For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall have an absolute and unconditional obligation to make each Deferred Payment by the applicable payment deadline; provided that, Purchaser may prepay any Deferred Payment, in whole or in part, at any time without any prepayment penalty or other charge. If Purchaser fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.2, Purchaser shall pay Seller interest on such amount at the annual rate of five percent (5%) plus the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by applicable Law.

2.3 Earnout Payments.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the condition of this Section 2.3, subject to Section 5.7(i), for each full fiscal quarter of Purchaser (each, an “Earnout Period”) during the five-year period commencing at the end of the first full fiscal quarter of Purchaser following the Closing Date and ending on the five-year anniversary of such date, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller (and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates designated by Seller) the Earnout Amount for such Earnout Period as additional consideration for the Purchased Assets and the Business. The Earnout Amount, if any, due to Seller for each Earnout Period shall be paid by Purchaser (or one of its Affiliates) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller no later than 60 calendar days following the final day of such Earnout Period.

(b) Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year during which there is an Earnout Period, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a reasonably detailed statement (each, an “Earnout Statement”) setting forth a calculation of the Earnout Amounts for such calendar year together with reasonable supporting information. Seller may dispute the calculation of such Earnout Amounts by providing written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser within 30 days of Purchaser’s delivery of the Earnout Statement to Seller. The Dispute Notice shall identify each disputed item, specify the amount of such dispute and set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, provide Seller and its Representatives with reasonable access, information and assistance as may be reasonably requested by Seller in connection with its review of the Earnout Statement. In the event of any such disputes, Purchaser and Seller shall attempt, in good faith, to reconcile their differences (including providing information that is reasonably requested to the other party), and any resolution by them as to any disputed items shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be evidenced by a writing signed by Purchaser and Seller reflecting such resolution. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach such resolution within 30 days after Seller’s delivery of the Dispute Notice to Purchaser, then Purchaser and Seller shall promptly submit any remaining disputed items for final binding resolution to the Designated Accounting Firm. If any remaining disputed items are submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm for resolution, (i) each Party will furnish to the Designated Accounting Firm such workpapers and other documents and information relating to the remaining disputed items as the Designated Accounting Firm may request and are available to such Party, and each Party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Designated Accounting Firm any material relating to the disputed items and to discuss the resolution of the disputed items with the Designated Accounting Firm; (ii) each Party will use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the resolution process so that the disputed items can be resolved within 45 days of submission of the disputed items to the Designated Accounting Firm; (iii) the determination by the Designated Accounting Firm, as set forth in a written notice to Purchaser and Seller, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties; and (iv) the fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be borne by Seller and Purchaser in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Designated Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the

amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Designated Accounting Firm at the time the determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm, and all other costs and expenses shall be paid by the respective Party incurring such expense. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize or permit the Designated Accounting Firm to resolve any item in dispute by making an adjustment to the Earnout Statement that is outside of the range for such item defined by the Earnout Statement and the Dispute Notice. In calculating the Earnout Amounts, the Designated Accounting Firm shall be limited to addressing any particular disputes referred to in the Dispute Notice.

(c) The Earnout Statement shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and Seller upon the earliest of (i) the failure of Seller to deliver to Purchaser the Dispute Notice within 30 days of Purchaser’s delivery of the Earnout Statement to Seller; (ii) the resolution of all disputes by Purchaser and Seller, documented in a writing executed by the Parties; and (iii) the resolution of all disputes by the Designated Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 2.3(b).

(d) In the event that the Earnout Amounts reflected in any Earnout Statement exceed the amounts paid to Seller pursuant to Section 2.3(a) in respect of each Earnout Period within the applicable calendar year to which such Earnout Statement relates, Purchaser (or one of its Affiliates) shall pay Seller the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller no later than 60 calendar days following determination that the applicable Earnout Statement is final, in accordance with Section 2.3(c). The Parties intend that the payment of Earnout Amounts shall be treated for applicable income tax purposes as additional purchase price paid for the Purchased Assets and the Business, except as required by Section 483 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, and shall prepare all Tax Returns consistently with the foregoing unless otherwise required by Law.

(e) The Parties understand and agree that (i) any sale event (including stock purchase, asset purchase, merger, combination, exclusive license or other change of control, whether direct or indirect, whether by operation of law or otherwise) involving Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Effective Time shall (A) not relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this Section 2.3, and (B) require, as a condition precedent to such sale event, that the acquiror or surviving corporation, as the case may be, assume (whether expressly or by operation of law) this Agreement as part of the sale event and be liable for the payment of all amounts under this Section 2.3, and (ii) except as provided in Section 2.10 with respect to any applicable withholding Tax, that all Earnout Amounts payable hereunder shall be made without any deduction, abatement, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever, regardless of any indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to Article VIII.

(f) During each applicable Earnout Period, Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to, and to cause its Affiliates not to, act in bad faith with respect to attaining any Business Profit for the purpose of reducing the Earnout Amount for such Earnout Period.

2.4 Closing Date. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Article VII, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by Section 2.1 (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ at 10:00 a.m., local time, and in such other places as are necessary to effect the transactions to be consummated at the Closing, on the third Business Day immediately following the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted, waiver of all of the conditions in Article VI (other than those conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied or, to the extent permitted, waived at the Closing but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted, waiver of such conditions), or at such other time, date and place as shall be determined by mutual agreement of the Parties (such date of the Closing being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Closing Date be earlier than July 1, 2017. The effective time of the Closing for operational and all other matters (the “Effective Time”) shall be deemed to be 12:01 a.m., local time in each jurisdiction in which the Purchased Assets are located, on the Closing Date.

2.5 Purchaser Obligations. At the Closing, (i) Purchaser shall or shall cause its Purchaser Designees to deliver to the Company (and/or such other Subsidiaries or Affiliates designated by Seller) in a manner designated by Seller and consistent with the Closing Date Allocation an aggregate amount in cash equal to the Closing Date Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller’s written instructions to Purchaser and (ii) Purchaser shall, and shall cause the applicable Purchaser Designee to, duly execute and deliver to Seller or the applicable Asset Sellers the following:

(j) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) affecting the Purchased Assets have been released;

(k) subject to Section 5.16, certificates evidencing the Chinese JV Interests, to the extent such Chinese JV Interests are in certificate form, duly endorsed in blank or with stock powers duly executed in proper form for transfer, and, to the extent such Chinese JV Interests are not in certificated form, other evidence of ownership or assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser; and

(l) such other documents and instruments as Purchaser may reasonably request to consummate the transactions described in Section 2.1.

2.7 Further Assurances; Consent of Third Parties.

(a) From time to time following the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases, acquittances and other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as may be necessary or appropriate to transfer fully to, and vest in, Purchaser and the Purchaser Designees and their successors or assigns, all of the properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be conveyed to Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and to assure fully to the Asset Sellers, the assumption of the liabilities and obligations intended to be assumed by Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including (i) transferring back to the applicable Asset Seller any asset or liability not contemplated by this Agreement to be a Purchased Asset or an Assumed Liability, respectively, if and to the extent that any such asset or liability was erroneously or inadvertently transferred to

Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee at the Closing, and (ii) transferring to Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee any asset or liability contemplated by this Agreement to be a Purchased Asset or an Assumed Liability, respectively, which was erroneously or inadvertently not transferred to Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee at the Closing).

(b) Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to transfer or assign any Purchased Asset, including any Assumed Lease, Transferred Contract, certificate, approval, authorization or other right that by its terms or by Law is nonassignable or cannot be entered into without the consent of a Third Party or a Governmental Authority or is cancelable by a Third Party in the event of an assignment (“Nonassignable Assets”) unless and until (i) such consents shall have been obtained or (ii) Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee notifies Seller that any such Purchased Asset should be transferred or assigned notwithstanding the absence of a requisite Third Party consent or Governmental Authority consent or the right of a Third Party to cancel such Nonassignable Asset in the event of a transfer or assignment hereunder, in which event such Purchased Asset shall not be a Nonassignable Asset for purposes of this Agreement and shall instead be transferred and assigned hereunder notwithstanding the absence of such Third Party consent or Governmental Authority consent or any right of a Third Party to cancel such Purchased Asset. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the event any requisite consent cannot be or is not for any reason obtained prior to the Closing, from and after the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to develop a mutually agreeable arrangement (including by way of amendment or addition of services to the Transition Services Agreement) under which (i) Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations under such Nonassignable Assets in accordance with this Agreement, including by sub-contracting, sub-licensing, or sub-leasing to Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee or (ii) such Nonassignable Assets would be held, as of and from the Closing Date, by Seller or its applicable Subsidiary in trust for Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee and the covenants and obligations thereunder would be performed by Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee in Seller’s or such Subsidiary’s name and all benefits, obligations and liabilities existing thereunder would be for Purchaser’s or a Purchaser Designee’s account. If after the Closing Date any Nonassignable Asset becomes assignable (either because consent for the assignment or execution thereof is obtained or otherwise), Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser and reasonably cooperate to assign or transfer such previously Nonassignable Asset to Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Designee without payment of any further consideration therefor.

