PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This is a Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2017, by and among Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V., an entity registered in the Netherlands (“Parent”), The Shaw Group Inc., a Louisiana corporation (“Shaw”) CBI Peruana SAC, a sociedad anόnima cerrada existing under the laws of Peru (“Peruvian Seller”) and Horton CBI, Limited, a corporation existing under the federal laws of Canada (“Canadian Seller”) (together with Shaw and Peruvian Seller, “Seller”), and CSVC Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”).

Seller owns, or will own prior to the Closing Date, all of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities of the Persons listed on Schedule A (the “Capital Services Companies”) and indirectly, the Subsidiaries. Subject to Section 3.29, as of Closing, Seller will own (a) all of the membership interests (the “US Holdco Shares”) of Jazz Holdco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“US Holdco”) formed for purposes of the Adjustment (b) all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (the “Canada Shares”) of New Canada Co ULC, an unlimited liability company to be formed under the laws of the Province of Alberta or British Columbia (“Canadian Holdco”) for purposes of the Adjustment, (c) all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (the “Peru Shares”, and together with the US Holdco Shares and the Canada Shares, the “Shares”) of Peru Maintenance SAC, an entity formed under the laws of Peru for purposes of the Adjustment (“Peruvian Holdco”, and together with, US Holdco and Canadian Holdco, the “Holdcos”, and together with the Capital Services Companies, the “Companies”)). As of Closing, the Holdcos will own directly or indirectly all of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities of the Capital Services Companies (and any Subsidiaries thereof). The Companies, the Subsidiaries and the PC/JV Entities (as defined herein) are referred to, collectively, as the “Business Group”.

Buyer wishes to acquire the Capital Services business segment (including the assets and operations thereof) of Parent, which business segment is in the business of providing services as a maintenance and modification contractor for the nuclear power industry, industrial maintenance industry, federal, state and local governments, in the areas of (a) operations and maintenance support services, (b) environmental engineering and remediation, (c) infrastructure engineering, (d) procurement, construction, and decommissioning, (e) program management for disaster response and (f) emergency response and disaster recovery for private-sector customers and governments, excluding the Excluded Assets (as currently conducted and as conducted at the Closing, the “Business”).

On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller, the Companies, the Subsidiaries (as defined herein), the PC/JV Entities and the Seller’s Affiliates, as applicable, will engage in a series of transactions in accordance with Section 3.18, the effect of which is, among other things, that (a) the assets of the Business necessary for or primarily relating to, or used or held for use primarily in, the conduct of the Business will be consolidated within the Business Group, (b) certain assets of the Business not necessary for or primarily relating to, or used or held for use primarily in, the conduct of the Business will be distributed to entities outside of the Business Group, (c) certain liabilities of the Business (excluding Retained Liabilities) to the extent relating to the conduct of the Business will be consolidated within the Business Group, and (d) certain liabilities of the Business to the extent not relating to the conduct of the Business will be distributed outside of

300530394 v2

300543929 v1

the Business Group, the result of which all of the assets necessary for or primarily relating to, or used or held for use primarily in, the operation of the Business in the Ordinary Course (other than for those certain assets the benefit of which will be provided by certain services or other agreements with Seller and/or its Affiliates entered into in connection herewith) shall be held by the Business Group at the Closing.

At the Closing, and in order to effect the transfer of the Business, Seller desires to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, the Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined separately in Article 7 and are integral to this Agreement.

Seller and Buyer agree as follows:

Article 1

THE SALE AND PURCHASE TRANSACTION

1.1 Sale and Purchase of Shares. Upon the terms of this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Buyer or one or more of the Buyer Subsidiaries designated by Buyer, and Buyer shall or shall cause such Buyer Subsidiaries, as applicable, to purchase, acquire and accept from Seller, all of the Sellers’ respective right, title and interest in the Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances other than for limitations on transfer imposed by applicable securities Laws. This sale and purchase transaction is subject to the conditions set forth in Article 2 and the applicable terms elsewhere in this Agreement.

1.2 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares shall be an amount equal to US$755,000,000 (such amount, the “Base Purchase Price”), as adjusted at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.3 and following the Closing pursuant to Section 1.5 (the “Final Purchase Price”).

1.3 Payment of Purchase Price at Closing. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, an amount equal to:

(a) the Base Purchase Price; plus

(b) if the Working Capital Estimate is greater than the Target Working Capital Amount, the amount by which the Working Capital Estimate exceeds the Target Working Capital Amount; minus

(c) if the Working Capital Estimate is less than the Target Working Capital Amount, the amount by which the Target Working Capital Amount exceeds the Working Capital Estimate; plus

(d) an amount equal to the Cash Estimate; minus

(e) an amount equal to the Indebtedness Estimate;

(the “Closing Purchase Price”).

1.4 Delivery of Closing Estimates.

(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer its good faith estimate of (a) Working Capital as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Working Capital Estimate”), (b) the amount of Cash as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Cash Estimate”) and (c) the amount of Company Indebtedness as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Indebtedness Estimate”) (collectively, the “Closing Estimates”), together with reasonably detailed supporting evidence of the calculation of such estimates.

(b) Following delivery of the Closing Estimates, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s review thereof and the Parties shall discuss in good faith any objections or issues identified by Buyer during such review. Each of the Working Capital Estimate, Cash Estimate and Indebtedness Estimate shall be as delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 1.4(a), as may be modified or adjusted to the extent the Seller and Buyer reach a mutual agreement with respect to any modification or adjustment prior to the Closing Date resulting from discussions referred in the prior sentence, and shall be used as set forth in Section 1.3 for purposes of determining the Closing Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer at the Closing; provided that Buyer shall not have the right to delay Closing as a result of any disagreement with such estimates or the level of Seller’s cooperation with respect thereto (provided, that Seller shall have at least made reasonably available to Buyer the Vice President of Financial Operations of the Business and the Director of Financial Operations of Seller responsible for the preparation of the Closing Estimates on a daily basis during normal business hours for at least three (3) Business Days to review with such officers such officers’ work papers with respect to the preparation of the Closing Estimates) (and if the parties are unable to mutually agree to any modification or adjustment, the Closing Estimates used for purposes of Section 1.7 shall be the Closing Estimate as delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 1.4(a)). In no event will the determination of the Closing Purchase Price and the Closing Estimate used therefor (whether mutually agreed to or the subject of a dispute) prejudice the rights of Buyer or Seller in each case under Section 1.5 or any other provision of this Agreement.

1.5 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment

(a) After the Closing, Buyer shall prepare a statement in accordance with this Section 1.5 (the “Closing Date Statement”) certified by an authorized officer of Buyer setting forth Buyer’s calculation of (i) the Working Capital as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Working Capital Amount”), (ii) the amount of Cash as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Cash Amount”) and (iii) the amount of Company Indebtedness as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Indebtedness Amount”) (collectively, the “Closing Date Statement Calculations”). The Closing Date Statement Calculations with respect to Working Capital shall be prepared in accordance with the Closing Methodology.

(b) Buyer shall deliver to Seller within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date the Closing Date Statement, together with reasonably detailed supporting calculations of each of the Closing Date Statement Calculations (collectively, the “Buyer Post-Closing Deliverables”). For the purposes of preparing the Buyer Post-Closing Deliverables (and resolving any subsequent

disputes with respect to these), Seller shall permit, cause or otherwise provide, Buyer and its Representatives reasonable and timely access to the books and records, working papers and personnel reasonably necessary for Buyer’s preparation of the Buyer Post-Closing Deliverables. Seller shall, and shall cause applicable employees to, reasonably cooperate in a timely manner with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s preparation of the Buyer Post-Closing Deliverables. Once Buyer has delivered each of the foregoing, the Closing Date Statement shall be deemed irrevocable for purposes of the adjustment of the Closing Purchase Price, Buyer shall be foreclosed and completely barred from amending, supplementing or modifying the Closing Date Statement and related Closing Adjustments following delivery to Seller, provided, that the Closing Date Statement may be revised (i) in connection with, and as a result of Seller’s review thereof (and related discussion and/or negotiation between the parties) in accordance with this Section 1.5, (ii) in connection with, and as a result of any determination by an accounting firm pursuant to Section 1.5(d) or (iii) as otherwise agreed between Buyer and Seller.

