AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this "Agreement"), dated as of February 16, 2013, is made by and among Wallace Theater Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), WTH Holdings, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, as representative of the Stockholders (in such capacity, the "Stockholder Representative"), Regal Entertainment Group, a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser"), and RGCS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser ("Merger Sub"). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Article XII below.

WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to acquire 100% of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") in a reverse subsidiary merger transaction pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein (the "Merger");

WHEREAS, the Common Stock is or will, at the time of Closing, be held by the Persons indicated on the attached Stockholders Schedule; and

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors (or the equivalent governing bodies) of the Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Company have approved this Agreement, the Merger and the related transactions contemplated hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

The Merger.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (as amended, the "DGCL"), whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation") and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser.

(b) At the Closing, the Company and Merger Sub shall cause a certificate of merger substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the "Certificate of Merger") to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and shall make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time (the "Effective Time") as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as the Purchaser and the Company mutually agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall succeed to all the assets, rights, privileges, powers and franchises and be subject to all of the liabilities, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub, all as provided under the DGCL.

Conversion of Shares.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any party:

(a) Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares, and any shares of Common Stock (and the ownership interests represented by such Common Stock) which are held by any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or in the treasury of the Company or by the Purchaser or Merger Sub, all of which shall cease to be outstanding and be canceled and none of which shall receive any payment with respect thereto) and all rights in respect thereof shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, forthwith cease to exist and be converted into and represent the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Allocable Portion of the Closing Merger Consideration attributable to such share of Common Stock plus any other consideration paid or payable to the Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement (other than the Closing Merger Consideration).

(b) Each share of Merger Sub's common stock, par value $0.001, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

Merger Consideration.

(a) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser (i) a statement which sets forth in reasonable detail its good faith calculation of its estimate of: (A) Cash (the "Estimated Cash"), (B) by payee, the aggregate amount of Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness of the kind defined in clause (ii) of the definition of Indebtedness) (Indebtedness excluding any Indebtedness of the kind defined in clause (ii) of the definition of Indebtedness is referred to herein as "Adjustment Indebtedness") (collectively, the "Estimated Adjustment Indebtedness"), and the account information necessary for the payment thereof, (C) Net Working Capital (the "Estimated Net Working Capital Amount"), (D) by payee, the aggregate amount of the Transaction Expenses, and the account information necessary for the payment thereof, (E) Change of Control Payments and (F) the Closing Merger Consideration, which shall be certified by the Company's Chief Financial Officer on behalf of and in the name of the Company (the "Estimated Closing Statement") and which shall include reasonable support for the calculations made therein and (ii) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries estimated as of the Closing Date (the "Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet"). The Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet, Estimated Cash, Estimated Adjustment Indebtedness and Estimated Net Working Capital Amount shall be determined and prepared on the same basis and in the same manner as described in Section 2.01. The Company shall provide the Purchaser with reasonable access as set forth in Section 7.02 and, prior to the Closing, the Company shall make appropriate revisions to the Estimated Closing Statement and the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet as are mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Company.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Closing Merger Consideration" means (i) $208,125,179 (comprised of two elements $198,000,000 (the "Total Enterprise Value") and $10,125,179 (the "Working Capital Payment" and together with the Total Enterprise Value, the "Base Consideration"), minus (ii) the amount of the Estimated Adjustment Indebtedness, plus (iii) the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is greater than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, minus (iv) the amount, if any, by which the Target Net Working Capital Amount is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, minus (v) the Escrow Amount, minus (vi) the Adjustment Escrow Amount, plus (vii) the amount of Estimated Cash, minus (viii) the amount of the Transaction Expenses, minus (ix) the Change of Control Payments.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Final Merger Consideration" means (i) the Base Consideration, minus (ii) the amount of Adjustment Indebtedness as finally determined pursuant to Article II, plus (iii) the amount, if any, by which Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Article II exceeds the Target Net Working Capital Amount, minus (iv) the amount, if any, by which the Target Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Article II (the amount of the adjustment in either clause (iii) or (iv), the "Closing Working Capital Adjustment"), minus (v) the Escrow Amount, minus (vi) the Adjustment Escrow Amount, plus (vii) the amount of Cash as finally determined pursuant to Article II, minus (viii) the amount of the Transaction Expenses, minus (ix) the Change of Control Payments.

Common Stock Exchange.

(a) The Purchaser shall, or shall cause a paying agent mutually appointed by the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative to, effect the exchange of cash for shares of Common

Stock which are entitled to payment pursuant to Section 1.02. On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay each Stockholder who has previously surrendered his, her or its Common Stock pursuant to a duly executed and delivered letter of transmittal, substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (each, a "Letter of Transmittal"), and has complied with all other material requirements set forth in the instructions thereto the amount of cash to which each such Stockholder is entitled under Section 1.02. Surrendered shares of Common Stock shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered and exchanged, each such share of Common Stock shall represent solely the right to receive the Allocable Portion of the Closing Merger Consideration into which it was converted pursuant to Section 1.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any certificate representing such share of Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then, upon the making of an affidavit of such fact and executing an indemnity agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser or the paying agent by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Purchaser or paying agent, as applicable, shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Allocable Portion of the Closing Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate, as contemplated by this Article I. In order to effectuate the payment of the Closing Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver the Stockholders Schedule, certified by the Stockholder Representative and dated as of the Closing Date, which shall designate for each Stockholder the amount of each Stockholder's Allocable Portion of the Closing Merger Consideration less such Stockholder's portion of the Representative Holdback Amount as well as the respective account and payment information of such Stockholder.

(b) No earlier than the first Business Day following the twentieth (20^th) day following the date of the Appraisal Notice and no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause one or more notices to be delivered to the Warrant Agent as required under that Warrant and Unit Agreement, dated as June 23, 2009, by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association ("US Bank"), as Unit Agent and Warrant Agent, which notices shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and shall notify the Warrantholders that a Liquidity Event (as defined under the applicable documents governing the terms and conditions of the Warrants) is expected to occur and that the Warrants are subject to exercise prior to the Closing Date in accordance with Sections 5 and 8.5 thereof.

1.05 Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) At the Effective Time and without any further action on the part of the Company or Merger Sub, the articles of incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation (the "Surviving Corporation Articles") as of the Effective Time, until duly amended in accordance with applicable law.

(b) At the Effective Time and without any further action on the part of the Company or Merger Sub, the by-laws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation (the "Surviving Corporation By-Laws"), until thereafter amended as provided therein or by law.

Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.(a) The parties shall take all requisite actions so that, at the Effective Time, the Company's board of directors shall resign, or are removed, and the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office subject to the applicable provisions of the Surviving Corporation Articles and the Surviving Corporation By-Laws.

(b) The parties shall take all requisite actions so that, at the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be initial officers of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office subject to the applicable provisions of the Surviving Corporation Articles and the Surviving Corporation By-Laws.

