designated
Purchaser in the country where such Transferred Employee is employed as of the relevant Effective Hire Date and at a cost to such Transferred Employee, which is substantially comparable to the costs of those parallel benefit plans of similarly
situated employees of the Purchaser. With respect to each Transferred Employee (and their eligible dependents, as applicable), the Purchaser or the relevant Purchaser’s Affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such plans to
(i) waive any eligibility periods, evidence of insurability or pre-existing condition limitations and (ii) honor any deductibles, co-payments, co-insurance or out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by such employees, including with
respect to their dependents, under comparable Seller Employee Plans during the Purchaser Employee Plan year in which the relevant Effective Hire Date occurs, provided that such employee provides an explanation of benefits or similar
documentation of such expenses paid or incurred to the Purchaser or its Affiliates. With respect to Transferred Employees who are Share Transfer Employees, the above provisions shall apply to any Purchaser Employee Plan that the Purchaser offers to
such Transferred Employees but not with respect to any Transferred Employee Plans. Nothing in this paragraph or otherwise in this Article 7 shall be construed as constituting an amendment of any employee benefit plan. 
 (e) The Parties agree to comply with provisions set forth in Section 7.1.2(e) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, relating to Canadian
Pension Plans. 
 (f) Neither Section 7.1.1 nor this Section 7.1.2 restricts the right of the Purchaser to terminate
the employment of any Transferred Employee after the Closing, provided any such termination is effected in accordance with applicable Law, the terms of any applicable Purchaser Employee Plan or Transferred Employee Plan and the terms and
conditions of this Section 7.1. 
 SECTION 7.2. Employment Obligations with Respect to Union Employees. The
provisions of this Section 7.2 shall apply to Union Employees. As of the Closing Date, the Purchaser or its relevant Affiliate will be bound by the terms and obligations of the Collective Labor Agreements specified in the Employee Information
with respect to the employment of the relevant Union Employees as a successor, assign or purchaser of the relevant Seller and shall employ the Union Employees in accordance therewith. 
 SECTION 7.3. Excluded Employee Liabilities. For purposes of clarity, except as otherwise provided in the Loaned Employee
Agreement, the Sellers shall retain, and neither

  

 168 








 
the Purchaser nor any of the Designated Purchasers shall assume at the Closing, any of the following Liabilities of the Sellers (the “Excluded Employee Liabilities”): 

(a) except with respect to any Share Transfer Employees of the NGS Companies and/or their qualified beneficiaries, any obligation to
provide continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA under any Seller Employee Plan that is a “group health plan” (as defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code) to any Transferred Employees and/or their qualified beneficiaries who have a
COBRA qualifying event prior to such Employees’ Effective Hire Date;

 SECTION 7.4. Other Employee Covenants. 
 (a) After the date hereof, and subject to each Party’s disclosure obligations imposed by Law or by Government Entities and each
Party’s obligations hereunder, the Parties shall not, and shall procure that each of their Affiliates shall not, issue any announcement or communication to their respective employees or the Employees, prior to consultation with, and the
approval of, the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any announcement or communication to any individual employee that the Purchaser is
required to provide under applicable Law). Each Party shall cooperate in respect of the development and distribution of any announcement and communication to the employees of the other Party including Employees thereof, with respect to this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (b) The Purchaser undertakes to keep the Employee Information in
confidence and that, until the relevant Employee Transfer Date with respect to those Employees who

  

