Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction, nor is the Company required to file any Tax Returns in any jurisdiction in which it has not done so. There are no Encumbrances for Taxes (other than for Taxes not yet due and

 (ix) take any action inconsistent with this Agreement or with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and 

(x) agree to do any of the things described in the preceding Sections 5.02(b)(i) through (ix). 
 5.03 Regulatory Approvals. Sellers shall provide evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that Sellers have obtained
all Governmental Authorizations (including any in connection with Environmental Laws) legally required in connection with this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, including evidence of the Company’s compliance
with any applicable Real Property transfer requirements or any voluntary cleanup agreements. 
 5.04 Necessary Consents. If the
assignment of any of the Purchased Assets requires the consent of any Third Parties pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, then Sellers will use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents and will take such other
actions as may be necessary or appropriate for Sellers to allow the consummation of the transactions provided for herein and to facilitate and allow the Purchaser to carry on the Business after the Closing Date, including, to the extent required by
applicable Environmental Law, the transfer, assignment, or securing of reissuance of any of the Environmental Permits and the provision of required notices, and the obtaining of any consents required to assign the Assumed Contracts and/or Assumed
Real Property to Purchaser, and such consents shall be in full force and effect. 
 5.05 Securities Laws. Sellers shall use all
reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser to the extent necessary to comply with applicable federal and state securities or “blue sky” laws or related laws of all jurisdictions applicable in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

any Governmental Authority initiated or threatened against Sellers relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets or for the purpose or with the effect of enjoining or preventing the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this

 32 

 
that, if adversely determined, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. If any Seller becomes subject to a review by the Internal
Revenue Service or any other Taxing agency or authority for periods prior to the Closing Date, and such review has the potential to materially affect the Liability of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for any Taxes due with respect to a Taxable
period ending after the Closing Date, Sellers shall keep Purchaser informed on a regular basis of the nature of such Proceedings and shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by Purchaser as to the conduct and settlement of such
Proceedings. In no event will Sellers enter into any settlement or other stipulation with respect to any such review without the written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

5.07 Employment Matters. 
 (a) The
Company agrees that, from and after the date hereof, Purchaser may offer employment, effective as of the Closing, to any Persons employed by the Company, which employment will become effective as of the Closing Date and only if the Closing occurs.
Only if the Closing occurs, any such Person who accepts such an offer of employment with Purchaser shall be a Transferred Employee and shall be employed by Purchaser on such terms and conditions as Purchaser and each such Transferred Employee
may mutually agree. Upon request of Purchaser, Sellers shall provide Purchaser reasonable access to data (including computer data) regarding the dates of hire, compensation, benefits, and job descriptions of the Transferred Employees. 
 (b) At Closing, Purchaser shall make available or establish such employee benefit plans, programs and policies for the benefit of the Transferred
Employees and their eligible dependents as Purchaser shall elect to make available to the Transferred Employees (the Purchaser Plans). With respect to participation in any Purchaser Plans, Purchaser shall credit (i) each Transferred
Employee with his or her service with the Company between the Petition Date and the Closing Date to the same extent such service would have been credited had such service been with Purchaser, up to the priority limits imposed by Section 507 of
the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) the Transferred Employees with all service recognized by the Company under the Employee Plans as service with Purchaser for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting under the Purchaser Plans, but not for
the purpose of benefit accruals, provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to require crediting of service that would result in duplication of benefits. Purchaser shall waive any coverage-waiting period, pre-existing condition, and
actively-at-work requirements under the Purchaser Plans to the extent such conditions or requirements have been satisfied under corresponding Employee Plans as of the Closing Date and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that any
eligible expenses incurred under the applicable Employee Plan before the Closing Date by a Transferred Employee (and his or her dependents) during the calendar year of the Closing and timely disclosed to Purchaser by such Transferred Employee in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Purchaser Plan shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the applicable deductible, coinsurance, and maximum out-of-pocket provisions, and applicable annual and/or lifetime
maximum benefit limitations of such applicable Purchaser Plan. 
  

 33 

 (c) The Company shall promptly notify Purchaser if any of the Company’s directors or officers
becomes aware that any of the key personnel set forth on Schedule 5.07(c) intends to leave the Company’s employ. 
 (d) Purchaser
shall adopt (i) the “standard procedure” for preparing and filing IRS Forms W-2 (Wage and Tax Statements), as described in Revenue Procedure 2004-53. Under this procedure, Purchaser, as the successor employer, shall provide Forms W-2
to all Transferred Employees reflecting all wages paid and taxes withheld by Purchaser as the successor employer for the portion of the calendar year beginning on the day after the Closing Date. The Company, as the predecessor employer, shall
provide Forms W-2 to all Transferred Employees reflecting all wages paid and taxes withheld by the Company for the portion of the calendar year beginning January 1, 2008 and ending on the Closing Date. Purchaser shall adopt the “standard
procedure” of Rev. Proc. 2004-53 for purposes of IRS Forms W-4 (Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate) and W-5 (Earned Income Credit Advance Payment Certificate). Under this procedure, Purchaser shall keep on file the Forms W-4 and
W-5 provided by the Transferred Employees for the period required by applicable Legal Requirements concerning record retention. Purchaser shall obtain new IRS Forms W-4 and W-5 with respect to each Transferred Employee. 
 (e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.07 are included for the sole benefit of the
parties hereto, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights (i) in any other Person, including any employee or former employee of the Company (including the
Transferred Employees), any participant in any employee benefit plan maintained by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (ii) to continued employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. 

5.08 Satisfaction of Closing Conditions. Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied all the
conditions precedent that are set forth in Article IX on or before the Closing Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement to be consummated and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to obtain all consents and authorizations of Third Parties and to make all filings with, and give all notices to, Third Parties that may be necessary or reasonably
required on their part in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 5.09 Change of Name. On or before the Closing Date,
the Company shall (a) amend its constitutive documents and take all other actions necessary to change its name to one sufficiently dissimilar to the Company’s present name, in Purchaser’s judgment, to avoid confusion; and
(b) take all actions requested by Purchaser to enable Purchaser to change its name to the Company’s present name. In addition, from and after the Effective Time, the Company shall not use its present name or any variation thereof.

