 2.2 Closing Deliveries. 

(a) At the Closing, the Purchasers shall deliver to the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative, as the case may be: 

(i) the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.2; 

(ii) the certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.3(c); 

(iii) a counterpart of the Transition Services Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A

 4 








 (iii) the written resignations required to be delivered pursuant to

Additionally, in accordance with Section 1.2, the Purchasers shall pay to the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
(A) for deposit in the Indemnity Escrow Account, the Indemnity Escrow Amount, (B) for deposit in the ETA Escrow Account, the ETA Escrow Amount, (C) for deposit in the Adjustment Escrow Account, the Adjustment Escrow Amount and
(D) for deposit in the Second Closing Escrow Account, the Second Closing Escrow Amount. 
 2.3 Working Capital
Adjustment. 
 (c) Pre-Closing Adjustment. For the purpose of determining the Initial Purchase Price, no less than
five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers’ Representative will cause to be prepared and delivered to the Purchasers a statement setting forth an estimate of the Net Working Capital as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern local time) on
the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Determination Effective Time”) disregarding the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Estimated Net Working Capital Amount”) and the


  
 5 








 
components and calculation thereof (the “Estimated Net Working Capital Statement”). The Estimated Net Working Capital Statement will (i) include reasonable supporting
documentation for the estimates and calculations contained therein (together with any additional information reasonably requested by the Purchasers) and (ii) be prepared by Sellers in good faith and in accordance with the Seller Accounting
Policies on a basis consistent with that used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. A sample Estimated Net Working Capital Statement setting forth an estimate of the Net Working Capital as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern local time) on
June 30, 2013, prepared by Sellers in good faith and in accordance with the Seller Accounting Policies on a basis consistent with that used in the preparation of the Financial Statements, is set forth on Section 2.3(a) of the
Disclosure Schedule (the amounts therein shall be for illustrative purposes only). The form, line items, calculations and computations set forth in the Estimated Net Working Capital Statement will be consistent with those included in such sample
Estimated Net Working Capital Statement. The Purchasers and Sellers’ Representative will cooperate and negotiate to resolve any dispute regarding the Estimated Net Working Capital Statement prior to the Closing (the results of any such
resolution to be reflected on a new Estimated Net Working Capital Statement, which the Parties agree will be considered the Estimated Net Working Capital Statement for all further purposes hereunder). To the extent that the Estimated Net Working
Capital Amount set forth on the Estimated Net Working Capital Statement exceeds negative $4,675,000 (the “Target Net Working Capital Amount”), the purchase price payable at the Closing set forth in Section 1.2
will be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of the excess. To the extent that the Target Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount set forth on the Estimated Net Working Capital Statement, the
purchase price payable at the Closing set forth in Section 1.2 will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of the excess. During such time (and, if applicable, during the Resolution Period), without limiting
Section 5.6, Sellers will give the Purchasers and their Representatives access to all records, facilities and personnel of Sellers, the Companies and their respective Representatives as reasonably necessary for the Purchasers and their
Representatives to undertake the review of the Estimated Net Working Capital Statement. 
 (d) Post-Closing Net Working
Capital Statement. Within 45 calendar days after the Closing Date, the Purchasers will cause to be prepared and delivered to Sellers’ Representative a statement setting forth the Net Working Capital, disregarding the effect to the
transactions contemplated hereby, as of the Adjustment Determination Effective Time, showing in reasonable detail the Purchasers’ good faith determination, in each case as of the Adjustment Determination Effective Time, of the actual amounts of
(i) Net Working Capital and (ii) a calculation of the Purchase Price based on such amounts. The Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement and all computations and determinations contained therein shall be prepared in accordance with the
Seller Accounting Policies on a basis consistent with that used in the preparation of the Financial Statements, but, in any event, with respect to Net Working Capital, consistent with the methodology for calculating the Estimated Net Working Capital
Amount and the components and calculation thereof (the “Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement”). During such time (and, if applicable, during the Resolution Period), without limiting Section 5.6, the Purchasers will
give the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives access to all 

  
 6 








 
records, facilities and personnel of the Purchasers, the Companies and their respective Representatives as reasonably necessary for the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives to
undertake the review of the Post Closing Net Working Capital Statement. 
 (e) Determination of
Conclusive Net Working Capital. Sellers’ Representative will have 45 calendar days following the receipt of the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement to review the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement. During such time,
Sellers’ Representative may dispute any items set forth on the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement (or specific calculations or methods contemplated thereby) by providing written notice to the Purchasers that (i) sets forth in
reasonable detail the basis for such dispute, (ii) only includes disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on Net Working Capital not being calculated in accordance with the definition and methodologies set forth herein (including the
Seller Accounting Policies) and (iii) includes the Sellers’ draft of the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement. Unless Sellers’ Representative delivers written notice to the Purchasers of dispute thereof on or prior to the
45th calendar day after Sellers’
Representative’s receipt of the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement, Sellers’ Representative will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement and such statement (and the specific
calculations or methods contemplated thereby) will be final, binding and conclusive. If Sellers’ Representative notifies the Purchasers in writing of disputed items contained in the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement (or specific
calculations or methods contemplated thereby) (the “Disputed Items”) within such 45 calendar day period, for 15 calendar days following delivery of such notice (the “Resolution Period”), the Purchasers and
Sellers’ Representative will attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to the Disputed Items. After the later of such 45 calendar day period and such 15 calendar day period (if any), Sellers’ Representative will be
deemed to have accepted and agreed to all items on the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement (and the specific calculations or methods contemplated thereby) other than the Disputed Items, and such items (and the specific calculations or methods
contemplated thereby) other than the Disputed Items will be final, binding and conclusive. Any resolution by the Purchasers and Sellers’ Representative during the Resolution Period as to any Disputed Items will be set forth in writing and will
be final, binding and conclusive. If the Purchasers and Sellers’ Representative do not resolve all Disputed Items by the end of the Resolution Period, then all Disputed Items remaining in dispute will be submitted by either one of the Parties
within ten (10) calendar days after the expiration of the Resolution Period to a national independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Purchasers and Sellers’ Representative that is not an auditor of any of the Sellers, the
Purchasers or the Sponsor (the “Neutral Arbitrator”). The Neutral Arbitrator will act as an arbitrator to determine only those Disputed Items remaining in dispute as of the end of the Resolution Period. In resolving such Disputed
Items, the Neutral Arbitrator may not assign a value to any Disputed Item greater than the greatest value for such Disputed Item claimed by any Party or less than the lowest value for such Disputed Item claimed by any Party. Any associated
engagement fees, costs and expenses shall initially be borne 50% by Sellers (allocated among Sellers pro rata based on their respective share of the Purchase Price received pursuant to Section 1.2) and 50% by the Purchasers (allocated
between the 

  
 7 








 
Purchasers pro rata based on their respective share of the Purchase Price paid pursuant to Section 1.2); provided, that such fees, costs and expenses of the Neutral Arbitrator
shall ultimately be allocated to and borne by the Purchasers (allocated between Purchasers on a pro rata basis) and Sellers (allocated among Sellers on a pro rata basis) based on the inverse of the percentage that the Neutral Arbitrator’s
determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator with payment between the Parties to reflect this allocation to be made within seven (7) business
days following the determination of the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Neutral Arbitrator awards $600 in favor of Sellers’ position, 60% of the costs of the
Neutral Arbitrator’s review would be borne by the Purchasers and 40% of the costs would be borne by Sellers. In addition, without limiting Section 5.6, the Purchasers and Sellers’ Representative will give the Neutral Arbitrator
access to all records, facilities and personnel of such Party and its Affiliates and Representatives as is reasonably necessary to perform its function as arbitrator. The Purchasers and Sellers’ Representative will use their commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Neutral Arbitrator to deliver to the Purchasers and Sellers’ Representative a written determination (such determination to include an explanation in reasonable detail of the reasons for such determination and a
work sheet setting forth all material calculations and methods used in arriving at such determination) of the Disputed Items submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator and the resulting effect thereof on the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement
within twenty (20) calendar days of the Neutral Arbitrator’s receipt of such Disputed Items, which determination will be final, binding and conclusive and upon which judgment may be entered. The final, binding and conclusive Post-Closing
Net Working Capital Statement based either upon agreement or deemed agreement by the Purchasers and Sellers’ Representative or the written determination delivered by the Neutral Arbitrator in accordance with this Section 2.3(c) will
be the “Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement.” 
 (f) Post Closing Adjustment. Within seven
(7) business days after the final determination of the Net Adjustment Amount, as provided in Section 2.3(c) above: 
 (i) if the Net Working Capital set forth on the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, the Purchasers shall pay an amount equal to the Net Adjustment
Amount to Sellers’ Representative by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by Sellers’ Representative. 
 (ii) If the Net Working Capital set forth on the Conclusive Set Working Capital Statement is more negative than the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, then the Purchasers and Sellers’
Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release a portion of the Adjustment Escrow Amount equal to the absolute value of the Net Adjustment Amount to the Purchasers or their designee, and if the Adjustment
Escrow Amount is not sufficient to cover the absolute value of the Net Adjustment Amount in full, the Purchasers may thereafter recover any remaining amount in cash directly from the Sellers, or, at the Purchasers election in their sole


  
 8 








 
discretion, by a joint written instruction from the Purchasers and Sellers’ Representative to the Escrow Agent to release a portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount equal to such shortfall to
the Purchasers or as they direct, in any case, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Purchasers. 
 All payments to be made pursuant to this Section 2.3(d) will be made no later than the tenth (10th) business day following the date on which the Purchasers and Sellers’
Representative agree, or are deemed to have agreed to, or the Neutral Arbitrator delivers, the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement. In addition, any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.3(d) shall be deemed to be, and each of
Sellers’ Representative and the Purchasers shall treat such payments as, an adjustment to the Initial Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes. 

