Article II

THE SALE

2.1   The Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”), Sellers shall transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from Sellers, all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Interests (the “Sale”) free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens.

2.2   Purchase Price. In consideration for the Transferred Interests, at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller Parent or its designee an aggregate of $161,500,000 in cash (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.6 through Section 2.7.

2.3   USVI Payments.

(a)     In addition to the Purchase Price, if the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall pay to Seller Parent or its designee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as is specified in writing by Seller Parent to Purchaser, an amount equal to the excess of (x) the sum of (I) 80% of the amount of any such USVI Revenues, net of any Tax payable after the Closing Date by any Transferred Entity in connection with the receipt of any USVI Revenues (except to the extent of any such Taxes taken into account in the calculation of the Closing Adjustment or Adjustment Amount), (II) 100% of any Taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, withholding Taxes) that are attributable to the receipt of the USVI Revenues and taken into account in the calculation of the Closing Adjustment or Adjustment Amount, and (III) 80% of the amount (such amount a “Tax Refund”) of any refund or credit, including any reduction in any future Taxes that would otherwise be withheld, of any Taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, withholding Taxes) attributable to the receipt of the USVI Revenues (net of any out-of-pocket costs or Taxes attributable to such refund, credit or reduction), in each case collected, received or realized by any Transferred Entity on or prior to the four (4) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “USVI End Date”) over (y) 80% of the amount of USVI Subcontractor Payables paid or payable in connection with the collection of such USVI Revenues (each such excess amount, a “Purchaser USVI Payable”). Purchaser shall make any payments required by the foregoing sentence on the last business day of every calendar month after the Closing Date, provided that, if at any time the aggregate amount of owed but unpaid USVI Payables exceeds $500,000.00 (five hundred thousand dollars), Purchaser shall pay all such collected and unpaid amounts within five (5) Business Days. Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Transferred Entitles to, cooperate with Seller Parent to make all filings and take all actions necessary to secure any Tax Refund as promptly as possible.

(b)     If, at the time when any payment is required by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.3(a), (i) Purchaser has complied with its obligations pursuant to Section 2.3(f)(ii) and (ii), the payment of any Purchaser USVI Payable to Seller Parent or its designee in accordance with Section 2.3(a) would cause Purchaser Cash to fall below the Minimum Cash Amount, then at such time Purchaser will pay the portion of such Purchaser USVI Payable such that the Purchaser Cash remaining after such payment would equal the Minimum Cash Amount. Purchaser shall pay any unpaid portion of Purchaser USVI Payables as soon as there is sufficient Purchaser Cash such that the remaining Purchaser Cash after such payment is equal to or greater than the Minimum Cash Amount.

-11-

(c)        For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Purchaser shall pay each Purchaser USVI Payable to Seller Parent or its designee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, irrespective of any other Purchaser USVI Payable being, having been or becoming due and payable hereunder and (ii) Purchaser’s obligation to pay each Purchaser USVI Payable to Seller Parent or its designee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is a separate and independent obligation.

(d)        Purchaser USVI Payables shall not be subject to set off, counterclaim, clawback or recapture rights. All Purchaser USVI Payables paid by Purchaser hereunder will be treated by the Parties for all purposes as additional consideration for the purchase and sale of the Transferred Interests except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(e)        If Purchaser fails to promptly pay any Purchaser USVI Payable pursuant to this Section 2.3, Purchaser shall also pay any reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by Sellers or their Affiliates in connection with any legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment for such amount against Purchaser. Any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Section 2.3(e) shall bear interest from the date such amount is due until the date paid at a rate equal to 2% plus the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition in effect on the date of such Payment.

(f)        As promptly as practicable but no later than ten (10) Business Days following the end of each fiscal quarter until the date that all USVI Revenue that may be payable from or in connection with the USVI Contract have been paid, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller Parent a statement (the “USVI Revenue Statement”) setting forth the amount of (A) USVI Revenues received during such fiscal quarter together with reasonable supporting documentation, including copies of checks and remittance slips, (B) all outstanding USVI Receivables not yet received and USVI Subcontractor Payables not yet paid, and (C) Cash as of the last day of each calendar month of such fiscal quarter. Seller Parent and its accountants shall be provided with reasonable access to the books and records of the Transferred Entities and Purchaser and any other supporting documentation that Seller Parent may reasonably request relevant to the determination of USVI Revenues for the applicable fiscal quarter, together with reasonable access to the Representatives of the Transferred Entities and Purchaser that assisted with the preparation of the USVI Revenue Statement, in each case upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours.

