MCCLURG, both in his individual capacity and in his capacity as the trustee of the McClurg Trust (“McClurg”), LOUIS W. HUTCHISON, JR., both in his individual capacity and in his capacity as the trustee of the Hutchison Trust (“Hutchison” and, together with McClurg, the “HTDS Beneficial Owners” and individually, each a “HTDS Beneficial Owner”), and HTDS, as the Sellers’ Agent (as defined in Section 12.1).

HTDS owns all of the issued and outstanding Class A Units, and ABRY owns all of the issued and outstanding Class C Preferred Units (together with all of the issued and outstanding Class A Units, the “Acquired Units”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser desires to acquire from the Sellers all of the Acquired Units, and the Sellers desire to sell to Purchaser all of the Acquired Units.
B.Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Class B Award Agreements, all of the issued and outstanding Class B Units shall be redeemed by the Company concurrently with the Closing, such that, immediately following the Closing, Purchaser will own 100% of the outstanding Units of the Company.
C.The HTDS Members are the only holders of outstanding equity interests of HTDS. Each of the HTDS Members and HTDS Beneficial Owners will substantially and materially benefit from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION
1.1 Purchase and Sale of Acquired Units. At the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Seller shall (and, with respect to HTDS, each of the HTDS Members and HTDS Beneficial Owners shall cause HTDS to) sell, assign, transfer and convey to Purchaser,
1
and Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from each Seller, all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Acquired Units owned by such Seller, as set forth on Schedule 1.1 hereto, free and clear from all Encumbrances, in consideration for payment of the Purchase Price (as defined in Section 1.2(a)).
1.2 Purchase Price.
(a) Purchase Price. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the aggregate consideration payable by Purchaser (or an Affiliate of Purchaser) in respect of the Units (the “Purchase Price”) shall be equal to: (a) $250,000,000 in cash (the “Aggregate Transaction Value”), minus (b) the aggregate amount of all unpaid Company Transaction Expenses as of immediately prior to the Closing, minus (c) the Closing Indebtedness Amount, plus (d) the amount by which the Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Targeted Net Working Capital Amount, minus (e) the amount by which the Targeted Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Net Working Capital Amount (it being understood that all amounts used in calculating the Purchase Price shall be based on the amounts set forth and represented in the Closing Certificate).
(b) Escrow. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall withhold from the Purchase Price payable pursuant to Section 1.2(a) and deposit into an interest-bearing escrow account with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the “Escrow Agent”):
(i) to secure the indemnification obligations of the Sellers, HTDS Members and HTDS Beneficial Owners with respect to Severance Payments under Section 11.2(a)(i)(G) of this Agreement, an amount in cash equal to (the “Severance Escrow Fund”):
(A) as a contribution to the Severance Escrow Fund with respect to each Class A Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (after taking into account any exercise or deemed exercise of ABRY Class A Warrants prior to the Closing) and each Class B Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Class B Award Agreements, an amount equal to the Severance Escrow Contribution Amount applicable to such Unit; and
(B) as a contribution to the Severance Escrow Fund with respect to each Class A Unit subject to an ABRY Class A Warrant, an amount equal to the Severance Escrow Contribution Amount applicable to such Unit; and
(ii) to secure the indemnification obligations of the Sellers, HTDS Members and HTDS Beneficial Owners under Sections 7 and 11 of this Agreement, an amount in cash equal to (the “Escrow Fund”):
(A) as a contribution to the Escrow Fund with respect to each Class A Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (after taking into account any exercise or deemed exercise of ABRY Class A Warrants prior to the Closing) and each Class B Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Class B Award Agreements, an amount equal to the Escrow Contribution Amount applicable to such Unit; and
(B) as a contribution to the Escrow Fund with respect to each Class A
2
Unit subject to an ABRY Class A Warrant, an amount equal to the Escrow Contribution Amount applicable to such Unit.
The Severance Escrow Fund and the Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent and disbursed by it solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the provisions of an escrow agreement to be entered into among Purchaser, the Sellers’ Agent and the Escrow Agent on the Closing Date, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Agreement shall provide that (1) promptly following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to (x) the former holders of Class A Units and ABRY Class A Warrants their respective Pro Rata Shares of all amounts then remaining in the Severance Escrow Fund, and (y) to the Sellers’ Agent (for further distribution to the former holders of Class B Units in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) the portion of the amounts then remaining in the Severance Escrow Fund attributable to such Class B Units, in each case less any amounts designated as subject to a Severance Payment to the extent any such Severance Payment arises or becomes payable but has not been paid on or prior to the date of such disbursement; and (2) promptly following the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to (x) the former holders of Class A Units and ABRY Class A Warrants their respective Pro Rata Shares of all amounts then remaining in the Escrow Fund, and (y) to the Sellers’ Agent (for further distribution to the former holders of Class B Units in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) the portion of the amounts then remaining in the Escrow Fund attributable to such Class B Units, in each case less any amounts designated as subject to a claim notice to the extent any such claim notice has not been resolved on or prior to the date of such disbursement.
