The Accounting Firm shall issue a written report setting forth in reasonable detail, with respect to each such disputed item, the Accounting Firm’s determination as to the correct amount of each such item in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that the Accounting Firm’s determinations will in no event result in the value of any such disputed items being greater than the higher of the respective values assigned thereto by Buyers and the Sellers’ Representative or lesser than the lower of the respective values assigned thereto by Buyers and the Sellers’ Representative. Buyers, Blocker and the Company, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand, will make available to the Accounting Firm all relevant personnel, books, records and work papers relating to the calculations submitted as reasonably requested by the Accounting Firm. The decision of the Accounting Firm will be made within thirty (30) days after the Accounting Firm is engaged, or as promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable, and will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, and judgment thereon may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction, absent manifest error or actual fraud. Buyers, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand, shall bear that percentage of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm equal to the proportion of the total dollar value of all disputed items submitted to the Accounting Firm that is determined in favor of the other party by the Accounting Firm. By way of example, if Buyers have taken the position that the Net Working Capital was $1,000,000 less than the Estimated Net Working Capital and the Sellers’ Representative has taken the position that the Net Working Capital was $500,000 greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, and the Accounting Firm finally determines that the Net Working Capital was equal to the Estimated Net Working Capital, then Buyers shall pay two-thirds of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and the Sellers’ Representative shall pay one-third of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm. As used herein, the Proposed Final Closing Statement, as adjusted to reflect any changes agreed to by the Parties and the decision of the Accounting Firm, in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.04(d), is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Statement”.

(e) Consideration Adjustment.

(i) If the Net Working Capital, the Company Transaction Expenses, the Closing Cash Amount or the Closing Debt Amount (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.04 and as set forth in the Final Closing Statement) differs from the estimated amounts thereof set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, the Cash Consideration Amount shall be recalculated using such final figures in lieu of such estimated figures, and, within five (5) Business Days of such final determination, (A) (x) Buyers shall pay to the Seller Parties in accordance with the Consideration Schedule delivered by the Sellers’ Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Sellers’ Representative, the amount, if any, by which such re-calculated final Cash Consideration Amount exceeds the Estimated Cash Consideration Amount paid at the Closing in accordance with Article II (provided that in no event shall Buyers be required to pay more than $[Redacted dollar amount]) and (y) the Sellers’ Representative and Buyers shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to release to the Seller Parties the full amount of the Price Adjustment Escrow Funds in accordance with the Consideration Schedule delivered by the Sellers’ Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Sellers’ Representative, or (B) the Sellers’ Representative and Buyers shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to release to Buyers out of the Price Adjustment Escrow Funds, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by Buyers, the amount, if any, by which such Estimated Cash Consideration Amount paid at Closing in accordance with Article II exceeds such re-calculated final Cash Consideration Amount. In the event that the full amount by which the Estimated Cash Consideration Amount exceeds the final Cash Consideration Amount is greater than the Price Adjustment Escrow Funds, none of Buyers, the Blocker, the Company or any other Person shall have any recourse against the Sellers’ Representative, any of the Seller Parties or any other Person for such excess.

(ii) If the Blocker Adjustment Amount (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.04 and as set forth in the Final Closing Statement) differs from the Estimated Blocker Adjustment Amount set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, the Blocker Adjustment Amount shall be recalculated using such final figures in lieu of such estimated figures, and, within five (5) Business Days of such final determination, (A) (x) the Blocker Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Blocker Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Sellers’ Representative, the amount, if any, by which such re-calculated final Blocker Adjustment Amount exceeds the Estimated Blocker Adjustment Amount paid at Closing in accordance with Article II and (y) the Sellers’ Representative and Buyers shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to release to the Blocker Seller the full amount of the Blocker Adjustment Escrow Funds by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Sellers’ Representative, or (B) the Sellers’ Representative and Buyers shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to release to the Blocker Buyer out of the Blocker Adjustment Escrow Funds, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by Buyers, the amount, if any, by which such Estimated Blocker Adjustment Amount paid at Closing in accordance with Article II exceeds such re-calculated final Blocker Adjustment Amount. In the event that the full amount by which the Estimated Blocker Adjustment Amount exceeds the final Blocker Adjustment Amount is greater than the Blocker Adjustment Escrow Funds, none of Buyers, the Blocker, the Company or any other Person shall have any recourse against the Sellers’ Representative, any of the Seller Parties or any other Person for such excess.

(iii) Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.04(e) will be treated as an adjustment to the applicable purchase price for applicable Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 2.05 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Parties and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Escrow Agent to deduct and withhold, from any payment payable pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Legal Requirements. The Person intending to withhold will notify the Sellers’ Representative of any amounts otherwise payable to the Seller Parties that it intends to deduct and withhold at least three (3) Business Days prior to the payment with respect to which such amounts will be withheld, and the Parties shall work together in good faith to minimize such deduction or withholding. Any amounts withheld in accordance with this Section 2.05 will be timely paid by the withholding agent over to the applicable Governmental Authority. Any such amounts withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary hereunder, (x) any compensatory amounts payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement shall be paid through appropriate payroll procedures of the Group Companies and (y) no payments to the Seller Parties shall be subject to any withholding so long as the Seller Parties comply with the provisions of Section 7.09(i) of this Agreement.

In no event, however, shall the foregoing result in the duplication of benefits. Buyers shall and shall cause their Affiliates to honor and recognize vacation days previously accrued and reserved for by the Group Companies immediately prior to the Closing Date. For a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date or an Affected Employee’s period of employment, if shorter (the “Benefits Continuation Period”), Buyers shall and shall cause their Affiliates (including the Company) (i) to provide to each Affected Employee annual base salary or base rate of pay and annual cash bonus payments (x) for performance in 2021 that are, in each case, no less favorable as those provided by the Group Companies immediately prior to the Closing Date and (y) for performance in 2022 that are, in each case, substantially comparable to those provided by Buyers to similarly situated employees and (ii) to offer to Affected Employees medical, dental, vision, and other ancillary benefits which are substantially comparable to those provided by Buyers to similarly situated employees (excluding transaction, retention, change in control, or equity or equity-based bonuses or incentives).

(i) The Sellers’ Representative shall prepare (at its own expense), or cause to be prepared, all (X) Flow-Through Tax Returns for the Group Companies and (Y) all income Tax Returns of Blocker, in each case, for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any such Tax Returns for a Straddle Period) and that are filed after the Closing Date in the manner set forth in this Section 7.09(b)(i), and Buyers shall timely file, or cause to be timely filed all such Tax Returns prepared pursuant to this Section 7.09(b)(i). Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with the past practice of the Group Companies and the terms of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. The Sellers’ Representative shall provide Buyers with drafts of all such Tax Returns no later than sixty (60) days prior to the due date for filing thereof (including applicable valid extensions) for Buyers’ review and comment. The Sellers’ Representative shall consider in good faith any comments reasonably proposed by Buyers. The Company shall make a Section 754 election on the federal income Tax Return of the Company for the period that ends on or includes the Closing Date if such election is not then currently in effect.

