Parent and Purchaser hereby agree that, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Georgia C-Corporation), on the one hand, and any Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, McGuireWoods may represent such Seller or any such Affiliate in such dispute even though the interests of such Seller or such Affiliate may be directly adverse to Parent, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Georgia C-Corporation), and even though McGuireWoods may have represented the Georgia C-Corporation in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for the Georgia C-Corporation, Parent and Purchaser, on behalf of themselves and each of their Affiliates, (a) hereby waive any claim they have or may have that McGuireWoods has a conflict of interest in connection with or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (b) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Parent, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Georgia C-Corporation) and any Seller, McGuireWoods may represent any such party in such dispute even though the interests of any such party may be directly adverse to Parent, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Georgia C-Corporation), and even though McGuireWoods may have represented the Georgia C-Corporation in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for Parent, Purchaser or the Georgia C-Corporation.

(ii) Parent and Purchaser acknowledge that after the Closing, neither the Georgia C-Corporation, Parent nor Purchaser may unilaterally waive the attorney-client privilege with respect to any Privileged and/or Confidential Communications without the prior written consent of Sellers.

Section 6.11 Parent Shares.

(a) The Parent Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act by reason of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D and therefore may not be re-offered or resold other than in conformity with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such other applicable rules and regulations or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. All recipients of such Parent Shares shall be “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D. The Parent Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 and may not be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration statement with respect thereto is effective under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or (ii) an exemption from such registration exists and Parent receives an opinion of counsel to the holder of such Parent Shares, which counsel and opinion are reasonably satisfactory to Parent, that such Parent Shares may be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in the manner contemplated without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Parent Shares issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will bear an appropriate legend and restriction on the books of Parent’s transfer agent to that effect.

(b) The Parent Shares issued by Parent to the Sellers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be reflected in Parent’s books and records in book entry only, and shall be placed in a restrictive class with appropriate notations reflecting the following restrictive legend:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY U.S. STATE OR OTHER COUNTRY’S SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE OR OTHER COUNTRY’S SECURITIES LAW, OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT. NO HEDGING TRANSACTIONS MAY BE CONDUCTED WITH RESPECT TO THESE SHARES UNLESS DONE IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAID ACT.”

(c) The Parent Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued via direct registration with Parent’s transfer agent. No Parent Shares will be issued to any Seller until such Seller shall provide Parent with such Seller’s taxpayer identification number and address pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Purchaser and the Sellers hereby agree that the taxable year of the Georgia C-Corporation shall terminate for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the end of the day on the Closing Date under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A)(1) as a result of the purchase of the Shares hereunder.

(b) Straddle Period Allocations. For purposes of allocating any Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) arising in a Straddle Period between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period for purposes of this Agreement, (i) in the case of any Taxes based upon or related to income, receipts or payroll, such Taxes shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period by closing the books as of the effective time on the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income, receipts or payroll, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period, the amount of such Taxes that are allocated to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Post-Closing Tax Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by multiplying (A) the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period or Post-Closing Tax Period, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

(c) Cooperation. Each of Purchaser and the Sellers shall provide the other party with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by the other party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, any audit or other Tax examination by any Governmental Authority, any Tax refund claim (including in respect of employee retention credits), or any judicial or administrative proceedings related to liability for Taxes, and each will retain and provide the requesting party with any records or information which may be relevant to such return, audit or examination, refund claim, proceedings or determination. Any information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.12(c) or pursuant to any other Section hereof providing for the sharing of information or review of any Tax Return or other schedule relating to Taxes shall be kept confidential by the parties hereto, except as necessary to be disclosed in connection with such return, audit or examination, refund claim, proceedings or determination.

(d) Tax Claims.

(i) After the Closing, Purchaser, the Georgia C-Corporation and their respective Affiliates shall promptly notify the Sellers’ Representative in writing upon receiving notice from any Governmental Authority of the commencement of any claim, audit, examination, or administrative or court proceeding relating to any Taxes of the Georgia C-Corporation (a “Tax Claim”) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period; provided, that no failure or delay on the part of Purchaser in notifying the Sellers’ Representative shall relieve the Sellers from any obligation hereunder except to the extent that they are actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to delay.