2.4 Second Closing and Deliveries. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the closing of the purchase and
sale of the PTI Shares (the “Second Closing”) shall take place on the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the satisfaction and/or waiver of all conditions to the Second Closing set forth in Section 6.5
(other than those conditions that by their nature have to be satisfied at Second Closing (but subject to the satisfaction and/or waiver of those conditions)) has not occurred on or before the Closing Date, then (a) the Second Closing shall take
place as promptly as practicable thereafter, but in no event more than four (4) business days following the satisfaction and/or waiver of all conditions to the Second Closing set forth in Section 6.5 (other than those conditions
that by their nature have to be satisfied at Second Closing (but subject to the satisfaction and/or waiver of those conditions)), at the offices of O’Melveny & Myers LLP, Two Embarcadero Center, 28th Floor, San Francisco, California
94111, or at such other place and time as the Parties may agree in writing, and (b) the Initial Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be reduced by $3,000,000 (the “PTI Purchase Price”), and the PTI Purchase Price shall
be deposited at the Closing by or on behalf of the Purchasers with the Escrow Agent to be held in the Second Closing Escrow Account (such deposit of the PTI Purchase Price, the “Second Closing Escrow Amount”). At the Second Closing,
(x) the Sellers shall deliver a duly executed copy of the PTI Carrier Services Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “PTI Carrier Services Agreement”); and (y) the Purchasers and
Sellers’ Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release the Second Closing Escrow Amount to the Purchasers or their designee no later than three (3) days after the date on which the Second Closing
actually occurs. If the Second Closing does not occur prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing and the Sellers and the Purchasers have not otherwise agreed in writing to work toward a Second Closing, then the obligations of Sellers
to sell and Purchasers to purchase the PTI Shares shall terminate.

liability company power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign Person in each jurisdiction where the
ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or 

  
 35 









 
conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, validly existing, qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not
have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. Each Purchaser has made available to the Sellers prior to the date of this Agreement true and complete copies of its certificate or articles of incorporation and its bylaws, in each case, including any
amendments through the date hereof. Each Purchaser is not in violation of its certificate or articles of incorporation and its bylaws in any material respect. 
 4.2 Authority. Each Purchaser has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery
and performance by each Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by each Purchaser, and no other proceedings on the part of each Purchaser are necessary to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance by each Purchaser of this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Purchaser, and, assuming due authorization and
delivery by the Sellers, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each Purchaser, enforceable against each Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) equitable remedies of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be
subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. 
 4.3
No Conflict; Required Filings. 
 (a) The execution, delivery and performance by each Purchaser of this Agreement and the
consummation by each Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not and will not (i) contravene or conflict with the charter or governing documents of each Purchaser, (ii) assuming compliance with the matters
referenced in Section 4.3(b), contravene or conflict with or constitute a violation of any provision of any Law binding upon or applicable to each Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective properties or assets or

any loan, guarantee of indebtedness or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, agreement, contract, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, right or license binding upon each Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or result in the
creation of any Encumbrance (other than Permitted Encumbrances) upon any of the properties or assets of each Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), any such contravention, conflict, violation,
default, termination, cancellation, acceleration, loss or Encumbrance that would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) No material consent of, or registration, declaration, notice or filing with, any Person (including any Governmental Authority) is required to be


  
 36 









 
obtained or made by each Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, other than (i) the FCC Approvals, (ii) the State PUC Approvals, (iii) the Non-U.S. Telecommunications Approvals, (iv) if applicable, a joint filing with and clearance by CFIUS pursuant to the Defense Production Act,
(v) if applicable, compliance with the Competition Act for purposes of obtaining the Competition Act Approval, (vi) if applicable, compliance with the ICA for purposes of obtaining the ICA Clearances, (vii) if applicable, compliance
with the HSR Act and (viii) those that, if not made or obtained, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially hinder or materially delay the Closing or reasonably be expected to result in a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

 (c) To the Knowledge of each Purchaser, each Purchaser is legally, financially, and otherwise qualified to acquire control
of the Permits that are issued by the FCC, any State PUCs, or Non-U.S. Telecommunications Agency, or any other Governmental Authority under applicable Law, including the Communications Act, rules, regulations and policies of the FCC, state Law
applicable to providers of telecommunications services, rules regulations and policies of the State PUCs, non-U.S. laws applicable to providers of telecommunications services, and rules, regulations and policies of Non-U.S. Telecommunications
Agencies (collectively, the “Communications Laws”). To the Knowledge of each Purchaser, there are no facts that would under existing Communications Laws disqualify each Purchaser as transferee of the Permits. There are no pending
matters, or to the Knowledge of each Purchaser, threatened matters, related to each Purchaser or its qualifications that would reasonably be expected to result in a denial or delay in obtaining FCC Approvals, State PUC Approvals and/or the Non-U.S.
Telecommunications Approvals for the acquisition of control of the Permits. 
 4.4 Legal Proceedings. As of the date
hereof, there are no Actions or investigations pending against or, to the Knowledge of each Purchaser, threatened against, each Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective properties or assets by or before any Governmental
Authority that would reasonably be expected to result in a material and adverse effect on each Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 4.5 Financing; Limited Guarantee. 
 (a) The Purchasers have provided the
Sellers with true, accurate and complete copies of (i) an executed equity commitment letter from York Special Opportunities Fund, LP (the “Sponsor”) to provide equity financing to the Purchasers equal to amounts described
therein (the “Equity Commitment Letter”), (ii) an executed commitment letter for mezzanine debt and equity (the “Manulife Commitment Letter”) from the Manufacturers Life Insurance Company
(“Manulife”), and (iii) an executed debt commitment letter and related fee letter and term sheet (the “Senior Debt Commitment Letter” and together with the Manulife Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter,
the “Financing Commitments”) from the Bank of Montreal, HSBC Bank Canada and ATB Corporate Financial Services (the “Senior Lenders” and together with Manulife, the “Lenders”) pursuant to which, and subject
to the terms and conditions 

  
 37 









 
of which, the Senior Lenders have committed to provide the Purchasers with loans in the amounts described therein, the proceeds of which may be used to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (together with the equity financing pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter and the mezzanine debt and equity financing pursuant to the Manulife Commitment Letter, the “Financing”). The Equity Commitment Letter
provides that Parent and the Sellers are express third party beneficiaries thereof, with the right to enforce such Equity Commitment Letter on the terms described therein. Each of the Financing Commitments is a legal, valid and binding obligation of
each Purchaser (or its Affiliate, if applicable) and, to the Knowledge of Purchasers, the other parties thereto. Each of the Financing Commitments is in full force and effect, and none of the Financing Commitments has been withdrawn, rescinded or
terminated or otherwise amended or modified in any respect, and no such amendment or modification is contemplated. No Purchaser or any of their Affiliates is in breach of any of the terms or conditions set forth in any of the Financing Commitments,
and no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to constitute a breach, default or failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth therein. As of the date hereof, no Purchaser is
aware of any fact or occurrence existing on the date hereof that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to (A) make any of the assumptions or any of the statements set forth in the Financing Commitments
inaccurate, (B) result in any of the conditions in the Financing Commitments not being satisfied, (C) cause any of the Financing Commitments to be ineffective or (D) otherwise result in the Financing not being available on a timely
basis in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As of the date hereof, neither the Sponsor nor any Lender has notified any Purchaser of its intention to terminate any of the Financing Commitments or not to provide the
Financing. The net proceeds from the Financing will be sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay any fees and expenses of or payable by the Purchasers in connection therewith. The Purchasers have paid in
full any and all commitment or other fees required by the Financing Commitments that are due as of the date hereof, and will pay, after the date hereof, all such commitments and fees as they become due. Except for the Financing Commitments, there
are no side letters, understandings or other agreements or arrangements relating to the Financing to which any Purchaser or any of its Affiliates are a party. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the
full amount of the Financing or the conditions precedent thereto, other than as set forth in the Financing Commitments (the “Disclosed Conditions”). No Person has any right to impose, and none of the Sponsor, any Lender or any
Purchaser has any obligation to accept, any condition precedent to such funding other than the Disclosed Conditions nor any reduction to the aggregate amount available under the Financing Commitments on the Closing Date (nor any term or condition
which would have the effect of reducing the aggregate amount available under the Financing Commitments on the Closing Date). No Purchaser has any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any conditions to the funding of
the full amount of the Financing, or that the Financing will not be available to the Purchasers on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, it is not a condition to Closing under this Agreement for the Purchasers to obtain the Financing or any
alternative financing. 

  
 38 









 (b) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Purchasers have delivered to the
Sellers the Limited Guarantee. The Limited Guarantee is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Sponsor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and has not been amended, withdrawn or rescinded in
any respect. No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default on the part of the Sponsor under the Limited Guarantee. 
 4.6 Investment Intention; Investor Qualification. 
 (a) Each Purchaser is
acquiring the Equity Interests (or any portion thereof) as principal and not as agent and is acquiring such Equity Interests for investment and not with a view towards distributing all or a portion thereof in any transaction that would constitute a
“distribution” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such Equity Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act and neither the Sellers nor the Companies is under any obligation to file a
registration statement or similar filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), any state agency or any other Governmental Authority with respect to the Equity Interests. Each Purchaser understands that there is
no existing public or other market for such Equity Interests and there can be no assurance that each Purchaser will be able to sell or dispose of such Equity Interests. 
 (b) Each Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the risks and merits associated with the acquisition of the Equity Interests and is
acquiring the Equity Interests (or any portion thereof) for its own account for investment, with no present intention of making a public distribution thereof. Each Purchaser will not sell or otherwise dispose of such Equity Interests in violation of
the Securities Act or any other applicable local, state or foreign securities Laws. 
 4.7 Finder’s Fee. Neither the
Sellers nor the Companies nor any of their respective stockholders, members, option holders, directors, managers, officers or Affiliates will incur any liability to any party for any brokerage or finder’s fee or agent’s commission, or the
like, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Purchasers or their Affiliates. 
 4.8 No Additional Representations. 
 (a) Each Purchaser acknowledges that
it and its Representatives (i) have received access to such books and records, facilities, equipment, contracts and other assets of the Sellers, the Companies and their Subsidiaries which it and its Representatives have desired or requested to

nor any Person has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Companies, their Subsidiaries or the Business Made Available to the Purchaser and its Representatives
except as expressly set forth in Article III (which includes and is subject to the Disclosure Schedules), and none of the Sellers, the Companies, their Subsidiaries nor any other Person shall be subject to any liability to or obligation to
indemnify any Purchaser resulting from the Sellers’ or the Companies’ making available to any Purchaser or any Purchaser’s use of such information, or any information, documents or material Made Available to any Purchaser in the due
diligence materials provided to any Purchaser, including in the “data site” maintained by the Sellers for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in management presentations (formal or informal) or in any other form in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing described in this Section 4.8(b) shall limit any rights to indemnification in respect of the representations and warranties expressly
set forth in Article III as such indemnification is provided for in Article IX. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Sellers makes any representation or warranty to any Purchaser with respect to any financial projections or
forecasts relating to the Companies, their Subsidiaries or the Business, whether or not included in any management presentation. 
 4.9 Proxy Statement; Other Information. None of the information provided by or on behalf of each Purchaser or its Subsidiaries to be included in the Proxy Statement will, at the time provided by or
on behalf of the Purchasers or their Subsidiaries, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. 
 4.10 Lack of Ownership of Parent Common Stock. Neither each Purchaser nor
any of its Subsidiaries beneficially owns or, since July 1, 2009 has beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, any shares of Parent Common Stock or other securities convertible into, exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Parent

the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries, on the other hand. 

  
 40 









 4.12 Disclaimer of Other Representations and Warranties. Except for the
representations and warranties contained in this Article IV, each Purchaser makes no representation or warranty, express or implied.

Companies or any of their Subsidiaries be required to pay any fee, penalty or other consideration in excess of $50,000 to any third party for any consent or approval required for the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Contract, nor shall the Sellers, the Companies nor any of their Subsidiaries be required to materially modify any Contract, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement. 