(c) Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution, approval, or amendment required to transfer all rights and obligations under any and all Transferred Contracts, Governmental Authorizations, certificates, approvals, authorizations or other rights or obligations or liabilities that constitute Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities or that are required to perform the obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(d) From and after the Closing Date, Seller on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries authorizes Purchaser and the Purchaser Designees, as applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of Seller or its Subsidiaries under the Nonassignable Assets.

2.8 Purchaser Designees; Business Transfer Agreements.

(a) The Parties agree that Purchaser may assign the right to purchase certain Purchased Assets to one or more Purchaser Designees. Notwithstanding any such assignment, Purchaser shall remain liable for, and any assignment or execution of any Transaction Document shall not relieve Purchaser of, its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Any reference to Purchaser in this Agreement shall to the extent applicable also be deemed a reference to the applicable Purchaser Designee, except where in context of this Agreement such use would not be appropriate.

(b) The transactions relating to the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets located in China (the “China Purchased Assets”) and India (the “India Purchased Assets”) will be concluded under a separate China Purchase Agreement and India Purchase Agreement between the applicable Asset Seller and the applicable Purchaser Designee. All consideration with regard to the China Purchased Assets and the India Purchased Assets will be paid in China and India as a domestic transaction. No consideration in relation to the purchase and sale of the China Purchased Assets and the India Purchased Assets will be paid by the applicable Purchaser Designee to Asset Seller outside of China and India, as applicable.

(c) Except for the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities of Asset Sellers formed or incorporated in the United States or as otherwise provided in Section 2.8(b) or this Section 2.8(c), the transfer of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities will be effected at the Closing pursuant to short-form business and asset transfer agreements entered into between the applicable Asset Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Designee, on the other hand, each in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D with such modifications as are necessary in order to maintain substantially the same legal meaning and effect under local Law as provided in this Agreement and agreed upon by the Parties (the “Business Transfer Agreements”), provided that if such Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities of any such Asset Seller are of a type or nature that are not transferable under local Law or custom pursuant to a Business Transfer Agreement, or if a Business Transfer Agreement is not sufficient under local Law or custom to transfer to Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee such applicable Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, the transfer of such Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities shall be effected or further substantiated, as applicable, pursuant to the Other Transfer Documents. The transfer of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities of the Asset Sellers formed or incorporated in the United States will be effected pursuant to an assignment, assumption and ▇▇▇▇ of sale in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D (the “General Assignment and Assumption Agreement”).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any China Purchase Agreement, India Purchase Agreement, Business Transfer Agreement or Other Transfer Document, any consideration paid by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to any Asset Seller pursuant to such agreements or documents shall be deemed for all purposes to comprise part of, and not be in addition to, the Purchase Price payable hereunder.

2.9 Allocation of Purchase Price. The initial allocation of the Closing Date Payment and the Deferred Payments (the “Closing Date Allocation”) among the Purchased Assets being sold by each particular Asset Seller shall be prepared jointly by Seller and Purchaser prior to the Closing Date. Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate with each other in the preparation of, and to negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to, the Closing Date Allocation; provided, however, that in the event that Seller and Purchaser cannot reach agreement with respect to the Closing Date Allocation within 30 days prior to the Closing Date, the Designated Accounting Firm with recognized valuation expertise mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller shall prepare the Closing Date Allocation. The costs related to having the Designated Accounting Firm prepare the Closing Date Allocation shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller an allocation of all amounts treated as purchase price for applicable income tax purposes among the Purchased Assets consistent with applicable Law (the “Asset Level Allocation Statement”). The Asset Level Allocation Statement shall be consistent with the Closing Date Allocation, but shall also contain a methodology for allocation of any Earnout Amounts among the Purchased Assets. Seller and Purchaser shall work in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the Asset Level Allocation Statement. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve any such dispute, the matters in dispute (but only the matters in dispute) shall be resolved promptly by the Designated Accounting Firm as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, the costs of which shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. The Parties agree that they will not, and will not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, take a position (except as required pursuant to any Order of, or to settle a dispute with, a Governmental Authority) on any Tax Return or in any audit or examination before any Governmental Authority that is inconsistent with the final Asset Level Allocation Statement (the final Asset Level Allocation Statement being referred to herein as the “Allocation”); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.9 shall prevent the Parties or their respective Affiliates from settling, or require any of them to litigate, any challenge, proposed deficiency, adjustment or other similar Proceeding by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Allocation. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall promptly notify the other in writing upon receipt of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits, assessments or other proceedings challenging the Allocation. If the Closing Date Payment is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Allocation shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.9.

2.10 Withholding.

(a) Purchaser, Seller and any of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, any amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted with respect to such amounts under the Code, or any applicable provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Law. Each Party shall provide commercially reasonable notice to the other Party upon becoming aware of any such withholding obligation and shall cooperate with such other Party to the extent reasonable to obtain reduction of or relief from such withholding or deduction. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Party making any such deduction or withholding shall furnish to the other Party official receipts (or copies thereof or, if official receipts are not available, other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Party

in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made) evidencing the payment of any such amounts. Any refunds of amounts withheld or deducted under this Section 2.10 shall be for the account of the Party in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made, net of any costs attributable to the recovery thereof. If Purchaser assigns its rights under Section 2.8 in a manner that results in any additional withholding or deduction from any payment of the Purchase Price, which would not have resulted absent such assignment (an “Incremental Withholding”), the Purchase Price shall be increased in an amount necessary so that after such Incremental Withholding has been made (including such withholdings and deductions applicable to additional sums under this Section 2.10) the recipient receives an amount equal to the Purchase Price it would have received had no such Incremental Withholding been made.

(b) Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (i) Seller will be responsible for and will perform (A) all required Tax withholding, payment and reporting duties with respect to any wages and other compensation paid by Seller or its Subsidiaries to any Business Employee in connection with the operation or conduct of the Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (B) any Tax withholding, payment and reporting related to payments made by Seller or its Subsidiaries to any Transferred Employee under a Benefit Plan of Seller or its Subsidiaries with respect to any Post-Closing Tax Period and (C) any Tax withholding, payment and reporting related to any change-of-control, retention, severance, vacation or paid time off or similar payment that is made by Seller and triggered in whole or in part by the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, and (ii) Purchaser will be responsible for and will perform all required Tax withholding, payment and reporting duties with respect to (A) any wages and other compensation paid by Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee to any Transferred Employee and (B) any payments made or benefits provided by Purchaser to any Transferred Employee. Purchaser and Seller agree to use the standard procedure set forth in Rev. Proc. 2004-53 with respect to each Transferred Employee who is subject to taxation in the United States. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph is intended to modify or adjust the substantive liability of Purchaser and Seller under this Agreement with respect to the Taxes described in this paragraph.

ARTICLE V

AGREEMENTS OF PURCHASER AND SELLER

5.1 Operation of the Business. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Seller does not have the right, directly or indirectly, to control or direct the operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Merger Effective Time, subject to the Company’s obligation to obtain Seller’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to taking certain actions as expressly set forth in Section 6.01(a) through Section 6.01(s) of the Merger Agreement (such actions, the “Restricted Actions”). From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Merger Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights with respect to the Restricted Actions and, in the event that the Company requests Seller’s consent to the taking of any Restricted Action that is primarily related to the Business, Seller shall provide prompt notice of such request to Purchaser and Seller shall not provide the Company with Seller’s consent to the taking of such Restricted Action (to the extent primarily relating to the Business) unless Seller has received Purchaser’s written consent (not to be

unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the taking of such Restricted Action or Seller’s failure to provide the Company with such consent would be deemed to be an unreasonable withholding, conditioning or delaying of such consent pursuant to the Merger Agreement. From the Merger Effective Time until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, Seller shall, in each case, to the extent relating to the Business, cause the Company and its Subsidiaries, to conduct the Business in the ordinary course of business and use commercially reasonable efforts, to maintain and preserve intact the Business and to maintain the ordinary and customary relationships of the Business with its suppliers, lessors, licensees, customers and others having business relationships with them with a view toward preserving for Purchaser after the Closing Date the Business and the Purchased Assets (it being understood that nothing in this Section 5.1 shall in any way limit Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’ operation of the Retained Business). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to (a) applicable Law, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, (b) as set forth on Section 5.1 of the Disclosure Schedule, or (c) pursuant to the written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), from and after the Merger Effective Time until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof, Seller shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries, not to take any of the following actions with respect to the Business or the Purchased Assets:

(ii) acquire (by merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise), directly or indirectly, any businesses, divisions of businesses or material portion of assets thereof;

(iii) except as required by applicable Law or pursuant to a Contract in effect as of the date hereof that has been made available to Purchaser prior to the signing of this Agreement, (A) adopt, grant, enter into, amend, modify or terminate any retention, change in control, severance, termination or similar compensation with any Business Employee, (B) terminate (except for cause) or modify the terms and conditions of employment of any Business Employee (including any transfer of employment or reallocation of duties of any Business Employee so that such Business Employee ceases to be a