(ii) The income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and other Tax items of the Group Companies shall be allocated to the holders of Company Units between any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on the Closing Date and the subsequent taxable period (or portion thereof) by using the “closing of the books method” as of the end of the Closing Date within the meaning of Section 706(d)(1) of the Code, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. For this purpose, the Parties agree that all Transaction Tax Deductions shall be reported in Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

(iii) Blocker Buyer shall cause Blocker to join a “consolidated group” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-1(h)) of which Blocker Buyer is the common parent effective as of the beginning of the date following the Closing Date. Neither Blocker Buyer nor Blocker shall make any election to ratably allocate items under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b). To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, the Closing Date shall be treated as the last date of a taxable period of Blocker.

(c) Amended Returns; Tax Elections. Without the Sellers’ Representative’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and unless required by applicable law (in which case Buyers shall notify the Sellers’ Representative in writing in advance of the act in question, and the notification shall describe in reasonable detail why the act in question is required by applicable law), Buyers and the Company shall not, and shall cause the Group Companies and Blocker not to, (i) amend any Flow-Through Tax Returns of the Group Companies or income Tax Returns of Blocker relating to (or that include) any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) make any election that has retroactive effect to any Flow-Through Tax Returns of the Group Companies or income Tax Returns of Blocker for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) take any actions outside of the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date after the Closing that (x) increase Taxes to any holder of Company Units (or any direct or indirect beneficial owner of such holder) or the income Taxes of Blocker for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (y) could result in adverse Tax consequences to any holder of Company Units (or any direct or indirect beneficial owner of such holder) or (z) could reduce any payment (or delay the timing of any payment) otherwise payable pursuant to Section 7.09(k), or (iv) initiate or enter into any voluntary disclosure agreement or program with any Governmental Authority with respect to any Flow-Through Tax Returns of the Group Companies relating to (or that include) any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(d) Straddle Periods. For all purposes of this Agreement (including the calculation of the Blocker Adjustment Amount), in the case of any Tax period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes (or any Tax refund or credit related thereto) of the Group Companies or Blocker not based upon or measured by income, activities, events, the level of any item, gain, receipts, proceeds, profits or similar items for the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Tax period, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. The amount of any other Taxes (or any Tax refund or credit related thereto) for a Straddle Period that relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date; provided, however, that any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (such as deductions for depreciation or real estate Taxes) shall be apportioned on a daily basis.

(e) Tax Proceedings. In the event of any audit, assessment, examination, claim or other controversy or proceeding (a “Tax Proceeding”) relating to (X) Flow-Through Tax Returns of any Group Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including a Flow-Through Tax Return for a Straddle Period) or (Y) income Tax Returns of Blocker for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that could reduce an amount payable pursuant to Section 7.09(k)(i), Buyers shall inform the Sellers’ Representative of such Tax Proceeding as soon as possible but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt by Buyers of notice thereof. Sellers’ Representative shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control any such Tax Proceeding, with counsel of its own choosing at its own expense. Buyers shall have the right to participate at their own expense in any Tax Proceeding that the Sellers’ Representative elects to control pursuant to this Section 7.09(e), including having an opportunity to comment on any written materials prepared in connection with any Tax Proceeding and attending any conferences relating to any Tax Proceeding. Neither Party shall settle any such Tax Proceeding without the other Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(f) No Code Section 338 or 336 Election. Buyers shall not make, or permit to be made, any election under Section 338 or 336 of the Code or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Legal Requirements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g) Cooperation and Tax Record Retention. The Parties shall promptly furnish to each other such information as either may reasonably request with respect to Tax matters relating to the Group Companies and Blocker for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, including by providing reasonable access to relevant books and records and making employees of the other Parties and the Group Companies reasonably available to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder at the requesting Party’s expense. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, Buyers shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Group Companies and Blocker relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of the statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions thereof) applicable to such taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority.

(h) Purchase Price Allocation. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Buyers shall prepare a draft of an allocation of the portion of the purchase price (as determined for Tax purposes) allocable to purchase of the Company Units (other than the Blocker-Held Units) among the underlying assets of the Group Companies (the “Purchase Price Allocation”) in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements; provided that, the Buyers shall consult with the Sellers’ Representative regarding any valuation of such underlying assets in connection with the preparation of the Purchase Price Allocation, and the Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to review and comment with respect to any such valuation. Within thirty (30) days after Buyers’ delivery of the Purchase Price Allocation, the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to the Buyers either a notice accepting the Purchase Price Allocation or a statement setting forth objections thereto and the basis for such objections. The Buyers and the Sellers’ Representative shall use good faith efforts to resolve any such objections. If they are unable to mutually agree on the Purchase Price Allocation, the parties will prepare and file the Purchase Price Allocation independently of each other. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Tax Return prepared in accordance with Section 7.09(b) shall use the Purchase Price Allocation as determined by the Buyers.

(i) Tax Certificates. At or prior to the Closing, each Seller Party will provide Buyers with an IRS Form W-9. If the Buyers does not receive the applicable Tax Form from each Seller Party on or prior to the Closing, Buyer shall be permitted to withhold from the payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement any required withholding Tax under the Code.

(j) Section 6226(a) Election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 7.09(e)), each of Buyers and Group Companies agrees that in the event that any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Group Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Straddle Period) results in an “imputed underpayment” under Section 6225 of the Code (and any similar or corresponding provision of state or local Tax Legal Requirement) imposed on a Group Company, the Group Company may decide, in its sole discretion, to make a “push out” election under Section 6226(a) of the Code (and any analogous election under state or local Tax Legal Requirement, if applicable) with respect to such “imputed underpayment.” For the avoidance of doubt, the Group Company may make such an election without the consent of the Seller Parties.

(k) Tax Refunds^.

