If Seller has accepted the Post-Closing Statement in writing or has not given written notice to Purchaser setting forth any objection of Seller to such Post-Closing Statement, specifying in reasonable detail the nature and basis for such objection, Seller’s alternative calculation of each disputed item (together with reasonable supporting documentation to support Seller’s alternative calculation), and Seller’s proposed modifications to the Post-Closing Statement (such notice, the “Statement of Objections”) prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then such Post-Closing Statement shall be final and binding upon the parties, and shall be deemed the Final Closing Statement for purposes of Section 2.4(d).

(c)In the event that Seller delivers a Statement of Objections to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objection within thirty (30) days (or, if mutually agreed by the parties, such longer period) following the receipt by Purchaser of the Statement of Objections (the “Consultation Period”). If Seller and Purchaser reach an agreement in writing as to any such objections within the Consultation Period, the amounts so agreed upon shall be final and such agreement shall be deemed to be included in the Final Closing Statement for purposes of Section 2.4(d). If Seller and Purchaser are unable to reach an agreement in writing as to any such objections within the Consultation Period, then Seller and Purchaser shall jointly submit such matter to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC, or if Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC is unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, such other independent accounting firm of national reputation as shall be agreed upon in writing by Seller and Purchaser (the “Settlement Accountant”), for resolution of those items on the Statement of Objections that remain in dispute (the “Disputed Items”). The Settlement Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, and shall only consider the Disputed Items. Any items or amounts that have not been disputed in a Statement of Objections delivered prior to the expiration of the Review Period shall be final and binding upon Seller and Purchaser. If any Disputed Item is referred to the Settlement Accountant, Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall prepare separate written reports of each such Disputed Item and deliver such reports to the Settlement Accountant and each other within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date the Settlement Accountant is retained. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the other party’s written report to deliver to the Settlement Accountant and each other one written rebuttal thereto (if applicable). Seller and Purchaser shall not make any further submissions to the Settlement Accountant unless otherwise agreed in writing by Seller and Purchaser; provided, that the Settlement Accountant may also reasonably request either Seller or Purchaser to answer questions that it deems relevant to the resolution of the dispute, and Seller and Purchaser, as applicable, shall reasonably cooperate with such request. The Settlement Accountant may not assign a value to any Disputed Item greater than the greatest value for such Disputed Item claimed by either Seller in the Statement of Objections or Purchaser in the Post-Closing Statement or less than the smallest value for such Disputed Item claimed by either Seller in the Statement of

Objections or Purchaser in the Post-Closing Statement. The Settlement Accountant’s review and determination shall be (i) limited only to the Disputed Items, (ii) based solely on such reports, rebuttals and supporting information submitted by Seller and Purchaser and the terms of this Agreement including the Accounting Principles (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review) and (iii) in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles, and consistent with the definitions of Cash, Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and Transaction Expenses contained herein. During the review by the Settlement Accountant, each of Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives, accountants, advisors and other representatives to, each make available to the Settlement Accountant reasonable access to personnel and such information, books, records and work papers as may be reasonably requested by the Settlement Accountant to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.4(c); provided that the accountants of Seller or Purchaser shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Settlement Accountant except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such Settlement Accountant has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers. A copy of all materials submitted to the Settlement Accountant shall be provided by Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, to the other party in the dispute concurrently with the submission thereof to the Settlement Accountant; provided that the accountants of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the other party except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such other party has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers. Subject to Section 2.4(h), the Settlement Accountant shall have exclusive jurisdiction over, and resort to the Settlement Accountant as provided in this Section 2.4(c) shall be the only recourse and remedy of the parties against one another with respect to, any disputes arising out of or relating to the calculation of, and any adjustments to, the Purchase Price. The final determination with respect to all Disputed Items, including the Settlement Accountant’s basis for such determination, shall be set forth in a written statement by the Settlement Accountant delivered to Seller and Purchaser and, absent mathematical or manifest error raised within five (5) Business Days of the Settlement Accountant’s determination and promptly resolved by the Settlement Accountant in its sole discretion, the resolution of the dispute by the Settlement Accountant shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the parties and such determination may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 12.8. The costs and expenses of the Settlement Accountant shall be borne by Seller and Purchaser in inverse proportion to the difference between the Settlement Accountant’s determination of the Purchase Price and the determination of the Purchase Price claimed by Seller and Purchaser. For example, if Seller claims that the Purchase Price is, in the aggregate, $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Purchaser and if the Settlement Accountant ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding to Seller an aggregate of $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Settlement Accountant will be allocated 30% to Purchaser and 70% to Seller.

(d)The Post-Closing Statement as agreed to by Seller and Purchaser or as determined by the Settlement Accountant is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Statement” and (i) the Cash set forth on such Final Closing Statement shall be deemed the final Cash as of immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) the Indebtedness set forth on such Final Closing Statement shall be deemed the final Indebtedness as of immediately prior to the Closing (except that the Income Tax Amount shall be determined as of the end of the Closing Date), (iii) the Net Working Capital set forth on such Final Closing Statement shall be deemed the final Net Working Capital

as of the Closing, (iv) the Transaction Expenses set forth on such Final Closing Statement shall be deemed the final Transaction Expenses unpaid as of immediately prior to the Closing and (v) the Purchase Price set forth on such Final Closing Statement shall be deemed the final Purchase Price (the “Final Purchase Price”).

(e)In the event that the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Closing Purchase Price (such excess, the “Final Overage”), Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the Final Overage and the Final Closing Statement, with Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Final Overage .

(f)In the event that the Closing Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price (such excess, the “Final Underage”), Seller shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the Final Underage and the Final Closing Statement, with Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Final Underage.

(g)The parties agree to treat for all applicable Income Tax purposes any adjustment as determined pursuant to this Section 2.4 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(h)The process set forth in this Section 2.4 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and its Affiliates and Purchaser and its Affiliates for any disputes between the parties related to the determination of Final Closing Statement and the calculations, items and amounts set forth therein, whether or not the underlying facts and circumstances constitute a breach of any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing shall not prohibit Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, from instituting a Proceeding to enforce any final determination of the Final Closing Statement by the Settlement Accountant pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.4, or to compel Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, to submit any dispute arising in connection with this Section 2.4 to the Settlement Accountant pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.4 in any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 12.8. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be construed to affect or limit the ability of Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) to recover under the R&W Insurance Policy.

2.5 Withholding. Each of Purchaser and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) Taxes from any amounts payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement as required by applicable Legal Requirements. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, provided that Seller delivers a duly executed IRS Form W-9 in accordance with Section 3.2(d), no withholding in respect of U.S. federal income Taxes is expected as of the date of this Agreement to be applicable to the payment of the Purchase Price to Seller. To the extent Purchaser becomes aware of any obligation to withhold (other than any obligation to withhold (a) in respect of payments that are in the nature of compensation or (b) resulting from Seller’s failure to deliver a duly executed IRS Form W-9 in accordance with Section 3.2(d)), it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide reasonable notice at least ten (10) days in advance of any withholding to Seller of the amounts subject to withholding and (ii) provide Seller with a reasonable opportunity to deliver any forms, documentation or other

evidence that would reduce or eliminate such withholding Tax under Legal Requirements. Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller, upon Seller’s reasonable request, to reduce or eliminate any such withholding Tax in a manner consistent with applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent any amounts are deducted and withheld by Purchaser or any other applicable withholding agent under this Section 2.5 and paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable Legal Requirements, such amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

The Acquired Companies own, hold, possess or lawfully use in the operation of the Business all Permits which are necessary to conduct the Business as conducted as of the date of this Agreement, except as would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, be material to Acquired Companies, taken as a whole, or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions.

For the avoidance of doubt, except with the written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Seller or its Affiliate shall be the sole party that contacts or communicates with any counterparty to third-party Consents (other than to the extent subject to Section 6.8) concerning this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the Transactions; provided that, Seller and its applicable Controlled Affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts to consult in good faith with Purchaser and to keep Purchaser reasonably informed, in each case, regarding the obtaining of any third-party Consents.

6.7 Confidentiality.

(a)The terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and shall continue in full force and effect (and all obligations thereunder shall be binding upon Purchaser and its Representatives (as defined in the Non-Disclosure Agreement) as set forth therein) until the Closing, at which time the obligations under the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that Purchaser’s confidentiality obligations under the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall terminate only in respect of that portion of the Evaluation Material (as defined in the Non-Disclosure Agreement) to the extent relating to the Acquired Companies and the Business and, for all other Evaluation Material (as defined in the Non-Disclosure Agreement) (“Non-Business Confidential Material”), the term of the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall continue to apply to such Non-Business Confidential Material until the termination or expiration of the Non-Disclosure Agreement in accordance with its terms.

treatment will be accorded to such non-public, confidential or proprietary information), (ii) for information that is available as of immediately following the Closing generally to the public, or thereafter becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6.7(b), (iii) to the extent such use is strictly necessary in order to enable Seller to fulfil its obligations to Purchaser and the Acquired Companies under any other Transaction Agreement, (iv) for information disclosed to Seller or any of its Affiliates following the Closing Date on a non-confidential basis by any Person not known by Seller after reasonable inquiry to be bound by an obligation of confidentiality to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (v) is demonstrated by Seller or its Affiliates to have been independently developed following the Closing Date not in violation of its or its Representatives’ obligations under this Section 6.7(b) and without reference to any non-public, confidential or proprietary information concerning the Acquired Companies or the Business or any information from a source that is subject to a confidentiality obligation to the Acquired Companies or the Business or is otherwise prohibited from furnishing such information to Seller, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives.

(b)In connection with, and without limiting, the efforts referenced in Section 6.8(a), each of Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, (i) furnish to the other party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law, under the ITAR or any other applicable Customs & Trade Laws, under the CFIUS Authorities or under other applicable Legal Requirements (provided, that, each of Seller and Purchaser may, as each may determine is reasonably necessary, designate competitively sensitive or national security sensitive materials and information provided to the other pursuant to this Section 6.8(b) as “Outside Counsel Only”, and such materials and information shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to directors, officers or employees of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be) or its legal counsel, and that any materials shared may be redacted before being provided to the other party (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Business and (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements; provided, further, that the parties need not provide each other any exhibits to communications providing the personal identifying information required by the CFIUS Authorities or any communications that are otherwise requested by CFIUS to remain confidential), (ii) permit the other party to review any filing or submission prior to forwarding to the FTC, the DOJ, CFIUS, DCSA and other Governmental Authorities (except where such material is confidential to a party, in which case it will be provided, subject to applicable Legal Requirements, to the other party’s counsel on an “external counsel only” basis) and consider in good faith any reasonable comments made by that other party, (iii) keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, any Governmental Authorities and comply as promptly as practicable with any such inquiry or request (and in any event in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements) and (iv) not participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone or videoconference, with any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions, unless it (A) consults with the other party in advance and (B) gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate; provided that a party shall not be required to give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate to the extent (1) prohibited by such Governmental Authority or (2) such Governmental Authority explicitly requests to communicate exclusively with one party). Whether or not the Transactions are consummated, Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all filing fees and disbursements to any third party expert retained by Purchaser in connection with obtaining any approvals or making the notifications or filings required pursuant to this Section 6.8, including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to CFIUS Clearance and the implementation of any FOCI Mitigation Plan. Purchaser

hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide, or cause its applicable Controlled Affiliates to provide, such security and assurances as to financial capability, resources and creditworthiness as may be requested by any such Governmental Authority or other third party whose Consent is sought in connection with the Transaction.

(c)Purchaser and Seller shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, (i) acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets or (ii) agree to consummate any license or co-development or production agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (ii) shall not apply to commercial activities in the ordinary course of business), if, in each case, the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger, consolidation, transaction, license or agreement, would reasonably be expected to (A) impose material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any Governmental Approvals or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under any Legal Requirement, (B) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an Order prohibiting or materially delaying the consummation of the Transaction or (C) prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.8 to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require, or be deemed to require (i) Purchaser or Seller, or any of their respective Affiliates, to propose, negotiate, offer to commit, effect or agree to any sale, divestiture, license or disposition of assets or businesses, or to any behavioral remedy, in each case that is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Transactions or (ii) Seller, or any of its Affiliates, to propose, negotiate, offer to commit, effect or agree to any sale, divestiture, license or disposition of assets or businesses, or to any behavioral remedy, of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than of the Acquired Companies or the Business, subject to clause (i) above that it be conditioned upon the consummation of the Transactions). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.8 to the contrary, none of Seller or any of its Affiliates shall under any circumstance be required to pay or commit to pay any amount or incur any obligation in favor of or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise, regardless of any provision to the contrary in the underlying Contract, including any requirements for the securing or posting of any bonds, letters of credit or similar instruments, or the furnishing of any guarantees) to any Person to obtain any Consent, including the actions set forth in this Section 6.8. None of Seller or any of its Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever to Purchaser arising out of or relating to the failure, in and of itself, to obtain any Governmental Approvals or other Consents that may be required in connection with the Transactions or because of the termination, in and of itself, of any Contract as a result thereof. Purchaser acknowledges that no representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached solely as a result of (i) the failure, in and of itself, to obtain any Governmental Approval or other Consent required in connection with the Transactions, (ii) any termination, in and of itself, of a Contract or (iii) any Proceeding commenced or threatened, in and of itself, by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such Governmental Approval or Consent or any such termination.