Business Employee) or (C) modify the salaries, wage rates, bonus or other compensation or benefits of any Business Employee, in each case other than those Business Employees who are not set forth on the list delivered by Purchaser to Seller in accordance with Section 5.7(a);

(iv) enter into any Contract outside of the ordinary course of business that would be a Company Material Contract if entered into on or prior to the date hereof, or terminate (other than by expiration), relinquish, or amend or modify in any material respect any material term (other than by automatic extension or renewal if deemed an amendment or modification of any such Contract) of any Company Material Contract;

(v) (A) modify, extend, or enter into any Collective Bargaining Agreement, or (B) recognize or certify any labor union, labor organization, works council, or group of employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries as the bargaining representative for any Business Employees;

(vi) fail to maintain, or allow to lapse, or abandon, including by failure to pay the required fees in any jurisdiction, any Transferred Business Registered IP;

(vii) to the extent that it would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the Purchased Assets or the Business in any Post-Closing Tax Period, (A) except as required by GAAP or applicable Law, make, change or rescind any material election relating to Taxes or make any material change in any Tax accounting or reporting principles, methods or policies, (B) settle or compromise any material Tax liability, claim or assessment, (C) apply to a Governmental Authority for any Tax ruling or determination, or (D) except as required by applicable Law, file any amended foreign, federal, state or local income Tax Return or any other material amended Tax Return;

(viii) institute, settle or offer or agree to settle any Proceeding relating to or affecting the Business, the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities before any court or other Governmental Authority (other than settlements of Proceedings (A) involving solely the payment of money damages and (B) not involving an admission of liability);

(ix) change the general level of pricing of services and products of the Business, other than in the ordinary course of business;

(x) waive any of their material rights under the confidentiality, non-solicit or non-compete provisions of any Contracts relating to the Business, except in the ordinary course of business;

From and after the Merger Effective Time until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof, Seller shall cause the Company, its Subsidiaries and Ultimate Parent not to (x) issue, deliver or sell, or authorize the issuance, delivery or sale, of any stock options, restricted stock units or other equity or equity-based compensation in respect of the equity interests of Ultimate Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries to any Identified Business Employee or (y) except as required by the terms of the Merger Agreement, a Company Stock Plan or the underlying award agreement in effect as of the date hereof, take any action to amend or waive any vesting criteria or accelerate the vesting, exercisability or settlement of any stock options, restricted stock units or other equity or equity-based compensation awards held by any Identified Business Employee as of the date of this Agreement.

5.2 Investigation of Business; Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to applicable Law, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Merger Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof, to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser, Seller shall request that the Company permit Purchaser to conduct (and cooperate with Purchaser’s) customary due diligence investigations with respect to the Business and furnish information regarding the Business to Purchaser, subject in all cases to the limitations and terms and conditions of Section 6.08 of the Merger Agreement applicable to such due diligence investigations and the provision of such information. To the extent that Seller makes a request to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.2(a) and uses commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights under the Merger Agreement, in no event shall the Company’s failure to comply with such request be deemed to be a breach of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Subject to applicable Law, from the Merger Effective Time until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, permit Purchaser and its Representatives to have reasonable access during normal business hours to the properties, books, records, Contracts and such financial information (including working papers) and operating data of the Business and the Business Employees as Purchaser may reasonably request to review information and documentation, and the opportunity to ask questions relative to the properties, books, contracts, commitments and other records of the Business and to conduct any other reasonable investigations; provided that such investigation shall only be upon reasonable notice and shall not unreasonably disrupt the personnel and operations of Seller, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries. All requests for access to the offices, properties, books and records of the Business shall be made to such Representatives of Seller as Seller shall designate, who shall

be solely responsible for coordinating all such requests and all access permitted hereunder. It is further agreed that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives shall contact any of the employees, customers (including dealers and distributors), suppliers or joint venture partners of Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries regarding the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in person or by telephone, electronic or other mail or other means of communication, without the specific prior authorization of such Representatives of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would waive the attorney-client privilege or contravene any Law or Contract to which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is a party. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under the circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(c) The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and its terms and all information, whether written or oral, furnished by either Party to the other Party or any Subsidiary or representative of such other Party in connection with this Agreement shall be treated as “Evaluation Material,” as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that effective upon the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

5.3 Necessary Efforts.

(a) Each of Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to: (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate actions and do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties hereto and their respective Affiliates in doing all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable; (ii) obtain from any Governmental Authority any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required to be obtained by Seller or Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or to avoid any Proceeding by any Governmental Authority, in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 10 Business Days after the date hereof with respect to the HSR Act), make all necessary registrations, declarations, submissions and filings, and thereafter make any other required registrations, declarations, submissions and filings, and pay any fees due in connection therewith, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement required under the Exchange Act, any other applicable federal or state securities laws, the HSR Act, any applicable Competition Laws, and any other applicable Law; provided that the Parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with (x) determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) seeking any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers or making any such filings. The Parties shall furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing under the rules and regulations of any applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 5.3(a) shall require or obligate (i) Seller or any of its Affiliates to take any action pursuant to the Merger Agreement or with respect to or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii)

either Party to perform, satisfy or discharge any obligations of any other Party under this Agreement or otherwise or (iii) Seller or any of its Affiliates to expend any money other than for filing fees or expenses or reasonable and customary costs or expenses or agree to any restriction in order to obtain any consents.

(b) In connection with the efforts referenced in Section 5.3(a), the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts and take all actions necessary to (i) respond as promptly as practicable to any requests for information from any Governmental Authority, and to avoid or overcome any action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial action, and (ii) have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any judgment, injunction or other Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that restricts, prevents or prohibits, or could restrict, prevent or prohibit, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller or any of its Subsidiaries be required or expected to retain any of the Purchased Assets (including assets that would be Purchased Assets but for the inability to obtain a consent) in order to comply with its obligations in respect of the foregoing. Each Party shall furnish to the other such necessary information and assistance as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any necessary filings or submissions by it to any Governmental Authority. Except as prohibited or restricted by Law or any Competition Laws, each Party or its attorneys shall provide the other Party or its attorneys with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications (or memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) which are made after the filing of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Notification and Report Form between such Party or its representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, subject to redaction or other similar approach (including sharing on an outside counsel only basis) as reasonably necessary of documents filed pursuant to Item 4(c) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Notification and Report Form. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of either Party in connection with Proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act or any other Competition Law. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Authority or by applicable Law, in connection with any request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding by or before any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Party will permit authorized Representatives of the other Party to be present at each meeting, conference or telephone call relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion, proposal or other communication made or submitted to any Governmental Authority in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with the receipt of any necessary approvals or clearances of a Governmental Authority in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, neither Seller nor Purchaser (nor any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates) shall be required to sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of or conduct their business in a specified manner, or agree to sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of or conduct their businesses in a specified manner, or enter

into or agree to enter into a voting trust arrangement, proxy arrangement, “hold separate” agreement or arrangement or similar agreement or arrangement with respect to the assets, operations or conduct of their business in a specified manner, or permit the sale, holding separate or other disposition of, any assets of Purchaser, the Company, Seller or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided, however, that Purchaser agrees that if necessary to receive the necessary approvals or clearances of a Governmental Authority required under the HSR Act or any applicable Competition Laws, Purchaser will (and will cause its Affiliates to) take, commit to take or cause to be taken, such actions and agree to any reasonable restriction or condition as may be requested or required by any Governmental Authority, in each case, so long as such action, restriction or condition would not reduce the reasonably anticipated benefits to Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in an amount that is financially material relative to the value of the Purchased Assets, taken as a whole.

5.4 Public Disclosures. Unless otherwise required by Law, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or quotation services on which such Party’s stock is traded or quoted, prior to the Closing Date, no news release or other public announcement pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be made by or on behalf of either Party or its Subsidiaries without the prior written approval of the other Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If in the judgment of either Party such a news release or public announcement is required by Law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange on which such Party’s stock is traded, the Party intending to make such release or announcement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior written notice to the other Party of the contents of such release or announcement and to allow the other Party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

5.5 Access to Records and Personnel.

(a) From and after the Closing until the third anniversary of the Closing, each Party shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each other, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor and at the requesting Party’s sole expense, reasonable access (including using commercially reasonable efforts to give access to Third Parties possessing information), during normal business hours, to the other Party’s Representatives and to any books, records, documents, files and correspondence in the possession or under the control of the other Party that the requesting Party reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on the requesting Party (including under applicable securities Laws) by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other Proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation or other similar requirements arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) for use in any Proceeding relating to the Infringement of the Intellectual Property Rights of another Person, or (iv) to comply with its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure (y) is related to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article VIII or any other claim against a Party or such Party’s Affiliates or (z) would violate any Law or agreement, or waive any attorney-client or other similar privilege, and each Party may redact information regarding itself or its Affiliates or otherwise not relating to the other Party and its Affiliates, and, in the event such provision of information could reasonably be expected to violate any Law or agreement or waive any attorney-client or other similar privilege, the Parties shall take all commercially reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any information owned by a Party that is provided to a requesting Party or its Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such information.