 5.10 Access to Information. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective
Time and (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article XII, subject to the terms and conditions hereof relating to the confidentiality and use of confidential and proprietary information, and
subject to 

  

 34 

 
compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, Sellers will provide Purchaser and its representatives and agents with reasonable access, during regular
business hours, to the Assumed Real Property, files, books, records and offices of the Company, including any and all information relating to Taxes, commitments, Contracts, Leases, licenses, real, personal and intangible property (including any
Intellectual Property Rights), and financial condition. Sellers will cause their accountants to cooperate with Purchaser and its representatives and agents in making available all financial information reasonably requested, including the right to
examine all working papers pertaining to all financial statements prepared or audited by such accountants. 
 5.11 Casualty. If,
between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, any of the Purchased Assets shall be destroyed or damaged in whole or in part by fire, earthquake, flood, other casualty, or any other cause (Casualty), then Purchaser shall have the option
to: (a) acquire such Purchased Assets on an “as-is” basis and take an assignment from the Company of all insurance proceeds payable to the Company in respect of the Casualty, or (b) if Casualty would have a Material Adverse
Effect, terminate this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

material respect; (iii) any Breach of any covenant or obligation of the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any Purchaser Ancillary Agreement; (iv) any event, condition, fact or circumstance that may make the timely satisfaction of any

 ARTICLE VII 
 ADDITIONAL COVENANTS 
 7.01 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. 
 (a) Non-Competition. For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, neither Seller shall, anywhere in the world, directly or
indirectly invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, advise, or render services to, or guarantee the obligations of, any Person engaged in or planning to become engaged in the Business or any business that competes with the Business (a
Competing Business); provided, however, that Sellers may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) one percent (1%) of any class of the securities of any Person (but may not otherwise participate in the
activities of such Person) if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. 
 (b) Non-Solicitation. For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, neither Seller shall, directly or indirectly, (i) contact

such time as such Person has been separated from the Company or Purchaser, as applicable, for a period of one (1) year. 
 (c)
Modification of Covenant. If a Final Order of a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in Section 7.01(a) or (b) is invalid or unenforceable, then the parties
agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or
provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. This Section 7.01 will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within
which the judgment may be appealed. This Section 7.01 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Purchaser’s legitimate business interests and the value of the Purchased Assets and to prevent any unfair advantage being
conferred on Sellers. 
 7.02 Further Assurances. Sellers agree that if, at any time before or after the Effective Time, Purchaser
considers or is advised that any further deeds, assignments, assurances or other actions are reasonably necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm Purchaser’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, Sellers shall execute and deliver all
such proper deeds, assignments and assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary to vest, perfect or confirm title to such property or rights in Purchaser and take all such other lawful and reasonably necessary action to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement. In addition, from and after the Closing Date, Sellers agree that they will (i) remit to Purchaser all checks or payments received by them to which Purchaser is entitled in connection with Purchaser’s purchase of
the Purchased Assets or assumption of the Assumed Liabilities and (ii) collect any and all insurance proceeds arising from or relating to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities prior to the Effective Time and remit such sums directly

assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall execute and deliver all such proper instruments and assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary to confirm Purchaser’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, and take all such
other lawful and reasonably necessary action to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

party will return to the other party all copies of nonpublic documents and materials that have been furnished in connection therewith. Such documents, materials and information shall not be communicated to any Third Party (other than, in the case of
Purchaser, to its counsel, accountants, financial advisors or lenders, and in the case of Sellers, to their counsel, accountants or financial advisors). No other party shall use any confidential information in any manner whatsoever except solely for
the purpose of evaluating the proposed purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets; provided, 

  

 37 

 
however, that, after the Closing, Purchaser may use or disclose any confidential information included in the Purchased Assets or otherwise reasonably
related to the Purchased Assets or the business conducted therewith. The obligation of each party to treat such documents, materials and other information in confidence shall not apply to any information that (i) is or becomes available to such
party from a source other than such party, (ii) is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such party or its agents, (iii) is required to be disclosed under applicable law or judicial process, but only to

Enterprise Associates 12, L.P. and DESC shall be deemed incorporated herein as if set forth in full. To the extent Sellers are permitted to disclose the existence or terms of confidentiality agreements entered into by or on behalf of Sellers with
any Person in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, Sellers hereby assign to Purchaser, effective at the Closing, its rights under all such confidentiality agreements to the extent that such rights relate to Sellers. Copies of such
confidentiality agreements shall be provided to Purchaser on the Closing Date. 
 7.04 Accounts Receivable/Collections. After the
Closing, the Company shall permit, and hereby authorizes, Purchaser to collect, in the name of the Company, all Accounts Receivable constituting part of the Purchased Assets and to endorse with the name of the Company for deposit in Purchaser’s
account any checks or drafts received in payment thereof. The Company shall promptly deliver to Purchaser any cash, checks or other property that it may receive after the Closing in respect of any Accounts Receivable or other asset constituting part
of the Purchased Assets.

 8.02 Other Filings. The parties agree that, based upon the current facts known to them,
no Other Filings (as hereinafter defined) are required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Other Filings are required, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, each of Sellers and Purchaser will prepare and file any
other filings required to be filed by them under the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or any other federal, state or foreign laws relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the Other Filings). Sellers and Purchaser each

the Bankruptcy Court and pursuant to the Executory Contract Assumption and Assignment Order, the Assumed Contracts 

  

 38 

 
will be assumed by Sellers and assigned to Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee on the Closing Date under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. In the
Sale Motion, or in such additional or subsequent motions as may be appropriate, Sellers will seek authority to assume and assign the Assumed Contracts to Purchaser (or Purchaser’s designee) in accordance with Section 365 of the Bankruptcy
Code. All Assumed Contracts shall be assigned to and assumed by Purchaser (or Purchaser’s designee) at the Closing. Subject to the following right of Sellers to reject any Contract, the final determination of which Contracts Sellers will assume
and assign to Purchaser shall be within the sole discretion of Purchaser. At the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for paying all Assumed Cure Amounts and the Company shall be responsible for paying any cure amounts in excess of the Assumed
Cure Amounts out of Purchase Price proceeds. 
 (b) Rejected Contracts. Sellers shall consult with Purchaser about any Rejected
Contract Sellers seek to reject and consider in good faith Purchaser’s opinions on any such rejection, in recognition of Purchaser’s bona fide interest in preserving to the maximum extent possible the Contracts that Purchaser

