If Parent and Holdings are unable to agree on the Payment Statement following such good faith negotiations, the Payment Statement delivered by Holdings shall be used for purposes of calculating the Estimated Closing Consideration; provided that no such question, comment or disagreement raised by Parent or any of its Representatives and not incorporated into the Payment Statement shall be deemed waived and any such question, comment or disagreement may be reflected in the Parent Statement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1.5.

(e)     Payment of Estimated Closing Consideration. At or prior to the Closing, Buyer shall pay:

(i)    to Real Estate Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Amrock Inc. (provided that Parent delivers to Sellers and Real Estate Seller an insured closing letter or letters regarding Amrock Inc. from First American Title Insurance Company, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Sellers and Real Estate Seller; in the event such letter or letters are not delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the “Title Company” for purposes of this Agreement shall be First American Title Insurance Company and not Amrock Inc.) (the “Title Company”) in accordance with the applicable wiring instructions identified in the Payment Statement, an aggregate amount equal to the value as of the Closing of the Owned Real Property owned in fee simple by any Acquired Real Estate Subsidiary, as set forth in Section 1.7(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Aggregate Real Estate Seller Owned Real Property Purchase Price”) for application in accordance with the Disbursement Statements;

(iii)    to each Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the applicable wiring instructions identified in the Payment Statement, an amount, if any, equal to (1) such Seller’s Ownership Percentage, multiplied by (2) an amount equal to (A) the Estimated Closing Consideration, minus (B) the Aggregate Owned Real Property Purchase Price.

Section 1.5    Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a)     Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to Holdings a written statement (the “Parent Statement”) setting forth, in reasonable detail and with reasonable supporting information, Parent’s calculation of the Closing Consideration, including Parent’s calculation of the Closing Adjustment Amount and the components thereof. Parent shall prepare the Parent Statement in good faith and in a manner consistent with the terms of (including the definitions contained in) this Agreement. The Estimated Closing Consideration, the Final Closing Consideration, the Parent Statement and the determinations and calculations contained therein (i) shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with the terms (including the definitions) hereof and (ii) shall not be based on any facts or circumstances arising after the Closing.

5

(b)    Holdings shall have sixty (60) days from the date on which the Parent Statement is delivered to Holdings (the “Review Period”) to review the Parent Statement. During the Review Period, upon reasonable prior written notice, Parent, Buyer and the Acquired Entities shall provide Holdings and its Representatives with reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the Acquired Entities’ books and records as may be reasonably requested by Holdings and its Representatives in order to verify the information contained in the Parent Statement; provided that such access shall not unreasonably interfere with any of the businesses or operations of Parent or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities). Unless Holdings delivers written notice to Parent prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on the last day of the Review Period that it objects to any item or items shown or reflected in the Parent Statement, specifying in reasonable detail the item or items to which it objects and reasons therefor (such item or items, the “Disputed Items” and such notice, the “Dispute Notice”), then the Parent Statement shall be deemed accepted by Holdings for all purposes hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Holdings may provide a Dispute Notice on the basis that it has not been provided with adequate information or access in order to understand and evaluate the calculations on the Parent Statement. In the event Holdings delivers a Dispute Notice prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the last day of the Review Period, Holdings and Parent shall attempt in good faith to resolve each Disputed Item, and any resolution agreed by them in writing shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes of determining the payments in Section 1.5(c). In the event that, for any reason, Holdings and Parent are unable to resolve in writing each Disputed Item within fifteen (15) days (or such longer period as Parent and Holdings may agree in writing) following the delivery of the Dispute Notice, each unresolved Disputed Item shall be referred to KPMG LLP. If KPMG LLP is unwilling or unable to serve as the Independent Accountant, Holdings and Parent shall jointly select and retain a nationally recognized accounting firm that is not the auditor or independent accounting firm of any of Parent or the Seller Parties and impartial to serve as the Independent Accountant (KPMG LLP or such other accounting firm engaged in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 1.5(b), the “Independent Accountant”). If, within fifteen (15) days after the date KPMG LLP informs Holdings and Parent that it is unable or unwilling to serve as the Independent Accountant, Holdings and Parent cannot mutually agree on an alternate Person to serve as the Independent Accountant, either Holdings or Parent may request the American Arbitration Association to appoint as the Independent Accountant, within fifteen (15) days from the date of such request or as soon as practicable thereafter, a partner in a nationally recognized accounting firm that is not the auditor or independent accounting firm of any of Parent or the Seller Parties, who is a certified public accountant and who is independent of Holdings and Parent and impartial. If any Disputed Item is referred to the Independent Accountant, each of Parent, on the one hand, and Holdings, on the other hand, shall prepare separate written reports of each such Disputed Item and deliver such reports to the Independent Accountant within twenty (20) days after the date the Independent Accountant is retained. Each of Parent and Holdings shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant, acting as an expert, as soon as practicable and in any event, barring exceptional circumstances, within thirty (30) days after receiving such written reports, to determine the manner in which the Disputed Items shall be treated in the Parent Statement; provided, however, that the dollar amount of each Disputed Item shall be determined within the range of dollar amounts proposed by Parent, on the one hand, and Holdings, on the other hand. Parent and Sellers acknowledge and agree that (i) the review by and determination of the Independent Accountant shall be limited only to the Disputed Items contained in the reports

6

prepared and submitted to the Independent Accountant by Parent and Holdings and (ii) the determinations by the Independent Accountant shall be based solely on (1) such reports submitted by Parent and Holdings and the basis for Parent’s and Holdings’ respective positions and (2) the terms of (including the definitions contained in) this Agreement. Neither of Parent nor Holdings shall authorize the Independent Accountant to modify or amend any term or provision hereof or modify items previously agreed in writing between Parent and Holdings. Parent and Holdings each agree to enter into an engagement letter with the Independent Accountant containing customary terms and conditions for this type of engagement. Each of Parent and Holdings shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and provide information and documentation, including work papers, to assist the Independent Accountant. Any such information or documentation provided by any Party to the Independent Accountant shall be concurrently delivered to the other Party, subject, in the case of independent accountant work papers, to such other Party entering into a customary confidentiality and release agreement with respect thereto. Neither Parent nor Holdings shall disclose to the Independent Accountant, and the Independent Accountant shall not consider for any purposes, any settlement discussions or settlement offers made by any of the Parties related to any Disputed Item. The determinations by the Independent Accountant as to the Disputed Items shall be in writing and shall be an expert determination that is final, binding and conclusive for all purposes of determining the adjustments in Section 1.5(c), if any, and such determination may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated between Parent, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, based on the percentage which the portion of all Disputed Items submitted to the Independent Accountant that are not resolved in favor of Sellers bears to the amount of all Disputed Items submitted to the Independent Accountant. As an illustrative example, if Disputed Items asserting that the Closing Consideration should be increased by $1,000 are submitted to the Independent Accountant, and the Independent Accountant finally determines that the Closing Consideration should be increased by $300, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated 70% (i.e., $700/$1000) to Sellers and 30% (i.e., $300/$1000) to Parent.

(c)     Post-Closing Adjustment Amount.

(i)    If the Closing Consideration, as finally determined under Section 1.5(b) (the “Final Closing Consideration”), exceeds the Estimated Closing Consideration, then within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5(b), Parent shall cause Buyer to pay to each Seller an amount in cash equal to (1) such Seller’s Ownership Percentage, multiplied by (2) such excess, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the applicable wiring instructions identified in the Payment Statement.

(ii)    If the Estimated Closing Consideration exceeds the Final Closing Consideration, then within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5(b), Sellers shall, jointly and severally, pay to Buyer an aggregate amount in cash equal to such excess, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions delivered to Seller in writing by Buyer.

7

(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any payment pursuant to this Section 1.5(c) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Estimated Closing Consideration for all Income Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 1.6    Withholding. Each of Parent, Buyer and the Seller Parties shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable hereunder such amounts as Parent, Buyer or the Seller Parties shall determine in good faith are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Law. Any amounts so deducted and withheld and, if required, timely remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Except as a result of the failure to provide the IRS Form W-9 or certificate, as applicable, required under Section 1.3(a)(iv) or Section 1.3(a)(v), if Parent or Buyer determines that it is required to so deduct or withhold, Parent or Buyer, as applicable, shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify the applicable Seller Parties of its intent to deduct or withhold and shall reasonably cooperate with such Seller Parties in good faith to reduce or mitigate such withholding.

Section 1.7    Purchase Price Allocation.

(a)     On or before the date that is forty-five (45) days after the date that the Final Closing Consideration is finally determined pursuant to Section 1.5, solely for Tax purposes, Holdings shall deliver to Parent a proposed allocation of the Final Closing Consideration (including any liabilities that are deemed assumed by Buyer for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes) among the assets of the Acquired Entities and the restrictive covenants provided in the Key Persons Agreement in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and the methodologies for determining fair market value reflected in Section 1.7(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (such allocation, “Sellers’ Allocation”). If Parent disagrees with Sellers’ Allocation, Parent may, within twenty (20) days after delivery of Sellers’ Allocation, deliver a notice (“Parent’s Allocation Notice”) to Holdings to such effect, specifying those items as to which Parent disagrees and setting forth Parent’s proposed allocation. If Parent’s Allocation Notice is duly delivered, Parent and Holdings shall, during the fifteen (15) days following such delivery, work together in good faith to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation of the Final Closing Consideration (including any liabilities that are deemed assumed by Buyer for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes). If Holdings and Parent are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter submit for resolution the items remaining in dispute to the Independent Accountant and shall instruct the Independent Accountant to make a written determination consistent with Section 1.7(a) regarding such dispute as promptly as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which such dispute is referred to the Independent Accountant (or such longer period as the Independent Accountant may reasonably require). The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated between Parent, on one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to or not included in an allocation determined by the Independent Accountant for each party bears to the amount actually contested by the Parties in the aggregate, as determined by the Independent Accountant. Subject to the preceding sentence, the allocation, as prepared by Holdings if no Parent’s Allocation Notice has been timely given, as adjusted pursuant to any agreement between Holdings and Parent, or as determined by the Independent Accountant (the “Allocation”), shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties.

