(b) Until Parent or its Affiliates completes its audited consolidated financial statements for the first complete fiscal year after the Closing Date (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards as required by applicable Law for Parent or its Affiliates to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit for any period during which the financial results of Parent or its Affiliates were consolidated with those of the Transferred Group Members), Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith with and assist Parent or its Affiliates to meet its timetable for preparation of its financial statements and to enable and assist Parent or its Affiliates’ auditors to timely complete their annual audit and quarterly reviews of financial statements if such financial statements include, or such audit or review includes an audit or review of, financial information for the Rome Business for any pre-Closing period. As part of such efforts, to the extent reasonably necessary for the preparation of financial statements or completing an audit or review of financial statements or an audit of internal control over

47

financial reporting, (i) Purchaser shall authorize and direct its auditors to make available to Parent or its Affiliates’ auditors, within a reasonable time prior to the date of Purchaser’s auditors’ opinion or review report, both (A) the personnel who performed or will perform the annual audits and quarterly reviews of the Transferred Group Members and (B) work papers to the extent related to such annual audits and quarterly reviews, to enable and assist Parent and its Affiliates’ auditors to perform any procedures they consider reasonably necessary to take responsibility for the work of Purchaser’s auditors as it relates to Parent and its Affiliates’ auditors’ opinion or report and (ii) until all audits are complete, Purchaser shall provide reasonable access during normal business hours for Parent or its Affiliates’ auditors, internal auditors, counsel and other designated Representatives to (A) the premises of the Transferred Group Members and all information (and duplicating rights) within the knowledge, possession or control of the Transferred Group Members and (B) the officers and employees of the Transferred Group Members, so that Parent and its Affiliates may conduct reasonable audits relating to the financial statements provided by the Transferred Group Members; provided, however, that such access shall not be unreasonably disruptive to the business and affairs of the Transferred Group Members. In addition, Purchaser shall afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal working hours, to books, records and employees of the Transferred Group Members (and shall permit such Persons to examine and copy such books and records to the extent reasonably requested and shall provide Parent and its Representatives with information) for compliance with any obligation under applicable Law.

(c) After the Closing Date, Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly (and in any event within 30 days after the Closing Date) (i) transfer to a Transferred Group Member all Rome Records stored in tangible form in the possession of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary (including any such Rome Records held in storage by a third party) and (ii) transfer to Parent or a Parent Subsidiary all Records that constitute Non-Rome Assets stored in tangible form in the possession of a Transferred Group Member other than a Rome Group Member (including any such Records held in storage by a third party), in each case at Purchaser’s expense. Parent shall be entitled to retain copies of the Rome Records transferred to the Transferred Group Members pursuant to this Section 8.01(c).

(d) After the Closing Date, except in the case of an Action by one party against another party, each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to each other party hereto, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees and other Representatives of the Rome Business as witnesses, to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees and other Representatives) may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved. The requesting party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(e) After the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Purchaser Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly (and in any event within 30 days after the Closing Date) remove, erase, delete or otherwise destroy all Parent information (whether in print, electronic or other forms) in the possession of any Rome Employee that does not constitute a Rome Asset.

48

(f) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to migrate any financial data for the purposes of its and its Affiliates’ financial reporting prior to the Closing. To the extent that such migration has not been completed prior to the Closing, then, without limiting any other rights of Parent in this Section 8.01, Purchaser shall cause the Transferred Group Members to provide Parent and its Representatives with reasonable support for such migration for 30 Business Days following the Closing Date.

(g) Without limiting the rights of Parent in this Section 8.01, and to the extent not completed by the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Transferred Group Members to provide Parent and its Representatives with such information as has been historically provided by the Transferred Group Members for the preparation of the financial statements or consolidated financial statements of Parent for the first fiscal year or half year ending after the Closing Date, as well as any stub period through the Closing Date (as applicable) by the applicable reporting deadline set forth in Section 8.01(g) of the Seller Disclosure Letter.