Sellers believe must be rejected to maintain the viability of the Business prior to the Closing Date or to comply with any order of the Bankruptcy Court. 
 8.04 Bankruptcy Court Approval. 
 (a) Sellers shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
Bankruptcy Court approval of the Sale Order which, among other things, will contain findings of fact and conclusions of law (i) finding that this Agreement was proposed by the parties in good faith and represents the highest and best offer for
the Purchased Assets; (ii) finding that Purchaser is a good faith purchaser under Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code and that the provisions of Section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code have not been violated; (iii) authorizing

liability as a successor to the Business; (iv) authorizing and directing Sellers to execute, deliver, perform under, consummate and implement, this Agreement, together with all additional instruments and documents that may be reasonably
necessary or desirable to implement the foregoing; (v) finding that Purchaser is not a successor in interest to Sellers or otherwise liable for any Retained Liability, (vi) finding that Purchaser’s acquisition of the Purchased Assets
and assumption of the Assumed Liabilities does not reflect a significant continuity of the business of Sellers and permanently enjoins each and every holder of a Retained Liability from commencing, continuing or otherwise pursuing or enforcing any
remedy, claim or cause of action against Purchaser relative to such Retained Liability; (vii) finding that the sale of the Purchased Assets does not constitute a sub rosa plan of reorganization; and (viii) directing Sellers, at the
direction of the Purchaser, to immediately consummate the sale of the Purchased Assets without awaiting the expiration of any applicable time period for appealing the Sale Order. 
  

 39 

 (b) Sellers shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval of the

 (e) In the event an appeal is taken, or a stay pending appeal is requested, from the Sale Order, or the Executory Contract Assumption and Assignment
Order, Sellers shall immediately notify Purchaser of such appeal or stay request and shall provide to Purchaser within one (1) business day a copy of the related notice of appeal or order of stay. Sellers shall also provide Purchaser with

 8.08
Certain Tax Matters. 
 (a) Cooperation. Purchaser and Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers,
employees, agent, auditors and representatives reasonably to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Business and the Purchased Assets (including

(collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) which may be payable by reason of the transfer of the Purchased Assets shall by borne and timely paid by Purchaser when due, and Purchaser shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns
and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required, Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. Sellers shall prepare and file in a timely
manner, all applicable forms and returns necessary to allow the transfer of the Purchased Assets on the Closing Date to be exempt, to the extent possible under applicable Legal Requirements, from the payment of Transfer Taxes. 
 (c) Apportionment of Taxes. Except as provided in Section 8.08(b): 
 (i) Sales and use Taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets relating to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned in the following manner: the amount of
sales and use Taxes allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period or Post-Closing Tax Period included in the Straddle Period shall be determined by closing the books of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date and by treating each of
such Pre-Closing Tax Period and Post-Closing Tax Period as a separate taxable year. 
 (ii) Property Taxes relating to a Straddle Period
shall be apportioned in the following manner: the amount of Property Taxes allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period included in a Straddle Period shall be equal to the total amount of such Property Taxes for the Straddle Period multiplied by a

Post-Closing Tax Period included in a Straddle Period shall be equal to the total amount of Property Taxes for the Straddle Period less the amount of Property Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period included in the Straddle Period.

 (iii) Sellers shall be liable for (and shall promptly reimburse Purchaser to the extent Purchaser shall have paid) that portion of sales,
use and Property Taxes relating to, or arising in respect of, Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

Compliance with Law. There shall be no Order by any Governmental Authority, or any other fact or circumstance, that would prohibit or render illegal the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 10.04 Government Consents; No Injunction. There shall have been obtained at or prior to the Closing Date such permits or authorizations, and there
shall have been taken such other actions, as may be required to consummate the sale of Purchased Assets by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the parties and the actions herein proposed to be taken, including but not limited to
satisfaction of all requirements under applicable federal and state securities or “blue sky” laws. 
 10.05 Third-Party
Consents; Assignments; Other Documents. If the assignment of any of the Purchased Assets requires the consent of any Third Parties pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, then Sellers shall have obtained, and Purchaser shall have
received from Sellers duly executed copies of all material Third-Party consents, approvals, assignments, waivers, authorizations, permits or other certificates set forth on Schedule 3.03(b) and such consents shall be in full force and
effect. 
 10.06 Absence of Litigation. No litigation or proceeding shall be pending that could reasonably be expected to have the

 10.07 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]. 
 10.08 Sale Order. The Bankruptcy Court shall have entered, not later than July 31, 2008, in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser,
the Sale Order, and the Sale Order shall have thereafter become a Final Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Sellers from consummating the transactions contemplated herein if Purchaser, in its sole
discretion, waives the requirement that the Sale Order shall have become a Final Order. No notice of such waiver of this condition or any other condition to the Closing need be given except to Sellers, it being the intention of the parties hereto
that Purchaser shall be entitled to, and is not waiving, the protection of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, the mootness doctrine and any similar statute or body of law if the Closing occurs in the absence of the Sale Order becoming a
Final Order. 
 10.09 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED] 
 10.10 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

stockholders of each Seller; 
 (g) certificates of the duly authorized President or Vice President or similar officer of the Company

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 INDEMNITY 
 11.01 Indemnification. From and after the Closing Date,
Sellers (each, an Indemnifying Party), jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, and their respective stockholders, partners, members, directors, officers, employees and other agents and
representatives from and against any and all direct and indirect liabilities, judgments, claims, suits, proceedings, settlements, losses, damages, fees, Encumbrances, Taxes, penalties, interest obligations, expenses (including costs of investigation
and defense and reasonable attorney and other professional advisor and consulting fees and expenses) (collectively, Losses) incurred or suffered by Purchaser or any such Person (each, an Indemnified Party) arising from, by reason of
or, in connection with (a) any misrepresentation or breach or alleged misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or any certificate or other document or agreement delivered by the
Company pursuant to this Agreement or (b) the nonfulfillment by the Company or DESC of any covenant or agreement made by the Company or DESC in this Agreement or any document or agreement delivered in connection with this Agreement. 

