If the Parties refer a dispute to the Auditors and if the Adjustment Escrow Funds exceed the amount by which the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price (as claimed by the Buyer), then the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, promptly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Seller the amount of such excess out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, and the remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be paid out pursuant toSection 1.4(c) after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to thisSection 1.4.

(c) If the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price, then within two business days following the final determination thereof, the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Buyer the amount of such excess out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds (and if the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds is less than the amount due to the Buyer pursuant to thisSection 1.4, then at the Buyer’s option the Buyer may recover the remaining amount from the Indemnity Escrow Funds or require the Seller to pay such amount to the Buyer by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Buyer). If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then within two business days following the final determination thereof, the Buyer will pay to the Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Seller the amount of such excess and the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Seller the entire balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds.

(b) From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold, in confidence any confidential information, whether written or oral, concerning the Acquired Entities

or the Acquired Business (including any Trade Secrets of the Acquired Entities), and not use any such information for any purpose other than as specified in this Agreement, except to the extent that Seller can show that such information (i) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Seller, any of its Affiliates or their employees, agents and other representatives; or (ii) is lawfully acquired by Seller from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If Seller or any of its agents and other representatives are compelled to disclose any such information by judicial or administrative process or by other Laws, Seller shall to the extent legally permissible promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which it is advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

Section 5.6 Amendment ofSeller Disclosure Letter. The Buyer agrees that, with respect to representations and warranties of the Seller and the Company contained in this Agreement, the Seller and the Company shall have the continuing right (but not the obligation) until the Closing to add, supplement or amend the Seller Disclosure Letter to their respective representations and warranties with respect to any matter arising or discovered after the date hereof which, if existing at the date hereof or thereafter, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Seller Disclosure Letter. Any such additional, supplemental or amended disclosure shall not be deemed to have cured any breach of any representation or warranty for any purpose hereunder, including for purposes of the termination rights contained inSection 7.1(d), of determining whether the conditions set forth inSection 6.2(a) have been satisfied or of determining whether a breach of a representation or warranty has occurred for purposes of indemnification underSection 8.2; provided, however, that (a) if such additional, supplemental or amended disclosures would give rise to a right of the Buyer to terminate this Agreement pursuant toSection 7.1(d), assuming (i) all other conditions set forth inSection 6.1 had been satisfied, and (ii) the Closing were scheduled to occur on the date that such additional, supplemental or amended disclosures were received by the Buyer, then the Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within ten business days of its receipt of such additional, supplemental or amended disclosure and (b) if the Buyer does not so elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such matters. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Closing such supplements, additions and amendments shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether a breach of a representation or warranty has occurred for purposes of indemnification underSection 8.2.

Section 5.7 ��Tax Matters.

(a) Seller’s Obligations.

(i) Seller shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Consolidated Returns that include the Company and shall pay all Taxes due in respect of such Returns. All such Tax Returns, to the extent they relate to the Predecessor Company, shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Applicable Law). From and after the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company to provide Seller and its Affiliates in a timely fashion all filing information relating to the Company necessary for the preparation and filing of the consolidated Tax Returns.

(ii) The Seller shall prepare and timely file (taking into account all valid extensions), or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed (taking into account all valid extensions), any and all Tax Returns of an Acquired Entity covering a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date that are required to be filed after the Closing Date, and each such Seller prepared Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past custom and practice except as otherwise required by applicable Law or fact. Subject to the indemnification obligations of the Seller pursuant toSection 8.2(e), the Buyer shall be responsible for timely paying or causing the applicable Acquired Entity to timely pay all Taxes reflected on a Seller prepared Tax Return required to be paid by the applicable Acquired Entity to the applicable Governmental Authority.

(b) Buyer’s Obligations. Buyer shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns of the Acquired Entities for taxable periods that end on or before the Closing Date that are not described inSection 5.7(a) and for any Straddle Period. Any Tax Return related to a Straddle Period shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Applicable Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method and shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Seller, supporting documentation) at least fifteen business days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Seller objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within five business days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Buyer in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company that does not relate to aPre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of Buyer. Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the portion of the Taxes with respect to any such Tax Returns that relates to thePre-Closing Tax Period (as determined pursuant toSection 5.7(d)), and to the extent such Taxes are not included or reflected on the Closing Working Capital Statement, at the later of five business days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Returns or upon written demand therefor.

