The Final Closing Statement (i) shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the Applicable Accounting Principles and the Sample Statement and (ii) shall be based exclusively on the facts and circumstances as they exist prior to the Closing and shall exclude the effects of any event, act, change in circumstances or similar development arising or occurring (except with respect to Transaction Expenses) after the Closing (except, in each case, as necessary to give effect to the Reorganization). To the extent any actions following the Closing with respect to the accounting books and records of the Companies on which the Final Closing Statement and the foregoing calculations are to be based are not consistent with the Applicable Accounting Principles, such changes shall not be taken into account in preparing the Final Closing Statement or calculating amounts reflected thereon.

(b) The Final Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the 30th day following delivery thereof, unless prior to the end of such period, the Seller delivers to the Buyer written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) specifying the nature and amount of any dispute as to the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses, as set forth in the Final Closing Statement. The Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses not specifically referenced in the Notice of Disagreement, and such items and amounts shall not be subject to review in accordance with Section 2.5(c).

(c) During the 30-day period following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement by the Seller to the Buyer, the Parties in good faith shall seek to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the calculation of the Closing Net Working

Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses as specified therein. Any disputed items resolved in writing between the Buyer and the Seller within such 30-day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if the Seller and the Buyer agree in writing on the resolution of each disputed item specified by the Seller in the Notice of Disagreement and the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Closing Transaction Expenses, the amounts so determined shall be final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder. If the Buyer and the Seller have not resolved all such differences by the end of such 30-day period, the Buyer and the Seller shall submit, in writing, to an independent public accounting firm (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), their briefs detailing their views as to the correct nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute and the amounts of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall make a written determination as to each such disputed item and the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be Deloitte or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed in writing by the Seller and the Buyer. The Buyer and the Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within 30 days following the submission thereof. The Independent Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in the Buyer’s and the Seller’s respective calculations of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses that are identified as being items and amounts to which the Buyer and the Seller have been unable to agree. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to correcting mathematical errors and determining whether the items and amounts in dispute were determined in accordance with this Agreement, the Applicable Accounting Principles and the Sample Statement and the Independent Accounting Firm is not to make any other determination, including any determination as to whether the Target Net Working Capital or any estimates on the Preliminary Closing Statement are correct, adequate or sufficient. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Closing Transaction Expenses shall be based solely on written materials submitted by the Buyer and the Seller (i.e., not on independent review). The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties hereto and shall not be subject to appeal or further review, absent manifest error.

(d) The costs of any dispute resolution pursuant to this Section 2.5, including the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and of any enforcement of the determination thereof, shall be borne by the Seller and the Buyer in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. The fees and disbursements of the Representatives of each Party incurred in connection with the preparation or review of the Final Closing Statement and preparation or review of any Notice of Disagreement, as applicable, shall be borne by such Party.

(e) The Buyer and the Seller will, and will cause the Companies (in the case of the Seller, prior to the Closing and, in the case of the Buyer, during the period from and after the date of delivery of the Final Closing Statement through the resolution of any adjustment to the Cash Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 2.5) to afford the other Party and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the personnel, properties, books and records of the TS Business and to any other information reasonably requested for purposes of preparing and reviewing the calculations contemplated by this Section 2.5.

As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and represents a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Buyer and to the Knowledge of the Buyer, each other party thereto, subject to the qualification that such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Laws of general application relating to or affecting rights of creditors and that equitable remedies, including specific performance, are discretionary and may not be ordered. The Buyer has fully paid (or caused to be paid) any and all commitment fees and other amounts that are due and payable on or prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with the Financing. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III such that the condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) is satisfied, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably constitute a breach or default on the part of the Buyer or, to the Knowledge of the Buyer, any other party thereto under the Debt Commitment Letter. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.3 of this Agreement, the Buyer has no reason to believe that it or any other party thereto will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis its obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter. There are no conditions precedent related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than those expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter. Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.3 of this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement, the Buyer has no reason to believe that (i) any of the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter will not be satisfied or (ii) the Financing will not be made available to the Buyer on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are not contingent upon the receipt or availability of the debt financing under the Debt Commitment Letter or otherwise.

Section 4.5 Solvency. Assuming (i) satisfaction of the conditions contained in Section 6.1 and Section 6.3 and (ii) the forecasts provided to the Buyer by the Seller with respect to the TS Business were prepared in good faith based on assumptions that continue to be reasonable (provided, nothing in this Section 4.5 or otherwise shall be construed as a representation or warranty by the Seller regarding any such forecasts), immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the purchase of the Interests, the refinancing of any Indebtedness contemplated to be repaid or refinanced by the Buyer, and the payment of all related fees and expenses), the Companies will be Solvent. “Solvent” means that, as of any date of determination: (a) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, exceeds, as of such date, the sum of all “debts” of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, including contingent liabilities, as such quoted terms are generally understood in accordance with applicable federal Law governing the insolvency of debtors; (b) the Companies will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the TS Business; and (c) the TS Business will be able to pay its debts, including contingent liabilities, as they mature.

Section 4.6 SEC Filings.

None of the Buyer SEC Documents when filed or furnished or, if amended prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date of such amendment, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no outstanding or unresolved comments received from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Buyer SEC Documents.

(b) The consolidated financial statements of the Buyer included or incorporated by reference in the Buyer SEC Documents comply, as of their respective dates and, if amended, as of the date of the last such amendment, in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q) and fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial

position of the Buyer and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments, the absence of notes and other adjustments described therein).

(c) There is no Liability of the Buyer or its Subsidiaries of a type required to be reflected or reserved for on a consolidated balance sheet of the Buyer or in the notes thereto prepared in accordance with GAAP, except for (i) Liabilities reflected or reserved for in the financial statements included in the most recent Buyer SEC Documents, (ii) Liabilities that have arisen since August 31, 2016 in the ordinary course of the operation of its business, (iii) Liabilities arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or (iv) Liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, that have not had and would not have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The Share Consideration being delivered by the Buyer to the Seller hereunder is and shall be duly authorized and shall upon delivery be validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and owned of record and beneficially by the Seller, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Encumbrances expressly created by this Agreement or by the Seller).

If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing Date, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(b) From and after the Closing, the Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, keep confidential any and all non-public information relating to the TS Business; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be liable hereunder with respect to any disclosure to the extent such disclosure is required by any applicable Law or Order, including applicable rules of any securities exchange.