8

(b)    To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent, Buyer and Sellers agree to (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) report, act and file in accordance with the Allocation in any relevant Tax Returns or Tax filings and to cooperate in the preparation of any such Tax forms. The Parties shall promptly advise one another of the existence of any Tax proceeding related to the Allocation. None of the Parties shall take any position with respect to Taxes (whether on any Tax Returns, in any Tax proceeding or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Allocation except to the extent required by applicable Law or otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law).

Section 3.5    Claims; Orders. There is no material Claim pending (or, to Parent’s Knowledge, threatened) against Parent or Buyer, and there is no material Order outstanding against Parent or Buyer or to which Parent or Buyer are subject, in each case, that would or would reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on Parent’s or Buyer’s ability to comply with their respective covenants or agreements hereunder or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 3.6    Financing. Parent and Buyer have on the date hereof sufficient funds (or commitments for all such funds), and at Closing will have sufficient funds, required in order to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, on the terms hereof and pay the related fees and expenses. Concurrently with the Parties’ execution and delivery hereof, Parent delivered to Holdings a true, complete and correct copy of the executed commitment letter, together with all schedules, annexes, attachments and exhibits thereto, from Credit Suisse Loan Funding LLC, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities, LLC and

34

▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association (each of the foregoing financial institutions, together with any of its designated affiliates of similar creditworthiness, collectively, the “Lenders”), dated as of the date hereof (the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which the Lenders have committed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to provide debt financing (the “Financing”) to Parent in the amounts described therein for the purposes of funding the transactions contemplated hereby and the related fees and expenses. As of the date hereof, the Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and has not been withdrawn or terminated or otherwise amended, supplemented or modified in any respect. The Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, Buyer and, to Parent’s Knowledge, the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as limited by the Bankruptcy and Equitable Exceptions. Other than the Commitment Letter, there is no agreement, side letter or arrangement relating to the Financing that could adversely affect the conditionality of the Financing, and the Commitment Letter contains all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the parties thereunder to make the Financing available to Parent on the terms therein. Other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter and in any related fee letters (of which Parent has delivered true and complete copies, redacted to remove fee amounts and other economic terms, to Holdings on or prior to the date hereof), there are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements relating to the Financing that could affect the amount or availability of the Financing. The Commitment Letter is not subject to any contingency or condition of any kind whatsoever, including any subsequent approval process, related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter (including any “flex” provisions or similar provisions affecting the structure, pricing, maturity, amortization or any other terms) other than as set forth in the executed copies thereof attached hereto and in the related fee letters provided in connection therewith. As of the date hereof, assuming that the representations and warranties in Article II are true and correct in all material respects, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would (i) constitute a default or breach of Parent or Buyer, or, to Parent’s Knowledge, of any other party thereto, under any term or condition of the Commitment Letter; (ii) make any of the assumptions or any of the statements set forth in the Commitment Letter inaccurate in any material respect; (iii) result in any of the conditions to the funding of the Financing on the Closing Date in the Commitment Letter not being satisfied; or (iv) otherwise result in or would reasonably be expected to result in any portion of the Financing not being available to Parent on the Closing Date. As of the date hereof, no party to the Commitment Letter has notified Parent or Buyer of its intention to terminate the Commitment Letter or not to provide the Financing. Assuming satisfaction of the conditions in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2, as of the date hereof, neither Parent nor Buyer has reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy, on a timely basis, any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it with respect to the Commitment Letter or that the full amount of the Financing will not be available as of the Closing. As of the date hereof, Parent has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Commitment Letter (or any related fee letter or engagement letter) to be paid on or before the date hereof. Neither the Commitment Letter nor any related fee letter or engagement letter contains any commitment fee or other fee payable by the Seller Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates prior to Closing. The aggregate proceeds from the Financing constitute all of the financing required to be provided by Parent for the consummation of the transactions hereby on the Closing Date, and are sufficient for the satisfaction of all of Parent’s obligations under this Agreement, including the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby on the Closing Date and payment of the related fees and expenses.

35

Section 3.7    Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, investment banker’s, finder’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based on arrangements made, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, except for any such fee or commission payable solely by Parent, Buyer or their respective Affiliates.

Section 3.8    Solvency. Assuming that the representations and warranties in Article II are true and correct in all material respects, the transactions contemplated hereby (including any financings to be undertaken in connection therewith) will not, as of immediately following Closing, render the Company or any Company Subsidiary insolvent, such that (i) the Company or any Company Subsidiary will have incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature or become due, (ii) the then present fair saleable value of the assets of the Company and each Company Subsidiary will not exceed the amount that will be required to pay its probable liabilities (including the probable amount of all contingent liabilities) and its debts as they become absolute and matured, (iii) the assets of each Company or any Company Subsidiary, in each case at a fair valuation, will not exceed its respective debts (including the probable amount of all contingent liabilities) or (iv) the Company or any Company Subsidiary will have unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as presently conducted or as proposed to be conducted. No transfer of property is being made and no obligation is being incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

Section 3.9    Purchase for Investment. Buyer is purchasing the Purchased Interests for investment for its own account and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Buyer (either alone or together with its advisors) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Purchased Interests and is capable of bearing the economic risks of such investment.

Section 3.10    Independent Investigation; Non-Reliance on Extra-Contractual Representations, Warranties, Assurances, Inducements or other Actions or Omissions.

 (a)    Each of Parent and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it has conducted its own inquiry and independent investigation of the financial condition, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the Acquired Real Estate Subsidiaries and after such investigation confirms that the express representations and warranties set forth herein are the sole representations and warranties on which each of Parent and Buyer is relying in making its determination to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and each of Parent and Buyer is relying solely on such express representations and warranties of the Seller Parties expressly contained herein.

 (b)    Each of Parent and Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in Article II (and the Seller Disclosure Schedule), (i) neither the

36

Company, the Company Subsidiaries, the Acquired Real Estate Subsidiaries nor the Seller Parties make any express or implied warranty of any kind whatsoever, at law or in equity, including in respect of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or the Acquired Real Estate Subsidiaries or any of the their respective businesses, assets, liabilities, operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise), including with respect to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose or the physical condition or value of any assets, the nature or extent of any liabilities, the profitability, earnings performance or prospects of the business of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or the Acquired Real Estate Subsidiaries, the effectiveness or the success of any operations or the accuracy or completeness of any confidential information memoranda, documents, projections, material or other information (financial or otherwise) regarding the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or the Acquired Real Estate Subsidiaries furnished to Parent, Buyer or their Representatives or made available to Parent, Buyer or their Representatives, including through or in any management presentation, data room (including any electronic data sharing or information exchange website or media) or email or in any other form in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions hereby, or in respect of any other matter or thing whatsoever, (ii) no representations or warranties are made, or have been made, by the Seller Parties, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, the Acquired Real Estate Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives (including for the sake of clarity, their respective officers, managers, members, employees or agents) with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any information or materials distributed by or on behalf of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, the Acquired Real Estate Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives, and none of them shall have any liability of any nature to Parent or Buyer arising out of the use of any such information and (iii) each of Parent and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any estimates, forecasts or projections furnished or made available to it concerning the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or the Acquired Real Estate Subsidiaries (including in the contents of the confidential information memorandum, any management presentation and in any data room or diligence materials) regarding its properties, business or assets may not have been prepared in accordance with GAAP or standards applicable under the Securities Act, and such estimates, and the estimates reflected in the Financial Statements and the Monthly Financial Statements, reflect numerous assumptions and are subject to material risks and uncertainties.

For the period beginning on the Closing Date and continuing thereafter for twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide, or shall cause its Affiliates or the Company, as applicable, to provide Continuing Employees with (i) compensation, including annual base salary, wage levels, commission rates, component pay opportunities and incentive pay opportunities (excluding long-term incentive, deferred compensation and target annual cash incentive opportunities), that are at least equal to those provided to each such Continuing Employee by the Company, the Seller Parties or an Affiliate thereof on the Closing Date, (ii) long-term incentive opportunities that are the same as those provided by Parent to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates as of the Closing Date, (iii) target annual cash incentive opportunities that are at least equal to those provided to each such Continuing Employee by the Company, the Seller Parties or an Affiliate thereof on the Closing Date, and (iv) employee benefits, including employee health, welfare and retirement benefits and fringe benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to such employee benefits provided to each such Continuing Employee by the Company, the Seller Parties or an Affiliate thereof on the Closing Date, excluding, for all purposes of this clause (iv), the value of any defined benefit pension plan benefits, discretionary matching contributions made under retirement plans maintained by the Seller Parties or their respective Affiliates (for purposes of clarity, the matching contribution under the ▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings 401(k) Thrift Plan equal to 50% up to the first 10% of pay shall in no event be considered discretionary and, therefore, is not excludable for purposes of this clause (iv) as a discretionary matching contribution) and retiree medical benefits to the extent such plans are offered or provided for by Parent or its Affiliates; provided, however, that, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the right of Parent, any of its Affiliates or the Company to (x) terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee at any time or (y) change or modify any employee benefit plan or arrangement in accordance with their terms. During the Continuation Period, Parent shall provide or cause its Affiliate to provide, severance benefits to all Continuing Employees who are involuntarily terminated without “cause” or who resign for “good reason.” Such severance benefits shall be the same as the severance benefits provided by the Parent to its employees. For purposes of this Section 4.5(b), “cause” shall mean a violation of company policy, dishonesty, violation of standards of integrity, violation of Law that could impact Parent or its Affiliates, or a willful and deliberate failure to perform employment duties, and “good reason” shall mean (A) a reduction of an employee’s compensation or benefits in contravention of this Section 4.5(b), or (B) the change of the facility or office location to which such employee is expected to commute to perform his or her services to a facility or location that is a distance of twenty-five (25) miles or greater from the employee’s then-current facility or office location; provided that permitting or requiring an employee to work virtually from his or her personal residence (or other location of his or her choice) shall in no event constitute “good reason.” Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, Parent shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, comply with the compensation and benefits requirements of any Collective Bargaining Agreement.