(c) Buyer shall permit Seller and its representatives reasonable and timely (and in any event within five (5) days of any applicable request of Seller) access to the books and records, accountants’ work papers (provided, that customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreements relating to access to such working papers in form and substance reasonably and customarily acceptable to any auditors or independent accountants are signed by Seller and its representatives (as applicable)), and personnel, independent accountants, and facilities of the Business Group in order to complete its review of the Closing Date Statement and the calculations thereof and for the purpose of determining each of the Closing Date Statement Calculations and resolving any disputes with respect thereto. Buyer shall cause its employees and the employees of the Companies and the Subsidiaries to reasonably cooperate in a timely manner with Seller in connection with Seller’s review of the Closing Date Statement. Within sixty (60) days (the “Seller Objection Notice Deadline”) after delivery by Buyer to Seller of the Buyer Post-Closing Deliverables, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing in reasonable detail of any disagreement that Seller may have with the Closing Date Statement Calculations, which written notification shall set forth (in reasonable detail) the specific items and amounts in dispute together with reasonably detailed supporting calculations (the “Seller Objection Notice”). Unless such notification is provided within the review period specified in the prior sentence, the Closing Date Statement and each Closing Date Statement Calculation shall become final and binding.

(d) If Seller notifies Buyer of its disagreement with any Closing Date Statement Calculations by delivery of the Seller Objection Notice in accordance with Section 1.5(c), Buyer and Seller shall use their good faith efforts to reach agreement on such disputed amounts. If Buyer and Seller fail to so agree within thirty (30) days after the Seller Objection Notice has been delivered, then Buyer and Seller shall promptly (but in any event within sixty (60) days after the Seller Objection Notice has been delivered or such longer period mutually agreed by Buyer and Seller in writing) engage by mutual agreement an independent nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Approved Accountant”) to determine, within forty-five (45) days of the engagement, the appropriate amount of those specific items listed in the Seller Objection Notice that remain in dispute as between Buyer and Seller. In the absence of agreement within such sixty (60)-day period on the identity of the Approved Accountant, or if such firm refuses or is unable to serve in such capacity, the Parties shall engage the accounting firm of KPMG LLP (provided KPMG LLP shall then remain independent

of the Parties), to determine, within forty-five (45) days of the engagement, the disputed items. Seller and Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Approved Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed items as the Approved Accountant may request and are available to that Party or its agents, copies of which shall be concurrently provided to the other Party. Additionally, Seller and Buyer shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Approved Accountant any material relating to the disputed items (provided, that copies of such shall be concurrently provided to the other Party), but shall not engage in any other ex parte communications with the Approved Accountant without the prior written consent of the other Party or without the other Party having the opportunity to participate in (and, to the extent of any written communications, being concurrently provided with a copy of) any such communications. In determining the appropriate amount of those specific items listed in the Seller Objection Notice as to which the Buyer and Seller still disagree, the Approved Accountant:

(i) shall make their decision as described in Section 1.5(d)(iii) in accordance with the Closing Methodology (with respect to Working Capital) and the terms of this Section 1.5,

(ii) may not assign a value to any item greater than the highest value claimed for such item or less than the lowest value claimed for such item by either Buyer or Seller,

(iii) shall restrict their decision to determining the appropriate amount of only those specific items listed in the Seller Objection Notice that remain in dispute as between Buyer and Seller,

(iv) may review only the written information provided by Buyer and Seller in resolving any item which is in dispute,

(v) shall render their decision in writing within forty-five (45) days after the disputed items have been submitted to them, and

(vi) shall have no authority to determine whether any Party has complied with any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, other than the determination of whether the Parties have complied with the Closing Methodology for purposes of this Section 1.5. The Approved Accountant’s decision shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Parties with respect to the items for which they have been engaged to determine and shall be the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy regarding any dispute concerning the appropriate amount of any line item on the Closing Date Statement and any of the Closing Date Statement Calculations. Fees and expenses of the Approved Accountant shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller inversely proportional to the aggregate dollar amounts of issues resolved in favor of Buyer and Seller, respectively. In the event Seller issues a Seller Objection Notice, the Closing Date Statement shall become final and binding upon (A) Buyer and Seller reaching agreement thereon, or, in the event a firm of Approved Accountant is engaged pursuant to this Section 1.5(d), (B) the rendering of the Approved Accountant’s decision pursuant to this Section 1.5(d).

(e) Upon the Closing Date Statement Determination Date, the Closing Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows (each purchase price adjustment set forth below, a “Closing Adjustment”):

(i) if the Final Working Capital Amount is (A) less than the Working Capital Estimate, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by an amount equal to such deficiency, or (B) greater than the Working Capital Estimate, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by an amount equal to such excess.

(ii) if the Final Cash Amount is (A) less than the Cash Estimate, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by an amount equal to such deficiency, or (B) greater than the Cash Estimate, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by an amount equal to such excess.

(iii) if the Final Indebtedness Amount is (A) less than the Indebtedness Estimate, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by an amount equal to such deficiency, or (B) greater than the Indebtedness Estimate, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be decreased dollar-for-dollar by an amount equal to such excess.

(f) Within five (5) Business Days of the Closing Date Statement Determination Date, the Closing Adjustments shall be aggregated and in the event that such aggregation (i) requires the Closing Purchase Price to be increased Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid the amount by which the Closing Purchase Price is to be increased to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller, or (ii) requires the Closing Purchase Price to be decreased Seller shall pay or cause to be paid the amount by which the Closing Purchase Price is to decreased to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer.

(g) The parties hereto agree that any payment by the Buyer or Seller pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(h) Within thirty (30) days of the determination of the Final Purchase Price, Seller and Buyer shall use their good faith efforts to agree on the allocation of the Final Purchase Price among each Seller and the covenants contained in Sections 3.10 and 3.11 for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting). In the event Buyer and Seller fail to so agree within such thirty (30) day period, then Buyer and Seller shall engage an independent nationally recognized accounting firm, which accountants shall resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days of the engagement using the procedures set forth in Section 1.5(d). The fees and expenses incurred by the accounting firm shall be borne equally by the Parties. Such allocation as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.5(h) shall be used by Seller and Buyer for all purposes to which the allocation will apply, including preparation and filing of all related Tax Returns, and no Party hereto shall take or assert any position inconsistent therewith, except as otherwise required by a Final Determination. Any subsequent adjustments to Purchase Price required pursuant to this Agreement shall also be allocated in accordance with the allocation finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.5(h)

1.6 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from the Purchase Price and any amounts otherwise payable to any person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority to the extent required by applicable Law, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the relevant person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. If Buyer determines that any deduction or withholding is required in respect of a payment pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer shall provide notice to Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, with a written explanation identifying the applicable Law under which such withholding is required.

(iv) by Seller, if (A) a material breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by Buyer such that the condition set forth in Section 2.3(b) would not be satisfied, or (B) there exists a breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 2.3(a) would not be satisfied and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), such breach is either continuing and has not been cured, or is incapable of being cured, by Buyer at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Outside Date, but only so long as Seller is not then in breach of its respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach would give rise to the failure of a conditions set forth in Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.2(b); or

(a) In the event that (i) this Agreement is validly terminated by Seller pursuant to (A) Section 2.5(a)(iv), (B) Section 2.5(a)(v), or (C) Section 2.5(a)(ii), if as of the Outside Date, the condition in Section 2.2(f) had not been satisfied if the failure to so satisfy is as a direct result of a breach by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of Section 3.14(g), then in each case Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller liquidated damages equal to $40,000,000 (the “Liquidated Amount”), plus expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses that have been incurred in enforcing this Section 2.6, within three (3) Business Days after the date of such termination (“Enforcement Expenses”). Buyer and Seller hereby agree that it would be prospectively impractical or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages suffered by Seller because of such default; that the prospective impracticability or extreme difficulty of fixing Seller’s actual damages is a result of, among other things, market fluctuations and the losses which would result from removing the Business from the market for any length of time; that the Liquidated Amount constitutes a reasonable estimate and agreed stipulation of such damages which has been negotiated by Buyer and Seller; that Seller may receive the Liquidated Amount in the event of a default by Buyer; that the payment of the Liquidated Amount to Seller is intended to constitute payment for liquidated damages to Seller and not a penalty; that Seller in reliance thereon has agreed to waive all other rights and remedies Seller may have against Buyer in the event of such default by Buyer, such waiver conditioned on Seller’s actual receipt of the full liquidated amount and right to retain the same as payment for liquidated damages.

Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing or of any other provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.5(b) and Section 2.6(a), in no event shall the Related Parties with respect to Buyer, the Investor or the Debt Financing Sources be liable to Seller, any of its Affiliates or any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of Seller in excess of an aggregate amount equal to the Liquidated Amount

and Enforcement Expenses based upon, arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether in law or in equity and whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) or for any breach or alleged breach hereof or thereof for any damages of any kind or nature or for any other monetary amounts.

for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date and, in the case of any Straddle Period, the portion of such period ending on and including the Closing Date (each such taxable period shall be referred to as a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (B) Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Companies or the Subsidiaries is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law, (C) Taxes of any person (other than the Companies or the Subsidiaries), liability for which is imposed on the Companies or the Subsidiaries as a transferee or successor, by Contract or otherwise, pursuant to a transaction or contract or other indemnification obligation that occurs or arises before or concurrently with the Closing, (D) Damages that arise from or are attributable to any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made in Section 4.7, (E) Taxes that arise from or are attributable to any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement, (F) Taxes arising from or attributable to the Adjustment; (G) Transfer Taxes that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to Section 3.3(f); (H) Taxes arising from or attributable to the actions taken by Seller or any of its Affiliates pursuant to Sections 3.19 (Intragroup Accounts and Arrangements) or 3.20 (Third Party Contracts) or 3.21 (Post-Closing Asset Identification); (I) Taxes arising from or attributable to any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement made by Seller in this Agreement; (J) Taxes required to be withheld by Buyer with respect to the payment of the Purchase Price to (or for the benefit of) the Seller (which Taxes are imposed in lieu of or as a means of collection of income Taxes imposed on or with respect to Seller) to the extent not withheld pursuant to Section 1.6, (K) any Taxes in connection with an over-accrual or over-statement of any Tax asset to the extent such Tax asset was specifically identified and taken into account in the determination of the Final Working Capital Amount as an addition to the Final Purchase Price; and (L) any costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses attributable to any item described in clauses (A) to (K). Seller shall pay the Buyer Indemnitees for any Taxes of the Companies or the Subsidiaries that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to this Section 3.3(a)(i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account designated in writing by the Buyer Indemnitees (or a representative thereof) upon the later of: (1) ten (10) days following written notice by a Buyer Indemnitee that an amount for Taxes is or will be due or (2) five (5) days before such amount is due to the appropriate Taxing Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing, the Tax indemnity set forth under this Section 3.3(a)(i) shall not apply to any Taxes to the extent such Taxes are specifically identified and taken into account in the determination of the Final Working Capital Amount as a reduction to the Final Purchase Price.

(ii) From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against, and shall reimburse the Seller Indemnitees for, all Damages attributable to: (A) any transaction engaged in by the Companies or the Subsidiaries at the direction of Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer not in the Ordinary Course occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing, other than any transaction specifically contemplated by this Agreement (including pursuant to a Section 338(h)(10) Election made pursuant to Section 3.3(h) or an election pursuant to Section 338(g) of the Code) and (B) Transfer Taxes that are the responsibility of Buyer pursuant to Section 3.3(f); provided, however, that Buyer

shall not be required to indemnify or reimburse the Seller Indemnitees for any Taxes or Damages for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(i). Buyer shall pay Seller for any Taxes that are the responsibility of Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.3(a)(ii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account designated in writing by Seller upon the later of: (1) ten (10) days following written notice by Seller that an amount for Taxes is or will be due or (2) five (5) days before such amount is due to the appropriate Taxing Authority.

(iii) In the event there is a conflict between any provision of this Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(e) and Article 6, the provisions in this Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(e), as applicable, shall control.

(b) Taxes shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and Post-Closing Tax Period as follows:

(i) In order to apportion any Taxes relating to any taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), (A) real, personal and intangible ad valorem property Taxes and other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (“Property Taxes”) allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period up to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period and (B) Taxes (other than Property Taxes) allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which any of the Companies or any Subsidiary holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time); provided, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period.

(ii) To the extent permitted or required by applicable Law: (A) the taxable years of the Companies and the Subsidiaries which include the Closing Date shall be treated as closing on (and including) the Closing Date and (B) notwithstanding the foregoing clause (A) or any other provision of this Agreement, all transactions engaged in by the Companies or the Subsidiaries at the direction of Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer not in the Ordinary Course occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing, other than any transaction specifically contemplated by this Agreement, shall be treated as having occurred in the Post-Closing Tax Period.

(i) Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to any of the Companies or any Subsidiaries that are: (A) due (taking into account extensions validly

obtained) on or before the Closing Date and (B) for taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and Seller shall timely pay, or cause to be timely paid, to the appropriate Taxing Authority any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.3, Seller and Buyer agree to allocate all items accruing through the Closing Date to the Companies’ and the Subsidiaries’ taxable period ending on the Closing Date pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A)(1) (and not pursuant to the “next day” rule under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) or pursuant to the ratable allocation method under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) or 1.1502-76(b)(2)(iii)). To the extent allowable under applicable Tax Law and except as otherwise provided under this Section 3.3, the Parties will apply the same (or substantially the same) principles in allocating items of income and deduction for any similar state or local consolidated, unitary or combined, income Tax Returns for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date. Seller shall provide Buyer with consolidation work papers and/or pro forma Tax Returns with respect to any consolidated or unitary Tax Return to be filed by Seller pursuant to this Section 3.3(c)(i) that includes any of the Companies or any Subsidiaries not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for the filing of any such Tax Return (taking into account extensions validly obtained). Within ninety (90) days after the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, Buyer shall cause the Companies and the Subsidiaries (at Buyer’s sole cost and expense) to furnish to Seller Tax information relating to the Companies and the Subsidiaries (including any back-up work papers and schedules reasonably requested by Seller) consistent with the past practice and custom of the Seller Group for inclusion in the Seller Group’s consolidated U.S. federal income Tax Return for its taxable year that includes the Closing Date and any state or local consolidated, combined or unitary income Tax Returns described in this Section 3.3(c)(i).

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3(c)(i), Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by any of the Companies or the Subsidiaries, and Buyer shall timely pay, or cause to be timely paid, to the appropriate Taxing Authority any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. All such Tax Returns related to any Straddle Period shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Companies and the Subsidiaries in filing such Tax Returns, except to the extent that Buyer, the Companies or the Subsidiaries determine, with the written advice of independent Tax counsel (to be delivered to Seller), that there is not at least “substantial authority,” within the meaning of Section 6662(d)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, for a particular position. With respect to Tax Returns of any taxable year of the Companies or the Subsidiaries that includes any part of the Adjustment and which is to be prepared by Buyer, Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared and provide Buyer with a package of tax information materials (the “Tax Package”) regarding the Tax treatment of the Adjustment. Buyer shall file any Tax Returns with respect to the Companies and the Subsidiaries that includes any part of the Adjustment in a manner consistent with the information provided in the Tax Package, except to the extent that Buyer, the Companies or the Subsidiaries determine, with the written advice of independent Tax counsel (to be delivered to Seller), that there is not at least “substantial authority,” within the meaning of Section 6662(d)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, for a particular position.

(iii) Any Tax Return required to be filed by Buyer relating to any Straddle Period shall be submitted (with copies of any relevant schedules, work papers and other documentation then available) to Seller for Seller’s review and comment not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return (taking into account extensions validly obtained). Seller shall have the option of providing to Buyer, at any time at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date, written comments regarding the manner in which any, or all, of the items for which it may be liable hereunder shall be reflected on such Tax Return. Buyer shall consider in good faith revising such Tax Return to reflect any such comments, so long as such comments are not unreasonable under applicable Law.

(iv) The Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) all deductions attributable to the Company Transaction Expenses shall be reported on Tax Returns for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.3(c)(i) or, if required under applicable Law to be reported on Tax Returns filed pursuant to Section 3.3(c)(ii), shall be attributable for purposes of this Agreement to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and (ii) no Party shall take, or cause any of its Affiliates to take, any position that is inconsistent with the foregoing except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(v) The Parties acknowledge and agree that US Holdco is, and on the Closing Date will be, treated as an entity that is “disregarded” as separate from Shaw for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, and that the acquisition of US Holdco will therefore be treated as a purchase and sale of its underlying assets (which may include Subsidiaries that are treated as “disregarded” for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and all applicable state, local and non-U.S. income Tax purposes in those jurisdictions in which such Tax treatment is available). In accordance therewith, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date Statement Determination Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller for its review, comment and consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) a statement (together with all supporting documentation) setting forth the allocation of the portion of the Base Purchase Price, other Costs and liabilities that are deemed to be assumed by Buyer for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (as adjusted at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.3 and following the Closing pursuant to Section 1.5) among the assets of US Holdco and the Subsidiaries of US Holdco that are “disregarded” as entities separate from Shaw for U.S. federal income Tax purposes. Such allocation shall be made in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations (and any corresponding or similar provision of state or local Tax Law) (the "Purchase Price Allocation"). Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Purchase Price Allocation of any disagreement or reasonable objections Seller may have with the Purchase Price Allocation, in which case Buyer and Seller shall use their good faith efforts to reach agreement thereon. In the event Buyer and Seller fail to so agree within thirty (30) days after Seller's notice of disagreement has been delivered, then Buyer and Seller shall engage a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants to resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days of the engagement using the procedures set forth in Section 1.5(d). The fees and expenses incurred by the accounting firm shall be borne equally by the Parties. The Purchase Price Allocation as finally determined pursuant to this

Section 3.3(c)(v) shall be used by Seller and Buyer for all purposes, including preparation and filing of all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594), and no Party hereto shall take or assert any position inconsistent therewith, except as otherwise required by a Final Determination. Any subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price required pursuant to this Agreement shall also be allocated in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.3(c)(v).

