Section 2.4Procedures for the Transfer of Transferred Assets
.  The Seller and the Purchaser shall effect on the Closing Date the transfer, assignment or contribution of the Transferred Assets and the assumption and assignment or contribution of the Assumed Liabilities from the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to the SPV (or, in the case of the Purchaser-Owned IP, the Purchaser) pursuant to the Local Conveyance Documents and the Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement.
Section 2.5Shared Contracts; Assignment of Contracts and Rights; Post-Signing Insurance Proceeds.
(a)Each Shared Contract shall be assigned, transferred, and conveyed or contributed only with respect to (and preserving the meaning of) those parts that primarily relate to the Business or appropriately amended prior to, on or after the Closing, so that the Purchaser shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of those parts of the Shared Contract that primarily relate to the Business and shall assume only the portion of any Liabilities thereunder that constitute Assumed Liabilities.
(b)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Contract at the Closing that otherwise would be a Transferred Contract or a Transferred IP Agreement or any right thereunder if an attempted assignment, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach of such 
-32-

Contract or adversely affect the rights of the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries thereunder or be ineffective with respect to any party thereto.  The Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Contract in connection with the transfer of such Contract or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to the Purchaser.  If, on the Closing Date, any such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted transfer or assignment thereof would be ineffective or a violation of applicable Law so that the Purchaser would not in fact receive all such rights (or, in the case of a Shared Contract, all of the rights thereunder primarily related to the Business), the Seller will cooperate in an arrangement reasonably agreed upon by the parties under which the Purchaser or its designated Subsidiary would, in compliance with applicable Law, obtain all of the benefits (or, in the case of a Shared Contract, all of the rights thereunder primarily related to the Business) and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with such Contract, claim, right or benefit that constitute Assumed Liabilities, including by the Seller subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the Purchaser, or under which the Seller would enforce, for the benefit of the Purchaser, and at the expense of the Purchaser, any and all of its and its Subsidiaries’ rights against a third party thereto (including any Governmental Authority) associated with such Contract, claim, right or benefit (collectively, “Third-Party Rights”), and the Seller would promptly pay to the Purchaser when received all monies received by it or its Subsidiaries under any such Contract or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder.  Promptly upon obtaining the requisite third-party consent thereto, such Contract or right, if otherwise includable in the Transferred Assets, shall promptly be transferred and assigned to the Purchaser or its designee hereunder for no additional consideration.  The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall in no way impose upon the Seller any obligation to incur out-of-pocket expenses in connection with obtaining consents unless the Purchaser agrees to reimburse the Seller for such expenses to the Seller.  Following the Closing Date and prior to the date that a Contract is assigned to the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 2.5(b), the Purchaser shall not have any Liability under such Contract (including due to the breach thereof by the Seller).
(c)From and after the Closing, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise all rights under any insurance policies of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (including all rights to assert claims) arising out of or relating to any damage or destruction to, or loss of, any Transferred Asset, to the extent such damage or destruction remained unrepaired, in whole or in part, or any such asset had not been replaced, as of the Closing Date.
Section 2.6Allocation of Purchase Price.
(a)At or prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall determine the amount of, and deliver a written schedule to Seller which allocates the amount of, the Purchase Price attributable to the Purchaser-Owned IP.  Within 120 days after the Closing, the Seller shall determine and deliver to the Purchaser a written schedule (including as amended pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) or Section 2.6(b), the “Allocation Schedule”) that allocates the Purchase Price (together with any other amounts treated for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as paid for the Transferred Assets other than the Purchaser-Owned IP) among the Transferred Assets other than the Purchaser-Owned IP in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, as appropriate).  The Purchaser may dispute any amounts reflected on the Allocation Schedule by providing written notice to the Seller of the disputed items, and setting forth in reasonable detail 
-33-

the basis of such dispute, within 30 days following receipt of the Allocation Schedule.  If the Purchaser disputes any portion of the Allocation Schedule, the Seller and the Purchaser shall attempt to resolve any such dispute through good faith negotiations within 30 days following the Seller’s receipt of the Purchaser’s dispute notice, and shall amend the Allocation Schedule to reflect the resolution (if any) of such dispute.  The Seller and the Purchaser shall prepare and file all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule, except to the extent a dispute was unable to be resolved with respect thereto, and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return, audit, examination, claim, adjustment, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, unless required to do so by applicable Law. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Seller, the Seller’s Affiliates, the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s Affiliates from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation Schedule or the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Transferred Assets. The parties hereto will promptly inform one another of any challenge by any Governmental Authority to any allocation made in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, and the parties agree to consult and keep one another informed with respect to the status of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.
(b)To the extent that there is an adjustment to the Purchase Price (or any other amount treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as paid for the Transferred Assets) subsequent to the Closing Date, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to allocate such adjustment to the Transferred Assets to which it relates and shall amend the Allocation Schedule accordingly.
Section 2.7Closing.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Sale and Purchase and the Contribution and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities in connection with the Sale and Purchase and the Contribution shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP, 875 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022 at 10:00 a.m. New York time (a) on the later of (i) May 31, 2021, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VII on or before the fifth Business Day prior to such date (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at that time) or (ii) the fifth Business Day following the day on which all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at that time) are satisfied or waived; or (b) at such other place or at such other time or on such other date as the Seller and the Purchaser may mutually agree upon in writing (the day on which the Closing takes place, the “Closing Date”).
Section 2.8Closing Deliveries by the Seller.  At the Closing, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser or the Title Insurer, as the case may be:

(f)evidence that all monetary liens and encumbrances have been released or discharged in connection with the Owned Real Property.
Section 2.9Closing Deliveries by the Purchaser
.  At the Closing, the Purchaser and the SPV shall deliver to the Seller:
(a)the Closing Date Cash Payment by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account specified by the Seller in writing at least two Business Days prior to the Closing;
(b)the Preferred Equity (which shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of the SPV Operating Agreement);
(c)executed counterparts of (i) each Local Conveyance Document, (ii) the SPV Operating Agreement, and (iii) each other Transaction Document that is to be executed at the Closing and, in each case, to which the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including the SPV) is a party; and
(d)the certificate referenced in Section 7.1(a)(iii).
Section 2.10Preliminary Adjustment of Purchase Price.  The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date a written statement (the “Estimated Purchase Price Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Seller’s good faith calculation of the estimated Net Working Capital (the “Preliminary Net Working Capital”) prepared in accordance with the policies and procedures used in the preparation of the Baseline Net Working Capital as set forth on Section 1.100 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, together with reasonable supporting calculations.  The Estimated Purchase Price Statement shall also set forth the Seller’s good faith calculation of the Purchase Price payable as of the Closing Date, determined in accordance with this Section 2.10.  The Purchase Price shall be (a)   increased by 
-35-

the amount, if any, that the Preliminary Net Working Capital exceeds the Baseline Net Working Capital or (b) decreased by the amount, if any, that the Baseline Net Working Capital exceeds the Preliminary Net Working Capital.  The Estimated Purchase Price Statement shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by a senior financial officer of the Seller to the effect that the Preliminary Net Working Capital has been calculated in good faith in accordance with this Section 2.10.  To the extent that any foreign currency conversions are necessary in connection with the preparation of Preliminary Net Working Capital, such conversions shall be consistent with the method for conversion of foreign currency as used by the Seller in preparation of its audited financial statements using the applicable exchange rate as of the date immediately prior to the date of the Estimated Purchase Price Statement.
Section 2.11Final Net Working Capital; Adjustment of Purchase Price.
(a)Within 60 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a statement (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”) setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of Net Working Capital (the “Final Net Working Capital”) prepared in accordance with the policies and procedures used in the preparation of the Baseline Net Working Capital as set forth on Section 2.10 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.  The Post-Closing Adjustment shall also set forth the Purchaser’s calculation of the Purchase Price, determined in accordance with this Section 2.11.  The Post-Closing Adjustment shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by a senior financial officer of the Purchaser to the effect that the Post-Closing Adjustment has been prepared in good faith in accordance with this Section 2.11(a).  To the extent that any foreign currency conversions are necessary in connection with the preparation of the Final Net Working Capital, such conversions shall be consistent with the method for conversion of foreign currency as used by the Seller in the preparation of its audited financial statements using the applicable exchange rate as of the Closing Date.
(b)During the 45-day period following delivery of the Post-Closing Adjustment, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, the Purchaser shall provide reasonable access to the Seller to all workpapers and other books and records utilized by the Purchaser or its Representatives in the preparation of the Post-Closing Adjustment (in the case of accountant work papers of the outside independent accountant of the Purchaser, subject to the Seller entering into a customary confidentiality agreement with respect thereto), in each case, as reasonably requested by the Seller solely for the purpose of the Seller’s review of the Post-Closing Adjustment.
(c)If the Seller disagrees with the Purchaser’s calculation of Final Net Working Capital, the Seller shall, within 45 days after the Seller’s receipt of the Post-Closing Adjustment, deliver a written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) to the Purchaser disagreeing with such calculation.  The Dispute Notice will set forth the Seller’s objections, if any, to the Post-Closing Adjustment in reasonable detail, the Seller’s grounds for such disagreement and the Seller’s calculation of Final Net Working Capital.  The Dispute Notice shall specify those items deemed to be in dispute (the “Disputed Items”), and all other matters included in the Post-Closing Adjustment delivered by the Purchaser shall be deemed to be final and binding on the parties hereto.  The failure by the Seller to deliver to the Purchaser the Dispute Notice within such period shall be deemed to constitute the Seller’s acceptance of the Post-Closing Adjustment.  After timely delivery of the Dispute Notice by the Seller, the parties will use 
-36-

commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any Disputed Items, and any resolution by the Seller and the Purchaser of such Disputed Items in writing shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.
(d)If any Disputed Items cannot be resolved by the parties within 30 days after the Seller delivers the Dispute Notice to the Purchaser, such Disputed Items shall be referred to the Independent Accountant.  Unless otherwise agreed, not later than 30 days after the referral of any Disputed Items to the Independent Accountant, the Seller and the Purchaser shall concurrently submit written statements to the Independent Accountant (with a copy to the other party) setting forth their respective positions regarding the Disputed Items which remain in dispute.  The Seller and the Purchaser shall instruct the Independent Accountant to render its decision resolving the dispute within 30 days after submission of the written statements, and during such period, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Independent Accountant during normal business hours such employees, information, books and records as may be reasonably requested by the Independent Accountant to make its final determination (in the case of accountant work papers of the outside independent accountant of the Purchaser, subject to the Independent Accountant entering into a customary confidentiality agreement with respect thereto).  In resolving any Disputed Item, the Independent Accountant (i) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.11 and the definitions set forth in this Agreement; (ii) shall limit its review to the Disputed Items submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution and not otherwise investigate matters independently; and (iii) shall further limit its review of the Disputed Items solely to whether the Disputed Items have been prepared in accordance with this Section 2.11 and the definitions set forth in this Agreement or contain any mathematical or clerical error.  The determination of any Disputed Items cannot, however, be in excess of, or less than, the greatest or lowest value, respectively, claimed for any such item in the Post-Closing Adjustment or the Dispute Notice.  The Seller and the Purchaser agree that the resolution by the Independent Accountant of any Disputed Items shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.  All fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accountant hereunder shall be borne by the Seller and the Purchaser in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accountant, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Accountant.  The Seller and the Purchaser agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 2.11 for resolving disputes with respect to Final Net Working Capital and the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving such disputes; provided, however, that the parties hereto agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Accountant in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.
(e)If the Final Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.11 (i)  is less than the Preliminary Net Working Capital, then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of such shortfall, and the Seller shall pay such amount to the Purchaser, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price; or (ii)  is more than the Preliminary Net Working Capital, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such excess, and the Purchaser shall pay such amount to the Seller, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.  Any such payment pursuant to the preceding sentence will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account (or accounts) designated by the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case 
-37-