(h) All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 8.01 (or, in the case of Section 8.01(c), retained by Parent) shall be held by the parties hereto as “Confidential Information”, as such term is defined in the confidentiality agreement, dated as of April 27, 2021, between Parent and Purchaser (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), and shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

SECTION 8.02. Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties hereto in doing, all things necessary or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Law to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Transactions, including (i) obtaining all necessary or advisable Governmental Approvals, and making all necessary or advisable registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Entities, if any) and taking all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an Action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity, (ii) obtaining all necessary or advisable Consents, and (iii) executing and delivering any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of the Transaction Documents. Nothing in this Section 8.02 shall require any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Subsidiaries to pay any material consideration to any third party from whom any Consent is requested.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 8.02(a), each of the parties hereto shall (i) file, or cause to be filed, as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within five Business Days, after the date hereof all notification and report forms that may be required under the HSR Act or other antitrust, competition or pre-merger notification, trade regulation Law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction (collectively, “Review Laws”) with respect to the Transactions and (ii) supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by any Governmental Entity pursuant to the HSR Act or any other applicable Review Law. Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing and making any filings required under any non-U.S. jurisdiction Review Laws, unless and to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law, and Parent shall cause the Sellers to provide to Purchaser such information and assistance as Purchaser may reasonably require in order to prepare and make such filings.

49

(c) Each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with, or any investigation or other inquiry by or before, a Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions, and each of the parties hereto shall keep the other parties hereto reasonably informed of its progress in obtaining any necessary or advisable Governmental Approvals in connection with the Transactions. Subject to applicable Law, and to the extent reasonably practicable, each of the parties hereto shall consult with the other parties hereto in advance with respect to any written materials submitted to any Governmental Entity, and, to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Entity and to the extent reasonably practicable, shall give the other parties hereto the opportunity to attend and participate in any substantive meetings and conferences with Governmental Entities, in each case in connection with the matters contemplated by this Section 8.02. None of the parties hereto shall voluntarily extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Review Law or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity to delay or not to consummate the Transactions except with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

(d) Nothing in this Section 8.02 or otherwise in this Agreement shall require Purchaser to propose, negotiate, effect or agree to the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any assets or businesses of Purchaser or otherwise take any action that limits the freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain any of the businesses, product lines, or assets of Purchaser or the Transferred Group Members.

(e) All filing fees and other amounts payable in connection with any filing made pursuant to the HSR Act and the other Review Laws, shall be borne by Purchaser.

SECTION 8.03. Employee Matters.

(a) Offers of Employment. In the event the employment of a Rome Employee who is employed in Australia or Singapore does not transfer to Purchaser and the Purchaser Subsidiaries upon the occurrence of the Closing by operation of Law, not less than ten Business Days prior to the Closing, Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will offer employment, effective as of the Closing, to such Rome Employee in accordance with this Section 8.03. In any jurisdiction where the employment of a Rome Employee cannot transfer to Purchaser and its Subsidiaries upon the occurrence of the Closing by operation of Law (which, for the purposes of clarity, solely includes Australia and Singapore), Purchaser and UK Seller agree to take, or cause their respective Subsidiaries to take, all actions required under applicable Law and all other actions as are necessary or appropriate such that the employment of such Rome Employee will transfer to Purchaser or its Subsidiaries without any action on the part of such Rome Employee as of the Closing Date.

(b) Employee Benefit Plan Transfers. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Group Members), to transfer the sponsorship of each Employee Benefit Plan set forth on Section 8.03(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, together with all liabilities associated therewith (each, a “Transferred Benefit Plan”) to Parent or one of its Subsidiaries other than the Transferred Group Members.

50

(c) Prior Service Credit. For purposes of eligibility, vesting, future vacation entitlement, severance, and all other benefit entitlements (but not benefit accrual under defined benefit plans) under any Employee Benefit Plan provided, maintained or contributed to by Purchaser or any Purchaser Subsidiary (including the Transferred Entities) in which Rome Employees are eligible to participate (each, a “Purchaser Benefit Plan”), each Rome Employee shall be credited with all years of service for which such Rome Employee was credited before the Closing Date.