Purchaser, the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative shall (i) cooperate in the timely filing of any Tax Return with respect to Transfer Taxes, or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees, and (ii) take any actions to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes.

(f) Pre-Closing Tax Matters. Without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), neither Purchaser nor the Georgia C-Corporation shall, with respect to the Georgia C-Corporation, (i) file or amend or

otherwise modify any Tax Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than to file Tax Returns in accordance with Section 6.12(a)), (ii) make or change any election for, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than an election specifically contemplated by this Agreement), (iii) settle, voluntarily approach, enter into voluntary disclosure agreement with, or file any ruling request with any taxing authority with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) extend or waive the statute of limitations with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than as a result of obtaining an extension of time to file a Tax Return) or (v) cause the Georgia C-Corporation to engage in a transaction on the Closing Date, but after the Closing, that is outside the ordinary course of business, in each case, if such action would reasonably be expected to (A) increase the amount of Taxes payable by any of the Sellers or (B) create or increase any indemnification obligation hereunder (taking into account any limitations on indemnification contained in Article VIII).

(g) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to Article VIII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless a different treatment is otherwise required by applicable Law.

(c) The Purchaser Fundamental Representations shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing respective survival periods and termination dates supersede any applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties.

(g) This Section 8.01 shall not limit any claim or recovery available to Purchaser (or any additional insured) under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty (other than any Seller Fundamental Representation, which shall be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.02(b), and any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.04, which shall be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.02(c)) of such Seller or the Georgia C-Corporation made in Article III or Article IV or the certificates delivered pursuant to Article VII (in each case, disregarding all materiality qualifications for purposes of calculating the applicable Losses);

(b) any breach or inaccuracy of any Seller Fundamental Representations of such Seller or the Georgia C-Corporation (disregarding all materiality qualifications for purposes of calculating the applicable Losses) contained in this Agreement;

(d) any failure by such Seller, the Georgia C-Corporation or the Sellers’ Representative to perform or comply with any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

(b) any breach or inaccuracy of any Purchaser Fundamental Representations (disregarding all materiality and Parent Material Adverse Effect qualifications for purposes of calculating the applicable Losses) contained in this Agreement; and

Section 8.04 Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the absence of a showing of Fraud or intentional breach, the indemnification obligations of each party hereto hereunder shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to Losses claimed under Section 8.02(a) unless the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under this Agreement, and the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under the Master PSA and Georgia UPA, respectively, exceeds the Deductible Amount, in which event the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled, subject to the other limitations in this Article VIII, to receive indemnification for all Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount. Except in the case of Fraud or intentional breach, the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Sellers shall be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Sections 8.02(a), 8.02(c) and 8.02(d) of this Agreement and to indemnify the applicable indemnified parties under Sections 8.02(a), 8.02(c) and 8.02(d) of the Master PSA and Sections 7.02(a), 7.02(c) and 7.02(d) of the Georgia UPA, and to indemnify the applicable indemnified parties under Section 9(b)(i)(1) and 9(b)(i)(3) of the Investor Pay-Off Letters, together shall not exceed the Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section 8.03(a) shall not apply to any indemnification claim under Section 8.02(b).

(b) Except in the case of Fraud or intentional breach, the aggregate amount of Losses for which each Seller hereunder shall be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.02 of this Agreement shall be limited, in the aggregate, to the portion of the Purchase Price received by such Seller under this Agreement (including any Taxes deducted or withheld therefrom) (with each Parent Share issued to such Seller being valued at the Parent Share Value), and in no case will the aggregate liability of the Sellers for claims for indemnification under Section 8.02 exceed, in the aggregate and without duplication, the Purchase Price.

(a) Except in the case of Fraud or intentional breach, (i) the aggregate amount of Losses for which Parent and Purchaser shall be required to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Sections 8.03(a) and 8.03(c) of this Agreement and to indemnify the applicable indemnified parties under Sections 8.03(a) and 8.03(c) of the Master PSA and Sections 7.03(a) and 7.03(c) the Georgia UPA and Sections 9(b)(ii)(i) and 9(b)(ii)(3) of the Investor Pay-Off Letters, together shall not exceed an amount equal to the Cap, and (ii) the aggregate amount of Losses for which Parent and Purchaser shall be required to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.03(b) shall be limited, in the aggregate, to the Parent Share Consideration paid under this Agreement (including any Taxes deducted or withheld therefrom) (with each Parent Share included in the Parent Share Consideration being valued at the Parent Share Value).