(e)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to Section 6.8(d)), the “reasonable best efforts” of Purchaser shall be deemed to include, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take any and all actions necessary or advisable

to obtain expiration or termination of the required waiting periods and any consents, clearances or approvals required under or in connection with any Antitrust Laws or in connection with obtaining CFIUS Clearance and DCSA Approval and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Laws or in connection with obtaining CFIUS Clearance (including all actions necessary to mitigate any national security concerns as may be requested or required by CFIUS in connection with, or as a condition to, the receipt of CFIUS Clearance) or DCSA Approval (including all actions necessary to mitigate any national security concerns as may be requested or required by DCSA in connection with, or as a condition to, DCSA Approval), in each case, to cause the Closing and the Transactions to occur as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement and, in any event, prior to the Outside Date, including (i) expeditiously complying with any requests or inquiries for additional information or documentation (including any “Second Request”) by any Governmental Authority, (ii) offering, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, (A) the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition or encumbrance of any and all of the capital stock, assets, rights, products or businesses of Purchaser, Purchaser’s Subsidiaries, the Business or the Acquired Companies, (B) the entrance into, and the assignment, amendment, modification or termination of, any Contracts or other arrangements of Purchaser, Purchaser’s Subsidiaries or the Acquired Companies and (C) any behavioral limitations, conduct restrictions or other restrictions or commitments on or with respect to the activities, businesses, services, products, product lines or assets of Purchaser, Purchaser’s Subsidiaries, the Acquired Companies or the Business, including terminating, amending or assigning existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations, continuing certain lines of business and agreeing to restrictions on pricing, settling any pending or threatened Proceeding (other than the type contemplated by the following clause (iii), including the payment of any Losses in settlement thereof) and (iii) contesting, defending and appealing any threatened or pending Proceeding or preliminary or permanent injunction or other Order or Legal Requirement that would adversely affect the ability of any party to consummate, or otherwise delay the consummation of, the Transactions; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to take any of the actions contemplated by this Section 6.8(e), or offer or commit to take any such actions, in the event that such action contemplated by this Section 6.8(e) would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, operations, financial condition or results of operations of Purchaser, Purchaser’s Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies) or the Business, in each case measured on a scale relative to the size of the Business. For purposes of the CFIUS Clearance and the DCSA Approval, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Acquired Companies to reasonably support Purchaser in its discussions with CFIUS and DCSA on the nature and scope of any mitigation conditions to achieve the least possible impact on the Acquired Companies and the Business; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.8 to the contrary, neither Purchaser or the Acquired Companies shall be required to agree to any CFIUS or DCSA condition that would have the effect of altering the board and governance structure under Purchaser’s existing Special Security Agreement; provided, further, that any mitigation conditions shall become effectively only from and after, the Closing.

(f)Following the filing of the draft joint voluntary notice with CFIUS in accordance with Section 6.8(a), the parties shall promptly provide CFIUS with any additional or supplemental information requested by CFIUS with respect to such draft joint voluntary notice, and promptly (and in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days of receiving questions or comments from CFIUS on the draft joint voluntary notice) submit the final joint voluntary notice. The parties shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly respond (and, in any event, in accordance

with applicable Legal Requirements) to any request for additional information, documents or other materials received after filing of the joint voluntary notice. Each of the parties shall respond to any request for information from CFIUS in the timeframe set forth in the CFIUS Authorities; provided, that any party, after consultation with each such other party, may request in good faith an extension of time pursuant to the CFIUS Authorities to respond to CFIUS requests for follow-up information; provided, further, that under no circumstance may a party request any extension that would reasonably be expected to cause CFIUS to reject the joint voluntary notice.

(g)With respect to the DCSA Approval, as promptly as practicable following the initial notification made in accordance with Section 6.8(a), the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to provide, or cause to be provided, the information necessary for DCSA to conduct a review of foreign ownership, control or influence pursuant to the current NISPOM Rule and any other applicable U.S. national industrial security regulations, and no later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall submit to DCSA, and Seller shall cooperate in the submission of, a FOCI Mitigation Plan.

6.9 Financing. Purchaser shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, advisable or proper to obtain funds sufficient to pay all amounts payable in connection with the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by the other Transaction Agreements (including all of Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ costs and expenses incurred in the evaluation, negotiation and execution of the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by the other Transaction Agreements). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement are not conditioned in any manner whatsoever upon Purchaser obtaining the funds to satisfy its funding obligations contained in this Agreement, and the obtaining of the Debt Financing is not a condition to the Closing or the consummation of the Transactions.

6.10 Financing Cooperation.

(a)Prior to the Closing, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, Seller shall cause the Acquired Companies to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Purchaser such customary cooperation reasonably requested in writing by Purchaser in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such requests are timely made so as not to delay the Closing beyond the date that it would otherwise occur. Such cooperation shall include using commercially reasonable efforts to do the following (in each case, to the extent so requested as set forth above):

(1)causing management teams of the Acquired Companies, with appropriate seniority and expertise, at reasonable times and locations mutually agreed and upon reasonable advance written notice, to participate in a reasonable number of meetings, conference calls, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions and similar presentations to and with prospective lenders and rating agencies (with all of the foregoing to be virtual at Seller’s or such Persons’ request);

(2)reasonably assisting with the preparation of customary rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda and other customary marketing and syndication materials (which may only be distributed to a third party to the extent permitted by the Non-Disclosure Agreement or a separate confidentiality agreement entered into

between Seller and such third party) reasonably and customarily required and reasonably requested by the Debt Financing Sources in connection with the Debt Financing, in each case solely with respect to information relating to the Acquired Companies; and

(3)furnishing Purchaser and the Debt Financing Sources, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, with all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, that has been reasonably requested by Purchaser in writing, at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the Closing Date.

(b)Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall not have any responsibility for, or incur any liability to any Person under, any financing that Purchaser may raise in connection herewith, or any cooperation provided pursuant to this Section 6.10. Purchaser shall (i) promptly reimburse Seller and any of its Affiliates, and its and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) for all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Seller Indemnitee in connection with this Section 6.10 and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against all Taxes and Losses suffered or incurred, directly or indirectly, by any of them in connection with the Debt Financing (including any action pursuant to this Section 6.10), or any information used in connection therewith. Any use of Seller’s or its Controlled Affiliates’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing shall require Seller’s prior written consent; provided, however, that in the event and to the extent Seller provides such consent, such logos shall be used solely in a manner that is reasonable and customary for such purposes and that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage or otherwise adversely affect Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates or the reputation or goodwill of Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective products, services, offerings or Intellectual Property. All non-public or other confidential information provided by Seller, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be kept confidential in accordance with, and shall be subject to the terms of, the Non-Disclosure Agreement. Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review all presentations, bank information memoranda and similar marketing materials, materials for rating agencies and other documents prepared by or on behalf of or used by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or used or distributed to any Debt Financing Source or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Debt Financing that include any logos of or information about or provided by the Business, Seller, its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives, and any such presentations, memoranda, materials or documents shall include a conspicuous disclaimer to the effect that none of Seller, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives has any responsibility or liability for the content of such document and that Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives disclaim all responsibility therefor.

(c)Nothing in this Section 6.10 shall require any of Seller, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives to:

(1)waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement or pay, agree to pay or reimburse any commitment or other fee or any expenses

in connection with any Debt Financing (other than, in the case of any such fees or expenses, those of the Acquired Companies that only take effect upon the Closing and that terminate with no liability to Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives upon termination of this Agreement);

(2)take any action that would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives incurring any actual or potential liability or giving or being required to give any indemnity in connection with the Debt Financing (other than those of the Acquired Companies that only take effect upon the Closing and that terminate with no liability to Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives upon termination of this Agreement);

(3)take any action that would require Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives to execute, deliver, enter into or perform any document, agreement, certificate or instrument with respect to the Debt Financing (other than those of the Acquired Companies that only take effect upon the Closing and that terminate with no liability to Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives upon termination of this Agreement), or provide (or cause any of their Representatives to provide) any accountants’ comfort letter, reliance letter, legal opinion or other opinion of counsel;

(4)adopt resolutions or execute consents to approve or authorize the Debt Financing;

(5)take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the Business or the other businesses or operations of Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives;

(6)take any action that would cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement to be breached or become inaccurate or that would breach any covenant in this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement;

(7)take any action that would conflict with or violate, or that could reasonably be expected to conflict with or violate, the organizational documents of Seller or any of its Affiliates or applicable Legal Requirements;

(8)take any action that would result in the contravention of, or that could reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of, or a default under, any Contract to which Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives is a party or bound or any obligations of confidentiality binding on Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives;

(9)provide access to or disclose information that constitutes attorney work product or that Seller determines would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege of Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives or which is restricted or prohibited under applicable Legal Requirements;

(10)cause any director, officer, employee or other Representative of Seller or any of its Affiliates to incur any actual or potential personal liability; or

(11)prepare any financial statements, projections or other similar materials.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that any action taken or omitted to be taken by Seller, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives with respect to the matters contemplated by this Section 6.10 will not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether any of the conditions contained in Section 10.1 have been satisfied or whether any of Purchaser’s rights of termination arise under Section 11.1(c).

6.11 Insurance.

(a)Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) the coverage under all insurance policies or self-insurance policies or programs, including those relating to the Acquired Companies and the Business, arranged or maintained by or for the benefit of Seller or any of its Affiliates (in each case other than insurance policies or self-insurance policies or programs that are maintained and held exclusively by the Acquired Companies) (collectively, the “Insurance Policies”) shall not be available or transferred to Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or the Business, (ii) as of the Closing, the Acquired Companies and the Business shall cease to be insured by the Insurance Policies and (iii) it is Purchaser’s sole responsibility to arrange for its own insurance policies or self-insurance policies or programs with respect to the Acquired Companies and the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to direct any carriers for any of its third-party Insurance Policies (excluding, for clarity, self-insurance policies or programs) affording coverage for the Acquired Companies or the Business to continue to process any claims made thereunder by the Acquired Companies or the Business to the extent such claims were made prior to the Closing and reasonably cooperate with Purchaser following the Closing in connection therewith (in all cases if and to the extent permissible under the terms and conditions of the applicable Insurance Policies), and any such claims shall be further subject to Section 6.11(b) mutatis mutandis.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 6.11(a), with respect to any events or circumstances relating to the Acquired Companies or the Business that occurred or existed prior to the Closing that are covered by occurrence-based third-party Insurance Policies (excluding, for clarity, self-insurance policies or programs) (the “Occurrence-Based Policies”), Purchaser or the Acquired Companies, as applicable, may, at Purchaser’s reasonable request, after the Closing and subject to prior consultation with Seller, make claims and seek coverage with respect to such events or circumstances under such Occurrence-Based Policies and retain claims made prior to the Closing subject to the terms and conditions of such Occurrence-Based Policies; provided, that (i) Purchaser and the Acquired Companies shall exclusively bear the amount of any “deductibles”, retentions or premium increases associated with any such claims under such Occurrence-Based Policies and shall otherwise be liable for all uninsured or unrecovered amounts of such claims (provided this shall not be construed to affect or limit the ability of Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) to recover under the R&W Insurance Policy), (ii) Purchaser and the Acquired Companies shall be liable, and shall reimburse Seller, for any fees, costs or expenses incurred by Seller or its Affiliates through the insurers or reinsurers of such Occurrence-Based Policies relating to such claims, (iii) any amounts to be remitted to Purchaser or the Acquired Companies in respect of any insurance claim under this Section 6.11 shall be paid net of any amounts incurred by Seller or its Affiliates in accordance with clause (ii) and (iv) with respect

to coverage claims or requests for benefits asserted by Purchaser or the Acquired Companies under such Occurrence-Based Policies, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to waive or settle such insurance claims without the consent of Purchaser and, at Purchaser’s cost and upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser and the Acquired Companies, as applicable, in filing any insurance claims and in the collection of insurance proceeds and at Purchaser’s reasonable request and sole cost and expense (including, for clarity, prompt reimbursement to Seller of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and any expenses, including of its Representatives), Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue, or cause to be pursued, collection of insurance proceeds unless Seller reasonably determines, in consultation with Purchaser, that collection of a material amount of insurance proceeds is not reasonably likely. Seller or its applicable Affiliate (other than the members of the Acquired Companies) may amend or modify any insurance policy or program (including the Occurrence-Based Policies) in the manner it deems appropriate to give effect, from and after the Closing, to this Section 6.11 or for any other purpose in the ordinary course of business; provided that (x) no such amendment or modification may disproportionately impair the rights of Purchaser and the Acquired Companies to access the Occurrence-Based Policies as set forth herein as compared to the rights of Seller and its other Affiliates with respect to the Occurrence-Based Policies, (y) Seller or its applicable Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the terms of such policies, including any deductibles and self-insured retentions, to remain unaffected by the terms of this Agreement with respect to events prior to and including the Closing Date and (z) Seller or its applicable Affiliate (other than the members of the Acquired Companies) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in effect each Occurrence-Based Policy until the expiration of the term of such policy or program (and not terminate such policy or program prior to such expiration). This Section 6.11 shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance, and nothing in this Section 6.11 is intended to waive or abrogate in any way Seller’s own rights to insurance coverage for any liability. Purchaser must give Seller notice of any claim to be made under the Occurrence-Based Policies in accordance with this Section 6.11 no later than the third (3rd) anniversary of this Agreement, after which Purchaser shall no longer have the right to make new claims under this Section 6.11.