 169 








 
become Transferred Employees, and at all times with respect to those Employees who do not become Transferred Employees: 
 (i) the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Designated Purchasers to, restrict the disclosure of the Employee Information
only to such of its employees, agents and advisors as is reasonably appropriate for the purposes of complying with its obligations pursuant to this Agreement prior to the Employee Transfer Date; 
 (ii) the Employee Information shall not be disclosed to any other Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other
employee of the Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser or other Affiliate of the Purchaser) without the consent of the Main Sellers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; 
 (iii) the Employee Information shall not be used except for the purposes of complying with the obligations of the Purchaser
and the Designated Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement, and for the purposes reasonably related to the same, and shall be returned to the Sellers or destroyed, at the Sellers’ election, if this Agreement is terminated; and 
 (iv) the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Designated Purchasers to, comply with such additional obligations as may be
reasonably required in any particular jurisdiction to comply with any applicable data privacy Laws. 
 (c) The Sellers shall use
reasonable efforts to provide updated Employee Information to the Purchaser on the first Business Day of each month beginning after the date hereof, provided that from and after the date on which the Purchaser determines its final list of
Employees to whom offers shall be made under Section 7.1.1, Sellers shall provide updated Employee Information only with respect to such Employees, and shall provide the Purchaser with the final updated Employee Information with respect to
those Employees to whom the Purchaser has made offers of employment under Section 7.1.1 ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date in order to reflect Employee hiring, promotions, demotions, transfers, or other status changes and
attrition, and further accruals or reductions or, if and to the extent applicable to such Schedule, other changes in a Transferred Employee’s compensation from the date hereof to the Closing Date, in each case if and only to the extent
permitted under Section 5.9. 
 (d) The Purchaser and the Sellers shall cooperate with each other in connection with the
process by which Employees are designated to become or not become Transferred Employees, and otherwise provide for an orderly transition of the Transferred Employees from the Sellers to the Purchaser or the Designated Purchasers, as applicable, and
to minimize the disruption to the respective businesses of the Parties resulting from the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, within 105 days following the date hereof, the Sellers agree to commence
discussions with the Purchaser regarding the identity of the Employees who will be offered employment under Section 7.1.1, and promptly after the date hereof, as permitted by applicable Law, provide the Purchaser reasonable access to books,
records, personnel files, or other documentation as provided in

  

 170 








 
Section 5.6(a). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Section 5.6(a), the Sellers agree to use reasonable best efforts to obtain any consent of employees necessary to provide the
Purchaser with such access. 
 (e) During the Non-Solicitation Period the Sellers shall not, and shall not permit, cause or
encourage any of their Affiliates to, without the advance written consent of Purchaser, either directly or indirectly solicit for employment, hire or otherwise engage to provide services any Transferred Employee or other employee of the Purchaser or
Designated Purchaser unless the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser involuntarily terminate the employment of such employee, without cause, prior to such action by the Sellers; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.4(e) shall
prevent the Sellers from conducting generalized employment searches, including placing bona fide public advertisements, that are not specifically targeted at such Transferred Employees. During the Non-Solicitation Period, Purchaser and the
Designated Purchasers shall not, and shall not permit, cause or encourage any of their Affiliates to, without the Seller’s advance written consent, either directly or indirectly solicit for employment, hire or otherwise engage to provide
services (i) any of the employees of the Sellers (other than Employees), unless the Sellers involuntarily terminate the employment of such employee, without cause, prior to such action by the Purchaser or the Designated Purchasers, or
(ii) any Employees who have rejected the employment offer of Purchaser or a Designated Purchasers or objected to their transfer of employment to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or Employees to whom Purchaser
or a Designated Purchaser did not make an offer pursuant to Section 7.1.1; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.4(e) shall prevent Purchaser or the Designated Purchasers from conducting generalized employment searches,
including placing bona fide public advertisements, that are not specifically targeted at such employees or former employees of the Designated Sellers. 
 (f) As of the Effective Hire Date, the Sellers shall release any non-competition or confidentiality obligations in respect of the Business or Assets binding to the Transferred Employees which would
survive the termination of the employment relationship between the Sellers and the Transferred Employees. For the avoidance of doubt, this release shall operate only to facilitate the Transferred Employees’ employment with the Purchaser or a
Designated Purchaser, as applicable, in the Business and the subject non-competition and confidentiality obligations shall remain in full force and effect as to all other aspects of the Sellers’ business and all other Persons. 
 (g) Each Party shall reasonably cooperate to communicate relevant information to Employees relating to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereunder, and shall provide copies of all notices required by Law and related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the other Party. Each Party shall provide copies of such communications to the other Party reasonably
in advance of distribution, and shall provide an opportunity for such other Party to comment. 
 (h) In the event and for so
long as Seller is actively contesting or defending against any third party Action in which the Employee Records are pertinent, the Purchaser or Designated Purchaser agrees to provide reasonable access to Employee Records, at the cost of the Sellers.

