Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Accounting Firm to select one of its partners experienced in purchase price adjustment disputes to make a final determination of, as applicable, Closing Cash, Excess Company Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Deficit, if any, or the Net Working Capital Surplus, if any, based solely on the items that are in dispute as set forth in the Notice of Disagreement. Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Accounting Firm that, in resolving the items in the Notice of Disagreement that are still in dispute and in determining, as applicable, Closing Cash, Excess Company Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Deficit, if any, or the Net Working Capital Surplus, if any, the Accounting Firm shall (A) not assign to any item in dispute a value that is (1) greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand or (2) less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, (B) make its determination based on an independent review (which will be in accordance with the

-20-

guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement) and, if requested by Buyer or Seller, a one (1)-day conference concerning the dispute, at which conference each of Buyer and Seller shall have the right to present their respective positions with respect to the dispute and have present their respective advisors, counsel and accountants, (C) render a final resolution in writing to Buyer and Seller (which final resolution shall be requested by Buyer and Seller to be delivered not more than 30 days following submission of such disputed matters), which shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties with respect to Closing Cash, Excess Company Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Deficit, if any, or Net Working Capital Surplus, if any, as applicable, and (D) provide a written report to Buyer and Seller, if requested by either of them, which sets forth in reasonable detail the basis for the Accounting Firm’s final determination. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage by which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each of Buyer and Seller bears to the amount actually contested by such Party. For example, should the items in dispute total an amount equal to $1,000 and should the Accounting Firm award $600 in favor of Seller’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and 40% of the costs would be borne by Seller.

(e)The Preliminary Adjustment Statement shall be deemed final for the purposes of this Section 2.6 upon the earliest of (i) Seller’s written acceptance of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement as final, (ii) the failure of Seller to notify Buyer of a dispute within 30 days after Seller receives the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, (iii) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.6(c), by Buyer and Seller and (iv) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.6(d), by the Accounting Firm.

In accordance with the foregoing clause “(A),” Seller and Buyer shall promptly deliver a joint written instruction to the Adjustment Escrow Agent instructing it to release (A) to Buyer or its designee, from the Adjustment Escrow Fund, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the absolute value of the Final Adjustment Amount, if any or (ii) the Adjustment Escrow Fund and (B) if an amount remains in the Adjustment Escrow Fund after giving effect to the foregoing clause “(A),” the remaining amount of the Adjustment Escrow Fund to Seller.

(ii)If the Final Adjustment Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6 is a positive number, then (A) Seller and Buyer shall promptly deliver a joint written instruction to the Adjustment Escrow Agent instructing it to release the

-21-

Adjustment Escrow Fund to Seller, and (B) within 90 days following the determination of the Final Adjustment Statement, Buyer shall also pay to Seller the amount of the Final Adjustment Amount.

(g)All payments required under this Section 2.6 shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account(s) as shall be designated in writing by the recipient(s) at least three Business Days prior to the applicable payment date.

The Group Companies shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Group Companies relating to any Tax Periods commencing on or before the Closing Date and shall abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority, and shall give Seller reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for that Tax Period, and, if Seller so requests, the Group Companies shall allow Seller to take possession of such books and records rather than destroying or discarding such books and records.

(e)Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy, or claim between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to the provisions of this

-46-

Agreement that relates to Taxes that cannot be resolved by good faith negotiations between Buyer and Seller shall be submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution. The Accounting Firm shall control the proceedings related to the dispute resolution and may request such evidence and information as it deems necessary; provided that in the event of any dispute governed by this Section 5.3(e), neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any ex-parte communications with the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Accounting Firm shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Buyer and Seller and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and the resulting computation of any Tax, fee, deduction or other amount in dispute which, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on Buyer, Seller and their respective Affiliates. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either Party. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer and Seller, based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm. For example, should the items in dispute total an amount equal to $1,000 and should the Accounting Firm award $600 in favor of Seller’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and 40% of the costs would be borne by Seller.

