In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary or reasonably required to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or any Related Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (including with respect to any Tax matters as provided in Section 5.4), each Party shall take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party may reasonably request, all at the requesting Party’s cost and expense (unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article VI).

Section 5.2 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any Party is actively contesting or defending against any Legal Proceeding in connection with (a) this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Company, the Company, Seller and Purchaser will cooperate with such Party and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available his, her or its representatives, and provide such testimony and access to his, her or its books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article VI).

From and after the Closing, Seller will, and will instruct its employees, officers, directors, managers, members, partners, equityholders, advisors, representatives and agents to, (a) treat and hold as confidential and proprietary all information concerning the Company, Purchaser and its Affiliates (other than Seller, to the extent not related to the Company) and the business and affairs of Purchaser and the Company that is not already generally available to the public (provided, that any information generally available to the public as a result of Seller’s breach of this Section 5.3 or the NDA shall not be deemed to be generally available to the public hereunder) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), (b) refrain from using any Confidential Information except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement and (c) promptly deliver to Purchaser or destroy, at the election of Purchaser, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of any Confidential Information that are in the possession or under the reasonable control of Seller or any of its employees, officers, directors, managers, members, partners, equityholders, advisors, representatives or agents. In the event that Seller (or any such other Person) is requested or required (pursuant to written or oral question or request for information or documents in any Legal Proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Person will promptly notify Purchaser of the request or requirement so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.3. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Seller (or such other Person) is, on the advice

of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal, Seller (or such other Person) may disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed to the tribunal; provided, however, that the disclosing Person shall use such Person’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request of Purchaser (and at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser), an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Purchaser shall designate. The existence and terms of this Agreement and the Related Agreements shall be deemed Confidential Information.

Section 5.4 Tax Matters.

(a) Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns. Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any required federal income Tax Return and state income Tax Returns of the Company for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review any such income Tax Returns prior to filing that are filed for the Company on a stand-alone basis and do not include income earned by Seller, and shall consider in good faith any changes to such proposed Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Purchaser. Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all other Tax Returns of the Company for all taxable periods to the extent such Tax Returns are filed or required to be filed on or after the Closing Date. If requested by Seller, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a reasonable opportunity to review each such Tax Return (to the extent such Tax Return would affect any obligation of Seller under this Agreement), and Purchaser shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments of Seller with respect to each such Tax Return and make any changes reasonably requested by Seller that are (i) in accordance with applicable Law and (ii) not inconsistent with the Company’s prior custom or practice. Any compensation deductions and other transaction costs of the Company arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Related Agreement shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, be allocated to the Tax period of the Company that begins on the day following the Closing Date, but only to the extent not (x) treated as a reduction in the Purchase Price paid to Seller pursuant to Section 1.2 or (y) paid by or on behalf of the Company on or before the Closing Date. Any other costs or deductions funded by the Company before the Closing or serving to reduce the Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Seller and be treated as relating to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (as defined below).

(b) Liability for Taxes. Promptly upon written demand from Purchaser, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all Taxes of the Company for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and for Seller’s portion (as determined pursuant to Section 5.4(c)) of all Taxes of the Company for any Straddle Period, to the extent such Taxes were not taken into account in determining the Purchase Price.

(c) Apportionment of Straddle Period Taxes. With respect to any Straddle Period, the Taxes attributable to such Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the period of the Straddle Period that begins on the first day of the Straddle Period and ends on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”), which portion shall be the responsibility of the Seller, and the period of the Straddle Period that begins on the day immediately following the Closing Date and ends on the last day of the Straddle Period (the “Post-Closing Straddle Period”), which portion, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be the responsibility of Purchaser. The portion of any Taxes allocated to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period shall (i) in the case of any property or similar ad valorem Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period; and (ii) in the case of any other Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. The portion of any Taxes allocated to the Post-Closing Straddle Period shall equal the balance of the Tax attributable to the Straddle Period.