(d) Continuation of Compensation and Benefits. For the one-year period immediately following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Purchaser Subsidiaries to, provide to each Rome Employee (i) annual base salary or base hourly compensation, cash incentive compensation opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation) and severance, in each case, that are no less favorable than such annual base salary or base hourly compensation, cash incentive compensation opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation) and severance provided to such Rome Employee immediately prior to the Closing (except that severance benefits provided by Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiaries shall be calculated, to the extent service is applicable, based on service after the such Rome Employee’s most recent hire date) and (ii) other employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to such Rome Employee under a Rome Group Employee Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and the Purchaser Subsidiaries may harmonize cash incentive compensation opportunities for any Rome Employee with those of similarly situated employees of Purchaser by providing a corresponding increase in annual base salary or base hourly compensation.

(e) Certain Welfare Benefits Matters. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts (i) for purposes of each Purchaser Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Rome Employee, to cause pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Purchaser Benefit Plan to be waived for such Rome Employee and his or her covered dependents; and (ii) to cause any eligible expenses incurred by each Rome Employee and his or her covered dependents under a Rome Group Employee Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan that is a medical plan in the U.S. during the portion of the plan year of the Rome Group Employee Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan ending on the date such Rome Employee’s participation in the corresponding Purchaser Benefit Plan begins to be taken into account under the corresponding Purchaser Benefit Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible requirements applicable to such Rome Employee and his or her covered dependents for such year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Purchaser Benefit Plan, to the extent Parent provides Purchaser or, at Purchaser’s written direction, a third party administrator or insurer of the relevant Purchaser Benefit Plan true and correct information requested by Parent in order to determine the amount accrued toward deductibles under the relevant Rome Group Employee Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan within 10 Business Days after the Closing and again no later than February 15, 2022, in each such case with respect to the plan year in which the Closing occurs. For the sake of clarity, Purchaser shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to credit expenses toward deductible requirements under

51

this Section 8.03(e) with respect to amounts reported to Parent or its third party administrators or insurers as satisfying the relevant deductible under the relevant Rome Group Employee Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan as of January 31, 2022 (e.g., if a claim that otherwise would count toward the relevant deductible under the relevant Rome Group Employee Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan is approved by the relevant Rome Group Employee Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan after January 31, 2022 or reported to Parent or its third party administrators or insurers after February 15, 2022, Purchaser shall have no obligation to credit any amount with respect to such claim to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying any deductible requirements).

(f) Tax – Qualified Savings /401(k) Plan.

(i) As soon as reasonably possible following the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Purchaser Subsidiaries to, have in effect one or more defined contribution plans that is intended to include a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (and a related trust intended to be exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code) (a “New 401(k) Plan”). Each Rome Employee participating in a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code sponsored by Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing (each, a “Parent 401(k) Plan”) shall become a participant in the corresponding New 401(k) Plan as soon as practicable after the Closing, subject to continued employment with Purchaser or a Purchaser Subsidiary.

(ii) As of no later than the Closing, Parent shall or shall cause its Subsidiaries to fully vest the account balances of each Rome Employee in any Parent 401(k) Plan in which any such Rome Employee has an account balance.

(iii) Where applicable, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the applicable Purchaser Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a New 401(k) Plan to accept a “direct rollover” to such New 401(k) Plan of the account balances of each Rome Employee (including promissory notes evidencing all outstanding loans) under a Parent 401(k) Plan, if such direct rollover is elected in accordance with applicable Law and the terms of the Parent 401(k) Plan by such Rome Employee.

(g) The provisions of this Section 8.03 are solely for the benefit of the parties hereto, and shall not confer upon any Person any third-party beneficiary rights. Nothing contained in this Section 8.03, whether express or implied: (i) shall be treated as establishing, amending or modifying for any purpose any Employee Benefit Plan or Purchaser Benefit Plan; (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of any party hereto or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them; or (iii) shall confer upon any current or former employee of any Transferred Group Member or any other Person any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment.

52

SECTION 8.04. Director Resignations. On the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser duly signed resignations, effective as of the Closing, from (a) each member of the Board of Directors of each Transferred Entity and (b) each member of the Board of Directors or other governing body of any Transferred Group Member who is not a Rome Employee.

SECTION 8.05. Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification; Liability Insurance.