(d) The Parties shall cooperate with regard to Tax matters and retention of records as follows:

(i) After the Closing Date, Buyer, the Companies, the Subsidiaries and Seller shall cooperate in good faith, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and representatives to cooperate in good faith, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with (A) the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns relating to the Companies or the Subsidiaries, (B) the determination of Seller, Buyer or their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, of any liability for any Taxes relating to the Companies or the Subsidiaries and (C) any audit, dispute, litigation or other proceeding relating to such Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request and at such other Party’s cost and expense) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, determination or audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(ii) Each Party will retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, and all other records relevant to the determination of Tax liabilities of the Companies or the Subsidiaries for taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and for Straddle Periods until the later of (A) the expiration of the statute of limitations for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other documents relate or (B) seven (7) years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. Each Party agrees that before destroying or discarding any material required to be retained pursuant to this Section 3.3(d)(ii), it shall notify the other Party in writing (which notice will include a description of the materials to be destroyed or discarded) and such other Party may, at its expense, remove or make copies of such materials within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of such written notice. In the event the notified Party has not removed such materials within such 120-day period, the notifying Party may proceed with destroying and discarding such material without any liability to the other Party.

(e) If, after the Closing, Seller, Buyer, any of the Companies or the Subsidiaries or any Affiliates thereof receive notice of any pending or threatened income Tax audits or assessments or other disputes, assessments or proceedings concerning Taxes with respect to which Seller or Buyer may incur indemnification liability under this Agreement (a “Tax Proceeding”), the Party first receiving notice of such Tax Proceeding shall promptly notify the other Party of the Tax Proceeding in writing and in any event within ten (10) days after receiving the notice of the Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure of such Party to give such prompt notice shall not relieve the other Party of any of its obligations under this Section 3.3, except to the extent that

the other Party is actually prejudiced by such failure (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Seller shall have the right to represent the interests of the Companies and the Subsidiaries in any Tax Proceeding relating to a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense; provided, that (i) Buyer shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Proceeding at its own expense and (ii) Seller shall not be entitled to settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, that portion of any such Tax Proceeding for which Buyer or either of the Companies could incur an indemnification obligation or that could result in increased liability for Buyer, any of the Companies or the Subsidiaries for Taxes attributable to a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date (or such portion of a Straddle Period as commences after the Closing Date) without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.3(e), Buyer shall have the exclusive right to control, at its own expense, any Tax Proceeding of or with respect to any of the Companies or the Subsidiaries; provided, that (i) Seller shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Proceeding relating to a Straddle Period at its own expense and (ii) Buyer shall not be entitled to settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, that portion of any such Tax Proceeding relating to a Straddle Period for which Seller could incur an indemnification obligation or that could result in increased liability for Seller attributable to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (or such portion of a Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date) without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Buyer, the Companies or the Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of the foregoing shall: (A) be entitled to participate in any Tax Proceeding with respect to a consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Tax Return which includes any member of the Group or Affiliate of a member of the Group, in each case other than the Companies and the Subsidiaries, for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date or (B) be entitled to any information regarding or copy of any Tax Return described in the immediately preceding clause (A) (or portion thereof), provided, that Seller provides Buyer with a Tax Return or comparable documentation or material Tax information that relates solely to the Companies and the Subsidiaries and contains all material Tax information found in any other Tax Return filed by Seller or its Affiliates in respect of any of the Companies or the Subsidiaries

(f) All sales, use, transfer, value-added, documentary, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes that are payable in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”), shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Buyer, on the one hand, and fifty percent (50%) by Seller, on the other hand. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Seller shall be responsible for any Transfer Taxes attribute to the Adjustment. The Party required by applicable Law to file any Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to any such Taxes shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns and Buyer and Seller shall each, and shall each cause its Affiliates to, cooperate in the timely preparation and filing of, and join in the execution of, any such Tax Returns and other documentation. To the extent that any Transfer Taxes that are the responsibility of Seller hereunder are required to be collected by Buyer and remitted to any Taxing Authority, Seller shall pay the amount of such Taxes to Buyer, and Buyer shall timely remit such Taxes to the Taxing Authority.

(g) Any Tax allocation or sharing agreement or arrangement, whether or not written, that may have been entered into by the Companies or the Subsidiaries on the one hand, and

Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall be terminated as to the Companies and the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, and the Companies and the Subsidiaries shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(h) With regard to certain Tax elections:

(i) The following provisions shall apply with respect to an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code:

(A) Buyer and Seller agree that they shall join in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) with respect to each Company and Subsidiary identified by Buyer or Seller, as applicable, that is treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) including executing or causing to be executed IRS Form 8023 and all other forms, returns, elections, schedules and documents required to effect the Section 338(h)(10) Election, including such forms, returns, elections, schedules and documents as may be applicable for state and local income Tax purposes.

(B) At or prior to Closing, Seller and Buyer shall agree on the form and content of IRS Form 8023 that will be filed in connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Election and cause the same to be finalized and executed along with any corresponding state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law forms (collectively, the “Form 8023”).

(C) The Companies, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate for the purpose of effectuating a timely and effective Section 338(h)(10) Election, including the execution and filing of any other required forms or returns. Seller, the Companies and Buyer agree that, except as required by a Final Determination with any Taxing Authority, they will not take, or cause to be taken, any action in connection with the filing of any Tax Return of Seller, Buyer or their Affiliates or otherwise which would be inconsistent with or prejudicial to the Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(D) With regard to any entities for which a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date Statement Determination Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller for its review, comment and consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) a statement (together with all supporting documentation) setting forth the allocation of the portion of the Base Purchase Price, other Costs and liabilities that are deemed to be assumed by Buyer for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (as adjusted at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.3 and following the Closing pursuant to Section 1.5) that is used to determine Aggregate Deemed Sales Price (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.338-4) with respect to each of the Companies and the Subsidiaries to which the Section 338(h)(10) Election will apply among the assets of each of the Companies and Subsidiaries to which the Section 338(h)(10) Election will apply, which allocation shall be made in accordance with Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code, any applicable Treasury Regulations (and any corresponding or similar provision of state or local Tax Law) (the “Section 338(h)(10) Purchase Price Allocation”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of the Section 338

(h)(10) Purchase Price Allocation, the assets of any PC/JV Entity for which a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made shall have a fair market value equal to their net book value. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Section 338(h)(10) Purchase Price Allocation of any disagreement or reasonable objections Seller may have with the Section 338(h)(10) Purchase Price Allocation, in which case Buyer and Seller shall use their good faith efforts to reach agreement thereon. In the event Buyer and Seller fail to so agree within thirty (30) days after Seller’s notice of disagreement has been delivered, then Buyer and Seller shall engage a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants to resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days of the engagement using the procedures set forth in Section 1.5(d). The fees and expenses incurred by the accounting firm shall be borne equally by the Parties. The Section 338(h)(10) Purchase Price Allocation as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.3(h)(i)(D) shall be used by Seller and Buyer for all purposes to which the Section 338(h)(10) Election will apply, including preparation and filing of all related Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8883), and no Party hereto shall take or assert any position inconsistent therewith, except as otherwise required by a Final Determination. Any subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price required pursuant to this Agreement shall also be allocated in accordance with the Section 338(h)(10) Purchase Price Allocation as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.3(h)(i)(D).

(ii) At Buyer’s sole discretion, Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries will (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to make or cause to be made (or join in making, as applicable) an election under Section 754 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) with respect to any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the either of the Companies or a Subsidiary holds a beneficial interest or (B) cooperate in the Buyer’s making of any election under Section 338(g) of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) with respect to any of the Companies or the Subsidiaries, and shall timely provide (or cause to be timely provided) any information to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries requested by the Buyer in connection therewith.

(i) As between the Parties, with regard to Taxes:

(i) None of Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, the Companies or the Subsidiaries shall (or shall cause or permit the Companies or the Subsidiaries to) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to any of the Companies or the Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent may be withheld or conditioned in the sole discretion of Seller), except to the extent such amendment, refiling other modification relates solely to a Post-Closing Tax Period and does not affect Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 3.3(a)(i).