may be, on the later of (A) the third Business Day after acceptance or deemed acceptance by the Seller of the Post-Closing Adjustment (as contemplated by Section 2.11(c) above) or (B) the third Business Day following resolution of all Disputed Items (as contemplated by Section 2.11(c) or (d) above).  Any payment required pursuant to this Section 2.11(e) shall constitute a payment in respect of the Purchase Price.
(f)If the delivery deadline date for the Post-Closing Adjustment or the Dispute Notice is a day that is not a Business Day, the applicable delivery deadline date shall be the immediately following Business Day.
(g)Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Section 2.11 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, there is no general agreement among the parties to submit disputes under this Agreement to arbitration (other than disputes with respect to the Post-Closing Adjustment, which shall be resolved solely in accordance with this Section 2.11).
Section 2.12Withholding
.  The Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold such amounts as the Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax law, with respect to the making of any payment under this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Seller delivers valid documentation which both the Seller and the Purchaser reasonably agree completely obviates the need for such withholding (including, but not limited to, a duly executed IRS Form W-9 or certificate of nonforeign status pursuant to Section 2.8(d) with respect to withholding pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code, absent a change in Law), then the Purchaser shall not be entitled to deduct and withhold any corresponding amounts otherwise payable to the Seller hereunder.  The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Seller with written notice as soon as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware that any such deduction or withholding is required, and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts, to mitigate any such deduction or withholding.  To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Purchaser and remitted to the proper Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person otherwise entitled to such payment hereunder.

The Transferred Intellectual Property, the In-Licensed Intellectual Property and the Intellectual Property licensed to the Purchaser under Section 5.5 constitute all of the Intellectual Property used or held for use in connection with the operation of the Business, and there is no other Intellectual Property that is used by, material to, or necessary for, the operation of the Business or for the continued operation of the Business after the Closing in substantially the same manner as operated prior to the Closing.  After the Closing, there will be no Intellectual Property owned or used by the Seller or its Subsidiaries that is necessary for the Business as of the Closing as to which no provision is made in the Transaction Documents for continued use thereof after the Closing by the Purchaser.
(c)Neither the Transferred Intellectual Property nor the Business as conducted by the Seller interferes with, dilutes, infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property rights of any third party, and has not done so in the last six years (except that the foregoing representation is given to the Knowledge of the Seller with respect to patents).

To the Knowledge of the Seller, no third party currently interferes with, dilutes, infringes upon, misappropriates, or violates and nor during the last three years has any third party interfered with, diluted, infringed upon, misappropriated, or otherwise violated any Transferred Intellectual Property.

Neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has made any written claim against any third party alleging any infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any Transferred Intellectual Property.  Other than rejections in routine patent and trademark prosecution in pending patent or trademark applications, none of the Transferred Intellectual Property is subject to any outstanding order, judgment, injunction, decree, ruling or agreement adversely affecting the Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’ use thereof or rights thereto, or that would impair the validity or enforceability thereof.
(d)Each current and former employee, consultant and contractor of the Seller and its Subsidiaries that is or was involved in the conception, development or reduction to practice of any Transferred Intellectual Property for the Business has entered into a valid, written non-disclosure and invention assignment agreement whereby such employees, consultants or contractors have assigned to the Seller all of their right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Intellectual Property that are conceived of or developed by such employees, consultants and contractors.

Section 4.4Litigation. There is no Action by or against the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including the SPV) pending or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser or the SPV, threatened before any Governmental Authority, that would materially and adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which Purchaser or the SPV is a party or would prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

The Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the fees and expenses of Goldman Sachs & Co. and Moelis & Company LLC.
Section 4.6Debt Financing.
(a)The Purchaser has delivered to the Seller a true, correct and complete and fully executed copy of the debt commitment letter, dated on or about the date hereof, among the Purchaser and the lender party thereto (as the same may be amended or replaced pursuant to Section 5.13(c), the “Debt Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which the lender party thereto has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Debt Commitment Letter, to lend the amounts set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter for the purposes of financing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Debt Financing”). The Debt Commitment Letter and the related fee letter are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Debt Financing Agreements”.
(b)As of the date hereof, each commitment represented by the Debt Financing Agreements is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser (except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity), and to the knowledge of the Purchaser, the other parties thereto.  None of the Debt Financing Agreements has been amended or modified prior to the date hereof and none of the respective commitments contained in the Debt Financing Agreements have been withdrawn, modified or rescinded in any respect as of the date hereof.  Except for the fee letter relating to the Debt Financing (a complete copy of which has been provided to the Seller, with only the fee amounts, other economics and market flex (none of which would adversely affect the full amount or availability of the Debt Financing) redacted), as of the date hereof, there are no side letters or other agreements, contracts or arrangements related to the funding or investment, as applicable, of the Debt Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Debt Financing Agreements.

As of the date hereof, no event had occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of the Purchaser, or to the knowledge of the Purchaser, any Financing Source, under any term of the Debt Financing Agreements.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII and the completion of the Marketing Period, as of the date hereof, the Purchaser has no reason to believe that it would be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition of the Debt Financing Agreements required to be satisfied by it on or prior to the Closing Date.
(d)The Purchaser represents that it will have at the Closing adequate funds, not including any proceeds received from the Debt Financing, to purchase the Transferred Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities at Closing and that it will consummate the transactions described in this Agreement.  After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in Article III, the Purchaser will not (i) be insolvent (either because its financial condition is such that the sum of its debts is greater than the fair value of its assets or because the fair salable value of its assets is less than the amount required to pay its probable Liability on its existing debts as they mature), (ii) have unreasonably small capital with which to engage in its business, or (iii) have incurred debts beyond its ability to pay as they become due.
Section 4.7Operations of the SPV. The SPV is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Purchaser and was organized solely for the purpose of entering into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and has not engaged in any activities or business, and has incurred no liabilities or obligations whatsoever, in each case, other than those incident to its organization and the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 4.8Issuance of Preferred Equity. Upon the due execution of the SPV Operating Agreement, and the consummation of the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Preferred Equity (a) shall have been duly authorized and validly issued and shall be non-assessable and free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than those arising under applicable federal and state securities Laws), and no further payment or contribution shall be required with respect thereto, and (b) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in Section 3.25, shall have been issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities Laws.  The Purchaser owns all of the common membership interests of the SPV (the “Common Interests”), which constitute, as of the date hereof and shall constitute immediately prior to the issuance of the Preferred Equity to the Seller at the Closing, all of the authorized and issued membership interests and other equity interests in the SPV.  The Common Interests have been duly authorized and validly issued and are non-assessable and free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than those arising under applicable federal and state securities Laws), and no further payment or contribution is required with respect thereto.  There are no outstanding securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, or authorized options, warrants, purchase rights, subscription rights, conversion rights, exchange rights, or other contracts or commitments that could require the Purchaser or the SPV to issue, sell, or otherwise cause to become outstanding, any Common Interests, Preferred Units or other membership interests or equity interests in the SPV.  There are no agreements, including, without limitation, 
-59-

relating to registration rights, investor rights, co-sale rights, rights of first refusal, preemptive rights, voting or other similar agreements or understandings to which the Purchaser is a party or is bound with respect to the SPV or to which the SPV is a party or is bound.  There are no outstanding Plans with respect to the SPV, and there are no outstanding stock appreciation, phantom stock, profit participation or similar rights with respect to the membership interests of the SPV.  Immediately after the Closing, the Purchaser will own 100% of the Common Interests, and the Seller will own 100% of the Preferred Units.

(a)The Purchaser has conducted to its satisfaction its own independent investigation, review and analysis of the business, operations, assets, Liabilities, results of operations, financial condition, software, technology and prospects of the Business, which investigation, review and analysis was performed by the Purchaser and its Representatives.  The Purchaser acknowledges that it and its Representatives have been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, facilities and records of the Business for such purpose.  In entering into this Agreement, the Purchaser acknowledges that it has relied upon its own investigation, review and analysis and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, not on any statements, representations or opinions of the Seller or any of its Representatives (except the specific representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in Article III or any other Transaction Document).
(b)The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary  other than the specific representations and warranties made in Article III or in any other Transaction Document, none of the Seller, its Subsidiaries or their Representatives makes or has made, and the Purchaser has not and is not relying on, any representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, in respect of the Business, any of the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, including with respect to (A) the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities; (B) merchantability or fitness for any particular use or purpose or any other warranties arising under the Uniform Commercial Code (or similar Laws); (C) the operation of the Business by the Purchaser after the Closing Date; or (D) the probable success, profitability or prospects of the Business after the Closing Date; and  none of the Seller, its Subsidiaries or their Representatives will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to the Purchaser, its Representatives or to any other Person resulting from the distribution to the Purchaser or its Representatives of, or the Purchaser’s or its Representatives’ use of, any information relating to the Business, including the Confidential Management Presentation and any information, documents, offering materials or other material made available to the Purchaser or its Representatives or potential financing sources, whether orally or in writing, in certain “data rooms,” management presentations, functional “break-out” discussions, “expert sessions,” site tours or visits, diligence calls or meetings, responses to questions submitted on behalf of the Purchaser or its Representatives or in any other form in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, in each case, other than in the case of fraud.  The Purchaser and its Representatives have received and may continue to receive from the Seller, its Subsidiaries and their Representatives certain estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets for the Business and certain plan and budget information.  The Purchaser acknowledges that these estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets and the assumptions on which they are based were prepared for specific purposes and 
-60-

may vary significantly from each other.  Further, the Purchaser acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets, that the Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets so furnished to it, and that the Purchaser is not relying on any estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or budgets furnished by the Seller or its Representatives, and the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, hold any such Person liable with respect thereto, other than in the case of fraud.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller shall not be required to provide any access or disclose any information to the Purchaser or its Representatives if such disclosure would, in the Seller’s reasonable discretion (in the case of clauses (2), (3) and (4), after consultation with outside counsel), (1) put the Seller or the Business at a competitive disadvantage if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are not consummated; (2) jeopardize, or result in a loss or waiver of, any attorney-client or other legal privilege; (3) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or agreement that exists on the date of this Agreement; or (4) result in disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Seller, its Subsidiaries or third parties; provided that, in the cases of clauses (2), (3) and (4), the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in reasonable detail of the circumstances giving rise to such privilege, Law, duty, agreement or trade secret and cooperate to permit disclosure of such information in a manner consistent herewith.  When accessing any of the Seller’s properties, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, comply with all of the Seller’s safety and security requirements for the applicable property.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (I) in no event shall the Seller be required to provide any information exclusively relating to any Excluded Assets or any Excluded Liabilities, except to the extent such information is material to the Business or responsive to any of the representations of the Seller set forth in this Agreement; and (II) neither the Purchaser nor any of its Representatives shall be allowed to sample or analyze any soil or groundwater or other environmental media, or any building material, without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Seller.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser or its Representatives shall be allowed to perform a Phase I ESA in accordance with ASTM Standard E1527-13 at the Owned Real Property located in Tyrone, Pennsylvania and complete the scope of work, including proposed sampling locations, sample collection methods, media, analytes, analytical methods, quality control measures, and schedule for a Phase II ESA at the Owned Real Property located in South Haven, Michigan consistent with Exhibit F.

