(a) Norwood Phase II. For a period of six (6) months following the Closing, Buyer shall be permitted to engage at Buyer’s
expense, TRC Companies, Inc., who employs a “Certified Professional” as defined by Rule 3745-300-01(21) of the Ohio Administrative Code (“OAC”), (the “Consultant”), to perform at the Norwood Facility a
Phase II Environmental Site Assessment in accordance with the work plan prepared by such Consultant (“Work Plan”) as set forth on Section 6.10 of the Disclosure Letter, and any subsequent amendments to the Work Plan as deemed
necessary by such Consultant, the approval of which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by the Sellers (the “Permitted Norwood Phase II”). Should such Consultant be delayed in performing the Permitted Norwood
Phase II for any reason outside of such Consultant’s or Buyer’s reasonable control, the Buyer’s right to conduct the Permitted Norwood Phase II set forth in this Agreement shall be extended for a commensurate time period. 

(b) Required Remediation. 

(i) If the Permitted Norwood Phase II indicates that environmental conditions exist at the Norwood Facility that: (1) are in violation of
any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits; (2) exceed generic numerical standards established for applicable commercial and industrial exposures under OAC Rule 3745-300-08, as amended, or risk-based commercial and industrial standards
developed under OAC 3745-300-09, as amended, and risk-

based commercial and industrial standards developed under OAC 3745-300-09, as amended, for complete exposure pathways not addressed under OAC 3745-300-08, as amended (the “Remediation
Standards”); or (3) the presence of any friable asbestos, then, the Norwood Remediation, as herein defined, will be undertaken. It shall be assumed that any work required for the issuance of the NFA and CNS shall be deemed to be
reasonable. 
 (ii) Buyer agrees to solicit bids for the Norwood Remediation from several reputable and qualified consulting firms, and
Buyer may select a Consultant to perform the Norwood Remediation based on consideration of various factors, including, but not limited to, cost, timing, experience, expertise, success in obtaining CNS, etc., the selection of which shall be subject
to Sellers’ prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (such approved Consultant, the “Remediation Consultant”). If Sellers fail to respond to Buyer’s notice of the
scope and cost of the work, and selection of a Consultant to perform the Norwood Remediation within ten (10) Business Days, Sellers shall be deemed to approve of the scope and cost of the Norwood Remediation and Buyer’s selected
Consultant. 
 (iii) Buyer shall be permitted to engage the Remediation Consultant to address, remediate, abate, or correct such violations
or environmental conditions within the approved scope and budget: (1) to comply with Environmental Laws and/or Environmental Permits; (2) under the Voluntary Action Program created under Ohio Revised Code (“ORC”) Chapter
3746 and the rules adopted thereunder, as amended, to obtain a No Further Action Letter (the “NFA”) from the Certified Professional and a Covenant Not to Sue (“CNS”) from Ohio EPA relating to such environmental
conditions; and (3) remove any and all friable asbestos (individually or in the aggregate the “Norwood Remediation”). 

(iv) After Sellers have approved the scope of the Norwood Remediation, associated budget, and the Remediation Consultant, or waived such
right, Buyer shall control the Norwood Remediation and shall keep the Sellers reasonably informed of the progress of the Norwood Remediation (including providing the Sellers with copies of all material submissions, reports or correspondence related
thereto). If Buyer or either Seller receives any material notice or other correspondence from any Governmental Authority or other Person regarding the Norwood Remediation they shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the other parties. Buyer
shall provide reasonable notice and the opportunity for the Sellers or their designee to: (1) be present at all meetings with the Remediation Consultant relating to the Norwood Remediation; and (2) review and provide comments to material
written communications with any Governmental Authority or other Person or any proposed resolution or settlement with such Governmental Authority or other Person regarding such matters. If Sellers fail to respond to Buyer concerning such notice or
provide comments to Buyer concerning such written communications with such Governmental Authority within five (5) days, Sellers shall be deemed to approve of such communications. 

(v) Remediation of any environmental conditions relating to the Norwood Remediation shall be in accordance with the Remediation Standards or
applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits. Upon issuance of the CNS, Sellers’ obligations under Section 6.10(b) and Section 10.02(d) shall terminate and be deemed to have been discharged in full to the
extent relating to environmental conditions covered by the CNS, except for fulfillment of any ongoing obligations required in order to maintain the CNS and except as required to fulfill Buyer’s obligations under subsections
6.10(b)(i)(1), 6.10(b)(i)(3), 6.10(b)(iii)(1) and 6.10(b)(iii)(3).

