Section 5.5 Tax Matters.

(a) Seller and Buyer agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating directly to the Sold Companies (including access to books and records, employees, contractors and representatives) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any Action relating to any Tax Return. Seller and Buyer shall retain, all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Sold Companies until the expiration of all relevant statutes of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Seller and Buyer, as the case may be, any extensions thereof). At the end of such period, Seller shall provide the Buyer with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice before destroying any such books and records, during which period Buyer can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records.

(b) Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns in respect of the Sold Companies for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Sold Companies to the extent permitted by applicable Law and Buyer shall cause the Sold Companies to file such Tax Returns; provided, that Buyer may draw from the Escrow Account the amount of Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns of the Sold Companies at least two (2) Business Days before the date such Taxes are due, to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price Elements. Seller shall (x) provide Buyer with drafts of any such income Tax Returns for Buyer’s review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of such Tax Returns and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any such non-income Tax Returns for Buyer’s review and comment at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of such Tax Returns; provided, further, that Seller shall consider Buyer’s comments in good faith.

(c) Buyer shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, any Tax Returns of the Sold Companies for all Straddle Periods in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Sold Companies to the extent permitted under applicable Law and Buyer may draw from the Escrow Account the amount of such Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period that is deemed to end on the close of business on the Closing Date at least two (2) Business Days before the date such Taxes are due, to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price Elements; provided, that Buyer shall (i) provide Seller with drafts of any such income Tax Returns for Seller’s review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of such Tax Returns and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any such non-income Tax Returns for Seller’s review and comment at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of such Tax Returns; provided, further, that Buyer shall consider Seller’s comments in good faith. For the purposes of this Section 5.5(c) and Section 8.2(a)(v), the Tax that relates to the portion of the Straddle Period constituting the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall (i) in the case of Property Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and (y) the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any other Tax, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended at the close of business on the Closing Date.

(d) Buyer may, in its sole discretion, make an election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the Sold Companies other than Storage AZ Buyer shall provide notice to Seller upon making any such election and Seller shall provide such notice to its shareholders pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.338-2(e)(4). Buyer shall not make any Tax election under the Code with respect to Storage AZ that would cause the sale of Storage AZ stock to be treated as an asset sale for Tax purposes, including an election pursuant to Section 338 of the Code.

(e) Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer, or, after the Closing, the Sold Companies, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer or the Sold Companies become entitled, with respect to Taxes paid by the Sold Companies for a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date shall be for the account of Seller, except as noted below. Buyer shall promptly pay over to Seller the amount of any such refund or any such credit, less any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses or Taxes actually due as a result of such Tax refund, within five (5) days after the receipt or entitlement thereto, except to the extent such

refund arises as the result of a carryback of a loss or other tax benefit from a Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date or such refund was reflected in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price Elements. To the extent there is a taxable loss shown on Storage AZ’s U.S. federal income Tax Return for the taxable period ending on the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare, pursuant to the procedures set forth above in Section 5.5(b), a refund claim on IRS Form 1139 (or other applicable IRS Form and, to the extent possible, any corresponding state income Tax form or return) for the carryback of such loss. Upon reasonable request by Seller, and at the expense of Seller, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Sold Companies to seek refunds and credits described in this Section 5.5(e). To the extent any Tax refund or credit paid to Seller pursuant to this Section 5.5 or reflected in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price Elements is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Taxing Authority, Seller agrees promptly to repay the amount of such refund, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Taxing Authority, to Buyer.