(a) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Transferred Group Members to indemnify and hold harmless, and provide advancement of expenses to, all directors or officers of the Transferred Group Members as of the date hereof and each individual who prior to the Closing becomes a director or officer of a Transferred Group Member (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Persons”), to the maximum extent that the applicable Transferred Group Member would have been allowed to do so under applicable Law and such Transferred Group Member’s Organizational Documents, in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing, including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with any of the Transaction Documents or the Transactions.

(b) At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall obtain or maintain and fully pay for an irrevocable “tail” insurance policy (or enhancements or amendments to an existing insurance policy) naming the D&O Indemnified Persons as insured persons, with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Closing Date with respect to all losses, claims, damages, judgments or amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, Action, suit or proceeding based on or arising out of or relating to the fact that such D&O Indemnified Person is or was a director or officer of a Transferred Group Member and arising out of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing (including this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby), and subject to market-standard terms and exclusions.

SECTION 8.06. Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses.

SECTION 8.07. Public Announcements. Parent, UK Seller and the Transferred US Entity, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall consult with each other and shall mutually agree upon any press release or other public statements with respect to the Transactions (a “Public Transaction Statement”), and shall not issue any such Public Transaction Statement prior to such consultation and agreement, other than any Public Transaction Statement that only contains information and statements regarding the Transactions that are consistent with those that have been previously approved for disclosure by the parties hereto pursuant to this Section 8.07; provided that any party hereto may issue a Public Transaction Statement without such prior agreement if and only to the extent required by (a) applicable Law (but excluding any fiduciary duty of any director of Parent, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates), (b) court process, (c) the Listing Rules, the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers or the Market Abuse Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 596/2014) or (d) any other applicable rule or regulation of the FCA or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange, in which case the party hereto proposing to issue such Public Transaction Statement shall, except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law, consult in good faith with the other parties hereto before issuing any such Public Transaction Statement. Parent and Purchaser shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Group Members) who are not parties to this Agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.07.

53

SECTION 8.08. Shared Contracts. Except with respect to any Shared Contract that relates to services to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement, Parent and Purchaser shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to separate any Shared Contracts into separate contracts so that the applicable Transferred Group Member will be entitled to the rights and benefits, and shall be subject to the Liabilities, with respect to or arising from each Shared Contract to the extent related to the Rome Business and Parent or a Parent Subsidiary (other than the Transferred Group Members) will retain the rights and benefits, and shall be subject to the Liabilities, with respect to or arising from each Shared Contract to the extent related to the Retained Businesses. If a counterparty to any Shared Contract that is entitled under the terms of the Shared Contract to consent to the separation of the Shared Contract has not provided such consent or if the separation of a Shared Contract has not been completed as of the Closing for any other reason, then Parent and Purchaser shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to develop and implement mutually acceptable arrangements (including subcontracting, sublicensing, subleasing or back-to-back agreement) to pass along to the applicable Transferred Group Member the benefit and the Liabilities of the portion of any such Shared Contract related to the Rome Business and to pass along to Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary (other than the Transferred Group Members), the benefit and the Liabilities of the portion of the Shared Contract related to the Retained Businesses, as the case may be. If and when any such consent is obtained, the Shared Contract will be separated in accordance with this Section 8.08.

SECTION 8.09. Exclusivity. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the earlier to occur of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article X, Parent will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries and the Transferred Group Members, and each and all of their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate or propose or knowingly induce, encourage, facilitate or respond to any inquiries, indications of interest, proposals or offers with respect to any Person (other than Parent and its Representatives) relating to any Competing Transaction or (b) participate in or enter into discussions or negotiations regarding, or knowingly furnish or disclose any information to any Person in connection with, or otherwise knowingly cooperate in any manner with, or assist or participate in, or knowingly facilitate or encourage (including through approving, adopting, endorsing or recommending any Competing Transaction), any effort or attempt by any Person to pursue or effect a Competing Transaction, and neither Parent nor any Subsidiary of Parent shall enter into any letter of intent, purchase agreement, merger agreement or other similar agreement with any Person with respect to a Competing Transaction. Purchaser shall immediately cease and terminate, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates and each of the Representatives of the foregoing, to cease and terminate, any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Competing Transaction. Parent shall, upon the written request of Purchaser and to the extent not previously performed prior to the date hereof, instruct each Parent Subsidiary which has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement relating to a Competing Transaction to promptly return or destroy all information, documents and materials relating to the Competing Transaction or to the Rome Business heretofore furnished to such Person or any of its representatives to the extent required pursuant to the terms of any confidentiality agreement with such Person.

