TERMINATION

If, at any time before the Closing, Seller or Seller’s Parent breaches any of their respective representations and warranties set forth in Article IV and Article V, as applicable, or defaults on any of their respective covenants or obligations hereunder in any material respect, and such breach or default continues for a period of time equal to (i) ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof from Company to Seller or Seller’s Parent, as applicable, specifying such breach or default, or (ii) if the Closing is scheduled to occur before the expiration of such ten (10)-day period, the period of time after written notice thereof from Company to Seller or Seller’s Parent, as applicable, specifying such breach or default and until such scheduled date of the Closing, then, time being of the essence, Company may, as Company’s sole remedy hereunder, by delivering written notice to Seller, (a) terminate this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents (except for those obligations that expressly survive such termination) and declare them null and void (except for those obligations that expressly survive such termination), in which case Seller agrees that, except to the extent otherwise agreed by Company, Other Member shall thereafter automatically be granted the Section 8 Rights, (b) exercise its rights under Section 10.06 or (c) waive its rights under clauses (a) and (b) and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the same manner as if there had been no breach or default without any reduction in the Purchase Price and without any further claim against Seller or Seller’s Parent with respect to such breach or default.

Section 9.02 Seller’s Remedies for Defaults of Company. If, at any time before the Closing, Company breaches any of its representations and warranties set forth in Article VI, or defaults on any of its obligations hereunder in any material respect, and such breach or default

continues for a period of time equal to (i) ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof from Seller to Company specifying such breach or default, or (ii) if the Closing is scheduled to occur before the expiration of such ten (10)-day period, the period of time after written notice thereof from Seller to Company specifying such breach or default and until such scheduled date of the Closing, then, time being of the essence, Seller may, as its sole remedy hereunder, by delivering written notice to Company, (a) terminate this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents (except for those obligations that expressly survive such termination) and declare them null and void (except for those obligations that expressly survive such termination), (b) exercise its rights under Section 10.06 or (c) waive its rights under clauses (a) and (b) and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the same manner as if there had been no breach or default without any reduction in the Purchase Price and without any further claim against Company with respect to such breach or default.

Section 9.03 Termination.

(a) In addition to the rights of termination set forth in Section 9.01 and Section 9.02, this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents may be terminated (except for those obligations that expressly survive such termination) at any time before the Closing as follows:

(i) by the mutual written consent of Seller and Company;

(ii) by (A) Company, at any time and for any reason, at its sole discretion, by written notice to Seller or (B) by Seller, by written notice to Company, in the event the Company has not cured a breach of its obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Section 8.03 following written notice by Seller to the Company delivered fifteen (15) days prior to such termination and provided that Seller is not then in material breach of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Side Agreement, provided that, pursuant to the Side Agreement, Seller, Company and Other Member have agreed and consented that, upon receipt of a termination notice pursuant to this Section 9.03(a)(ii), the rights of Other Member to (x) be allocated a Penalty Payment (as defined in the Letter of Understanding) out of Seller’s distributable share of the OM Member Distributable Income (as defined in the Letter of Understanding) under section 7 of the Letter of Understanding and (y) have the Operating Income adjusted in case of a failure of Seller’s Parent or another OM Group Entity (as defined in the Letter of Understanding) to commit capital under section 5 of the Letter of Understanding shall automatically terminate with effect from and after the date of such termination;

(iii) by Seller, by written notice to Company, or by Company, by written notice to Seller, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the Outside Date or such later date as may be mutually agreed to by Seller and Company, provided that neither Seller nor Company shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.03(a)(iii) in the event that such Party knowingly or willfully breached or breaches this Agreement and such breach prevents the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(iv) by Company, by written notice to Seller, if satisfaction of any condition in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 is or becomes impossible prior to the Outside Date and Company has not waived such condition on or before such date, provided that Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.03(a)(iv) in the event that Company knowingly or willfully breached or breaches this Agreement and such breach prevents the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(v) by Seller, by written notice to Company, if satisfaction of any condition in Section 8.01 and Section 8.03 is or becomes impossible prior to the Outside Date and Seller has not waived such condition on or before such date, provided that Seller shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.03(a)(v) in the event that Seller knowingly or willfully breached or breaches this Agreement and such breach prevents the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 9.04 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated, all obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate, except that the obligations of the Parties in this Article IX and Article X shall survive. For the avoidance of doubt, if this Agreement is terminated (i) by Company after the Debt Financing Documentation Date but prior to Closing or (ii) by Seller, then in any such case the waivers in Section 7.01(b) and Section 7.01(c) shall be automatically revoked and Seller shall automatically succeed to all of the Section 8 Rights (and, therefore, Other Member shall no longer have such rights).

