Seller may, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet, deliver a notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Buyer setting forth in reasonable detail Seller’s calculation of the Cash and Cash Equivalents and Working Capital of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time and Seller’s listing (including amounts) of the Company Fees and Expenses unpaid at the Effective Time. If Seller does not deliver an Objection Notice within such thirty (30) calendar day period, then Buyer’s calculations of the Cash and Cash Equivalents and Working Capital based upon the Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed to be the Actual Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents and the Actual Closing Working Capital (as defined below), Buyer’s listing (including amounts) of the Company Fees and Expenses unpaid at the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the Actual Unpaid Company Fees and Expenses (as defined below). If Seller delivers an Objection Notice to Buyer, then Buyer and Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreement as to the computation of the Cash and Cash Equivalents and Working Capital of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time and the Company Fees and Expenses unpaid at the Effective Time, in each case as soon as practicable, but if they can not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) calendar days after Buyer has received the Objection Notice, Buyer and Seller will jointly retain KPMG LLP or, if agreed by Buyer and Seller, another internationally recognized accounting firm of comparable stature acceptable to both Buyer and Seller (the “Accounting Firm”). Buyer and Seller will direct the Accounting Firm to render a determination within thirty (30) calendar days of its retention and Buyer and Seller and their respective agents will cooperate with the Accounting Firm during its engagement. The Accounting Firm will consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Objection Notice that Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. In rendering its determination, the Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The Accounting Firm’s determination will be based on such review as the Accounting Firm deems necessary to make its determination, the definitions of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Working Capital and Company Fees and Expenses set forth in this Agreement and the methodologies, practices and assumptions used in preparing the Base Balance Sheet set forth on Schedule I and the requirements of GAAP (provided, that in the event of any conflict between GAAP and the methodologies, practices and assumptions used in preparing the Base Balance Sheet, the methodologies, practices and assumptions set forth on Schedule I shall govern and control). The determination of the Cash and Cash Equivalents and Working Capital of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time by the Accounting Firm, and the calculations by the Accounting Firm of the Company Fees and Expenses unpaid at the Effective Time, shall be conclusive and binding upon Buyer and Seller. Buyer and Seller shall bear the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by or on behalf of such party. The Cash and Cash Equivalents of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) is referred to herein as the “Actual Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents.” The Working Capital of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the Effective

Time as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) is referred to herein as the “Actual Closing Working Capital.” The amount of the Company Fees and Expenses unpaid at the Effective Time as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3(b), is referred to herein as the “Actual Unpaid Company Fees and Expenses.” The balance sheet that reflects the computation of the Actual Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents and the Actual Closing Working Capital is referred to herein as the “Actual Closing Balance Sheet”. The process set forth in this Section 2.3(b) shall be the exclusive remedy of Buyer and Seller for any disputes related to items reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet or covered by the calculation of the Cash and Cash Equivalents and Working Capital of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the Company Fees and Expenses unpaid at the Effective Time, whether or not the underlying facts and circumstances constitute a breach of any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement.

(i) Payment by the Buyer. If (A) the Actual Closing Working Capital, plus the Actual Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents, minus the Actual Unpaid Company Fees and Expenses, exceeds (B) the Estimated Closing Working Capital, plus the Estimated Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents, minus the Estimated Unpaid Company Fees and Expenses (the amount of such excess being the “Excess Amount”), then the Net Purchase Price will be increased by such Excess Amount, and Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days after the determination thereof, pay to Seller an amount equal to such Excess Amount. Such payment shall be made to Seller in cash, by cashier’s or certified check, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Seller.

(ii) Payment by Seller. If (A) the Actual Closing Working Capital, plus the Actual Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents, minus the Actual Unpaid Company Fees and Expenses, is less than (B) the Estimated Closing Working Capital, plus the Estimated Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents, minus the Estimated Unpaid Company Fees and Expenses (the amount of such deficit being the “Deficit Amount”), then the Net Purchase Price will be decreased by such Deficit Amount, and Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days after the determination thereof, pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Deficit Amount. Such payment shall be made to Buyer in cash, by cashier’s or certified check, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Buyer.

2.4 Payoff Letters; Other Pre-Closing Matters.

(a) Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer payoff letters from the lenders with respect to all Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that will remain unpaid at the Effective Time other than those obligations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries under leases required in accordance with GAAP to be capitalized on a balance sheet of the lessee that Buyer has elected to maintain in effect

after the Effective Time and of which Buyer has provided notice to Seller no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing (the “Continuing Capitalized Leases”). Simultaneously with the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to repay the entire amount of outstanding principal and interest with respect to any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, but excluding the Continuing Capitalized Leases, in accordance with the payoff letter instructions provided pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds as directed by the holders of such Indebtedness for Borrowed Money.