Arabia in respect of the Business shall be treated as based in Saudi Arabia for purposes of Schedule 6 to the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such employees who are selected by the Purchaser or relevant EMEA Designated
Purchaser pursuant to Paragraph 1.1.12 of Schedule 6 to the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement shall be deemed to be Non-ARD Transferring Employees (as defined in the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement) for the purposes of the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, the employees listed in Section 7.4(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule are not deemed to be Employees or Transferred Employees for the purposes of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.5. No Amendment of Plans. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, no provision of this Agreement is
intended to, or does, constitute the establishment or adoption of, or amendment to, any employee benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of, or subject to, ERISA), and no person participating in any such employee benefit plan
maintained by either the Seller or the Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser, shall have any claim or cause of action, under ERISA or otherwise, in respect of any provision of this Agreement as it relates to any such employee benefit plan or
otherwise.

Asset Sale Agreement, as applicable, and, in each case, which, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within the applicable Breach Cure Period, the Sellers and the EMEA Sellers shall pay the Purchaser an aggregate amount in cash equal to the
total amount of all reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all filing and
notification fees, and all fees and expenses of the Purchaser’s representatives (the “Expense Reimbursement”); provided, however, that the Expense Reimbursement shall not be payable in the event that the Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(vi) if at the time of such termination (i) the condition set forth in Section 8.1(a) is not satisfied and (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(b), Section 8.1(d),
Section 8.3(a), Section 8.3(b), Section 8.3(d) and Section 8.3(e) are satisfied other than any failure to satisfy any such condition listed in clause (ii) that is caused by the failure to obtain any Antitrust Approval or an
Intentional Breach by Purchaser of this Agreement which, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within the applicable Breach Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Expense Reimbursement shall not exceed $9,500,000 in the aggregate
(the “Expense Reimbursement Limit”). If the Expense Reimbursement does not exceed the Expense Reimbursement Limit, the Sellers and the EMEA Sellers agree that the Expense Reimbursement is a reasonable amount given the size and
complexity of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement. The Expense Reimbursement shall be paid by wire transfer or other means reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser not later than five (5) Business
Days following the receipt by the Main Sellers and NNUK of written notice from the Purchaser describing the fees and expenses that constitute the Expense Reimbursement in reasonable detail. 
 (c) The Sellers shall pay two-thirds (2/3) and the EMEA Debtors shall pay one-third (1/3) of each of the Break-Up Fee and the
Expense Reimbursement if payable hereunder. The Sellers’ and the EMEA Debtors’ obligations to pay their respective shares of the Break-Up Fee and the Expense Reimbursement pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be several and not joint
(but the obligation of the Sellers to pay two-thirds (2/3) of each of the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement shall be joint and several among the Sellers and the obligation of

  

 180 








 
the EMEA Debtors to pay one-third (1/3) of each of the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement shall be joint and several among the EMEA Debtors) and shall survive termination of this
Agreement or the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement and shall (i) to the extent owed by the U.S. Debtors constitute an administrative expense of the U.S. Debtors under sections 503(b) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and (ii) to the extent owed by the
EMEA Debtors, constitute an expense of the administration under Paragraph 99 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986 and/ or Rule 2.67 of the Insolvency Rules 1986; provided, however, in the event that any Seller or any EMEA Seller or any
Affiliate of any Seller or EMEA Seller agrees to pay a break-up fee or expense reimbursement to any subsequent purchaser of assets or shares, with an unadjusted, aggregate purchase price greater than or equal to $100,000,000 and such break-up fee or
expense reimbursement has priority over any administrative expenses specified in section 503(b) or 507(b) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, then the portion of the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement payable to the Purchaser or its Affiliates by the
Sellers shall have administrative expense status under section 364(c) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with priority over any and all administrative expenses specified in section 503(b) or 507(b) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (to the extent such concept is
applicable to such Sellers). 
 SECTION 9.3. Reverse Termination Fee. 
 (a) The Purchaser shall pay the Reverse Termination Fee to the Distribution Agent (as agent for the Sellers and the EMEA Sellers) in the
event that: 
 (i) this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.1(i); or 
 (ii) (A) At the time of termination of the Agreement (1) the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a) of this
Agreement or Clause 15.1.3 of the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement have not been satisfied, (2) any Regulatory Approval(s) require any divestiture, license or hold separate or similar arrangements or any material actions, undertakings or arrangements
for the conduct of any business and/or terminating any relationships or contractual rights or obligations that Purchaser determines not to accept, or (3) there is a Material Intentional Purchaser Breach, and 
 (B)(1) this Agreement is terminated by the Main Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) or Section 9.1(d) hereof, (2) the EMEA
Asset Sale Agreement is terminated by the Joint Administrators pursuant to Clause 15.4.3 thereof, or (3) this Agreement is terminated by either Primary Party pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(vi) or Section 9.1(b)(vii) hereof or the EMEA
Asset Sale Agreement is terminated by the Joint Administrator or the Purchaser pursuant to Clause 15.4.2(F) or Clause 15.4.2(G) thereof; 
 provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reverse Termination Fee shall not be payable pursuant to this clause (ii) if at the time of termination: 
 (x) the Sellers are in breach of this Agreement in any material respect as a result of an Intentional Breach, which breach
would result in a failure of the

