SECTION 1.04 Purchase Price Adjustment. (a) Not less than three Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Parent shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith estimate of (i) Closing Cash (“Estimated Cash”), (ii) Closing Working Capital (“Estimated Working Capital”), and based on the Estimated Working Capital, the Working Capital Surplus or the Working Capital Deficit, if any, (iii) Closing Indebtedness (“Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), (iv) Closing Transaction Expenses (“Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses”), (v) Closing Change of Control Payments (“Estimated Closing Change of Control Payments”) and (vi) the Initial Closing Date Amount, in each case, together with reasonable supporting documentation for such estimates and calculations. The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the terms of this Agreement. Following the delivery of Parent’s calculation of the foregoing, to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser, Parent shall, and shall cause Seller and each Group Company to, make available to Purchaser supporting documentation used in preparing such estimate. Parent shall consider any reasonable comments provided by Purchaser based on Purchaser’s review of the Estimated Closing Statement and any such documentation and make any corresponding changes to the Initial Closing Date Amount that Parent deems appropriate based on Purchaser’s proposed adjustments (provided that in no event shall the Closing be delayed on account of any review by Purchaser of the Estimated Closing Statement). Without limiting the foregoing but subject to Section 1.04(g), Purchaser and its Affiliates may rely upon the Estimated Closing Statement, and in no event shall Purchaser have any liability to Parent, Seller, the Group Companies and/or any other person on account of payments made in accordance with the Estimated Closing Statement.

(b) Within 120 calendar days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Parent a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s good faith calculation of (i) Cash as of the Reference Time (but giving effect to any subsequent cash dividends or distributions to Parent or its Subsidiaries (other than the Group Companies) prior to the Closing) (“Closing Cash”), (ii) Working Capital as of the Reference Time (“Closing Working Capital”), and based on the Closing Working Capital, the Working Capital Surplus or

The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the terms of this Agreement.

(c) During the 60 calendar day period following Purchaser’s delivery of the Closing Statement, Parent and any accountants, counsel or financial advisers retained by Parent in connection with any adjustment to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 1.04 shall be permitted to review the working papers of Purchaser and each Group Company relating to the Closing Statement. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the 60th calendar day following delivery thereof, unless Parent gives written notice of its disagreement with the Closing Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Purchaser on or prior to such date, which disagreement shall be limited to mathematical errors and calculations of amounts not being made in accordance with the Accounting Principles and this Agreement. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the item(s), dollar amount(s), nature and basis of any disagreement so asserted. Each of Purchaser and Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items contained in the Closing Statement that are not subject to the Notice of Disagreement. If a Notice of Disagreement is delivered to Purchaser within the 60 calendar day period referred to above, then the Closing Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon the parties on the earlier of (i) the date on which Purchaser and Parent resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (ii) the date on which all such disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Independent Expert pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 1.04. During the 60 calendar day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Purchaser and Parent shall discuss in good faith any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement; provided that all negotiations between Purchaser and Parent regarding the matters specified in such Notice of Disagreement shall (unless otherwise agreed by Purchaser and Parent) be governed by Rule 408 of the U.S. Federal Rules of Evidence and any comparable applicable state rule. If Purchaser and Parent have not resolved such matters at the end of such 60 calendar day period, Purchaser and Parent shall submit to the Independent Expert for review any and all matters that remain in dispute and were included in the Notice of Disagreement. The parties shall instruct the Independent Expert to render its decision as to the unresolved disputed matters and the effect of its decision on the Closing Statement as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 60 calendar days after the date of such submission. Each party shall furnish to the Independent Expert such working papers and other relevant documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed matters, and shall provide interviews and answer questions, as the Independent Expert may reasonably request in connection with its determination of such unresolved disputed matters; provided that no party shall be obligated to provide access or information if such party determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so may violate any applicable Law or jeopardize protection of attorney client privileges. In the event any party (or any of its Affiliates or representatives) shall participate in teleconferences or meetings with, or make presentations to, or otherwise have correspondence with or provide information to, the Independent Expert, the other party shall be entitled to participate in such teleconferences, meetings and presentations and receive copies of such correspondence and information. The terms of the appointment and engagement of the Independent Expert shall be as agreed upon between the parties in writing, whether pursuant to a customary engagement letter or otherwise.

4

(d) Purchaser and Parent shall jointly instruct the Independent Expert that, in resolving any such unresolved disputed matter, the Independent Expert (i) shall act in the capacity of an expert and not as an arbitrator, (ii) shall limit its review to matters specifically set forth in the Notice of Disagreement as a disputed matter (other than matters thereafter resolved by mutual written agreement of the parties) and shall base its determination solely on the submissions described in Section 1.04(c), (iii) shall not assign a value to any disputed matter greater than the greatest value for such matter claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such matter claimed by either party in the Closing Statement or in the Notice of Disagreement and (iv) shall make its determinations solely in accordance with the Accounting Principles and this Agreement.

(e) Purchaser and Parent shall jointly instruct the Independent Expert that the final determination by the Independent Expert of the matters submitted to it pursuant to Section 1.04(c) shall (i) be in writing, (ii) include the Independent Expert’s calculation of the Final Closing Date Amount, (iii) include the Independent Expert’s determination of each matter submitted to it pursuant to Section 1.04(c) and (iv) include a brief summary of the Independent Expert’s reasons for its determination of each matter.

(f) Absent manifest error or fraud, the resolution of disputed matters by the Independent Expert shall be final and binding, and the determination of the Independent Expert shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Independent Expert incurred pursuant to this Section 1.04 shall be borne equally by Parent and Purchaser.

(g) Within five Business Days after the Closing Statement becomes final and binding upon the parties:

(i) if the Final Closing Date Amount is less than the Initial Closing Date Amount, Parent shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Purchaser; or

(ii) if the Final Closing Date Amount is greater than the Initial Closing Date Amount, Purchaser shall pay to Parent the amount of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Parent.

(h) During the period from the Closing until such time as the Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties in accordance with this Section 1.04, Purchaser shall (i) preserve the records of the Group Companies on which the Closing Statement is to be based and not take any action with respect to such records that would obstruct, prevent or otherwise affect the procedures or the results of the procedures set forth in this Section 1.04 and

5

(ii) afford, and shall cause each Group Company to afford, to Parent and any accountants, counsel or financial advisers retained by Parent in connection with any adjustment to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 1.04 reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to the properties, books, Contracts and records of the Group Companies, and the work papers of Purchaser and the Group Companies, relevant to the adjustments contemplated by this Section 1.04, and shall provide, upon Parent’s reasonable request, copies of any such books, Contracts, records and work papers to Parent.

SECTION 1.05 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser, its Affiliates and any applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Purchaser or its Affiliates are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to (a) provide Parent with written notice of its (or its Affiliates’) intention to deduct or withhold and of the amounts subject to deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding arising with respect to (A) compensatory payments or (B) the failure of Parent to deliver the form described in Section 5.07(e)) as soon as reasonably practicable and prior to the anticipated time of payment and (b) provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to deliver or cause to be delivered such forms, certificates or other evidence as would eliminate or reduce any such required deduction or withholding. Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to cooperate, in order to reduce or eliminate any amounts that would be required to be deducted and withheld on payments made pursuant to this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are deducted or withheld in accordance with this Section 1.05 and timely paid to the appropriate taxing authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

SECTION 1.06 Designation of Affiliates. Without limiting Section 8.02, prior to the Closing, Purchaser may, after providing Parent with five Business Days’ advance notice, designate one or more Affiliates to, at the Closing, acquire all or part of the Transferred Equity Interests or pay all or any portion of the Purchase Price, in which event references herein to Purchaser will be deemed to refer to such Affiliates, as appropriate; provided, however, that no such designation (i) would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) will in any event limit or affect the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement to the extent not performed by such Affiliates.

30

SECTION 4.06 Financing. (a) Purchaser has delivered to Parent true, correct and complete copies of (i) a fully executed commitment letter dated on or about the date of this Agreement (together with all exhibits, annexes, schedules and term sheets attached thereto and as amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or extended from time to time after the date of this Agreement in compliance with Section 5.23, the “Equity Commitment Letter”) from the Guarantors, providing, subject only to the terms and conditions therein, for an equity investment in Purchaser in cash in the aggregate amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”), and (ii) a fully executed commitment letter and Redacted Fee Letter dated on or about the date of this Agreement from the financial institutions and the other Persons identified therein (as such parties may be supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Lenders”) (such letters, together with all exhibits, annexes, schedules and term sheets attached thereto and as amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or extended from time to time after the date of this Agreement in compliance with Section 5.23, collectively, the “Debt Commitment Letter” and, together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Financing Letters”), providing, subject only to the terms and conditions set forth therein, for debt financing in cash in the amounts set forth therein (collectively, the “Debt Financing” and, together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”). As of the date of this Agreement, neither of the Financing Letters in the form delivered to Parent has been amended or modified, and, to the knowledge of Purchaser, no such amendment or modification is contemplated except as contemplated in Section 5.23(a), and none of the obligations or commitments contained therein have been, to the knowledge of Purchaser, withdrawn, terminated, repudiated or rescinded in any respect and, to the knowledge of Purchaser, no such withdrawal, termination, repudiation or rescission is contemplated. As of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser (or one of its Affiliates) has fully paid any and all commitment fees and other fees pursuant to the Financing Letters or otherwise in connection with the Financing that are due, earned and payable on or prior to the date of this Agreement. Assuming the Financing is funded in accordance with the Financing Letters, the net proceeds thereof contemplated by the Financing Letters will in the aggregate be sufficient to enable Purchaser to consummate the Transactions on the Closing Date (including the payment of the Purchase Price and all other amounts required to be paid by Purchaser in connection with the Transactions) and otherwise perform its obligations hereunder. As of the date of this Agreement, each Financing Letter in the form delivered to Parent (x) constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser and each of the other parties thereto, (y) is enforceable in accordance with its terms against Purchaser and each of the other parties thereto, subject to the Bankruptcy Exceptions, and (z) is in full force and effect.

Assuming the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties of Parent set forth in Article II and III, the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02, and the performance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Subsidiaries of their other obligations under this Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser does not have any reason to believe that it or any other party to any Financing Letter will be unable to satisfy any term or condition of any Financing Letter required to be satisfied by it, that the conditions thereof will not otherwise be satisfied, or that the full amount of the Financing will not be available, in each case

31

on the Closing Date.

40

SECTION 5.03 Confidentiality. (a) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that the information being provided to it in connection with the Transactions (including the terms of the Transaction Agreements and the contents of the Parent Disclosure Letter) will remain subject to the terms of the confidentiality agreement, dated as of March 8, 2023, between GTCR LLC and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Effective upon the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate. Effective upon the Closing, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any confidentiality agreements entered into between Parent or the Group Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and any potential purchaser in a proposed transaction similar to the Transactions, on the other hand, to be assigned to the Group Companies, such that the Group Companies and their Affiliates receive the benefit of, and full right to enforce, such confidentiality agreements from and after the Closing.

SECTION 5.04 Efforts to Consummate the Transactions. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Parent and Purchaser shall each use its reasonable best efforts (unless, with respect to any action, another standard of performance is expressly provided for herein) to cause the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable, including taking all reasonable actions necessary to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on it with respect to the Closing. Parent and Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, acquire or make any investment in any Person or any division or assets thereof if such acquisition or investment would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in a material delay in the satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article VI or any of such conditions not being satisfied.