(b) Prior to the Closing, (i) Seller shall assign to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries all of its rights under each of the agreements listed in Section 2.4(b) of the Disclosure Letter as to be assigned, and (ii) Seller shall terminate each of the agreements listed in Section 2.4(b) of the Disclosure Letter as to be terminated.

2.5 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar transaction taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest), if any, imposed solely and directly by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Buyer when due, and Buyer will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, Seller will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

2.6 Parent Guaranty. Parent, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment, performance or discharge when due of all obligations and liabilities (including, without limitation, indemnities and fees) of Buyer now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). All payments, performance and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations by Parent under this Section 2.6 shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as payments, performance and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations by Buyer under this Agreement. Parent hereby waives notice of any obligation or liability to which this guaranty may apply, and waives presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any such obligation or liability, suit or taking of other action by Seller against, and any other notice to any party liable thereon (including Parent). The obligations of Parent under this Section 2.6 are absolute and unconditional in respect of satisfying the Guaranteed Obligations and shall be enforceable against Parent to the extent enforceable against Buyer under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 2.6 shall not be affected or impaired by any of the following: (i) the occurrence or continuance of any event of bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency with respect to Buyer, or the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Parent or Buyer; (ii) the exercise, non-exercise or delay in exercise, by Seller of any of its rights and remedies under this Section 2.6 or this Agreement generally; (iii) any assignment by Seller or Buyer of their respective rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the

terms hereof; or (iv) any sale, transfer or other disposition by Parent of any direct or indirect interest it may have in Buyer.

The Company and each Company Subsidiary are duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the ownership, lease or operation of its properties makes such qualification necessary, other than where the failure to be so duly licensed or qualified has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.1 of the Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of each Company Subsidiary. Other than capital stock or other equity interests of the Company Subsidiaries, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary owns, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other equity interests in or of any Person.

4.2 Certificates of Incorporation and By-Laws; Corporate Records. Seller has furnished or made available to Buyer a copy of the certificate or articles of incorporation and the by-laws or similar organizational documents (collectively “Organizational Documents”), in each case, as amended or restated to date, of the Company and each Company Subsidiary.

All such shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each Company Subsidiary that are owned by the Company or any Company Subsidiary are owned free and clear of any and all Liens.

(c) (i) There are no options, warrants or other rights (including registration rights), agreements, arrangements or commitments to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party relating to the issued or unissued capital stock or

other equity interests of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or obligating the Company or any Company Subsidiary to grant, issue or sell any shares of the capital stock or other equity interests of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or subjecting any such share of capital stock or other equity interest to any right of first refusal, right of first offer, tag-along right, drag-along right or similar right; (ii) there are no obligations, contingent or otherwise, of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of the capital stock or other equity interests of the Company or any Company Subsidiary; and (iii) there are no voting trusts, proxies or other agreements or understandings to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is bound with respect to the voting of any shares of capital stock or other equity interests of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller.

4.5 No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

(a) The execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement does not, and the performance by Seller of this Agreement will not, (i) conflict with or violate in any material respect the Organizational Documents of Seller, the Company or any Company Subsidiary, (ii) conflict with or violate in any material respect any Laws applicable to Seller, the Company or any Company Subsidiary or by or to which any of their respective properties or assets is bound or subject or (iii) result in any breach of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, any Material Contract or result in the creation of a Lien on any of the assets or properties of the Company or any Company Subsidiary other than such breaches, defaults or Liens as would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement will not require Seller, the Company or any Company Subsidiary to obtain any material consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing with or notification to (“Consent”), any Governmental Entity or any third party, except for (i) applicable requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”); and (ii) as may be necessary as a result of any fact or circumstance relating solely to Buyer (including, without limitation, its sources of financing).

(b) Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has any liabilities of any kind that would have been required to be reflected in or reserved against on the Base Balance Sheet in accordance with GAAP and were not so reflected or reserved against, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business after the date of the Base Balance Sheet, (ii) liabilities incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and (iii) liabilities that have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.8 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since the date of the Base Balance Sheet, (a) the Company and each Company Subsidiary has conducted its business in the ordinary course, consistent in all material respects with past practice, and (b) neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has engaged in or taken any action which would be prohibited by clauses (a), (b), (e), (f), (g), (i), (l), (m) or (p) of Section 6.2 if taken after the date hereof.

4.9 Absence of Litigation. (a) There is no claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation of any kind, at law or in equity (including actions or proceedings seeking injunctive relief), by or before any Governmental Entity or by or on behalf of any third party (“Litigation”) pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened in writing against the Company or any Company Subsidiary or affecting any of their respective businesses, assets or rights, which in any such case, if adversely determined or concluded, would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is a party or subject to or in default under any material judgment, order or decree of any Governmental Entity.