(a) Each of the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as promptly as practicable, including to (i) as promptly as practicable (and, with respect to the HSR Act, in no event later than 15 days after the date hereof and, with respect to a Form CO filing under the EC Merger Regulation, submission of a draft Form CO that is as complete as reasonably practicable within 60 days after the date hereof) make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required

submissions, with respect to this Agreement required under any applicable Antitrust Laws and (ii) obtain from Governmental Authorities and other Persons all consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders (“Consents”) as are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. The Buyer shall pay all filing fees and other charges for the filing under any applicable Antitrust Law by the Parties hereto.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require, or be construed to require the Buyer or any of its Affiliates to (and the Seller shall not and shall cause the Companies and each of their Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent may be withheld for any reason), in connection with obtaining any Consent under any Antitrust Law (i) litigate with or otherwise participate in any Action with any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining any Consent pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) effect or agree to (A) any sale, license, divestiture or other disposition or holding separate (through establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any capital stock, businesses, assets (tangible or intangible), properties or other interests of the Buyer, the TS Business, the Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, (B) the imposition of any limitation, restriction or condition on the ability of the Buyer, the TS Business, the Companies or any of their respective Affiliates to conduct their respective businesses or own, acquire, hold or exercise full rights of ownership of any capital stock, businesses, assets (tangible or intangible), properties or other interests of the Buyer, the TS Business, the Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, or (C) any material modification or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (clauses (A), (B) and (C) collectively, “Antitrust Actions”); unless such Antitrust Action (x) is conditioned upon and becomes effective only from and after the Closing and (y) would result in, individually and in the aggregate with all other Antitrust Actions, a reduction in expected gross revenues of the Buyer and its Subsidiaries (post-Closing) not in excess of $350,000,000 (any such Antitrust Action that the Buyer is not required to effect or agree to pursuant to this sentence, a “Burdensome Condition”). Buyer shall only be required to take or permit any Antitrust Action that is conditioned upon and becomes effective only from and after the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event will the Seller (and the Seller will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to) propose, negotiate, effect or agree to any such actions without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

(c) Except as prohibited by applicable Law or Order and subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, the Parties will use reasonable best efforts to coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods under any applicable Antitrust Law, including under the HSR Act. Each of the Buyer and the Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the foregoing or pursuant to any applicable Antitrust Law. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, the Parties will provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Each Party shall notify the other Party on a reasonably timely basis of any communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and shall to the extent reasonably practicable permit the other Party to review in advance any proposed communication by such Party to any Governmental Authority. To the extent reasonably practicable, no Party shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Buyer shall control and lead the communications and strategy relating to obtaining all approvals, consents, waivers, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or other third-party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to any litigation arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Buyer shall consult in advance with the Seller and in good faith take the Seller’s views into account regarding the overall strategic direction of any such approval process, as applicable, and consult with the Seller prior to making, and provide the Seller with the opportunity to make comments on (which comments will be considered by the Buyer in good faith), any filings, motions or other material communications or entering into any negotiations concerning such approvals, as applicable.

(e) Each of the Buyer and the Seller shall, and the Seller shall cause the Companies and their Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to give all notices to, and obtain all Consents from, all Persons required pursuant to any TS Contract (including any Material Contract) and any Permit of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, and the Buyer shall bear any reasonable costs and expenses payable to any Person (other than the Seller or any of its Affiliates) in connection with obtaining any such Consents. Certain Consents and waivers with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to Contracts to which the Seller, the Companies or any of the Companies’ Subsidiaries is a party that have not been and may not be obtained. Assuming the Seller complies with its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7, the Seller shall not have any liability to the Buyer arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any Consents or waivers that may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the termination of any Contract as a result thereof, and no such failure or termination shall result in the failure of any condition set forth in Article VI.

(f) The Seller shall, with respect to each Subsidiary of the Seller with a facility security clearance, use reasonable best efforts to provide such notices to, or procure such Consents from, the Defense Security Service as is required under applicable Law. The Buyer shall cooperate with the Seller in connection with the Seller’s obligations under this Section 5.7(f).

Section 5.8 Public Announcements and Employee Communications. On and after the date hereof and through the Closing Date, and except for the press release or releases to be issued by the Parties on the date hereof, each in the form previously agreed, the Seller and the Buyer shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statement or any communications with NewCo Employees with respect to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the

transactions contemplated thereby, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement or any such employee communication prior to obtaining the other Party’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except that no such approval shall be necessary to the extent disclosure may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement of any Party hereto.

Section 5.9 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a) For a period of six years after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall, and shall cause the Companies and their Subsidiaries to, ensure that all rights to indemnification and exculpation existing immediately prior to the date hereof in favor of any Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, an officer, director, employee or agent of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries as provided in the indemnification agreements to which any of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries is a party, which indemnification and exculpation provisions are on substantially the same terms as those included in the form of indemnification agreement provided to the Buyer prior to the date hereof, are fulfilled and honored in all respects.

(b) For a period of six years from the Closing Date, the Buyer shall cause the Companies and their Subsidiaries to maintain, if available, officers’ and directors’ liability insurance covering the Persons who are presently covered by their officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policies with respect to actions and omissions occurring prior to the Closing Date, providing coverage not less favorable than provided by such insurance in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall the Companies or their Subsidiaries be obligated to pay annual premiums greater than 200% of such premiums paid or payable as of the date hereof; provided further, that if the annual premium for such coverage and amount of insurance would exceed 200% of such current annual rate, the Companies and their Subsidiaries shall provide the maximum coverage that shall then be available at an annual premium equal to 200% of such rate. The Buyer shall cause the Companies and their Subsidiaries to pay such premiums.

(c) In the event the Buyer, the Companies or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in either such case, the Buyer shall make proper provisions so that the successors and assigns of the Buyer or the Companies, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.9 shall survive the consummation of the Closing and continue for the periods specified herein. This Section 5.9 is intended to benefit the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Companies and their Subsidiaries and any other Person or entity (and their respective heirs, successors and assigns) referenced in this Section 5.9 or indemnified hereunder, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.9 (whether or not parties to this Agreement). Each of the Persons referenced in the immediately preceding sentence are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.9.

Section 5.10 Use of Names, Marks and Intellectual Property Matters.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the Ancillary Agreements, the Seller is not conveying ownership rights or granting the Buyer, any Affiliate of the Buyer or the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries a license to use the Marks of the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller (including the name “Avnet” or any ▇▇▇▇ incorporating the name “Avnet”) and, after the Closing, the Buyer shall not permit the Companies or any Affiliate of the Companies to use in any manner such Marks of the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller or any word that is likely to cause confusion therewith (such Marks, collectively, the “Retained Marks”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller hereby consents to the use of the Retained Marks by the Companies and their Subsidiaries in connection with copies of the TS Business’s existing marketing, promotional and sales materials, stationary, letterhead, business cards, signs, billboards, advertisements, vehicle and equipment markings, invoices, purchase orders, forms, remaining inventory and other media including respective online material and substantially similar reproductions thereof made in the ordinary course of business; provided, that the Companies and their Subsidiaries shall only use such materials during the first 180 days following the Closing and that, upon the Buyer’s reasonable request, the Seller will provide assistance (at the Buyer’s cost) to the Buyer in its efforts to discontinue such use. As promptly as practicable, and in any event no later than 180 days after the Closing, the Buyer shall take all necessary corporate action to cause the corporate names of the Companies and their applicable Subsidiaries to be changed to a name that does not include the word “Avnet.”