1.3 Class B Redemption. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all necessary action (including providing written notice of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) to cause all holders of Class B Units to sell to the Company, pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Class B Award Agreements, all of the outstanding Class B Units owned by such holders concurrently with the Closing, in accordance with the terms of the Class B Award Agreements, such that there shall be no Class B Units outstanding immediately following the Closing (the “Class B Redemption”). At least two Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide to Purchaser evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, that subject to the payment due to each holder of Class B Units pursuant to Section 1.4(a)(ii), the Class B Redemption shall have been completed in all respects in accordance with the terms of the Class B Award Agreements and this Agreement.
1.4 Company Units.
(a) Class A Units, Class B Units and Class C Preferred Units. Subject to Sections 1.4(c), 1.5, 1.7 and 1.8. at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay (or, in the case of clause (ii), shall cause the Company to pay):
(i) to each Seller that holds Class A Units, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Seller prior to the Closing, in respect of each Class A Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, (A) an amount in cash equal to (1) the Residual Per Unit Amount, minus (2) the Escrow Contribution Amount per such Unit, minus (3) the Severance Escrow Contribution Amount per such Unit, plus (B) following the Closing, any cash disbursements required to be made from Purchaser, the Escrow Fund or the Severance Escrow Fund with respect to such Unit to the former holder thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, as applicable, if, as and when such disbursements are required to be made;
3
(ii) to the Sellers’ Agent (for further distribution to the holders of Class B Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Sellers’ Agent prior to the Closing, in respect of each Class B Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, (A) an amount in cash equal to (1) the Residual Per Unit Amount, minus (2) the Escrow Contribution Amount per such Unit, minus (3) the Severance Escrow Contribution Amount per such Unit, plus (B) following the Closing, any cash disbursements required to be made from Purchaser, the Escrow Fund or the Severance Escrow Fund with respect to such Unit to the former holder thereof in accordance with the terms of the this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, as applicable, if, as and when such disbursements are required to be made; and
(iii) to each Seller that holds Class C Units, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Seller prior to the Closing, in respect of each Class C Preferred Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, an amount in cash equal to the Class C Per Unit Preference Amount.
(b) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:
(i) The “Aggregate Class C Per Unit Preference Amount” shall be an amount equal to Class C Per Unit Preference Amount, multiplied by the aggregate number of Class C Preferred Units outstanding immediately prior to the Closing.
(ii) The “Aggregate Residual Purchase Price Amount” shall be: (A) the Purchase Price; minus (B) the Aggregate Class C Per Unit Preference Amount.
(iii) The “Class C Per Unit Liquidation Amount” shall be, with respect to each Class C Preferred Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Closing: (A) the Unreturned Class C Preferred Capital Amount (as defined in the Company LLC Agreement) as of the Closing Date, plus (B) the Unpaid Class C Preferred Yield (as defined in the Company LLC Agreement) as of the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class C Per Unit Liquidation Amount, assuming the Closing Date were the date of this Agreement, would equal $1,006.14.
(iv) The “Class C Per Unit Make Whole Amount” shall be, with respect to each Class C Preferred Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, an amount equal to the excess of:
(A) if the Closing occurs on or prior to December 22, 2011, (1) the present value at the Closing Date of one hundred five percent (105%) of the Class C Per Unit Liquidation Amount of such Class C Preferred Unit as of December 22, 2012 (assuming no payment has been made in respect of such Class C Preferred Units prior to such date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of the Closing Date, plus fifty (50) basis points over (2) the Class C Per Unit Liquidation Amount of such Class C Preferred Unit on the Closing Date; or
(B) if the Closing occurs after December 22, 2011, (1) the present value at the Closing Date of the Class C Per Unit Liquidation Amount of such Class C Preferred Unit as of December 22, 2012 (assuming no payment has been made in respect of such Class
4
C Preferred Unit prior to such date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of the Closing Date, plus fifty (50) basis points over (2) the Class C Per Unit Liquidation Amount of such Class C Preferred Unit on the Closing Date.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Class C Per Unit Make Whole Amount, assuming the Closing Date were the date of this Agreement, would equal $173.23.
(v) The “Class C Per Unit Preference Amount” shall be equal to (A) the Class C Per Unit Liquidation Amount, plus (B) the Class C Per Unit Make Whole Amount.
(vi) The “Closing Indebtedness Amount” means the aggregate amount of outstanding Indebtedness (if any) of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing, excluding up to $1,000,000 in the aggregate of Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies within the meaning of clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of “Indebtedness.”
(vii) The “Escrow Amount” means an amount in cash equal to 12.5% of the Aggregate Transaction Value.
(viii) The “Escrow Contribution Amount” means, with respect to each Class A Unit and Class B Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Closing and each Class A Unit subject to an ABRY Class A Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (after taking into account any exercise of ABRY Class A Warrants prior to the Closing), an amount equal to: (A) the Escrow Amount; multiplied by (B) the fraction having a numerator equal to the amount of the Purchase Price payable pursuant to Sections 1.4 or 1.5(a), as the case may be, in respect of such Class A Unit, Class B Unit or Class A Unit subject to an outstanding ABRY Class A Warrant (including, in each case, any amount contributed to the Escrow Fund and the Severance Escrow Fund with respect thereto), and having a denominator equal to the aggregate amount of Purchase Price payable pursuant to Sections 1.4 and 1.5(a) in respect of all Class A Units, Class B Units and Class A Units subject to outstanding ABRY Class A Warrants (including, in each case, any amount contributed to the Escrow Fund and the Severance Escrow Fund with respect thereto).