During the Pre-Closing Period, (i) Seller shall allow Buyer to meet with Business Employees (either individually or in groups) during breaks, outside of scheduled work hours or as otherwise agreed to by the Seller and Buyer, in any case, as reasonably necessary in connection with the continued employment of the Business Employees after the Closing with Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Sold Companies); provided, that Seller shall have the right to have a representative present during any such contact between Buyer and any Business Employees, and (ii) Buyer shall provide to Seller each material written communication (including all forms of Offer Letters), Buyer or any of its Affiliates intends to deliver to any of the Business Employees regarding his or her continued employment after the Closing at least 48 hours prior to the delivery of such communication to the Business Employee and shall consider in good faith any comments to such communication Seller may provide to Buyer prior to the expiration of such 48-hour period before delivering such communication to the Business Employees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to encourage and facilitate each of the Business Employees entry into an Offer Letter as soon as reasonably practicable after the delivery of such Offer Letter to such Business Employee and to not revoke or repudiate such Offer Letter or otherwise cease to be employed by a Sold Company prior to the Closing Date, and neither Seller nor Buyer shall, and each of Seller and Buyer shall cause their Affiliates not to, make any communication to any Business Employee or engage in any other activity, in each case, that is intended to, or that would reasonably be expected to, discourage any Business Employee from promptly executing and delivering the Offer Letter delivered to such Business Employee pursuant to Section 5.6(a) or encourage any Business Employee or Key Employee to revoke or repudiate the Offer Letter or Key Employee Offer Letter, as applicable, of such Business Employee or Key Employee or otherwise cease to be employed by a Sold Company prior to the Closing Date.

under any defined benefit pension plan and any equity incentive plans) in Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ employee benefit plans, agreements, policies or other arrangements in which such Continuing Employees participate following the Closing Date (the “Buyer Benefit Plans”) (unless such credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period). In addition, (i) to the extent pre-existing condition limitations have been met or are otherwise inapplicable with respect to Continuing Employees under each Company Benefit Plan or Seller Benefit Plan, as applicable, that is an employee welfare benefit plan as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any such pre-existing condition limitations under the corresponding Buyer Benefit Plans and (ii) Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize (or cause to be recognized) the dollar amount of all expenses incurred by Continuing Employees and their respective spouses, same-sex domestic partners or dependents during the plan year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of satisfying the deductibles and co-payment or out-of-pocket limitations for such plan year under the relevant Buyer Benefit Plans (to the extent such recognition would have been given under comparable Company Benefit Plans or Seller Benefit Plans prior to the Closing).

(d) Buyer shall, or shall cause its respective Affiliates to, credit each Continuing Employee with the accrued and unused vacation days and any personal and sickness days accrued in accordance with the vacation and personnel policies of Seller, the Sold Companies or any of their respective Affiliates in effect as of the Closing.

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.5(e) are included for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall (i) create any third party beneficiary or other rights (x) in any other Person, including any current or former Business Employees, any participant in any Company Benefit Plan or any Seller Benefit Plan, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or any other service provider of Seller or the Sold Companies, or (y) to employment or continued employment with Buyer, the Sold Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) prevent or restrict in any way the right of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to terminate, reassign, promote or demote any employee, consultant, director, manager or other service provider of the Sold Companies (or to cause any of the foregoing actions) at any time, or to change (or cause the change of) the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation or terms or conditions of employment or service of any such service providers at any time, (iii) be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan, any Seller Benefit Plan, any Buyer Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or (iv) obligate Buyer or its Affiliates to adopt or maintain any particular plan or program or other compensatory or benefits arrangement at any time or prevent Buyer or its Affiliates from modifying or terminating any such plan, program or other compensatory or benefits arrangement at any time.

Buyer shall, or shall cause an Affiliate (including any of the Sold Companies) to, pay each former holder of a Vested Business Employee Option the Vested Business Employee Option Excess Amount Consideration (if any) with respect to such Vested Business Employee Option formerly held by such holder, in each case, subject to all applicable withholdings and

without interest, no later than the next payroll payment date that is no earlier than three (3) Business Days after the date Buyer (or such Affiliate) receives such Vested Business Employee Option Excess Amount Consideration (if any) from Seller pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.7(a), the amount of any employer payroll Taxes payable in connection with any Vested Business Employee Option Payment paid to any former holder of a Vested Business Employee Option shall be paid (A) by Seller, to the extent that the deduction for the corresponding Vested Business Employee Option Payment is required to be taken on or prior to the Closing Date, and (B) by Buyer, to the extent that the deduction for the corresponding Vested Business Employee Option Payment is required to be taken after the Closing Date.

(b) Assumed Business Employee Options.