Section 5.3Confidentiality.
(a)The terms of the confidentiality agreement, dated as of November 25, 2019 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between the Seller and the Purchaser are hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing and shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until their expiration in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, that, upon the Closing, the confidentiality and non-use obligations contained in the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate in respect of that portion of the Confidential Information primarily relating to the Business and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.  If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
(b)Nothing provided to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.2(a) shall in any way amend or diminish the Purchaser’s obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Section 5.3(a), any Confidential Information made available to the Purchaser or its Representatives pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or otherwise by the Seller or any of its Representatives prior to the Closing Date shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement.
(c)Following the Closing, the Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives (collectively, “Seller Restricted Parties”) to   maintain the confidentiality of,   not use, and   not divulge to any Person, any confidential, non-public or proprietary information concerning the Business and/or the Transferred Assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any information accessed or obtained by the Seller Restricted Parties pursuant to Section 5.2(b)) (such information, to the extent not exclusively related to the Business and/or the Transferred Assets, the “Shared Information”), in each case, except (A) with the prior written consent of the Purchaser; (B) if, based on the advice of outside counsel, such Seller Restricted Party is required to report such information in order to comply with (1) applicable securities Laws and regulations, including stock exchange rules and regulations or (2) any other applicable Laws or a Governmental Order in connection with a dispute with or claim by a third party; provided, that with respect to clause (2) such Seller Restricted Party shall provide the Purchaser with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy, and such Seller Restricted 
-65-

Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser (at the Purchaser’s request) to obtain such order or remedy; provided, further, that, in the event such order or remedy is not obtained, such Seller Restricted Party shall furnish only that portion of such information which, in the opinion of its outside counsel, it is legally required to disclose and shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts (at the Purchaser’s request) to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any such information so disclosed; or (C) with respect to Shared Information, pursuant to non-disclosure agreements (or license agreements containing non-disclosure obligations) that (1) obligate the recipient of such Shared Information to maintain the confidentiality thereof and not use such Shared Information and (2) impose perpetual confidentiality obligations on the recipient with respect to trade secrets.
Section 5.4Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents.
(a)Each of the Purchaser and the Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to,   promptly obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents;   cooperate fully with the other party in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals; and   provide such other information to any Governmental Authority as such Governmental Authority may reasonably request in connection herewith.  Each party hereto agrees to, and shall cause its respective Affiliates, as applicable, to, make, as promptly as practicable, (A) in any event no later than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, its respective filing, if necessary, pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act, and (B) in any event within 30 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, its respective filings and notifications, if any, pursuant to any other applicable Antitrust Law in the jurisdictions set forth on Section 7.1(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be reasonably requested pursuant to the applicable Antitrust Law.  The Purchaser shall pay all filing fees with respect any filings required pursuant to HSR Act or the Antitrust Laws in the jurisdictions set forth in Section 7.1(b).
(b)If, upon the Closing Date, any Governmental Authority has not transferred any Environmental Permit to Purchaser or, if any Environmental Permit is not transferrable (e.g., the Seller’s Tyrone pesticide establishment registration, EPA Establishment 3377-PA-001), and any Governmental Authority has not issued a substantively equivalent Environmental Permit to Purchaser (each, a “Non-Transferred Environmental Permit”), then the Seller shall maintain such Non-Transferred Environmental Permits in its name until the applicable Governmental Authority transfers or issues such Environmental Permit to the Purchaser.  Immediately upon the Closing Date and to the extent allowed by and in accordance with applicable Law, the Seller shall grant or cause to be granted to the Purchaser the right to operate the Business, including the Transferred Assets, under each of the Non-Transferred Environmental Permits.  From and after the date of this Agreement, the Seller will make available to the Purchaser each person who is required to sign all requisite transfer applications and other documents necessary to effect the 
-66-

transfer of or otherwise obtain the Non-Transferred Environmental Permits, and the Seller shall cause such persons to execute and deliver all such applications and documents.  As of the Closing Date and thereafter, the Seller will, without further consideration, cooperate to the maximum extent possible with the Purchaser to enter into any arrangement, including the execution of such documents and instruments as may reasonably be deemed necessary or desirable to cause the Purchaser or its Affiliates to: (i) be allowed to operate under the Non-Transferred Environmental Permits, including, without limitation, designating the Purchaser as an “operator”, “permittee”, or “licensee” under the Environmental Permits and approving and signing all operator change forms or revisions prepared by the Purchaser at or immediately after the Closing; and (ii) receive transfer of or obtain such Non-Transferred Environmental Permits or to become the successor thereto as the Governmental Authority may require.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.4(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement,   neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation under this Agreement to divest or agree to divest (or cause any of its Affiliates or the Seller to divest or agree to divest) any of the Purchaser’s assets, properties, businesses, or product lines or the Transferred Assets or to agree (or cause any of its Affiliates or the Seller to agree) to any limitation or restriction on any of its assets, properties, businesses, or product lines or the Transferred Assets and   the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, defend through litigation on the merits any Action by any Governmental Authority in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing prior to the Termination Date.
(d)Each party shall not extend or consent to any extension of any applicable waiting or review period or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority to not consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, except upon the prior consent of the other party.  Each party to this Agreement shall promptly notify the other party of any substantive communication it or any of its Representatives receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permit the other party to review in advance any proposed substantive communication by such party to any Governmental Authority.  Each of the parties to this Agreement shall permit outside counsel of the other party to be present or participate in any materially substantive call, discussion or meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation (including any settlement of an investigation), litigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other party in advance and unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such call, discussion or meeting; provided that such consultation is not required by the Purchaser’s outside counsel to communicate with the Governmental Authorities in the jurisdictions set forth in Section 7.1(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, except to the extent the Seller has engaged outside competition counsel in such jurisdiction.  Each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party hereto may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods, including under the HSR Act.  Each party to this Agreement shall, and shall cause its outside counsel to, provide the other party’s outside counsel with copies of all correspondence, filings (excluding the Purchaser’s HSR Form) or communications between the parties or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this 
-67-

Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided, however, that materials may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Business and competitively sensitive information; (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements or applicable Law; and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns.
(e)Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Section 5.4, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any merger, acquisition, or joint venture, or any agreement to effect any merger, acquisition, or joint venture that would reasonably be expected to make it materially more difficult, or to increase the time required by more than 30 days, to (i)  obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, or any other applicable Antitrust Law, applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or (ii) obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of Governmental Authorities necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
Section 5.5Retained Names and Marks.
(a)The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that all right, title and interest in and to the “ALBEMARLE” and “ALBEMARLE CORPORATION” names and the Albemarle logo, together with all variations and acronyms thereof, and all trademarks, service marks, Internet domain names, trade names, trade dress, company names and other identifiers of source and any associated Goodwill owned by the Seller other than the Transferred Intellectual Property (collectively, the “Retained Names and Marks”), are owned solely by the Seller or its Subsidiaries, and that, except as expressly provided in this Section 5.5, any and all right of the Business to use the Retained Names and Marks shall terminate as of the Closing and shall immediately revert to the Seller, along with any and all Goodwill associated therewith.  Each of the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries further acknowledges that neither the Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries is acquiring any rights on or after the Closing Date, to use the Retained Names and Marks after Closing, except for the rights expressly provided in Section 5.5(b).
(b)The Purchaser shall be entitled to use, solely in connection with the operation of the Business as operated immediately prior to the Closing Date, all of the existing stocks of signs, letterheads, labels, office forms, packaging, invoice stock, advertisements and promotional materials, inventory and other documents and materials that are included in the Transferred Assets and contain the Retained Names and Marks (“Existing Stock”) for: (i)  with respect to any Existing Stock that constitutes exterior or interior facility signage, a period of 90 days after the Closing and (ii)  with respect to all other Existing Stock, the longer of (A) 90 days after the date of Closing and (B) 45 days after receipt by the Purchaser of any Existing Stock in transit as of the Closing Date, after which period the Purchaser shall remove or obliterate all Retained Names and Marks from such Existing Stock or cease using such Existing Stock; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all such Existing Stock used by it hereunder following the Closing shall, to the extent practicable, display a notice, in a format reasonably acceptable to the Seller, indicating that the Business was formerly owned by the Seller, and is now owned and operated by the Purchaser.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.6, the Purchaser (A) may, at all times after the Closing, (1) keep records and other historical or archived documents containing or 
-68-

referencing the Retained Names and Marks for record and archival purposes, and (2) refer to the historical fact that the Business was previously conducted under the Retained Names and Marks, (B) has no obligation to retrieve or alter any materials that display any Retained Names and Marks and are, as of the Closing, in the possession and control of a third party, or to revise any Contracts, unless required by applicable Law, and (C) may use any Retained Names and Marks (1) to the extent applicable Law would restrict the ability of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from operating the Business in any respect (but only while so restricted) and (2) as otherwise required under applicable Law.
(c)Except as expressly provided in this Section 5.5, no other right to use the Retained Names and Marks is granted hereunder by the Seller to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates whether by implication or otherwise, and nothing hereunder permits the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to use the Retained Names and Marks in any manner other than in connection with Existing Stock.  The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all uses of the Retained Names and Marks provided in this Section 5.5 shall be only with respect to goods and services of a level of quality substantially similar to the quality of goods and services with respect to which the Retained Names and Marks were used in the Business prior to the Closing. Any and all Goodwill generated by the use of the Retained Names and Marks under this Section 5.5 shall inure solely to the benefit of the Seller. In no event shall the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates use the Retained Names and Marks hereunder in any manner that may reasonably be expected to damage or tarnish the reputation of the Seller or the Goodwill associated with the Retained Names and Marks.
(d)The Purchaser agrees that the Seller shall have no responsibility for claims by third parties arising out of, or relating to, the use by the Purchaser and its Affiliates of any Retained Names and Marks after the Closing Date. In addition to any and all other available remedies, the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all such claims that may arise out of the use of the Retained Names and Marks by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (i)  in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5, other than such claims (A) that the Retained Names and Marks, consistent with the use of such Retained Names and Marks prior to the Closing, infringe or dilute the Intellectual Property rights of any third party, (B) that constitute Excluded Liabilities, or (C) for which the Seller is obligated to indemnify a Purchaser Indemnified Party under Section 8.2; or (ii)  in violation of or outside the scope permitted by this Section 5.5. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.5, the Seller, in addition to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to seek a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order or other equivalent relief restraining the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from any such breach or threatened breach, but may not seek to terminate the Purchaser’s right to use the Retained Names and Marks in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.5.
Section 5.6IP Matters.
(a)To the extent there exists any Intellectual Property owned by the Seller or its Affiliates after the Closing (other than the Retained Names and Marks) that was used but not primarily used in the operation of the Business as of the Closing, the Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to the Purchaser and its Affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, non-
-69-