(c) Amended Tax Returns. The Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates, any Acquired Entity, or any of their Affiliates to, (i) amend, modify, orre-file any Tax Return of an Acquired Entity that covers aPre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) grant an extension of any applicable statute of limitations with respect to any Tax Return of an Acquired Entity that covers aPre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) make or change any Tax election that affects anyPre-Closing Tax Period, or (iv) take any action or position that results in any increased Tax liability (including a reduction in a refund) or reduction of any Tax attribute of an Acquired Entity with respect toPre-Closing Tax Periods, in each case without the prior written consent of the Seller, except as required by an applicable Tax authority.

(d) Determination of Straddle Period Taxes. In the case of a Straddle Period, the portion of Taxes attributable to such Straddle Period that are allocated to thePre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period shall be determined as follows:

(i) the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, gains, or receipts, or any Taxes other than Property Taxes, of the Acquired Entities attributable to thePre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the close of business on the Closing Date;provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to,

depreciation and amortization deductions) will be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period, and

(i) the amount of any real property, personal property, ad valorem, or similar Taxes (“Property Taxes”) of the Acquired Entities attributable to thePre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period will be deemed to be the total amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period up to and including the Closing Date, and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period.

(e) Refunds. The amount or economic benefit of any refund (whether in cash or as a credit against or offset to any Tax) of any Tax of the Acquired Entities attributable to anyPre-Closing Tax Period received by the Buyer, any Acquired Entity, or any of their respective Affiliates, but only if and to the extent such refund of Taxes exceeds the amount, if any, taken into account in the final and binding Closing Working Capital, shall be for the account of the Seller. Any such amount (including any interest received thereon) shall be paid by the Buyer to the Seller for distribution to the Seller within five business days after any such refund is received, credited or applied as an offset, as the case may be.

(f) Tax Cooperation. Each party shall (and shall cause its Affiliates) to provide the other parties with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by the other such party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return of or with respect to an Acquired Entity or during the course of any audit, investigation, or other examination by a Tax authority or any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes of or attributable to an Acquired Entity. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the request of another party) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Returns or audit, examination, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Buyer agrees (i) to retain, and, following the Closing, to cause the Acquired Entities to retain, all books and records with respect to Tax matters relating to the Acquired Entities for any Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning on or before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective Tax period, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority, and (ii) to give the Seller reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying, or discarding any such books and records and, if the Seller so requests, the Buyer or such Acquired Entity, as the case may be, shall allow the Seller to take possession of such books and records. Each party further agrees, upon reasonable request by another party, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce, or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed on the Seller, the Buyer or any Acquired Entity (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(g) Tax Contests.

(i) The Buyer agrees to give prompt written notice to the Seller if it or any Buyer Indemnitee receives any communication or notice with respect to any audit, review, examination, assessment, or any other administrative or judicial proceeding with the purpose or effect ofre-determining Taxes of or with respect to an Acquired Entity (including any administrative or judicial review of any claim for refund) for which the Seller may be required to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (a “Tax Contest”).

(ii) The Seller shall have the right to control and defend the conduct of any Tax Contest covering any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Contest”) with counsel (including, for the avoidance of doubt, accountants) of its choice;provided, that (A) the Seller shall keep the Buyer reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of thePre-Closing Tax Contest, (B) the Buyer may monitor and observe (and retain separate counsel at its sole cost and expense to monitor and observe) the defense of thePre-Closing Tax Contest, including, to the extent the circumstances allow, having an opportunity to review any written materials prepared in connection with thePre-Closing Tax Contest and the right to attend any conferences relating thereto, and (C) the Seller will not settle or consent to the entry of any order, ruling, decision, or other similar determination or finding with respect to suchPre-Closing Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(iii) The Buyer shall have the right to control and defend any Tax Contest covering any Straddle Period, any Tax Contest that is not aPre-Closing Tax Contest, or anyPre-Closing Tax Contest for which the Seller has not assumed its right to control and defend suchPre-Closing Tax Contest as contemplated bySection 5.7(i)(ii) (an “Other Tax Contest”) with counsel (including, for the avoidance of doubt, accountants) of its choice;provided, that, with respect to any Tax items in the Other Tax Contest for which the resulting Tax liability the Seller would be required to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, (A) the Buyer shall keep the Seller reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax items in the Other Tax Contest, (B) the Seller may assume joint control and retain separateco-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such Tax items in the Other Tax Contest, including having an opportunity to review and comment on any written materials prepared in connection with such Tax items in the Other Tax Contest and the right to attend and participate in any conferences relating thereto, and (C) the Buyer will not settle or consent to the entry of any order, ruling, decision, or other similar determination or finding with respect to such Tax items in the Other Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