11.02 Proceedings. 
 (a) The
Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party of the assertion of its claim for indemnity, including the commencement of any Proceeding by any third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought (a Third Party
Claim). The failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

  

 45 

 (b) The Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable whether the
Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the claim described in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 11.02(a) and/or whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to
be responsible for payment of all Losses arising with respect to the claim and to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim described therein. 
 (c) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 11.02, then the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the control of the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.02, and if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party
will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in defending or settling the Third Party Claim the defense or settlement of which the Indemnifying Party elects to control, including by furnishing or causing to be furnished such records,
information and testimony, and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith, and, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making
any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-claim against any Person; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim if the settlement does not provide for full indemnity of and/or release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to
such Third Party Claim, the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or the settlement could adversely affect the Tax liability of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates
for any post-Closing taxable period (or portion thereof). The Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel of its choice at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party to represent it in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third
Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 11.02. 
 11.03 Adjustment. The parties to this
Agreement agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by any Legal Requirement. 
 11.04 Survival. No claim may be made or suit instituted seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 11.01 unless a written notice is
provided to the Indemnifying Party at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (EST) on the date which is six (6) months after the Closing Date. 
 11.05 Holdback Amount. All claims for indemnification against Sellers shall be satisfied by retaining amounts included in the Holdback Amount and the total indemnification obligations of Sellers for claims for indemnification
pursuant to Section 11.01 shall not exceed the Holdback Amount.

 ARTICLE XII 
 TERMINATION 
 12.01 Termination of Agreement. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement abandoned, upon
notice by the terminating party to the other parties: 
 (i) at any time before the Closing, by mutual written consent of Purchaser and
Sellers; 
 (ii) at any time before the Closing, by Purchaser on the one hand, or Sellers on the other hand, in the event of material Breach
of this Agreement by the non-terminating party or if the satisfaction of any condition to such party’s obligations under this Agreement becomes impossible or impracticable with the use of commercially reasonable efforts and the failure of such
condition to be satisfied is not caused by a Breach by the terminating party; 
 (iii) at any time after August 15, 2008, by either
party if the Transaction has not been consummated on or before such date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.01(a)(iii) shall not be available to a party if such
party’s failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the proximate cause of the failure of the Closing Date to have occurred on or prior to such date; or 
 (iv) by Purchaser if both the Sale Order and the Executory Contract Assumption and Assignment Agreement shall not have been entered by August 15,
2008 (but only if Purchaser exercises such right to terminate within five (5) Business Days thereafter). 
 (b) If this Agreement is
validly terminated pursuant to this Section 12.01, this Agreement will be null and void, and there will be no Liability on the part of any party (or any of their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents, consultants or
other representatives) except that Sellers’ obligations under Sections 12.01(c) and (e) and Purchaser’s obligations under Section 12.01(d) shall survive any termination and shall apply thereafter to the
extent applicable and as set forth herein. 
 (c) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, other than a termination by Sellers
pursuant to Section 12.01(a)(ii) as a result of a material Breach by Purchaser, the Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit and any accrued interest thereon to Purchaser. 
 (d) If this Agreement is terminated by Sellers pursuant to Section 12.01(a)(ii) as a result of a material Breach by Purchaser, the Escrow
Agent shall deliver the Deposit and any accrued interest thereon to the Company, which shall, upon such delivery of the Deposit, constitute complete settlement, accord and satisfaction of liquidated damages for any such Breach; Sellers shall have no
other recourse against Purchaser in the event of any Breach by Purchaser. 
  

 47 

 (e) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]. 
 (f) Upon any termination of this Agreement, Sellers’ retention of the Deposit, pursuant to this Section 12.01 shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy of the Sellers for any termination hereof. 
 ARTICLE XIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 13.01 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary
Agreements and the Disclosure Schedules hereto constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings, inducements or
conditions, express or implied, written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance or usage of trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

 13.02 Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of any party under this Agreement shall not be
assignable by such party hereto without the prior written consent of the others, except that any rights and obligations of Purchaser hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part from time to time to an Affiliate of Purchaser without the consent of
any other parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The successors and permitted assigns hereunder shall include, in the case of Purchaser, any
permitted assignee as well as the successors in interest to such permitted assignee (whether by merger, liquidation or otherwise). 
 13.03
No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provisions of this Agreement are intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any client, customer, affiliate, stockholder,
partner, employee of any party hereto or any other Person unless specifically provided otherwise herein, and, except as so provided, all provisions hereof will be personal solely between the parties to this Agreement. 
 13.04 No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed or construed as creating a joint venture or partnership between the
parties hereto. No party is by virtue of this Agreement authorized as an agent, employee or legal representative of any other party. No party will have the power to control the activities and operations of any other, and the parties’ status is,
and at all times, will continue to be, that of independent contractors with respect to each other. No party will have any power or authority to bind or commit any other. No party will hold itself out as having any authority or relationship in
contravention of this Section 13.04. 
 13.05 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application
thereof, is for any reason held to any extent to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to affect the intent of the
parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the void or
unenforceable provision. 
  

 48 

 13.06 Section Headings. A reference to an Article, Section or Schedule will mean an Article or
Section in, or a Schedule to, this Agreement, unless otherwise explicitly set forth. The titles and headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not in any manner limit the construction of this Agreement. For the purposes of
such construction, this Agreement will be considered as a whole. 
 13.07 Amendment, Extension and Waivers. At any time prior to the
Effective Time, Purchaser and Sellers may, to the extent legally allowed: (a) extend the time for performance of any of the obligations of the other party; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party
contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements, covenants or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended.
Any agreement to any amendment, extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in writing and signed by the party to be bound. The waiver by a party of any Breach hereof or default in the performance hereof will not be deemed to constitute a
waiver of any other default or any succeeding Breach or default. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions hereof will not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such party thereafter to enforce such provisions. This Agreement
may be amended by the parties hereto at any time. 
 13.08 Public Announcement. Except to the extent required to comply with
Article X hereof, no party hereto shall issue any press release or otherwise make any statements to any Third Party with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby other than with the prior written consent of the
other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Prior to the issuance of any announcement of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by any party, such party will consult with the other parties regarding
the content of such announcement and obtain such other parties’ reasonable approval of such press release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may issue such announcements, and make such other disclosures regarding this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, as it determines are required under applicable Legal Requirements or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly traded securities. 
 13.09 Governing Law. The validity of this Agreement the construction of its terms, and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties
of the parties to this Agreement will be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York as applied to agreements entered into solely between residents of and to be performed entirely in the State
of New York, without reference to that body of law relating to conflicts of law or choice of law. 
 13.10 Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of
Jury Trial. 
 (a) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees that the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear
and determine any claims or disputes between the parties hereto pertaining directly or indirectly to this Agreement, and all documents, instruments and agreements executed pursuant hereto or thereto, or to any matter arising herefrom (unless
otherwise expressly provided for herein or therein). To the extent permitted by law, each party hereby expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or proceeding commenced by any of the other parties hereto in any of
such courts, and agrees that 