exclusive, worldwide, assignable, sublicensable, royalty-free and fully-paid-up license to use such Intellectual Property in connection with the operation of the Business (and natural evolutions thereof).
(b)Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall effect any necessary corrective recordals with all patent, trademark, and copyright offices and domain name registrars and other similar authorities with respect to the Registered Intellectual Property included in the Transferred Assets   that is still recorded in the name of legal predecessors of the Seller or any Person other than the Seller, or   where the relevant recordals of the patent, copyright, and trademark offices, and domain name registrars, and other similar authorities with respect to such Intellectual Property are materially incorrect for any other reason.
(c)Within 30 days following the date of this Agreement, the Seller shall provide a schedule identifying any actions that must be taken within 12 months from the date thereof in connection with the prosecution of all Registered Intellectual Property included in the Transferred Assets, including any responses to office actions.
(d)The parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to complete the items set forth on Section 5.6(d) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the completion of all such items, as reasonably agreed by the parties, the “Pre-Closing IT Integration Completion”).
Section 5.7Insurance
.  From and after the Closing Date, the Transferred Assets and the Business shall cease to be insured by the Seller’s insurance policies or by any of its self-insured programs in respect of any claims or potential claims arising out of or relating to any events or circumstances occurring from and after the Closing Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall retain all rights to control its insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs, other than in respect of disputes relating to any Post-Signing Insurance Proceeds.  The Purchaser agrees to arrange for its own insurance policies with respect to the Business and the Purchaser covering all periods from and after the Closing Date and agrees not to seek, through any means, to benefit from the Seller’s insurance policies that may provide coverage for claims relating in any way to the Business or the Transferred Assets from and after the Closing; provided, that this Section 5.7 shall not be construed to limit Purchaser’s rights to the Post-Signing Insurance Proceeds or indemnification by the Seller granted under this Agreement.
Section 5.8Employees.
(a)Prior to and effective as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer employment to each Business Employee who (i)  is actively employed on such date or is absent from employment due to vacation or temporary illness not reasonably expected to exceed five days (the “Current Employees”) or (ii)  (A) is absent from work due to an authorized leave of absence (including but not limited to a leave of absence due to a short-term or long-term disability) or is categorized by the Seller as active but absent due to workers’ compensation and (B) has the right to return to employment following expiration of 
-70-

such absence under applicable Law, effective as of the expiration of the leave (the “Leave Employees” and, together with the Current Employees, the “Closing Date Employees”).  All such offers of employment to (1) Current Employees shall provide for employment with the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser to commence effective as of 12:00 A.M., local time, on the day immediately following the Closing Date and (2) Leave Employees shall provide for employment with the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser to commence at the expiration of such Leave Employees’ authorized leave; provided, however that if such Leave Employee does not return to active service prior to the end of a period of six months following the commencement of the applicable leave (the “Return Deadline”), such offer shall become null and void upon the Return Deadline and such Leave Employee shall in no event become a Transferred Employee (as defined below).  All such offers of employment shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 5.8 and to the extent that any Business Employee receives an offer in accordance with this Section 5.8 and does not accept such offer and commence employment with the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have any Liability with respect to such Business Employee (including, but not limited to, any Liability for severance or any other compensation).  Each Closing Date Employee who (a) accepts an offer of employment from the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, (b) executes any employment or similar agreement to the extent reasonably required by the Purchaser and presented to the Closing Date Employee prior to the Closing Date, (c) provides all of the necessary documentation (including, without limitation, I-9) required by applicable Law for employment, and (d) commences employment with the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”; provided, that a Leave Employee shall be treated as a Transferred Employee upon the expiration of the Leave Employee’s authorized leave to the extent that such expiration and return to active service occurs prior to the applicable Return Deadline. The date a Transferred Employee commences, or is deemed to commence, employment with the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser shall be referred to herein as the “Transfer Date.”  
(b)The Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide each Transferred Employee, for a period of no less than 12 months after the Transfer Date until the termination of such Transferred Employee’s employment with the Purchaser and its Affiliates, with   employment in a position that is comparable to such Transferred Employee’s position immediately prior to the Transfer Date (except with respect to the number of employees that report to such position);   an annual base salary (or in case of an hourly employee, a base hourly wage rate), overtime pay, commissions, and annual bonus opportunities (excluding any equity-based compensation and any opportunities relating to a long-term incentive plan), as applicable, as provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Transfer Date; and   employee benefits under plans, programs and arrangements that will provide benefits to such Transferred Employee that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate (taking into account any other consideration provided to such Transferred Employee relating to employee benefits immediately prior to the foregoing date), to the benefits provided by the Seller and its Subsidiaries (disregarding benefits under any defined benefit pension, retiree welfare, non-qualified deferred compensation, retention bonus or equity-based compensation plans, policies or programs), in each case, as of immediately prior to the Transfer Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contemplated by this Agreement shall be construed as requiring either the 
-71-

Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to continue the employment of any Transferred Employee for any period on or after the Closing Date.
(c)The Purchase Price shall be reduced at the Closing by an amount equal to  (i)  all amounts earned and payable based on actual performance results under the applicable annual cash based bonus plans or policies in which such Transferred Employees participated for the 2020 performance period, to the extent not paid prior to the Closing by the Seller or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (the “Accrued 2020 Performance Bonuses”), and (ii) all amounts earned and payable at “target” levels of performance under the applicable annual cash-based bonus plans or policies in which such Transferred Employee participated for the 2021 performance period as of immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Date, with such amounts to be prorated for days of service provided by the Transferred Employee during the portion of the 2021 performance period that occurs from the beginning of such performance period through the Transfer Date (the “Accrued 2021 Performance Bonuses” and together with the Accrued 2020 Performance Bonuses, the “Accrued Performance Bonuses”), plus the employer portion of any payroll, social security, disability, workers compensation, unemployment or similar Taxes payable by the Purchaser resulting therefrom.  The Purchaser agrees to pay the Accrued 2020 Performance Bonuses on behalf of the Seller to each applicable Transferred Employee on the next payroll date after such Transferred Employee’s Transfer Date.  The Purchaser agrees to pay the Accrued 2021 Performance Bonuses on behalf of the Seller to each applicable Transferred Employee on or before the date that the Purchaser pays performance bonuses to its employees for 2021. From and after the Transfer Date, each Transferred Employee who participated in an annual cash-based bonus plan sponsored by the Seller or any of its Affiliates as of such date shall be eligible to receive an annual cash-based bonus for the remaining 2021 performance period based on all amounts earned and payable at actual performance determined based on the goals applicable under the Seller’s annual cash-based bonus plans or policies in which such Transferred Employee participates for the 2021 performance period, and the Purchaser shall be liable for the payment of the amounts, if any (such amounts, the “2021 Bonus Stub Period Performance Bonuses”), earned thereunder based on actual performance and subject to such Transferred Employee’s continued service with the Purchaser through the applicable payment date in accordance with the terms of the applicable bonus plan or policy, with such 2021 Bonus Stub Period Performance Bonus, if any, to be prorated to reflect only the days of service provided by such Transferred Employee to the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates during the portion of the 2021 performance period that occurs after the Transfer Date (such portion, the “2021 Bonus Stub Period”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Transferred Employee whose employment with the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is terminated thereby during the 2021 performance period without “cause,” such Transferred Employee shall be eligible to receive payment of his or her (A) 2021 Bonus Stub Period Performance Bonus earned based on actual performance under the applicable cash-based bonus plan or policy of the Purchaser, if any, for 2021 prorated to reflect his or her days of service to the Purchaser and/or any of its Affiliates during the 2021 Bonus Stub Period and (B) the Accrued 2021 Performance Bonus.
(d)With respect to each Transferred Employee who is terminated without “cause” during the one-year period immediately following the Closing Date, the Purchaser or its Affiliates shall provide severance payments to such Transferred Employee that are no less favorable than those severance payments applicable to such Transferred Employee as of 
-72-

immediately prior to the Transfer Date after taking into account any service that such Transferred Employee has with the Purchaser or its Affiliates as of the date of such termination of employment, including, for the avoidance of doubt, service credited under Section 5.8(e).
(e)With respect to each Transferred Employee, effective from and after the Transfer Date, if and to the extent that the Seller provides the Purchaser with such information as needed to implement the following (unless prohibited by applicable Law),  the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to   recognize, for purposes of eligibility and benefit levels under Purchaser Benefit Plans that provide for vacation or severance benefits, service with the Seller and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates prior to the Transfer Date to the extent that such service was recognized under the corresponding Seller Benefit Plan (if any) covering such Transferred Employees, except as would result in the duplication of benefits,  recognize, for the purposes of vesting and eligibility under any Purchaser Benefit Plan that is a tax-qualified defined contribution plan, service with the Seller and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates prior to the Transfer Date to the extent that such service was recognized under the corresponding Seller Benefit Plan that is a tax-qualified defined contribution plan covering such Transferred Employees, except as would result in the duplication of benefits, and  with respect to Purchaser Benefit Plans that are health and welfare plans, (A) waive any pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period under all employee health and other welfare benefit plans established or maintained by the Purchaser or its Affiliates in which such Transferred Employee participates, except to the extent such pre-existing condition, exclusion, requirement or waiting period would have applied to such individual under the corresponding Seller Benefit Plan (if any), (B) provide credit for co-payments, deductibles or similar payments made or incurred by the Transferred Employees prior to the Transfer Date under the corresponding Seller Benefit Plan (if any), covering such Transferred Employees with respect to all employee health and other welfare benefit plans established or operated by the Purchaser or its Affiliates in which such Transferred Employees participate (other than flexible spending accounts) for the plan year in which the Transfer Date occurs, and (C) be liable for any continued health coverage that such Transferred Employees will be eligible to receive on and after the Transfer Date, if any, under Section 4980B of the Code, Sections 601 through 607 of ERISA or other applicable Law (but excluding any such continuation coverage to which the Transferred Employees are eligible as the result of the termination of the Transferred Employee’s employment with the Seller and its Subsidiaries).
(f)With respect to each Transferred Employee, immediately prior to such Transferred Employee’s Transfer Date, the Transferred Employee shall cease to contribute to the Seller’s flexible spending account plan (the “Seller FSA Plan”).  Transferred Employees who elected to participate in the Seller FSA Plan for the plan year beginning January 1 of the year during which the Closing occurs shall become participants in a flexible spending account plan of the Purchaser or its Affiliate (the “Purchaser FSA Plan”) as if their participation in the Purchaser FSA Plan had been continuous from such January 1 and at the same level of coverage elected under the Seller FSA Plan.  Following the Transfer Date, each Transferred Employee will be reimbursed by the Purchaser or its Affiliate under the Purchaser FSA Plan for qualifying medical and dependent care expenses incurred by such Transferred Employee at any time during the year during which the Closing occurs, up to the amount of the elections made by each Transferred Employee under the Seller FSA Plan for such year, reduced by amounts previously reimbursed by the Seller or its Affiliate pursuant to the Seller FSA Plan for such year.  To effectuate the