(i) Prior to the Closing Date, each of Buyer and Seller shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions reasonably necessary to cause each Assumed Business Employee Option to be assumed by Buyer at the Closing in accordance with this Section 5.7(b)(i). Subject to the immediately following sentence, each Assumed Business Employee Option shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the Closing (including the vesting schedule and such

other terms and conditions as are set forth in the Seller Option Plan and the applicable stock option agreement with respect to such Assumed Business Employee Option, the forms of which have been previously provided to Buyer), except that such Assumed Business Employee Option thereafter shall be or become in accordance with its terms exercisable for that number of whole Buyer Shares equal to the product (rounded down to the next whole number of Buyer Shares) of (i) the number of Seller Shares that would have been issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Business Employee Option immediately prior to the Closing (assuming, solely for this purpose, that such Assumed Business Employee Option was vested and exercisable immediately prior to the Closing) multiplied by (ii) the Option Exchange Ratio, and the per share exercise price for the Buyer Shares payable upon exercise of such Assumed Business Employee Option shall be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the next whole cent) obtained by dividing (i) the per share exercise price of such Assumed Business Employee Option immediately prior to the Closing by (ii) the Option Exchange Ratio. At the Closing, the Seller Option Plan shall be deemed assumed by Buyer with respect to Assumed Business Employee Options.

(ii) As soon as administratively practicable after the Closing Date, Seller shall pay (or cause to be paid to) each holder of an Assumed Business Employee Option an amount in cash equal to the product (A) the Fully Diluted Per Share Portion of the Legacy Defense Value, multiplied by (B) the number of Seller Shares subject to such Assumed Business Employee Option immediately prior to the Closing, in each case, subject to all applicable withholdings and without interest.

(iii) Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) cause the Buyer Shares issuable upon exercise of the Assumed Business Employee Options to be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing (and in any event no later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date), (B) maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such Assumed Business Employee Options remain outstanding, and (C) maintain a sufficient number of reserved Buyer Shares for issuance upon exercise thereof.

(c) Reimbursement of Certain Costs and Expenses. The Seller Group agrees, to reimburse Buyer for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any allocation of Buyer’s overhead costs or the salary or benefits of any employees of Buyer or any of its Affiliates but shall include the costs and expenses of any independent contractors or other third parties engaged by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to the extent such engagement is directly related to administering the distribution of the payments contemplated by this Section 5.7(c)) incurred by Buyer in connection with administering the distribution of any payments received from Seller pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(iii) or Section 5.7(a)(iii) (including, without limitation, processing tax withholdings and payroll adjustments) to holders of the Vested Business Employee Options; provided, however, that the aggregate reimbursement obligation of the Seller Group pursuant to this Section 5.7(c) shall not exceed $100,000 without the prior written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 5.8 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) For a period of thirty (30) months following the Closing Date, each member of the Seller Group agrees that it will not, and will cause the other Remaining Entities not to, participate or engage in the manufacture, licensing, distribution or sale of any Enterprise Storage Device. For a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, each member of the Seller Group agrees that it will not, and will cause the other Remaining Entities not to, participate or engage in the design of, or to engage or direct any third party to design on behalf of any Remaining Entity, any Enterprise Storage Device. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.8(a) shall not (i) prohibit any member of the Seller Group or other Remaining Entity, directly or through any Affiliate, from hereafter (A) investing in or holding not more than 10% of the outstanding capital stock or other ownership interests of any Person or (B) acquiring and continuing to own and operate any Person that participates or engages in the manufacture, licensing, distribution, sale or design of any Enterprise Storage Device if such actions account for no more than 10% of such Person’s revenues for the trailing four quarters measured at the time of such acquisition; and (ii) apply to (A) any products that are manufactured by any of the Remaining Entities or any third parties that are bought and sold or otherwise handled by any of the Remaining Entities as a logistics provider, (B) any products for which any of the Remaining Entities is acting as a contract manufacturer, which products are manufactured based upon specifications, designs and software provided by third parties, (C) any products sold in Brazil that have a Serial ATA interface and the core performance and features of which have been designed by a third party, or (D) products for use in the Legacy Defense Business, the current part numbers of which are listed on Annex II of Exhibit A attached hereto. In the event that any member of the Seller Group or any of the other Remaining Entities shall sell to a Person any portion of their respective businesses (whether by means of acquisition, asset purchase, merger, consolidation, similar business combination or otherwise), the restrictions contained in this Section 5.8(a) shall not prohibit such sale and shall not apply to any such Person or such Person’s Affiliates (other than the Seller Group and the other Remaining Entities); provided, that the Seller Group shall continue to be bound by this Section 5.8(a) following such sale.