(c) No Party shall have any liability to any other Party in the event that any information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Section 5.5 is found to be inaccurate.

The Parties shall, and shall cause their Representatives to, use the Confidential Information only in connection with the performance of this Agreement or as otherwise contemplated hereby. “Confidential Information” furnished or made available pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiver or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement; (ii) becomes available to the Receiver or its Representatives on a nonconfidential basis from a Person other than the Provider or its Affiliates or Representatives who is not known by the Receiver to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Provider or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, or is not known by the Receiver to be under an obligation to the Provider or any of its Affiliates or Representatives not to transmit the information to the Receiver; (iii) was in the possession of the Receiver prior to disclosure by the Provider or its Representatives (provided that any information regarding the Business in the possession of Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date or provided to Seller or its Affiliates pursuant to, or maintained by Seller or its Affiliates under, the Transition Services Agreement shall not be subject to this provision); or (iv) is developed by the Receiver independent of any Confidential Information provided hereunder (provided that any information regarding the Business in the possession of Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date or provided to Seller or its Affiliates pursuant to, or maintained by Seller or its Affiliates under, the Transition Services Agreement shall not be subject to this provision). Nothing in this Section 5.5 shall affect Purchaser’s rights in the Purchased Assets following the Closing. In the event that the Receiver or any of its Representatives are required by Law or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or quotation services on which such Party’s stock is traded or quoted to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiver shall provide the Provider with prompt notice of such request or requirement in order to enable the Provider to: (x) seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy; (y) consult with the Receiver with respect to the Provider’s taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of such request or legal process; or (z) waive compliance, in whole or in

part, with the terms of this Section 5.5(d). In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Provider waives compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this Section 5.5(d), the Receiver or its Representative, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that the Receiver is advised in writing by its legal counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to ensure that all Confidential Information that is so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment.

(e) Nothing in this Section 5.5 shall require either Party to violate any agreement with any Third Parties regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary information or of customer information; provided, however, that in the event that either Party is required under this Section 5.5 to disclose any such information, that Party shall provide notice of the basis for any such potential violation and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such Third Party’s consent to the disclosure of such information and implement requisite procedures to enable the disclosure of such information.

5.6 Ultimate Parent Options and Ultimate Parent RSU Awards.

(a) At the Closing Date, by virtue of the Closing and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each In-the-Money Ultimate Parent Option that is outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (“Cashed Out Ultimate Parent Options”) shall be cancelled immediately prior to the Closing Date and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Ultimate Parent Ordinary Shares underlying such Ultimate Parent Option immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) the excess of the closing price of a share of Ultimate Parent Ordinary Shares on the Closing Date less the exercise price per share of such Ultimate Parent Option (the “Option Consideration”), without interest and subject to applicable tax withholdings. Each holder of a Cashed Out Ultimate Parent Option shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the cancellation thereof the Option Consideration with respect to each share of Ultimate Parent Ordinary Shares subject to such outstanding Cashed Out Ultimate Parent Option and the Company shall cause such payment to be made to the holder of such Ultimate Parent Option, if a current or former employee of the Company, through the payroll system of the Company or, if not a current or former employee of the Company, through a reputable bank or trust company as Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent”), in each case, payable as soon as practicable following the Closing Date (and, in the case of current or former employees of the Company, in no event later than the next regularly scheduled payroll run of the Company following the Closing Date), provided that in the event that any Cashed Out Ultimate Parent Option is subject to Section 409A of the Code, as jointly determined by Seller and the Company, the payment of the amount of cash with respect thereto shall be delayed to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

(b) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall grant an award of restricted stock units denominated in shares of Purchaser Common Stock (a “Substitute RSU Award”) to each Transferred Employee who holds an In-the-Money Ultimate Parent Option that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (after giving effect to any accelerated vesting that occurs solely due to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and which will be forfeited as of the Closing

pursuant to the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan and award agreement evidencing such In-the-Money Ultimate Parent Option, in replacement therefor, upon such terms and conditions (including the vesting schedule applicable for new hire grants) that apply to ordinary new hire grants of restricted stock units made by Purchaser to similarly situated employees of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, subject to applicable Law; provided, that the number of restricted stock units subject to such Substitute RSU Award shall be equal to (x) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Ultimate Parent Ordinary Shares underlying such In-the-Money Ultimate Parent Option immediately prior to the Closing Date, by (ii) the excess of the closing price of a share of Ultimate Parent Ordinary Shares on the Closing Date less the per share exercise price of such In-the-Money Ultimate Parent Option, divided by (y) the volume weighted average price for a share of Purchaser Common Stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to (and excluding) the Closing Date as reported by Bloomberg, L.P, rounding such quotient down to the nearest whole number of shares of Company common stock; and, provided further, that Purchaser shall cause any such grants made in jurisdictions in which (A) Purchaser has not registered is securities for issuance and (B) such grant does not qualify for an exemption from registration to be settled upon vesting in cash based upon the closing price of shares of Purchaser Common Stock as of the date of such settlement. Each offer of employment made by Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.7(b) to any Person who holds a Substitute RSU Award granted in replacement of an In-the-Money Ultimate Parent Option shall include an acknowledgement and agreement by such Person that the foregoing replacement of such In-the-Money Ultimate Parent Option by Purchaser satisfies in whole any obligation of Ultimate Parent in respect of the related In-the-Money Ultimate Parent Option.

(c) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall grant a Substitute RSU Award to each Transferred Employee who holds an Ultimate Parent RSU Award that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Closing (after giving effect to any accelerated vesting that occurs solely due to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and which will be forfeited as of the Closing pursuant to the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan and award agreement evidencing such Ultimate Parent RSU Award, in replacement therefor, upon such terms and conditions (including the vesting schedule applicable for new hire grants) that apply to ordinary new hire grants of restricted stock units made by Purchaser to similarly situated employees of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, subject to applicable Law; provided, that the number of restricted stock units subject to such Substitute RSU Award shall be equal to the product of (i) the number of Ultimate Parent Ordinary Shares that were issuable with regard to such Ultimate Parent RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Closing, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding such product down to the nearest whole number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock; and, provided further, that Purchaser shall cause any such grants made in jurisdictions in which (A) Purchaser has not registered is securities for issuance and (B) such grant does not qualify for an exemption from registration to be settled upon vesting in cash based upon the closing price of shares of Purchaser Common Stock as of the date of such settlement. Each offer of employment made by Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.7(b) to any Person who holds a Substitute RSU Award granted in replacement of an Ultimate Parent RSU Award shall include an acknowledgement and agreement by such Person that the foregoing replacement of such Ultimate Parent RSU Award by Purchaser satisfies in whole any obligation of Ultimate Parent in respect of the related Ultimate Parent RSU Award.

(d) Each Substitute RSU Award shall be governed in accordance with the terms of the Purchaser Stock Plan and the applicable award agreement entered into with Purchaser evidencing such Substitute RSU Award consistent with the terms of Section 5.6(a) and 5.6(b).

5.7 Employee Relations and Benefits.

(a) On or prior to the date 60 calendar days after the date hereof, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a list of the names of the Business Employees (as such list may be subsequently updated by Seller to reflect new hires, terminations or other personnel changes occurring between the date hereof and the Closing Date) who will receive an offer of employment from Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.7(b).

(b) Except as otherwise provided with respect to Automatic Transfer Employees whose employment will continue after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.7(k), Purchaser shall offer employment within 15 days prior to the Closing Date to each Identified Business Employee to be effective on the Closing Date (except for those Identified Business Employees on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, which offer is to be effective on their return to employment) (the “Offer Employees”). With respect to each Transferred Employee, Purchaser shall, for at least 12 months after the Closing Date (subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 5.7(b)), (A) provide employment at a location that is no more than 60 miles from the principal work location at which such Transferred Employee was employed immediately prior to the Closing and (B) levels of base salary or base wage rate, as applicable, and target cash bonus opportunities (excluding long-term cash incentive compensation and retention or transaction bonuses) that are no less favorable in the aggregate as those in effect for such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing (unless otherwise required by local Law, in which case such offer shall comply with local Law). Those Offer Employees who accept the offer of employment from Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries and who commence employment with Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries immediately after the Closing Date (or, for those on vacation or other approved leave of absence with a legal right to return to employment, immediately upon their return to active work), as well as any Automatic Transfer Employees who do not object to the transfer of his or her employment to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates and whose employment will continue after the Closing Date as described in Section 5.7(k) shall be referred to herein as “Transferred Employees.” The Company and its Subsidiaries shall terminate for all purposes (including under all Benefit Plans) the employment of all Offer Employees effective immediately as of the Closing Date (or, for those on vacation or other approved leave of absence with a legal right to return to employment, upon their return to active work with Purchaser). Nothing herein shall limit Purchaser’s ability to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee employed by Purchaser after the Closing. If any Transferred Employee requires a work visa or permit or an employment pass or other approval for his or her employment to continue with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates as of or after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to secure prior to the Closing Date the necessary visa, permit, pass or other approval in a timely manner consistent with the terms of this Section 5.7, if and only if Seller provides in advance of Closing and in a timely manner (and no less than 30 days before Closing) all information as is necessary to secure such necessary visa, permit, pass or other approval in a timely manner, and Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any expenses related thereto. The remaining provisions of this Section 5.7 shall apply to the Automatic Transfer Employees subject to any overriding requirement of the Transfer Regulations or other applicable Law.

