During the Review Period, Buyer and the Company shall provide Seller and any accountants or advisors retained by Seller with reasonable access (during normal business hours and without substantial interference to the operations of the Company) to the books and records and personnel of the Company for the purpose of enabling Seller and its accountants and advisors to calculate, and to review Buyer’s calculation of, the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Company Transaction Expenses, provided further, that Buyer may delay the foregoing access as a result of any restrictions or limitations imposed on or reasonably taken by the Company due to Disruptive Circumstances, in which case the Review Period will be extended by such number of days as the foregoing access was so delayed.

(ii) On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller may dispute the calculation of any of the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness or Company Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Date Schedule by delivering a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Buyer. The Dispute Notice shall set forth the basis for the dispute of any such calculation in reasonable detail and, if practicable, Seller’s calculation of each disputed amount.

(iii) If Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer’s calculation of Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and/or Company Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Date Schedule shall be deemed final and binding on Buyer, Seller, and each Selling Shareholder for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iv) If Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and/or Company Transaction Expenses that are in dispute, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Dispute Notice (the “Resolution Period”), and if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and/or Company Transaction Expenses, with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller, shall be final and binding. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach agreement on the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and/or Company Transaction Expenses that are in dispute within the Resolution Period, either party shall have the right to refer such dispute to an independent nationally recognized accounting firm that is mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller (such firm, or any successor thereto, being referred to herein as the “Designated Accounting Firm”). In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Designated Accounting Firm: (A) each of Seller and Buyer shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with the Designated Accounting Firm to provide its views as to any disputed issues with respect to the calculation of any of the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and/or Company Transaction Expenses; provided, that none of Seller, Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Designated Accounting Firm regarding the

17

subject matter hereof without the other party’s prior written consent; (B) each of Seller and Buyer shall promptly provide, or cause to be provided, to the Designated Accounting Firm all information and make available documents, communications and the personnel of Seller, Company and Buyer and their respective Affiliates, in each case, as are reasonably necessary to permit the Designated Accounting Firm to resolve such disputes; provided, however, that the Designated Accounting Firm shall act only as an expert and not as an arbitrator; (C) the Designated Accounting Firm shall determine the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and/or Company Transaction Expenses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after such referral, and upon reaching such determination shall deliver a copy of its calculations (the “Expert Calculations”) to Seller and Buyer; and (D) the determination made by the Designated Accounting Firm of the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and/or Company Transaction Expenses that are in dispute shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive, binding upon the Parties, nonappealable, and not be subject to further review, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction as such. In calculating the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Company Transaction Expenses, the Designated Accounting Firm: (1) shall be limited to addressing only those particular disputed items referred to in the Dispute Notice and will have no authority to make any adjustments to any financial statements or amounts other than any items on the Dispute Notice which Buyer and Seller dispute; and (2) such calculation shall, with respect to any disputed item, be no greater than the higher amount calculated by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, and no lower than the lower amount calculated by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be. The Expert Calculations shall reflect in detail the differences, if any, between the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and/or Company Transaction Expenses reflected therein and the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and/or Company Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Date Schedule. The fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. If Seller shall be required to pay any such fees or expenses, such fees or expenses shall be paid out in accordance with Section 2.4(e).

(d) If (x) the Aggregate Closing Cash Consideration Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4 exceeds (y) the Estimated Aggregate Closing Cash Consideration Amount (such excess, the “Excess Amount”), then:

(i) Buyer shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after such determination, cause to be paid to Seller such Excess Amount, by delivery of immediately available funds; and

(ii) Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute all funds held in the Adjustment Escrow Account to Seller.