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Sellers and the Purchasers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, (i) as
promptly as practicable make the necessary applications, requests, notices and other filings, including filings pursuant to the HSR Act, if applicable, and thereafter timely make all other filings and notifications, required to obtain or maintain
all FCC Approvals, State PUC Approvals, the Non-U.S. Telecommunications Approvals, and, if applicable, the CFIUS Clearance, the Competition Act Approval, and the ICA Clearances, (ii) use their respective reasonable best efforts to cooperate
with each other in (A) determining whether any filings are required to be made with, or consents, permits, authorizations, waivers or approvals are required to be obtained from, any third parties or other Governmental Authorities in connection
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) promptly providing each other with all information necessary for the preparation of such filings on a timely basis,
and (C) timely making all such filings and timely seeking all such consents, permits, authorizations or approvals, (iii) use their respective reasonable best efforts if commercially practicable to take, or cause to be taken, all other
actions and do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including taking all such further actions as may be necessary to resolve such
objections and/or inquiries, if any, as the United States Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, state antitrust enforcement authorities, competition authorities, national security authorities of
any other nation or other jurisdiction, the FCC, the State PUCs, Non-U.S. Telecommunications Agencies, CFIUS, the Canadian Competition Bureau, Industry Canada, or any other Person may assert under any Regulatory Law with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to enable the Closing to occur
as soon as reasonably possible, and (iv) subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental Authority, keep each other apprised of the status of and cooperate with each other with respect to matters relating to the
completion of the transactions contemplated thereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by the Sellers, the Companies, or the Purchasers, as the case may be, or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, from any third party and/or any Governmental Authority with respect to such transactions. 
 (c) In connection
with seeking the foregoing approvals, none of the Purchasers or Sellers or their respective Affiliates shall be required to, and Sellers may not, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers, become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree
to, or otherwise take any action, other than as expressly contemplated in this Agreement, with respect to, any requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, 

  
 45 









 
agreement or order to (i) sell, license, assign, transfer, divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion of business of the Purchasers, Sellers, or any of
their respective Affiliates in any manner, (ii) conduct, restrict, operate, or otherwise change the assets, business, or portion of business of the Purchasers, Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates in any manner, or (ii) impose any
restriction, requirement or limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of the Purchasers, Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates in any manner. 

(d) Each of the Sellers and the Purchasers shall permit counsel for the other Party reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and
consider in good faith the views of the other Party in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Authority (including the Proxy Statement). Each of the Sellers, on the one hand, and each of the Purchasers, on the other
hand, agrees not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other Parties
in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate. Upon receipt of prior notice thereof, each of the Sellers and the Purchasers shall ensure that its
appropriate officers and employees shall be available to attend, as the Sellers, the Purchasers or the applicable Governmental Authority may request, any scheduled hearings or meetings in connection with obtaining any FCC Approvals, State PUC
Approvals, the Non-U.S. Telecommunications Approvals, the CFIUS Clearance, the Competition Act Approval, and/or the ICA Clearances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2, materials provided to the other Party or
its outside counsel may be redacted to remove any estimate of the valuation of the Companies and their Subsidiaries or the Business, or the identities of other potential acquirers. The Parties shall take reasonable efforts to share information
protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this Section 5.2 so as to preserve any applicable privilege. 

(e) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the Parties contained in this Section 5.2, if any
administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Regulatory Law, each of the
Sellers and the Purchasers shall cooperate in all respects with the other and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree,
judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If there are any petitions for
reconsideration, appeals or similar filings made seeking to overturn the grant of any Company Approval, or if the FCC, any State PUC and/or any Non-U.S. Telecommunications Agency seeks to reconsider such grant on its own motion, then the Parties
shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to defend the applicable grants against such actions. If at any point during the CFIUS review process, CFIUS offers the Parties an opportunity to withdraw and resubmit their joint notice, and either
Party opts to 

  
 46 









 
request withdrawal and resubmission in response to such offer by CFIUS, then the other Party shall agree to join the request for withdrawal and resubmission at the end of the first initial 30-day
review. 
 (f) Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, no Party shall, and no Party shall cause its Affiliates to,
take any action (including any acquisition of businesses or assets) which would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement due to the actions of any Governmental Authority.

 (g) For purposes of this Agreement, “Regulatory Law” means all federal, state, local or foreign statutes,
rules, regulations, orders, decrees, administrative and judicial doctrines and other Laws that are designed to (i) prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening
competition through merger or acquisition, (ii) protect the national security or the national economy of any nation or (iii) regulate the telecommunications industry in any nation (including the Communications Act). 

5.3 Financing. 
 (a) Each Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (as applicable), to, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing
Commitments, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) comply with its obligations under the Financing Commitments, (ii) maintain in effect the Financing Commitments, (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with
respect to the Financing Commitments on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Purchasers than those contained in the Financing Commitments, (iv) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to the Purchasers contained in the
Financing Commitments (or any conditions applicable to the Purchasers which are required to be satisfied at or prior to Closing contained in any definitive agreements related thereto), including the payment of any commitment, engagement or placement
fees required as a condition to the Financing, (v) enforce all of its rights under the Financing Commitments (or any conditions applicable to the Purchasers which are required to be satisfied at or prior to Closing contained in any definitive
agreements related thereto) and (vi) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing Date (it being understood that it is not a condition to the Closing under this Agreement, nor to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
for the Purchasers to obtain the Financing or any alternative financing). The Purchasers shall keep the Sellers informed on a reasonable basis and in reasonable detail of the status of their efforts to arrange the Financing (including, upon request,
providing the Sellers with copies of all definitive agreements and other documents related to the Financing). The Purchasers shall give the Sellers prompt notice upon becoming aware of any breach by any party of any of the Financing Commitments or
any termination of any of the Financing Commitments. From the date hereof until the Closing, the Purchasers shall not, without the prior written consent of the Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed),
amend, modify, supplement or waive any of the conditions or contingencies to funding contained in the Financing Commitments (or any of the conditions or contingencies to 

  
 47 









 
funding contained in any of the definitive agreements related thereto) or any other provision of, or remedies under, the Financing Commitments (or any definitive agreements related thereto), in
each case, to the extent such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver could reasonably be expected to have the effect of (A) adversely affecting the ability of any Purchaser to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or (B) amending, modifying, supplementing or waiving the conditions or contingencies to funding contained in the Financing Commitments (or any of the conditions or contingencies to funding contained in any of the definitive agreements
related thereto) in a manner materially adverse to the Sellers. In the event all conditions applicable to the Senior Debt Commitment Letter or the Manulife Commitment Letter have been satisfied, the Purchasers shall use their respective reasonable
best efforts to cause the applicable Lender(s) to fund the debt and equity financing pursuant to the Senior Debt Commitment Letter and the Manulife Commitment Letter required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including
by Purchasers taking enforcement action against the applicable Lender(s) to cause such Lender(s) to fund such financing). In the event that any portion of the debt and equity financing pursuant to the Senior Debt Commitment Letter or the Manulife
Commitment Letter becomes unavailable, the Purchasers shall notify the Sellers and use their respective reasonable best efforts to arrange alternative financing from the same or other sources on terms and conditions not materially less favorable in
the aggregate to the Purchasers than those contained in the Senior Debt Commitment Letter or the Manulife Commitment Letter (as applicable) as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or modified with the consent of the Sellers), and in
an amount sufficient to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.3(a) shall require, and in no event shall the
reasonable best efforts of the Purchasers be deemed or construed to require, the Purchasers to (x) incur the debt and equity financing pursuant to the Senior Debt Commitment Letter and the Manulife Commitment Letter on terms materially less
favorable than the “market flex” provisions contained in the Senior Debt Commitment Letter and the Manulife Commitment Letter (or any related fee letter) as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or modified with the consent
of the Sellers), or (b) pay any fees or other compensation in any form materially in excess of those contemplated by the Senior Debt Commitment Letter and the Manulife Commitment Letter or any related fee letter (whether to secure waiver of any
conditions contained therein or otherwise) as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or modified with the consent of the Sellers). In such event, (1) the term “Financing” as used in this Agreement will be deemed to
include any such alternative financing, and (2) the term “Financing Commitments” will be deemed to include any commitment letters with respect to any such alternative financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and for
the avoidance of doubt, each Purchaser acknowledges that it shall not be a condition to the Closing that the Purchasers receive the Financing or any alternative financing. 
 (b) The Sellers will, and will cause their Subsidiaries to, at the Purchasers’ sole expense (except with respect to clause (v) below), cooperate reasonably with the Purchasers and their
authorized representatives in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, including (i) participating in a reasonable number of 

  
 48 









 
meetings on reasonable advance notice, (ii) furnishing information (including financial statements) reasonably required to be included in the preparation of offering memoranda, private
placement memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents, (iii) cooperation in respect of the preparation of any underwriting or placement agreements, pledge and security documents and other definitive financing documents; provided, that the
Companies shall not be required to become subject to any obligations with respect to such agreements or documents prior to the Closing, (iv) taking such reasonable actions as may be required to facilitate the pledge of collateral to secure the
Financing (including cooperation in connection with the pay-off of existing Indebtedness and the release of Liens related thereto), (v) obtaining all waivers, consents and approvals from other parties to Contracts and Encumbrances to which the
Companies or their Subsidiaries are party to or by which any of them or their assets or properties are bound or subject, and (vi) taking all other actions reasonably necessary to permit the consummation of the Financing. Any information
provided by the Sellers to the Purchasers pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Sellers, the Companies and their respective Affiliates and
representatives shall not have any responsibility for, or incur any liability to any Person under or in connection with, the arrangement of the Financing or any alternative financing that the Purchasers may raise in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and that the Purchasers shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers, the Companies and their respective Affiliates and representatives from and against any and all losses suffered or
incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing or any alternative financing and any information utilized in connection therewith. 
 5.4 Confidentiality; Access to Information. 
 (a) Each of the Purchasers
acknowledges that the information made available to it by the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (or their respective agents or representatives) is subject to the terms of that certain Confidentiality and Standstill Agreement, dated as of
September 18, 2012, by and between York Special Opportunities Fund, L.P. and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions of the
Confidentiality Agreement will terminate with respect to “Evaluation Material” (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) relating to the Companies, their Subsidiaries and/or the Business and no party thereto (nor any of their
respective successors in interest) shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations of any nature whatsoever with respect thereto; provided, however, that each of the Purchasers hereby further acknowledges and agrees
that its confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations in the Confidentiality Agreement will terminate only with respect to such “Evaluation Material” relating to the Companies, their Subsidiaries and/or the Business and that any and all
other “Evaluation Material” provided or made available to it by the Sellers or their respective Affiliates (or their respective agents or representatives) concerning the Sellers or their respective Affiliates (other than the Companies,
their Subsidiaries and/or the Business) shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms to the extent not modified by this Section 5.4(a).

 (b) Between the date hereof and the Closing, the Sellers shall, subject to compliance with applicable Laws and any Contracts
to which the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates (including the Companies and their Subsidiaries) is a party, provide the Purchasers access and the opportunity to make such investigation of the management, employees, properties, businesses
and operations of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, and such examination of the books, records and financial condition of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, as they reasonably request; provided, however, that neither the Sellers
nor any of their Affiliates shall be required to disclose to the Purchasers or any agent or Representative of the Purchasers any information if they believe in good faith (after consultation with knowledgeable counsel) that doing so could result in
a loss of the ability to successfully assert a claim of privilege (including the attorney-client and work product privileges) or such disclosure would violate any applicable Law or contractual requirement. Any such investigation and examination will
be conducted under reasonable circumstances after appropriate advance notice and in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the Business. No investigation pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) shall affect any representation
or warranty of any of the Sellers in this Agreement or any condition to the obligations of either Purchaser hereunder. 