(c) Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to, engage in any activity intended to discourage any Business Employee from accepting an offer of employment from Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, and Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, offer employment with any business of Seller or any of its Affiliates after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller and its Affiliates shall be permitted to take any action (i) they are legally required to take in order to comply with local Laws or (ii) as mutually agreed by the Parties. Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates as applicable to, terminate the employment of any Identified Business Employee who does not accept Purchaser’s offer of employment.

(d) Starting on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date or any longer period as required under local employment Laws, each Transferred Employee who remains employed by Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries shall be eligible to participate in employee benefit plans, agreements, programs, policies and arrangements of Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries that provide 401(k), medical, dental, vision, long-term disability, long-term care, tuition assistance, business travel accident and employee recognition benefits (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any equity-based compensation, defined benefit pension plan and retiree health plan benefits) (the “Purchaser Plans”) that are provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries.

(e) Seller shall retain responsibility for and continue to pay all medical, life insurance, disability and other welfare plan expenses and benefits for each Business Employee with respect to claims incurred by such Business Employees or their covered dependents prior to the Closing Date (and, for those Business Employees who are not employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries but are on an approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, prior to their return to employment). Expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred by Transferred Employees or their covered dependents under Purchaser Plans on or after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Purchaser. For purposes of this paragraph, a claim is deemed incurred: in the case of medical or dental benefits, when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed; in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs; in the case of disability benefits, when the disability occurs; in the case of workers’ compensation benefits, when the event giving rise to the benefits occurs; and otherwise, at the time the Transferred Employee or covered dependent becomes entitled to payment of a benefit (assuming that all procedural requirements are satisfied and claims applications properly and timely completed and submitted).

(f) With respect to any plan that is a group health plan maintained by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries and provided to Transferred Employees after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and Purchaser shall cause its Subsidiaries to, with respect to Transferred Employees, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause to be waived any pre-existing condition and waiting periods, except to the extent such provisions were applicable under the similar Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date (or, for those Business Employees who are not employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries but are on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, on their return to employment) and (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum

out-of-pocket limitations, to amounts paid by such Transferred Employees during the plan year of the applicable group health plan sponsored by Seller or one of its Subsidiaries during which the Closing (or, for those Business Employees who are not employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries but are on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, their return to employment) occurs. Seller shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide all necessary information on a timely basis that Purchaser and its Subsidiaries shall require to verify that such deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations have been paid by such Transferred Employees, and Purchaser’s and its Subsidiaries’ duties under this paragraph shall be contingent upon obtaining such information on a timely basis.

(g) For purposes of eligibility and vesting only, Transferred Employees shall be given credit for all service with Seller, any of its Subsidiaries, and any predecessor employer for which Seller or such Subsidiary credited service, under each plan of Purchaser or its Affiliates in which such Transferred Employees are eligible to participate (other than equity incentive plans or defined benefit plans) to the same extent as recognized under any comparable Benefit Plan.

(h) Except as required by applicable Law or as may be agreed to by Seller and Purchaser, as of the Closing Date (or, for those Business Employees on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, as of the expiration of their leave), the Transferred Employees shall cease to accrue further benefits under the employee benefit plans and arrangements maintained by Seller and its Subsidiaries, and shall commence participation in the Purchaser Plans to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of such Purchaser Plans. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all steps necessary to (i) permit such employees to take distributions of such balances from any 401(k) plan of Seller and to the extent permitted by Purchaser’s 401(k) plan, rollover such balances (including notes associated with plan loans) to Purchaser’s 401(k) plan and (ii) following the Closing Date, prevent any Transferred Employee’s plan loans from going into default prior to such rollovers occurring unless such rollovers do not occur prior to the end of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the Closing Date (or, for those Business Employees on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, the expiration of their leave) occurs. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit each such Transferred Employee who has received an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from a 401(k) plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries to roll such eligible rollover distribution including, for a reasonable period of time following the Closing Date, any associated loans into an account under a 401(k) plan maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(i) With respect to (i) any accrued but unused vacation, sick and paid time off of Transferred Employees and (ii) any gratuity payments required to made to Transferred Employees in India pursuant to the Payment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇, as amended, as of the Closing Date (or, for those Business Employees on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, the expiration of their leave) to which any Transferred Employee is entitled pursuant to the policy of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing (or, for those Business Employees on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, their return to employment), to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Seller shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, pay each Transferred Employee in full for such accrued but unused vacation, sick and paid time off and any gratuity payments within 30 days after the

Closing (or, for those Business Employees on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, 30 days after the expiration of their leave) or by such earlier time as may be required by applicable Law. The initial Earnout Payment to be paid by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.3(a) following the Closing Date shall be decreased by the aggregate amount of any accrued but unused vacation, sick and paid time off and any gratuity payments to which any Transferred Employee is entitled pursuant to the policy of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing (or, for those Business Employees on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, their return to employment) that cannot be paid in full within 30 days after the Closing (or, for those Business Employees on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, 30 days after the expiration of their leave) in accordance with applicable Law.

(j) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Subsidiaries with respect to any liability under COBRA or similar applicable Laws in the United States arising from the actions (or inactions) of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries relating to Transferred Employees after the Closing Date. Seller shall retain, and indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates for, all liabilities, including with respect to any “qualifying event” (as defined under COBRA) occurring on or before the Closing, and liabilities under similar applicable Laws incurred on or prior to the Closing Date or arising as a result of the transactions described herein, including with respect to all qualifying M&A Beneficiaries under COBRA relating to the Business.

(k) It is intended that in accordance with the Transfer Regulations, the employment and the contracts of employment of the Automatic Transfer Employees will (other than in respect of any such employee who objects to a transfer or resigns and leaves prior to Closing Date) transfer automatically to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates as a result of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and accordingly each such contract of employment shall have effect from the Closing Date as if originally made between Purchaser, or its applicable Affiliate, and the applicable Automatic Transfer Employee, and all rights powers, duties, liabilities and obligations of Seller or its Affiliates in respect of, or in relation to, such Automatic Transfer Employees and their contracts of employment in force immediately before the Closing (with the exception of accrued occupational pension scheme rights) shall transfer to the Purchaser or its Affiliates in accordance with the Transfer Regulations. If the contract of employment of any Business Employee based in a jurisdiction where the Transfer Regulations might apply does not transfer to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in accordance with the Transfer Regulations as intended, such Business Employee shall then be an Offer Employee and Purchaser or its Affiliate shall offer such Business Employee employment in accordance with Section 5.7(b).

(l) If any Automatic Transfer Employee objects to the transfer of his or her employment to Purchaser or its Affiliate pursuant to the Transfer Regulations or refuses an offer of employment made by Purchaser or its Affiliate in accordance with Section 5.7(k), the Seller or its Affiliate (as applicable) may terminate the Automatic Transfer Employee’s employment on the Closing.

(m) Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (as applicable) to, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate in good faith to timely satisfy any Employment Obligations with any Employee Representatives (if applicable) in respect of the Automatic Transfer Employees pursuant to the Transfer Regulations.

(n) In the case of any Benefit Plan that is a Non-U.S. Benefit Plan, Seller or its Affiliates, as the case may be, shall take any necessary actions to cause, effective as of the Closing, any Non-U.S. Employees and former international employees of the Business (and their respective eligible dependents and beneficiaries) who are participating in any such Non-U.S. Benefit Plan to cease participation in such Non-U.S. Benefit Plan. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, comply with all obligations under applicable Laws or Contracts to inform, provide notice to or consult with, whether individually or collectively, Business Employees (and obtain any required consent from any such Business Employee) or employee representatives, labor or trade unions, works councils or other employee representative bodies, if any, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall provide such information to Purchaser as is required for Purchaser to comply with its obligations on a timely basis. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall assume and be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless, Seller and its Affiliates from and against, all obligations, Liabilities, costs and commitments in respect of (i) claims made by any Transferred Employee for (A) any statutory, contractual or common law severance, termination pay or separation benefits (including the employer portion of any employment taxes, together with any compensation payable during any mandatory termination period related thereto) including, but not limited to, claims for wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal, notice of termination of employment, pay in lieu of notice or termination, termination indemnities or other indemnities, (B) any damages arising from a breach of such Transferred Employee’s employment Contract and (C) any payments required to be made in respect of the termination of the Transferred Employee’s employment, in case of (A), (B) or (C) arising out of, relating to or in connection with the failure of Purchaser or one of its Affiliates to offer employment to any such Transferred Employee that complies with the terms of Section 5.7(b) and as required by applicable Law; and (ii) the failure of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to comply with any Acquired Rights Directive with respect to any Transferred Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be solely responsible for any and all Liabilities arising from or relating to the termination of employment by Seller or any of its Affiliates of any Business Employee, including any Non-U.S. Employee, who fails to accept the offer of employment by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates described in Section 5.7(b).