(g)        Following the Closing:

     (i)        until the earlier of (x) the date that all USVI Revenue that may be payable from or in connection with the USVI Contract have been paid and (y) the USVI End Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) to, use their best efforts to collect any and all USVI Revenue that may be payable from or in connection with the USVI Contract; and

     (ii)        until all amounts payable pursuant by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.3 have been paid in full, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (A) to use their respective best efforts to maintain Purchaser Cash at all times in an amount that is not less than the Minimum Cash Amount, (B) not to declare, set aside or pay any cash distributions or dividends, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of the capital stock or other equity interests of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries, or make any other payments of any nature to their respective direct or indirect equity holders if there are any owed but unpaid Purchaser USVI Payables or such distribution, dividend, repurchase or other payments could otherwise result in Purchaser Cash at any time failing to exceed the Minimum Cash Amount or (C) not to take, directly or indirectly, any action that could impair or limit the amount of USVI Revenue paid or collected or to seek to avoid, obstruct or circumvent its obligations under this Section 2.3.

Without limitation to the foregoing, Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller Parent in connection with efforts to collect USVI Revenue by permitting Seller Parent and its Representatives to participate in the collection of USVI Revenues (including by providing Seller Parent copies of all correspondence received from any Governmental Entity or other recipient of services under the USVI Contract or any subcontractors of the Transferred Entities or any other Person with respect to the USVI Contract, and allowing Representatives of Seller Parent to participate in all discussions, telephone calls and meetings with any of the foregoing Persons).

   (b)        Seller Parent shall notify Purchaser in writing within thirty (30) days following Seller Parent’s receipt of the Initial Post-Closing Adjustment Statement (the “Review Period”) if Seller Parent objects to any matter set forth in the Initial Post-Closing Adjustment Statement, which notice shall describe the basis for such objection (the “Notice of Disagreement”); provided that Seller Parent and Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed upon all items and amounts that are not so disputed by Seller Parent in the Notice of Disagreement.

   (c)        During the thirty (30) days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement (the “Resolution Period”), Seller Parent and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters properly specified in the Notice of Disagreement. All such discussions related thereto shall be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule and evidence of such discussions shall not be admissible or used by any Party in any future proceedings between the Parties, including before the Independent Accounting Firm.

   (d)        Dispute Resolution.

(i)        If, at the end of the Resolution Period, Seller Parent and Purchaser have been unable to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall submit all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Notice of Disagreement (along with a copy of the Initial Post-Closing Adjustment Statement marked to indicate those line items that are not in dispute) to the New York office of a nationally recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller Parent (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The Independent Accounting Firm shall be instructed to make, within thirty (30) days after the later of (x) the expiration of the Resolution Period or (y) the Independent Accounting Firm’s selection pursuant to the preceding sentence, a final determination in accordance with this Agreement, binding on the Parties, of the appropriate amount of each of the line items in the Initial Post-Closing Adjustment Statement which remain in dispute as indicated in the Notice of Disagreement which Seller Parent and Purchaser have submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm, and to promptly notify the Parties in writing of its determination. With respect to each amount in dispute, the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Seller Parent or Purchaser, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Seller Parent in the Notice of Disagreement or by Purchaser in the Initial Post-Closing Adjustment Statement with respect to such disputed amount. Seller Parent or Purchaser will also instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to make a final determination of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash, and Transaction Expenses based solely on written materials submitted by Seller Parent or Purchaser and in accordance with this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review) and acting only as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

-14-

(ii)        During the review by the Independent Accounting Firm, Purchaser, Sellers and Seller Parent will each provide the Independent Accounting Firm with such access to their respective books, records, accountants, audit work papers and relevant employees as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.5; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 2.5 shall require Seller, Seller Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates to disclose any attorneys-client privileged information to the extent that disclosure thereof might result in the loss of attorney-client privilege.