  
 49 









 5.5 Public Announcements. The Sellers and the Purchasers agree to issue a joint press
release announcing this Agreement. The Sellers and the Purchasers will consult with and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon any press release or other public statement or comment prior to the issuance of such press release
or other public statement or comment relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or other public statement or comment prior to such consultation except, in each case, as may be
required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with, or requirement of, the New York Stock Exchange, in the case of the Sellers or their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) without the prior
consent of the Purchasers, the Sellers may, and may cause the Companies and/or their Subsidiaries to, (a) communicate with customers, vendors, suppliers, financial analysts, investors and media representatives in a manner consistent with past
practice and not inconsistent in any respect with any press release or public announcement made in accordance with to this Section 5.5 and (b) disseminate the information included in a press release or other document previously
approved for external distribution by the Purchasers and (B) without the prior consent of the Sellers, the Purchasers may communicate on a non-public and confidential basis with their respective shareholders and such shareholders’
respective limited partners and prospective limited partners regarding the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 5.6 Books and
Records. 
 (a) The Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the
Purchasers at Closing all properties, books, records, Contracts, information and documents relating to the Business that are not then in the possession or control of the Companies and/or their Subsidiaries. As soon as reasonably practicable after
the Closing, but in no event later than twenty (20) business 

  
 50 









 
days following the Closing, the Sellers will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Purchasers any remaining properties, books, records, Contracts, information and documents relating primarily
to the Business that are not already in the possession or control of the Companies and/or their Subsidiaries (it being understood that location of such properties, books, records, Contracts, information and documents on the premises of the Companies
shall be deemed delivery). 
 (b) Subject to Section 7.2(a) (relating to the preservation of Tax records), the
Sellers and the Purchasers agree that each of them will preserve and keep the books of accounts, financial and other records held by it relating to the Business (including accountants’ work papers) for a period of six (6) years from the
Closing Date in accordance with their respective corporate records retention policies. The Sellers and the Purchasers shall make such records, other information relating to the Business, employees and auditors available to the other as may be
reasonably required by such party (i) in connection with, among other things, any audit or investigation of, insurance claims by, legal proceedings against, disputes involving or governmental investigations of the Sellers or the Purchasers or
any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) in order to enable the Sellers or the Purchasers to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or
(iii) for any other reasonable business purpose relating to the Sellers, the Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates. 
 5.7 Further Action. From time to time after the Closing Date, and for no further consideration, each of the Sellers and the Purchasers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to,
execute, acknowledge and deliver such assignments, transfers, consents, assumptions and other documents and instruments and take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary to appropriately consummate the transactions contemplated hereby,
including (a) transferring back to the Sellers or their respective designated Affiliates any asset or liability which was inadvertently transferred to, or held by, the Companies or their Subsidiaries at the Closing, (b) transferring to the
Purchasers any asset or liability contemplated by this Agreement to be transferred to the Purchasers and which was not so transferred at the Closing, (c) remitting promptly to the Sellers any cash amounts actually received by any Purchaser in
respect of any business of the Sellers other than the Business after the Closing Date, (d) remitting promptly to the Purchasers any cash amounts actually received by any Seller or their respective Subsidiaries in respect of the Business after
the Closing Date, (e) promptly delivering to the Sellers or the Purchasers, as the case may be, any mail or other communication received by the Sellers after the Closing Date pertaining to the Business, or by the Purchasers in respect of any
business of the Sellers other than the Business, and (f) referring all inquiries with respect to the Business to the Purchasers, in the case of the Sellers, and referring all inquiries with respect to any business of the Sellers, in the case of
the Purchasers. 
 5.8 Expenses. Except as set forth in Sections 8.3 and 8.4, whether or not the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the Party incurring or required to incur such
expenses; provided, however, that all fees (other than legal fees of Parent or the Sellers) 

  
 51 









 
paid in respect of any filings or submissions relating to the FCC Approvals, the State PUC Approvals, the Non-U.S. Telecommunications Approvals, the CFIUS Clearance, the Competition Act Approval,
the ICA Clearances, or other regulatory and/or antitrust filings shall be borne by the Purchasers. For the avoidance of doubt, all costs and expenses (other than legal fees of the Purchasers) incurred in connection with the Restructuring
Transactions and with the printing, filing and mailing of the Proxy Statement (including applicable SEC filing fees) shall be borne by the Sellers. 
 5.9 Notice of Developments. Each Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Party of any statement or information contained in such Party’s representations and warranties (or any
corresponding Disclosure Schedule) that is incomplete or inaccurate in any material respect. During the period between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the Sellers shall be entitled to update the Disclosure Schedule to the extent
information contained therein or any representation or warranty of any Seller becomes untrue or incomplete or inaccurate after the date hereof due to events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof; provided, however, that
Purchasers shall not be required to close the transactions contemplated hereby if a reasonable acquirer of the Companies who has knowledge of the Companies and their respective Subsidiaries would determine that the facts or circumstances listed in
such updates to the Disclosure Schedule would make: (i) any Seller Fundamental Representation (other than the representations and warranties of each of the Sellers set forth in Section 3.4(c)) untrue or incomplete or inaccurate in
all but de minimis respects, or (ii) any other representations and warranties of the Sellers untrue or incomplete or inaccurate in all respects without giving effect to the words “materiality” or “material” or to any
qualifications based on such terms or based on the defined term “Material Adverse Effect”, except for such failures to be true, complete or accurate which, individually or in the aggregate, would result in a Material Adverse Effect. If the
Closing occurs, any such update shall be deemed to have amended the Disclosure Schedule, to have qualified the relevant representations and warranties contained in Article III and to have cured any breach of representation or warranty that otherwise
might have existed hereunder by reason of such event or circumstance. Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 5.9, shall be interpreted or construed to imply that any Seller is making any representation or warranty as of any
date other than as otherwise set forth herein. 
 5.10 Intercompany Accounts. No later than the Closing Date, subject to
the Purchasers’ prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Sellers shall terminate or cancel any and all intercompany accounts and Contracts (excluding ordinary course arms’ length trade payables and
receivables) between the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and the Companies and their Subsidiaries, on the other hand. 

5.11 Indemnification and Insurance. 
 (a) Each of the Purchasers agrees that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of each Person who is now or has been prior to the date hereof, or who
becomes prior to the Closing, a 

  
 52 









 
director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent, as the case may be, of any of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Individual”) as provided in their
respective certificates of incorporation or by-laws or other organizational documents or in any agreement shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect. For a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, the Purchasers
shall cause the certificates of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational documents of the Companies and their Subsidiaries to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnified Individuals with respect to exculpation, limitation of
liabilities and indemnification than are set forth in the certificates of incorporation and by-laws or similar organizational documents of the Companies and their Subsidiaries in effect immediately prior to the Closing, and shall not amend, repeal
or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Person who is now or has been prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Closing, a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or
agent of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any action or proceeding pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the
disposition of such action or proceeding or resolution of such claim. 
 (b) At the Sellers’ sole option and expense,
prior to the Closing, the Sellers may cause the Companies or their Subsidiaries to purchase a six-year prepaid “tail” policy on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Companies and their Subsidiaries (or their Affiliates) with respect to matters arising on or before the Closing, covering without limitation the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. If such “tail” prepaid policy has been obtained prior to the Closing, the Purchasers shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder
to be honored by the Companies and their Subsidiaries. 
 (c) The rights of each Indemnified Individual hereunder shall be in
addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Individual may have under the certificates of incorporation or by-laws or other organizational documents of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, any other
indemnification agreement or arrangement or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 5.11 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and expressly are intended to benefit, and are specifically
enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Individuals. 
 (d) In the event either Purchaser or its 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 such Purchaser shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.11. 

5.12 Waiver of Conflicts and Attorney-Client Privilege. Each of the Purchasers hereby waives, on its own behalf, and agrees to
cause the Companies and their 

  
 53 









 
Subsidiaries to waive, (a) any conflicts that may arise in connection with any legal counsel that represents the Sellers or the Companies or their Subsidiaries in connection with this
Agreement (the “Current Representation”) undertaking after the Closing the representation of any current officer, director, employee, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of the Companies or their Subsidiaries (a
“Post-Closing Representation”) and (b) their rights of attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between such counsel and any such officer, director, employee, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate
occurring during the Current Representation in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute with such Purchaser on or following the Closing. 

5.13 Transaction Bonuses. Any payment that is or becomes due and payable to any current or former employee, officer, director,
leased employee, consultant or agent (or their respective beneficiaries) of any Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each of the individuals listed in Section 3.12(j) of the Disclosure Schedule) in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be paid by the Sellers at the Closing out of the Initial Purchase Price. 
 5.14 No Solicitation. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of this
Section 5.14, promptly following its execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent and each of the Sellers and Companies and their Subsidiaries shall cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Person
with respect to any Alternative Proposal, and Parent shall deliver a written notice to each such Person to the effect that Parent is ending all discussions and negotiations with such Person with respect to any Alternative Proposal, effective on and
from the date of this Agreement. Such notice shall also request such Person to promptly return or destroy all confidential information concerning Parent and/or its Subsidiaries, including the Sellers and the Companies and their Subsidiaries. Subject
to the provisions of this Section 5.14, during the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the earlier to occur of the Closing and the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII,
Parent and its Subsidiaries shall not, and shall use its and their reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage any inquiry with respect
to, or the making, submission or announcement of, any Alternative Proposal, (ii) furnish to any Person (other than the Purchasers or their respective designees) any non-public information relating to Parent and/or its Subsidiaries, or afford to
any Person access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any personnel, of Parent and/or its Subsidiaries (other than the Purchasers or their respective designees), in any such case with the intent
to induce the making, submission or announcement of, or to encourage, facilitate or assist, an Alternative Proposal or any inquiries or the making of any proposal that could lead to an Alternative Proposal, (iii) engage in discussions regarding
any Alternative Proposal with any Person that has made or, to Parent’s Knowledge, is considering making, an Alternative Proposal, except to notify such Person as to the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.14,
(iv) approve, endorse or recommend an Alternative Proposal, or (v) cause or permit Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into 

  
 54 









 
or to modify or amend (other than to terminate) any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture
agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) relating to any Alternative Proposal (other than any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement). 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.14 or elsewhere in this Agreement, at all times
prior to the Closing, Parent (acting under the direction of the Special Committee) may, directly or indirectly through one or more Affiliates or Representatives, participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, furnish any non-public
information relating to Parent and/or its Subsidiaries to, and/or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to the personnel, of Parent and/or its Subsidiaries pursuant to an Acceptable
Confidentiality Agreement to (provided, that Parent shall promptly make available to the Purchasers any material non-public information concerning Parent and/or its Subsidiaries that is provided to any Person given such access which was not
previously Made Available to the Purchasers) any Person (and/or its Affiliates or Representatives) that has made or delivered to Parent an Alternative Proposal that was not solicited in breach of Section 5.14(a); provided, that
the Special Committee shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Alternative Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to lead to a
Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Committee or the Board of Directors of Parent shall be permitted, to the extent it determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and
outside legal counsel) that failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties, to modify, waive, amend or release any existing standstill obligations owed by any Person to Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries. The Sellers will as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 48 hours of receipt of such Alternative Proposal or inquiry), notify the Purchasers in writing of the receipt of any Alternative Proposal or any inquiry
with respect to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Alternative Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the Person making such Alternative Proposal or inquiry, and the Sellers will, as
promptly as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 48 hours of receipt of such Alternative Proposal or inquiry), provide to the Purchasers a copy of all written proposals provided to the Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries in connection
with any such Alternative Proposal or inquiry. The Sellers will, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 48 hours of receipt of such Alternative Proposal or inquiry), notify the Purchasers in writing of any material
modifications to the financial or other material terms of such Alternative Proposal or inquiry and will, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 48 hours of receipt of such Alternative Proposal or inquiry), provide to the
Purchasers a copy of all written proposals subsequently provided to or by the Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries in connection with any such Alternative Proposal or inquiry. 