foregoing, as soon as practicable after each Transfer Date (and in any event within 30 days following the Closing), the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with a summary of account balances and confirm whether the amounts of the account balances (if any) under the Seller FSA Plan for the Transferred Employees are positive or negative in the aggregate immediately prior to such Transfer Date, and the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser such aggregate balance (if positive) or the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller such aggregate balance (if negative) with respect to all Transferred Employees who become covered under the Purchaser FSA Plan for the plan year during which the Closing occurs.

(j)As soon as administratively practicable following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall permit each Transferred Employee who was eligible to participate in a defined contribution plan sponsored by the Seller or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is intended to be “qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) to elect to rollover to a defined contribution plan sponsored by the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates that is intended to be “qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”), each such Transferred Employee’s account balance when distributed from the Seller 401(k) Plan, including, to the extent administratively practicable,  any outstanding participant loans from the Seller 401(k) Plan.

(l)Nothing in this Section 5.8, express or implied, shall (i)  confer upon any Business Employee, or legal representative or beneficiary thereof, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement, (ii)  be construed to prevent the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from terminating or modifying to any extent or in any respect any Purchaser Benefit Plan, (iii)  amend, or be deemed to amend, any benefit plan or (iv)  constitute the establishment of, or an amendment to, any benefit plan.

The Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not disseminate any communications about employment to the Business Employees prior to the Closing Date without the prior approval of the Seller, and the Seller shall not disseminate any such communications about employment offers without the prior approval of the Purchaser, which approval in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent either party from making any and all public disclosures legally required to comply with any applicable Laws; provided, that, each party shall provide the other party with advance notice as to the form and content of any such disclosures.
(n)All amounts payable under the Retention Agreements to the Retention Agreement Recipients (plus the employer portion of any payroll, social security, disability, workers compensation, unemployment or similar Taxes payable by the Purchaser resulting therefrom) shall be deducted from the Purchase Price.  The Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall assume the Liability with respect to amounts payable to any Retention Agreement Recipients pursuant to the terms of the Retention Agreements.  The Purchaser agrees to pay all such amounts payable under the Retention Agreements to each Retention Agreement Recipient at such time as provided in, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the applicable Retention Agreement.  In the event that the amounts payable under a Retention Agreement are canceled and forfeited pursuant to the terms of such Retention Agreement (e.g., because the Retention Agreement Recipient voluntarily resigned his or her employment or was terminated for Cause before the applicable vesting date as set forth therein), then the Purchaser shall notify the Seller and promptly pay to the Seller any such amounts canceled, forfeited and no longer payable by the Purchaser to such Retention Agreement Recipient. 
(o)In consideration of the Purchaser’s agreement to pay or cause to be paid (i) the Accrued Performance Bonuses and the 2021 Bonus Stub Period Performance Bonuses as set forth in Section 5.8(c), and (ii) the amounts payable to the Retention Bonus Recipients under the Retention Agreements as set forth in Section 5.8(n), the Seller hereby agrees to provide the Purchaser with all information requested by the Purchaser for the purposes of implementing and administering these payments and the Retention Agreements, and, for a period of 12 months following the Closing, to make its (and its Affiliates’) employees available to the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to answer questions and provide such additional data and support as requested by the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. If, during the 12-month period 
-75-

following the Closing, any representative of the Purchaser contacts the Seller to request assistance or additional information required to implement and administer these payments, and the Seller does not promptly undertake commercially reasonable efforts to provide such data within 45 days following such request, the Purchaser shall no longer be obligated to pay the Accrued Performance Bonuses, the 2021 Bonus Stub Period Performance Bonuses, or the amounts payable under the Retention Agreements, and shall (i) promptly refund to the Seller any unpaid amounts in respect of the Accrued Performance Bonuses or the amounts payable under the Retention Agreements for the Seller to pay or cause to be paid, as appropriate, and (ii) be permitted to determine 2021 Bonus Stub Period Performance Bonuses for the Transferred Employees based upon the metrics with respect to which annual bonuses are determined under the annual cash-based bonus plans or policies of the Purchaser in which similarly situated employees of the Purchaser or its Affiliates are eligible to participate.

The following provisions apply to the attorney-client relationship between (a)  the Seller and Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP prior to Closing and (b)  the Seller and Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP following Closing. The Purchaser agrees that (i)  it will not seek to disqualify Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP from acting and continuing to act as counsel to the Seller either in the event of a dispute hereunder or in the course of the defense or prosecution of any claim relating to the transactions contemplated herein because of their representation of the Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated herein; and (ii)  the Seller has a reasonable expectation of privacy with respect to the Seller’s communications (including any e-mail communications using the Seller’s e-mail system) with Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP to the extent such communications concern the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

(c)Following the Closing,   in the event that the Seller, the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates discovers an asset that would constitute a Transferred Asset if held by the Seller immediately prior to the Closing is owned by the Seller and was not acquired by the Purchaser hereunder, the Seller shall assign, transfer and convey such asset to the Purchaser for no additional consideration, and shall execute and deliver such further documents and instruments necessary to give effect to and evidence such assignment, transfer and conveyance and   in the event that the Seller, the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates discovers an 
-77-

asset that did not constitute a Transferred Asset immediately prior to the Closing was acquired by the Purchaser or its Affiliates hereunder, the Purchaser or its Affiliates shall assign, transfer and convey such asset to the Seller for no additional consideration, and shall execute and deliver such further documents and instruments necessary to give effect to and evidence such assignment, transfer and conveyance.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that any Material Contract was not set forth on Section 3.13(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule as of the date hereof, the Purchaser shall have ten Business Days from the date the Purchaser receives a complete copy of such Contract to review such Contract and determine, in its sole discretion, whether to reject such Contract.  If the Purchaser determines to reject such Contract, the Seller shall retain all rights, benefits and obligations pursuant to such Contract, the Purchaser shall have no liability with respect to such Contract and such Contract shall be deemed to be an Excluded Asset for all purposes hereunder.
Section 5.12Title Insurance.
(a)No later than 15 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser for the Owned Real Property (i) one or more title commitments (each, a “Title Commitment”) issued by the Title Insurer, naming the Purchaser (or its designee) as the proposed insured, wherein the Title Insurer shall agree to issue an ALTA form of owner’s Title Policy (ii) one or more ALTA/NSPS surveys (each, a “Survey”) certified to the Purchaser (or its designee) and the Title Insurer.  If the Purchaser seeks to have any Permitted Encumbrance removed of record (or omitted from the Title Commitment), the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts (but excluding making any payments or incurring any costs, liability or other obligations) to cooperate with the Purchaser in curing (or having the Title Insurer insure over) any Permitted Encumbrance which appears on the Title Commitment.
(b)On the Closing Date, the Title Insurer shall file or record, or cause to be filed or recorded, the applicable Local Conveyance Documents (and all other necessary documents) in order that the legal and equitable title to the Owned Real Property shall be duly vested in the Purchaser (or its designee) free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.  The Title Insurance costs shall be paid by the Purchaser, Survey costs shall be paid by the Seller, and all escrow closing costs shall be borne equally by the Seller and the Purchaser.
Section 5.13Financing.
(a)The Purchaser shall use, and shall cause its Affiliates to use, its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and consummate the Debt Financing (or any Alternative Financing) on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Financing Agreements and to cause the conditions precedent described in the Debt Commitment Letter to be satisfied in a timely basis, including using its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Financing Agreements (including by complying with so-called “flex”

In the event that the Purchaser becomes aware of any event or circumstance that makes procurement of all or any portion of the Debt Financing unlikely to occur in the manner or from the sources contemplated in, or pursuant to the terms and conditions of, the Debt Commitment Letter and such Debt Financing or portion thereof is reasonably required for the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Purchaser shall reasonably promptly notify the Seller, and the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event or circumstance, replacement financings in the form of commitments (other than amounts that are replaced by other funds available to the Purchaser) from alternate sources (the “Alternative Financing”) on terms and conditions that will enable the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate to the Purchaser than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter; provided, however, that such Alternative Financing shall not (i) be subject to any additional or modified conditions or other contingencies to the funding of the Debt Financing than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or (ii) otherwise be reasonably likely to impair or materially delay the Closing or the date on which the Debt Financing would be obtained.  The Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller complete and correct copies of all material amendments, supplements, other modifications to the Debt Commitment Letter and all agreements pursuant to which any Alternative Financing shall be made available to the Purchaser.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Debt Financing” shall also be deemed to include any alternate Alternative Financing obtained by the Purchaser and the term “Debt Commitment Letter” shall also be deemed to include any commitment letter (or similar agreement) with respect to such Alternative Financing.
(b)Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers, directors and employees, and shall instruct its accountants, consultants, investment bankers, legal counsel, agents and other advisors and representatives to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to provide, in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, all reasonable cooperation (including with respect to timeliness) requested by the Purchaser that is customary in connection with the arrangement of debt financing for transactions that are substantially similar to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide financial and other pertinent information, including any Required Information regarding the Seller and its Subsidiaries and the Business as may be reasonably requested in writing by the Purchaser in order to consummate the Debt Financing or as necessary to satisfy the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, (ii) participate in a reasonable number of meetings, due diligence and drafting sessions, presentations (including, without limitation, marketing (or similar) presentations, and lender or other investor presentations) and sessions with rating agencies, (iii) assisting in preparing customary documents and materials, 
-79-

