Buyer will (A) permit, and will cause the Company to permit, Seller and its advisors and representatives reasonable and timely access to the books, records, properties, premises, work papers, personnel and other information of the Business to permit Seller and its advisors to review

the Preliminary Closing Statement or to address any dispute described in this Section 2.8 (provided, however, that any such investigation shall be conducted during normal business hours under the supervision of the applicable personnel of Buyer or the Company and not interfere unreasonably with the operations of the Business), and (B) cooperate, and will cause the Company to cooperate, with Seller and its advisors and representatives in connection with such review or any dispute, including providing on a timely basis other information reasonably necessary or useful in connection with the review of the Preliminary Closing Statement as is reasonably requested by Seller or its advisors or representatives.

The Preliminary Closing Statement and the calculation of the Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, and Closing Indebtedness contained therein shall entirely disregard (x) any and all effects on the assets or Liabilities of the Business as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Buyer or any other transaction entered into by Buyer in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) any of the plans, transactions or changes that Buyer intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Business, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Buyer or any of its assets or Liabilities.

(b)Seller shall, within sixty (60) days following its receipt of the Preliminary Closing Statement, accept or reject the calculations of Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, and Closing Indebtedness set forth therein. If Seller disagrees with the Preliminary Closing Statement or the calculations of Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, or Closing Indebtedness set forth therein, then Seller shall give written notice to Buyer of such dispute and any reason therefor within such sixty (60)-day period. Should Seller fail to notify Buyer of a dispute within such sixty (60)-day period, Seller shall be deemed to agree with Buyer’s calculations. In the event there is a dispute, Buyer and Seller shall attempt to reconcile their differences, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Buyer of Seller’s written notice of dispute, Seller and Buyer shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to Ernst & Young or, if Ernst & Young is unwilling or unable to serve, to a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer (such identified or selected firm, the “Independent Accountant”). The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert, and not an arbitrator, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to issue its report as to all matters in dispute (and only such matters) and the determination of the Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Adjustment based thereon and/or Closing Cash and Closing Indebtedness within thirty (30) days after such dispute is referred to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall not have the power to modify or amend any term or provision of this Agreement. Buyer on the one hand, and Seller on the other hand, shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by them in connection with such expert review, except that the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant hereunder shall be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Independent Accountant that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Independent Accountant) bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted. This provision shall be specifically enforceable by the Parties, and the decision

of the Independent Accountant in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be final and binding with respect to the matters so arbitrated and there shall be no right of appeal therefrom.

(c)The Preliminary Closing Statement shall be deemed final (the “Final Closing Statement”) upon the earliest of (i) the failure of Seller to notify Buyer of a dispute within sixty (60) days of Seller’s receipt of the Preliminary Closing Statement, (ii) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.8(b), by Seller and Buyer or (iii) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.8(b), by the Independent Accountant. The Final Closing Statement will be prepared in accordance with the agreement of Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 2.8(b), and if and to the extent any disputes are submitted to the Independent Accountant pursuant to Section 2.8(b), the decision of the Independent Accountant.

(d)Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.8(c):

(i)If the Closing Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price, Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount by which the Closing Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price by wire transfer in immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Buyer.

(ii)If the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount by which the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Purchase Price by wire transfer in immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Seller.

(e)The Parties agree that any adjustment as determined pursuant to this Section 2.8 will be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for all Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by Law.

. Within sixty (60) days after the Final Purchase Price shall have been deemed to be final pursuant to Section 2.8, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a schedule that reasonably allocates the Final Purchase Price (together with any assumed Liabilities and any other items required to be taken into account as purchase consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) among the Shares and the Transferred Assets in accordance with Sections 1060 and 338 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Allocation Schedule”). Buyer shall have a period of twenty (20) days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule (the “Response Period”) to present in writing to Seller notice of any objections Buyer may have to the allocation set forth therein (an “Objections Notice”). Unless Buyer timely objects, such Allocation Schedule shall be binding on the Parties without further adjustment, absent manifest error. If Buyer delivers an Objections Notice within the Response Period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use all reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute. If the Parties fail to agree within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Objections Notice, then the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant, whose determination shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Independent Accountant shall resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the item has been referred to it.

. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement and promptly following the Closing, each of Buyer and Seller shall issue a mutually agreeable press release and each of Buyer and Seller may engage in investor communications using mutually agreed investor materials (such press releases and materials collectively, the “Public Releases”) announcing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Other than the Public Releases, none of Buyer or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates shall issue any press release or make any public announcement regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, except for investor calls and meetings, public statements or announcements, in each case, that are consistent with (and do not disclose any information that is not otherwise set forth in) the Public Releases.

Within two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date, Buyer will cause the Company to deliver to the Virginia State Corporation Commission for filing the documentation necessary to change its corporate name to remove any reference to the name “UPS”, provided, however, that the Buyer shall be authorized to merge the Company into the Buyer, as long as the resulting name shall not include any of the Seller Marks it being

understood that Seller will have no liability with respect to the occurrence or effect of such merger (including any consent or notice required to be delivered to a Governmental Entity or third party in connection therewith). As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Company to file in all jurisdictions in which it is qualified to do business any documents necessary to reflect such change of name, merger or to terminate its qualification therein. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event within twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date, Buyer will, at its own expense, remove any and all exterior signs and other identifiers located on or attached to the Companies’ property, building, vehicles, tractors, trailers, signs or premises that refer or pertain to or that include the Seller Marks. Additionally, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will remove from all of the Companies’ letterhead, envelopes, invoices, supplies, labels, product packaging and inserts, web site publications, promotional materials, marketing collateral, advertisements and other communications media of any kind, all references to the Seller Marks. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right to use any of the Seller Marks or any derivative thereof after the conclusion of the periods indicated above. From and after the Closing, except as consented to by Buyer in writing, Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any UPS Freight or Overnite URLs registered to Seller or its Affiliates to be redirected to a website designated by Buyer in writing to Seller prior to the Closing, and such Overnite URLs will be assigned to Buyer as part of the Company Intellectual Property.

. Prior to the Closing, Seller will, or will cause its Affiliates to, transfer to the Company all of Seller’s or such Affiliate’s right, title and interest in and to the Trademarks set forth on Schedule 5.5.

(a)Tax Sharing Agreements. Any Tax sharing agreement between the Company, on the one hand, and Seller (or any Affiliate of Seller other than the Company), on the other hand, shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and shall have no further effect for any Taxable year (whether the current year, a future year, or a past year). As of the Closing, the Company will not have any further obligations to Seller or its Affiliates under any such Tax sharing agreement.

(b)Responsibility for Filing Income Tax Returns for Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date and Combined Tax Returns. Seller shall be responsible for preparing and filing (i) all income Tax Returns of the Company (other than Combined Tax Returns) for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Returns”) and (ii) all Combined Tax Returns. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which any Pre-Closing Tax Return is required to be filed (taking into account any valid extensions), Seller shall submit such Pre-Closing Tax Return to Buyer for Buyer's review. Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller of its disagreement with any items in such Pre-Closing Tax Return within ten (10) business days of its receipt of such Pre-Closing Tax Return, and if Buyer fails to provide such notice, such Pre-Closing Tax Return shall become final and binding upon the parties hereto, and Seller shall timely and properly file such Pre-Closing Tax Return as prepared by Seller taking into account applicable extensions. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any dispute regarding any Pre-Closing Tax Return within five (5) business days after Buyer delivers such notice of disagreement, then the dispute will be resolved by the Independent Accountant. The determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final,

conclusive and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller. If the Independent Accountant is unable to make a determination with respect to any disputed issue prior to the due date (including any extensions) for the filing of the Pre-Closing Tax Return in question, (x) Seller shall file, or cause to be filed, such Pre-Closing Tax Return on or before such due date reflecting Seller’s position on such disputed issue, and (y) to the extent the Independent Accountant’s determination does not adopt such position, the relevant Pre-Closing Tax Return shall be amended to reflect the determination of the Independent Accountant. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not be required to provide any Combined Tax Return to Buyer and Buyer shall not have any right to review or comment on any Combined Tax Return.

(c)Post-Closing Transactions. No election under Section 338(g) of the Code or under Section 336 of the Code, or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law, may be made with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d)Responsibility for Filing Other Tax Returns. Except for the Tax Returns described in Section 5.6(b), Buyer shall, at its own expense, prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns of the Company that have not yet been filed and are required to be filed after the Closing Date. Subject to Section 5.6(e), Buyer shall be reimbursed by Seller for Taxes owed by the Company with respect to any such Tax Returns for Taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Seller of notice from Buyer stating that payment by Buyer or the Company of such Taxes has been made, except to the extent such Taxes were reflected as a Liability on the Final Closing Statement. For purposes of this Section 5.6(d), in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts (including income Taxes and sales and use Taxes), be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date; provided, that, exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Any credits or estimated Tax payments relating to a Straddle Period shall be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date.