(c) Except as provided by Section 5.14(d), at any time after the execution of this Agreement, neither the Special Committee

 55

to the Parent Meeting, (x) if Parent is then in receipt of a written Alternative Proposal from any Person that is not withdrawn and that the Special Committee or the Board of Directors of Parent concludes in good faith, after consultation with
its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Special Committee or the Board of Directors of Parent may (1) effect a Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 8.1(g), and/or
(2) authorize Parent to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(e) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, or (y) in response to an Intervening Event, the

Period”), to the effect that absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Special Committee or the Board of Directors of Parent has resolved to effect a Change of Recommendation and/or to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8.1(e), which notice shall specify the basis for such Change of Recommendation and/or termination, including in the case of clause (x) above the identity of the Person making the Superior Proposal and the

Agreement; 
 (ii) in the case of clause (x) above, Parent shall have complied in all material respects
with its obligations under this Section 5.14 with respect to such Superior Proposal including not having materially breached the provisions of Sections 5.14(a) and (b); and

promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder, or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Special Committee or the Board of
Directors of Parent determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties or
would constitute a violation of applicable Law. It is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement (including Article VIII), a factually accurate public statement by Parent that describes Parent’s receipt of an Alternative
Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto, or any “stop, look and listen” communication by the Special Committee or the Board of Directors of Parent, shall not constitute a Change of Recommendation or an approval or
recommendation with respect to any Alternative Proposal.

single transaction or series of related transactions, and whether directly or indirectly, any purchase of the Equity Interests or any sale of the assets of the Companies. 
 (j) As used in this Agreement, “Alternative Transaction” shall mean any proposal, inquiry or offer, including any proposal, inquiry or offer from or to Parent’s stockholders, made by
any Person or group (as defined under Rule 13(d) of the Exchange Act) other than the Purchasers, their respective Subsidiaries and/or any of their respective Affiliates relating to, whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions,
and whether directly or indirectly, any (i) merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, joint venture, partnership, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or similar transaction involving Parent and/or any

and/or its Subsidiaries

Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any Alternative Proposal or Alternative Transaction made by any Person on terms that the Special Committee or the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith (after consultation
with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel), considering such factors as the Special Committee or the Board of Directors of Parent considers to be appropriate (including the conditionality, timing and likelihood of consummation of such
proposal), are more favorable to Parent and its stockholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (l) As
used in this Agreement, “Intervening Event” shall mean a material event, development or change with respect to the Companies and their Subsidiaries or the Business, that occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement and on or
prior to the date of the Parent Stockholder Approval; provided, that the receipt of a Superior Proposal will not be deemed to constitute an Intervening Event. 
 5.15 Proxy Statement; Parent Meeting. 
 (a) Parent shall prepare and file
with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, a preliminary proxy statement in connection with seeking the adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of Parent (such proxy statement, including any amendment or supplement
thereto, the “Proxy Statement”), which shall, subject to Section 5.14, include the Recommendation, and shall use all reasonable efforts to respond to any comments by the SEC staff in respect of the Proxy Statement.
Parent shall furnish to the Purchasers all information concerning the Proxy Statement as the Purchasers may reasonably request. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchasers shall provide to Parent such information as Parent may
reasonably request for inclusion in the Proxy Statement. If, at any time prior to the Parent Meeting, any inaccuracy or omission of information relating to Parent or its Affiliates, officers or directors should be discovered by Parent, or any
inaccuracy or omission of information relating to the Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors should be discovered by the Purchasers, in either case which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy
Statement, so that the Proxy Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they are made, not misleading, then such Party shall promptly notify the other Parties, and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed with the SEC. Parent shall cause


  
 58 









 
the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed promptly after the date the SEC staff advises that it has no further comments thereon or that Parent may commence mailing the Proxy Statement.

 (b) Following the clearance of the Proxy Statement by the SEC, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and unless
this Agreement has been validly terminated pursuant to Article VIII, Parent shall take all action necessary in accordance with the DGCL and its certificate of incorporation and by-laws to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting
of its stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval (the “Parent Meeting”). 

5.16 Employee Benefits. 
 (a) Each of the Purchasers agrees that each Company Employee who continues employment with such Purchaser or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date (a “Continuing Employee”) shall
be provided, for a period extending until the earlier of the termination of such Continuing Employee’s employment with such entities or the first anniversary of the Closing Date, with compensation and benefits that are not materially less
favorable, in the aggregate, than the compensation and benefits provided by the Sellers and/or the Companies to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, excluding for such purpose any equity compensation, defined
benefit, retiree medical, retiree life plan, policy, arrangement, or agreement, and any retention, transaction, sale or similar bonus or compensation arrangement. Nothing in this Agreement (i) shall require either Purchaser or any of its
Affiliates to continue to employ any particular Employee following the Closing Date, or (ii) shall be construed to prohibit either Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from amending or terminating any Company Plan, or terminating any Continuing
Employee in accordance with applicable Law. 
 (b) Each of the Purchasers shall take all commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure that, as of the Closing Date, each Continuing Employee receives full credit (for all purposes, including eligibility to participate, vesting, vacation entitlement and severance benefits, but excluding benefit accrual) for service with the
Sellers and/or the Companies prior to the Closing Date under each of the comparable employee benefit plans, programs and policies, if any, of such Purchaser or the relevant Affiliate, as applicable, in which such Continuing Employee becomes a
participant; provided, however, that no such service recognition shall result in any duplication of benefits. As of the Closing Date, each of the Purchasers shall, or shall cause the relevant Affiliate to, credit to Continuing
Employees the amount of unused vacation time that such employees had accrued under any applicable Company Plan as of the Closing Date. With respect to each health or welfare benefit plan maintained by either of the Purchasers or the relevant
Affiliate for the benefit of any Continuing Employees, subject only to any required approval of the applicable insurance provider and applicable Law, if any, such Purchaser shall (i) cause to be waived any eligibility waiting periods, any
evidence of insurability requirements and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations under such plan (each to the extent applicable under the Company Plans), and (ii) cause


  
 59 









 
each Continuing Employee to be given credit under such plan for all amounts paid by such Continuing Employee under any similar Company Plan for the plan year that includes the Closing Date for
purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan, if any, maintained by such Purchaser or the relevant Affiliate, as
applicable, for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs. 
 (c) No provision of this Agreement shall (i) create any
third party beneficiary rights in any Continuing Employee or any other employee, any beneficiary or dependents thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and
benefits that may be provided to any Continuing Employee by the Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates or under any benefit plan which such entity may maintain, or otherwise, or (ii) be construed as in any way modifying or amending
the provisions of any Company Plan. The Sellers shall cooperate with the Purchasers and any applicable Affiliate thereof in respect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.16, including making available such non-confidential data
in personnel records as is necessary for the Purchasers to effectuate this Section 5.16. 
 (d) The Sellers shall
accelerate for any Continuing Employee as of the Closing Date the vesting and exercisability of any unvested benefits and awards under any Company Plan (including under any 401(k) Plan and any outstanding equity compensation awards). For the
avoidance of doubt, all performance conditions related to any unvested benefits and awards will be deemed to have been met. Any such awards that are stock options or similar awards will remain exercisable for the period provided in the applicable
award agreement. 
 (e) Each of the Purchasers agrees to provide continuation health care coverage, as defined in
Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601 to 608 of ERISA, to all employees and former employees (and their qualified beneficiaries) (i) who incur or incurred a qualifying event prior to the Closing Date or as a result of the Closing and
(ii) to whom any Company or any of their Subsidiaries are, on or before the Closing Date, (A) providing such continuation coverage or (B) under an obligation to provide such continuation coverage at the election of the employee or
former employee or his or her qualified beneficiary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchasers shall have no obligation to provide continuation coverage for any employee or former employee (or a qualified beneficiary thereof) of any Seller or
Affiliate thereof other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries. 
 5.17 Reserved. 

5.18 Restructuring Transactions. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent and each of the Sellers
shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, consummate the Restructuring Transactions substantially in the manner described in Section 1.3 of the Disclosure Schedule. 

  
 60 









 5.19 Certain Post-Closing Covenants. During the fourteen (14) month period
immediately following the Closing and for so long thereafter as any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Article IX during such fourteen (14) month period remains outstanding and unresolved, the Sellers shall not, and Parent shall cause
the Sellers not to, permit Cash and Cash Equivalents, determined on a monthly basis over any calendar month during such period, as reflected on Parent’s consolidated balance sheet (prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis
throughout such period), to be less than the Minimum Cash Balance. Parent shall provide the Purchasers reasonable verification (and provision of a bank or similar statement shall be deemed to constitute a non-exclusive means of such verification) of
Cash and Cash Equivalents meeting the Minimum Cash Balance on a monthly basis. 
 5.20 Post-Closing Name Change.
Promptly, but in no event more than 60 days following the Closing, Parent and the Sellers shall, and shall cause each of their Affiliates and their Subsidiaries (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries) to remove all references to the
Primus Trademark and all Intellectual Property related to the Primus Trademark, and file all necessary paperwork to effect the foregoing name change. 
 5.21 PTI Distributions. PTI shall not, and Parent and the Sellers shall cause PTI not to, make any cash distributions (other than the Management Fee) during the period, if any, between the Closing
and the Second Closing; provided, however, if the Second Closing does not occur prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing and the Sellers and the Purchasers have not otherwise agreed in writing to work toward a Second
Closing, then PTI shall no longer be subject to any restrictions on making cash distributions (other than the Management Fee) from such anniversary date so long as there is no accrued and unpaid Management Fee.

upon request, to use their 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
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby). 
 (c) After the Closing Date, the Purchasers shall notify the Sellers
within ten (10) days of the commencement of any notice of Tax deficiency, proposed Tax adjustment, Tax assessment, Tax audit, Tax examination or other administrative or court proceeding, suit, dispute or other claim with respect to Taxes
relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period affecting the Taxes of or with respect to any of the Companies or the Companies’ Subsidiaries that, if determined adversely to the taxpayer or after the lapse of time would reasonably be expected to result
in an increase in Tax liability of the Sellers or their respective Affiliates under this Agreement (a “Tax Claim”). Thereafter, the Purchasers shall deliver to the Sellers, as promptly as possible


  
 67 









 
but in no event later than twenty (20) days after receipt thereof, copies of all relevant notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Purchasers or any of their respective
Affiliates. The Sellers shall, at their sole expense, have the right to control the conduct of any such Tax Claim and shall have the right to settle any such Tax Claim; provided, however, that neither the Sellers nor any of their Affiliates shall
enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any Tax Claim that adversely affects or may adversely affect the Tax liability of the Purchasers, the Companies or any of the Companies’ Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of the foregoing for any
period ending after the Closing Date, including the portion of the Straddle Period that is after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Purchasers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, that
the elimination, reduction, limitation or other change of any nature to any net operating loss, non-capital loss, capital loss, Tax credit, Tax basis or other Tax attribute of any of the Companies or the Companies’ Subsidiaries shall not be
considered as adversely affecting the Tax liability of the Purchasers, the Companies or any of the Companies’ Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of the foregoing. The Sellers shall keep the Purchasers fully and timely informed with respect to the
commencement, status and nature of any Tax Claim. 
 (d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.2(c) above, or
if Seller does not elect to control a proceeding pursuant to Section 7.2(c) above, the Purchasers shall have the right to control any audit or examination by any tax authority, initiate any claim for refund, amend any Tax Return, and
contest, resolve and defend against any assessment for additional Taxes, notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of or relating to, the income, assets or operations of the Companies and the Companies Subsidiaries for all taxable
periods; provided, however, the Purchasers shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates (including the Companies and the Companies’ Subsidiaries) not to, enter into any settlement of any contest or otherwise compromise any issue
with respect to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date that could increase the Tax liability of the Sellers without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. 
 7.3 Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the
Companies and/or their Subsidiaries shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, neither the Companies nor any of their Subsidiaries shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder. 