(except if such requirement was precipitated by the conduct prohibited in Section 6.10(d)); (iii) required by the Landlord of any Leased Real Property to comply with existing or former Leased Real Property leases; or (iv) with the
prior written consent of the Sellers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and without limiting any of Buyer’s other remedies, in the event that Buyer or its Affiliates breaches this Section 6.10(c), Buyer and its
Affiliates shall not be entitled to indemnification under Article X with respect to any new matters discovered in connection with any such prohibited sampling, drilling, testing or other investigation. 

(d) Governmental Notices. Neither Buyer nor any Seller shall, and each shall cause its respective Affiliates, consultants, agents or
employees not to, initiate any notice to, or action with, any Governmental Authority with respect to any matter for which Buyer may seek indemnification under Section 10.02 other than in each case any reporting, notice or other action
that is required under Laws, the Environmental Permits, the NFA, the CNS, or comparable approvals, or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and
explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer and Sellers agree (i) to retain all books and records with

the extent notified by Buyer or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (ii) to give the other parties reasonable written
notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow such party to take possession of such books and records. Buyer and Sellers
further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed
(including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby). Any information received by any party under this Section 6.13 shall be kept confidential by the receiving party and its representatives except as may

any further force and effect until the latter of five (5) years after the Closing Date (with respect to the Environmental Representations) or the statute of limitations under any applicable Laws. The applicable date after which an applicable
representation and warranty set forth in this Agreement shall cease to have any further force and effect is the applicable “Expiration Date.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Notice of Claim asserted in good faith with reasonable
specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice prior to the applicable Expiration Date shall not thereafter be barred by the Expiration Date and such claims shall survive until finally resolved. 

10.02 GPII Indemnification. Subject to the limitations in Sections 10.01 and 10.03, from and after the Closing, GPII
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer, its Affiliates and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) harmless against any actual out of pocket loss, damage, debt, liability,
obligation, interest, penalty, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) which arise out of or are in respect of: 

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by GPII in Article IV; 

  
 - 38 - 








 (b) any breach of or failure by Sellers to carry out, perform, satisfy and discharge any
covenants or agreements made by Sellers (or any of them) in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; 
 (c) any Pre-Closing
Environmental Matters; 
 (d) the Norwood Remediation Expenses; 

(e) any and all Retained Liabilities (other than Retained Liabilities that could be considered Pre-Closing Environmental Matters); or 

(f) all Successor Liability Taxes (or the nonpayment thereof) with respect to the Purchased Assets: (i) for all Tax periods ending on or
before the Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, (ii) of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary group of which Sellers (or any
predecessor) are or were members on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. law or regulation, and (iii) of any Person imposed on Sellers as
a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any Law, rule or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing, in each case, to the extent the liability therefor exceeds any amount reserved for in the
Financial Statements on account of such liability. 
 10.03 Limitations. The parties right to indemnification pursuant to Sections
10.02 or 10.04 shall be subject to the following limitations: 
 (a) Sellers shall not have any obligation pursuant to Sections
10.02(a) or 10.02(c), 
 (i) for any individual Loss or series of related Losses, except to the extent that the amount of such
Losses or series of related Losses under Section 10.02(a) or 10.02(c) (other than with respect to Environmental Representations) exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) and then for the amount of all Losses beginning at
dollar one; 
 (ii) for any Loss, except to the extent all Losses for which the Buyer Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification pursuant
to Section 10.02(a) or Section 10.02(c) (after giving effect to the limitation set forth in Section 10.03(a)(i))) exceeds $600,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only for the amount by which all
such Losses exceed the Deductible; 
 (iii) for Losses under Section 10.02(a) or Section 10.02(c) other than
relating to the Fundamental Representations and claims sounding in fraud, exceeding, in the aggregate with all other Losses indemnified pursuant to Section 10.02(a) and Section 10.02(c), Twenty Percent (20%) of the
Purchase Price less the amount of all Norwood Remediation Expenses actually incurred by Sellers (including amounts paid out of the Escrow Amount); and 

(iv) for any Loss with respect to which a Notice of Claim is provided after the applicable Expiration Date. 

