1.2 Excluded Assets.

(a) All cash, cash equivalents and securities of MII Life and all other deposit accounts, other than the Account Deposits included in the aggregate VEBA Asset Transfer Amount that is transferred to Buyer (or its designee) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Schedule A and other receivables expressly included as Acquired Assets (if any);

(j) all Permits;

(k) all Non-Consenting VEBA Contracts; and

(l) all other assets of Seller that are not used primarily in the VEBA Business.

1.3 Liabilities.

(a) Limited Assumption of Liabilities. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer (or its designee) agrees to assume and become responsible, from and after the Closing, for the following Liabilities of MII Life, and no other Liabilities of MII Life of any type (the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(i) subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof, all deposit liabilities, including savings account balances, with respect to the VEBA Accounts; and

(ii) Liabilities under the Assumed Contracts, except to the extent such Liabilities are required to be performed or are incurred prior to the Closing.

(b) Excluded Liabilities. Other than the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer assumes no other Liabilities of MII Life, and Buyer shall not be liable or responsible for, be obligated to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, and Seller shall retain, all Excluded Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, Excluded Liabilities shall include:

(i) any Liability relating to any breach or default of any Assumed Contract arising prior to the Closing;

(ii) all Taxes related to the Acquired Assets for Pre-Closing Tax Periods;

(iii) all contractually assumed Taxes of other Persons (except to the extent otherwise assumed hereunder);

(iv) any and all Taxes allocated to, of or imposed on either Seller;

(v) all Seller Benefit Arrangements and all liabilities, trust agreements or any other funding and administrative Contracts related to such Seller Benefit Arrangements;

(vi) any Liability relating to any custodial agreement of either Seller in respect of the VEBA Accounts;

(vii) any Liability relating to any Non-Consenting VEBA Contracts; and

(viii) any other Liability of any kind, whether known or unknown, contingent, matured or otherwise, whether currently existing or hereinafter created, other than an Assumed Liability.

1.4 Consideration.

(a) The total cash consideration for the Acquired Assets (the “Estimated Consideration”) shall be an amount not to exceed $45,000,000 payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds from Buyer to Seller at the Closing as follows:

(i) if the Estimated VEBA Asset Transfer Amount is equal to or less than 20.00% of the VEBA Asset Base Amount, then the Estimated Consideration shall be equal to $0.00; and

(ii) if the Estimated VEBA Asset Transfer Amount is greater than 20% of the VEBA Asset Base Amount, then the Estimated Consideration shall be equal to (A) $45,000,000 multiplied by (B) the quotient (expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest one-hundredth) of (I)(a) the quotient (expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest one-hundredth) of (x) the Estimated VEBA Asset Transfer Amount divided by (y) the VEBA Asset Base Amount, less (b) 20.00%, divided by (II) 80.00%.

For illustrative purposes only, if the Estimated VEBA Asset Transfer Amount is $200,000,000.00, then the Estimated Consideration will be $28,390,500.00 calculated as follows:

$200,000,000 ÷ $283,821,707 = 70.47%.

70.47% - 20.00% = 50.47%

50.47% ÷ 80.00% = 63.09%.

63.09% x $45,000,000 = $28,390,500.00.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will any Account Deposits be included in the calculation of the Estimated VEBA Asset Transfer Amount or Final VEBA Asset Transfer Amount to the extent (1) the transfer of such Account Deposits requires the consent of one or more third parties pursuant to the terms of any Assumed Contract between Seller and such third parties and (2) Seller has failed to deliver to Buyer the applicable Consent Document evidencing such consent on or before the Consent Solicitation End Date.

(b) Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, Buyer will assume, from and after the Closing, all of the Assumed Liabilities.

1.5 Closing.

(a) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall have delivered to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth its good faith estimate of the VEBA Asset Transfer Amount (the “Estimated VEBA Asset Transfer Amount”), and the Estimated Consideration, calculated in accordance with Section 1.4, resulting therefrom. During the period after the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement and prior to the Closing, Buyer shall have an opportunity to review the Estimated Closing Statement and Seller shall promptly respond to such reasonable inquiries and questions raised by Buyer regarding the Estimated Closing Statement and the calculations contained therein.