7.4 Post-Closing Actions. 
 (a) Unless as otherwise required by applicable law, the Purchasers, the Companies, the Companies’ Subsidiaries and each of their Affiliates shall not take any position with respect to Taxes of any of
the Companies or the Companies’ Subsidiaries that reasonably could be expected to adversely affect the Tax liability of any of the Companies or the Companies’ Subsidiaries in a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date unless
the Sellers have consented in writing to such action, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 (b) The
Purchasers in their sole discretion shall determine whether to make an election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to any of the Companies and the transactions contemplated under this Agreement. The Sellers shall cooperate in good faith
to assist the Purchasers in determining whether to make an election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to any of the Companies and the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including, upon request from the Purchasers, promptly
providing any relevant information to the Purchasers, including the Sellers’ tax bases in the stock of the Companies, the fair market value of the Companies’ assets and the Companies’ tax bases in their assets. In the event that the
Purchasers desire to make an election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to any of the Companies and the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, to the extent required by Law, the Purchasers and the Sellers shall jointly file,
or permit to be jointly filed, any such elections under Section 338 of the Code; provided, however, that if the Taxes imposed on the Sellers after the making of a Section 338 election exceed the Taxes that would have been
imposed on the Sellers if no such Section 338 election had been made, the Purchasers will reimburse each Seller the dollar amount by which the Taxes imposed on that Seller after the making of an effective Section 338 election exceeds the
Taxes that would have been imposed on that Seller if no such Section 338 election had been made. At the Sellers’ request, at Closing the Purchasers shall sign any elections under Section 338 of the Code contemplated by this
Section 7.4(d) as prepared by the Sellers. 

  
 68 









 7.5 Tax Refunds. The Sellers shall be entitled to any Tax refund or amounts credited
against any Tax of the Companies and/or their Subsidiaries, in each case, that do not relate to deductions or credits arising with respect to amounts funded by the Purchasers, for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. The Purchasers shall forward to the
Sellers the benefit of any such Tax refund or credit, net of reasonable fees or expenses incurred by the Purchasers or the Companies or any of the Companies’ Subsidiaries in obtaining such refund or credit, within ten (10) days after the
Tax refund is received, either pursuant to a cash payment or through the reduction of a Tax liability. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 7.5 to the contrary, the Purchasers shall not be obligated to pay any refund or other
amount under this Section 7.5 to the extent that any such refund or credit is the result of the carrying back of any net operating loss or other Tax attribute or Tax credit incurred in a taxable period beginning on or after the Closing
Date (including the portion of any Straddle Period beginning on or after the Closing Date). To the extent a refund or credit against Taxes that gave rise to a payment hereunder is subsequently disallowed or otherwise reduced, the Sellers shall pay
to the Purchasers the amount of such disallowed or reduced refund or credit against Taxes. 
 7.6 Reserved. 

7.7 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any
penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement, shall be borne solely by the Sellers, and the Sellers shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp,
registration and other Taxes and fees.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 TERMINATION 
 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at
any time prior to the Closing as follows: 
 (a) by mutual written consent of Parent, the Sellers’ Representative and the
Purchasers; 
 (b) by Parent, the Sellers or the Purchasers on or after September 30, 2013 (the “Outside
Date”) if the Closing shall not have occurred by the close of business on such date; provided, however, that such date may be extended by the mutual agreement of the Purchasers and the Sellers; provided, further,
that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available (i) to Parent or the Sellers if Parent or either Seller has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements herein
and such breach has not been cured on or prior to the Outside Date and results in the failure of a condition in Section 6.1 or 6.2 to be satisfied by the Outside Date, or (ii) to the Purchasers if either Purchaser has
breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements herein and such breach has not been cured on or prior to the Outside Date and results in the failure of a condition in Section 6.1 or 6.3 to be satisfied by
the Outside Date; 
 (c) by Parent, the Sellers or the Purchasers if there shall be in effect a final nonappealable
Governmental Order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; 

(d) by Parent, the Sellers or the Purchasers if the Parent Meeting (including any adjournments or postponements thereof) shall have
concluded and the Parent Stockholder Approval contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been obtained; 
 (e) by Parent and
the Sellers, to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 5.14(d); 
 (f) by the Purchasers, prior to the Parent Stockholder Approval, if Parent has failed to make the Recommendation in the Proxy Statement or the Special Committee or the Board of Directors of Parent has

 (g) by Parent and the Sellers, if the Special Committee or the Board of Directors of
Parent has effected a Change of Recommendation pursuant to Section 5.14(d); and

Purchasers in writing that Parent and the Sellers are prepared to consummate the Closing and the Purchasers fail to consummate the Closing on the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.1. 

  
 70 









 8.2 Effect of Termination and Abandonment. In the event of termination of this
Agreement pursuant to this Article VIII, this Agreement (other than the provisions set forth in the first sentence of Section 5.4(a), Section 5.8, Section 8.2, Article VIII and Article X)
shall become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of any Party (or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives); provided, however, that (a) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for any
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement prior to the date of termination and (b) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from any liability for damages resulting from any willful or intentional breach of
this Agreement. 
 8.3 Termination Fees. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (i) Section 8.1(d) or (ii) Section 8.1(b) and prior to
such time Parent or either Seller shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements herein which breach remains uncured and results in the failure of a condition in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 to be satisfied,
then in either case, the Sellers jointly and severally shall reimburse the Purchasers an amount equal to the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by each of the Purchasers and any of their Affiliates on their behalf (including, reasonable attorney
and accountant fees and expenses) up to a maximum aggregate amount of 1% of the Purchase Price in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within two (2) business days after presentment by the Purchasers of supporting
documentation in reasonable detail (any such payment, “Expenses”). In the event that any Expenses are paid to the Purchasers pursuant to this Section 8.3(a), such payment of Expenses shall reduce the amount of any
Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 8.3(b) on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of such Expenses. 

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 8.3(a), if: 

(i) (A) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (I) Section 8.1(d) or (II) Section 8.1(b)
and prior to such time Parent or the Sellers shall have breached any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements herein which breach remains uncured and results in the failure of a condition in Sections 6.1 or
6.2 to be satisfied; (B) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(b) (under circumstances described in the
preceding clause (A)(II)), any bona fide Alternative Transaction (substituting fifty percent (50%) for the twenty-five percent (25%) thresholds set forth in the definition of “Alternative Transaction”) or any bona fide
Acquisition Proposal for the purchase of all or substantially all the Equity Interests or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Companies (a “Qualifying Transaction”) shall have been publicly announced and not
withdrawn or otherwise abandoned; and (C) within three months following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to 

  
 71 









 
Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(b) (under circumstances described in the preceding clause (A)(II)), either the Qualifying Transaction referenced in the immediately preceding
clause (B) is consummated or Parent enters into a definitive agreement providing for the Qualifying Transaction referenced in the immediately preceding clause (B) and, whether or not during such three-month period, such Qualifying
Transaction is subsequently consummated; or 
 (ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent and the Sellers
pursuant to Section 8.1(e) or Section 8.1(g), or by the Purchasers pursuant to Section 8.1(f), 
 then, in
the case of the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, the Sellers shall pay to the Purchasers a fee equal to $3,870,000 (the “Termination Fee”), such payment to be made, in the case of a termination referenced in clause
(i) above, upon consummation of the Qualifying Transaction, or in the case of clause (ii) above, concurrently with the termination by the Sellers pursuant to Section 8.1(e) or Section 8.1(g) or within two
(2) business days after termination by the Purchasers pursuant to Section 8.1(f). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Parent or the Sellers be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Any such payment
shall be net of any amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any provision of U.S. state or local tax Law. 
 (c) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the Termination Fee is
not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Purchasers for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the Termination Fee is required to be paid as a
result of a termination of this Agreement, the Purchasers’ right to receive payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates, if applicable
for (A) the loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Closing to be consummated and (B) any other losses, damages, obligations or liabilities suffered as a result of or under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, and upon payment of the Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 8.3, none of Parent, the Sellers or any of their respective stockholders, directors, officers or agents, as the case may be, shall have any further
liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

8.4 Purchaser Termination Payment. 
 (a) In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to: (i) Section 8.1(h); (ii) Section 8.1(b) and at the time of such termination this Agreement is
terminable pursuant to Section 8.1(h); or (iii) Section 8.1(b) and prior to such time either Purchaser shall have breached any of their respective representations,


  
 72 









 
warranties, covenants or agreements herein which breach remains uncured and results in the failure of a condition in Sections 6.1 or 6.3 to be satisfied; then, in any such case, the
Purchasers shall pay to Parent US$ 25,000,000 (the “Purchaser Termination Payment”) as liquidated damages, and not as penalty, by wire transfer in immediately available funds within five (5) business days of the earlier to
occur of such events. Purchasers hereby expressly waive and relinquish any right which it may have to seek to characterize said Purchaser Termination Payment and liquidated damages as a penalty, and the parties hereto agree that such amount is a
reasonable, fair and equitable payment of compensation in light of the complex commercial nature of this Agreement and the inability to estimate the extraordinary harm that will occur to Parent if the Purchase Agreement is not consummated. In
arriving at this agreement regarding the liquidated damages amount, the parties hereto acknowledge that: (i) there is relative equality in the bargaining power of the parties, (ii) the parties are each represented by and have consulted
with counsel regarding this issue, (iii) the parties anticipate that proof of actual damages for any of the breaches would be costly and inconvenient, (iv) there may be difficulty or burdens of proving causation or foreseeability, and
(v) this Agreement regarding the liquidated damages amount is entered into freely and without duress. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in any circumstance in which the Parent terminates the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4(a) and receives the Purchaser Termination Payment, Parent’s termination of
this Agreement and right to receive payment of the Purchaser Termination Payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Sellers or any of its or their respective Affiliates, against Purchasers and (a) any direct or indirect holder
of any equity interests or securities of Purchasers (whether such holder is a limited or general partner, member, stockholder or otherwise), (b) Affiliate of Purchasers, or (c) director, officer, employee, manager, representative, or agent
of Purchasers, any of the foregoing persons’ or entities’ respective Affiliates or any direct or indirect holder of any equity interests or securities of any such person or entity (collectively, the “Purchaser Party
Affiliates”) under the Transaction Documents for any and all Losses that may be suffered as a result of, based upon or arise out of any breach of or failure to perform or comply with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in
the Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and upon receipt of the Purchaser Termination Payment pursuant to Section 8.4(a) above, none of the Purchaser Party Affiliates shall have any further liability
or obligation relating to or arising out of the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.4 shall limit any remedies of Parent and Sellers prior
to a termination as set forth in Section 8.4(a) above, including specific performance under Section 10.9(a); provided that if Parent or the Sellers are granted an order of specific performance by a court listed in
Section 10.9(a) which order compels Purchasers to consummate the Closing (and the Closing is actually consummated), then Parent shall not also be entitled to receive the Purchaser Termination Payment pursuant to this
Section 8.4.