(c)With respect to any claims-made policies set forth on Schedule 6.11(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, prior to the Closing, the Acquired Companies shall, at the written request and direction of Purchaser reasonably in advance of the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at Purchaser’s sole expense and with effect from the Closing, a “tail” extension of any existing claims-made policy (as so requested by Purchaser) issued to or maintained or held by the Acquired Companies or covering any of the Acquired Companies or the Business (other than D&O Insurance, which is addressed in Section 7.3(c)), for a claims reporting or discovery period of three years (if three years is permitted by such policy) from and after the Closing, with respect to any claims related to any period of time at or prior to the Closing, with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the coverage provided under each such policy existing at the Closing, and with Purchaser and the Acquired Companies as named insureds.

6.12 R&W Insurance Policy. If Purchaser or any of its Affiliates elects to obtain a buy-side representations and warranties insurance policy in connection with the Transactions (the “R&W Insurance Policy”), Purchaser agrees that the R&W Insurance Policy shall provide that (a)

the insurer shall irrevocably waive and not pursue, directly or indirectly, any claims against Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives (by way of subrogation, claim for contribution or otherwise) in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, other than in the case of Fraud and then only to the extent of such Fraud and (b) Seller and its Affiliates or Representatives shall be express third-party beneficiaries of such provision. Purchaser shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) amend or modify in any material respect that is adverse to Seller and its Affiliates or Representatives, or otherwise novate, assign, waive or terminate, in each case the provisions in clauses (a) and (b) of the immediately preceding sentence without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall be in Seller’s sole discretion. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all costs to procure, maintain and make claims under the R&W Insurance Policy, including all premiums, broker fees, underwriting fees, retentions, Taxes, expenses and costs of any nature whatsoever. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the absence of coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy for any reason, including the insolvency of, or breach of any R&W Insurance Policy by, any insurer thereunder, the failure of Purchaser to file notices or claims that are timely and sufficient under any R&W Insurance Policy, or the failure by any insurer under any R&W Insurance Policy to make any payments to Purchaser under such R&W Insurance Policy, or to deny coverage, for any reason, under such R&W Insurance Policy shall not expand, alter, amend, change or otherwise affect Seller’s liability under this Agreement.

6.13 Litigation Support.

(a)Subject to Section 6.7, Section 6.8 and Section 12.16, in the event and for so long as (i) Seller or any of its Affiliates is defending any Proceeding, charge or demand by a third party (other than an action brought against or by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates) or otherwise addressing, negotiating, disputing, investigating, complying with, mitigating, discharging or otherwise performing or managing any Loss in connection with (A) the Transactions (including in connection with recovering under the R&W Insurance Policy) or (B) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction relating to, in connection with or arising from the pre-Closing activity of the Business or the Acquired Companies, or (ii) Purchaser or any Acquired Company is defending any Proceeding, charge or demand by a third party (other than an action brought against or by Seller or any of its Affiliates) or otherwise addressing, negotiating, disputing, investigating, complying with, mitigating, discharging or otherwise performing or managing any Loss in connection with (A) the Transactions or (B) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction relating to, in connection with or arising from the pre-Closing activity of the Business or the Acquired Companies, the other party shall, and shall cause its other Affiliates and its and their officers and employees to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their other Representatives to, cooperate with the defending party and its Affiliates and its and their counsel in such defense (to the extent reasonably necessary for such defense), including making available its personnel, participating in meetings, providing such testimony and access to their books and records and taking such other actions as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with such defense, to the extent reasonably requested by, and at the sole cost and expense of, the defending party; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require either party or its Affiliates to provide access or to disclose information in connection with a Proceeding between the parties (or their respective Affiliates), where the disclosing party reasonably concludes in good faith (upon the advice of counsel) that there is a divergence in the parties’ respective interests, or where such

party reasonably believes in good faith that such access or disclosure would contravene any Legal Requirement (including Data Protection Laws) or the terms of any Contract, would result in the waiver of any legal privilege or work-product protection, or would cause significant competitive harm to such party, its Affiliates or their respective businesses; provided, further, that, in any such case, the appliable party will, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, notify the other in reasonable detail of the circumstances giving rise to any non-disclosure pursuant to the foregoing and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify and pursue a permissible method to provide such access or disclosure of such information in a manner that would not result in any of the outcomes described therein; provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall limit any rights of discovery. Subject to Section 6.2(c), nothing in this Section 6.13 shall require any party or any their respective Affiliates to enter into any joint defense agreements.

(b)From and after the Closing, Seller shall reimburse the Acquired Companies for the actual amount paid by the Acquired Companies in settlement or upon a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (the “Specified Losses”) for the legal proceeding set forth on Schedule 6.13(b)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Specified Litigation”) as set forth on Schedule 6.13(b)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 6.13(b), attorneys’ fees of Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective former and current Representatives in connection with the Specified Litigation are the sole responsibility of Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective former and current Representatives).

(c)With respect to the Specified Litigation, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not, except with the written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into any settlement, voluntary order or other voluntary resolution that results in Seller having any monetary payment obligations under Section 6.13(b).

6.14 Registered Office Addresses. To the extent an Acquired Company uses any facility address of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) as a registered office address, Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, take any and all actions to transfer the registered office address of any such Acquired Company to the registered office address of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates effective as of, and subject to the occurrence of, the Closing.

6.15 Segregation of Email and Messaging Accounts. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall be entitled to undertake a review of the email accounts and any other stored messages of Company Employees set forth on Schedule 6.15 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule to identify any emails (and other content, including attachments and contacts) and stored messages that are related exclusively to the business of Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Business) (collectively, the “Excluded Emails and Messages”), and to delete from such email message accounts any Excluded Emails and Messages, such that Excluded Emails and Messages are not included in such email accounts as of the Closing Date.

6.16 DDTC 60-Day. The parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to ensure all required filings are made with DDTC under the ITAR. The parties shall file jointly the notice, or separately the notices, required by Section 122.4(b) of the ITAR so that prior to the Closing, sixty (60) days shall have elapsed following the submission of the notice(s). The parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with the

submission of any such notice(s), including the provision of any such information necessary for submission of the notice(s) required by Section 122.4(b) of the ITAR, as well as any other filings required under the ITAR.

6.17 Resignations. Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver to Purchaser on the Closing Date resignation letters, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, of such members of the board of directors of each of the Acquired Companies and such officers of each of the Acquired Companies which have been requested in writing by Purchaser at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, such resignation letters to be effective concurrently with, and subject to the occurrence of, the Closing.

6.18 Pre-Closing Reorganization.

(a)Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, effect the contribution of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Topaz to the Company and thereafter to the Company Subsidiary, such that Topaz will be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company Subsidiary (such transactions, the “Topaz Reorganization”).

(b)Prior to the Closing, the parties shall negotiate in good faith, acting reasonably, and mutually agree to one or more commercial and services Contracts on arms’-length terms to provide Seller and its Controlled Affiliates following the Closing the services and benefits that Topaz provides to Seller and such Controlled Affiliates as of the date of this Agreement.

(c)Prior to the Closing, Seller shall effectuate the transfers of real estate interests held by Seller as set forth on Annex B (the “Real Estate Reorganization Plan”); provided, that, subject to Section 6.4(c) and the following proviso, but notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the occurrence of the matter set forth on Schedule 6.18(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, shall not, in and of itself, constitute any breach of this Section 6.18(c); provided, further, that in the event that the Closing occurs prior to the completion of the matter set forth in Item 3(a) of the Real Estate Reorganization Plan, Seller shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, reasonably cooperate with Seller, to complete the Real Estate Reorganization Plan with respect to such matter as promptly as practicable after the Closing, and, until such time as the Real Estate Reorganization Plan is so completed, Seller shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to provide all of the benefits of the Real Estate Reorganization Plan to Purchaser as if it had been completed, at no additional cost to Purchaser.

(d)At least ten (10) Business Days prior to effectuating the Topaz Reorganization or the Real Estate Reorganization Plan, as applicable, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser any documentation or agreements effectuating such transactions, and such documentation or agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser acting in good faith (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to effectuating the Real Estate Reorganization Plan, submit the proposed Purchase Price (as defined in Annex B) to Purchaser for its review and consent acting in good faith (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Article VII

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

7.1 Transitional Trademark Rights.

(a)It is expressly agreed that, subject to Section 7.1(b), Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, as of the Closing, the Acquired Companies), do not have any right, title or interest (whether express or implied) in, to or under any Trademark consisting of, incorporating or confusingly similar to, any Trademark of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) set forth on Schedule 7.1(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, including the Seller Transitional Trademarks, but excluding the Standalone Go Beyond Mark (which the Parties acknowledge and agree is included in the Owned IP and exclusively owned by an Acquired Company as of the date hereof and the Closing) (such Trademarks, the “Seller Mark”). Subject to Section 7.1(b), as of the Closing, Purchaser (i) shall cause the Acquired Companies to cease any and all use of the Seller Marks (including in the respective corporate or other legal names of the Acquired Companies); (ii) will not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, (A) adopt, use, apply to register or register, or authorize others to adopt, use, apply to register or register, any Seller Mark (including the Seller Transitional Trademarks) or any component part thereof or any colorable imitation thereof (including any non-English language variation thereof), or any confusingly similar name, mark, dress, number or other designation, or any confusingly similar or dilutive name, mark, dress, number or designation or (B) contest the use, ownership, validity or enforceability of any rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates in or to any Seller Mark and (iii) shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, otherwise do anything inconsistent with Seller’s ownership of the Seller Marks or do or cause to be done any act or thing that will in any way impair the rights of Seller in and to the Seller Transitional Trademarks or Seller’s goodwill therein or have any dilutive effect thereupon.

(b)Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 7.1(a), Seller, on behalf of itself and its Controlled Affiliates, hereby grants the Acquired Companies a limited right to utilize the Seller Transitional Trademarks following the Closing solely in substantially the same manner of such use and solely for the administration of the Business as conducted immediately prior to the Closing Date, for a period of three (3) months following the Closing Date (the “Transitional Trademark End Date”); provided, that (i) any goodwill generated by the Acquired Companies’ use of the Seller Transitional Trademarks during the period following the Closing shall inure to the benefit of Seller; (ii) any products or services provided by or on the behalf of the Acquired Companies in connection with the Seller Transitional Trademarks shall be consistent with the use of such Seller Transitional Trademarks prior to the Closing Date, including with respect to quality standards and (iii) to the extent the Seller Transitional Trademarks are being used, the Acquired Companies shall continue to display the Seller Transitional Trademarks in the same manner they were displayed prior to the Closing Date. In the event Seller identifies any breach of this Section 7.1(b), the Acquired Companies shall promptly remedy such breach. No later than the Transitional Trademark End Date, Purchaser shall cause the Acquired Companies to destroy, or remove, strike over, cover over or otherwise eliminate all Seller Transitional Trademarks (which do not include the Standalone Go Beyond Mark) from all materials (whether written, electronic or otherwise) publicly displaying the Seller Transitional Trademarks in its possession. Seller shall have the right to terminate the foregoing license, effective upon thirty (30)

days’ written notice to Purchaser, if the Acquired Companies fail to materially comply with the terms and conditions regarding such license set forth herein; provided, that such license shall not terminate if the Acquired Companies cure any such default prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day notice period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.1 is intended to prohibit any use (or require any destruction, removal, striking or covering over, or other elimination) by Purchaser or its Affiliates of any Seller Transitional Trademarks (A) that are included on any Business products or related materials that have been produced (or are in production) prior to the Transitional Trademark End Date, until such products or materials have been exhausted, (B) on non-public fixed assets and personal property of the Business that include an indelible Seller Transitional Trademark, (C) for internal business purposes, including in internal or archived records or systems, (D) to the extent required by Legal Requirements or (E) to factually refer to the historical relationship between Seller and its Affiliates and the Business, including in historical, tax, regulatory and similar records, or as otherwise permitted by “fair use” in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

(c)It is expressly agreed that, Seller and its Controlled Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies), do not have any right, title or interest (whether express or implied) in, to or under any Trademark consisting of, incorporating or confusingly similar to, any Trademark of the Acquired Companies set forth on Schedule 4.11(a)(2) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Business Trademarks”). As of the Closing, Seller (i) shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, cease any and all use of the Business Trademarks and the Combination Mark (including in the respective corporate or other legal names of Seller or its Controlled Affiliates); (ii) will not, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates not to, (A) adopt, use, apply to register or register, or authorize others to adopt, use, apply to register or register, any such Trademark or any component part thereof or any colorable imitation thereof (including any non-English language variation thereof), or any confusingly similar name, mark, dress, number or other designation, or any confusingly similar or dilutive name, mark, dress, number or designation, provided, notwithstanding such limitation, Seller shall have the right to maintain the existing (as of the Closing) registration of, but not use, the Combination Mark or (B) contest the use, ownership, validity or enforceability of any rights of the Acquired Companies in or to any Business Trademark and (iii) shall not, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates not to, otherwise do anything inconsistent with the Acquired Companies’ ownership of such Business Trademarks or do or cause to be done any act or thing that will in any way impair the rights of the Acquired Companies in and to the Business Trademarks or the Acquired Companies’ goodwill therein or have any dilutive effect thereupon, provided, in each case, that with respect to the Combination Mark, the foregoing covenants and limitations shall not apply to the word BALL as a standalone word or as used in combination with any other word, phrase, or Trademark other than a Business Trademark, including the Standalone Go Beyond Mark, and the Parties acknowledge and agree that the word Ball is a Seller Mark and exclusively owned by Seller or its Controlled Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) as of the date hereof and the Closing.