  

 49 

 
service of such summons and complaint or other process or papers may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at the address to which
notices are to be sent pursuant to this Agreement. Each of the parties waives any claim that the Bankruptcy Court is an inconvenient forum or an improper forum based on lack of venue. The choice of forum set forth in this Section 13.10
shall not be deemed to preclude the enforcement of any judgment obtained in such forum or the taking of any action to enforce the same in any other appropriate jurisdiction. 
 (b) Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect
of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each party hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that any
other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and
certifications in this Section 13.10. 
 13.11 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be
given under this Agreement will be in writing, will be delivered personally or by mail or express delivery, postage prepaid, and will be deemed given upon actual delivery or, if mailed by registered or certified mail, on the third business day

 10.3 Other Expenses. Customer will reimburse Service Provider for those reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Service Provider solely in connection with its performance of the Services and not included in the Charges; provided, however, that such out-of-pocket expenses will not include payments to third parties for items that were
routinely incurred by Service Provider prior to the Effective Date (such as for overhead and utilities, supplies, and the like) and provided further that Service Provider will consult with Customer prior to incurring any out of pocket expense which
is outside the ordinary course of the business related to the Services.  
 10.4 Taxes. In addition to the amounts
described in Sections 10.1 through 10.3, Customer shall pay, and hold Service Provider harmless against, all sales, use or other Taxes, or other fees or assessments imposed by Law in connection with the provision of the Services, other
than any income or franchise Taxes. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Customer shall apply for and use its best efforts to obtain and thereafter maintain, and timely provide to Service Provider, a direct pay permit. Customer shall
also provide Service Provider with timely resale or other applicable exemption certificates. Service Provider and Customer shall cooperate with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the other in entering into such arrangements
as the other may reasonably request in order to minimize, to the extent lawful and feasible, the payment or assessment of any Taxes relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, where appropriate, requiring their Affiliates
within a country to enter into a companion Contract for purchase of Services within such country; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.4 shall obligate Service Provider to cooperate with, or assist, Customer

  

 13 

 
in any arrangement proposed by Customer that would, in Service Provider’s reasonable discretion, have a detrimental effect on Service Provider or any of
Service Provider’s Affiliates. 
 10.5 Invoicing and Payment. Service Provider will invoice Customer monthly. Payment is due
thirty (30) days following the date of invoice. Payments past due shall bear interest calculated on a per annum basis from the due date to the date of actual payment at a fluctuating interest rate equal at all times to the prime rate of
interest announced publicly from time to time by Citibank, N.A. (or its successor or another major money center commercial bank agreed to by the Parties), plus three percent (3%), but in no case higher than the maximum rate permitted by Law.
Customer shall make payments under this Agreement by electronic funds transfer in accordance with payment instructions provided by Service Provider from time to time. In the event the Parties’ Affiliates enter into companion Contracts for the
Services, Customer will remain responsible for paying any amounts which are not paid when due by Customer’s Affiliates under such companion Contracts. 
  

	11.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

 11.1
Authority. Each Party represents and warrants to the other that: (i) it has all requisite legal and corporate power to execute and deliver this Agreement; (ii) it has taken all corporate action necessary for the authorization,
execution and delivery of this Agreement; (iii) no Contract with any other person, firm, corporation or other entity exists or will exist which would interfere with its obligations hereunder; and (iv) this Agreement is a legal, valid and
binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Party’s warranty in clause (iii) above is subject to the obtainment of all Required Consents. 
 11.2 Compliance with Laws. Each Party represents and warrants that it is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing in
every jurisdiction in which a license or other qualification is required for the conduct of its business, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would have no material adverse effect on its ability to fulfill its obligations under
this Agreement. 
 11.3 Standard of Performance; Standard of Care. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or any SOW, the
Services will be performed initially in substantially the same manner that the Services were generally performed by Service Provider for the Customer business immediately prior to the Effective Date, and thereafter will continue to be performed in
substantially the same manner as Service Provider generally performs such services for its own retained businesses, except to the extent the Services are limited or changed to reflect the separation of Customer’s and Service Provider’s
businesses as contemplated by the Separation Agreement. In no event will Service Provider be required to make any customization to the Services (or Service Provider’s associated systems or processes) that are unique to Customer, beyond the
customizations that Service Provider elects to make to support its own shared services environment. Service Provider reserves the right to make changes to the Services in the ordinary course of business including with respect to Service
Provider’s planned maintenance activities. The provision of the Services will be subject, in all cases, to Customer’s compliance in all material respects with Service Provider’s then-current work processes, policies and procedures for
the Services and in compliance with all material Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Provider has no obligation to perform its obligations pursuant to this Section in a manner that exceeds Service Provider’s past practices, policies
and procedures for Services. 

  

 14 

 
Nothing in this Agreement shall require Service Provider or any of its Affiliates to perform the Services in a manner that would constitute a violation of
applicable Laws. 
 11.4 Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 11, SERVICE PROVIDER MAKES NO, AND HEREBY
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND THOSE ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. 
  

	12.	INSURANCE

injury, death and property damage combined single limit of not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate. Each policy of insurance to be maintained hereunder shall name the other Party, including its Affiliates, and the officers,
directors and employees of each, as additional insureds. 
 In addition, both Parties shall maintain in full force and effect during the Term
the following insurance coverage: 
 (i) Comprehensive Automobile Liability insurance covering owned, hired and non-owned

 12.2 Policies. Upon the written
request of Customer, Service Provider will cause its insurers to issue certificates of insurance evidencing that the coverages and policy endorsements required under this Agreement are in force. 
 12.3 Risk of Loss. Service Provider shall be responsible for the risk of loss of, or damage to, any property of Customer or the other Recipients
at a Service Provider Facility, unless such loss or damage was caused by the acts or omissions of Customer or an agent of Customer. Customer shall be responsible for the risk of loss of, or damage to, any property of Service Provider and its
Affiliates and subcontractors at a Customer Facility unless such loss or damage was caused by the acts or omissions of Service Provider or an agent of Service Provider. 
  