(i) Blocker Seller shall be entitled to the amount of any income Tax refunds (including, for the avoidance of doubt, prepayments of Taxes or overpayments of estimated Taxes paid or in respect of years ending on or prior to the Closing Date) or any Tax credits received in lieu thereof (and any interest in connection therewith) in respect of any payment, prepayment or overpayment of Taxes (including estimated Taxes) paid in or with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of Blocker and relating to the items specifically referenced in Schedule 7.09(k)(i) that are received by Buyers, Blocker or any of their Affiliates after the Closing (a ��Blocker Tax Refund”), other than any such amounts that actually reduce the Blocker Tax Liability. Blocker Buyer will cause Blocker to request a cash refund in respect of any such Blocker Tax Refund. The Blocker Buyer shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, over to Blocker Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, any such amounts that Blocker Seller is entitled to pursuant to this Section 7.09(k)(i) within five (5) Business Days after the actual receipt of such Blocker Tax Refund (or with respect to any Blocker Tax Refund that is a Tax credit received in lieu of a Tax refund, upon the filing of the applicable Tax Return electing to apply such Blocker Tax Refund as a credit). Buyers, Blocker and their Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain, or cause to be obtained, any reasonably available Blocker Tax Refund. For the avoidance of doubt, such efforts shall include, as promptly as possible following the Closing Date, filing IRS Form 4466 and IRS Form 1139 (and any comparable form for state or local Tax purposes) to claim a refund, if any, for the overpayment of estimated income Taxes. Buyers shall cause Blocker not to waive (and shall elect to carryback, to the maximum extent available) the carryback of any net operating loss with respect to a loss arising in a taxable period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Upon receipt of a written request from the Sellers’ Representative, Buyers shall provide the Sellers’ Representative with a calculation and supporting work papers setting forth the computation of any Blocker Tax Refunds after Buyers, Blocker or its Affiliate prepares and files the applicable IRS Form 1120 (or analogous income Tax Return) for the relevant taxable year. Any amounts paid to Blocker Seller pursuant to this Section 7.09(k)(i) will be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for applicable Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

(ii) The Seller Parties shall be entitled to the amount of any Tax refunds (including, for the avoidance of doubt, prepayments of Taxes or overpayments of estimated Taxes paid or in respect of years ending on or prior to the Closing Date) or any Tax credits received in lieu thereof (and any interest in connection therewith) in respect of any payment, prepayment or overpayment of Taxes (including estimated Taxes) paid in or with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of any Group Company and relating to the items specifically referenced in Section 7.09(k)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules that are received by Buyers, any Group Company, or any of their Affiliates after the Closing (a “Company Tax Refund”), other than any such amounts that actually reduce the Company Tax Liability; provided that, the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7.09(k)(ii) shall not exceed the amounts set forth on Section 7.09(k)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules. Buyers will cause the Group Companies to request a cash refund in respect of any such Company Tax Refund. Buyers will pay the amount of any Company Tax Refund (whether received as a refund or as a credit against or an offset of Taxes otherwise payable) as directed by the Sellers’ Representative within ten (10) days of receipt. Buyers will, if the Sellers’ Representative so requests, cause the relevant entity to file for and obtain any refunds or credits to which the Seller Parties may be entitled hereunder. Any amounts paid to the Seller Parties pursuant to this Section 7.09(k)(ii) will be treated as an adjustment to the applicable purchase price for applicable Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

(l) Intended Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, (i) the transaction described in Section 2.01(i) shall be treated as a taxable sale under Section 1001 of the Code by Blocker Seller of the Blocker Interests to Blocker Buyer, (ii) the transaction described in Section 2.01(ii)] and the contribution of Blocker-Held Units by Blocker to Company Buyer (collectively, the “Consolidation”) shall be treated as a “merger” (as described in Section 708(b)(2)(A) of the Code) of the Company and Company Buyer under the “assets-over” form (as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(3)(i)) with the resulting partnership being a continuation of Company Buyer and with the Company being terminated, (iii) with respect to the transfer of the Company Units (other than (x) the Company Units transferred in exchange for any PF Units and (y) the Blocker-Held Units), such transfer shall be treated as a sale of partnership interests (as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(4)) by Sellers to Company Buyer with this Agreement intended, and to be interpreted, so as to comply with the sale of a partnership interest within a merger election of Treasury Regulation Section 1.708-1(c)(4), (iv) Pubco B Stock received by Sellers pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be treated as part of the consideration received by Sellers in such sale of partnership interests as described in clause (iii) above, and such Pubco B stock shall be treated as having nominal value, and (v) the Consolidation shall not be treated as subject to Sections 704(c)(1)(B) or 737(a) of the Code (each and collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The Parties and their Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment.

Section 7.10 Lease Guarantees. Buyers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to release the Seller Parties and any individuals affiliated with the Company or any of its Affiliates (“Lease Guarantors”) from the guarantees listed on Section 7.10 of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Lease Guarantees”) and replace the Lease Guarantees with a guarantee of Buyers or an Affiliate of Buyers, upon substantially the same terms as the Lease Guarantee being released, and to effect the full and unconditional release of the Lease Guarantors from all Lease Guarantees and all obligations and liabilities in respect thereof. Buyers and the Lease Guarantor shall consult with one another in good faith prior to incurring any costs or expenses related to the release, assumption, replacement or substitution of the Lease Guarantees, provided that such costs and expenses shall be borne solely by Buyers. If any individuals affiliated with the Company or any of its Affiliates remains as the guarantor of a Lease Guarantee following the Closing, without the prior written consent of such Lease Guarantor, none of Buyers or any of their respective Affiliates (i) shall amend, modify or extend, or permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or extend, any lease obligation (other than by exercise of an option to extend any such lease, or an automatic extension of any such lease, in each case in accordance with the terms of such lease as in effect on the Closing Date) in any manner that would extend the duration of any such Lease Guarantee or materially increase the obligations guaranteed and (ii) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Lease Guarantors from and against all losses, to the extent required to put the Lease Guarantors in the same economic position as if the obligations of the Lease Guarantors under the Lease Guarantees had been released at or prior to Closing. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, the Group Companies will provide a list of Leases that are guaranteed by one or more other Group Companies.

Section 7.11 Releases.

Section 7.12 Access to Records after Closing. For a period of five (5) years after the date of the Closing, Buyers shall, and shall cause Blocker and the Group Companies to, provide the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives with reasonable access to the books and records of Blocker and the Group Companies that are required to be retained under applicable Legal Requirements or in accordance with the historical document retention policies of the Group Companies. Such access will be afforded by the Company upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. If the Company will desire to dispose of any such books and records prior to the expiration of such five (5)-year period, the Company will, prior to such disposition, notify the Sellers’ Representative and give the Sellers’ Representative and its authorized Representatives a reasonable opportunity to segregate and remove such books and records as such parties may select.

(a) Without limiting the Group Companies’ obligation to provide the cooperation expressly set forth in Section 7.13(d), Buyers acknowledge and agree that Sellers, Blocker Seller, Blocker and the Group Companies and their respective Affiliates have no responsibility for any financing that Buyers may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) To induce the Seller Parties to enter into this Agreement, Buyers hereby agree to hold and maintain available at all times prior to the Closing or valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms unrestricted, immediately available cash in an amount equal to or in excess of the Minimum Available Cash Amount. Buyers hereby further agree that Buyers shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, take any action or enter into any Contractual Obligation or commitments, or otherwise incur any liabilities or obligations that would reasonably be expected to result in Buyers being unable to hold and maintain unrestricted, immediately available cash in an amount equal to or in excess of the Minimum Available Cash Amount at the Closing and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, pay such cash at Closing in connection with the Closing Cash Payment to be made at the Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Buyers will keep the Company informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of their efforts to arrange the Debt Financing, and any material developments related thereto and, at the request of the Company, provide to such requesting party copies of the drafts and, upon the closing of the Debt Financing, executed versions, of the material definitive agreements for the Debt Financing.