(d)Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 7.1(c), subject to the terms of this Section 7.1(d), the Acquired Companies hereby grant Seller and its Controlled Affiliates a limited right to utilize the Business Trademarks following the Closing solely in substantially the same manner of such use and solely for the administration of Seller’s and its Controlled Affiliates’ business as conducted immediately prior to the Closing Date, from the period starting on the Closing Date until the Transitional Trademark End Date; provided, that (i)

any goodwill generated by Seller’s or its Controlled Affiliates’ use of the Business Trademarks during the period following the Closing shall inure to the benefit of Acquired Companies; (ii) any products or services provided by or on the behalf of Seller or its Controlled Affiliates in connection with the Business Trademarks shall be consistent with the use of such Trademarks prior to the Closing Date, including with respect to quality standards and (iii) to the extent the Business Trademarks are being used, Seller and its Controlled Affiliates shall continue to display the Business Trademarks in the same manner they were displayed prior to the Closing Date. In the event Purchaser or an Acquired Company identifies any breach of this Section 7.1(d), Seller and its Controlled Affiliates shall promptly remedy such breach. No later than the Transitional Trademark End Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, destroy, or remove, strike over, cover over or otherwise eliminate all Business Trademarks (including the Combination Mark, but subject to the final proviso of Section 7.1(c)) from all materials (whether written, electronic or otherwise) publicly displaying the Business Trademarks in its possession. Purchaser shall have the right to terminate the foregoing license, effective upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Seller, if Seller or its Controlled Affiliates fail to materially comply with the terms and conditions regarding such license set forth herein; provided, that such license shall not terminate if Seller or its Controlled Affiliate, as applicable, cures any such default prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day notice period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.1 is intended to prohibit any use (or require any destruction, removal, striking or covering over, or other elimination) by Seller or its Controlled Affiliates of any Business Trademarks IP (A) that are included on any products or related materials that have been produced (or are in production) prior to the Transitional Trademark End Date, until such products or materials have been exhausted, (B) on non-public fixed assets and personal property that include an indelible Business Trademark, (C) for internal business purposes, including in internal or archived records or systems, (D) to the extent required by Legal Requirements or (E) to factually refer to the historical relationship with the Acquired Companies, including in historical, tax, regulatory and similar records, or as otherwise permitted by “fair use” in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

7.2 Closing and Post-Closing Access to Information.

(a)Prior to or at the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) to, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Acquired Companies all books, records and documents, in any form or medium, to the extent related to the Business or the Acquired Companies (in each case including any applicable attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection and expectation of client privilege attaching to any such books, records and documents) and in the possession of Seller and its Controlled Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies), other than books, records and documents the provision of which is subject to the Transition Services Agreement.

(b)Without limiting Seller’s obligations under Section 7.2(a), from and after the Closing for a period of seven (7) years, Seller shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) to, afford the other and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives, during normal business hours, upon reasonable request and advance notice, reasonable access to the books and records of Seller and its Controlled Affiliates or each Acquired Company and their Affiliates and the Business, as applicable, in each case, to the extent related to the Acquired Companies or the Business and for periods prior to the Closing, and to make copies of such books and records at the accessing party’s

expense, to the extent that (i) in the case of Purchaser, such access is requested for reasonable business purposes, including in connection with financial statements, any potential Proceeding or investigation by or before a Governmental Authority and stock exchange, foreign securities, SEC or other Governmental Authority reporting obligations or (ii) in the case of Seller, such access is requested for reasonable business purposes, including financial statements, any potential Proceeding or investigation by or before a Governmental Authority and stock exchange, foreign securities, SEC or other Governmental Authority reporting obligations; provided, that the foregoing shall not require Seller or Purchaser or its respective Affiliates to provide access or to disclose information in connection with a Proceeding either between the parties (or their respective Affiliates), or where such party reasonably believes in good faith that such access or disclosure would contravene any Legal Requirement (including Data Protection Laws) or the terms of any Contract, would result in the waiver of any legal privilege or work-product protection, or would cause significant competitive harm to such party, its Affiliates or their respective businesses; provided, further, that, in any such case, the appliable party will, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, notify the other in reasonable detail of the circumstances giving rise to any non-disclosure pursuant to the foregoing and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify and pursue a permissible method to provide such access or disclosure of such information in a manner that would not result in any of the outcomes described therein; provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall limit any rights of discovery in any Proceeding; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not expand or otherwise affect Seller’s obligations under the Transition Services Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.2 shall not govern access to information relating to Taxes, which access is governed solely by Section 8.5.

7.3 D&O Indemnification.

(a)From and after the Closing until the date that is six (6) years after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause the Acquired Companies to, (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless all of the past and present officers and directors (in their capacities as such) of each of the Acquired Companies (collectively, the “D&O Indemnitees”) from and against all costs or expenses, judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim or Proceeding arising out of, relating to or resulting from the fact that such D&O Indemnitee is or was an officer or director of any Acquired Company or is or was serving at the request of any Acquired Company as an officer, director, trustee, member, manager or employee of any other Person, in each case at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing (including with respect to acts or omissions occurring in connection with the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions) and provide advancement of expenses to the D&O Indemnitees; provided, that any D&O Indemnitee to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, in all such cases, to the greatest extent that such Persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses prior to the Closing by any Acquired Company pursuant to (x) its organizational documents in existence as of the date of this Agreement and (y) the indemnification agreements in existence as of the date of this Agreement and set forth on Schedule 7.3 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “D&O Indemnification Agreements”), (ii) without limitation of the foregoing clause (i), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, include and not amend, repeal or modify and otherwise cause to be maintained in effect the provisions regarding elimination of liability of officers and directors, and

indemnification of and advancement of expenses to officers, directors and employees contained in the organizational documents of any Acquired Company and (iii) without the consent of the applicable D&O Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld), not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Proceeding or threatened Proceeding (and in which indemnification would reasonably be expected to be sought by a D&O Indemnitee hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such D&O Indemnitee from all liability arising out of, relating to or resulting from such Proceeding.

(b)Prior to the Closing, the Acquired Companies shall, at Purchaser’s expense and with effect from the Closing, obtain a “tail” extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of Seller’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and fiduciary liability insurance policies (the “D&O Insurance”) covering persons who are (at or prior to the Closing) currently or who were officers or directors of any of the Acquired Companies (in their capacities as such) for a claims reporting or discovery period of six years from and after the Closing with respect to any claims related to any period of time at or prior to the Closing, with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the coverage provided under the D&O Insurance; provided, that the aggregate cost for such “tail” insurance shall not exceed an amount to be mutually agreed by the parties (the “Maximum Amount”). If the Acquired Companies are unable to obtain such “tail” policy at an aggregate cost less than or equal to the Maximum Amount, the Acquired Companies shall instead, in consultation with Purchaser, obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for an aggregate cost equal to the Maximum Amount.

(c)If, following the Closing until the date that is six (6) years after the Closing Date, any Acquired Company, or any of its respective successors or assigns, (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of such Acquired Company or any of their respective successors or assigns, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.3.

(d)The rights of the D&O Indemnitees under this Section 7.3 shall be in addition to any rights such D&O Indemnitees may have under the organizational documents of the Acquired Companies, or under any applicable Contracts or Legal Requirements, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of the Acquired Companies to honor and perform under all D&O Indemnification Agreements entered into by the Acquired Companies as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

(e)The obligations of Purchaser and the Acquired Companies under this Section 7.3 shall not be terminated, amended or modified in any manner so as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnitee (including such Person’s successors, heirs and legal representatives) to whom this Section 7.3 applies without the written consent of such affected D&O Indemnitee (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnitees to whom this Section 7.3 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.3, and this Section 7.3 shall be enforceable by such D&O Indemnitees and their respective successors, heirs and legal representatives and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Purchaser and each Acquired Company).

7.4 Non-Solicit.

(a)From and after the Closing until the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of the Closing, Seller will not, and will not permit any of its Controlled Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (i) induce or encourage any Transferred Employee with a gross annual base salary equal to or in excess of $280,000 to leave the employment of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (ii) solicit for employment or employ any such Transferred Employee with a gross annual base salary equal to or in excess of $280,000; provided, that the foregoing in this Section 7.4(a) shall not preclude Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates from (A) making general solicitations (including through the use of third-party agencies or firms) not specifically directed toward any Transferred Employee (and hiring any Transferred Employee who affirmatively contacts Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates for employment without prior solicitation or encouragement or in response to such general solicitation and not any other form of solicitation) or (B) hiring any Transferred Employee whose employment by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is terminated prior (if terminated by such Transferred Employee and not by Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate, or if terminated by Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate “for cause”, at least three (3) months prior) to commencement of employment discussions between Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates and such Transferred Employee. If Seller breaches any of the foregoing covenants, Purchaser will be entitled to seek injunctive relief in addition to any other remedies that may be available under applicable Legal Requirements.

(b)Seller expressly acknowledges that (i) each of the restrictions contained in this Section 7.4 are reasonable in all respects (including with respect to subject matter, geographical scope and time period) and such restrictions are necessary to protect Purchaser’s interest in, and value of, the Acquired Companies’ businesses (including the goodwill inherent therein), (ii) Seller is primarily responsible for the creation of such value, (iii) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitute good, valid and binding consideration for Seller’s obligations, covenants and agreements contained in this Section 7.4 and (iv) Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby without the restrictions contained in this Section 7.4 and this Section 7.4 being in full force and effect and binding and enforceable covenants of Seller. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the time period of any of the foregoing covenants is too lengthy or the geographic coverage or scope of any of the covenants is too broad, the restrictive time period will be deemed to be the longest period permissible under applicable Legal Requirement and the geographic coverage and scope will be deemed to comprise the largest coverage and scope permissible under applicable Legal Requirements.

7.5 Further Assurances; Wrong Pockets.

(a)From time to time following the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party, execute, acknowledge and deliver all reasonable further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquittances and such instruments, and shall take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to make effective the Transactions as may be reasonably requested by the other party; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.5(a) shall (i) require any party or any of its respective Affiliates to expend any money, commence or participate in any Proceeding, incur liabilities or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or

otherwise) following the Closing or (ii) expand or otherwise affect Seller’s obligations under the Transition Services Agreement.

(b)If, for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Closing, Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates (i) receives funds (including any refund or other amount relating to any pre-Closing claim (in respect of workers’ compensation, third-party insurance or similar matters)) arising from the Business or (ii) owns or is in possession of any material asset (including Intellectual Property) primarily used or held for use in the conduct of the Business, then Seller shall promptly remit, transfer or assign, or cause its applicable Affiliate to remit, transfer or assign, such funds or asset to the Company or its designated Affiliate (and the Company or its designated Affiliate shall accept any such funds or asset), for no additional consideration and net of Seller’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred to effect such remittance, transfer or assignment. Until the remittance or transfer of any such funds or asset is effected, Seller shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, preserve the value of, and hold in trust for the use and benefit of, the Company or its designated Affiliate, such funds or asset and provide to the Company or its designated Affiliate all of the benefits arising from such funds or asset and otherwise cause such funds or asset to be used as reasonably instructed by the Company or its designated Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.5(b) is not intended to modify, and shall be subject to, any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement that expressly provides that any funds or assets shall, after the Closing, be allocated to Seller or any of its Affiliates (including with respect to general corporate shared services provided by Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) and to be retained by Seller or such Controlled Affiliate in connection with the Transactions), on the one hand, or Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies), on the other hand.