Stockholder Representative Holdback A portion of the proceeds otherwise to be received by the Stockholders pursuant to Article I in an amount determined by the Stockholder Representative prior to the Closing (such initial deposit, as it may be increased or decreased at any time in accordance with this Agreement, the "Representative Holdback Amount") shall be delivered to the Stockholder Representative at the Closing, on behalf of the Stockholders, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a segregated account (the "Representative Account") designated by the Stockholder Representative (which account shall be used only to hold the Representative Holdback Amount and to pay any fees, costs and expenses of the Stockholder Representative payable out of the Representative Holdback Amount pursuant to the terms of this Agreement). The portion of the Representative Holdback Amount delivered to, and held by, the Stockholder Representative on behalf of each such Stockholder shall be determined pro rata based upon each Stockholder's Residual Percentage. The Stockholder Representative is entitled to pay on behalf of the Stockholders, and to the extent paid by the Stockholder Representative from its own funds, obtain reimbursement for, any fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative in the performance of its duties hereunder ("Representative Expenses") from the Representative Holdback Amount, and the Stockholder Representative shall not use any portion of the Representative Holdback Amount for any other purpose.

Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time eligible under the DGCL to exercise appraisal rights and held by a Stockholder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such appraisal rights (collectively, the "Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Allocable Portion of the Closing Merger Consideration set forth on the Stockholders Schedule as referenced in Section 1.04, and the holder or holders of such Common Stock shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such holder or holders in Section 262 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.08, if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder's appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, such holder's Common Stock shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for such Common Stock set forth on the Stockholders Schedule as referenced in Section 1.04, without interest, and after surrender of the certificate or, if applicable, loss affidavit pursuant to Section 1.04, representing such Common Stock.

ARTICLE II

MERGER CONSIDERATION ADJUSTMENT

Final Closing Balance Sheet Calculation.

(a) As promptly as possible, but in any event within seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser will deliver to the Stockholder Representative a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing (the "Closing Balance Sheet") and a statement showing the calculation of Cash, Adjustment Indebtedness and Net Working Capital derived from the Closing Balance Sheet (together with the Closing Balance Sheet, the "Preliminary Statement"). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared and Cash, Adjustment Indebtedness and Net Working Capital shall be determined (including for purposes of Section 1.03(a)) on a consolidated basis in accordance with Section 2.01(e).

(b) During the thirty (30)-day period immediately following the Stockholder Representative's receipt of the Preliminary Statement (or during the thirty (30)-day period immediately following the seventy-five (75)-day period described in Section 2.01(a), if the Purchaser fails to deliver the Preliminary Statement to the Stockholder Representative within the seventy-five (75)-day period provided in Section 2.01(a) (in which case, for purposes of this Section 2.01(b), the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Statement shall be treated as the Preliminary Statement and will be deemed to have been delivered to the Stockholder Representative on the seventy-fifth (75^th) day after the Closing Date)), the Stockholder Representative and its advisors and representatives (i) shall be permitted to review, upon reasonable notice, the Company's books and records and the working papers related to the preparation of the Preliminary Statement (including the determinations included therein), and (ii) shall be given reasonable access, upon reasonable notice, to knowledgeable employees and accounting professionals of the Purchaser and the Company in order to facilitate the Stockholder Representative's review of the Preliminary Statement; provided that the review and access described in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be conducted at times and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Purchaser's or the Company's respective businesses. The Preliminary Statement (including the determinations included therein) shall become final, binding and conclusive upon the Purchaser and the Stockholders (A) on the thirtieth (30^th) day following the Stockholder Representative's receipt thereof, unless the Purchaser receives from the Stockholder Representative prior to such thirtieth (30^th) day written notice of the Stockholder Representative's disagreement (a "Dispute Notice") with any account or determination set forth in the Preliminary Statement or (B) on such earlier date as the Stockholder Representative notifies the Purchaser that it does not dispute the Preliminary Statement. If the Stockholder Representative timely delivers a Dispute Notice, then the determination of the Final Merger Consideration shall become final, binding and conclusive upon the Purchaser and the Stockholders on the first to occur of (x) the date on which the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative resolve in writing all differences they have with respect to the disputed items or (y) the date on which all of the disputed items that are not resolved by the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative in writing are finally resolved in writing by a nationally recognized accounting firm (other than a so-called "Big Four" accounting firm) mutually selected by the Stockholder Representative and the Purchaser (the "Accounting Firm") in accordance with Section 2.01(c).

(c) During the thirty (30) days following delivery of a Dispute Notice, the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they have with respect to the disputed items. Any disputed item resolved in writing by the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive on the Purchaser and the Stockholders. If the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative do not reach agreement on all of the disputed items during such thirty (30)-day period (or such longer period as they shall mutually agree), then at the end of such thirty (30)-day (or longer) period the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative shall submit all unresolved disputed items (collectively, the "Unresolved Items") to the Accounting Firm to review and resolve such matters and each will specify to the other and to the Accounting Firm its determination of the amount of the Final Merger Consideration (a party's "Proposed Merger Consideration"). The Accounting Firm will determine each Unresolved Item in accordance with this Section 2.01(c) and Section 2.01(e) as promptly as may be reasonably practicable, and the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative shall instruct the Accounting Firm to endeavor to complete such process within a period of no more than sixty (60) days. The Accounting Firm may conduct such proceedings as the Accounting Firm believes, in its sole discretion, will assist in the determination of the Unresolved Items; provided that, except as the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative may otherwise agree in writing, all communications between the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative or any of their respective representatives, on the one hand, and the Accounting Firm, on the other hand, shall be in writing with copies simultaneously delivered to the non-communicating party. The Accounting Firm's determination of the Unresolved Items shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Purchaser and the Stockholders, effective as of the date the Accounting Firm's written determination is received by the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne as follows: (x) by the Stockholder Representative, in a portion equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the absolute difference between the Stockholder Representative's Proposed Merger Consideration and the Final Merger Consideration determined by the Accounting Firm and the denominator of which is the absolute difference between the Stockholder Representative's Proposed Merger Consideration and the Purchaser's Proposed Merger Consideration, and (y) by the Purchaser, in a portion equal to one (1) minus the fraction described in the preceding clause (x).

(d) Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.01(c), either (i) if the Final Merger Consideration as finally determined pursuant to Article II is greater than the Closing Merger Consideration, then the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid through the paying agent, as applicable, to the Stockholders on a pro rata basis according to each Stockholder's Residual Percentage the amount of such excess, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Stockholder Representative to the Purchaser and the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent instructions to release an amount equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount from the Escrow Account to the Stockholders on a pro rata basis according to each Stockholder's Residual Percentage of the amount of such Adjustment Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Stockholder Representative to the Purchaser, or (ii) if the Closing Merger Consideration is greater than the Final Merger Consideration as finally determined pursuant to Article II, then the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to the

Escrow Agent instructions to release to the Purchaser, from the Escrow Account, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount by which the Closing Merger Consideration is greater than the Final Merger Consideration and (y) the Adjustment Escrow Amount, and to deliver to the Stockholders on a pro rata basis according to each Stockholder's Residual Percentage any amounts that remain of the Adjustment Escrow Amount after the foregoing release. If the Closing Merger Consideration is greater than the Final Merger Consideration in an amount that exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Amount, the Stockholder Representative shall be obligated to pay the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by the Purchaser to the Stockholder Representative; provided, however, the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, elect to recover all or any portion of such difference from the Escrow Account.

