(iii) Timely Indemnification Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(a), any representation or

warranty or covenant that would otherwise terminate in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(a) shall continue to survive, if a written notice for a claim of indemnification with respect thereto shall have been timely given under this Section 8 on or prior to the expiration of the applicable survival date as set forth in this Section 8(a), until the related claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in Section 8, but only with respect to the matters described in such notice.

Subject to the limitations on survival set forth in Section 8(a) and to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Section 8, from and after the Closing, the Seller, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Adverse Consequences suffered, paid, imposed upon or incurred by, directly or indirectly, any Buyer Indemnified Party to the extent arising from, as a result of or in connection with:

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, in any other agreements delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto;

(ii) any breach, nonfulfillment, failure to comply with or default in the performance of any of the covenants and agreements of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates contained in this Agreement.

(d) Matters Involving Third Parties.

(i) In the event that any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party asserts a claim for indemnification hereunder arising from a claim or demand made, or an action or investigation instituted, by any Person not either a Party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement that may result in an Adverse Consequence for which indemnification may be claimed under this Section 8 (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, as promptly as practicable, and, in any event, no later than thirty (30) days after it has received a written assertion of liability from the third party, give written notice (a “Claims Notice”) to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”). Such Claims Notice shall specify in detail the facts constituting the basis for, and the amount of, the claim asserted. No delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable shall relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an Indemnifying Party have any obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to any claim that is not made in writing containing the information specified above and received by the Indemnifying Party on or prior to the expiration of the applicable periods described in Section 8(a).

(ii) Subject to the provisions of Section 8(d)(iii) and the provisions of Section 9(d)(iv) with respect to Taxes for Straddle Periods, upon receipt of a Claims Notice the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense and control of Third-Party Claims, at its own expense through counsel of its choosing (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party). In the event the Indemnifying Party exercises such right to assume the defense and control of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation reasonably to participate in (but not control) the defense of Third-Party Claims with its own counsel and at its own expense. Any election by an Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim must be delivered by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the Indemnified Party’s Claims Notice, and failure on the part of the Indemnifying Party to send such notice within such thirty (30) Business Day period shall be deemed an election not to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each of its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates and permitted assigns to, cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, which cooperation shall include designating a liaison counsel to whom the Indemnifying Party may direct notices and other communications, using reasonable efforts to make witnesses available, and providing records and

documents to the extent such witnesses, records and documents are relevant to theThird-Party Claim.

(iii) The Indemnified Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense in accordance with the terms of Section 8(d)(ii), without the consent of any Indemnified Party, but only to the extent that such settlement or entry of judgment (A) includes a release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim, (B) does not subject the Indemnified Party to any injunctive relief or other equitable remedy and (C) does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

(e) Procedures for Direct Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party asserts a claim that does not involve a Third-Party Claim for indemnity against any Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable. Such notice shall specify in detail the facts constituting the basis for, and the amount of, the claim asserted. No delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable shall relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an Indemnifying Party have any obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to any claim that is not made pursuant to the written notice described in this Section 8(e) and received by the Indemnifying Party on or prior to the expiration of the applicable periods described in Section 8(a). Promptly after written notice of a claim has been provided as set forth above, the Indemnified Party shall supply the Indemnifying Party with such information and documents as it has in its possession regarding such claim, together with all pertinent information in its possession regarding the amount of the Adverse Consequence that it asserts it has sustained or incurred, and will permit the Indemnifying Party to inspect such other records and books in the possession of the Indemnified Party and relating to the claim and asserted loss as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request during normal business hours and on prior written request, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall keep confidential the information contained in such records and books.

(f) Limitations on Indemnification Obligations. In addition to any other limitations contained in this Section 8, the obligations of the Seller and the Buyer to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, are subject to, and limited by, the following:

(i) A Buyer Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover Adverse Consequences pursuant to Section 8(b)(i) (other than Adverse Consequences in respect of inaccuracies or breaches of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties or Section 4(n)) until the aggregate dollar amount of Adverse

Consequences which a Buyer Indemnified Party would recover under Section 8(b)(i), but for this Section 8(f)(i), exceeds $125,000 (the “Basket”), and, upon exceeding the Basket, shall be entitled to recover the entire aggregate dollar amount of such Adverse Consequences.