(b) Effective upon the Closing, the Seller hereby grants, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to grant, the Buyer and its Affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable and sublicensable license under any Intellectual Property owned or Sublicensable by the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Marks and third-party Software that is not Sublicensable) used in the TS Business that is not owned by the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries as of the Closing to make, have made, use, offer for sale, sell, import and otherwise exploit any product, process or service, including any Intellectual Property that is related to the Shared Assets (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement). For purposes of this Section 5.10(b), “Sublicensable” means that the Seller or one of its Subsidiaries has the right to grant licenses or sublicenses to the Buyer within the scope granted herein without requiring any third party consent or resulting in the payment of royalties or other consideration by the Seller or its Subsidiaries to third parties. Without limiting the representations and warranties set forth in Article III hereof, the Intellectual Property licensed pursuant to this Section 5.10(b) is furnished “as is”, with all faults and without warranty of any kind, express, implied, statutory or otherwise.

Section 5.11 Employee Matters. The Parties acknowledge and agree that matters relating to employees of the TS Business are as set forth in the Employee Matters Agreement.

Section 5.12 Tax Matters.

(a) Any sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary, excise, real property transfer, mortgage, recordation or similar Taxes (including all interest and penalties and additions imposed with respect to such amounts) incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne 50% by the Buyer and 50% by the Seller (other than any Transfer Taxes incurred as a result of the Reorganization, which shall be borne 100% by the Seller).

(b) None of the Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Companies and their Subsidiaries) shall (except, in each case, as required by applicable Law) (i) carry back any net operating loss or other Tax attribute or item from a taxable year or taxable period commencing after the Closing Date to a taxable year or taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or (ii) amend any Return filed with respect to a taxable year or taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (including any Pre-Closing Straddle Period), or (iii) make or change any accounting method or any Tax election with respect to the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries relating to a taxable year or taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (including any Pre-Closing Straddle Period), in each case, without the prior consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless required by applicable Law.

(c) The Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared all U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. Returns required to be filed under applicable Law by the Companies and their Subsidiaries, or with respect to the TS Business, after the Closing for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods other than for Pre-Closing Straddle Periods, and shall deliver such Returns to the Buyer for review and comment no less than 20 days prior to the applicable filing deadline (taking into account applicable extensions or, if the filing deadline is within 20 days after the end of the relevant taxable period, as soon as practicable before the filing deadline), and the Buyer shall have the right to review and provide comments, at the Buyer’s cost and expense, on such draft Returns to the Seller within 15 days prior to the filing deadline (or if the filing deadline is within 15 days after the Buyer receives the Returns, as soon as practicable before the filing deadline). The Seller shall consider in good faith any comment or revision reasonably requested by the Buyer on such Returns prior to filing. Such Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior taxable periods unless a different treatment of any item is required by Law. The party responsible for filing such Returns under applicable Law (whether the Buyer, the Seller, the Companies, or the Companies’ Subsidiaries) shall timely file such Returns (taking into account any extensions received from the relevant taxing authorities). If a Return described in this Section 5.12(c) is filed by the Buyer or the Companies or one of the Companies’ Subsidiaries, the Seller shall pay (or caused to be paid to) the filing party the amount of Taxes shown as due on such Return on the applicable due date, except to the extent such Taxes are taken into account in the determination of Closing Indebtedness or Closing Net Working Capital.

(d) The Buyer shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared all Returns, other than Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods to be filed by the Seller pursuant to Section 5.12(c), required by applicable Law to be filed by the Companies or their Subsidiaries or with respect to the TS Business after the Closing Date, including Returns with respect to a Straddle Period, it being understood that, except as provided in the following sentence, all Taxes indicated as due and payable on such Returns (whether or not prepared by the Buyer) shall be the responsibility of the Seller to the extent they constitute Pre-Closing Taxes. In the case of Returns prepared by the Buyer that include any Pre-Closing Taxes or any amounts attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller such Returns, together with the calculation of Pre-Closing Taxes (including Pre-Closing Straddle Period Taxes), the Buyer determines to be due from the Seller, no less than 20 days prior to the applicable filing deadline (taking into account

applicable extensions or, if the filing deadline is within 20 days after the end of the relevant taxable period, as soon as practicable before the filing deadline), and the Seller shall have the right to review and provide comments on such Returns, at the Seller’s cost and expense, within 15 days prior to the applicable filing deadline (or if the applicable filing deadline is within 15 days after the Seller receives the Returns, as soon as practicable before the filing deadline). The Buyer shall incorporate all of the Seller’s reasonable comments or revisions on such Returns unless such comments have an adverse effect on the Buyer that is material to the Buyer. To the extent such comments or revisions provided by the Seller have an adverse effect on the Buyer, the Buyer shall consider in good faith such comments or revisions and any disputes shall be resolved in the manner set forth in Section 2.5(c) and Section 2.5(d), except that (a) the term “Independent Accounting Firm” shall mean any firm of national reputation with expertise in taxation and (b) the Independent Accounting Firm shall render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within 10 days following the submission thereof (or if the filing deadline is within 10 days of the submission of the dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm, as soon as practicable before the filing deadline). Such Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior taxable periods unless a different treatment of any item is required by applicable Law. The Seller shall pay (or cause to be paid) the amount of Pre-Closing Taxes shown on such Returns to the Buyer on the applicable due date. The Buyer shall pay all other Taxes shown or required by be shown on any other Returns to the appropriate Governmental Authority.

(e) Any transactions involving the Companies or their Subsidiaries that are not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date but after the Closing shall be reported on the Buyer’s Returns to the extent permitted by applicable Law or, after the Closing, on the separate Returns of the Companies (if the Companies do not file a Return with the Buyer), and shall be similarly reported on all other Returns of the Buyer or its Affiliates. In all events, the Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold the Seller and its Affiliates harmless from, all Taxes related to transactions described in this Section 5.12(e); provided, however, that this Section 5.12(e) shall not apply with respect to any transactions effected pursuant to or in connection with the Reorganization.