45

(c)    Parent Plans; Service Crediting. For eligibility, vesting, and accrual purposes under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Affiliates that are offered and that provide benefits to Continuing Employees after the Closing Date (the “Parent Plans”), each Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service or comparable experience with the Seller Parties and its Affiliates before the Closing Date to the same extent as such employee was entitled before the Closing Date to credit for such service under any similar Seller Plan, except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits or for purposes of any defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical plan, to the extent such plans are offered or provided for by Parent or its Affiliates, if any. For purposes of each Parent Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, to the extent such Continuing Employee satisfied participation requirements and waiting period requirements under comparable Seller Plans, Parent shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Parent Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, and all eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents under the comparable Seller Plans during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs shall be taken into account under such Parent Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Parent Plan subject to all applicable terms and conditions relating to such benefits or amounts.

(d)    401(k) Plan. At least one business day prior to the Closing Date, the Seller Parties will take all actions necessary to amend any existing tax-qualified defined contribution savings plan in which Continuing Employees participate in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Code in order to permit (to the extent administratively feasible) the rollover of any of outstanding loan balances into a tax-qualified defined contribution savings plan maintained by the Parent (or one of its Affiliates) (“Parent Tax-Qualified Plan”). Parent shall maintain, or cause one of its Affiliates to maintain, as of the Closing Date, the Parent Tax-Qualified Plan in which the Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate. Parent shall permit each Continuing Employee to effect a direct rollover (as described in Section 401(a)(31) of the Code, including, to the extent administratively feasible, any outstanding loans) of all of any such Continuing Employee’s balance under any existing tax-qualified defined contribution savings plan (including after-tax employee contributions) in which such Continuing Employees participate, to the Parent Tax-Qualified Plan, subject to the terms and conditions of such plan.

(e)    FSA Plans. Effective as of the Closing, to the extent administratively feasible, the Seller Parties shall transfer from the medical and dependent care flexible spending account plans of the Seller Parties and their respective Affiliates (each, a “Seller FSA Plan”) to one (1) or more medical and dependent care flexible spending account plans established or designated by Parent (the “Parent FSA Plan”), the account balances (positive or negative) of the Continuing Employees, and Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, provide benefits to the Continuing Employees under the Parent FSA Plan with respect to such transferred account balances on and after the Closing Date. Each Continuing Employee shall continue to have payroll deductions made under the Parent FSA Plan as elected by him or her for the current plan year under the applicable Seller FSA Plan.

46

(f)     Assumed Incentive Amount. Effective as of the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, assume all unpaid compensation, including annual cash bonuses, unpaid driver component pay, unpaid commissions and unpaid incentive pay, credited for and in respect of the Continuing Employees as of the Closing and accrued on the Company’s balance sheet as of the Closing (the “Assumed Incentive Amount”). Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, pay to the Continuing Employees the Assumed Incentive Amount, subject to such conditions as otherwise would be applicable to the payment thereof and payable at such time as such amounts would have been paid to the Continuing Employees under the applicable Seller Plan.

(g)    Assumed Paid Time Off. From and after the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, assume, recognize and credit paid time off that is earned but unused by each applicable Continuing Employee prior to the Closing in accordance with the applicable paid time off policy of the Seller Parties or their respective Affiliates and accrued on the Company’s balance sheet as of the Closing (the “Assumed Paid Time Off”).

(h)    Assumed and Retained Liabilities. Effective as of the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, assume all Liabilities arising out of or related to the employment or termination of employment of the employees of the Acquired Entities (whether arising pre- or post-Closing) and any Liabilities with respect to Continuing Employees, former employees of the Acquired Entities, and former RFM Employees.

(i)     Welfare Benefits and Workers’ Compensation. Parent shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, assume all Liabilities arising out of or related to the medical, dental, vision, prescription drug and short-term disability plans, and the workers’ compensation program, with respect to all Continuing Employees, former employees of the Acquired Entities, and former RFM Employees. As of the Closing Date, the health coverage of all former RFM Employees and former employees of the Acquired Entities who are continuing coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) shall be transferred to Parent or its Affiliate. Any former RFM Employee or former employee of the Acquired Entities who is within the COBRA election period and who elects COBRA shall have his or her COBRA continuation coverage provided by Parent or its Affiliate. Effective as of the Closing, the Seller Parties and their respective Affiliates shall cease to have any Liabilities arising out of or related to the employment or termination of employment of any current or former employee or service provider of the Acquired Entities or former RFM Employee, except for any Liabilities under the Seller Plans that are not transferred to the Company, Parent, or an Affiliate of Parent.

(j)     Payroll Taxes. The Acquired Entities shall remain responsible, both before and after Closing, for purposes of payroll taxes with respect to their employees.

(k)    Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to give effect to the provisions set forth in this Section 4.5. Without limiting the foregoing, in order to secure an orderly and effective transition of employee benefit arrangements for Continuing Employees and their respective beneficiaries and dependents, the Seller Parties and Parent, and their respective Affiliates, shall cooperate, both before and after the Closing Date, and subject to applicable Law and the TSA, regarding the exchange of information related to the Continuing Employees, including employment records and benefits information.

47

  (l)     No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Section 4.5 shall be treated as an amendment of, an undertaking to amend or terminate, or a limitation on the ability of Parent or its Affiliates to amend or terminate any employee benefit plan (including any Company Plan). Nothing herein shall require Parent to continue to employ the services of any particular individual following the Closing Date. No provision hereof shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee or any other natural person service provider of any Acquired Entity or any beneficiary or dependents thereof for the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and benefits that may be provided.

 (m)    Transfer of RFM Employees. Prior to the Closing, the Seller Parties shall cause an offer of employment to be extended by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Transportation, LLC to each of the RFM Employees. The Seller Parties shall use good faith efforts to cause each such RFM Employee to become an employee of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Transportation, LLC on substantially the same terms and conditions of employment as apply to such RFM Employee as of the date hereof.

 Section 4.6    Publicity; Confidentiality. None of the Parties or any of their Representatives shall issue any press release or make any public announcement or comment concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written consent of the other Parties, unless (i) any such release, announcement or comment is reasonably necessary to comply with such Party’s obligations under applicable Law or under the rules of any national securities exchange on which any security of such Party or any of its Affiliates is listed; provided that, to the extent so required by applicable Law, the Party intending to make such release, announcement or comment shall use reasonable efforts consistent with applicable Law to consult with the other Parties in advance of such release, and (ii) any such press release, announcement or comment is consistent with any release, announcement or comment already made in compliance with this Section 4.6. Each Party agrees that this Agreement and the terms and conditions hereof, and any other agreement entered into in connection herewith and the terms and conditions thereof, shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed or otherwise made available to any other Person and that copies hereof and of such other agreements shall not be publicly filed or otherwise made available to the public, except where such disclosure, filing or availability is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable Law or the rules of any national securities exchange on which any security of such Party or any of its Affiliates is listed.

 Section 4.7    Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a)    From and after the Closing, Parent shall cause each Acquired Entity to fulfill and honor in all respects its obligations under any indemnification provision, any exculpation provision and any provision regarding the advancement of expenses in the Organizational Documents as in effect on the date hereof, and Parent shall cause each Acquired Entity to perform its obligations thereunder. Parent shall not permit any such indemnification or exculpation provision to be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Company Indemnified Persons thereunder, unless any such amendment, repeal or modification is required by applicable Law.

(b)    At or prior to the Closing, the Company, at its sole cost and expense, shall be permitted to obtain a prepaid “tail” policy that provides the Company Indemnified Persons with directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for a period ending no earlier than the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Closing Date.

48

(d)    The Company Indemnified Persons are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4.7, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto.

 Section 4.8    Termination of Related-Party Transactions; Lien Releases.

(a)    Except for any Related-Party Transaction listed in Section 4.8(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and any Continuing Credit Support Arrangement, (i) at or prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause to be terminated all Related-Party Transactions and shall cause each Acquired Entity to be released from all Liabilities under each Related-Party Transaction (including all Liabilities arising under the Seller Credit Agreement), whether arising prior to, at or after the Closing, in each case, to be effective at or prior to the Closing, and (ii) the Seller Parties shall deliver to Parent written evidence thereof, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent.

(b)    In furtherance of, and without limiting the Seller Parties’ respective covenants and agreements under Section 4.8(a), at or prior to the Closing, the Seller Parties shall cause to be terminated all Liens on any assets of the Acquired Entities or the Purchased Interests arising under the Seller Credit Agreement and shall cause all such assets and the Purchased Interests to be released from all Liabilities under such Liens, and Holdings shall deliver to Parent written evidence thereof, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent.

 Section 4.9    Financing.

(a)    Subject to Section 4.9(f), Parent acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the Closing Date, the Seller Parties and their respective Representatives have no responsibility for any financing that Parent may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of Parent and the Seller Parties acknowledge and agree that Parent’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is not subject to any financing condition.