(e)Reimbursement of Buyer. With respect to any Tax Return required to be filed by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.6(d) for any Taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of such Tax Return, along with all schedules, statements, workpapers and supporting documentation (the “Supporting Documentation”) promptly after Buyer has prepared such Tax Return and Supporting Documentation. Seller shall have the right to review any such Tax Return and Supporting Documentation; provided, that Buyer shall not be required to request an extension of time for the

filing of such Tax Return and Buyer shall have the right to file such Tax Return even if Seller has not completed its review of such Tax Return and Supporting Documentation or objects to any such Tax Return; and provided, further, that Seller shall not be required to reimburse Buyer for any Taxes paid by Buyer with respect to such Tax Return until Seller has had an opportunity to review such Tax Return and Supporting Documentation. If Seller disputes any items shown on any such Tax Return, Seller shall notify Buyer within twenty (20) Business Days after receiving such Tax Return and the Supporting Documentation. Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disputed items. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any disputed items within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Seller of the Tax Return filed or proposed to be filed, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant, which shall resolve any issue in dispute as promptly as practicable. If any disputed issue has not been resolved prior to the date Buyer files the Tax Return in question, Buyer shall be reimbursed by Seller the amount of Taxes not in dispute with respect to such Tax Return. Upon resolution of any dispute by Buyer and Seller or by the Independent Accountant’s delivery of its determination to Buyer and Seller, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the amount paid in order to reflect the resolution by Buyer and Seller or the Independent Accountant’s determination, as the case may be. If such determination reflects an overpayment by Seller, Buyer shall promptly pay, or shall cause the relevant Company to promptly pay to Seller an amount equal to such overpayment amount. The determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller.

(f)Certain Taxes. All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the transfer of the Shares or the Transferred Assets and Liabilities shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by each of Buyer and Seller when due (provided that any Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with Section 5.12(a) and Section 5.12(b)(i) will be borne one hundred percent (100%) by Seller). The Party responsible under applicable Law for filing the Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns and promptly provide a copy of such Tax Return to the other Party. Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate to timely prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes.

(g)Tax Proceedings. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing upon receipt by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company) of any written communication from a Governmental Entity concerning any pending or threatened audit, claim, demand, proposed adjustment or deficiency, assessment or administrative or judicial proceeding (a “Tax Claim”) involving the Company, the Business, or the Transferred Assets and Liabilities that relates to Taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date and, to the extent known, shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such Tax Claim; provided, however, that the failure of Buyer to provide such notice shall not release Seller from any of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent Seller is prejudiced by such failure. Seller will have the exclusive right to control any such Tax Claim relating to Taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date. If Seller chooses not to control any such Tax Claim, Buyer shall control such Tax Claim. With respect to any Tax Claim, (i) the controlling party shall keep the non-controlling party informed of all material developments, (ii) the non-controlling party shall have the right to participate in such Tax Claim (at the non-controlling party’s expense), and (iii) the controlling party may not settle such

Tax Claim without the consent of the non-controlling party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent of any conflict between this Section 5.6(g) and Section 8.3, this Section 5.6(g) shall be controlling with respect to any Tax Claims.

(h)Refunds and Tax Benefits. Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or the Company, and any amounts credited against Taxes to which Buyer or the Company becomes entitled (including any interest paid or credited with respect thereto), that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date and are not reflected as an asset on the Final Closing Statement shall be for the account of Seller, and Buyer shall pay over to Seller an amount equal to such refund or amount of any such credit within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement thereto. Upon written request of Seller, Buyer shall, at Seller’s expense, cause the relevant entity to file for, and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the receipt of, any refund that is for the account of Seller under this Section 5.6(h). Any such refunds or credits relating to any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between Buyer and Seller.

(i)Amendments to Returns. Following the Closing, except as required by Law, Buyer shall not (i) file any amended Tax Return for the Company for a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, (ii) make, change or revoke any Tax election or change any accounting period or method of the Company with retroactive effect to any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, (iii) extend or waive, or cause to be extended or waived, any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency related to a Taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, or (iv) make or initiate any voluntary contact with a Governmental Entity regarding Taxes for any Taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, in each case, without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The preparation and filing of any amended Tax Return by Buyer permitted under this Section 5.6(i) shall be subject to the disclosure, review and dispute resolution procedures set out in Section 5.6(e).

(j)Tax Cooperation. Buyer and Seller will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns relating to the operations of the Company and any Action with respect to Taxes. Cooperation includes (i) the retention and (on the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to the filing of any Tax Returns and any Action and (ii) making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Agreement. Each of Seller and Buyer agree (A) to retain all books and records of the Company with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer, any extensions thereof) of the respective Taxable periods, (B) to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Entity and (C) to give the other Party reasonable written notice before transferring, destroying or discarding any books and records and, if the other Party so requests, allow such other Party to take possession of the books and records.

(k)Purchase Price Adjustment. Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(l)Agreement Regarding Payment of the Completion Bonus Amount. The Parties agree that any deductions relating to the payment of the Completion Bonus Amount to the Completion Bonus Employees pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be reported in the Taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on the Closing Date for U.S. federal (and all applicable state and local) income Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by Law; provided, that if the Parties agree that any such deductions are properly reportable in a Taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date (“Post-Closing Deductions”), or if as required by applicable Law, such Post-Closing Deductions are not permitted to be taken in a Taxable period (or portion thereof) ending prior to the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller, within ten (10) days following such agreement, an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount of the Post-Closing Deductions and (ii) twenty-five percent (25%).

. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Buyer agrees that it shall, and it shall cause the Company to, (a) preserve and keep the records (including all Tax and accounting records) of the Business for a period of seven years from the Closing, or for any longer periods as may be required by any Governmental Entity or ongoing litigation, and (b) make such records available to Seller as may be reasonably required by Seller. If Buyer or the Company wishes to destroy such records after the time specified above, Buyer shall first give sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Seller, and Seller shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to Buyer within that sixty (60)-day period, to take possession of the records within ninety (90) days after the date of Seller’s notice to Buyer.

(a)After the Closing, Buyer shall initially cause the Company to employ each employee of the Company, whether salaried or hourly (including each such employee who is absent due to vacation, holiday, illness, leave of absence, or short-term disability, but not including any such employee whose short-term disability period has ended and as a result has become eligible to receive long-term disability benefits prior to the Closing Date), (i) at the same or comparable job or position and location as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) at a salary or wage level and annual and long-term bonus opportunities at least equal to the salary or wage level and annual and long-term bonus opportunities to which such employee was entitled immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) with all benefits, perquisites and other terms and conditions of employment that are at least as favorable as the benefits, perquisites and other terms and conditions that such employee was entitled to receive immediately prior to the Closing Date (including for this purpose benefits pursuant to qualified retirement and savings plans, medical, dental and pharmaceutical plans and programs, incentive compensation plans, vacation benefits, paid time off and sick pay but excluding deferred compensation arrangements, non-qualified retirement and savings plans, retiree medical plans, and equity-based compensation plans), except as and to the extent otherwise provided in Section 5.8(b). Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, agrees to maintain the foregoing clauses (i) – (iii) in place until December 31, 2021 (subject to Section 5.8(b)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each employee of the Company whose terms and conditions of employment are governed by a collective bargaining agreement or other Contract with a labor organization, Buyer shall ensure that the Company continues to abide by and apply the terms of such applicable collective bargaining agreement(s) or other Contract(s) until such collective bargaining agreement(s) or other Contract(s) is modified, amended or terminated in accordance with the terms of the applicable collective bargaining

agreement or other Contract and applicable Law, including providing each such employee with a qualified defined benefit retirement plan and a qualified defined contribution retirement plan, established as soon as administratively practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) days after the Closing) with an effective date for accrual of benefits as of the Closing Date, with terms and conditions that are substantially similar to those of the comparable qualified defined benefit retirement plan and qualified defined contribution retirement plan of Seller in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, all employees of the Company shall cease accruing benefits under the qualified defined benefit retirement plans and qualified defined contribution retirement plans of Seller as of the Closing Date, and Seller will retain all assets and liabilities accrued under such plans prior to Closing. Any Transferred Employees who are eligible to participate in Seller’s retiree medical plan on or prior to the Closing Date will be afforded the opportunity to participate in such plan, according to the terms of that plan.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.8(a), to the contrary, Buyer shall not be required to provide a qualified defined benefit retirement plan to the employees of the Company whose terms and conditions of employment are not governed by a collective bargaining agreement or other Contract with a labor organization. In lieu thereof, Buyer shall provide such employees, and any such employees participating in the qualified defined contribution retirement plan of Seller immediately prior to the Closing Date regardless of whether such employees participated in Seller’s qualified defined benefit retirement plan, with a qualified defined contribution retirement plan, effective as of the Closing Date, with terms and conditions that are substantially similar to those of the comparable qualified defined contribution retirement plan of Seller in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, provided that Buyer shall make, (i) employer matching and retirement contributions in amounts equal to the amounts in effect under the comparable qualified defined contribution retirement plan of Seller immediately before the Closing Date for a period not ending prior to December 31, 2021, and (ii) for such employees hired prior to January 1, 2008 who participated in the qualified defined benefit retirement plan of Seller immediately prior the Closing Date, additional Pension Make-Up Payments for a period not ending prior to December 31, 2021, subject to reduction to the extent required for such benefits to comply with all compliance testing and other legal requirements.