(f) The Seller and the Buyer shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and Representatives reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Returns, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes. The Buyer shall or shall cause the Companies to execute such documents as reasonably requested by the Seller with respect to any Return for Pre-Closing Tax Periods or audit thereof.

(g) The Buyer and the Seller and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate in good faith to effect a Tax election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any comparable applicable provisions of state, local, or non-U.S. Law) with respect to the stock or other ownership interests of the two U.S. companies that are expected to own directly the equity interests of Avnet Partner Solutions, S. de ▇.▇. de C.V., Enlaces Computacionales, S. de ▇.▇. de C.V. and Instituto de Educacion Avanzada, S. de ▇.▇. de C.V.

(h) For U.S. federal income Tax purposes and for all applicable state income Tax purposes, the Buyer shall not make, and shall not cause the Companies or any of their

Subsidiaries to make, any retroactive election that would change the entity classification of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries under the Code or under any corresponding state income Tax provision in the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(i) The Buyer shall be permitted to assign to any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates the right to acquire all (but not less than all) of the equity interests of the Subsidiaries of the Seller domiciled in Canada in a separate purchase, the closing of which will occur simultaneously with the Closing. In the event the Buyer elects to make such an assignment, the Seller shall cooperate in good faith with the Buyer to negotiate and agree to a separate written contract documenting such separate purchase (including determining an appropriate arm’s-length purchase price for such equity interests, which price will be paid pursuant to such agreement and deducted from the Cash Purchase Price).

(j) If, subsequent to the Closing, the Companies, any of the Companies’ Subsidiaries, the Seller or the Buyer or any of the Buyer’s Affiliates receives notice of a Tax Contest with respect to any Return of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries or with respect to the TS Business for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or with respect to any Pre-Closing Taxes, then within 15 days after receipt of such notice, such party shall provide written notice thereof to the other parties, such written notice to specify in reasonable detail the basis for and other factual information with respect to such Tax Contest and to include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence or document received from the relevant taxing authority. Failure to provide such written notice to the other parties shall not release such other parties from any of their obligations, including indemnification obligations, under this Agreement, except to the extent any such other party is materially prejudiced by such failure. To the extent such Tax Contest relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Pre-Closing Taxes, then the Seller shall have the right to control the conduct of such Tax Contest (provided that the Seller has first acknowledged its obligation to indemnify the Buyer with respect to the outcome of such Tax Contest). The Seller shall have the right to settle or dispose of any such Tax Contest; provided, however, that if such Tax Contest could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Tax position or liability of the Buyer, the Companies, any of the Companies’ Subsidiaries or with respect to the TS Business with respect to any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, including the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, then the Seller shall consult with the Buyer regarding any such Tax Contest, shall allow the Buyer to participate in any such proceeding (at its own cost and expense), and shall not settle or otherwise dispose of such Tax Contest without the Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(k) Subject in all respects to Section 5.12(j), the Buyer shall have the right to control the conduct and resolution of Tax Contests; provided, however, that with respect to any Tax Contest relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Pre-Closing Taxes (which could either result in an indemnification obligation by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or could otherwise affect the income derived by the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries in a Pre-Closing Tax Period), the Buyer shall keep the Seller reasonably informed of the progress of such Tax Contest and shall not settle, dispose of or compromise the resolution of such Tax Contest without obtaining the Seller’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(l) The Buyer shall timely pay to the Seller the amount of any Tax refund or amount credited against any Tax attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, unless any such refund or credit arose from the carryback of losses, credits or other Tax attributes from a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, provided that the Buyer provide prompt notice to the Seller stating (i) the amount of any Tax refund or credit attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and (ii) an explanation of the determination by the Buyer that such amount is not payable to the Seller.

(m) The Buyer shall not be prohibited from making a Tax election under Section 338(g) (and any comparable applicable provisions of state, local, or non-U.S. Tax Law) with respect to the stock or other ownership interests of the Companies or their Subsidiaries that are treated as non-U.S. corporations for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

Section 5.13 Registration Rights.

(a) The Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement on Form S-3 or such other form under the Securities Act then available to the Buyer (“Form S-3”) with respect to the resale of the Share Consideration within 90 days after the Closing Date (but after the Seller has had an opportunity to review and comment on such registration statement). The Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Form S-3 to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable thereafter, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for the resale of the Share Consideration for so long as the Seller holds any of the Share Consideration, or, if earlier, until the Seller is permitted to freely sell all the Share Consideration without registration or restrictions under the Securities Act. The Seller shall assist the Buyer and its auditors in their preparation of any audited and pro forma financial statements, and the Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide to the Buyer such financial data and other information regarding the TS Business that shall be sufficient in form and content to allow the Buyer to comply with the requirements of Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and the requirements of the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, as is required to be included in the Form S-3 pursuant to the Securities Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that any delay or omission of the Seller information to be provided pursuant to the preceding sentence results in the delay or omission of the Seller’s performance hereunder, such delay or omission shall not constitute a breach hereof by the Buyer.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of the Form S-3 at any time (A) would require the Buyer to make a public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure in the good faith judgment of the Buyer after consultation with counsel to the Buyer (i) would be required to be made so that such Form S-3 would not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing or continued use of such Form S-3 and (iii) the Buyer has a bona fide business purpose for not disclosing such information publicly, or (B) would require the inclusion in the Form S-3 of financial statements that are unavailable to the Buyer for reasons beyond the Buyer’s control or that are not possible for the Buyer to obtain through reasonable best efforts, the Buyer may, upon giving prompt

written notice of such action to the Seller, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, the Form S-3 for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Buyer to be necessary such that the conditions described in clause (A) or (B) above, as the case may be, are no longer applicable, but in no event shall the Buyer avail itself of the right to suspend the filing or use of the Form S-3 for more than 120 days, in the aggregate, in any period of 365 consecutive days. In the event the Buyer exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Seller agrees to suspend, immediately upon its receipt of such notice, its use of the prospectus included in the Form S-3 (the “Prospectus”) and agrees not to disclose to any other Person the fact that the Buyer has exercised such rights or any related facts regarding the Buyer. The Buyer shall immediately notify the Seller upon the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 5.13(b) but need not specify the related facts and circumstances.