(b)    Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and consummate the Financing so that the funds contemplated thereby are available on

49

or prior to the Closing Date, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) comply with its obligations under the Commitment Letter and any definitive agreements related thereto (collectively, the “Financing Documents”), (ii) maintain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms the applicable Financing Documents, (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing on the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter (including any “flex” provisions in any related fee letter), so that such agreements are in effect as promptly as practicable but in any event no later than the Closing Date, (iv) satisfy as promptly as practicable and on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent contained in the applicable Financing Documents (other than those conditions that by its terms will be satisfied on the Closing Date), including the payment of any commitment, engagement or placement fees required as a condition to the Financing (including the fee letters with respect to the Commitment Letter), so that the Financing will be able to be consummated no later than the Closing Date, (v) enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter in the event of a breach by the lenders under the Commitment Letter or any related agreement or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing that may impede or delay the Closing, including seeking specific performance of the parties thereunder, and (vi) in the event that all conditions to the funding of the Financing under the Commitment Letter have been satisfied, consummate the Financing no later than the Closing Date. Parent shall keep Holdings reasonably informed of material developments in respect of the Financing and, upon the written request of Holdings, shall provide Holdings with drafts (when available) of material Financing Documents.

(c)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall give Holdings prompt notice (i) of any breach or default (or any event that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Financing Document (including the Commitment Letter) of which Parent becomes aware, (ii) of the receipt or delivery of any written notice or other written communication, in each case from any Person with respect to (1) any actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Document (including the Commitment Letter) or (2) any material dispute or disagreement between or among parties to any Financing Document (including the Commitment Letter) with respect to the obligation to fund the Financing or the amount of the Financing to be funded at the Closing or any other event or condition that could reasonably be expected to cause a condition to the Commitment Letter not to be satisfied or (iii) if at any time for any reason Parent believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Commitment Letter; provided that in no event will Parent be under any obligation to disclose any information pursuant to this Section 4.9(c) that is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege if Parent shall have used its reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege. Parent shall promptly provide any information reasonably requested by Holdings relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of Holdings, Parent shall not amend, replace, supplement or otherwise modify, or waive any of its rights under, the Commitment Letter, and/or substitute other debt or equity financing for all or any portion of the Financing from the same and/or alternative financing sources to the extent that any such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of any provision of the Commitment Letter would

50

(i) change the amounts to be funded under the Financing (including by changing the amount of original issue discount) from that contemplated in the Commitment Letter and related “flex provisions” of the fee letter relating to the Commitment Letter (such that the aggregate funds that would be available to Parent on the Closing Date would not be sufficient to provide the funds required to be funded on the Closing Date to consummate the transactions contemplated herein and related fees and expenses), (ii) amend the conditions precedent or contingencies to the Financing as set forth in the Commitment Letter in a manner that makes it less likely the Financing will be funded on the Closing Date or impose new or additional conditions or expands any existing condition to the receipt of the Financing, (iii) otherwise expand, amend, modify or waive any provision of the Commitment Letter in a manner that in any such case would reasonably be expected to (A) delay or make less likely the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the funding of the Financing) on the Closing Date or otherwise prevent or impair the transactions contemplated hereby in any material respect or (B) adversely affect the ability of Parent to timely consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or (iv) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letter; provided, however, that Parent may replace or amend the Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof. In such event, the term Commitment Letter as used herein shall be deemed to include any new commitment letters entered into in accordance with this Section 4.9(d) and the term “Financing” as used herein shall be deemed to include any substitute debt or equity financing obtained in accordance with this Section 4.9(d), as applicable.

(e)    If any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, Parent shall (i) promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) notify Holdings of such unavailability, expiration or termination and the reasons therefor, (ii) as promptly as practicable use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing (the “Alternative Financing”) (which Alternative Financing shall have terms and conditions (including fees and the “flex” provisions) not less favorable in any material respect than those set forth in the Commitment Letter (in the reasonable judgment of Parent) and in an aggregate amount such that Parent will have on the Closing Date sufficient funds to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on the Closing Date and related fees and expenses) to replace any unavailable portion of the Financing, to be consummated no later than the day on which the Closing shall occur pursuant to Section 1.2, (iii) provide to Holdings true, correct and complete copies of the commitment letter and related fee letter (redacted to remove fee amounts and other economic terms) relating to such Alternative Financing to replace the Financing and (iv) keep Holdings reasonably informed of material developments in respect of the process of obtaining such Alternative Financing. In the event any Alternative Financing is obtained, all references herein to the “Financing” shall be deemed to include such Alternative Financing and all references herein to the “Commitment Letter” shall include the applicable commitment letter for the Alternative Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, compliance by Parent with this Section 4.9(e) shall not relieve Parent or Buyer of their obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not the Financing is available.

(f)    Prior to the Closing, the Seller Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to provide to Parent, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Acquired Entities

51

and their respective Representatives to, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, provide to Parent such cooperation that may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (or any debt and equity financing contemplated in lieu thereof) to the extent such cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the business of the Seller Parties, which cooperation may consist of the following: (i) reasonable and customary assistance with marketing efforts and diligence related to the Financing, including inventory appraisals and field audits with respect to the Acquired Entities; (ii) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, delivery to Parent and the Financing Sources of documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act and regulation with respect to beneficial ownership; (iii) furnishing Parent and the Financing Sources with the Required Information; (iv) using reasonable best efforts to cause its independent auditors to cooperate with the Financing consistent with their customary practice, including by providing customary “comfort letters” (including customary negative assurances) and customary assistance with the due diligence activities of Parent and the Financing Sources (including by participating in a reasonable number of accounting due diligence sessions), and requesting their customary consents to the inclusion of audit reports in any relevant marketing materials, including SEC filings and registration statements; and (v) providing reasonable and customary assistance to Parent and the Financing Sources in the preparation by Parent of offering documents, prospectuses, registration statements, syndication documents and materials, including bank information memoranda (confidential and public), private placement memoranda, offering memoranda, ratings agency presentations and similar documents in connection with the Financing, and in each case, providing reasonable and customary authorization letters to the Financing Sources authorizing the distribution of information relating to the Acquired Entities to prospective lenders and other financing sources; provided that such authorization letters shall only contain a customary “10b-5” certification and not any other representations, warranties or indemnities with respect to such information. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.9 to the contrary, neither the Seller Parties, the Acquired Entities nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to (A) pay any commitment fee or similar fee or incur any liability (or cause their respective managers, members, officers or employees to incur any liability, in each case, in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing), (B) approve or enter into any agreement or binding commitment in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing (other than customary authorization letters described above), (C) provide (or to have any of their respective Representatives provide) any certificates, opinions or representations, in each case, with respect to or in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing or (D) provide, or cause to be provided, any information or take, or cause to be taken, any action to the extent it would result in a violation of applicable Law, any confidentiality obligation binding on Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, managers, members, directors or employees or loss of any attorney-client privilege, in each case, with respect to or in connection with the Financing.

(g)    Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Seller Parties, reimburse the Seller Parties or the Acquired Entities, as applicable, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Seller Parties or the Acquired Entities, as applicable, and their respective Representatives in connection with such cooperation at the request of Parent. Parent and Buyer shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Parties, the Acquired Entities, their respective Affiliates and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses

52

(including attorneys’ fees), interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with the Financing or other securities offering of or on behalf of the Seller Parties, Acquired Entities, Parent or Buyer, including as to any information utilized in connection therewith to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and with appropriate contribution provided by Parent and Buyer to the extent such indemnification is not available, except to the extent arising from an actual fraud by a Seller Party (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, equitable fraud, promissory fraud, unfair dealings fraud or any torts, including fraud, based on negligence, gross negligence or recklessness) in connection with such cooperation or any information provided in connection therewith. The Acquired Entities hereby consent to the use of their logos in connection with the Financing; provided, however, that logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Acquired Entities or the reputation or goodwill of the Acquired Entities or any of their respective Intellectual Property rights.

(h)    At Parent’s cost and expense, (i) promptly following the date hereof, one (1) or more of the Seller Parties shall engage the Chicago office of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited for the purposes of preparing (1) audited combined balance sheets of NewCo as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 and the related combined statements of earnings, comprehensive income and cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, including notes to such financial statements and (2) any other audited financial statements that are Required Information, in each case in accordance with GAAP (collectively, the “Audited Financial Statements”) and (ii) the Seller Parties shall facilitate such audit review, and perform the work necessary for the preparation and completion of the Audited Financial Statements as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof. Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or the Acquired Real Estate Subsidiaries or their Representatives in connection with the foregoing.

(i)    Promptly following the completion of the audits described in Section 4.9(h), Holdings shall deliver to Parent the Audited Financial Statements.

(b)    If, prior to the Closing, Holdings and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Entities) have not been fully released under any Credit Support Arrangement described in Section 4.11(a) (such Credit Support Arrangement, a “Continuing Credit Support Arrangement”), then, following the Closing, Parent shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain the full release of Holdings and its applicable Affiliates (including by taking the actions described in Section 4.11(a)(ii)) until such release is obtained and shall not take any action that would extend the existing term of such Continuing Credit Support Arrangement beyond the date on which it would otherwise expire; provided that, except as provided in Section 4.11(a)(ii), neither Parent nor any of its Representatives shall be required to make, or commit or agree to make, any concession or payment to, or incur any Liability to, any Third Party to obtain any such release.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.12(c) shall not apply with respect to any proceeds of any Post-Signing Casualty Claim attributable to the business interruption (to the extent attributable to the period prior to the Closing) occasioned by the damaged asset that is the subject of such Post-Signing Casualty Claim and any such proceeds shall be for the account of the applicable Seller Parties.

Section 4.18    Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation; Nonassertion of Attorney-Client Privilege.