(e) For the purposes of this Agreement, each accounting term will have the meaning that is applied thereto in accordance with GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2012 and, to the extent consistent with GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2012, the accounting principles, policies, procedures and methodologies applied in preparing the balance sheet that is part of the audited Financial Statements and the accompanying statement of income. Each account included in the Preliminary Statement shall be (i) calculated in accordance with GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2012, and, to the extent consistent with GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2012, utilizing the accounting principles, policies, procedures and methodologies applied in preparing the Financial Statements (without regard to materiality), including with respect to the nature or classification of accounts, and determining levels of reserves or levels of accruals; and (ii) consistent with the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the definitions herein; provided that in determining current assets and current liabilities hereunder, (A) all accounting entries shall be taken into account regardless of their amount and all known errors and omissions shall be corrected, (B) all known proper adjustments shall be made, and (C) appropriate reserves for all known and quantifiable liabilities and obligations for which reserves are appropriate in accordance with GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2012 shall be included.

(c) the Purchaser shall deposit $19,800,000 (subject to reduction pursuant to Section 9.02(c)) (the "Escrow Amount") and $1,000,000 (the "Adjustment Escrow Amount") into an escrow account (the "Escrow Account") established pursuant to the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") by and among the Purchaser, the Stockholder Representative and Wells Fargo, N.A., as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto;

(g) Notwithstanding anything set forth in any estoppel, consent, non-disturbance agreement or other memorandum which is executed or delivered pursuant to this Section 7.07, as between the Purchaser and the Company, this Agreement shall govern the rights, interests, obligations and liabilities under and with respect to the Leases.

COVENANTS OF THE PURCHASER

Access to Books and Records. From and after the Closing, for a period of seven (7) years, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholders and their authorized representatives with reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, at the sole expense of the Stockholder Representative or the Stockholders, to (i) the books and records (for the purpose of examining and copying) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries with respect to periods or occurrences prior to or on the Closing Date, to the extent that such access may be reasonably required in connection with (x) the preparation of any Tax Returns or with any audit thereof, (y) any financial reporting related to the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, or (z) any Action involving the Stockholders relating to the operation of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, unless such Action could reasonably be expected to give rise to a Purchaser Party making an indemnity claim pursuant to Article IX, in which event the Purchaser's obligations under Section 9.04 shall supersede its obligations under this clause (z), and (ii) employees of the Purchaser for purposes of better understanding such books and records; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such access does not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation and their Subsidiaries. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Stockholder Representative, the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts not to, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to not permit the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries to, for a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records of the Company or its Subsidiaries for any period prior to the Closing Date without first giving reasonable prior notice to the Stockholder Representative and offering to surrender to the Stockholder Representative such books and records or any portion thereof which the Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation may intend to destroy, alter or dispose of; provided, however, that any electronic books or records of the Surviving Corporation may be maintained, destroyed or disposed of pursuant to the Purchaser's ordinary course archiving and electronic record retention policies notwithstanding the prohibitions of this Section 8.01.

Notification. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall notify the Stockholder Representative and the Company in writing if the Purchaser acquires knowledge of any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Article VI as of the date of this Agreement, or if the Purchaser acquires knowledge of the occurrence of any fact or condition that would (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach of any such representation or warranty had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition.

Employment and Benefit Arrangements.

(a) The Purchaser shall be responsible for all obligations arising under or pursuant to COBRA for all "M & A qualified beneficiaries" as defined under Treas. Reg. §54.4980B-9. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that any "M&A qualified beneficiary" who elects to receive COBRA coverage from the Purchaser must pay (or have paid on his or her behalf) the COBRA premium amount in order to obtain such coverage. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the ability of the Purchaser to terminate the employment of any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any time and for any or no reason on or after the Effective Time. No provision of this Section 8.03 shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person, including any employee or former employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any beneficiary or dependent of any such employee or former employee. In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement; (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of the Purchaser, the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of their Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them; or (iii) is intended to confer upon any current or former employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment.

(b) At the written request of the Purchaser provided no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing, the Company shall adopt written resolutions to terminate the Company's 401(k) plan and to one hundred percent (100%) vest all participants under said Company 401(k) plan, such termination and vesting to be effective no later than the Business Day preceding the Closing; provided, however, that such Company 401(k) Plan termination may be made contingent upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If such termination of the Company's 401(k) plan is requested, the Purchaser shall following the Closing permit employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who were participants in the Company's 401(k) plan to immediately participate in a 401(k) plan maintained by the Purchaser or its Affiliates, and the Purchaser shall cause all employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to be credited for participation and vesting purposes under such 401(k) plan of the Purchaser or its Affiliates with the service that was credited for similar purposes under the Company's 401(k) plan as of the Closing Date.

Conditions. The Purchaser and Merger Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 to be satisfied as soon as practicable following the date hereof, to cause the Closing to occur as expeditiously as possible following the execution of this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein as soon as reasonably possible after the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IV (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing itself); provided that the Purchaser and Merger Sub shall not be required to waive any condition set forth in Section 4.01 to its obligations hereunder

Contact with Customers and Suppliers. Prior to the Closing, the Purchaser and the Purchaser's Representatives may only contact and communicate with the employees (other than the Company's officers and senior personnel, which shall not require prior approval), customers, service

providers and suppliers of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby after prior consultation with and approval of the Stockholder Representative, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Information, Etc. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any Affiliate or representative of the Company has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the Company or its Subsidiaries or as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries furnished or made available to the Purchaser and its representatives, except as expressly set forth in Article V or in the Letter of Transmittal, and the Stockholders shall not have or be subject to any liability to the Purchaser or any other Person resulting from the distribution to the Purchaser, or the Purchaser's use of or reliance on, any such information or any information, documents or material made available to the Purchaser in any data room, presentations or in any other form in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants, Agreements and Other Provisions. Except to the extent a different period is expressly set forth herein, any claim for indemnification hereunder in respect of a Stockholder Limited Indemnity Item or Purchaser Limited Indemnity Item must be asserted in a writing delivered to the Stockholder Representative or the Purchaser, as the case may be, by no later than the date that is the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Survival Period Termination Date") and, if asserted by such date, such claim shall survive the Survival Period Termination Date until final resolution thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including the foregoing sentence, (a) the covenants of the parties set forth in Article I and Article II (each, an "Excluded Covenant" and collectively the "Excluded Covenants") shall survive according to their respective terms and (b) the Survival Period Termination Date with respect to any covenant that is the subject of a claim for indemnification hereunder shall include any subsequent period of time until any dispute regarding the performance of or compliance with such covenant is finally resolved.