(c)If, for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Closing, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) (i) receives any funds (including any refund or other amount relating to any pre-Closing claim (in respect of workers’ compensation, third-party insurance or similar matters)) arising from the businesses of Seller or any of its Affiliates other than the Business or (ii) owns or is in possession of any material asset (including Intellectual Property) primarily used or held for use in the conduct of the businesses of Seller or any of its Affiliates other than the Business, then Purchaser shall promptly remit, transfer or assign, or cause its applicable Affiliate to remit, transfer or assign, such funds or asset to Seller or its designated Affiliate (and Seller or its designated Affiliate shall accept any such funds or asset), for no additional consideration and net of Purchaser’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred to effect such remittance, transfer or assignment. Until the remittance or transfer of any such funds or asset is effected, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, preserve the value of, and hold in trust for the use and benefit of, Seller or its designated Affiliate, such funds or asset and provide to Seller or its designated Affiliate all of the benefits arising from such funds or asset and otherwise cause such funds or asset to be used as reasonably instructed by Seller or its designated Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.5(c) is not intended to modify, and shall be subject to, any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement that expressly provides that any funds or assets shall, after the Closing, be allocated to Seller or any of its Affiliates (including with respect to general corporate shared services provided by Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) and to be retained by Seller or such Controlled Affiliate in connection with the Transactions), on the one hand, or Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies), on the other hand.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any provision this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements specifically provides that any funds or assets shall remain or become the funds or assets of, or otherwise become the responsibility of, Purchaser, its Affiliates or the Acquired Companies, on the one hand, or Seller or its Affiliates, on the other hand, such provision shall control over Section 7.5(b) and Section 7.5(c).

7.6 Notifications. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, each of Purchaser and Seller will give prompt notice to the other (and will subsequently keep the other informed on a reasonably current basis of any material developments related to such notice) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any change, event, effect, occurrence or development that (a) with respect to Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies and the Business), has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) with respect to Purchaser, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect or (c) will, or is reasonably likely to, result in any of the Closing Conditions not being able to be satisfied prior to the Outside Date. No notification given by any party pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall limit or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any party’s (a) failure to comply with this Section 7.6 or (b) notice provided in accordance with this Section 7.6 will not, in and of itself, be taken into account for purposes of determining whether any Closing Conditions have been satisfied.

Article VIII

TAX MATTERS

8.1 Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

(a)Seller and Purchaser shall (or shall cause their relevant Affiliates to) make and timely file joint elections under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding elections under applicable state or local Legal Requirements) with respect to the Acquired Companies (the “Section 338(h)(10) Elections”).

(b)Seller and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their relevant Affiliates to) cooperate in the preparation and filing of all forms, attachments and schedules necessary to effectuate the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, including IRS Form 8023.

(c)In connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, as promptly as practicable after the determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4(d) but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such determination, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser an allocation of the applicable “Aggregate Deemed Sale Price” (as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.338-4) among the assets of the Acquired Companies (the “Election Allocation”), which allocation shall be made in accordance with Section 338 of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations and Section 8.8. If within thirty (30) days of receiving the Election Allocation, Purchaser has not objected to such allocation in writing, the Election Allocation shall become final and binding on the parties. If within thirty (30) days of receiving the Election Allocation, Purchaser notifies Seller in writing of any objection to such allocation,

Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any disputed items. If Purchaser and Seller fail to resolve any disputed item within thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s written objection (or within such longer period as the parties may mutually agree), Purchaser and Seller shall submit such disputed items to the Settlement Accountant for resolution pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(c), applied mutatis mutandis, provided that, for clarity, the Settlement Accountant shall apply Section 8.8. The Election Allocation, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 8.1(c), shall be final, conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Seller.

(d)Seller and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their relevant Affiliates to) (i) prepare and file all federal, state and local Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Elections and the Election Allocation (it being understood that the “Adjusted Grossed-Up Basis” as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.338-5 may differ to the extent required under such Treasury Regulations with respect to items such as Purchaser’s “acquisition costs”) and (ii) not take any position inconsistent therewith on any Tax Return or in connection with any Tax Proceeding, except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code (and any similar provision under any state, local or foreign law).

8.2 Tax Returns; Allocation of Taxes.

(a)Seller and Purchaser shall prepare and file Tax Returns as follows:

(1)Seller shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, when due (taking into account any valid extension of a required filing date) (A) all Consolidated Returns and (B) all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Acquired Companies related to Pre-Closing Tax Periods that are due (taking into account any valid extension of a required filing date) on or before the Closing Date. Each such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices of the Acquired Companies, except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, any Taxes associated with the Tax Returns described in this Section 8.2(a)(i).

(2)Purchaser (or its Affiliates) shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, when due (taking into account any extensions of a required filing date) all other Tax Returns required to be filed by the Acquired Companies related to Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including Straddle Periods) that are due after the Closing Date, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Consolidated Returns (each such Tax Return that is material and filed on or prior to the date that the Final Closing Statement becomes final and binding, but expressly excluding a Purchaser Consolidated Return, a “Purchaser-Filed Tax Return”). Each Purchaser-Filed Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices of the Acquired Companies, except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

(3)Any Purchaser-Filed Tax Return shall be provided in draft form to Seller (together with schedules, statements or other supporting documentation reasonably requested) at least twenty-five (25) Business Days (or, in the case of any Tax Return that is not an Income Tax Return, as soon as reasonably practicable) prior to the due date (including any applicable valid extension) of such Purchaser-Filed Tax Return. Seller shall

have the right to review and comment on such Purchaser-Filed Tax Return, and Purchaser shall consider in good faith any comments thereto that are provided by Seller to Purchaser in writing at least fifteen (15) Business Days (or, in the case of any Tax Return that is not an Income Tax Return, as soon as reasonably practicable) prior to the due date (including any applicable valid extension) of such Purchaser-Filed Tax Return. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any disputed items with respect to any comments that were timely provided by Seller. If Purchaser and Seller fail to resolve any disputed items within five (5) Business Days following Seller’s delivery of such comments (or within such longer period as the parties may mutually agree), Purchaser and Seller shall submit such disputed items to the Settlement Accountant for resolution, and Purchaser and Seller shall instruct the Settlement Accountant to resolve such disputed items as soon as practicable prior to the due date (including any applicable valid extension) of the Purchaser-Filed Tax Return. The fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountant shall be borne in the manner contemplated by Section 2.4(c), mutatis mutandis.

(4)Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Legal Requirements), from and after the Closing until the Final Closing Statement becomes final and binding, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Acquired Companies not to, amend any Tax Return related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or agree to the waiver or extension of the statute of limitations relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Acquired Companies (other than as a result of ordinary course extensions of time to file Tax Returns consistent with past practice), in each case, (1) to the extent such aforementioned actions would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Seller or any of its Affiliates and (2) without the prior written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld).

(b)To the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, each of the Acquired Companies shall elect to close each of its respective taxable periods as of or prior to the Closing Date. Any Tax Return of any Acquired Company or Seller (to the extent related to the Acquired Companies) for a taxable period that includes the Closing Date shall, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, be filed on the basis that the relevant taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Where it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to apportion between Seller and Purchaser Taxes with respect to the Acquired Companies for a Straddle Period, such Taxes shall be apportioned between the period deemed to end on the Closing Date and the period deemed to begin at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date on the basis of an interim closing of the books, except that (i) exemptions, allowances, and deductions that are calculated on an annual basis and (ii) Taxes (such as real or personal property Taxes) that are imposed on a periodic basis, shall, in each case, be allocated ratably across the entire Straddle Period on a per diem basis. Seller and Purchaser agree that the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Acquired Companies for the Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall be prepared in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii) and that none of Purchaser or any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall make a ratable allocation election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2) or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Legal Requirements.

8.3 Prohibited Actions. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.1 with respect to the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) not to, (a) take any action outside of the ordinary course of business after the Closing on the Closing Date (or pursuant to a plan in existence on the Closing Date) that would reasonably be expected to increase any Tax liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates, (b) file any ruling request with any Tax Authority relating in whole or in part to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, (c) enter into or initiate any voluntary disclosure agreement with any Tax Authority relating in whole or in part to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, (d) make any election with respect to any Acquired Company or change any method of Tax accounting or any Tax accounting period of any Acquired Company, which election or change would be effective on or prior to the Closing Date, in each case, without the prior written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld) or (e) take any action outside of the ordinary course of business that would reasonably be expected to increase the amount of Specified Sales Taxes (if such Taxes are treated as Indemnified Taxes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prohibitions described in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding sentence shall not apply, and shall have no force or effect, after the Final Closing Statement becomes final and binding.

8.4 Consolidated Returns and Purchaser Consolidated Returns; Tax Proceedings. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to Section 8.1, Seller shall control any Tax Proceeding, Tax election or other Tax-related decision or determination in respect of a Consolidated Return, and Purchaser shall control any Tax Proceeding, Tax election or other Tax-related decision or determination in respect of a Purchaser Consolidated Return. Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of the commencement of any Tax Proceeding in respect of Specified Sales Taxes (if such Taxes are treated as Indemnified Taxes), and Seller shall have the right to control, at Seller’s expense, any such Tax Proceeding to the extent that such Tax Proceeding relates to Specified Sales Taxes. Purchaser shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Proceeding at Purchaser’s expense, and Seller shall not settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

8.5 Tax Matters Cooperation. Seller shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith to the extent reasonably requested by the other party in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns in connection with any Tax Proceeding or in connection with determining a liability for Taxes, in each case, related to the Acquired Companies. Such cooperation shall include, (a) with respect to any Tax Proceeding, reasonable cooperation with the requests of the applicable Tax Authority, (b) the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any of the foregoing Tax matters described in the preceding sentence and (c) making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) Seller and its Affiliates shall not be required to provide Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives with any Consolidated Return (or copy thereof), (ii) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not be required to provide Seller or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives with any Purchaser Consolidated Return (or copy thereof) and (iii) neither party shall be required to provide any information or materials the provision of which it reasonably believes in good faith would result

in the waiver of any legal privilege or work-product protection. Purchaser shall cause the Acquired Companies to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Companies related to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority. Subject to the limitations described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, Purchaser shall cause the Acquired Companies to furnish, at Seller’s sole cost and expense and in the ordinary course of business of the Acquired Companies, any Tax information related to a Consolidated Return reasonably requested by Seller for any taxable period of the Acquired Companies that includes the Closing Date; provided, that Seller shall not be required to reimburse Purchaser for any costs or expenses pursuant to this paragraph that are not reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses.

8.6 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of Purchaser and Seller shall be liable for and shall pay (or cause to be paid) when due and shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party and its Affiliates from and against fifty-percent (50%) of any Transfer Taxes imposed as a result of the sale and purchase of the Shares and the Real Estate Reorganization Plan; provided, however, that any Transfer Taxes imposed as a result of the Topaz Reorganization shall be borne solely by Seller. The party responsible under applicable Legal Requirements for filing the Tax Returns with respect to any such Transfer Taxes shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns and promptly provide a copy of such Tax Return to the other party. Seller shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate in connection with the preparation and filing of any such Tax Returns.

8.7 Indemnified Taxes. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) from and against any Taxes and Losses (without duplication) attributable to or arising from any Indemnified Taxes, other than the amount of any such Taxes resulting from or attributable to (a) any breach or violation by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) of a covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in this Article VIII or (b) any action taken on the Closing Date after the Closing by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) outside the ordinary course of business and not otherwise contemplated under this Agreement. Seller’s obligation to indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates hereunder shall be reduced by the proceeds of any recovery under any insurance policy with respect to such Taxes (after reduction for any costs and expenses, including Taxes, imposed in connection with the receipt of such proceeds). The parties agree to treat for all applicable Income Tax purposes any indemnity payment made under this Section 8.7 as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

8.8 Deferred Revenue. Purchaser and Seller agree that, for Tax purposes, Purchaser will not be deemed to receive a payment from Seller in exchange for assuming any liability in respect of deferred revenue of Seller or the Acquired Companies.

8.9 Survival. This Article VIII shall survive the Closing until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations (including extensions) applicable to the relevant Tax matter.

Article IX

EMPLOYEES

9.1 Transferred Employees. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, to an Acquired Company, the employment of each Internal Transfer Employee other than an Inactive Employee. Purchaser shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to offer employment to an Inactive Employee to the extent such employee is able to commence and presents himself for active employment within a ninety (90) day period immediately following the Closing Date. Each Company Employee who is employed by an Acquired Company as of the Closing Date and who remain so employed immediately following the Closing shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”. To the extent an Inactive Employee commences active employment with Purchaser or a Subsidiary of Purchaser after the Closing Date pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 9.1, he or she will be considered a Transferred Employee for applicable purposes of this Agreement as of such date.

