(iv) Seller shall deliver to Buyer executed documentation with respect to the Credit Facility, in each case, that provides that, upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, all material obligations of the Purchased Subsidiaries with respect to the Credit Facility and all Liens securing the Credit Facility with respect to the Purchased Interests, the Purchased Subsidiaries and the assets of the Business shall be terminated and be of no further force and effect.

Section 2.04 Adjustment Amount.

(a) Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and in no event more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written statement, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), which shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the applicable definitions contained herein, setting forth (i) its good faith estimate of (A) the Closing Date Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital”), (B) the Indebtedness as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness”), (C) the Cash and Cash Equivalents of the Purchased Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing , not to exceed an amount equal to $2,500,000 (the “Estimated Closing Date Cash”) and (D) the Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”), (ii) its calculation of the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, and (iii) its resulting calculation of the Purchase Price under Section 2.02(a) (the “Estimated Purchase Price”).

(b) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) which shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the applicable definitions contained herein, setting forth (i) a calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, (ii) a calculation of the Indebtedness as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Date Indebtedness”), (iii) a calculation of the Cash and Cash Equivalents of the Purchased Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing, not to exceed an amount equal to $2,500,000 (the “Closing Date Cash”) and (iv) a calculation of the Transaction Expenses. Nothing in this Section 2.04 is intended to be used to adjust for errors, omissions or inconsistencies that may be found with respect to the Financial Statements, or any actual or alleged failure of the Financial Statements to be prepared in accordance with GAAP or in good faith. Following the Closing, Buyer shall provide Seller and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the records, properties, personnel and (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters) auditors of Buyer utilized in the preparation of the Closing Statement and shall cause the personnel of Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries)

involved in the preparation of the Closing Statement to reasonably cooperate, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, with Seller and its Representatives in connection with their review of the Closing Statement.

(c) If Seller disagrees with the calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Transaction Expenses and/or the Closing Date Cash, it shall notify Buyer of such disagreement in writing, setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement, within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of the Closing Statement. In the event that Seller does not provide such a notice of disagreement within such forty-five (45)-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness and the Closing Date Cash delivered by Buyer, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such notice of disagreement is timely provided, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of forty-five (45) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculations of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Transaction Expenses or the Closing Date Cash (or of any line item contained in any of the foregoing), and all such discussions related thereto shall (unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Buyer) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then Grant Thornton LLP (or such other independent accounting or financial consulting firm of recognized national standing as may be mutually selected by Buyer and Seller) (the “Auditor”) shall resolve any remaining disagreements. Seller and Buyer shall instruct the Auditor to determine as promptly as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days of the date on which such dispute is referred to the Auditor, whether the Closing Statement was prepared in accordance with the standards set forth in the Accounting Principles and the applicable definitions contained herein and (only with respect to the remaining disagreements submitted to the Auditor) whether and to what extent (if any) the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Transaction Expenses or the Closing Date Cash require adjustment; provided, that in resolving any disputed amount in connection with such determination, the Auditor may not assign a value to the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Transaction Expenses or the Closing Date Cash greater than the greatest amount for such value, or less than the smallest amount for such value, in either case, claimed by Buyer in the Closing Statement or Seller in its notice of disagreement delivered pursuant to this Section 2.04(c). The Auditor shall consider only those items and amounts in Buyer’s and Seller’s respective calculations (as set forth in the Closing Statement and the notice of disagreement described above, respectively) of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Transaction Expenses, and the Closing Date Cash that are identified as being items and amounts to which Buyer and Seller have been unable to agree and shall only be permitted to determine whether such items are calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the applicable definitions contained herein, and Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Auditor not to make any other determination, including any determination as to whether the Target Net Working Capital or any estimates on the Estimated Closing Statement are correct, adequate or sufficient. The fees and expenses of the Auditor shall be paid one-half by Buyer (or its Subsidiaries) and one-half by Seller (or the Retained Entities). Absent manifest error, the determination of the Auditor shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall not be subject to appeal or further review; provided, however, that the Parties shall be entitled to have a judgment entered upon the written determination of the Auditor in accordance with Section 10.07. The date on which the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Transaction Expenses and the Closing Date Cash are finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.04(c) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.”

(d) The “Adjustment Amount,” which may be positive or negative, shall mean (i) the Closing Date Net Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with Section

2.04(c)), minus the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, plus (ii) the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, minus the Closing Date Indebtedness (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.04(c)), plus (iii) the Closing Date Cash (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.04(c)), minus the Estimated Closing Date Cash, plus (iv) the Estimated Transaction Expenses minus the Transaction Expenses (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.04(c)). If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the Adjustment Amount (the “Increase Amount”), and if the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount (the “Deficit Amount”). The Adjustment Amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.04(e).

(e) If there is an Increase Amount, then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the Determination Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller (and/or one or more Retained Entities designated by Seller) an amount in cash equal to the Increase Amount in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by Seller, by written notice to Buyer. If there is a Deficit Amount, then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the Determination Date, Seller shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, to Buyer an amount in cash equal to the Deficit Amount in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by Buyer, by written notice to TransUnion. For U.S. federal income and other applicable Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any Increase Amount or Deficit Amount pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be treated as an adjustment to the portion of the Purchase Price attributable to the relevant Purchased Interests.

ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties of Seller

Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules (but subject to Section 10.13), Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date of this Agreement that:

Section 3.01 Existence and Power of Seller. Seller is duly organized and validly existing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization, formation or incorporation, as applicable. Seller (a) is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing (to the extent such concepts are recognized under applicable Law) in each other jurisdiction in which the properties of the Business leased by it or the operation of the Business makes such licensing or qualification necessary and (b) Seller has the requisite power and authority to enable it to own the Purchased Interests, except in the case of clause (a) or (b) where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.02 Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller, TRADS or TopCo of the Transaction Documents, in each case, to which any of them is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby are within Seller’s, TRADS’ and TopCo’s organizational powers and have been (or will be prior to execution) duly authorized by all necessary organizational action on the part of Seller, TRADS and TopCo, as applicable, and no other or further action or proceeding on the part of Seller Parent, Seller, TRADS, any Purchased Subsidiary, or any of their respective equityholders is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by each of Seller, TRADS and TopCo of the Transaction Documents, in each case, to which any of them is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and (assuming the due and valid execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer) constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general

principles of equity. Each other Transaction Document to which Seller, TRADS or TopCo is a party shall be duly and validly executed by Seller, TRADS or TopCo at or prior to the Closing and, upon such execution and delivery by Seller, TRADS or TopCo and the due and valid execution and delivery of such Transaction Document by each other party thereto, shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, TRADS and TopCo enforceable against Seller, TRADS and TopCo in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity.

Section 3.03 Governmental Authorization. Assuming the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement, no consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required on the part of Seller Parent, Seller, TRADS or any Purchased Subsidiary with respect to Seller’s, TRADS’ or TopCo’s execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except for (a) applicable requirements of Competition Laws and the Exchange Act, (b) any consents, approvals, authorizations, declarations or filings, the failure of which to make or obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Business or the Purchased Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or on Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (c) those consents disclosed in Schedule 3.03.

Section 3.04 Noncontravention. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.04, subject to the receipt of the consents, approvals, authorizations and other requirements set forth in Section 3.03 or in Schedule 3.03, and except as may result from any facts or circumstances relating solely to Buyer, the execution and delivery by Seller, TRADS, and TopCo of the Transaction Documents to which any of them is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not, (a) violate any applicable Law to which Seller, TRADS or any Purchased Subsidiary is subject or by which any property or asset of the Business is bound, (b) violate any provision of, or result in a breach of, the Organizational Documents of Seller, TRADS or any Purchased Subsidiary, (c) violate any provision of, or result in a breach of or default under, or require a consent under, any Material Contract, or terminate or result in the termination of, or give rise to any right of termination or cancellation under any Material Contract, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) under any Material Contract or upon any of the properties or assets of the Purchased Subsidiaries or the Business, or constitute an event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would result in any such violation, breach, default, termination or creation of a Lien or (d) result in a violation or revocation of, or require a consent in connection with, any Permit, except to the extent that the occurrence of any of the foregoing items set forth in clauses (a), (c) or (d) would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Business or the Purchased Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 3.05 Purchased Subsidiaries.

(a) Each Purchased Subsidiary is duly organized and validly existing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization, formation or incorporation, as applicable and has the requisite power and authority to own or lease all of its material assets and to conduct the Business in all material respects as currently conducted by it. Each Purchased Subsidiary is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing (to the extent such concepts are recognized under applicable Law) in each other jurisdiction in which the properties leased by it or the operation of the Business makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Seller has made available to Buyer complete and correct copies of the Organizational Documents of the Purchased Subsidiaries. There has been no violation of any of the provisions of the

Organizational Documents of any Purchased Subsidiary except to the extent that any such violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Business or the Purchased Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b) All of the Purchased Interests are owned of record by Seller, free and clear of all Liens, other than (i) Liens securing indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility (which Liens relating to the Purchased Interests shall be released as of the Closing upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) and (ii) transfer restrictions of general applicability under applicable federal and state securities Laws. All of the Purchased Interests have been duly authorized and validly issued in compliance with all applicable Laws, are fully paid and non-assessable and have not been issued in violation of, nor are the Purchased Interests subject to, any preemptive or subscription rights. The Purchased Interests constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of TopCo. There is no existing option, warrant, call, right or agreement to which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) is a party that requires, and there are no securities of TopCo outstanding that upon conversion or exchange would require, the issuance or sale, or that restrict the transfer or voting, of any capital stock or other equity interest of TopCo, as applicable, or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock or other equity interest of TopCo. There is no other contract or commitment obligating TopCo to issue, deliver, sell, purchase, redeem or acquire, or cause to be issued, delivered, sold, purchased, redeemed or acquired, equity or securities of TopCo (or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, equity interests of TopCo), or obligating TopCo to grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant call, right commitment or agreement. Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) is a party to any voting trust or other agreement with respect to the voting, redemption, sale, transfer or other disposition of the interests of TopCo and there are no outstanding bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness for borrowed money having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters for which equityholders of TopCo may vote. Assuming that the delivery described in Section 2.03(c)(v) is made prior to or at the Closing, Seller has good, valid and marketable title to, and has the right to transfer and sell, the Purchased Interests to Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) All of the Subsidiary Shares (including the voting rights attached to such Subsidiary Shares) are owned of record by Seller or the Purchased Subsidiary set forth on Schedule 3.05(c), free and clear of all Liens, other than transfer restrictions of general applicability under applicable federal and state securities Laws. All of the Subsidiary Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and allotted in compliance with all applicable Laws, are fully paid and non-assessable and have not been issued in violation of, nor are the Subsidiary Shares subject to, any preemptive or subscription rights. The Subsidiary Shares constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Purchased Subsidiaries other than TopCo. There is no existing option, warrant, call, right or agreement to which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) is a party that requires, and there are no securities of any Purchased Subsidiaries (other than TopCo, which is addressed in Section 3.05(b)) outstanding that upon conversion or exchange would require, the issuance of any capital stock or other equity interest of any Purchased Subsidiary (other than TopCo, which is addressed in Section 3.05(b)), as applicable, or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock or other equity interest of any Purchased Subsidiary (other than TopCo, which is addressed in Section 3.05(b)). There is no other contract or commitment obligating any Purchased Subsidiary to issue, deliver, sell, purchase, redeem or acquire, or cause to be issued, delivered, sold, purchased, redeemed or acquired, equity securities of such Purchased Subsidiary (or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, equity interests of such Purchased Subsidiary), or obligating such Purchased Subsidiary to grant, extend or enter into any such contract or commitment. Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) is a party to any

voting trust or other agreement with respect to the voting, redemption, sale, transfer or other disposition of the interests of any Purchased Subsidiary (other than TopCo, which is addressed in Section 3.05(b)) and there are no outstanding bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness for borrowed money having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exercisable or exchange for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters for which holders of the Subsidiary Shares are entitled to vote by virtue of their ownership of the Subsidiary Shares. The Purchased Subsidiaries do not hold, directly or indirectly, any capital stock of, or other equity interests in, and do not control and have not made any equity investment in, directly or indirectly, any other Person besides the Purchased Subsidiaries.

Section 3.06 Financial Statements.Attached as Schedule 3.06 are true and complete copies of (i) the carve-out unaudited combined balance sheet of the Business as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related carve-out unaudited combined statements of income for each of the years in the two (2)-year period ended December 31, 2020 (collectively, the “Carve-out Unaudited Annual Financial Statements”) which have been prepared in conformity with GAAP except as otherwise referenced herein and (ii) the carve-out unaudited combined balance sheet of the Business as of June 30, 2021 and the related carve-out unaudited combined statement of income for the six-month period then ended (the “Carve-out Unaudited Interim Financial Statements” and, together with the Carve-out Unaudited Annual Financial Statements, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Seller Parent and its applicable Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Business as of the dates thereof and the results of operations of the Business as of the times and for the periods referred to therein (subject to certain adjustments made to present the Financial Statements on a carve-out basis and the absence of disclosures normally made in footnotes, the provision for income taxes, which is based on preliminary estimates, and, in the case of the Carve-out Unaudited Interim Financial Statements, normal year-end adjustments, (none of which are, individually or in the aggregate, material)). This Section 3.06 is qualified by the fact that the Business has not operated as a separate “stand alone” entity within Seller Parent. As a result, the Business has been allocated certain charges and credits for purposes of the preparation of the Financial Statements. Such allocations of charges and credits do not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted from arms-length transactions or the actual costs that would be incurred if the Business operated as an independent enterprise. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding three sentences qualify the representations made in this Section 3.06 in their entirety.