(d) Prior to the Closing, the Group Companies agree to use reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their officers, directors and employees to use reasonable best efforts to provide, in each case at Buyers’ sole expense, such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Buyers in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, and which is customary for financings of the type as the Debt Financing, including using reasonable best efforts to: (i) furnish Buyers and their financing sources the Debt Financing Financial Information in connection with the Offering Documents, (ii) reasonably assist Buyers with the preparation of appropriate and customary materials for offering and syndication documents, including offering memoranda, prospectuses, private placement memoranda, lender and investor presentations, offering documents and similar documents, and rating agency presentations, in each case, reasonably required in connection with the Debt Financing (all such documents and materials, collectively, the “Offering Documents”) (iii) participate in a reasonable number of customary lender or investor meetings, road shows, due diligence presentations and sessions with the rating agencies, in each case, upon reasonable advance notice of such events and customarily needed for financings of the type as the Debt Financing, (iv) provide Buyers all documentation and other information with respect to the Group Companies as shall have been reasonably requested in writing by Buyers at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date that is required in connection with the Debt Financing by U.S. regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act, in each case no later than four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (v) reasonably assist Buyers with obtaining the Securitization Consent and (vi) assist with the preparation of definitive documents for the Debt Financing and the schedules and exhibits thereto, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by Buyers.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) such requested cooperation shall not (x) unreasonably disrupt or interfere with the business or the ongoing operations of the Group Companies or (y) cause significant competitive harm to the Group Companies if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, (B) nothing in this Section 7.13 shall require cooperation to the extent that it would (t) cause any condition to the Closing set forth in Article VII to not be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement, (u) require any Group Company or any of their Representatives to provide (1) pro forma financial information, including pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization or other pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any pro forma financial information, (2) any financial statements or financial information other than the Debt Financing Financial Information, (3) other than as set forth in the definition of Debt Financing Financial Information, subsidiary financial statements or any other information of the type required by Rule 3-09, Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X, (4) any Compensation Disclosure and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K, (5) other than as set forth in the definition of Debt Financing Financial Information, accountants’ cold comfort letters or reliance letters, (6) any description of all or any component of the Debt Financing, including any such description to be included in any liquidity or capital resources disclosure or any “description of notes” or (7) projections, risk factors or other forward-looking statements relating to all or any component of the Debt Financing, (v) require any Group Company to deliver or obtain opinions of internal or external counsel, (w) provide access to or disclose information where the Company determines in good faith that such access or disclosure could jeopardize the attorney client privilege, (x) as determined by the Company in good faith, be expected to conflict with or violate any applicable Legal Requirement or Contractual Obligation, (y) cause any Group Company to violate any obligation of confidentiality (not created in contemplation hereof) binding on any Group Company or (z) require any Group Company to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or any other Contractual Obligation to which any Group Company is party, (C) other than with respect to costs and expenses for which arrangements for reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.13(f) and reasonably satisfactory to the Group Companies have been made, no Group Company nor any of their respective Representatives shall be required to incur or assume any cost, expense, liability or obligation in connection with the Debt Financing (or any potential Debt Financing) or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Debt Financing (or any potential Debt Financing) or their performance of their respective obligations under this Section 7.13 or any information utilized in connection therewith, (D) none of the Group Companies or their respective Representatives shall be required to take any action (other than as expressly set forth in Section 7.13(d) above, execute, deliver or enter into or perform any agreement, document or instrument with respect to the Debt Financing that is not contingent on the Closing Date and (E) the applicable directors and managers of the Group Companies shall not be required to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Debt Financing is obtained. To the extent that this Section 7.13 requires any Group Company’s cooperation with respect to any of Buyers’ (or any of their Affiliates’) obligations relating to the Debt Financing, Buyers shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, increase any Group Company’s obligations under this Section 7.13 if the Group Companies have provided Buyers with the assistance required under this Section 7.13 with respect to the Debt Financing. The Company hereby consents to the use of its and each other Group Company’s logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, nor reasonably likely to, harm or disparage the Company or any other Group Company. Nothing hereunder will require any officer or Representative of the Company or any other Group Company to take any action that would subject such Person to actual or potential liability.

(f) None of the Group Companies shall have any liability to Buyers or any of their Affiliates in respect of any financial information or data or other information provided pursuant to this Section 7.13 (including financial statements). Buyers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Group Companies and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with the Debt Financing (or any potential Debt Financing) and the performance of their respective obligations under this Section 7.13 and any information utilized in connection therewith, except to the extent arising from the willful misconduct or fraud of the Group Companies. Buyers shall, promptly upon request of any Group Company, reimburse the Group Companies for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Group Companies (including those of their respective Representatives) in connection with any cooperation related to the Debt Financing (or any potential Debt Financing).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Group Companies shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 7.13 for all purposes of this Agreement (including Article VIII) unless the Debt Financing has not been obtained primarily as a result of the Group Companies’ Willful Breach of their obligations under this Section 7.13. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Section 7.13 represent the sole obligation of the Group Companies and each of their respective Representatives with respect to cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and no other provision of this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) shall be deemed to expand or modify such obligations.

Section 7.14 Financial Information. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts before the Closing to cooperate with and assist Buyers, at Buyers’ expense, in preparing to comply with Blocker Buyer’s obligations under applicable Legal Requirements to present financial statements and pro forma financial information pursuant to Items 2.01 and 9.01 of a Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including by preparing financial statements for applicable fiscal periods, engaging independent accountants to audit or review such financial statements as applicable, providing necessary or appropriate information to such accountants in furtherance of such audit or review, and other actions reasonably requested by any Buyer in furtherance of the foregoing; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the limitations set forth in Section 7.13(e) (other than as relates to providing pro forma financial information) shall apply to this Section 7.14.

Section 7.15 Pre-Closing Reorganization. Blocker Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, consummate the Pre-Closing Reorganization (subject to immaterial deviations substantially consistent with Exhibit A that do not result in liability to any Buyer or any Affiliate of any Buyer) prior to the Closing.

TERMINATION.