(ii) None of Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, the Companies or the Subsidiaries shall (or shall cause or permit the Companies or the Subsidiaries to) carryback for U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax purposes to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date, any net operating losses, Tax credits or any other Tax item

of any of the Companies or the Subsidiaries, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer; provided, however, that to the extent required by applicable Law, Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, or any of the Companies or the Subsidiaries, shall be entitled to carryback any net capital losses of any of the Companies or the Subsidiaries, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer.

(iii) Any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Companies or the Subsidiaries attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (excluding refunds related to any carryback filing or amended Tax Return made or caused to be made by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer and net of any Damages realized by Seller solely as a result of any such carryback filing or amended Tax Return made or caused to be made by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer) shall be for the account of Seller and shall be paid by Buyer, the Companies or the Subsidiaries to Seller within five (5) days of receipt of any such refund or credit. Buyer shall be entitled to any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Companies or the Subsidiaries other than refunds or credits to which Seller is entitled pursuant to the foregoing sentence, and Seller shall pay such refunds or credits to Buyer within five (5) days of receipt of any such refund or credit. In determining the portion of a Tax refund or credit relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, any refund or credit of Taxes relating to a Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of such period beginning on the day after the Closing Date in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 3.3(b). Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 3.3(i)(iii) to the contrary, Buyer shall not be obligated to pay any refund or credit under this Section 3.3(i)(iii) to the extent that any such refund or credit is attributable to any Tax asset to the extent such Tax asset was specifically identified and taken into account in the determination of the Final Working Capital Amount as an addition to the Final Purchase Price.

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (A) this Section 3.3 and Section 3.9 shall be the sole provisions governing the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to indemnification for any and all Tax matters and the provisions of Article 6, other than Section 6.1, Section 6.4(i), Section 6.8 and Section 6.9, shall not apply, and (B) the indemnification obligations contained in Section 3.3(a) and the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4.7 shall survive the Closing Date until ninety (90) days following the expiration of the applicable statutory periods of limitations (including any extensions or waivers thereof).

(v) At or prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer an affidavit of Seller in compliance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2) and reasonably acceptable to Buyer certifying under penalties of perjury that Seller is not a foreign person under Section 1445 of the Code.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (A) any action required pursuant to this Section 3.3 with respect to any of the Companies or the Subsidiaries less than one-hundred percent (100%) of the equity interests of which will be transferred (directly or indirectly) to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.1 (a “Non-Wholly Owned Entity”) shall be required to be taken only to the extent within the power of the Buyer, the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, using commercially

reasonable efforts, (B) any payments required to be made by Buyer or Seller pursuant to this Agreement (including any payments pursuant to Section 3.3(a)) with respect to Taxes of a Non-Wholly Owned Entity (or Damages related to such Taxes) shall be made only to the extent of Buyer’s or Seller’s Allocable Share of such Taxes and (C) any reference to “Subsidiary” in Section 3.3 or Section 4.7 shall be considered to include the PC/JV Entities.

3.4 Publicity. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall, and each shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, issue any press release or otherwise make any announcements to the public or the employees of any of the Companies or the Subsidiaries regarding this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, including any termination hereof, without the prior written consent of the other, except as required by Contract or any applicable Laws, in which case any such announcements shall be made only following reasonable prior written notice to the other Party, to the extent practicable and taking into account the requirements for timely reporting imposed by applicable Laws.

3.5 Updated Schedules. Seller may deliver to Buyer prior to the Closing Date written updates or supplements to the Schedules described in Article 4 to the extent necessary in order to make the representations and warranties contained in Article 4 true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the giving of such update or supplement (and matters disclosed thereon) shall (a) not affect the right to indemnification, or otherwise cure Seller’s obligations to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees under Section 3.3(a) or Section 6.2 with respect to such matters, which right shall be the same as that which would have existed had such update or supplement to the Schedules not been delivered and (b) shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether any of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 and any of the deliverables set forth in Section 2.4(b) have been satisfied, and whether Buyer’s obligations have been satisfied hereunder. If such updated or supplemental Schedules reflect matters or events that, in the absence of such update or supplement, would result in a failure to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 2.2(a), then Buyer may terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2(a).

3.6 Retention of Records; Access.

(a) After the Closing Date, each Party shall retain for a five (5) year period copies of all pre-Closing records (other than Tax records, which retention will be governed by Section 3.3(d)(ii)) of the Business Group. Each Party also shall provide the other Party reasonable access to such pre-Closing records (for the purpose of examining and, at the requesting Party’s expense, copying), during normal business hours and on at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, in order to facilitate the resolution of any claims relating to the Business Group made against or incurred by a Party prior to the Closing. Each Party agrees that before destroying or discarding any material required to be retained pursuant to this Section 3.6, it shall notify the other Party in writing (which notice will include a description of the materials to be destroyed or discarded) and such other Party may, at its expense, remove or make copies of such materials within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of such written notice. In the event the notified Party has not removed such materials within such 120-day period, the notifying Party may proceed with destroying and discarding such material without any liability to the other Party.

(a) Each Employee who has an account balance in any Company Plan that is a defined contribution plan intended to be tax-qualified under Code Section 401(a) and is sponsored by a member of the Seller Group or Business Group (each a “Defined Contribution Plan” and, collectively, the “Defined Contribution Plans”) shall be deemed fully vested in, and entitled to receive a distribution of, his or her entire account balance to the extent provided by the terms of the Defined Contribution Plans and shall be permitted to rollover his or her “eligible rollover distribution” from the Defined Contribution Plans (as defined under Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) to a qualified retirement plan established or maintained by Buyer, a Company, a Subsidiary or an affiliate of Buyer. As of an Employee’s Transfer Date, such Employee shall cease to be eligible to make or receive contributions under any Defined Contribution Plans that are not Company Sponsored Plans (provided, that any contribution required to be made with respect to the participation of such Employees in such plans on or immediately prior to the Transfer Date shall be made by Seller as soon as administratively feasible following the Transfer Date, in accordance with the applicable Company’s standard administrative practice for such plans). As of the Closing Date, all Company Employees shall be deemed terminated without cause or terminated for the convenience of the Seller (or such similar standards) for the limited purpose of vesting in benefits in any applicable equity incentive plans (and related award agreements) of the Seller Group.

(b) Except as specifically contemplated in this Section 3.9, as set forth on Schedule 3.9, or as required by applicable Law or the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, each Employee who is not subject to a Union Agreement (together, the “Company Non-Union Employees”) shall cease to be covered by, cease to be active participants in and cease to accrue further rights or benefits under all Company Plans not maintained by the Companies or Subsidiaries from and after such Employee’s Transfer Date, except to the extent otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of such Company Plans for terminated employees.

(c) For a period from the Closing Date to the first anniversary thereof, Buyer shall provide to (or cause a Company, a Subsidiary, or an affiliate of Buyer to provide to) each Company Non-Union Employee, for so long as such Employee remains employed by Buyer, a Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of Buyer, base salary or wages that are not less than those provided to such Company Non-Union Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. For a

period from the Closing Date to December 31, 2017, Buyer shall provide to (or cause a Company, a Subsidiary, or an affiliate of Buyer to provide to) each Company Non-Union Employee for so long as such Employee remains employed by Buyer, a Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of Buyer, employee benefits (excluding incentive compensation, defined benefit and post-termination welfare benefits) which, in the aggregate, are not substantially less favorable than the employee benefits (excluding incentive compensation, defined benefit and post-termination welfare benefits) provided to such Company Non-Union Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(e) From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, to the extent required by Law or the terms of any applicable Union Agreement, cause the Companies and the Subsidiaries (as applicable) to honor and comply with each Union Agreement and will maintain the compensation and benefits of those Employees whose employment is subject to a Union Agreement to the extent required by the terms of such applicable Union Agreement, it being understood that this paragraph shall not be construed as a limitation on the rights of the parties to a Union Agreement to amend such agreement in a manner permitted by its terms.

(f) Certain Employees hold company credit cards that have been guaranteed by one or more of the Seller Group (the “Company Guaranteed Credit Cards”). Subject to the Transition Services Agreement, the Seller Group shall cancel such Company Guaranteed Credit Cards as of the Closing Date. Seller shall retain all liabilities for any balance outstanding on any of the Company Guaranteed Credit Cards and any claims, suits, damages, liabilities, fees, costs and expenses wholly or partly arising out of or relating to any violation, breach or default by Employees of their obligations related to the Company Guaranteed Credit Cards on or before the Closing Date.