including confidential information memoranda, lender and investor presentations, rating agency presentations and similar documents and materials in connection with the Debt Financing (including the execution and delivery by officers of the Seller of customary authorization letters), (iv) reasonably cooperating in satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document relating to the Debt Financing (to the extent that such conditions precedent in such definitive documents are materially consistent with the conditions precedent set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and the satisfaction of such condition requires the cooperation of, and is within the control of, the Seller and/or any of its Subsidiaries) and (v) furnishing the Purchaser and the Financing Sources promptly with all documentation and other information which any Financing Source providing or arranging Debt Financing has determined is required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it being understood and agreed that information and documents provided by the Seller may be delivered to agents and lenders and other Financing Sources under the Debt Commitment Letter and their representatives (subject to customary arrangements for confidentiality, including the Purchaser providing prior written notice of disclosure to the Seller); provided, however, that neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other fee or incur any other liability or obligation in connection with the Debt Financing or to take any action that would be prohibited by any applicable Law or cause a default of, or breach under, or otherwise violate any Contract.  The Purchaser shall promptly, upon request by the Seller, reimburse the Seller for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Seller in connection with the cooperation of the Seller contemplated by this Section 5.13(b) and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its directors, officers, employees, representatives and Affiliates (collectively, the “Cooperation Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and any information used in connection therewith, except to the extent suffered or incurred as a result of the willful misconduct or bad faith of the Cooperation Indemnitees.
(c)Prior to the Closing without the prior written consent of the Seller, the Purchaser shall not permit any material amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy of, any Debt Financing Agreement, if such amendments, modifications or waiver would impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend, modify or waive any of the conditions to receipt of the Debt Financing, if such amendment, modification or waiver would reasonably be expected to cause a material delay to receipt of the Debt Financing under any Debt Financing Agreement or if such amendment, modification or waiver would reduce the amount of the Debt Financing below an amount which, when combined with the cash or cash equivalents otherwise available to the Purchaser, would not provide the Purchaser with sufficient funds to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser may replace, modify, supplement or amend the Debt Commitment Letter to add lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities which had not executed the Debt Commitment Letters as of the date hereof, and make other amendments, modifications or waivers, as long as such replacement, modification, supplement or amendment does not result in the imposition of new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend, modify or waive any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt 
-80-

Financing in a manner which would reasonably be expected to cause a material delay to the receipt of the Debt Financing or, if applicable, the Alternative Financing.
(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for all purposes of this Agreement, unless the Seller shall have engaged in willful misconduct or bad faith in connection with its obligations under this Section 5.13, the Seller shall not be deemed to be in breach of any of its obligations under, and it shall be deemed to have complied with all of its obligations contained in this Section 5.13.
(e)The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be a condition to Closing for the Purchaser to obtain the Debt Financing or the Alternative Financing.

Section 8.4Limitations on Indemnification.
(a)No claim for indemnification under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 may be asserted nor may any Action be commenced against an Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim unless written notice of such claim or Action is received by such Indemnifying Party describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or Action (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party) on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on which such claim or Action is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 8.1.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,  (i) the Seller shall not be liable for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and the Purchaser shall not be liable for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.3(a), in each case, unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from such Indemnifying Party exceeds $8,625,000 (the “Basket”), whereupon the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount of such Losses in excess of such amount; (ii)  the Seller shall not be liable for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and the Purchaser shall not be liable for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.3(a), in each case, relating to an individual claim resulting in Losses in the amount of $15,000 or less (a “De Minimis Claim”), regardless of whether or not aggregate Losses have exceeded the Basket; nor shall the amount of any such De Minimis Claims be taken into account in determining whether the Basket has been reached; (iii)  the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from any Indemnifying Party arising out of, or resulting from, the causes set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a) shall be an amount equal to $57,500,000; provided that the foregoing limitations set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall not apply to claims in respect of the Seller Fundamental Representations, the Purchaser Fundamental Representations or fraud and provided, further, that the maximum amount of indemnifiable 
-86-

Losses which may be recovered from the Seller under this Agreement shall be the Aggregate Transaction Value; and (iv)  the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that no Indemnifying Party shall have any Liability under this Article VIII for any Loss, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Loss is caused solely by (A) any action or inaction of the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives; (B) any action or inaction of the Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives at the written request, at the written direction, or with the written consent, of the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives; or (C) any action, that the Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives was expressly required to take or not to take pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any Transaction Document or, that the Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives was required to take under applicable Law.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, after the Closing, except to the extent (i) arising out of Third-Party Claims or (ii) reasonably foreseeable as a result of a breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement or any other mater giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII, none of the parties hereto and none of their respective Affiliates shall have any Liability under any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, loss of future profits, revenue or income, diminution in value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(d)For all purposes of this Article VIII, “Losses” shall be calculated net of   any recovery or benefit (including insurance and indemnification, but net of all costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery or benefit, including premium increases) actually paid to the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification and, if the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates receive such recovery or benefit after receipt of payment from the Indemnifying Party, then the lesser of (x) the amount of such recovery or benefit, net of all costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery or benefit, including premium increases, and (y) the amount previously recovered from the Indemnifying Party shall be paid to the Indemnifying Party.  Any Losses shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses (A) constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or otherwise being indemnifiable under multiple provisions of this Article VIII or (B) being taken into account in determining any adjustment to the Purchase Price under Section 2.10 or Section 2.11.
(e)Each party hereto shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses, and indemnification shall not be available with respect to any Loss to the extent such Loss is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be attributable to a failure by a party to use commercially reasonable efforts to take (or cause its Representatives to take) reasonable steps to mitigate such Loss; provided, that an Indemnified Party shall not be required to seek recovery from an insurance carrier or other Person with respect to any matter that is the subject of a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII.  No party hereto shall be entitled to any payment, adjustment or indemnification more than once with respect to the same Loss.  Notwithstanding 
-87-

anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that a Loss was taken into account in determining the Aggregate Transaction Value, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification or any other payment for such Loss.
Section 8.5Notice of Loss; Third-Party Claims.
(a)An Indemnified Party shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party written notice in reasonable detail of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given, or would reasonably be expected to give, rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises.
(b)If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Action, audit, demand or assessment against it brought by a third party (each, a “Third-Party Claim”), which would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for Loss under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party written notice in reasonable detail of such Third-Party Claim, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises, together with copies of all notices and documents served on or received by the Indemnified Party and its Representatives in respect thereof (subject to applicable Law).  A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice in a timely manner pursuant to Section 8.5(a) or this Section 8.5(b) shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.  The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party), if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim if (x) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, (y) such Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief, or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, criminal investigation or indictment, or (z) the Purchaser reasonably believes that the assumption and defense of such Third-Party Claim by the Seller could adversely affect the Business or its relationships with customers, clients, suppliers or other third parties with whom the Business or any of its Affiliates has a material business relationship.  If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake any such defense against a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim diligently and in good faith and shall give the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in such defense at its own expense.  The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto (or in the possession or control of any of its Representatives) as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party or its counsel, subject to applicable Law.  The Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge any Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  If the 
-88-

Indemnifying Party elects to undertake the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle any Third-Party Claim (i) (A) for which it obtains a full release of the Indemnified Party from all Liabilities, Losses and obligations in respect of such Third-Party Claim, and (B) the settlement of which does not involve any relief other than money damages which will be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, and which does not involve a finding or admission of any violation of Law or other wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, or (ii) the settlement of which the Indemnified Party consents to in writing.
Section 8.6Remedies.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that following the Closing (a) except with respect to claims for fraud, and other than as provided in Section 10.4(a) or Section 11.12, (i)  the indemnification provisions of Article VI and this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto and the parties to the other Transaction Documents, as applicable, for any breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document and for the breach of or any failure to perform and comply with any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document; (ii)  none of the parties hereto, their respective Representatives or any other Person may bring a claim under any other Transaction Document; and (iii)  any and all claims arising out of, or in connection with, the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Business or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement must be brought under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other Transaction Document shall give rise to any right on the part of any party hereto or thereto, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, to rescind this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  Subject to Section 11.12 and the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII, and except for any claims for fraud, from and after the Closing Date, (A) the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may not avoid the limitations on liability and available remedies provided in this Agreement by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, all of which are hereby waived, and (B) the Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Seller Indemnified Parties may not avoid the limitations on liability and available remedies provided in this Agreement by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, all of which are hereby waived.
Section 8.7Further Environmental Provisions.
(a)The Seller and the Purchaser agree that during the 45-day period commencing on the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall perform and complete a Phase II ESA at the Owned Real Property in South Haven, Michigan as reasonably necessary to obtain liability protection under Mich. Comp. Laws §324.20126(1)(c) and in accordance with the scope set forth on Exhibit F.  All costs of conducting the Phase II ESA, including the costs of any independent third-party environmental consultant engaged to perform the Phase II ESA (the “Consultant”), shall be borne solely by the Purchaser.  The Seller may request, and upon such request, the Purchaser shall promptly provide the Seller with a copy of all draft Phase II ESA reports prepared by Consultant engaged to perform the Phase II ESA and shall otherwise keep the Seller informed as to the status of the Phase II ESA.  Such draft Phase II ESA reports shall be reviewed 
-89-

by both the Purchaser and the Seller and each may provide comments, questions, and input on the documents prepared by the Consultant within seven days of receiving such documents, which the Consultant shall address in its best professional judgment.  The Purchaser shall promptly provide the Seller with copies of the final Phase II ESA report (the “Final Phase II Report”).
(b)Any Hazardous Materials whose concentrations, as set forth in the Final Phase II Report, are below the applicable Trigger Levels shall not constitute Seller Environmental Liabilities.  Any Hazardous Materials whose concentrations, as set forth in the Final Phase II Report, are above the applicable Trigger Levels shall cease being Seller Environmental Liabilities upon receipt by the Seller of a no further action letter from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy regarding such Hazardous Materials and satisfaction of all terms and conditions therein.
(c)With respect to any Remedial Action that is necessary to satisfy the Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 8.2 for any Seller Environmental Liabilities:
(i)the Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control the Remedial Action and related activities; provided, however, that, if the Seller elects to conduct such Remedial Action, the Seller shall (A) do so in a reasonable manner without unreasonably interfering with the Purchaser’s operations or use of the Manufacturing Facilities and Owned Real Property, (B) consult with the Purchaser in all material respects in connection with undertaking the Remedial Action, (C) provide the Purchaser with copies of all correspondence submitted to and received from any Governmental Authority relating to the Remedial Action or to the associated Release of Hazardous Materials, as well as copies of all reports and assessments prepared by the Seller on the Remedial Action, (D) provide the Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to provide comments to any material submissions to any Governmental Authority with respect thereto, including to any corrective action plans or proposals, and the Seller shall reasonably consider any such comments in connection with such submission in good faith, and (E) provide the Purchaser with reasonable notice of all planned substantive meetings and telephone conferences with the applicable Governmental Authority and the Purchaser shall have the right to attend and participate in such meetings and telephone conferences; further, the Seller shall not settle or compromise any such Remedial Action to the extent that it would materially interfere with the Manufacturing Facility or Owned Real Property without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, such specific consent not be the unreasonably withheld or delayed;
(ii)the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with the Seller, including by providing access to the subject site, including access to install, maintain, replace and operate wells and remove impacted soil and/or groundwater or undertake other activities related to such Remedial Action; provided, however, that the Seller shall exercise such rights of access in a reasonable manner without interfering with the Purchaser’s operations or use of the Manufacturing Facilities and Owned Real Property;
(iii)pursuant to applicable Environmental Laws including, but not limited to, Mich. Comp. Laws §§ 324.20101 to 324.20142 and Act 2, the Seller shall only 
-90-