(c)Without limiting the generality of Section 5.8(a), (i) Buyer agrees that Company will provide continuation coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 of ERISA to (A) its employees and former employees and their “qualified beneficiaries” as required by Law, and (B) any employee or former employee who primarily performed services for the Business and becomes a Transferred Employee whose “qualifying event” occurs on or after the Closing Date and his or her “qualified beneficiaries” (in each case the terms “qualifying event” and “qualified beneficiaries” being defined under Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 of ERISA); (ii) Buyer agrees that it will cause the Company to assume, honor and be solely responsible for paying, providing or satisfying when due all vacation, sick pay and other paid time off for Transferred Employees accrued but unused as of the Closing Date, on terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date (for purposes of clarity, no payout of any vacation, sick pay or other paid time off shall be made in connection with the Closing unless otherwise required by the applicable terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date); (iii) Buyer will cause any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement applicable to the Transferred Employees following the Closing Date, using commercially reasonable efforts, to (A) recognize all costs and expenses

incurred by the Transferred Employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries) up to (and including) the Closing Date for the plan year which includes the Closing Date, for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, co-payment, coinsurance, maximum out-of-pocket provisions and like adjustments or limitations on coverage under any such benefit plan, (B) waive any preexisting condition, evidence of insurability, good health, actively-at-work exclusions and similar limitations for the Transferred Employees to the same extent as would have been recognized under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (C) credit all service of the Transferred Employees prior to the Closing Date for all eligibility and vesting purposes and for purposes of vacation, sick pay and other paid time off accruals and severance benefit determinations to the same extent as would have been recognized under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent that such a credit would result in the duplication of benefits; and (iv) Buyer shall maintain for at least one (1) year starting on the Closing Date the same severance arrangements applicable to the Transferred Employees that were in effect immediately before the Closing Date (the “Seller Severance Arrangements”). Schedule 5.8(c) sets forth the details of the Seller Severance Arrangements applicable to the Transferred Employees. Buyer and Seller agree that any Liability in respect of a person covered under clause (i)(A) above whose qualifying event occurred prior to the Closing Date and all Liabilities under clause (ii) above will be accrued as Current Liabilities in Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.8.

(d)Prior to the Closing Date, Seller will furnish a census of all expected Transferred Employees in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. Buyer will make available to each Transferred Employee such number of unused vacation days and other paid time off accrued by such employee with Seller or any Affiliate of Seller prior to the Closing Date in accordance with applicable personnel policies applicable to such employees on the date hereof, and the related accrual as of the Closing Date will be reflected in the Final Closing Statement.

(e)Seller will cause all payments under all Employee Benefit Plans sponsored by Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company) to be made for all periods prior to and following the Closing in accordance with the terms of each applicable Employee Benefit Plan. Prior to the Closing, Seller may transfer (or cause to be transferred) to the Company the employment of any employees of Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company) who primarily support the Business, such that those employees are employees of the Company as of the Closing and will become Transferred Employees.

(f)In respect of the defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans set forth on Schedule 5.8(f), Seller will take the actions to be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto promptly following the date of this Agreement (such actions, the “Benefit Plan Actions”); provided, however, that in no event will any Benefit Plan Actions unreasonably interfere with the operation of Seller’s or any of its Affiliate’s business. Buyer shall (i) promptly upon request by Seller reimburse Seller for all out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Benefit Plan Actions, whether incurred before or after the Closing, and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Losses incurred by them in connection with the Benefit Plan Actions, except to the extent any such Losses resulted from the bad faith or willful misconduct of Seller, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives.

(a)Except as permitted by Section 5.9(b), for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, Parent and Seller shall not, and each shall cause its Controlled Affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in the Territory, in the Covered Business.

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 5.9(a), Parent, Seller and the Affiliates of each are permitted at any time to:

(ii)acquire any portion of the assets or Equity Interests of any Person engaged in the Covered Business so long as the Covered Business accounts for less than fifty percent (50%) of the revenues of such Person (based on the latest available, relevant annual financial statements);

(iii)acquire, hold or own, directly or indirectly, not more than five percent (5%) of a class of securities listed on a national or international securities exchange issued by any Person engaged in the Covered Business;

(iv)acquire, hold or own, directly or indirectly, any Equity Interests or any securities convertible into any Equity Interests of any Person engaged in the Covered Business received by Parent, Seller or any Affiliate of either as consideration for or otherwise in connection with a disposition or other strategic transaction; and

(v)perform their obligations or exercise their rights under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(c)For a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, Parent and Seller shall not, and each shall cause its Controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or recruit for employment any individual that is then employed by the Company, or (ii) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company to terminate or sever his or her employment with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Parent or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates from: (A) soliciting any employee for employment with respect to any public advertisement or posting or other form of general solicitation that is not specifically directed at such employees of the Company or as is conducted by search firms not directed by Parent, Seller or either’s Affiliates to target such employees of the Company or hiring any employees who contact Parent, Seller or any of their Affiliates in response to any such general solicitation; or (B) soliciting any employee who is terminated by the Company following the Closing.

(d)Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company) that any restrictive covenants contained in agreements between the Company, on the one hand, and Parent, Seller or any of their Affiliates (other than the Company), on the other hand, will automatically lapse and be of no further effect with respect to any portion of the Retained Businesses in which Parent, Seller or their Affiliates no longer own a controlling interest.

(e)Following the Closing, if any Person that as of the Closing was a Controlled Affiliate of Parent or Seller subsequently ceases to be a Controlled Affiliate, such Person will (automatically and without the need for any further action) no longer be subject to the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 5.9.

(a)After the Closing, Buyer and the Company, jointly and severally, shall forever indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and any of its Affiliates against any Liabilities, damages, costs or expenses that Seller or any of its Affiliates suffers, incurs or is liable for by reason of or arising out of or in consequence of: (i) Seller or any of its Affiliates issuing, making payment under, being required to pay or reimburse the issuer of, or being a party to, any guarantee, lease, indemnity, surety bond, letter of credit, letter of comfort or other obligation to the extent relating to the Business listed on Schedule 5.10 (collectively, the “Indemnified Guarantees”); (ii) any claim or demand for payment made on Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to any of the Indemnified Guarantees; or (iii) any Action by any Person who is or claims to be entitled to the benefit of or claims to be entitled to payment, reimbursement or indemnity with respect to any Indemnified Guarantees.

(b)Buyer shall use all reasonable best efforts to cause itself or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Seller and any of its Affiliates, and for Seller and its Affiliates to be released, effective as of the Closing, in respect of all obligations of Seller and any of its Affiliates under each of the guarantees, leases, indemnities, letters of credit, surety bonds, letters of comfort, commitments, understandings, Contracts and other obligations of such Persons related to the Business listed on Schedule 5.10. For any items listed on Schedule 5.10 for which Buyer or one if its Affiliates is not substituted in all respects for Seller and its Affiliates (and for which Seller and its Affiliates are not released) effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall continue to use all reasonable best efforts and shall cause the Company to use all reasonable best efforts to effect such substitution and release after the Closing. To the effect such substitution and release has not been effected with respect to any Indemnified Guarantee within nine (9) months following the Closing, then, within ten (10) Business Days of the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing, Buyer must post a letter of credit in the face amount equal to the aggregate obligations under all such Indemnified Guarantees with respect to which such substitution and release has not been effected.

(c)Following the Closing, Seller and Buyer covenant and agree to promptly remit to the other Party (or Affiliate thereof) any payments received that are owed to the other Party (or Affiliate thereof). From and after the Closing, Seller shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) forward promptly to Buyer any monies, checks or instruments received by Seller or any of its Affiliates after the Closing to the extent constituting any accounts receivable or other assets included in the Transferred Assets or belonging to the Company. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) forward promptly to Seller any monies, checks or instruments received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates after the Closing to the extent constituting any accounts receivable or other assets included in the Excluded Assets, or otherwise not belonging to the Company and not included in the Transferred Assets and Liabilities.

. Effective at the Closing, all Contracts set forth on Schedule 5.11 shall be terminated without any party having any continuing

obligation to the other. Subject to the execution and delivery of the Intercompany Arrangement Amendments, the Intercompany Arrangement Agreements will remain in place following the Closing in accordance with their terms. For the avoidance of doubt, understandings or Contracts entered into by Seller or any of its Affiliates, other than the Company, with a third party, shall not be terminated pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, except to the extent expressly provided in any Ancillary Agreement, or otherwise agreed to by Seller and Buyer, the Business shall no longer receive any benefits under such understandings or Contracts.

(a)At or prior to the Closing Date, Seller will cause the Company to transfer to Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than the Company) all of the Company’s right, title, and interest in and to those parcels of real property owned or leased by the Company and not used in the Business, which such properties are set forth on Schedule 5.12(a) (the “Seller Retained Real Property”).

(b)At or prior to the Closing Date, (i) Seller shall transfer or cause to be transferred to the Company all of Seller’s or its applicable Affiliate’s right, title and interest in each parcel of Owned Real Property that is Seller Business Real Property as of the date hereof, which Owned Real Property is identified on Schedule 5.12(b)(i), and (ii) assuming the receipt of all necessary consents, Seller shall assign or cause to be assigned to the Company all right, title and interest in the lessee’s or tenant’s interest in any Leased Real Property that is Seller Business Real Property as of the date hereof, which Leased Real Property is identified on Schedule 5.12(b)(ii).

(c)Prior to the date hereof, Seller has (i) ordered title commitments covering the Owned Real Property listed on Schedule 5.12(c) attached hereto, (ii) provided Buyer with copies of the existing title policies covering the remainder of the Owned Real Property, and (iii) provided Buyer with copies of the vesting deeds covering the Owned Real Property. Seller will provide copies of the title commitments for the Commitment Delivery Real Property to Buyer promptly following receipt thereof.

(d)Seller shall take such actions contemplated in Schedule 5.12(d) attached hereto.

. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earliest of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Buyer hereby agrees that it is not authorized to and shall not (and shall not permit any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives to) initiate any substantive contact with any employee, customer, supplier or other material business relation of the Business regarding the Business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except to acknowledge the information publicly available and provide reasonable assurance of continuity) without the prior written consent of Seller.

. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and consummate

and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that no Party shall be required to waive any condition contained in Article VI.

(a)Buyer Release. Effective as of the Closing, Buyer on behalf of itself and its past, present or future successors, assigns, employees, agents, equityholders, partners, Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company) and representatives (including their past, present or future officers and directors) (the “Buyer Releasors”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, acquits and forever discharges Seller and its predecessors, successors, parents, Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and all of their respective current and former officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, employees, agents and representatives, and each individual who was a director of the Company at or prior to the Closing, of and from any and all Actions, damages, accounts and Liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) held by any Buyer Releasor, whether known or unknown, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, direct or derivative, to the extent arising out of or relating to Seller’s or its Affiliates’ ownership of the Company and the Transferred Assets and Liabilities or such director’s service as a director of the Company, in each case, arising from any act or omission prior to the Closing, except for any of the foregoing set forth in, pursuant to, or arising out of (a) this Agreement, any agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement (including the Ancillary Agreements), or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) any existing agreements between Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company following the Closing), on the one hand, and Seller and its Affiliates, on the other hand, for matters arising and accruing (and only to the extent arising and accruing) unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Buyer Releasors irrevocably covenant to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any Action of any kind against any released party, based upon any matter released hereby.

(b)Seller Release. Effective as of the Closing, Seller on behalf of itself and its past, present or future successors, assigns, employees, agents, equityholders, partners, Affiliates and representatives (including their past, present or future officers and directors) (the “Seller Releasors”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, acquits and forever discharges Buyer and its predecessors, successors, parents, Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including the Company), and all of their respective current and former officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, employees, agents and representatives, of and from any and all Actions, damages, accounts and Liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) held by any Seller Releasor, whether known or unknown, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, direct or derivative, to the extent arising out of or relating to Seller’s or its Affiliates’ ownership of the Company and the Transferred Assets and Liabilities, in each case, arising from any act or omission prior to the Closing, except for any of the foregoing set forth in, pursuant to, or arising out of (a) this Agreement, any agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) any existing agreements between Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company following the Closing), on the one hand, and Seller and its Affiliates, on the other hand, for matters arising and accruing (and only to the extent arising and accruing) unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller Releasors irrevocably covenant to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim,

or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any Action of any kind against any released party, based upon any matter released hereby.

(a)From and after the Closing, the Company shall cease to be insured by Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ current occurrence-based, claims made or claims reported Insurance Policies or programs or by any of their current and historical self-insured programs, and neither Buyer nor the Company will have any access, right, title or interest to or in any such current Insurance Policies, programs or self-insured programs (including to all claims and rights and to make claims and all rights to proceeds) to cover any assets of the Company or any Liability arising from the operation of the Company’s business.

(b)To the extent that any claim related to the Business or the Transferred Assets and Liabilities arising out of any act, omission, occurrence, fact or circumstance first existing or occurring on or prior to the Closing Date is made against the Company (other than a claim for which the Seller is responsible hereunder), and any of the Insurance Policies maintained by Seller or its Affiliates (“Applicable Insurance Coverage”) by its terms applies to such claim (any such claim, an “Insurance Coverage Claim”), upon the Company’s written request (and at the Company’s sole cost and expense, including with respect to any deductible, retention or increase to premium to the extent related to the payment of such Insurance Coverage Claim), Seller shall submit such Insurance Coverage Claim upon receipt of such written request from Company to the insurer under the Applicable Insurance Coverage for potential payment with respect to such Insurance Coverage Claim. In addition, Seller agrees to cooperate with the Company (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) to use commercially reasonable efforts to make the benefits of the Applicable Insurance Coverage available to the Company (subject to the terms and conditions of such Applicable Insurance Coverage) with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claims. To the extent the Seller or any of its Affiliates incur any cost or Liability (including with respect to any deductible, retention or increase to premium to the extent related to the payment of such Insurance Coverage Claim) in connection with any Insurance Coverage Claim (“Claim Costs”), Buyer and the Company will fully reimburse Seller in the amount of, and indemnify Seller and its Affiliates in respect of, any such Claim Costs, regardless of whether Buyer or the Company is successful in recovering any amounts as a result of such Insurance Coverage Claim. In the event that (i) Seller receives any proceeds of the Applicable Insurance Coverage with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claim thereunder, and (ii) the Company has made a payment to a third party as a result of the act, omission, occurrence, fact or circumstance underlying such Insurance Coverage Claim, Seller shall promptly pay or reimburse the Company with respect to the excess of (x) the amount so paid by the Company in accordance with this section over (y) any Claim Costs that have not previously been reimbursed by the Company to Seller. Buyer and the Company will cooperate with Seller and any third-party adjuster in connection with the management or defense of any such Insurance Coverage Claim and will retain ultimate responsibility for any liability associated therewith, if any. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to maintain the current and Applicable Insurance Coverage and may modify, cancel or terminate such policies at any time in their sole discretion. In no event will Buyer or the Company (or any of their Affiliates) be required to post cash or other collateral in respect of any Insurance Coverage Claim, it being understood that neither Seller nor any of its

Affiliates will have any liability for the rejection of any Insurance Coverage Claim by the applicable insurer as a result thereof.

. After the Closing, Buyer agrees that it shall not, and that it shall cause its Subsidiaries (which, for purposes of this Section 5.17 shall include the Company) not to, take or omit to take any action that could result in a determination pursuant to applicable Law that, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or after giving effect to such transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to such other subsequent actions or omissions), Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries, including the Company (on both a stand-alone and on a combined basis), (a) was insolvent at the time of the Closing, (b) became insolvent as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (c) was left with unreasonably small capital with which to engage in its business, or (d) incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, such that the payment of the Closing Purchase Price may be deemed a “fraudulent conveyance” or impermissible dividend or distribution under applicable Law or otherwise subject to claims of any creditors of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries, including the Company, or their trustees in bankruptcy proceedings.

(a)If, after the Closing Date, Seller or its Affiliates or Buyer identifies any asset that should have been a Transferred Asset and was not previously transferred by Seller or any of its Affiliates to Buyer, then, to the extent that Seller has the right to do so and without paying additional consideration (other than a nominal fee (e.g., $1)) to a third party, Seller shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to) transfer such asset to Buyer pursuant to the terms hereof for no additional consideration. Until such time that Seller or any of its Affiliates transfers such asset to Buyer, Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Buyer and its Subsidiaries (i) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable, sub-licensable and transferable right and license (or sub-license, as the case may be) to fully use, practice and otherwise exploit such asset and (ii) a covenant not to sue with respect to the foregoing activities, in each case under (i) and (ii), effective as of the Closing Date.

(b)If, after the Closing Date, Buyer or its Affiliates or Seller identifies any asset that is not expressly a Transferred Asset that has inadvertently come into the possession of Buyer, and was not previously transferred by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to Seller, then, to the extent that Buyer has the right to do so and without paying additional consideration (other than a nominal fee (e.g., $1)) to a third party, Buyer shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to) transfer such asset to Seller pursuant to the terms hereof for no additional consideration. Until such time that Buyer or any of its Affiliates transfers such asset to Seller, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Seller and its Subsidiaries (i) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable, sub-licensable and transferable right and license (or sub-license, as the case may be) to fully use, practice and otherwise exploit such asset and (ii) a covenant not to sue with respect to the foregoing activities, in each case under (i) and (ii), effective as of the Closing Date.

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Seller and its Affiliates (including the Company (prior to the Closing)) from taking or failing to take any COVID-19 Measures, and no such action or

omission shall be deemed to violate or breach this Agreement or to cause any of the conditions to the Closing to fail to be satisfied.

. No later than forty-five (45) days following the Closing, Seller shall deliver to the Company (a) an audited balance sheet of the Business as of, and audited statements of income, cash flows, and changes in equity of the Business for the year ended, December 31, 2020, and related notes, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and (b) an unaudited balance sheet as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and unaudited interim statement of income for the period then ended, prepared consistent with past practices and Part I of the Accounting Principles, and subject to normal and recurring year-end adjustments, none of which are material, individually or in the aggregate, and the absence of notes, none of which, if presented, would materially differ from those in the Audited Financial Statements.

. From and after the Closing, Seller or its applicable Affiliate(s) will remain responsible for payment, performance and discharge, when due, of all Excluded Liabilities at its sole cost and expense. From and after the Closing, Buyer will be responsible for payment, performance and discharge, when due, of all Transferred Liabilities and (except to the extent of Seller’s responsibilities with respect to (a) Section 5.23 Matters, (b) Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Matters to the extent contemplated by Section 5.23(d) or (c) Workers’ Compensation Claims and Auto Claims arising prior to the Closing Date) the Liabilities of the Company at its sole cost and expense.

(a)Following the Closing, in the event and for so long as Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, as applicable, is prosecuting, contesting or defending any Action, other investigation, charge, claim, or demand by a third party (including any securities regulator) in connection with (i) the transactions contemplated herein (including in respect of any regulatory policy issued by a securities regulator that is applicable to such transactions), or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction relating to, in connection with or arising from the Company, the Transferred Assets, any Workers’ Compensation Claims or any Auto Claims, the other Party shall, and shall cause its respective directors, officers and employees to (in each case at the sole cost and expense of the first Party except with respect to Workers’ Compensation Claims and Auto Claims, which shall be handled as set forth in Section 5.24), cooperate in good faith with such first Party and its counsel in such prosecution, contest or defenses, including making reasonably available its personnel, and providing such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with such prosecution, contest or defense; provided, that the first Party shall treat all such information as confidential and hereby agrees not to use such information for any purpose other than in connection with such Action, other investigation, charge, claim or demand by a third party; and provided, further, that no Party shall be obliged to disclose or provide access to any documents, records or information subject to attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product protection (provided, however, that such Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such disclosure (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product protection.