(c) In connection with the Form S-3, the Buyer shall (i) pay any filing fees or other costs and expenses in connection with such registration (other than underwriting discounts and commissions), and reimburse the Seller for any of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such registration (including the reasonable costs and expenses of counsel for the Seller) not to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate, (ii) use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Form S-3 and the Prospectus as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act in connection with resales of the Share Consideration, (iii) furnish to the Seller such numbers of copies of the Form S-3 or Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto and in connection therewith as the Seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Share Consideration, (iv) notify the Seller (A) of any request by the SEC that the Buyer amend or supplement such Form S-3 or Prospectus, or (B) to cease distribution of the Prospectus if the Prospectus, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and use reasonable best efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable, file with the SEC and furnish to the Seller, a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus such that such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and (v) indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates from and against any and all Losses and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) caused by or relating to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made, contained in the Form S-3 or Prospectus, except insofar as any such Losses or expenses are caused by or related to an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Buyer by the Seller expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the Buyer will not be liable to any indemnified party under this Section 5.13(c) in any case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to such Prospectus which has been made available to the Seller and the Seller or its Affiliate fails to deliver such Prospectus as so amended or

supplemented, if such delivery is required under applicable Law or the applicable rules of any securities exchange, prior to or concurrently with the sales of the Share Consideration to the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense.

(d) The Seller agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the Buyer pursuant to Section 5.13(c)(iv), the Seller will discontinue disposition of the Share Consideration pursuant to the Form S-3 until the Seller’s receipt of the copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus, or until Seller has been advised in writing by the Buyer that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, and if so directed by the Buyer, the Seller will deliver to the Buyer (at the Buyer’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Seller’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Share Consideration which were current at the time immediately prior to such notice.

(e) In connection with the Form S-3, the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates from and against any and all Losses and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) caused by or relating to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made, contained in the Form S-3 or Prospectus, to the extent that such Losses or expenses are caused by or related to any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made based upon written information furnished to the Buyer by the Seller expressly for use therein.

(f) The Seller shall provide all information reasonably requested by the Buyer for the purpose of preparing selling shareholder disclosure in the Form S-3 (including completing a notice and questionnaire in customary form provided by the Seller). In connection with any offer or sale pursuant to the Form S-3, the Seller shall provide the Prospectus to purchasers as and to the extent required under the Securities Act.

Section 5.14 Black-Out Periods.

provided, that the effectiveness of any definitive documentation (other than authorization letters) executed by the Seller, the Companies or any Subsidiary of the Companies shall be subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein or in any other agreement between the Seller and the Buyer (or their respective Affiliates), the Seller agrees that the Buyer and its Affiliates may share customary projections with respect to the Companies and the TS Business with the Financing Sources identified in the Debt Commitment Letter, and that the Buyer, its Affiliates and such Financing Sources may share such information with potential Financing Sources in connection with any marketing efforts in connection with the Financing, provided that the recipients of such information agree to customary confidentiality arrangements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Seller, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective directors or officers or other personnel shall be required by this Section 5.22 (1) to take any action or provide any assistance that unreasonably interferes with the ongoing operations of the Seller and its Subsidiaries; (2) to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Financing or the Debt Financing Documents prior to the Closing Date (other than customary authorization and representation letters provided in connection with offering documents); or (3) to execute or deliver any certificate, document, instrument or agreement that is effective prior to the Closing or agree to any change or modification of any existing certificate, document, instrument or agreement that is effective prior to the Closing (other than payoff letters with respect to certain Indebtedness of the Companies and their Subsidiaries). The Buyer shall

(c) If at any time the Seller shall in good faith believe that it has provided the Required Information, it may deliver to the Buyer a written notice to that effect (stating when it believes it completed such delivery), in which case the Seller shall be deemed to have delivered the Required Information on the date of such notice unless the Buyer in good faith reasonably believes the Seller has not completed delivery of the Required Information and within 5 Business Days after delivery of such notice by the Seller, the Buyer delivers a written notice to the Seller to that effect (stating with reasonable specificity which Required Information the Seller has not delivered).

Section 5.23 Buyer’s Financing Obligation.

(a) The Buyer shall take, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be taken, all actions and do, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be done, all things necessary to obtain the Financing on or prior to the Closing Date on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, including: (a) maintaining in effect and enforcing the Debt Commitment Letter and complying with its obligations thereunder; provided, that the Debt Commitment Letter may be amended, supplemented, modified and replaced as permitted pursuant to this Section 5.23; (b) satisfying on a timely basis all conditions to the Financing set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter that are within the Buyer’s control; (c) negotiating, executing and delivering Debt Financing Documents that reflect the terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including any “market flex” provisions related thereto); and (d) subject to Section 2.3, drawing a sufficient amount of the Financing to enable the Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in the event that the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.3, and the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing Documents, as applicable, have been satisfied or upon funding would be satisfied.

(b) Without limiting the Buyer’s other obligations under this Section 5.23, if (x) for any reason, all or any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable and such portion is required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (y) there is a breach or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter, in each case, other than as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, the Buyer shall (i) reasonably promptly notify the Seller and the reasons therefor, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative financing from alternative Financing Sources on terms (including conditionality, structure, covenants and

pricing) not materially less favorable to the Buyer (as determined in the reasonable judgment of the Buyer), with lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event, and (iii) obtain, and when obtained provide the Seller with a copy of, a new financing commitment that provides for such alternative financing. The Buyer will not agree to any amendment or modification to, or grant any waiver of, any provision under the Debt Commitment Letter without the prior written consent of the Seller if such amendment, modification or waiver would (i) impose additional conditions, or otherwise amend or modify any of the conditions in a manner that is adverse in any material respect to the Buyer or the Companies, to the receipt of the Financing on the Closing Date, (ii) materially delay the timing of the funding of the Financing or prevent or make less likely to occur, the funding of the commitments thereunder, on the Closing Date, (iii) reduce the aggregate cash amount of the funding commitments thereunder, or (iv) adversely impact the ability of the Buyer to enforce its rights against any other party to any Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive documentation with respect thereto; provided, that, without the consent of the Seller, the Buyer may (x) replace or amend the Debt Commitment Letter solely to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof or (y) implement or implement or exercise the “flex” provisions contained in one or more fee letters related to the Financing. The Buyer shall keep the Seller reasonably informed on a reasonably timely basis of the status of its efforts to obtain the Financing.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Buyer shall have the right to substitute the proceeds of consummated equity or equity-linked offerings or debt offerings or other incurrences of debt (including unsecured notes) for all or any portion of the Financing by reducing commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter; provided, that to the extent any such debt has a scheduled special or mandatory redemption right, such right is not exercisable prior to the earliest of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date, the termination of this Agreement and the Termination Date (for the avoidance of doubt as the Termination Date may be extended pursuant to this Agreement). Further, the Buyer shall have the right to substitute commitments in respect of other debt financing for all or any portion of the Financing from the same and/or alternative bona fide third-party financing sources so long as (i) all conditions precedent to effectiveness of definitive documentation for such debt financing have been satisfied and the conditions precedent to funding of such debt financing are in the aggregate, in respect of certainty of funding, substantially equivalent to (or more favorable to the Seller than) the conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter, and (ii) prior to funding of any loans thereunder, the commitments in respect of such debt financing are subject to restrictions on assignment which are in the aggregate substantially equivalent to or more favorable to the Seller than the corresponding restrictions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (any such debt or equity financing which satisfies the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the “Replacement Financing” and the definitive documentation for any such Replacement Financing, the “Replacement Financing Documents”). The representations, warranties, covenants and other restrictions of the Buyer contained in this Agreement with respect to the Financing and the Debt Commitment Letter shall apply equally to any Replacement Financing and Replacement Financing Documents.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall the receipt or availability of funds or financing (including the Financing, any Replacement Financing or any other financing transaction) itself be a condition to the Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to the extent the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.3 have been satisfied, the Buyer will be obligated to effectuate the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5.23(d) shall be construed to limit any of the Seller’s obligations hereunder or the condition set forth in Section 6.3(b) with respect thereto, including obligations pursuant to Section 5.22.