41

(b) Each of Parent and Purchaser shall (and, to the extent required, shall cause their respective Affiliates to) as promptly as practicable file or cause to be filed with the appropriate Governmental Entities any notices and applications necessary to obtain clearance under any applicable Laws for the consummation of the Transactions, including the Required Regulatory Approvals. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and Purchaser agrees to make (or, to the extent required, cause its applicable Affiliates to make) an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “HSR Act”), with respect to the Transactions within 10 Business Days following the date hereof. Parent and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) furnish each other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary or advisable under such Laws. Parent and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) keep each other apprised of the status of any material communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional or supplemental information from, any Governmental Entities in connection with such filings or any of the Required Regulatory Approvals and shall (and, to the extent required, shall cause their respective Affiliates to) promptly make or cause to be made an appropriate response to any additional or supplemental information request from a Governmental Entity in connection with any such filings or the Required Regulatory Approvals, as necessary or advisable to obtain all Required Regulatory Approvals (including the expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting periods) as promptly as practicable. Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall (nor shall it permit any of its respective Affiliates to) “pull and re-file” any HSR Act filing applicable to the Transactions pursuant to 16 C.F.R. § 803.12(c), enter into any timing agreement with any Governmental Entity or otherwise consent to any voluntary delay of the Closing or extension of any applicable waiting period, or permit any the foregoing actions to be taken, without the consent of the other.

(c) For purposes of this Section 5.04, (i) the “reasonable best efforts” of Parent and Purchaser shall include Parent (and its Affiliates) and Purchaser (and its Subsidiaries) (A) contesting and resisting any Proceeding instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity challenging the Transactions as violative of any Law and (B) attempting to have repealed, rescinded or made inapplicable any applicable Law, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Judgment or other restraint or prohibition (an “Injunction”), that is enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction that would make the Transactions illegal or would otherwise prohibit or impair or delay the consummation of the Transactions, and (ii) the “reasonable best efforts” of Purchaser shall also include Purchaser (and its Subsidiaries) (A) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of businesses, product lines, assets or operations of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or of the Group Companies, (B) conducting its and its Subsidiaries’ businesses or the Group Companies’ businesses in a specified manner, or proposing and agreeing or permitting to conduct any of such businesses in a specified manner, including by agreeing to undertakings required by a Governmental Entity that it or any of its Subsidiaries or any Group Company will take, or refrain from taking, any action, and (C) otherwise taking or committing to take actions that after the Closing Date would limit Purchaser’s or its Subsidiaries’ ability to retain one or more of the businesses, product lines, assets or operations of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or any Group Company, in each case, to the extent necessary to obtain any clearance required under applicable Laws for the consummation of the Transactions, resolve any such objections or avoid or eliminate any such impediments (each of the actions described in the foregoing sub-clauses (A), (B) and (C) of this clause (ii), a “Remedy Action”); provided, however, that the effectiveness of any such Remedy Action shall be conditioned upon the Closing. For the

avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.04 or any other provision of this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates (other than any Group Company effective upon the Closing) nor any Affiliate of Purchaser (other than Purchaser’s Subsidiaries or any of the Group Companies effective upon the Closing) shall be required to sell, divest, dispose of or enter into any other arrangements, or take any other Remedy Action with respect to, their businesses, product lines, assets or operations pursuant to this Section 5.04 or any other provision of this Agreement, and the “reasonable best efforts” of Parent shall not include taking any of the Remedy Actions.

(d) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.04, Parent and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to), to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) give each other prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry or Proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions, (ii) keep each other reasonably informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry or Proceeding, (iii) promptly inform each other of any material communication (and provide each other with copies of all written communications) to or from any Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions, (iv) consult and cooperate with each other in good faith in connection with any meetings or oral communications, formal or informal, with any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law or such Governmental Entity, provide each other with advance notice and an opportunity to attend and participate in all such meetings and oral communications and (v) consult and cooperate with each other in good faith in connection with, and provide each other with reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon (and each will consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with), any filing, registration, declaration, notice, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion, proposal or other communication, oral or written, made or submitted to any Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions; provided, that materials provided to another party pursuant to this Section 5.04 may be redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Transaction or any portion thereof, (B) as necessary to comply with contractual obligations or applicable Law, or (C) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns; and provided further that the party providing such materials may, as such party determines is reasonably necessary, designate the materials as “Outside Counsel Only,” and such materials (and the information contained therein) shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to any other Person unless express permission is obtained in advance from the party providing the materials or its legal counsel.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall (i) apply to or restrict communications or other actions by Purchaser, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates (including any Group Company) with or with respect to Governmental Entities, to the extent such communication or other actions are unrelated to the Transactions, or (ii) give Purchaser, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the Business or any Group Company prior to the Closing. The obligations of the parties set forth in Sections 5.04(a) through (e), and not any other provision of this Agreement (including Sections 5.04(f) and 5.04(g)), shall be the parties’ sole obligations with respect to the subject matter thereof.

43

(f) Prior to the Closing, each party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts (at its own expense) to obtain, and to cooperate in obtaining, all Consents from Persons (other than any Governmental Entity) necessary or appropriate to permit, or otherwise triggered by, the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that the parties (and their respective Affiliates) shall not be required to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any obligation or grant any concession in favor of) any such Person (other than committing to pay the reimbursement of such Person’s reasonable expenses in connection with obtaining such Consent).

(g) Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 5.04, from time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto, each other party hereto shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further actions, as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the Transactions.

SECTION 5.05 Expenses. Whether or not the Closing takes place, except as expressly set forth in any other provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

SECTION 5.06 Employee Matters. (a) No later than five (5) days prior to the Closing, Parent shall update the Business Employee List to reflect current census information and any changes made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Parent and its Affiliates shall take all such reasonable steps as are required to (i) transfer the employment of each individual who is a Business Employee, other than a TSA Employee, employed by Parent or an Affiliate of Parent (other than a Group Company) to a Group Company and (ii) transfer the employment of each employee of a Group Company who is not a Business Employee or who is a TSA Employee from the Group Companies to Parent or one of its Affiliates (other than a Group Company).

(b) For a period of 12 months following the Closing Date (or until the date of termination of employment of the relevant Continuing Employee, if sooner), Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to each Business Employee who is employed by any Group Company as of the Closing Date and who continues to be so employed as of immediately following the Closing Date (each such Business Employee, a “Continuing Employee”), (i) an annual base salary or wage rate (as applicable) and target short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities (excluding any equity or equity-based, change in control, transaction, retention or long-term incentive compensation opportunities), in each case, that are no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (subject to the same exclusions), (ii) employee benefits (excluding any equity or equity-based, nonqualified deferred compensation, severance, retention, short- and long-term incentive opportunities, change in control, transaction, defined benefit pension and post-employment welfare benefits or perquisites) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (subject to the same exclusions) under the Benefit Plans, in the case of the material Benefit Plans, as set forth on Section 3.14(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter and (iii) cash severance and termination benefits (excluding any severance or termination benefits in respect of equity, equity-based or long-term incentive awards) at the level that would have been applicable to such Continuing

44

Employee under the relevant severance and termination benefit plans, programs, policies, agreements or arrangements of the applicable Group Company, if any, set forth on Section 5.06(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, as in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing, except as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement or as required by applicable Law, each Continuing Employee shall cease to participate in any Benefit Plan sponsored by Parent (other than any Assumed Benefit Plan) as an active employee.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause each Group Company or Purchaser’s other Subsidiaries to, (i) honor all obligations under the Assumed Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) recognize and honor each Continuing Employee’s accrued, unused vacation and other paid time-off consistent with the terms of the vacation or paid time off policies of the Group Company applicable to such Continuing Employee as in effect immediately prior to the Closing and (iii) pay all unpaid cash bonuses and commissions that, following the Closing Date, are or become payable to Continuing Employees with respect to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs under the bonus or commission plans or arrangements of Parent and its Subsidiaries or any Group Company in which the Continuing Employee participated as of the Closing Date and set forth on Section 5.06(c) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, including, to the extent earned, any such bonuses or commissions payable with respect to the applicable portion of the performance year that occurred before the Closing Date, in the case of clause (iii), in accordance with the terms of the applicable bonus and commission plans or arrangements.

(d) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause each Group Company or Purchaser’s other Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to recognize, for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and paid time off and severance levels under all plans, programs and arrangements (excluding equity, equity-based or long-term incentive compensation arrangements) established or maintained by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, any Group Company) following the Closing for the Continuing Employees (the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”), each Continuing Employee’s service with Parent and its Affiliates (including any Group Company) and any of their respective predecessors prior to the Closing Date as if such service were with Purchaser or its Subsidiaries and to the same extent such service was recognized by Parent or its Affiliates under the corresponding Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided that no such recognition of service shall be required to the extent that it would result in a duplication of benefits or applies to any defined benefit pension plan.

(e) (i) From and after the Closing Date, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the applicable Group Company or one of Purchaser’s other Subsidiaries to, assume, and indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates from, all liabilities, obligations, commitments, claims and losses relating to (A) the service of any current or former Business Employee, or any current or former employment candidate in respect of the Business, including any such liabilities, obligations, commitments, claims and losses related to employment, labor or compensation (including any claims incurred prior to the Closing, but not reported until following the Closing, for group medical, group dental, and group short-term disability benefits attributable to the Continuing Employees), but excluding pension, employee welfare and employee benefits, (B) each Assumed Benefit Plan and (C) the actual or constructive

45

termination of a current or former Business Employee’s employment, in each case, whether arising before, on or after the Closing (excluding any severance contemplated by clause (viii) of the definition of Indebtedness) (such liabilities, obligations, commitments, claims and losses, the “Transferred HR Liabilities”). Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Transferred HR Liabilities will not include any Excluded Liabilities.

(ii) Except as specifically provided in this Agreement (including with respect to the Transferred HR Liabilities), neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Group Companies) shall assume or be obligated to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, and Parent and its Affiliates (other than any of the Group Companies), as the case may be, will retain and remain liable to pay, perform and discharge when due, and indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Group Companies) from all employment, labor, compensation, pension, employee welfare and employee benefits related liabilities, obligations, commitments, claims and losses, including with respect to any Benefit Plan (other than an Assumed Benefit Plan), relating to each current and former employment candidate not in respect of the Business, employee or other individual service provider of Parent and its Affiliates (or any dependent or beneficiary of any such employee) (other than the Business Employees), that arise out of an event or events that occur at any time, including with respect to the Redundant Employees (except for such liabilities arising with respect to the employment by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries of any Redundant Employee pursuant to Section 5.06(n)). Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Group Companies) shall have or assume, and Parent and its Affiliates (other than any of the Group Companies) shall have and retain and indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Group Companies) for, any obligation or liability arising under, pursuant to or in connection with any of the Benefit Plans (other than an Assumed Benefit Plan) or, other than any Assumed Benefit Plan, any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement at any time sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Parent or any of its Affiliates or with respect to which Parent or any of its Affiliates has any current or contingent liability or obligation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any obligation or liability arising under or in respect of the Parent Equity Awards and any other equity or equity-based compensation or benefit arrangement maintained or sponsored by Parent or any of its Affiliates and any Taxes related thereto (except for any such Taxes to the extent included in the calculation of Change of Control Payments) and the Parent Defined Compensation Plan), other than obligations or liabilities arising out of claims incurred prior to the Closing, but not reported until following the Closing, for group medical, group dental, and group short-term disability benefits attributable to the Continuing Employees (collectively, the “Excluded Benefit Plan Liabilities”).