(b) As used in this Article VIII, an “intentional breach” means an intentional action or intentional failure to act where the breaching party had actual knowledge that such action or failure to act was not permissible under this Agreement or other applicable Transaction Document. An “intentional breach” shall not apply to breaches of representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement.

Section 8.05 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) No Seller Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any claim for indemnification under this Article VIII unless written notice of a claim for indemnification is delivered by the Purchaser Indemnified Party seeking indemnification to the Seller Indemnifying Party from whom indemnification is sought prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period set forth in Section 8.01 (in which event the claim shall survive until finally and fully resolved). If any third party notifies the Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim for indemnification (a “Third Party Claim”) against the Seller Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, then the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall notify the Seller Indemnifying Party reasonably promptly thereof in writing; provided, that no delay on the part of the Purchaser Indemnified Party in notifying the Seller Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Seller Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Seller Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. All notices given pursuant to this Section 8.05(a) shall describe with reasonable specificity the nature of the claim, the amount of the claim (to the extent then known) and the basis of the Purchaser Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.

(b) Following receipt of notice in accordance with Section 8.05(a) (other than a notice of a Third Party Claim against the Purchaser Indemnified Party, in which case Section 8.05(c) below shall apply), the Seller Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the date it receives such notice (the “Dispute Period”) to make such investigation of the claim as the Seller Indemnifying Party deems necessary or desirable. For purposes of such investigation, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall make available to the Seller Indemnifying Party all the material information related to such claim relied upon by or in possession or control of, the Purchaser Indemnified Party; provided, that such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall not be required to violate any Governmental Order or any applicable Law to which it is subject or to waive any attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine which any of them may possess or that may otherwise apply to such information. If the Seller Indemnifying Party disagrees with the validity or amount of all or a portion of such claim made by the Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Seller Indemnifying

Party shall deliver to the Purchaser Indemnified Party written notice thereof (the “Dispute Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period. If no Dispute Notice is received by the Purchaser Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period or the Seller Indemnifying Party provides notice that it does not have a dispute with respect to such claim, such claim shall be deemed approved and consented to by the Seller Indemnifying Party (such claim, an “Approved Indemnification Claim”). If a Dispute Notice is received by the Purchaser Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period and the Purchaser Indemnified Party and the Seller Indemnifying Party do not agree to the validity and/or amount of such disputed claim, no payment shall be made until such disputed claim is resolved, whether by adjudication of such matter, agreement between the Purchaser Indemnified Party and the Seller Indemnifying Party, or otherwise (and upon any such resolution, such claim shall be deemed to be an Approved Indemnification Claim). Each Approved Indemnification Claim shall be paid by Sellers or Parent and Purchaser, as applicable, no later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which the subject claim became an Approved Indemnification Claim, in each case by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the party entitled to such payment.

(c) After the Purchaser Indemnified Party has given notice of a Third Party Claim to the Seller Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.05(a), the Seller Indemnifying Party may, at its election, undertake and conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim at its own expense; provided, that the Seller Indemnifying Party fully acknowledges in writing its indemnification obligations to the Purchaser Indemnified Party. In such case, the Purchaser Indemnified Party may continue to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Seller Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, and unless (i) such settlement or consent to judgment does not impose or purport to impose any obligation or restriction on such Purchaser Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or any action or restrictions upon the conduct of the businesses of the Purchaser Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (ii) the Purchaser Indemnified Party receives a full release of and from any other claims that may be made against the Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim, (iii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Seller Indemnifying Party, and (iv) there is no finding or admission of any violation by the Purchaser Indemnified Party of any applicable Law or any rights of any Person, the Seller Indemnifying Party shall not settle or consent to judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Purchaser Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Seller Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the administration and defense of any Third Party Claim if: (i) the Seller Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days of the Purchaser Indemnified Party’s delivery of notice of such Third Party Claim to the Seller Indemnifying Party, (ii) the aggregate amount reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with such Third Party Claim and all other outstanding claims on the RWI Indemnity Escrow Funds exceeds 150% of the remaining amount of the RWI Indemnity Escrow Funds, (iii) such Third Party Claim involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, (iv) the Third Party Claim includes a claim for injunctive relief, or (v) any Seller is the Seller Indemnifying Party and (A) Purchaser or the Insurer is required to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms thereof or (B) any Seller’s assumption of the defense of the Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to cause a Purchaser Indemnified Party to lose coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy. The Purchaser Indemnified Party and the Seller Indemnifying Party shall render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be required of each other in order to ensure proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim subject to this Section 8.05. To the extent