9.2 Continuation Period. Subject to any applicable Legal Requirements or Contract that provide for greater benefits:

(a)For the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing Date, or for such shorter period of employment, as the case may be (the “Continuation Period”), Purchaser shall cause to be provided to the Transferred Employees (i) a base salary (or hourly base wage rate) that is at least equal to the base salary (or hourly base wage rate) provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) a target annual cash bonus or commission opportunity that is at least equal to the target annual cash bonus or commission opportunity provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (iii) long-term incentive opportunities (including equity or equity-based incentives, which shall not be considered benefits for purposes of clause (iv)) in accordance with the terms and conditions (including with respect to eligibility) of Purchaser’s long-term incentive compensation plans and (iv) employee health, welfare, retirement, fringe benefits and other benefits (excluding any retention, transaction or nonqualified deferred compensation (the “Excluded Benefits”)) that are no less favorable in the aggregate (including a combination of benefits and compensation) than the employee health, welfare, retirement, fringe benefits and other benefits (other than the Excluded Benefits) provided to the Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date under the Benefit Plans set forth on Schedule 4.14(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and the Benefit Plans as may be adopted or entered into following the date hereof, as permitted under this Agreement;

(b)In the event of termination of the employment of any Transferred Employee during the Continuation Period, Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to such Transferred Employee severance pay and benefits no less favorable than the greater of the severance pay and benefits to which such Transferred Employee (i) would have been entitled immediately prior to the Closing Date under any applicable Benefit Plan set forth on Schedule 4.14(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and (ii) is entitled under any applicable severance plan, policy, practice or arrangement of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates on the actual date of termination of the Transferred Employee’s employment;

(c)Purchaser shall cause its applicable Controlled Affiliates (including any Acquired Company) to, give each Transferred Employee credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, level of paid time off benefits, and vesting (but not benefit accruals, except for benefit accruals under the Business Pension Plan) under each employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement maintained and made available for the benefit of Transferred Employees as of and after the Closing Date by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries, for such Transferred Employee’s service prior to the Closing Date with Seller and its applicable Controlled Affiliates and their respective predecessors, to the same extent and for the same purpose as such service is recognized by Seller and its applicable Controlled Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date under the Acquired Company Benefit Plan or Seller Benefit Plan; provided that such credit shall not be given to the extent that it would result in a duplication of benefits or coverage for the same period of service; and

(d)Purchaser shall cause its applicable Controlled Affiliates (including any Acquired Company) to, for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any limitation on health and welfare coverage of such Transferred Employees due to pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, active employment requirements, and requirements to show evidence of good health under any applicable group health plan of Purchaser or any of its Controlled Affiliates (including any Acquired Company) to the extent such Transferred Employees were covered under a comparable Benefit Plan that is a group health plan immediately prior to the Closing Date and such limitations did not apply to such Transferred Employee under the applicable Benefit Plan and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to credit each such Transferred Employee with all deductible payments, co-payments and co-insurance paid by (and credited to) such employee under any Benefit Plan that is a group medical plan prior to the Closing Date during the year in which the Closing Date occurs for the purpose of determining the extent to which any such employee has satisfied the corresponding applicable deductible and whether such employee has reached the corresponding out-of-pocket maximum under any comparable group medical plan of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries for such year.

9.3 Seller Benefit Plan Participation; M&A Qualified Beneficiaries; Certain Benefits for Transferred Employees. Effective as of the Closing Date (or such later date as provided under the terms of the Seller Benefit Plans or contemplated under Section 9.1), the Transferred Employees shall no longer actively participate in any Seller Benefit Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller or its Controlled Affiliates shall retain all liabilities with respect to claims incurred by each Transferred Employee prior to the Closing Date under those Seller Benefit Plans that provide medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage, life, accidental death and dismemberment, disability and business travel accident insurance. For purposes of this Section 9.3, the following claims shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (a) with respect to life, disability and accidental death and dismemberment benefits, upon the event giving rise to such benefits and (b) with respect to medical, dental, vision care, prescription and health-related benefits, upon provision of medical, dental, vision, prescription and health-related services, materials or supplies. From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser and its ERISA Affiliates shall be solely responsible for any and all obligations arising under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (or state law equivalents) with respect to each Transferred Employee (and qualifying dependents thereof) who is an “M&A qualified beneficiary” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 54.4980B-9) in connection with the Transactions. Effective as of or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Purchaser or its applicable Controlled Affiliate shall provide, under its

applicable health and life insurance plans, health and life insurance benefits to eligible Transferred Employees who are receiving salary replacement benefits under Seller’s long-term disability insurance policy for the same duration as such health and life insurance benefits would have been provided to such Transferred Employee under the terms of the applicable Seller Benefit Plans (“Assumed Disability Health Benefits”).

9.4 Qualified Retirement Plans.

(a)Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, have in effect a defined contribution retirement plan that is tax-qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”). Each Transferred Employee who is a participant immediately prior to the Closing Date in a Seller Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution retirement plan and is tax-qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (each, a “Seller 401(k) Plan”) shall have the opportunity to enroll in the Purchaser 401(k) Plan as of, or as soon as administratively practicable after (but no later than the third payroll following), the Closing Date. The parties shall take all actions necessary to permit the direct rollover in cash (and outstanding loan promissory notes for participant loans, if applicable) of account balances of Transferred Employees from the Seller 401(k) Plan to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan, by each Transferred Employee who elects such direct rollover in accordance with the terms of the Seller 401(k) Plan and the Code. Each Transferred Employee who is not a participant in the Seller 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the Closing shall be permitted to enroll in the Purchaser 401(k) Plan on or after the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Purchaser 401(k) Plan.

(b)Seller and its Controlled Affiliates shall take all actions necessary and appropriate to, (i) cause all Transferred Employees who participate in any Seller Benefit Plans that are intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code to be fully vested in their account balances and accrued benefits under such Seller Benefit Plans as of the Closing Date, (ii) cause the employees of Seller or its Controlled Affiliates (other than an Acquired Company) set forth on Schedule 9.4(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule who are not Transferred Employees to be fully vested in their accrued benefits under the Business Pension Plan as of the Closing Date and (iii) as soon as administratively practicable following the Closing Date, make all employer contributions to the Seller 401(k) Plan that would have been made on behalf of such Transferred Employees had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred, regardless of any service or end of year employment requirements, but prorated for the portion of the plan year that ends on the Closing Date; provided that the Seller 401(k) Plan performance sharing match contribution shall be calculated as if it was an Assumed Incentive Amount and, for the avoidance of doubt, will be contributed to the Seller 401(k) Plan by Seller.

(c)Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate to take any and all commercially reasonable measures needed to prevent, to the extent reasonably possible, a deemed distribution or loan offset with respect to outstanding loans under the Seller 401(k) Plan with respect to Transferred Employees, including without limitation (i) permitting Transferred Employees with an outstanding loan balance under the Seller 401(k) to continue to make scheduled loan payments to the Seller 401(k) Plan after the Closing or (ii) at the discretion of the Seller, allowing such

Transferred Employees to elect to rollover their loan balances in-kind to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan during a limited rollover window.

(d)With respect to the Business Pension Plan, (i) Seller shall timely make to the trust under the Business Pension Plan any payments of minimum required contributions (as determined by the actuaries of the Business Pension Plan in accordance with the requirements of Sections 412 and 430 of the Code and Section 302 of ERISA) that have payment due dates that fall prior to the Closing Date and (ii) Purchaser or its applicable Controlled Affiliate (including, after the Closing, an Acquired Company) shall timely make to the trust under the Business Pension Plan any payments of minimum required contributions (as determined by the actuaries of the Business Pension Plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 412 and 430 of the Code and Section 302 of ERISA) that have payment due dates after the Closing Date, in each case, regardless of the plan year for which such minimum required contribution payment relates.

9.5 FSAs. The parties hereto agree to make reasonable, good faith efforts to implement, as of or as soon as administratively practicable after the Closing Date, a transfer of Transferred Employees’ health and dependent care flexible spending accounts from the health and dependent care flexible spending account plans of Seller to the health and dependent care flexible spending account plans of Purchaser, taking into account the complexity of transferring flexible spending accounts, the date Closing occurs in the calendar year, and whether the costs and administrative complexities of such transfer outweigh the benefit to the Transferred Employees taken as a whole.

9.6 Annual Cash Bonuses; Similar Benefits. Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, assume and pay on a pro rata basis all unpaid cash bonuses earned or accrued as of the Closing Date under the Benefit Plans set forth on Schedule 9.6 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Incentive-Based Programs”) for and in respect of each Transferred Employee (the “Assumed Incentive Amount”), which shall be paid at such time as such amounts would have been paid to the Transferred Employees under the applicable Incentive-Based Program. The Assumed Incentive Amount shall be determined for each Transferred Employee (a) based on target performance levels, if the Closing occurs in the first three (3) months of the applicable fiscal year and (b) based on the most recently approved performance projections available as of the Closing Date if the Closing occurs at any time other than the first three (3) months of the applicable fiscal year. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 9.6 are subject to the inclusion of the Assumed Incentive Amount (together with the employer portion of any payroll, social security, unemployment or similar Taxes associated with the Assumed Incentive Amount) in Net Working Capital. Purchaser shall provide such bonus eligible Transferred Employees with the opportunity to earn cash incentives for the remainder of the fiscal year after the Closing Date, which cash incentives shall be governed by the cash incentive plans or programs maintained by Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) in Purchaser’s discretion, subject to Purchaser’s obligations under Section 9.2(a).

9.7 Vacation and Paid Time Off. To the extent permitted pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall (a) with respect to each (i) Direct Employee who becomes a Transferred Employee, recognize and honor and (ii) Internal Transfer Employee who becomes a Transferred Employee, credit with, and assume all liabilities for, in each case, the amount of accrued but unused vacation time, paid time off and other time-off benefits, if any, as

such Transferred Employee had with any Acquired Company, Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates, as applicable, as of immediately prior to the Closing Date to the extent such amounts are reflected in Net Working Capital and (b) permit each Transferred Employee to use such accrued but unused vacation time, paid time off and other time-off benefits in the same manner and upon the same terms and conditions as the Transferred Employee would have been so permitted under the terms and conditions of the applicable policies of any Acquired Company, Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates, as applicable, in effect for the year in which such Closing Date occurs.

9.8 Communications. Prior to the Closing Date, except as otherwise approved in advance and in writing by Seller, Purchaser shall not make any written or oral communications to Company Employees pertaining to the transfer of Company Employees, any compensation or benefits matters, or any redundancy and layoff plans, in each case, that may affect Company Employees in connection with the Transactions.

9.9 Seller Long-Term Incentive Awards. Seller and its Controlled Affiliates shall remain solely responsible for all liabilities and obligations with respect to any equity awards relating to shares of Seller’s common stock and any long-term cash-based awards that are held by Transferred Employees (or any director, officer, employee, consultant, or independent contractor of Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates who is not a Transferred Employee) and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date to the extent such equity awards and long-term cash-based awards are not forfeited upon the Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions of any Seller Benefit Plan.

9.10 Deferred Compensation Plans. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall establish a mirror plan (each, a “Mirror Plan”) for each Benefit Plan that is a non-tax qualified deferred compensation plan set forth on Schedule 9.10(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and in which the Transferred Employees participate as of the Closing Date (each, a “Seller Deferred Compensation Plan”). Each Mirror Plan shall be subject to Purchaser’s review and comment, and Seller shall take Purchaser’s comments into account in good faith. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall transfer all liabilities and obligations related to the Transferred Employees from a Seller Deferred Compensation Plan to a Mirror Plan. At the Closing, Purchaser shall assume each Mirror Plan, and all liabilities and obligations related to the Transferred Employees under each Mirror Plan, which liabilities are set forth on Schedule 9.10(b), and which schedule shall be updated by Seller to reflect current liabilities and obligations as of the Closing (the “Assumed Deferred Compensation”). Prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide to Purchaser details relating to the accounts and liabilities of each Transferred Employee who participates in a Mirror Plan and all information necessary to administer the Mirror Plans, including the terms relating to distribution of such Transferred Employees’ accounts. From and following the Closing, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall be liable for such Transferred Employees’ accounts and shall be responsible for payment of account balances under the Mirror Plans when payable pursuant thereto. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 9.10 are subject to the inclusion of the Assumed Deferred Compensation (together with the employer portion of any payroll, social security, unemployment or similar Taxes associated with the Assumed Deferred Compensation calculated as if all such amounts were paid at the Closing without regard to any Social Security wage base limits) in Indebtedness. Seller shall remain responsible for all liabilities associated with the Seller Deferred Compensation Plans other than the Assumed Deferred Compensation.