(g) Prior to the Transfer Date, Seller shall provide ready access to (i) any Employee who is included in the definition of Seller’s Knowledge; or (ii) appropriate Employees in relation to any service provided by the Seller under the Transition Services Agreement for which the Employee is responsible (together, “Access Employees”). Any communication between Buyer and any Employee shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operation of the Business. Communications prior to the Transfer Date with any Employee other than an Access Employee shall be subject to Seller consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and Buyer shall provide reasonable prior notice to Seller's designated representatives that such communication is desired and agree to any reasonable requests by Seller's designated representatives to reschedule such communications to facilitate reasonable Business needs. Buyer shall provide Seller's designated representatives with an opportunity to review and comment on any material written communications to Employees other than Access Employees prior to distribution.

(h) After the date of this Agreement, the parties will reasonably cooperate regarding any consultations with any employee representative body, including but not limited to, any labor organization, or recognized trade union that represents Employees (“Employee Representative”) as required by Law or any Union Agreement as a result of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause the Companies and the Subsidiaries to, fully comply with any and all required notices, consultation, effects bargaining or other bargaining obligations to any Employee Representatives in connection with the transaction contemplated herein. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall not independently communicate with any Employee Representative without the prior written permission of Seller, which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably apprised of status of any notice, consultation, effects bargaining and other bargaining obligations and activities and provide copies of any material communications to any Employee Representative with respect to the Contemplated Transaction.

(i) Nothing in this Section 3.9, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including any Employee, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever (including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever) under or by reason of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 3.9 shall constitute an amendment of, or an undertaking to amend, any Benefit Plan.

(j) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.9(j), Seller has not received written (or to Seller’s Knowledge, oral) notice from a “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA (“Multiemployer Plan”) of (i) assessment of any withdrawal liability assessable pursuant to Section 4219 of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan with respect to any partial or complete withdrawal, within the meaning of Section 4205 and 4203 of ERISA, or (ii) any failure to make contributions to a Multiemployer Plan that were due and payable on or prior to the Closing Date.

(k) Seller shall assume liability for, and shall reimburse a Company, a Subsidiary or Buyer for, any (i) withdrawal liability that is assessed pursuant to Section 4219 of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan with respect to any partial or complete withdrawal, within the meaning of Section 4205 and 4203 of ERISA, respectively, from such Multiemployer Plan by Seller, a Company or a Subsidiary that occurs on or prior to the Closing Date, including without limitation, any such withdrawal arising in connection with the Adjustment, reduced by the amount paid by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 3.9(l) below for the same Multiemployer Plan, and (ii) any contributions to a Multiemployer Plan that were due and payable on or prior to the Closing Date.

(l) With respect to each Multiemployer Plan listed on Schedule 3.9(l), between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller (directly or, if necessary, through a Company or Subsidiary) shall contact the Board of Trustees or administrators of such plan and request (i) whether a Company or Subsidiary would have owed any withdrawal liability (e.g., there would be no exception or exemption that would have applied) had the Company or Subsidiary in 2016 ceased to have an obligation to contribute to the plan and (ii) if the answer to (i) is yes, there would have been withdrawal liability, estimates of such liability and the applicable maximum amount a Company or Subsidiary would be required to pay per year assuming such plan has not and will not have a “mass withdrawal” as defined in ERISA Section 4219(c)(1)(D) and applicable regulations thereunder (the “Annual Cap”). Seller shall be permitted to reasonably challenge the Board of Trustees or plan administrators on their conclusion under (i) that there would be liability or on the amount of their estimates given under (ii). If, after any challenge described in the preceding sentence, Seller agrees with respect to a plan set forth on Schedule 3.9(l) that it would have had withdrawal liability pursuant to (i) and the amount of the estimates pursuant to (ii), Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the estimated withdrawal liability or (y) twenty multiplied by the Annual Cap. If by the nine (9) month anniversary of the date of this Agreement Seller has not received a response from a plan listed on Schedule 3.9(l) on hypothetical withdrawal liability, or if Seller does not agree that withdrawal liability would have been owed or the estimated amount of such liability or the Annual Cap, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement on whether there should be a payment pursuant to this Section 3.9(l) with respect to such plan and, if so, the amount of such payment. If by the twelve (12) month anniversary of the date of this Agreement negotiations made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence have not resulted in an agreement on the amount, if any, of a payment, Seller and Buyer shall resolve the issue in accordance with Section 8.3.

(m) The Companies, the Subsidiaries, and Buyer shall assume liability for, and shall reimburse Seller, for any (i) withdrawal liability that is assessed pursuant to Section 4219 of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan with respect to a partial or complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan by a Company or a Subsidiary that occurs after the Closing Date and (ii) any contributions to a Multiemployer Plan that become due and payable after the Closing Date.

(n) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 4.5(b) below), the only direct or indirect liability of Seller to the Companies, a Subsidiary or Buyer with respect to a Multiemployer Plan shall be as set forth in Section 3.9(k) and Section 3.9(l) or as a result of a breach by Seller of the representations made in Section 3.9(j) above or Section 4.18(a) or Section 4.18(m) below, and Seller shall have no liability with respect to a Multiemployer Plan under Section 3.9(k) or Section 3.9(l) or as a result of a breach

of the representation made in Section 4.18(m) where (i) without Seller’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), a Company, a Subsidiary or Buyer before, on or after the Closing Date (but prior to the date on which, with respect to a Multiemployer Plan, Seller ceases to have a payment or indemnification obligation pursuant to this Agreement) directly or indirectly contacts the administrators or trustees of the Multiemployer Plan or the union representing the employees or former employees covered by such plan and inquires about whether a withdrawal has occurred or will occur in the future or if withdrawal liability is or in the future may be owed, or (ii) the withdrawal occurs as a result of or in connection with an asset sale by a Company, a Subsidiary or the Buyer that does not meet the requirements under ERISA Section 4204 and regulations thereunder for avoiding a withdrawal as a result of the sale. A Company, a Subsidiary or Buyer shall notify Seller within ten (10) Business Days of (i) receipt of a request for information or assessment of withdrawal liability received from a Multiemployer Plan that asserts (or could be used to assert) that a withdrawal has occurred, and provide Seller with a copy of such request or assessment, or (ii) its determination that it is required by applicable Law to communicate with the administrators or trustees of a Multiemployer Plan or the union representing the employees or former employees covered by such plan about whether a withdrawal from such plan has occurred or will occur in the future or if withdrawal liability is or in the future may be owed and provide Seller with the basis for such determination. The Companies, Subsidiaries, Buyer and Seller will cooperate in good faith on any response to such request or assessment or any communication with the administrators, trustees or union representatives. Any liability of Seller under Section 3.9(k) or Section 3.9(l) or as a result of a breach of the representations under Section 3.9(j) or Section 4.18(m) shall be no more than the actual amount a Company, Subsidiary or Buyer is obligated to pay the Multiemployer Plan taking into account the application of exceptions, exemptions, limits on amounts required to be paid to the Multiemployer Plan per month, quarter, year or over a 20-year period, and other limitations on liability set forth in ERISA or regulations thereunder or in the governing documents of the Multiemployer Plan.

(g) Each of Buyer and Seller shall not, and each shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, take any action following the execution of this Agreement which causes or is reasonably likely to cause the consummation of this Agreement to be challenged or prohibited under any Antitrust Law.

Buyer will reasonably cooperate with Parent's efforts to obtain a release upon the terms set forth in the prior sentence, provided Seller shall not take any actions in connection herewith (nor request that Buyer take any action) that would result in an adverse effect under any such Supported Contract. At and following Closing, and Buyer shall and shall cause the applicable Companies and the applicable Subsidiaries (A) to indemnify Parent and its Affiliates from and against any and all Damages actually incurred by any of them relating to any payment obligation under any Company Surviving Supported Arrangements that are outstanding at Closing (other than, in each case, to the extent any such Damages are the result of any act of or failure to act by Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Companies and the Subsidiaries) or resulting from a condition that arose prior to Closing, (B) not to (x) amend or modify the terms of any Company Surviving Supported Arrangement if such amendment or modification would reasonably be expected to materially increase the likelihood that the applicable Company Surviving Supported Arrangement would be drawn, paid, or called upon).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing in clause (a) above, Buyer and Seller shall obtain a release of Company Supported Arrangements consisting of letters of credit as of the Closing Date and Buyer shall cause to be delivered a replacement letter of credit in the same amount as such letter of credit replaced.