(ix) The “Fully Diluted Company Unit Number” shall be the sum of (without duplication): (A) the aggregate number of Class A Units and Class B Units outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (including (1) any such Units that are subject to a repurchase option or risk of forfeiture under any Class B Award Agreement, restricted unit purchase agreement or other Contract and (2) any such Units subject to issuance pursuant to Outstanding Warrants exercised prior to the Closing); plus (B) the aggregate number of Class A Units that are purchasable under or otherwise subject to Outstanding Warrants.
(x) The “Net Working Capital Amount” (which can be positive or negative) means: (A) the sum of all of the current assets of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing (but excluding prepaid fees and expenses related to the D&O Tail Policy and deferred Tax assets); minus (B) the sum of all of the current liabilities of the Acquired Companies (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include all unpaid Tax liabilities as of the Closing) as of the Closing (but excluding deferred Tax liabilities, the Closing Indebtedness Amount and the amount of any unpaid Company Transaction Expenses) (it being understood that all amounts used in calculating “Net Working Capital Amount” (1) shall be based on the amounts set forth and represented in the Closing Certificate and
5
(2) shall exclude and not give effect to (x) any current assets or current liabilities in respect of the TPA Business and (y) any intercompany accounts between any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller (other than the Acquired Companies), on the one hand, and any of the Acquired Companies, on the other hand, or the cancellation thereof).
(xi) The “Residual Per Unit Amount” shall be determined by dividing: (A) the Aggregate Residual Purchase Price Amount; by (B) the Fully Diluted Company Unit Number.
(xii) The “Severance Escrow Amount” shall be equal to Two Million Twenty Nine Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Seven Dollars ($2,029,257).
(xiii) The “Severance Escrow Contribution Amount” means, with respect to each Class A Unit and Class B Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Closing and each Class A Unit subject to an ABRY Class A Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (after taking into account any exercise of ABRY Class A Warrants prior to the Closing), an amount equal to (A) the Severance Escrow Amount; multiplied by (B) the fraction having a numerator equal to the aggregate amount of the Purchase Price payable pursuant to Sections 1.4 or 1.5(a), as the case may be, in respect of each such Class A Unit, Class B Unit or Class A Unit subject to an outstanding ABRY Class A Warrant (including, in each case, any amount contributed to the Escrow Fund and the Severance Escrow Fund with respect thereto), and having a denominator equal to the aggregate amount of Purchase Price payable pursuant to Sections 1.4 and 1.5(a) in respect of all Class A Units, Class B Units and Class A Units subject to outstanding ABRY Class A Warrants (including, in each case, any amount contributed to the Escrow Fund and the Severance Escrow Fund with respect thereto).
(xiv) The “Targeted Net Working Capital Amount” shall be equal to negative Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (-$3,500,000).
(xv) The “Treasury Rate” shall be the yield to maturity as of the Closing Date of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the Closing Date to December 22, 2012.
(c) Adjustments. In calculating the consideration payable under this Section 1.4, Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.3 and the Closing Certificate (as defined in Section 8.5(i)). Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate Purchase Price payable by Purchaser to the holders of equity interests in the Company (including the holders of Class A Warrants) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby exceed such consideration payable assuming such representations, warranties and Closing Certificate are correct (taking into account any adjustment pursuant to Section 1.7). In the event that the Company, at any time or from time to time between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, declares or pays any dividend on Units payable in Units or in any right to acquire Units, or effects a subdivision of the outstanding Units into a greater number of Units, or in the event the outstanding Units shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of Units, or a record date with respect to any of the foregoing shall occur during such period, then the amounts payable in respect of issued and outstanding Units pursuant to Section 1.4 and the amounts payable in respect of Units subject to Outstanding Warrants pursuant to Section 1.5(a) shall be appropriately adjusted.
1.5 Treatment of Class A Warrants.
6
(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall amend each agreement evidencing a Class A Warrant that is outstanding as of the date of this Agreement (each such Class A Warrant, an “Outstanding Warrant”, and each such amendment being referred to herein as a “Warrant Surrender Agreement”) to provide that each such Class A Warrant shall be cancelled, terminated and extinguished as of the Closing. Upon the cancellation of each such Class A Warrant, at Closing, Purchaser shall pay (or cause the Company to pay) to each holder of such Class A Warrant (subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections 1.7 and 1.8):
(i) in respect of each Class A Unit then subject to an ORIX Class A Warrant, an amount in cash equal to (A) the Residual Per Unit Amount minus (B) the exercise price per Class A Unit subject to such ORIX Class A Warrant; and
(ii) in respect of each Class A Unit then subject to an ABRY Class A Warrant, (A) an amount in cash equal to (1) the Residual Per Unit Amount, minus (2) the exercise price per Class A Unit subject to such ABRY Class A Warrant, minus (3) the Escrow Contribution Amount applicable to such Class A Unit subject to such ABRY Class A Warrant, minus, (4) the Severance Escrow Contribution Amount applicable to such Class A Unit subject to such ABRY Class A Warrant, plus (B) following the Closing, any cash disbursements required to be made from Purchaser, the Escrow Fund or the Severance Escrow Fund with respect to such Class A Unit to the former holder thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, as applicable, if, as and when such disbursements are required to be made.