Section 3.07 Absence of Certain Changes. Except for actions taken in preparation for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Pre-Closing Intercompany Assignments), (a) from December 31, 2020 through the date of this Agreement, the Business has been conducted in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices in all material respects and (b) since December 31, 2020, there has not been any effect, event, change, occurrence or development that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.08 No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.08, there is no Liability of the Business to be transferred of a type required to be reflected or reserved for on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, except for (a) liabilities reflected or reserved for on the Financial Statements, (b) liabilities that have arisen since the Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of the operation of the Business, (c) liabilities incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or (d) immaterial liabilities.

Section 3.09 Material Contracts.

(a) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.09(a), as of the date of this Agreement, none of Seller, TRADS or any of the Purchased Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any of the following (in each case, solely with respect to the Business (and not with respect to any Retained Business)):

(b) Except for Permitted Liens, as contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement or as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to the Business or the Purchased Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, no Person other than the Purchased Subsidiaries has the right to use or occupy the Leased Real Property.

(c) Seller has made available to Buyer a true and correct copy of each Lease. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.12(c), (i) each Lease (together with any amendment thereto) is valid and in full force and effect, represents the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller or its applicable Affiliate that is the tenant thereunder, is unmodified and represents the entire agreement between Seller or its applicable Affiliate, as tenant, and the applicable lessor and (ii) Seller or its applicable Affiliate that is the tenant thereunder, as applicable, and, to the knowledge of Seller, each other party thereto is not in breach of or default of its obligations under such Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, except for such defaults as would not have a material and adverse effect on the Business, taken as a whole. All rent (including base rent and additional rent) payable under each Lease has been paid to date, except for any such failure to pay that would not be material or would not otherwise result in a material breach or material default of the applicable Lease.

(d) As of the date hereof, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates has received any written notice from any Governmental Authority in the past two years that (i) any condemnation proceeding is pending or threatened with respect to any Leased Real Property or (ii) any material zoning or building code, ordinance, order or regulation is violated in any material respect by the operation or use of the Leased Real Property.

(b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.13(b), (i) Seller or its Affiliates are the sole and exclusive owners of all Owned IP free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted Liens, (ii) as of the date hereof, no Action is pending that challenges the validity, ownership or enforceability of any Owned IP and (iii) to the knowledge of Seller, as of the date hereof, no third party is infringing, misappropriating, diluting or violating or has in the past three (3) years infringed, misappropriated, diluted, or violated, any Owned IP.

(c) Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.13(c), (i) the Purchased Subsidiaries, the conduct of the Business and the use of any products or services of the Business as intended by the Purchased Subsidiaries do not infringe, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate, and have not in the past three (3) years infringed, misappropriated, diluted, or otherwise violated, any Intellectual Property Rights of any other Person, and (ii) neither Seller nor its Affiliates have received any charge, complaint, claim, demand or notice during the three (3) years prior to the date of this Agreement alleging that the Purchased Subsidiaries, the conduct of the Business, or the use of any products or services of the Business as intended by the Purchased Subsidiaries, infringes, misappropriates, dilutes or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property Rights of any other Person.

(d) Seller and the Purchased Subsidiaries have taken commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of all trade secrets and other material confidential information in the Owned IP. Each current and former employee of Seller or any of the Purchased Subsidiaries who materially contributed to the development of any Owned IP has acknowledged and agreed to abide by Seller’s company policy on inventions, confidential information and trade secrets, including that employee automatically assigns all right, title and interest of such employee in such Intellectual Property Rights to Seller or an Affiliate of Seller and agreeing to confidentiality provisions protective of the confidential information of the Business. To Seller’s knowledge, no current or former employee of the Business is in violation of such company policy.

(e) The manner in which any Open Source Software is incorporated into, linked to or called by, or otherwise combined or distributed with any product or service of the Business does not, according to the terms of the license applicable to such Open Source Software, obligate Seller or any of the Purchased Subsidiaries to: (i) disclose, make available, offer or deliver all or any portion of any source code of any such software product or service or any component thereof to any third party, other than the applicable Open Source Software, or (ii) create obligations for Seller or any of the Purchased Subsidiaries to grant, or purport to grant, to any third party any rights or immunities under any Owned IP (including any agreement not to assert patents), or impose any present economic limitations on Seller’s or any of the Purchased Subsidiaries’ commercial exploitation thereof.

(f) Neither Seller nor any of the Purchased Subsidiaries has delivered, licensed or made available to any escrow agent or other Person any source code for any product or service of the Business except for disclosures to employees and independent contractors for the Business that are subject to written confidentiality obligations to maintain the confidentiality of such source code and who have had such access only during the term of their employment by or provision of services to the Business or the Purchased Subsidiaries. None of Seller or any of the Purchased Subsidiaries has any duty or obligation (whether present, contingent or otherwise) to deliver, license or make available the source code for any product or service of the Business to any escrow agent or other Person.

(g) No contract to which any Purchased Subsidiary is a party would, upon or after Closing, grant or purport to grant to any Person any license, covenant not to sue, or other rights related to Intellectual Property Rights owned by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Subsidiaries). All Intellectual Property Rights used in or necessary to the conduct of the Business as currently conducted shall be owned or available for use by the Purchased Subsidiaries immediately after the Closing on terms and conditions sufficient to operate the Business in substantially the same manner as it was conducted immediately prior to the Closing.

(h) The IT Assets are (i) in all material respects in good repair and operating condition to perform all information technology operations to operate the Business, and (ii) to Seller’s knowledge, do not contain and have not been affected by, any virus, spyware, malware, worm, Trojan horse, or other disabling codes or instructions, or other similar code or software routines or components. The Business has not experienced a material outage of the IT Assets during the past two (2) years where such effects on the IT Assets have not been materially cured.

(i) During the six (6) years prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller and its Affiliates have operated the Business in material compliance with all applicable Information Privacy and Security Requirements and Privacy Policies. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement nor any of the other agreements contemplated by this Agreement, nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any such other agreements violate any Information Privacy and Requirements or Privacy Policies. Where Seller or its Affiliates use a Data Processor to Process Personal Information in the operation of the Business, the Data Processor has provided guarantees, warranties or covenants in relation to Processing of Personal Information, confidentiality, and security measures, and has agreed to comply with those obligations in a manner sufficient for compliance, by Seller and its Affiliates, with Privacy Requirements.

(j) Seller and its Affiliates have established an Information Security Program with respect to the Business that is appropriately implemented and maintained, and Seller and its Affiliates have materially complied with such Information Security Program in connection with the operation of the Business. Seller and its Affiliates have (i) assessed and tested such Information Security Program used in connection with the Business on a no less than annual basis and (ii) cured all known risks and vulnerabilities to the extent material to the Business in a timely manner; and, with respect to the operation of the Business, such Information Security Program has proven sufficient and compliant with Information Privacy and Security Requirements in all material respects. All Business Data will continue to be available for Processing by the Business following the Closing on substantially the same terms and conditions as existed immediately before the Closing.

(k) With respect to the operation of the Business, Seller and the Purchased Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of Seller, its Data Processors have not suffered any material Security Incident. None of Seller, any of the Purchased Subsidiaries, or any third party acting at their direction or authorization has paid any perpetrator of any actual or threatened Security Incident or cyber attack, including a ransomware attack or a denial-of-service attack, with respect to Business Data or IT Assets. Neither Seller nor the Purchased Subsidiaries have received a written notice (including any enforcement notice), letter, or complaint from a Governmental Authority or any Person alleging material noncompliance or potential noncompliance with any Information Privacy and Security Requirements or Privacy Policies as related to the Business, and have not been subject to any Proceeding relating to material noncompliance or potential noncompliance with Information Privacy and Security Requirements or the Processing of Personal Information as related to the Business. Seller and the Purchased Subsidiaries do not transfer Personal Information internationally on behalf of the Business, except where such transfers comply with Information Privacy and Security Requirements and Privacy Policies. In connection with the operation of the Business, Seller and its Affiliates have not been, and are not

required to, issue a notification or report to any Governmental Authority regarding any Security Incident.

(a) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.14(a), (i) the Purchased Subsidiaries, in the aggregate, own, lease, license or have the right to use, and have good and marketable title to (or a valid leasehold interest in or license to), all material tangible assets and properties of the Purchased Subsidiaries, in each case, free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens and (ii) Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Subsidiaries) have good and marketable title to (or a valid leasehold interest in or license to) all material tangible assets of the Business held by Seller and such Affiliates, as applicable, in each case, free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens.

Section 3.15 Permits. The Business possesses all material governmental permits, approvals, orders, authorizations, consents, licenses, certificates, franchises, exemptions of, or filings or registrations with, or issued by, any Governmental Authority required by Law for the operation of the Business as currently conducted (the “Permits”), except when any failure to possess such Permits would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to the Business or the Purchased Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. All such Permits are in full force and effect, and, as of the date hereof, there are no Actions pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened before any Governmental Authority that seek the revocation, cancellation, suspension or adverse modification thereof, except as would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material and adverse effect on the Business or the Purchased Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(e) (i) Each Assumed Plan materially complies with and has been maintained, funded, operated and administered in material compliance with its terms and with applicable Law and (ii) except as would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Purchased Subsidiaries, all payments (including premiums due) and all employer and employee contributions required to have been collected in respect of each Purchased Subsidiary Plan and Assumed Plan have been paid when due.

(f) There are no actions or legal proceedings pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened with respect to any Purchased Subsidiary Plan or, to Seller’s knowledge, any fiduciary (in its capacity as fiduciary of such Purchased Subsidiary Plan) or assets thereof. No Purchased Subsidiary Plan is currently under audit or review by any applicable Governmental Authority.

(g) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (either alone or in connection with any other event, whether contingent or otherwise) will: (i) entitle any Business Employee to any material payment, forgiveness of Indebtedness, vesting, distribution, or increase in benefits or compensation under or with respect to any Employee Plan or Purchased Subsidiary Plan; (ii) result in any acceleration (of vesting or payment of benefits or compensation or otherwise) under or with respect to any Employee Plan or Purchased Subsidiary Plan; (iii) trigger any obligation to fund any Employee Plan or Purchased Subsidiary Plan; or (iv) result in any Employee Plan, Purchased Subsidiary Plan or any other Contract to which Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party with respect to the Business providing for the payment of any amount which would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code.

ARTICLE IV
Representations and Warranties of Buyer

Buyer represents and warrants to Seller as of the date of this Agreement that:

Section 4.01 Existence and Power. Buyer is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power and authority to enable it to own, operate, lease and otherwise hold its assets and to conduct its business in all material respects as it is now being conducted. Buyer is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing (to the extent such concepts are recognized under applicable Law) in each jurisdiction in which the properties owned or leased, by it or the operation of its business makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to,

individually or in the aggregate, interfere with, prevent or delay the ability of Buyer to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 4.02 Authorization.

Each other Transaction Document to which Buyer is a party shall be duly and validly executed by Buyer at or prior to the Closing and, upon such execution and delivery by Buyer and the due and valid execution and delivery of such Transaction Document by each other party thereto, shall constitute a legal, valid and binding agreement of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity.

Section 4.03 Governmental Authorization.

Section 4.05 Financing.

(a) As of the date of this Agreement, Buyer has delivered to Seller a copy of (i) the Equity Commitment Letter, duly executed by the Equity Financing Sources and dated as of the date hereof, pursuant to which the Equity Financing Sources have committed to provide equity financing in an aggregate amount of $861,052,879.41, subject to terms and conditions set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”) and (ii) a debt commitment letter, duly executed by Buyer and dated as of the date hereof (including all exhibits, schedules and annexes thereto and any associated fee letter, the “Debt Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which the Financing Sources party thereto have committed to provide the debt financing commitments contained therein, subject to terms and conditions set forth therein (the “Debt Financing” and, together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”), together with the fee letter referenced in the Debt Commitment Letter (the “Debt Fee Letter”) (except that the fee amounts, other economic terms,

“market flex” and other customary provisions (none of which would adversely affect the amount, conditionality, availability or termination of the Debt Financing) set forth therein have been redacted). The Equity Commitment Letter provides that Seller is an express third-party beneficiary thereto to the extent provided therein.

(b) As of the date hereof: (i) the Commitment Letters and the terms of the Financing have not been amended or modified prior to the date hereof; (ii) no such amendment or modification is contemplated (other than amendments to the Debt Commitment Letter as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof); and (iii) the respective commitments contained therein have not been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect. There are no other Contracts, agreements, side letters or arrangements to which Buyer is a party relating to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letters, that would reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing to an amount less than the amount necessary to fund the Financing Purposes. Other than as set forth in the Commitment Letters, there are no conditions precedent related to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Financing.

(c) The net proceeds of the Financing, when funded in accordance with the Commitment Letters, will be, in the aggregate and together with Buyer’s cash on hand, sufficient for Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (a) paying the Estimated Purchase Price and all other amounts required to be paid by Buyer at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.03, and (b) paying all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer and required to be paid at the Closing by Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Financing Purposes”).

(d) The Commitment Letters are in full force and effect and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Buyer, the Guarantors (in the case of the Equity Commitment letter) and, to Buyer’s knowledge, each of the other parties thereto, as applicable, enforceable against each of Buyer and, to Buyer’s knowledge, each of the other parties thereto, as applicable, in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity. To Buyer’s knowledge, no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would, or would reasonably be expected to, constitute a default or breach on the part of Buyer, the Guarantors or, to Buyer’s knowledge, any other party thereto, pursuant to the Commitment Letters. Assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02, Buyer has no any reason to believe that any of the conditions to receipt of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters will not be satisfied or the Financing will not be available as and when needed at the Closing. As of the date hereof, Buyer has fully paid, or caused to be fully paid, all commitment or other fees that are due and payable on or prior to the date hereof, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letters.