(a)    Buyer waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause the Acquired Entities to waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Representation”) of the Seller Parties or any member, manager, officer, employee, manager or director of any Seller Party or any Acquired Entity (any such Person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated thereby, including any litigation or other dispute proceeding between or among Parent, Buyer, the Acquired Entities or any of their respective Affiliates, by Winston & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or any other legal counsel currently representing the Seller Parties in connection with this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated thereby (whether or not such legal counsel also

57

represented the Seller Parties) (the “Current Representation”), even though the interests of such Designated Person may be directly adverse to Parent, Buyer, any Acquired Entity or any of their respective Affiliates.

(b)    It is the intention of the Parties that all rights to any attorney-client privilege applicable to communications between Winston & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP and any other legal counsel currently representing the Acquired Entities in connection with the Current Representation (whether or not such legal counsel also represented the Seller Parties) shall be retained solely by the Seller Parties (and not the Acquired Entities); provided that the foregoing waiver and acknowledgement of retention shall not extend to any communication to the extent not involving this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated thereby. Accordingly, from and after the Closing, the Acquired Entities shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Winston & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or any other legal counsel currently representing the Acquired Entities (whether or not such legal counsel also represented the Seller Parties) in connection with the Current Representation, in each case, to the extent such communications are not otherwise in the possession of the Acquired Entities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) the Seller Parties and their respective Affiliates shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Current Representation, and the Acquired Entities shall not be holders thereof and (ii) to the extent that files of Winston & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or any other legal counsel currently representing the Acquired Entities in connection with the Current Representation (whether or not such legal counsel also represented the Seller Parties) constitute property of a client with respect to the Current Representation, only the Seller Parties and their respective Affiliates shall hold such property rights; provided, however, that (1) in the event that, after the Closing, a dispute arises between Parent, Buyer or any Acquired Entity, on the one hand, and a Third Party, on the other hand, then, subject to Section 4.18(d), Parent, Buyer or any Acquired Entity, as applicable, may assert the attorney-client privilege or other applicable privilege or protection to prevent disclosure of such communications to such Third Party and (2) in the event that, after the Closing, a dispute arises between Parent, Buyer or any Acquired Entity, on the one hand, and the Seller Parties or any of their Representatives, on the other hand, nothing in this Section 4.18 shall prohibit Parent, Buyer or any Acquired Entity, from seeking discovery of any such communication to the extent Parent, Buyer or any Acquired Entity establishes that such privilege or protection has previously been waived as to third parties.

(c)    Parent and Buyer agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of each of their Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Entities), that in the event of a dispute between the Seller Parties or an Affiliate of thereof, on the one hand, and any Acquired Entity, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to any matter in which Winston & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or any other legal counsel currently representing the Acquired Entities in connection with the Current Representation jointly represented both (i) the Seller Parties and (ii) the Acquired Entities, if applicable, neither the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence, nor any right to any other evidentiary privilege or any work product doctrine will protect against or prevent disclosure by Winston & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or any other legal counsel currently representing any of the Acquired Entities in connection with the Current Representation to the Seller Parties or any Affiliate thereof of any information or documents developed or shared during the course of any such joint representation.

58

(d)    In the event that any third party shall seek to obtain from Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Entities) attorney-client communications involving Winston & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or any other legal counsel currently representing the Acquired Entities in connection with the Current Representation, then Buyer shall notify the Seller Parties of such application sufficiently in advance of any hearing on the application to permit the Seller Parties to participate in any such proceedings.

(a)    Prior to the Closing, Sellers and Holdings shall consummate the Pre-Closing Reorganization in the manner described in Exhibit A, or in a manner substantially similar thereto; provided that Sellers and Holdings shall obtain the consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if any alteration in the consummation of the Pre-Closing Reorganization from the transactions described in Exhibit A could reasonably be expected to adversely impact Parent (or any of its Affiliates, including the Acquired Entities).

(b)    The Seller Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, (i) reasonably consult with Parent regarding the Pre-Closing Reorganization, (ii) provide Parent with all information related to the Pre-Closing Reorganization as reasonably requested by Parent and (iii) otherwise keep Parent reasonably informed of the status of the Pre-Closing Reorganization, including providing reasonably prompt oral and written notice of all material developments related thereto.

(c)    Prior to the Closing, the Seller Parties shall (i) amend, terminate or take such other action with respect to the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2009 (as amended, the “Securitization Facility”) to permit the Company to retain all right, title and interest in and to the accounts receivable of the Acquired Entities that would otherwise be subject to the Securitization Facility, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), including all Liens under the Securitization Facility, and (ii) cause ▇▇▇▇▇ Funding, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Funding Company”), to assign, convey, deliver and transfer to the Company all right, title and interest in and to all bank accounts that are in the name of Funding Company and which relate to the collection of the Acquired Entities’ accounts receivable.

Parent shall reimburse the Seller Parties, on an as-invoiced basis and not more frequently than monthly, for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with any such request.

The Shawano Project has commenced, but is not, as of the date hereof, completed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Sellers shall cause, and shall be permitted to cause Lone Oak – Shawano, L.L.C. to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, the Shawano Project to be constructed in the ordinary course of business substantially in accordance with the Shawano Plans and the Shawano Budget, including entering into commercially reasonable contracts and undertaking commercially reasonable obligations related to the construction of the Shawano Project and paying for work and services performed and materials delivered in furtherance of the Shawano Project. In no event shall Parent’s prior approval with respect to such construction be required, except neither Sellers nor any of the Acquired Entities shall, without Parent’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (a) increase the total cost of the Shawano Project, as set forth in the Shawano Budget, by more than 5% in the aggregate (a “Material Price Increase”) or (b) materially and adversely alter the scope of the Shawano Project as reflected in the Shawano Plans (a “Material Scope Change”). Sellers shall keep Parent reasonably apprised of the progress of the Shawano Project, including any changes, other than de minimis changes, to the Shawano Plans and the Shawano Budget, even if Parent’s prior approval of such changes is not required, and provide Parent with all information concerning the Shawano Project as Parent may reasonably request. Upon receipt of written notice seeking Parent’s approval of any Material Price Increase or Material Scope Change, Parent shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof to, in writing, either approve the requested Material Price Increase or Material Scope Change or reject the same. If Parent rejects the same, Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any Acquried Entity to, to consummate such Material Price Increase or Material Scope Change, as applicable. If Parent does not deliver any such writing within such ten (10) Business Day period, Parent shall be deemed to have approved the Material Price Increase or Material Scope Change.

 (ii)    (1) all of the conditions in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 have been satisfied, except for any condition that by its nature is to be satisfied at the Closing (provided that such condition would be capable of being satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such termination), (2) Holdings has irrevocably confirmed by written notice to Parent that (A) the conditions in Section 5.3 have been satisfied or duly waived by Holdings, except for any condition that by its nature is to be satisfied at the Closing (provided that such condition would be capable of being satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such termination), (B) the Seller Parties are ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing and (C) if Parent and Buyer take all actions required hereby to consummate the Closing, the Seller Parties shall take all actions required hereby to consummate the Closing (such notice, a “Closing Failure Notice”) and (3) Parent and Buyer fail to consummate the Closing within three (3) Business Days following the later of (A) delivery of the Closing Failure Notice and (B) the date on which the Closing should have occurred under Section 1.2 (the occurrence of the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3), a “Parent Closing Failure”).

Section 6.2    Effect of Termination; Procedure for Termination. This Agreement may be terminated only under Section 6.1. In order to terminate this Agreement under Section 6.1, the Party desiring to terminate this Agreement shall give written notice of such termination to the other Parties under Section 9.8, specifying the provision hereof under which such termination is effected. If this Agreement is terminated under Section 6.1, this Agreement shall immediately become void and of no effect, and no Party shall have any further Liability,

65

whether arising before, at or after such termination, that may be based on, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, except that (a) this Section 6.2, Section 4.9(g), Section 6.3, Article IX and the Confidentiality Agreements, and the Parties’ Liabilities thereunder, shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and (b) except as provided, and subject to the limitations, in Section 6.3(c), no such termination shall relieve any Party from Liability for any Actual Fraud or any Willful Breach occurring prior to such termination.

 Section 6.3    Termination Fees.

(a)    If Holdings terminates this Agreement pursuant to (i) Section 6.1(d)(i) or (ii) Section 6.1(d)(ii), in each case, Parent shall pay to Holdings a fee of $100,000,000 in cash (the “Parent Breach Termination Fee”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Seller Wiring Instructions, no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination.

(b)    If either Parent or Holdings terminates this Agreement under Section 6.1(b)(i) or Section 6.1(b)(ii) (but only if the applicable Legal Restraint relates to the HSR Clearance) and, at the time of such termination, all of the conditions in Article V have been satisfied or duly waived by all Parties entitled to the benefit thereof, except for (i) the condition in Section 5.1(a), (ii) the condition in Section 5.1(b) (but only if the applicable Legal Restraint relates to the HSR Clearance), (iii) the condition in Section 5.2(d) or (iv) any other condition that by its nature is to be satisfied at the Closing (provided that such condition would be capable of being satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such termination), Parent shall pay to Holdings a fee of $80,000,000 in cash (the “Parent Antitrust Termination Fee” and, together with the Parent Breach Termination Fee, the “Parent Termination Fees”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Seller Wiring Instructions, no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including Section 6.2), if this Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which Parent is required to pay a Parent Termination Fee, other than the Seller Parties’ right to payment of the Reimbursable Expenses, (i) seeking and obtaining Parent’s payment of such Parent Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller Parties and their respective Representatives for any Claims or Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller Parties or any of their respective Representatives that may be based on, arise out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) other than the obligation to pay such Parent Termination Fee, Parent, Buyer and their respective Representatives shall have no further Liability that may be based on, arise out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) none of the Seller Parties or any of their respective Representatives shall have, and the Seller Parties, on behalf of themselves and their respective Representatives, expressly waive and relinquish, any other right, remedy or recourse (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity) that may be based on, arise out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iv) the maximum aggregate Liability of Parent and its Representatives to the Seller Parties and their respective Representatives that may be based on, arise out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall not exceed such Parent Termination Fee and, subject to

66

Section 6.3(d), none of the Seller Parties or any of their respective Representatives shall seek to recover monetary damages in excess of such amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including Section 6.2), in no event (1) shall Parent be required to pay to Holdings any Parent Termination Fee more than once or (2) shall Parent be required to pay to Holdings more than one (1) Parent Termination Fee.