(iii)        The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be borne by Seller Parent, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the aggregate contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by such party. For example, if Seller Parent claims the Adjustment Amount is $1,000 less than the amount determined by Purchaser, and Purchaser contests only $500 of the amount claimed by Seller Parent, and if the Independent Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Seller Parent $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to Purchaser and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to Seller Parent. In connection with its determination of the Adjustment Amount, the Independent Accounting Firm will, pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.5(d)(iii), also determine the allocation of its fees and expenses between Seller Parent and Purchaser, which such determination will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

(e)        The statement of the Adjustment Amount that is final and binding on the Parties, as determined either through agreement of the Parties pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or Section 2.5(c) or through the action of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.5(d), is referred to as the “Final Post-Closing Adjustment Statement”, and the Adjustment Amount set forth therein as the “Final Adjustment Amount”.

2.7        Post-Closing Adjustment. The “Post-Closing Adjustment” shall be equal to (i) the Final Adjustment Amount less (ii) the Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive amount, then Purchaser shall pay in cash to Seller Parent (or one or more Affiliates designated by Seller Parent) the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative amount, then Seller Parent (or an Affiliate designated by Seller Parent), on behalf of Sellers, shall pay in cash to Purchaser the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment. Any such payment shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Statement becomes due.

It shall not be deemed a failure to satisfy the conditions specified in Section 8.1(a) if, as a result of any suit brought by any Person or Governmental Entity challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violating any Antitrust Law, a court enters or the applicable Governmental Entity makes an order or decree permitting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but requiring that any of Subject Assets be divested or held separate by Purchaser, or that would otherwise limit Purchaser’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to operate and retain, the Subject Assets.

(d)            Without limiting any other obligation under this Agreement, during the period from the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, none of Purchaser nor Sellers shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates to not, take or agree to take any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the Parties from obtaining any Governmental Approval in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or to prevent or materially delay or impede the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.

(e)            Purchaser agrees to provide such security and assurances as to its financial capability, resources and creditworthiness (substantially similar in nature to those provided by Sellers to such parties prior to Closing) as may be reasonably requested by any Governmental Entity or other third party whose consent or approval is sought in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.16          Non-Compete.

(a)            Each of the Sellers and Seller Parent acknowledges that in consideration of the Purchase Price and as an inducement to Purchaser to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Sellers and Seller Parent agrees on their own behalf that for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, they will not, directly or by assisting others (i) own, manage, operate, join, control, loan money to, serve as a manager or managing entity of, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any Competing Business anywhere in the Territory, regardless of the jurisdiction(s) where such Seller is physically located or (ii) market, sell, or otherwise provide, anywhere in the Territory, any products or services offered by the Business as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, each Seller and Seller Parent may own or hereafter acquire, directly or indirectly, up to five percent (5%) of any class of securities of any company that is a Competing Business so long as such Seller or Seller Parent holds such securities as a passive investment and does not take an active part in the management or direction of such company. For purposes hereof, “Territory” shall mean any state (within the United States) or foreign country where the Company is doing business as of the Closing Date. For purposes hereof, “Competing Business” means any consultancy practice providing services related to (i) building infrastructure and community resilience, (ii) integrated grants management and delivery, (iii) planning, training and exercises, (iv) regulatory compliance and support, (v) business process outsourcing and turnkey solutions, (vi) integrated technology solutions, (vii) policy and program design and implementation, (viii) response and emergency operations, (ix) contingency and continuity services, (x) logistics and supply chain management, (xi) public relations and crisis communications, (xii) strategic advisory services, (xiii) oversight and monitoring, (xiv) program and construction management, and (xv) technical assistance.

(b)            Sellers and Seller Parent hereby acknowledge and agree that the provisions set forth in this Section 5.16 are fair, reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Purchaser, and that this Section 5.16 was negotiated and bargained for and the consideration received by Sellers and Seller Parent reflects and assumes strict compliance with these provisions.