Each party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate, reduce, or eliminate any Transfer Taxes.

(i) Tax Treatment; Allocation of Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties intend that the Acquisition be treated as a purchase and sale of assets for U.S. federal income Tax purposes. Within 30 days following the final determination of the Final Purchase Price, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Final Purchase Price (plus liabilities of the Acquired Entities and any other relevant items) among the assets of the

Acquired Entities for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting). The Allocation Schedule shall be reasonable and shall be determined in good faith by the Buyer after reasonable consultation with the Seller, and shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

If Buyer shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such seven-year period, Buyer shall, prior to such disposition, give Seller a reasonable opportunity, at Seller’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as Seller may select. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Buyer nor any Acquired Entity shall be required to violate any obligation of confidentiality or Law to which Buyer or an Acquired Entity is subject or to waive any privilege which any of them may possess in discharging their obligations pursuant to this Section 5.9 (it being understood that Buyer shall cause the Company to take reasonable actions to eliminate any such impediments to providing such information). For a period of seven years after the Closing Date, Buyer and its Representatives shall make available for inspection and copying by the Buyer or its Representatives at Buyer’s expense, during regular business hours and upon reasonable request and upon reasonable advance notice all of the books and records relating to the Shares, the Acquired Entities or the Acquired Business which Seller or any of its Affiliates may retain after the Closing Date.

Section 5.12 Employee Matters. The Buyer will cause the Company to continue to employ immediately after the Closing all of the then-current Company Employees (including such persons on disability or leave of absence, whether paid or unpaid); provided, however, that the foregoing does not give any person the right to be employed for any period or restrict in any way the right of the Company or the Buyer to thereafter terminate any person’s employment. Neither Seller nor Company nor any Representative or Affiliate of Seller or Company shall make any communication to any employee of any Acquired Entity regarding any employee benefit plan maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates or any compensation or benefits to be provided after the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Buyer.

Section 8.2 Indemnification of the Buyer Indemnitees. Subject to the applicable provisions of thisArticle VIII, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnitee against all Third-Party Claims and all Damages that arise from, are based on or relate or otherwise are attributable to, without duplication (each such Third-Party Claim or Damage referred to in clauses (a) through (e) below being a “Buyer Indemnified Loss”):

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representations and warranties of Seller set forth inArticle II;

(b) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller under this Agreement;

(d) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company under this Agreement to the extent of performance prior to the Closing;

Section 8.4 Conditions of Indemnification.

(a) All Claims for indemnification underSection 8.2 orSection 8.3 shall be asserted and resolved as thisSection 8.4 provides.