46

(f) No later than the date upon which the 401(k) Employees cease active participation in the Parent 401(k) Plan (whether upon the Closing or once the applicable service under the Transition Services Agreement is terminated) (the “401(k) Transition Date”), Purchaser shall, or shall cause the applicable Group Company or Purchaser’s other Subsidiaries to, have in effect one or more defined contribution plans that each include a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code that will provide benefits to Continuing Employees participating in Parent’s 401(k) Plan as of the 401(k) Transition Date (“Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan”). Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall take all actions necessary to cause the Parent 401(k) Plan to fully vest, effective as of the Closing Date, the unvested account balances of the Continuing Employees under the Parent 401(k) Plan. If the 401(k) Transition Date constitutes a distributable event with respect to Parent’s 401(k) Plan for a Continuing Employee, then such Continuing Employee shall be given the opportunity to receive a distribution of his or her account balance (in cash, but also including any promissory notes for associated participant loans) from the Parent 401(k) Plan. Each Continuing Employee who is an active participant in the Parent 401(k) Plan as of the 401(k) Transition Date shall become eligible to participate in Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan as of the 401(k) Transition Date. If permitted under applicable Law, Purchaser agrees to cause Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan to allow each such Continuing Employee to make a “direct rollover” to Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan of the account balances of such Continuing Employee (in cash, but including a direct in-kind rollover of promissory notes evidencing any outstanding loans) under the Parent 401(k) Plan if such direct rollover is elected in accordance with applicable Law by such Continuing Employee. If a direct rollover is not so permitted, then Parent and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate to determine if a “trust-to-trust” transfer of the account balances of the applicable Continuing Employees is appropriate and desirable, and if so, Parent and Purchaser shall further reasonably cooperate to effect such transfer. Furthermore, if the 401(k) Transition Date occurs after the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, Parent shall make discretionary year-end matching contributions for the year in which the Closing occurs on behalf of any Continuing Employees who remain employed with Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including TSA Employees) through the date that service with Parent and its Affiliates was required for employees of Parent and its Affiliates to receive such matching contributions, provided that, Purchaser shall reimburse Parent for any such matching contributions so made.

(g) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, any Group Company) to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) waive any pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period under the Purchaser Benefit Plans that are group health, dental, and vision plans, to the same extent and for the same purposes as such pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period was waived or satisfied by the Continuing Employees (including their respective dependents and beneficiaries, if any) under the Benefit Plan that is a group health, dental and vision plan under the corresponding Benefit Plan or any plan, program, agreement, arrangement in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing, and (ii) during the plan year in which Continuing Employees cease to participate in the applicable Benefit Plan as a result of the Closing or pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, as applicable, provide credit for any coinsurance, deductibles or maximum out-of-pocket payments paid by Continuing Employees (including their respective dependents and beneficiaries, if any) prior to the Closing Date for the plan year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of satisfying all coinsurance, deductibles and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employees for the applicable plan year as if such amounts has been paid in accordance with the corresponding Purchaser Benefit Plan.

47

(h) Effective as of the Closing Date, Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies) shall assume or retain, as applicable, and indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) from and against, all liabilities and obligations arising under or in respect of the Parent Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan (the “Parent Deferred Compensation Plan”) with respect to the Business Employees that participate in the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Participating Business Employees”), including the obligation to pay any amounts payable under the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan to such Participating Business Employees prior to, on or after the Closing Date (all such assumed or retained liabilities and obligations, collectively, the “DCP Obligations”) in accordance with such Participating Business Employees’ deferral elections; provided that Parent and its Affiliates shall take all necessary actions, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, to cause each Participating Business Employee to cease active participation in the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan, effective no later than immediately prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, in addition to the DCP Obligations, Parent and its Affiliates shall assume or retain, as applicable, all liabilities, obligations and commitments under the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan with respect to any former employee of, or service provider to, the Business or any other Person who participates in the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan and their respective beneficiaries, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) shall have or assume any obligation or liability arising under or in respect of the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan.

(i) To the extent any of the terms and conditions of employment set forth in Sections 5.06(b), 5.06(c), 5.06(d) or 5.06(g) conflict with those in the Collective Bargaining Agreements applicable to any Business Employee who is represented by a labor union, works council, or other labor organization, the terms and conditions of employment set forth in such Collective Bargaining Agreements shall govern for those Business Employees. Prior to the Closing, Parent and its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) shall take all steps, on a timely basis, as are required under applicable Law or any Collective Bargaining Agreement, to satisfy any notice, information, consultation or bargaining obligations owed to the Business Employees, TSA Employees and their representatives (including any labor union, works council or other labor organization, labor board or employee group) and any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions, including, in respect of the Shared Union Business Employees, using reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable labor unions to execute a memorandum of understanding or similar agreement recognizing the continued application of the Shared CBAs to the Shared Union Business Employees until the expiration or termination of each such agreement or execute a new collective bargaining agreement with the appropriate Group Company in respect of such Shared Union Business Employees (collectively, the “Collective Bargaining Obligations”). Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiary shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and its Affiliates in respect of the Collective Bargaining Obligations. To the extent required in order to comply with applicable Law or ensure the ability of the Continuing Employees to continue to provide services to the Business, Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiary or one of the Group Companies shall become a party to any Collective Bargaining Agreement with respect to any Continuing Employee currently covered by the Shared CBAs; provided that, Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiary may replace employee benefit plans sponsored by Parent with alternative plans providing comparable benefits in the aggregate so long as Purchaser commences such discussions with the applicable union in respect of such alternative benefit plans (i) following the Closing or (ii) prior to the Closing with Parent’s prior written consent. In addition, Purchaser

48

shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including as of the Closing, the Group Companies) to, be responsible for all liabilities arising under any Collective Bargaining Agreement with respect to any Continuing Employee; provided, that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) shall be liable or otherwise responsible for any liabilities arising from the (A) Collective Bargaining Obligations owed prior to the Closing, subject to Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiary’s compliance in connection therewith pursuant to this Section 5.06(i) or (B) the Shared CBAs in respect of any current or former employees covered by the Shared CBAs who are not Business Employees or that are otherwise not related to the Business. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to join any industrial, employer or similar association or federation solely to the extent membership is required for the Collective Bargaining Agreements currently applicable to Continuing Employees to continue to apply following the Closing.

(j) Following the date hereof, including following the Closing, the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate in all matters reasonably necessary to ensure the proper administration of any compensation and benefit plans, including the Benefit Plans, including by exchanging information and data relating to the Business Employees (except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law).

(k) Nothing contemplated by this Section 5.06 shall be construed as (i) conferring upon any Person (including any Continuing Employee or TSA Employee), other than the parties hereto, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, (ii) establishing, or constituting an amendment, modification or termination of, or an undertaking to amend, establish, modify or terminate, any Benefit Plan, Purchaser Benefit Plan, or any other compensation or benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (iii) requiring Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to be obligated to continue the employment of any Continuing Employee or TSA Employee for any period of time after the Closing Date or (iv) altering or limiting the rights of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee or TSA Employee or to amend, modify or terminate any Benefit Plan, Purchaser Benefit Plan, or any other compensation or benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.

(l) Prior to the Closing, and subject to Purchaser’s reasonable assistance as reasonably requested, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary to enable any Business Employee who requires a visa, green card or similar application in order to work for the Business in his or her current position to continue to work in such position as a Continuing Employee on the Closing Date.

(m) Effective as of the final Applicable Termination Date (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) for all Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) supported by a TSA Employee, or such earlier date as agreed by Parent and Purchaser, Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries (including one of the Group Companies) shall offer employment to such TSA Employee that complies with the Offer Conditions, and such TSA Employee shall cease to be an active employee of Parent and its Affiliates. An offer of employment satisfies the “Offer Conditions” if it: (i) is not reasonably expected to trigger any severance obligations under any Benefit Plan (and Parent shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to provide the information necessary to avoid any such obligations); (ii) provides for a

49

comparable position at the same or a nearby geographic work location; and (iii) otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 5.06(b) as if the offeree was a Continuing Employee, or if such offer is for initial employment following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, provides for a base salary and target short-term cash incentive compensation opportunity that are each no less favorable than those provided by Parent and its Affiliates as of immediately prior to such offer. In the case of any TSA Employee who becomes an employee of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Group Companies) pursuant to this Section 5.06(m), all references in Sections 5.06(d), (e), (g), (i) and (l) to the “Closing” or the “Closing Date” shall be deemed to be references to the day on which such individual becomes an employee of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries. Parent and its Affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each TSA Employee who receives an offer of employment pursuant to this Section 5.06(m) to accept such offer in accordance with its terms; provided that, the foregoing shall not require Parent and its Affiliates to offer any additional compensation.

(n) If, following the Closing and prior to the termination of the Transition Services Agreement, Parent determines that an employee of Parent or one of its Affiliates (other than the TSA Employees) will, following the termination of any of the Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement), no longer have a role with Parent and its Affiliates (a “Redundant Employee”), then: (i) Parent shall so notify Purchaser regarding such Redundant Employee; (ii) Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries may, but is not obligated to, offer employment to such Redundant Employee, provided that any offer of employment shall satisfy the Offer Conditions; and (iii) Parent and its Affiliates shall waive their rights under Section 5.12(b) with respect to such Redundant Employee. Neither Purchaser nor its Subsidiaries (including the Group Companies) shall be responsible or otherwise liable for any obligations or liabilities arising under any claims related to the employment by Parent or its Affiliates of any Redundant Employee or their termination therefrom or any payments or entitlements due and owing to any Redundant Employee relating to the termination of their employment by Parent or its Affiliates.

SECTION 5.07 Tax Matters. (a) Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes. Purchaser and Parent agree that:

(i) In the case of any Pre-Closing Separate Return that is required by applicable Law to be filed on or before the Closing Date, Parent shall (x) timely file, or cause to be filed, such Pre-Closing Separate Return with the relevant Taxing Authority and (y) timely pay, or cause to be paid, to the relevant Taxing Authority the amount shown as due on such Pre-Closing Separate Return.

(ii) In the case of any Pre-Closing Separate Return that is required by applicable Law to be filed (taking into account applicable extensions) after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the sole right to prepare, or cause to be prepared, such Pre-Closing Separate Return. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) Parent shall prepare all Tax Returns of the Parent Consolidated Group, (B) in no event shall Parent be required to provide any Person with any Tax Return or copy of any Tax Return of (I) Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies and any portions of a Tax Return filed with respect to a Group Company or the Business) or (II) a Parent Consolidated Group (other than a

50

portion of a Tax Return of a Parent Consolidated Group that relates solely to a Group Company or the Business) and (C) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have any rights (pursuant to this Section 5.07 or otherwise) with respect to any Proceeding relating to Taxes or any Tax Return of (I) Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies) or (II) a Parent Consolidated Group; provided, that, to the extent the resolution or settlement of any such Proceeding would reasonably be expected to materially impact a Pre-Closing Separate Return, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to notify Purchaser of such resolution or settlement promptly, and such notice shall include sufficient detail of such resolution or settlement so as to allow the Purchaser to, or cause the Group Companies to, file, re-file or amend any Pre-Closing Separate Returns required to reflect the result of such resolution or settlement.

(b) Cooperation. Parent and Purchaser shall fully and timely cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives to fully and timely cooperate, as reasonably requested by the other party in preparing and filing Tax Returns of any Group Company or related to the Business and conducting any Proceeding relating to Taxes of a Group Company or the Business, including by maintaining and making available to each other any records necessary in connection with any Tax Return of a Group Company or any Tax dispute or audit relating to Taxes of a Group Company. Purchaser and Parent shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, (i) retain until 60 calendar days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (or such later date as required by applicable Law) all accounting and Tax records and information that may be relevant to any Tax Return of a Group Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period and (ii) allow each other and their Affiliates, agents and representatives, at the requesting party’s expense and at times and dates mutually acceptable to the parties, to inspect, review and make copies of such records and information as Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, may reasonably need from time to time in connection with Tax compliance.