	13.	INDEMNITIES, PROCEDURES AND LIMITATIONS. 

 13.1
Indemnification by Customer. Customer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Service Provider and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers and employees (the “Service Provider Parties”), from and against
any and all claims, losses, demands, damages, liabilities, costs, judgments and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) as set forth below: 
  

 15 

 (a) any claim by any Affiliate of Customer, or a Customer third party contractor
asserting rights under this Agreement (other than an express right of indemnification under this Section 13) or direct or indirect purchasers of Customer’s products or products of Customer’s Affiliates; and 
 (b) any third party arising out of: 
 (i) Customer’s failure to observe or perform any duties or obligations to be observed or performed after the Effective Date under any of the third party Software licenses, Equipment leases or other Contracts to
the extent Customer is financially or operationally responsible for such compliance under this Agreement;

 (iii) Infringement or misappropriation or alleged infringement or alleged misappropriation of a patent, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights arising from Software or materials that Customer provides for Service
Provider’s use in connection with the Services; provided, however, that Customer shall not have any obligation or liability to the extent any infringement or misappropriation is caused by: (1) modifications made by Service
Provider or its Subcontractors, without the knowledge or approval of Customer or the unauthorized use by Service Provider or its Subcontractors of such Software outside the scope of the Services; (2) Service Provider’s combination of
Customer’s Software or materials with items not furnished, specified or reasonably anticipated by Service Provider or contemplated by this Agreement; (3) the failure of Service Provider to use corrections or modifications provided by
Customer for the infringing Software or materials; or (4) third party Software or materials, except to the extent that such infringement or misappropriation arises from Customer’s failure to perform its obligations with regard to obtaining
a Required Consent; 
 (iv) Taxes, together with interest and penalties, that are the responsibility of Customer under
Section 10.4; or 
 (vii) personal injury to employees of Customer or its Affiliates (or any other entity(ies)
designated by Customer) while at Service Provider’s facility to receive Services under this Agreement, to the extent such Losses do not result from the negligence of Service Provider. 
 13.2 Indemnification by Service Provider. Service Provider agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Customer and its Affiliates and their
respective directors, officers and employees (the “Customer Parties”), from and against any and all Losses set forth below: 
 (a) any claim by a Service Provider Affiliate or Subcontractor asserting rights under this Agreement (other than an express right of indemnification under this Section 13). 
 (b) any third party claim arising out of: 
 (i) Service Provider’s failure to observe or perform any duties or obligations to be observed or performed after the Effective Date under any of the third party Software licenses, Equipment leases or third party
Contracts to the extent Service Provider is 

  

 16 

 
financially or operationally responsible for such compliance under this Agreement, provided that such failure does not arise from or relate to any failure by
Customer to obtain a Required Consent which is Customer’s responsibility pursuant to this Agreement; 
 (ii) Service
Provider’s breach of its obligations under Article 9 with respect to Customer’s Confidential Information; 
 (iii) Infringement or misappropriation or alleged infringement or alleged misappropriation of a patent, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights arising from Software or materials that Service Provider provides for
Customer’s use in connection with the Services; provided, however, that Service Provider shall not have any obligation or liability to the extent any infringement or misappropriation is caused by: (1) modifications made by
Customer or its contractors or users, without the knowledge or approval of Service Provider or the unauthorized use by Customer or its Subcontractors of such Software outside the scope of the Services; (2) Customer’s combination of Service
Provider’s Software or materials with items not furnished, specified or reasonably anticipated by Customer or contemplated by this Agreement; (3) the failure of Customer to use corrections or modifications provided by Service Provider for
the infringing Software or materials; or (4) third party Software or materials; 
 (iv) Taxes, together with interest and
penalties, that are the responsibility of Service Provider under Section 10.4; or 
 (v) personal injury to
employees of Service Provider or its Affiliates while at facilities of Customer to provide Services under this Agreement, to the extent such Claims do not result from the negligence of Customer. 
 13.3 Reductions For Insurance Proceeds And Other Recoveries. 
 (a) Insurance Proceeds. The amount that any Indemnifying Party is or may be required to provide indemnification to or on behalf of
any Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 13.1 or 13.2, as applicable, will be reduced (retroactively or prospectively) by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered from unaffiliated third-parties (and excluding any
captive insurance companies of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates) by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party in respect of the related Claims (net of any corresponding increase in premium payments or other related increases in insurance
expenses of the Indemnified Party). The existence of a claim by an Indemnified Party for monies from an insurer or against a third-party in respect of any indemnifiable Claims will not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification
provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party. Rather, the Indemnifying Party will make payment in full of the amount determined to be due and owing by it against an assignment by the Indemnified
Party to the Indemnifying Party of the entire claim of the Indemnified Party for Insurance Proceeds or against such third-party. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the Parties that no insurer or any other
third-party will be (i) entitled to a “wind-fall” or other benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions or otherwise have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, or
(ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated. 
 (b) Tax Detriment/Tax
Benefit. The amount that any Indemnifying Party is or may be required to provide indemnification to or on behalf of any Indemnified Party pursuant to 

  