  
 -39 - 








 For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree the limitations set forth in this
Section 10.03 shall not apply to any Claim made pursuant to Section 10.02(d) to the extent within the approved scope of the Norwood Remediation and associated budget_regardless of whether such Claim also constitutes a breach
of a representation or warranty or a Pre-Closing Environmental Matter. 
 (b) In computing such individual or aggregate amounts of claims,
the amount of each claim shall be deemed to be an amount net of any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually recovered by the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate of the Indemnified Party from any third
party with respect thereto. In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon payment of such indemnity, be subrogated to all rights
of the Indemnified Party with respect to the Loss to which such indemnification relates; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall only be subrogated to the extent of any amount paid by it pursuant to this Article X
in connection with such Loss. 
 (c) An Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article X only with
respect to the amount of Losses that are in excess of the cash proceeds actually received by such Indemnified Party (after deducting reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with recovery of such proceeds) pursuant to such Indemnified
Party’s insurance policies. 
 10.04 Buyer Indemnification. Subject to the limitations in Section 10.01 and
10.03, from and after the Closing, each of Parent and Buyer agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold Sellers, their Affiliates and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents (the “Seller
Indemnitees”) harmless against any Losses which arise out of or are in respect of: 
 (a) the operation of the Business from and
after the Closing Date; 
 (b) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in Article V; 

(c) any breach of or failure by Buyer to carry out, perform, satisfy and discharge any covenants or agreements made by Buyer in this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document (other than the Transition Services Agreement, which shall be governed by the terms thereof); or 
 (d) any
and all Assumed Liabilities. 
 10.05 Indemnification Notice. Promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any claim, event, fact or demand
which gives rise to, or is reasonably expected to give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder, any Party seeking indemnification under this Article X (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice of such claim or
demand (“Notice of Claim”) to the Party from which indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”), setting forth the amount of the claim, if known. The Indemnified Party shall furnish to the Indemnifying Party,
in reasonable detail, such information as it may have with respect to such indemnification claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on it and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other
document evidencing or asserting the 

  
 - 40 - 








 
same). No failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of any Indemnifying Party to indemnify, defend and hold the
Indemnified Party harmless, except to the extent that such failure or delay shall have adversely affected the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against, settle, mitigate or satisfy any Loss for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnification hereunder. 
 10.06 Indemnification Procedure. If the claim or demand set forth in the Notice of Claim given by the
Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.05 relates to a claim or demand asserted by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to elect (by notice in writing to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after
the date the Notice of Claim is deemed delivered pursuant to Section 13.10) to defend such third party claim or demand on behalf of the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party
elects to defend such third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its agents and representatives as reasonably requested all records and other materials which are reasonably required in the
defense of such third party claim or demand and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such third party claim or demand, subject to the reimbursement of the reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of a request by the Indemnifying Party to so cooperate. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending such third party claim or demand in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, settle or
compromise such third party claim or demand without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such third party claim or demand, the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such third party claim or demand, at its own expense, provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend such third party claim or demand,
does not defend such third party claim in good faith or a timely manner, or if there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that conflict with those available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the
right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to defend or participate in the defense of such third party claim or demand. 

10.07 Effect of Indemnity Payments. The parties agree to treat all payments made under the indemnity provisions of this Article X
as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and that such agreed treatment shall govern for purposes hereof. 
 10.08 Exclusive
Remedy. The Parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that, other than claims sounding in fraud, their sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing Date with respect to any and all claims for money damages relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement, the Transaction Documents and any and all agreements contemplated by this Agreement (other than the Transition Services Agreement, which shall be governed by the terms thereof) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth
in this Article X. In furtherance of the foregoing, other than claims sounding in fraud, each Party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have
against the other Party in respect of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated herein or based upon any Law (including any such rights, claims or causes of action arising under or based upon common law or otherwise)
or Environmental Laws to seek money damages. 

  
 - 41 - 








 10.09 Escrow. From and after the Closing, the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to
payment from the Escrow Amount pursuant to the Escrow Agreement for all Losses for which any Buyer Indemnitee is entitled under this Buyer shall be required, in seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 10.02 to first
seek payment for such indemnification claim from the Escrow Amount then held by the Escrow Agent, prior to seeking payment from any Seller. 