(c) Tax Sharing Agreements. Parent shall cause all Tax sharing or indemnification agreements (other than commercial agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business the primary purpose of which is not the allocation or sharing of Taxes) between or among any Person including Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Group Company), on the one hand, and any Group Company, on the other hand, to terminate on or before the Closing Date and neither Purchaser not any of the Group Companies or their respective Affiliates shall have any obligations thereunder after the Closing.

(d) Section 336 Elections.

(i) At the request and at the sole discretion of Purchaser, Parent and Purchaser will make an election under Section 336(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and under any comparable provision of applicable state or local Law (collectively, the “Section 336(e) Elections”) with respect to the indirect acquisition of the Equity Interests of each of Fire Systems International, Inc., Century Sprinkler Holdings Corporation, Chain Electric Holdings, Inc. and ASG International Inc. (together, the “Section 336(e) Group Companies”) pursuant to this Agreement. To effect such Section 336(e) Elections,

51

(1) upon request from Purchaser, Parent shall enter into a written, binding agreement with each of the Section 336(e) Group Companies (each such agreement, a “Section 336(e) Agreement”) to make the Section 336(e) Elections, in the form of Exhibit D as required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h)(1)(i); (2) Parent shall retain a copy of each Section 336(e) Agreement, as required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h)(1)(ii); (3) Parent shall prepare the Section 336(e) statements required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h)(1)(iii) and cause such statements to be attached to the consolidated federal income Tax Return (and any corresponding state or local income Tax Returns) of the Parent Consolidated Group for the Tax year that includes the Closing Date; and (4) Parent shall provide a copy of the Section 336(e) statements described in clause (3) to each of the Section 336(e) Group Companies, as applicable, on or before the due date (including extensions) for filing such consolidated federal income Tax Return (and any corresponding state or local income Tax Returns) for the Tax year that includes the Closing Date, as required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h)(1)(iv). Parent and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) (A) take all necessary steps (including the timely filing of all required Tax Returns) to properly make and preserve the Section 336(e) Elections in accordance with applicable federal income Tax Law (and any corresponding provisions under applicable state or local Law); and (B) report the purchase of the Section 336(e) Group Companies consistent with such Section 336(e) Elections and not take any position contrary thereto or action that could cause the Section 336(e) Elections to be invalid.

(ii) In connection with the Section 336(e) Elections, if made at Purchaser’s election, Purchaser shall pay to Parent (on Seller’s behalf), an amount of additional consideration (the “Tax Amount”) as being necessary to cause the proceeds received by Parent solely from the sale of the stock of the Section 336(e) Group Companies pursuant to this Agreement and accompanying Section 336(e) Elections, after the payment of all U.S. federal and state income taxes related thereto, to be equal to the net proceeds that Parent would have received with respect to such sale, after the payment of all U.S. federal and state income taxes related thereto, had the Section 336(e) Elections not been made.

(iii) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Statement becomes final in accordance with Section 1.04, Parent shall submit to Purchaser a proposed calculation of the Tax Amount calculated (and showing reasonable detail) in accordance with the terms of Section 5.07(d)(ii). No more than thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of Parent’s calculation of the Tax Amount, Purchaser shall deliver to Parent Purchaser’s comments, if any, in writing with respect to the Tax Amount as calculated by Parent (and any disagreement Purchaser may have with such calculation). Parent shall consider Purchaser’s written comments in good faith. If a dispute arises between the parties with regard to the amount of the Tax Amount, Purchaser and Parent shall consult in good faith with respect to specific points of disagreement in an effort to resolve the dispute. If Purchaser and Parent are unable to resolve all disagreements within fourteen (14) days after the dispute arose, such disagreement shall be referred to a nationally recognized accounting firm that is mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Parent (the “Tax Accounting Firm”). Absent

52

manifest error, determinations made by the Tax Accounting Firm with respect to any such disagreement shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Parent for all purposes under this Agreement. Each of Purchaser and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Tax Accounting Firm to render its determination within twenty (20) days after referral of such disagreement to the Tax Accounting Firm, and each shall cooperate with the Tax Accounting Firm and shall provide the Tax Accounting Firm with reasonable access to its books, records, personnel and representatives and such other information as the Tax Accounting Firm may require in order to render its determination. Promptly following the determination of the Tax Amount pursuant to this Section 5.07(d)(iii), Purchaser shall notify Parent of its decision to make or not make the Section 336(e) Elections, and to the extent Purchaser has elected to make the Section 336(e) Elections, Purchaser shall pay the Tax Amount to Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Parent.

(e) Tax Certificates. Parent shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing (i) a duly executed copy of IRS Form W-9 from Seller (or Seller’s regarded parent entity if Seller is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and (ii) the Section 336(e) Agreements contemplated by Section 5.07(d).

(f) Purchase Price Allocation. The Purchase Price (plus any items to the extent properly taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code) shall be allocated among the assets of the Group Companies properly treated as acquired for Tax purposes pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with Sections 1060 and 336(e) of the Code, as applicable, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “Purchase Price Allocation”) in accordance with Exhibit E. Within 90 calendar days after the Closing Statement becomes final, Purchaser shall deliver the Purchase Price Allocation to Parent. Parent shall have the right to review and raise any objections in writing to the Purchase Price Allocation during the 20-day period after receipt thereof. If Parent does not raise any objections in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5.07(f), Parent shall be deemed to have agreed to the Purchase Price Allocation and the Purchase Price Allocation shall become the final Purchase Price Allocation. If Parent raises an objection in writing in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5.07(f), the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If Purchaser and Parent are able to finally agree on a purchase price allocation pursuant to this Section 5.07(f), that allocation shall be the “Final Purchase Price Allocation”. If Purchaser and Parent are unable to reach a timely agreement regarding the Purchase Price Allocation, each party shall be entitled to adopt its own position regarding the Purchase Price Allocation with no responsibility or liability with respect to the other party’s position. If the Final Purchase Price Allocation is agreed, Purchaser and Parent agree to (x) be bound by the Final Purchase Price Allocation, (y) act in accordance with the Final Purchase Price Allocation in the preparation of financial statements and filing of all Tax Returns (including with respect to IRS Form 8594 and IRS Form 8883) and (z) take no position inconsistent with the Final Purchase Price Allocation on any Tax Return unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The parties shall, in good faith, make adjustments to the Final Purchase Price Allocation as necessary to account for any adjustments to the Purchase Price. In the event that any Taxing Authority disputes the Final Purchase Price Allocation, Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly notify the other party in writing of the nature of such dispute.

(g) Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes imposed or levied by reason of, in connection with or attributable to this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be borne solely by Purchaser. Purchaser and Parent shall reasonably cooperate to prepare and timely file any Tax Returns relating to such Transfer Taxes and timely pay all such Transfer Taxes.

(h) Closing Date; Straddle Periods. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent permitted or required by appliable Law, the taxable year of each Group Company that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be treated as ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A). In the case of any Taxes that are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax related to the portion of such Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes) be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on and included the Closing Date based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the day on the Closing Date. In the case of clause (ii), exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions computed as if the Closing Date was the last day of the Straddle Period) shall be allocated between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period thereafter in proportion to the number of days in each such portion.

(i) Transaction Expenses and Change of Control Payments. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, deductions attributable to Transaction Expenses and Change of Control Payments (collectively, “Transaction Tax Deductions”) shall be attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

SECTION 5.08 Publicity. No press release or other public announcement concerning the Transactions shall be issued by a party or such party’s Affiliates without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such press release or public announcement may be required by applicable Law, Judgment or any Governmental Entity, in which case the party required to make the press release or public announcement shall allow the other party reasonable time to comment thereon in advance of such issuance and the disclosing party shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments provided by the other party. The parties agree that any press releases to be issued with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be in the form, of substance and with timing agreed upon by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Purchaser (the “Announcements”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Section 5.08 shall not apply to any press release or other public announcement made by any of the parties hereto which (i) is consistent with the Announcements and the terms of this Agreement and does not contain any information relating to Parent, Purchaser, the Group Companies or any of their respective Affiliates that has not been previously announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) is made in the ordinary course of business and does not relate specifically to this Agreement or the Transactions, (b) each of Parent and Purchaser may make internal announcements to their

54

respective employees that are consistent with the parties’ prior public disclosures regarding the Transactions and (c) Purchaser and its Affiliates and any of their respective affiliated funds or management entities and Representatives may provide information to Purchaser’s current or prospective investors (including limited partners of investment funds affiliated Purchaser and/or its Affiliates) and/or Lenders (and their respective Representatives) regarding the subject matter and terms of this Agreement in connection with their respective fundraising, marketing, informational, transactional and/or reporting activities, in each case, without any required approval by any party hereto, so long as the recipients of such information are bound by customary confidentiality obligations with respect to such information.

SECTION 5.09 Names Following Closing. From and after the Closing, except as expressly provided in this Section 5.09 or in the Brand Licensing Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, following the termination or expiration of the Brand Licensing Agreement (including any post-termination wind-down periods thereunder), Purchaser shall cause each Group Company to, as applicable, (i) change its legal name to remove any reference to the Names, (ii) file in each jurisdiction in which each Group Company is qualified to do business all documents necessary to reflect such change of name or to terminate its qualification in such jurisdiction under such name and (iii) promptly thereafter, provide documentation to Parent evidencing such name changes and filings. Purchaser acknowledges that it has no rights or interests, and is not acquiring any rights or interests, directly or indirectly, through the Group Companies or otherwise, to use the Names, except as expressly provided herein or in the Brand Licensing Agreement.

SECTION 5.10 Records. (a) Purchaser recognizes that certain records of the Group Companies may contain information relating to Subsidiaries, divisions and businesses of Parent and its Affiliates other than the Group Companies, and that Parent and its Affiliates may retain copies thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, all books, records and other documents pertaining to the Group Companies’ businesses that relate to the period prior to the Closing Date (including historical financial statements) will be retained by the Group Companies.

(b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Group Companies to, retain, for at least seven years after the Closing Date, all books, records and other documents pertaining to the Group Companies’ businesses that relate to the period prior to the Closing Date, except for Tax Returns and related documentation which shall be governed by Section 5.07(a)(ii), and to make the same available after the Closing Date for inspection and copying by Parent, upon reasonable notice during regular business hours and upon reasonable request (i) for purposes of satisfying or complying with applicable Law, any Judgment or applicable Tax, financial reporting, accounting, auditing or regulatory requirements or (ii) in connection with a Proceeding brought by a Governmental Entity or other third party against Parent or any of its Affiliates. Purchaser shall also, and shall cause the Group Companies to, make reasonably available Purchaser’s or its Subsidiaries’ personnel (including, after the Closing, personnel of the Group Companies) during regular business hours to assist in locating such records and make reasonably available Purchaser’s or its Subsidiaries’ personnel (including personnel of the Group Companies) whose assistance or participation is reasonably required by Parent or its Representatives in anticipation of, or preparation for, existing or future actions or tax proceedings by a Governmental Entity, provided, however, that Parent and its representatives shall conduct any such permitted activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with

55

the business or operations of Purchaser and the Group Companies or any of their Affiliates; provided further, however, that none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies after the Closing) shall be required to provide such access if Purchaser determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so could (x) violate applicable Law or an applicable Judgment or (y) jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or other legal privilege (it being understood that Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such access in a manner that does not violate any such Law or Judgment or jeopardize any such privilege or protection), provided, that in the event Purchaser does not disclose information due to the foregoing matters, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to seek alternative means to disclose such information to the maximum extent possible, including by entering into a joint defense or similar agreement. Nothing in this Section 5.10(b) shall be construed to require Purchaser or any of its Representatives to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals or opinions that are not readily available (it being understood that Purchaser shall not be required to prepare any financial projections, forecasts or any other prospective or pro forma financial information).