(b) The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely on the later of (a) the second (2^nd) Business Day following the date on which the last of the conditions set forth in Article V are fulfilled or waived and (b) February 1, 2022, or at such other time and place as the Parties shall agree in writing (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. Minneapolis time on the Closing Date.

1.6 Subsequent Documentation. Without limiting Section 9.3, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their controlled Affiliates to, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, upon the request of the other Party, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further deeds, assignments, transfers and conveyances as may reasonably be required for the assigning, transferring, granting, conveying and confirming to Buyer or its successors and assigns, or for aiding and assisting in collecting and reducing to possession, any or all of the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities. Seller hereby constitutes and appoints, effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer, its successors and assigns as the true and lawful attorney of Seller with full power of substitution in the name of Buyer or in the name of Seller for the benefit of Buyer (a) to collect for the account of Buyer all items of the Acquired Assets and (b) to institute and prosecute proceedings in order to assert or enforce any right, title or interest in, to or under the Acquired Assets and to defend or compromise any and all proceedings in respect of any of the Acquired Assets. Buyer shall be entitled to retain for its own account any amounts collected pursuant to the foregoing powers, including any amounts payable as interest in respect thereof.

1.7 Assignability and Consents. At the Closing and effective as of the Closing Date, MII Life shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates (as applicable) to, assign to Buyer all of MII Life’s and each applicable Affiliate’s rights under the Assumed Contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Assumed Contract shall be assigned, or deemed to be assigned, contrary to law or, in the event not permitted, or any applicable consent or approval is not obtained, pursuant to the terms of such Assumed Contract (any such Assumed Contract, a “Non-Assignable Contract”). The performance obligations of MII Life or its applicable Affiliate under a Non-Assignable Contract shall, unless prohibited by law or by the terms of such Non-Assignable Contract, be deemed to be subleased or subcontracted to Buyer until such Non-Assignable Contract has been assigned to Buyer. With respect to Non-Assignable Contracts, MII Life shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates (as applicable) to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents and approvals and to deliver all required notices to effect assignment thereof to Buyer; provided, however, MII Life and its Affiliates (as applicable) shall (a) not be required to pay any material fee or payment or make any concession to any third party in order to obtain any such consent or amendment, and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the procurement of any such consent or amendment is not a condition to Buyer’s obligations to effect the Closing except as expressly contemplated by Section 1.4(a), (b) until any necessary consent or approval is obtained, provide Buyer in any arrangement acceptable to Buyer (including a transition services arrangement) the full benefits (including the exercise of rights) and burdens (other than any Excluded Liabilities) under any such Non-Assignable Contracts, including enforcement, at Buyer’s sole expense, for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates (as applicable) against a third party arising out of the breach or cancellation of any such Non-Assignable Contract or otherwise, (c) hold all monies paid thereunder in trust for the account of Buyer and (d) remit all such monies without set-off of any kind whatsoever (other than expenses incurred in performing under the Non-Assignable Contracts) to Buyer as promptly as possible. The obligations of the Parties under this Section 1.7 shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the VEBA Contracts required to be terminated following the Consent Solicitation End Date pursuant to Section 4.2(d) be considered Non-Assignable Contracts.

1.8 Allocation of Consideration. Seller and Buyer shall agree in good faith based on customary methodology on a mutually acceptable allocation of the Consideration among the Acquired Assets prior to Closing. Buyer and Seller shall report, act and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such allocation. Buyer and Seller shall notify and provide the other with reasonable assistance in the event of a Proceeding regarding the allocation determined pursuant to this Section 1.8. None of the Parties shall take any action inconsistent with the allocation prepared in accordance with this Section 1.8.

1.9 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Following the Closing, but in any event no later than ninety (90) days thereafter, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller a statement (the “Closing Date Statement”) setting forth its calculation of the VEBA Asset Transfer Amount, and the calculation of the Final Consideration resulting therefrom.