(d)    The covenants and agreements under this Section 6.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and without such covenants and agreements, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Parent fails to pay a Parent Termination Fee when due pursuant to this Section 6.3, then Parent shall pay Holdings interest on such overdue amount from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. Each Party further acknowledges and agrees that, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that the payment of any Parent Termination Fee is not a penalty but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Parties and their respective Affiliates in the circumstances in which such Parent Termination Fee is payable, for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision; provided that nothing in this sentence shall limit the rights of any Seller Party under Section 9.5, Section 9.6 or otherwise with respect to Reimbursable Expenses.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

The Parties’ respective representations and warranties herein, and their respective covenants and agreements hereunder to the extent requiring performance prior to or at the Closing, shall survive the Closing until, and all Claims related thereto shall terminate on, the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, except that the representations and warranties in Section 2.5 shall survive the Closing until, and all Claims related thereto shall terminate on, the date that is six (6) years after the Closing Date. The Parties’ respective covenants and agreements to the extent requiring performance after the Closing hereunder shall survive the Closing until, and all Claims related thereto shall terminate on, the date provided in such covenants and agreements, if any, or, if no such date is provided, until the date on which they are performed or complied with in accordance with their respective terms, except that the Seller Parties’ covenant under Section 7.2(a)(iii) shall terminate on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Claim Notice for a Claim for indemnification under Section 7.2 has been delivered under Section 7.4 prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period under this Section 7.1, the Claim that is the subject of such Claim Notice shall survive until such Claim is finally and fully resolved in accordance with the terms hereof. Nothing in this Section 7.1 shall limit any Liability for, or any Party’s right or ability to bring a Claim after any such survival period for, Actual Fraud.

67

 (a)    From and after the Closing, subject to the other provisions of this Article VII, the Seller Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Parent and its Representatives (including the Acquired Entities) (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Persons”) for, and defend and hold the Parent Indemnified Persons harmless from and against, any and all Losses actually suffered, paid or incurred by the Parent Indemnified Persons (including, after the Closing, any Acquired Entity) to the extent arising from or related to any of the following:

(i)      any failure of the representations and warranties in Article II to be true and correct as of the date hereof or as of the Closing as if made anew as of the Closing, in each case, read without giving effect to any exception, limitation or qualifier therein as to materiality, “material,” “in all material respects” or “Material Adverse Effect” (except for the No Scrape Representations and the terms “Material Contract” and “Material Environmental Permit”) (any such failure, a “Seller Rep Breach”), except for any Seller Rep Breach arising as a result of any Claim instituted after the date hereof (1) that is substantially similar in nature, scope and amount to the Claims set forth in Item 1 of Section 2.12(b)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and (2) for which a reserve is included as a current liability in Net Working Capital;

(ii)     any breach of any covenant or agreement of any Seller Party hereunder;

(iii)    (1) any Indemnified Taxes and (2) any Indemnified Escheat Liabilities;

(iv)    any Unpaid Transaction Expenses to the extent not included in the calculation of the Final Closing Consideration; and

 (b)    From and after the Closing, subject to the other provisions of this Article VII, Parent shall indemnify the Seller Parties and their respective Representatives (excluding the Acquired Entities) (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) for, and defend and hold the Seller Indemnified Persons harmless from and against, any and all Losses actually suffered, paid or incurred by the Seller Indemnified Persons to the extent arising from or related to any of the following:

(i)      any failure of the representations and warranties in Article III to be true and correct as of the date hereof or as of the Closing as if made anew as of the Closing, in each case, read without giving effect to any exception, limitation or qualifier therein as to materiality, “material” or “in all material respects” (any such failure, a “Parent Rep Breach”); and

(ii)     any breach of any covenant or agreement of Parent or Buyer hereunder.

68

Section 7.3    Limitations.

 (a)    The Seller Parties shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons for any individual Claim or group of related Claims with respect to any Losses until the aggregate amount of Losses that otherwise would be payable pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) with respect to such Claim or group of related Claims exceeds $50,000 (the “Per Claim Threshold”), it being understood that any such individual Claim or group of related Claims for amounts less than the Per Claim Threshold shall be ignored in determining whether the Deductible has been exceeded.

 (b)    Except for Actual Fraud or any Seller Rep Breach arising from or related to any Seller Fundamental Representation or any Seller Tax Representation, the Seller Parties shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons (i) under Section 7.2(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Seller Parties are obligated to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons under Section 7.2(a)(i) collectively exceeds $10,000,000 (the “Deductible”), at which point the Seller Parties shall indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons for all such Losses in excess of the Deductible (subject to Section 7.3(c) and the other provisions of this Article VII) or (ii) under Section 7.2(a)(iii)(2) until the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Seller Parties are obligated to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons under Section 7.2(a)(iii)(2) exceeds $2,000,000, at which point the Seller Parties shall indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons for 50% of all such Losses in excess of such amount (subject to Section 7.3(c) and the other provisions of this Article VII).

 (c)    Except for Actual Fraud, the Seller Parties’ liability to the Parent Indemnified Persons under Section 7.2(a)(i) (including with respect to any Seller Rep Breach arising from any Seller Fundamental Representation or any Seller Tax Representation) and Section 7.2(a)(iii) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, $10,000,000.

Section 7.4    Indemnification Procedures.

 (a)    Any Person seeking indemnification under Section 7.2 (each, an “Indemnified Person”) shall assert any Claim for indemnification, including any Third-Party Claim, by delivering written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) in accordance with Section 9.8 to the Party from which indemnification is sought under Section 7.2 (the “Indemnifying Party”). Each Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Claim and the amount of any Losses arising therefrom (to the extent known) and attach copies of all material written evidence thereof that the Indemnified Person has received from any Person that is not a Party or a Person that is an Affiliate of a Party (a “Third Party”) to the date of the Claim Notice. Such Claim Notice shall be delivered to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt by the Indemnified Person of any written evidence from a Third Party with respect to a Third-Party Claim or after the Indemnified Person becomes aware of any other Claim for indemnification hereunder; provided that failure to give any such Claim Notice on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

 (b)    Upon receipt by an Indemnifying Party of a Claim Notice for a Claim brought by a Third Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled

69

to (i) assume and have sole control over the defense and investigation of such Third-Party Claim at its sole cost and expense (subject to the last sentence of this Section 7.4(b)) and with counsel of its own choosing if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Person within thirty (30) days after the delivery of such Claim Notice by the Indemnified Person and (ii) negotiate a settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of an Order related to, such Claim; provided that, if (1) such settlement, compromise or consent does not include a full and unconditional waiver and release by such Third Party of all applicable Indemnified Persons for all Losses related to such Third-Party Claim, or (2) such settlement, compromise or consent imposes a Lien on any of the assets of any such Indemnified Person, such settlement, compromise or consent shall be permitted only with the prior written consent of such Indemnified Person (whether or not such Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such Third-Party Claim), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense and investigation of any such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) such defense and investigation with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party at such Indemnified Person’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Person, there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) legal counsel to the Indemnified Person (but only to the extent such fees and expenses constitute Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is otherwise obligated to provide indemnification for under Section 7.2 and, in any event, subject to the limitations contained in this Article VII).

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.4(b), the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense or investigation of any Third-Party Claim that (i) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against an Indemnified Person, (ii) involves an allegation that an Indemnified Person committed a criminal act or (iii) would reasonably be expected to result in Losses to all applicable Indemnified Persons which, taken with other then-existing Losses for which such Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Article VII, would exceed the then-remaining limit of liability of such Indemnified Person under Section 7.3 by more than 50%. If, within thirty (30) days after delivery by an Indemnified Person of any Claim Notice related to a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party (1) (A) notifies such Indemnified Person in writing that the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend and investigate such Third-Party Claim or (B) fails to deliver to the Indemnified Person a written election to assume the defense and investigation of such Third-Party Claim or (2) is not entitled to assume the defense or investigation of such Third-Party Claim, then (I) such Indemnified Person may, at its option, defend, investigate, settle or compromise, or consent to an entry of an Order related to, such Third-Party Claim; provided that any such settlement, compromise or consent shall be permitted only with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (whether or not the Indemnifying Party is an actual or potential party to such Third-Party Claim), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (II) the Indemnifying Party may participate in (but not control) any such defense and investigation at its sole cost and expense.

70

 (d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.4 to the contrary, Article VIII shall govern for purposes of any Third-Party Claim that is a Tax Claim.

Section 7.5    Losses; Mitigation.

 (a)    The amount of any and all Losses of an Indemnified Person that is indemnifiable under this Article VII shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by such Indemnified Person under any insurance policy or any indemnity, contribution or reimbursement arrangement or Contract under which such Indemnified Person has rights to recovery related to such Losses (in each case, except for the R&W Insurance Policy). If an Indemnified Person recovers any such amounts, then such Indemnified Person will, without duplication, promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid to the Indemnified Person by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Losses, plus the amount received by the Indemnified Person in respect thereof, minus (ii) the full amount of the Losses.