4.10 Employee Benefit Plans; ERISA.

(a) Section 4.10(a) of the Disclosure Letter contains a list of each employee benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA (as hereinafter defined), including but not limited to, each bonus, deferred compensation, incentive compensation, stock purchase, stock option, severance or termination pay, hospitalization or other medical, life or other insurance, supplemental unemployment benefits, profit sharing, pension or retirement plan, program, agreement or arrangement, and each other program, agreement or arrangement, sponsored, maintained or contributed to or required to be contributed to by the Company or any Company Subsidiary or by any trade or business, whether or not incorporated (an “ERISA Affiliate”), that together with the Company or any Company Subsidiary would be deemed a “single employer” within the meaning of Section 4001 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“ERISA”), for the benefit of any employee, retired employee or terminated employee of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate, whether formal or informal (individually, a “Plan” and, collectively, the “Plans”). Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate has any formal plan or commitment, whether legally

binding or not, to create any additional Plan or modify or change any existing Plan (except as required by applicable Law) in a way that would materially affect any employee, retired employee or terminated employee of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate, nor has any intention to do any of the foregoing been communicated to any employee, retired employee or terminated employee of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate.

(b) With respect to each of the Plans, Seller has heretofore made available to Buyer copies of each of the following documents: (i) a copy of the Plan (including all amendments thereto); (ii) a copy of the prior two years of annual reports and summary annual reports, if required under ERISA; (iii) if the Plan is funded through a trust or any third-party funding vehicle, a copy of the trust or other funding agreement (including all amendments thereto), the prior two years of financial statements and copies of any reports required by the Code or the Department of Labor and applicable rules and regulations; (iv) the most recent determination letter received from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to each Plan to the extent applicable; and (v) the most recent summary plan descriptions with respect to each of the Plans, all of which have been timely distributed to participants and beneficiaries.

No liability under Title IV of ERISA has been incurred by the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate that has not been satisfied in full, except where such failure to satisfy would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and no condition exists that presents a risk to the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring a liability under Title IV of ERISA which would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Each Plan which is an employee pension plan under ERISA meets the requirements of a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, has received within the last two years a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service as to its qualification and, to the Knowledge of Seller, no event has occurred that could reasonably be expected to result in disqualification of such Plan.

(d) Except as has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, each Plan has been operated and administered in accordance with its terms and applicable Law, including, but not limited to, ERISA, the Code and other applicable Laws relating to Taxes. There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened claims by or on behalf of any of the Plans, by any employee or beneficiary covered under any such Plan or otherwise involving any such Plan (other than routine claims for benefits).

(e) Except as required by applicable Law, no Plan provides benefits, including death or medical benefits (whether or not insured), with respect to current or former employees of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate beyond their retirement or other termination of service.

(f) The performance by Seller of this Agreement will not, in any respect, (i) entitle any current or former director, officer or employee of the Company

or any ERISA Affiliate to severance pay, unemployment compensation or any other payment, or (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount of compensation due any such director, officer or employee.

(g) The requirements of COBRA, the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993, as amended, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, and any amendment to each such act, and any similar provisions of state law have been met in all material respects with respect to each Plan to which they have application, as they relate to employees or former employees of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate.

(h) All contributions and/or premiums (including all Company, Company Subsidiary and ERISA Affiliate contributions and employee salary reduction contributions) that are due to have been paid to each such Plan have been paid to each such Plan or accrued in accordance with the past custom and practice of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and any ERISA Affiliate.

(i) No Plan has been completely or partially terminated or been the subject of a reportable event under ERISA as to which notices were or would be required to be filed with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. No proceeding by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation to terminate any such Plan has been instituted or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened.

(j) There have been no prohibited transactions with respect to any such Plan under ERISA. To the Knowledge of the Seller, no fiduciary has any liability for breach of fiduciary duty or any other failure to act or comply in connection with the administration or investment of the assets of any such Plan under ERISA. No action, suit, proceeding, hearing or investigation with respect to the administration or the investment of the assets of any such Plan is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened. No audit, inquiry or procedure is pending or threatened by the Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Department of Labor or other Governmental Entity.

(k) None of the Company, any Company Subsidiary, any ERISA Affiliate or any other members of the controlled group (as defined in the Code) has ever contributed to, or has ever been required to contribute to, any multiemployer plan (as defined in ERISA Section 3(37)) or has any liability (including withdrawal liability as defined in ERISA Section 4201 under any multiemployer plan.

(l) None of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate is a party to any agreement, contract or arrangement that would reasonably be expected to result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign Law) or in the payment of any nonqualified deferred compensation subject to an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign Law).

(m) The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4.10 shall constitute the only representations and warranties with respect to the Plans.

5.6 Sufficient Funds.

(a) Exhibit B sets forth copies of executed commitment letters from Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Credit Suisse AG, UBS Securities LLC, UBS Loan Finance LLC, Barclays Capital and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc.