(b) Buyer and Seller will work in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the VEBA Asset Transfer Amount and the calculation of Final Consideration resulting therefrom within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of the Closing Date Statement to Seller. If Buyer and Seller do not reach an agreement within such period, the dispute will be submitted to an independent public accounting firm which is mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller (the “Purchase Price Independent Accountants”) for resolution. If issues are submitted to the Purchase Price Independent Accountants for resolution, (i) Seller and Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Purchase Price Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Purchase Price Independent Accountants may reasonably request and are available to that Party and its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Purchase Price Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Purchase Price Independent Accountants; and (ii) the determination by the Purchase Price Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to Seller and Buyer within thirty (30) days after the submission to the Purchase Price Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties, absent manifest error or fraud. The fees and costs of (A) the Purchase Price Independent Accountants for such determination and (B) any enforcement of its determination, shall be borne by Seller and Buyer in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Purchase Price Independent Accountants, 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 Purchase Price Independent Accountants at the time of their resolution of the matters in dispute. The VEBA Asset Transfer Amount, as accepted or as finally agreed or determined, will be the “Final VEBA Asset Transfer Amount” and the Consideration, as accepted or as finally agreed or determined, will be the “Final Consideration.”

(c) In the event that the Final Consideration (as set forth in the Closing Date Statement or as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.9(b), as the case may be), is less than the Estimated Consideration, Seller shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Final Consideration, pay to Buyer the absolute value of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer. In the event that the Final Consideration (as set forth in the Closing Date Statement or as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.9(b), as the case may be), is greater than the Estimated Consideration, Buyer shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Final Consideration, pay to Seller the absolute value of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller.

1.10 Wrong Pocket. If at any time after the Closing (a) Buyer or its designee holds any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities or (b) Seller or any of its Affiliates holds any Acquired Assets or Assumed Liabilities, Buyer or Seller will promptly transfer (or cause to be transferred) such assets or assume (or cause to be assumed) such Liabilities to or from (as the case may be) the other Party, without further consideration from the other Party. Prior to any such transfer, the Party receiving or possessing any such asset will hold it in trust for such other Party.

Such Disclosure Schedules shall be arranged in numbered paragraphs corresponding to the sections and subsections in this Agreement. The disclosures in any part or subpart of the Disclosure Schedules shall qualify other sections and subsections in this Article II to the extent it is reasonably apparent on its face that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedules (or any update thereto) shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material, has resulted in or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or is outside the Ordinary Course of Business.

2.1 Organization. Seller is duly organized, legally existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation. Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate the Acquired Assets and to conduct the VEBA Business as it is now being conducted. Seller is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing under the laws of every state or jurisdiction in which the nature of its activities or of its properties owned, leased or operated requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified has not, and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

2.2 Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Disclosure Schedules and the Ancillary Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby by Seller, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, in accordance with Applicable Law and Seller’s Constituent Documents. No additional corporate or shareholder authorization or consent is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents to which it is or will become party. This Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to be executed and/or delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement have been or will be prior to the Closing, as applicable, duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and the obligations of Seller hereunder and thereunder are, or will be upon such execution and delivery (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer), valid, legally binding and enforceable against Seller in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by the availability of equitable principles or bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

2.3 No Breach. Seller has full power and authority to sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer the Acquired Assets. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the Ancillary Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby by Seller will not: (a) violate any provision of Seller’s Constituent Documents, (b) violate any Applicable Laws or Order applicable to Seller, (c) require of Seller any filing with, Permit from, authorization, consent or approval of, or the giving of any notice to, any Person, (d) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give another Person any rights of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, franchise, Permit (including but not limited to, any Permits, approvals or authorizations of any Governmental Body), lease, employee benefit plan or other Material Contract to which Seller is a party, or by which the Acquired Assets may be bound, or (e) result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance on any of the Acquired Assets.

2.4 Title to Acquired Assets. Seller holds good, valid and marketable title to all of the Acquired Assets, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances of any kind, nature and description whatsoever (other than Permitted Encumbrances).

2.5 Litigation. There is no Proceeding pending, or to Seller’s Knowledge threatened, by or against Seller related to the VEBA Business or to the Acquired Assets. Seller is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any Order related to the Acquired Assets. There are no Proceedings pending, or to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened that question the legality of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Ancillary Documents or that are reasonably expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents. Seller is not subject to any outstanding Order that (i) is reasonably expected to be material to the Acquired Assets taken as a whole or (ii) prohibits or otherwise restricts the ability of Seller or any of its Affiliates to consummate fully the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Ancillary Documents.