(c)            Sellers and Seller Parent hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) a breach of the provisions of this Section 5.16 would result in immediate, substantial and irreparable damage to Purchaser and (ii) such damage would be extremely difficult to measure in terms of monetary damages and no other remedy for such breach would be adequate. Therefore, upon such a breach, Purchaser will be entitled to seek specific performance of these provisions and injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)            Sellers and Seller Parent agree that if the scope of any restriction or covenant contained in this Section 5.16 should be or become too broad or extensive to permit enforcement thereof to its fullest extent, then such restriction or covenant shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and Sellers and Seller Parent hereby consent and agree that (i) it is the Parties’ intention that the covenants and restrictions contained herein be enforced as written and (ii) in the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any restriction or covenant contained herein is too broad or extensive to permit enforcement thereof to its fullest extent, the scope of any such restriction or covenant may be modified accordingly in any judicial proceeding brought to enforce such restriction or covenant, but should be modified to permit enforcement of the restrictions and covenants contained herein to the maximum extent the court, its judgment, will permit.

(e)            For the avoidance of doubt, the prohibitions in this Section 5.16 shall not apply to any direct or indirect parent company of Seller Parent.

5.17          Non-Solicitation. For a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, Sellers, Seller Parent and their respective controlled Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, through any method, (i) call on, solicit, recruit, interfere with, take away, induce or attempt to call on, solicit, recruit, interfere with, take away or induce, any customer, client, supplier or vendor of any Transferred Entity or any other Person to cease doing business with such Transferred Entity, (ii) call on, solicit, recruit, take away, induce or attempt to call on, solicit, recruit, take away or induce, any employee of any Transferred Entity to terminate such employee’s employment with such Transferred Entity, or (iii) call on, solicit, recruit, take away, induce or attempt to call on, solicit, recruit, take away or induce, any consultant or independent contractor doing business with or retained by any Transferred Entity to terminate their consultancy or contractual relationship with such Transferred Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Seller or Seller Parent will not be prohibited from (x) conducting general solicitations for employees or independent contractors (which solicitations are not specifically targeted to the employees of any Transferred Entity or the Transferred Entities collectively) through the use of media advertisements, professional search firms or otherwise, or (y) employing any Person who contacts such Seller or Seller Parent as a result of any general solicitation referred to in subsection (x) or on such Person’s own initiative and without direct or indirect solicitation by Sellers or Seller Parent.

(a)            The Parties mutually agree that the Transaction is not subject to a mandatory notification requirement under the CFIUS Regulations, and that, unless there is a CFIUS Request, the Parties have decided not to and will not submit a CFIUS Notice.

(b)            In the event either Party receives a CFIUS Inquiry prior to Closing, the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts and in good faith work together to review and respond to such CFIUS Inquiry.

The Parties shall consult, cooperate and keep each other reasonably informed regarding communications with, and requests for additional information from, CFIUS, and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to provide promptly all information that is required or requested by CFIUS with respect to the CFIUS Notice, including any request for any certification, additional information, documents or other materials (provided that either of the Parties may request an extension of any deadline imposed by CFIUS in accordance with applicable CFIUS Regulations). Any information provided by one Party to the other Party in connection with any CFIUS Notice may be redacted or provided on an outside-counsel only basis as necessary to comply with applicable Law or, as appropriate, to address legal privilege or reasonable confidentiality concerns. The Parties shall be responsible for respective costs including attorneys’ fees, and shall each be responsible for half of any fee associated with submission of the CFIUS Notice under Subpart K of Part 800 or Subpart K of Part 802 of the CFIUS Regulations, as appropriate. In the event CFIUS during the review of any CFIUS Notice submitted pursuant to this paragraph (c), requests or demands implementation of mitigation measures as a condition for clearing the Transaction, the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts and in good faith work mutually to implement such measures, however, Purchaser shall not be obliged to agree to any mitigation measure imposed by CFIUS that (i) materially affects the Purchaser’s ability to own and control the Transferred Entities, (ii) materially affects the commercial value of the Transferred Entities to the Purchaser, or (iii) would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Purchaser’s (1) business, (2) financial condition, (3) results of operations, or (4) ownership, control, or operation over its other businesses and assets.