 (b)    Except to the extent related to Taxes, each Indemnified Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Loss that is indemnifiable under this Article VII, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to make claims, or otherwise seek recovery, under any insurance policy, or any indemnity, contribution or reimbursement arrangement or Contract, in each case, under which such Indemnified Person has rights to recovery related to such Losses provided, however, that neither Parent nor any of its Representatives shall be required to make any claim, or otherwise seek recovery, under the R&W Insurance Policy.

 (c)    The amount of Losses indemnifiable under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i) shall be determined without giving effect to any exception, limitation or qualifier as to materiality, “material,” “in all material respects” or “Material Adverse Effect” in any representation or warranty in Article II or Article III.

 (d)    The Parent Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to recover or make a Claim against the Seller Parties under Section 7.2(a) for any Loss (and no such Loss shall be aggregated for purposes of Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b)) to the extent such Loss is taken into account in determining the Final Closing Consideration.

Section 7.6    Exclusive Remedy; Release; Actual Fraud.

 (a)    Without limiting any of Parent’s or its Representatives’ rights under the R&W Insurance Policy, from and after the Closing, the provisions of Section 1.5, this Article VII, Section 9.5 with respect to any covenant or agreement hereunder that survives the Closing under Section 7.1) and the TSA (such provisions, collectively, the “Remedy Provisions”) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Claim (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity) that may be based on, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or any other agreement or document contemplated hereby (including the negotiation, execution, performance or subject matter hereof or thereof) or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any Losses alleged to be suffered by any Party, any Parent Indemnified Person or any Seller Indemnified Person as a

71

result of the actions or failure to act by any Party in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby. In furtherance of the foregoing, effective from and after the Closing, and without limiting any Party’s rights under the Remedy Provisions, (i) Parent, on behalf of itself and its Representatives, hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the Seller Parties and their respective Representatives, whether in any individual, corporate or any other capacity, from and against any and all other rights, Claims and causes of action it may have against the Seller Parties or their respective Representatives relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter hereof or any other agreement or document contemplated hereby or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including whether arising under or based upon any Law or otherwise, and (ii) the Seller Parties, on behalf of themselves and their respective Representatives, hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, Parent and its Representatives, whether in any individual, corporate or any other capacity, from and against any and all other rights, Claims and causes of action it may have against Parent or its Representatives relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter hereof or any other agreement or document contemplated hereby or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including whether arising under or based upon any Law or otherwise. The provisions herein relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on the Indemnified Persons’ remedies with respect to this Agreement and any other agreement or document contemplated hereby and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including Section 7.3 and this Section 7.6) were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Seller Parties hereunder. No Indemnified Person may avoid the limitations on liability set forth in this Article VII by seeking Losses for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability.

 (b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein, including in Article II or Article III or otherwise in this Article VII, shall limit any Party’s Liability for, or any Party’s right or ability to bring a Claim (whether under this Article VII or otherwise) for, Actual Fraud.

Section 7.7    Adjustments for Tax Purposes. The Parties agree that any indemnification payments made hereunder shall be treated for Income Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Final Closing Consideration to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 7.8    Indemnified Escheat Liabilities.

 (a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.4, if, after the Closing Date, a Party receives notice of any audit, demand, claim, proposed adjustment, assessment, examination or other administrative or court proceeding (an “Escheat Claim”) with respect (in whole or in part) to any Indemnified Escheat Liabilities, such Party shall provide a copy of such document to the potentially indemnifying Party within twenty (20) days of receipt; provided, however, that no failure or delay on the part of the Party entitled to indemnification to give such notice shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of the indemnifying Party hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. Any information provided or obtained under this paragraph shall be kept confidential, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of return or other document relating to escheat or unclaimed property, refund claims, or any Escheat Claim, or as required by applicable Law.

72

(b)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.8(c), Parent or Buyer shall have the sole right to control the conduct and resolution of any Escheat Claim relating solely to any Acquired Entity; provided, however, in the case of an Escheat Claim (or any portion thereof) for which the resolution thereof could reasonably be expected to result in an Indemnified Escheat Liability for which the Seller Parties are liable under Section 7.2(a)(iii), (i) Holdings may, at the expense of the Seller Parties, participate in the defense of any such Escheat Claim and (ii) Parent shall not, and shall not allow the Acquired Entity to, settle or otherwise resolve any such Escheat Claim without the prior written consent of Holdings (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such settlement or other resolution could reasonably be expected to materially increase the escheat or unclaimed property liability of the Seller Parties or any of its Affiliates for any period prior to the Closing Date.

(c)    With respect to any Escheat Claim relating both to an Acquired Entity, on the one hand, and any Seller Party or an Affiliate thereof, on the other hand, the Party that would bear the burden of the greatest portion of the Liability shall, at its own expense, have the right to control the conduct of such Escheat Claim (the “Escheat Controlling Party”); provided that (i) the Escheat Controlling Party shall provide the other Parties hereto (the “Escheat Non-Controlling Party”) with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Escheat Claim, (ii) the Escheat Non-Controlling Party shall have the right to participate in such Escheat Claim at its own cost, (iii) the Escheat Controlling Party shall consult with the Escheat Non-Controlling Party before taking any significant action in connection with such Escheat Claim, (iv) the Escheat Controlling Party shall consult with the Escheat Non-Controlling Party and offer the Escheat Non-Controlling Party an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Escheat Claim, (v) the Escheat Controlling Party shall defend such Escheat Claim diligently and in good faith as if it were the only party in interest in connection with such Escheat Claim and (vi) the Escheat Controlling Party shall not, and shall not allow its Affiliates to, settle or otherwise resolve any such Escheat Claim without the prior written consent of the Escheat Non-Controlling Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such settlement or abandonment could have an adverse impact on the Escheat Non-Controlling Party or any of its direct or indirect owners; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this clause (c), Holdings shall act as the Escheat Controlling Party or the Escheat Non-Controlling Party, as the case may be, on behalf of the Seller Parties, and Parent shall act as the Escheat Controlling Party or the Escheat Non-Controlling Party on behalf of Parent and Buyer.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions contained in Section 8.5 shall apply mutatis mutandis to Indemnified Escheat Liabilities.

73

ARTICLE VIII

TAX MATTERS

Section 8.1    Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns.

 (a)    Holdings shall prepare or cause to be prepared all (i) Income Tax Returns for the Acquired Entities in respect of any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and due after the date hereof and (ii) all other Tax Returns for the Acquired Entities required to be filed after the date hereof but on or prior to the Closing Date (each such Tax Return described in the preceding clause (i) and clause (ii), a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”). Each Pre-Closing Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Acquired Entities’ respective past practices. Holdings shall timely file, or cause to be timely filed, all Pre-Closing Tax Returns that are required under applicable Law to be filed (taking into account applicable extensions) on or before the Closing Date. Holdings shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Parent all Pre-Closing Tax Returns that are required to be filed by the Acquired Entities after the Closing Date at least ten (10) days prior to the due date for filing such Pre-Closing Tax Returns (taking into account applicable extensions) and Parent shall timely file or cause to be timely filed all such Pre-Closing Tax Returns. With respect to any such Pre-Closing Tax Return, Holdings shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments of Parent that are provided by Parent to Holdings at least five (5) days prior to the due date for filing such Pre-Closing Tax Return (taking into account applicable extensions).

 (b)    Parent shall, except to the extent any Tax Returns are the responsibility of Holdings under Section 8.1(a), prepare and timely file all other Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Acquired Entities. Any such Tax Return for a taxable period beginning before the Closing Date shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Acquired Entities’ respective past practices, and shall be submitted to Holdings for its review and comment not less than ten (10) days (in the case of any Income Tax Return), or five (5) days (in the case of any Non-Income Tax Return), prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return (taking into account applicable extensions). Parent shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments of Holdings that are provided by Holdings to Parent at least five (5) days (in the case of any Income Tax Return), or three (3) days (in the case of any Non-Income Tax Return), prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (taking into account applicable extensions).

 (c)    

(i)    Upon the written request of Parent setting forth the amount owed with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Return or other Tax Return for a taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, the Seller Parties shall pay to Parent, no later than three (3) days prior to the due date (taking into account applicable extensions) for the applicable Pre-Closing Tax Return or other Tax Return for a taxable period beginning before the Closing Date (or the date on which such Parent request was received, whichever is later), an amount equal to the Indemnified Taxes for which the Seller Parties are liable pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iii). No failure or delay of Parent in providing such a Tax Return for Holdings’ review and comment shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of the Seller Parties hereunder except to the extent the Seller Parties are actually and materially prejudiced by such failure or delay (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

74

(ii)    No later than three (3) days after the filing of any Pre-Closing Tax Return or other Tax Return for a taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Parent shall (1) provide the Seller Parties with a calculation of the excess of (A) the sum of (x) any Taxes that have previously been paid by the Seller Parties and (y) any Taxes specifically included as a liability in the calculation of the Net Working Capital, as finally determined under Section 1.5, and that resulted in an actual reduction of the Final Closing Consideration, in each case, that are shown as due on such Tax Return over (B) the total Tax liability reflected on such Tax Return actually filed, and (2) pay to Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective Ownership Percentages, the amount described in the preceding clause (1).

 (d)    Parent shall not, and shall not allow any Acquired Entity to initiate (or agree to) any Seller Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Holdings (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 8.2    Straddle Periods. For purposes hereof, in the case of any Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that is allocable to the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period shall:

 (a)    in the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis for a Straddle Period, the amounts that are attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period;

 (b)    in the case of Taxes in the form of interest or penalties, all such Taxes shall be treated as attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent relating to a Tax for a Pre-Closing Tax Period whether such items are incurred, accrued, assessed or similarly charged on, before or after the Closing Date;

 (c)    in the case of Taxes imposed on an Acquired Entity, Buyer or Parent or any of their respective Affiliates as a result of income of any entity, plan or arrangement treated as a partnership or disregarded entity for Tax purposes (a “Flow-Thru Entity”) realized prior to the Closing Date (such income being computed, except as provided in Section 8.8, assuming the Flow-Thru Entity had a year that ends on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and elected to close its books), such Taxes shall be treated as Taxes of the Acquired Entities for a Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes imposed or assessed pursuant to Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code in respect of or relating to any “reviewed year” (within the meaning of Section 6225(d)(1) of the Code), or portion thereof, that falls within a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be treated as Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period; and

75

 (d)    in the case of all other Taxes for a Straddle Period (including Income Taxes, franchise/capital Taxes, employment Taxes, sales and use Taxes and withholding Taxes) the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Acquired Entities filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending as of the end of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology;” provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and the period beginning on the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period.