(b) In the event a Party (an “Indemnified Party”) (i) believes in good faith that it has suffered or incurred Damages or (ii) learns of or receives notice of any commencement of any Proceeding, the written assertion of any Third-Party Claim or the imposition of any penalty, assessment or judgment, in each case for which indemnity may be sought pursuant toSection 8.2orSection 8.3, and such Party intends to seek indemnity from another Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant toSection 8.2 orSection 8.3, such Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party (or, if the Indemnifying Party is a Seller, the Seller) with written notice (a “Claim Notice”), which, in the case of a Claim Notice involving a Proceeding, Third-Party Claim, penalty, assessment or judgment shall be delivered reasonably promptly after the Indemnified Party receives written notice of such Proceeding, Third-Party Claim, penalty, assessment or judgment;provided, however, that any Claim Notice must be received by the Indemnifying Party (or, if the Indemnifying Party is a Seller, the Seller) prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period. Each Claim Notice shall describe, with as much detail as is reasonably practicable, the basis of the Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect to that Claim (if any) and all other material written evidence thereof, an estimate of the amount of damages attributable to that Claim to the extent feasible (which estimate will not be conclusive of the final amount of that Claim) and the basis for the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. The failure to promptly deliver a Claim Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations to the Indemnified Party with respect to the related Third-Party Claim (i) unless the Indemnified Party fails to deliver a valid Claim Notice prior to expiration of the applicable Survival Period or (ii) unless and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

(c) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice from an Indemnified Party with respect to a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may elect to assume and control the defense of any such Third-Party Claim or any Proceeding resulting therefrom. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume and control the defense of a Third-Party Claim or any Proceeding resulting therefrom, the Indemnifying Party shall not, so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under thisArticle VIII for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, except as otherwise provided by thisSection 8.4(c). In the event that an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party will have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party will furnish the Indemnifying Party with all information in its possession, custody or control with respect to such Third-Party Claim and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pretrial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge of such Third-Party Claim, including by providing the party with all reasonably requested information and reasonable access to employees and officers (including as witnesses) and the right to inspect and copy documents and records or other information;provided, however, the Indemnifying Party will not consent to any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Third-Party Claim that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a full and unconditional release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall settle, compromise or make any other disposition of any Third-Party Claim which would or might result in any liability to the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, respectively, under thisArticle VIII without the written consent of such other Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Party agreeing to such settlement, compromise or disposition. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim the Indemnifying Party controls under thisSection 8.4(c) and will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to that participation;provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there is a conflict of interest which renders it inadvisable for one firm to represent the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party (provided, that such counsel is limited to one separate firm of attorneys, in addition to one local counsel firm), and, on its written notification of that employment, the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to assume or continue the defense of that action on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The provisions of thisSection 8.4(c) shall not apply to Tax Contests, which shall be governed by the provisions ofSection 5.7(g).

(d) NotwithstandingSection 8.4(c), if (i) the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party under thisArticle VIII, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party underSection 8.4(c), (iii) the Indemnifying Party does not continue to diligently pursue the defense of the Third-Party Claim following notice of election to defend, (iv) a Buyer Indemnitee is the Indemnified Party and the anticipated Buyer Indemnified Losses in respect of such Third-Party Claim would, or would reasonably be expected to, exceed thethen-remaining balance of the Indemnity Escrow Funds (reduced by the aggregate amount of all Reserved Amounts), (v) theThird-Party Claim seeks injunctive or other nonmonetary relief against the Indemnified Party, (vi) the Third-Party Claim involves a material customer or supplier of the Indemnified Party or (vii) the Third-Party Claim

relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, indictment, allegation, investigation or other Proceeding, then the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (if the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder), the Third-Party Claim by such actions as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to such Third-Party Claim;provided, however, the Indemnified Party will not enter into any settlement with respect to any Third-Party Claim that would result in payment of an amount for which the Indemnifying Party would be liable under thisArticle VIII without the prior consent of that Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the conduct of such defense by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement the Indemnified Party controls under thisSection 8.4(d), and the Indemnifying Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to that participation. The provisions of thisSection 8.4(d) shall not apply to Tax Contests, which shall be governed by the provisions ofSection 5.7(g).

Section 8.5 Payments by an Indemnifying Party. Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party under thisArticle VIII relating to a Third-Party Claim will be made within 30 days after the latest of (a) the settlement of that Third-Party Claim, (b) the expiration of the period for appeal of a final adjudication of that Third-Party Claim or (c) the expiration of the period for appeal of a final adjudication of the Indemnifying Party’s liability to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement in respect of that Third-Party Claim.

Section 8.6 Procedures for Direct Claims.