(e) If (i) the Aggregate Closing Cash Consideration Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4 is less than the Estimated Aggregate Closing Cash Consideration Amount or (ii) Seller is required to pay any fees or expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm (any such aggregate amounts, the “Shortfall Amount”), then Buyer and Seller shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after such determination, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to Buyer, out of the funds held in the Adjustment Escrow Account, an amount equal to such Shortfall Amount (and such Shortfall Amount shall be paid first

18

out of the funds held in the Adjustment Escrow Account, whether or not such Shortfall Amount is greater than the Adjustment Escrow Amount). In the event that the Shortfall Amount is less than the then remaining funds in the Adjustment Escrow Account, Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute, following distribution of the Shortfall Amount to Buyer, the remaining funds held in the Adjustment Escrow Account to Seller. In the event the Shortfall Amount is greater than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute to Buyer, in addition to the distribution of all funds then remaining in the Adjustment Escrow Account, such difference from the RWI Escrow Account, to the extent funds remain available in such account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Adjustment Escrow Account and the RWI Escrow Account shall provide the sole and exclusive sources of funding to Buyer for any amount payable to Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.4(e).

(f) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall constitute an adjustment of the Aggregate Closing Cash Consideration Amount for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by the Parties on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by Law.

(g) The Parties hereto agree that, from and after the Closing, except in the case of Fraud as set forth and limited herein, the provisions of this Section 2.4 and the dispute resolution provisions contemplated herein shall be the sole and exclusive remedy and exclusive forum of the Parties hereto with respect to the matters contemplated herein.

Any written demands issued by Buyer or Seller to the Escrow Agent will be concurrently provided to the other party pursuant to the notice provisions contained in the Escrow Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, other than remedies for Fraud as set forth and limited herein, the sole and exclusive remedy available to Buyer, any Indemnified Parties or their respective Affiliates against Seller or Selling Shareholders (i) for any Indemnified Retention Losses arising from a RWI Claim or otherwise with respect to claims for breaches of representations and warranties arising under this Agreement, is the R&W Insurance Policy and the funds then available in the RWI Escrow Account, and (ii) for any amount payable to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(e), is the funds then available in the Adjustment Escrow Account and the RWI Escrow Account; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 2.7, express or implied, shall be construed to limit any remedy to which Buyer and any Indemnified Parties may be entitled at law or in equity with respect to breaches of the covenants of Seller that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part (but only to the extent of such part) after the Closing.

(b) In connection with any matter or dispute under this Agreement, Buyer hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause the Company following the Closing to irrevocably waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with (i) the Firm’s prior representation of the Company and (ii) the Firm’s representation of Seller and/or any of the Selling Shareholders (collectively, the “Protected Parties”) prior to and after the Closing.

49

(c) Buyer further agrees, on behalf of itself and, after the Closing, on behalf of the Company, that all communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among any of the Firm, the Company, any of the Protected Parties, or any of their respective Representatives that relate in any way to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or, beginning on the date of this Agreement, any dispute arising under this Agreement (collectively, the “Deal Communications”) shall be deemed to be retained and owned collectively by the Protected Parties, shall be controlled by Seller on behalf of the Protected Parties and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or, following the Closing, the Company. All Deal Communications that are attorney-client privileged (the “Privileged Deal Communications”) shall remain privileged after the Closing and the privilege and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to Seller and the Protected Parties, shall be controlled by Seller on behalf of the Protected Parties, and shall not pass to or be claimed by any of Buyer or, following the Closing, the Company; provided, further, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any of Buyer, or any of tits respective Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Affiliates) of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any such communications to any third party.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer or, after the Closing, the Company, on the one hand, and a third party other than Seller or the Selling Shareholders, on the other hand, Buyer or, following the Closing, the Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Deal Communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor, following the Closing, the Company may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller. In the event that Buyer or, following the Closing, any Protected Party is legally required by Governmental Order or otherwise to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Deal Communications, Buyer shall promptly (and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day) notify Seller in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section 7.5(d)) so that Seller can seek a protective Governmental Order and Buyer agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist therewith.

(e) To the extent that files or other materials maintained by the Firm constitute property of its clients, only Seller and the Protected Parties shall hold such property rights and the Firm shall have no duty to reveal or disclose any such files or other materials or any Privileged Deal Communications by reason of any attorney-client relationship between the Firm, on the one hand, and Company, on the other hand so long as such files or other materials would be subject to a privilege or protection if they were being requested in a proceeding by an unrelated third party.