(b) Each Warrant Surrender Agreement shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, and the Company shall provide Purchaser with a copy of each Warrant Surrender Agreement immediately upon its execution. The Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure each holder of an Outstanding Warrant cancelled as provided in Section 1.5(a) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration specified in Section 1.5(a), without interest (it being understood that such holder shall have all rights as a Seller under this Agreement with respect to its Class A Warrants).
1.6 Closing. The closing of the sale and transfer of the Acquired Units from Sellers to Purchaser and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Sidley Austin LLP, One South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603 at 10:00 a.m. (Central time) on a date to be designated by Purchaser, which shall be no later than the third Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Sections 8 and 9 (other than those conditions that are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) or at such other time and/or date as Purchaser and the Sellers’ Agent may jointly designate; provided, however, that notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 8 and 9, the parties hereto shall not be required to effect the Closing prior to January 1, 2012. The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”
1.7 Post-Closing Adjustment to Purchase Price.
(a) Estimated Purchase Price. The Company shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date:

7
Purchaser, which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for the absence of footnotes and, to the extent that GAAP permits alternate treatments in calculating the amounts reflected in the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, the particular treatment used in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements shall be used) and on a “closing of the books” basis, and shall set forth, and contain all of the information necessary to calculate, the unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and the Net Working Capital Amount, together with documentation, reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, in support of the calculation of the amounts set forth in the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet;

As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 60 days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall (i) prepare or cause to be prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for the absence of footnotes and, to the extent that GAAP permits alternate treatments in calculating the amounts reflected in the Closing Balance Sheet or the Closing Date Schedule, the particular treatment used in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements shall be used) and on a “closing of the books” basis, an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), together with a statement (the “Closing Date Schedule”) setting forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s calculation of the Net Working Capital Amount, the unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and unpaid Company Transaction Expenses and (ii) deliver to the Sellers’ Agent the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Schedule.

If the Sellers’ Agent disputes the calculation of any of the Net Working Capital Amount, unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount or unpaid Company Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet or the Closing Date Schedule, then the Sellers’ Agent shall deliver a written notice (a “Working Capital Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser at any time during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Sellers’ Agent of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Schedule, all as prepared by Purchaser in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.7(a) (the “Working Capital Review Period”). The Working Capital Dispute Notice shall set forth the basis for the dispute of any such calculation in reasonable detail.
8
(ii) If the Sellers’ Agent does not deliver a Working Capital Dispute Notice to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Working Capital Review Period, Purchaser’s calculation of the Net Working Capital Amount, unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and unpaid Company Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Schedule shall be deemed final and binding on Purchaser, the Sellers, the HTDS Members, the HTDS Beneficial Owners, the Sellers’ Agent and the Class B Unit holders for all purposes of this Agreement.
(iii) If the Sellers’ Agent delivers a Working Capital Dispute Notice to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Working Capital Review Period, then the Sellers’ Agent and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to reach agreement on the Net Working Capital Amount, unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and unpaid Company Transaction Expenses within the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by Purchaser of the Working Capital Dispute Notice. If the Sellers’ Agent and Purchaser are unable to reach agreement on the Net Working Capital Amount, unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and unpaid Company Transaction Expenses within such 30-day period, then either Purchaser or the Sellers’ Agent shall submit the unresolved objections to a national “big four” accounting firm acceptable to both Purchaser and the Sellers’ Agent (such firm, and any successor thereto, being referred to herein as the “Accounting Firm”), and such firm shall be directed by Purchaser and the Sellers’ Agent to resolve the unresolved objections in accordance with the immediately following sentence. In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Accounting Firm: (i) each of Purchaser and the Sellers’ Agent shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with the Accounting Firm to provide their views as to any disputed issues with respect to the calculation of any of the Net Working Capital Amount, unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, (ii) the Accounting Firm shall determine the Net Working Capital Amount, unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and unpaid Company Transaction Expenses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event, within 60 days of such referral) and upon reaching such determination shall deliver a copy of its calculations (the “Expert Calculations”) to the Sellers’ Agent and Purchaser and (iii) the determination made by the Accounting Firm of the Net Working Capital Amount, unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and unpaid Company Transaction Expenses shall be final and binding on all of the parties hereto for all purposes of this Agreement, absent manifest error. In calculating the Net Working Capital Amount, unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, the Accounting Firm (x) shall be limited to addressing any particular disputes referred to in the Working Capital Dispute Notice and (y) such calculation shall, with respect to any disputed item, be no greater than the higher amount calculated by the Sellers’ Agent or Purchaser, and no less than the lower amount calculated by the Sellers’ Agent or Purchaser, as the case may be. The Expert Calculations shall reflect in detail the differences, if any, between the Net Working Capital Amount, unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and unpaid Company Transaction Expenses reflected therein and the Net Working Capital Amount, unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and unpaid Company Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Date Schedule. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the party whose positions generally did not prevail in such determination, or if the Accounting Firm determines that neither party could be fairly found to be the prevailing party, then such fees and expenses shall be borne equally by Purchaser and the Sellers’ Agent.