(b) As of the date of this Agreement, the Financing Commitments are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified in any respect. Each of the Financing Commitments, in the form so delivered, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer and, to the knowledge of Buyer, the other parties thereto. There are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements relating to the Financing Commitments that could affect the availability of the Financing. No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Buyer under any term or condition of the Financing Commitments, and, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Seller set forth herein and compliance in all material respects by the Seller with Sections 6.1 and 6.11, Buyer has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy, on a timely basis, any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it, contained in the Financing Commitments.

Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Seller set forth herein and compliance in all material respects by the Seller with Sections 6.1 and 6.11, the aggregate proceeds from the Financing, together will cash and borrowings under existing credit facilities, and are sufficient for satisfaction of all of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the payment of the Net Purchase Price and the payment of all associated costs and expenses (including any required refinancing of indebtedness of Buyer, the “Required Amount”).

Commitments contain all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the parties thereunder to make the Financing available to Buyer on the terms set forth therein. As of the date of this Agreement, none of the Financing Commitments has been withdrawn and Buyer does not know of any facts or circumstances that may be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments not being satisfied. To the extent this Agreement must be in a form acceptable to any lender providing Financing, such lender or lenders have approved this Agreement.

(c) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding Buyer’s, its Affiliates’, or any other Person’s ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

For the purposes of this Section 5.7, the term “Solvent” when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination, (a) the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, exceed (i) the value of all “liabilities of such Person, including contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable federal laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, and (ii) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Person on its existing debts (including contingent liabilities) as such debts become absolute and matured, (b) such Person will not have, as of such date, unreasonably small capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date and (c) such Person will be able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature.

5.10 Inspection; No Other Representations. Buyer is an informed and sophisticated purchaser, and has engaged advisors, experienced in the evaluation and purchase of companies such as the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as contemplated hereunder. Buyer has undertaken such investigation and has been provided with and have evaluated such documents and information as it has deemed necessary to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to the execution, delivery and

performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer agrees to accept the Shares without reliance upon any express or implied representations or warranties of any nature, whether in writing, orally or otherwise, made by or on behalf of or imputed to Seller or the Company, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that neither Seller nor the Company make any representation or warranty with respect to (a) any projections, estimates or budgets delivered to or made available to Buyer of future revenues, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows or future financial condition (or any component thereof) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or the future business and operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or (b) any other information or documents made available to Buyer or its counsel, accountants or advisors with respect to the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, assets, liabilities or operations, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement. In connection with Buyer’s investigation of the Company and each Company Subsidiary, Seller has delivered, or made available to Buyer and its Affiliates, agents and representatives, certain projections and other forecasts, including but not limited to, projected financial statements, cash flow items and other data of the Company and Company Subsidiaries relating to the business of the Company and Company Subsidiaries and certain business plan information of the Company and Company Subsidiaries. Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections and other forecasts and plans and accordingly is not relying on them, that Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, and that Buyer and its Affiliates, agents and representatives shall have no claim against any Person with respect thereto. Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that, without limiting the generality of Section 4.24, neither Seller nor any of its representatives, agents or Affiliates (including the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) have made any representation or warranty with respect to such projections and other forecasts and plans.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer (i) shall provide Seller with reasonable advance notice of any request for access pursuant to this Section 6.3; and (ii) shall avoid any undue disruption to the business operations of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries.

6.4 Confidentiality. From and after the date hereof (including after the Closing Date), each of the Seller and Buyer shall continue to comply with all of their respective obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2010, between Seller and Buyer (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall survive any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

6.5 Continuation of Indemnification. Buyer and Seller agree that, after the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to continue to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ present and former directors, officers, employees and agents, in each case in their capacities as such, from and against all damages, costs and expenses actually incurred or suffered in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity by any Person or any arbitration or administrative or other proceeding relating to the business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or the status of such individual as a director, officer, employee or agent at or prior to the Closing, and in furtherance thereof to advance to such present and former directors, officers, employees and agents expenses associated with any such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by law. Buyer

shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to retain or include in its certificate of incorporation and by-laws and the comparable organizational documents any indemnification provision or provisions, including provisions respecting the advancement of expenses, in effect immediately prior to the Closing for the benefit of the Company’s, the Company Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees and agents, and shall not thereafter amend the same (except to the extent that such amendment preserves, increases or broadens the indemnification or other rights theretofore available to such officers, directors employees and agents). If the Company or any Company Subsidiary merges into, consolidates with or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another Person, then and in each such case, Buyer shall cause the Company or the Company Subsidiary to make proper provision so that the surviving or resulting corporation or the transferee in such transaction shall assume the obligations of the under this Section 6.5. The obligations set forth in this Section 6.5 shall continue for a period of six (6) years following the Closing and shall continue in effect thereafter with respect to any action, suit or proceeding commenced prior to the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and are intended to benefit each director, officer, agent or employee who has held such capacity on or prior to the Closing Date and is either a party to an indemnification agreement with the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or now or hereafter is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to any provisions contained in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or the comparable organizational documents of any of the Company Subsidiaries.