SECTION 5.11 Non-Solicitation. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage, or take any other action to knowingly facilitate, any Alternative Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Proposal, (b) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person (other than Purchaser) any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, any Alternative Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Proposal or (c) approve, endorse, recommend, execute or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or merger, acquisition or similar agreement constituting or contemplating any Alternative Proposal.

SECTION 5.12 Non-Solicitation of Employees. (a) As a necessary measure to ensure that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ realizes the goodwill and associated benefits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, directly or indirectly, on its or their own behalf or on behalf of a third party, solicit for employment or hire or engage any then-current or former employee of any Group Company or attempt to persuade any such employee to terminate his or her employment with any Group Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude (i) general solicitations by Parent or its Affiliates or by a bona fide search firm that are not targeted at any such employee or (ii) the hiring of (A)(1) any such employee with the title of Director or above who has ceased to be employed by any Group Company at least 12 months prior to commencement of employment discussions between Parent or its Affiliates and such employee and (2) any such other employee who has ceased to be employed by any Group Company at least six months prior to commencement of employment discussions between Parent or its Affiliates and such employee or (B) any such employee who is an administrative assistant or other similar administrative-level employee and responds to any general solicitation placed by Parent or its Affiliates (or by a bona fide search firm) that is not targeted at such employee.

56

(b) In connection with the benefits provided by Parent and received by Purchaser under the Brand Licensing Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement, for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date, (i) Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Group Companies) to not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire or engage any then-current or former employee of Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than any Group Companies) or attempt to persuade any such employee to terminate his or her employment with Parent or any of its Affiliates and (ii) Purchaser shall not direct or encourage its Affiliates (other than Purchaser and its Subsidiaries), on its or their own behalf or on behalf of any third party, to solicit for employment or hire or otherwise engage any employee of Parent or any of its Affiliates, or attempt to persuade any employee of Parent or any of its Affiliates to terminate his or her employment with Parent or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude (i) general solicitations by Purchaser or its Affiliates or by a bona fide search firm that are not targeted at any such employee or (ii) the hiring of (A)(1) any such employee with the title of Director or above who has ceased to be employed by Parent or any of its Affiliates at least 12 months prior to commencement of employment discussions between Purchaser or its Affiliates and such employee and (2) any such other employee who has ceased to be employed by Parent or any of its Affiliates at least six months prior to commencement of employment discussions between Purchaser or its Affiliates and such employee or (B) any such employee who is an administrative assistant or other similar administrative-level employee and responds to any general solicitation placed by Purchaser or its Affiliates (or by a bona fide search firm) that is not targeted at such employee.

(c) Each of Parent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees and acknowledges, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that (i) the other party is relying to its detriment on the covenants set forth in this Section 5.12 in connection with entering into this Agreement and consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements and would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 5.12, (ii) the enforcement of any covenants set forth in this Section 5.12 against it or its Affiliates would not impose any undue burden upon it or its Affiliates and (iii) none of the covenants set forth in this Section 5.12 are unreasonable as to duration or scope as of the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.13 Non-Competition. (a) As a necessary measure to ensure that Purchaser realizes the goodwill and associated benefits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for a period of 5 years from the Closing Date (the “Non-Competition Period”), Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the United States (or any of its territories including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) or Canada, invest in, acquire, own, manage, control, operate or otherwise engage in, or participate in the ownership, management, control, operation or engagement of, any RSB Competitive Activity, or enter into any business arrangement with, make an investment (whether equity, debt or otherwise) in, lend or otherwise provide any money or assets to, provide any guaranty or other financial assistance to, or otherwise partner with any third party for the purpose of engaging in any RSB Competitive Activity; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude Parent or its Affiliates from acquiring (or entering into an agreement to acquire) a Person, business or portion thereof which derived less than 20% of its consolidated or combined, as applicable, revenues for the prior 12-month period (measured as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter prior to the execution of definitive documentation related to such acquisition) from any RSB Competitive Activity; provided further that Parent or its applicable Affiliate shall be required to divest such Person, business or portion thereof engaging in such RSB Competitive Activity, or otherwise cause such Person, business or portion thereof to discontinue such RSB Competitive Activity, within 12 months after the consummation of such acquisition (regardless of when during the Non-Competition Period the acquisition (or entry into definitive documentation with respect thereto) occurs).

57

(b) In connection with the benefits provided by Parent and received by Purchaser under the Brand Licensing Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement, during the Non-Competition Period, Purchaser shall not (solely to the extent using the Business, the Group Companies or any of their properties, assets or personnel), and shall cause the Business and the Group Companies to not, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the United States (or any of its territories including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) or Canada, invest in, acquire, own, manage, control, operate or otherwise engage in, or participate in the ownership, management, control, operation or engagement of, any Commercial Competitive Activity, or enter into any business arrangement with, make an investment (whether equity, debt or otherwise) in, lend or otherwise provide any money or assets to, provide any guaranty or other financial assistance to, or otherwise partner with any third party for the purpose of engaging in any Commercial Competitive Activity; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude Purchaser, the Business or the Group Companies from acquiring (or entering into an agreement to acquire) a Person, business or portion thereof which derived less than 20% of its consolidated or combined, as applicable, revenues for the prior 12-month period (measured as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter prior to the execution of definitive documentation related to such acquisition) from any Commercial Competitive Activity; provided further that Purchaser or the applicable Group Company shall be required to divest such Person, business or portion thereof engaging in such Commercial Competitive Activity, or otherwise cause such Person, business or portion thereof to discontinue such Commercial Competitive Activity, within 12 months after the consummation of such acquisition (regardless of when during the Non-Competition Period the acquisition (or entry into definitive documentation with respect thereto) occurs).

(c) Each of Parent (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) and Purchaser (on behalf of itself and the Group Companies) agrees and acknowledges that (i) the other party is relying to its detriment on the covenants set forth in this Section 5.13 in connection with entering into this Agreement and consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements and would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 5.13, (ii)(A) in the case of Parent, the enforcement of any covenants set forth in this Section 5.13 against it or its Affiliates would not impose any undue burden upon it or its Affiliates and (B) in the case of Purchaser, the enforcement of any covenants set forth in this Section 5.13 against it or the Group Companies would not impose any undue burden upon it or the Group Companies and (iii) none of the covenants set forth in this Section 5.13 are unreasonable as to duration or scope as of the date of this Agreement.

(a) Purchaser agrees (i) that all rights to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses in favor of the directors, officers, employees and agents of any Group Company (each, a “D&O Indemnitee” and collectively, the “D&O Indemnitees”), in each case, as provided in the organizational documents of such Group Company in effect as of the date hereof or pursuant to any Contracts set forth on Section 5.14(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, in each case with respect to any matters occurring prior to the Closing, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect and (ii) that Purchaser shall cause the Group Companies to perform and discharge their

58

respective obligations to provide such indemnification and/or advancement of expenses following the Closing. Any indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions contained in the organizational documents of the Group Companies shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing or at any time prior to the Closing, were D&O Indemnitees, unless such amendment, repeal or modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) The provisions of this Section 5.14 shall survive the Closing and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnitee, their heirs and their personal representatives and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Purchaser and the Group Companies, and may not be terminated or modified in any manner adverse to such Persons without their prior written consent, unless such termination or modification is required by applicable Law.

SECTION 5.15 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives to, keep confidential and not disclose to any other Person any confidential and non-public information regarding the Business or the Group Companies. The obligations of Parent under this Section 5.15 shall not apply to information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of Parent’s obligations under this Section 5.15 or (ii) is required to be disclosed by applicable Law or any Judgment; provided, however, that in the case of clause (ii), Parent shall notify Purchaser as early as practicable prior to disclosure to allow Purchaser to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of such information.

SECTION 5.16 Resignations. Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Purchaser on the Closing Date resignation letters of such members of the board of directors (or comparable governing body) of each Group Company and officers of each Group Company, such resignation letters to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and conditioned upon, and effective concurrently with, the Closing.

SECTION 5.17 Notification. Parent shall give prompt notice to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to Parent, of (a) the breach or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to be true and correct will or is reasonably likely to result in the conditions set forth in Section 6.02(a) or Section 6.03(a) becoming incapable of being satisfied or becoming materially delayed in being satisfied, or (b) the failure by it to perform or comply with or the material delay of the performance or compliance with in any material respect any obligation or covenant to be performed or complied with by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement; provided further, however, that any failure by a party to provide such notification shall not be deemed to result in a breach of any covenant or agreement of such party hereunder (including this Section 5.17) (it being understood that this proviso shall have no effect on whether the underlying facts, matters or circumstances otherwise result in a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Article II, Article III or Article IV).

59

At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall cause the actions and the transactions set forth in Section 5.18 of the Parent Disclosure Letter to occur (such actions and transactions, the “Pre-Closing Actions”). Parent shall keep Purchaser reasonably apprised of the material aspects of the planning for and execution of the Pre-Closing Actions, including in respect of any Consents or notices required to be received or given in connection with any such Pre-Closing Actions (including to or from any Governmental Entities). All material documentation prepared in connection with the Pre-Closing Actions shall be provided to Purchaser as promptly as reasonably practicable such that Purchaser is provided a reasonable amount of time to review and Parent shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments on such documents as shall be provided by Purchaser.

SECTION 5.19 Shared Contracts. (a) From the date hereof until the date that is 12 months following the Closing Date, Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to work together (and, if necessary and desirable, to work with any third party to any Shared Contract) to divide, partially assign, modify or replicate (in whole or in part) the respective rights, properties, claims and obligations under and in respect of any Shared Contract, such that, following the Closing, (i) Purchaser, a Subsidiary of Purchaser or a Group Company is the beneficiary of the rights, properties and claims and is responsible for the obligations related to the portion of such Shared Contract related to the Business (the “Purchaser Portion”), which rights, properties and claims shall be an asset of and which obligations shall be a liability of Purchaser, a Subsidiary of Purchaser or a Group Company, and (ii) Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent (other than a Group Company) is the beneficiary of the rights, properties and claims and is responsible for the obligations related to such Shared Contract relating to the Parent Business (the “Parent Portion”), which rights, properties and claims shall be an asset of and which obligations shall be a liability of Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent (other than a Group Company). Nothing in this Agreement shall require the division, partial assignment, modification or replication of a Shared Contract, other than a Shared CBA (which, for this purpose, shall be governed by Section 5.06(i)), unless and until any necessary Consents are obtained or made, as applicable. If Parent and Purchaser or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, are not able to enter into an arrangement to divide, partially assign, modify or replicate (in whole or in part) the rights and obligations under and in respect of any such Shared Contract prior to the Closing (whether as a practical matter or as a result of any such division, assignment, modification or replication requiring the Consent of any Governmental Entity or other third party and such Consent has not been obtained or such other requirement has not been satisfied at or prior to the Closing), the Closing shall, subject to Section 1.02, nonetheless take place on the terms set forth herein and, thereafter and until the earlier of (x) the date that is 12 months following the Closing and (y) the date on which the division, partial assignment, modification or replication of such Shared Contract is effected, Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate in any commercially reasonable arrangement to provide that (1) Purchaser, a Subsidiary of Purchaser or a Group Company shall receive the interest in the benefits, rights, properties, claims and obligations of the Purchaser Portion under and in respect of such Shared Contract and (2) Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent (other than a Group Company) shall receive the interest in the benefits, rights, properties, claims and obligations of the Parent Portion under and in respect of such Shared Contract. Parent and Purchaser shall not, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to not, amend, modify or terminate any such Shared Contract in a manner adverse to the Business or the Parent Business, respectively, in any material respect without the consent of Purchaser or Parent, respectively (other than any termination that occurs as a result of the expiration of the applicable term of any such Shared Contract in accordance with the terms of such Shared Contract).