(d)            In the event Purchaser receives a CFIUS Inquiry or a CFIUS Request after Closing, the Parties shall mutually agree to share evenly the cost of Purchaser’s responses to any such CFIUS Inquiry or CFIUS Request, including fees of legal counsel to prepare responses and any CFIUS Notice and any fee for submission of the CFIUS Notice under Subpart K of Part 800 or Subpart K of Part 802 of the CFIUS Regulations, as appropriate, provided that Seller’s share of the cost referred to above shall be limited to $75,000. Seller’s obligation under this Section 5.18(d) shall expire if a CFIUS Inquiry or CFIUS Request is not issued to Purchaser within twelve (12) months following the date of Closing,

5.19          Section 280G. As soon as reasonably practical after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) of the Company a waiver by such individual of any and all payments and benefits contingent on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) to the extent necessary so that such payments and benefits would not be “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) and (b) submit to its applicable securitityholders for a vote all such Waived 280G Benefits in a manner and form that is intended to comply with the equityholder approval procedures set forth in Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser), including A-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of the Treasury Regulations, to render the parachute payment provisions of Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (collectively, “Section 280G”) inapplicable to any and all payments and/or benefits provided that might result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any amount and/or the provision of any benefit that would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G or that would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (together, the “Section 280G Payments”). The Company agrees that: (i) in the absence of such stockholder approval, no Section 280G Payments shall be made; and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable after execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser (A) waivers, in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser, duly executed by each Person who might receive any Section 280G Payment, and (B) the parachute payment calculations prepared by the Company and/or its advisors. The form and substance of all stockholder approval documents contemplated by this Section 5.19, including the waivers, shall be subject to the prior review and comment of Purchaser. The Company shall provide such documentation and information to Purchaser for its review and comment no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to soliciting waivers from the “disqualified individuals,” and the Company shall implement all reasonable and timely comments from Purchaser thereon. The parties acknowledge that this Section 5.19 shall not apply to any arrangements entered into (or to be entered into) at the direction of Purchaser, on the one hand, and a disqualified individual, on the other hand (the “Purchaser Arrangements”), unless Purchaser provides to the Company, no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the prior to soliciting waivers from the “disqualified individuals,” sufficient information regarding any Parent Arrangements necessary to assess the value for purposes of Section 280G of the Code of such Parent Arrangements and to include, as necessary, such Parent Arrangements in any securityholder vote materials.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent permissible under applicable Law (determined based on at least a “more likely than not” level of comfort, as determined by the applicable tax return preparer), all Transaction Expenses shall be deducted in the Transferred Entities’ Pre-Closing Tax Period. With respect to any of the non-U.S. Transferred Entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with the prior written consent by Seller Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, it shall be deemed reasonable for Seller Parent to withhold its consent if such election would result in an increase to Sellers’ (or any of their Affiliates’) liability for Taxes pursuant to applicable Law or this Agreement upon a showing that such liability for Taxes would not have arisen but for such election determined on a “with and without” basis, taking into account that without such election, if such Transferred Entity is a CFC immediately before Closing, a Section 245A Election shall be made for such Transferred Entity in accordance with Section 7.10), Purchaser shall make, or cause to be made, an election under Section 338(g) of the Code in connection with the deemed acquisition of such non-U.S. Transferred Entity. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, Purchaser shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Transferred Entities to, do any of the following without the prior written consent of Seller Parent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed: (i) take any action on the Closing Date after the Closing other than in the ordinary course of business that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Tax liability of Sellers, (ii) amend any Tax Return of any Transferred Entity for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iii) file any Tax Return of any Transferred Entity for a Pre-Closing Tax Period other than one filed in accordance with past practice of the Transferred Entity.

7.2            Pass-Through Tax Returns Filed After the Closing Date. Seller Parent (or any Person or Persons it designates) shall be entitled to control the preparation and any amendment of IRS Form 1065 and the provision of IRS Forms K-1 and any other Tax Return of a Transferred Entity relating to taxable income of the Transferred Entities that is treated, for Tax purposes, as passed through to Sellers (such taxable income, “Pass-through Income” and such form a “Pass-through Tax Form”) to the extent such Pass-through Tax Form relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. The Company shall file or cause to be filed any such Tax Return and shall not amend any such Tax Return unless such amendment is requested by Seller Parent.