Section 10.02 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Side Agreement and the Ancillary Documents contain the entire understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and are intended to be a full integration of all prior or contemporaneous agreements, conditions or undertakings among the Parties. There are no promises, agreements, conditions, undertakings, representations or warranties, oral or written, express or implied, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof other than as set forth in this Agreement, the Side Agreement and Ancillary Documents.

Section 10.03 Not Construed Against Drafter. This Agreement has been negotiated and prepared by the Parties and their respective counsel, and, should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, the Governmental Entity interpreting or construing such provision shall not apply the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against one Party.

Section 10.04 Binding Effect; Benefits; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon and be enforced solely

by the Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs and executors. Except to the extent specified herein, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer on any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs or executors any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement (and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no such Person shall have any right to enforce any obligation of any Party or to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or in respect hereof or at law or in equity). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.04 or anything to the contrary contained in the Company Operating Agreement or any other agreement between or among Company, Other Member and Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, Company and Seller acknowledge that Other Member shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights of Company hereunder and to enforce all of the obligations of Seller hereunder on behalf of Company, in each case as if Other Member were a party hereto.

Section 10.05 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties.

Section 10.06 Remedies.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached by a Party (the “Breaching Party”). It is accordingly agreed that, subject to Section 9.01 and Section 9.02, in the event of any actual or threatened nonperformance or breach of this Agreement, each Party (the ”Non-Breaching Party”) will be entitled to specific performance, a temporary restraining order, other injunctive relief and other equitable remedies to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Breaching Party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as a remedy for any such nonperformance or breach. Such remedy (i) will include the right of the Non-Breaching Party to cause the Breaching Party to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and (ii) shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy of the Non-Breaching Party for any nonperformance or breach by the Breaching Party but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity to the Non-Breaching Party. Each of the Parties further agrees not to raise as a defense or objection to the request or granting of such relief that any breach of this Agreement is or would be compensable by an award of money damages and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or other security in connection with such remedy.

(b) The Breaching Party shall reimburse to the Non-Breaching Party, upon written request, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable advisors’ fees) that the Non-Breaching Party has incurred as a result of such Breaching Party’s nonperformance or breach of this Agreement.

Section 10.07 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Parties shall each pay the costs and expenses that they have incurred in connection with the investigation, negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the fees and disbursements of their own attorneys, accountants, financial advisors,

investment bankers, other advisors, consultants and employees). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall pay all costs and expenses arising out of or relating to the solicitations of Consent from Clients, provided that, if the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is prevented by any action, failure to act or omission of any sort or type of Seller or Seller Parent (other than a termination of this Agreement by Seller in accordance with its terms), Seller shall pay all such costs and expenses.

Section 10.08 Governing Law. This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.

Section 10.09 Amendments and Waivers. No term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the Party against whom the enforcement of such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. Any waiver shall be effective only in accordance with its express terms and conditions.

Section 10.10 Severability. Any provision (or portion thereof) of this Agreement that is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof (or portion thereof), and any such unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties hereby waive any provision of Law in effect that renders any provision hereof (or portion thereof) unenforceable in any respect.

Section 10.11 Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. Any process against any Party in, or in connection with, any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Party’s performance hereof or rights or obligations hereunder may be served personally or, to the extent permitted by Law, by certified mail at such Party’s address for receipt of notices hereunder with the same effect as though served on such Party personally. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Party’s performance hereof or rights or obligations hereunder to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of the State of Delaware and waives any and all objections to the jurisdiction of, or venue in, such court that such Party may have under applicable Law. Each of the Parties waives trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding among them in any court with respect to, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or the validity, interpretation or enforcement thereof.

Section 10.12 Construction.

(a) The table of contents and the headings of Articles, Sections and Exhibits are provided for convenience only and are not intended to affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. The use of the masculine, feminine or neuter gender or the singular or plural form of words herein shall not limit any provision of this Agreement.

All references in this Agreement to dollar amounts shall refer to United States currency. Except where otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, all Consent and other similar rights of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement may be exercised by such Parties, and such Consents may be granted or denied by such Parties, in their sole discretion. Where this Agreement states that a Party “will,” “shall” or “must” perform in some manner or otherwise act or omit to act, it means that the Party is legally obligated to do so in accordance with this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in a particular case, the word “days” refers to calendar days. Unless otherwise specified in a particular case, if any period expires on a day that is not a Business Day or any event or condition is required by the terms of this Agreement to occur or be fulfilled on a day that is not a Business Day, such period will expire or such event or condition will occur or be fulfilled, as the case may be, on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) references to agreements (including this Agreement), other Contracts and organizational documents shall mean such agreements, instruments and documents as the same may be amended and/or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and including the exhibits and schedules thereto and (ii) references to any Law shall refer to such Law as in effect, as amended, at the relevant time and include all provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Law.

Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or email transmission of portable document format (PDF) files) in one or more counterparts, and by the Parties in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon the Party that executed the same, but all of such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