6.6 Continuation of Insurance. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall purchase a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage, for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by the Company’s or affiliated entities’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Closing, for a period of six (6) years following the Closing with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing, that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Company’s or such other entities’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of its directors or officers, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.6 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under any such policies.

6.7 Supplemental Disclosure.

(a) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver a supplement or amendment to the Disclosure Letter with respect to any matter hereafter arising which, if existing as of the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Disclosure Letter; provided however, that any such supplemental or amended disclosure shall, for purposes of this Agreement (other than for the purposes of determining whether the conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof are satisfied), be deemed to have been disclosed as of the date of this Agreement.

(b) No such supplemental or amended disclosure shall give rise to Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement unless and until this Agreement is terminable by Buyer in accordance with Section 10.1(c)(ii).

(c) If the matters disclosed in such supplemental or amended disclosure, individually or in the aggregate, resulted in non-satisfaction of the closing condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) and such condition is waived by Buyer or if Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1(c)(ii) after notification with respect to such matter, then, after the Closing, such supplemental or amended disclosure shall be deemed to have been disclosed as of the date of this Agreement and shall be deemed to cure any breach of this Agreement for purposes of any indemnification obligations set forth in Article IX hereof.

6.8 Financial Statements. As promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event on or before the fifteenth (15^th) day of each month from the date hereof to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer copies of Seller’s internal balance sheets and statements of income and cash flow for the prior month, and upon request of Buyer such additional information as Buyer may reasonably request with respect to the financial results of Seller during such period.

6.9 Employee Matters.

(a) Buyer shall give the employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries service credit for all periods of service with the Company and the Company Subsidiaries prior to the applicable Closing Date for all purposes under any welfare or other Plans adopted or maintained by the Company or its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event shall such credit result in the duplication of benefits or the funding thereof. Buyer shall waive any limitations regarding preexisting conditions and give full credit for any co-payments made and deductibles fully or partially satisfied prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Plans, under any welfare or other Plans maintained by the Company, Buyer or any of their Affiliates on or after the Closing Date with respect to the employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries.

(b) Buyer will permit the employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to carry over and take accrued, but unused, vacation days with pay in accordance with the applicable policies of the Company as in effect as of the Closing Date, to the extent such accrued vacation is accrued for in the Actual Closing Working Capital.

(c) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Seller shall cause the Company to accrue an amount payable to each employee of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries participating in any annual bonus plan maintained by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the 2010 Executive Bonus Plan and Supplemental Executive Bonus Plan) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the amount payable to such employee pursuant to the terms of such plan based upon the Company’s most recently finalized (as of the day immediately preceding

the Closing Date) quarterly forecast for the full year performance of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for the calendar year 2010, times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed in the calendar year 2010 through the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and the denominator of which is 365. No later than ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Company to pay to each employee who was employed by the Company or any Company Subsidiary on the Closing Date such employee’s pro rata bonus as determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(d) Buyer shall cause each employee of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries who was employed by the Company or any Company Subsidiary on the Closing Date and who participated in any annual bonus plan maintained by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to become eligible to participate from and after the Closing Date in a bonus plan maintained by the Buyer which will have the effect of paying such employee for the Company’s performance from the Closing Date through December 31, 2010.

6.10 Exclusivity; No Solicitation.

(a) Until the earlier of (i) the Closing, and (ii) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, Seller agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, attorneys, advisors, accountants, bankers, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit any proposal or offer from any Person (other than Buyer or one of its Affiliates) relating to any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (A) the disposition or acquisition of all or any material portion of the business or assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; (B) the sale, issuance, grant, disposition or acquisition of (1) any capital stock or other equity security of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or (2) any option, call, warrant or right (whether or not immediately exercisable) to acquire, or any security, instrument or obligation that is or may become convertible into or exchangeable for, any capital stock or other equity security of any of the Company or any Company Subsidiary; (C) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender offer, share exchange, reorganization or similar transaction involving the Company or any Company Subsidiary, other than, in each case, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (D) any other transaction or financing which if consummated would have an adverse effect on Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement (each of (A) through (D) above, inclusive, an “Alternative Transaction”); (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations or enter into any agreement with, or provide any information to, any Person (other than Buyer or one of its Affiliates) in connection with an Alternative Transaction to be made by such Person; provided that in response to any unsolicited communications from a third party with respect to an Alternative Transaction, Seller shall be permitted to inform such third party that Seller is prohibited by this Agreement from participating in any discussions or negotiations with respect to an Alternative Transaction; or (iii) accept any proposal or offer from any Person (other than Buyer or one of its Affiliates) relating to an Alternative Transaction.