(d) Payment Upon Final Determination of Adjustments.
(i) If (A) the Purchase Price (calculated based on the Net Working Capital Amount, the unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and the unpaid Company Transaction Expenses,
9
in each case as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.7(c)), is less than (B) the Purchase Price (calculated based on the estimated Net Working Capital Amount, the estimated unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and estimated unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, in each case as finally estimated in accordance with Section 1.7(a)) (the positive amount of such difference, the “Working Capital Shortfall”), then Purchaser and the Sellers’ Agent shall, no later than two Business Days after such determination, deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund an amount in cash equal to the Working Capital Shortfall by delivery of immediately available funds to Purchaser. If the Working Capital Shortfall exceeds the Escrow Fund, then each Seller shall pay (and, with respect to HTDS, each of the HTDS Members and HTDS Beneficial Owners shall cause HTDS to pay), no later than two Business Days after determination of such excess amount, an amount in cash equal to each Seller’s Pro Rata Share of such excess amount (up to an amount equal to the actual aggregate Purchase Price consideration received by such Seller) by delivery of immediately available funds to Purchaser.
(ii) If (A) the Purchase Price (calculated based on the Net Working Capital Amount, the unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and the unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, in each case as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.7(c)), is greater than (B) the Purchase Price (calculated based on the estimated Net Working Capital Amount, the estimated unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount and the estimated unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, in each case as finally estimated in accordance with Section 1.7(a)) (such amount, the “Purchaser Underpayment”), then Purchaser shall, no later than two Business Days after such determination, with respect to the former holders of Class A Units, Class B Units and Outstanding Warrants, pay to each such holder by delivery of immediately available funds such holder’s Purchaser Underpayment Pro Rata Share of the amount of the Purchaser Underpayment.
(e) Nothing in this Section 1.7 shall limit any rights of any Purchaser Indemnitee as set forth in Sections 7 or 11.
1.8 Withholding. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant Surrender Agreement to any securityholder or former securityholder of the Company such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom or in connection therewith under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Legal Requirements relating to Taxes or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and subsequently paid to the applicable Governmental Body by Purchaser, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

The Company shall inform Purchaser in writing in advance of all material actions the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates propose to take in connection with the Separation, and the Company shall provide Purchaser with copies of all of the Separation Agreements and related documentation for review not less than ten Business Days prior to the execution thereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The Company shall incorporate in the Separation Agreements and related documentation any comments reasonably proposed by Purchaser or any of its Representatives, and shall not execute any such Separation Agreements or related documentation until such time as such Separation Agreements and related documentation are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. The Separation shall be made without any representation or warranty (express or implied) from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and the TPA Subsidiary shall expressly disclaim and have no recourse against Purchaser, Affiliates of Purchaser or the Acquired Companies with respect to the Separation or the TPA Business. The TPA Subsidiary will provide full and complete

58
by Purchaser in Section 4 (without giving effect to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications limiting the scope of such representation or warranty); or
(B) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Purchaser, in this Agreement.
(b) Damage to Purchaser. The parties acknowledge and agree that, if any Acquired Company suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of any Acquired Company as an Purchaser Indemnitee) Purchaser shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the Units of the Acquired Company, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.
11.3 Limitations.
(a) Basket. Subject to Section 11.3(b), the Sellers shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i)(A) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement until such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such inaccuracy or breach and all other Damages arising from any other inaccuracies or breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Purchaser Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Purchaser Indemnitees has or have otherwise directly or indirectly become subject, exceeds $1,000,000 in the aggregate, in which event the Purchaser Indemnitees shall, subject to the other limitations herein, be indemnified for all such Damages in excess of $500,000.
(b) Applicability of Basket. The limitation set forth in Section 11.3(a) shall not apply: (i) in the event of intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or fraud; (ii) to inaccuracies in or breaches of any of the Specified Representations, Tax Representations, Employee Representations or Regulatory Representations; or (iii) to the matters referred to in Section 7 or Sections 11.2(a)(i)(B) through 11.2(a)(i)(H).
(c) Recourse to Escrow Fund. With respect to any claim for indemnification under Section 11.2(a)(i), the Purchaser Indemnitees shall seek recovery of any and all Damages for which the Purchaser Indemnitees are determined to be entitled to indemnification, first from the Escrow Fund until it has been depleted or all amounts have been released therefrom. Subject to Section 11.3(d), recourse by the Purchaser Indemnitees to the Escrow Fund shall be the Purchaser Indemnitees’ sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement for monetary Damages resulting from the matters referred to in Section 11.2(a)(i)(A). With respect to any claim for indemnification under Section 11.2(a)(ii), the Purchaser Indemnitees may, at their option, seek recovery of any and all Damages for which the Purchaser Indemnitees are determined to be entitled to indemnification (i) severally and directly from the Sellers, HTDS Members or HTDS Beneficial Owners, as applicable, or (ii) from the Escrow Fund (for the full amount of such Damages). If the Purchaser Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification under Section 11.2(a) in excess of the amount of the Escrow Fund, or if the funds in the Escrow Fund are inadequate to reimburse the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any and all Damages for which the Purchaser Indemnitees are determined to be entitled to indemnification, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall have the right to seek recovery of such Damages in excess of the Escrow Fund: (A) with respect to Damages for which the Purchaser Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification under Section 11.2(a)(i), severally and directly from each Seller (in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share), and (B) with respect to Damages for which the Purchaser Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification under
59
Section 11.2(a)(ii), severally and directly from the responsible Seller, HTDS Member or HTDS Beneficial Owner, as the case may be.