(f)Allocation Statement. Within thirty (30) calendar days after the determination of the Final Adjustment Statement, Seller will prepare an allocation statement allocating the Purchase Price, as adjusted for federal income Tax purposes, including any other amounts treated as consideration for federal income tax purposes (the “Aggregate Consideration”) among the assets of the Group Companies and the Transferred Assets for U.S. federal and applicable state income Tax purposes in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Proposed Allocation”). For purposes of this Section 5.3(f) and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that the Earnout Payments, the Post-Closing Services, and the Tier II Upgrade Payment are each properly allocable to, and will in fact be allocated to, the goodwill of the Group Companies to the greatest extent permissible under applicable income Tax Law. Within fifteen (15) calendar days after the receipt of the Proposed Allocation, Buyer will propose any changes or will indicate its concurrence therewith. If Buyer does not agree with the Proposed Allocation, then Buyer and Seller shall attempt in good faith to reach agreement on the allocation of the Aggregate Consideration in a manner consistent with applicable income Tax Law. If Buyer and Seller cannot reach agreement on such allocation within fifteen (15) calendar days after Buyer’s receipt of the Proposed Allocation, then the Accounting Firm shall determine the allocation under the procedures for resolving disputes as set forth in Section 5.3(e). The allocation of the Purchase Price among the assets of the Group Companies, as agreed to by Buyer and Seller or as finally determined by the Accounting Firm, as the case may be, shall be binding on all Parties (the “Final Allocation”). Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause each applicable Affiliate to: (i) file all Tax Returns for income Taxes consistent with the Final Allocation, including preparing Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement under Section 1060), if required, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section

Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or the Group Companies that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Group Companies shall be for the account of Seller, and Buyer shall pay over to Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit within 15 days after receipt thereof, but only to the extent that the Tax to which such refund relates was taken into account in determining the Final Adjustment Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not be entitled to any Tax refunds or credits to the extent such refund or credit was treated as an asset on the Final Adjustment Statement.

(h)Tax Sharing Agreements, Etc. The Group Companies shall cause any Tax allocation, Tax sharing agreements, or any other similar agreements to which any Group Company is a party to be terminated (other than any customary agreements the primary subject of which is not Taxes).

(i)Seller’s Indemnification for Taxes. Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for any Pre-Closing Taxes (except to the extent that such Taxes were included in the calculation of the final Indebtedness or Net Working Capital), and satisfaction of any such indemnification obligation shall be in accordance with the terms set forth on Schedule 1.1-P. From and after Closing, Buyer shall have the right to control the negotiation and settlement of any Pre-Closing Taxes; provided, that (A) without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) shall not enter into or propose any settlement with respect to the Pre-Closing Taxes, (B) Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably apprised of the status of, and provide Seller the opportunity, at Seller’s cost and expense, to reasonably participate in and consult with Buyer with respect to, such negotiation and settlement and (C) Buyer shall, and shall cause the Group Companies to, diligently pursue such settlement in the same manner and with the same standard of care used by Buyer and its Affiliates in the audit and settlement of similar Taxes of Buyer and its Affiliates. .

(b)The Buyer Parties shall pay the Additional Bonuses to the individuals, having the values, terms and conditions and on the timeline set forth on Schedule 5.4(b).

To the extent that Buyer, Parent or any of the Group Companies modify any coverage or benefit plans under which the Business Employees participate in the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, the Buyer Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive or cause to be waived any applicable waiting periods, pre-existing conditions or actively-at-work requirements and, in the case of any group health plan, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give such Business Employees credit under the new coverages or benefit plans for deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket payments that have been paid during the plan year in which such coverage or plan modification occurs. The Buyer Parties shall be solely responsible for any obligations arising under Section 4980B of the Code with respect to all “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as defined in Treasury Regulation § 54.4980B-9.

(e)The Buyer Parties shall, or shall cause the applicable Group Company to, continue to reimburse the costs for continued health insurance coverage for ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ for the 18-month period following the Closing Date; provided, that the aggregate costs of such continued health insurance coverage that the Buyer Parties shall be required to reimburse pursuant to this Section 5.4(e) shall not exceed the cost of satisfying the continuation coverage requirements of Section 601 et seq. of ERISA or Section 4980B of the Code or similar state law with respect to such Owner for such 18-month period.