(g) During the term that any Company Surviving Support Arrangements shall remain outstanding, Buyer shall provide Seller with (i) the audited annual financial statements of the Business as soon as available after the end of each fiscal year of the Buyer during such term, (ii) unaudited quarterly financial statements of the Business as soon as available after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Buyer during such term, (iii) written project status reports prepared on a basis consistent with past practice for each matter to which an outstanding Company Surviving Support Arrangement relates as and when prepared, but no less frequently than quarterly, during such term and (iv) access to Buyer’s personnel responsible for matters covered by outstanding Company Surviving Support Arrangements as Seller may reasonably request upon reasonable prior written notice for purposes of Seller’s inquiries into the status of such matters.

(h) Buyer shall pay Seller monthly, promptly upon receipt of invoice therefor but in no event later than 15 days after date of invoice, surety bond fees with respect to Company Surviving Support Obligations consisting of surety bonds outstanding during such month in an amount equal to the product of (i) the aggregate average face amount of such surety bonds during such month, multiplied by (ii) the monthly market rate paid by Buyer for surety bond issued in connection with the Business as certified by AON plc.

not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation and Buyer has no continuing obligation of confidentiality to said source of confidentiality. If Buyer or any of its Affiliates or their respective representatives are compelled to disclose any such information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Buyer is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the foregoing nor any other provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to limit any customary disclosures made by Buyer, its affiliates (as applicable) or any of their representatives to the Debt Financing Sources in connection with its efforts and activities to obtain the Debt Financing.

(b) From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold, and to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause its or their respective representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, relating to (i) Buyer, the Companies and the Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates or (ii) the Business, except to the extent that Seller can show that such information (A) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective representatives or (B) is lawfully acquired by Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective representatives from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation and Seller has no continuing obligation of confidentiality to said source of confidentiality.

In the event Seller proposes to modify the Adjustment from that set forth on Exhibit D, Seller shall provide Buyer with sufficient prior written notice thereof, which notice shall include sufficient details regarding the proposed change to enable Buyer the ability to fully understand the proposed change and impact thereof. In furtherance thereof, Seller shall provide Buyer drafts of all substantive documentation relating to the effectuation of the Adjustment and an opportunity to reasonable and timely review and comment

3.22 Financing.

(a) Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Debt Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification or waiver would (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing below that required to provide the Buyer with the funds necessary for it to consummate the Contemplated Transactions at the Closing and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, unless the Equity Financing is increased by an equivalent amount or due to a reduction in the Base Purchase Price; (ii) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably, when taken as a whole, be expected to delay or prevent in any material respect the ability of Buyer to consummate the Contemplated Transactions or (iii) materially and adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, assignments consummated pursuant to the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter are permitted. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may amend, supplement, modify or replace the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect at the date hereof, (1) as expressly permitted by Section 3.22(c) below or (2) in any manner consistent with the immediately preceding sentence, including, (x) as required pursuant to the market flex provisions in the fee letter, (y) to add or replace lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or other parties (for the avoidance of doubt, providing additional or replacement lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities with consent rights with respect to existing conditions shall not constitute the addition, expansion, amendment or modification of any condition of the Debt Financing), (x) to increase the amount of

(c) If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, the Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to arrange alternative financing from the same or other sources of financing on terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) no less favorable to the Buyer than those contained in (or expressly permitted with respect to) the Financing Commitments and in an amount sufficient for the Buyer to perform its obligations under this Agreement (it being agreed that, if alternative financing is not reasonably available to the Buyer on such terms and conditions, the Buyer may arrange alternative financing on such other terms and conditions as the Buyer may in good faith deem appropriate).

If any Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee (an “Indemnified Party”) believes that it has suffered or incurred, any Damage for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Article 6, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnification is being claimed (the “Indemnifying Party”). This notice (“Notice of Claim”) shall specify the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known (by Indemnified Party) which shall be updated from time to time to include additional facts which become known to such Indemnified Party. If any Legal Proceeding is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which any Indemnified Party intends to claim any Damages, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of such Legal Proceeding. The failure to provide any notice in accordance with this Section 6.5 shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 6 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

6.6 Claims by Parties.

(a) Other than third-party claims, which are covered by Section 6.7, within twenty (20) days after delivery of any notification of a demand for indemnification delivered in accordance with Section 6.5, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response (the “Response”) in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the asserted amount of Damages (the “Asserted Damages Amount”), in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment to the Indemnified Party of such amount, by check or by wire transfer; (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Asserted Damages Amount (such portion, the “Agreed Portion”), in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Portion, by check or by wire transfer; or (iii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Asserted Damages Amount.

(b) In the event that the party providing a Response pursuant to Section 6.6(a) shall (i) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Asserted Damages Amount, or (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled only to the Agreed Portion of the Asserted Damages Amount, Seller and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of the indemnification claims that comprise the Asserted Damages Amount (or the portion of the Asserted Damages Amount not comprising the Agreed Portion). If Seller and Buyer should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both such Parties. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation

within sixty (60) days after delivery of a Response, either Seller or Buyer may seek resolution in accordance with Section 8.3.

6.7 Third-Party Claims. If any third party notifies any Indemnified Party with respect to any matter which the Indemnified Party determines may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article 6, then the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party thereof promptly and in any event within twenty (20) days after receiving any written notice from a third party or ten (10) days after the filing of a claim by such third party in a court or other Governmental Body. Once the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party may defend against the matter in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend any such matter that seeks to impose criminal liability on an Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after the date the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense of such matter (a) the Indemnifying Party shall defend the Indemnified Party against the matter with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (b) the Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel at its sole cost and expense and (c) the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to the matter or enter into any settlement which does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability to any third party in connection with any matter which is the subject of a Notice of Claim (such admission to constitute a complete release and discharge of Seller’s or Buyer’s, as the case may be, indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such matter) and shall cooperate fully in the manner requested by the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such claim.

6.8 Exclusive Remedy. In the absence of fraud, the indemnification provisions contained in this Article 6 and set forth in Section 3.3(a) and following termination only the Liquidated Amount, shall constitute the sole and exclusive recourse and remedy of the Parties for monetary damages hereunder, with respect to the Business, the Companies and the Subsidiaries, including with respect to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, pre-Closing covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The provisions of this Article 6 and the applicable provisions of Section 3.3 and Section 2.6 are in lieu and substitution of any other remedies that the Parties may have, including common law claims and damages and statutory rights of contribution. The provisions of this Article 6 (or the applicable provisions contained in Section 3.3 or Section 2.6) will not, however, restrict the right of either Party to seek specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with any breach of any of the covenants which by their nature require or could require performance post-Closing contained in this Agreement.

6.9 Purchase Price Adjustments. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any amounts determined in accordance with, and payable under, this Article 6, Section 1.5 or Section 3.3 shall be treated by Buyer and Seller as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price.

6.10 Mitigation of Damages. Without limiting its obligation under the Law, each Party agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize all Damages for which it may seek

indemnification from the other Party pursuant to this Article 6, and to minimize the amount of such indemnification obligation by reasonably pursuing the maximum possible insurance recovery or recovery from other available sources in the event available and, provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any deductible or increase in premium resulting therefrom with respect to such Damages (including express rights of indemnification, rights of subrogation and independent causes of action against third parties) and nothing herein will in any way diminish each Party’s common law duty to mitigate its Damages.

Any Party may change the address to which notice (or copies) to it shall be addressed by giving notice of that change to the other Parties in accordance with this Section 8.2.

8.3 Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Parties hereto agree that they shall bring any Action, proceeding or claim against either Party based upon, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Other Agreements or any Contemplated Transaction, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment in any action, proceeding or claim against either Party based upon, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Other Agreements or any Contemplated Transaction (whether brought by any Party or any of its Affiliates or against any Party or any of its Affiliates) exclusively in the Delaware Chancery Court or, if such court shall not have subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (and any of the appropriate respective appellate courts therefrom), and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of such courts (and the appropriate respective appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to (i) the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court; (ii) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court; (iii) any claim that this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof,

111

may not be enforced in or by any such court; and (iv) any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the first sentence of this Section 8.3 may be served on either Party anywhere in the world by delivery of process in accordance with the notice provisions contained in Section 8.1(c). Each Party agrees that all actions, proceedings and claims based upon, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Other Agreements or any Contemplated Transaction shall be heard and determined only in any such court and agrees not to bring any such action, proceeding or claim in any other court. The Parties agree that either or both of them may file a copy of this Section 8.3 with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained agreement between the Parties irrevocably to waive any objections to improper venue, personal jurisdiction or to convenience of forum. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy that may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such Party hereby also irrevocably and unconditionally waives any and all right such Party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly based upon, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Other Agreements or any Contemplated Transactions. By this Agreement, each Party certifies and acknowledges that (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver; (ii) each Party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver; (iii) each Party makes this waiver voluntarily; and (iv) each Party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 8.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any suit, action or other proceeding of any kind or description (whether in law or in equity and whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) involving any Debt Financing Source arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Debt Financing or the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance of services thereunder, each of the parties hereto agrees that (a) such action or proceeding shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and any appellate court therefrom, (b) such party shall not bring or permit any of its Affiliates to bring any suit, action or proceeding referred to in this Section 8.3, or voluntarily support any other Person in bringing any such action or proceeding, in any other courts and (c) except as specifically set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, all claims or causes of action (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against any Debt Financing Source in any way relating to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, shall be exclusively governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles or rules or conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of laws of another jurisdiction.