(f) Buyer agrees on behalf of itself and, following the Closing, the Company, (i) to the extent that Buyer or, after the Closing, the Company receives or takes physical possession of any Deal Communications, (a) such physical possession or receipt shall not, in any way, be deemed a waiver by any of the Protected Parties or any other Person, of the privileges or protections described in this section, and (b) neither Buyer or nor, following the Closing, the Company shall assert any claim that any of the Protected Parties or any other Person waived the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or any other right or expectation of client confidence applicable to any such materials or communications, (ii) not to access or use the Deal Communications, including by way of review of any electronic data, communications or other information, or by seeking to have Seller or any Selling Shareholder waive the attorney-client or other privilege, or by otherwise asserting that Buyer or, following the Closing, the Company has the right to waive the attorney-client or other privilege and (iii) not to seek to obtain the Deal Communications from the Firm so long as such Deal Communications would be subject to a privilege or protection if they were being requested in a proceeding by an unrelated third party.

50

Section 7.6 R&W Insurance. Buyer shall cause the R&W Insurance Policy to be incepted and bound on the date hereof and effective as of the date hereof, and to continue to be bound as of the Closing Date, in each case, in the form and substance agreed between Buyer and Seller as of the date hereof. From the date hereof through the Closing, Seller shall reasonably cooperate and shall cause the Company to reasonably cooperate with Buyer (in each case, at Buyer’s cost) in providing any reasonable information or materials for closing under the R&W Insurance Policy. Buyer shall not, without Seller’s written consent, amend, or agree to amend, any provision of the R&W Insurance Policy relating to subrogation of third party rights. Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid when due, the premiums, the underwriting fee, and the surplus line Taxes payable in connection with the R&W Insurance Policy, whether due prior to or after the date hereof or the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of any Retention Funds (Seller’s portion of such Retention Funds constituting the “Seller RWI Retention Amount” and Buyer’s portion of such Retention Funds constituting the “Buyer RWI Retention Amount”, respectively), subject to Section 2.6.

Section 7.7 Disruptive Circumstances. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (a) any determination of the existence of a Material Adverse Effect shall exclude any impact of Disruptive Circumstances on the results of operations, Assets, properties, liabilities, business or financial condition of the Company and (b) Buyer will not seek to avoid any obligation under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement based on an argument that any Disruptive Circumstances have had or may have a disproportionately adverse effect on the Business or the Company, relative to other companies operating in the industries in which the Company operates, whether based on facts as of the date hereof (whether known or unknown as of the date hereof) or as they may develop or become known between the date hereof and the Closing.

Section 7.8 Notification. The Company and Buyer each shall keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.9 No Other Representations; Non-Reliance.

(a) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it and its respective Affiliates and their respective Representatives have conducted their own independent investigation, review and analysis of the Company, the Business, results of operations, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or Assets of the Company, and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it has been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, Assets, premises, books and records, and other documents and data of the Business or Company for such purpose. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) in making its decision to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, it is relying solely upon its own investigation and the representations and warranties of Seller, Selling Shareholders and the Company set forth in Article III and Article IV of this Agreement (including the related portions of the Disclosure Schedule), the Company Certificate and the other Ancillary Agreements, acknowledges and agrees that neither Seller, Selling Shareholders nor the Company has and does not make any representations and warranties in connection with this Agreement or the other Contemplated Transactions except for the representations and warranties of Seller, Selling Shareholders and the Company set forth in Article III and Article IV of this Agreement (including the related portions of the Disclosure Schedule) and the Ancillary Agreements, and disclaims reliance on any other representations and warranties of any kind or nature express or implied (including, but not limited to, any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, assets or liabilities or prospects of the Company); and (ii) none of the Selling Shareholders, Seller, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or respective Representatives (including, without limitation, the directors and officers of the Company) or any other Person has made any representation or warranty as to a Selling Shareholder, Seller, the Company or the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Company furnished or made available to Buyer and its Representatives, except as expressly set forth in Article III and Article IV of this Agreement, the Company Certificate and the Ancillary Agreements.