Section 10.01 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of Buyers and the Company;

(b) by either Buyers, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand if a final, nonappealable Government Order permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereby has been issued by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction;

(c) by either Buyers, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, if the Closing has not occurred on or before 5:00 p.m. PST on April 30, 2022, which date may be extended from time to time by mutual written consent of Buyers and the Company (such date, as so extended from time to time, the “Termination Date”); provided, that neither Buyers, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the other hand may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(c) if (x) in the case of Buyers, any Buyer or (y) in the case of the Company, either the Company or a Seller Party, is in material breach of any of its obligations hereunder and such material breach would cause, or would result in, the failure of the Closing to occur prior to the Termination Date;

(d) by the Company if (i) any of the representations and warranties of any Buyer contained in this Agreement are not true and correct such that the condition set forth in Section 9.01 would not be satisfied or (ii) a Buyer has breached or failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 9.02 would not be satisfied and such failure or breach with respect to any such representation, warranty or obligation (A) cannot be cured or constitutes a breach of the obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby at the time established for such consummation pursuant to Section 2.01 or, (B) if curable, continues unremedied at the earlier of the Termination Date and the thirtieth (30^th) day following notice of such breach; or

(e) by Buyers if (i) any of the representations and warranties of the Company, Blockers or the Seller Parties contained in this Agreement are not true and correct such that the condition set forth in Section 8.01 would not be satisfied or (ii) and of the Company, Blocker or the Seller Parties has breached or failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 8.03 would not be satisfied, and such failure or breach with respect to any such representation, warranty or obligation (A) cannot be cured or constitutes a breach of the obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby at the time established for such consummation pursuant to Section 2.01 or, (B) if curable, continues unremedied at the earlier of the Termination Date and the thirtieth (30^th) day following notice of such breach.

Any Party desiring to terminate this Agreement will give written notice of such termination to the other Parties.

Section 10.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01, this Agreement (other than the provisions of this Article X, Section 7.05 (Public Announcements; Confidentiality), Section 7.06 (Expenses) and Article XI (Miscellaneous), as well as any defined terms used in such sections, which will survive such termination) will then be null and void and have no further force and effect and all other rights and liabilities of the Parties hereunder will terminate without any liability of any Party to any other Party or other Person, except for liabilities arising in respect of Willful Breach under this Agreement by any Party prior to such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Willful Breach” means a deliberate act or a deliberate failure to act, which act or failure to act constitutes in and of itself a material breach of this Agreement on the part of the breaching party with the knowledge that that such act or failure to act would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in or constitute a material breach of this Agreement, regardless of whether breaching was the objective of the act or failure to act.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 11.01 Survival. The Parties hereto, intending to modify any applicable statute of limitations, agree that the representations and warranties, and covenants and agreements that are required to be performed prior to Closing, of the Company, Blocker or the Seller Parties contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered under Article VIII of this Agreement and the representations and warranties, and covenants and agreements that are required to be performed prior to Closing, of Buyers contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered under Article VIII shall not survive beyond the Closing, such that no claim for breach of any such representation or warranty, detrimental reliance or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort, at law, in equity or otherwise) may be brought after the Closing with respect thereto against any of the Seller Parties, Sellers’ Representative or Buyers or any of their respective Related Persons, and there shall be no liability in respect thereof, whether such liability has accrued prior to, as of or after the Closing, on the part of any of Blocker, the Group Companies, the Seller Parties, Sellers’ Representative, any Buyer or any of their respective Related Persons, except on the part of the Sellers’ Representative or Buyers for those covenants and agreements of the Sellers’ Representative contained herein that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing (which such covenants and agreements shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms only to the extent and for such period as shall be required for the Sellers’ Representative or Buyers, as applicable, to complete the performance required thereby). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (a) nothing herein will limit any party’s rights with respect to Fraud; provided, that in no event shall any Seller Party’s liability with respect to Fraud exceed the proceeds received by such Seller Party under this Agreement and (b) this Section 11.01 is not intended to limit the survival periods contained in any R&W Policy, which shall contain survival periods that shall control for purposes thereunder.

Each of the parties to this Agreement may specify a different address or addresses by giving notice in accordance with this Section 11.02 to each of the other parties hereto.

Section 11.03 Succession and Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, each of which such successors and permitted assigns will be deemed to be a Party for all purposes hereof. No Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties, and any attempt to do so will be null and void ab initio; provided, that Buyers may pledge or assign their rights hereunder as collateral security in connection with the Debt Financing but any such assignment will not relieve Buyers of any of their obligations hereunder. Except as expressly provided herein (including in Section 7.07 and Section 7.08), this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assignees and nothing herein expressed or implied will give or be construed to give any Person, other than the Parties and such successors and permitted assigns, any other right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the Parties that each of the Seller Parties is intended to be an express third-party beneficiary of the right to receive the consideration due to such Seller Party under Article II and any additional amounts payable thereto under this Agreement. The rights granted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 11.03 will be enforceable only by the Sellers’ Representative in its sole and absolute discretion, on behalf of the Seller Parties.

Section 11.04 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid and binding unless it is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Buyers, the Company and the Sellers’ Representative, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective (with the Sellers’ Representative acting on behalf of the Seller Parties, the Blocker and the Company). No waiver by any Party of any breach or violation of, default under or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach or violation of, default under, or inaccuracy in, any such representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No delay or omission on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof.

Section 11.05 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Ancillary Agreements and any documents, instruments and certificates explicitly referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto.

Section 11.06 Counterparts; Signature. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement will become effective when duly executed and delivered by each Party. Counterpart signature pages to this Agreement may be delivered by electronic delivery (i.e., by email of a PDF signature page) and each such counterpart signature page will constitute an original for all purposes.

Section 11.07 Provisions Concerning the Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Appointment. By executing this Agreement, and without any further act of any of the Seller Parties, each Seller Party shall be deemed to have approved the designation of, and hereby designates, TSG7 A AIV III, L.P. to act as their true and lawful Representative, attorney-in-fact, agent and proxy (the “Sellers’ Representative”) under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, for and on behalf of the Seller Parties, to give and receive notices and communications and to take any and all action on behalf of the Seller Parties pursuant to this Agreement and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Person acting as the Sellers’ Representative may be changed from time to time by approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Company Units immediately prior to the Closing (prior to giving effect to the Pre-Closing Reorganization or the Blocker Purchase), upon not less than fifteen (15) calendar days’ prior written notice to Buyers and the current Sellers’ Representative. Any vacancy in the position of the Sellers’ Representative may be filled by approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Company Units immediately prior to the Closing (prior to giving effect to the Pre-Closing Reorganization or the Blocker Purchase). No bond will be required of the Sellers’ Representative, and the Sellers’ Representative will not receive compensation for its services; provided, that the Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to reimbursement of expenses pursuant to Section 11.07(c). Notices or communications to or from the Sellers’ Representative will constitute notice to or from each of the Seller Parties.