(e) None of the Guarantors, any Equity Financing Source, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates has entered into any Contract, arrangement or understanding (i) awarding any agent, broker, investment banker or financial advisor any financial advisory role on an exclusive basis in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (ii) expressly prohibiting any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt financing from providing or seeking to provide debt financing or financial advisory services to any Person in connection with a transaction relating to the Purchased Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Guarantors have delivered to Seller the duly executed Limited Guaranty. The Limited Guaranty is in full force and effect, has not been amended or modified, and is a legal, valid, binding and enforceable

obligation of each of the Guarantors enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity. No event has occurred which (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) would constitute a default on the part of any Guarantor under the Limited Guaranty.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the funding of the Financing constitute a condition to Closing.

Section 4.06 Litigation. There are no Actions pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened in writing against Buyer, except for such Actions as would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, interfere with, prevent or delay the ability of Buyer to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 4.07 Solvency. Buyer is not entering into this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries. Assuming (i) that the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 3.06 and Section 3.08 of this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects and (ii) that the Purchased Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are solvent as of immediately prior to Closing, immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) on a consolidated basis (a) will be solvent (in that both the fair value of its assets will not be less than the sum of its debts and that the fair saleable value (determined on a going concern basis) of its assets will not, as of such date, be less than the amount required to pay its probable liability on its recourse debts as they mature or become due), (b) will have adequate capital and liquidity with which to engage in its business and (c) will not have incurred debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature or become due.

Section 4.08 Purchase for Investment. Buyer is purchasing the Purchased Interests for investment for its own account and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Buyer (either alone or together with its advisors) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Purchased Interests and is capable of bearing the economic risks of such investment. Buyer understands and agrees that the Purchased Interests may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from such registration available under the Securities Act, and without compliance with state, local and foreign securities Laws, in each case, to the extent applicable.

Section 4.09 Finders’ Fees. There is no investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of Buyer or any of its Affiliates that might be entitled to any fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which Seller may be liable.

Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections and other forecasts and plans and accordingly is not relying on them, that Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, and that Buyer and its Affiliates and Representatives shall have no claim against Seller, its Affiliates (including any Retained Entity) or any other Person with respect thereto. Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that, without limiting the generality of Section 3.24, neither Seller, nor any of its Representatives (including any Retained Entity) or their Affiliates, have made any representation or warranty with respect to such projections and other forecasts and plans.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, it is the explicit intent of the Parties that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates (including any Retained Entity) or their Representatives are making any representation or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby beyond those expressly given in Article III of this Agreement (subject to the Disclosure Schedules) the certificate delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 8.02(c), including any implied warranty or representation as to the value, condition, non-infringement, merchantability, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose as to any of the assets of the Purchased Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in Article III of this Agreement (subject to the Disclosure Schedules) or in the certificate delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 8.02(c), and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, it is understood that Buyer is acquiring the Purchased Subsidiaries as is and where is with any and all faults and defects as of the Closing Date.

Buyer acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation of the financial condition, Liabilities, results of operations and projected operations of the Business and the nature and condition of its properties, assets and businesses and, in making the determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby, has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation and the representations and warranties set forth in Article III (subject to the Disclosure Schedules) the certificate delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 8.02(c).

Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to take such actions as may be required or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the waiting, notice or review periods under the Competition Laws or with respect to any Regulatory Approval, in each case, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement. Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, “pull-and-refile,” pursuant to 16 C.F.R. 803.12, any filing made under the HSR Act or take any similar action

under the other Competition Laws or with respect to any Regulatory Approval, in each case, with respect to any filing made with any Governmental Authority.

(e) From the date of this Agreement until Closing, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and the Buyer Controlling Persons not to, acquire or agree to acquire, by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or any equity in, or by any other manner, any assets or Person, if the execution and delivery of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such acquisition would reasonably be expected to have, or has, the effect of (i) preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) delaying the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby beyond the Outside Date.

Section 5.04 Shared Contracts. Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate with each other and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shared Contracts to be amended and/or replaced with separate contracts (the “Replacement Contracts”) that provide that (a) Seller or any Retained Entity designated by Seller receives contract rights and is bound by obligations under the Replacement Contracts that are substantially similar to those contract rights and obligations

under the Shared Contracts applicable to the conduct of the Retained Business prior to the Closing and (b) any Purchased Subsidiary receives contract rights and is bound by obligations under the Replacement Contracts that are substantially similar to those contract rights and obligations under the Shared Contracts applicable to the conduct of the Business prior to the Closing. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate and provide each other with reasonable assistance in effecting such separation of the Shared Contracts prior to the Closing and, if not completed by the Closing with respect to any Shared Contract, for a period of six (6) months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to expend any material amount of money, incur any Liabilities, commence any Action, or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party, including any accommodation or arrangement to remain secondarily liable or contingently liable for any Liability of the other, in order to effect the separation of a Shared Contract or obtain any Replacement Contract. If Buyer and Seller are not able to effect the separation of a Shared Contract prior to the Closing, then after the Closing, until any such Shared Contract is separated, to the extent permissible under Law and under the terms of such Shared Contract, Buyer and Seller shall, or shall cause one of their Affiliates to, (i) assume and perform the Liabilities under such Shared Contract relating to (A) in the case of Buyer, the Business and (B) in the case of Seller, the Retained Business (and in each case, the applicable Party shall promptly reimburse the other Party for any reasonable expenses relating thereto incurred by the other Party or its Subsidiaries), (ii) hold in trust for the benefit of the other Party, and shall promptly forward to the other Party, any monies or other benefits received pursuant to such Shared Contract relating to the business of the other Party (or the business of its Subsidiaries) and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to institute alternative arrangements intended to put the Parties in a substantially similar economic position as if such Shared Contract was separated as described above; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Closing, (x) no Party shall have any obligation to renew any Shared Contract upon the expiration or termination thereof and (y) to the extent any such Shared Contract contains an “evergreen” provision that automatically renews such Shared Contract unless terminated or cancelled by either party thereto, the applicable Party shall not be prohibited from terminating or canceling such Shared Contract as permitted pursuant to the terms thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to Liabilities arising under or resulting from any Shared Contract (whether first arising prior to or after the Closing, and including any such Liability under a Shared Contract as to which a Replacement Contract is not obtained prior to Closing), including any Liabilities resulting from any products or services provided under such Shared Contract, from and after the Closing (1) to the extent such Liabilities are related exclusively to the Business, Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) shall be responsible for such Liabilities and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates (including the Retained Entities) for such Liabilities, (2) to the extent such Liabilities are related exclusively to the Retained Business, Seller and its Affiliates (including the Retained Entities) shall be responsible for such Liabilities and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) for such Liabilities and (3) to the extent such Liabilities are not clearly exclusively related to either the Business or the Retained Business, such Liabilities shall be allocated between the Business, on the one hand, and the Retained Business, on the other hand, based on the relative proportions of total benefits received (to the extent the Liabilities relate to a specific period, over such period, and otherwise over the term of such Shared Contract, measured up to the date of the allocation, without duplication) by the Business, on the one hand, or the Retained Business, on the other hand, under such Shared Contract and (A) Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) shall be responsible for such Liabilities so allocated to the Business and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates (including the Retained Entities) for such Liabilities so allocated and (B) Seller and its Affiliates (including the Retained Entities) shall be responsible for such Liabilities so allocated to the Retained Business and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) for such Liabilities so allocated.

Section 5.05 Pre-Closing Intercompany Assignments and Wrong Pockets; Third Party Approvals.

(a) Subject to Section 5.05(b) below, prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) cause the Contracts, the Trademark and the Patent set forth in Schedule 5.05(a) and any other Contracts exclusively related to the Business held by Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Subsidiaries) to be assigned to a Purchased Subsidiary and (ii) in the event that Seller or any of its Affiliates determine that any tangible or intangible assets or properties held by Seller or one of its Affiliates are required to be transferred to a Purchased Subsidiary at or prior to the Closing in order for the Purchased Subsidiaries to be able to operate the Business as of immediately following the Closing in all material respects in the manner in which it is conducted on the date hereof (after giving effect to all other rights of Buyer or the Purchased Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, the Commercial Agreements and the other Transaction Documents and after giving effect to all other Pre-Closing Intercompany Assignments and the entry into all Replacement Contracts), Seller shall cause such asset or property to be assigned to a Purchased Subsidiary (the transactions contemplated by clauses (i) and (ii), the “Pre-Closing Intercompany Assignments”).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 5.05(a), this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Contract, Trademark, Patent or other asset or property pursuant to the Pre-Closing Intercompany Assignments if such assignment, without the consent of, or other action by, any third party or any Governmental Authority, would constitute a breach or violation of any Contract or applicable Law (or other duty owed to such third party or Governmental Authority) or adversely affect the rights of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) thereunder (collectively, the “Non-Permitted Transfers”). In the event any Non-Permitted Transfers exist, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consents, waivers, approvals, orders and authorizations necessary to effect the Non-Permitted Transfers (collectively, the “Third Party Approvals”) prior to the Closing, and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller and its Affiliates in connection therewith. To the extent that any Third Party Approval has not been obtained prior to the Closing, for up to six (6) months after the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts, at the Buyer’s request, to endeavor to obtain such Third Party Approvals, and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller and its Affiliates in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to expend any material amount of money, incur any Liabilities, commence any Action, or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party, in order to obtain any such Third Party Approval. In addition, to the extent permitted by Law and any applicable Contract, in the event any Third Party Approval related to any particular Contract, Trademark, Patent or other asset or property has not been obtained by the Closing, at Buyer’s request, Seller and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such arrangements (such as subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) the economic and, to the extent permitted under applicable Law and not prohibited by such Contract, Trademark, Patent or other asset or property, operational equivalent of the transfer of such Contract, Trademark, Patent or other asset or property to Buyer as of the Closing, and shall hold in trust for and pay to Buyer or any Subsidiary of Buyer, as designated by Buyer, promptly upon receipt thereof, all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller or its Affiliates with respect to such Contract, Trademark, Patent or other asset or property, as applicable, to the extent related to such Contract, Trademark, Patent or other asset or property in connection with the arrangements under this Section 5.06(b) until such time as the Third Party Approval is obtained, but in no event longer than six (6) months after the Closing Date. For the period beginning on the Closing Date and not to exceed six (6) months after the Closing Date, Seller shall comply with all applicable covenants and obligations under any Contract, Trademark, Patent or other asset or property as to which a Third Party Approval has not been obtained,

including the payment of any costs or expenses in connection therewith, which shall be performed by Seller or its Affiliates for Buyer’s account and Buyer shall promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of an invoice from Seller) reimburse Seller for any actual and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses or payments made by Seller in respect of such Contract, Trademark, Patent or other asset or property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to renew any Contract as to which a Third Party Approval has not been obtained upon the expiration or termination thereof. In addition, to the extent that any such Contract contains an “evergreen” provision that automatically renews such Contract unless terminated or cancelled by either party thereto, Seller and its Affiliates shall not be prohibited from terminating or canceling such Contract as permitted pursuant to the terms thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to Liabilities arising under or resulting from any Contract, Trademark, Patent or other asset or property required to be assigned pursuant to the Pre-Closing Intercompany Assignments (whether first arising prior to or after the Closing, and including any such Liability under a Contract, Trademark, Patent or other asset or property that is unable to be assigned prior to Closing due to a Non-Permitted Transfer), including any Liabilities resulting from any products or services provided under such Contract, Trademark, Patent or other asset or property, from and after the Closing, Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) shall be responsible for such Liabilities and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates (including the Retained Entities) for such Liabilities, in each case, as long as Seller is in compliance with its obligations under this Section 5.05(b).

Section 5.06 Consents Generally.

(a) Buyer acknowledges that certain consents and approvals may be required as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including from Governmental Authorities or from parties to Contracts to which Seller and its Affiliates, including the Purchased Subsidiaries are a party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Third Party Approvals and any consent or approval required in connection with any Shared Contract or Replacement Contract) and that such consents and approvals (collectively, “Change of Control Consents”) have not been obtained and may not be obtained. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Change of Control Consents prior to the Closing; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties agree and acknowledge that none of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to expend any material amount of money, incur any Liabilities, commence any Action, or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party, in order to obtain any such Change of Control Consent.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer agrees that Seller, the Retained Entities and their respective Affiliates shall not have any Liability whatsoever to Buyer or its Affiliates (and Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to assert any claims) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any Change of Control Consents, including because of the default, acceleration or termination of or loss of right under any Contract as a result thereof, and that failure to obtain any Change of Control Consent shall not, in and of itself, constitute a condition to Closing. Buyer further agrees that, to the extent Seller has complied with its obligations under Section 5.06(a), no representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition to Closing shall be deemed not to be satisfied, as a result of the failure to obtain any Change of Control Consent or as a result of any such default, acceleration or termination or loss of right or any Action commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any Change of Control Consent or any such default, acceleration or termination or loss of right.

Section 5.07 Wrong Pockets. In the event that at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, Seller or the Retained Entities receives or otherwise possesses any right, property or asset that should belong to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (including Cash and Cash Equivalents), Seller shall as promptly as reasonably practicable transfer, or cause to be transferred, such right, property or asset to Buyer or the appropriate Purchased Subsidiary, designated by Buyer, for no additional consideration and net of Seller’s and the Retained Entities’ third-party out-of-pocket costs incurred to effectuate such transfer, and to the extent such asset is Cash and Cash Equivalents, Seller shall provide a general explanation or description of such transfer. Prior to any such transfer, Seller shall hold such asset in trust for the benefit of Buyer. In the event that at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, Buyer or any of its Affiliates, including the Purchased Subsidiaries, receives or otherwise possesses any property or asset that should belong to Seller or any of the Retained Entities pursuant to this Agreement (including Cash and Cash Equivalents), Buyer shall as promptly as reasonably practicable transfer, or cause to be transferred, such asset to Seller or the appropriate Retained Entity, designated by Seller, for no consideration and net of Buyer’s actual and documented out-of-pocket costs to effectuate such transfer, and to the extent such asset is Cash and Cash Equivalents, Buyer shall provide a general explanation or description of such transfer. Prior to any such transfer, Buyer shall hold such asset in trust for the benefit of Seller.