-49-

To the extent requested by Seller, Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in obtaining such consents, at Seller’s sole cost and expense. Subject to obtaining the requisite consent of the applicable third party insurer and compliance with all applicable Laws, from the Closing Date (or such later date on which the applicable consent is received) through December 31, 2021 (the “Benefits Transition Period”), the Buyer Parties shall cause the Group Companies to allow the Retained Employees and any other employees of any member of the Seller Group following the Closing (and, in each case, their eligible dependents) (collectively the “Seller Employee Participants”) during the Benefits Transition Period to continue actively participating in the Applicable Benefits Plans on the same terms and conditions as they are permitted to participate as of the Closing Date. With respect to the Group Companies’ provision of the services described in the immediately preceding sentence, Seller shall, in all cases, reimburse the Group Companies for any and all actual incremental costs and expenses incurred by the Group Companies with respect thereto, including, without duplication, in the case of any fully insured plan, Seller shall reimburse the Group Companies for the actual third-party insurance premium costs (less any portion of such costs that are paid by the applicable Seller Employee Participant) associated with such continued participation in such Employee Benefit Plans during the Benefits Transition Period, and, in the case of any self-funded plan, Seller shall pay to the Group Companies the COBRA equivalent rate with respect to such coverages.

(g)Nothing contained in this Section 5.4 (whether express or implied) shall (i) create or confer any rights, remedies or claims upon any employee or individual service provider of the Group Companies, (ii) be considered or deemed to establish, amend, or modify any Employee Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan of the Buyer Parties or their Affiliates, or (iii) confer any rights or benefits (including any third-party beneficiary rights) on any Person, other than the Parties to this Agreement.

(h)Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Employment Agreements listed on Schedule 5.4(h) (the “Employment Agreements”) have been executed and delivered by the parties thereto, each of which shall become effective on the Closing Date.

(b)Non-solicitation of Customers. During the period commencing on the Closing Date until the 3-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller, each member of the Owner Group and their respective Affiliates agree not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or attempt to solicit, any business from any Person who was a customer of the Group Companies as of the Execution Date or at any time during the one-year period prior to the Execution Date, including actively sought prospective customers, for purposes of providing products or services that are competitive with the Covered Business or (ii) provide to any such customer or prospective customer products or services that are competitive with the Covered Business; provided, that the foregoing shall not restrict any member of the Owner Group or their respective Affiliates from conducting any of the activities described in this Section 5.6(b) if such Person is acting on behalf of any Buyer Party or its Affiliates.

During the period commencing on the Closing Date until the 5year anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller, each member of the Owner Group and their respective Affiliates shall treat all confidential and proprietary information concerning the Group Companies or the Business, including as may be contained in any documents or information furnished to the Buyer Parties in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions (together, “Confidential Information”) as confidential and refrain from using any Confidential Information. In the event that Seller, a member of the Owner Group or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives is requested or required pursuant to a written or oral question or request for information or documents in any Action to disclose any Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of any applicable Law, Seller or a member of the Owner Group, as applicable, will notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement, so Buyer may (at its sole expense) seek an appropriate protective order. If, in the absence of a protective order, Seller, such member of the Owner Group or such Affiliate is, on the advice of counsel, required or compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administration process or by other requirements of any applicable Law, Seller, such member of the Owner Group or such Affiliate may disclose such Confidential Information to the extent so required to be disclosed, without liability hereunder; provided, however, that Seller,

Confidential Information does not include (i) information that is generally available to the public immediately prior to the time of disclosure unless such Confidential Information is so available due to the actions of Seller, any member of the Owner Group or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives in breach of this Agreement or (ii) information solely related to the Excluded Assets or Seller’s retained business.