10.10 Norwood Expense Notices. From time to time until the Norwood Remediation is complete and subject to the conditions set forth
herein and in the Escrow Agreement, Buyer may execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to Sellers) a letter (an “Expense Notice”) requesting that the Escrow Agent pay in cash by wire transfer of immediately available
funds an amount equal to the amount billed for Norwood Remediation Expenses in accordance with Section 6.10 up to the date of the Expense Notice. Such Expense Notice shall list the relevant Norwood Remediation Expenses and shall include
reasonable documentation relating to such Norwood Remediation Expenses. The Escrow Agent shall pay in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Buyer or its designee an amount equal to the Norwood Remediation Expenses the subject of
such Expense Notice on the eleventh (11th) Business Day after having received such Expense Notice together with certification by Buyer that Sellers have received such Expense Notice unless the Escrow Agent has received from Seller (with a copy to
Buyer or its designee) a written objection to any or all such Norwood Remediation Expenses during the prior ten (10) Business Days), in such case the Escrow Agent shall pay only the undisputed portion of the Norwood Remediation Expenses to
Buyer or its designee. 
 ARTICLE XI 

EMPLOYEE MATTERS 
 11.01
Employment of Employees. As of the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate from employment and Buyer will offer employment to the employees of the Business listed on Section 11.01 of the Disclosure Letter who remain employed by the
Sellers as of the Closing Date (the “Business Employees”). Sellers shall be responsible for the payment of all earned but unpaid salaries, bonus, vacation pay, sick pay, holiday pay, and other like obligations and payments to the
Business Employees for all periods ending on or prior to the Financial Effective Time. All Business Employees who accept Buyer’s offer of employment “Transferred Employees” shall be immediately employed on an uninterrupted
basis by Buyer as of the Closing Date. Immediately following the Closing Date, Buyer shall be responsible for providing each Transferred Employee who has commenced active employment with Buyer or one of its Affiliates with his or her compensation
earned following the Financial Effective Time; provided, however, that compensation earned between the Financial Effective Time and the Closing Date shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.08. Buyer shall also provide each Transferred
Employee who has commenced active employment with Buyer or one of its Affiliates with employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the employee benefits provided by Buyer and its Affiliates to its similarly situated (based on
position, responsibilities and location) employees from time to time; provided that nothing contained herein shall mean that Buyer must offer any benefits under any defined benefit plan or equity compensation plan. Notwithstanding anything in
this Section 11.01 to the contrary, with respect to any Business Employee who as of the Closing Date is on military leave, sick leave, maternity leave or short-term disability, except as required by applicable law, Buyer need only offer
to employ such Business Employee for the 

  
 - 42 - 








 
period beginning after such absence if such Business Employee returns to employment in accordance with the terms of such Business Employee’s leave, provided that such Business
Employee commences active employment with Buyer no later than six (6) months after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such six (6) month limitation shall not apply to Business Employees on military leave as long as such
Business Employee applies to return to employment within ninety (90) days of release or honorable discharge from armed services. Any Business Employee who is on leave on the Closing Date and commences active employment with Buyer in accordance
with the preceding sentence will cease employment with Sellers at the end of such leave of absence. 
 11.02 Sellers’ Employee
Plans. The Transferred Employees shall cease to be eligible to participate and/or be active participants in the Sellers’ Employee Plans as of the Closing Date. No Employee Plan assets or liabilities held by Sellers shall be transferred to
Buyer. The Sellers shall retain all assets in any such plans and shall distribute benefits to such Transferred Employees that shall become entitled to such benefits in accordance with the applicable plan document and each such employee’s
election, as applicable. 
 11.03 COBRA; WARN Act. On or immediately after the Closing Date, Sellers will begin providing health care
coverage to Transferred Employees and their qualified beneficiaries in accordance with the continuation health care coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code and Title I, Subtitle B, Part 6 of ERISA (“COBRA”) or any
similar provisions of state law without requiring Transferred Employees to complete the election process in order to continue the health care coverage and such coverage shall continue until the earlier of (1) Buyer begins to provide healthcare
coverage to the Transferred Employees and their qualified beneficiaries, (2) six months following the Financial Effective Time, or (3) Sellers’ obligations to provide health care coverage to Transferred Employees and their qualified
beneficiaries expires, whichever occurs earlier. Buyer shall promptly reimburse Sellers the full COBRA rate which Sellers may charge for COBRA coverage to the Transferred Employees and their qualified beneficiaries on and after the Closing Date,
including those Transferred Employees (and their qualified beneficiaries) whose employment with Buyer terminates, for any reason, after the Closing Date. Sellers shall be responsible for providing any notice required pursuant to the United States
Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, any successor United States federal law, and any other applicable plant closing notification law (collectively, “WARN”) with respect to a layoff or “plant
closing” (i.e., a closing of the Facilities to the extent deemed to have occurred by WARN) relating to the Business that occurs prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall be responsible for providing any notice required pursuant to WARN with
respect to a layoff or “plant closing” relating to the Business that occurs after the Closing Date. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers for any WARN obligations resulting from Buyer’s failure to offer Business Employees
employment on or after the Closing Date. 
 11.04 Wage Reporting. With respect to employment Tax matters (a) Buyer and Sellers
shall agree to elect the “predecessor-successor” basis for each Transferred Employee pursuant to the standard procedures in Section 4 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 34 I.R.B. 320 and (b) Buyer and Sellers shall work in good faith
to adopt similar procedures under applicable wage payment, reporting and withholding Laws in all appropriate jurisdictions. 