Indemnification from the Escrow Account for the Benefit of the Purchaser.

(a) The Stockholders agree that, after the Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX the Stockholders shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser and its Affiliates (which following the Closing shall include the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries), and each of their officers, directors, agents and representatives (collectively, the "Purchaser Parties"), from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of actions, losses, costs, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses incurred or paid, including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of investigation or settlement, other professionals' and experts' fees, and court or arbitration costs but specifically excluding (except to the extent the same may be awarded to a third party in a Third Party Claim) consequential damages, lost profits, indirect damages, punitive damages and exemplary damages ("Losses"), to have arisen out of or to have resulted from, in connection with, or by virtue of (i) facts or circumstances that constitute an inaccuracy, misrepresentation, breach

of, default in, or failure to perform, any of the representations or warranties given or made by the Company or the Stockholder Representative in this Agreement or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(g)(i), (ii) facts or circumstances that constitute a breach of, default in, or failure to perform, any of the covenants given or made by the Company or the Stockholder Representative in this Agreement ((i) and (ii) collectively with Section 11.03(a), the "Stockholder Limited Indemnity Items"), (iii) any Transaction Expenses, or (iv) Adjustment Indebtedness. For the avoidance of doubt, no Purchaser Party shall be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 9.02(a) for any liability to the extent such liability is actually reflected in the final Net Working Capital used to determine the Final Merger Consideration.

(b) The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations shall not be affected by any investigation (including any environmental investigation or assessment) conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date.

(c) The aggregate liability of the Stockholders on account of all Stockholder Limited Indemnity Items pursuant to Section 9.02 and Section 11.03(a) shall be limited to $19,800,000 (the "Cap"), and claims for Losses in respect of Stockholder Limited Indemnity Items shall be limited to such amount, whether the Purchaser Party in question is the Purchaser or another Purchaser Party; provided that (i) if the Purchaser has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.05 prior to the Closing and does not do so, then the Cap will be reduced by the amount, if any, of the Limited 7.05 Liabilities included in determining the Closing Working Capital Adjustment (but not by an amount that exceeds the amount of the Cap prior to such adjustment) or (ii) to the extent that a liability is reflected in the final Net Working Capital used to determine Final Merger Consideration, which arose from a Limited 7.05 Liability (without taking into account clause (ii) of such definition), then the Cap will be reduced by the amount, if any, of such liabilities included in determining the Closing Working Capital Adjustment (but not by an amount that exceeds the amount of the Cap prior to such adjustment) (such reductions in clauses (i) and (ii), the "Section 7.05 Reductions"). Without limiting the foregoing, other than the Excluded Covenants, the Purchaser Parties' sole recourse in respect of Stockholder Limited Indemnity Items shall be to the amounts held from to time by the Escrow Agent and not theretofore released pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Section 7.05 Reductions and the parties agree that any amounts in excess of such reduced Escrow Amount shall be returned to the Stockholder Representative. In addition, except with respect to the Excluded Covenants, the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.02 in respect of the Stockholder Limited Indemnity Items shall not apply unless and until the aggregate Losses determined to be due for which one or more Purchaser Parties seek or have sought indemnification hereunder in respect of such claims exceeds a cumulative aggregate of $1,980,000 (the "Deductible"), in which event the Purchaser Parties shall, subject to the other limitations herein, be indemnified for such Losses to the extent in excess of the Deductible. In addition, except with respect to the Excluded Covenants, no individual claim or series of related claims by the Purchaser shall be so asserted unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses that would be payable pursuant to such claim or claims exceeds an amount equal to $5,000 (the "Mini-Basket") (it being understood that any such individual or aggregated claims for amounts less than

the Mini-Basket shall be disregarded in determining whether the Deductible has been exceeded and thereafter).

(d) In view of the Deductible and Mini-Basket, and solely for purposes of determining the amount of any Losses, the representations and warranties of the Company, the Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative set forth in this Agreement (or in any instrument, certificate or affidavit delivered at the Closing with respect thereto) shall be considered without regard to any qualification based on materiality or "Material Adverse Effect" set forth therein.

(e) The amount to which a Purchaser Party may become entitled under this Article IX shall be net of any actual recovery (whether by way of payment, discount, credit, off-set, counterclaim or otherwise) received from a third party (including any insurer) less any cost associated with receiving such recovery in respect of a claim. To the extent that insurance, "pass-through" warranty coverage from a manufacturer or other form of recovery or reimbursement from a third party is available to any Purchaser Party to cover any item for which indemnification may be sought hereunder, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause each other Purchaser Party to, on a timely and expeditious basis, use commercially reasonable efforts to effect recovery under applicable insurance policies, and use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue to conclusion available remedies or causes of action to recover the amount of its claim as may be available from such other party; provided that the availability of a potential recovery against such a third party shall not affect the Purchaser's right to make a claim for indemnity pursuant to this Section 9.02. To the extent of any indemnification with respect to any claim referred to in the previous sentence, the Purchaser shall assign, and the Purchaser shall cause each other Purchaser Party to assign, to the Stockholder Representative, to the fullest extent allowable, its claim against such insurance, warranty coverage or third party claim, or in the event assignment is not permissible, but the Purchaser or the other Purchaser Party in question is nonetheless permitted to pursue such claim on the Stockholder Representative's behalf, the Purchaser shall pursue, or shall cause such other Purchaser Party to pursue, such claim, at the Stockholder Representative's direction and expense and without additional out-of-pocket expense to any Purchaser Party, with any recovery thereon to be transmitted promptly to the Stockholder Representative upon receipt for distribution to the Stockholders. To the extent that indemnification has not been paid on account of any such claim, any Purchaser Party may pursue recovery against such insurance warranty coverage or third party and shall be entitled to retain all recoveries made as a result of any such action. The Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, furnish the Stockholder Representative with such information respecting the assets, business and financial records of the Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries relating to any such claims as the Stockholder Representative may, from time to time, reasonably request and at the sole cost and expense of the Stockholder Representative. After the Closing, the Purchaser shall maintain in effect, or will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to maintain in effect, in each case until the Survival Period Termination Date, or for such longer time as there remains a claim outstanding pursuant to this Section 9.02, insurance coverage in amounts, and with coverage, not materially less favorable to the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries than the insurance coverage as maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement. In addition, the amount to which the Purchaser Parties may become entitled under this Article IX shall be net of any Tax benefits theretofore realized by the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its

Subsidiaries, after the Closing) (offset by the amount of any Tax detriments) in respect of Losses to be indemnified hereunder, and as and when the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates realizes any Tax benefits and detriments in respect of Losses theretofore indemnified hereunder, the Purchaser shall pay the Stockholder Representative an amount equal to the amount of such Tax benefit so realized net of any Tax detriment.