(ii) A Seller Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover Adverse Consequences pursuant to Section 8(c)(i) (other than Adverse Consequences in respect of inaccuracies or breaches of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties) until the aggregate dollar amount of Adverse Consequences which a Buyer Indemnified Party would recover under Section 8(b)(i), but for this Section 8(f)(ii), exceeds the Basket, and, upon exceeding the Basket, shall be entitled to recover the entire aggregate dollar amount of such Adverse Consequences.

(iii) The maximum aggregate liability of the Seller for indemnification for all Adverse Consequences pursuant to Section 8(b)(i) (other than Adverse Consequences in respect of inaccuracies or breaches of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties or representations and warranties described in 4(n)) shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price as finally adjusted in accordance with Section 2(d).

(iv) The maximum aggregate liability of the Buyer for indemnification for all Adverse Consequences pursuant to Section 8(c)(i) (other than Adverse Consequences in respect of inaccuracies or breaches of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties) shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price as finally adjusted in accordance with Section 2(d).

(v) Each Indemnified Party shall be obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate the amount of any Adverse Consequences for which it is entitled to seek indemnification hereunder.

(vi) The amount of any indemnification payments finally determined to be due to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8 shall be calculated net of any Tax benefits and detriments to such Indemnified Party as a result of the Adverse Consequence as to which the payment is made.

(vii) Upon making any indemnification payment,the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party in respect of the Adverse Consequence to which the payment relates. Each such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above-described subrogation rights.

(viii) The amount of any Adverse Consequences sustained by an Indemnified Party and owed by an Indemnifying Party shall be reduced by any amount to which such Indemnified Party is entitled with respect thereto under any insurance or reinsurance coverage, or from any other party alleged to be responsible therefor. The Indemnified Party shall use reasonable best efforts to

collect any amounts available under such insurance or reinsurance coverage and from such other party alleged to have responsibility. If the Indemnified Party receives an amount under insurance or reinsurance coverage or from such other party with respect to Adverse Consequences sustained at any time subsequent to any indemnification actually having been paid pursuant to this Section 8, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse by that amount the applicable Indemnifying Party for any such indemnification payment actually made by such Indemnifying Party.

(g) Exclusive Remedy. The Buyer and the Seller acknowledge and agree that, except for any claims relating to or affecting the Subject Balance Sheet that shall be resolved and determined in accordance with Section 2(d), the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Section 8 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Buyer and the Seller with respect to the Company and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 9. Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Indemnification. The Seller shall indemnify the Company, the Buyer and each Buyer Affiliate and hold them harmless from and against, any loss, claim, liability, expense, or other damage attributable to (i) all Taxes (or non-payment thereof) of the Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), including, for the avoidance of doubt, the tax penalty and interest assessment described in Schedule 4(n)(iv), (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. Law or regulation, and (iii) any and all Taxes of any person (other than the Company) imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any Law, rule, or regulation.

(b) Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, or payroll of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(i) The Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be filed (A) all Tax Returns for the Company relating to taxable years or

periods ending on or before the Closing Date and (B) all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed by the Company on or before the Closing Date. In each case, the Seller shall timely remit, or cause to be timely remitted, all Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with past practice except as otherwise required by Law.

(ii) The Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be filed all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed with respect to the Company for periods commencing on or after the Closing Date and with respect to all Straddle Periods. The Buyer shall timely remit, or cause to be timely remitted, all Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns subject to prompt reimbursement by the Seller in respect of any Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period pursuant to Section 9(a).

(d) Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(i) The Buyer, the Company and the Seller shall, and the Seller shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to Section 9(c) and any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company and the Seller shall, and the Seller shall cause its Affiliates (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Buyer or the Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (B) to give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, the Company or the Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records.

(ii) The Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(iii) The Buyer and the Seller further agree, upon request, to provide the other Party with all information that either Party may be required to report pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code, or Section 6043A of the Code, or Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(iv) Notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 8(d)(i), the Buyer shall control the defense of any claim for Taxes for a Straddle Period.