2.6 Data Privacy.

(a) With respect to any Personal Data collected, accessed, stored, used, disclosed, transferred, or otherwise processed by Seller with respect to the VEBA Business, in the last three (3) years Seller has complied in all material respects with (i) the terms of all published, posted, and internal agreements, policies, procedures, and notices (“Privacy Policies”), (ii) all applicable laws pertaining to data protection, data privacy, data security, cybersecurity, cross-border data transfer, including without limitation, applicable requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, including all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and general consumer protection laws as applied in the context of data privacy, data breach notification, electronic communication, telephone and text message communications, marketing by email or other channels, and other similar laws (“Data Protection Laws”), and (iii) any Contract and/or codes of conduct with respect to the collection, use, disclosure, storage, cross-border transfer, and protection of Personal Data (collectively with Privacy Policies and Data Protection Laws, the “Data Protection Requirements”).

(f) The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement shall not cause, constitute, or result in a breach or violation of any Data Protection Requirement.

After the Closing, except in the event of fraud, Buyer may not bring a claim against Seller for the inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement. The representations and warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall expire and be of no further force and effect as of the Closing. After the Closing, except in the event of fraud, Seller may not bring a claim against Buyer for the inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

6.2 Survival of Covenants. None of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date, and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing for the period contemplated by its terms.

6.3 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, including the limitations set forth in Section 6.5, Seller agrees to indemnify in full, defend and hold harmless Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, agents and owners (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any loss, Liability, Tax, settlement payment, award, judgment, fine, penalty, deficiency, damage, cost or expense (including arbitration fees or costs, witness fees, and reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel), including any of the foregoing relating to, resulting from or arising out of any action, suit, administrative proceeding, investigation, defense, audit or other Proceeding brought by any Person and any settlement or compromise thereof, but excluding, except to the extent payable to a third party, consequential, special, indirect, and punitive damages (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with, arising from or as a result of any of the following:

(a) any breach of, or failure to perform, any agreement or covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents;

(b) any fraud by Seller or its Affiliates; or

All indemnification rights hereunder shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of any investigation, inquiry or examination made for or on behalf of, or any Knowledge of, Buyer and/or any of the other Buyer Indemnified Parties or the acceptance by Buyer of any certificate or opinion.

6.4 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, including the limitations set forth in Section 6.5, Buyer agrees to indemnify in full, defend and hold harmless Seller, its entity Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, agents and owners (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against any Losses in connection with, arising from or as a result of any of the following:

(a) any breach of, or failure to perform, any agreement or covenant of Buyer contained in this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents;

(b) any fraud by Buyer or its Affiliates; or

6.5 Indemnity as Sole Recourse. Without limiting the survival provisions set forth in Section 6.1, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive post-Closing remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VI. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, any and all post-Closing rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties and their Affiliates and each of their respective representatives arising under or based upon any Applicable Law, except in the event of fraud or pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VI. Nothing in this Article VI shall limit any Person’s right to (a) seek and obtain any injunctive relief to which any Person shall be entitled, or (b) assert claims otherwise allowed against the R&W Insurance Policy, if any.

6.6 Method of Asserting Claims. As used herein, an “Indemnified Party” shall refer to a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, and the “Indemnifying Party” shall refer to the Party or Parties obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party.