 17 

 
Sections 13.1 or 13.2, as applicable, will be (i) decreased to take into account any Tax benefit actually realized by the
Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof) arising from the incurrence or payment of the relevant indemnified item, and (ii) increased to take into account any Tax cost actually incurred by the Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof)
arising from the receipt of the relevant indemnity payment. Any indemnity payment hereunder will initially be made without regard to this Section 13.3(b) and will be reduced or increased to reflect any applicable Tax benefit or Tax cost,
as the case may be, within 30 days after the Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof) realizes such Tax benefit or incurs such Tax cost by way of a Refund, an increase in Taxes or otherwise. The Indemnified Party will, within 30 days after the
Indemnified Party (or its Affiliate) realizes or incurs the applicable Tax benefit or cost, provide the Indemnitee with notice thereof and supporting documentation addressing, in reasonable detail, the amount of any reduction or increase in Taxes of
the Indemnified Party (or its Affiliate), the parties will promptly make any payments necessary to reflect the relevant reduction or increase in Tax liability, and the parties agree to adjust the amount of any such payments within 30 days after a
Final Determination affecting the amount of the relevant Tax benefit or Tax cost. 
 13.4 Indemnification Procedure. The Party or
Parties making a claim for indemnification under Section 13.1 or Section 13.2 (collectively, “Third-Party Claims”) shall be, for the purposes of this Agreement, referred to as the
“Indemnitee” and the Party against which such claims are asserted under this Section 13 shall be, for the purposes of this Section 13, referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. All Third-Party
Claims by any Indemnitee under this Section 13 shall be asserted and resolved as follows: 
 (a) If an Indemnitee
receives notice or otherwise learns of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the Service Provider Group or Customer Group of any Third-Party Claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any
Action with respect to a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnitee will give such Indemnifying Party prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”) thereof but in any event within 15 calendar days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim.
Any such notice will describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 13.4(a) will not relieve the
related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 13, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such delay or failure to give notice. 
 (b) The Indemnifying Party has the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnitee within 30 days after receipt of a Claim Notice
from the Indemnitee of the commencement of an Action or assertion of any Third-Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 13, to assume and conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with
the limits set forth in this Agreement with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that the (A) defense of such Third-Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party will
not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee, (x) if Service Provider is the Indemnifying Party, affect Customer or any of its Controlled Affiliates in a materially adverse manner, and (y) if Customer is the Indemnifying Party, affect
Service Provider or any of its Controlled Affiliates in a materially adverse manner; (B) the Third-Party Claim solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages and/or equitable relief (with or without monetary damages) which equitable
relief would not reasonably be expected to affect in any material and adverse respect the operations of (x) Service Provider or its Controlled Affiliates, if Customer is the Indemnifying Party, or (y) Customer or its Controlled Affiliates,
if 

  

 18 

 
Service Provider is the Indemnifying Party; and (C) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees with the Indemnitee in writing to be fully responsible for
all of the Losses that arise from the Third-Party Claim (the conditions set forth in clauses (A) through (C) are, collectively, the “Litigation Conditions”). For purposes of clause (C) of the preceding sentence, if a
Third-Party Claim consists of multiple claims by a plaintiff or group of plaintiffs, and it is reasonably practicable for an Indemnifying Party to control the defense of a subset of the such claims, the Indemnifying Party may elect to agree to be
fully responsible for only all of the Losses that arise from such subset of claims, and may elect to control the defense of only such subset of claims, provided that the other Litigation Conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of the
preceding sentence are satisfied. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 13.4(b), the Indemnitee may continue to defend the Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying
Party has assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim as provided in this Section 13.4(b), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of the
Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that if (x) any of the Litigation Conditions ceases to be met or (y) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim, the
Indemnitee may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnitee, as the case may be, has the right to
participate in (but, subject to the prior sentence, not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third-Party Claim that the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any
Third-Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a complete release from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitee has the right to settle any Third-Party Claim, the defense of
which has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party, with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice under this Section 13, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall grant the Indemnifying Party and its representatives all
reasonable access to the books, records and properties of such Indemnitee to the extent reasonably related to the matters to which the Claim Notice relates. All such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted under
conditions that will not unreasonably interfere with the businesses and operations of such Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party will not, and shall cause its representatives not to, use (except in connection with such Claim Notice or such Third-Party
Claim) or disclose to any third person or entity other than the Indemnifying Party’s representatives (except as may be required by Laws) any information obtained pursuant to this Section 13.3(c), which is designated as confidential
by the Indemnitee. 
 (d) With respect to any Third-Party Claim for which Customer or Service Provider may have liability
under this Agreement, the Parties agree to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve the attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect thereto) so as to minimize such liabilities and
defense costs associated therewith. The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of such Third-Party Claims will, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may retain counsel to
monitor or assist in the defense of such claims at its own cost. 
  

 19 

 13.5 Limitations on Liability. 
 (a) Subject to the specific provisions and limitations of this Section 13.4 and this Section 13.5, it is the
intent of the Parties that each Party shall be liable to the other Party for any Losses as to which it is entitled to indemnification under Sections 13.1 and 13.2 and, with respect to a breach of the Agreement for any Losses with
respect to Direct Claims under Section 5.6 resulting from a breaching Party’s unexcused failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to Direct Claims, “Losses” will
not include attorneys’ fees or other arbitration or litigation expenses (including without limitation experts’ fees and administrative costs) incurred in connection with the prosecution of such Direct Claim under the provisions set forth
in Article 6 of the Separation Agreement. 
 (b) Except for Losses arising out of or relating to (i) Service
Provider’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of Article 9, or (ii) claims covered by Service Provider’s indemnity obligations set forth in Section 13.2(b), the total aggregate liability of Service
Provider for breach of this Agreement shall be limited to $6,000,000. 
 (c) Except for Losses arising out of or relating to
(i) Customer’s obligation to pay the Charges due under this Agreement, gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of Article 9, or (ii) claims covered by Customer’s indemnity obligations set forth in
Section 13.1(b), the total aggregate liability of Customer for breach of this Agreement shall be limited to $6,000,000. 
 (d) Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses for which it seeks recourse hereunder, including by promptly pursuing recovery under available insurance policies, provided, however, that the
failure of such Party to successfully mitigate such Losses shall not affect such Party’s right to seek recourse with respect to such Losses so long as such Party shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate. 
 (e) EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE TO
ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ITS AFFILIATES FOR EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE (OR FAILURE TO PERFORM) HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR SUCH PARTY HAD BEEN APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD THEREOF. 
 (f) Regardless of any other rights under any other agreements or mandatory provisions of Law, neither Service Provider nor Customer shall
have the right to set-off the amount of any Loss it may have under this Agreement, whether contingent or otherwise, against any amount owed by such Party to the other Party, whether under this Agreement or otherwise. 
 13.6 Indemnification and Limitations on Liability Relating to Negligence and Strict Liability. ALL INDEMNITIES AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY
CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 13 SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT THE INDEMNITEE OR PARTY CLAIMING DAMAGES WAS OR IS CLAIMED TO BE PASSIVELY, CONCURRENTLY OR ACTIVELY NEGLIGENT, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER LIABILITY WITHOUT 

  

 20 

 FAULT IS IMPOSED OR SOUGHT TO BE IMPOSED ON SUCH INDEMNITEE OR PARTY. 
 13.7 Waiver of Subrogation. Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its insurers to waive their rights of subrogation
against Customer with respect to any Losses. Likewise, Customer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its insurers to waive their rights of subrogation against Service Provider with respect to any Loss. 
  