  

 181 








 
conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.3 to be satisfied, and in each case, which, if capable of being cured, is not cured within the applicable Breach Cure Period
or (y) the EMEA Sellers are in breach of the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement in any material respect as a result of an Intentional Breach, which breach would result in a failure of the conditions to Closing (as defined in the EMEA Asset Sale
Agreement) set forth in Clause 15.3.1 thereof to be satisfied, and in each case, which, if capable of being cured, is not cured within the applicable Breach Cure Period; or 
 (y) any of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligations set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.3 cannot be
satisfied on or before the date that is 365 days from the date of this Agreement (other than any such condition that by its nature is to be satisfied at the Closing or any such condition that cannot be satisfied as a result of (1) a Material
Intentional Purchaser Breach or (2) the failure to obtain any Antitrust Approval). 
 (b) If payable pursuant to
Section 9.3(a) the Reverse Termination Fee shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Distribution Agent (as agent for the Sellers and the EMEA Sellers) as follows: 
 (i) by application of the Good Faith Deposit and the portion of the Delay Fee that shall have already been paid to the Escrow
Agent in the form of Delay Fee Payments pursuant to Section 2.2.1(b) and the actual earnings thereon, as contemplated in Section 2.2.1(c)(ii); and 
 (ii) as for the balance of the Reverse Termination Fee, if any, in immediately available funds, within two (2) Business
Days of the termination of this Agreement, by way of wire transfer to an account of the Distribution Agent, as distribution agent for the Sellers, to be notified by the Main Sellers or the Distribution Agent to the Purchaser in writing. 

SECTION 9.4. Effects of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1: 
 (a) all further obligations of the Parties under or pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate without further liability of any Party to the
other except for the provisions of or as provided in (i) Section 2.2.6(b) (Escrows), (ii) Section 5.7 (Public Announcements), (iii) Section 5.10 (Transaction Expenses), (iv) Section 5.11 (Confidentiality),
(v) Section 7.4(b)(iii) (Other Employee Covenants), (vi) Section 9.2 (Break-Up Fee; Expense Reimbursement), (vii) Section 9.3 (Reverse Termination Fee), (viii) Section 9.4 (Effects of Termination), and
(ix) Article X; 
 (b) except as required by applicable Law, the Purchaser shall return to the Sellers all documents, work
papers and other material of any of the Sellers relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof; and 
 (c) the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement will continue in full force and effect. 
  

 182

 SECTION 10.2. Remedies. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege
under this Agreement by any Party will operate as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of
such right, remedy, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Canadian Court to determine the appropriate jurisdiction for such claim, action or proceeding, or (B) in the Federal Courts in the Southern District of New York or the State Courts of the State of New York, County of Manhattan (collectively,
the “New York Courts”), if brought after entry of a final decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases and termination of the CCAA Cases (the courts specified in clauses (A) and (B) collectively, the “Designated
Courts”), and shall not be brought in each case, in any other court in the United States of America, Canada or any court in any other country; (ii) agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the Designated Courts for purposes of all legal
proceedings arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) waives and agrees not to assert any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of such action brought

manner provided in Section 10.7 or any other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof, and (v) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in

the filing of any and all documents and instruments, which may be necessary to continue such appointments in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Purchaser Authorized Canadian Agent in respect of the relevant jurisdiction
and written notice of such service to the Purchaser shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Purchaser in relation to such jurisdiction. 
  