(b) Actions of the Sellers’ Representative. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative will constitute a decision of all of the Seller Parties and will be final, conclusive and binding upon each of the Seller Parties and Buyers may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each of the Seller Parties. Each of Buyers and the Company is hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by any of Buyers and the Company in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative, including any such decision, act, consent or instruction relating to the Consideration Schedule. The Sellers’ Representative will not be held liable by any holder of Equity Interests of the Company or Blocker for actions or omissions in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the power and authority of the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement, except in the case of the Sellers’ Representative’s willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other experts that it reasonably determines to be experienced in the matter at issue, and will not be liable to any holder of Equity Interests of Blocker or any holder of Equity Interests of the Company for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith based on such advice. The Sellers’ Representative is serving in its capacity as such solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not personally liable in such capacity for any of the obligations of any holder of Equity Interests of Blocker or any holder of Equity Interests of the Company hereunder, and Buyers agree that they will not look to the personal assets of the Sellers’ Representative, acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by any of the holders of Equity Interests of Blocker or any holder of Equity Interests of the Company hereunder.

(c) Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund Amount. The Sellers’ Representative Expense Amount will be used to pay costs, fees and expenses incurred by or for the benefit of the Seller Parties on or after the Closing Date and will be paid or distributed at the direction of the Sellers’ Representative. In the event that any amount is owed by the Sellers’ Representative, whether for fees, expense reimbursement or otherwise, that is in excess of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Amount (or after any or all of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Amount has been dispersed to the Seller Parties), the Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to be reimbursed by the Seller Parties for the shortfall.

Section 11.08 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provision hereof would, under applicable Legal Requirements, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, each Party hereto intends that such provision will be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 11.09 Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights of the parties hereunder and all Actions 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 that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.10 Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process.

(a) Jurisdiction. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(d) (which will govern any dispute arising thereunder), each of the Parties, by its execution hereof, (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any United States federal court located in the State of Delaware or any Delaware state court) for the purpose of any Action among any of the Parties, including without limitation any such Action relating to or arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) hereby 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 Action, 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 Action 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 Action in any other court other than one of the above-named courts or that this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (iii) hereby agrees not to commence any such Action other than before one of the above-named courts. Notwithstanding the previous sentence a Party may commence any Action in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.

(b) Venue. Each of the Parties agrees that for any Action among any of the parties relating to or arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, such Party shall bring such Action only in the State of Delaware. Notwithstanding the previous sentence a Party may commence any Action in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts. Each Party hereto further waives any claim and will not assert that venue should properly lie in any other location within the selected jurisdiction.

(c) Service of Process. Each of the Parties hereby (i) consents to service of process in any Action among any of the Parties hereto relating to or arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner permitted by Delaware law, (ii) agrees that service of process made in accordance with clause (i) or made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 11.02, will constitute good and valid service of process in any such Action and (iii) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise) in any such Action any claim that service of process made in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) does not constitute good and valid service of process.

Section 11.11 Certain Matters of Construction.

(a) The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Section and subsection headings are not to be considered part of this Agreement, are included solely for convenience, are not intended to be full or accurate descriptions of the content of the Sections or subsections of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction hereof.

(c) Except as otherwise explicitly specified to the contrary herein, (i) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or subsection of this Agreement and reference to a particular Section of this Agreement shall include all subsections thereof, (ii) references to a Section, Exhibit, Annex or Schedule means a Section of, or Exhibit, Annex or Schedule to this Agreement, unless another agreement is specified, (iii) definitions shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined, and references to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include each other gender, (iv) the word “including” means including without limitation, (v) any reference to “$” or “dollars” means United States dollars, (vi) references to a particular law or regulation include such law or regulation and all rules and regulations thereunder and any successor law, rule or regulation, in each case as amended or otherwise modified from time to time and (vii) references to a particular agreement or other document as of a given date means the agreement or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time through such date.

(d) Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, when used herein “or” shall not be exclusive (i.e., “or” shall mean “and/or”).

(e) References to “days” shall refer to calendar days unless Business Day are specified. If any period expires on a day which is not a Business Day or any event or condition is required by the terms of this Agreement to occur or be fulfilled on a day which is not a Business Day, such period shall expire or such event or condition shall occur or be fulfilled, as the case may be, on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 11.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, 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 AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS AND THAT SUCH ACTIONS WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

Section 11.13 Specific Performance, etc.

(a) Each of the Parties agrees that irreparable harm for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that it does not fully and timely perform its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement and the Closing) in accordance with its terms. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that (i) the other Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages and without posting a bond or other surety, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such other parties are entitled under this Agreement and (ii) the right to obtain an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law.

Section 11.14 If the Company brings any Action in accordance with this Section 11.13 for an injunction or to enforce specifically the performance of any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement prior to the Closing, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended to the date that is the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Governmental Authority presiding over such Action issues a final order or judgment that is no longer subject to appeal or such later date as may be established by such court.

Section 11.15 Limitation on Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no claim arising in whole or in part out of or related to this Agreement, the negotiation, interpretation, construction, validity or enforcement of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether sounding in contract, tort, statute or otherwise) shall be brought or maintained by or on behalf of any Party or their respective Affiliates or their respective successors or permitted assigns against any Person not a Party hereto. Without limitation of the foregoing, no claim described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be brought or maintained against any past, present or future officer, director, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, management company, member, stockholder, equity holder, controlling Person, Representative or Affiliate, or any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of any of the foregoing, of Buyers, the Company, the Seller Parties or the Sellers’ Representative or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, and no recourse shall be had against any of them in respect of any such claim, including in connection with any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of or omission in any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of any Party set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11.15 will preclude any party to the Escrow Agreement from making any claim thereunder, to the extent permitted therein.

Section 11.16 Disclosure Schedules. The Disclosure Schedules are arranged in sections corresponding to the Sections of this Agreement for the convenience of the Parties, and the disclosure of an item in one section of the Disclosure Schedules as an exception to a particular representation or warranty in Article III or Article IV of this Agreement shall be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with respect to all representations and warranties in Article III and Article IV of this Agreement to the extent that the relevance of such item to such other representations or warranties is reasonably apparent on its face (without an examination of underlying documents). The Disclosure Schedules are not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations and warranties of Blocker or the Company. The inclusion of any item in the Disclosure Schedules is not intended to imply that such item so included (or any non-disclosed item or information of comparable or greater significance) is or is not required to be disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules, is or is not material to the Seller Parties, Blocker or the Group Companies, or is within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no Person may use the fact of the inclusion of any item in the Disclosure Schedules in any dispute or controversy involving such Person as to whether any obligation, item or matter not included in the Disclosure Schedules is or is not required to be disclosed therein, is or is not material to the Seller Parties, Blocker or the Group Companies, or is within or outside of the ordinary course of business. The information contained in this Agreement, in the Disclosure Schedules, and the Exhibits hereto and thereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any Person of any matter whatsoever, including any violation of any Legal Requirement or Contractual Obligation.