 ARTICLE IX 
 INDEMNIFICATION 
 9.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and
Covenants. The representations and warranties of the Parties made herein shall survive the Closing for a period of fourteen (14) months, and thereafter shall terminate; provided, however, that a claim for indemnification for
breach thereof shall survive such period only to the extent that a claim was properly made in accordance with this Article IX before the expiration of such period. All covenants and agreements that by their terms apply or are to be performed in
whole or in part after the Closing will survive for the period provided in such covenants and agreements, if any, up to the date that is fourteen (14) months after the Closing, and thereafter shall terminate; provided, however,
that a claim for indemnification for breach thereof shall survive such period only to the extent that a claim was properly made in accordance with this Article IX before the expiration of such period. All covenants and agreements that by their terms
apply or are to be performed in their entirety on or prior to the Closing shall not survive the Closing, except to the extent such covenant or agreement shall not be performed in its entirety in all respects in accordance with its terms as of the
Closing in which event such covenant or agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of fourteen (14) months, and thereafter shall terminate. Except as expressly provided in this Section 9.1, no claim for indemnification
hereunder may be made after the expiration of the applicable survival date set forth in this Section 9.1; provided, however, that any indemnity claim (but solely such claim) described in a Claim Certificate received by the
Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the applicable time limitations set forth in this Section 9.1 shall survive until the claim is fully resolved. 
 9.2 Indemnification. 
 (a) From and after the Closing, Parent hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Purchasers, its Affiliates, the Companies and its and their respective employees, stockholders, members, directors and officers (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless
from, against and in respect of, any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) or costs (“Losses”) (subject to the limitations set forth herein, including in
Section 9.5, “Indemnified Losses”), incurred or suffered by them to the extent resulting from or, arising out of or based upon: 
 (i) any breach of any of the representations or warranties made by such Seller contained in this Agreement; 
 (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by such Seller; 

(iii) any Pre-Closing Taxes; 
 (iv) any ETA Liability; 

  
 74 









 (v) the consummation of any of the Restructuring Transactions, other than any Pre-Closing
Taxes resulting therefrom; and 
 (vi) obligations of PTCI assigned to the Parent pursuant to the Specified Assumption
Agreement. 
 (b) From and after the Closing Date, each Purchaser hereby agrees, jointly and severally with the other Purchaser,
to indemnify and hold each Seller and its Affiliates and their respective employees, stockholders, members, directors, and officers (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from, against and in respect of any and
all Indemnified Losses incurred or suffered by them to the extent resulting from, arising out of or based upon: 
 (i) any
breach of any of the representations or warranties made by such Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and 
 (ii) any breach
or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by such Purchaser. 

(c) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5: 

(i) all amounts payable by Parent to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) with respect to
breaches of any Seller Fundamental Representations shall be paid solely as follows: 
 (A) first, any such
amounts shall be paid by means of collection of the Indemnity Escrow Amount in the Indemnity Escrow Account from the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and 

(B) second and finally, any such amounts that remain unpaid after all of the Indemnity Escrow Amount in the Indemnity
Escrow Account has been collected by Indemnified Parties or disbursed to the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement shall be paid by Parent; and 

(ii) all amounts payable by Parent to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(iv) shall be paid solely
as follows: 
 (A) first, any such amounts shall be paid by means of collection of the ETA Escrow Amount in the
ETA Escrow Account from the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; 
 (B) second, any
such amounts that remain unpaid after all of the ETA Escrow Amount in the ETA Escrow Account has been collected by Indemnified Parties pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement shall be paid by means of collection of the
Indemnity Escrow Amount in the Indemnity Escrow Account from the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and 
 (C) third and finally, any such amounts that remain unpaid after all of the Indemnity Escrow Amount in the Indemnity Escrow Account has been collected by Indemnified Parties or disbursed to the
Sellers’ Representative pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement shall be paid by Parent. 

  
 75 









 9.3 Claims Procedure; Participation in Litigation. 

(a) Procedure for Claims. For purposes hereof, a party claiming a right to indemnification shall be referred to as the
“Indemnified Party” and any or all parties against whom such indemnification claim is made shall be referred to as an “Indemnifying Party.” An Indemnified Party intending to assert a claim for indemnification under
Section 9.2 (other than a Third-Party Claim covered by Section 9.3(c) below) shall deliver to each Indemnifying Party a certificate (a “Claim Certificate”) signed by any officer of the Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that any failure by such Indemnified Party to provide such Claim Certificate promptly will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations hereunder unless and then only to the extent the
Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. The Claim Certificate shall: (A) state that an Indemnified Party has paid, sustained or incurred Indemnified Losses, (B) specify in reasonable detail the facts pertinent to such claim(s),
the individual items of Indemnified Losses included in the claim and the method of computation thereof, in each case to the extent reasonably available, and (C) demand payment for the Indemnified Losses if and when incurred (if not already
incurred). In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall object to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims, or any part thereof, specified in any Claim Certificate, the Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty
(30) business days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Certificate, deliver to the Indemnified Party notice to such effect, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection (a “Claim Response
Certificate”). Payment for Indemnified Losses shall be made in the manner provided in Section 9.6. 
 (b)
If an Indemnifying Party in a Claim Response Certificate contests the payment of all or part of any claim set forth in a corresponding Claim Certificate or responsibility therefor, then such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use
good faith efforts to resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 9.3(d) below. 
 (c) Procedure for
Third-Party Claims. 
 (iii) All claims for indemnification made under Section 9.2 resulting from, related to
or arising out of a third-party claim, demand, action or proceeding against an Indemnified Party shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third-party claim which such Indemnified
Party reasonably believes may result in any Indemnified Losses (without giving effect to the limitations in Section 9.5) (a “Third-Party Claim”), such 

  
 76 









 
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim by delivery of an Claim Certificate to such Indemnifying Party. Any delay or failure in so notifying the Indemnifying
Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of obligations under Article IX except to the extent, if at all, that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the
right to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or
may no longer continue to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, to the extent that (A) the Third-Party Claim seeks non-monetary relief, (B) the Third-Party Claim involves criminal or quasi criminal allegations, or (C) the
Indemnifying Party failed or is failing after reasonable written notice and an opportunity to cure to diligently and reasonably prosecute or defend the Third-Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a
Third-Party Claim pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, and may retain separate co-counsel of its choice at its sole cost
and expense. If the Indemnifying Party is entitled to and elects to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, it shall, within thirty (30) days of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the Claim Certificate with respect to such Third-Party
Claim, notify the Indemnified Party of its election to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.3, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed) of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment with respect thereto unless such settlement, compromise or judgment contains an unqualified written release of the
Indemnified Party and all other Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, from all Liability in respect of the Third-Party Claim. 
 (iv) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the cost and expense of counsel shall
be Indemnified Losses to the extent the Third-Party Claim is an Indemnified Loss and such Indemnified Party may be entitled to withdraw such related costs and expenses from and reduce the Indemnity Escrow Amount. The parties (other than the
Indemnifying Party) controlling the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall (i) permit the other party (the “Non-Controlling Party”) to participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Third-Party Claim,
(ii) conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim with reasonable diligence and keep the Non-Controlling Party reasonably informed of material developments in such Third-Party Claim, (iii) promptly submit to the Non-Controlling Party
copies of all pleadings, responsive pleadings, motions and other similar legal documents and papers received or filed in connection therewith, (iv) permit the Non-Controlling Party and its counsel to confer on the conduct of the defense thereof
and (v) permit the Non-Controlling Party and its counsel an opportunity to review all legal papers to be submitted prior to their submission and consider in good faith any comments from the Non-Controlling Party and its counsel thereto to the
extent practicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.3, the Indemnified Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or


  
 77 









 
compromise any Third-Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment with respect thereto (other than with respect to Third-Party Claims for Taxes), and in any such event only
if (x) the settlement is for an amount less than the claim amount of the Third-Party Claim set forth in the Claim Certificate, and (y) such settlement, compromise or judgment contains an unqualified written release of the Indemnifying
Party and all other Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, from all Liability in respect of the Third-Party Claim. No settlement of any Third-Party Claim with any third party claimant shall be determinative of
the existence of or amount of Indemnified Losses relating to such matter, except with the consent of the Indemnifying Party. 

(v) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with one another and with counsel in the
investigation, trial and defense of any Third-Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be
reasonably requested in connection therewith at the sole cost and expense of the party so participating. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the other party and its agents and representatives to, and
reasonable retention by any party of, records and information which have been identified by the other party as being reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient and reasonable basis to
provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. 
 (d) Resolution of Non-Third-Party
Claims. In case the Indemnifying Party shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Claim Certificate with respect to a non-Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to
agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims within twenty (20) business days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of the Claim Response Certificate applicable thereto. If the Indemnifying
Party and Indemnified Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, in the case of a claim against the Indemnity Escrow Account if the Indemnity Escrow Amount remains outstanding,
shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Indemnity Escrow Account in accordance with the terms thereof as equivalent to a joint written instruction. If
the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are unable to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts within such time period, then the Indemnified Party shall be permitted to submit such dispute to a court of competent
jurisdiction as set forth in Section 10.9. 
 9.4 Purchase Price Adjustment. With respect to any
indemnity payment under this Agreement, the Parties agree to treat, to the extent permitted by Law, all such payments as an adjustment to the Purchase Price paid hereunder. 

  
 78 









 9.5 Limitations. 

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article IX other than Section 9.7, neither Parent nor the Sellers nor the
Purchasers shall have any indemnification obligations for Losses under Section 9.2 unrelated to any Tax matter unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $500,000 (the “Basket”), at which point the
Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for the entire amount of any such Loss. In no event shall the aggregate indemnification to be paid by (i) Parent or Sellers under Section 9.2(a) exceed an
amount equal to the sum of (x) $12,900,000 (inclusive of amounts paid into the Indemnity Escrow Account) and (y) any amounts actually paid by Parent or the Sellers to the Purchasers out of the ETA Escrow Account and the Adjustment Escrow

provided, further, that in no event shall the aggregate indemnification to be paid by (A) Parent and/or Sellers under Section 9.2(a)(i) with respect to breaches of the Seller Fundamental Representations or with respect
to fraud exceed the Purchase Price, or (B) the Purchasers under Section 9.2(b)(i) with respect to breaches of the Purchaser Fundamental Representations or with respect to fraud exceed the Purchase Price. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement with respect to any Losses to the extent that such Losses (A) are Liabilities set forth on the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement (up to the amount set forth thereon therefor), (B) are Liabilities set forth on
any Schedule (except with respect to any matter disclosed on any Schedule, any Losses for which a Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(iii)), (C) arise solely out of changes after the
date of this Agreement in applicable Law or interpretations or applications thereof by a Governmental Authority, or (D) are attributable to Taxes attributable to post-Closing taxable periods (or portions thereof) (other than Taxes attributable

constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. 
 (c) The amount of any Indemnified
Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be net of any amounts actually recovered and received by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies, indemnification agreements or otherwise with respect to such

to any Losses to the extent such Losses arise to any material respect out of any action or knowing inaction of such party. No Indemnified Party shall have any right to assert any claim against any Indemnifying Party with respect to any Loss, cause
of action or other claim to the extent such Loss is a Loss, cause of action or claim with respect to which such Indemnified party or any of its 

  
 79 









 
Affiliates has taken action (or caused action to be taken) with the primary intent of accelerating the time period in which such matter is asserted or payable in order to cause a claim to be made
prior to the applicable date of expiration survival set forth in Section 9.1. 
 (d) If an Indemnifying Party pays
an amount to an Indemnified Party pursuant to a claim for indemnification under Section 9.2 and such Indemnified Party actually received or realized in connection therewith, during the three taxable years following the Closing Date, any
refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its Tax liabilities in or prior to the taxable year in which the indemnification amount is paid (an “Indemnification Tax Benefit”), such Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying
Party an amount that is equal to the Indemnification Tax Benefit; provided, however, that (A) any Taxes that are imposed on such Indemnified Party as a result of a disallowance or reduction of any Indemnification Tax Benefit
actually paid to the Indemnifying Party shall be treated as a Tax for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof; and (B) nothing in this Section 9.5(d)
shall require the Indemnified Party to disclose any confidential information to the Indemnifying Party (including its Tax Returns). 
 (e) The Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses.