(b) Seller agrees that it shall, and shall cause its and the Company’s respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, attorneys, advisors, accountants, bankers, agents and representatives to, cease all negotiations with all third parties (other than Buyer or its Affiliates) related to an Alternative Transaction and shall not recommence such negotiations unless this Agreement is terminated.

6.11 Financing Activities.

(a) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller, the Company and their respective Affiliates have no responsibility for any financing that Buyer may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to (i) maintain in effect the Financing and the Financing Commitments, (ii) enter into definitive financing agreements with respect to the Financing, so that such agreements are in effect as promptly as practicable but in any event no later than the Closing Date, (iii) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, and (iv) enforce its rights under the Financing Commitments. Buyer shall provide to Seller copies of all documents relating to the Financing and shall keep Seller reasonably informed of material developments in respect of the financing process relating thereto. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall not agree to, or permit, any amendment or modification of, or waiver under, the Financing Commitments or other documentation relating to the Financing which could reasonably be expected to adversely effect Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, one or more Financing Commitments may be amended, modified, supplemented, restated or superseded at the option of Buyer after the date hereof but prior to the Closing (a “New Financing Commitment”); provided that the terms of any New Financing Commitment shall not (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing, (ii) expand upon the conditions precedent to the Financing as set forth in the Financing Commitment, or (iii) reasonably be expected to delay the Closing. In such event, the definitions of “Financing Commitments” and “Financing” contained herein shall be deemed to include any Financing Commitments or documents related thereto not so amended, modified, supplemented, restated or superseded, together with the New Financing Commitment. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Financing (or any alternative financing) has not been obtained, Buyer shall continue to be obligated to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 and to Buyer’s termination rights under Article X, if applicable.

(c) If, notwithstanding the use of commercially reasonable efforts by Buyer to satisfy its obligations under Section 6.10(b), any of the Financing or the Financing Commitments (or any definitive financing agreement relating thereto) expire or are terminated prior to the Closing, in whole or in part, for any reason, Buyer shall (i) promptly notify Seller of such expiration or termination and the reasons therefor and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to arrange for alternative

financing (“Replacement Financing”) (which shall be sufficient to pay the Required Amounts from other sources and which do not, without the prior consent of Seller, include any conditions of such alternative financing that are more onerous than or in addition to the conditions set forth in the Financing) to replace the financing contemplated by such expired or terminated commitments or arrangements.

(d) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to provide to Buyer, and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all out-of-pocket expenses for, all cooperation reasonably requested by Buyer that is necessary, reasonably required or customary in connection with the Financing, including the following: (i) causing the Company’s senior officers to participate in meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions (or other sessions with prospective lenders, investors and rating agencies), drafting sessions, sessions with rating agencies or other syndication activities; (ii) assisting with the preparation of appropriate and customary materials for rating agency presentations, offering documents, bank information memoranda and similar documents reasonably required in connection with the Financing; (iii) assisting with the preparation of any pledge and security documents, any loan agreement, currency or interest hedging agreement, and other definitive financing documents on terms satisfactory to Buyer, provided that no obligation of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries under any such document or agreement shall be effective until the Effective Time; (iv) facilitating the pledging of collateral, provided that no pledge shall be effective until the Effective Time; (v) furnishing on a confidential basis to Buyer and its financing sources, as promptly as practicable, such financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, including all financial statements and other financial data required by the Financing Commitments; (vi) furnishing such balance sheets, consolidated statements of income, cash flow statements and other financial information for dates and periods, as applicable, subsequent to the Financial Statements and Unaudited Interim Financial Statements (“Subsequent Period Financial Statements”) as would customarily be presented in offering documents to be utilized in connection with a financing substantially similar to the Financing and to cause the Company’s auditors to cooperate in connection with the preparation of and provide a customary comfort letter to Buyer and its financing sources; (vii) requesting that the administrative agent and collateral agent under any existing Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries provide a debt payoff letter and related ancillary agreements; (viii) providing requested officer’s certificates and representation letters; (ix) using commercially reasonably efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts of the financing sources benefit materially from the existing lending relationships of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; (x) causing the taking of corporate and other actions by Seller, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to permit the completion of the Financing; (xi) facilitating the execution and delivery (at the Closing) of definitive documents related to the Financing; and (xii) causing to be prepared and rendered requested solvency opinions, accountants’ comfort letters, accountants’ consent letters, surveys, title insurance and opinions of counsel, in each of the foregoing cases as may be necessary and customary in connection with a financing substantially similar to the Financing; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, until the Effective Time occurs, neither the Company or the Company Subsidiaries shall

(1) be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee, (2) have any liability or obligation under any loan agreement or any related document or any other agreement or document related to the Financing, or (3) be required to incur any other liability in connection with the Financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and their respective officers, employees and representatives, from and against any and all liabilities or losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith, except in the event such liabilities or losses arose out of or result from the willful misconduct of Seller, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries.