Section 11.17 Attorney-Client Privilege; Waiver of Conflicts of Interest. Ropes & Gray LLP, North Point Mergers and Acquisitions, Inc. and RSM US LLP (the “Advisors”) have acted as legal counsel, financial advisors and accountants to Blocker Seller, the Company and certain of the Seller Parties prior to the Closing with respect to various matters, including the transactions contemplated hereby and by acting as legal counsel to certain of the Seller Parties and their Affiliates with respect to their investment in the Company, and may continue following the Closing to represent certain of the Sellers Parties and their Affiliates with respect to various matters, including the transactions contemplated hereby and their investment in the Company. Each of the Parties, on behalf of themselves and each of their respective Affiliates, hereby waives any conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with the representation by the Advisors of Blocker Seller, the Company, or any of the Seller Parties or their Affiliates with respect to any matters that have already occurred or that may arise in the future, including the transactions contemplated hereby and acting as legal counsel, financial advisors or accountants to certain of the Seller Parties and their Affiliates with respect to their investment in the Company. All communications that involve attorney-client confidences and that have arisen or may arise in the future between Blocker Seller or any of the Group Companies, on the one hand, and Ropes & Gray LLP, on the other hand and that involve the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be confidences which that belong solely to the Sellers’ Representative, and no other Person shall have any access thereto. Furthermore, all communications that involve attorney-client confidences and that have arisen or may arise in the future with respect to any representation by Ropes & Gray LLP of any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof with respect to such Seller Party’s or Affiliate’s investment in the Company (including any that may have arisen or which may in the future arise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby) shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to such Seller Party or Affiliate, and no other Person shall have any access thereto. Without limitation of the foregoing, no Person may use or rely on any communications described in the immediately preceding sentence in any claim, dispute, action, suit or proceeding against or involving any of the Seller Parties or any of their Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after the Closing a dispute arises between Buyers or one or more of its Subsidiaries (including the Group Companies), on the one hand, and a third party other than (and unaffiliated with) any of the Seller Parties or their Affiliates, on the other hand, then Buyers or such Subsidiary (to the extent applicable) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure to such third party of confidential communications by Ropes & Gray LLP; provided, that neither Buyers nor any of its Subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative. This Section 11.16 is for the benefit of the Sellers’ Representative and the Advisors, which are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 11.16. This Section 11.16 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 11.16 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative and the Advisors.

For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” means any relationship by blood, marriage, domestic partnership or adoption, not more remote than a first cousin.

3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not restrict the undersigned from entering into any option or contract to sell, any agreement containing an option to purchase, any contract to purchase, any voting agreement or granting of a proxy, or the transfer of Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Securities, in each case in connection with a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Securities involving a change of control of the Blocker Buyer, provided that in the event that the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Securities owned by the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement, provided further that any Securities not transferred in connection with the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement and provided further that any Securities transferred in connection with the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement.

This Agreement may not be modified or amended except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and any purported amendment by any party or parties hereto effected in a manner which does not comply with this Section 6 shall be null and void, ab initio.

7. Except as set forth herein (including pursuant to a transfer permitted under Section 2 hereof), no party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Agreement shall be binding on Holder and each of its respective successors, heirs and assigns and permitted transferees.

8. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto (i) all agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the Delaware Chancery Court, and irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive and (ii) waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

9. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

10. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible

ii.

The Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a)(i) shall be an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on such other form as is available to the Company and (ii) so long as Registrable Securities remain outstanding, promptly following the date (the “Qualification Date”) upon which the Company becomes eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for resale, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Qualification Date (the “Qualification Deadline”), file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities (or a post-effective amendment on Form S-3 to a registration statement on Form S-1) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter; provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with each Registration Statement, including (i) filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws and listing fees, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold and (ii) the reasonable and documented expenses of one counsel for the Holders in connection with the Registration Statement, such amount in this clause (ii) not to exceed $50,000.

c.	Effectiveness.

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have each Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after such Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC, but no later than the Effectiveness Deadline. By 5:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day following the date on which the Registration Statement becomes or is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall file with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Company shall notify the Holders by e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the Holders with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby.

ii.

For not more than thirty (30) consecutive days, and for not more than sixty (60) total days, in each case, in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may suspend the use of any Prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section 2 in the event that the Company determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material nonpublic information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company or (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify each Holder in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of an Holder) disclose to such Holder any material nonpublic information giving rise to such Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Holders in writing to cease all sales under such Registration Statement until the end of such Allowed Delay, (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate such Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable and (d) notify each Holder in writing when such Allowed Delay is terminated; provided, further, that for the thirty (30) day period following the delivery of the notice described in Section 2(c)(i) above, the Company shall not voluntarily cause the Company to come into possession of material nonpublic information concerning the Company that would otherwise result in a delay pursuant to this Section 2(c)(ii).

Rule 415; Cutback. If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is a primary offering or not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act, or requires any Holder to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advocate before the SEC its reasonable position that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 (a “Constructive Primary Offering”) and that none of the Holders is an “underwriter.” The Holders shall have the right to review and oversee any registration or matters pursuant to this Section 2(d), including participation in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto. In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts, the SEC does not alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from such Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to ensure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any Holder as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Holder. Any cut-back imposed on the Holders pursuant to this Section 2(d) shall be allocated among the Holders on a pro rata basis and shall be applied first to any of the Registrable Securities of such Holder as such Holder shall designate, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the Holders otherwise agree. The parties agree that the Company’s delay or failure to have a Registration Statement declared effective due to the SEC taking the position that the offering is a Constructive Primary Offering shall not be a breach of any provision of this Agreement. From and after such date as the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions applicable to such Cut Back Shares (such date, the “Restriction Termination Date”), all of the provisions of this Section 2 (including the Company’s obligations with respect to the filing of a Registration Statement and its obligations to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective within the time periods set forth herein) shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however, (i) that the Filing Deadline and/or the Qualification Deadline, as applicable, for such Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall be ten (10) Business Days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (ii) the date by which the Company is required to obtain effectiveness with respect to such Cut Back Shares under Section 2(c) shall be the 90th day immediately after the Restriction Termination Date (or the 120th day if the SEC reviews such Registration Statement).

e.	Shelf Takedowns.