Section 8.3    Tax Refunds. All refunds of Taxes payable by an Acquired Entity for any Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent paid by the Acquired Entity prior to the Closing or specifically included as a liability in the calculation of Net Working Capital (as finally adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5) or of Taxes for which a Seller Party has indemnified the Parent Indemnified Persons under Section 7.2 (whether in the form of cash received or a credit against Taxes otherwise payable) shall be the property of Sellers. Parent shall pay or cause to be paid any such Tax refund to Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective Ownership Percentages, within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (without interest, except for interest received from a Taxing Authority), net of any Taxes imposed on such refund and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that Parent, Buyer, the Acquired Entities or any of their Affiliates directly incur (or shall directly incur) for their receipt of such Tax refund (and related interest). Any other Tax refunds related to any Acquired Entity shall be for the sole account of Parent and Buyer. Nothing in this Section 8.3 shall require that Parent, Buyer or any of their Affiliates make any payment with respect to any refund for a Tax (and such refunds shall be for the benefit of Parent and Buyer) that is with respect to (a) any refund of Tax that is the result of the carrying back of any net operating loss or other Tax attribute or Tax credit incurred in a Post-Closing Tax Period; or (b) any refund of a Tax to the extent that it gives rise to a payment obligation by Parent, Buyer, the Acquired Entities or any of their Affiliates after the Closing Date to any Person under applicable Law or pursuant to a provision of a contract or other agreement entered (or assumed) by an Acquired Entity on or prior to the Closing Date.

Section 8.4    Contests Related to Taxes.

 (a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.4, if, after the Closing Date, a Party receives notice of any audit, demand, claim, proposed adjustment, assessment, examination or other administrative or court proceeding (a “Tax Claim”) with respect (in whole or in part) to any Indemnified Taxes, such Party shall provide a copy of such document to the potentially indemnifying Party within twenty (20) days of receipt; provided, however, that no failure or delay on the part of the Party entitled to indemnification to give such notice shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of the indemnifying Party hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. Any information provided or obtained under this paragraph shall be kept confidential, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of a Tax Return, refund claims, or any Tax Claim, or as required by applicable Law.

76

 (b)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.4(c) with respect to Tax Claims relating to a Flow-Through Tax Return, Parent or Buyer shall have the sole right to control the conduct and resolution of any Tax Claim of any Acquired Entity; provided, however, that, in the case of a Tax Claim (or any portion thereof) relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date of any Acquired Entity for which the resolution thereof could reasonably be expected to result in an Indemnified Tax for which the Seller Parties are liable under Section 7.2(a)(iii), (i) Holdings may, at the expense of the Seller Parties, participate in the defense of any such Tax Claim and (ii) Parent shall not, and shall not allow the Acquired Entity to, settle or otherwise resolve any such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of Holdings (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such settlement or other resolution could reasonably be expected to materially increase the Tax liability of the Seller Parties or any of its Affiliates for any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

 (c)    With respect to any Tax Claims relating to a Flow-Through Tax Return, Holdings shall have the sole right to control the conduct and resolution of any such Tax Claim of any Acquired Entity; provided, however, that, in the case of a Tax Claim (or any portion thereof) relating a Flow-Through Tax Return for which an election under Section 6221(b) or 6226 of the Code (and any similar or analogous election under state or local Tax Law) is not available or the resolution thereof could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Tax liability of Parent, Buyer or any of their Affiliates after the Closing, (i) Holdings shall keep Parent reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Claim, (ii) Holdings shall control such Tax Claim diligently and in good faith as if it were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax Claim, and (iii) Holdings shall not, and shall not allow the Acquired Entity or any of its Affiliates to, settle or otherwise resolve any such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Section 8.5    Cooperation Related to Taxes. Parent, Buyer, the Acquired Entities and the Seller Parties shall cooperate (and shall cause their Affiliates to cooperate) fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with (a) preparing and filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund relating to any Acquired Entity, its business or assets, (b) determining a liability for Taxes or an indemnity obligation relating to Taxes under this Agreement or a right to refund of Taxes relating to any Acquired Entity, its business or assets, or (c) any audit, examination, assessment, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of any Acquired Entity, its business or assets. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of any information, records or other documents necessary or reasonably requested in connection with the foregoing or otherwise to allow Parent, Buyer, any Acquired Entity or any of their Affiliates to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Laws, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Any information obtained under this Section 8.5 or under any other Section hereof providing for the sharing of information or review of any Tax Return or other schedule relating to Taxes for any Acquired Entity shall be kept, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, confidential by the parties hereto and their respective legal and tax advisors. Each party shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and all material records and other documents relating to Tax matters of any Acquired Entity, its business or assets until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other documents relate or (ii) six (6) years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns.

Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Parent shall be responsible for preparing and timely filing any Tax Return relating to such Transfer Taxes and the Seller Parties shall timely pay its allocable portion of any such Transfer Taxes to Parent. To the extent that any Transfer Taxes are required by Law to be paid by the Seller Parties and remitted to any Taxing Authority, Parent shall timely pay its allocable portion of any such Transfer Taxes to the Seller Parties, and the Seller Parties shall timely remit such Taxes (or cause such Taxes to be timely remitted) to the Taxing Authority.

Section 8.7    Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax Sharing Agreements (other than this Agreement), whether or not written, that may have been entered into by a Seller Party or any of its Affiliates on the one hand, and any Acquired Entity, on the other hand, shall be terminated as to such Acquired Entity as of the Closing, and no payments which are owed by or to such Acquired Entity pursuant thereto shall be made thereunder after the Closing.

Section 8.8    Tax Treatment.

78

 (b)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent, Buyer, the Company and the Seller Parties acknowledge and agree, with respect to any partnership Income Tax Returns of the Company and any other Acquired Entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes (or any similar or analogous state or local Income Tax purposes) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, to minimize, to the maximum extent possible, any obligations of the Company or such Acquired Entity to pay Taxes in connection with any audit of the Company, such Acquired Entity and/or any partnership of which the Company or Acquired Entity is a partner by means of an election under Section 6221(b) of the Code (and any similar or analogous election under state or local Tax Law) if available, and, if such election is not available (or not made), by means of an election under Section 6226 of the Code (and any similar or analogous election under state or local Tax Law); provided that for the avoidance of doubt, if the Company or such Acquired Entity is required to make any payment to a Taxing Authority in connection with such an audit, the Seller Parties shall pay over to Parent an amount equal to the amount of such payment made on behalf of or with respect to the Company or Acquired Entity within five (5) days following written demand therefor.(taking into account applicable extensions).

 (a)    This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreements (except for Sections 4 and 7 of the General Confidentiality Agreement, which sections shall terminate and be of no force or effect after the Parties’ execution and delivery hereof) and the Facilities Access Agreements (i) are the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties related to the subject matter hereof and thereof (although any provisions of the Confidentiality Agreements conflicting herewith shall be governed by this Agreement) and (ii) are not intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies or Liabilities on any Person except for the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except as provided in Section 4.7(c).

Section 9.4    Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. This Agreement (including, for purposes of this Section 9.4, the Confidentiality Agreements), and all Claims and causes of action (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity) that may be based on, arise out of or relate to this Agreement (including, for purposes of this Section 9.4, the Confidentiality Agreements) (including the negotiation, execution, performance or subject matter hereof) or the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, “Governed Claims”), shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed solely therein, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. For any Governed Claim, each Party (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (such courts, collectively, the “Selected Courts”), (b) agrees that such Governed Claim shall be heard and determined exclusively under clause (a) of this Section 9.4, (c) waives any objection to laying venue for such Governed Claim in any Selected Court, (d) waives any objection that any Selected Court is an inconvenient forum or does not have jurisdiction over any Party and (e) agrees that service of process upon such Party for such Governed Claim shall be effective if such process is given as a notice under Section 9.8.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision hereof was not performed, or threatened to not be performed, under their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, at any time prior to the termination hereof under Article VI, each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches hereof

80

and to bring any Claim to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions hereof, without proof of actual damages (and each Party waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity; provided, however, that the right of the Seller Parties to enforce specifically (through an injunction or otherwise) Parent’s or Buyer’s obligation, as applicable, to consummate the Closing shall be available only if a Parent Closing Failure has occurred and the proceeds of the Financing are available or will be available at the Closing; provided, further, that in no event shall the Seller Parties or any of its Representatives (a) be entitled to both an injunction or injunctions to cause Parent or Buyer to fully enforce the terms of the Commitment Letter, or any definitive agreements related thereto, against the Financing Sources and to cause the Financing Sources to fund the Financing and (b) payment of any Parent Termination Fee or any portion thereto. No Party shall assert (i) that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason or (ii) that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. For the avoidance of doubt, no Financing Source shall be subject to any special, consequential, punitive or indirect damages or damages of a tortuous nature. In the event any Party seeks an injunction or Claim to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions hereof pursuant to this Section 9.5, the Outside Date (as it may be extended under Section 6.1(b)(i)), shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such Claim is pending or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Claim.

This Agreement shall be binding on, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