Following the Closing, Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably apprised of any updates pertaining to the Company Specified Matters and may settle each Company Specified Matter on terms and conditions deemed appropriate in the reasonable discretion of Buyer; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of judgement with respect to any Company Specified Matter unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of Seller and each of its Affiliates that were named in such Company Specified Matter and such Person’s officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from any and all Liabilities arising out of such Company Specified Matter, (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Affiliates that was named in such Company Specified Matter or such Person’s officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates, and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the Retained Businesses or any other business of Seller or any of its Affiliates.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Seller and Buyer shall, subject to attorney-client privilege, promptly notify the other of the receipt and content of any oral or written communication, inquiries or requests for additional information it receives with respect from the applicable court or any other named party in such Company Specified Matter with respect to any Company Specified Matter Party Substitution and will promptly: (i) cooperate in all respects with the other in connection with any Company Specified Matter Party Substitution and any inquiry related thereto; (ii) permit the other to review in advance and incorporate the other’s reasonable comments in any motion, filing or other communication submitted by it to the applicable court with respect to any Company Specified Matter Party Substitution; (iii) not participate or agree to participate in any meeting or telephone call or discussion with the applicable court or other parties named in the applicable Company Specified Matter in respect of any Company Specified Matter Party Substitution, unless it consults with the other in advance and gives the other or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or telephone call or discussion; and (iv) act in good faith and reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any Company Specified Matter Party Substitution and in connection with resolving any inquiry of the applicable court and other parties with respect to the applicable Company Specified Matter.

(d)At the Closing, the Company will assign to the Seller, and the Seller shall assume, all rights to, and all obligations and Liabilities under, and shall have full control over the conduct of, any matters or Actions to the extent arising out of or relating to the Section 5.23 Matters or any Excluded Liabilities as to which the Company is a named party or otherwise may have Liability (the “Seller Specified Matters”). Following the Closing, Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably apprised of any updates pertaining to the Seller Specified Matters and may settle each Seller Specified Matter on terms and conditions deemed appropriate in the reasonable discretion of

Seller; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of judgement with respect to any Seller Specified Matter unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of Company and each of its Affiliates that were named in such Seller Specified Matter and such Person’s officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from any and all Liabilities arising out of such Seller Specified Matter, (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability by or on behalf of Company or any of its Affiliates that was named in such Seller Specified Matter or such Person’s officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates, and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the Business or any other business of Company or any of its Affiliates.

(e)Following the Closing, Seller shall use its best efforts to assume all rights to, and all obligations and Liabilities under, each Seller Specified Matter, including by cooperating with Company and promptly filing (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date) with the applicable court all motions and other documents necessary to cause Seller to be substituted in place of Company and any of its Affiliates named in such Seller Specified Matter (“Seller Specified Matter Party Substitution”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Seller and Buyer shall, subject to attorney-client privilege, promptly notify the other of the receipt and content of any oral or written communication, inquiries or requests for additional information it receives with respect from the applicable court or any other named party in such Seller Specified Matter with respect to any Seller Specified Matter Party Substitution and will promptly: (i) cooperate in all respects with the other in connection with any Seller Specified Matter Party Substitution and any inquiry related thereto; (ii) permit the other to review in advance and incorporate the other’s reasonable comments in any motion, filing or other communication submitted by it to the applicable court with respect to any Seller Specified Matter Party Substitution; (iii) not participate or agree to participate in any meeting or telephone call or discussion with the applicable court or other parties named in the applicable Seller Specified Matter in respect of any Seller Specified Matter Party Substitution, unless it consults with the other in advance and gives the other or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or telephone call or discussion; and (iv) act in good faith and reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any Seller Specified Matter Party Substitution and in connection with resolving any inquiry of the applicable court and other parties with respect to the applicable Seller Specified Matter.

(a)With respect to the Business Real Property set forth on Schedule 5.23(a)-1, Seller will, or will cause its Affiliates, at its sole cost and expense: (i) to take all such corrective actions as may be required to fully and promptly bring into compliance with Environmental Law (including remediation to the extent required thereby) and any applicable settlement or Order (including remediation to the extent required thereby), all of such properties in relation to the subject matter addressed in the Action described on Schedule 5.23(a)-2 (the “Section 5.23 Matters”, and such corrective actions, the “Section 5.23 Corrective Actions”); (ii) to satisfy monetary Liabilities imposed with respect to such Section 5.23 Matters; and (iii) to be responsible for legal fees or other expert or consultants fees directly resulting from the matters described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) incurred by Seller and its Affiliates.

(b)To the extent the Section 5.23 Corrective Actions have not been completed by the Closing, at the election of Seller, Buyer will either (i) afford Seller and its representatives reasonable and necessary access to the affected properties, personnel and information regarding the affected properties after the Closing to complete the Section 5.23 Corrective Actions, and/or (ii) complete the implementation of the Section 5.23 Corrective Actions at Seller’s sole cost and expense, which Seller will reimburse to Buyer not less frequently than monthly as incurred. For purposes of clarity, completion of the Section 5.23 Corrective Actions will not be a condition to the Closing.

(c)Buyer acknowledges that, following the completion of the Section 5.23 Corrective Actions, (i) Buyer and the Company will be fully responsible for implementing, maintaining and adhering to the resulting compliance measures in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws; and (ii) Buyer agrees to provide, and cause the Company to provide, any required certifications to that effect, including any certifications requested by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and to Seller; provided, however, that Buyer shall be solely responsible for the accuracy and correctness of any such certification.

(d)Other than with respect to the Section 5.23 Matters and the Section 5.23 Corrective Actions, Buyer will control the authorization and implementation of any and all compliance or remediation measures or actions taken or to be taken at any of the Business Real Property following the Closing to remedy (i) any violations of Environmental Laws or (ii) the presence of Hazardous Substances at concentrations that require remedial action (so long as identified in any Phase I environmental study, any Phase II environmental study (but with respect to a Phase II environmental study, only to the extent such Phase II environmental study was prepared prior to the date hereof or arose directly from a Phase I environmental study that was prepared either before or after the date hereof), or to comply with the legal requirements under applicable Environmental Laws, in each case, related to the Business Real Property prepared by Buyer’s environmental consultant) (each, a “Buyer Environmental Study”), or identified during the course of any remediation efforts conducted in good faith by Buyer to remedy any violations of applicable Environmental Law or the presence of Hazardous Substances at concentrations that require remedial action identified in a Buyer Environmental Study), in each case, to bring such Business Real Property locations into compliance for the continued use of such location for commercial or industrial purposes (such measures to include the removal and replacement of underground storage tanks to the extent the foregoing standards are satisfied, but only if the removal of such tanks is recommended in a Phase II environmental study (only to the extent such Phase II environmental study was prepared prior to the date hereof or arose directly from a Phase I environmental study that was prepared either before or after the date hereof)) (“Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures”). Prior to the one (1)-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer must deliver to Seller a statement executed by an authorized representative of Buyer setting forth in reasonable detail a list of all Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures (the “Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures Statement”); it being understood that Buyer may update and supplement the Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures Statement prior to (but may not do so after) the one (1)-year anniversary of the Closing Date in writing executed by an authorized representative of Buyer, and the Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures set forth on the latest Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.23(d) will be deemed final for all purposes of this Agreement. The costs and the expenses of the Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures shall be

borne as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 5.23(d); provided that (A) Seller will only be responsible for the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of any Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measure to the extent such Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measure is (I) properly identified in the Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures Statement or identified during the course of any remediation measures conducted in good faith by Buyer in respect of matters identified in such Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures Statement, and (II) completed prior to the three (3)-year anniversary of the Closing Date. With respect to the costs and expenses for Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures to be borne by Seller pursuant to this Section 5.23(d), Seller will only be responsible to the extent (x) such costs and expenses are documented and out-of-pocket costs and expenses that have actually been incurred by Buyer, (y) Buyer properly brings an indemnity claim for such documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses pursuant to Section 8.1(f), and (z) such costs and expenses relate to measures designed to achieve, in a reasonably cost-effective manner (with Buyer being obligated to use reasonable best efforts to minimize such costs), the minimum standard that will comply with all applicable remedial standards for continued industrial use or commercial use of the applicable Business Real Property (with the cost of any measures taken in excess of such standard being at Buyer’s sole cost and expense). Buyer shall make claims under this Section 5.23(d) no more often than monthly by submitting to Seller an invoice and supporting documentation in reasonable detail (“Environmental Invoice”), and Seller shall pay the invoiced amount (or any undisputed portion thereof) within thirty (30) days of receipt. To the extent any invoiced amount is disputed, Buyer and Seller will present information and negotiate in good faith concerning the disputed amount and, if an agreement is not reached within such period, either party may submit the matter to the Independent Accountant (or, if the Independent Accountant does not have sufficient expertise to determine such disputed matter, a mutually-agreed, nationally recognized environmental consultant) for determination in a manner consistent with the relevant procedures set forth in Section 2.8. The first $40,000,000 of costs and expenses incurred by Buyer and its Affiliates for Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures will be borne by Seller, and thereafter, any other costs and expenses incurred by Buyer and its Affiliates for Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures will be borne by Buyer.