(b) For a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, each member of the Seller Group agrees that it will not, and will cause the other Remaining Entities not to, directly or indirectly, hire or employ or solicit the employment of, or make or extend any offer of employment to, any Business Employee who is then employed by Buyer or the Sold Companies or their Affiliates, or any Person who is covered by the immediately following sentence. The restrictions of this Section 5.8(b) shall cease to apply to a Business Employee three (3) months after the later of the date of termination of his or her employment with Buyer, any of the Sold Companies or any of their Affiliates, without any solicitation or encouragement by any Remaining Entity or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.8(b) shall restrict or preclude any Remaining Entity or its Affiliates from, directly or indirectly, hiring or employing or soliciting the employment of, or making or extending any offer of employment to, any Business Employee (i) resulting from generalized searches for employees by the use of advertisements in the media (including trade media) or by engaging search firms that are not instructed to solicit the Business Employees or (ii) if such Business Employee approaches any Remaining Entity or any of its Affiliates on an unsolicited basis.

(c) Each of Buyer and the Seller Group mutually agree that this Section 5.8 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s and the Seller Group’s legitimate business interests and the value of the business of the Sold Companies, the Sold Shares and the

Seller Group’s other businesses, and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on any party and their respective successors.

(d) If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in this Section 5.8 is invalid or unenforceable, then each member of the Seller Group and Buyer agree that the court or tribunal will have the power (but without affecting the right of any member of the Seller Group or Buyer to obtain the relief provided for in this Section 5.8 in any jurisdiction other than such court’s or tribunal’s jurisdiction) to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. To the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, each member of the Seller Group and hereby waives on its own behalf and on behalf of its successors, any provision of Law which renders any provision of this Section 5.8 invalid, void or unenforceable in any respect.

(e) Each member of the Seller Group acknowledges and agrees that the remedy of indemnity payments pursuant to ARTICLE VIII and the other remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.8 would be inadequate, and agrees that without intending to limit any additional available remedies, temporary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief (including specific performance) may be granted to Buyer without proof of actual damage or inadequacy of legal remedy, and without posting any bond or other undertaking, in any Action which may be brought to enforce this Section 5.8.

Section 5.9 Termination of Intercompany Arrangements.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a copy of a payoff letter (subject to Seller’s receipt of the Estimated Purchase Price pursuant Section 2.2(b)), in customary form, from SMART Worldwide under the Revolving Credit Agreement. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver all notices (which notices may be subject to the consummation of the Closing) and take all other actions to facilitate the termination of all commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the repayment in full of all Obligations (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) then outstanding to SMART Worldwide, the release of any Liens and termination of all guarantees in connection therewith on the Closing Date (such repayment, release and termination, the “Revolving Credit Agreement Release”); provided, that in no event shall this Section 5.9 require the Seller or any of the Sold Companies or its other Subsidiaries to cause such Revolving Credit Agreement Release unless the Closing shall occur substantially concurrently and the Seller has received the Estimated Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2(b). Upon receipt of the Estimated Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2(b), Seller shall repay or cause to be repaid to SMART Worldwide all Obligations outstanding as of the Closing Date.

(b) Excluding (i) the Revolving Credit Agreement (which is addressed in Section 5.9(a) above) and (ii) each of the Closing Agreements (which shall remain in effect following the Closing in accordance with their terms), Seller shall cause (i) all Contracts (other than the Contracts set forth on Section 5.9(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Existing Shared Services Agreements”)) between the Sold Companies, on the one hand, and any of the

Remaining Entities, on the other hand, to be terminated at or prior to the Closing, and shall cause any amounts payable thereunder to be paid as required prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Seller shall also cause the Existing Shared Services Agreements to be terminated at or prior to the Closing, provided that any outstanding receivables or payables between the Sold Companies, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Sold Companies), on the other hand, in each case arising under the Existing Shared Services Agreements (the “Interdivisional Payables and Receivables”) shall remain outstanding and shall be paid and satisfied by the party that is the obligor in accordance with the terms thereof (and the termination of the Existing Shared Services Agreements shall not otherwise relieve the obligor of such obligations under such Interdivisional Payables and Receivables); provided, that the termination of any such Contracts, is not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, impair, alter, or change any of the Sold Companies’ or the Remaining Entities’ ownership rights in the assets of their respective businesses.