(f) Each Purchaser Party shall be responsible for taking or causing to be taken reasonable steps to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses that may be indemnifiable under this Article IX.

Indemnification by the Purchaser for the Benefit of the Stockholders.

(a) The Purchaser agrees that, after the Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, the Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholders or any of their Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the "Seller Parties"), from and against any and all Losses to have arisen out of or to have resulted from, in connection with or by virtue of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser or Merger Sub in this Agreement or in any of the certificates or other instruments or documents furnished by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.02(d)(i) or (ii) facts or circumstances that constitute a breach of, default in, or failure to perform, any of the covenants given or made by the Purchaser in this Agreement (collectively, the "Purchaser Limited Indemnity Items"). The aggregate liability of the Purchaser on account of all indemnification claims made pursuant to this Section 9.03(a) shall be limited to the Cap, and claims for Losses in respect of such matters shall be limited to such amount, whether the Seller Party in question is the Stockholder Representative or another Seller Party. In addition, except as it relates to the Excluded Covenants, the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.03(a) in respect of the Seller Parties shall not apply unless and until the aggregate Losses determined to be due for which one or more Seller Parties seek or have sought indemnification hereunder in respect of such indemnification matters exceeds the Deductible, in which event the Seller Parties shall, subject to the other limitations herein, be indemnified for such Losses to the extent in excess of the Deductible.

(b) In view of the Deductible, and solely for purposes of determining the amount of any Losses, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement (or in any instrument, certificate or affidavit delivered at the Closing with respect thereto) shall be considered without regard to any qualification based on materiality or "material adverse effect" set forth therein.

(c) The amount to which a Seller Party may become entitled under this Article IX shall be net of any actual recovery (whether by way of payment, discount, credit, off-set, counterclaim or otherwise) received from a third party (including any insurer) less any cost associated with receiving such recovery in respect of a claim. To the extent that insurance, "pass-through" warranty coverage from a manufacturer or other form of recovery or reimbursement from a third party is available to any Seller Party to cover any item for which indemnification may be sought hereunder, the Stockholder Representative shall, or shall cause each other Seller Party to, on a timely and expeditious basis, use commercially reasonable efforts to effect recovery under

applicable insurance policies and warranties, and use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue to conclusion available remedies or causes of action to recover the amount of its claim as may be available from such other party; provided that the availability of a potential recovery against such a third party shall not affect any Seller Party's right to make a claim for indemnity pursuant to this Section 9.03. To the extent of any indemnification with respect to any claim referred to in the previous sentence, the Stockholder Representative shall assign, and the Stockholder Representative shall cause each other Seller Party to assign, to the Purchaser, to the fullest extent allowable, its claim against such insurance, warranty coverage or third party claim, or in the event assignment is not permissible, but the Stockholder Representative or the other Seller Party in question is nonetheless permitted to pursue such claim on the Purchaser's behalf, the Stockholder Representative shall pursue, or shall cause such other Seller Party to pursue, such claim, at the Purchaser's direction and expense and without additional out-of-pocket expense to any Seller Party, with any recovery thereon to be transmitted promptly to the Purchaser upon receipt. To the extent that indemnification has not been paid on account of any such claim, any Seller Party may pursue recovery against such insurance warranty coverage or third party and shall be entitled to retain all recoveries made as a result of any such action. In addition, the amount to which the Seller Parties may become entitled under this Article IX shall be net of any Tax benefits theretofore realized by the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholders and their Affiliates (offset by the amount of any Tax detriments) in respect of Losses to be indemnified hereunder, and as and when the Stockholder Representative, any Stockholder or any of their Affiliates realizes any Tax benefits in respect of Losses theretofore indemnified hereunder, the Stockholder Representative shall pay the Purchaser an amount equal to the amount of such Tax benefit so realized net of any Tax detriment. The Stockholder Representative shall furnish the Purchaser with such information respecting the assets, business and financial records of the Stockholder Representative or any Stockholder relating to any such claims as the Purchaser may, from time to time, reasonably request and at the sole cost and expense of the Purchaser.

(d) Each Seller Party shall be responsible for taking or causing to be taken reasonable steps to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses that may be indemnifiable under this Article IX.

Notice of Claim.

(a) As used herein, the term "Claim" means a claim for indemnification by any Purchaser Party or any Seller Party, as the case may be, for Losses under this Article IX (such Person making a Claim, an "Indemnitee"). An Indemnitee shall give notice of a Claim under this Agreement, whether for its own Losses or for Losses incurred by any other Purchaser Party or Seller Party, as applicable, pursuant to written notice of such Claim executed by an officer of the Purchaser or the Stockholder Representative, as applicable (a "Notice of Claim"), and delivered to the Stockholder Representative or the Purchaser, as applicable (such receiving party, the "Indemnitor"), promptly after such Indemnitee becomes aware of the existence of any potential claim by such Indemnitee for indemnification under this Article IX (but in any event not later than the Survival Period Termination Date) arising out of or resulting from: (i) any item subject to indemnification pursuant to the terms of Section 9.01 or Section 9.02; or (ii) the assertion, whether orally or in writing, against any Indemnitee of a claim, demand, suit, action, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or proceeding

brought by a third party against any Indemnitee (in each such case, a "Third Party Claim") that arises out of or results from any item subject to indemnification pursuant to the terms of Section 9.01 or Section 9.02; provided that no failure or delay in the giving of such notice (so long as such notice is given not later than the Survival Period Termination Date, in the case of a Claim relating to a Stockholder Limited Indemnity Item or Purchaser Limited Indemnity Item) shall adversely affect the Indemnitee's rights with respect to such claim, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.(b) Each Notice of Claim by an Indemnitee shall contain the following information:

(a) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Indemnitor on behalf of the Indemnitee shall have the right to elect to defend any Third Party Claim, and the costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnitor in connection with such defense by the Indemnitor (including attorneys' fees, other professionals' and experts' fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be paid by the Indemnitor.

(b) Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice of any Third Party Claim to the Indemnitor; provided that (so long as such notice is given on or prior to the Survival Period Termination Date, in the case of a Claim relating to a Stockholder Limited Indemnity Item or Purchaser Limited Indemnity Item) the failure timely to give such notice shall not limit or reduce the Indemnitee's right to indemnity hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnitor is prejudiced thereby. The Indemnitor shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof utilizing legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee if the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation.

(c) If the Indemnitor has the right to and does elect to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall, at the Indemnitee's request, permit the Indemnitee and its counsel to confer on the conduct of the defense thereof. The Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative shall make available to each other and each other's counsel and accountants, without charge, all of its or their books and records relating to the Third Party Claim, and each party will render to the other party such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to insure the proper and adequate defense thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the other party in connection therewith.