(e)Seller, each member of the Owner Group and the Buyer Parties agree that the terms of the covenants in this Section 5.6 are fair and reasonable with respect to its duration, geographical area and scope, are necessary to accomplish the full transfer of the goodwill and other intangible assets contemplated hereby, and were a material and necessary inducement for the Buyer Parties to agree to the transactions herein contemplated. In the event that any provision contained in Section 5.6 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or any Governmental Entity to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever (including in relation to duration or the scope of the activities covered thereby), then the Parties agree that the court should redefine such covenant so as to comply with applicable Law, it being specifically agreed by the Parties that it is each of their continuing desire that each covenant in this Section 5.6 be enforced to the full extent of its terms and conditions.

Neither Seller nor the Group Companies shall be under any obligation to disclose to the Buyer Parties (A) any information the disclosure of which is restricted by Contract or Law, (B) any information that, in the reasonable judgment of Seller, would result in the disclosure of any of Seller’s or its Affiliates’ trade secrets or competitively sensitive information or (C) any information that consists of accounting workpapers or that may adversely affect the attorney-client privilege of Seller or its Affiliates, as the case may be; provided, however, that Seller and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide appropriate substitute arrangements in circumstances where this sentence applies.

Section V.11Insurance Policies. Seller acknowledges and agrees that, effective upon the Closing, each member of the Group Companies shall continue to have the right to pursue coverage under the Insurance Policies, for claims arising out of pre-Closing acts or events, to the full extent of the coverage provided under such Insurance Policies (the “Pre-Closing Insurance Coverage”) in accordance with this Section 5.11. To the extent that any claim arising out of any act, omission, occurrence, fact or circumstance existing or occurring on or prior to the Closing Date is made against a Group Company (other than with respect to any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities or to the extent that Seller is otherwise required to indemnify pursuant to Section 10.2), and the Pre-Closing Insurance Coverage by its terms applies to such claim, upon written notice from Buyer, Seller shall make a claim under the applicable Insurance Policy for potential payment in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof (including all deductibles, retentions and similar limits). Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer, upon written request of Buyer or the Company, in submitting and/or pursuing such claims on behalf of the Group Companies; provided that the Group Companies shall be responsible for providing all information reasonably necessary to enable Seller to make and process such claim and shall

Seller shall undertake to obtain the release of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) outstanding against the Group Companies or their respective assets prior to the Closing. To the extent any of such Liens are not released as of the Closing Date, either through the Release and Termination Agreements or through other lien releases, Seller will indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Group Companies for any Losses incurred following the Closing as a result of such unreleased Liens.

Section V.14▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Property.

(a)Prior to Closing, Seller may provide to Buyer written notice (the “Conveyance Notice”) of Seller’s intent to convey to Seller or an assignee of Seller, that portion of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Property which constitutes the Excluded Real Property and is not used by the Company for its office, shop and yard or man camp, in a single tract or multiple parcels, as Seller may designate in its discretion (the “Conveyance Parcels”). The Conveyance Notice shall include an ALTA land title survey, certified, and reasonably acceptable, to Buyer (among others whom Seller may choose), of the proposed Conveyance Parcels and the remaining portions thereof that Alamo RP Holdings, LLC shall retain (the “Remaining Parcels”). Each of the Conveyance Parcels and Remaining Parcels shall, upon conveyance thereof, be separate legal tax parcels in accordance with applicable Law and, for purposes of clarification, none of the Conveyance Parcels shall include any portion of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Property that is used in the Ordinary Course.

(b)If Seller fails to deliver the Conveyance Notice, then within ninety (90) days after Closing, Seller may, by written notice to Buyer (the “Reconveyance Request”), request that Buyer reconvey to Seller that portion of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Property constituting the Excluded Real Property in a single tract or multiple parcels as Seller may designate in its discretion (the “Reconveyance Parcels”). The Reconveyance Request shall include an ALTA land title survey, certified to Buyer (among others whom Seller may choose), of the proposed Reconveyance Parcels and the Remaining Parcels. Each of the Reconveyance Parcels and Remaining Parcels shall, upon conveyance thereof, be separate legal tax parcels in accordance with applicable Law, and for purposes of clarification, none of the Reconveyance Parcels shall include any portion of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Property that is used in the Ordinary Course. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions under this Section 5.14(b) and otherwise subject to Buyer’s approval of the final legal description of the Reconveyance Parcels and Remaining Parcels, Buyer agrees to convey the Reconveyance Parcels to Seller on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after the date of the Reconveyance Request via special warranty deed in customary form reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer, free and clear of all Liens (it being understood that Buyer shall not be responsible for any title or Lien issues in existence prior to the Closing Date).