(o) Purchaser and Seller agree to provide the other in a timely manner, whether before or after the Closing Date, with such information and, when appropriate, documentation, as such Party may reasonably request about the provisions of this Section 5.7 so that both Purchaser and Seller may fulfill their legal obligations hereunder, comply with its obligations under this Agreement and confirm compliance with their obligations under applicable Law. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, the Parties will cooperate with respect to the transfer of employee data relating to the Business Employees as necessary to carry out their obligations set forth in this Section 5.7 no later than 45 days before the Closing. Seller will transfer to Purchaser such employee data relating to the Transferred Employees as required by Purchaser for purposes of this Section 5.7 at least 45 days before the Closing and as soon as administratively practicable following the Closing to the extent necessary for the operation of the Business; except that Seller shall not be required to create records that are not required by law or usually maintained in such circumstances.

(p) Seller shall be solely responsible for any compensation or other amounts payable to any Transferred Employee, including payroll, bonuses, workers’ compensation, vacation, paid time off and gratuity payments (unless required to be assumed by Purchaser under applicable Law pursuant to Section 5.7(i)), severance and other employee benefits, in each case for any period relating to service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any time prior to the Closing Date, and Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, all such amounts to all entitled Transferred Employees on or prior to the Closing Date (or, for those on vacation or other approved leave of absence with a legal right to return to employment, immediately after the expiration of their leave) or such later date as set forth in Section 5.7(i).

(q) On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall provide a list of the name and site of employment of any and all Business Employees who have experienced, or will experience, an employment loss or layoff as defined by the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 or any similar applicable state or local law requiring notice to employees in the event of a closing or layoff (the “WARN Act”) within 90 days prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall update this list up to and including the Closing Date. Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to, at any time 90 days prior to the Closing Date, without complying fully with the notice requirements and other requirements of the WARN Act, effectuate (i) a plant closing as defined by WARN Act affecting any site of employment or one or more facilities or operating units within any site of employment of the Company or its Subsidiaries; (ii) a mass layoff as defined by the WARN Act affecting any site of employment of the Company or its Subsidiaries; or (iii) any similar action under the WARN Act requiring notice to employees in the event of an employment loss or layoff.

(r) The Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.7 with respect to employees are included for the sole benefit of the respective Parties and shall not create any third-party beneficiary or other right in any other Person, including any employees, former employees, Transferred Employees, any participant in any Benefit Plan or any spouse, dependent or beneficiary thereof or any right to continued employment with Seller or Purchaser, nor require Purchaser or any Subsidiary of Purchaser to continue or amend any particular benefit plan on or after the Closing Date for Transferred Employees, and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.

5.8 Tax Matters.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Transfer Taxes” shall mean all transfer, filing, recordation, ad valorem, sales and use, bulk sales, stamp duties, GST, value added, excise, license or similar fees or Taxes attributable to the transactions occurring pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that any GST, value added taxes or similar Taxes that are creditable or recoverable by Purchaser (or its assignees that acquire the Purchased Assets or the Business, as applicable) shall be borne solely by Purchaser (or such assignees). Purchaser and Seller agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes, and to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports

Purchaser and Seller shall take all action reasonably necessary to cause GST, value added taxes and similar Taxes to be creditable or recoverable by Purchaser (or its assignees that acquire the Purchased Assets or the Business, as applicable).

(b) Straddle Period Allocation. All Property Taxes levied solely with respect to the Purchased Assets for the Straddle Period shall be apportioned between Purchaser and Seller based on the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the Post-Closing Tax Period. Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Purchaser shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. Upon receipt of any ▇▇▇▇ for such Property Taxes, Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, shall present a statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 5.8(b), together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount shall be paid by the Party owing it to the other within 10 days after delivery of such statement. In the event that Purchaser or Seller makes any payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 5.8(b), the applicable Party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than 10 days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting Party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement.

(c) Cooperation. From the date hereof until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations in effect with respect to the Taxes arising from the Pre-Closing Tax Period, Purchaser and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Purchaser or Seller, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for, and the prosecution or defense of, any Proceeding relating to any Tax or Tax Return; provided that, prior to the Merger Effective Time, Seller shall not be required to furnish, or cause to be furnished, any information or assistance that it does not have the authority or right to provide, or cause to be provided, under the terms of the Merger Agreement. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period pertaining to the Purchased Assets for a period of at least six years following the Closing Date.

After the Closing Date, Purchaser may deliver to Seller any checks or drafts made payable to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries that constitutes a Purchased Asset, and Seller shall promptly deposit such checks or drafts, and, upon receipt of funds, reimburse Purchaser within five Business Days for the amounts of all such checks or drafts, or, if so requested by Purchaser, endorse such checks or drafts to Purchaser for collection. To the extent Seller or any of its Subsidiaries receives any mail or packages addressed to Seller

or any of its Subsidiaries but relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, Seller shall promptly deliver such mail or packages to Purchaser. After the Closing Date, to the extent that Purchaser receives any cash or checks or drafts made payable to Purchaser that constitutes an Excluded Asset, Purchaser shall promptly use such cash to, or deposit such checks or drafts and upon receipt of funds from such checks or drafts, reimburse Seller within five Business Days for such amount received, or, if so requested by Seller, endorse such checks or drafts to Seller for collection.

All payments other than by check or draft described in this Section 5.9 shall be remitted no later than five Business Days following receipt. The Parties may not assert any set off, hold back, escrow or other restriction against any payment described in this Section 5.9.

5.10 No Solicitation of Acquisition Proposals. Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (a) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage or facilitate the making or submission of any Acquisition Proposal, (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding an Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that informing a Person of the existence of this Agreement after any such Person contacts Seller regarding an Acquisition Proposal and the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.10 shall not be a breach of this Section 5.10) or (c) furnish any information to any other Person with respect to, or agree to or otherwise enter into, any Acquisition Proposal. Seller hereby confirms that it has discontinued, and has previously directed its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to discontinue, any solicitation efforts or negotiations with respect to or in furtherance of any Acquisition Proposal. Seller shall promptly (and in any event within three Business Days after receipt thereof by Seller, any of its Affiliates or its or their Representatives) advise Purchaser orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, any request for information with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and the identity of the Person making the same. In addition, Seller agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights under Section 6.03 of the Merger Agreement as it relates to any Acquisition Proposal and shall provide Purchaser prompt notice of any notices or other information that Seller receives with respect thereto.

5.11 Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation.

(a) In order that Purchaser may have and enjoy the full benefit of the Business, Seller agrees that for a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary thereof (the “Term”), Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, (i) engage, directly or indirectly, in any Competing Business; or (ii) acquire more than 5% of the outstanding equity interests in any Business Competitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be precluded from (1) engaging in the Retained Business, and reasonably expected or foreseeable extensions of those businesses and the products developed or sold, and the services developed or provided in connection therewith; or (2) acquiring (in whole or in part), merging with or consolidating with any Person which, at the time of the parties’ agreement to enter into such transaction is not a Business Competitor.

(b) For purposes of this Section 5.11, (i) “Business Competitor” shall mean any Person that derived more than 25% of its consolidated gross revenues from a Competing Business during the four fiscal quarters prior to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries’ entering into an agreement providing for the investment in or acquisition of such Person, and (ii) “Competing Business” shall mean the business that designs, develops, manufactures, markets, sells, installs or distributes products in competition with the Business (as conducted as of the Closing).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall not restrict Seller or any of its Affiliates from acquiring and operating any Person who is a Business Competitor so long as Seller or such Affiliate divests all or the required portion of the Competing Business conducted by such Person within one year of the consummation of such transaction such that an acquisition by Seller or such Affiliate of the retained portion of the Competing Business would be permissible under the terms of the foregoing Section 5.11(a)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.11 shall not be applicable to (i) any Person or any of its Affiliates (other than Ultimate Parent and its Subsidiaries) that acquires an interest in Ultimate Parent or its Subsidiaries through any merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or other business combination (provided that such Person was not an Affiliate of Ultimate Parent or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such transaction), (ii) any Person as of and following such time that such Person ceases to be an Affiliate of Seller or (iii) the marketing, sale, installation or distribution by Seller or its Affiliates of any products which incorporate devices, components or other products of an original equipment manufacturer or other Third Party.