9.11 Employee Liabilities. Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that, effective as of the Closing Date, (a) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, assume all liabilities and obligations (i) arising out of, relating to or resulting from the employment or termination of employment of any Company Employee and Former Company Employee (solely with respect to any period during which such Former Company Employee’s regular employment duties or responsibilities were primarily dedicated or primarily related to the Business), in each case, whenever incurred, but other than any such liabilities and obligations related to any Seller Benefit Plan, whenever incurred (unless otherwise expressly assumed by Purchaser or its Affiliates under this Article IX, (ii) arising out of, relating to or resulting from any Acquired Company Benefit Plan whenever incurred and (iii) expressly assumed by Purchaser or its Affiliates in accordance with the provisions of this Article IX and (b) other than the liabilities assumed by Purchaser or its Affiliates in the foregoing clause (a), Seller shall, or shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, retain and perform (i) all liabilities, claims and obligations arising under any Seller Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, policy, contract or arrangement of any kind at any time maintained, sponsored or contributed to or required to be contributed by Seller or any ERISA Affiliate thereof, whenever incurred and (ii) all other liabilities and obligations expressly retained by Seller or its Controlled Affiliates in accordance with the provisions of this Article IX. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, any Acquired Company) shall have any obligation to provide retiree medical or retiree life insurance benefits to any Transferred Employee, Company Employee, Former Company Employee, or dependent or beneficiary of any such individual, nor shall Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, any Acquired Company) assume any of Seller’s liabilities or obligations related to such retiree benefits, including under a Seller Benefit Plan.

9.12 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained in this Article IX, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person not a party hereto (including any Company Employee or any beneficiary thereof) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, any right to a particular term or condition of employment or any right to any specific compensation or benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does: (i) constitute the establishment of, termination of or an amendment to any Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, agreement or arrangement or (ii) limit the right of any party to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates to establish, terminate or amend any Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, agreement or arrangement.

(b)by Seller, if Purchaser shall have breached any representation or warranty or failed to comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to Purchaser that in each case would cause any Closing Condition set forth in Section 10.2 not to be satisfied and such (i) Closing Condition is incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date or (ii) breach or failure to perform has not been cured on or prior to the earlier of (A) the date that is thirty (30) days from the date that Purchaser is notified in writing by Seller of such breach or failure to perform and (B) the day prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(b) shall not be available to Seller if Seller is then in material breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that would result in a failure of a Closing Condition set forth in Section 10.1 not to be satisfied;

(c)by Purchaser, if Seller shall have breached any representation or warranty or failed to comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to Seller that in each case would cause any Closing Condition set forth in Section 10.1 not to be satisfied and such (i) Closing Condition is incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date or (ii) breach or failure to perform has not been cured on or prior to the earlier of (A) the date that is thirty (30) days from the date that Seller is notified in writing by Purchaser of such breach or failure to perform and (B) the day prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(c) shall not be available to Purchaser if Purchaser is then in material breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that would result in a failure of a Closing Condition set forth in Section 10.2 not to be satisfied;

(d)by either Seller or Purchaser, if the Closing has not occurred by the date that is twelve (12) months after the date hereof (as may be extended pursuant to this proviso that follows, the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(d) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of the failure of the Closing to occur by the Outside Date; provided, further, that, if on the date that would have been the Outside Date, the conditions set forth in Section 10.3 (with respect to Section 10.3(b), solely to the extent such condition has not been satisfied due to an Order or Legal Requirement arising under Antitrust Laws or the Legal Requirements covered under Section 10.3(a), Section 10.3(c), Section 10.3(d) or Section 10.3(e)) are the only conditions in Article X (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, provided that each such condition would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at such time) that shall not have been satisfied on or before such date, then Seller or Purchaser may extend the Outside Date by six (6) months upon delivering written notice to the other party;

(e)by either Seller or Purchaser in the event that any Governmental Authority of competent authority and jurisdiction shall have issued an Order or enacted a Legal Requirement

that permanently enjoins or otherwise makes illegal or prohibits the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and such Order or other Legal Requirement shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(e) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of the issuance of such Order or the imposition of such other Legal Requirement; or

(f)by Seller, if:

(1)all of the Closing Conditions set forth in Section 10.1 and Section 10.3 have been satisfied (or duly waived by Purchaser) (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, provided that each such condition would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at such time), and Purchaser fails to consummate the Transactions at the time the Closing was required to occur under Section 3.1;

(2)Seller has irrevocably certified in writing to Purchaser that (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 10.2 and Section 10.3 have been satisfied (or duly waived by Seller) (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, provided that each such condition would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at such time) and (B) Seller is ready, prepared, willing and able to consummate the Transactions on such date of notice and at all times during the three (3) Business Day period immediately thereafter; and

(3)Purchaser fails to consummate the Closing within the three (3) Business Day period following the date of delivery of such written certification by Seller pursuant to clause (ii) above.

11.2 Notice of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1, written notice of such termination shall be given by the terminating party to the other party (setting forth a reasonably detailed description of the basis on which such party is terminating the Agreement).

11.3 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 11.1 and Section 11.2, all rights and obligations of the parties shall terminate without any liability of any party or other Person; provided that (a) the rights and obligations of the parties under Section 6.7 (Confidentiality), Section 6.10 (Financing Cooperation) (with respect to the confidentiality, reimbursement and indemnification obligations of Purchaser therein), this Section 11.3 (Effect of Termination), Section 11.4 (Purchaser Termination Fee), Article XII (Miscellaneous Provisions) and the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement and (b) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for Willful Breach of any covenant or agreement contained herein occurring prior to termination or for Fraud, in which case the aggrieved party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

11.4 Purchaser Termination Fee.

(a)In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.1(d) or Section 11.1(e) (but, with respect to Section 11.1(e), only if the

applicable Order or Legal Requirement arises under Antitrust Laws or the Legal Requirements covered under Section 10.3(a), Section 10.3(c), Section 10.3(d) or Section 10.3(e)) if, in each case, at the time of such termination, at least one condition set forth in Section 10.3 (with respect to Section 10.3(b), solely to the extent such condition has not been satisfied due to an Order or Legal Requirement arising under Antitrust Laws or the Legal Requirements covered under Section 10.3(a), Section 10.3(c), Section 10.3(d) or Section 10.3(e)) shall not have been satisfied; then, in each case, Purchaser shall pay to Seller a termination fee of one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) in cash (the “Purchaser Termination Fee”).

(b)Any payment required to be made pursuant to Section 11.4(a) shall be made to Seller promptly following termination of this Agreement (and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days following the termination of this Agreement). Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller at least three (3) Business Days prior to the payment date.

(c)Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the agreement contained in this Section 11.4 is an integral part of the Transactions and that, without this agreement, Seller would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Purchaser fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 11.4, and, in order to obtain such payment, Seller commences a Proceeding against Purchaser for the Purchaser Termination Fee, Purchaser shall pay to Seller its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such Proceeding, together with interest on the amount of the Purchaser Termination Fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal).

(d)Except for Seller’s right of specific performance to the extent permitted by Section 12.10, (x) Seller’s right to receive the Purchaser Termination Fee when payable pursuant to Section 11.4(a), together with any related costs, expenses and interest payable pursuant to Section 11.4(c), shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives against Purchaser or any of its former, current and future Affiliates, their respective Representatives, and the respective successors and assigns of the foregoing Persons, in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the Transactions, including for any Proceeding, Liabilities and Losses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) suffered or incurred by Seller arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the Transactions, including the termination of this agreement or any breach of this Agreement by Purchaser), Seller shall not bring nor permit any of its Controlled Affiliates or their respective Representatives, or any successor or assign of any of the foregoing Persons, to bring any Proceeding against Purchaser or any of its former, current and future Affiliates, their respective Representatives, and the respective successors and assigns of the foregoing Persons seeking such Liabilities or Losses suffered or incurred as a result of or under, or otherwise relating to or arising out of, this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the Transactions, including the termination of this agreement or any breach of this Agreement by Purchaser and (y) upon the payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee, together with any related costs, expenses and interest payable pursuant to Section 11.4(c), none of Purchaser or any of its former, current and future Affiliates, their respective Representatives, and the respective successors and assigns of the foregoing Persons, shall have any further Liability or other obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the Transactions; provided, that Purchaser

shall remain obligated with respect to the Non-Disclosure Agreement, pursuant to Section 12.1 and pursuant to Section 6.10 (with respect to the confidentiality, reimbursement and indemnification obligations of Purchaser therein). Purchaser’s former, current and future Affiliates, their respective Representatives, and the respective successors and assigns of the foregoing Persons are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 11.4(d).

(e)The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) in no event shall Purchaser be required to pay the Purchaser Termination Fee on more than one occasion and (ii) any payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee is not a penalty but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller in the circumstances in which such fees are payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

Article XII

This Agreement, the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the Non-Disclosure Agreement, the Clean Team Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, including the other documents, agreements, exhibits and schedules specifically referred to herein and therein, constitute the entire agreement between and among the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings with regard to such subject matter.

12.5 Amendment and Waivers. This Agreement shall not be amended or modified, in whole or in part, except by supplemental agreement or amendment signed by Seller and Purchaser. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right or remedy provided by Legal Requirement or under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or operate or be construed as a waiver or variation of it or preclude its exercise at any subsequent time and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise of it or the exercise of any other remedy. The waiver by any party of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any other provision or any subsequent breach.

manner that is adverse to a Debt Financing Source, without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Source (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.6, no assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder.

12.7 Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights of the parties and all Proceedings arising in whole or in part under or in connection herewith, will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

12.8 Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process.

(a)Each of the parties, by its execution hereof, hereby (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Chancery Court (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court declines to accept jurisdiction, any United States District Court located in the State of Delaware or any state court of the State of Delaware) for the purpose of any Proceeding among any of the parties relating to or arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or the Transactions, (ii) waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such Proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such Proceeding brought in one of the above-named courts should be dismissed on grounds of forum non conveniens, should be transferred or removed to any court other than one of the above-named courts, or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other Proceeding in any other court other than one of the above-named courts or that this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (iii) agrees not to commence any such Proceeding other than before one of the above-named courts. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, a party may commence any Proceeding in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an Order issued by one of the above-named courts.

(b)Each of the parties (i) consents to service of process in any Proceeding among any of the parties relating to or arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or the Transactions in any manner permitted by Delaware law, (ii) agrees that service of process made in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) or made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 12.14, will constitute good and valid service of process in any such Proceeding and (iii) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise) in any such Proceeding any claim that service of process made in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) or (ii) does not constitute good and valid service of process. This Section 12.8 shall not apply to any dispute that is required to be decided by the Settlement Accountant.

(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no party, nor any of its Controlled Affiliates, shall bring, or support, any action, whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Debt Financing Source in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements executed in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, anywhere other than in a court of England and any such action shall be governed by English law. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties (on behalf of itself and its respective Controlled Affiliates) (A) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts for the purpose of any action described in this Section 12.8(c) and (B) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action is improper or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by such courts in any such action described in this Section 12.8(c).

12.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS (INCLUDING ANY LITIGATION AGAINST ANY DEBT FINANCING SOURCE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE DEBT COMMITMENT LETTER), WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS AND THAT SUCH PROCEEDINGS WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

12.10 Specific Performance.

(a)Each party acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, (i) the other party will be irreparably damaged and (ii) such party would not have any adequate remedy at law and would not be adequately compensated by monetary damages. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which a party may be entitled, at law or in equity, that party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to compel specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including to require the other party to consummate the Closing as contemplated hereby, which shall include the obligation of Purchaser to bring a Proceeding against any Debt Financing Sources, to the extent necessary to cause such Debt Financing Sources to provide funds in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letter if such Debt Financing Sources’ failure to provide such funds is preventing the Closing) without (A) the need for proof of actual damages and (B) the requirement of securing or posting any bond or other security or indemnity. Furthermore, each party irrevocably waives and agrees not to raise any objections or defenses that the equitable remedy of specific performance is (1) unavailable to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement or to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement (including to require the other party to consummate the Closing as contemplated hereby), (2) invalid, (3) unenforceable, (4) contrary to law or (5) inequitable for any reason, or that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy.

(b)For the avoidance of doubt, while Seller may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with this Section 12.10 and the payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.4, under no circumstances shall Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance for the consummation of the Transactions and any such Purchaser Termination Fee.

12.11 Severability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is severable, such that if any such provision is held to be or becomes invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Legal Requirements of any jurisdiction, it shall have no effect in that respect in such jurisdiction and the parties shall use all reasonable efforts to replace it in that respect with a valid and enforceable substitute provision the effect of which is as close to its intended effect as possible.