7.3            Pass-Through Tax Contests. Seller Parent or its designee shall be entitled to control, at its sole cost and expense, any audit, proceeding or contest pertaining to a Pass-through Tax Form or Taxes in respect of Pass-through Income of the Transferred Entities relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Pass-through Pre-Closing Tax Contest”). Purchaser and the Company agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to Seller Parent or its designee, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to the Transferred Entities’ books and records and access to the Transferred Entities’ accountants) and assistance relating to the Transferred Entities as is reasonably requested for the filing of any Pass-through Tax Form for a Pre-Closing Tax Period and the preparation, prosecution, defense or conduct of any Pass-through Pre-Closing Tax Contest over which Seller Parent has control pursuant to this Section 7.3, including providing any necessary powers of attorney. If Purchaser or any of the Transferred Entities becomes aware of any Pass-through Pre-Closing Tax Contest, it shall promptly notify Seller Parent. With respect to any Pass-through Pre-Closing Tax Contest of the Company governed by the Bipartisan Budget Act audit rules, if Section 6241(7) of the Code (and any similar provision of state or local Law) does not otherwise apply, Seller Parent shall, or shall cause its designee to, make an election pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code (and any similar provision of applicable Tax Law) so that Sellers, rather than the Company, are liable for any Taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, U.S. federal income taxes) owed with respect to such Pass-through Pre-Closing Tax Contest. The foregoing shall apply with respect to any similar provision of state or local law mutatis mutandis.

7.4            Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a)            Seller Parent, Sellers, Purchaser and the Transferred Entities shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Article VII and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each Party hereto shall (i) retain any books and records in its possession with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Transferred Entities relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by any party, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Entity and (ii) give the other Party hereto reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if so requested, allow the other Party hereto to take possession of such books and records.

(b)            Seller Parent, Sellers, Purchaser and the Transferred Entities further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

7.5            Transfer Taxes and Fees. All Transfer Taxes, whether imposed on Sellers, Purchaser or any of the Transferred Entities, shall be paid 50% by Sellers and 50% by Purchaser. Purchaser and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the purchase and sale of the Transferred Interests under this Agreement). Purchaser shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Transfer Taxes and, if required by applicable Law, Sellers shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns or other documentation.

-39-

7.6            Check-the-Box Election and Tax Treatment. Prior to the Closing, Seller Parent shall cause Seller 2 to elect under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3 to be classified as a “disregarded entity” for U.S. federal income Tax purposes effective as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Parties agree to treat and report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a sale by Seller 1 and a purchase by Purchaser of all of the assets of the Company. The Parties hereto further agree that (a) to the extent permissible for U.S. federal and applicable state, local and non-U.S. income tax purposes, the taxable year of the Transferred Entities shall close as of the end of the day on the Closing Date, and (b) any business conducted by the Transferred Entities after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Purchaser. The Parties hereto shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the immediately preceding sentence, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

7.7            Purchase Price Allocation. Within thirty (30) days following the final determination of the Purchase Price pursuant to Article II, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller Parent a schedule (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price (and all relevant liabilities of the Transferred Entities and other items) among the assets of the Transferred Entities in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder. If Seller Parent does not notify Purchaser in writing within twenty (20) days following Seller Parent’s receipt of the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule that Seller Parent objects to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding upon the parties. If within such twenty (20) day period Seller Parent so notifies Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller Parent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed matters, and if Purchaser and Seller Parent are able to resolve the disputed matters within twenty (20) days following Purchaser’s receipt of Seller Parent’s notice of objection, Purchaser and Seller Parent shall revise the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule to reflect such resolution, and the revised Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding upon the parties. If Purchaser and Seller Parent are unable to resolve all of the disputed matters within twenty (20) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Seller Parent’s notice of objection, Purchaser and Seller Parent shall promptly refer the dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination with respect to such disputed matters shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The Parties agree, for all income Tax purposes, to be bound by any final and binding Purchase Price Allocation Schedule established in accordance with this Section 7.7 (the “Final Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”), to report the transactions consistently with the Final Purchase Price Allocation Schedule and to not take any position during the course of any audit or other proceeding inconsistent with the Final Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, except in each case as otherwise required by a change in Law or pursuant to the good-faith resolution of a Tax contest. Any fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve a dispute in accordance with this Section 7.7 shall be borne 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Seller Parent.