(d) the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Damages to the extent reflected or reserved for, or arising from any matter reflected or reserved for, in the Closing Balance Sheet or otherwise taken into account in the calculation of the Net Purchase Price.

9.4 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its directors, officers, managers, employees, members and Affiliates (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against all Damages asserted against, resulting from, imposed upon or suffered by any Seller Indemnified Party, arising out of or related to: (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer set forth in Article V of this Agreement; or (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer set forth in this Agreement.

9.5 Notice of Claim.

(a) As used herein, the term “Claim” means a claim for indemnification by any Buyer Indemnified Party or any Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, for Damages under this Article IX (such Person making a Claim, an “Indemnitee”). An Indemnitee may give notice of a Claim under this Agreement, whether for its own Damages or for Damages incurred by any other Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, pursuant to written notice of such Claim executed by an officer of Buyer (in the case of a Claim by a Buyer Indemnified Party) or Seller (in the case of a Claim by a Seller Indemnified Party) (a “Notice of Claim”), and delivered to the other party (such receiving party, the “Indemnitor”), promptly after such Indemnitee becomes aware of the existence of any potential Claim by such Indemnitee for indemnification under this Article IX, but in any event before the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 9.1, arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any item subject to indemnification pursuant to the terms of Section 9.2 or 9.4; or

(ii) the assertion, whether orally or in writing, against any Indemnitee of a claim, demand, suit, action, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or proceeding brought by a third party against any Indemnitee (in each such case, a “Third-Party Claim”) that arises out of or results from any item subject to indemnification pursuant to the terms of Section 9.2 or 9.4.

Each Notice of Claim by an Indemnitee shall contain the amount, if known, claimed, and a brief description, in reasonable detail (to the extent reasonably available to the Indemnitee), of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to the alleged Damages based on the Indemnitee’s good faith belief thereof, including the identity and address of any third-party claimant (to the extent reasonably available to the Indemnitee). Following delivery of the Notice of Claim (or at the same time if the Indemnitee so elects) the Indemnitee shall deliver copies of any demand or complaint, the amount of Damages, the date each such item was incurred or paid or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the specific nature of the breach to which such item is related.

9.6 Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(a) The Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice of any Third-Party Claim to the Indemnitor; provided that the failure to timely give such notice shall not limit or reduce the Indemnitee’s right to indemnity hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnitor is prejudiced thereby.

(b) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Indemnitor on behalf of the Indemnitee shall have the right to elect to defend any Third-Party Claim utilizing legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, and the costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnitor in connection with such defense shall be paid by the Indemnitor (and included in determining whether the Indemnity Cap has been exceeded). The Indemnitee may participate (in the manner and to the extent set forth below in Section 9.6(c)), through counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, in the defense of any Third-Party Claim.

(c) If the Indemnitor elects to defend any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall: (i) conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim with reasonable diligence and keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed of material developments in the Third-Party Claim at all stages thereof; (ii) promptly submit to the Indemnitee copies of all pleadings, responsive pleadings, motions and other similar legal documents and papers received or filed in connection therewith; (iii) permit the Indemnitee and its counsel to confer on the conduct of the defense thereof; and (iv) permit the Indemnitee and its counsel an opportunity to review all legal papers to be submitted prior to their submission (to the extent practical). Buyer and Seller will make available to each other and each other’s counsel and accountants, without charge, all of its or their books and records relating to the Third-Party Claim (subject to applicable non-disclosure restrictions

and privilege claims), and each party will render to the other party such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the other party in connection therewith.

(d) If the Indemnitor elects to defend any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right to enter into any settlement of a Third-Party Claim on the Indemnitee’s behalf without the consent of the Indemnitee; provided that (i) in the case of a Claim by a Buyer Indemnified Party, the amount to be paid by the Indemnitee (or by Seller on behalf of the Indemnitee) as a result of such settlement does not, when added to amounts which have been previously paid or reimbursed by the Seller pursuant to Section 9.2, exceed the balance of the Indemnitee Cap, (ii) such settlement does not involve any injunctive or other equitable relief or other covenant to take, or refrain from, any action, binding upon the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, (iii) such settlement expressly and unconditionally releases the Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, without prejudice, and (iv) such settlement does not involve any admission of liability or fault; provided, further, that no settlement by the Indemnitor of a Third-Party Claim shall limit or reduce (other than by application of the Indemnity Cap) the right of any Indemnified Person to indemnity hereunder for all Damages they may incur arising out of or resulting from the Third-Party Claim, subject to the provisions of this Article IX.