	14.	TERMINATION 

 14.1 Termination Rights.

 (a) Termination for Cause. In addition to, and not in limitation of, any other termination rights set forth in this
Agreement, either Party may, by giving written notice to the other Party, terminate this Agreement if such other Party commits a material breach of this Agreement (a “Default”) which Default is not cured within ten (10) days
after notice of the Default. For purposes hereof, non-payment by Customer shall be deemed a Default. 
 (b) Termination for
Convenience. Customer may terminate this Agreement or any individual Service (including any individual Service within a “Service Bundle” set forth in Schedule C), if such individual Service(s) can be segregated from the other
Services that will continue to be provided, at any time by giving Service Provider at least sixty (60) days prior written notice designating the termination date. Upon any such termination for convenience, Customer will remain liable for fees
and expenses for all properly performed Services up to the effective date of termination. 
 (c) For Insolvency. If
either Party (i) files for bankruptcy, (ii) becomes or is declared insolvent, or is the subject of any proceedings (not dismissed within sixty (60) days) related to its liquidation, insolvency or the appointment of a receiver or
similar officer for Service Provider, (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of all or substantially all of its creditors, (iv) takes any corporate action for its winding-up, dissolution or administration, or (v) enters into a
Contract for the extension or readjustment of substantially all of its obligations, then the other Party may terminate this Agreement for cause as of a date specified in a written termination notice. 
 14.2 Termination for Non-Payment. Service Provider may, upon written notice to Customer, terminate this Agreement if Customer has failed to pay
any undisputed charges within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from Service Provider of the possibility of termination for failure to make such payments. 
 14.3 Survival. Any provision of this Agreement which contemplates performance or observance subsequent to any termination or expiration of this
Agreement will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect including, but not limited to, the following: this Section 14.3, Sections 7.1(b), 8.2, Articles 9, 13 (subject to
Section 15.13) and 15. 
 14.4 Rights Upon Termination or Expiration. At Customer’s request and expense, Service
Provider will provide Customer with reasonable information and assistance to facilitate the transition responsibility for the Services to Customer or its designee (“Termination  

  

 21 

 
Assistance Services”). The provision of such Termination Assistance Services shall be subject to the Parties’ agreement on a detailed work
plan and the availability of the applicable Service Provider resources. In no event shall Service Provider be required to provide any specialized or customized services as part of the Termination Assistance Services. 
  

	15.	GENERAL 

 15.1 Construction. 
 (a) References to Customer Includes Recipients. Customer is fully responsible and liable for the Recipients’ compliance with
this Agreement, and any actions, omissions, or materials provided by any Recipients other than Customer shall be deemed to be Customer’s actions, omissions, or materials provided by Customer. 
 (b) General. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a
substantive part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All references to Sections contained herein mean Sections of this Agreement unless otherwise stated and except in the schedules hereto, wherein references to Sections
shall mean Sections of such schedule unless otherwise stated. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement will include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns, pronouns, and
verbs will include the plural and vice versa. Reference to any agreement, document, or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if
applicable hereof. The use of the words “include” or “including” in this Agreement will be by way of example rather than by limitation. The use of the words “or,” “either” or “any” will not be
exclusive. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties
hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 15.2 Binding Effect; No Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives. Except as expressly
provided in this Section 15.2, this Agreement is not assignable by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party and any other purported assignment shall be null and void. 
 15.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one
Party), each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other
electronic transmission, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement and will be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any
Party, the other Party will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to the requesting Party. No Party will raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic means to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature was
transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile machine or other electronic means as a defense to the formation of a Contract and each such Party forever waives any such defense. 
  

 22 

 15.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement among the Parties relating
to the matters described herein and therein, and no prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral, will be binding on any Party unless incorporated into this Agreement or agreed to by the Party in a writing signed by the Party on or
after the date of this Agreement. While purchase orders, invoices or similar routine documents may be used to implement or administer provisions of this Agreement, any provisions of these documents that add to, vary, modify or are at conflict with
the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed deleted and shall have no force or effect on either Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement. 
 15.5 Force Majeure. 
 (a) “Force Majeure Event” means any event
beyond the reasonable control of the Party affected that significantly interferes with the performance by such Party of its obligations under this Agreement, including acts of God, strikes, lockouts or industrial disputes or disturbances, civil
disturbances, arrests or restraint from rulers or people, interruptions by Orders, present and future valid Orders of any regulatory body having proper jurisdiction, acts of the public enemy, wars, riots, blockades, insurrections, inability to
secure labor, or secure materials upon terms deemed practicable by the Party affected (including inability to secure materials by reason of allocations, voluntary or involuntary, promulgated by authorized governmental agencies), epidemics,
landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fire, storm, floods, washouts, explosions, breakage or accident to machinery. 
 (b) If a
Force Majeure Event is claimed by either Party, the Party making such claim shall orally notify the other Party as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event and, in addition, shall provide the other Party with
written notice of such Force Majeure Event within five (5) days after the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event. 
 (c)
Except for Customer’s obligations to make payments hereunder, neither Party hereto will be liable for any nonperformance or delay in performance of the terms of this Agreement when such failure is due to a Force Majeure Event. If either Party
relies on the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event as a basis for being excused from performance of its obligations hereunder, such Party relying on the Force Majeure Event shall (i) provide an estimate of the expected duration of the Force
Majeure Event and its probable impact on performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder and (ii) provide prompt notice to the other Party of the cessation of the Force Majeure Event. 
 (d) Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the same will, so far as possible, be remedied using commercially reasonable efforts. It
is understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 15.5(d) shall require the settlement of strikes, lockouts or industrial disputes or disturbances by acceding to the demands of any opposing party therein when such course is
inadvisable in the discretion of the Party having the difficulty.

may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon a Party only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a writing executed by such Party. No course of dealing between or among any Persons having any interest in this