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a claim for indemnification against the Buyer or the Seller, respectively, hereunder that are not based upon Third-Party Claims (such Claims, “Direct Claims”) to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such Direct Claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Payments of all amounts owing by a Party pursuant toSection 8.6(a) will be made within 30 days after the settlement, agreement or expiration of the period for appeal of a final adjudication of such Party’s liability with respect to such amount under this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Certain Limitations on Indemnification for Third-Party Claims and Direct Claims.

(a) No indemnification shall be made by the Seller pursuant toSection 8.2(a) orSection 8.2(c) (i) unless such individual Buyer Indemnified Loss or series of related Buyer Indemnified Losses exceeds the Threshold Amount, and (ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of Buyer Indemnified Losses exceeding the Threshold Amount that would otherwise be subject to indemnification exceeds the Deductible, and, in such event, indemnification shall only be made by the Seller to the extent that the Buyer Indemnified Losses exceed the Deductible. The maximum amount that the Seller shall be required to pay pursuant toSection 8.2(a) andSection 8.2(c) in respect of all Buyer Indemnified Losses shall not exceed the Damages Cap, after which point the Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against further Buyer Indemnified

Losses pursuant toSection 8.2(a) andSection 8.2(c). The Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer underSection 8.2(b),Section 8.2(d),Section 8.2(e) orSection 9.13 shall not be subject to any of the limitations in thisSection 8.7.

(b) No indemnification shall be made by the Buyer pursuant toSection 8.3(a) (i) unless such Seller Indemnified Loss or series of Seller Indemnified Losses exceeds the Threshold Amount, and (ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of Seller Indemnified Losses exceeding the Threshold Amount that would be subject to indemnification exceeds the Deductible, and, in such event, indemnification shall only be made by the Buyer to the extent that the Seller Indemnified Losses exceed the Deductible. The maximum amount that the Buyer shall be required to pay pursuant toSection 8.3(a) in respect of all Seller Indemnified Losses shall not exceed the Damages Cap, after which point the Buyer shall have no obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against further Seller Indemnified Losses. The Buyer’s obligations to pay the Seller the Purchase Price and the Buyer’s obligations to indemnify the Seller underSection 8.3(b) orSection 9.13 shall not be subject to any of the limitations in thisSection 8.7.

(c) The limitations set forth inSection 8.7(a) andSection 8.7(b) shall not apply to Buyer Indemnified Losses or Seller Indemnified Losses, respectively, based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any Seller Fundamental Representation, Company Fundamental Representation or Buyer Fundamental Representation.

(d) The amount of any Buyer Indemnified Losses shall be reduced by (i) any amount actually received by a Buyer Indemnitee with respect thereto under any insurance coverage (other than self-insurance or insurance coverage provided by any captive insurance company that is an Affiliate of a Buyer Indemnitee) or from any other party alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) the amount of any Tax Benefit actually realized by the Buyer Indemnitee relating thereto. Any Indemnified Party having a claim underArticle VIII shall use commercially reasonable efforts (provided that no Indemnified Party shall be obligated to threaten or bring any Proceeding) to recover any Damages from insurers of such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates under applicable insurance policies, in each case as to reduce the amount of any indemnifiable Damages hereunder. If such a recovery or benefit is received or enjoyed by an Indemnified Party after it receives payment or other credit under this Agreement with respect to any Damages, then a refund equal in aggregate amount of such recovery, reduction or setoff (net of reasonable expenses and Tax or other costs incurred in obtaining such recovery or benefit) will be made promptly to such Indemnifying Party. For purposes of thisSection 8.7(d), a “Tax Benefit” shall mean a reduction in the Buyer Indemnitee’s Taxes (calculated net of any Tax detriment resulting from the receipt of any indemnification payment, including the present value of any Tax detriment resulting from the loss of any depreciation and amortization deductions over time, calculated using a discount rate of 3.5%) arising out of any Damages that create a Tax deduction, credit or other Tax benefit. In computing the amount of any such Tax Benefit, the Buyer Indemnitee shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any Buyer Indemnified Losses.