8.4 Assignment. This Agreement and all the rights and powers granted to the Parties by this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and the rights, powers, interests and obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Buyer (or one or more of its Affiliates) shall have the right, without the prior written consent of Seller, to assign all or any portion of its rights, powers, interests and obligations under this Agreement to (i) one or more Affiliates or related parties of Buyer for any

112

reason so long as Buyer remains fully liable for all of its obligations hereunder, and (ii) from and after the Closing to any Debt Financing Source (so long as any such assignment shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder) pursuant to terms of the Financing for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assigning collateral in respect of the Financing.

8.5 Specific Performance.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, might occur in the event that the Parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the Contemplated Transactions) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, unless the Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 2.5 of this Agreement, the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches by any Party hereto of any material provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes without limitation, access to books and records as described in Sections 1.5(b) and 1.5(c), but shall not include the Debt Commitment Letters), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.5(a) or anything else in this Agreement, the right of Seller to obtain an injunction, or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, in each case, solely with respect to causing Buyer and Investor to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to cause the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby shall be subject to the requirements that (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at or shortly before the Closing (each of which conditions shall be capable of being satisfied at such time or at such time relief is granted)), (ii) Buyer shall have failed to consummate the Closing on the date it was otherwise required to do so pursuant to Section 2.1, (iii) the Debt Financing has been funded or would be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing and (iv) Seller has irrevocably confirmed that if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then the Closing will occur.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, while Seller may pursue both a grant of specific performance and any other remedy available to them at law or in equity under this Agreement, under no circumstances shall Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance of Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Contemplated Transactions and payment of the Liquidated Amount or any damages or other amounts (other than any amounts payable under Section 2.6). In the event Seller seeks a grant of specific

113

performance, but the applicable court does not grant such, Seller shall be entitled to the payment of Liquidated Damages if the conditions of Section 2.6 are otherwise satisfied.

8.6 Consideration; Recitals; Governing Law. The Parties acknowledge the mutual receipt and sufficiency of valuable consideration for the formation of the legally binding contract represented by this Agreement. That consideration includes all of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement. The recitals set forth on page one of this Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement and made a part of this Agreement. This Agreement, and any and all claims directly or indirectly based on, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement (whether based in contract, tort or otherwise), shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of law rules, whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction.

8.7 Schedules. Any matter identified on any of the Schedules in Article 4 or in Article 5 shall be deemed to be disclosed for all purposes herein, notwithstanding references to any specific section of this Agreement or such Schedules, so long as the item so identified is reasonably related to the relevant other provision or provisions.

8.8 Amendment and Waiver. To be effective, any amendment or waiver under this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Party against whom enforcement of the same is sought. Neither the failure of either Party to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or to insist upon compliance by any other Party with its obligations under this Agreement, nor any custom or practice of the Parties at variance with the terms of this Agreement, shall constitute a waiver by such Party of its right to exercise any such right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sections 2.6, 8.3, 8.4, 8.9 and 8.12 and this Section 8.8 (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent a modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of any of the foregoing provisions) may not be modified, waived or terminated in a manner that impacts or is adverse in any respect to a Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Source.

8.9 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, together with the Local Transfer Documents, set forth a complete and exclusive statement of all of the promises, covenants, agreements, conditions and undertakings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings, negotiations, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, among the Parties, including the Letter of Intent dated as of December 22, 2016. Except for (a) the provisions of Sections 6.2 and 6.3 relating to Buyer Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees, and (b) the provisions of Sections 2.6, 8.3, 8.4, 8.8, this Section 8.9 and Section 8.12, which are also intended to be for the benefit of the Debt Financing Sources, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person other than the Parties any rights or remedies under this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any Local Transfer Document, the provisions of this Agreement will control. The parties agree that no Local Transfer Document is intended, and no Local Transfer Document will be construed in any way, to enhance, decrease or otherwise modify any of the rights or obligations of Buyer or Seller from those contained in this Agreement.

114

8.10 Severability; Set-Off.

(a) If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any applicable Law in any particular respect or under any particular circumstances, then, so long as the economic or legal substance of the Contemplated Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party: (a) such term or provision shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect in all other respects and under all other circumstances and (b) all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. No aggrieved Party shall have set-off rights with respect to any matter in dispute under this Agreement or any Other Agreement.

(b) The Company Transaction Expenses shall be borne by Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Companies and the Subsidiaries).

8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the Parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the Parties transmitted by facsimile shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

8.12 Financing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Companies, the Sellers, on behalf of themselves and their respective affiliates, representatives and Subsidiaries shall not have any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the Debt Commitment Letter, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise and shall not institute and shall cause its representatives and Affiliates not to institute a legal proceeding (whether in law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against a Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the Debt Commitment Letter and hereby waives any rights or claims thereto.

8.13 Performance Guarantee by Parent. Parent hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally fully guarantees the due and prompt performance, payment and the discharge when due of all of the obligations and undertaking of Seller under this Agreement (including any payment obligations hereunder) in accordance with their express terms (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) (the “Seller Parent Guaranty”). Whenever this Agreement requires (whether prior to, on or after Closing) any Affiliate of Seller (including Parent) or any Affiliate of Seller (including Parent) to take or cause to take or to refrain from taking any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause such Affiliate to take or to refrain from taking such action in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (and without limitation, such undertakings are “Guaranteed Obligations”). Parent agrees and acknowledges that the Seller Parent Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and of performance and not merely of collection and that the Seller Parent Guaranty is full and unconditional, and no release or extinguishment of Seller’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, whether by decree in any bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, shall affect the continuing validity and enforceability of the Seller Parent Guaranty. Parent agrees and acknowledges that Buyer is relying on the Guaranty in entering into this Agreement and that this Seller Parent Guaranty is a material inducement to Buyer’s willingness to enter into this Agreement. hereby agrees that if any Guaranteed Obligation of a monetary nature is not paid

115

when and as due, Buyer (or its successor) may notify the Guarantor of such non-payment, whereupon the Guarantor shall or shall cause Seller to promptly pay promptly pay, as the case may be, such Guaranteed Obligation. Parent hereby waives and agrees not to assert notice of acceptance of this Seller Parent Guaranty, presentment, demand, protest, or (except only as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) any notice of any kind whatsoever, with respect to any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, and promptness in making any claim or demand hereunder; and no act or omission of any kind shall in any way affect or impair this Seller Parent Guaranty. If Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Guarantor or any of its successors or assigns assumes all of the obligations under this Section 8.13 (including the Guaranteed Obligations). For the avoidance of doubt the Guaranteed Obligations and the Seller Parent Guaranty shall survive the Closing.

8.14 Mutual Release.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, and without limiting the rights of Buyer or the Companies and the Subsidiaries under this Agreement, any Transaction Agreement, the Continuing Intercompany Arrangements or any other agreements among the Parties or their Affiliates specifically referencing this Agreement, Buyer and the Companies and the Subsidiaries, on each of its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, waive any and all rights, defenses, claims (other than claims of fraud) or causes of action (including rights of contributions) known and unknown, foreseen and unforeseen, arising prior to or on the Closing that each of Buyer and the Companies and/or the Subsidiaries have or may in the future have against Seller, its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees or equityholders, in each case arising out of, resulting from or relating to the Business and any liability or Damages relating thereto.

(b) Effective as of the Closing, and without limiting the rights of Seller or its Affiliates under this Agreement, any Transaction Agreement, the Continuing Intercompany Arrangements or any other agreements among the Parties or their Affiliates specifically referencing this Agreement, Seller, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, waives any and all rights, defenses, claims (other than claims of fraud) or causes of action (including rights of contributions) known and unknown, foreseen and unforeseen, arising prior to or on the Closing that they (or any of its respective successors or assigns) have or may in the future have against Buyer, its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Companies and/or the Subsidiaries) or any of its or its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees or equityholders, in each case arising out of, resulting from or relating the Business and any liability or Damages relating thereto.