Section 5.08 Intercompany Balances; Affiliate Transactions.

(a) Except as set forth in Schedule 5.08(a), all intercompany balances between any of the Purchased Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Seller or any of the Retained Entities, on the other hand, shall be eliminated by discharge or otherwise in their entirety effective at or prior to the Closing.

(b) Except for the Transaction Documents or the Contracts set forth on Schedule 5.08(b), on or prior to the Closing, Seller shall take all actions necessary to cause any and all Contracts between Seller or any of the Retained Entities, on the one hand, and any Purchased Subsidiary, on the other hand, to have been terminated.

Section 5.09 Business Guarantees.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the respective beneficiary, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, on or before the Closing Date, valid and binding written unconditional releases of Seller and any Retained Entity, as applicable, from any Liability, whether arising before, on or after the Closing Date, under any Business Guarantees and any other guarantees, letters of credit, bonds, sureties and other credit support or assurances provided by Seller or any of the Retained Entities in support of any obligation of the Business (other than those set forth on Schedule 1.01(a)) identified in writing by Seller to Buyer following the date of this Agreement (“Additional Business Guaranties”), which shall be effective as of the Closing, including by furnishing letters of credit, instituting escrow arrangements, posting surety or performance bonds or making other arrangements as the counterparty may reasonably request.

(b) If any Business Guarantee or Additional Business Guarantee has not been fully and unconditionally released as of the Closing, (i) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to terminate, or, if the Parties are unable to so terminate, cause Buyer or one of its Subsidiaries to be substituted in all respects for Seller or any Retained Entity in respect of, all obligations under such Business Guarantees or Additional Business Guarantees, (ii) to the extent that the Parties are unable to cause such termination or substitution on commercially reasonable terms, the Retained Entities, as applicable, shall continue such Business Guarantees or Additional Business Guarantees for a period of no longer

than six (6) months following the Closing, and Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and the Retained Entities and their respective equityholders or Representatives for any Liabilities arising from or relating to such Business Guarantees or Additional Business Guarantees, including any claim or demand for payment made on Seller or any Retained Entity under, and any fees in connection with the issuance and maintenance of, any letters of credit or surety or performance bonds and (iii) Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of the Purchased Subsidiaries to (A) renew or extend the term of, (B) increase its obligations under, (C) transfer to another third party or (D) amend in any manner, except (x) as contemplated pursuant to clause (i) above, (y) if such amendment could not reasonably be expected to increase the Liabilities of Seller or the Retained Entities or any of their respective Affiliates and is not otherwise adverse to Seller or any of the Retained Entities or any of their respective Affiliates, or (z) as otherwise required by this Agreement, any loan, Contract or other obligation for which Seller or any Retained Entity is, or would reasonably be expected to be, liable under such Business Guarantee or Additional Business Guarantee. To the extent that Seller or the Retained Entities have performance obligations under any Business Guarantee or Additional Business Guarantee, Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) perform such obligations on behalf of Seller and the Retained Entities or (y) otherwise take such action as reasonably requested by Seller so as to put Seller and the Retained Entities in the same position as if Buyer, and not Seller or a Retained Entity, had performed or were performing such obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) at any time on or after the five (5) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller and each of the Retained Entities may, in such Person’s sole discretion, take any action to terminate, obtain release of or otherwise limit its Liability under any and all outstanding Business Guarantees or Additional Business Guarantees and (ii) at any time on or after the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any Retained Entity will have any obligation to renew any letters of credit or surety or performance bonds issued on behalf of any Purchased Subsidiary or the Business after the expiration of any such letters of credit or surety or performance bonds.

Section 5.10 Use of Retained Marks.

(a) Buyer and its Affiliates have, and after the Closing, the Purchased Subsidiaries shall have, no right, title, interest, license or any other right whatsoever in the Retained Marks, and neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates have, pursuant to the Transaction Documents or otherwise, assigned such right, title, interest, license or other right to Buyer, its Affiliates or the Purchased Subsidiaries other than to the extent necessary for the use of the Retained Marks as described in this Section 5.10.

(b) Subject to the terms of this Section 5.10, as of the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Purchased Subsidiaries to, cease and discontinue any use of the Retained Marks, refrain from any future application, incorporation, reproduction or display of all Retained Marks, and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, remove all Retained Marks from any marketing and promotional materials, invoices, business cards, schedules, displays, signs, stationery, technical guidelines, data sheets, product manuals, packing materials, inventory labels and other supplies and similar materials used in the Business (collectively, “Business Materials”), in each case, whether such Business Materials are held by Buyer or the Purchased Subsidiaries or under the control of Buyer or the Purchased Subsidiaries; provided that, Seller hereby grants Buyer and the Purchased Subsidiaries a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, paid-up royalty-free license, for a period of nine (9) months following the Closing, to continue to use any Business Materials that were previously created and included in the inventory of the Business and that incorporate the Retained Marks, solely in the manner such Business Materials were used in the Business prior to the Closing and solely to the extent that Buyer and the Purchased Subsidiaries maintain the same quality of the goods and services associated with the Retained Marks as was maintained prior to the Closing and in compliance with all applicable laws and

good trademark practice. All goodwill associated with the Buyer’s and the Purchased Subsidiaries’ use of the Retained Marks shall inure solely to the benefit of Seller and the Retained Entities.

(c) Before the Closing, (i) Seller and its Affiliates (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) may execute and file all documents as shall be necessary or desirable to change the name of the Purchased Subsidiaries to remove any Retained Marks, including the word “TransUnion” or any derivation or translation thereof, from such names and (ii) to the extent not already changed by Seller or its Affiliates (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) prior to the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable after the Closing but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Purchased Subsidiaries to, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, change the names of the Purchased Subsidiaries to remove any Retained Marks, including the word “TransUnion” or any derivation or translation thereof, including filings with the applicable Governmental Authority of each jurisdiction in which the ownership or the operation of the Purchased Subsidiaries’ assets or the character of its activities is such as to require it to be licensed or qualified in such jurisdiction, and providing notice to all customers, vendors and other suppliers of such name change, which notice in the case of clause (ii) shall be in a form to be agreed between Buyer and Seller in writing, with Seller’s and Buyer’s consent each not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

Section 5.11 Representation and Warranty Insurance. In the event that Buyer is issued a representation and warranty insurance policy with respect to this Agreement, Buyer shall cause such policy to provide that (i) the insurer under such policy shall have no right of subrogation, contribution or otherwise against Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, and the insurer under such policy has waived any such right of subrogation, contribution or otherwise except against Seller in the case of Fraud; and (ii) the foregoing provision described in clause (i) shall not be amended or waived without the prior written consent of Seller, and that Seller is an intended third party beneficiary of such provision. Buyer shall not agree to any amendment, variation or waiver of such representation and warranty insurance policy (or do anything that has a similar effect) that would adversely impact Seller or its Affiliates or Representatives without Seller’s prior written consent.

Section 5.12 Insurance. Notwithstanding the acquisition of the Purchased Interests by Buyer, Seller hereby expressly excludes, and does not assign, transfer or convey to Buyer, any rights or benefits of or to any insurance policies of Seller or its Affiliates (excluding any insurance policies of and solely with respect to the Purchased Subsidiaries or their respective predecessors) which might relate to, cover or insure Seller or its Affiliates for loss of or Liability arising from the Business or the use, ownership or operation of the assets of the Purchased Subsidiaries, regardless of whether such assignment, right or benefit arises by statute, agreement or operation of Law, including defense and indemnity benefits attributable to or arising from or under such policies. Following the Closing, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) not to, assert any right, claim or interest to or under any insurance policies of Seller or its Affiliates (excluding any insurance policies of and solely with respect to the Purchased Subsidiaries or their respective predecessors) or rights to proceeds thereof in effect on or prior to the Closing Date relating to the Business or the Purchased Subsidiaries. In furtherance thereof, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Purchased Subsidiaries), hereby waives any and all rights to or under any such insurance policies unless such waiver would be adverse to the interests of Seller or any of its Affiliates.

Section 5.13 Production of Witnesses; Third Party Claims; Split Litigation.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to make available to each other, upon

reasonable written request, their (and their Affiliates’) respective officers, directors, employees and agents for fact finding, consultation and interviews and as witnesses to the extent that any such individual may reasonably be required in connection with any Actions in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved relating to the conduct of the Business or the Retained Business prior to or after the Closing. Access to such Persons shall be granted during normal business hours at a location and in a manner reasonably calculated to minimize disruption to such individuals, the Business and the Retained Business, as applicable. Seller and Buyer agree to reimburse each other for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, but excluding officers’ or employees’ salaries or other wages, incurred by any other Party or its Affiliates in connection with providing individuals and witnesses pursuant to this Section 5.13(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions in Article VI shall govern with respect to Tax-related matters to the extent any provision in Article VI is in conflict with this Section 5.13(a). For the avoidance of doubt, no Party shall have an obligation to cooperate, make available personnel or disclose any documents or other information pursuant to this Section 5.13(a), Section 5.14(b) or Article VI, if Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties in any Action and such assistance, testimony, documents or other information is reasonably pertinent thereto; provided that, nothing in this Section 5.13(a) shall limit in any respect any rights a Party may have with respect to discovery or the production of documents or other information in connection with any such Action.

(b) Following the Closing, in the event of any assertion or commencement of any Action by a third party (i) against Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Retained Entities), which imposes (or purports to impose) Liabilities on Seller or such Affiliates relating to the conduct of the Business (whether such conduct is prior to or following the Closing), Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) shall be responsible for such Liabilities and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates (including the Retained Entities) for such Liabilities (a “Buyer Responsible Third Party Claim”); or (ii) against Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Purchased Subsidiaries), which imposes (or purports to impose) Liabilities on Buyer or such Affiliates relating to the conduct of the Retained Business (whether such conduct is prior to or following the Closing), Seller and its Affiliates (including the Retained Entities) shall be responsible for such Liabilities and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) for such Liabilities (a “Seller Responsible Third Party Claim” and, together with the Buyer Responsible Third Party Claims, “Third Party Claims”). Each Party will provide the other with prompt written notice of any Third Party Claim; provided that delay or failure to give such notice will not relieve any Party of any Liability for which it is responsible under this Section 5.13(b), unless and to the extent it is materially prejudiced thereby. The Party allegedly responsible for any Liabilities arising out of a Third Party Claim under this Section 5.13(b) (a “Responsible Party”) shall have the right, by giving written notice to the other Party (a “Non-Responsible Party”) within twenty (20) Business Days of being notified by the Non-Responsible Party of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense of such Non-Responsible Party against any such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Responsible Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Non-Responsible Party (it being understood that Seller is hereby deemed to have assumed the defense of the Retained Matters notwithstanding the lack of having provided such notice (and existing counsel to Seller on the Retained Matters is hereby deemed reasonably satisfactory to Buyer)); provided, that (A) such Responsible Party shall cooperate and consult with the Non-Responsible Party in connection with such Third Party Claim, and the Non-Responsible Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense, (B) the Responsible Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement or compromise, with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Non-Responsible Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), other than a judgment, settlement or compromise that (1) is on exclusively monetary terms with such monetary amounts paid by the Responsible Party concurrently with the effectiveness of the,

judgment, settlement or compromise, (2) does not involve any finding or admission of violation of Law or admission of wrongdoing by the Non-Responsible Party and, (3) provides in customary form, an unconditional release of, or dismissal with prejudice of, all claims against any the Non-Responsible Party and its Affiliates potentially affected by such Third Party Claim and (C) except with respect to the Retained Matters, the Responsible Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if the Third Party Claim (x) seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief, or otherwise brings any criminal or quasi-criminal claims, against the Non-Responsible Party or (y) is a Split Litigation (in which case, Section 5.13(c) shall apply). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement and notwithstanding that each Retained Matter was asserted and commenced prior to the Closing, the parties acknowledge and agree that (x) each Retained Matter shall be deemed to be a Seller Responsible Third Party Claim for all purposes of this Agreement and the provisions of this Section 5.13(b) shall apply to each Retained Matter, mutatis mutandis, (y) Seller and its Affiliates (including the Retained Entities) shall be responsible for any Liabilities relating to any Retained Matter and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) for such Liabilities, and (z) Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) shall not be responsible for, and shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates for, any Liabilities relating to any Retained Matters.

(c) In the event of any Third Party Claim which either (I) names as a party to such Third Party Claim both a Retained Entity (or any post-Closing Affiliate thereof) and a Purchased Subsidiary (or any post-Closing Affiliate thereof) or (II) imposes (or purports to impose) Liabilities on a Party (or its Affiliates) relating to the conduct of both the Business and the Retained Business (each of clause (I) and (II), a “Split Litigation”), then each of Buyer and Seller (or their applicable Affiliates) shall be entitled to defend such Split Litigation to the extent of any claims brought against such Party or its Affiliate named thereto or to the extent of any Liabilities for which such Party is responsible under Section 5.13(b) (i.e., Buyer shall be entitled to defend such Split Litigation to the extent of any Liabilities relating to the conduct of the Business, except any Retained Matter, and Seller shall be entitled to defend such Split Litigation to the extent of any Liabilities relating to the conduct of the Retained Business or any Retained Matter). The Parties shall make reasonable efforts to cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the defense of any such Split Litigation (including by providing each other the opportunity to review and comment on any filings, submissions and documentation, or to participate in any conferences and meetings, relating to such Split Litigation which may impact the potential Liability for which the other Party is responsible under this Section 5.13(c)), to the extent possible without waiving the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege, common interest privilege, or other privilege and protection. The Parties may obtain separate counsel of their own choosing and at their own expense, in connection with any Split Litigation. If counsel for the Split Litigation is jointly agreed among the Parties, the costs and expenses of counsel for the Split Litigation shall be allocated among the Parties in the same manner as the other Liabilities for such Split Litigation. No Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement or compromise, with respect to any Split Litigation without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that (i) each Party shall be entitled to consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement or compromise of a portion of such Split Litigation, to the extent solely related to any Liabilities for which such Party is responsible under Section 5.13(b), so long as such judgment, settlement or compromise does not materially and adversely impact the ability of the other Party to defend, settle or compromise any remaining portion of such Split Litigation or otherwise materially increase such other Party’s exposure or Liability under such remaining portion of such Split Litigation and (ii) in the event that either Party or its Affiliates is a named party to such Split Litigation, but such Split Litigation relates solely to Liabilities for which the other Party is responsible under Section 5.13(b) (i.e., Seller or its Affiliates are named parties to a Split Litigation relating solely to the conduct of the Business or Buyer or its Affiliates are named parties to a Split Litigation relating

solely to the conduct of the Retained Business), then the Parties will cooperate with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Non-Responsible Party removed and released as a named party to such Split Litigation.