60

(b) Nothing in this Section 5.19 shall require either Parent or Purchaser nor any their respective Affiliates to contribute capital, pay or grant any consideration or concession in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person (other than the reimbursement of such Person’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees). For avoidance of doubt, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees shall not include any purchase price, license fee or other payment or consideration for the procurement of any asset secured to replace an asset in the course of Parent’s or Purchaser’s obligations under Section 5.19(a).

SECTION 5.20 Replacement of Credit Support Obligations. (a) With respect to any Credit Support Obligations pursuant to which Parent, its Subsidiaries (other than the Group Companies) or third parties on behalf of Parent provide credit support to the Business or the Group Companies, including those set forth in Section 5.20(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, Purchaser agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide replacement guarantees, letters of credit, surety bonds or other assurances of payment, and Purchaser and Parent shall cooperate to obtain any necessary release of Parent, its Subsidiaries and any such third party guarantor, effective as of the Closing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Parent with respect to all such Credit Support Obligations. If Purchaser has not obtained the complete and unconditional release of Parent and its Subsidiaries and any such third party guarantor from any such Credit Support Obligation (each such Credit Support Obligation, until such time as such Credit Support Obligation is so released and to the extent related to the Group Companies or the Business, a “Parent Continuing Credit Support Obligation”), then (i) until such release is obtained, (A) Purchaser shall continue to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly the complete and unconditional release of Parent, its Subsidiaries and any such third party guarantor from each Parent Continuing Credit Support Obligation and (B) Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Group Companies) shall agree not to renew, extend the term of, increase the obligations under or transfer to a third party any Contract pursuant to which the Business or the Group Companies may be liable under any Parent Continuing Credit Support Obligation and (ii) any demand or draw upon, or withdrawal from, any Parent Continuing Credit Support Obligation or any cash or other collateral required to be posted in connection with or in the place of any Parent Continuing Credit Support Obligation and the carrying costs of any cash or other collateral, the fronting fee costs and any other out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses resulting from a Parent Continuing Credit Support Obligation (“Assumed Credit Support Obligations”) shall be deemed liabilities of Purchaser. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify Parent against, and hold it harmless from, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, including reasonable and documented third party legal fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) suffered or incurred by Parent and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, equityholders, agents and representatives to the extent arising or resulting from the Assumed Credit Support Obligations.

61

(b) With respect to any Credit Support Obligations pursuant to which the Group Companies provide credit support to Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Group Companies), including those set forth in Section 5.20(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, Parent agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide replacement guarantees, letters of credit, surety bonds or other assurances of payment, and Purchaser and Parent shall cooperate to obtain any necessary release of the Group Companies, effective as of the Closing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Parent with respect to all such Credit Support Obligations. If Parent has not obtained the complete and unconditional release of the Group Companies from any such Credit Support Obligation (each such Credit Support Obligation, until such time as such Credit Support Obligation is so released, a “Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation”), then (i) until such release is obtained, (A) Parent shall continue to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly the complete and unconditional release of the Group Companies from each Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation and (B) Parent shall agree not to renew, extend the term of, increase the obligations under or transfer to a third party any Contract pursuant to which Parent or the Parent Business may be liable under any Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation and (ii) any demand or draw upon, or withdrawal from, any Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation or any cash or other collateral required to be posted in connection with or in the place of any Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation and the carrying costs of any cash or other collateral, the fronting fee costs and any other out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses resulting from a Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation (“Retained Credit Support Obligations”) shall be deemed liabilities of Parent. From and after the Closing, Parent shall indemnify Purchaser against, and hold it harmless from, any Loss suffered or incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, equityholders, agents and representatives to the extent arising or resulting from the Retained Credit Support Obligations.

SECTION 5.21 Release. (a) Effective as of the Closing, subject in all cases to Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement (including with respect to Section 8.17), Purchaser, on behalf of the Purchaser Parties (including, for all purposes of this Section 5.21, the Group Companies), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases, discharges, remises and acquits Parent, its Affiliates and each of their respective successors, assigns and past, present and future directors, managers, officers and employees, and each of their respective heirs, successors and assigns, in each case in their capacity as such (collectively, the “Parent Parties”), jointly and individually, of and from any and all Proceedings and claims, demands, obligations, causes of action or liabilities arising on or prior to Closing, out of or in any matter related to (i) the organization, management or operation of the Business or the Group Companies or their relationship with the Group Companies, in each case relating to any matter, occurrence, action or activity at or prior to the Closing, (ii) the direct or indirect ownership of the Transferred Equity Interests or any other interest in any Group Company, (iii) the termination of the Seller’s status as an equityholder of the Transferred Company as a result of the consummation of the Transactions, (iv) actions taken by the officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants and representatives of the Group Companies in connection with the negotiation, authorization, approval and recommendation of the terms of the Transactions, (v) any rights to revenue, stock, options or warrants of, or dividends or other distributions in respect of, any Transferred Equity Interests or any other interest in any Group Companies and (vi) any Contract, transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown and which occurred, existed or was taken or permitted at or prior to the Closing. Purchaser, for itself and the other Purchaser Parties, hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, distributing or causing to be commenced, any Proceeding of any kind against any Parent Parties, based on

62

any of the foregoing. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the other Purchaser Parties, expressly waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully waive, all rights pertaining to a general release of claims (including Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any provision of other state or federal Law), and affirms that it is releasing all known or unknown claims that it has or may have against any of the Parent Parties.

(b) Effective as of the Closing, subject in all cases to Parent’s rights under this Agreement (including with respect to Section 8.17), Parent, on behalf of the Parent Parties, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases, discharges, remises and acquits the Purchaser Parties, jointly and individually, of and from any and all Proceedings and claims, demands, obligations, causes of action or liabilities arising on or prior to Closing, out of or in any matter related to (i) the Parent Parties’ organization, management or operation of the Business or the Group Companies or their relationship with the Group Companies, in each case relating to any matter, occurrence, action or activity at or prior to the Closing, (ii) the Parent Parties’ direct or indirect ownership of the Transferred Equity Interests or any other interest in any Group Company, (iii) the termination of the Seller’s status as an equityholder of the Transferred Company as a result of the consummation of the Transactions, (iv) actions taken by the officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants and representatives of the Group Companies in connection with the negotiation, authorization, approval and recommendation of the terms of the Transactions, (v) any rights to revenue, stock, options or warrants of, or dividends or other distributions in respect of, any Transferred Equity Interests or any other interest in any Group Companies and (vi) any Contract, transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown and which occurred, existed or was taken or permitted at or prior to the Closing. Parent, for itself and the other Parent Parties, hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, distributing or causing to be commenced, any Proceeding of any kind against any Purchaser Parties, based on any of the foregoing. Parent, on behalf of itself and the other Parent Parties, expressly waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully waive, all rights pertaining to a general release of claims (including Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any provision of other state or federal Law), and affirms that it is releasing all known or unknown claims that it has or may have against any of the Purchaser Parties.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.21 shall release, waive, discharge, relinquish or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any party to the extent arising out of (i) this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Agreements or any other agreement entered into by a Parent Party or a Purchaser Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any matter between the Group Companies and any of their employees or advisors with respect to matters arising in connection with the management or operation of the Business that is unrelated to the Transactions (including under any employment agreement, non-competition agreement, co-investment, equity grant or other equity arrangement or Intellectual Property protection agreement), (iii) any matter arising in the ordinary course of business between a Parent Party and a Purchaser Party that is unrelated to both the Transactions and the ownership of the Business or any Group Company by any Parent Related Party or (iv) any claims with respect to Actual Fraud.

SECTION 5.22 Termination of Intercompany Arrangements. Effective as of the Closing, but subject to the occurrence of the Closing, (a) except for the Intercompany Accounts set forth on Section 5.22(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter and except as otherwise set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, the Brand Licensing Agreement or the Master RELAs, Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies), on the one hand, and the Group Companies, on the other hand, shall eliminate by payment, settlement, netting, capitalization, set off, cancellation, forgiving, release or otherwise any obligations or liabilities under the Intercompany Accounts between or among such parties, in each case, such that the Group Companies, on the one hand, and Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies), on the other hand, do not have any further liability to one another (and without any costs or other liabilities of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Group Companies)) in respect of such Intercompany Accounts following the Closing and (b) except for the Brand Licensing Agreement and any Contracts set forth on Section 5.22(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter and except as otherwise set forth in the Transition Services Agreement or the Master RELAs, the Affiliate Contracts shall be terminated in their entirety and shall be without further force or effect, without any further obligations or liabilities of Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies), on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Group Companies), on the other hand, following the Closing.

SECTION 5.23 Financing. (a) Purchaser shall use, and shall cause its Affiliates to use, reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions set forth in the Financing Letters, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect and comply with the Financing Letters, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements providing for the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions set forth in the Financing Letters (or on terms and conditions not materially less favorable to Purchaser as determined in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser than the terms and conditions set forth in the Financing Letters), (iii) satisfy (and cause its Affiliates to satisfy) on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Purchaser and its Affiliates in the Financing Letters and the definitive agreements providing for the Financing that are within the control of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, (iv) consummate the Financing substantially concurrently with, or prior to, the Closing, including using its (and causing its Affiliates to use) reasonable best efforts (which shall include taking all reasonable actions that are within its control) to cause the Lenders and the other Persons committed to fund the Financing to fund the Financing at the Closing, and (v) enforce its rights and remedies (including through taking all reasonable actions that are within its control) under the Financing Letters and the definitive agreements providing for the Financing. Except as set forth herein, Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, agree to or permit any termination of or amendment or modification to be made to, or grant any waiver of any provision under, the Financing Letters if such termination, amendment, modification or waiver would (A)(1) reduce (or would have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing or (2) reduce the amount of the Debt Financing, in either case unless the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount no later than the date of such termination, amendment, modification or waiver such that the aggregate amount of the Financing is sufficient to consummate the Transactions on the Closing Date (after taking into account the available cash of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and other binding commitments in favor of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries), including the payment of the

64

Purchase Price and all other amounts required to be paid by Purchaser in connection with the Transactions, (B) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the availability of the Financing or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the Financing, or otherwise expand, amend or modify any other provision of the Financing Letters in a manner that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent or make less likely to occur the funding of the Financing (or the satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the Closing Date in any material respect or (C) materially and adversely impact the ability of Purchaser to enforce its rights and remedies against any other party to any Financing Letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may amend any Debt Commitment Letter and Redacted Fee Letter to add lenders, purchasers, investors, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or other financing sources who had not executed such Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement and, in connection therewith, amend the additional lender, purchasers, investors, lead arrangers, bookrunners or syndication agents provisions with respect to the appointment of such additional lenders, purchasers, investors, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or other financing sources. Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Parent copies of any termination, amendment, modification or waiver to or under any Financing Letter. Purchaser will fully pay, or cause to be paid, all commitment and other fees under or arising pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter as and when they become due, earned and payable.