At any time during which the Company has an effective Shelf Registration Statement with respect to a Holder’s Registrable Securities, by notice to the Company specifying the intended method or methods of disposition of such Registrable Securities, as soon as reasonably practicable following the written request of a TSG Holder (a “Shelf Takedown Request”) that the Company effect an underwritten public offering of all or a portion of such Registrable Securities (a “Shelf Takedown”), the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose in a manner consistent with the Holder’s intended distribution transaction; provided, however that with respect to any request under this Section 2(e)(i), the market value of all remaining Registrable Securities at the time of the request will exceed $75,000,000 based on the then-current market price of the Class A Common Stock. Each TSG Holder shall be entitled to no more than one Shelf Takedown Request in any three month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if an amount of Registrable Securities that such Holder requests for inclusion on such Shelf Takedown is permitted to be included on such Shelf Takedown, such Shelf Takedown shall constitute such Holder’s Shelf Takedown Request for such three month period; and (ii) the Company shall not be obligated to proceed with more than five Shelf Takedowns in any twelve month period. If a TSG Holder delivers a Shelf Takedown Request, has an opportunity to complete the offering and declines to do so, such request shall count as a Shelf Takedown for purposes of the entitlement of the TSG Holders to demand the same hereunder unless such TSG Holder reimburses the Company or causes the Company to be reimbursed for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Shelf Takedown Request.

ii.

Promptly upon the TSG Holders’ determination to proceed with a Shelf Takedown or receipt of a Shelf Takedown Request (but in no event later than (A) 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) three Business Days after receipt of the Shelf Takedown Request for any underwritten offering to be effected as an overnight or bought deal or block trade (a “Block Trade”) and (B) four Business Days after receipt of the Shelf Takedown Request for any other proposed Shelf Takedown), the Company shall give written notice of receipt of such Shelf Takedown Request (a “Shelf Takedown Notice”) to each Holder as designated by the TSG Holders. The Company shall include in the Shelf Takedown all such Registrable Securities with respect to which such other Holders deliver to the Company written requests for inclusion in such Shelf Takedown (A) in the case of any Block Trade, by 10:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date that the Shelf Takedown Notice has been delivered, and (B) in the case of any other proposed Shelf Takedown, within one Business Day after the date that the Shelf Takedown Notice has been delivered. All determinations as to whether to complete any Shelf Takedown or Block Trade and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms of any Shelf Takedown or Block Trade contemplated by this Section 2(e) shall be determined by the TSG Holders, and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause any Shelf Offering or Block to occur as promptly as practicable, consistent with the intended plan of distribution

iii.

If any of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Company will have the right to select the managing underwriter(s) to administer the offering, subject to the prior written consent of the TSG Holders, not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in an auction-style block trade process, the TSG Holders would have the right to choose the underwriter, consistent with its right above to determine the terms of any Block Trade.

3.	Company Obligations. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Shares cease to be Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”);

prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby;

provide copies to and permit each Holder to review each Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto prior to their filing with the SEC and a reasonable opportunity to furnish comments thereon;

furnish to each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, if requested by the Holder, one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as each Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder that are covered by such Registration Statement;

use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest practical moment;

use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

promptly notify the Holders, at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing (provided that such notice shall not, without the prior written consent of an Holder, disclose to such Holder any material nonpublic information regarding the Company), and promptly prepare, file with the SEC and furnish to such holder a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the 1933 Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Holders are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder; and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act;

if requested by a Holder, the Company shall (i) as soon as practicable, incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as a Holder reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) as soon as practicable, make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) as soon as practicable, supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by an Holder holding any Registrable Securities;

within one (1) Business Day after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC and instruct the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities to remove the restrictive legends from such Registrable Securities;

make available upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours and for reasonable periods for inspection by the Holders and by any attorney, accountant, underwriter or other agent retained by the Holders and who is reasonably acceptable to the Company (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements to make themselves available to discuss the business of the Company and to supply all information reasonably requested by the Inspectors (including formal comfort) for the sole purpose of conducting initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of the Registration Statement; provided, however, that each Holder shall agree to, and to direct its Inspectors to, hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Section 3(j). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Holders, or to advisors to or representatives of the Holders, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Holders, such advisors and such representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and any Holder wishing to obtain such information enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto;

with a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Holders to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep adequate current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) six months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction by the holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and (iii) furnish to each Holder upon request, as long as such Holder owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration;

otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

4.	Obligations of the Holders.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, no Holder may include any of its Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless such Holder furnishes to the Company a completed questionnaire substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the “Questionnaire”) for use in connection with the Registration Statement at least five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement if such Holder elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. In addition to the Questionnaire, each Holder shall furnish such other information as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Holder has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii), such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the Holder is advised by the Company that such dispositions may again be made, provided that, no Holder shall be required to discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement by virtue of the delivery by the Company of a notice of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 2(c)(ii) for a period of more than thirty (30) consecutive days or, and for a total of more than sixty (60) total days, in each case, in any twelve (12) month period.

Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement.

5.	Indemnification.

Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, trustees, members, partners, managers, employees, investment advisers and agents, and each other Person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or other document or report, except to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with Holder Information, (ii) the use by an Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus during an Allowed Delay; or (iii) an Holder’s failure to send or give a copy of the Prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented), if required (and not exempted) to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities. In no event shall the Company be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel separate from its own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any Losses resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Holder, relating to such Holder, to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto (“Holder Information”). In no event shall the liability of an Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give written notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of an Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

Existing Registration Statements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and subject to applicable law and regulation, the Company may satisfy any obligation hereunder to file a Registration Statement or to have a Registration Statement become effective by a specified date by designating, by notice to the Holders, a Registration Statement that previously has been filed with the SEC or become effective, as the case may be, as the relevant Registration Statement for purposes of satisfying such obligation, and all references to any such obligation shall be construed accordingly; provided that such previously filed Registration Statement may be, and is, amended or, subject to applicable securities laws, supplemented to add the number of Registrable Securities, and, to the extent necessary, to identify as selling stockholders those Holders demanding the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. To the extent this Agreement refers to the filing or effectiveness of other Registration Statements, by or at a specified time and the Company has, in lieu of then filing such Registration Statements or having such Registration Statements become effective, designated a previously filed or effective Registration Statement as the relevant Registration Statement for such purposes, in accordance with the preceding sentence, such references shall be construed to refer to such designated Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented in the manner contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall hereafter enter into, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is currently a party to, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders by this Agreement. The Company hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, no registration or similar rights have been granted to any other Person other than pursuant to this Agreement.

7.	Miscellaneous.

a.	Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective as of the Closing Date.

Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by (a) the Company and (b) the Required Holders; provided that if any amendment, disproportionately and adversely impacts an Holder (or group of Holders in any material respect, the consent of such disproportionately impacted Holder (or group of Holders) shall also be required. No term of this Agreement may be waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought.

Assignments and Transfers by the Company. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Company (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, provided, however, that in the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar business combination transaction in which the Common Stock is converted into the equity securities of another Person, from and after the effective time of such transaction, such Person shall, by virtue of such transaction, be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Company hereunder, the term “Company” shall be deemed to refer to such Person and the term “Registrable Securities” shall be deemed to include the securities received by the Holders in connection with such transaction unless such securities are otherwise freely tradable by the Holders after giving effect to such transaction.

Benefits of the Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provisions hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