that the Purchaser Indemnified Party or the Seller Indemnifying Party does not participate in the defense of a particular Third Party Claim, the Person so proceeding with such Third Party Claim shall keep the other Person informed of all material developments and events relating to such Third Party Claim. No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall settle or consent to judgment with respect to any Third Party Claim for which the Seller Indemnifying Party has provided a written acknowledgement of its indemnification obligations to the Purchaser Indemnified Party without the written consent of the Seller Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 8.06 Sources of Recovery.

(a) Subject to the other applicable limitations of liability set forth in this Article VIII, all amounts payable by any Seller to any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.02 shall be paid first by Sellers up to the retention amount outstanding under the R&W Insurance Policy, and second from the R&W Insurance Policy (if and to the extent covered thereby), and third directly from the Seller Indemnifying Parties and each Seller Indemnifying Party shall, subject to Section 8.04, be liable for such Seller Indemnifying Party’s Georgia C-Corporation Equity Percentage of such Losses.

(b) If a Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified for Losses in the case of Fraud of the Georgia C-Corporation or intentional breach by the Georgia C-Corporation, or pursuant to Section 8.02(b) for a breach of a Seller Fundamental Representation by the Georgia C-Corporation, then such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall, subject to Section 8.06(a), be entitled to recover such Losses directly from the Seller Indemnifying Parties, and each Seller Indemnifying Party shall, subject to Section 8.04 and this Section 8.06, be liable for such Seller Indemnifying Party’s Georgia C-Corporation Equity Percentage of such Losses. If a Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified for Losses in the case of Fraud of a Seller or intentional breach by a Seller, or pursuant to Section 8.02(b) for a breach of a Seller Fundamental Representation by a Seller, then such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall, subject to Section 8.06(a), be entitled to recover such Losses directly from such Seller, and such Seller shall, subject to Section 8.04 and this Section 8.06, be liable for the full amount of such Losses.

Section 8.07 Determination of Losses.

(a) Parent and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that no Seller shall have any Liability under this Article VIII for any Losses to the extent that such Losses are caused by or otherwise arise from any action (other than an action that is expressly permitted or required by this Agreement) taken by Parent, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates (including the Georgia C-Corporation) after the Closing. Parent, Purchaser and the Georgia C-Corporation, as the case may be, shall mitigate any Loss for which Parent and Purchaser could be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto to the extent required by applicable Law, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Losses (which costs shall constitute Losses).

(b) Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that Parent and Purchaser shall not have any liability under this Article VIII for any Losses to the extent that such Losses are caused by or

otherwise arise from any action (other than an action that is expressly permitted or required by this Agreement) taken by such Seller after the Closing. Each Seller shall mitigate any Losses for which such Seller could be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto to the extent required by applicable Law, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach which gives rise to such Losses (which costs shall constitute Losses).

(c) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided by the Seller Indemnifying Party to the Purchaser Indemnified Party under this Article VIII shall be net of (i) any accruals or reserves related to such Loss reflected on the Financial Statements, (ii) any amount for which a liability related to such Losses has been taken into account for purposes of the calculation of the Final Cash Consideration, (iii) any amounts that may be available to a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party and (iv) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement that may be available to the Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with such Losses, including the R&W Insurance Policy (each source of recovery referred to in clauses (iii) and (iv), a “Collateral Source”), if any, attributable to such Losses; provided, that recovery from Collateral Sources other than the R&W Insurance Policy and shall be net of (x) any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Party, (y) any deductibles associated with the collection of such amounts and (z) any increases in insurance premium or other costs associated with collecting such amount; provided, that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall have no obligation to seek any such recovery, other than under the pre-Closing insurance policies of the Companies. If the amount to be netted hereunder in connection with a Collateral Source from any payment required under this Article VIII is determined after payment by the Seller Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII, then the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall repay to the Seller Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Seller Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment.

