If an Objection Notice is delivered to the Purchaser, then the Purchaser and the Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their disagreements with respect to the computation of the Closing Cash Proceeds or Closing Working Capital, as applicable. The Purchaser and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that all discussions related to the Objection Notice are, without prejudice, communications made in confidence with the intent of attempting to resolve a litigious dispute and are subject to settlement privilege. In the event that the Purchaser and the Representative are unable to resolve all such disagreements within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser's receipt of such Objection Notice or such longer period as the Purchaser and the Representative may mutually agree in writing, the Purchaser and the Representative shall submit such remaining disagreements to Deloitte, or, if such firm refuses or is otherwise unable to act in such capacity, a nationally-recognized valuation or consulting firm as is acceptable to the Purchaser and the Representative (the "Firm").
(e)    The Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, and make a final and binding determination with respect to the Purchaser's and the Company's compliance with this Section 2.04 and the computation of the Closing Cash Proceeds, including each of the components thereof, and Closing Working Capital to the extent such amounts are in dispute, in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement and on Exhibit E. The Purchaser and the Representative shall cooperate with the Firm during the term of its engagement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Firm to resolve all remaining disagreements with respect to the computation of the Closing Cash Proceeds, including each of the components thereof, and Closing Working Capital as soon as practicable. The Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in the Purchaser's and the Representative's respective calculations of the Closing Cash Proceeds, including each of the components thereof, and Closing Working Capital that are in the Objection Notice and identified as being items and amounts to which the Purchaser and the Representative have been unable to agree. In resolving any disputed item, the Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greater value for such item claimed by either party in its Initial Report (as defined on Exhibit E) which may not be greater than the corresponding amount in the Closing Statement or Objection Notice, as applicable, or less than the smaller value for such item claimed by either Person in its Initial Report (as defined on Exhibit E) which may not be less than the corresponding amount in the Closing Statement or Objection Notice, as applicable. Except as permitted on Exhibit E hereto in order to clarify or understand any position or argument made by a party in a written submission, the Firm's determination of the Closing Cash Proceeds, including each
17


of the components thereof, and Closing Working Capital shall be based solely on written presentations submitted by the Purchaser and the Representative which are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures (including the definitions of each of the components thereof) set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The determination of the Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and shall not be subject to appeal or further review.
(f)    The costs and expenses of the Firm in determining the Closing Cash Proceeds, including each of the components thereof, and Closing Working Capital shall be borne by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Representative, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if the Purchaser claims the Closing Cash Proceeds or Closing Working Capital are, in the aggregate, one thousand dollars ($1,000) less than the amount determined by the Representative, and the Representative contests only five hundred dollars ($500) of the amount claimed by the Purchaser, and if the Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Purchaser three hundred dollars ($300) of the five hundred dollars ($500) contested, then the costs and expenses of the Firm will be allocated sixty percent (60%) (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to the Representative and forty percent (40%) (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to the Purchaser. Prior to the Firm's determination of the Closing Cash Proceeds and Closing Working Capital, (i) the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), on the other hand, shall retain the Firm and each pay fifty percent (50%) of any retainer paid to the Firm, and (ii) during the engagement of the Firm, the Firm will bill fifty percent (50%) of the total charges to each of the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), on the other hand. In connection with the Firm's determination of the Closing Cash Proceeds and Closing Working Capital, the Firm shall also determine, pursuant to the terms of the first and second sentences of this Section 2.04(f), and taking into account all fees, costs and expenses of the Firm already paid by each of the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Representative, on the other hand, as of the date of such determination, the allocation of the Firm's fees, costs and expenses between the Purchaser and the Representative, which such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.
(g)    Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Cash Proceeds, including each of the components thereof, and Closing Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.04:
(i)    if the Closing Cash Proceeds as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.04 are less than the Estimated Closing Cash Proceeds, then the Purchaser and the Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to pay to the Purchaser from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds an amount (which in no case shall exceed the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds) (the "Purchaser Adjustment Amount") equal to such deficiency;
(ii)    if the Closing Cash Proceeds as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.04 are greater than the Estimated Closing Cash Proceeds (the total amount of such excess, the "Seller Adjustment Amount"), then the Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid (1) to the Representative, for the benefit of and for further distribution to each Seller, each such Seller's Pro Rata Share in respect of such Seller's Common Units of the Seller Adjustment Amount, and (2) to the Company, for the benefit of and for further distribution to each Optionholder and Phantom Award Recipient through the payroll processing system of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the Company's payroll processes and procedures, an aggregate amount equal to (x) each such Optionholder's Pro Rata Share in respect of such Optionholder's Options and (y) each such Phantom Award Recipient's Pro Rata Share in respect of such Phantom Award Recipient's Phantom Units, in each case, of the Seller Adjustment Amount;