(d) To the extent Purchaser believes that Seller is in breach of Section 5.11(a), Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice to Seller of the operations of Seller or its Affiliates that Purchaser believes constitute a violation of Section 5.11(a) and a period of 10 days following receipt of such notice to resolve such alleged breach (the “Resolution Period”). Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such alleged breach. The senior management of the Parties, including each Party’s legal and business Representatives, shall meet (including via telephone) and attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute during the Resolution Period, it being understood that Purchaser shall have no obligation to resolve such alleged breach or to make any concessions to Seller.

(e) Seller agrees that during the Term, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to directly or indirectly (i) solicit, recruit or otherwise induce any Transferred Employee to leave or terminate his or her employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates or (ii) hire or employ any Identified Business Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a breach of this paragraph for Seller or its Affiliates to (A) conduct general, non-directed solicitation advertisements or web postings for employment or utilizing an independent employment search firm who has been instructed not to target employees of Purchaser or its Affiliates or (B) solicit, hire or employ any Transferred Employee whose employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliate has been terminated without cause (provided there was no breach of this paragraph with respect to such Transferred Employee prior to such termination); provided, however, that the preceding subsection (B) shall not apply to Identified Business Employees who do accept Purchaser’s offer of employment.

5.12 Termination of Use of Name and Marks. Seller hereby agrees that upon the Closing, Purchaser shall have the sole right to use the names and trademarks listed on Annex 2 hereto (the “Sold Marks”). Seller shall not, and shall not permit its Subsidiaries to, use any of the Sold Marks or any variation or simulation thereof in any manner in the world after the Closing, except as required by applicable Law or in connection with disclosure of historical activities of Seller and its Subsidiaries.

5.13 Excluded Litigation Liabilities. In connection with any Proceeding for which the related Liabilities constitute Excluded Litigation Liabilities, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate in the investigation and defense by Seller and its Affiliates of such Proceeding (at Seller’s cost and expense), including, (a) permitting Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives to discuss during regular business hours matters related to such Proceeding with such officers, employees, consultants and Representatives of Purchaser and its Affiliates as Seller reasonably requests, (b) permitting Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives to have reasonable access to the properties, books, records, papers and documents of Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives related to such Proceeding during regular business hours and upon prior notice to review information and documentation related to such Proceeding, (c) notifying Seller promptly of receipt by Purchaser or its Affiliates of any subpoena or other Third Party request for documents or interviews and testimony, and (d) providing to Seller copies of any documents produced by Purchaser or its Affiliates in response to or compliance with any subpoena or other Third Party request for documents.

5.14 Required Business Financial Statements.

(a) If Purchaser determines in good faith that Purchaser is required to file the financial statements of the Business with the SEC under the 1934 Act pursuant to Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X in connection with a filing made with the SEC on Form 8-K announcing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly file with the SEC a request for the SEC’s concurrence with filing certain abbreviated financial statements (such financial statements to include audited statement of revenues and direct operating expenses and an audited statement of acquired assets and liabilities) in lieu of the full financial statements otherwise required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X. Such financial statements (whether full or abbreviated) required by the SEC in response to the waiver letter are referred to herein as the “Required Business Financial Statements”; provided, that in no event shall the Required Business Financial Statements be required to include (i) any pro forma financial information or (ii) any financial statements for periods ending on or after the Closing Date or other than for the three most recently completed fiscal years of the Company (or such shorter period as may be required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X). Seller will provide such reasonable cooperation and assistance as may be required by Purchaser in connection with preparing such waiver letter. As promptly as practicable following the SEC’s response to such waiver letter, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to provide to Purchaser the Required Business Financial Statements.

(b) Following the Closing, upon Purchaser’s reasonable request therefor, Seller shall cause the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to permit Purchaser and its Representatives to contact the Company’s accountants, auditors and employees, and Seller shall, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such accountants, auditors and employees to, discuss, reasonably cooperate and provide information reasonably requested by Purchaser or its Representatives, in order for Purchaser to prepare pro forma financial statements of Purchaser that meet the requirements of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act and within the timeframe specified for Purchaser to file such financial statements on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act; provided that such discussions, cooperation and provision do not unreasonably interfere or disrupt the normal operations of the Company and such Subsidiaries (it being understood that Purchaser shall be responsible for (i) the information relating to the proposed debt and equity capitalization of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date or (ii) any information concerning the assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments to be made in such pro forma financial statements, which assumptions shall be the responsibility of Purchaser, or pro forma cost savings or other pro forma adjustments desired by Purchaser to be made in such pro forma financial statements). Seller shall, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its accountants, auditors and employees to, cooperate with Purchaser with regards to responding to any comments from the SEC on the financial statements of the Purchased Assets and the Business.

(a) Within 30 days after the date hereof, Seller may deliver an updated Section 3.5(c) of the Disclosure Schedule that sets forth a correct and complete list of Shared Contracts. A Shared Contract that is added to Section 3.5(c) of the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Section 5.15(a) is referred to herein as a “Supplemental Shared Contract.”

(b) Seller and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee, as applicable, to enter into a new Contract with the applicable Third Party to each Shared Contract, which new Contract contains the terms and conditions applicable to the Business as of the date hereof with respect to such Shared Contract.

(c) In the event a new Contract is not entered into prior to the Closing as contemplated by Section 5.15(b), from and after the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to develop a mutually agreeable arrangement (including by way of amendment or addition of services to the Transition Services Agreement) under which (i) Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations under such Shared Contract to the extent applicable to the Business, including by sub-contracting, sub-licensing, or sub-leasing to Purchaser or such Purchaser Designee (such portion of such Liabilities, the “Purchaser Portion of the Shared Contract Liabilities” and the remainder of such Liabilities under such Shared Contract, the “Seller Portion of the Shared Contract Liabilities”) or (ii) such portion of such Shared Contract

would be held, as of and from the Closing Date, by Seller or its applicable Subsidiary in trust for Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee and the covenants and obligations thereunder would be performed by Purchaser or such Purchaser Designee in Seller’s or such Subsidiary’s name and all benefits, obligations and Liabilities existing thereunder to the extent applicable to the Business would be for Purchaser’s or such Purchaser Designee’s account.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to any Supplemental Shared Contracts that involve the licensing or other use of Third Party Intellectual Property Rights that are material to the operation or conduct of the Business, in the event that the continued license or use of such Intellectual Property Rights in the operation or conduct of the Business following the Closing Date would require payment by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries of more than $2,500,000 in the aggregate during the 12 month period immediately following the Closing Date (after taking into account the availability of any enterprise licenses or similar rights then held by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries), Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith with respect to the appropriate allocation of responsibility for such costs.

5.16 Chinese JV. Within 30 days after the date hereof, Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole option, provide written notice to Seller that Purchaser does not wish to acquire the Chinese JV. If Purchaser delivers such a notice to Seller, (a) all references to the Chinese JV in Article II, Article III and Article V shall be ignored for all purposes of this Agreement, (b) the Chinese JV shall be deemed to be and Excluded Asset and (c) all Liabilities of the Chinese JV, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted or unasserted, shall be deemed to be Excluded Liabilities.

5.17 Transition Services Agreement Schedules. Within 30 days after the date hereof, Purchaser and Seller shall work together in good faith to complete the schedule to the Transition Services Agreement containing the services to be performed under the Transition Services Agreement.

(a) by mutual written consent of the Parties;

(b) by either Party by notice to the other Party if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or prior to the date which is six months following the date hereof (such later date, the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to either Party whose failure to perform in all material respects any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date; provided, further, that if the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(b) or 6.1(c) shall not have been satisfied or waived as of the Outside Date but all other conditions set forth in Article VI shall have been satisfied or

waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but provided that such conditions shall then be capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to take place on such date), then either Party may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, extend the Outside Date to the date which is nine months following the date hereof by providing the other Party written notice of such extension on or before the Outside Date;

(c) by either Party by written notice to the other Party, if (i) a final, non-appealable Order, decree or ruling enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur on the Closing Date has been issued by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction (unless such Order, decree or ruling has been withdrawn, reversed or otherwise made inapplicable) or (ii) any Law has been enacted that would make the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur on the Closing Date illegal;

(d) by Purchaser by written notice to Seller (which shall include notice of Purchaser’s intention to terminate pursuant to this Section 7.1(d)), if (i) any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be inaccurate such that the condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) would not be satisfied, or (ii) the covenants or obligations of Seller contained in this Agreement shall have been breached in any material respect such that the condition set forth in Section 6.3(b) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that if an inaccuracy or breach is curable by Seller during the 15-day period after Purchaser notifies Seller in writing of the existence of such inaccuracy or breach (the “Seller Cure Period”), then Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(d) as a result of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the expiration of the Seller Cure Period unless Seller is no longer continuing to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such inaccuracy or breach;

(e) by Seller by written notice to Purchaser (which shall include notice of Seller’s intention to terminate pursuant to this Section 7.1(e)), if (i) any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall be inaccurate such that the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) would not be satisfied, or (ii) the covenants or obligations of Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall have been breached in any material respect such that the condition set forth in Section 6.2(b) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that if an inaccuracy or breach is curable by Purchaser during the 15-day period after Seller notifies Purchaser in writing of the existence of such inaccuracy or breach (the “Purchaser Cure Period”), then Seller may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(e) as a result of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the expiration of the Purchaser Cure Period unless Purchaser is no longer continuing to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such inaccuracy or breach; or

Party to the other Party, except that the provisions of Sections 5.2(c) (Confidentiality), 5.4 (Public Disclosures) and Article IX (Miscellaneous Agreements of the Parties) of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the Parties shall remain bound by and continue to be subject to the provisions thereof.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Indemnification.