Section 5.14 Retention of Books and Records and Post-Closing Access.

(a) Seller and its Affiliates may retain a copy of any or all of the Business Records and any other materials that are otherwise in the possession or under the control of Seller or any of its Affiliates relating to the conduct of the Business or to the Purchased Subsidiaries on or before the Closing Date. Buyer agrees to hold at least one copy of all Business Records of the Purchased Subsidiaries that exist as of the Closing and, unless otherwise consented to in writing by Seller and subject to destruction of correspondence in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in accordance with customary retention policies and applicable Law, not to destroy or dispose of such copy for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date or such longer time as may be required by Law, and if thereafter Buyer proposes to destroy or dispose of such copy, Buyer shall offer first in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to such proposed destruction or disposition to surrender such copy to Seller upon Seller’s request and at Seller’s expense.

(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) to, (i) give Seller and its Representatives reasonable access to the Business Records of Buyer and its Subsidiaries, including the Purchased Subsidiaries, to the extent relating to the Business or operations of the Purchased Subsidiaries on or before the Closing Date, (ii) furnish to Seller and its Representatives such financial and operating data and other information relating to the Business or the operations of the Purchased Subsidiaries on or before the Closing Date and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the employees of Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) to cooperate with Seller and its Representatives, in each case, to the extent reasonably requested by Seller in connection with accounting, Tax, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (or other applicable securities Law) reporting and other similar needs.

Any such access shall be granted (i) in a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Party granting such access, (ii) during normal business hours and (iii) at the sole cost and expense of the Party requesting such access. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Party may withhold such access, as and to the extent necessary to avoid violation or waiver, to any document or information the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to violate any Contract or any Law or would result in the waiver of any legal privilege or work-product privilege; provided that, to the extent practicable and in accordance with such Contract or Law, and in a manner that does not result in the waiver of any such privilege, such Party shall make reasonable and appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which these restrictions apply; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 5.14(b) shall limit in any respect any rights any Party may have with respect to discovery or the production of documents or other information in connection with any litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer and Seller may satisfy their obligations set forth in this Section 5.14(b) by electronic means if physical access is not permitted under applicable Law or not practicable as a result of COVID-19 or any COVID-19 Measures.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.16, (A) Buyer and Seller shall be permitted to disclose the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions (including price terms) of the transactions contemplated hereby except to the extent they reasonably determine such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable Law (including SEC requirements) or the requirements of any listing agreement with any national securities exchange) on their respective websites and (B) Buyer and its Affiliates may disclose the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any term hereof to its (or its or their respective sponsors’) direct or indirect, current and prospective, limited partners or other investors to the extent required by the governing documents with those limited partners or in connection with their ordinary course business operations, including private equity/fund formation, fundraising, marketing, syndication, informational or reporting activities, in each case, so long as such limited partners or other investors are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to such information.

(b) For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Purchased Subsidiaries) to, directly or indirectly:

In the event Seller or any Retained Entity acquires any business or Person, the acquisition of which would violate this Section 5.17(c) (but for this sentence), such Seller or such Retained Entity shall not be in violation of this Section 5.17(c) if as soon as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the closing of such acquisition, Seller or such Retained Entity commences efforts to divest, and within twelve (12) months after the closing of such acquisition, Seller or such Retained Entity consummates such divestiture of, the portion of such acquired Person or business required in order to comply with this Section 5.17(c) (but for this sentence). “Competitive Activities” means the operation of the Business as of the Closing Date.

Section 5.19 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification.

(a) Without limiting any additional rights that any Person may have under any other agreement, from the Closing Date through the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer will cause the Purchased Subsidiaries to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each present (as of immediately prior to the Closing) and former officer, director, employee, manager, managing member, member, partner (general or limited), fiduciary or agent of the Purchased Subsidiaries who at or prior to the Closing provided services primarily in respect of the Business (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to (i) the fact that the Indemnified Person is or was an officer, director, employee, manager, managing member, partner (general or limited), fiduciary or agent of the Purchased Subsidiaries at such time that the Indemnified Person provided services primarily in respect of the Business or (ii) matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing (including this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. In the event of any such action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding, (x) each Indemnified Person will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding from Buyer within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by Buyer from the Indemnified Person of a

request therefor (provided that any such Indemnified Person to whom expenses are to be advanced must provide a reasonable and customary undertaking to repay such advanced amounts if it is finally determined in a non-appealable ruling by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Person is not entitled to indemnification), (y) Buyer will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) not to, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding or threatened action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Person hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding (including all attorney’s fees and expenses) or such Indemnified Person otherwise consents and (z) Buyer will, and will cause its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries) to, reasonably cooperate in the defense of any such matter.

(b) For a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, Buyer will not, and will cause each Purchased Subsidiary not to, amend, repeal or modify any provision in such Person’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or operating agreement (or equivalent organizational documents), or in any agreement set forth on Schedule 5.19(b), relating to the exculpation or indemnification of, or advancement of expenses to, any Indemnified Person as in effect as of the date of this Agreement in any manner adverse to any Indemnified Person, and Buyer will cause all such provisions to be observed by the Purchased Subsidiaries, it being the intent of the parties that any Indemnified Person will continue to be entitled to such exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law.

(c) At or prior to the Closing, TopCo will (at Buyer’s expense) obtain irrevocable “tail” insurance policies covering directors’ and officers’ liability, employment practices liability and fiduciary liability naming the Indemnified Persons as direct beneficiaries (“D&O Tail Policies”) with a claims period of six (6) years from the Closing Date from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as TopCo’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability, employment practices liability and fiduciary liability insurance covering the Purchased Subsidiaries in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the Purchased Subsidiaries’ existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing; provided that, in the event that any claim is brought under any such D&O Tail Policy prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, such D&O Tail Policies will be maintained until final disposition thereof. Buyer and will not, and will cause the Purchased Subsidiaries not to, cancel or change such D&O Tail Policies in any respect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.19(c), Buyer shall not be required to pay any premium for the D&O Tail Policies in excess of two hundred and fifty percent (250%) of the annual premiums currently paid by TopCo for its existing directors’ and officers’ liability, employment practices liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided that, if the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such directors’ and officers’ liability, employment practices liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies exceed such amount, TopCo shall cause obtain insurance with the best coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(d) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Person may at any time be entitled. No right or remedy herein conferred by this Section 5.19 is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy provided pursuant to this Agreement, and every other right and remedy provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given pursuant to this Section 5.19. Buyer hereby acknowledges that the Indemnified Persons have or may, in the future, have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by other Persons (collectively, “Other Indemnitors”). Buyer hereby agrees that, with respect to any advancement

or indemnification obligation owed, at any time, to a Indemnified Person by Buyer, any of its Subsidiaries or any Other Indemnitor, whether pursuant to any certificate of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, indemnification agreement or other document or agreement set forth on Schedule 5.19(b), or pursuant to this Section 5.19 (any of the foregoing, an “Indemnification Obligation” ), and, after the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Purchased Subsidiaries to (i) jointly and severally, and at all times, be the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., the Purchased Subsidiaries’ obligations to an Indemnified Person shall be primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by an Indemnified Person shall be secondary) and (ii) at all times, be required to advance, and shall be liable, jointly and severally, for, the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement or any Indemnification Obligation, without regard to any rights that an Indemnified Person may have against the Other Indemnitors. Furthermore, Buyer irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims (x) against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation, indemnification or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof and (y) that the Indemnified Person must seek expense advancement, reimbursement or indemnification, from any Other Indemnitor before the Purchased Subsidiaries must perform their expense advancement, reimbursement and indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Buyer hereby further agrees that no advancement, indemnification or other payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of an Indemnified Person with respect to any claim for which an Indemnified Person has sought indemnification from the Purchased Subsidiaries shall affect the foregoing, and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement, indemnification or other payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnified Person against the Purchased Subsidiaries, and the Purchased Subsidiaries shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless against such amounts actually paid by the Other Indemnitors to or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to the extent such amounts would have otherwise been payable by the Purchased Subsidiaries under any Indemnification Obligation.

(e) In the event that Buyer or any of the Purchased Subsidiaries or any of the respective successors or assigns of the foregoing (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any Person, then, in each case, the successors and assigns of such Persons or properties or assets, as the case may be, must expressly assume in writing and be bound by the obligations set forth in this Section 5.19 as a condition of succession of assignment.

(f) This Section 5.19 is intended to be for the benefit of each of the Indemnified Persons and, after the Closing, may be enforced by any such Indemnified Person as if such Indemnified Person were a party to this Agreement. The obligations of Buyer and the Purchased Subsidiaries under this Section 5.19 will not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Person to whom this Section 5.19 applies without the consent of such affected Person.

Section 5.20 Further Assurances. Seller and Buyer agree that, from and after the Closing Date, each of them shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other action as may reasonably be requested by such Party to carry out the purposes and intents hereof. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in compliance with this Section 5.20.

Section 5.21 Contact with Employees, Customers and Suppliers

. Until the Closing Date, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, contact or communicate with the employees (other than the executive officers of Seller and its

Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 5.02 and the Transferred Employees pursuant to Section 7.01), customers, potential customers, suppliers or licensors of Seller, any Purchased Subsidiary or any Retained Entity, or any other Persons having a business relationship with Seller, any Purchased Subsidiary or any Retained Entity, in each case, concerning the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prohibit Buyer and its Representatives from contacting Buyer’s customers, suppliers, distributors or other material business relations that are also customers, suppliers, distributors or business relations of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in all material respects for matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that Buyer and its Representatives do not disclose information concerning the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.22 Financing.

(a) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to arrange and obtain the Financing, including to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letters until the funding of the applicable Financing thereunder, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to Buyer in the Commitment Letters that are within Buyer’s reasonable control, (iii) negotiate, enter into, execute and deliver definitive agreements with respect thereto on a timely basis on terms and conditions no less favorable to Buyer, as applicable, than those contemplated by the applicable Commitment Letters (including, if applicable, any “market flex” provisions), (iv) enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letters in accordance with the terms thereof and (v) upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of such conditions), consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall (A) give Seller prompt notice of any breach or default by any party to any Commitment Letter or definitive document related to the Financing of which Buyer becomes aware and (B) give Seller prompt notice of the receipt of any notice or other communication from any Person with respect to any (1) actual or potential breach, default or termination of the Commitment Letters or the definitive documents related to the Financing by any party thereto or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Financing (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding ordinary course negotiations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall require the Buyer to disclose any information if such disclosure would, in its reasonable discretion (i) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or (ii) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which the Buyer or its Affiliates is a party).

(b) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Purchased Subsidiaries and the Business to, use reasonable best efforts to provide to Buyer, at Buyer’s sole expense, reasonable cooperation requested by Buyer in connection with the Financing, including, (i) at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, preparation for and participation in a reasonable number of meetings, conference calls, presentations, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies and prospective Financing Sources (including customary one-on-one meetings with the parties acting as lead arrangers or agents for, and prospective lenders or holders of, any Debt Financing) or other reasonable and customary debt financing activities, in each case, by officers of customary seniority and expertise of the Business; (ii) cooperating with the marketing efforts of Buyer and the Financing Sources relating to the Debt Financing, including providing reasonable assistance with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, information memoranda and packages, a confidential information memorandum and similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing, including the marketing and syndication thereof (if applicable); (iii) as promptly as

reasonably practicable, furnishing Buyer with the Required Financial Information; (iv) assisting with the preparation of, and executing and delivering, any customary credit agreements, purchase agreements, amendments, collateral documents, other definitive financing agreements, customary officer’s certificates and other certificates or documents with respect to the Debt Financing (including schedules thereto) as may be reasonably requested by Buyer; provided that such agreements or other documents do not become effective until the Closing; (v) furnishing Buyer promptly, and in any event at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (to the extent requested at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), with all documentation and other information that the Financing Sources reasonably determine is required by any Governmental Body under applicable “know your customer”, beneficial ownership and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act; (vi) facilitating the pledge of and obtaining perfection in collateral, solely to the extent, in each case, the effectiveness of which are conditions to the funding of the Debt Financing; and (vii) executing and delivering customary authorization letters authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders with respect to the Debt Financing; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would interfere unreasonably, in the discretion of Seller, with the business or the other operations of the Business. At Seller’s request, Buyer shall provide Seller’s outside accountants with all offering memoranda and similar information packages prepared in connection with the Debt Financing that contain the materials included in clause (a) of the Required Financial Information. Seller consents to the use of the Business’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing so long as such logos are used solely in a manner that is customary for such purpose and not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Business or the reputation or goodwill of the Business.