 184 








 (d) Each Seller hereby appoints (i) NNI as its authorized agent (the “Seller
Authorized U.S. Agent”) upon whom process and any other documents may be served in the Chapter 11 Cases and any Action arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, which may be instituted in
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court or in the NY Courts by any other party hereto, and (ii) NNL as its authorized agent (the “Seller Authorized Canadian Agent” and together with the Seller Authorized U.S. Agent, the “Seller
Authorized Agents”) upon whom process and any other documents may be served in the CCAA Cases and any Action arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, which may be instituted in the
Canadian Court by any other party hereto, which appointment in each case shall be irrevocable. Each such Seller further agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, which may be necessary to
continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the applicable Seller Authorized Agent in respect of the relevant jurisdiction and written notice of such service to the Main Sellers shall be deemed, in every
respect, effective service of process upon every such Seller. 
 (e) Section 10.6(b) shall not limit the jurisdiction of

 (f) EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.6.

 Any such demand, notice, communication or report shall be deemed to have been given pursuant to this
Agreement when delivered personally, when confirmed if by facsimile transmission, or on the calendar day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier service, as applicable. 
 SECTION 10.8. Exhibits; Sellers Disclosure Schedule. 
 (a) The Sellers Disclosure Schedule and the Exhibits attached hereto constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this
Agreement for all purposes as if fully set forth herein. 
 (b) For purposes of the representations and warranties of the
Sellers contained in this Agreement, disclosure in any section of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule of any facts or circumstances shall be deemed to be adequate response and disclosure of such facts or circumstances with respect to all representations
or warranties by the Sellers, whether or not such disclosure is specifically associated with or purports to respond to one or more of such representations or warranties, if it is reasonably apparent from the Sellers Disclosure Schedule that such
disclosure is applicable. The inclusion of any information in any section of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule or other document delivered by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of the materiality
of such item, nor shall it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever. 
 SECTION 10.9.
Counterparts. The Parties may execute this Agreement in two or more counterparts (no one of which need contain the signatures of all Parties), each of which will be an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument. 
 SECTION 10.10. No Presumption. The Parties agree that this Agreement was negotiated fairly between
them at arm’s length and that the final terms of this Agreement are the product of the Parties’ negotiations. Each Party represents and warrants that it has sought and received experienced legal counsel of its own choosing with regard to
the contents of this Agreement and the rights and obligations affected hereby. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly and equally drafted by them, and that the provisions of this Agreement therefore should not be
construed against a Party on the grounds that such Party drafted or was more responsible for drafting the provisions. 
 SECTION 10.11. Severability. If any provision, clause, or part of this Agreement, or the application thereof under certain circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in any jurisdiction, (i) as
to such jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision, clause or part under other circumstances, and (ii) as for any other jurisdiction, all provisions of this Agreement, shall not be affected and shall
remain in full force and effect, unless, in each case, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability

  

 188 








 
in such jurisdiction materially impairs the ability of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon such determination that any clause or other provision is
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in such jurisdiction, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in
order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible even in such jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 10.12. Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for the purpose of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

 SECTION 10.13. Entire Agreement. 
 (a) This Agreement, the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreement and any written notice relating to Excluded Sellers delivered pursuant to Section 5.25(a) on
the date hereof, together set forth the entire understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matter thereof, and all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, whether written or oral, are superseded
by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement, and all such prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties are hereby terminated. In the event of any irreconcilable conflict
between this Agreement and any of the Ancillary Agreements or the Confidentiality Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail, regardless of the fact that certain Ancillary Agreements, such as the Local Sale Agreement, may be subject
to different governing Laws (unless the Ancillary Agreement expressly provides otherwise). 
 (b) For the sake of clarity, the
provisions of the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement have been drafted separately from the provisions in the body of this Agreement to reflect differing market practices in the countries of jurisdiction of the EMEA Sellers. Unless the context specifically
requires, the provisions contained in the body of this Agreement and the provisions of the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement shall be interpreted independently and without reference to each other. 
 SECTION 10.14. Limitations on Pre-Closing Remedies. 
 (a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.14 and in addition to any other remedies to which the Parties are entitled at Law or in equity, each of the
Parties shall be entitled to equitable relief to prevent or remedy breaches of this Agreement, without the proof of actual damages, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions or orders for specific performance in respect of such breaches;
provided, however, that under no circumstances shall any Avaya Party other than the Purchaser and/or any Designated Purchaser, as applicable, be subject to claims for equitable relief, including specific performance of any kind. Each Party
agrees, to the extent that such Party is subject to any equitable remedy, to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy. Under no circumstances shall any Avaya Party other than the

  