Section 5.24 Non-competition; Non-solicitation.

(a) From the Closing Date until the date that is two years after the Closing Date, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of the Buyer (which consent may be withheld for any reason), directly or indirectly, (i) hire or solicit for employment any NewCo Employee or (ii) induce or encourage any such employee to no longer be employed by the Buyer, the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.24(a) shall prohibit the Seller or any of their Subsidiaries from (A) engaging in general solicitations to the public or general advertising not targeted at employees of the Buyer, the Companies or any of the Companies’ Subsidiaries, (B) hiring any employee whose employment has been terminated by the Buyer, the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries following the Closing or (C) hiring any employee whose employment with the Buyer, the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries has been terminated by the employee following the Closing (but only after at least 180 days have passed since the date of termination of employment).

(b) From the Closing Date until the date that is two years after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent may be withheld for any reason), directly or indirectly, (i) hire or solicit for employment any employee of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) induce or encourage any such employee to no longer be employed by the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.24(b) shall prohibit the Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries from (A) engaging in general solicitations to the public or general advertising not targeted at employees of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) hiring any employee whose employment has been terminated by the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing or (C) hiring any employee whose employment with the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries has been terminated by the employee following the Closing (but only after at least 180 days have passed since the date of termination of employment).

(c) From the Closing Date until the date that is two years after the Closing Date, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of the Buyer (which consent may be withheld for any reason), directly or indirectly, (i) engage in the Buyer Competing Business anywhere or (ii) own any equity interest, or operate, control or participate (including as a joint venture partner, agent, representative, consultant or lender) in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Buyer Competing Business anywhere. For purposes of this Agreement, “Buyer Competing Business” means (i) the resale of products from the vendors set forth in Section 5.24(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules (“Vendors”) to value added resellers

(VAR), direct market resellers (DMR), independent software vendors (ISV) or managed service providers (MSP), but shall not include the resale of products from the Vendors (A) purchased by the Seller and its Subsidiaries pursuant to an OEM channel program offered by such Vendor and (B) to any ISV or MSP (so long as such ISV or MSP is not, and has not been in the past 12 months, treated as a VAR or DMR customer of the TS Business) and (ii) the entry by the Seller or one of its Subsidiaries into a branded product distribution agreement with any Vendor, unless (A) such Vendor does not offer an OEM channel program and (B) such branded product distribution agreement is entered into solely for the purpose of reselling the Vendor’s products to any OEM or IT vendor. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall limit or restrict the Seller or its Subsidiaries from conducting the Retained Business as currently conducted.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the prohibition in Section 5.24(c) shall not apply to the ownership by the Seller and its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, of less than 5%, in the aggregate, of any class of the securities of any Person traded on a national or international securities exchange.

(e) The Buyer and the Seller acknowledge the (i) the covenants set forth in this Section 5.24 are an essential element of this Agreement and that, but for these covenants, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement, and (ii) this Section 5.24 constitutes an independent covenant and shall not be affected by performance or nonperformance of any other provision of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other document contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) It is the intention of the Parties that if any restriction or covenant contained in this Section 5.24 is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such restriction or covenant shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such restriction or covenant would be valid or enforceable under applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section 5.24 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained in this Section 5.24) that would be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law.

Section 5.25 Indebtedness. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to arrange for customary payoff letters and release letters, lien terminations (including UCC-3 financing statements) and instruments of discharge (including mortgage releases, if applicable) to be delivered at the Closing providing for the full payoff, discharge and termination at the Closing Date of all Indebtedness of the Companies and their Subsidiaries specified in Section 2.2(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules and any and all Encumbrances related thereto.

Section 5.27 Audited Financial Statements. As soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver the Audited Financial Statements to the Buyer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the amounts of the line item “operating income” plus the absolute value of the amount of the line items (1) “Depreciation expense” (not to exceed $27,563,000), (2) “Stock compensation expense” and (3) “Restructuring, amortization, integration and other expenses” for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2016 reflected in the Audited Financial Statements is less than the amount set forth in Section 5.27 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, the Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within 15 Business Days of the delivery of the Audited Financial Statements to the Buyer.

Section 5.28 Transition Services Agreement. As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Parties shall (i) negotiate in good faith to finalize the schedules to the Transition Services Agreement to the extent not finalized as of the date hereof so that the Transition Services Agreement is finalized prior to the Closing Date, (ii) comply with the obligations set forth in Section 5.1(b) of the Transition Services Agreement as if the Transition Services Agreement was in effect as of the date hereof and (iii) cooperate in good faith to develop a separation plan.

(b) The Seller shall have performed in all material respects all obligations and agreements and complied with all covenants required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing.