(d) If the Indemnitor has the right to and does elect to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right to enter into any settlement of a Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnitee; provided that (i) such settlement does not involve any injunctive or other equitable relief binding upon the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) such settlement expressly and unconditionally releases the Indemnitee from all liability with respect to such claim, without prejudice, other than the obligation to pay any amount that the Indemnitor pays or causes to be paid.

Exclusive Remedy.

(a) After the Closing, the indemnification rights set forth in this Article IX are and shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Purchaser, the other Purchaser Parties, the

Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative and the other Seller Parties with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.06 shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of its right to seek specific performance or injunctive relief in the case of another party's failure to comply with the covenants made by such other party to be performed after the Closing, or any remedy of any party in respect of any fraud committed by any other party. In addition, the parties agree that Section 9.06(a) and the limitations set forth in this Article IX shall not apply to any fraud or the willful breach of any covenant committed by any party (provided that for purposes of Section 7.05(a), "willful breach" shall mean (i) that any of Scott C. Wallace, Chuck Kirk or Clyde Cornell either (A) had actual knowledge of the underlying breach of representation or warranty required to be reported under Section 7.05(a), or (B) intentionally disregarded their duty of inquiry with their direct reports, and (ii) that any such direct report whose conduct caused the breach actually knew such conduct would cause a breach under Section 7.05(a)).

The Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Stockholder Representative, the Company, the Stockholders and their respective Subsidiaries hereby agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective directors, equityholders, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation, and/or its Subsidiaries on the one hand, and the Stockholders, the Stockholder Representative, GTCR LLC or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, K&E may represent the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholders, GTCR LLC and/or such Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholders, GTCR LLC and/or such Affiliates may be directly adverse to the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries, and even though K&E may have represented the Company or its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries. The Purchaser and Merger Sub further agree that, as to all communications among K&E, the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholders, GTCR LLC and/or any of their respective Affiliates that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney–client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Stockholders and may be controlled by the Stockholders and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries may assert the attorney–client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by K&E to such third party; provided, however, that neither the Surviving Corporation nor its Subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, and GTCR LLC.

Tax Matters.

(a) Subject to the limitations of Article IX made applicable to this Section 11.03(a), the Stockholders shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless hereunder the Purchaser Parties from and against any Losses attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all taxable periods or portions thereof ending on

or before the Closing Date, (ii) any and all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary group of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign law or regulation, (iii) any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule or regulation, which Taxes are imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of an event or transaction occurring prior to the Closing, and (iv) any Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries imposed upon or arising from the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement (collectively, together with any other amounts for which the Purchaser Parties may be entitled to be indemnified for under this Section 11.03(a), the "Indemnified Taxes"); provided, that no indemnity shall be provided under this Section 11.03(a) for Losses for Taxes to the extent taken into account in the final calculation of Net Working Capital, Adjustment Indebtedness, Transaction Expenses or Change of Control Payments pursuant to Section 2.01. In the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax related to the portion of such Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date shall (A) in the case of any Taxes other than gross receipts, sales, use or withholding Taxes and Taxes based upon or related to income or payments, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (B) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income and any gross receipts, sales or use Tax, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on and included the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the Taxable period of any partnership or other pass‑through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time). The Stockholder Representative shall reimburse the Purchaser for any Taxes that are the responsibility of the Stockholders no later than ten (10) Business Days after the later of (i) the date the Stockholder Representative receives written notice of such claim from the Purchaser and (ii) payment of such Taxes by the Company and its Subsidiaries to the applicable Governmental Entity. The Purchaser's sole recourse in respect of any amounts for Taxes due from the Stockholders pursuant to this Section 11.03(a) shall be the amounts held from time to time by the Escrow Agent and not theretofore released pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company and its Subsidiaries for all periods ending prior to or including the Closing Date the due date of which (including extensions) is before the Closing Date (the "Pre-Closing Returns") and shall timely pay all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns. The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company and its Subsidiaries for all periods ending prior to or including the Closing Date the due date of which (including extensions) is after the Closing Date (the "Post-Closing Returns"). Each Pre-Closing Return and Post-Closing Return shall be prepared and timely filed in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. A reasonable period of time prior to the date on which each such Pre-Closing Return with respect to income Taxes (each a "Pre-Closing Income Return") and Post-Closing Return is required to be filed (such reasonable period to be not less than thirty (30) days in the case of income Tax Returns), the Stockholder Representative (in the case of a Pre-Closing Income Return) or the

Purchaser (in the case of a Post-Closing Return) shall submit such Tax Return to the Purchaser (in the case of a Pre-Closing Income Return) or the Stockholder Representative (in the case of a Post-Closing Return) for its review and comment. Prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Returns (at least fifteen (15) days prior in the case of income Tax Returns), the party reviewing the Tax Return shall notify the party preparing the Tax Return of any objection the party reviewing the Tax Return may have to any items set forth on such draft Tax Return. If, after consulting in good faith, the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve such objection(s), such objection(s) shall be referred to the Accounting Firm for resolution in a manner consistent with past practices of the Company (except as otherwise required by Law). In preparing the Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 11.03(b), the Company, the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative agree that the fair market value of the assets acquired pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement is equal to the Purchase Price as defined therein.

(c) If the Accounting Firm is unable to make a determination with respect to any disputed item within five (5) days prior to the due date for the filing of the Tax Return in question, then the party preparing the Tax Return may file such Tax Return on the due date thereof without such determination having been made and without the consent of the party reviewing the Tax Return. Notwithstanding the filing of such Tax Return, the Accounting Firm shall make a determination with respect to any disputed item, and the amount of Taxes for which the Stockholders are responsible under Section 11.03(a) shall be determined by the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm will determine the allocation of the cost of its involvement in the matter based on the inverse of the percentage its determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm.

(d) At its election, the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to represent (at its own expense and through counsel of its choice) the Company and its Subsidiaries' interests in respect of, and shall have control of the defense, compromise or other resolution of, any audit, proceeding, litigation or examination by any Governmental Entity relating to Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries (each, a "Tax Audit") for any tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date, provided that prior to assuming control or defense of any such Tax Audit the Stockholder Representative undertakes in writing to reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries for any Taxes arising from the disposition of such Tax Audit (except to the extent an amount with respect to such Taxes was included in the final calculation of Net Working Capital, Adjustment Indebtedness, Transaction Expenses or Change of Control Payments); provided, further that (i) the Purchaser shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in such Tax Audit, and (ii) the Stockholder Representative may not settle or otherwise dispose of any Tax Audit for which the Purchaser, the Company or any of their Affiliates may have liability that is not indemnified or indemnifiable by Stockholders hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably. In the case of a Tax Audit for a tax period ending on or before the Closing Date for which Stockholder Representative does not assume control pursuant to the preceding sentence or a tax period including but not ending on the Closing Date (a "Straddle Period"), the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in any Tax Audit relating in any part to Taxes attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period deemed to end on the Closing Date. Except as described in the first sentence of this Section 11.03(d), the Purchaser shall control the conduct of any Tax Audit. However, none of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates

(including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) may settle or otherwise dispose of any Tax Audit for which Stockholders or any of their Affiliates may have liability, or which may result in an increase in Stockholders' or their Affiliates' liability, without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, which consent will not be withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably.