(iv)    if the Closing Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.04 is greater than the Closing Working Capital Maximum (the total amount of such excess, the "Working Capital Seller Adjustment Amount"), then the Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid (1) to the Representative, for the benefit of and for further distribution to each Seller, each such Seller's Pro Rata Share in respect of such Seller's Common Units of an amount equal to the Working Capital Seller Adjustment Amount, and (2) to the Company, for the benefit of and for further distribution to each Optionholder and Phantom Award Recipient through the payroll processing system of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the Company's payroll processes and procedures, an aggregate amount equal to (x) each such Optionholder's Pro Rata Share in respect of such Optionholder's Options and (y) each such Phantom Award Recipient's Pro Rata Share in respect of such Phantom Award Recipient's Phantom Units, in each case, of the amount equal to the Working Capital Seller Adjustment Amount;
(v)    if after taking into account the adjustments required by Section 2.04(g)(i) through Section 2.04(g)(iv) there are any remaining Purchase Price Escrow Funds, then the Purchaser and the Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to pay (A) to the Representative, for the benefit of and for further distribution to each Seller, each such Seller's Pro Rata Share in respect of such Seller's Common Units of such remaining Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds, and (B) to the Company, for the benefit of and for further distribution to each Optionholder and Phantom Award Recipient through the payroll processing system of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the Company's payroll processes and procedures, an aggregate amount equal to (x) each such Optionholder's Pro Rata Share in respect of such Optionholder's Options and (y) each such Phantom Award Recipient's Pro Rata Share in respect of such Phantom Award Recipient's Phantom Units, in each case, of such remaining Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds; and
(vi)    in no event shall either (A) the sum of the Purchaser Adjustment Amount and the Working Capital Purchaser Adjustment Amount exceed the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds, or (B) the sum of the Seller Adjustment Amount or the Working Capital Seller Adjustment Amount exceed the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds.
(h)    All payments to be made pursuant to Section 2.04(g) shall (x) be treated by all parties for tax purposes as adjustments to the Enterprise Value and (y) be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Purchaser or the Representative, as applicable.

(b)    by the Purchaser, on the one hand, or by the Company or the Representative, on the other hand, by written notice to the other, upon the issuance by any Governmental Body of an order, decree or ruling or its taking of any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which order, decree, ruling or any other action shall have become final and non-appealable and which renders the condition set forth in Section 3.03(a) incapable of being satisfied; provided, that no termination may be made under this Section 9.01(b) by a party if the issuance of such order, decree, ruling or such other action has been primarily caused by the action or inaction of such party;
(c)    by the Purchaser, on the one hand, or by the Company or the Representative, on the other hand, by written notice to the other, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the date 90 days from the date hereof (the "Outside Date"); provided, however, that no termination may be made under this Section 9.01(c) by a party if the failure to close shall have been caused by the action or inaction of such party;
(d)    by the Purchaser, if the Purchaser is not then in material breach of this Agreement, by written notice to the Company, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Sellers or the Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty contained in Article IV or Article V shall be or have become untrue, in either case, such that any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.01(a) or Section 3.01(b) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that, if such breach is curable through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts and for so long as the Company or Sellers, as applicable, continues to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts, the Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(d) prior to the earlier of (i) thirty (30) Business Days after providing written notice of such breach to Company and (ii) the Outside Date; or
52