(d) Cooperation. Purchaser and Seller shall each cooperate in all reasonable respects, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return or claim for refund or any Legal Proceeding with respect to the Company’s Taxes. Such cooperation

includes (i) promptly forwarding copies (to the extent related thereto) of (A) relevant Tax notices, forms or other communications received from or sent to any Governmental Authority relating to the Company, and (B) reasonably requested copies of all relevant Tax Returns, together with accompanying schedules and related workpapers, documents relating to rulings, audits or other Tax determinations by any Governmental Authority and records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of Company property and (ii) upon request, providing each other with the information that any Party is required to report pursuant to the Code, to the extent that the Party to whom the request is made can obtain the information through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts.

(e) Control of Audit or Tax Litigation. Purchaser shall have the right to control any Legal Proceeding regarding any Taxes of the Company. With respect to any such Legal Proceeding that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and could affect any obligation of Seller under this Agreement, Purchaser shall permit Seller, at Seller’s expense, to participate in and to review and comment on any documents in connection with such Legal Proceeding and shall take any reasonable comments into consideration prior to filing any document.

(f) Transfer Taxes. Purchaser and Seller will each prepare and file such Tax Returns as may be, respectively, required of them in connection with all excise, sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation or other similar Taxes incurred in connection with or as a result of the sale and transfer of the Membership Interests hereunder (“Transfer Taxes”) in accordance with the form of the transaction contemplated hereunder or as may otherwise be required by any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the cost of all such Transfer Taxes will be borne by Seller.

Section 5.5 Termination of Management Fee Agreement. Effective upon the Closing, that certain oral management fee agreement made between the Company and Seller on or about June 25, 2012 (the “Management Fee Agreement”), together with all rights, duties and obligations arising thereunder or with respect thereto, shall be deemed to be terminated without further action of any party thereto.

Section 5.6 Release. As of the Closing Date, Seller, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges the Company and each of its successors and assigns, of and from any and all manner of action or actions, causes of action, demands, rights, damages, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, costs, expenses, responsibilities, covenants, Contracts, controversies and claims whatsoever, whether known or unknown, of every name and nature, both in law and in equity, that each such Person or such Person’s successors or assigns ever had, now have, or hereafter may or shall have against the Company or any of its successors or assigns arising out of any matters, causes, conditions, acts, conduct, claims, circumstances or events existing at or prior to the Closing, including with respect to the Management Fee Agreement. This release shall not apply to or otherwise limit, restrict or affect the indemnification, representations, warranties, covenants and all other obligations of Purchaser and Seller set forth in this Agreement or any Related Agreement.

ARTICLE VI.

CERTAIN REMEDIES

Section 6.1 Indemnification and Escrow.

(a) Indemnification Obligations. Seller and, if and only if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, the Company (jointly and severally with Seller) agree to indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (other than Seller) and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, equityholders, Subsidiaries, employees, successors, heirs, assigns, agents and representatives (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Person”) from and against and be liable for any Damages related to or arising, directly or indirectly, out of, caused by or resulting from the following:

(i) any breach or inaccuracy, or allegation by any third party which, if true, would be a breach or inaccuracy, of any representation or warranty made by the Company or Seller in this Agreement or any Related Agreement, including the failure of any such representation or warranty to be true at the Closing as if given at the Closing (except for such representations and warranties which speak as of a particular date which representations and warranties need be true only as of such date);

(ii) any breach or nonperformance of or noncompliance with any covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement or any Related Agreement to be performed or complied with by the Company or Seller on or before the Closing or by Seller after the Closing;

(iii) any Company Closing Debt or Seller Transaction Expenses not paid or satisfied in full before the Closing or included in the determination of the Purchase Price or any errors or inaccuracies in the amounts set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement; or

(iv) the matters described on Schedule 6.1.

(b) Escrow Amount.