(a) In the event that any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Proceeding made or instituted by any third party (any such third party Proceeding being referred to as a “Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is or may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, then such Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits material rights or defenses by reason of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to contest and assume the defense of such Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, provided, that the Indemnifying Party (i) has a reasonable basis for concluding that such defense may be successful, (ii) diligently contests and defends such Claim, and (iii) agrees in writing to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all Losses arising from such Claim. Notice of the intention to contest and assume the defense of such Claim shall be given by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party’s notice of such Claim (but, in any event, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date that an answer to such Claim is due to be filed). Such contest and defense shall be conducted by reputable attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party employed by the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party fails to give such notice or assume such defense, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to undertake such defense and seek indemnification from the Indemnifying Party for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to contest and assume the defense of a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled at any time, at its own cost and expense (which expense shall not constitute a Loss unless the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the Indemnifying Party is not adequately representing or, because of a conflict of interest, may not adequately represent, any interests of the Indemnified Party), to participate in such contest and defense and to be represented by attorneys of its or their own choosing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) a Claim involves criminal liability, seeks equitable relief or any non-monetary remedy or award, (B) the subject matter of a Claim relates to the ongoing business of any of the Indemnified Parties, (C) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide the Indemnified Party with reasonable assurance of the Indemnifying Party’s financial capacity to diligently defend such Claim, or (D) the conduct of the defense of the Claim by the Indemnifying Party could reasonably be expected to prejudice the rights or obligations of the Indemnified Party, then, in each such case, the Indemnified Party alone shall be entitled to contest, defend and settle such Claim in the first instance and, if the Indemnified Party does not contest, defend or settle such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall then have the right to contest and defend (but not settle) such Claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 9.2 of this Agreement, records relating to such Claim, and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses)) to the defending party the representatives of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Claim.

(c) Neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party may concede, settle or compromise any Claim without the consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) If any Indemnified Party has a claim which does not result from a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, setting forth in reasonable detail the identity, nature and estimated amount of Losses (if reasonably determinable) related to such claim or claims, with reasonable promptness and in all events prior to the expiration of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation hereunder. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such fifteen (15) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification in the amount of such Claim, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If a timely objection is made in writing in accordance with this Section 6.6(d), the Indemnified Party shall have fifteen (15) days to respond in a written statement to the objection. If, after such fifteen (15) day period, there remains a dispute as to the claim, the Parties shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days to agree upon the rights of the Parties with respect to each claim before pursuing any other remedies.

6.7 Limitations on Indemnification. Except with respect to Losses due to fraud, the aggregate indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties under Section 6.3 or Section 6.4 shall not exceed an amount equal to the Consideration actually paid by Buyer to Seller hereunder.

6.8 Adjustments to Consideration. Any indemnification payable under this Article VI shall be, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, an adjustment to the Consideration.

Article VII
TERMINATION

7.1 Termination. The Parties may terminate this Agreement as provided below:

(a) Buyer and Seller may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing;

(c) at the election of Seller or Buyer on or after February 28, 2022 (the “End Date”); provided, that neither Seller nor Buyer may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) if it is in breach of any of its obligations hereunder and such breach causes, or results in, either (i) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the obligations of the terminating party to consummate the transaction set forth in Article V prior to the End Date, or (ii) the failure of the Closing to have occurred prior to the End Date; provided, further, that no Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) in the event any other Party has initiated proceedings to specifically enforce this Agreement while such proceedings are still pending;

(d) Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller at any time prior to the Closing (i) in the event Seller has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, Buyer has notified Seller of the breach, and, if susceptible to cure, the breach has continued without cure for a period of ten (10) Business Days after the notice of breach, or (ii) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the End Date by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Section 5.1 hereof (unless the failure of Closing to be consummated by the End Date results primarily from Buyer itself breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement);

(e) Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Buyer at any time prior to the Closing (i) in the event Buyer has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, Seller has notified Buyer of the breach, and, if susceptible to cure, the breach has continued without cure for a period of ten (10) Business Days after the notice of breach or (ii) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the End Date by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Section 5.2 hereof (unless the failure of Closing to be consummated by the End Date results primarily from a Seller themselves breaching any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement); or

(f) by Seller or Buyer if the Primary Purchase Agreement is terminated.

7.2 Effect of Termination. If any Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, this Agreement will become void and have no effect, and no Party will have any Liability or any further obligation to any other Party, except as provided in this Section 7.2. The obligations of the Parties to this Agreement under Article VI (Survival; Indemnification), Article IX (Miscellaneous) and this Section 7.2 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Article VIII
POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

8.1 Agreement Not to Compete or Solicit by Seller and its Affiliates. Seller, for itself and on behalf of its controlled Affiliates, hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer and its Affiliates are entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of the VEBA Business and the Acquired Assets, and that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement absent the following provisions:

(a) Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation for Seller and its Affiliates. For a period of seven (7) years from and after the Closing Date, Seller will not, and will cause each of its controlled Affiliates not to (other than on behalf of Buyer or its Affiliates), directly or indirectly, or individually or collectively, whether as a consultant, agent, shareholder, owner, partner, director, officer, principal, member, employee, or in any other capacity or manner whatsoever, anywhere in the United States of America, do any of the following:

(i) engage in or assist others in engaging in a business competitive with the VEBA Business as it exists as of the Closing (the “Restricted Business”); or

(ii) contact or solicit any of Buyer’s customers, clients, accounts or vendors obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (each, a “Restricted Party”) for the purposes of developing a business relationship with such Restricted Party that would reasonably be expected to adversely interfere with such Restricted Party’s relationship with the Restricted Business;

provided, that this Section 8.1 shall not prohibit, prevent or restrict Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates from (x) acquiring any Person who engages in the Restricted Business if the Restricted Business does not constitute a material portion of such Person’s business at the time of acquisition or (y) cooperating with any Restricted Party as permitted under Section 5 of the Distribution Partnership Agreement (as defined in the Primary Purchase Agreement); provided, further, that in the event the Distribution Partnership Agreement is terminated prior to the seven (7) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the restrictions in this Section 8.1(a) shall expire after the later of (I) the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date, and (II) the date on which the Distribution Partnership Agreement is terminated.

(b) Acknowledgment. The restrictive covenants contained in this Section 8.1 are covenants independent of any other provision of this Agreement and the existence of any claim that Seller or a Seller Indemnified Party may allege against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, whether based on this Agreement or otherwise, will not prevent the enforcement of the covenants in this Section 8.1. Seller, for itself and on behalf of its controlled Affiliates, agree that Buyer and its Affiliates will be entitled to an injunction to prevent actual or threatened breaches of the provisions of this Section 8.1 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which Buyer or its Affiliates may be entitled at law or in equity. In the event of litigation regarding the covenants in this Section 8.1, the prevailing party in such litigation will, in addition to any other remedies the prevailing party may obtain in such litigation, be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable legal fees and out of pocket costs incurred by such party in enforcing or defending its rights hereunder. To “prevail” hereunder will be determined by the trier of fact in such matter. The length of time for which the covenants in this Section 8.1 will be in force will include (and will be extended for) any period of violation or any other period required for litigation during which Buyer or its Affiliates seeks to enforce covenants in this Section 8.1. Seller, for itself and on behalf of its controlled Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 8.1 are no greater than necessary to protect Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ legitimate interests in the VEBA Business, and covenants, for itself and on behalf of its controlled Affiliates, not to agree or argue to the contrary. If a court of competent jurisdiction should conclude that any provision contained herein is too broad or restrictive to be enforceable, then the Parties agree that the court will have the authority to modify such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make the provision reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified, the provision shall be fully enforceable. The provisions of this Section 8.1, rather than Section 9.16, shall apply to enforcement of the covenants set forth in this Section 8.1.

8.2 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Reporting. MII Life shall provide all Tax reporting that it is required to provide under Applicable Law or any Assumed Contract related to the underlying VEBA Accounts for all periods prior to the Closing. Such Tax reporting shall be at MII Life’s sole cost and expense.

(b) Tax Allocation of Consideration. The Parties agree that the Consideration, and any other amount treated as consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, that is apportioned between the Acquired Assets pursuant to Section 1.8 will be allocated among the Acquired Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Proposed Allocation”). The Proposed Allocation will be prepared in accordance with the methodology set forth on Exhibit B hereto. The Proposed Allocation will be delivered by Buyer to Seller within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller will work in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the Proposed Allocation within ten (10) days after the delivery of the Proposed Allocation to Seller. If Buyer and Seller do not reach an agreement within such period, the dispute will be submitted to an independent public accounting firm which is mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller (the “Independent Accountants”) for resolution applying the principles, policies and practices referred to in this Section 8.2. If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution, (i) Seller and Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that Party and its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountants; and (ii) the determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to Seller and Buyer within thirty (30) days after the submission to the Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties. The fees and costs of (A) the Independent Accountants for such determination and (B) any enforcement of its determination, shall be borne by Seller on one hand and Buyer on the other hand in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accountants, 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 Accountants at the time of their resolution of the matters in dispute. The Proposed Allocation, as accepted or as finally agreed or determined, will be the “Final Allocation” and Buyer and Seller will prepare and file all statements, forms, and Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation, and neither Buyer nor Seller will take a position that is inconsistent with the Final Allocation before any Governmental Body or in any proceeding relating to Taxes except as otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or equivalent provision of state, local, or foreign Law).