(c) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and Representatives from and against, and shall pay and reimburse Seller and its Affiliates and Representatives for, any and all losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, it in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, except to the extent such losses result from the (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified Persons, (ii) financial information or data provided by or on behalf of the Business or (iii) Seller’s willful breach of its obligations under this Section 5.22.

(d) If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any flex provisions in the Debt Fee Letter) contemplated in the applicable Commitment Letter and such amount is required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (taking into account any then available debt and equity financing), Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing and Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event, obtain such Financing or such portion of the Financing from the same or alternative sources and in an amount at least equal to the applicable Financing or such unavailable and required portion thereof, as the case may be (taking into account any then available debt and equity financing) (the “Alternate Debt Financing”). Buyer will promptly provide a copy of any commitment letter with respect to any Alternate Debt Financing (and any fee letter in connection therewith) to Seller (it being understood and agreed that any such fee letter may be redacted in the same manner as the Debt Fee Letter). Any reference in this Agreement to (i) the “Commitment Letters”, the “Debt Commitment Letter” or the “Debt Fee Letter” will be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letter to the extent then in effect and any debt commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Debt Financing, (ii) the “Commitment Letters”, the “Debt Commitment Letter” and the “Debt Fee Letter” shall refer to such documents as otherwise amended, supplemented, modified or replaced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) the “Financing” means the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters as amended, supplemented, modified or replaced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 5.22 shall require, and in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of Buyer be deemed or construed to require, Buyer to

(i) seek the Equity Financing from any source other than those counterparty to, or in any amount in excess of that contemplated by, the Equity Commitment Letter or (ii) pay any fees or any interest rates applicable to the Debt Financing in excess in the aggregate of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (including the “market flex” provisions), or agree to any “market flex” term less favorable to Buyer than such corresponding “market flex” term contained in or contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof (in either case, whether to secure waiver of any conditions contained therein or otherwise).

(e) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (and other than (x) as expressly set forth in this Section 5.22 with respect to any Alternate Debt Financing, (y) amendments, modifications or supplements to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities as parties to the Debt Commitment Letter and (z) amendments contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof), Buyer will not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Commitment Letters if such amendment, modification or waiver would or would reasonably be expected to (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing (in each case, except as expressly permitted therein) to an amount less than the amount necessary to fund the Financing Purposes; (ii) impose new or additional conditions or other terms or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) delay or prevent the Closing Date; or (B) make the timely funding of the Financing, or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing, less likely to occur in any respect; or (iii) adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements with respect thereto (including any right to seek or obtain specific performance of the Commitment Letters).

(f) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the Financing, or any alternative financing (including the Alternate Debt Financing), is not a condition to the Closing and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any alternative financing, subject to fulfillment or waiver of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VIII and satisfaction of the Marketing Period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Seller’s breach of or non-compliance with this Section 5.22 be taken into account or considered for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.02(b) or Buyer’s right of termination under Section 9.01(c), unless it was a willful material breach or non-compliance that proximately resulted in the Debt Financing not being available at Closing.

Section 5.23 Use of Names. Following the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Retained Entities to, use reasonable best efforts to cease all use of the name “TransUnion Healthcare” or any confusingly similar name, including on stationery, business cards or signage, and in event shall not use the name “TransUnion Healthcare” or any confusingly similar name at any time following the four (4) month anniversary of the Closing Date.

Section 5.24 Exclusivity. Seller agrees that after the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, it shall not, and shall not authorize, permit or instruct any of Affiliates to, and shall direct its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, agents, advisors and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, or purposefully facilitate or purposefully encourage the submission, making or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) initiate, engage, participate in or purposefully encourage any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to, or take any other action knowingly to facilitate or encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) enter

into or become bound by any letter of intent or other agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, and shall direct its and its Affiliates’ investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, agents, advisors and representatives to, promptly cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Promptly following the date hereof, Seller shall, or shall cause a representative of Seller to, instruct any such Person to return or destroy all nonpublic information provided to such Person in connection with such Person’s consideration of any Acquisition Proposal in accordance with the confidentiality agreements entered into between Seller or any of its Affiliates and any such Person. Seller shall promptly (but in any event within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt thereof) notify Buyer of any indication of interest, inquiry, proposal, offer or request for information relating to an Acquisition Proposal that is received by Seller or any of its Affiliates on and after the date hereof and prior to the Closing.

Section 5.25 Ahuja Share Transfer. After the date hereof and prior to the Closing (or, if necessary, for a period of no longer than three (3) months following the Closing), Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate in good faith with Buyer to procure the transfer of ownership of the Ahuja Share from Mr. Pankaj Ahuja to Buyer, a Subsidiary of Buyer (including any Purchased Subsidiary) or a designee of Buyer or one of its Subsidiaries (including any Purchased Subsidiary); provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to procure any such transfer shall not, in and of itself, constitute a breach of this Section 5.25 or result in a failed condition to Closing, so long as Seller has cooperated in good faith with Buyer with respect thereto as aforesaid.

Section 5.26 Commercial Agreements. After the date hereof and prior to the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other and negotiate in good faith to finalize the terms of two (2) master services agreements pursuant to which TRADS and Seller will provide certain services to the Business (collectively, the “Commercial Agreements”). The parties shall negotiate and finalize such Commercial Agreements based initially on the forms of the Commercial Agreements that the parties have previously commenced negotiating, but shall update those forms to include the terms set forth on Schedule 5.26, and to include such other revisions and terms as are mutually agreed.

Tax Matters

Section 6.01 Tax Returns; Allocation of Taxes.

(a) Tax Returns.

(i) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes, (x) the taxable year of the Purchased Subsidiaries will end on the Closing Date and (y) the Purchased Subsidiaries that are U.S. corporations will become members of the consolidated group of which Buyer is the common parent, or an Affiliate of Buyer is the common parent and Buyer is a member, beginning on the day after the Closing Date. To the extent required or permitted by Law, the Parties shall elect to close any taxable year of any Purchased Subsidiaries for state, local and foreign Tax purposes as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(ii) The Parties agree that any deduction from taxable income of the Purchased Subsidiaries arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be allocable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for purposes of this Agreement and for all Income Tax purposes to the extent allowed pursuant to applicable Law and each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, prepare all Income Tax returns

consistent therewith. Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and the Purchased Subsidiaries not to, (x) make an election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(D) to ratably allocate items (or any make any similar election or ratably allocate items under any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign Law) or (B) apply the “next day” rule of Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) with respect to any deduction from taxable income of the Purchased Subsidiaries arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, any Taxes attributable to each Purchased Subsidiary for the taxable period of such Purchased Subsidiary ending on the Closing Date shown as due and payable on any Combined Tax Return that includes such taxable period. Buyer shall be responsible for all other Taxes attributable to the Purchased Subsidiaries.

(iv) At its own expense, Buyer shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, when due (taking into account any extensions of a required filing date), (x) all Tax Returns of the Purchased Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date that are not described in Section 6.01(a)(iii) and (y) all Tax Returns of the Purchased Subsidiaries for any Straddle Tax Period or any Post-Closing Tax Period. Each such Tax Return that is Buyer’s responsibility for a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or for a Straddle Tax Period (collectively, the “Buyer-Filed Tax Returns”), shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the most recent past practices of the applicable Purchased Subsidiary with respect to such Tax Returns and without a change of any election or any accounting method, unless otherwise required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or by applicable Law. Until the Adjustment Amount has been finalized pursuant to Section 2.04, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a draft of each material Buyer-Filed Tax Return, to the extent that any Taxes reported on such Buyer-Filed Tax Return could reasonably be expected to reduce the amount of the Purchase Price, at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date (including any applicable extension) therefor and, to the extent reasonably requested by Seller, use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly deliver to Seller any reasonable supporting documentation with respect to such Buyer-Filed Tax Return. Buyer shall consider in good faith Seller’s reasonable comments to the extent such comments are delivered to Buyer by Seller in writing no later than ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt of such draft; provided, that any disputes with respect to such comments shall be submitted to the Auditor for final resolution.

In addition, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, at their shared expense, all Tax Returns that are required to be filed with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

(c) In the case of any Straddle Tax Period, (i) real, personal and intangible property Taxes and any other similar Taxes levied on a periodic basis of any Person for a Pre-

Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Tax Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Tax Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Tax Period and (ii) any other Taxes of any Person for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such Tax period ended on the Closing Date, except that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days in the Straddle Tax Period elapsed through the Closing Date compared to the total number of days in the entire Straddle Tax Period and any credits with respect to a Straddle Tax Period shall be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date.

Section 6.02 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, and Buyer shall cause each of its Subsidiaries, including the Purchased Subsidiaries, to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the applicable other Party, in connection with the preparation, execution and filing of Tax Returns and any audit, examination, inquiry, assessment, claim for refund, lawsuit, action, claim, arbitration, mediation or other proceeding at law or in equity by or before a Taxing Authority with respect to Taxes relating to the Purchased Subsidiaries (each a “Tax Claim”). Such cooperation shall include access to records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Claim, making personnel available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, executing Tax Returns and executing powers of attorney. Buyer shall cause its Affiliates, including the Purchased Subsidiaries, (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Business and the Purchased Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations of the respective taxable periods (including any extensions thereof) and (ii) to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority. If Seller so requests, Buyer shall, and Buyer shall cause its Subsidiaries, including the Purchased Subsidiaries or the Business, to, provide Seller with copies of such books and records. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall not be required to (x) transfer to Buyer any Tax Returns or other Tax work papers of or including Seller or any of the Retained Entities or (y) except to the extent relating primarily to the Purchased Subsidiaries, provide to Buyer any right to access or review any Tax Return, Tax work papers or other similar documents or records of any Retained Entity or any Affiliate of any Retained Entity, including for the avoidance of doubt, any Combined Tax Return; provided that Seller shall be entitled to provide Buyer such access or review on a pro forma or redacted basis to the extent such information does not relate exclusively to the Purchased Subsidiaries or the Business.

Section 6.03 Buyer Covenants. Buyer covenants that it shall not, solely to the extent that such action could give rise to any Tax Liability or reduce any asset or benefit of Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to Taxes, cause or permit any Purchased Subsidiary or any Affiliate of Buyer to (a) take any action on the Closing Date other than in the ordinary course of business; (b) make, change or revoke any Tax election or deemed Tax election (other than the Section 338(h)(10) Election) or change any accounting period for Tax purposes (including for non-U.S. tax reporting purposes) that would be effective for any Pre-Closing Tax Period; (c) file or amend or otherwise modify any Tax Return of any Purchased Subsidiary relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period; (d) extend or waive the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any Taxes or Tax Return of any Purchased Subsidiary for a Pre-Closing Tax Period; (e) file any ruling or request with any Taxing Authority that relates to Taxes or Tax Returns of any Purchased Subsidiary for a Pre-Closing Tax Period; or (f) enter into any voluntary disclosure with any taxing authority regarding any Tax or Tax Returns of any Purchased Subsidiary for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case, without the consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 6.04 Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing, Tax allocation or Tax indemnity agreements, except for this Agreement, between any Purchased Subsidiary, on the one hand, and Seller, any of the Retained Entities or any of their respective Affiliates (other than any Purchased Subsidiary), on the other hand, shall be terminated as of the Closing Date to the extent they relate to the Purchased Subsidiaries.

Section 6.05 Tax Claims.

(a) Each of Buyer and Seller shall notify the other within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of any Tax Claim with respect to any Taxes or Tax Return of any Purchased Subsidiary.

(b) Seller Parent shall control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with any Tax Claim for Combined Taxes or any Combined Tax Return, and Buyer shall have no right to participate in any such Tax Claim; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of material developments relating to any such Tax Claim to the extent such development specifically relates to any Purchased Subsidiary and (ii) Seller shall not settle or compromise any such Tax Claim without Buyer’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement or compromise would reasonably be expected to result in any liability with respect to Taxes for Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

(c) With respect to any Tax Claim not described in Section 6.05(b) relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and for which Seller or any of its Affiliates could reasonably be expected to have any liability, Buyer shall have the right to control, at its own expense, all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel).

The Parties shall cooperate with each other to take all actions reasonably necessary and appropriate (including filing such additional forms, returns, elections, schedules and other documents as may be required) to effect and preserve timely elections in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 (or any comparable provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) or any successor provisions.

Section 6.07 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) Within ninety (90) days following the final determination of the Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.04, Seller shall deliver a statement allocating the “aggregate deemed sales price” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.338-4) with respect to each applicable Purchased Subsidiary in accordance with the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 338(h)(10) (the “Allocation Statement” ). If, within 20 days after the delivery of the Allocation Statement, Buyer notifies Seller in writing that Buyer objects to any

allocation set forth thereon, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objection. If the Parties are unable to resolve their disagreement within the 20 days following any such notification by Buyer, then the Parties shall submit all such disputed items for resolution to an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing and mutually selected by Buyer and Seller.

(b) Seller Parent, Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall (i) be bound by the Final Allocation Statement for purposes of determining any Taxes and (ii) prepare and file their Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Final Allocation Statement.