12.12 Certain Releases.

(a)From and after, and subject to the occurrence of, the Closing, and to the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirement: (i) Purchaser, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) and its and their respective successors and assigns of the foregoing, in each case in their capacity as such (each, a “Purchaser Releasing Party”), acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, any and all rights, claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, actions and causes of action whatsoever (in each case, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, known or unknown, or due or to become due, express or implied, in law or in equity, or based on contract, tort or otherwise) it has, had, may have or may have had against Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies), or any of its or their respective past, present and future Representatives or other representatives, and all successors, assigns, executors and heirs of the foregoing, in each case in their capacity as such (each, a “Seller Releasee”) and (ii) Seller, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and

their respective successors and assigns of the foregoing, in each case in their capacity as such (each, a “Seller Releasing Party”), acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, any and all rights, claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, actions and causes of action whatsoever (in each case, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, known or unknown, or due or to become due, express or implied, in law or in equity, or based on contract, tort or otherwise) it has, had, may have or may have had against Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies), or any of its or their respective past, present and future Representatives or other representatives, and all successors, assigns, executors and heirs of the foregoing, in each case in their capacity as such (each, a “Purchaser Releasee”), now or in the future, in case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent relating to, arising out of or in connection with Seller and its Controlled Affiliates’ ownership or operation of, or involvement with, in each case in respect of periods at or prior to the Closing, the Acquired Companies or the Business (collectively, the “Released Matters”), whether arising under, or based upon, any Legal Requirement (including common law) or otherwise (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law) are, in each case, hereby knowingly, voluntarily, irrevocably and unconditionally waived, released, discharged and relinquished; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 12.12 or otherwise shall limit in any respect the rights of any of Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements or any such other schedule, annex, exhibit, Seller Disclosure Schedule, certificate or other document or agreement entered into, made, delivered or made available in connection herewith or entered into after the Closing. Furthermore, without limiting the generality of this Section 12.12, from and after the Closing, no demand, claim or cause of action will be brought or maintained by, or on behalf of, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) against any Seller Releasee, or Seller or any of its Affiliates against any Purchaser Releasee, and no recourse will be sought or granted against any of them, by virtue of, or based upon, the Released Matters; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 12.12 or otherwise shall limit in any respect the rights of any of Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements or any such other schedule, annex, exhibit, Seller Disclosure Schedule, certificate or other document or agreement entered into, made, delivered or made available in connection herewith or entered into after the Closing. Purchaser acknowledges, for itself and on behalf of the other Purchaser Releasing Parties, and Seller acknowledges, for itself and on behalf of the other Seller Releasing Parties, that the Legal Requirements of certain states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.” Purchaser acknowledges, for itself and on behalf of the other Purchaser Releasing Parties, and Seller acknowledges, for itself and on behalf of the other Seller Releasing Parties, that such Legal Requirements are designed to protect a Person from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, Purchaser knowingly and irrevocably acknowledges and agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Purchaser Releasing Parties, that, from and after the Closing, Purchaser and the other Purchaser Releasing Parties shall be deemed to waive their rights under any such Legal Requirements as and to the extent set forth

in this Section 12.12(a), and Seller knowingly and irrevocably acknowledges and agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Seller Releasing Parties, that, from and after the Closing, Seller and the other Seller Releasing Parties shall be deemed to waive their rights under any such Legal Requirements as and to the extent set forth in this Section 12.12(a); provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 12.12 or otherwise shall limit in any respect the rights of any of Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements or any such other schedule, annex, exhibit, Seller Disclosure Schedule, certificate or other document or agreement entered into, made, delivered or made available in connection herewith or entered into after the Closing.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (except Section 12.21), Purchaser and Seller each acknowledges and agrees that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any Seller Releasee (other than Seller) or any Purchaser Releasee (other than Purchaser), as applicable, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Legal Requirement, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Seller Releasee (other than Seller) for any obligation of Seller under this Agreement or any documents or instructions delivered in connection with this Agreement or by any Purchaser Releasee (other than Purchaser) for any obligation of Purchaser under this Agreement or any documents or instructions delivered in connection with this Agreement, as applicable, for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller, for itself and on behalf of its Controlled Affiliates, and its and their respective Representatives, hereby waives any rights, claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, actions and causes of action against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing, in each case, in respect of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether at law or in equity, and Seller, for itself and on behalf of its Controlled Affiliates, and its and their respective Representatives, agrees not to commence any Proceeding against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing, in each case, in respect of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether at law or in equity. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waiver, Seller, for itself and on behalf of its Controlled Affiliates, and its and their respective Representatives, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Debt Financing Source shall have any liability for any claims or damages to Seller or its Controlled Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12.12(c) shall limit, impair or otherwise modify (i) the rights of any of the parties to the Debt Commitment Letter (including Purchaser or its Affiliates party to the Debt Commitment Letter and their respective successors and assigns) set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof or (ii) any liability or obligation of any of the Debt Financing Sources, or any of the rights of Purchaser or its Affiliates under any of the definitive documentation with respect to the Debt Financing.

12.13 The Seller Disclosure Schedule, Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits. The Seller Disclosure Schedule and the schedules, annexes and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein.

12.15 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 6.10(b) (with respect to Seller’s Affiliates and Seller’s and its Affiliates’ respective Representatives), Section 6.13(b) (with respect to Purchaser’s Affiliates and Purchaser and its Affiliates’ respective former and current Representatives), Section 7.3 (with respect to the D&O Indemnitees and their respective successors, heirs and legal representatives), the DFS Provisions (to the extent they apply to the Debt Financing Sources), the provisions of Section 11.4(d) (which shall be enforceable by Purchaser’s former, current and future Affiliates, their respective Representatives, and the respective successors and assigns of the foregoing Persons), the provisions of Section 12.12 (which shall be enforceable by the Seller Releasees and the Purchaser Releasees) and Section 12.16 (with respect to Skadden and Axinn), a Person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right to enforce any of its terms and this Agreement is not intended to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their permitted assigns any rights hereunder.

12.16 Provision Regarding Legal Representation. It is acknowledged by each party that Seller has retained Skadden and Axinn to act as its counsel in connection with the Transactions

and that neither Skadden nor Axinn has acted as counsel for any other party in connection with such Transactions. The parties agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closings between Seller or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser, any Acquired Company or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, Skadden or Axinn (or both) may represent Seller and its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of Seller and its Affiliates may be directly adverse to Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or their respective Affiliates, and even though Skadden or Axinn may have represented any of the Acquired Companies or any of their Affiliates in a matter substantially related to such dispute prior to the Closing or may be handling ongoing matters for Purchaser, any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates. Purchaser further agrees that all communications among Seller, the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates (in the case of the Acquired Companies and their Affiliates, solely prior to the Closing), on the one hand, and their counsel, including in-house counsel, Skadden and Axinn, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the Transactions shall be deemed attorney-client privileged communications (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”) and the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Seller and may be controlled by Seller and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser, any Acquired Company or any of their Affiliates. The Privileged Communications are (and upon the Closing shall remain) the property of Seller. As to any such Privileged Communications made prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser, together with its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies), successors and assigns, further agrees that no such party may access, obtain, use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications for any purpose without a waiver of the attorney-client privilege, which waiver shall be in Seller’s sole discretion. The Privileged Communications may be used by Seller in connection with any dispute that relates in any way to the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser, any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and any other Person or Persons (other than a party to this Agreement or any of its respective Affiliates), on the other hand, after the Closing, such Acquired Company and its Affiliates may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of the Privileged Communications to such Person or Persons; provided, however, that none of the Acquired Companies nor their Affiliates may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller.

12.17 No Other Duties. The only duties and obligations of the parties under this Agreement are as specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no other duties or obligations shall be implied in fact, Legal Requirement or equity, or under any principle of fiduciary obligation.

12.18 Reliance on Counsel and Other Advisors. Each party has consulted such legal, financial, technical or other experts as it deems necessary or desirable before entering into this Agreement.

12.19 Public Announcements. None of Seller or its Controlled Affiliates, Purchaser or its Affiliates or any Representative of any such party shall issue or cause the publication of any press release, public announcement or other public communication in respect of this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except (a) as may be required by Legal Requirement or stock exchange rules or as the disclosing party deems necessary or advisable to comply with its SEC (or applicable foreign securities laws) filing requirements, in which case the party seeking to publish such press release, public announcement or other public communication

shall use reasonable efforts to provide the other party a reasonable opportunity to comment on such press release, public announcement or other public communication in advance of such publication; provided that the foregoing will not restrict or prohibit Purchaser or Seller from making any announcement in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement to its respective employees, customers and other business relations (in each case, in their capacities as such) to the extent that such party reasonably determines in good faith that such announcement is necessary or advisable, but only to the extent the content of which is consistent with that of any prior public announcement made in compliance with this Section 12.19 or (b) to the extent the contents of such press release, public announcement or other public communication or filing have previously been released publicly by a party or are consistent in all material respects with materials or disclosures that have previously been released publicly, in each case, without violation of this Section 12.19. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12.19 shall not apply to the disclosure of the express terms of this Agreement in any public filings required by Legal Requirement, stock exchange rules, U.K. listed company rules or SEC (or applicable foreign securities laws) filing requirements.

12.20 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, including electronic scan copies thereof delivered by electronic mail, each of which shall be deemed an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

12.21 Purchaser Guarantor.

(a)To induce Seller to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Seller, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the due and punctual payment of the Purchase Price by Purchaser (or any Purchaser Designee) under Article II of this Agreement, in each case in accordance with and solely if, as and when required by the terms of this Agreement (the “Obligations”). Purchaser Guarantor agrees that its Obligations under this Section 12.21 are irrevocable, continuing, absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by, and Purchaser Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses to enforcement it may have (now or in the future) by reason of (i) any illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any Obligation or this Agreement or any related agreement or instrument, or any Legal Requirement or Order of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of the Obligations; (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment or performance of, or in any other term of the Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, release, assignment, amendment or other modification of this Agreement except to the extent Seller has consented thereto; (iii) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment, amendment, waiver, modification or non-perfection of any collateral or any other guaranty for the Obligations, or any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any collateral or other assets to all or part of the Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; (v) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure, ownership or existence of Purchaser Guarantor or Purchaser (or any Purchaser Designee) or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Purchaser (or any Purchaser Designee) or its (or their) assets or any resulting restructuring, release or discharge of any Obligations; (vi) the failure of Seller to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise; or (vii) the existence of any claim, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment

or other rights that Purchaser Guarantor or Purchaser (or any Purchaser Designee) may have against Seller (other than a defense of payment or performance); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.21 to the contrary, Purchaser Guarantor does not waive any defenses to the payment of the Obligations that are available to Purchaser under the express terms of this Agreement.

(b)Purchaser Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

(1)Purchaser Guarantor is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Legal Requirements of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.

(2)Purchaser Guarantor has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement to which it is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and under each other Transaction Agreement to which it is a party and to consummate the Transactions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser Guarantor of this Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement to which it is a party and the consummation of the Transactions have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Purchaser Guarantor and such authorization has not been subsequently modified or rescinded.

(3)This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Purchaser Guarantor and constitutes, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller, a valid and binding legal obligation of Purchaser Guarantor, enforceable against Purchaser Guarantor in accordance with the terms hereof. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of each other Transaction Agreement to which Purchaser Guarantor is a party by the other parties thereto, each such Transaction Agreement will constitute a valid and binding legal obligation of Purchaser Guarantor, enforceable against Purchaser Guarantor in accordance with the terms thereof.

(4)The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser Guarantor of this Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement to which Purchaser Guarantor is a party and the consummation of the Transactions does not conflict with, violate or result in a breach of any Contract, Legal Requirement or Order applicable to Purchaser Guarantor, except for such conflicts, violations or breaches that would not materially adversely affect or delay the ability of Purchaser Guarantor to pay the Obligations.

(c)Purchaser Guarantor further acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(1)Purchaser Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Section 12.21 and acknowledges that this Section 12.21 is continuing in nature and applies to all presently existing and future Obligations, until the complete, irrevocable and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of the Obligations or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1.

(2)This Section 12.21 is a direct guaranty and independent of the obligations of Purchaser (or any Purchaser Designee) under this Agreement. Seller may

resort to Purchaser Guarantor for payment and performance of the Obligations whether or not Seller shall have proceeded against Purchaser (or any Purchaser Designee) with respect to the Obligations. Seller may, at Seller’s option, proceed against Purchaser Guarantor and Purchaser (or any Purchaser Designee), jointly and severally, or against Purchaser Guarantor only without having obtained a judgment against Purchaser (or any Purchaser Designee).

(3)Purchaser Guarantor agrees that its guaranty hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time all or part of any payment of any Obligation is voided, rescinded or recovered or must otherwise be returned by Seller upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Purchaser (or any Purchaser Designee).

(d)Purchaser Guarantor waives and shall not exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnification for payments made under this Section 12.21 until all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid and discharged in full. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser Guarantor shall not be deemed to be a party to this Agreement for purposes of any provisions other than this Section 12.21.