(d) Applicability of Liability Cap. The limitation set forth in the second sentence of Section 11.3(c) shall not apply: (i) in the event of intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or fraud; (ii) to inaccuracies in or breaches of any of the Specified Representations, Tax Representations, Employee Representations or Regulatory Representations; or (iii) to the matters referred to in Section 7 or Sections 11.2(a)(i)(B) through 11.2(a)(i)(H).
(e) Insurance Proceeds; Tax Benefits. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Section 11 shall be net of any proceeds actually recovered by the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter (A) under any insurance policies, or under any insurance policies held by the Acquired Companies at or prior to the Closing, in each case less any costs and expenses and any premiums or Taxes incurred by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the pursuit or recovery of such amounts, including any increase in insurance premiums, retroactive premiums, costs associated with any loss of insurance and replacement thereof or self-insured component of such insurance coverage, or (B) from any third party, and in each case, no right of subrogation shall accrue to any insurer or third party hereunder. If any proceeds to be netted hereunder with respect to such Damages are actually received by the Indemnified Party after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amounts otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 11 with respect to such Damages, then the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such receipt, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have been required to pay pursuant to this Section 11 with respect to such Damages had such proceeds been received at the time of such payment. Notwithstanding the fact that the Indemnified Party has recourse against any third party covering the action, omission or other fact giving rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 11, such Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to pursue such recourse from any third party. The amount of any Damages (including Taxes) for which indemnification is provided under this Section 11 shall be (i) increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt or accrual of indemnity payments hereunder (as a result of the indemnity payment being included in income, resulting in a reduction of Tax basis, or otherwise), (ii) increased, to the extent not previously taken into account, to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of the event giving rise to the Damages for which indemnification is provided, and (iii) reduced, to the extent not previously taken into account, to take account of any net Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages or Taxes for all affected taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, all calculations shall be made at the time of the relevant indemnification payment using reasonable assumptions (as agreed to by the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party) and present value concepts (using a discount rate equal to the applicable federal rate in effect at the time of the Indemnified Event (based on the Federal mid-term rate) using semi-annual compounding).
(f) Liabilities Included in Closing Working Capital. In no event shall any Seller, HTDS Member or HTDS Beneficial Owner have any obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees for any Damages pursuant to this Section 11 to the extent that such Damages were included as Liabilities in the calculation of the Net Working Capital Amount, the unpaid Closing Indebtedness Amount or the amount of unpaid Company Transaction Expenses (other than in respect of any obligation arising under Section 1.7).
(g) Mitigation of Damages. Each Seller Indemnitee and Purchaser Indemnitee shall
60
use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its Damages to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirement upon and after becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to give rise to Damages that may be indemnifiable under this Section 11 (it being understood and agreed that any reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with such mitigation shall themselves constitute Damages, to the extent the Damages mitigated would have been indemnifiable pursuant to Section 11).
11.4 No Contribution. Each Seller, HTDS Member and HTDS Beneficial Owner waives, and acknowledges and agrees that such party shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or advancement of expenses or other right or remedy against any Acquired Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such party may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement or document delivered to Purchaser in connection with this Agreement. Effective as of the Closing, the Sellers’ Agent, on behalf of itself and each Seller, HTDS Member and HTDS Beneficial Owner, and each Seller, HTDS Member and HTDS Beneficial Owner, expressly waives and releases any and all rights of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against any Acquired Company.
11.5 Defense of Third Party Claims. The party making a claim for indemnification under this Section 11 is referred to as the “Indemnified Party,” and the party against whom such claim for indemnification is asserted under this Section 11 is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”
(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against any Acquired Company, Purchaser or any other Person) made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to promptly give such written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in or, upon providing written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim in which the Indemnifying Party acknowledges without qualification its indemnification obligation hereunder (subject only to the applicable limitations set forth in this Section 11), to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 11.5(b), it shall have the right to take such reasonable action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to give timely and sufficient notification to the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or loses its right to defend such Third Party Claim by failing to diligently defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 11.5(b), without prejudice to its right to indemnification hereunder, pay,
61
compromise and defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Damages based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.5, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of a Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, investigation or allegation, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief or relief other than for monetary Damages against the Indemnified Party, (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the Third Party Claim, if adversely determined, would impair in any material respect the financial condition, business, operations, reputation or prospects of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iv) an actual or readily apparent conflict of interest (as determined by the Indemnified Party after obtaining advice of counsel) exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim that precludes effective joint representation or (v) the amounts reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with such Third Party Claim, together with all other outstanding claims on the Escrow Fund, exceed the amount remaining in the Escrow Fund. If, pursuant to this Section 11.5(a), the Indemnified Party so contests, defends, litigates or settles a Third Party Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of defending the Third Party Claim which are incurred from time to time, promptly following the presentation to the Indemnifying Party of itemized bills for such attorneys’ fees and other expenses, subject, however, to any applicable limitations set forth in this Section 11. Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in this Section 11, all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party.