51

(b) In connection with the due diligence investigation of the Company by Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives, Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives have received and may continue to receive after the date hereof from the Company, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plan information, regarding the Company and their businesses and operations. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business plans, and that, other than as provided under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, Buyer will have no claim against the Company, or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives, or any other Person, with respect thereto, including as to the accuracy or completeness of any information provided. Accordingly, for the avoidance of doubt, and without in any way limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 7.9, Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article III and Article IV of this Agreement, the Company Certificate, and the other Ancillary Agreements, neither the Company nor any of their Affiliates or their respective Representatives (including, without limitation, the directors and officers of the Company) has made or is making any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking statements or business plans.

(c) This Section 7.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing Date.

(b) by either Buyer or the Company if a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction has enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any applicable Law or any final nonappealable Governmental Order permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Contemplated Transactions has been issued by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) will not be available to any Party whose actions resulted in any applicable Law or Governmental Order that had the effect of restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Contemplated Transactions;

(c) subject to Section 10.11, by the Company or Buyer, if the Closing has not occurred on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 31, 2021, which date may be extended from time to time by mutual written consent of Buyer and the Company (such date, as so extended from time to time, the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(c) will not be available to a Party if such Party’s material breach of its obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or has resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur by the Termination Date;

(d) by Seller if (i) any of the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement fail to be true and correct such that the condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) would not be satisfied, or (ii) Buyer shall have breached or failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 8.2(b) would not be satisfied and such failure or breach with respect to any such representation, warranty or obligation (A) cannot be cured or constitutes a breach of the obligation to consummate the Contemplated Transactions at the time established for such consummation or, (B) if curable, shall continue unremedied at the Termination Date or, if earlier, by the thirtieth (30th) day following written notice by the Company to Buyer of such breach; or

55

Any Party desiring to terminate this Agreement shall give written notice of such termination to the other Parties hereto.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement (other than the provisions of this Article IX, Section 7.4 and Article X, as well as any defined terms used in such sections, which shall survive such termination) shall then be null and void and have no further force and effect and all other rights and Liabilities of the Parties hereunder will terminate without any Liability of any Party to any other Party, except that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from any Liability or damages (which the Parties hereto acknowledge and agree shall not be limited to reimbursement of out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, and may include, to the extent proven, the benefit of the bargain lost by a Party’s shareholders (taking into consideration relevant matters, including other combination opportunities and the time value of money), which shall be deemed in such event to be damages of such Party) resulting from any willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to such termination, in which case the aggrieved Party shall be entitled to all remedies available at law or in equity. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful and material breach” shall mean a deliberate act or a deliberate failure to act, which act or failure to act constitutes in and of itself a material breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any failure of Buyer to satisfy its obligation to pay for the Company Interests, and any failure of either Party to cause the Closing to be effected following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement at such time as required by Section 2.2, will be deemed to constitute a willful and material breach of a covenant of this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the Parties hereto set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

(a) Other than in the event of Fraud as set forth herein and with respect to Seller’s and Selling Shareholder’s obligations with regard to Indemnified Retention Losses set forth in Section 2.6, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements (other than those covenants and agreements that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part (but only to the extent of such part) on or after the Closing) contained in this Agreement or in any document or certificate delivered pursuant hereto (including any Schedule or the Disclosure Schedule) shall not survive beyond the Closing or termination of this Agreement and shall terminate on the earlier of the Closing or the date on which this Agreement is terminated and neither Buyer nor any other Person shall have any recourse with respect to such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements after the Closing; provided, that:

(ii) each Selling Shareholder shall only be liable to Buyer, the Company or any other Person with respect to a Fraud committed by the Company in respect of such Selling Shareholder’s pro rata portion of any liabilities resulting from such Fraud committed by the Company (such pro rata portion to be determined as a percentage equal to such Selling Shareholder’s proportional economic ownership of the Seller immediately prior to the Closing); and

57

(iii) any liability of Seller or Selling Shareholders for Fraud shall (A) be limited to Specified Losses and (B) survive for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date and then terminate.

(b) Nothing in this Section 10.2 shall be construed to modify, limit or supersede Section 9.2.