ARTICLE VII
Employee Matters

Section 7.01 Employee Communications and Consultations. From and after the date hereof until the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith regarding any written communications to be distributed to any Business Employees relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or post-Closing terms of employment, and, until the Closing Date (or, with respect to communications relating to offers of employment by Buyer to the Business Employees pursuant to Section 7.02 below, until the date on which Buyer delivers such offers), Buyer shall consult with Seller and obtain Seller’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and to be provided within three (3) Business Days following the request) before distributing any such communications to any Business Employees. In addition, Buyer and Seller will reasonably cooperate and provide such information as either Party may reasonably request from time to time in connection with any information and consultation processes relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.02 Offers of Employment. To the extent that the employment of any Business Employee does not transfer to Buyer or one of its Affiliates upon the transfer of the Purchased Subsidiaries, not less than seven (7) calendar days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer employment, effective at 12:01 a.m., local time, on the Closing Date (the “Transfer Time”), to each Business Employee in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Business Employee who, as of the Closing Date, is on short-term or long-term disability or who is otherwise designated as inactive (an “Inactive Employee”), Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer employment upon such Inactive Employee’s return to active employment at Seller, provided that such employee returns to active employment at Seller before the date that is one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date. Offers pursuant to this Section 7.02 shall (a) be for a substantially comparable position at the same or a nearby geographic work location, in each case,

to those as of the Closing Date, (b) be sufficient to avoid statutory (if any), common Law (if any), or contractual severance obligations that have been disclosed in Schedule 7.02 and (c) otherwise comply in all respects with this Article VII and applicable Law. In any jurisdiction where the employment of a Business Employee can transfer to Buyer or one of its Affiliates upon the transfer of the Purchased Subsidiaries, Buyer and Seller agree to take, or cause their respective Affiliates to take, all actions required under applicable Law and all other actions as are reasonably necessary or appropriate such that the employment of such Business Employee will transfer to Buyer or one of its Affiliates automatically as of the Transfer Time. Nothing herein shall be construed as a representation or guarantee by Seller that any particular employee shall accept Buyer’s offer of employment and become a Transferred Employee or shall continue in an employment relationship with Buyer or one or more of its Affiliates following Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.02 or this Agreement, in Buyer’s sole discretion, such offers of employment may be made contingent on the Business Employee satisfying Buyer’s generally applicable background checks, drug screens, work authorization verification, and similar requirements imposed upon similarly situated Buyer employees and other requirements to execute and deliver confidentiality and restrictive covenant agreements in the same form used by Buyer for its similarly situated employees.

Section 7.03 Effect of Transfer. Seller and Buyer intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement should not constitute a separation, termination or severance of employment of any Business Employee prior to or upon the occurrence of the Transfer Time, and that such employee will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Transfer Time. To the extent Buyer fails to offer employment to the Business Employees in accordance with Section 7.02 above and Section 7.04(a) below, and except as set forth in Section 7.19 below, Buyer shall bear all the Liabilities, obligations and costs relating to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against, any claims made by any such Business Employee for any statutory or common law severance, gratuity or other separation benefits, any contractual or other severance or separation benefits and any other legally mandated payment obligations (including any compensation payable during a mandatory termination notice period and any payments pursuant to a judgment of a court having jurisdiction over the Parties) and for any other claim, cost, liability or obligation (whether related to compensation, benefits or otherwise), in each case, arising out of or in connection with (i) the termination of employment of any such Business Employee by Seller or any of the Retained Entities on or within fourteen (14) calendar days after the Closing Date; or (ii) the failure of Buyer or its Affiliates to continue the employment of any Business Employee who is entitled to transfer to Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant to the transfer of the Purchased Subsidiaries, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement or applicable Law, including to the extent such severance or other Liabilities arise out of or relate to the agreements (or sections of the agreements) set forth on Schedule 7.03. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that Seller is obligated to pay severance or other Liabilities in accordance with the agreements (or sections of the agreements) set forth on Schedule 7.03, Buyer agrees to reimburse Seller for one hundred percent (100%) of the severance or other Liabilities actually paid, provided that Seller confirms to Buyer in writing that (i) all requirements to receive severance or other Liabilities pursuant to the applicable agreement set forth on Schedule 7.03 have been satisfied (and including that the Buyer and its Affiliates must be included as released parties in any required release of claims) and (ii) Seller has paid such amounts. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in the event that a Business Employee who is a party to an agreement set forth on Schedule 7.03 incurs a termination of employment with Buyer on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date. Effective as of 11:59 p.m. local time on the Closing Date, and except as provided for in the Transition Services Agreement, each Transferred Employee shall cease all active participation in and accrual of benefits under the Employee Plans that are not Assumed Plans.

Section 7.04 Continuation of Benefits.

(a) With respect to each Transferred Employee, following the Closing until the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date (such period, the “Benefits Continuation Period”), Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to (and shall cause any other Person providing compensation and benefits on their behalf to), except as set forth in Section 7.06: (i) provide to such Transferred Employee no less favorable base salary and wage rates, as applicable, than the base salary and wage rates provided by Seller and the Retained Entities immediately prior to the Closing; (ii) provide to such Transferred Employee an annual cash bonus opportunity that is no less favorable than the annual cash bonus opportunity provided by Seller and the Retained Entities to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing; and (iii) maintain employee benefits under plans, programs and arrangements that will provide benefits to such Transferred Employee that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contemplated by this Agreement shall be construed as (x) limiting the obligations of Buyer or any of its Affiliates under applicable Law, or as necessary to preclude claims from Business Employees for severance, notice or termination pay, to maintain the terms, conditions and employee benefits of any Business Employees for any period of time, or (y) requiring either Buyer or any of its Affiliates to continue the employment of any Transferred Employee for any period after the Closing Date.

(b) Following the Closing, Buyer shall establish a retention bonus pool in an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000 (the “Retention Pool”) for purposes of issuing retention bonus awards to eligible participants; provided, that, such retention bonus awards will vest over the twelve-month period following the Closing Date, subject to such participant remaining an employee or service provider of Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Subsidiaries). The allocation, amounts, recipients and terms and conditions of awards under the Retention Pool will be determined by mutual agreement between Buyer and Seller. The Retention Pool shall be funded equally by Buyer and Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that the full amount of the Retention Pool has not been allocated within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date (such unallocated amount, the “Unallocated Retention Pool”), Buyer shall, not later than thirty (30) days thereafter, pay Seller an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Unallocated Retention Pool, and (ii) in the event that the full amount of the awarded Retention Pool has not been paid or become payable upon the completion of the vesting period of such retention bonus awards (such unpaid and non-payable amount, the “Unpaid Retention Pool”), Buyer shall, not later than thirty (30) days following the completion of the vesting period of such retention bonus awards, pay Seller an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Unpaid Retention Pool.

Section 7.05 Closing Year Annual Bonus. In the event that the Closing occurs after the first quarter of a calendar year, Seller and the Retained Entities shall pay each Transferred Employee a pro rata amount, if any, earned under Seller’s and/or the Retained Entities’ annual cash bonus plan or program through the Closing Date for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, on or within thirty (30) days following the Closing (the “Seller Bonus Payment” ). Buyer shall assume, or cause its Affiliates to assume, all obligations with respect to bonus amounts payable to Transferred Employees under any Assumed Plan with respect to the performance period in which the Closing occurs, other than the Seller Bonus Payments.

Section 7.06 Severance Benefits. With the exception of any Transferred Employee that is eligible for severance benefits or other termination benefits pursuant to the agreements set forth on Schedule 7.03, with respect to each other Transferred Employee who is involuntarily terminated by Buyer or any of its Affiliates without cause during the Benefits Continuation Period, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide severance or termination benefits to each such Transferred Employee that are no less favorable than those severance or termination benefits that such Transferred Employee is eligible for as of immediately prior to the Closing Date under an Employee Plan identified in Schedule 7.06 or any Assumed Subsidiary Plan identified in Schedule 7.06, provided that such Transferred Employee first executes and does not

revoke a general release of claims in favor of Seller, Buyer, and each of their respective Affiliates.

Section 7.07 Assumption of Agreements. Buyer agrees to honor and assume, or to cause its Subsidiaries to honor and assume, in accordance with their current terms, each agreement and arrangement between Seller and any of the Seller Affiliates, on the one hand, and a Business Employee, on the other hand, in each case that is listed on Schedule 7.07(a), each employment agreement with a Business Employee who primarily works and resides in India and each Purchased Subsidiary Plan. In connection with the assumption of the agreements listed on Schedule 7.07(a), Buyer agrees that in the event that a Business Employee that is a party to such agreement is involuntarily terminated by Buyer or any of its Affiliates without cause prior to the date of the final payment thereunder to such Business Employee, and such Business Employee executes and allows to become effective a general release of claims, Buyer shall, within thirty (30) days following the date of such termination, pay such final payment to such Business Employee. For the avoidance of doubt except as set forth in Section 7.03, Buyer shall have no liability with respect to any agreement and arrangement listed on Schedule 7.07(b).

Section 7.08 Service Credit. With respect to each Transferred Employee, effective from and after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (a) recognize, for all purposes (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan and other than for all purposes in connection with equity compensation) under all plans, programs and arrangements established or maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates for the benefit of such Transferred Employees, service with Seller and the Retained Entities prior to the Closing to the extent such service was recognized under the corresponding Employee Plan or Purchased Subsidiary Plan covering such Transferred Employee, including for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit levels and accruals, in each case, except where it would result in a duplication of benefits, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period under all employee health and other welfare benefit plans established or maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates for the benefit of the Transferred Employees, except to the extent such pre-existing condition, exclusion, requirement or waiting period would have applied to such individual under the corresponding Employee Plan or Purchased Subsidiary Plan covering such Transferred Employee and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide full credit for any co-payments, deductibles or similar payments made or incurred by such Transferred Employee under a corresponding Employee Plan or Purchased Subsidiary Plan covering such Transferred Employee prior to the Closing for the plan year in which the Closing occurs.

Section 7.09 Work Authorization. If any Business Employee requires a work permit, employment pass, visa or other legal or regulatory approval for his or her employment with Buyer or its Subsidiaries, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such permit, pass, visa or other approval to be obtained and in effect prior to the Transfer Time. Buyer agrees to serve as the successor-in-interest with respect to Seller’s U.S. immigration related filings submitted on behalf of applicable Business Employees, with no material changes in the positions, geographic work locations, and base salaries reflected in the immigrant petitions, nonimmigrant filings, and labor certification applications.

Section 7.10 Vacation. Seller shall pay to each Business Employee in the United States (“US Business Employee”) an amount sufficient to compensate such US Business Employee for the accrued and unused paid time off which has accrued to such US Business Employee through the Closing Date, with such payments to be made by Seller on or following the Closing in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practices for the payment of accrued, unused paid time off upon termination of employment or as required by applicable Law.

Section 7.11 Retirement Plans. Buyer shall cause a defined contribution plan maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (and a related trust exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code) (as applicable, the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) to allow each Transferred Employee to make a “direct rollover” to the Buyer 401(k) Plan of the account balances of such Transferred Employee (including promissory notes evidencing any outstanding loans) under the Employee Plan that is a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (a “Seller 401(k) Plan”) in which such Transferred Employee participated prior to the Closing if such direct rollover is elected in accordance with applicable Law by such Transferred Employee. The rollovers described herein shall comply with applicable Law, and each party shall make all filings and take any actions required of such party under applicable Law in connection therewith.

Section 7.12 Health and Welfare Benefits. Other than with respect to any Assumed Plan and except as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, Seller shall be, or shall cause the Retained Entities to be, responsible for all (a) medical, vision, dental and prescription drug claims incurred by any Transferred Employee or his or her dependents, (b) claims for short-term and long-term disability income benefits incurred by any Transferred Employee and (c) claims for group life, travel and accident and accidental death and dismemberment insurance benefits incurred by any Transferred Employee, in each case, on or prior to the Transfer Time.

Without limiting any obligations under any Assumed Plan, Buyer and its Affiliates shall be responsible for all claims for workers compensation benefits that are incurred on or after the Transfer Time by any Transferred Employee. A claim for workers compensation benefits shall be deemed to be incurred when the event giving rise to the claim (the “Workers Compensation Event”) occurs. If the Workers Compensation Event occurs over a

period both preceding and following the Transfer Time, the claim shall be the joint responsibility and liability of Seller and Buyer and shall be equitably apportioned between Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, based upon the relative periods of time that the Workers Compensation Event transpired preceding and following the Transfer Time.

Termination

Section 9.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(c) by written notice from Buyer to Seller, if there is a material breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article III hereof or any covenant or agreement to be complied with or performed by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case, that would cause the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.02(b), as applicable, to be satisfied at the Closing; provided that, in each case under this clause (c), Buyer may not terminate this Agreement unless (i) Buyer has given written notice of such material breach to Seller and Seller has not cured such material breach by the earlier of thirty (30) days

after receipt of such notice and one (1) Business Day prior to the Outside Date or (ii) such breach is not capable of being cured; provided, further, that Buyer is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

(d) by written notice from Seller to Buyer, if there is a material breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article IV hereof or any covenant or agreement to be complied with or performed by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case, that would cause the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.03(a) or Section 8.03(b), as applicable, to be satisfied at the Closing; provided that, in each case under this clause (d), Seller may not terminate this Agreement unless (i) Seller has given written notice of such material breach to Buyer and Buyer has not cured such material breach by the earlier of thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice and one (1) Business Day prior to the Outside Date or (ii) such breach is not capable of being cured; provided, further, that Seller is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

(f) by Seller, if (i) all of the conditions to the obligations of Buyer to consummate the Closing set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by the delivery of documents or taking of any other action at the Closing, but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived and the date on which the Closing should have taken place pursuant to Section 2.03 (taking into account, for the avoidance of doubt, the requirement set forth in Section 2.03 that the Marketing Period shall have ended) has occurred, (ii) Seller has delivered to Buyer a written notice confirming that, if Buyer performed its obligations hereunder to consummate the Closing and the Financing was funded, Seller is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing and (iii) Buyer has failed to consummate the Closing pursuant to Section 2.03 within one (1) Business Days after the delivery of the written notice specified in clause (ii) above; provided, that Seller remains ready to consummate the Closing as of immediately prior to the expiration of such one (1) Business Day period.

Subject to Section 9.03 (with respect to payment of the Reverse Termination Fee and any associated Termination Fee Collection Costs), in determining losses or damages payable to Seller for Buyer’s willful and material breach, the Parties acknowledge and agree that such losses and damages shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs, and shall include the benefit of the bargain lost by Seller (taking into consideration relevant matters, including other combination opportunities and the time value of money), which shall be deemed to be damages payable to Seller. The provisions of Section

5.16, Section 5.22(c), this Section 9.02, Section 9.03, Article X (other than Section 10.14), the Limited Guaranty and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.03 Termination Fees.