(b) Upon written reasonable request by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Purchaser shall keep Parent informed of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing and provide to Parent copies (including drafts) of the material definitive agreements providing for the Debt Financing. Purchaser shall give Parent prompt written notice of (i) any actual breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Letter of which Purchaser becomes aware, (ii) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing source with respect to any (A) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Letter of any provisions of the Financing Letters or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Financing Letter (but excluding any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Debt Financing), in each case, to the extent such breach, default, termination, repudiation, dispute or disagreement would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the funding of the Financing in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions on the Closing Date and (iii) the occurrence of an event or development that would reasonably be expected to adversely impact the ability of Purchaser to obtain all or any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Financing Letters on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by any Financing Letter (or if at any time for any other reason Purchaser believes that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Financing Letters on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by any Financing Letter). As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within two Business Days of the date Parent delivers to Purchaser a written request, Purchaser shall provide any information reasonably requested by Parent relating to any circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate or waive any attorney-client or other privilege, constitute attorney work product or violate or contravene any law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality (not created in contemplation hereof) binding on Purchaser. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, or if Purchaser becomes aware of any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to

65

make any portion of the Debt Financing unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, Purchaser shall (x) promptly notify Parent in writing and (y) use reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain in replacement thereof, and negotiate and enter into a debt commitment letter or definitive agreements providing for, alternative debt financing from alternative debt sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions (when taken together with the Equity Financing, the available cash of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and other binding commitments in favor of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries) on terms and conditions not materially less favorable to Purchaser (or its Affiliates) than the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event or circumstance (but no later than the date Purchaser is required to consummate the Closing in accordance with this Agreement); provided that the failure to obtain alternative debt financing shall not relieve Purchaser of any obligations hereunder. Purchaser shall deliver to Parent complete copies of the Debt Commitment Letter (giving effect to clause (2) of the immediately succeeding sentence) (including any Redacted Fee Letters) pursuant to which any such alternative debt source shall have committed to provide any portion of the alternative debt financing. For purposes of this Agreement, (1) references to the “Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Letters as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 5.23, (2) references to the “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include such documents as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 5.23 and (3) references to the “Debt Financing” shall include the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 5.23.

(c) Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall use, and shall cause the Group Companies to use, reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any attorney, accountant or other advisor, agent or other representative (collectively, “Representatives”) retained by Parent or any Group Company to provide, in each case at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, such cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, including, without limitation, (i) participating in a reasonable number of lender meetings and due diligence sessions in each case upon reasonable advance notice and at mutually agreeable dates, times and locations (and which may, at the reasonable election of Parent, be virtual or telephonic), including direct contact with such management with appropriate seniority and expertise with potential lenders and investors, (ii) furnishing Purchaser and its Debt Financing sources with the Financial Statements and to provide to Purchaser financial statements and other information regarding the Business reasonably requested by Purchaser, to the extent that such financial statements and information are readily available to Parent (such information described in this clause (ii), the “Required Information”), (iii) updating and correcting any Required Information provided by Parent or its Affiliates if Parent has knowledge that such Required Information provided by Parent (A) contains any material misstatement of fact, (iv) reasonably assisting Purchaser and its Debt Financing sources in the preparation of (A) one customary offering memorandum or information memorandum for any portion of the Debt Financing and (B) materials for rating agency presentations, in each case by providing such other pertinent information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in writing and to the extent such information is reasonably available to Parent, (v) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of Purchaser and its Debt Financing sources for any portion of the Debt Financing, (vi) to the extent required by the Debt Financing, providing customary assistance in connection with the preparation of (and, to the extent applicable, to execute and deliver, but only if the applicable director, manager, officer

66

or equivalent of Parent or any Group Company will continue in such position following the Closing or otherwise be appointed to such position at Closing) one or more definitive financing documentation and the schedules and exhibits thereto, in each case, customarily required to be delivered under such definitive financing documentation (including any investment company act diligence) so long as such agreements and documents do not become effective prior to the Closing, (vii) providing within four Business Days prior to the Closing Date documentation and other information about the Group Companies that is required in connection with the Debt Financing under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, in each case to the extent requested in writing at least nine Business Days in advance of the Closing Date, (viii) to the extent required by the Debt Financing, facilitating the pledging of collateral effective no earlier than Closing and (ix) obtaining and providing to Purchaser, at least three days prior to the Closing Date, customary Lien terminations and instruments of discharge (including UCC-3 terminations, Intellectual Property security agreement terminations and account control agreement terminations) to discharge on the Closing Date the Liens and guarantees of the Group Companies in connection with any Indebtedness of the Group Companies to be repaid, or other obligations to be released, at Closing in accordance with the terms hereof (it being understood that such documents will not take effect prior to Closing). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Section 5.23(c) shall require any such cooperation or assistance to the extent that it could result in Parent or any Group Company being required to (i)(A) in the case of Parent, pledge any assets as collateral securing the Debt Financing whether prior to, at or after the Closing and (B) in the case of any Group Company, pledge any assets as collateral securing the Debt Financing prior to the Closing, (ii) agree to pay any commitment or other similar fee, bear any cost or expense, incur any other liability or give any indemnities to any third party or otherwise commit to take any similar action in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Closing, (iii) take any actions to the extent such actions would, in Parent’s reasonable judgment, (A) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of Parent or the Group Companies, (B) subject any director, manager, officer or employee of Parent or any Group Company or their respective Affiliates to any actual or potential personal liability, (C) conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, the organizational documents of Parent or any Group Company, any applicable Law or Judgment or any material Contract to which Parent or any Group Company is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets is bound, (D) require any such entity to change any fiscal period or (E) cause (x) any representation or warranty set forth in Article II of this Agreement to be inaccurate or breached, (y) any closing condition set forth in Article VI of this Agreement to fail to be satisfied or (z) any other breach of this Agreement, (iv) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, (v) commit to take any action under any certificate, document or instrument that is not contingent upon the Closing, (vi) provide access to or disclose information that Parent reasonably determines would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality requirements applicable to, Parent, the Group Companies or their respective Affiliates, (vii) have its legal counsel provide any legal opinions or (viii) cause any director, manager or equivalent of Parent or any Group Company to pass resolutions to approve the Debt Financing or authorize the creation of any agreements, documents or actions in connection therewith (other than any director, manager or equivalent of Parent or any Group Company who will continue in such a position following the Closing or otherwise be appointed to such a position at Closing and the passing of such resolutions), in each case that are not contingent on the Closing or would be effective prior to the Closing.

67

(d) Purchaser shall be responsible for all fees and expenses related to the Financing contemplated hereby. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.05, Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Parent and each Group Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees of one firm of counsel of Parent) incurred by Parent or such Group Company in connection with their cooperation pursuant to Section 5.23(c) or otherwise in connection with the Financing. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent, each Group Company and their respective Affiliates and all of their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and Representatives from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith other than with respect to any Losses arising or attributed to the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Parent or its Affiliates in connection with the procurement of the Debt Financing by Purchaser or the material breach of this Agreement by Parent, Seller, the Group Companies or their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Group Company shall have any liability or obligation under any loan agreement or any related document or any other agreement or document related to the Financing or any alternative financing (other than as expressly assumed pursuant to the definitive documentation of the Financing).

(e) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Closing and the obligations of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not in any way contingent upon or otherwise subject to Purchaser’s consummation of any financing arrangement (including the Financing or any alternative financing), Purchaser’s obtaining of any financing (including the Financing or any alternative financing) or the availability, grant, provision or extension of any financing to Purchaser (including the Financing or any alternative financing). Parent hereby consents to the use of its name and logo in connection with the Financing; provided that the name and logo of Parent are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, nor reasonably likely to, harm or disparage Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 5.24 Insurance. (a) Subject to Section 5.24(b) and Section 5.24(c), Parent and Purchaser agree that the coverage under all insurance policies related to the Business and arranged or maintained by Parent or its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies) is only for the benefit of Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies), and not for the benefit of Purchaser or the Business. As of the Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to arrange for its own insurance policies with respect to the Business.

(b) From and after the Closing, with respect to any acts, events, facts, circumstances, matters, incidents, claims, omissions or occurrences involving the Group Companies, the Business and/or current or former Business Employees that are covered by any of Parent’s or its Affiliates’ insurance policies, excluding any Parent Insurance Policies (such policies, the “Available Insurance Policies” and such claims, the “Coverage Claims”), Purchaser, on behalf of the Group Companies, may access, submit claims, retain claims made prior to or after the Closing and seek coverage for such Coverage Claims under the Available Insurance Policies, subject to the terms and conditions of such Available Insurance Policies, and Parent

68

shall cooperate and cause its Affiliates to cooperate with Purchaser in submitting any such Coverage Claims on behalf of Purchaser under the Available Insurance Policies; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser and the Group Companies shall exclusively bear the amount of any “deductibles” associated with claims under such Available Insurance Policies and shall otherwise be liable for all uninsured or uncovered amounts of such claims, (ii) Purchaser and the Group Companies shall be solely responsible at their expense for notifying any and all insurance companies of such claims and complying with all policy terms and conditions for pursuit and collection of such claims and shall not, without the written consent of Parent, amend, modify or waive any rights of Parent or other insureds under any such insurance policies or programs, (iii) with respect to Coverage Claims or requests for benefits asserted by Purchaser or the Group Companies under the Available Insurance Policies, Parent shall have the right but not the duty to monitor such claims, and (iv) neither Purchaser nor the Group Companies shall assign any Available Insurance Policies or any rights or claims under the Available Insurance Policies to any other Person (except for any assignment by Purchaser that would be permitted under Section 8.02). Notwithstanding anything contained herein, (x) nothing in this Agreement shall limit, waive or abrogate in any manner any rights of Parent or its Affiliates to insurance coverage for any matter, whether relating to the Group Companies, the Business or otherwise, (y) nothing in this Section 5.24(b) shall affect Parent’s obligations with respect to the Excluded Liabilities and (z) subject to Section 5.24(c), Parent shall retain the exclusive right to control all of its insurance policies and programs, including the Available Insurance Policies, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and to amend, modify, terminate or waive any such insurance policies and programs or any rights thereunder; provided that Purchaser and the Group Companies shall use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Parent with respect to Coverage Claims and sharing such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit Parent to manage and conduct its insurance matters as Parent reasonably deems appropriate.