Section 10.3 Succession and Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, each of which such successors and permitted assigns will be deemed to be a party hereto for all purposes hereof. No Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties hereto, and any attempt to do so will be null and void ab initio; provided, that no consent shall be required in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 7.3(d). Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assignees and nothing herein expressed or implied will give or be construed to give any Person, other than the Parties hereto and such successors and permitted assignees, any other right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled and have the right to pursue and recover damages in the name of and on behalf of Selling Shareholders in the event of any breach by Buyer of this Agreement or in the event of Fraud, which right is hereby acknowledged and agreed to by Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, no Selling Shareholder shall be deemed a party hereto for any purpose.

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid and binding unless it is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Buyer and (a) if prior to the Closing, the Company or (b) if following the Closing, Seller. No waiver by any Party of any breach or violation of, default under or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach or violation of, default under, or inaccuracy in, any such representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No delay or omission on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof.

This Agreement, together with the other Ancillary Agreements and any documents, instruments and certificates explicitly referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto.

This Agreement will become effective when duly executed and delivered by each Party. Counterpart signature pages to this Agreement may be delivered by electronic delivery (i.e., by email of a PDF signature page) and each such counterpart signature page will constitute an original for all purposes.

58

Section 10.7 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provision hereof would, under any Law, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, each Party intends that such provision will be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, any Law.

Section 10.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights of the Parties hereto under this Agreement and all Actions arising in whole or in part under or in connection herewith, will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the domestic substantive Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.9 Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process.

(a) Jurisdiction. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4, each of the Parties hereto, by its execution hereof, hereby (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom located within the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) for the purpose of any Action among any of the Parties hereto relating to or arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, (ii) waives to the extent not prohibited by Law, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such Action brought in one of the above-named courts should be dismissed on grounds of forum non conveniens, should be transferred or removed to any court other than one of the above-named courts, or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other Action in any other court other than one of the above-named courts or that this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (iii) agrees not to commence any such Action other than before one of the above-named courts. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, a Party may commence any Action in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.

(b) Venue. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that for any Action among any of the Parties hereto relating to or arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, such Party shall bring such Action only in the State of Texas. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, a Party may commence any Action in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts. Each Party further waives any claim and will not assert that venue should properly lie in any other location within the selected jurisdiction.

Section 10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS AND THAT SUCH ACTIONS WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

Section 10.11 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the obligations, undertakings, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, it is agreed that the Parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without any bond or other security being required, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties hereto are entitled at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if all of the conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions which by their terms are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing) then, each of the Parties hereto shall be entitled to cause the other Parties hereto to consummate the Closing by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity.

Section 10.12 Disclosure Schedule. The Disclosure Schedule has been arranged, for purposes of convenience only, as separate schedules corresponding to the subsections of this Agreement. The representations and warranties contained in Article IV of this Agreement are subject to (a) the exceptions and disclosures set forth in the part of the Disclosure Schedule corresponding to the particular subsection of Article IV in which such representation and warranty appears; (b) any exceptions or disclosures explicitly cross-referenced in such part of the Disclosure Schedule by reference to another part of the Disclosure Schedule; and (c) any exception or disclosure set forth in any other part of the Disclosure Schedule to the extent it is reasonably apparent that such exception or disclosure is intended to qualify such representation and warranty. No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in the Disclosure Schedule shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material (nor shall it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever) or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule. The information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule is disclosed solely for the purposes of this Agreement, and no information set forth therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any Party to any third party of any matter whatsoever, including of any violation of any Law or breach of any agreement. The Disclosure Schedule and the information and disclosures contained therein are intended only to qualify and limit the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule is intended to broaden the scope of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or create any covenant. Matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by the Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedule. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature.

Section 10.13 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Contemplated Transactions are consummated, except that (a) filing fees payable under or pursuant to the HSR Act shall be paid by Buyer, (b) all fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be paid by Buyer, and (c) all fees, expenses and premiums relating to the R&W Insurance Policy, other than the Seller RWI Retention Amout, shall be paid by Buyer.

Section 10.14 Further Assurances. In case at any time after the Closing any further actions are necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further actions (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party may reasonably request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party; provided, however, that if such further actions relate to any indemnification claim under this Agreement or to any other dispute between the Parties, the terms of this Section 10.14 will not apply.