(c) Buyer agrees to take any and all actions necessary to cause Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Sold Companies) to be absolutely and unconditionally relieved, on or prior to the Closing Date, of all liabilities and obligations arising out of the Westford LC.

The requesting party shall bear all out of pocket costs and expenses in connection with the foregoing.

Section 8.3 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, each of its Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives and Affiliates (the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and in respect and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Seller Indemnified Persons for any and all Losses that they may incur arising out of or resulting from:

(a) any breach of any representations or warranties of Buyer set forth in ARTICLE IV;

(b) any failure of Buyer to perform any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement;

(d) the conduct and operation of the businesses of the Sold Companies (excluding the Legacy Defense Business) before and following the Closing;

(e) any severance obligations payable to any Continuing Employee arising after the Closing due to any actions or inactions taken by, or at the direction of, Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Sold Companies), other than any severance obligations that constitute Unpaid Sold Company Transaction Expenses.

Section 8.4 Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a party hereto in respect of a breach of representation or warranty, covenant or agreement shall terminate on the applicable survival termination date (as set forth in Section 8.1), unless an Indemnified Party shall have incurred a Loss prior to such applicable survival termination date and made a proper claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VIII, prior to such survival termination date, as applicable, including by delivering an Officer’s Claim Certificate to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 8.9. If an Indemnified Party has made a proper claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 and in accordance with Section 8.9 prior to such survival termination date, then such claim for such Loss incurred (and only such claim for such Loss incurred), if then unresolved, shall not be extinguished by the passage of the deadlines set forth in Section 8.1.

Section 8.5 Notice and Opportunity to Defend. Other than with respect to Tax Claims (which shall be governed by Section 8.6), if there occurs an event which a party asserts is an indemnifiable event pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, the party or parties seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the other party or parties obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly. If such event involves any claim or the commencement of any Action by a third Person (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party will give such Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to provide prompt notice as provided herein will relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only if, and to the extent that, such failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party hereunder. In the event of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may only assume the defense of a Third Party Claim if (a) it acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing and without reservation of rights (subject to the limitations in this ARTICLE VIII) that there exists an indemnification obligation relating to such claim, (b) if such claim is an Escrow Limited Claim, the amount claimed in such claim is less than or equal to the current balance of the Escrow Account, (c) such claim does not primarily seek as a remedy the imposition of an equitable remedy that is binding upon Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any of the Sold Companies), (d) such claim does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal claim brought by a Governmental Entity, (e) such claim does not involve a Top Customer or Top Supplier and (f) an adverse resolution of such claim would not reasonably be expected to have material adverse effect on the business or operations of Buyer. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of such election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party hereunder for any legal costs or expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with such participation. In either case, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree to cooperate fully with each other and their respective counsel in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. In no event may the Indemnifying Party consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Third Party Claim (other than a judgment or settlement that (A) is on exclusively monetary terms with such monetary amounts paid by the Indemnifying Party concurrently with the effectiveness of the settlement, (B) does not involve any finding or admission of violation of Law or admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, and (C) provides a complete and unconditional release of, or dismissal with prejudice of, all claims against any Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third Party Claim for all matters asserted in connection with such Third Party Claim) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 8.6 Procedures for Tax Claims. If a tax audit or other claim shall be made against Buyer, the Sold Companies or their Affiliates by any Taxing Authority, which, if successful, would result in an indemnity payment by Seller pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(a)(ii) with respect to a breach of Seller’s representations or warranties in Section 3.8

or pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(v) (a “Tax Claim”), Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing of such Tax Claim stating the nature and basis of such Tax Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known by Buyer; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Buyer to so notify Seller shall not limit any indemnification obligations of Seller under ARTICLE VIII (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of the Tax Claim). If such Tax Claim is with respect to Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than any Straddle Periods), Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to control, at its own expense, the conduct and resolution of such Tax Claim, provided that Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of all material developments on a timely basis and Buyer shall have the right to participate in such Tax Claim and, at its own expense, employ counsel of its choice for purposes of such participation. Seller shall not compromise or settle such Tax Claim without the Buyer’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If a Tax Claim is not controlled by Seller pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 8.6, Buyer shall control the conduct and resolution of such Tax Claim, provided that Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed of all material developments on a timely basis and Seller shall have the right to participate in such Tax Claim and, at its own expense, employ counsel of its choice for purposes of such participation. Buyer shall not compromise or settle such Tax Claim without the Seller’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 8.7 Other Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the amount of any Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be calculated net of (a) any insurance proceeds actually received in cash (net of any applicable deductibles, co-payments, “retro premium” adjustments and similar costs or payments) by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates on account of such Loss, (b) any Tax Benefits inuring to the Indemnified Party on account of such Loss and (c) any indemnification, contribution or other payment actually received in cash (net of any applicable costs of recovery or collection thereof) from any third Person with respect to such Loss. The Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) seek full recovery from any third parties and under all insurance policies covering, and all right to indemnification and/or contribution from third Persons in respect of, any Loss and (B) mitigate any actual or potential Loss, in each case to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII (including, for example, Buyer’s judgment regarding the impact such actions might have on customers and other third parties having material continuing business relationships with the Sold Companies). In the event that an insurance, indemnification, contribution or other recovery is made or a Tax benefit described in this Section 8.7(b) is realized by the Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss for which it has been indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery or benefit shall be paid promptly in immediately available funds to the Indemnifying Party that provided such indemnification to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party receives a Tax Benefit after an indemnification payment is made to it pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party that made such indemnification payment the amount of such Tax Benefit at such time or times as and to the extent that such Tax Benefit is realized by the Indemnified Party. For purposes hereof, “Tax Benefit” shall mean, with respect to any applicable Loss, any cash Tax savings or refunds that are received and actually recognized by the Indemnified Party in the tax year of the respective Loss, and any amounts actually credited against cash Taxes payable of the Indemnified Party in the tax year of the respective Loss, in each case determined on a with and without basis (comparing the actual

cash Tax liability of the Indemnified Party for the applicable year against the hypothetical cash Tax liability of the Indemnified Party had such Loss not been incurred); provided, that no Tax Benefit shall be taken into account with respect to a Loss to the extent such Loss (or the receipt of an indemnity payment in respect of such Loss) would result in a reduction of Tax basis in depreciable or amortizable property; provided, further, that in no event shall the Tax Benefit be deemed to exceed the amount of any indemnification payment paid to the Indemnified Party. The Seller Indemnified Persons or the Buyer Indemnified Persons, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to recover more than once for the same Loss. No Seller Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover any Loss if and to the extent such Loss is reflected in the calculation of Closing Indebtedness, Unpaid Sold Company Transaction Expenses or Closing Net Working Capital.

Section 8.8 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 8.9 Procedures for Claims.

(a) If at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period for a representation or warranty in Section 8.1, an Indemnified Party (or Seller or Buyer, as applicable, on behalf thereof) determines in good faith that it has a bona fide claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, such Indemnified Party may deliver to the Indemnifying Party a certificate signed by any officer of the Indemnified Party (any certificate delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.9(a), an “Officer’s Claim Certificate”):

(i) stating that an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII;

(ii) to the extent possible, containing a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to receive as a claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, which shall be the amount of Losses such Indemnified Party claims to have so incurred or suffered or could reasonably be expected to incur or suffer; and

(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by the Indemnified Party) the material facts known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such claim.

No delay in providing such Officer’s Claim Certificate prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period for a representation or warranty in Section 8.1 shall affect an Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Claim Certificate to the Indemnifying Party, a duplicate copy of such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party in good faith objects to any claim made by an Indemnified Party in any Officer’s Claim Certificate, then the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to the Indemnified Party during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Officer’s Claim Certificate. A duplicate copy of such Claim Dispute Notice shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail, if and to the extent that such detail is available based upon the information available to such Indemnifying Party at such time, the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made by the Indemnified Party in the Officer’s Claim Certificate. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to the Indemnified Party prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, then (i) each claim for indemnification set forth in such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in the Indemnified Party’s favor for purposes of this ARTICLE VIII on the terms set forth in the Officer’s Claim Certificate and (ii) if cash remains in the Escrow Account, then the Indemnified Party may direct the Escrow Agent to deliver cash from the Escrow Account to the Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 8.9(c).