(e)Upon receipt by Buyer, Buyer will promptly deliver to Seller complete and accurate copies of each Buyer Environmental Study relating to a property where a Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measure is implemented.

(a)Seller or one or more of its Affiliates (other than the Company), as applicable, will be responsible for and retain all Liabilities of the Business to the extent arising out of claims made before or after the Closing Date for (i) workers’ compensation (“Workers’ Compensation Claim”), or (ii) bodily injury or property damage to the extent arising out of vehicle accidents (“Auto Claim”), in each case, to the extent the underlying incident that is the cause of such Workers’ Compensation Claim or Auto Claim occurred prior to the Closing Date. From the date hereof through the Closing Date, the Seller (x) shall, and shall cause its third-party administrator to, manage, settle, reserve, and otherwise handle all Auto Claims and Workers’ Compensation Claims consistent with Seller’s practices prior to the date of the Most Recent Balance Sheet.

(b)Buyer will be responsible for all Liabilities of the Business arising out of Workers’ Compensation Claims and Auto Claims, in each case, to the extent the underlying incident that is the cause of such Workers’ Compensation Claim or Auto Claim occurs on or after the Closing Date.

(c)Following the Closing, with respect to (i) any vehicle of the Business subject to a litigation hold as of the Closing arising out of or relating to an Auto Claim, or (ii) any vehicle of the Business that becomes subject to a litigation hold following the Closing arising out of or relating to an Auto Claim (to the extent the underlying incident that is the cause of the Auto Claim occurred prior to the Closing Date), Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company) to, maintain each such litigation hold until Seller provides written notice to Buyer that a litigation hold on a vehicle can be released; it being understood that Seller will reasonably promptly notify Buyer in writing following the collective determination by Seller’s applicable claims administrator and defense counsel that any such litigation hold on a vehicle may be released.

. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, the Confidentiality Agreement will (i) survive the Closing in accordance with its terms with respect to “Confidential Information” (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) as it relates to Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company) and is not related to the Business; and (ii) terminate as of the Closing with respect to “Confidential Information” (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) related to the Business.

. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a resignation and release from each director of the Company effective as of the Closing, but, for the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of any such resignation or release will not be a condition to the Closing.

(a)For employees of Seller and its Affiliates (including the Company) immediately prior to the Closing who become employees of the Company immediately following the Closing (“Transferring Employees”) that are eligible to participate in the UPS Pension Plan (the “UPS Pension Plan”) immediately prior to the Closing Date, the UPS Pension Plan will credit eligible future service at Buyer to count towards vesting eligibility (only) under the UPS Pension Plan (in accordance with the UPS Pension Plan’s terms) (the “Vesting Service”). Only future service actually completed by each Transferring Employee at Buyer shall be counted for this purpose and any deemed, imputed or similar service that may be provided by Buyer or under Buyer’s tax qualified defined benefit plan to any Transferring Employee shall be disregarded under the UPS Pension Plan in all events. For the avoidance of doubt, the accrued benefit calculation under the UPS Pension Plan for each Transferring Employee shall only include eligible service with the Seller and its Affiliates (as applicable) until the Closing Date (in accordance with the UPS Pension Plan’s terms). If a Transferring Employee is terminated before such Transferring Employee meets the required Vesting Service such Transferring Employee shall be considered unvested under the UPS Pension Plan. If a Transferring Employee is terminated after such Transferring Employee meets the required Vesting Service such Transferring Employee shall be considered vested in the UPS Pension Plan, and Seller and its Affiliates will provide the related benefits at their cost. In order to implement the requirements of this Section 5.27(a) timely and appropriately, the Buyer

shall provide Seller a regular census update report at such intervals or at such time(s), and in such form, as may reasonably be requested by Seller from time to time, that includes information as to whether each Transferring Employee remains eligible for the Buyer’s tax qualified defined benefit pension plan and the hours each Transferring Employee worked for Buyer in the applicable period(s) while eligible for Buyer’s tax qualified defined benefit pension plan. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.27(a) to the contrary, the Seller reserves the right to amend or terminate the UPS Pension Plan at any time in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.

(b)For each Transferring Employee, the UPS Pension Plan will credit eligible service at Buyer for purposes of determining eligibility (only) for active participant early retirement factors under the UPS Pension Plan (in accordance with the UPS Pension Plan’s terms) (“Early Retirement Service”). Only future service actually completed by each Transferring Employee at Buyer shall be credited for this purpose and any deemed, imputed or similar service that may be provided by Buyer or under Buyer’s tax qualified defined benefit plan to any Transferring Employee shall be disregarded under the UPS Pension Plan in all events. For the avoidance of doubt, the accrued benefit calculation under the UPS Pension Plan for each Transferring Employee shall only reflect eligible service with the Seller and its Affiliates (as applicable) until the Closing Date (in accordance with the UPS Pension Plan’s terms). If a Transferring Employee is terminated or otherwise becomes ineligible for the Buyer’s tax qualified defined benefit pension plan before such Transferring Employee meets the required Early Retirement Service, such Transferring Employee shall be considered as a terminated participant under the UPS Pension Plan for purposes of determining the applicable early retirement factors. If a Transferring Employee is terminated or otherwise becomes ineligible for the Buyer’s tax qualified defined benefit pension plan after such Transferring Employee meets the required Early Retirement Service, such Transferring Employee shall not be considered as a terminated participant under the UPS Pension Plan for purposes of determining the applicable early retirement factors. If a Transferring Employee elects to receive such Transferring Employee’s benefits (if any) under the UPS Pension Plan, the eligibility status for early retirement subsidies at the time of that election shall apply when determining the applicable early retirement factors, and Seller and its Affiliates will provide the related benefits at their cost. In order to implement the requirements of this Section 5.27(b)timely and appropriately, the Buyer shall provide to Seller a regular census update report at such intervals or at such time(s), and in such form, as may reasonably be requested by Seller from time to time, that includes information as to whether each Transferring Employee remains eligible for the Buyer’s tax qualified defined benefit pension plan and the hours each Transferring Employee worked for Buyer in the applicable period(s) while eligible for Buyer’s tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.27(b) to the contrary, the Seller reserves the right to amend or terminate the UPS Pension Plan at any time in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.

Notwithstanding the failure of any one or more of the foregoing conditions in this Article VI, Seller may proceed with the Closing without satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any one or more of such conditions and without written waiver. To the extent any such condition fails to be satisfied, and Seller nevertheless proceeds with the Closing, Seller shall not be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies it may have against Buyer or any of its Affiliates by reason of the failure of any such condition, including any right or remedy Seller may have under Section 8.2(b) hereof. Seller may not rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article VI to be satisfied if such failure was caused by Seller’s failure to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as required hereby.

. The obligations of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are further subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver by it) at or prior to the Closing of the following conditions:

(i)The Fundamental Representations (in each case, without regard to any qualification therein as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect) shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing as if made at and as of the Closing (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific

Notwithstanding the failure of any one or more of the foregoing conditions in this Article VI, Buyer may proceed with the Closing without satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any one or more of such conditions and without written waiver. To the extent any such condition fails to be satisfied, and Buyer nevertheless proceeds with the Closing, Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies it may have against Seller or any of its Affiliates by reason of the failure of any such condition, including any right or remedy Buyer may have under Section 8.1(b) hereof. Buyer may not rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article VI to be satisfied if such failure was caused by Buyer’s failure to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as required hereby.

. This Agreement may be terminated at any time at or prior to the Closing (the “Termination Date”):

(b)by written notice from Buyer to Seller if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement made by Seller in this Agreement, or any such representation and warranty shall have become untrue or inaccurate after the date of this Agreement, in each case which breach, untruth or inaccuracy (i) would result in Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b) not being satisfied as of the Closing Date (a “Terminating Seller Breach”), and (ii) shall not have been cured prior to the last Business Day prior to the Outside Date (such notice to describe such Terminating Seller Breach in reasonable detail), or which breach, untruth or inaccuracy, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date; provided, that Buyer is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations under this Agreement, which breach would give rise to a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b);

(c)by written notice from Seller to Buyer if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement made by Buyer in this Agreement, or any such representation and warranty shall have become untrue or inaccurate after the date of this Agreement, in each case which breach, untruth or inaccuracy (i) would result in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) not being satisfied as of the Closing Date (a “Terminating Buyer Breach”), and (ii) shall not have been cured prior to the last Business Day prior to the Outside Date (such notice to describe such Terminating Buyer Breach in reasonable detail), or which breach, untruth or inaccuracy, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date; provided, that Seller is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations under this Agreement, which breach would give rise to a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b);

(d)by written notice by Buyer or Seller if the condition set forth in Section 6.1(a) is not satisfied and the Law or Order giving rise to such non-satisfaction shall have become final and non-appealable; and

(e)by written notice by Buyer or Seller if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days from the date hereof (as extended pursuant to this Section 7.1(e), the “Outside Date”) for any reason other than delay or nonperformance of the Party seeking such termination; provided, however, that the Outside Date will automatically be extended to the day immediately following the end of the applicable thirty (30)-day period in the event either Buyer or Seller delivers written notice to such other Party pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(c), respectively, not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Outside Date and such Terminating Seller Breach or Terminating Buyer Breach, as the case may be, is curable.