(e) The amount of any Seller Indemnified Losses shall be reduced by (i) any amount actually received by a Seller Indemnitee with respect thereto under any insurance coverage (other than self-insurance or insurance coverage provided by any captive insurance company that is an Affiliate of a Seller Indemnitee) or from any other party alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) the amount of any Tax Benefit actually realized by the Seller Indemnitee relating thereto. Any Indemnified Party having a claim underArticle VIII shall use commercially reasonable efforts

(provided that no Indemnified Party shall be obligated to threaten or bring any Proceeding) to recover any Damages from insurers of such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates under applicable insurance policies, in each case as to reduce the amount of any indemnifiable Damages hereunder. If such a recovery or benefit is received or enjoyed by an Indemnified Party after it receives payment or other credit under this Agreement with respect to any Damages, then a refund equal in aggregate amount of such recovery, reduction or setoff (net of reasonable expenses and Tax or other costs incurred in obtaining such recovery or benefit) will be made promptly to such Indemnifying Party. For purposes of thisSection 8.7(e), a “Tax Benefit” shall mean a reduction in the Seller Indemnitee’s Taxes (calculated net of any Tax detriment resulting from the receipt of any indemnification payment, including the present value of any Tax detriment resulting from the loss of any depreciation and amortization deductions over time, calculated using a discount rate of 3.5%) arising out of any Damages that create a Tax deduction, credit or other Tax benefit. In computing the amount of any such Tax Benefit, the Seller Indemnitee shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any Seller Indemnified Losses.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to any indemnification under thisArticle VIII if any Tax attributes of the Company or any other Acquired Entity (including net operating loss carryovers, capital loss carryovers, adjusted basis, or credits) are not available to the Company or any other Acquired Entity or any other Person for any Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date.

Section 8.9 Escrow.

(a) In the event any Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification for Buyer Indemnified Losses underSection 8.2(a) orSection 8.2(c), such Buyer Indemnitee shall seek payment first out of the Indemnity Escrow Funds, and such Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek payment directly from the Seller for such Buyer Indemnified Losses only if the Indemnity Escrow Funds are reduced to zero, subject in all cases to the terms, conditions and limitations of thisArticle VIII and the Escrow Agreement. Any Claim Notice delivered by a Buyer Indemnitee to the Seller in respect of indemnification under this Agreement which may involve payment out of the Indemnity Escrow Funds shall include, in addition to any other information required by thisArticle VIII, the Buyer Indemnitee’s good faith estimate to the extent feasible (which estimate will not be conclusive of the final amount of that Claim) of the amount of Indemnity Escrow Funds that should be reserved in respect of such Buyer Indemnified Losses (the “Reserved Amount”).

(b) Upon final resolution of any Claim pursuant to thisArticle VIII where a Buyer Indemnitee seeks payment out of the Indemnity Escrow Funds, the Seller and the Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement to pay to the Buyer Indemnitee the lesser of (i) the amount of the Buyer Indemnified Losses in respect of such Claim and (ii) the balance of the Indemnity Escrow Funds.

(c) On the date that is six months following the Closing Date (the “First Escrow Release Date”), the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement shall, and the Seller and the Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to, pay to the Seller an amount equal to $3,281,250 less the sum of (i) the aggregate amount paid to the Buyer Indemnities in respect of Claims prior to the First Release Date, if any, and (ii) the aggregate Reserved Amount as of the First Escrow Release Date in respect of all unresolved Claims for indemnification properly made by the Buyer Indemnitees prior to the First Escrow Release Date, if any (provided that in the event the sum of (i) and (ii) is equal to or greater than $3,281,250, no funds shall be paid to the Seller on the First Escrow Release Date).

(d) On the date that is twelve months following the Closing Date (the “Second Escrow Release Date”), the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement shall, and the Seller and the Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to, pay to the Seller an amount equal to $6,562,500 less the sum of (i) the amount paid to the Seller on the First Escrow Release Date, (ii) the aggregate amount paid to the Buyer Indemnities in respect of Claims prior to the Second Release Date, if any, and (iii) the aggregate Reserved Amount as of the Second Escrow Release Date in respect of all unresolved Claims for indemnification properly made by the Buyer Indemnitees prior to the Second Escrow Release Date, if any (provided that in the event the sum of (i), (ii) and (iii) is equal to or greater than $6,562,500, no funds shall be paid to the Seller on the Second Escrow Release Date).