7.8            Tax Treatment of Payments. Seller Parent, Sellers and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, treat any and all payments under Section 2.4 through Section 2.6 or this Article VII as an adjustment to the purchase price for Tax purposes except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law.

7.9            Straddle Periods. For the purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, (i) the amount of any Taxes of the Transferred Entities not addressed in clause (ii) for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date, and (ii) the amount of property or ad valorem Taxes of the Transferred Entities for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date 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.

7.10          245A Election. With respect to any Transferred Entity that is a CFC immediately before the Closing, except for any such Transferred Entity with respect to which a valid election under Section 338(g) of the Code has or will be made in accordance with Section 7.1, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall jointly make an election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.245A-5(e)(3)(i) to close the taxable year of such Transferred Entity as of the Closing Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “245A Election”) and shall cooperate with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate (including entering into any agreements and filing such additional forms, returns, or other documents as may be required) to effect and preserve each such 245A Election in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.245A-5(e)(3)(i) (or any comparable provisions of state or local tax law). The Purchaser and Seller Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, file all Tax Returns and any other filings in a manner consistent with any 245A Election.

(ii)           if the other Party shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its respective representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.2 (in the case of a breach by Sellers) or Section 8.3 (in the case of a breach by Purchaser), and (B) cannot be or has not been cured prior to the earlier of (1) the Business Day prior to the Outside Date or (2) the date that is thirty (30) days from the date that Purchaser or Sellers, as applicable, is notified by the other in writing of such breach or failure to perform; or

Article X

NON-SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AND CERTAIN COVENANTS

10.1            Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties and Certain Covenants.

(a)            Each of the representations and warranties and the covenants and agreements (to the extent such covenant or agreement contemplates or requires performance by a Party prior to the Closing) of the Parties set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or in any other document contemplated hereby, or in any certificate delivered hereunder or thereunder, will terminate effective immediately as of the Closing such that no claim for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, detrimental reliance or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought with respect thereto after the Closing, other than in respect of Fraud or Willful Breach.

(b)            Each covenant and agreement that explicitly contemplates performance at or after the Closing, will, in each case and to such extent, expressly survive the Closing in accordance with its terms, and if no term is specified, then for twenty (20) years following the Closing Date, and nothing in this Section 10.1 will be deemed to limit any rights or remedies of any Person for breach of any such surviving covenant or agreement (it being understood that nothing herein will limit or affect Purchaser’s or any of its Affiliates’ liability, for the failure to pay the full Purchase Price and to pay any other amounts payable by it or them at or prior to the Closing as and when required by this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Section 10.1 shall affect or otherwise limit any claim made or available under an R&W Insurance Policy.

Article XI

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1            Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties. The Parties agree that the delivery of this Agreement, and any other agreements and documents at the Closing, may be effected by means of an exchange of facsimile or electronically transmitted signatures.

11.2            Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)            This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed and to be performed wholly within such State and without reference to the choice-of-law or conflict of law principles (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction.

(b)            Each Party to this Agreement irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such Action may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action.

(c)            Each Party knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law trial by jury in any Action brought by any of them against the other in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any other agreements executed in connection herewith or the administration thereof or any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein. No Party to this Agreement shall seek a jury trial in any lawsuit, proceeding, counterclaim or any other litigation procedure based upon, or arising out of, this Agreement or any related instruments or the relationship between the Parties.

Each Party to this Agreement certifies that it has been induced to enter into this Agreement or instrument by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications set forth above in this Section 11.2. No Party has in any way agreed with or represented to any other Party that the provisions of this Section 11.2 will not be fully enforced in all instances.

11.6          Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Party to this Agreement will assign its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of each other Party to this Agreement. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 11.6 shall be void.

11.7          Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person not a party to this Agreement (and their successors and assigns) any rights or remedies hereunder.