 189 








 
Purchaser and/or any Designated Purchaser, as applicable, be liable for damages arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any breach or
alleged breach of any of the terms hereof or of the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including damages alleged as a result of tortious conduct. Without limiting the preceding provisions of this Section 10.14(a), it
is acknowledged and agreed that under no circumstances shall any Person be liable for punitive damages (including multiple damages assessed as a punitive measure) or special damages arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or any breach or alleged breach of any of the terms hereof or of the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including damages alleged as a result of tortious conduct. Nothing set forth in this
Agreement shall confer or give or shall be construed to confer or give to any Person (including any Person acting in a representative capacity) any rights or remedies against any Person other than the Parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that
each Party will be entitled to all the remedies against the other Parties available to it at Law or in equity for post-Closing breaches of this Agreement, the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement and any Transaction Documents, including specific performance
and/or damages. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.14(a), if (1) the conditions
set forth in Section 8.1(a) of this Agreement or Clause 15.1.3 of the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement have not been satisfied (other than as a result of a Material Intentional Purchaer Breach), or (2) any Regulatory Approval(s) require any
divestiture, license or hold separate or similar arrangements or any material actions, undertakings or arrangements for the conduct of any business and/or terminating any relationships or contractual rights or obligations that Purchaser determines
not to accept then specific performance shall not be available against any of the Avaya Parties and the sole and exclusive remedy of the Nortel Parties against any of the Avaya Parties shall be termination of this Agreement and the EMEA Asset Sale
Agreement and payment of the Reverse Termination Fee by the Purchaser, when, as and if required pursuant to Section 9.3 (and no other additional money damages shall be payable by any Avaya Party) for the failure of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement (including transactions contemplated under Clause 7 of the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement or Paragraph 2 of Schedule 9 to the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement) to be consummated, or in respect of any
Liabilities arising under, or relating to, this Agreement, the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby prior to the Closing. In a situation in which the Reverse Termination Fee
does not constitute the sole remedy, any damages award will be reduced by the amount of the Reverse Termination Fee that has been paid. 
 (c) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 10.14, Section 9.2 and Section 9.3, are each an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement. In the event that (i) the Sellers or the EMEA Sellers shall fail to pay the Break-Up Fee or Expense Reimbursement when due, or (ii) Purchaser shall fail to pay the Reverse Termination Fee when
due, then Sellers or the EMEA Sellers in the case of clause (i) and Purchaser in the case of clause (ii), shall reimburse the other Parties for all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred or accrued by such other Parties (including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection under and enforcement of Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 and Clauses 15.5 to 15.7 of the EMEA Asset Sale Agreement as applicable, together with interest on such unpaid
amount at the prime

  

 190 








 
rate of Citibank N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment. 
 SECTION 10.15. Bulk Sales Laws. Subject to the entry of the U.S. Sale Order, each Party waives compliance by the other Party with any applicable bulk sales Law, provided, however, that
the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to cooperate to the extent necessary to obtain a reduction in, or exemption from, any applicable sales or use Taxes. 
 SECTION 10.16. Main Sellers as Representatives of Other Sellers. 
 (a)
For all purposes of this Agreement: 
 (i) each Other Seller listed in Section 10.16(a)(i) of the Sellers
Disclosure Schedule hereby irrevocably appoints NNL as its representative; and 
 (ii) each Other Seller not
listed in Section 10.16(a)(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule hereby irrevocably appoints NNI as its representative. 
 (b) Pursuant to Section 10.16(a), each of NNL and NNI shall expressly have the power to, in the name and on behalf of each of its Respective Affiliates (as defined below), (i) take all decisions and carry out any actions required
or desirable in connection with this Agreement, (ii) send and receive all notices and other communications required or permitted hereby, and (iii) consent to any amendment, waivers and modifications hereof. 
 (c) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Respective Affiliates” means: (i) with respect to NNL, each Other Seller
listed in Section 10.16(a)(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, and (ii) with respect to NNI, all the other U.S. Debtors and each Other Seller not listed in Section 10.16(a)(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule. 
 SECTION 10.17. Obligations of Sellers and EMEA Sellers. When references are made in this Agreement to certain Sellers causing
other Sellers or other Affiliate(s) to undertake (or to not undertake) certain actions, or agreements are being made on behalf of certain other Sellers or other Affiliates, “Sellers” for purposes of such clause shall be deemed to mean,
respectively, NNI (in the case of a U.S. Debtor) and NNL (in the case of a Canadian Debtor – other than NNC—and a Non-Debtor Seller). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except as set forth in Section 2.2.4(b) and
Section 9.2(c) the obligations of each EMEA Seller hereunder shall be several and not joint. Effective as of the date of signing, the parties are fully bound by the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that none of the EMEA
Sellers, the Joint Administrators and the Joint Israeli Administrators shall have any obligations or incur any liabilities under this Agreement unless and until (i) the U.S. Bankruptcy Court enters the U.S. Bidding Procedures Order and
(ii) the Canadian Court enters the Canadian Sales Process Order. For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of Parties and the EMEA Sellers is that the obligations and any liabilities of the EMEA Sellers, the Joint Administrators and the Joint
Israeli Administrators under this Agreement will arise concurrently with the obligations and liabilities of the Sellers under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 10.18. Execution by Other Sellers. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Other Sellers are not executing this Agreement as of the date hereof. This