(e)    by the Company or the Representative, if the Company, the Representative and Sellers, as applicable, are not then in material breach of this Agreement, by written notice to the Purchaser, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Purchaser shall be or have become untrue, in either case, such that any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02(a) or Section 3.02(b) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that, if such breach (other than breach or failure to consummate the Closing when required pursuant to Section 2.02) is curable by the Purchaser through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts and for so long as the Purchaser continues to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts, the Company and the Representative may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(e) prior to the earlier of (i) thirty (30) Business Days after providing written notice of such breach to Purchaser and (ii) the Outside Date.
9.02    Effect of Termination.

For purposes of clarification, the parties hereto agree that if the Purchaser does not close the transactions contemplated hereby in circumstances in which all of the closing conditions set forth in Article III have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that, by their terms, are to be satisfied at the Closing), such failure or refusal to close shall be deemed to be a willful breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser. In determining losses or damages recoverable upon termination by a party hereto for another party's breach, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that such losses and damages shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs, and shall include the benefit of the bargain lost by such party hereto, taking into consideration all relevant matters.

53


Purchaser and its Non-Recourse Parties hereby expressly and irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that he, she or it has not relied and will not rely on any other representations, warranties or statements (including by omission), and (iii) none of the Purchaser or any of its Non-Recourse Parties shall have any claim with respect to their purported use of, or reliance on, any such representations, warranties or statements (including by omission) on any basis or legal theory whatsoever (whether sounding in contract or tort, at law or in equity, on public policy grounds, under any Law (including under securities Laws or the Racketeer Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act of 1970 ("RICO")), on the basis of "unjust enrichment" or otherwise). The Purchaser is otherwise acquiring the Company, its Subsidiaries, its joint ventures and their respective businesses on an "AS IS, WHERE IS" basis. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make projections, forward looking statements and other forecasts and estimates, and certain business plan information, that the Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties, and that, subject to the representations and warranties of the Sellers and the Company expressly and specifically set forth in Article IV and Article V, respectively, and any representations and warranties specifically set forth in an Ancillary Document, the Purchaser and its Non-Recourse Parties are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of any such projections, forward looking statements, forecasts, estimates and business plan information provided to (or otherwise acquired by) the Purchaser and its Non-Recourse Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such projections, forward looking statements, forecasts, estimates and business plan information). Under no circumstances shall any of the representations and warranties of the Company or the Sellers made herein be imputed to, or deemed to have been made by, any other Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Representative (other than those representations and warranties the Representative makes in its capacity as a Seller and not in its role as the Representative)).

The Purchaser will cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to provide each such Retained Employee who remains employed with at least the same base wages, annual base salary and annual rate of cash bonus potential (determined as a percentage of annual base salary) (but excluding any equity plan program or arrangement) provided to each such employee on the Closing Date for a period of at least one (1) year following the Closing Date; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.03(a) shall obligate the Purchaser or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to continue the employment of any such Retained Employee for any specific period.

For a period of at least one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to provide, each Retained Employee with all benefits (other than any equity-based compensation) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate than the benefits provided to such Retained Employee immediately prior to the Closing.
54

The Purchaser (i) shall give, or cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to give, each Retained Employee credit under all benefit plan or personnel policies that cover the Retained Employee after the Closing, including any vacation, sick leave and severance policies, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and entitlement to vacation, sick leave and severance benefits for the Retained Employee's service with the Company and its Affiliates prior to the Closing, to the same extent recognized by the Company or its Subsidiaries or any predecessor thereof as of the Closing Date, (ii) shall allow such Retained Employees to participate in each plan providing welfare benefits (including medical, life insurance, long-term disability insurance and long-term care insurance) without regard to preexisting condition limitations, waiting periods, evidence of insurability or other exclusions or limitations not imposed on the Retained Employee by the corresponding Plans immediately prior to the Closing, and (iii) if coverage for Retained Employees under any Welfare Plan is terminated prior to the end of the plan year that includes the Closing Date, shall credit the Retained Employee with any expenses that were covered by such Welfare Plan(s) for purposes of determining deductibles, co-pays and other applicable limits under any similar replacement plans.
(d)    Vacation Pay and Personal Holidays.