(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless: (i) a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim that (A) does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates (including any equitable remedies or other obligations or restrictions upon the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates), (B) would not lead to any Liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (C) provides, in customary form, for the full, unconditional written release of each Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim, and (D) does not adversely affect the conduct of the business of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides written notice to the Indemnified Party that it desires to accept and agree to such offer and the terms thereof. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 11.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(c) Cooperation. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including, upon the reasonable request of the defending party, providing copies of records within the non-defending party’s possession or control relating to such Third Party Claim and making available, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses), Representatives of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.
11.6 Indemnification Obligations of HTDS. Each HTDS Beneficial Owner shall be jointly and severally liable with its respective HTDS Member, up to the percentage ownership interest of such HTDS Member in HTDS, with respect to the indemnification and other obligations of HTDS under Sections 7 and 11 of this Agreement, in each case on the same terms and conditions as HTDS in its capacity as Seller and as if he or it were Seller for purposes of such Sections. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence,
62
each HTDS Beneficial Owner and each HTDS Member hereby agrees to be bound on his or its own behalf to perform each and every covenant of HTDS under Sections 7 and 11 of this Agreement in its capacity as Seller contained in this Agreement.
11.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement will be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirement.
11.8 Exclusive Remedy. Except (a) in the event of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation and (b) for equitable remedies, from and after the Closing, the rights to indemnification, compensation and reimbursement set forth in Section 7 or this Section 11 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Purchaser Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees (whether at law or in equity) with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement.
12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
12.1 Sellers’ Agent.
(a) Appointment. By virtue of the adoption and approval of this Agreement, each of the Sellers, HTDS Members and HTDS Beneficial Owners, and by virtue of execution of the Class B Letter Agreements, each of the holders of Class B Units, irrevocably nominates, constitutes and appoints HTDS as his, her or its agent and true and lawful attorney in fact (the “Sellers’ Agent”), with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of such party for purposes of executing any documents and taking any actions that the Sellers’ Agent may, in the Sellers’ Agent’s sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection with any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Sections 7 or 11. HTDS hereby accepts its appointment as Sellers’ Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any claim for indemnification under Section 11.2(a)(ii) of this Agreement made by the Purchaser Indemnitees severally and directly from and against ABRY as the breaching Seller and involving no other party hereto shall be asserted by Purchaser against ABRY directly, and the Sellers’ Agent shall not be authorized to act or have any power, discretion or obligation in connection with such claim.
(b) Authority. Except as set forth in the last sentence of Section 12.1(a), the Sellers, HTDS Members, HTDS Beneficial Owners and Class B Unit holders grant to the Sellers’ Agent full authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of such parties (in the name of any or all of the parties or otherwise) any and all documents that the Sellers’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as the Sellers’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate, in performing its duties as contemplated by Section 12.1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and except as set forth in the last sentence of Section 12.1(a): (i) each Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Sellers’ Agent or either of its authorized representatives (McClurg or Hutchison), on all matters relating to any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Sections 7 or 11; and (ii) each Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Seller, HTDS Member, HTDS Beneficial Owner or Class B Unit holder by McClurg or Hutchison (on behalf of the Sellers’ Agent), and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Seller, HTDS Member, HTDS Beneficial
63
Owner or Class B Unit holder by McClurg or Hutchison (on behalf of the Sellers’ Agent), as fully binding upon such Seller, HTDS Member, HTDS Beneficial Owner or Class B Unit holder.
(c) Power of Attorney. The Sellers, HTDS Members., HTDS Beneficial Owners and Class B Unit holders recognize and intend that the power of attorney granted in Section 12.1(a): (i) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; (ii) may be delegated by the Sellers’ Agent or either of its authorized representatives (McClurg or Hutchison); and (iii) shall survive the death, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of each Seller, HTDS Member, HTDS Beneficial Owner or Class B Unit holder.
(d) Replacement. If the Sellers’ Agent shall resign or become unable to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder, the Sellers, HTDS Members, HTDS Beneficial Owners and Class B Unit holders shall (by consent of those Persons entitled to at least a majority of the Purchase Price), within 10 days after such resignation or inability, appoint a successor to the Sellers’ Agent (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser) and immediately thereafter notify Purchaser of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall succeed the Sellers’ Agent as Sellers’ Agent hereunder. If for any reason there is no Sellers’ Agent at any time, all references herein to the Sellers’ Agent shall be deemed to refer to the Sellers, HTDS Members, HTDS Beneficial Owners and Class B Unit holders.