(a) In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated (i) by Seller pursuant to Section 9.01(d) (arising from a material breach of Buyer’s covenants set forth in Section 5.22 or a material breach of Buyer’s representations or warranties set forth in Section 4.05) or Section 9.01(f) or (ii) by Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 9.01(e), if at the time of, or prior to, such termination pursuant to Section 9.01(e), Seller would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d) (arising from a material breach of Buyer’s covenants set forth in Section 5.22 or a material breach of Buyer’s representations or warranties set forth in Section 4.05) or Section 9.01(f)), then Buyer shall promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the date of such termination, pay or cause to be paid to Seller or its designee, a nonrefundable fee in an amount equal to $112,775,000 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Solely for the purposes of establishing the basis for the amount thereof, the Parties hereby agree that the payment of the Reverse Termination Fee is a liquidated damage and not a penalty and the payment of the Reverse Termination Fee in the circumstances specified herein is supported by due and sufficient consideration. Under no circumstances will Buyer be required to pay the Reverse Termination Fee, or any portion thereof, more than once, it being understood that in no event will the Reverse Termination Fee be payable on more than one (1) occasion.

(b) If Buyer fails to timely pay the Reverse Termination Fee when due pursuant to this Section 9.03 and, in order to obtain such payment, Seller commences an Action that results in a judgment against Buyer or the Guarantors for the Reverse Termination Fee, Buyer shall pay to Seller or its designee by wire transfer of immediately available funds Seller’s and its Affiliates’ reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs of collection and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred in connection with such Action (the “Termination Fee Collection Costs”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event this Agreement is terminated in circumstances where the Reverse Termination Fee is payable and is paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.03(a), then the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and its Affiliates and each of its and its Affiliates’ respective current, former or future shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, advisors and other Representatives, and their respective assignees (collectively, the “Seller Related Parties”), whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, against any of Buyer, the Guarantors, any Equity Financing Source, any Financing Source, any of their respective Affiliates, any of their and their Affiliates’ respective direct or indirect current, former or future shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, advisors and other Representatives, and their respective assignees (collectively, the “Buyer Related Parties”)) for any breach, loss or damage in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby (and the termination of this Agreement or any matter forming the basis for such termination (including for any assertion of any willful and material breach or otherwise) shall be to receive payment of the Reverse Termination Fee plus the Termination Fee Collection Costs, if any, and Buyer will not (nor will any other Buyer Related Party) have any liability or obligation to Seller or any other Seller Related Party relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, in each case, other than any obligations of the Guarantors under the Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) this Section 7.3 shall not relieve Buyer or its

Affiliates from any liability for any breaches of the Confidentiality Agreement and (ii) it is agreed and understood that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall be entitled, under all circumstances, to pursue claims for both specific performance or other injunctive or equitable relief under Section 10.14 as well as any Reverse Termination Fee hereunder, but in no event shall Seller be entitled to both specific performance to consummate the Closing and payment of the Reverse Termination Fee. Upon receipt of the Reverse Termination Fee plus the Termination Fee Collection Costs, if any, by Seller, Seller agrees to cause any Action pending in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby by any of Seller or its Affiliates, and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such Action by any other Seller Related Party against Buyer or any Buyer Related Party, to be dismissed with prejudice promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days, after receipt of the Reverse Termination Fee plus the Termination Fee Collection Costs, if any.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller (on behalf of itself and the Seller Related Parties) hereby waives any rights or claims against any Financing Source or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective direct or indirect current, former or future shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, advisors or other Representatives, or their respective assignees (collectively, including the Financing Sources, the “Financing Source Related Parties”) in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the Debt Commitment Letter, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and Seller (on behalf of itself and the Seller Related Parties) agrees not to commence (and if commenced, agrees to dismiss or otherwise terminate) any Action against any Financing Source Related Party in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the Debt Commitment Letter, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Closing Date, under any definitive agreements executed in connection with the Debt Financing (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, under this Agreement) to the extent Seller and/or its Affiliates are party thereto. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waiver, it is agreed that no Financing Source Related Party shall have any liability for any claims, losses, settlements, damages, costs, expenses, fines or penalties to Seller or the Seller Related Parties in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Closing Date, under any definitive agreements executed in connection with the Debt Financing (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, under this Agreement) to the extent Seller and/or its Affiliates are party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.03 shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of Buyer (or its permitted assignee) under the Debt Commitment Letter.

Section 10.10 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by any of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives relating to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement is hereby amended to automatically terminate in its entirety, effective as of the Closing, except for Section 12 (Standstill) thereto, which shall terminate on the date that is eighteen (18) months following the date of the Confidentiality Agreement. No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings or agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents exist between the Parties except, in each case, as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 10.11 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed in the same manner and by the same Parties (but not necessarily by the same individuals) as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any modification, waiver or termination of this Section 10.11 or Sections 5.22, 9.03(c), 9.03(d), 10.01(c), 10.05, 10.07, 10.09 or the definition of “Financing Sources” (or any other provision of this Agreement to the extent such modification, waiver or termination would modify the substance of such Sections or such definition) that is adverse to any Financing Sources will not be effective without the prior written consent of such Financing Sources.

Section 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.

Section 10.13 Disclosure Schedules. Inclusion of a matter in any section of the Disclosure Schedules in relation to a representation, warranty, or covenant which addresses matters having a material adverse effect, or which is qualified by materiality, shall not be deemed an indication that such matter does or does not, or may or may not, have a material adverse

effect, or that such matter is or is not material. Likewise, the inclusion of a matter in any section of the Disclosure Schedules in relation to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an indication that such matter necessarily would or would not, or may or may not, breach such representation or warranty absent its inclusion on such section of the Disclosure Schedules. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that such amounts (or any higher or lower amounts), or the items so included in such Disclosure Schedule (or any other items), in each case, are or are not material or within or outside the ordinary course of business. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the inclusion of any item, information or other matter in the Disclosure Schedules that is not required by this Agreement to be so included is solely for the convenience of Buyer, (b) the disclosure by Seller of any item, information or other matter in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgement by Seller that such item, information or other matter is required to be disclosed by the terms of this Agreement or that such item, information or other matter is material, (c) if any section of the Disclosure Schedules lists an item or information in such a way as to make its relevance to the disclosure required by or provided in another section of the Disclosure Schedules or the statements contained in any Section of Article III reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure, such item or information shall be deemed to have been disclosed in or with respect to such other section, notwithstanding the omission of an appropriate cross-reference to such other section or the omission of a reference in the particular representation and warranty to such section of the Disclosure Schedules, (d) except as provided in clause (c) above, headings have been inserted in the Disclosure Schedules for convenience of reference only, (e) the Disclosure Schedules are qualified in their entirety by reference to specific provisions of this Agreement and (f) the Disclosure Schedules and the information and statements contained therein are not intended to broaden or constitute, and shall not be construed as broadening or constituting, representations, warranties or covenants of Seller except as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. The information contained in the Disclosure Schedules is provided solely for purposes of making disclosures to Buyer under the Agreement. Seller does not assume any responsibility to any Person that is not a party to the Agreement for the accuracy or completeness of any information therein. Except for the Parties, without the prior written consent of Seller, no Person may rely on the Disclosure Schedules for any purpose. In disclosing such information, Seller does not waive any attorney-client privilege to the extent applicable to such information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine to the extent applicable to any of the matters disclosed in these Schedules. Any item or information disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 10.14 Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any Party failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the Parties shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof; and (B) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither Seller nor Buyer would have entered into this Agreement; provided, however, that, except as set forth in the following sentence of this Section 10.14, in no event shall Seller have the right to seek specific performance to cause the Closing to occur. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to and without limiting Section 9.03), it is explicitly agreed that Seller shall have the right to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing Buyer’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to cause Buyer to enforce the obligations of the Equity Financing Sources under the Equity Commitment Letter in order to cause the Equity Financing to be funded to fund

the Financing Purposes in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter if, and only if, each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by the delivery of documents or taking of any other action at the Closing, but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived and remain satisfied or waived at the time when the Closing would have occurred but for the failure of the Equity Financing to be funded, (ii) Buyer shall have failed to complete the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.03, (iii) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded pursuant to the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive debt agreements, as applicable, if the Equity Financing is funded in accordance with the terms of the Equity Commitment Letter at the Closing and (iv) Seller has confirmed in a written notice delivered to Buyer that if specific performance is granted and the Financing is funded, Seller is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) in no event shall Seller be entitled to both specific performance to consummate the Closing and payment of the Reverse Termination Fee (but Seller shall be entitled to pursue all such remedies concurrently), and (B) in no event shall Seller or its Affiliates be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement directly against any Financing Source Related Parties. Each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such equitable remedies. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy.

Section 10.15 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties (together with any assignee of Buyer pursuant to Section 10.05 and the Guarantors) and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such named Party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or other Representative of any Party, or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (excluding Seller, Buyer and the Guarantors), shall have any Liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or Liabilities of Seller or Buyer under this Agreement (whether for indemnification or otherwise) or of or for any claim based on, arising out of or related to this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 10.15 (or elsewhere in this Agreement (including Sections 3.24, 4.10 or 10.01) shall be deemed to limit, prohibit or impact any rights or claims of any party to (or third party beneficiary of) a Transaction Document or the Confidentiality Agreement against any other party thereto pursuant to the terms thereof.

Section 10.16 Privileged Matters; Conflicts of Interest.

(a) The Parties agree that their respective rights and obligations to maintain, preserve, assert or waive any attorney-client and work product privileges belonging to the other Parties with respect to the Business and the Retained Businesses (collectively, “Privileges”) shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 10.16(a). With respect to matters relating to the Retained Businesses, and with respect to all Business Records, documents, communications or other information (collectively, “Information”) of Seller or any of its Affiliates prepared in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller shall have sole authority to determine whether to assert or waive any Privileges, including the right to assert any Privilege against Buyer and its Subsidiaries. Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Purchased Subsidiaries) not to, take any action without the prior written consent of Seller that would reasonably be expected to result in any waiver of any such Privileges of Seller. After the Closing, Buyer shall have sole authority to determine whether to

assert or waive any Privileges with respect to matters relating to or belonging to the Business (except for Information prepared in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby). However, Buyer may not assert any such Privileges of the Business related to pre-Closing advice or communications relating to the Business against Seller and its Affiliates. Seller shall not, and shall cause the Retained Entities not to, take any action after the Closing without the prior written consent of Buyer that would reasonably be expected to result in any waiver of any such Privileges of Buyer or the Business. The rights and obligations created by this Section 10.16 shall apply to all documents and information as to which Seller or its Affiliates or Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Purchased Subsidiaries) would be entitled to assert or has asserted a Privilege without regard to the effect, if any, of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Privileged Information”). Upon receipt by Seller or its Affiliates, or Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Purchased Subsidiaries), as the case may be, of any subpoena, discovery or other request from any third party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other or if Seller or its Affiliates or Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Purchased Subsidiaries), as the case may be, obtains knowledge that any current or former employee of Seller, its Affiliates or the Purchased Subsidiaries has received any subpoena, discovery or other request from any third party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other Party, such Party shall promptly notify the other of the existence of the request and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it may have under this Section 10.16 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of Privileged Information. Seller’s transfer of any Business Records or other Information to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement and Seller’s agreement to permit Buyer to obtain Information existing prior to the Closing are made in reliance on the Parties’ respective agreements, as set forth in Section 5.15 and this Section 10.16, to maintain the confidentiality of such Information and to take the steps provided herein for the preservation of all Privileges that may belong to or be asserted by Seller or its Affiliates, or Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Purchased Subsidiaries), as the case may be. The access to Business Records and other Information being granted pursuant to Sections 5.02, 5.13 and 5.14 and Article VI, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 5.13 and the disclosure to Seller or its Affiliates, or Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Purchased Subsidiaries) of Privileged Information relating to the Business or the Retained Businesses pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall not be asserted by Seller or Buyer to constitute, or otherwise be deemed, a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Section 10.16 or otherwise.

(b) Conflicts of Interest. Buyer hereby waives and agrees not to assert, and after the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Purchased Subsidiaries to waive and not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing, of Seller or any of the Retained Entities or Seller’s other Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, employees or directors (any such person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, by any legal counsel (“Prior Business Counsel”) currently representing any Designated Person in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer and Seller agree that, following the Closing, Prior Business Counsel may serve as counsel to any Designated Person in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding any representation by Prior Business Counsel prior to the Closing, and Buyer (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Purchased Subsidiaries)) hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Purchased Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and any Designated

Person, on the other hand, Prior Business Counsel may represent one or more Designated Persons in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Purchased Subsidiaries) and even though Prior Business Counsel may have represented such Purchased Subsidiary in a matter substantially related to such dispute.

Section 10.17 Currency. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or as required by applicable Law, all references to currency, monetary values and dollars set forth herein shall mean United States (U.S.) dollars and all payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars. The parties agree that to the extent this Agreement provides for any valuation, measurement or test as of a given date based on an amount specified in U.S. dollars and the subjects of such valuation, measurement or test are comprised of items or matters that are, in whole or in part, denominated other than in U.S. dollars, such non-U.S. dollar amounts shall be converted into U.S. dollars using the foreign exchange rates published by Bloomberg as the Composite 5:00 p.m. New York closing rates (CMPN) one (1) Business Day prior to the date in question; provided, however, that for purposes of any calculation or estimate to be provided by one Party to another Party hereunder, such calculation or estimate shall be made using the foreign exchange rates published by Bloomberg as the Composite 5:00 p.m. New York closing rates (CMPN) one (1) Business Day prior to the delivery of such calculation or estimate.