(i) The Escrow Amount, less any amounts that have been released to any Purchaser Indemnified Persons to compensate such Purchaser Indemnified Persons for Damages as provided in this Article VI, shall be released to Seller on the business day immediately following on the Escrow Release Date; provided, however, that a portion of the Escrow Amount that is necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied or unresolved Claims specified in a written notice delivered to Seller prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Escrow Release Date shall not be payable to Seller hereunder until final resolution of all such Claims, at which time the amount of the Escrow Amount retained in the Escrow Account to satisfy unresolved Claims shall be released to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Person(s) or Seller, as applicable.

(ii) The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.4 and 6.7, the disbursement of the Escrow Amount shall not be deemed to modify the obligations of Seller with respect to indemnification or the survival of representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or agreements or any related right to indemnification, nor shall the Escrow Amount or the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ rights to make Claims against the Escrow Amount serve as a cap on or the sole source of funds to satisfy the indemnification obligations of Seller or otherwise limit the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ remedies hereunder.

Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Notice of Claims. Any Purchaser Indemnified Person claiming indemnification hereunder (each, a “Claiming Party”) shall give to Seller (the “Responding Party”) notice (a “Claim Notice”) of any claim (each, a “Claim”) as to which such Claiming Party proposes to demand indemnification hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable after the Claiming Party has received notice thereof or otherwise becomes aware of such Claim (provided that failure to give timely notice shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Responding Party hereunder except to the extent the Responding Party demonstrates actual and material prejudice caused by the delay in giving, or failure to give, such notice).

(b) Objections to Claims; Resolution of Conflicts.

(i) The Responding Party shall have the right to object to any Claim made pursuant to Section 6.2(a) by delivering written notice of such objection (each, a “Claim Objection Notice”) to the applicable Claiming Party within ten business days following the Responding Party’s receipt of a Claim Notice (such period, the “Claim Objection Period”). The Claim Objection Notice with respect to any Claim shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for the Responding Party’s objection to such Claim. In the event that the Responding Party does not object to a Claim within the Claim Objection Period, (A) the Responding Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Claim set forth in the Claim Notice and shall be precluded from raising any objection thereto after the Claim Objection Period, and (B) the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ right to payment in respect of such Claim from the Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or otherwise in accordance with Section 6.7, as applicable, shall be effective as of the day following the expiration of the Claim Objection Period.

(ii) In the event the Responding Party timely delivers a Claim Objection Notice to the Claiming Party with respect to any particular Claim pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(i), the Claiming Party shall have ten business days after receipt of such Claim Objection Notice to respond thereto in a written statement. If after such ten business day period there remains a dispute regarding the Claim, the Claiming Party and the Responding Party shall attempt in good faith for ten business days to reach a settlement of such Claim. If such a settlement is reached with respect to such Claim, the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ right to recovery in respect of such Claim by payment of the amount of such Claim from the Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or otherwise in accordance with Section 6.7, as applicable, shall be effective as of the date of settlement. If no such settlement can be reached after good faith negotiation during such ten business day period, either the Claiming Party or the Responding Party may commence a Legal Proceeding to resolve such Claim in accordance with Section 8.8. This Section 6.2(b) shall not apply to any Legal Proceeding for, or in any way limit the rights and remedies of any Party with respect to or such Party’s right to seek, specific performance, injunctive or declaratory relief or other equitable remedies pursuant to Section 6.6 or otherwise.

(c) Third-Party Claims. If any Claim is a third-party claim (each, a “Third-Party Claim”) the following provisions shall apply:

(i) (A) The Responding Party will have the right to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim and shall diligently conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim at the expense of the Responding Party and keep the Claiming Party reasonably informed of the status of the Third-Party Claim, (B) the Claiming Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim (except that the Responding Party will be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of the Claiming Party’s counsel (but not more than one law firm per jurisdiction) if the Claiming Party reasonably determines that counsel for the Responding Party has a conflict of interest or that there may be one or more defenses available to the Claiming Party that are not available to the Responding Party) and (C) the Responding Party will not 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 Claiming Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by the Responding Party, does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Claiming Party, and includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Claiming Party of a release (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party) from all Liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Responding Party shall not be entitled to assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim if (1) the aggregate amount of potential obligations of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons in respect of such Third Party Claim exceeds the maximum indemnification obligations of the Responding Party hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim, (2) it is reasonably likely that such Third Party Claim will adversely affect the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Persons, other than as a result of monetary Damages, or (3) the Responding Party fails to provide the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Persons, upon reasonable request, with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Persons that the Responding Party has the financial resources to actively and diligently conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Responding Party fails or is not entitled to defend such Third-Party Claim as provided above, the Claiming Party may pay, settle, compromise and defend such Third-Party Claim, and the Responding Party will remain responsible for any Damages the Claiming Party may suffer to the extent resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article VI.

(ii) Any Third Party Claim relating to Taxes of the Company (or for which the Company may be liable) shall be governed by the provisions of Section 5.4 to the extent inconsistent with this Section 6.2(c).

(iii) Purchaser, the Company, Seller, the Responding Party and the Claiming Party shall cooperate with each other in the defense of any Third Party Claim and shall make available to the Party or Parties defending such Claim such materials and assistance relating thereto as is reasonably requested from such Person.

(vi) all Claims and related rights to indemnification based on or for fraud, knowing or intentional misrepresentation or breach or willful misconduct shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby indefinitely.

(c) Survival of Claims Until Final Determination. For each Claim for indemnification hereunder regarding a representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement that is made before the expiration of such representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement, such Claim and associated rights to indemnification will not terminate until the final determination and satisfaction of such Claim.

Section 6.4 Limitations.

(a) Threshold. Except as provided in Section 6.4(b), the Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) exceeds $200,000; provided, however, that if the Damages of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) exceed $200,000, then Seller will be obligated for all such Damages pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) (subject to the other express limitations set forth in this Article VI), including those equal to or less than $200,000 (such amount intended to be a threshold and not a deductible). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in determining whether the aggregate amount of Damages of all Purchaser Indemnified Persons exceeds $200,000 for purposes of this Section 6.4(a), all Damages, including Damages with respect to Claims that are not subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.4(a), shall be included in such determination.

(b) Exceptions. The limitations set forth in Section 6.4(a) shall not apply to or otherwise affect the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ ability to make Claims or recover Damages with respect to Claims based on or for (i) a breach or inaccuracy, or allegation by any third party which, if true, would be a breach or inaccuracy, of any Fundamental Representation (or any inaccuracy of the Seller Closing Certificate with respect to the same), (ii) fraud, knowing or intentional misrepresentation or breach or willful misconduct, or, for the avoidance of doubt, (iii) indemnification under Sections 6.1(a)(ii) through (iv) (the types of Claims described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, collectively, the “Excluded Claims”).

(c) Cap on Indemnification Obligations of Seller. Except as provided below, Seller’s obligations to provide indemnification under this Article VI, in the aggregate, will not exceed an amount equal to the Escrow Amount (the “Indemnification Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s obligations to provide indemnification (i)(A) under Sections 6.1(a)(ii) through (iv) and (B) for a breach or inaccuracy, or allegation by any third party which, if true, would be a breach or inaccuracy, of any Fundamental Representation other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(k) (Environmental, Health and Safety Matters) and Section 3.1(l) (Intellectual Property) (or any inaccuracy of the Seller Closing Certificate with respect to the same) will not exceed an amount, in the aggregate, equal to $26,080,000 (the “Secondary Indemnification Cap”) or (ii) for a breach or inaccuracy, or allegation by any third party which, if true, would be a breach or inaccuracy, of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.1(k) (Environmental, Health and

Safety Matters) and Section 3.1(l) (Intellectual Property) (or any inaccuracy of the Seller Closing Certificate with respect to the same) will not exceed an amount, in the aggregate, equal to $13,040,000 (the “IP/Environmental Indemnification Cap”). The Indemnification Cap, the Secondary Indemnification Cap and the IP/Environmental Indemnification Cap shall not apply to or otherwise affect the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ ability to make Claims or recover Damages with respect to fraud, knowing or intentional misrepresentation or breach or willful misconduct of Seller.