Section 8.08 Election of Claims. In the event that any Purchaser Indemnified Party alleges that they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, and that Purchaser Indemnified Party’s claim is covered under more than one provision of this Agreement, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to elect the provision or provisions under which it may bring a claim for indemnification. In the case the state of facts giving rise to indemnification allows a Purchaser Indemnified Party to seek recovery for Losses under both Section 8.02(a), Section 8.02(b) or Section 8.02(c) of this Agreement and another subsection of Section 8.02 for which recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy is not available, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall first bring such claim under Section 8.02(a), Section 8.02(b) or Section 8.02(c) and, after satisfaction of the retention amount outstanding under the R&W Insurance Policy (after giving effect to the Deductible Amount, to the extent applicable to such Losses), use commercially reasonable efforts to recover its Losses to the extent provided under the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 8.09 Remedies Exclusive. Except (a) for remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of Law, (b) for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, or (c) in respect of claims based on Fraud or intentional breach, and without limiting any rights of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under the R&W Insurance Policy, from and after the Closing, the

indemnification provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims arising under this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, as between Purchaser, on the one hand, and the insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy, on the other hand, none of the terms, limitations, conditions and restrictions (including time for asserting claims) on indemnification set forth in this Article VIII shall affect the rights of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under the R&W Insurance Policy, which rights shall be governed solely thereby.

Section 8.10 Claims Unaffected by Investigation. The rights of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to indemnification or reimbursement available to any Purchaser Indemnified Party under this Article VIII shall not be impacted or limited by any investigation conducted or knowledge obtained by or on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnified Party. The parties hereby acknowledge that, regardless of any such investigation or diligence or knowledge, Parent and Purchaser have entered into this Agreement in express reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Sellers and the Georgia C-Corporation in this Agreement.

In the event of any termination of the Agreement as provided in this Article IX, this Agreement shall forthwith become wholly void and of no further force and effect and there shall be no liability on the part of the Georgia C-Corporation, any Seller, the Sellers’ Representative, Parent or Purchaser, except that:

(a) the provisions of this Article IX and Article XI (including the right to seek specific performance and other equitable remedies pursuant to Section 11.11) shall survive any such termination of this Agreement; and

Notwithstanding Section 10.01, in the event that the Sellers’ Representative is of the opinion that it requires further authorization or advice from the Sellers on any matters concerning this Agreement, the Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to seek such further authorization from the Sellers prior to acting on their behalf. In such event, each Seller shall vote in accordance with their respective Georgia C-Corporation Equity Percentages and the authorization of a majority of such Persons shall be binding on all of the Sellers and shall constitute the authorization of the Sellers. The appointment of the Sellers’ Representative is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable by any Seller in any manner or for any reason.

The Sellers’ Representative may resign from its position as the Sellers’ Representative at any time by written notice delivered to Parent, Purchaser, the Sellers.

All acts of the Sellers’ Representative hereunder in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be acts on behalf of the Sellers and not of the Sellers’ Representative individually. The Sellers’ Representative shall not have any liability for any amount owed to Parent or Purchaser by a Seller pursuant to this Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to any of the Georgia C-Corporation, Parent or Purchaser, in its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative, for any liability of a Seller or otherwise or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to any Seller, in its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative, for any liability of a Seller or otherwise or for any error of judgment, or any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith or for any mistake in fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement except in the case of the Sellers’ Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative may seek the advice of legal counsel in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of

the provisions of this Agreement or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability in its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative to Parent, Purchaser, the Georgia C-Corporation or the Sellers and shall be fully protected with respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel. The Sellers’ Representative shall not by reason of this Agreement have a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Seller, except in respect of amounts received on behalf of the Sellers.

Section 10.05 Expenses. Any expenses or taxable income incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall not be the personal obligation of the Sellers’ Representative but shall be payable by and attributable to the Sellers based on their respective Georgia C-Corporation Equity Percentages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled and is hereby granted the right to set off and deduct any unpaid or non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied liabilities incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder from the Sellers’ Representative Holdback Amount or any amounts delivered to the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative may from time to time submit invoices to the Sellers covering such expenses and liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent, Purchaser nor any of the Companies nor the Georgia C-Corporation shall have any responsibility or Liability to any Seller with respect to any amounts set-off or deducted by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Section 10.05.