(d) If the Indemnifying Party delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised by the Indemnifying Party in such Claim Dispute Notice. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, if cash remains in the Escrow Account, promptly delivered to the Escrow Agent, together with a Joint Direction (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) from Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Escrow Agreement directing the Escrow Agent to distribute cash from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of such memorandum.

(e) If no such resolution can be reached during the 45-day period following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party may bring suit to resolve the objection in accordance with Section 9.1 and Section 9.13.

Section 8.10 Procedures for Release of Escrow Account.

(a) On the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall deliver a Joint Direction to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Escrow Agreement to release an amount from the Escrow Account to Seller equal to (i) the balance of the Escrow Account (if any) at such date less (ii) the aggregate amount of any outstanding unresolved claims of Buyer Indemnified Persons for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 set forth in a Claim Dispute Notice (each such claim, an “Unresolved Claim”). The aggregate amount of any Unresolved Claims retained in the Escrow Account in accordance with the preceding sentence is referred to as the “Retained Escrow Amount”).

(b) In the event and to the extent that (i) all or any portion of the amount of an Unresolved Claim is resolved against the relevant Buyer Indemnified Persons (such amount, a “Seller Favorable Outcome”) and (ii) the aggregate Retained Escrow Amount at such time

exceeds the amount of the aggregate Unresolved Claims after giving effect to such Seller Favorable Outcome (such excess, if any, the “Retained Escrow Excess”), Buyer and Seller shall deliver a Joint Direction to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Escrow Agreement to release an amount from the Escrow Account to Seller equal to such Retained Escrow Excess.

(c) In the event and to the extent that all or any portion of the amount of an Unresolved Claim is resolved in favor of the relevant Buyer Indemnified Persons (such amount, a “Buyer Favorable Outcome”), Buyer and Seller shall deliver a Joint Direction to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Escrow Agreement to release an amount from the Escrow Account to Seller equal to such Buyer Favorable Outcome.

Section 8.11 Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.5, Section 2.6 and, the indemnification provided in this ARTICLE VIII, subject to the limitations set forth herein, shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any party in connection with any Losses arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 8.11 shall limit or restrict the ability or right of any party hereto (x) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief for any breach or alleged breach of any provision of ARTICLE II, ARTICLE V, ARTICLE VIII or ARTICLE IX or (y) to pursue claims for actual fraud (without duplication for any Losses recovered pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE VIII); provided, that (i) any procedures in respect of and limitations on Losses or liabilities in this ARTICLE VIII shall in no event be diminished or circumvented by such relief and (ii) any such claim for actual fraud shall be subject to the limitation set forth in Section 8.2(b)(v). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer Indemnified Persons may not avoid any limitation on liability by (A) seeking damages, subject to the foregoing clause (y), for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, all of which are hereby waived or (B) 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 and covenants contained in this Agreement. EACH OF THE BUYER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AFFORDED BY ANY STATUTE WHICH LIMITS THE EFFECT OF A RELEASE WITH RESPECT TO UNKNOWN CLAIMS. EACH OF THE BUYER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS UNDERSTANDS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS AND WAIVER OF STATUTORY PROTECTION AGAINST A RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS. EACH OF THE BUYER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL AND MATERIAL TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT. The parties hereto agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on the Buyer Indemnified Persons’ remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including Section 8.2 and Section 8.3) were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to Seller hereunder.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Governing Law.

Section 9.2 Materiality; Disclosure Schedules. As used in this Agreement, unless the context would require otherwise, the term “material” and the concept of the “material” nature of an effect upon the Sold Companies shall be measured relative to the Sold Companies, taken as a whole. There have been included in the Seller Disclosure Schedule and/or the Buyer Disclosure Schedule and may be included elsewhere in this Agreement items which are not “material” within the meaning of the immediately preceding sentence for informational purposes and in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and such inclusion, or any references to dollar amounts, shall not be deemed to be an agreement or admission by Seller or Buyer that such items are “material” or to further define the meaning of such term for purposes of this Agreement. With respect to the Seller Disclosure Schedule and Buyer Disclosure Schedule hereto, the disclosures made on any Schedule with respect to any representation or warranty shall be deemed to be made with respect to any other representation or warranty to which it relates or to which such matter’s application or relevance is reasonably apparent.