be liable for its share of the costs incurred to the extent such Remedial Action is conducted in the Most Cost-Effective Manner (as defined below).  As used in this Agreement, the “Most Cost-Effective Manner” shall mean conduct appropriate for the facility determined from the perspective of a reasonable business person acting (without regard to the availability of indemnification hereunder) to (A) achieve compliance with applicable Trigger Levels or other applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits or respond to a requirement or order by a Governmental Authority, or (B) minimize liability to third parties, including to obtain liability protection pursuant to Mich. Comp. Laws §§ 324.20101 to 324.20142 and Act 2, and risk to human health, taking into account any interference with the Purchaser’s operations or use of the Manufacturing Facilities and Owned Real Property and incorporating (1) the least stringent clean-up standards that, based upon the use classification as of the Closing Date (industrial, commercial or residential) of the subject site, are allowed under applicable Environmental Law and that are approved or otherwise acceptable to applicable Governmental Authorities; and (2) the least-costly methods that are allowed under applicable Environmental Law and that are approved by or otherwise acceptable to applicable Governmental Authorities to achieve such standards, including the use of engineering and institutional controls to eliminate or minimize actual or potential exposure pathways.  With respect to any Remedial Action that is required to satisfy the Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 8.2 or this Section 8.7, the Purchaser shall be responsible for performing any operation and maintenance with respect to any such institutional or engineering controls subsequent to completion of their initial installation or recording and for payment of any associated costs directly related to the administration of the operation and maintenance of such institutional or engineering controls and such post-installation or recording costs shall not be subject to indemnification;
(iv)The Purchaser shall notify the Seller promptly regarding any requirements or orders from any Governmental Authority regarding a Remedial Action and, subject to Section 8.7(c)(v), shall not take any action to commence or accelerate any such Remedial Action without the prior written consent of the Seller; and
(v)If the Seller, after receiving written notice from the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.7(c)(iv), fails to timely commence, or cause to be timely commenced, or fails to diligently prosecute to completion in a timely manner, any Remedial Action required by a Governmental Authority or subject to an order of a Governmental Authority, then, notwithstanding Section 8.7(c)(iv), the Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Seller at any time, to undertake such Remedial Action, and the Seller shall be responsible for payment of any reasonable and associated costs.
(d)With respect to any action (other than any such action that is a Remedial Action) to correct a violation of any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit that is required to satisfy the Seller’s obligations under this Section 8.7 or indemnification obligations under Section 8.2 for any breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.14 or any Seller Environmental Liabilities and, notwithstanding Section 8.5, including any Third-Party 
-91-

Claim seeking Losses for any pre-Closing violation of, or noncompliance with, any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit:
(i)pursuant to applicable Environmental Laws, the Purchaser shall control and complete the conduct of such corrective action in the Most Cost-Effective Manner; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall consult with the Seller in all material respects in connection with undertaking the corrective action, shall provide the Seller with copies of all material correspondence submitted to and received from any Governmental Authority relating to the corrective action or to the associated violation or noncompliance, shall provide copies of all reports and assessments prepared by the Purchaser on the activity other than a Remedial Action, shall provide the Seller with reasonable opportunity to provide comments to any material submissions to any Governmental Authority with respect thereto, including to any corrective action plans or proposals, and the Purchaser shall reasonably consider any such comments in connection with such submission;
(ii)the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide the Seller with reasonable notice of all planned substantive meetings and telephone conferences with the applicable Governmental Authority, and the Seller and its Representatives shall have the right to attend and participate in such meetings and telephone conferences;
(iii)the Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party for capital costs incurred in connection with the implementation of a corrective action that are (A) not required by a Governmental Authority or (B) not reasonably necessary to achieve compliance with applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits which costs are in excess of the Most Cost-Effective Manner.  The parties hereto agree that, with respect to a corrective action required under Section 8.7(d), the Most Cost-Effective Manner shall include, and the Seller shall be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for, reasonable capital costs incurred in order to allow the Purchaser to operate in a manner and at a level of production that is consistent with the subject facility’s operations conducted during the 12-month period prior to the assertion of the particular claim;
(iv)the Seller shall under no circumstances be responsible for any costs related to compliance with any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit subsequent to the Closing, including any operating costs related to any capital upgrade or improvements made as, or in connection with any, such corrective action or legal or regulatory changes; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall be responsible for all costs related to compliance with any applicable Environmental Law or Environmental Permit arising out of acts or omissions of the Seller or the Business prior to the Closing;
(v)the Seller shall under no circumstances be responsible for any removal, abatement, encapsulation or maintenance of any Hazardous Materials included in any building material or equipment, including any Hazardous Materials discovered, 
-92-

encountered or disturbed pursuant to any demolition, renovation or construction subsequent to the Closing; and
(vi)for the sake of clarity, the parties acknowledge that, notwithstanding Section 8.5, this Section 8.7 does not in any way limit, condition or otherwise affect the Seller’s right to control the defense of any Third-Party Claim or Action, including any Third-Party Claim or Action seeking fines or penalties for any pre-Closing violation of or noncompliance with any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit.  If the Seller is controlling the defense of such Third-Party Claims or Actions, then the Purchaser’s obligations set forth above in Section 8.7(d)(i) and (ii) shall apply to the Seller, and the Seller shall not settle or compromise any such Third-Party Claim or Action to the extent that it would materially interfere with the Business, the Manufacturing Facility or Owned Real Property without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, such specific consent not be the unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(e)With respect to the Seller’s obligations under this Section 8.7 or indemnification obligations under Section 8.2 for any breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.14 or any Seller Environmental Liabilities, the Seller shall not be responsible for Losses to the extent they are caused, triggered, increased or have their timing accelerated by  any negligent act by the Purchaser or any of its Representatives subsequent to the Closing, or  any changes in Environmental Law coming into effect subsequent to the Closing.
(f)With respect to the Seller’s obligations under this Section 8.7 or indemnification obligations under Section 8.2 for any breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.14 or any Seller Environmental Liabilities, the Seller shall not be responsible for Losses and any such Losses shall constitute Purchaser Environmental Liabilities and shall not constitute Seller Environmental Liabilities, to the extent they are caused, triggered, increased or have their timing accelerated by (i) any change in use classification of a subject Owned Real Property, subsequent to the Closing from industrial to commercial or residential or from commercial to residential due to any action by the Purchaser; (ii) any decommissioning, closure or shutdown of a facility or a unit, including a waste management unit; or (iii) any intrusive environmental sampling, analysis, investigation, assessment, or testing of soil or groundwater at any Owned Real Property conducted subsequent to the Closing by or on behalf of the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates unless written notice has been provided to the Seller and such sampling, analyses, investigation, assessment, or testing is (A) required to comply with Environmental Law or required by a Governmental Authority, (B) performed in accordance with Section 8.7(a) or (C) performed in connection with Section 8.7(g).
(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Governmental Authority requires the Seller to complete a Remedial Action arising from or relating to the presence or any Releases of Hazardous Materials prior to the Closing Date at, in, on or from the Manufacturing Facility or Owned Real Property located in South Haven, Michigan, and the Seller’s Liability is caused, triggered, increased or had its timing accelerated by the Purchaser’s demolition, renovation, construction, disturbance, grading, excavation, dredging or removal to, into or underneath the ground, including but not limited to soil, groundwater, sediment, dredge materials, buildings pads/slabs, foundations, buildings, structures, piping, sumps, pits, vaults, underground storage tanks, debris and waste (unless, in each case, 
-93-

any such activity was performed as a part of routine maintenance work planned and performed at regular intervals and based on testing or other evidence indicating the maintenance work is necessary to extend the life or prevent the premature failure of structures or fixtures), then the Purchaser and the Seller shall split the cost of such Losses equally.  Notwithstanding Section 8.7(c)(i), the Purchaser shall have the right to control any Remedial Action related to the foregoing Losses in accordance with and subject to Section 8.7(c).
(h)The Purchaser acknowledges that its sole and exclusive remedy against the Seller or any Subsidiary of the Seller, and the Seller acknowledges that its sole and exclusive remedy against the Purchaser or any Subsidiary of the Purchaser, for any Losses or Liabilities relating to any applicable Environmental Laws, Environmental Permits or Hazardous Materials, or any environmental, health or safety matter, including natural resources (“Environmental Losses”), is under Section 8.2 or this Section 8.7.  In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Closing Date, except for any Losses for which the Seller is obligated to indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.2 or this Section 8.7, the Purchaser and the Seller each hereby (i) waive, on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, officers, directors, employees, agents and partners, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any claim or remedy against the Seller Indemnified Parties and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, respectively, now or hereafter available under any applicable Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or any other Law, whether or not in existence on the date hereof.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any claim under this Section 8.7 or for indemnification under Section 8.2 for any Seller Environmental Liabilities described in Section 1.151(a) or Seller Environmental Liabilities described in Section 1.151(d) (collectively, “Seller Indemnified Remedial Action or Environmental Noncompliance”) made after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that any written claim made with reasonable technical and legal specificity by the Purchaser prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date shall survive until such claim is finally and fully resolved.  No Losses may be claimed under Section 8.2 for any Excluded Liability that is a Seller Indemnified Remedial Action or Environmental Noncompliance unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses relating to Seller Indemnified Remedial Actions or Environmental Noncompliances exceeds $250,000, whereupon Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount of such Losses in excess of such amount.  The maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Seller arising out of or resulting from Seller Indemnified Remedial Actions or Environmental Noncompliances shall be an amount equal to $25 million.
(j)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller shall have no indemnification obligation or other Liability for any Losses, and such Losses shall not constitute Seller Environmental Liabilities, to the extent arising from or related to  the presence or any Releases of Hazardous Materials at, in, on or from the Manufacturing Facility or Owned Real Property located in Tyrone, Pennsylvania prior to the Closing Date;  the presence or any Releases of per- or polyfluoroalkyl compounds identified or described in Michigan Law or dioxane at, in, on or from any the Manufacturing Facility or Owned Real Property located in South Haven, Michigan prior to the Closing Date and any third-party tort or other third-party 
-94-