10.04    Seller's Release.
(a)    Each Seller, on behalf of itself and such Seller's controlling and controlled Affiliates (each, a "Releasor"), hereby release and forever discharge the Company and its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Non-Recourse Parties in their capacities as such (each, a "Releasee") from any and all claims, demands, Proceedings, causes of action, Contracts, Losses and Liabilities whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and all consequences thereof, at Law or in equity, which a Seller or other Releasor now has, has ever had or may hereafter have against any Releasee arising contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing in their capacity as an equityholder of the Company or otherwise with respect to their investment in the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, "Released Claims"); provided, however, that nothing contained herein will
55


operate to release, and the Released Claims will not include, any claims, demands, Proceedings, causes of action, Contracts, Losses or Liabilities whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees) or any consequences thereof, at Law or in equity, (i) arising under this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, (ii) for indemnification or exculpation (or under related insurance) in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (iii) available to any Seller under an employment agreement with the Company or its Subsidiaries or for any compensation and benefits earned in the Ordinary Course of Business and unpaid as of the Closing Date (the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), each, an "Excluded Claim"). Each Seller, on behalf of itself and such Seller's other Releasors, agrees that this release shall act as a release of all Released Claims, whether such Released Claims are currently known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, contingent or absolute, asserted or unasserted, and each Seller, on behalf of itself and such Seller's other Releasors, intentionally and specifically waives any statute or rule which may prohibit the release of future rights or a release with respect to unknown claims. The Releasees are intended third-party beneficiaries of this release, and this release may be enforced by each of them in accordance with the terms hereof in respect of the rights granted to such Releasees hereunder. If any provision of this release is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this release will remain in full force and effect.
(b)    Each Seller, on behalf of itself and on behalf of such Seller's other Releasors, irrevocably covenants that it will not, directly or indirectly, sue, commence any Proceeding against, or make any demand upon any Releasee in respect of any of the matters released pursuant to Section 10.04(a); provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.04(b) shall not prohibit the right to sue, commence any Proceeding against or make any demand upon a Releasee if such action is based upon, or for, an Excluded Claim.
(c)    Other than with respect to the Excluded Claims, the release provided for in Section 10.04(a) may be pleaded by any of the Releasees as a full and complete defense and may be used as the basis for an injunction against any action at law or equity instituted or maintained against any of them in violation hereof. If any Released Claim is brought or maintained by any Seller or any other Releasor against any Releasee in violation of the release contemplated by Section 10.04(a), such Seller or Releasor will be responsible for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the Releasee in defending such Released Claim.
(d)    In providing the release contemplated by Section 10.04(a), each Seller does so with full knowledge of any and all rights that such Seller may have with respect to such release, that each Seller has received independent legal advice with respect to such release and with respect to the rights and asserted rights arising out of such release, and that each Seller is providing such release of such Seller's own free will.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Purchaser hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Representative, the Sellers, the Optionholders, and each of their respective Non-Recourse Parties, whether in any individual, corporate or any other capacity, from and against any and all other rights, claims and causes of action it may have against the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Representative, the Sellers, the Optionholders or their respective Non-Recourse Parties relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including relating to any exhibit, Schedule or document delivered hereunder), regardless of the legal theory under which right, claim or cause of action may arise (whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, on public policy grounds, under any Law (including under securities Laws or RICO), on the basis of "unjust enrichment" or otherwise) and including any rights to rescission of the transactions contemplated hereby, other than claims for breach of any agreement or covenant herein surviving, and requiring performance at or after, the Closing to the extent provided in Section 11.01 or the provisions of the Escrow Agreement. The limits imposed on the Purchaser's and its Non-Recourse Parties' remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including this Section 11.02 and the limitations set forth in Section 11.03 and Annex I) were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Sellers and the Optionholders hereunder.