11.8          Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by each of the Parties. Any Party to this Agreement may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by any other Party to this Agreement with any term or provision of this Agreement on the part of such other Party to this Agreement to be performed or complied with; provided, however, that Sellers may not grant any such waiver without the prior written consent of Seller Parent, and any such waiver granted without such consent shall be null and void and of no force and effect. The waiver by any Party to this Agreement of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

11.9          Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches by the Parties of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled in law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other Parties has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any Parties seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement hereby waives any requirement to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction. The foregoing is in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law, in equity or otherwise. The Parties further agree that nothing set forth in this Section 11.9 shall require any Party hereto to institute any Action for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any Action for) specific performance under this Section 11.9 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article IX (and pursuing damages after such termination).

11.11        Headings; Definitions. The section and article headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

11.12        Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement (or portions thereof) shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party hereto.

11.13        Legal Representation. Purchaser further agrees that, as to all communications between and among all counsel for Seller, Seller Parent, the Transferred Entities and/or their respective Affiliates (including Milbank LLP), and Seller, Seller Parent, the Transferred Entities and/or their respective Affiliates that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by or in connection with this Agreement (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”), the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence with respect to the Privileged Communications belongs to Seller and Seller Parent and may be controlled by Seller and Seller Parent and will not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Transferred Entities). The Privileged Communications are the property of Seller and Seller Parent, and from and after the Closing none of Purchaser, its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Transferred Entities), or any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Purchaser or such Affiliates will seek to obtain such Privileged Communications, whether by seeking a waiver of the attorney-client privilege or through other means. Purchaser, and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Transferred Entities) together with any of their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns further agree that no such party may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications in any Action against or involving any of Seller, Seller Parent or any of their respective Affiliates after the Closing. The Privileged Communications may be used by Seller, Seller Parent and/or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with any dispute that relates to the transactions contemplated by or in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of Privileged Communications by counsel to such third party, provided that neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Transferred Entities) may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller and Seller Parent.

11.14        Release. Effective as of Closing, Purchaser on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Transferred Entities) and each of their current and former stockholders, unitholders, members, limited and general partners, controlling persons, directors, officers, trustees, managers, representatives, agents and employees, does hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release and forever discharge the Seller Group, from any and all claims, causes of action, damages, actions, proceedings, suits, debts, judgments, sums of money, accounts, controversies, agreements, promises, injuries, harms, remedies, liens, liabilities and demands whatsoever, whether under federal, state or local law, statute or ordinance, law or in equity, arising out of, or relating to, or accruing from (a) the organization, management or operation of the Transferred Entities or their relationship with the Transferred Entities, in each case relating to any matter, occurrence, action or activity on or prior to Closing Date, (b) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty or the breach of any covenant, undertaking or other agreement contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement) or (c) any information, documents or materials furnished in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that nothing contained in this Agreement shall release, waiver, discharge, relinquish or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any Person (i) for claims involving Fraud or Willful Breach or (ii) with respect to claims against a Party to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement in regards to covenants or agreements contained herein or therein that by their terms contemplate performance following the Closing or otherwise expressly by their terms survive the Closing, to the extent of such survival in accordance with their terms.

11.15        Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no Person who or that is not a Party, including any past, present or future director, officer, agent, employee or other Representative of Seller or Seller Parent, any past, present or future member of Seller, Seller Parent or any Affiliate, successor or assignee thereof (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Parties”), in each case solely in such Person’s capacity as such, shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or such other Ancillary Agreement (as the case may be) or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or such other Ancillary Agreement (as the case may be) or the negotiation or execution hereof or thereof, and Purchaser hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against all such Non-Recourse Parties, in each case solely in such Person’s capacity as such. In addition, nothing in this Agreement (including this Section 11.15) shall limit the liability of any Person in the event of Fraud with respect to the making of any of the representations and warranties in Article III (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, as qualified by the Seller Disclosure Schedules), but in each such case if and only to the extent such Person had actual (as opposed to imputed or constructive) knowledge of such Fraud prior to the execution of this Agreement. Non-Recourse Parties are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this Section 11.15.