  
 - 43 - 








 11.05 Vacation. Buyer agrees to give each Transferred Employee credit for prior years of
service with Sellers for purposes of calculating vacation eligibility that may be received pursuant to the vacation policy of Buyer as is or may be in effect from time to time after the Closing Date. Sellers shall pay to each Transferred Employee
other than union employees the cash value of all accrued but unused vacation days within 10 Business Days of the Closing. Seller shall transfer to Buyer and Buyer shall credit each union Transferred Employee with the amount of vacation such union
Transferred Employee has accrued as of the Closing Date. 
 11.06 Buyer’s Employee Plans. For purposes of Buyer’s Employee
Plans, each Transferred Employee shall receive credit for prior years of service with Sellers for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and level of benefits under such plans (but shall not receive credit for benefit accrual purposes, other than as
noted in this Article XI) and shall be entitled to participate in the Employee Plans of Buyer without the application of any applicable waiting periods or actively at-work conditions. Buyer shall waive any restrictions and limitations on
preexisting medical conditions under its medical plans, except as required by Law; provided the Sellers provide Buyer with information regarding deductibles, offsets and out-of-pocket requirements, Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide the Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents with credit for deductibles, offsets and maximum out-of-pocket requirements made under medical, dental, vision and other welfare Employee Plans of Sellers for the year in which the
Closing Date occurs under Buyer’s employee plans and for purposes of satisfying any applicable co-payment, deductible, out-of-pocket maximum or similar requirements under such Buyer employee plans. Within 90 days after the Closing, Buyer shall
cause the Transferred Employees to be eligible to participate in a tax qualified defined contribution plan sponsored by the Buyer. Buyer shall take all reasonable action necessary to permit the roll over to such tax qualified defined contribution
plan(s) of account balances from the Seller’s 401(k) plan that are intended to be tax qualified defined contribution plans in which Transferred Employees participated immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided in no event will Buyer be
obligated to permit Transferred Employees to transfer their outstanding loans from Seller’s 401(k) plan to Buyer’s tax qualified defined contribution plan. 

11.07 Management Incentive Plan. Sellers will pay all amounts owing to the Business Employees under the GPII Management Incentive Plan
for the calendar year ending December 31, 2013 on or before March 30, 2014. 
 11.08 Effect of Agreement. This Agreement is
not intended by the parties to constitute a plan amendment to or create any obligations of the parties with respect to any Employee Plan of Buyer or Sellers.

 12.02 Consents Not Obtained at Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, this Agreement shall not effectuate the assignment or transfer any instrument, contract, lease, permit or other agreement or arrangement or any Claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an assignment or
transfer or an attempt to make such an assignment or transfer without the consent or approval of a third party or governmental approval would constitute a breach or violation thereof or affect adversely the rights of Buyer or any Seller thereunder;
and any transfer or assignment to Buyer by Sellers of any interest under any such instrument, contract, lease, permit or other agreement or arrangement that requires the consent of a third party or governmental approval shall be made subject to such
consent or approval being obtained. In the event any such consent or approval has not been obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide to the Buyer the benefits of any such
instrument, contract, lease, permit, agreement, arrangement or claim, right or benefit and (ii) cooperate with the Buyer to reach a reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to the Buyer. Nothing in this
Section 12.02 shall be deemed to constitute a limitation on Sellers’ obligation to disclose any matter in Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b) of the Disclosure Letter, any matter which would be required to be
disclosed, but for the application of this Section 12.02.