. In the event of the termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given by the Party so terminating to the other Parties, and this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by any Party. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1:

(a)each Party shall destroy all documents, work papers and other materials of the other Party relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether obtained before or after the execution hereof, and deliver notice to the Party seeking destruction of such documents that

such destruction has been completed (provided that a Party shall be entitled to retain one copy of such documents, work papers and other materials in its legal department in accordance with the requirements of its document retention policies, and no Party shall be required to destroy or delete information contained in “back-up” or archived electronic form in the Ordinary Course, and all confidential information received or so retained by any Party with respect to the other Parties shall be treated in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 5.1(b));

(b)all filings, applications and other submissions made pursuant hereto shall, at the option of Seller, and to the extent practicable, be withdrawn from the agency or other Person to which made; and

(c)notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, there shall be no Liability hereunder on the part of any of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or representatives, except that (i) if the basis of termination is a willful breach by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, of one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, then the breaching Party shall be liable to the non-breaching Party and the non-breaching Party will be entitled to specific performance, including to complete the contemplated transactions, and (ii) the obligations provided for in this Section 7.2 and Section 5.1(b) (Access to Information) Section 5.3 (Public Announcements), Section 9.1 (Fees and Expenses), Section 9.2 (Notices), Section 9.3 (Severability), Section 9.8 (Consent to Jurisdiction), Section 9.9 (Waiver of Jury Trial) and Section 9.10 (Governing Law) hereof and in the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any such termination.

. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of any and all Losses arising out of:

(b)any breach of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by Seller in this Agreement which, by its terms, is to be completed prior to or as of the Closing;

(c)any breach of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by Seller in this Agreement which, by its terms, requires performance in whole or in part after the Closing;

(d)(i) any Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes, which will be subject to Section 5.6(f)) of the Company with respect to any Tax period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (or for the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date determined in accordance with Section 5.6(d)); (ii) the unpaid Taxes of any Person under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of Law) that are imposed on the Company by reason of having been a member of an affiliated, combined, consolidated, unitary or similar group on or before the Closing Date; and (iii) the unpaid Taxes of any Person for which the Company is liable as a transferee or successor, by contract (other than a contract entered into in the Ordinary Course the primary purpose of which is unrelated to Taxes), or otherwise, which Taxes relate to an event

or transaction occurring before the Closing; provided that, such Taxes described in clauses (i) through (iii) above shall not include any Taxes that (x) were reflected as a liability on the Final Closing Statement, (y) are attributable to the breach of any covenant of Buyer under Section 5.6, or (z) are attributable to any action taken by or on behalf of the Company on the Closing Date after the Closing;

(f)any Liability for Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 5.23(d); or

(g)any breach of the Real Estate Representation with respect to the Commitment Delivery Real Property, in each case limited only to the representation that the Company, Seller or its Affiliate, as applicable, has good and valid fee simple title in and to such property and, for the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification under this clause (g) does not pertain to any encumbrances on title or other Liens, or whether the same are or are not Permitted Liens.

The Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties described in this Section 8.1 as to which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification from Seller are collectively referred to as “Buyer Losses”.

. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Seller Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of any and all Losses arising out of:

(b)any breach of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by Buyer in this Agreement;

(d)the ownership or operation of the Company, the Business or the Transferred Assets and Liabilities from and after the Closing, including any Actions that are Company Specified Matters, in each case, other than Losses to the extent arising out of (i) Seller’s responsibility with respect to Section 5.23 Matters or Post-Closing Environmental Remediation Measures to the extent contemplated by Section 5.23(d), (ii) any Liabilities for which Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company) are liable as a matter of law, (iii) other Excluded Liabilities, or (iv) matters for which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof.

The Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties described in this Section 8.2 as to which the Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification are collectively referred to as “Seller Losses”.

(a)Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice by a third party of a threatened or filed Action or the threatened or actual commencement of any Action with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to receive payment from the other Party for any

Loss, such Indemnified Party shall provide written notification to Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, whoever is the appropriate indemnifying Party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) within ten (10) days of the Indemnified Party’s notice of threatening or filing of such Action or of the notice of the threatened or actual commencement of such Action (such notice shall specify the basis for such claim); provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from Liability under this Agreement with respect to such claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Party results in (i) the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or (ii) prejudice to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days thereafter, to assume the defense of such Action, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. If the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of the Action on the terms provided above within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnified Party may employ counsel to represent or defend it in any such Action, and the Indemnifying Party will pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel as incurred; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single Action. In any Action with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such Action, shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such Party’s own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, reasonably apprised of the status of any matter the defense of which it is maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter.

(b)No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c)The Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless (x) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its officers, directors, managers, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of such claim, (y) does not contain any admission of any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party and (z) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Affiliates.

(d)If an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement not involving a third-party claim covered by Section 8.3(a), such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the appropriate Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify the basis for such claim. As promptly as possible after the Indemnified Party has given such notice, such Indemnified Party and the appropriate Indemnifying Party shall establish the merits and amount of such claim (by mutual agreement, arbitration, litigation or otherwise) and, within five (5)

Business Days of the final determination of the merits and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party immediately available funds in an amount equal to such claim as determined hereunder, if any.

. The Claims Period hereunder shall begin on the date hereof and terminate as follows:

(a)with respect to Buyer Losses arising under (i) Section 8.1(a), the Claims Period shall survive the Closing until the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing; (ii) Section 8.1(b), the Claims Period shall survive until the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing, (iii) Section 8.1(c), the Claims Period shall survive for the applicable term of such covenant, agreement or undertaking or until completed; (iii) Section 8.1(d), Section 8.1(e), or Section 8.1(f), the Claims Period shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; and (iv) Section 8.1(g), the Claims Period as to each property until the date sixty (60) days after the delivery of a title commitment or other indicia of good and valid fee simple title in and to such property.

(b)with respect to Seller Losses arising under (i) Section 8.2(a), the Claims Period will survive the Closing until the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing; (ii) Section 8.2(b), with respect to covenants, agreements or undertakings made by Buyer that by their terms are to be completed prior to or as of the Closing, the Claims Period shall survive until the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing, and with respect to covenants, agreements or undertakings made by Buyer that by their terms cannot be completed prior to or as of the Closing, the Claims Period shall survive for the applicable term of such covenant, agreement or undertaking or until completed; and (iii) Section 8.2(c) and Section 8.2(d), the Claims Period shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(c)No claim for indemnification can be made after the expiration of the Claims Period; provided, however, if prior to the close of business on the last day of the Claims Period, an Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Seller’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless shall be limited as follows:

(a)in no event shall Seller’s total aggregate liability for any and all Buyer Losses exceed the Base Purchase Price;

(b)for purposes of computing the aggregate amount of claims against Seller, the amount of each claim by a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be deemed to be an amount equal to, and any payments by Seller pursuant to Section 8.1 shall be limited to, the amount of Losses that remain after deducting therefrom (i) any third party insurance proceeds (including pursuant to Section 5.16) and any indemnity, contributions or other similar payment actually received from any third party with respect thereto; and (ii) any net Tax benefit recognized by a Buyer Indemnified

Party or any Affiliate thereof with respect to the Losses giving rise to such claim for indemnification, to the extent such benefit is recognized in the taxable year in which the relevant Losses were incurred or the immediately succeeding taxable year;

(c)the amount of indemnity payable pursuant to Section 8.1 with respect to any Loss shall be reduced to the extent necessary to prevent duplication of any adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price reflected on the Final Closing Statement;

(d)in any case where a Buyer Indemnified Party recovers from third Persons any amount in respect of a matter with respect to which Seller has indemnified it pursuant to this Agreement, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to Seller the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid by Seller to or on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of such matter, and (ii) any amount expended by Seller in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter;

(e)any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law; and

(f)for purposes of determining both the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct and calculating Losses hereunder, any qualifications in the representations and warranties herein as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or words of similar import shall be disregarded.

(a)The Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1 in the following order: (i) first, for applicable Buyer Losses, the Buyer Indemnified Parties will use reasonable best efforts to pursue a claim under the R&W Policy and any applicable title insurance policy prior to seeking indemnification directly against Seller; and (ii) second, for Buyer Losses not covered by the R&W Policy or any applicable title insurance policy or if the Buyer Indemnified Parties are unable to recover all of such Buyer Losses under the R&W Policy or any applicable title insurance policy, the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to seek indemnification directly from Seller pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII and subject to Section 8.5 and the other limitations set forth herein and under applicable Law. To the extent Buyer Losses (for clarity, only resulting from those matters for which Seller is providing indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1) are recoverable under the R&W Policy, Seller will be responsible for the portion of such Buyer Losses attributable to the retention under the R&W Policy; provided, however, that Seller will not be responsible for any portion of the retention for which Buyer has already asserted claims or made payments in respect of matters covered by the R&W Policy for which Seller is not providing indemnification under Section 8.1.

(b)Except in the case of Fraud, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (i) in no event will Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party have any recourse against Seller or any of its Affiliates arising out of or related to breaches or inaccuracies of any representations or warranties that are not Fundamental Representations or (as provided above) the Real Estate Representation; and (ii) the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be responsible for all retention amounts under the R&W Policy

in respect of Losses resulting from breaches or inaccuracies of the representations or warranties that are not Fundamental Representations until the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have borne Buyer Losses in excess of the retention under the R&W Policy, in which case the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification for breaches or inaccuracies of the representations or warranties that are not Fundamental Representations or (as provided above) the Real Estate Representation from the R&W Policy only.