Section 9.3 Expenses; Transfer Taxes.

No failure to enforce or delay in enforcing any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of such

provision and no waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by either party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy by such party.

Section 9.6 Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable by any party (including by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except that Buyer may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to (i) one or more of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, (ii) to a lender of Buyer as collateral for bona fide indebtedness for money borrowed or (iii) in connection with a merger, consolidation, conversion or sale of assets of Buyer; provided, that such transfer or assignment shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other party hereto or due to Buyer.

This Agreement (including the Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto), the Nondisclosure Agreement, the Closing Agreements and the other documents and writings referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that to the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby, this Agreement shall govern and control.

Section 9.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail (in portable document format)), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and each of which shall be deemed an original.

Section 9.10 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.11 Severability. If any condition, term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other conditions, terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby 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 hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties intend that the provisions of ARTICLE VII and ARTICLE VIII, including the remedies (and limitations thereon) and the limitations on representations, warranties and covenants, be construed as integral provisions of this Agreement and that such provisions, remedies and limitations shall not be severable in any manner that diminishes a party’s rights hereunder or increases a party’s liability or obligations hereunder.

Section 9.12 Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person not a party to this Agreement except (i) shall be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the D&O Indemnified Persons, (ii) ARTICLE VIII shall be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the Buyer Indemnified Persons and the Seller Indemnified Persons (provided, that no Indemnified Party may bring a claim for indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE VIII without the prior written consent of Buyer or Seller, as the case may be), (iii) Section 9.15 shall be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, STB and (iv) Section 9.17 shall be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the Nonparty Affiliates of the parties.

Section 9.13 Consent to Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware located in Dover, Delaware (and any appellate court thereof), or if such court does not have (or declines to accept) jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware located in Wilmington, Delaware (and any appellate court thereof) for the purposes of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such Action shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware located in Dover, Delaware (and any appellate court thereof), or if such court does not have (or declines to accept) jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware located in Wilmington, Delaware (and any appellate court thereof). Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally and fully waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action. Each of the parties hereto further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document to such party’s respective address listed above in one of the manners set forth in Section 9.7 hereof shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process in any such Action. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Person to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives (x) to the fullest extent permitted by Law any objection to the laying of venue of any Action arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (A) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware located in Dover, Delaware (and any appellate court thereof) or (B) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware located in Wilmington, Delaware (and any appellate court thereof), (y) waives to the fullest extent permitted by Law and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (z) agrees that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, PERFORMANCE, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT THERETO. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR

ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.13(B).

Section 9.14 Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of Seller to Buyer under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled completely by an Affiliate of Seller, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by Seller.

Section 9.15 Provision Respecting Legal Representation. It is acknowledged by Buyer that each of the Seller Group members, the Sold Companies, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and certain of their respective Affiliates have retained STB to act as its counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that STB has not acted as counsel for any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that none of the other parties has the status of a client of STB for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. Each of Seller and Buyer hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer or any of the Sold Companies, on the one hand, and any of the Seller Group members, on the other hand, STB may represent such Seller Group member in such dispute even though the interests of such Seller Group member may be directly adverse to Buyer or any of the Sold Companies, and even though STB formerly may have represented each of the Seller Group members, the Sold Companies, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and certain of their respective Affiliates in a matter substantially related to such dispute; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply if STB, at the time of such dispute, is handling ongoing matters for Buyer or any of the Sold Companies. Buyer further agrees that, in connection with any future dispute between Buyer, any of the Sold Companies and/or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of the Seller Group members, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and/or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as to all communications among STB, the Seller Group members, the Sold Companies, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and their respective Affiliates that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the applicable Seller Group member, the applicable Sold Company, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and/or the applicable Affiliate, as the case may be, and may be controlled by the applicable Seller Group member, the applicable Sold Company, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and/or the applicable Affiliate, as the case may be, and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

Section 9.16 Enforcement of Agreement. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by any party could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which any party may be entitled at law or in equity, before or after the Closing each of the parties shall be entitled to enforce any

provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or inadequacy of legal remedy, and without posting any bond, security or other undertaking.