-55-

(c)The Company, Alamo RP Holdings, LLC or, in conjunction with the special warranty deed, Buyer will reserve a nonexclusive access and utilities easement, the location of which will be subject to the mutual approval of Buyer and Seller, for the benefit of the Remaining Parcels over the Conveyance Parcels or Reconveyance Parcels, as applicable, in an easement area to be depicted upon the ALTA survey set forth in the Conveyance Notice or Reconveyance Request, as applicable (the “Reserved Easement”). The Reserved Easement shall provide that Buyer shall have a period of twelve (12) months after the date of Closing during which to commence development and installation of an approximately thirty (30) foot wide access road and/or utilities in compliance with any easements or encumbrances currently affecting the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Property and which will not unreasonably hinder or interfere with the rights of Seller or Seller’s assignee to install utilities or access over and across the Reserved Easement; provided that, if Buyer does not commence development and installation during such twelve (12) month period, then Buyer’s undeveloped rights relating to the Reserved Easement will terminate.

(d)Upon closing of the reconveyance, (i) the Parties shall prorate taxes and any other income or expense applicable to the Reconveyance Parcels in a similar manner as the same were prorated at Closing, (ii) Buyer and Seller shall share evenly the cost of the ALTA survey, and (iii) Buyer shall pay all other costs and expenses incurred by the parties in connection with the reconveyance, other than Seller’s attorneys’ fees. Seller shall have the right to access the Reconveyance Parcels and Remaining Parcels until the earlier to occur of the expiration of the ninety (90) day period and the actual delivery of the Reconveyance Request solely for the purpose of surveying the Reconveyance Parcels and Remaining Parcels, and Seller shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any and all losses, costs, or liabilities arising out of the exercise by Seller (or its agents, representatives or contractors) of its access rights under this sentence. If Seller does not deliver the Reconveyance Request within ninety (90) days after Closing, Seller shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its right to tender the Reconveyance Request or cause the reconveyance to Seller of the Reconveyance Parcels.

Section V.15Third-Party Consents. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller in obtaining the third-party consents to be delivered by Seller under Section 7.2(k), including, if requested by the applicable third party, providing a guarantee of the performance of the Company’s obligations under the applicable Contract that is subject to such third-party consent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is understood that, unless otherwise waived in writing by Buyer, Seller shall be required to obtain the third-party consent under the NetSuite License Agreement prior to Closing.

Article IX

SURVIVAL; RELEASE; WAIVER

Section IX.1Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or any other agreement delivered pursuant to this Agreement will not survive beyond the Closing such that, except with respect to Non-Released Claims, no claim for breach of any such representation or warranty, detrimental reliance or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought after the Closing with respect thereto, and there will be no liability in respect thereof, whether such liability has accrued prior to, on or after the Closing. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein. No Person is asserting, and no Person or Party is relying on, the truth or accuracy of any factual statements contained in any representation and warranty not set forth in this Agreement; rather the Parties have agreed that should any representations and warranties of any Party prove inaccurate, the other Party shall have the specific remedies herein specified as the exclusive remedy therefor. Except with respect to Non-Released Claims and as otherwise provided in Section 11.11, the rights and remedies under this Section 9.1 are exclusive and in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies that Seller may have against the Buyer Parties, or that the Buyer Parties may have against Seller under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to any Group Company, the Acquired Equity, the Equity Consideration or any breach of any representation or warranty or any failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Buyer Parties may have certain rights and remedies with respect to the insurer of a R&W Policy, if any, obtained in accordance with Section 5.7. Except with respect to Non-Released Claims, the remedies expressly provided in this Agreement shall constitute the sole and exclusive basis for and means of recourse between Seller, on the one hand, and the Buyer Parties, on the other hand, with respect to the Transactions.