(c) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, keep the insurance policies maintained by Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement covering the Group Companies, the Business and/or the current or former Business Employees with respect to workers compensation, automobile and general liability, or suitable replacements therefor (such policies, the “Parent Insurance Policies”), in full force and effect through the close of business on the Closing Date. From and after the Closing, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) from and against any and all Losses with respect to any acts, events, facts, circumstances, matters, incidents, claims, omissions or occurrences involving the Group Companies, the Business and/or current or former Business Employees that occurred on or prior to the Closing Date underlying a Parent Claim (a Parent Claim under an automobile or workers compensation insurance policy, an “Automobile or Workers Compensation Claim” and a Parent Claim under a general liability insurance policy, a “General Liability Insurance Claim”); provided, that Parent’s liability with respect to any General Liability Insurance Claim shall not exceed the amount of the deductible or self-insured retention amount with respect to such General Liability Insurance Claim plus the amount actually recovered by Parent under the applicable Parent Insurance Policy (the “General Liability Insurance Cap”); provided, further, that Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, reduce the limit of liability with respect to General Liability Insurance Claims under any Parent Insurance Policy that is a general liability insurance policy. From and after the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to administer and seek

69

recovery for any and all Automobile or Workers Compensation Claims and General Liability Insurance Claims in accordance with its usual and customary practice (it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that the risk of collectability under the Parent Insurance Policies with respect any Automobile or Workers Compensation Claim or General Liability Insurance Claim shall be borne solely by Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies)). If, after the Closing Date, Purchaser or the Group Companies become aware of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a Parent Claim, Purchaser shall notify Parent of such facts as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days of the time that Purchaser or such Group Company so becomes aware; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent Parent shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Parent shall have the right to manage and control any and all Parent Claims, and shall be subrogated to all claims or rights of recovery that any of the Group Companies may have against third parties with respect to claims and losses in respect of the Parent Claims to the extent of any payments made by Parent in respect thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) this Section 5.24(c) is only intended to address the treatment of Losses with respect to Automobile or Workers Compensation Claims and General Liability Insurance Claims and is not intended to otherwise affect the allocation of any other liabilities hereunder with respect to acts, events, facts, circumstances, matters, incidents, claims, omissions or occurrences that occurred prior to the Closing Date and (y) Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Group Companies) shall be solely responsible for any and all Losses with respect to any acts, events, facts, circumstances, matters, incidents, claims, omissions or occurrences involving the Group Companies, the Business and/or current or former Business Employees that occurred after the Closing Date, regardless of whether such acts, events, facts, circumstances, matters, incidents, claims, omissions or occurrences would have given rise to an Automobile or Workers Compensation Claim or a General Liability Insurance Claim had they occurred prior to the Closing Date. The indemnification procedures set forth in Section 8.18 shall apply to any indemnification provided for under this Section 5.24(c), mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 5.25 Purchaser Expenditure; Distributions. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing, Purchaser shall not expend funds other than in connection with the Transactions and the payment of related expenses and shall not declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution to its equityholders.

SECTION 5.26 Other Investors. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of Parent, Purchaser shall not permit or agree to permit any Person to obtain any shares of capital stock or other Equity Interests of (or rights to obtain any capital stock or other Equity Interests of) Purchaser.

SECTION 5.27 Master RELAs. Prior to the Closing, Parent and Purchaser shall each use its reasonable best efforts to work in good faith with the other party to negotiate and finalize the exhibits to the Master RELAs in order to document the post-Closing space sharing arrangements for the applicable premises subject thereto.

The Group Companies may not assign their rights under this Section 5.28(a)(i) without the prior written consent of Parent (which may be withheld or delayed in Parent’s sole discretion), except that the Group Company may assign such licenses, together with any related obligations, with prior written notice to Parent (but not such prior written consent), (i) in whole to an acquiror in connection with any assignment, sale, merger, or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Business or (ii) in part to an acquiror in connection with any assignment, sale, merger, or other transfer of the whole of any product or service line of the Group Companies forming part of the Business (regardless of the form of transaction or series of related transactions); provided that, in case of clause (ii), the field of such license shall be limited to the specific product or service line that was acquired by the acquiror and natural extensions thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any licensee of the Parent Licensed IP or Licensed TSA IP shall not retain any rights that it assigns pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Following the Closing Date, upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, to the extent not already in the possession of the Group Companies, deliver to the Purchaser, to the extent reasonably practicable and at Purchaser’s sole expense, in the same format as maintained as of the Closing Date by Parent and its respective Affiliates copies of any embodiments in existence as of the Closing of the Parent Licensed IP or Licensed TSA IP to the extent so requested by Purchaser; provided that Parent and its respective Affiliates shall not be required to provide embodiments of any Software constituting Specified Licensed TSA IP.

Parent may not assign its rights under this Section 5.28(a)(ii) without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which may be withheld or delayed in Purchaser’s sole discretion), except that the Parent Licensees may assign such licenses, together with any related obligations, with prior written notice to Purchaser (but not such prior written consent), (i) in whole to an acquiror in connection with any assignment, sale, merger, or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Parent Business or (ii) in part to an acquiror in connection with any assignment, sale, merger, or other transfer of the whole of any product or service line of Parent forming part of the Parent Business (regardless of the form of transaction or series of related transactions); provided that, in case of clause (ii), the field of such license shall be limited to the specific product or service line that was acquired by the acquiror and natural extensions thereof.

The parties hereto, in their

72

capacity as licensee of the Licensed TSA IP and the Licensed Software, as applicable, (a) may only disclose the source code contained therein on a “need to know basis” and before doing so must ensure that those Persons are aware of the confidential nature of the source code underlying the Software and are bound by confidentiality obligations and (b) shall be responsible to the licensor for any breach of such confidentiality obligations by any Person to whom it discloses such licensed Intellectual Property.

84

circumstances where such fee is payable in accordance with Section 7.03(a). Following a termination of this Agreement, none of the Purchaser Related Parties or Lender Related Parties shall have any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever to Parent or any other Parent Related Party for any Transaction-Related Matter other than the payment of the Termination Fee to Parent to the extent payable pursuant to Section 7.03(b) and the Collection Costs to the extent payable pursuant to Section 7.03(b). Upon payment of the Termination Fee to Parent pursuant to Section 7.03(a) following a termination of this Agreement by Parent (solely to the extent payable in accordance herewith), no Parent Related Party shall be entitled to bring, and Parent shall cause all Parent Related Parties to not bring, and shall in no event support, facilitate, encourage or take any action other than opposing, the bringing of, any Proceeding against any Purchaser Related Party or Lender Related Party with respect to, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any Transaction-Related Matter or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Agreements and Parent shall cause any then pending Proceeding by any Parent Related Party against any such Purchaser Related Party or Lender Related Party to be dismissed with prejudice as promptly as practicable after such termination (and in no event later than three days following such termination). Further, following termination of this Agreement, under no circumstances shall (i) the maximum aggregate liability of Purchaser (and the Guarantors in accordance with, and subject to the limitations in, the Guarantee) for all Transaction-Related Matters exceed an amount equal to the sum of the Termination Fee, plus any Collection Costs (collectively, the “Cap”) or (ii) any Parent Related Party be entitled to recover any recovery or award or damages of any kind in excess of the Cap (including damages for the loss of the benefit of the bargain, opportunity cost, loss of premium, time value of money or otherwise, or any consequential, special, expectancy, indirect or punitive damages). While Parent may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 8.05 and the payment of the Termination Fee under Section 7.03(a), under no circumstances shall any Person or Persons (whether acting together or separately and whether in one or separate Proceedings), including any Parent Related Party, be permitted or entitled to receive both (i) a grant of specific performance to require the Equity Financing to be funded or that results in a Closing and (ii) the payment of the Termination Fee.

(d) This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Purchaser Related Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs and legal representatives. The parties agree that the Purchaser Related Parties are express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.03.

SECTION 8.05 Right to Specific Performance. (a) Subject to Section 8.05(b), the parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, subject to Section 8.05(b), the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 8.11, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at Law or in equity. Subject to Section 8.05(b), the right to specific enforcement shall include the right of Parent to cause Purchaser to cause the Transactions to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Subject to Section 8.05(b), the parties hereto further agree (a) to cooperate fully in any attempt by the other party to obtain any such equitable remedy, (b) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, (c) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable Law or inequitable for any reason, or to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy, and (d) that the provisions set forth in Section 7.03 are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement and shall not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect Parent’s right to specific enforcement (other than in respect of Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing, which obligation shall be terminated upon the termination of this Agreement). The parties acknowledge and agree that the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right the parties hereto would not have entered into this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that Parent shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to cause the Equity Financing to be funded on the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter if and only if (and only for so long as) each of the following is satisfied: (i) this Agreement has not been terminated or Purchaser is not entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(iii), (ii) all conditions set forth in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02 have been satisfied (other than those conditions which by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing, but provided that such conditions shall then be capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to take place at the time provided by Section 1.02) or waived at the time when the Closing would have occurred pursuant to Section 1.02, but for the failure of the Equity Financing to be funded, (iii) Purchaser fails to consummate the Closing at the time provided by Section 1.02, (iv) the Debt Financing (including any alternative financing that has been obtained in accordance with Section 5.23(d)) has been funded in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter or will be so funded in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing and (v) Parent has irrevocably confirmed by written notice to Purchaser that, if the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, Parent would take such actions required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur; provided, that under no circumstances shall Parent (collectively with all other Parent Related Parties) be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in the Closing occurring pursuant to this Section 8.05(b) and the payment of all or any portion of the Termination Fee; provided further that Parent’s termination of this Agreement triggering Parent’s right to receive the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.03 or its acceptance of all or any portion of the Termination Fee shall terminate any right of Parent (on behalf of the Seller) to injunctive relief or specific performance hereunder to cause the Closing to occur. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) in no event will Purchaser be obligated to consummate the Closing following the Outside Date and (ii) it is understood and agreed by the parties that only Parent (and not any of the other Parent Related Parties) may exercise the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 8.05(b).

89

representation or warranty proves to be incorrect or is breached, the fact that another representation or warranty concerning the same or similar subject matter is correct or is not breached, whether such other representation or warranty is more general or more specific, narrower or broader or otherwise, will not affect the incorrectness or breach of such particular representation or warranty.

SECTION 8.18 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims. In order for a Person (the “indemnified party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 8.17 in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any third Person against the indemnified party (including any applicable Taxes becoming due and payable to a Governmental Entity) (a “Third Party Claim”), such indemnified party must notify the party required to provide indemnification therefor (the “indemnifying party”) in writing (and in reasonable detail) of the Third Party Claim within 10 Business Days after receipt by such indemnified party of notice of the Third Party Claim or in the case of Escheat Liabilities that are first due and payable to a Governmental Entity after the Closing, within 10 Business Days after an applicable Tax Return is filed with a Governmental Entity; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, within five Business Days after the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) Assumption. If a Third Party Claim is made against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided that the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) such Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal action, (ii) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the indemnified party, (iii) such Third Party Claim relates to Taxes, or (iv) upon petition by the indemnified party, the appropriate court rules that the indemnifying party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim. Should the indemnifying party so elect in writing to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense. The indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the indemnified party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.18(a)). If the indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the indemnified parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such reasonable

117

cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnifying party’s request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to testify and provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, provided, however, that the indemnified parties shall not be required to provide such access if the applicable indemnified party determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so could jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or other legal privilege (it being understood that the indemnified parties shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such access in a manner that does not jeopardize any such privilege or protection). Whether or not the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement, compromise or discharge releases the indemnifying party completely and irrevocably and would not result in (i) injunctive or other nonmonetary relief against the indemnifying party (other than customary confidentiality obligations), including the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the indemnifying party or (ii) a finding or admission of fault, guilt or misconduct by the indemnifying party or any of its Affiliates. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim and which releases the indemnified party completely and irrevocably in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, without prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim on a basis that would result in (i) injunctive or other nonmonetary relief against the indemnified party (other than customary confidentiality obligations), including the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the indemnified party or (ii) a finding or admission of fault, guilt or misconduct by the indemnified party or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be precluded from filing any Tax Returns in respect of Escheat Liabilities that are due after the Closing Date and paying the Escheat Liabilities reported thereon to the applicable Governmental Entities.

(c) Other Claims. In the event any indemnified party should have a claim against any indemnifying party under Section 8.17 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against, imposed on or sought to be collected from such indemnified party, the indemnified party shall promptly deliver written notice of such claim (describing such claim in reasonable detail) to the indemnifying party; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. If the indemnifying party does not notify the indemnified party within 30 calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the indemnifying party disputes its liability to the indemnified party under Section 8.17, such claim specified by the indemnified party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the indemnifying party under Section 8.17 and the indemnifying party shall pay the amount of such liability to the indemnified party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.