(c) any discontinuance, suspension or modification by Purchaser or any Purchaser Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates on or after the Closing Date of any Employee Benefit Plan, including any Rome Group Employee Benefit Plan.

61

SECTION 11.05. Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Procedures Relating to Indemnification of Third Party Claims. If any party hereto (the “Indemnified Party”) receives written notice of the commencement of any Action or the assertion of any claim by a third party or the imposition of any penalty or assessment for which indemnity may be sought under Section 11.03 or 11.04 (a “Third Party Claim”), and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article XI, the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) with written notice of such Third Party Claim, stating the nature, basis and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the relevant documents evidencing such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification sought. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except if and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance herewith, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall actively pursue such defense in good faith, (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense (except as contemplated by the following sentence) and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party and (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall not (A) admit to any wrongdoing or (B) consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent such judgment or settlement provides for (x) relief other than money damages or (y) money damages if the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged in writing that it shall be responsible for such money damages, in the case each of clauses (A) and (B), without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event that the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party reasonably agree that a conflict of interest exists in respect of a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party in the defense of the Third Party Claim, and the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief other than monetary damages against the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for monetary damages. Each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Losses from Third Party Claims and shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The parties hereto shall also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

(b) Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. The Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing promptly of its discovery of any matter that does not involve a Third Party Claim giving rise to the claim of indemnity pursuant hereto. The failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced

62

thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from receipt of any such notice to give notice of dispute of the claim to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters.

(c) Tax Proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Third Party Claims that are Tax Proceedings shall not be subject to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and shall be subject to the provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement.

SECTION 11.06. Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Parent, UK Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, except as expressly set forth in Section 1.02, Parent’s, UK Seller’s, the Transferred US Entity’s and Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to Article I or II, the Rome Business, the Rome Assets, the Non-Rome Assets, the Rome Liabilities, the Non-Rome Liabilities or the Pre-Closing Transfers shall be pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Article XI. This Section 11.06 will not apply to any breach following the Closing of any covenant or agreement contained in (a) this Agreement, (b) the Transition Services Agreement, or (c) the Tax Matters Agreement.

SECTION 11.07. Calculation of Indemnity Payments. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article XI shall be net of (i) any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss and (ii) any cash tax benefit derived by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Loss, to the extent the benefit is actually realized in the taxable year in which the Loss is incurred (calculated on a “with-and-without” basis). If an Indemnified Party recovers any such amount or derives any such benefit after receiving the applicable indemnity payment, it shall repay to the Indemnifying Party such indemnity payment up to the amount of such recovery or benefit.

SECTION 11.08. Additional Limitations on Liability.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent and UK Seller shall not be required to provide indemnification with respect to any Losses under Section 11.03(d) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses in respect of indemnification claims under Section 11.03(d) exceeds $1,825,000 (the “Specified Retention Amount”), at which point, Parent and UK Seller shall be required to provide indemnification in respect of all such Losses in excess of the Specified Retention Amount.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Indian SPA, (i) the aggregate Liability of Parent and UK Seller and any of their respective Subsidiaries in respect of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article V or VI or the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.03(d) shall not in any circumstances exceed $1.00 and (ii) the aggregate Liability of Indian Seller and any of its Affiliates in respect of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Clause 5 of the Indian SPA shall not in any circumstances exceed $1.00.

63

SECTION 11.09. Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Parent, UK Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any payments made pursuant to this Article XI as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all applicable Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or pursuant to a Final Determination.

SECTION 11.10. Additional Matters. In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for special, punitive or exemplary damages, or lost profits, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Law or otherwise, except to the extent that such damages are actually payable by the Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim.