Section IX.2Release; Waiver.

Furthermore, without limiting the generality of this Section 9.2, except with respect to Non-Released Claims, no claim will be brought or maintained by, or on behalf of, any Buyer Releasor (including, after the Closing, the Group Companies) or Seller Releasor against any of the Seller Releasees or Buyer Releasees, as applicable, and no recourse will be sought or granted against any of them, by virtue of, or based upon, any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any of the representations, warranties or covenants of Seller, the Buyer Parties, the Group Companies or any other Person set forth or contained in this Agreement or as a result of any of the Transactions. Parent, on its own behalf and on behalf of each Buyer Releasor, on the one hand, and Seller, on its own behalf and on behalf of each Seller Releasor, on the other hand, acknowledge and agree that the Buyer Releasors and Seller Releasors may not avoid such limitation on liability by (i) seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability (including with respect to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or any other Environmental, Health & Safety Law), all of which are hereby waived or (ii) asserting or threatening any claim against any Person that is not a party hereto (or a successor to a party hereto) for breaches of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the limits imposed on the Buyer Releasors’ and Seller Releasors’ remedies with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions were bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid by the Buyer Parties and Seller hereunder. All losses, liabilities and damages incurred or suffered by the Company or its

-62-

Affiliates (other than Seller) with respect to any Non-Released Claim will be deemed to have been incurred or suffered by the Buyer Parties or their respective Affiliates.

(b)THE BUYER PARTIES, ON THEIR OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF EACH BUYER RELEASOR, AND SELLER, ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF EACH SELLER RELEASOR, EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AFFORDED BY ANY STATUTE OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES WHICH LIMITS THE EFFECT OF A RELEASE WITH RESPECT TO UNKNOWN CLAIMS, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO NON-RELEASED CLAIMS. PARENT, ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF EACH BUYER RELEASOR, AND SELLER, ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF EACH SELLER RELEASOR, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT UNDERSTANDS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS AND WAIVER OF ANY STATUTORY PROTECTION AGAINST A RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS. PARENT, ON BEHALF OF THE BUYER WAIVING PARTIES, AND SELLER, ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER WAIVING PARTIES, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL AND MATERIAL TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anywhere in this Agreement, nothing in this Section 9.2 shall release the Parties from their respective indemnification obligations set forth in Article X.

Section IX.3Satisfaction of Seller Indemnification Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any liability of Seller or its Affiliates for indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall be satisfied first by way of a reduction at the Offset Ratio of the value of future Post-Closing Services that the Buyer Parties are obligated to provide to Seller pursuant to the Services Agreement as of such time, if any.

Article X

INDEMNIFICATION

Section X.1Survival of Non-Released Claims. All post-Closing covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until satisfied pursuant to their terms. There shall be no survival limitations with respect to any other matters identified in this Article X.

Section X.2Indemnification Obligations of Seller.

(a)Subject to the provisions of this Article X, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless, and shall compensate and reimburse, each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of any and all Losses which are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by them at any time, or to which any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties may otherwise directly or indirectly become subject at any time (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any third party claim) and which arise directly or indirectly from or as a result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with:

-63-

(i)any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability;

(ii)Seller’s indemnification obligations with respect to Pre-Closing Taxes, as set forth in Section 5.3(i); and

(iii)post-Closing covenants and agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement.

Section X.3Indemnification Obligations of the Buyer Parties. The Buyer Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Seller Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of any and all Losses arising out of:

(a)any Transferred Asset or Assumed Liability;

(b)Specified Indebtedness; and

(c)post-Closing covenants and agreements of Buyer contained in this Agreement.

Section X.4Indemnification Procedure.