 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no party shall, in any event, be liable to any
other Person for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages of such other Person (including loss of future revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach
or alleged breach hereof), other than consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages (including loss of future revenue, income or profits, diminution in value or losses or business reputation or opportunity), in each case, that a
third party recovers pursuant to any Third-Party Claim. 
 (g) Upon payment in full of any indemnification claim pursuant to
Section 9.3, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any Person with respect to the subject matter of such claim. The Indemnified Parties shall permit the
Indemnifying Party to use the name of such Indemnified Parties in any transaction or in any action or proceeding or other matter involving any of such rights, and the Indemnified Parties shall assign or otherwise reasonably cooperate with the
Indemnifying Parties, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Parties, to pursue any claims against, or otherwise recover amounts from, any Person liable or responsible for any Losses for which indemnification has been received pursuant to this
Agreement. If any indemnification payment is received by any Indemnified Party from an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 9.3, and such Indemnified Party later receives a payment from another Person in respect of the related Losses,
such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to such Indemnifying Party or its designee an amount equal to the amount of such payment received from such other Person to the extent such payment would result in a collection of aggregate amounts for such
Indemnified Loss greater than the amount thereof. 

  
 80 









 9.6 Payments; Release of Escrow Funds. 

(a) On each occasion that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall agree that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
indemnification under this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall, at each such time, pay the amount of such indemnification in immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the party entitled to indemnification
hereunder within ten (10) business days after the determination thereof, and in such case subject to the Cap and as provided in this Section 9.6(a). On each instance in which the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall
agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to payment in respect of an Indemnified Loss from the Indemnity Escrow Account as provided herein, the Purchasers and the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver prompt joint written instructions to
the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release payment therefor.

indemnification pursuant to a Claim Certificate in accordance with this Article IX shall be released to Sellers’ Representative. 
 (c) Subject to any other limitations set forth herein, on the date that is the earlier of (i) receipt by PTCI of a positive ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency that an “internet service
provider” providing “internet services” for primarily resale is not subject to the recapture requirements under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and (ii) thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of
limitations related thereto, any portion of the ETA Escrow Amount remaining in the ETA Escrow Account that is not subject to a then pending and properly asserted claim for indemnification pursuant to a Claim Certificate in accordance with this
Article IX shall be released to Sellers’ Representative. 
 (d) Subject to any other limitations set forth herein,
on the date on which (i) the Purchasers and Sellers’ Representative agree, or are deemed to have agreed to, or the Neutral Arbitrator delivers, the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement and (ii) all payments to be made pursuant to
Section 2.3(d) have been made in full, any portion of the Adjustment Escrow Amount remaining in the Adjustment Escrow Account shall be released to Sellers’ Representative. 

(e) If the Second Closing does not occur prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing and the Sellers and the Purchasers
have not otherwise agreed in writing to work toward a Second Closing and notified the Escrow Agent in writing of the same, then the Escrow Agent shall release the Second Closing Escrow Amount to the Purchasers. 

  
 81 









 9.7 Exclusive Remedies. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary
and except as expressly set forth in this Article IX (including Section 9.2(c)), the indemnification rights set forth in this Article IX all of which are subject to the terms, limitations, and restrictions of this
Article IX, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy after Closing (other than as set forth in Section 2.3(d)) for any and all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement, including claims based on any breach of a
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement, and no Person will have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, it being agreed that all of such other remedies, entitlements and
recourse are expressly waived and released by the Parties to the fullest extent permitted by Law; provided, however, that the Cap will not apply to Losses arising from or relating to (a) fraud, (b) any breach of a Seller
Fundamental Representation, or (c) any breach of a Purchaser Fundamental Representation. The provisions of this Section 9.7 and the limited remedies provided in Section 2.3(d), Article IX, Section 8.3,
Section 8.4 and Section 10.9 were specifically bargained for by the Parties and were taken into account by the Parties in arriving at the Purchase Price and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Parties have specifically
relied upon the provisions of this Section 9.7 and the limited remedies provided in Section 2.3(d), Article IX, Section 8.3, Section 8.4 and Section 10.9 in agreeing to the Purchase Price and the

“if”. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. The term “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning as the word “shall”. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have such defined meanings when used in
the Disclosure Schedule, the Limited Guarantee, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Transition Services Agreement, the Commercial Agreements or any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant thereto unless otherwise defined therein. The
definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Unless


  
 91 









 
otherwise indicated, references to “dollars” or “$” shall mean United States dollars. For purposes of this Agreement, wherever the US dollar equivalent of an amount
denominated in another currency is required to be determined, the applicable rate of exchange shall be the most reasonably available favorable spot exchange rate to be available at the relevant time by the Person paying, disbursing or calculating
such amounts. 
 10.3 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any
provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. 
 10.4 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, including all exhibits hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, the Limited Guarantee, the other Transaction Documents and the
Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede any and all other prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between or among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and do not, and
are not intended to, confer upon any Person (other than the Purchaser, the Sellers and the Indemnified Individuals) any rights or remedies hereunder. 
 10.5 Amendment; Waiver. Subject to Section 10.6(b), any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the
case of an amendment, by Parent, the Sellers and the Purchasers, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, however, that after receipt of the Parent Stockholder Approval, if any such
amendment or wavier shall by applicable Law or in accordance with the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange require further approval of the stockholders of Parent, the effectiveness of such amendment or waiver shall be subject to the
approval of the stockholders of Parent. Any Party may, subject to applicable Law, (a) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other Party, (b) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or
acts of any other Party or (c) waive compliance by any other Party with any of the agreements contained herein or, except as otherwise provided herein, waive any of such Party’s conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or
delay by Parent, the Sellers or the Purchasers in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. 

10.6 Assignment; Binding Effect. 
 (a) Subject to Section 10(b), neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that each of the Purchasers may, without the prior written consent of the Sellers (i) assign any or all of its rights (but not its obligations)
hereunder 

  
 92 









 
to one or more of its Affiliates or any future owner of the Business (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise) and (ii) collaterally assign its rights
under this Agreement to any Person which provides financing to such Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, further, that any such assignment shall not relieve such Purchaser of any obligations under this Agreement, and such
Purchaser shall remain liable, jointly and severally, with any such assignee for all obligations under this Agreement; provided, further, that the Sellers may assign, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, any or all
of its rights and obligations hereunder (except for any such rights or obligations under Sections 5.4) to the Parent, and any such assignment shall relieve the Sellers of all of their respective obligations under this Agreement, with the
Parent to remain liable for all such obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.6(a), each of Parent and each of the Sellers agrees (i) and
consents to the assignment by way of security by any Purchaser of all of its rights and benefits under this Agreement to Bank of Montreal as administrative agent for a group of lenders (the “Agent”) or Manulife (in its capacity as a
Lender), (ii) and consents to the assignment by the Agent to one or more third parties upon exercise by Agent or Manulife of its rights and remedies in respect of the security granted to it by such Purchaser by its assignment of this Agreement,
and (iii) that notwithstanding that neither the Agent nor Manulife are a party to this Agreement, each of Agent and Manulife shall have all contractual rights with respect to this Section 10.6(b) as if it was a contracting signatory
hereto and that no amendments shall be made to this Section 10.6(b) without obtaining the prior written consent of the Agent and Manulife. 
 10.7 Disclosure Schedule. The Disclosure Schedule shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. 

10.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. 
 10.9 Enforcement; Jurisdiction. 

(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. It is accordingly agreed that, except where this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (and any other agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith) exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any
state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware 

  
 93 









 
(or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), and this right shall include the right
of the Sellers to cause the Purchasers to (and, as applicable, to cause the Purchasers to cause Purchasers’ Affiliates to) seek to enforce the terms of the Financing Commitments (and any definitive agreements related thereto) against the
Lenders, Sponsor and any other applicable party to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to such Financing Commitments (or any definitive agreements related thereto) and applicable Laws and to thereafter cause the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement to be consummated, in each case, if the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions which by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but
subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at the Closing). Subject to Section 8.4, the Parties further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.9(a), a Party shall not in any
respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement, including monetary damages in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this
Section 10.9(a) are not available or otherwise are not granted and (ii) nothing contained in this Section 10.9(a) shall require any Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any
proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 10.9(a) before exercising any termination right under Section 8.1 (and pursuing any other remedies under this Agreement after such termination) nor shall the
commencement of any action or proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.9(a) or anything contained in this Section 10.9(a) restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of
Section 8.1 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on
the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement
and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is explicitly agreed that the Sellers shall be entitled to seek
specific performance of Purchasers’ obligation to cause the equity financing under the Equity Commitment Letter to be funded and to effect the Closing in accordance with Article II, if and only if (A) all conditions as set forth in
Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions which by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at the Closing) at
the time when the Closing would have occurred but for the failure of the funding of the equity financing under the Equity Commitment Letter, (B) the debt financing under the Manulife Commitment Letter and Senior Debt Commitment Letter has been
funded or will be funded at the Closing on the terms set forth in the Manulife Commitment Letter and Senior Debt Commitment Letter and (C) the Sellers and Parent have irrevocably confirmed in writing to Purchasers that if specific performance
is granted and the Financing is funded, then the Closing pursuant to Article II will occur. 

  
 94 









 (c) Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other Parties or its
successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a
particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the
personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid
courts. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law), and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 10.9, (ii) any claim that it or its
property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment
or otherwise) and (iii) any claim that (A) the action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such action or proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof,
may not be enforced in or by such court. Each of the Parties agrees that notice or the service of process in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be properly served or delivered if delivered in the manner
contemplated by Section 10.1. 
 (d) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY
WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
FURTHER, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY OR PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY THIS SECTION 10.9(c). 

10.10 Construction. The headings of Articles and Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect
its construction or interpretation. The language used in this Agreement is the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party.

 10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts
(including by facsimile or electronic transmission), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been
signed by each of the Parties and delivered (by facsimile, electronic transmission or otherwise) to the other Parties. 

10.12 Determinations by Parent or the Sellers. Whenever a determination, decision or approval by Parent or the Sellers or
their respective boards of directors is referred to or called for in this Agreement, such determination, decision or approval must be authorized by the Special Committee or, if the Special Committee is not then in existence, the board of directors
of Parent.