SECTION 11.11. The Specified Matter. Following the Closing, Parent shall have the right to direct the control of the treatment and disposition of the Specified Matter, including any negotiations or discussions with the third party counterparty and any settlement or compromise with respect thereto. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall take any actions which would prejudice Parent’s rights pursuant to the foregoing sentence, including engaging with the third party counterparty or its Affiliates with respect to the Specified Matter, without Parent’s prior written consent.

If any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any statement in this Agreement to the effect that any information, document or other material has been “made available” or “provided” by Parent, Sellers or the Parent Subsidiaries shall mean such information, document or material was sent, delivered or otherwise provided to Purchaser or was available to Purchaser prior to the execution of this Agreement in the online data room hosted by Intralinks.

(b) Any matter disclosed in any section of any Disclosure Letter shall qualify the correspondingly numbered representation and warranty or covenant and any other representation and warranty or covenant, respectively, of Parent, UK Seller or the Transferred US Entity to the extent that the relevance of any such disclosure to such other representation and warranty or covenant is reasonably apparent. The inclusion or omission of any specific items in any Disclosure Letter is not intended to imply that the items so included or omitted are or are not material, and the fact of the inclusion or omission of any such items may not be used by any party hereto in any dispute between the parties hereto as to whether any obligation, item or matter included or not included in such Disclosure Letter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.05. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

SECTION 12.06. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto (including by electronic .pdf submission).

SECTION 12.07. Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries; No Other Representations or Warranties.

(a) The Transaction Documents, taken together with the Disclosure Letters, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the Transactions and are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, following the Closing, the provisions of Section 8.05 and the provisions of Section 12.13 shall be enforceable by the specified beneficiaries thereof. Notwithstanding this Section 12.07(a), following the Indian Closing, the Indian Seller and the Indian Purchaser shall be third party beneficiaries of Section 12.01. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement (including the Disclosure Letters), on the one hand, and the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including the schedules and exhibits thereto), on the other hand, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Articles V and VI, neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary nor any other Person makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to Parent, the Parent Subsidiaries, the Transferred Entities, the Transferred Group Members, the Non-Rome Assets, the Non-Rome Liabilities, the Rome Business or the Retained Businesses or with respect to any information furnished, disclosed or otherwise made available to Purchaser or any of its Representatives in the course of its due diligence investigation of the Rome Business and the negotiation of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Transactions. Except pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, neither Parent nor any other Person shall be subject to any Liability or responsibility whatsoever to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective stockholders, controlling persons or Representatives on any basis (including in contract or tort, under securities Laws or otherwise) resulting from or based upon Parent’s furnishing, disclosing or otherwise making available any information, documents or material in any form to Purchaser or its Affiliates, stockholders, controlling persons or Representatives, including in any data room or management presentations (formal or informal) and including any financial statements and any projections, forecasts, budgets, estimates or other forward-looking information, or the use of any such information.

84

(c) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying on any statement or information provided by Parent or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives or on any representation or warranty other than those representations and warranties expressly set forth in Articles V and VI. Purchaser acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation of the financial condition, liabilities, results of operation and projected operations of the Rome Business and, in making the determination to proceed with the Transactions, has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation and the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Articles V and VI.

SECTION 12.08. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

SECTION 12.09. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 12.10. Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of any Transaction Document were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of any Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of each Transaction Document in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction, any state or Federal court within the State of Delaware), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

SECTION 12.11. Jurisdiction; Venue. Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction, any state or Federal court within the State of Delaware) in the event any dispute arises out of any Transaction Document or any Transaction, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to any Transaction Document or any Transaction in any court other than such court.

SECTION 12.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION

85

DOCUMENTS OR ANY TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 12.13. Parent Legal Representation.

(a) Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that each of Cravath, Swaine & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and May (each, “Existing Counsel”) may have acted as counsel for Parent, Sellers, the Transferred Entities and any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (the “Engagement”).