(d) Other Limitations.

(i) The amount a Purchaser Indemnified Person shall be entitled to receive from the Seller with respect to any Damages shall be reduced by and net of (A) any recovery actually received by such Purchaser Indemnified Party from any other Person with respect to such Damages (including insurance proceeds, indemnification rights, counterclaims, warranties, subrogation actions and the like, net of any costs of recovery or increased insurance costs as a result of making an insurance claim (including retroactive premium adjustments)) and (B) any cash Tax benefit actually realized by such Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Damages to the same extent as it would if such Damages were not subject to indemnification hereunder. In the event that an insurance or other third party cash recovery is actually made by Purchaser, or any of its Affiliates (other than Seller) with respect to any Damages for which any Purchaser Indemnified Person has been indemnified from the Escrow Amount, then a refund equal to the lesser of (1) the aggregate amount of the actual cash recovery (net of any costs of recovery or increased insurance costs as a result of making an insurance claim (including retroactive premium adjustments)) and (2) the amount previously disbursed to the Purchaser Indemnified Persons from the Escrow Amount in respect of such Claim shall be paid to the Escrow Agent to be held and disbursed in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (or, in the event that the Escrow Agreement has been terminated, paid to Seller).

(ii) After becoming aware of any event or occurrence that could reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification right hereunder, each Person entitled to indemnification shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate all Damages arising therefrom.

(iii) Any indemnification obligation under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such obligation constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder.

Section 6.5 Materiality Qualifiers. For purposes of this Article VI, in determining the amount of Damages arising out of, relating to or resulting from a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement, or an allegation by a third party which, if true, would be a breach or inaccuracy, of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement, all Materiality Qualifiers will be ignored and each such representation and warranty will be read and interpreted without regard to any Materiality Qualifier.

Section 6.6 Exclusive Remedy; Rights to Specific Performance.

(a) With regard to any Claims for monetary Damages related to any breach or inaccuracy, or allegation by any third party which, if true, would be a breach or inaccuracy, of the representations and warranties in this Agreement, the Claiming Party’s right to indemnification under this Article VI shall be the Claiming Party’s exclusive remedy for any such Claims (other than for Claims based on or for fraud, knowing or intentional misrepresentation or breach or willful misconduct) and the Claiming Party shall not be entitled to any other monetary remedy with regard thereto.

(b) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, a Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, without the

posting of any bond, to prevent breaches of this Agreement by another Party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity, but subject to the express limitations set forth in this Article VI.

Section 6.7 Right of Set Off; Recourse. If and to the extent that any Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, it shall obtain such indemnification first by making a claim against the Escrow Account for all or a portion of the Escrow Amount, in accordance with the procedures set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement, equal to the amount of the Damages for which such Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder. With respect to Claims other than Excluded Claims, the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ sole monetary recourse shall be to the Escrow Amount. With respect to Excluded Claims, and if and to the extent that the Escrow Amount is not sufficient to satisfy such Excluded Claims, Seller shall directly pay to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Person the amount of the Damages for which such Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.4). The forgoing notwithstanding, in the event that a Purchaser Indemnified Person is unable to recover Damages in respect of a Claim for which such Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder (after giving effect to the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Article VI) from the Escrow Account (whether because such Damages exceed the Escrow Amount then-available for payment of Claims or otherwise), each such Purchaser Indemnified Person shall have the option of recouping all or any part of any Damages to which such Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled by (a) demanding cash payment of monetary Damages from Seller or (b) withholding and offsetting against any and all payments or amounts due to Seller under this Agreement or any Related Agreement; provided, however, that such remedies are not exclusive of any other remedies the Purchaser Indemnified Persons may exercise at law or in equity to satisfy Seller’s indemnification obligations hereunder.