If the Company is permitted, but not required, under applicable non-U.S., state or local income Tax Laws to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, such day shall be treated as the last day of a taxable period. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, or payroll of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period; provided, however, that any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (such as real or personal property, other ad valorem Taxes or deductions for depreciation) shall be apportioned on a daily basis.
12.02    Transfer Taxes. At the Closing or, if due thereafter, promptly when due, all gross receipts, transfer Taxes, gains Taxes, real property transfer Taxes, sales Taxes, use Taxes, excise Taxes, stamp Taxes, conveyance Taxes and any other similar Taxes applicable to, arising out of or imposed upon the transactions contemplated hereunder, and expenses incurred for the preparation and filing of Tax Returns related to such amounts ("Transfer Taxes") shall be paid by the Purchaser, and 50% of such amount shall constitute a Transaction Expense. The Purchaser shall prepare and timely file any related Tax Return or other document with respect to such Transfer Taxes and the parties shall cooperate in the preparation of such Tax Returns.
12.03    Post-Closing Actions. Purchaser and its Affiliates (including on or after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall not, unless otherwise required pursuant to a "determination" within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code, (a) amend a Tax Return of the Company or its Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (b) extend or waive the applicable statute of limitations with respect to a Tax of the Company or its Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (c) file any ruling or request with any taxing authority that relates to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or its Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (d) make any Tax election with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries (including an election under Section 336 or 338 of the Code or any similar provision of foreign, state or local law) that relates to, or is retroactive to, a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in the case of each of the preceding clauses (a) through (d), if any such action could reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the Sellers (including, for the avoidance of
58


doubt, any impact on the calculation of the Closing Cash Proceeds, or Transaction Tax Deductions), in each case, without the prior written consent of the Representative, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
12.04    No Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter. The Purchaser shall not take any action or cause any action to be taken with respect to the Company subsequent to the Closing that would cause the transactions contemplated hereby to constitute part of a transaction that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the "Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter" described in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2001-16, 2001 1 C.B. 730, and Internal Revenue Service Notice 2008-20 I.R.B. 2008 6 (January 17, 2008), and Internal Revenue Service Notice 2008-111 I.R.B. 1299 (December 1, 2008).
12.05    Assistance and Cooperation. Purchaser and the Representative shall: (i) assist the other party or parties, as the case may be, in preparing any Tax Returns that such other party or parties, as the case may be, is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with Section 12.01, (ii) cooperate fully in responding to any inquiries from or preparing for any audits of, or any disputes with a Governmental Body regarding, any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and (iii) make available to the other party or parties, as the case may be, as reasonably requested, all information in its possession relating to any Tax matters of the Company and its Subsidiaries that may be relevant to any Tax Return, audit or examination, proceeding or determination, as reasonably requested by Purchaser or the Representative, including all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the Ordinary Course of Business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules, or exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the parties hereto as to whether any obligation, item or matter not set forth or included in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules, or exhibits is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the Ordinary Course of Business for purposes of this Agreement. In addition, matters

Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. The Disclosure Schedules have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separate sections corresponding to the sections of in Article IV and Article V; provided, that information disclosed on one section of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be disclosed on another section of the Disclosure Schedules or be deemed to be an exception to another representation and warranty in Article IV or Article V, in each case, if the relevance of such information to such other section of the Disclosure Schedules is reasonably apparent on its face. Capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The information contained in this Agreement, in the Disclosure Schedules, and exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law or breach of contract).

In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises with respect to this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the execution version of this Agreement will control and prior drafts of this Agreement and the documents referenced herein will not be considered or analyzed for any purpose (including in support of parol evidence proffered by any Person in connection with this Agreement) and will be deemed not to provide any evidence as to the meaning of the provisions hereof or the intent of the parties hereto.

Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an "Electronic Delivery") shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto, each other party hereto or to any signed agreement or instrument
62


entered into in connection with this Agreement, or any amendments hereto or thereto, shall re-execute the original form of this Agreement, or the applicable signed agreement, instrument or amendment, and deliver such form to all other parties hereto or thereto.

ANY AND ALL ACTIONS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR STATUTE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, INCLUDING ITS STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN), WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW RULES OR PROVISIONS (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.
13.12    Arbitration; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a)    Except for disputes, controversies or claims arising under Section 2.04 (which will be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth therein), for other claims seeking injunctive relief (for which the provisions of Section 13.19 will be applicable) or as otherwise explicitly set forth in an Ancillary Document, all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise), including the arbitrability of any dispute or controversy that cannot be settled by mutual agreement will be finally settled by binding arbitration appointed in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures ("JAMS") and this Section 13.12. Any party hereto aggrieved will deliver a notice to the other party setting forth the specific points in dispute. Any points remaining in dispute twenty (20) days after the giving of such notice may, upon ten (10) days' notice to the other party, be submitted to JAMS arbitration conducted before a panel of three (3) arbitrators in New York, New York (provided, that if the arbitrators determine in their reasonable discretion that an arbitration cannot be conducted in-person in such location due to COVID-19 Measures or otherwise without jeopardizing the health and safety of the parties or the arbitrators, then the arbitration may be conducted either in an alternative location or via telephonic or video conference, as determined by the arbitrators in their reasonable discretion). The Purchaser and the Representative will each appoint one (1) arbitrator (the "Party-Appointed Arbitrators") and the Party-Appointed Arbitrators will appoint the third and presiding arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator; provided, that, any arbitrator not timely appointed herein will be appointed in accordance with the JAMS upon the written demand of any party to the dispute. The arbitrators may enter a default decision against any party that fails to participate in the arbitration proceedings.
(b)    The decision of the arbitrators on the points in dispute will be final, unappealable and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrators will only be authorized to interpret the provisions of this Agreement, and will not amend, change or add to any such provisions. The parties hereto agree that this provision has been adopted by the parties to rapidly and
63


inexpensively resolve any disputes between them and that this provision will be grounds for dismissal of any court action commenced by any party with respect to this Agreement (other than disputes, controversies or claims arising under Section 2.04 (which will be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth therein) or other claims seeking injunctive relief (for which the provisions of Section 13.19 will be applicable)). In the event that any court determines that this arbitration procedure is not binding, or otherwise allows any litigation regarding a dispute, claim, or controversy covered by this Agreement to proceed, the parties hereto hereby waive any and all right to a trial by jury in or with respect to such litigation.
(c)    The parties hereto and the arbitrators will keep confidential, and will not disclose to any person, except the parties' advisors and legal representatives, or as may be required by law, the existence of any controversy under this Section 13.12, the referral of any such controversy to arbitration or the status or resolution thereof.
(d)    The parties hereto may seek any interim or conservatory relief, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that if such court does not have jurisdiction over any such action or Proceeding, such action or Proceeding will be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware state or federal court sitting in the City of Wilmington, Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. The application of a party to an above-mentioned judicial authority for such measures or for the implementation of any such measures ordered by an arbitral tribunal will not be deemed to be an infringement or a waiver of this Section 13.12 and will not affect the relevant powers reserved to the arbitral tribunal.
(e)    Each party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process by registered mail or personal service.
(f)    EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, ANY SEEKING EQUITABLE RELIEF).
13.13    Prevailing Party. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.04, in any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any dispute arbitrated under Section 13.12), any of the exhibits or schedules hereto, or any agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby, or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the applicable adjudicating body shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the dispute and the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, any of the exhibits or schedules hereto, or any agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby and, if the adjudicating body determines a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the adjudicating body may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the adjudication and the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, any of the exhibits or schedules hereto, or any agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby or thereby.