(e) Except as required by applicable Law, without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative (which consent will not be withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably, for which purpose the withholding or conditioning of the Stockholder Representative's consent on the basis that any such action not increase Stockholders' liability under Article IX or Section 11.03(a) shall be deemed reasonable), the Purchaser will not (i) except for Tax Returns that are filed in accordance with Section 11.03(b) and (c) file or amend or permit the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries to file or amend any Tax return relating to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date (a "Pre-Closing Tax Period"), (ii) with respect to Tax Returns filed pursuant to Section 11.03(b) or (c), amend or permit any of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries to amend any such Tax Return (except pursuant to a determination by the Accounting Firm as provided for in Section 11.03(c)) or (iii) extend or waive, or cause to be extended or waived, or permit the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries to extend or waive, any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit or constrain the right of the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to request or obtain an extension of the due date for filing any Tax Return).

(f) The Purchaser and the Stockholders will each pay fifty percent (50%) of any transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and real property transfer or real property gains tax, stamp tax, excise tax, stock transfer tax, or other similar Tax imposed on the Company or the Stockholders as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, "Transfer Taxes"), and any penalties or interest with respect to the Transfer Taxes. The Stockholder Representative agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser in the filing of any returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including by promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns.

(g) The Stockholders shall be entitled to any Tax refunds or credits that are received by the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries attributable to Taxes paid by the Stockholders, the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to any pre-Closing Tax period (or portion thereof), and the Purchaser shall pay to the Stockholders by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Stockholder Representative any such refund or the amount of any such credit promptly after actual receipt of such refund or credit against Taxes; provided, however, that (i) the Stockholders shall have no right to any Tax refund or credit that is attributable to the carry back to a pre-Closing period of a loss, deduction or credit arising in any tax period or portion of a tax period subsequent to the Closing Date, (ii) the Stockholders shall have no right to a Tax refund or credit if, and to the extent that, the right to such refund or credit was taken into account in the computation of Net Working Capital finally determined pursuant to Article II, and (iii) the Purchaser may apply any Tax refund or credit to which the Stockholders would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.03(g) against any Loss

described in Section 11.03(a) (provided that the Purchaser agrees to promptly pay to Stockholders the amount of such Tax refund or credit that is erroneously applied by the Purchaser as an offset if the Purchaser's claim under Section 11.03(a) is later determined to be incorrect or overstated). After the Closing, the Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to continue to work in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with the other business objectives and priorities of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, to diligently prosecute any Tax refund claims in order to legally maximize and obtain any Tax refunds or credits to which Stockholders are entitled hereunder; provided, that the Purchaser may reduce the amount of any Tax refund or credit otherwise payable to the Stockholders by the Purchaser's reasonable costs and expenses of obtaining such Tax refund or credit.

(h) Any and all existing Tax sharing or similar agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Affiliate of the Company other than one of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall be terminated and all payables and receivables arising thereunder shall be settled, in each case prior to the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, neither the Surviving Corporation nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder or under any payables or receivables arising thereunder.

(i) The Purchaser and the Stockholders shall cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return and any Tax audit. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party's request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, litigation or other proceeding or any tax planning, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder.

(j) In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 11.03 and the provisions of Article IX, the provisions of this Section 11.03 shall control with respect to Taxes and any Loss relating to Taxes.

(k) Any indemnification payment pursuant to the provisions of Article IX or this Section 11.03 shall be treated by the parties for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Base Consideration received by the Stockholders pursuant to Article III unless a different treatment is required by applicable Law.

(l) None of the Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their Affiliates shall make any election under Section 338 of the Code (or any similar provision under state, local or foreign law) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS

Stockholder Representative.

(a) Designation. The Stockholder Representative is hereby designated by each of the Stockholders to serve as the Stockholder Representative of the Stockholders with respect to the matters expressly set forth in this Agreement to be performed by the Stockholder Representative.

(b) Authority. By the approval of this Agreement pursuant to the DGCL, the Stockholders hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Stockholder Representative as the representative, agent, proxy, and attorney‑in‑fact for each of the Stockholders for all purposes authorized under this Agreement, including the full power and authority on the Stockholders' behalf (i) to consummate the transactions contemplated herein; (ii) to pay such Stockholder's expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement (whether incurred on or after the date hereof), including by using funds from the Representative Holdback Amount; (iii) to disburse any funds received hereunder to such Stockholder and each other Stockholder; (iv) to endorse and deliver any certificates or instruments representing the Common Stock and execute such further instruments of assignment as the Purchaser and Merger Sub shall reasonably request; (v) to execute and deliver on behalf of such Stockholder any amendment or waiver hereto; (vi) (A) to dispute or refrain from disputing, on behalf of such Stockholder relative to any amounts to be received by such Stockholder under this Agreement or any agreements contemplated hereby, any claim made by the Purchaser under this Agreement or other agreements contemplated hereby, (B) to negotiate and compromise, on behalf of such Stockholder, any dispute that may arise under, and exercise or refrain from exercising any remedies available under, this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby, and (C) to execute, on behalf of such Stockholder, any settlement agreement, release or other document with respect to such dispute or remedy; (vii) to engage attorneys, accountants, agents or consultants on behalf of the Stockholders in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby and paying any fees related thereto; (viii) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Stockholder in connection herewith; (ix) to retain the Representative Holdback Amount and pay amounts therefrom in accordance with this Agreement; and (x) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which such Stockholder or the Stockholders collectively are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement). Each of the Stockholders agrees that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Stockholder Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any Stockholder. If any Stockholder dies or becomes incapacitated, disabled or incompetent (such deceased, incapacitated, disabled or incompetent Stockholder being a "Former Stockholder") and, as a result, the agency and power of attorney conferred by this Section 13.01 is revoked by operation of law, it shall not be a breach by such Former Stockholder under this Agreement if the heirs, beneficiaries, estate, administrator, executor, guardian, conservator or other legal representative of such Former Stockholder (each a "Successor Stockholder") confirms the appointment of the Stockholder Representative as agent and attorney-in-fact for such Successor Stockholder. In addition, if the agency and power of attorney conferred by this Section 13.01 is revoked by operation of law and thereafter not reconfirmed by the Successor Stockholder prior to the Closing, such revocation shall