Section 6.8 Knowledge and Investigation; No Other Representations. All representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and indemnities of the Company or Seller contained in this Agreement and in the Related Agreements shall be deemed material and relied upon by the Purchaser Indemnified Persons, regardless of any knowledge or investigation or any representation made by any Purchaser Indemnified Person, and none will be waived by any failure to pursue any action or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder. Other than those representations and warranties made by the Company or Seller in this Agreement or any Related Agreement, the Company and Seller have not made, and the Company and Seller will not have or be subject to any Liability hereunder (except for Liability based on or for fraud) arising out of, relating to or resulting from, any other representation or warranty concerning the Company, Seller or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.9 Other Factors Not Limiting. No representation, warranty, agreement, obligation or covenant contained herein will limit the generality or applicability of any other representation, warranty, agreement, obligation or covenant unless expressly stated herein. The terms of this Article VI will be enforceable regardless of whether Liability is based on past, present or future acts, claims or legal requirements.

Section 6.10 Effect of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payment paid pursuant to this Article VI shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 6.11 Effect of Officer’s Certificates. For the avoidance of doubt, any written certification by a Person (or any officer thereof) of the accuracy of any representation or warranty (or of any other matter), including the Seller Closing Certificate and any other certification contemplated in Section 2.2 or 2.3, will be deemed to constitute the making or re-making of such representation or warranty by such Person (or a representation or warranty regarding such other matter) at the time of such certification in the manner and to the extent stated in such certification, including for purposes of Section 6.1(a).

Section 6.12 Maximum Contribution. If and to the extent any provision of this Article VI is unenforceable for any reason, Seller hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution that is permissible under Law to the payment and satisfaction of any Damages for which indemnification is provided for in this

Article VI (but subject to all limitations set forth in this Article VI applicable thereto, aggregating Damages for which contribution may be made under this Section 6.12 with Damages for which indemnification may be made under Section 6.1 for purposes of such limitations as if they referred to contribution obligations in addition to indemnification obligations).

Section 6.13 References to “Indemnification Obligations”. For purposes of this Article VI and any other provision of this Agreement, any reference to the “indemnification obligations” of Seller under this Article VI or words of like import, shall be deemed to refer to all of the obligations of Seller under Section 6.1, including the obligations to indemnify, defend, reimburse, hold harmless and pay.

The exercise of a right of termination of this Agreement is not an election of remedies.

F. In order to protect the goodwill of the Company, as a condition precedent to the obligations of Purchaser to consummate the Transaction, Seller has agreed to the restrictive covenants and other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and to induce Purchaser to consummate the Transaction and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller, Purchaser, and the Company hereby covenant and agree as follows:

Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement. As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any Person that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, such Person. A Person will be presumed to have “control” when he,

she, or it possesses the power, directly or indirectly, to direct, or cause the direction of, the management or policies of another Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, following the Closing, Purchaser and the Company will be Affiliates.

“Business Area” means the United States and any other geographic area in which the Company or any of its Affiliates conducted or were actively engaged in pursuing the Business as of immediately prior to the Closing, or at any time within the 12 months preceding the Closing.

“Competitor” means any Person that competes directly or indirectly, including through an Affiliate, with the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Business.

“Customer” means (i) any customer or client of the Company with respect to the Business at any time up to and including the Closing, and (ii) any potential customer or client of the Company with respect to the Business that was actively pursued by the Company at any time up to and including the Closing, or that Seller has or had contact with, or access to confidential information regarding with respect to the Business, at any time prior to the date hereof, by virtue of Seller’s association with the Company.

Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. Seller, Purchaser, and the Company agree that Seller, as the sole equityholder of the Company and in connection with the Transaction, has received Confidential Information. Seller acknowledges that the Confidential Information is, and will continue after the Closing to be, valuable, proprietary, confidential, and of extreme importance to the Protected Parties, and that the Protected Parties have paid substantial consideration and incurred substantial costs to acquire or develop, sort, assemble or maintain the Confidential Information. Seller agrees that the Confidential Information shall be treated as valuable, proprietary, and confidential, regardless of whether third parties would consider it valuable, proprietary, and confidential, and that Seller’s disclosure of Confidential Information to any Person or unauthorized use of any Confidential Information may cause substantial loss and harm to the Protected Parties. Seller agrees that Seller will not at any time, disclose, divulge, or make known to any Person, use, or otherwise appropriate for Seller’s own benefit or the benefit of any other Person any Confidential Information, or permit any person to examine or make copies of any documents or electronic records that contain or are derived from Confidential Information, without the prior written consent of the Company’s board of directors or similar governing body. Notwithstanding the preceding restrictions, in the event (a) Seller is requested or required to disclose Confidential Information by interrogatories, requests for information, or other documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or any other similar process and (b) Seller promptly notifies the Company in writing so that the Company has an opportunity to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement; then, if the Company fails to secure a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waives compliance with this Section 2 with respect to a specific request or requirement, Seller may disclose such Confidential Information as Seller is advised by Seller’s counsel that Seller is required to disclose. The obligations under this Section 2 are in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights or obligations, at law or in equity, to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, including under applicable “trade secret” laws.

Non-Competition. Seller, Purchaser, and the Company further agree that the market for the Business is intensely competitive and that the Protected Parties may engage in the Business throughout the entire world. Seller agrees that, during the period that begins as of the Closing and ends on the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller shall not, anywhere in the Business Area, directly or indirectly, including through any Affiliate, compete with any Protected Party with respect to the Business or own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, provide services to, or otherwise deal with, engage or participate in, or be connected as an owner, partner, principal, sales representative,

employee, or member of the board of directors of, or advisor or consultant to, any Competitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 and the restrictions set forth therein, Seller may acquire (and thereafter continue to hold) securities in a Competitor during the Restricted Period so long as both (a) such Competitor’s revenues derived from conducting business that is competitive with the Business did not constitute more than 20 percent of such Competitor’s total revenues for the 12-month period immediately preceding such acquisition, and (b) such Competitor’s revenues derived from conducting business that is competitive with the Business did not exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate for the 12-month period immediately preceding such acquisition, in each case as certified in writing to Purchaser including supporting documentation reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser prior to such acquisition (any such Competitor, an “Excluded Competitor”); provided, that, in either case, Seller is otherwise in compliance with the terms hereof and the terms of any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement then in effect between Seller and any Protected Party.

Non-Solicitation. Seller agrees that, during the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, including through any Affiliate, (a) solicit, induce, or attempt to induce any Customer to cease doing any business relating to the Business in whole or in part with any Protected Party in the Business Area; (b) attempt to limit or interfere with any agreement relating to the Business that exists (whether currently or during the Restricted Period) between any Protected Party and any Customer in the Business Area; (c) publicly or privately criticize, disparage or make any statements or remarks that have the intended or foreseeable effect of harming the reputation of any Protected Party; or (d) hire, engage, employ, solicit, take away, induce, or attempt to hire, engage, solicit, take away, or induce (either on Seller’s behalf or on behalf of any other Person), any Person who is an employee or contractor of any Protected Party or has been an employee or contractor of any Protected Party in the six months preceding any of the foregoing actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4 and the restrictions set forth therein, any action of the type described in the foregoing provisions of this Section 4 that is taken by an Excluded Competitor in which Seller owns securities, but of which Seller does not have control (as defined in the definition of “Affiliate” above), shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 4 if Seller is otherwise in compliance with the terms hereof and the terms of any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement then in effect between Seller and any Protected Party.

Injunctive Relief. The parties agree that any remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement is and will be inadequate, and in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Seller of any of the provisions of Sections 2, 3, or 4, each Protected Party shall be entitled to enforce its rights and Seller’s obligations under this Agreement not only by an action or actions for damages, but also by an action or actions for specific performance, temporary or permanent injunctive relief, or other equitable relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations or breaches (whether anticipatory, continuing, or future) of this Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting any Protected Party from pursuing any other remedies available to them for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from Seller.