Any and all amounts paid or incurred by the Representative and its Non-Recourse Parties in connection with any claim, action, suit or Proceeding to which the Representative or such other Person is made a party by reason of the fact that it is or was acting as the Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are on behalf of
65


the Sellers, Optionholders and Phantom Award Recipients, as applicable (and, not for the avoidance, on behalf of the Representative in any other capacity, as a Seller or otherwise).
(c)    Neither the Representative nor any of its Non-Recourse Parties shall incur any Liability to any Seller, Optionholder or Phantom Award Recipient by virtue of the failure or refusal of the Representative or any of its Non-Recourse Parties for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to the performance of their duties hereunder. The Representative and its Non-Recourse Parties shall have no Liability in respect of any action, claim or Proceeding brought against any such Person by any Seller, Optionholder or Phantom Award Recipient, regardless of the legal theory under which such Liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, if any such Person took or omitted taking any action in good faith.
(d)    If the Representative pays or causes to be paid any amounts (on behalf of the Sellers, Optionholders or Phantom Award Recipients) in connection with any obligation or Liability of a Seller, Optionholder or Phantom Award Recipient in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the adjustment of the Closing Cash Proceeds contemplated by Section 2.04 or the indemnification provided pursuant to Section 11.03 and Annex I), any such payments and the reasonable expenses of the Representative incurred in administering or defending the underlying dispute or claim may be reimbursed, when and as incurred, from the Representative Holdback Amount (and, if not so reimbursed from the Representative Holdback Amount, the Representative shall be indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed by each Seller, Optionholder and Phantom Award Recipient severally (based on the relative portion of proceeds received by each Seller, Optionholder and Phantom Award Recipient hereunder), and not jointly for such amount(s)). The Representative may, in its sole and absolute discretion, distribute, or caused to be distributed, any or all of the funds received or held by it on behalf of the Sellers, Optionholders or Phantom Award Recipients to one or more Sellers, Optionholders or Phantom Award Recipients at any time after the Closing Date, which such distribution(s) of funds may be different (i.e., with respect to amount, timing, conditionality or otherwise) for each Seller, Optionholder or Phantom Award Recipient. Upon full reimbursement of all expenses, costs, obligations or liabilities incurred by the Representative in the performance of its duties hereunder, the Representative shall distribute, or caused to be distributed, all remaining funds held by it on behalf of the Sellers, Optionholders or Phantom Award Recipients to the Sellers, Optionholders or Phantom Award Recipients, as applicable.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Representative and its Affiliates shall not be liable to any Seller, Optionholder or Phantom Award Recipient for any action taken or not taken by the Representative or for any act or omission taken or not taken in reliance upon the actions taken or not taken or decisions, communications or writings made, given or executed by the Purchaser.
(f)    All references to the "Representative" herein mean such Person in its capacity as representative of the Sellers, Optionholders and Phantom Award Recipients and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in any other capacity, as a Seller or otherwise.
(g)    Except as may have been expressly and specifically agreed to in writing by a Seller, Optionholder or Phantom Award Recipient, on the one hand, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP ("K&E LLP"), on the other hand, and except for the Representative, Sun Capital Partners, Inc. and their respective Affiliates (i) K&E LLP has not and is not representing, and shall not be deemed to have represented any Seller, Optionholder or Phantom Award Recipient in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) K&E LLP has not and is not providing any advice or counsel (including legal advice or counsel), and shall not be deemed to have provided counsel or advice, to any Seller, Optionholder or Phantom Award Recipient in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(h)    Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Company and its Subsidiaries following the Closing) have the right to rely, without independent investigation upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Representative pursuant to this Agreement, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Sellers, Optionholders and Phantom Award Recipients. Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall be fully protected in dealing with the Representative under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and may rely upon the authority of the Representative to act on behalf of the Sellers, Optionholders and Phantom Award Recipients. Any payment by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) to the Representative to the extent authorized under and in compliance with this Agreement shall be considered a payment by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) to the Sellers, Optionholders or Phantom Award Recipients, as applicable, and Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall have no Liability to any Seller, Optionholder or Phantom Award Recipient for any payments so made.
13.15    Legal Representation. Following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company's and its Subsidiaries' current and former legal counsel (including K&E LLP and Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg LLP) (each, "Company Counsel") may serve as counsel to each and any of the Representative, the Sellers and their respective Non-Recourse Parties, in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding such representation or any continued representation of any other Person (including the Representative and its Affiliates), and each of the parties hereto (on behalf of itself and each of its Non-Recourse Parties) consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom. The decision to represent any of the Representative, the Sellers and their respective Non-Recourse Parties shall be solely that of any such Company Counsel. Any attorney-client privilege, work product protection or expectation of confidentiality arising out of or as a result of any Company Counsel's representing of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any matter relating in any way to the Representative and its Affiliates or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the "Privileges") shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Company Document, the Privileges and all information, data, documents or communications, in any format and by whomever possessed, covered by or subject to any of the Privileges (collectively, "Privileged Materials") shall, from and after the Closing, automatically be assigned and exclusively belong to, and be controlled by, the Representative. For the avoidance of doubt, as to any Privileged Materials, the Purchaser and the Company, together with any of their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns, agree that no such party may use or rely on any of the Privileged Materials in any action or claim against or involving any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Non-Recourse Parties after the Closing, and the Representative and its Affiliates shall have the right to assert any of the Privileges against the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Purchaser further agrees that, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Company), any Company Counsel's retention by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed completed and terminated without any further action by any Person effective as of the Closing. The Company shall cause each of its future direct and indirect Subsidiaries and its and their successors and assigns that are not signatories to this Agreement to fulfill and comply with the terms of this Section 13.15 and take any and all other steps necessary to effect the agreements in this Section 13.15. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth herein, in the event that a dispute (including with respect to this Agreement or any of the
67