(e) On theCut-Off Date, the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement shall, and the Seller and the Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to, pay to the Seller, the excess of the balance then on deposit pursuant to the Escrow Agreement over the aggregate Reserved Amount in respect of all unresolved Claims for indemnification properly made by the Buyer Indemnitees prior to theCut-Off Date, if any.

(f) Following theCut-Off Date, from time to time, upon resolution of any Claim for indemnification made by the Buyer Indemnitees and the appropriate amount, if any, from the Indemnity Escrow Funds having been paid to the Buyer Indemnitees in respect of such Claims, the Seller and the Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to the Seller, the excess of the balance then on deposit pursuant to the Escrow Agreement over the aggregate Reserved Amount in respect of all remaining unresolved Claims for indemnification properly made by the Buyer Indemnitees prior to theCut-Off Date, if any.

Section 8.12 No Multiple Recoveries.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event any Party (or any other indemnitee) is entitled to a payment or other benefit under more than one provision of this Agreement arising out of or resulting from the same set of facts or circumstances and such Person has already been made whole by payment or another benefit under one of those provisions, in no event shall such Person be entitled to receive a subsequent payment or benefit under any other provision of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be without duplication (i.e., without allowing the claiming Party (or other indemnitee) to receive more than its Damages) by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(b) The Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under thisArticle VIII for Buyer Indemnified Losses to the extent such Buyer Indemnified Losses were taken into account in the determination of the adjustment provisions in accordance withSection 1.2 orSection 1.4.

Section 8.13 No Setoff. Neither the Buyer nor any Seller shall have any right to set off any amounts owed to a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee, respectively, under thisArticle VIII against any payments to be made by either of them under any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Section 8.14 Subrogation. Seller hereby irrevocably waives and releases any right of contribution, subrogation or any similar right against the Acquired Entities and any Buyer Indemnitee in respect of matters that are or may become the subject of indemnification claims hereunder and any indemnification payments that Seller may, at any time, be required to make to any Buyer indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement, whether directly or indirectly through its interest in the Indemnity Escrow Funds.

Section 8.15 Manner of Construction. In determining (a) whether there is a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Buyer, the Seller or the Company pursuant to this Agreement or in any certificate delivered in connection herewith and (b) the amount of Buyer Indemnified Losses or Seller Indemnified Losses in connection therewith or arising therefrom, such representation, warranty or certification shall be considered, in each case, without giving effect to any materiality, Buyer Material Adverse Effect, Seller Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications limiting the scope of such representation, warranty or certification;provided,however, that thisSection 8.15 will not apply (i) where any such representation, warranty or certification requires disclosure of lists of items of a material nature or are qualified based on “Seller Material Adverse Effect” in which case such qualifier shall not be deleted or (ii) in the case of the representations and warranties inSection 3.8(b) and, for the avoidance of doubt, the term “Material” shall not be deemed to be deleted from the terms “Material Agreements,” “Material Customers” or “Material Suppliers.”

Section 8.16 Mitigation. Each Party shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates and Representatives to, take such measures as are required by applicable Law to mitigate any Buyer Indemnified Losses or Seller Indemnified Losses, as applicable, upon and after becoming aware of

any fact, event, circumstance or condition that has given rise to, or would reasonably be expected to give rise to, any Buyer Indemnified Losses or Seller Indemnified Losses, as applicable, that are indemnifiable hereunder and to avoid any costs or expenses associated with such claim and, if such costs and expenses cannot be avoided, to minimize the amount thereof.

Section 8.17 Purchase Price Adjustment. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, for all Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat (and will cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any indemnification payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 9.3 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

(c) Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason in equity or at law, other than on the basis that such remedy is not expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(c) Each Other Party, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Other Party Group Members (which includes those Persons that are or after Closing will be Affiliates of such Other Party), hereby consents to the disclosure by DD to the Seller or any of their Affiliates, directors, members, partners, officers or employees of any information learned by DD in the course of its representation of the Seller or their Affiliates, whether or not such information is subject to attorney client privilege or DD’s duty of confidentiality.