. Except for matters relating to Fraud, matters to be determined by the Independent Accountant, matters arising under or related to the Ancillary Agreements, and matters addressed by Section 9.12 and Section 9.19, the provisions of this Article VIII set forth the exclusive rights and remedies of the Parties to seek or obtain damages or any other remedy or relief whatsoever from any Party with respect to matters arising under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. In no event will any matter arising under or related to any Contract between Seller and its Affiliates (after the Closing excluding the Company), on the one hand, and Buyer and its Affiliates (after the Closing including the Company) on the other hand, other than this Agreement, the Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the Share Transfer Agreement, be deemed to be “arising under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby” within the meaning of the immediately preceding sentence unless such Contract specifies in writing that remedies thereunder are limited in accordance with this Section 8.7.

. Except as expressly provided herein, (a) Buyer shall pay its own fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the fees, costs and expenses of its financial advisors, accountants and counsel, and (b) Seller shall pay the fees, costs and expenses incurred by Seller and its Affiliates and, to the extent incurred prior to the Closing, the Company, in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the fees, costs and expenses of Seller’s and, to the extent incurred prior to the Closing, the Company’s financial advisors, accountants and counsel. Buyer and Seller will each pay fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the premium for the R&W Policy; provided, however, if the premium for the R&W Policy is in excess of $3,000,000, Seller will only be responsible for paying $1,500,000 of such premium, and Buyer will pay for the remainder of such premium in excess of $1,500,000. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall have any right under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to offset any amounts owed (or to become due or owing) to the other Party or its applicable Affiliate(s), whether under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, against any other amount owed (or to become due or owing) to it by the other Party or its applicable Affiliate(s).

. All notices, requests, demands, waivers and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by any of the following methods: (a) personal delivery; (b) UPS Next Day Air or UPS Express Critical; or (c) email transmission. Notices shall be sent to the appropriate Party at its address

given below (or at such other address for such Party as shall be specified by notice given hereunder):

All such notices, requests, demands, waivers and communications shall be deemed received upon (i) actual receipt thereof by the addressee, (ii) actual delivery thereof to the appropriate address or (iii) refusal of the addressee to accept delivery thereof.

. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good

faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, directly or indirectly, including by operation of Law, by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that Buyer may, without the consent of Seller, assign the right to acquire all or part of the Shares and the Transferred Assets and Liabilities to one or more direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Buyer or Guarantor, but Buyer shall not be relieved of any of its Liabilities under this Agreement.

. This Agreement is exclusively for the benefit of Seller, and its successors and permitted assigns, with respect to the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement, and for the benefit of Buyer, and its respective successors and permitted assigns, with respect to the obligations of Seller, under this Agreement, and this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer upon or give to any other third party any remedy, claim, Liability, reimbursement, Action or other right, except as provided in Section 9.11.

. The Article and Section headings contained in this Agreement are exclusively for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the Parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto), the Confidentiality Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

. Each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that any Legal Dispute shall be brought only in the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware or the federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and each Party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Legal Dispute and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Legal Dispute in any such court or that any such Legal Dispute that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. During the period a Legal Dispute that is filed in accordance with this Section 9.8 is pending before a court, all Actions with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute, including any counterclaim, cross claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court. Each Party hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any Legal Dispute, that (a) such Party is not subject thereto, (b) such Legal Dispute may not be brought or is not maintainable in such court, (c) such Party’s property is exempt or immune from execution, (d) such Legal Dispute is brought in an inconvenient forum or (e) the venue of Legal Dispute is improper. A final judgment in any Legal Dispute described in this Section 9.8 following the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be

conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Laws.

. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof) as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.

(a)Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that King & Spalding LLP (“K&S”) has acted as counsel to each of the Company and Seller in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer hereby consents and agrees to, and agrees to cause the Company to consent and agree to, K&S representing Seller and any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) after the Closing, including with respect to disputes in which the interests of the Seller Parties may be directly adverse to Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Company), and even though K&S may have represented the Business in a matter substantially related to any such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for the Business. Buyer further consents and agrees to, and agrees to cause the Company to consent and agree to, the communication by K&S to the Seller Parties in connection with any such representation of any fact known to K&S arising by reason of K&S’s prior representation of the Company. In connection with the foregoing, Buyer hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause the Company to irrevocably waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with (i) K&S’s prior representation of the Company or the Business and (ii) K&S’s representation of the Seller Parties prior to and after the Closing. Buyer represents that Buyer’s attorney has explained and helped Buyer evaluate the implications and risks of waiving the right to assert a future conflict against K&S, and Buyer’s consent with respect to this waiver is fully informed.

(b)Buyer further agrees, on behalf of itself and, after the Closing, on behalf of the Company, that all communications subject to any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or other similar protection for the benefit of the Seller Parties, in any form or format whatsoever between or among K&S, on one hand, and the Company, the Business or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or other representatives, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any dispute arising under this Agreement (collectively, the “Privileged Deal Communications”) shall be deemed to be retained and owned collectively by the Seller Parties, shall be controlled by Seller on behalf of the Seller Parties and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or the Company.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a dispute arises between Buyer or the Company, on the one hand, and a third party other than Seller, on the other hand, Buyer or the Company may assert the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or other similar protection for the benefit of the Seller Parties to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Deal Communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor the Company may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Buyer or the Company is legally required by any Order or otherwise to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Deal Communications following the Closing, Buyer shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify Seller in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section 9.11) so that Seller can seek a protective order and Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, at the Seller Parties’ expense, to assist therewith.

(d)With respect to Privileged Deal Communications contained in files or other materials maintained by K&S that constitute property of its clients, only the Seller Parties shall hold property rights with respect to the Privileged Deal Communications materials and K&S shall have no duty to reveal or disclose any Privileged Deal Communications contained in such files or other materials or any other Privileged Deal Communications by reason of any attorney-client relationship between K&S, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand.

(e)Buyer agrees that it will not, and that it will cause the Company not to, use any Privileged Deal Communications against the Seller Parties in connection with any dispute between Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer and the Company, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f)This Section 9.11 is for the benefit of K&S and K&S is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 9.11. This Section 9.11 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 9.11 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of K&S.

. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy and accordingly the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy.

. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by email transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of the Agreement.

. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time only by written agreement of the Parties.

. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule referenced by a particular Section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other Section in this Agreement to the extent reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure.

The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedules is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

. Seller and Buyer each hereby waive compliance by Seller with the provisions of the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” or similar Laws of any state or any jurisdiction outside the U.S.

. This Agreement has been, and the Ancillary Agreements will be, prepared in the English language. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between the English language version of such documents and any translation thereof made for any purpose, the English language version will govern the interpretation and construction of such documents, and for any and all other purposes, except as may be required by applicable Law. In the event that any of the terms of this Agreement conflict with any of the terms of the Ancillary Agreements, the terms of this Agreement will prevail. All matters relating to the transfer of the Transferred Assets and Liabilities from Seller, on the one hand, to Buyer, on the other hand, that are not expressly regulated under the relevant Ancillary Agreements, are deemed to be regulated by this Agreement.

(a)Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as principal obligor, and not merely as surety, to Seller or a Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, and their successors and permitted assigns (each, a “Guaranteed Party”), the due and punctual performance, payment and discharge of all of Buyer’s representations and warranties, covenants, agreements, indemnities, obligations, liabilities and undertakings pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the payment of the Closing Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.7(b), any amounts payable by Buyer following the determination of the Final Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.8(d), and the due and punctual payment of Seller Losses payable by Buyer pursuant to Article VIII when due thereunder, in each case, subject to the limitations on Buyer’s obligations contained in this Agreement and any limitations set forth in this Section 9.19 (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). All payments by Guarantor under this Section 9.19 will be made in immediately available funds. The foregoing obligation of Guarantor constitutes a continuing guaranty of payment and performance, and not of collection, and is and will be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, including circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. The obligations of Guarantor under this Section 9.19 are independent of (but not greater than) the obligations of Buyer and will be enforceable without any of the Guaranteed Parties having to proceed first against Buyer or any collateral or security or other property held by Buyer before proceeding against Guarantor, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Buyer or whether Buyer is joined in any such

action or actions and irrespective of any dispute between Buyer and any other person with respect to the existence of any breach under this Agreement. The obligations of Guarantor pursuant to this Section 9.19 will remain in full force and effect and will be binding on Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns until the performance and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations.

(b)Guarantor hereby expressly waives (i) notice of the acceptance by the Guaranteed Parties of the guarantee set forth in this Section 9.19; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, payment, or performance of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor or protest, and all other notices with respect to the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any right to direct or affect the manner or timing of the Guaranteed Parties’ enforcement of their respective rights and remedies; and (v) an assertion or claim that any stay provided under any debtor relief law of any jurisdiction, now or hereafter in effect, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Guaranteed Parties to enforce any of their respective rights against Guarantor. Seller agrees to give Guarantor notice of the nonpayment or nonperformance of the Guaranteed Obligations provided that no failure to give such notice will constitute a waiver of the nonpayment or nonperformance.

(c)Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Guaranteed Party for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by each Guaranteed Party in connection with the enforcement of the guarantee set forth in this Section 9.19.

(d)Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Seller that: (i) Guarantor has the requisite entity power and authority and has taken all entity action necessary to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Guarantor and the performance by it of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized and approved by Guarantor’s appropriate governing body; (iii) no other entity action on the part of Guarantor, and no consent of Guarantor’s stockholders or other equity holders, is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Guarantor; and (iv) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by general equitable principles or by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws and judicial decisions from time to time in effect, which affect creditors’ rights generally.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties, Parent, and Guarantor have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first above written.