not be deemed a breach by the Successor Stockholder of any of the provisions of this Agreement provided that the shares of Common Stock held by such Successor Stockholder are delivered for transfer to the Purchaser at the Closing as contemplated by Section 1.04, and further provided that such Successor Stockholder executes and delivers such other certificates, documents or instruments that would have been delivered on its behalf by the Stockholder Representative had such Successor Stockholder reconfirmed the agency and power of attorney conferred by this Section 13.01. All decisions and actions by the Stockholder Representative (to the extent authorized by this Agreement) shall be binding upon all of the Stockholders, and no Stockholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(c) Authority; Indemnification. Each Stockholder agrees that the Purchaser, Merger Sub and Surviving Corporation shall be fully protected in relying upon and shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall have no liability to the Stockholders with respect to any action taken by the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of such Stockholder, pursuant to Section 13.01(b) above (an "Authorized Action"), and that each Authorized Action shall be binding on each Stockholder as fully as if such Stockholder had taken such Authorized Action. The Purchaser and Merger Sub agree that the Stockholder Representative, as the Stockholder Representative, shall have no liability to the Purchaser and Merger Sub for any Authorized Action taken in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Authorized Action is found by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted fraud or willful misconduct. Each Stockholder (based on such Stockholder's Residual Percentage) hereby severally, for itself only and not jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative against all fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Stockholder Representative in connection with any Action to which the Stockholder Representative is made a party by reason of the fact it is or was acting as the Stockholder Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Exculpation. The Stockholder Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Stockholder, except in respect of amounts received on behalf of such Stockholder. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to any Stockholder for any action taken or omitted by it or any agent employed by it hereunder or under any other document entered into in connection herewith, except that the Stockholder Representative shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by law for willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to the Stockholders for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by the Stockholder Representative in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Stockholder to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from other Stockholders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. The Stockholder Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement. Neither the Stockholder Representative nor any agent employed by it shall incur any liability to any Stockholder by virtue of the failure or refusal of the Stockholder Representative for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to the performance of its other duties hereunder, except for actions or omissions constituting fraud or bad faith.

(e) Upon the Survival Period Termination Date, if there are no open claims to be resolved with respect to the merger consideration adjustments as set forth in Article II, and no outstanding claims to be resolved pursuant to Article IX, the Stockholder Representative will within five (5) business days of such date obtain reimbursement for any outstanding Representative Expenses for which it is due reimbursement under this Agreement and for which it has not been reimbursed prior to such time and distribute any remaining portion of the Representative Holdback Amount to the Stockholders on a pro rata basis according to each Stockholder's Residual Percentage, it being understood and agreed that such distribution(s) shall be the responsibility of the Stockholder Representative only and that neither the Purchaser nor the Surviving Corporation shall have any obligation to ensure that such distribution is, or distributions are, in fact made or made to the appropriate Persons or in the appropriate amounts. If there are open claims that remain unresolved with respect to the purchase price adjustments as set forth in Article II or outstanding claims that remain unresolved pursuant to Article IX on the Survival Period Termination Date, the Stockholder Representative will within five (5) business days after the date of resolution of such claims obtain reimbursement for any outstanding Representative Expenses for which it is due reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement and for which it has not been reimbursed prior to such time and distribute any remaining portion of the Representative Holdback Amount to the Stockholders on a pro rata basis according to each Stockholder's Residual Percentage, it being understood and agreed that such distribution(s) shall be the responsibility of the Stockholder Representative only and that neither the Purchaser nor the Surviving Corporation shall have any obligation to ensure that such distribution is, or distributions are, in fact made or made to the appropriate Persons or in the appropriate amounts. The Stockholder Representative may instruct the Purchaser or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, when making any payments to the Stockholders, to direct to the Stockholder Representative sufficient funds from such payments to the Stockholders to increase the aggregate Representative Account. Such payment to the Stockholder Representative shall be deducted from the funds otherwise being directed to the Stockholders, and allocated among the Stockholders on a pro rata basis according to each Stockholder's Residual Percentage, and shall be held in the Representative Account and shall be used only to pay Representative Expenses or to reimburse the Stockholder Representative for Representative Expenses paid by the Stockholder Representative in accordance with this Agreement.

Press Releases and Communications. No press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or prior to the Closing any other announcement or communication to the employees, customers or suppliers of the Company, shall be issued or made by any party hereto (or any Affiliate to a party hereto) without the joint approval of the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative, unless (a) required by Law or by the rules and regulations, including listing standards, of the NYSE, in which case the other party shall be advised and the parties shall use reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued to the extent practicable, or (b) with respect to the Purchaser, for any customary disclosures for a public company, including pursuant to earnings calls and in communications with lenders, noteholders, stockholders, credit rating agencies and analysts, among others.

Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall pay all of their own expenses (including attorneys' and accountants' fees and expenses) in connection with the negotiation of this

Agreement, the performance of their obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the Purchaser shall pay the Transaction Expenses and Change of Control Payments as provided in Section 3.02(h); and, provided, further, that the fees, costs and expenses of the Stockholders and the Company incurred in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be Transaction Expenses.

Knowledge Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, "the Company's knowledge", "the Company acquires knowledge" and "knowledge of the Company" as used herein shall mean the actual knowledge or conscious awareness of Scott C. Wallace, Chuck Kirk and Clyde Cornell, in each case after reasonable inquiry of their respective direct reports at the Company's headquarters, and "the Purchaser's knowledge" as used herein shall mean the actual knowledge or conscious awareness of David Ownby and Peter Brandow, in each case after reasonable inquiry of the officers, directors and employees of the Purchaser.

All notices, demands and other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when personally delivered, (b) when transmitted via telecopy (or other facsimile device) to the number set out below if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (c) the day following the day (except if not a Business Day then the next Business Day) on which the same has been delivered prepaid to a reputable national overnight air courier service or (d) the third Business Day following the day on which the same is sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the Company's or the Stockholder Representative's rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by the Company or the Stockholder Representative without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of the preceding sentences of this Section 13.06 will be null and void.

Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

exception to a representation or warranty unless such disclosure on the Schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules or Exhibits attached hereto is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the Ordinary Course of Business. The information contained in this Agreement and in the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law or breach of contract).

Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ESCROW AGREEMENT OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Purchaser and Merger Sub Deliveries. Each of the Purchaser and Merger Sub agrees and acknowledges that all documents or other items delivered or made available to the Purchaser's Representatives shall be deemed to be delivered or made available, as the case may be, to the Purchaser and Merger Sub for all purposes hereunder.

Delivery by Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any signed agreement entered into in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such contract, each other party hereto or thereto shall re–execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such contract shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or contract was transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Jurisdiction. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, the Delaware Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of the State of Delaware, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 13.05 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

No Recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, the parties to this Agreement agree on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective Subsidiaries

and Affiliates that no Non‑Recourse Party of a party to this Agreement shall have any liability relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein except to the extent agreed to in writing by such Non-Recourse Party.

Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non‑breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties agree that such non‑breaching party shall be entitled to seek, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or in equity, to enforce their rights and the other party's obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security).