(a) Following the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliates and their respective Representatives and successors (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) from and against any Losses actually incurred or sustained by such Purchaser Indemnified Party (“Purchaser Losses”) as a proximate result of:

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in this Agreement or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.3(c);

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller herein; and

(iii) any Excluded Liabilities.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Purchaser does not provide written notice to Seller that Purchaser does not wish to acquire the Chinese JV pursuant to Section 5.16, Taxes of the Chinese JV are not Excluded Liabilities and Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any such amounts.

(b) Following the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Article VIII, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, Seller’s Affiliates and their respective Representatives and successors (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any Losses actually incurred or sustained by such Seller Indemnified Party (“Seller Losses”) as a proximate result of:

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(c);

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser herein; and

(iii) any Assumed Liabilities.

8.2 Certain Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Parties for aggregate Purchaser Losses (i) under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i) in excess of $5,500,000 (the “Cap”) or (ii) under this Agreement (other than pursuant to Sections 5.8 or 8.1(a)(iii)) in excess of an amount equal to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be obligated to indemnify Seller Indemnified Parties for aggregate Seller Losses (i) under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) in excess of the Cap; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in clause (i) shall not apply to any breaches of any Fundamental Representation or (ii) under this Agreement (other than pursuant to Sections 5.8 or 8.1(b)(iii)) in excess of an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Parties under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i), unless and until the aggregate Purchaser Losses subject to such indemnification collectively exceed $550,000 (the “Deductible”), whereupon such indemnification shall be made by Seller only with respect to the amount of such Purchaser Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the Deductible shall not apply to any breaches of any Fundamental Representation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be obligated to indemnify Seller Indemnified Parties under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i), unless and until the aggregate Seller Losses subject to such indemnification collectively exceed the Deductible, whereupon such indemnification shall be made by Purchaser only with respect to the amount of such Seller Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the Deductible shall not apply to any breaches of any Fundamental Representations.

(c) The representations and warranties of Seller and Purchaser contained in Article III and Article IV, respectively, of this Agreement shall survive the Closing and terminate on the date that is 12 months following the Closing Date; provided that the Fundamental Representations shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(d) The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a Party pursuant to Sections 8.1(a)(i) or 8.1(b)(i) shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Section 8.2(c); provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any claims as to which the Seller Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party, as the case may be, to be indemnified (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall have, before the expiration of the applicable survival period, previously made a claim by delivering a written notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim, to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) to the indemnifying Party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”).

(e) Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall, to the extent as would be required under applicable Law, take all reasonable steps to mitigate all Losses after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses which are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith.

8.3 Procedures for Third Party Claims and Excluded Liabilities.

(a) Promptly after the receipt by any Indemnified Party of a notice of any Proceeding by any Third Party that may be subject to indemnification under this Article VIII, including any Proceeding relating to any Excluded Liability or Assumed Liability, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice of such Proceeding to the Indemnifying Party, stating in reasonable detail the nature and basis of each claim made in the Proceeding and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the relevant documents received by the Indemnified Party evidencing the Proceeding and the basis for indemnification sought. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except if and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Proceeding.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against the Third Party claim upon written notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within 30 days after receipt of the particular notice from the Indemnified Party which such notice shall include Indemnifying Party’s agreement that it will provide full indemnification to the Indemnified Party for all Losses relating thereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of the Third Party claim (i) if such Third Party claim seeks as its primary remedy the imposition of an equitable remedy that is binding upon Purchaser, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, or (ii) the amount of Losses relating to such Third Party claim could be reasonably expected to exceed the amounts for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify hereunder.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party claim in accordance herewith and notified the Indemnified Party in writing thereof, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party claim, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of co-counsel for the Indemnified Party (A) if the Indemnified Party reasonably and in good faith believes that a conflict of interest exists or could arise which, under applicable principles of legal ethics could prohibit a single legal counsel from representing both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in such Proceeding or (B) during the period after such time as the Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party claim and prior to such time as the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of such Third Party claim, (ii) 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 (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party claim (other than a judgment or settlement that is solely for money damages in an amount less than the remaining balance of the limitations on indemnity set forth in Section 8.2 and is accompanied by the Indemnifying Party’s irrevocable commitment to make payment of amounts set forth in such settlement or judgment and a release

of all indemnifiable claims against the Indemnified Party) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) In the case of any Third Party claims where the Indemnifying Party reasonably believes that it would be appropriate to settle such claim using equitable remedies (i.e., remedies involving the future use of the Purchased Assets), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall work together in good faith to agree to a settlement; provided, however, that no Party shall be under any obligation to agree to any such settlement.

(e) Any payment made pursuant to the indemnification obligations arising under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent allowable under applicable Law.

(f) Any indemnity obligation under this Agreement shall be decreased by any amounts actually received by the Indemnified Party under Third Party insurance policies and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnified Party from any Third Party with respect thereto, net of any deductibles or co-payments paid by such Indemnified Party under the relevant insurance policy, any “retro-premium” obligations in connection with such Loss and any costs incurred by such Indemnified Party in procuring such payment under such policy (the “Net Insurance Proceeds”), each Party agreeing (i) to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover all available insurance proceeds and (ii) to the extent that any indemnity payment under this Agreement has been paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party prior to the receipt, directly or indirectly, by the Indemnified Party of any Net Insurance Proceeds under Third Party insurance policies on account of such Loss which duplicate, in whole or in part, the payment made by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall remit to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the amount of the Net Insurance Proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party on account of such Loss which duplicate, in whole or in part, the payment made by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under this Agreement shall be calculated net of any Tax Benefits actually realized by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates on account of such Losses or any of the circumstances giving rise thereto. If the Indemnified Party actually realizes a Tax Benefit at any time after the indemnity payment is made to it, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax Benefit. For purposes hereof, “Tax Benefit” shall mean, with respect to any applicable Losses, any cash Tax savings or refunds that are actually realized by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates in the Tax year of the respective Losses or the two immediately succeeding Tax years.

8.4 Certain Procedures. The Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party promptly of its discovery of any matter that may give rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant hereto; provided, however, that failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except if and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually

prejudiced thereby. The Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.3, in connection with any actual or threatened claims by, or actual or threatened litigation or other disputes with, third parties relating to Assumed Liabilities or Excluded Liabilities, any such claims, litigation and disputes being referred to as “claims” for purposes of this Section 8.4, to the extent such activities are permitted by applicable Law and would not result in a waiver of the attorney-client privilege, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate in the defense by the Indemnifying Party of such claim (at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense), including, (i) permitting the Indemnifying Party to discuss during regular business hours the claim with such officers, employees, consultants and Representatives of the Indemnified Party as the Indemnifying Party reasonably requests, (ii) permitting the Indemnifying Party to have reasonable access to the properties, books, records, papers, documents, plans, drawings, electronic mail, databases and computers of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates and Representatives related to the claim during regular business hours and upon prior notice to review information and documentation relative to the claim, (iii) notifying the Indemnifying Party promptly of receipt by the Indemnified Party of any subpoena or other Third Party request for documents or interviews and testimony, and (iv) providing to the Indemnifying Party copies of any documents produced by the Indemnified Party in response to or compliance with any subpoena or other Third Party request for documents.

8.5 Remedies Exclusive. Following the Closing, subject to the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 2.3 hereof, the remedies set forth in this Article VIII shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for money damages and shall be in lieu of any other remedies for money damages that may be available to the Indemnified Parties under any other agreement or pursuant to any statutory or common law (including Environmental Law) with respect to any Losses of any kind or nature incurred directly or indirectly resulting from or arising out of any of this Agreement, the Business, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Excluded Liabilities (it being understood that nothing in this Section 8.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the Parties’ rights to specific performance or other similar non-monetary equitable remedies with respect to the covenants referred to in this Agreement or the Parties’ rights under the other Transaction Documents); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit any Person’s right to seek any remedy on account of any Party’s Fraud, criminal misconduct or Willful Breach. Seller and Purchaser each hereby waive any provision of any applicable Law to the extent that it would limit or restrict the agreement contained in this Section 8.5.

9.4 Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance. The rights and remedies of the Parties shall be cumulative (and not alternative). The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled to at law or in equity, in each case without the requirement of posting any bond or other type of security.

9.5 Amendments and Waivers.

(b) No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

9.9 Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in connection with any matter based upon or arising from this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such persons and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and covenants not to assert or plead any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

9.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

9.11 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party. Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect, and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

9.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, and each of the documents, instruments and agreements delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the other Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Schedule, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

9.13 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