(d) The Buyer shall have received from the Seller a certificate to the effect set forth in Section 6.3(a), Section 6.3(b) and Section 6.3(c), signed by a duly authorized officer thereof.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION

Section 7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Buyer and the Seller;

(b) (i) by the Seller, if the Seller is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and the Buyer breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2, (B) cannot be or has not been cured prior to the earlier of (x) the Termination Date and (y) 30 days following delivery of written notice of such breach or failure to perform (provided, that such cure period shall be three Business Days with respect to any breach or failure to perform by the Buyer of the Buyer’s obligations under Section 2.3) and (C) has not been waived by the Seller; or (ii) by the Buyer, if the Buyer is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and the Seller breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3, (B) cannot be or has not been cured prior to the earlier of (x) the Termination Date and (y) 30 days following delivery of written notice of such breach or failure to perform and (C) has not been waived by the Buyer;

(c) by either the Seller or the Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred by 5:00 PM on June 19, 2017 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(c) shall not be available if the material breach of this Agreement by the Party so requesting termination shall have been the cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

(d) by either the Seller or the Buyer in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued an Order or taken any other action (i) restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) constituting or imposing a Burdensome Condition and such Order or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, that the Party so requesting termination shall have complied with Section 5.7 in all material respects; or

Section 8.4 Limitations and Other Matters Relating to Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 8.6(b), and other than with respect to any Claims or Losses based upon, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any breach of any Specified Seller Representation, the Seller shall not be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay or reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees under Section 8.2(a) (i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of which indemnification otherwise may be sought under Section 8.2(a) (other than those based upon, resulting from, arising out of or relating to the Specified Seller Representations) exceeds $25,000,000 (the “Indemnification Threshold”), and once the Indemnification Threshold has been exceeded, the Seller shall only be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay and reimburse for Losses in excess of the Indemnification Threshold and (ii) unless and until the amount of Losses in respect of which indemnification otherwise may be sought under Section 8.2(a) arising from any particular breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller in this Agreement exceeds $100,000 (the “Per Claim Threshold”), provided, that, subject to Section 8.4(a)(i), once the Per Claim Threshold has been exceeded with respect to any such particular breach, the Seller shall be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay and reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees for all such Losses with respect to such particular breach from the first dollar, including any such Losses that were taken into account in determining whether the Per Claim Threshold had been satisfied.

(b) Subject to Section 8.6(b), and other than with respect to any Claims or Losses based upon, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any breach of any Specified Seller Representation, the Seller shall not be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay or reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees under Section 8.2(a) from and after such time when the aggregate amount of all Losses paid to Buyer Indemnitees in respect of indemnification under Section 8.2(a) (other than with respect to any Claims or Losses based upon, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any breach of any Specified Seller Representation) exceeds $200,000,000 (the “Cap”).

(c) Subject to Section 8.6(b), and other than with respect to any Claims or Losses based upon, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any breach of any Specified Buyer Representation, the Buyer shall not be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay or reimburse the Seller Indemnitees under Section 8.3(a) (i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of which indemnification otherwise may be sought under Section 8.3(a) (other than those based upon, resulting from, arising out of or relating to the Specified Buyer Representations) exceeds the Indemnification Threshold, and once the Indemnification

Threshold has been exceeded, the Buyer shall only be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay and reimburse for Losses in excess of the Indemnification Threshold and (ii) unless and until the amount of Losses in respect of which indemnification otherwise may be sought under Section 8.3(a) arising from any particular breach of any representation or warranty of the Buyer in this Agreement exceeds the Per Claim Threshold, provided, that, subject to Section 8.4(a)(i), once the Per Claim Threshold has been exceeded with respect to any such particular breach, the Buyer shall be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay and reimburse the Seller Indemnitees for all such Losses with respect to such particular breach from the first dollar, including any such Losses that were taken into account in determining whether the Per Claim Threshold had been satisfied.

(d) Subject to Section 8.6(b) (other than those based upon, resulting from, arising out of or relating to the Specified Buyer Representations), the Buyer shall not be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay or reimburse the Seller Indemnitees under Section 8.3(a) from and after such time when the aggregate amount of all Losses paid by the Buyer to Seller Indemnitees in respect of indemnification under Section 8.3(a) (other than those based upon, resulting from, arising out of or relating to the Specified Buyer Representations) exceeds the Cap.

(e) Subject to Section 8.6(b), in no event shall the Buyer or the Seller be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay or reimburse any Indemnified Party under this Article VIII, or otherwise be liable in connection with this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, for any Losses that constitute punitive, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or indirect damages, damages for lost profits or other multiplier-based damages; provided, however, that (x) except for punitive damages (and special or exemplary damages to the extent they are punitive in nature), the foregoing limitations set forth in this Section 8.4(e) shall not apply to Losses to the extent such Losses were reasonably foreseeable in connection with the relevant breach and (y) none of the foregoing limitations set forth in this Section 8.4(e) shall apply to any such Losses if any Indemnified Party is held liable for such Losses in connection with a Third-Party Claim.

(f) For the purposes of determining whether a representation or warranty is inaccurate or has been breached for the purposes of Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a) and calculating the amount of Losses related thereto, any qualification as to materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or any other similar qualification or standard contained in Article III or Article IV of this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be disregarded (it being understood that the word “Material” in the defined term “Material Contract(s)” and the qualification as to “Material Adverse Effect” contained in Section 3.8(b) shall not be disregarded for such purpose).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights and remedies of the Indemnified Parties shall not be limited by the fact that any Indemnified Party (i) had actual or constructive knowledge (regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained through such Indemnified Party’s own investigation or through disclosure by the other Party, its Representatives or any other Person) of any breach, event or circumstance, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing or (ii) waived any condition to the Closing set forth in Article VI.

(h) The amount of any Losses payable under Article VIII by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Losses, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount actually received by the Indemnified Party (less any reasonable cost or expense actually incurred by the Indemnified Party in obtaining such recovery). The Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to collect any amounts available under insurance coverage, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible, for any Losses payable under Article VIII.

(i) If the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation under Article VIII arises in respect of the payment of any Losses which makes allowable to the Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates or, in the case of Buyer, effective upon the Closing, the Companies, any deduction, amortization, exclusion from income or other allowance which would not, but for the payment of such Losses, be allowable, and such allowance is actually utilized by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates to reduce cash Tax liability prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, then the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the Tax benefit resulting therefrom if, as and when such Tax benefit is actually realized in cash or a reduction in Taxes otherwise due.

(j) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any amounts taken into account in determining or as an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to the terms of Section 2.5.

(k) No Party shall be entitled to reimbursement under any provision of this Agreement for any amount to the extent such Party has previously been actually reimbursed for the same amount under any other provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(l) The maximum aggregate liability of the Seller shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price actually received by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

(m) Any payment under this Article VIII shall be treated by the Parties for U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income Tax purposes as a purchase price adjustment unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(n) Any amounts paid by the Seller pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall be paid in cash or, at the Seller’s election, in Buyer Common Stock issued to the Seller at Closing valued per share for this purpose at the higher of (i) $71.80 and (ii) the volume weighted average price per share of Buyer Common Stock on NASDAQ for the 15 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the payment of such amount by the Seller to Buyer. The Seller acknowledges that the Buyer may be in possession of material nonpublic information regarding itself and its financial results at the time of any such election and that the Buyer would be under no obligation to disclose any such information to the Seller.