  

 191 








 
Agreement shall be binding on all parties that have executed this Agreement from the time of such execution, regardless of whether all Sellers have done so. Between the date hereof and the
Closing Date, the Main Sellers hereby agree that they shall cause each Other Seller to execute a counterpart to this Agreement no later than the day prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following completion of the Auction (provided that the Main Sellers shall use their reasonable best
efforts to cause such execution to occur no later than the last day of the Contract Review Period), agreeing to be bound as a Seller under this Agreement and authorizing NNL or NNI, as applicable, to act as its representative under
Section 10.16. 
 SECTION 10.19. Exclusion of Liability of Administrators and Acknowledgement. 
 (a) Notwithstanding that this Agreement shall have been signed by the Joint Administrators and the Joint Israeli Administrators in their
capacities as administrators of the EMEA Debtors for and on behalf of the EMEA Debtors and of the Israeli Companies for and on behalf of the Israeli Companies, respectively, it is hereby expressly agreed and declared that no personal Liability under
or in connection with this Agreement shall fall on the Joint Administrators, the Joint Israeli Administrators or their firm, partners, employees, agents, advisers or representatives whether such Liability would arise under paragraph 99(4) of
schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986, the Israeli Companies Law 1999, or otherwise. 
 (b) The Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that in the negotiation and the completion of this Agreement the Joint Administrators and the Joint Israeli Administrators are acting only as agents for and on behalf of the EMEA Debtors and the Israeli Companies, respectively, and without
any personal Liability whatsoever. 
 (c) The Purchaser further acknowledges that it has entered into this Agreement without
reliance on any warranties or representations made by the EMEA Sellers or by any of their employees, agents or representatives, or by the Joint Administrators, the Joint Israeli Administrators or any of their firm, partners, employees, agents,
advisors or representatives and (save in respect of fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or fraudulent misstatement) it shall not have any remedy in respect of any misrepresentation or untrue statement made by or on behalf of the EMEA Sellers or
their employees, agents or representatives, or by the Joint Administrators, the Joint Israeli Administrators or any of their firm, partners, employees, agents, advisors or representatives. 
 SECTION 10.20. Asset Sale Election. 
 (a) Prior to making any “Asset Sale Election” (defined below), the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which reasonable efforts shall include but not be limited to the filing of
an objection to the allowance of the IRS Claim with the Bankruptcy Court no later than September 16, 2009) to resolve the -6 Liability in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser. If such commercially reasonable efforts are unsuccessful,
the Sellers may elect to satisfy their obligation under the Agreement to transfer the Shares to Purchaser by transferring to Purchaser the assets and liabilities of the Companies as described below (the “Asset Sale Election”). To
the extent the Sellers determine to exercise the Asset Sale Election, such election shall be made no later than October 15, 2009, and notice thereof shall be provided to the

  