(a)Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice from a third party of a threatened or filed complaint or the threatened or actual commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall provide written notification to Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim, whichever is the appropriate indemnifying Party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”); provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability under this Agreement with respect to such claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Party results in (i) the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or (ii) material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim. Buyer shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to control the defense of any Third Party Claim that (1) relates to the Business or the Group Companies, including those asserted on behalf of a customer or supplier of any Group Company, (2) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any Group Company or with respect to the Business or (3) alleges criminal liability with respect to any Group Company (together, the “Buyer Controlled Claims”), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Seller and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel, and, to the extent that a Buyer Controlled Claim is required to be indemnified by Seller pursuant to Section 10.2, Buyer’s reasonable expenses related to the defense of a Buyer Controlled Claim shall be borne and paid exclusively by Seller; provided, Seller shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Buyer Controlled Claim with counsel selected by Seller subject to Buyer’s right to control the defense thereof and Seller’s reasonable expenses related to such participation in a Buyer Controlled Claim shall be borne and paid exclusively by Seller. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep Seller reasonably apprised of the status of any Buyer Controlled Claim and to cooperate in good faith with each

-64-

other with respect to the defense of any such matter. For any Third Party Claim that is not a Buyer Controlled Claim, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party may join in the defense of such Third Party Claim at its sole expense and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party.

(b)No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c)If an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement not involving a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such claim. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such claim. As promptly as possible after the Indemnified Party has given such notice, such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall establish the merits and amount of such claim (by mutual agreement, arbitration, litigation or otherwise).

(i)Subject to Section 10.4(c)(ii), within five Business Days of the final determination of the merits and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party immediately available funds in an amount equal to such claim as determined hereunder, if any.

(ii)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, within five Business Days of the Final TX Determination Date, Seller’s indemnification obligations with respect to any State Tax Audit Losses shall be satisfied in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 1.1-P.

(d)Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes.

Section X.5Satisfaction of Seller Indemnification Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any liability of Seller or its Affiliates for indemnification obligations under this Agreement to any Buyer Indemnified Party shall be satisfied first by way of a reduction of the value of future Post-Closing Services that the Buyer Parties are obligated to provide to Seller pursuant to this Agreement and the Services Agreement as of such time, if any (and such Buyer Indemnified Party shall be deemed indemnified to the extent of such reduction in value, if any).

Section X.6Election of Claims. In the event that any Party alleges that they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, and that Party’s claim is covered under more than one provision of this Agreement, such Party shall be entitled to elect the provision or provisions under which it may bring a claim for indemnification. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event

-65-

shall the existence of multiple applicable provisions of this Agreement permit an Indemnified Party to recover the amount of any Losses suffered by such Party more than once.

Section X.7Exclusive Remedies. Except as provided for in Section 11.11 or in the case of Fraud, the Parties acknowledge and agree that following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties for the matters indemnified pursuant to this Article X, including with respect to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or any other Environmental, Health & Safety Law.

Section XI.3Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section XI.6Headings. The Article and Section headings contained in this Agreement are exclusively for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the Parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section XI.7Consent to Jurisdiction. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN ▇▇▇▇▇▇ COUNTY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY TRANSACTIONS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF THE SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY AGREES TO COMMENCE ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN ▇▇▇▇▇▇ COUNTY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF IMPROPER VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING SO BROUGHT AND WAIVES ANY BOND, SURETY OR OTHER SECURITY THAT MIGHT BE REQUIRED OF ANY OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT THERETO. ANY PARTY MAY MAKE SERVICE ON ANY OTHER PARTY BY SENDING OR DELIVERING A COPY OF THE PROCESS TO THE PARTY TO BE SERVED AT THE ADDRESS AND IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR THE GIVING OF NOTICES IN Section 11.2. NOTHING IN THIS Section 11.7, HOWEVER, SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AT EQUITY.

OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES, THE TRANSACTIONS AND THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE FOREGOING, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOMESTIC LAW OF THE STATE OF TEXAS WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

Section XI.11Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement could give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages may not be an adequate remedy and accordingly the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each Party shall be entitled, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article VIII, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce the terms of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to cause the other Parties to consummate the Transactions contemplated hereunder) by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled in Law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction. The Parties further agree that nothing set forth in this Section 11.11 shall require any Party to institute any Action for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any Action for) specific performance under this Section 11.11 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VIII (and pursuing damages after such termination).