(e) No Liability; Indemnification. The Sellers’ Agent shall not be liable to any of the Sellers, HTDS Members, HTDS Beneficial Owners or Class B Unit holders for any action taken by the Sellers’ Agent pursuant to this Agreement unless the Sellers’ Agent has acted in bad faith or with gross negligence. The Sellers’ Agent is serving in the capacity as exclusive agent of the Sellers, HTDS Members, HTDS Beneficial Owners and Class B Unit holders hereunder solely for purposes of administrative convenience. The Sellers, HTDS Members, HTDS Beneficial Owners and Class B Unit holders shall severally (based on his or its Pro Rata Share) indemnify the Sellers’ Agent to the fullest extent permitted by law (i) for all costs and expenses of the Sellers’ Agent incurred in the performance of such Sellers’ Agent’s duties as a shareholder representative, and (ii) if the Sellers’ Agent was or is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or a witness or other participant in, any threatened, pending or completed proceeding (a “Representative Claim”) by reason of (or arising in part out of) any event or occurrence related to the fact that the Sellers’ Agent is or was a shareholder representative, or by reason of any action or inaction on the part of the Sellers’ Agent while serving in such capacity, against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in, any proceeding), judgments, fines and penalties of such Representative Claim ((i) and (ii), collectively, the “Representative Expenses”), including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Representative Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Sellers’ Agent be indemnified for any Representative Expenses that arise out of the Sellers’ Agent’s gross negligence or bad faith or with respect to any proceeding instituted by the Sellers’ Agent to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the Sellers’ Agent in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous.
(f) Decisions Final. Subject to the last sentence of Section 12.1(a), any decision or action by the Sellers’ Agent or either of its authorized representatives (McClurg or Hutchison), including any agreement between the Sellers’ Agent (or McClurg or Hutchison on behalf of the Sellers’ Agent) and Purchaser relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims (including claims for which the Escrow Fund may be available to indemnify any of the Purchaser Indemnitees) under this Agreement, shall constitute a decision or action of the Sellers, HTDS Members, HTDS Beneficial Owners and Class B Unit holders and
64
shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Seller, HTDS Member, HTDS Beneficial Owner and Class B Unit holder. Subject to the last sentence of Section 12.1(a), none of the Sellers, HTDS Members, HTDS Beneficial Owners or Class B Unit holders shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.
(g) Other. Except as set forth in the last sentence of Section 12.1(a), the Sellers, HTDS Members and HTDS Beneficial Owners, the Class B Unit holders (through the Class B Letter Agreements), further authorize and approve, and Purchaser agrees that that Purchaser may rely conclusively, absolutely and exclusively, without inquiry, upon any communication given or action taken by HTDS or either McClurg or Hutchison on behalf of HTDS as the action of each Seller, HTDS Member, HTDS Beneficial Owner and Class B Unit holder in actions required or permitted to be taken by the Sellers’ Agent hereunder and will not be liable to any Seller, HTDS Member, HTDS Beneficial Owner or Class B Unit holder or any other Person for any action taken or not taken in reliance upon the direction of the Sellers’ Agent. Purchaser will not be obligated to inquire as to the authority of McClurg, Hutchison or the Sellers’ Agent with respect to the taking of any action that the Sellers’ Agent takes on behalf of any Seller, HTDS Member, HTDS Beneficial Owner or Class B Unit holder.
12.2 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
12.3 No Waiver Relating to Claims for Fraud, Willful Misconduct or Intentional Misrepresentation. The liability of any Person under Sections 7 or 11 will be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other liability that such Person may have at law or in equity based on such Person’s fraudulent acts or omissions, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions set forth in Sections 7 or 11, shall be deemed a waiver by any party to this Agreement of any right or remedy which such party may have at law or in equity based on any other Person’s fraudulent acts or omissions, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, nor will any such provisions limit, or be deemed to limit: (a) the amounts of recovery sought or awarded in any such claim for fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation; (b) the time period during which a claim for fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation may be brought; or (c) the recourse which any such party may seek against another Person with respect to a claim for fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation.
12.4 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly required by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, each party to this Agreement shall bear and pay all fees, costs and expenses that have been incurred or that are incurred in the future by such party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party in connection with or by virtue of: (a) the negotiation, preparation and review of this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) and all agreements, certificates, opinions and other instruments and documents delivered or to be delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) the preparation and submission of any filing or notice required to be made or given in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the obtaining of any Consent required to be obtained in connection with any of such transactions; and (c) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
12.5 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and received:
65
(a) if delivered by hand, when delivered; (b) if sent on a Business Day by facsimile transmission before 5:00 p.m. (recipient’s time) on the day sent by facsimile and receipt is confirmed, when transmitted; (c) if sent by facsimile transmission on a day other than a Business Day and receipt is confirmed, or if sent by facsimile transmission after 5:00 p.m. (recipient’s time) on the day sent by facsimile and receipt is confirmed, on the Business Day following the date on which receipt is confirmed; (d) if sent by registered, certified or first class mail, the third Business Day after being sent; and (e) if sent by overnight delivery via a national courier service, one Business Day after being sent, in each case to the address or facsimile telephone number set forth beneath the name of such party below (or to such other address or facsimile telephone number as such party shall have specified in a written notice given to the other parties hereto):

12.15 Parties in Interest.

The mere listing of a document or other item in, or
69
attachment of a copy thereof to, the Disclosure Schedule will not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement (unless the representation or warranty pertains directly to the existence of the document or other item itself).