Section 10.06 Distributions. Any amounts distributed by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement to the Sellers shall be distributed pro rata in accordance with their respective Georgia C-Corporation Equity Percentage, net of the expenses of the Sellers’ Representative set off and deducted in accordance with Section 10.05. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent, Purchaser nor any of the Companies nor the Georgia C-Corporation shall have any responsibility or Liability to any Seller with respect to the allocation of any distribution pursuant to this Section 10.06

Section 11.03 Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement: (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the word “or” is not exclusive; and (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof; and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

Section 11.04 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 11.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, 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 a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 11.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Master PSA and the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous representations, warranties, understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the other Transaction Documents, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

Section 11.07 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement (and all rights, interests and obligations hereunder) may be assigned, in whole or in part, without consent of any Seller, the Sellers’ Representative or the Georgia C-Corporation, for collateral security purposes to any Persons providing financing to Purchaser (including the Financing Sources), including for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assigning Purchaser’s rights hereunder as collateral in respect of such financing. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 11.08 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except (i) for the provisions of Article VIII, and Section 6.09 (Conflicts; Privilege), which, in each case, are intended to be for the benefit of the Persons identified in such Article and Sections and may be enforced by such Persons, and (ii) the Financing Sources shall be third-party beneficiaries of the provisions of Section 11.07, this Section 11.08, Section 11.09, Section 11.10 and Section 11.13, and shall have the right to enforce the provisions thereof, to the extent expressly applicable to the Financing Sources.

Section 11.09 Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no amendments, modifications or supplements to, or waivers of, any provision of which any Financing Source is expressly made a third-party beneficiary pursuant to Section 11.08 shall be permitted in any manner materially adverse in any respect to any Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Financing Source.

Section 11.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule; provided, that each of the parties agrees that all claims or causes of action (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against any of the Financing Sources in any way relating to the Debt Financing shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the Laws of the State of New York, without giving regard to conflicts or choice of law principles that would result in the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

(b) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY MAY BE INSTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE IN EACH CASE LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree (i) that any action of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, involving the Financing Sources or arising out of or relating to the Debt Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (and the appellate courts thereof), or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof), and each party submits for itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, (ii) not to bring or permit any of their Affiliates to bring or support any other Person in bringing any such action in any other court, (iii) that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to them at their respective addresses, if any, provided for notice purposes in any document relating to the Debt Financing will be effective service of process against them for any such action brought in any such court, (iv) to waive and hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such action in any such court and (v) that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO AGENT OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.10(C).

Section 11.11 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that monetary damages would not provide adequate remedy in such event. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy to which a non-breaching party may be entitled at law, a non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief without the posting of any bond or other security to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof, including Sellers’ obligation to sell the Shares to Purchaser and Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Shares from the Sellers, and the breaching party waives the defense that an adequate remedy at law may exist.

Section 11.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

Section 11.13 Non-Recourse.

(a) This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties in the preamble hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No Financing Source, and no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Agents of any Financing Source or any party hereto or of any Affiliate of any party hereto, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any negotiation, execution, performance, or breach of this Agreement or any other document relating to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(b) The provisions of this Section 11.13, together with the remedies specified in Article VIII, were specifically bargained for between Sellers and Purchaser and were taken into account by Sellers and Purchaser in agreeing to the amount of the Purchase Price, the adjustments thereto and the other terms and conditions hereof. Sellers and Purchaser have specifically relied upon the provisions of this Section 11.13, together with the remedies specified in Article VIII, in agreeing to the Purchase Price, the adjustments thereto and the other terms and conditions hereof, including in agreeing to provide the specific representations and warranties set forth herein.

(c) Each of the parties is a sophisticated Person that was advised by experienced counsel and, to the extent it deemed necessary, other advisors in connection with this Agreement. The parties hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the transactions contemplated hereby exclusively in Contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement; and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement. Furthermore, the parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s length negotiations; all parties to this Agreement specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s length transaction.