Ancillary Documents) arises between the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Company and its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and a third party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Governmental Body) other than a Seller or their respective Non-Recourse Parties, on the other hand, the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Company and its Subsidiaries), as applicable, may assert the attorney-client privilege with respect to Privileged Materials to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party and such Privileged Materials shall be deemed to belong, and be controlled by, the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) for such limited purpose.
13.16    Non-Recourse Parties. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, the parties to this Agreement agree that no Non-Recourse Party of a party to this Agreement shall have any Liability relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein except to the extent agreed to in writing by such Non-Recourse Party.
13.17    Deliveries to the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that all documents or other items uploaded and made available in the online "data room" established by CapLinked for "Project Sapphire" on or before the date that is one (1) Business Day prior to the date hereof shall be deemed to have been delivered, provided or made available to the Purchaser or its representatives for all purposes hereunder.
13.18    Conflict Between Transaction Documents. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that to the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby, this Agreement shall govern and control.
13.19    Specific Performance.
(a)    The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Therefore, it is accordingly agreed that each party shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of any other party, in any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief shall be granted in connection therewith. Any party seeking an injunction, a decree or order of specific performance shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection therewith and any such remedy shall be in addition and not in substitution for any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.
(b)    If, before the Outside Date, any party hereto brings any action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party, then the Outside Date will automatically be extended (i) for the period during which such action is pending and until such action has been finally resolved by a non-appealable ruling by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the terms hereof, plus ten (10) Business Days, or (ii) by such greater time period established by the court or arbitrator presiding over such action, as the case may be.
13.20    Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute the parties hereto as joint venturers, alter egos, partners or participants in an unincorporated business or other separate entity, nor, except as expressly and specifically set forth in Section 13.14, in any manner create any principal-agent, fiduciary or other special relationship between the parties hereto. No party shall have any duties (including fiduciary duties) towards any other party hereto except as specifically set forth herein.