 192 








 
Purchaser, in writing, on or before such date. In the event that the Asset Sale Election is timely made: (a) Sellers shall, within three (3) calendar days of the Asset Sale Election,
and in any case, no later than October 18, 2009, commence proceedings under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Companies, (b) the Parties shall amend this Agreement to effect such election, with (i) all
of the assets of the Companies (except as contemplated in the -6 Purchase Price Adjustment, as defined below) and (ii) all of the Liabilities of the Companies, other than the -6 Liability, the Related –6 Liabilities and the Specified
Pension Liabilities, being transferred to Purchaser to the same extent as such assets and liabilities would have been transferred indirectly to Purchaser pursuant to a transfer of the Shares on the terms set forth herein, and otherwise on the same
terms and conditions as the assets and liabilities of the Sellers, mutatis mutandis, but only to the extent permitted by sections 363 and 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (c) the Sellers and the Purchaser shall, at the Sellers’
expenses, use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any novations, consents, assignments or other authorizations necessary to validly transfer the Customer Contracts of the Companies to Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser and (d) if
any such novation, consent, assignment or other authorization is not received on or before the Closing Date, then subject to applicable Law and the terms of the applicable Customer Contract, the applicable Seller(s), on the one hand, and the
Purchaser or the applicable Designated Purchaser, on the other hand, shall enter into a Subcontract that will have effect, from and after the Closing Date, under which the Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser will provide products or services on
the terms of such Customer Contract for the shortest of (i) eighteen (18) months, (ii) the remaining life of such Customer Contract or (iii) the period until such Customer Contract is validly assigned to Purchaser or such
Designated Purchaser; provided, that the Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to maintain the good standing of the Nortel Party to each such Customer Contract as the prime contractor thereunder during such subcontract period at no
additional cost to Purchaser and unless NNI and the Purchaser otherwise agree, including retaining any “key men” under such Customer Contract as employees of the Companies (instead of transferring their employment to the Purchaser or a
Designated Purchaser) under arrangements governed by the terms of the Transition Services Agreement for the duration of such Subcontract if doing so would permit such Customer Contract to be subcontracted without Third Party consent (and the
Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser will accept the transfer of the employment of such “key men” after the termination of such Subcontract), and (e) the Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to have a final order approving
the transfer of such assets and liabilities entered by the Bankruptcy Court prior to December 1, 2009. The Sellers will use their reasonable best efforts to include in all Customer Contracts that the Companies enter into after
September 14, 2009 that are expected to generate a total contract value of at least $5 million terms that will permit such Customer Contracts to be assigned to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser without Third Party consent. Notwithstanding
the Asset Sale Election or anything set forth herein, in no event shall the Purchaser become liable on account of, or assume, any Claim or Liability asserted against the Companies to the extent such Claim or Liability would not have remained a valid
Claim against any Company had the Sellers transferred the Shares to the Purchaser, and it shall be a condition precedent to Closing under the Agreement that a final order approving the transfer of the Companies’ assets as set forth above in a
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser be entered by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and consistent with the U.S. Sale Order and that such order provide that such assets are transferred to the Purchaser free and clear of any Liens or
Claims arising out of or related to the -6 Liabilities, the -6 Related Liabilities or the Specified Pension Liabilities. 
  

 193 








 (b) If the Asset Sale Election is made, and not all Customer Contracts of the NGS Companies
are transferred, or subcontracted such that Purchaser receives the same economic benefits as it would if it were a direct party to the relevant Customer Contract, to Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser on or within one hundred and eighty days
(180) days after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the –6 Purchase Price Adjustment. The “-6 Purchase Price Adjustment” shall mean with respect to each Customer Contract of an NGS
Company that does not by its terms expire within 180 days after the Closing Date and is not transferred or subcontracted as described above (“-6 Contracts”), an amount equal to the –6 Factor multiplied by the revenues received
by the NGS Companies in respect of such -6 Contract in respect of the period from October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009; provided that with respect to any –6 Contract with the Department of State such revenues shall be
multiplied by the Janus –6 Factor. 
 (c) The estimated –6 Purchase Price Adjustment as of the Closing Date shall be
calculated by Sellers at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated –6 Liability Escrow Amount”), and a written copy of the -6 Purchase Price Adjustment (showing with reasonable specificity such
calculation and the amounts used therefor) shall be delivered to the Purchaser on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day, and such amount shall be paid to the Escrow Agent as provided in Article II and the Escrow Agreement. If within one
hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, any -6 Contract is transferred, or subcontracted such that Purchaser receives the same economic benefits as it would if it were a direct party to the relevant Customer Contract, to Purchaser
or a Designated Purchaser, then an amount equal to the -6 Purchase Price Adjustment with respect to such -6 Contract shall be released by the Escrow Agent to the Sellers in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. At the end of such one hundred and
eighty- (180-) day period, if any amounts remain in the Estimated -6 Liability Escrow Account, all such amounts shall be released by the Escrow Agent to the Purchaser in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Main Sellers and the Purchaser have duly executed this amendment to
the Asset and Share Sale Agreement as of the date first written above.