(c) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added and other similar Taxes including, for the avoidance of doubt, any real property transfer taxes, and related fees (including any penalties, interest and additions to Tax) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports and forms as may be required to comply with the provisions of any Applicable Law and to the extent any exemptions from such Taxes are available Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to prepare any certificates or other documents necessary to claim such exemptions.

8.3 Books and Records. From and after the Closing, each Party shall preserve and keep all Books and Records, Account Information and Files and other information to the extent relating to the accounting, business and financial affairs of the VEBA Business or Acquired Assets that relate to the period prior to the Closing Date, for six (6) years after the Closing Date or such longer time as required by Applicable Law.

8.4 Amendments to R&W Insurance Policy. Buyer covenants and agrees not to, and to ensure that its officers, managers, members, directors, agents and representatives do not, take any action (or omit to take any action) the effect of which would be to modify the Insurer’s waiver of subrogation rights contained in the R&W Insurance Policy, in a manner adverse to Seller without the prior written consent of Seller.

8.5 License of Excluded Intellectual Property.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, with respect to any Excluded Intellectual Property used in Seller’s VEBA Business during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the date hereof, Seller does hereby, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, grant to Buyer and its Affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-terminable, non-sublicensable (except as set forth within Section 8.5(b)), non-transferable (except as set forth within Section 8.5(c)), non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import, provide, commercialize, practice, copy, perform, display, render, develop, create derivative works from and otherwise exploit such Excluded Intellectual Property solely in substantially the same manner and scope such Excluded Intellectual Property was used in connection with Seller’s VEBA Business as conducted during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the date hereof, including any natural improvements and extensions to Seller’s VEBA Business, which license shall survive any transfer, whether in whole or in part, of any such licensed Excluded Intellectual Property. At any time until twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Buyer may request, and Seller shall provide, one (1) copy of any Software included in such licensed Excluded Intellectual Property, if any, including documentation and source code that is reasonably available, that (i) is subject to the license granted to Buyer under this Section 8.5(a); (ii) has not already been provided to Buyer, and (iii) is not otherwise in the possession of Buyer or its Affiliates. Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain any Trade Secrets contained within such licensed Excluded Intellectual Property as confidential, including refraining from disclosing such Trade Secrets to any other Person who is not bound by obligations of confidentiality other than pursuant to reasonable confidentiality terms (including in connection with sublicenses). Any improvements or modifications to, or derivative works of, such licensed Excluded Intellectual Property made by or on behalf of Buyer or its Affiliates shall be owned by Seller; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, all such improvements, modifications and derivative works shall be deemed to be included within the Excluded Intellectual Property.

(b) Buyer may sublicense the rights contained within Section 8.5(a) without prior written consent of Seller only to any of their respective suppliers, contractors, consultants or representatives for the purpose of providing products and services to or otherwise acting on behalf of and at the direction of Buyer or its Affiliates and in any event in a manner consistent with how such party sublicenses its own comparable Intellectual Property.

(c) Buyer may not assign the rights contained within Section 8.5(a) without the prior written consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that Buyer may assign or transfer such rights in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Seller in connection with any merger, public offering, consolidation, reorganization, or sale of any divisions, businesses, operating units or portion of such party or its respective Affiliates or substantially all of the assets related to any such division, business, operating unit or portion.

Article IX
MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Press Releases and Public Announcements. No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Parties; provided, however, that the Parties or their Affiliates may make public disclosure following the Closing, and shall also be entitled to disclose the material terms hereof, as required by Applicable Law (including any applicable securities exchange rules) or in connection with the ordinary course reporting or disclosure activities of such Party or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties and their Affiliates may make disclosure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to their employees following the earlier of (x) the close of trading on Nasdaq on the date of this Agreement or (y) the public announcement of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, without the prior written approval of the other Parties.

9.2 Confidentiality.