(e) Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax Sharing Agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(f) Certain Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid 50% by the Buyer and 50% by the Seller when due, and the Seller will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable law, the Buyer will, and will cause, its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(g) Refunds. Any refunds (or credits for overpayment), rebates, or similar payments of Taxes, including any interest received from a Governmental Entity thereon, of the Company and with respect to the Company attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date as determined in accordance with Section 9(b)) shall be for the account of Seller. Promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) upon receipt by the Buyer (or any of its Affiliates) of any such refund (or credit for overpayment), the Buyer shall pay over, by wire transfer, any such refund (or the amount of any such credit), including any interest thereon, to the Seller. At the Seller’s request, the Buyer shall take, or cause its Affiliates to take, any reasonable action necessary to promptly claim refunds attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period.

(h) Amendments. The Buyer and its Affiliates shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, amend any previously-filed Tax Returns for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, file Tax Returns for a Pre-Closing Tax Period in a jurisdiction where the Company has not historically filed Tax Returns, initiate discussions or examinations with any Governmental Entity regarding Taxes with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, make any voluntary disclosures with respect to Taxes for Pre-Closing Tax Periods, change any accounting method or adopt any convention that shifts taxable income from a period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date or shifts deductions or losses from a Pre-Closing Tax Period to a period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date, or undertake any action outside of the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date that has the material risk of affecting Seller or any of its Affiliates for any period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Seller (which may withhold such consent in its sole discretion) or as required by applicable Law.

(i) Tax Election. The Seller and the Buyer shall each deliver completed and executed copies of IRS Form 8023, required schedules thereto, and any similar state and

foreign forms at the Closing in accordance with Section 2(f), or following the Closing as may be otherwise agreed by the Parties. If any changes are required in these forms as a result of information which is first available after these forms are prepared, the Parties will promptly make such changes. Each of the Buyer and the Seller agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall take, or fail to take, any action to the extent such action or failure to act, as the case may be, is inconsistent with or would otherwise prejudice any Section 336(e) Election.

Section 10. Termination.

(a) Termination of Agreement. The Parties may terminate this Agreement as provided below:

(i) the Buyer and the Seller may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing;

(ii) the Buyer or the Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other Party at any time prior to the Closing in the event that the Closing shall not have occurred on or before October 1, 2019 (the “End Date”) unless the failure of the Closing to occur results from the failure of the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement to materially perform each of its obligations under this Agreement required to be performed by it on or prior to the Closing Date; provided, that such date may be extended by not more than sixty (60) days by either the Buyer or the Seller upon delivery of written notice to the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, if the Closing shall not have occurred as a result of the conditions set forth in Section 7(a)(iv) failing to have been satisfied; provided, further, that such extension right will not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation hereunder has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;

(iii) the Buyer or the Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other Party at any time prior to the Closing in the event that the Buyer or the Seller, respectively, has breached any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, which breach would result in the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 7(a) (in the case of a breach by the Seller) or Section 7(b) (in the case of a breach by the Buyer), and in any such case such breach shall be incapable of being cured by the End Date or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof shall have been received by the Party alleged to be in breach; provided that the Party seeking to terminate pursuant to this Section 10(a)(iii) shall not have taken any action that would cause it to be in material violation of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement;

(iv) the Buyer or the Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other Party, in the event of the issuance of a final, non-appealable and binding Governmental Order, the enactment of any statute or the

promulgation of any rule or regulation by any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Buyer, the Seller and the Company, in each case, which has the effect of preventing, prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10(a)(iv) shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations hereunder to prevent the enactment, issuance, enforcement or entry of such injunction, order, decree or ruling.

(b) Effect of Termination. If any party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10(a) above, all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any Liability of any Party to any other Party (except for any Liability of any Party then in breach); provided, however, that Section 1, the confidentiality provisions of Section 5(e), this Section 10(b) and Section 11 shall survive termination.

Section 11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Press Releases and Public Announcements. No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement prior to the Closing without the prior written approval of the Buyer and the Seller; provided, however, that any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable Law.

(b) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 8 and 9 as respects rights to indemnification, the terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of the Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under, or in respect of, this Agreement or any provision contained herein.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