Section 8.5 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) All claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 8.5. A Person entitled to assert a claim for indemnification (a “Claim”) pursuant to this Article VIII (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of any such Claim (a “Claim Notice”), which notice shall include a description in reasonable detail of (i) the basis for, and nature of, such Claim, including the facts constituting the basis for such Claim, and (ii) the estimated amount of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim; provided, however, that any such Claim Notice need only specify such information to the knowledge of the Indemnified Party as of the date of such Claim Notice and shall not limit or prejudice any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Party on the basis of any limitations on the information included in such Claim Notice, including any such limitations made in good faith to preserve the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other privilege. Any Claim Notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party, (A) in the case of a Claim in connection with any Action made or brought by any Person (other than a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee in connection with this Agreement) against such Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), reasonably promptly following receipt of notice of the assertion or commencement of such Action, and (B) in the case of a Claim other than a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), reasonably promptly after the Indemnified Party learns of the facts which may result in a claim for indemnification; provided, however, that no failure to give such prompt written notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indemnifying Party” means the Buyer (in the case of a Claim by a Seller Indemnitee) or the Seller (in the case of a Claim by a Buyer Indemnitee).

(b) With respect to any Third-Party Claim (other than a Claim relating to a Tax Contest, which shall be governed by Section 5.12(j) and Section 5.12(k)), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after delivery of the Claim Notice with respect to such Third-Party Claim, to assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense with counsel of its choosing that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, however, that such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control the defense of any Third-Party Claim that (i) seeks any potentially material injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or (ii) seeks monetary damages the amount of which would reasonably be expected to materially exceed any limitation on the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible hereunder. The Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, that is not controlling such defense shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party and (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel

(including advancement thereof) to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to control the defense of such Third-Party Claim (including by failing to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to control such defense in accordance with this Section 8.5(b)) or fails to diligently prosecute such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may control the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choosing, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel (including advancement thereof) to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction in which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required. Each of the Buyer and the Seller shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including by retaining and providing to the party controlling such defense records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim and making available employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, that is controlling such defense shall keep the other party reasonably advised of the status of such Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and other than with respect to Tax Contests, which shall be governed by Section 5.12(j) and Section 5.12(k), (i) an Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement would (A) include a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations with respect thereto, (B) not impose any Liability or obligation (including any equitable remedies) on the Indemnified Party and (C) not involve a finding or admission of any wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party, and (ii) an Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of a Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 8.6 Exclusive Remedy; Exceptions.

(a) Subject to Section 8.6(b), from and after the Closing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties, including the Buyer and the Seller, with respect to any claims for Losses for which indemnification is provided hereunder; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.6(a) shall limit the rights or remedies of, or constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies by, any Person pursuant to (or shall otherwise operate to interfere with the operation of) Section 2.5, Section 5.24 and Section 9.13, or the express provisions of the Reorganization Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement (including Section 8.4 and Section 8.6(a)) shall limit the Seller’s or the Buyer’s right to bring claims based on Fraud with respect to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement at any time following the Closing Date (which such right shall survive indefinitely or until the latest time permitted by applicable Law).

ARTICLE IX

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 9.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with or related to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated; provided, however, that the Buyer shall pay or cause the Companies to pay any Transaction Expenses that remain unpaid as of the Closing. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the obligation of each Party to pay its own expenses will be subject to any rights of such Party arising from a breach of this Agreement by the other.

Section 9.2 Amendment and Modification.

Any agreement on the part of any Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written agreement signed on behalf of such Party. No failure or delay of any Party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Any agreement on the part of any Party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such Party.

Section 9.19 Legal Representation.

(a) The Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Companies) acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇”) has acted as counsel for the Seller in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Acquisition Engagement”), and in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ has not acted as counsel for any other Person, including the Buyer.

(b) Only the Seller, the Companies and their respective Affiliates shall be considered clients of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ in the Acquisition Engagement. The Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Companies) acknowledges and agrees that, including in any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, all confidential communications between the Seller, the Companies and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, on the other hand, in the course of the Acquisition Engagement, and any attendant attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, and expectation of client confidentiality applicable thereto, shall be deemed to belong solely to the Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Companies), and not the Companies, and shall not pass to or be claimed, held, or used by the Buyer or the Companies upon or after the Closing. Accordingly, the Buyer shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ relating to the Acquisition Engagement, whether or not the Closing occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a dispute arises between the Buyer, the Companies or any Subsidiary of the Companies, on the one hand, and a third-party (other than the Seller or any of its Affiliates), on the other hand, after the Closing, the Companies or any Subsidiary of the Companies may assert attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ to such third-party.

(c) The Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Companies) acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ has acted as counsel for the Seller and its Affiliates for several years and that the Seller reasonably anticipates that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ will continue to represent it and/or its Affiliates in future matters. Accordingly, the Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Companies) expressly (i) consents to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇’▇ representation of the Seller and/or its Affiliates and/or any of their respective agents (if any of the foregoing Persons so desire) in any matter, including, without limitation, any post-Closing matter in which the interests of the Buyer and the Companies, on the one hand, and the Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse, including any matter relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and whether or not such matter is one in which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ may have previously advised the Seller, the Companies or their respective Affiliates and (ii) consents to the disclosure by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ to the Seller or its Affiliates of any information learned by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ in the course of its representation of the Seller, the Companies or their respective Affiliates, whether or not such information is subject to attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇’▇ duty of confidentiality.

(d) From and after the Closing, the Companies shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, unless and to the extent ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ is expressly

engaged in writing by the Companies to represent the Companies after the Closing and either (i) such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to the Seller and/or any of its Affiliates or (ii) the Seller and/or any such Affiliate, as applicable, consent in writing to such engagement. Any such representation of the Companies by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ after the Closing shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof. Furthermore, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, in its sole discretion, shall be permitted to withdraw from representing the Companies in order to represent or continue so representing the Seller.

(e) The Seller and the Buyer consent to the arrangements in this Section 9.19.

Section 9.20 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each of the Buyer and the Seller acknowledges that each Party to this Agreement has been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting Party has no application and is expressly waived.

Section 9.21 Liability of Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the Financing Sources shall have any liability to the Seller or its Affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, except, after the Closing, any Person directly or indirectly sold by the Seller to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Financing or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, except, after the Closing, any Person directly or indirectly sold by the Seller to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement) will have any rights or claims against any Financing Sources under this Agreement and any other agreement contemplated by, or entered into in connection with, the Financing, including any commitments by the Financing Sources in respect of the Financing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Seller or its Affiliates be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement against any of the Financing Sources.