Reasonableness and Enforceability of Covenants.

The parties expressly agree that the character, duration, and geographical scope of this Agreement and the restrictive covenants contained herein are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist on the date upon which this Agreement has been executed, including Seller’s material economic interest in the Transaction.

If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the covenants or agreements contained herein, or any part thereof, are unenforceable because of the character, duration, or geographic scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to reduce the character, duration, or scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to reduce the character, duration, or scope of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Seller expressly agrees to be bound by the restrictive covenants and the other agreements contained in this Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, it being the intent and spirit of the parties that the restrictive covenants and the other agreements contained herein shall be valid and enforceable in all respects and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Seller acknowledges that (i) following the Closing, the Protected Parties will be vested with the goodwill of, and will carry on, the Business; (ii) the restrictive covenants and the other agreements contained herein constitute a material inducement to Purchaser to consummate the Transaction, and Purchaser will rely on the enforceability of the restrictive covenants contained herein in consummating the Transaction; and (iii) if this Agreement were governed by California law, the Transaction would qualify as a sale (or other disposition) by Seller of all of Seller’s interest in the Company within the meaning of Section 16601 of the Business and Professions Code of California (the “BPCC”), which Section provides in relevant part as follows:

Any person who sells the goodwill of a business, or any owner of a business entity selling or otherwise disposing of all of his or her ownership interest in the business entity…may agree with the buyer to refrain from carrying on a similar business within a specified geographic area in which the business so sold, or that of the business entity, division, or subsidiary has been carried on, so long as the buyer, or any person deriving title to the goodwill or ownership interest from the buyer, carries on a like business therein.

Seller further represents, warrants and agrees that (i) Seller has been fully advised by, or has had the opportunity to be advised by, counsel in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement; (ii) Seller has read Section 16601 of the BPCC, understands its terms and agrees that, if this Agreement were governed by California law, (A) Section 16601 of the BPCC would apply in the context of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement; (B) such transactions would be within the scope and intent of Section 16601; and (C) the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement would be enforceable and excepted from Section 16600 of the BPCC; and (iii) Seller is fully bound by the restrictive covenants and the other agreements contained in this Agreement.

Legitimate Business Interest. Seller expressly agrees that the Protected Parties have a legitimate business interest justifying the restrictions contained in each of Sections 2, 3, and 4.

Severability. Without limiting Section 6(b), if any of the provisions of this Agreement shall contravene or be invalid under the laws of any jurisdiction where this Agreement is applicable but for such contravention or invalidity, such contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate all of the provisions of this Agreement but rather it shall be construed, insofar as the laws of that jurisdiction are concerned, as not containing the provision or provisions contravening or invalid under the laws of that jurisdiction, and the rights and obligations created hereby shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

Governing Law. This Agreement and any disputes or controversies arising hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts or choice of laws.

Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument duly executed by each party hereto. No breach of any covenant, agreement, warranty or

representation shall be deemed waived unless expressly waived in writing by the party who might assert such breach. No waiver of any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other right or of the same or a similar right on another occasion.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Purchase Agreement and the other Related Agreements, contains the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all of which, when taken as a whole, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any such signature page shall be effective as a counterpart signature page hereto without regard to page, document or version numbers or other identifying information thereon, which are for convenience of reference only. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or PDF signature, and a facsimile or PDF signature will constitute an original signature for all purposes.

Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof nor any of the documents executed in connection herewith may be assigned or delegated by any party hereto without the consent of the other parties; provided, however, that either Purchaser or the Company may assign its rights hereunder, without the consent of Seller, to any Affiliate or to any Person that acquires or succeeds to the Company or the Business.

Further Assurances. From time to time, at Purchaser’s or the Company’s request and without further consideration, Seller shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as is reasonably necessary or desirable to make effective, in the most expeditious manner possible, the terms of this Agreement.