(b) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that all confidential communications between Parent, Sellers, the Transferred Entities and any of their respective Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Existing Counsel, on the other hand, in the course of the Engagement, and any attendant attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection and expectation of client confidentiality applicable thereto shall be deemed to belong solely to Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries (excluding the Transferred Group Members), and not the Transferred Group Members, and shall not pass to or be claimed, held, or used by Purchaser or the Transferred Group Members upon or after the Closing. Accordingly, Purchaser shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Existing Counsel relating to the Engagement, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) to the extent that files of Existing Counsel in respect of the Engagement constitute property of the client, only Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries (excluding the Transferred Group Members) shall hold such property rights and (ii) Existing Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to Purchaser or the Transferred Group Members by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Existing Counsel and the Transferred Group Members or otherwise. If and to the extent that, at any time subsequent to Closing, Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing, the Transferred Group Members) shall have the right to assert or waive any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between the Transferred Group Members and Existing Counsel that occurred at any time prior to the Closing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing, the Transferred Group Members), shall be entitled to waive such privilege only with the prior written consent of Parent.

(c) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that Existing Counsel may continue to represent Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries in future matters. Accordingly, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing, the Transferred Group Members), expressly: (i) consents to Existing Counsel’s representation of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries in any matter, including any post-Closing matter in which the interests of Purchaser and the Transferred Group Members, on the one hand, and Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries, on the other hand, are adverse, including any matter relating to the Transactions, and whether or not such matter is one in which Existing Counsel may have previously advised

86

Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries; and (ii) consents to the disclosure by Existing Counsel to Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries of any information learned by Existing Counsel in the course of its representation of Parent, Sellers, the Transferred Entities and any of their respective Subsidiaries, whether or not such information is subject to attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or Existing Counsel’s duty of confidentiality.

(d) Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing, the Transferred Group Members) further covenants and agrees that each shall not assert any claim, and that it hereby waives any claim, against Existing Counsel in respect of legal services provided to the Transferred Group Members by Existing Counsel in connection with the Engagement.

(e) Upon and after the Closing, the Transferred Group Members shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with Existing Counsel, unless and to the extent Existing Counsel is specifically engaged in writing by Purchaser or a Transferred Group Member to represent such Person after the Closing. Any such representation by Existing Counsel after the Closing shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof.

(f) Purchaser, Parent, UK Seller and the Transferred US Entity consent to the arrangements in this Section 12.13 and agree to take, and to cause their Subsidiaries to take, all steps necessary to implement the intent of this Section 12.13 and not to take or cause their Subsidiaries to take positions contrary to the intent of this Section 12.13. Purchaser, Parent, UK Seller and the Transferred US Entity further agree that each Existing Counsel is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 12.13.

SECTION 12.14. Certain Financing Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Parent, UK Seller and Transferred US Entity (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) hereby agrees: (a) that any suit, legal action or proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract, in tort or otherwise, directly involving any Person (other than Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof) that is an agent, arranger, lender or underwriter of, or otherwise a third party counterparty of the Purchaser with respect to, any actual or potential Financing or any Affiliate of any such Person (collectively, with each of their respective Representatives acting as such, the “Financing Parties”), in each case, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the Financing or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder (any such suit, legal action or proceeding, a “Financing Party Action”) shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the County of New York, New York and any appellate court thereof (and each party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any Financing Party Action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court); (b) that any Financing Party Action shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another state), except as expressly otherwise provided in any applicable agreement relating to the Financing; (c) not to bring or support, or permit any of its controlled Affiliates to bring or support, any Financing Party Action against any Financing Party in any forum other than any federal or state court in the County of New York, New York; (d) that it irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Financing Party Action in any such court; (e) knowingly, intentionally

87

and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law trial by jury in any Financing Party Action brought against the Financing Parties; (f) that none of the Financing Parties will have any liability to any of the Seller Parties or to their respective Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Financing, any agreement relating thereto or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise (it being understood that nothing in this clause (f) shall affect the obligations of the Purchaser and its Affiliates under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents); and (g) that (and each other party hereto agrees that) the Financing Parties are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, the provisions of this Section 12.14, and which provisions shall not be amended in a manner adverse to any Financing Party without its prior written consent. “Financing” means any debt financing obtained by the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates on its behalf) for the purpose of financing the transactions contemplated hereby.