claims to the extent arising from or relating to the presence or any Releases of Hazardous Materials at, in, on or from the Manufacturing Facility or Owned Real Property located in South Haven, Michigan prior to the Closing Date as described in Section 1.151(a) of the definition of Seller Environmental Liabilities; or  any exposure prior to the Closing Date, other than (A) to any current or former employee of the Seller, to Hazardous Materials in connection with the Seller’s operation of the Business at any Manufacturing Facility or Owned Real Property or (B) to any Hazardous Material included in any product or material manufactured, marketed, sold or distributed prior to the Closing Date, by the Seller from any Manufacturing Facility or Owned Real Property or by the Business as described in Section 1.151(c) of the definition of Seller Environmental Liabilities; provided, however, (A) to the extent the Purchaser is unable to recover under the Pollution Policy for any Losses described in the foregoing clauses (i) or (iii) due to the Seller’s breach of the Pollution Policy, then the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser for such Losses to the same extent that such Losses would have been covered by the Pollution Policy but for the Seller’s breach; and (B) to the extent the Purchaser breaches the Pollution Policy and the Seller incurs any Losses that otherwise would have been covered by the Pollution Policy but for the Purchaser’s breach, then the Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller for such Losses. 
(k)Except as with respect to matters relating to any COVID Action, which are addressed elsewhere in this Agreement, any Liabilities arising from noncompliance with Environmental Laws in the operation of the Business that are identified within six months following the Closing Date shall be presumed to have occurred prior to the Closing Date such that such noncompliance constitutes a Seller Environmental Liability, which presumption shall be rebuttable by the Seller based on a preponderance of the evidence.
Section 8.8Subrogation.  Upon making any payment for Losses of an Indemnified Party under this Article VIII, the Seller, in the case of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, and the Purchaser, in the case of the Seller Indemnified Parties, will, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights (if any) of the Indemnified Party against any insurance policy with respect to the Loss for which the payment relates; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Seller be subrogated to any rights that a Purchaser Indemnified Party may have against any customer, client, supplier or other third party with whom the Business, the Seller or any of its Affiliates has a material business relationship.  In addition to any other obligation under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party agrees to duly execute and deliver, on behalf of the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the subrogation rights granted pursuant to this Section 8.8.

(a)by either the Seller or the Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of this Agreement (the “Termination Date”); provided, that (i) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(a) shall not be available to either such party whose breach of any representation or warranty hereunder or 
-95-

action or failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date, and (ii) neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(a) if the Pre-Closing IT Integration Completion has not yet occurred as of such time, unless the other party has failed to perform its obligations under Section 5.6(d) of this Agreement and such failure is not cured within five (5) Business Days of notice by the non-breaching party;
(b)by either the Seller or the Purchaser in the event that any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a Governmental Order that permanently enjoins or prohibits or renders illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or has resulted in, the issuance of such Governmental Order or other action;
(c)by the Seller if a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Closing) shall have occurred that would, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, cause the condition set forth in Section 7.1(a) not to be satisfied, and such breach is not cured, or is incapable of being cured, within 30 days (but no later than the Termination Date) of receipt of written notice by the Purchaser from the Seller of such breach; provided, that the Seller is not then in breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) not to be satisfied;
(d)by the Purchaser if a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Seller set forth in this Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Closing) shall have occurred that would, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, cause the condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) not to be satisfied, and such breach is not cured, or is incapable of being cured, within 30 days (but no later than the Termination Date) of receipt of written notice by the Seller from the Purchaser of such breach; provided, that the Purchaser is not then in breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) not to be satisfied; or
(e)by the written consent of the Seller and the Purchaser.
Any termination pursuant to this Section 9.1 (other than a termination pursuant to Section 9.1(e) hereof) shall be effected by written notice from the party so terminating to the other party, which notice shall specify the Section hereof pursuant to which this Agreement is being terminated.
Section 9.2Effect of Termination.  In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto or any of their respective Representatives; provided, that (a)  Section 5.3, this Section 9.2 and Article XI shall survive any termination; and (b)  nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any fraud occurring prior to such termination.

(a)The Seller acknowledges that, in view of the nature of the businesses of the Purchaser and the business objectives of the Purchaser in acquiring the Business, and the consideration paid to the Seller hereunder, the restrictions and covenants contained or referenced in this Article X are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Purchaser and that any violation of such restrictions will result in irreparable injury to the 
-97-

Purchaser, its Affiliates and the Business for which damages would not be an adequate remedy.  The Purchaser acknowledges that, in view of the nature of the businesses of the Seller and the business objectives of the Seller in selling the Business, the restrictions and covenants contained or referenced in this Article X are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Seller and that any violation of such restrictions will result in irreparable injury to the Seller, its Affiliates and their respective businesses for which damages would not be an adequate remedy.  The Seller and the Purchaser therefore acknowledge that, if any such restrictions or covenants are violated, the other party shall be entitled to preliminary and injunctive relief against the violating party as well to an equitable accounting of earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such violation without the posting of any bond or deposit with any Governmental Authority.
(b)If, at the time of enforcement of any covenant contained in this Article X, a court or other Governmental Authority shall hold that the duration, scope or geographic restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum duration, scope or geographic area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or geographic area and that the court or other Governmental Authority shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and geographic area permitted by Law.

Section 11.2Seller Disclosure Schedule.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Seller Disclosure Schedule, in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, the information and disclosures contained in any Section of the Seller Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in each other Section of the Seller Disclosure Schedule as though fully set forth in such other Section to the extent the relevance of such information to such other Section is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure notwithstanding the omission of a reference or a cross-reference with respect thereto and notwithstanding any reference to a Section of the Seller Disclosure Schedule in this Agreement.  Certain items and matters (other than matters required by a particular representation or warranty to be included in the Seller Disclosure Schedule) are listed in the Seller Disclosure Schedule for informational purposes only and may not be required to be listed therein by the terms of this Agreement.

-98-

representation or warranty to be included in the Seller Disclosure Schedule).  Without limiting the foregoing, no reference to, or disclosure of, a possible breach or violation of any contract or agreement, Law or Governmental Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

Section 11.4Public Announcements.  The initial press release in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be prepared by the Purchaser (and the Purchaser shall give the Seller a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon).  None of the parties to this Agreement shall make, or cause to be made, and each of the parties to this Agreement shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to make, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or otherwise communicate with any news media regarding this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (each, a “Public Announcement”) without the prior written consent of the other party (and shall consult with and give such other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon), unless such Public Announcement is required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, in which case the parties to this Agreement shall, to the extent practicable, consult with each other as to the timing and contents of any such Public Announcement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser, its Affiliates and its Representatives and the Seller, its Affiliates and its Representatives shall be entitled to make any Public Announcement without such consent to the extent such Public Announcement is consistent in all material respects with the initial press release.
Section 11.5Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is declared invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Governmental Authority, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
-100-

Section 11.6Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules, the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
Section 11.7No Setoff.  Obligations under this Agreement, including Article VIII, shall not be netted, recouped or set off against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under this Agreement, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of Law or otherwise, and no other obligations of the parties shall be netted, recouped or set off  against obligations under this Agreement, whether arising under the Agreement, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of Law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of setoff, netting or recoupment.
Section 11.8Assignment.  This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the express written consent of the Seller or the Purchaser (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Seller or the Purchaser), as the case may be, and any attempted assignment that is not in accordance with this Section 11.8 shall be null and void; provided, that the Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations hereunder without such consent to (i) any Affiliate of the Purchaser, (ii) any Subsidiary of the Purchaser or (iii) any lender, including any Financing Sources (or agent or representative thereof) for collateral purposes, which assignment shall not relieve the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.
Section 11.9Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Seller and the Purchaser that expressly references the Section of this Agreement to be amended; or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 11.10.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Section 5.13(b), Section 11.8, this Section 11.9, Section 11.11, Section 11.12(b), Section 11.13 and Section 11.14 and the definitions of “Debt Financing”, “Debt Financing Agreements” and “Financing Sources” (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment or modification of such provision would modify the substance of any such Section) may not be amended, modified or waived in a manner that adversely affects any Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Financing Source adversely affected thereby.
Section 11.10Waiver.  Any party to this Agreement may (a)  extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party; (b)  waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party pursuant to this Agreement; or (c)  waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other party or conditions to such obligations contained herein.  Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the parties to be bound thereby.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise of any other right hereunder.  Any waiver of any term or condition hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or as a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement.
-101-

Section 11.11No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, only the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to, or shall confer upon, any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Financing Source is an express third party beneficiary of Section 5.13(b), Section 11.8, Section 11.9, Section 11.11, Section 11.12(b), Section 11.13 and Section 11.14.
Section 11.12Specific Performance.  
(a)The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached and that any non-performance or breach of this Agreement by either party hereto could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone and that the parties hereto would not have any adequate remedy at Law.  Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which any party hereto may be entitled, at Law or in equity (including monetary damages), such party shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.
(b)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Seller (on behalf of itself, each of its Affiliates and Subsidiaries and any of their respective Representatives) hereby waives any rights or claims against the Financing Sources in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Financing, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise and the Seller (on behalf of itself, each of its Affiliates and Subsidiaries and any of their respective Representatives) agrees not to commence (and if commenced, agrees to dismiss or otherwise terminate) any Action against any Financing Source in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including any Action relating to the Debt Financing).  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, it is agreed that no Financing Source shall have any liability for any losses to the Seller or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries (or any of their respective Representatives or equityholders) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Nothing in this Section 11.12(b) shall in any way expand the circumstances in which the Purchaser may be liable under this Agreement or as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (including as a result of the Debt Financing).
Section 11.13Governing Law.  This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement or the Debt Financing shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law without giving effect to any other principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.  Except as provided in Section 2.11, each party hereto irrevocably agrees that it shall bring any and all Actions or proceedings in respect of any claim arising out of, related to, or in connection with, this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby, or the relationship between the parties hereto, whether in tort or contract or at law or in equity, exclusively in any New York State court sitting in the Borough 
-102-

of Manhattan (or in the case of claims where the federal courts have and accept jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York), and in each case, appellate courts therefrom, and consistent with the foregoing, each of the parties hereto hereby (a) submits (and agrees to cause its controlled affiliates to submit) to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court for the purpose of any Action, directly or indirectly, arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Financing brought by any party hereto; (b) agrees (and agrees to cause its controlled affiliates to submit) that service of process will be validly effected by sending notice in accordance with Section 11.3; (c) irrevocably waives and releases, and agrees not to assert or support (and agrees to cause its controlled affiliates to so waive, release and agree) by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in or with respect to any such Action, any claim, whether actual or potential, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, based upon past or future events, now existing or coming into existence in the future, that (A) such Action is not subject to the personal jurisdiction of such above-named courts; (B) its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution in the State of New York; (C) such Action is brought in an inconvenient forum; (D) that the venue of such Action is improper; or (E) this Agreement (including the Debt Financing) or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of such above-named courts; and (d) agrees not to move to transfer any such Action to a court other than any of the above-named courts.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Owned Real Property only, the laws of the state where the Owned Real Property is located shall control in connection with any matters relating to the Owned Real Property without giving effect to any other principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.
Section 11.14Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (AND AGREES TO CAUSE ITS CONTROLLED AFFILIATES TO WAIVE) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR LIABILITY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE DEBT FINANCING) OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR LIABILITY, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.14.
Section 11.15Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