9.7 Other Indemnification Provisions.

(a) The amount of any Damages subject to indemnification hereunder shall be reduced by the amounts of (i) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnitee in connection therewith, less the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of obtaining such insurance proceeds and reasonable projected increases in insurance premiums arising because of any claim, (ii) any proceeds actually received from any other third party in connection therewith, less the reasonable and documented costs of obtaining such proceeds and (iii) any tax benefits that have been actually realized by the Indemnitee arising out of indemnifiable Damages. The Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain full recovery under all insurance policies and rights against any other third party with respect to any Damages. In the event that an insurance, third party or tax benefit recovery is received by any Indemnitee with respect to any Damages for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the amount of the recovery, less the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of obtaining such recovery, shall be made promptly to the Indemnitor that made or directed and provided such indemnification payments to such Indemnitee. As used in this Section 9.7(a), “tax benefit” shall mean the Tax savings attributable to any deduction, expense, loss, credit or refund to the Indemnitee, when actually realized, net of any Tax detriment associated with the receipt, or right to receive indemnification hereunder. The amount of any tax benefit actually realized shall be equal to the actual reduction in Taxes paid in cash determined with the applicable Tax items taken into account as compared with the Taxes that would have been payable without the applicable Tax items.

(b) No party shall be entitled to recover under this Article IX with respect to, and the term “Damages” shall not include, (i) losses relating to any Claim with respect to Taxes arising as a result of any action by the Indemnitee the effect of which is to induce a third party to assert a Third-Party Claim or (ii) LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, LOST PROFITS, ANY MEASURE OF DAMAGES BASED ON DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR BASED ON ANY MULTIPLE OF EARNINGS OR EBITDA OR SIMILAR CONCEPT, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EXCEPT IF IN ANY SUCH CASE SUCH DAMAGES ARE IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ACTUALLY REQUIRED TO BE PAID TO A THIRD PARTY PURSUANT TO A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE COURT ORDER, IN WHICH CASE THE RESTRICTIONS OF THIS SECTION 9.7(b)(ii) SHALL NOT APPLY AND THE INDEMNITOR SHALL BE PERMITTED TO SO RECOVER.

9.8 Exclusive Remedy. If the Closing occurs, a claim pursuant to Article IX shall be the Indemnitee’s sole and exclusive remedy as to monetary damages with respect to any breach of representation or warranty or covenant in this Agreement, or with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of whether such claim arises in contract, tort, breach of warranty or any other legal or equitable theory, and shall be limited to the rights contained in this Article IX, except in the case of fraud in the inducement or willful misconduct by Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The rights and limitations of this Article IX shall not apply to any claim for failure to pay the Net Purchase Price, including any adjustments thereto pursuant to Section 2.3(c), and the parties shall retain all rights and remedies available hereunder or under applicable Law for such breach. In addition, each party shall be entitled to specific performance for failure of the other party to perform its obligations hereunder, except in the case of fraud in the inducement or willful misconduct by Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as provided in this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION

10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by giving written notice at any time prior to the Closing as follows:

(a) by mutual consent of Buyer and Seller;

(b) by either Buyer or Seller, if there shall be any order which is final and nonappealable preventing the performance by Buyer or Seller of their respective obligations under this Agreement;

(c) by Buyer, (i) at any time after December 31, 2010 if the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing shall not have been consummated for any reason other than the failure of Buyer to comply with any covenant or agreement of Buyer; provided, however, that if all conditions precedent to Closing set

forth in Section 8.1 and 8.2 have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waived other than the condition set forth in Section 8.1(b) and those conditions that can only be satisfied on the Closing Date, then the foregoing reference to December 31, 2010 shall be automatically extended to February 28, 2011, or (ii) at any time, if Seller shall have breached or violated any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement in a manner that would prevent the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.2(a) or, Section 8.2(b) and (except in the case of a breach of the obligation to close within two (2) Business Days of the date contemplated in Section 3.1, in which case such two (2) Business Day period shall apply) such breach or violation shall not have been cured within ten (10) days after written notice thereof has been given by Buyer to Seller, but subject to the requirements set forth in Section 6.6; or

(d) by Seller, (i) at any time after December 20, 2010 if the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing shall not have been consummated for any reason other than the failure of Seller to comply with any covenant or agreement of Seller, or (ii) at any time, if Buyer shall have breached or violated any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement in a manner that would prevent the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b), and (except in the case of a breach of the obligation to close within two (2) Business Days of the date contemplated in Section 3.1, in which case such two (2) Business Day period shall apply) such breach or violation shall not have been cured within ten (10) days after notice thereof has been given by Seller to Buyer.

10.2 Effect of Termination. Except as provided in Section 6.4 and Section 11.16, in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void, there shall be no liability on the part of Buyer or Seller or any of their respective partners, officers, directors, Subsidiaries, Affiliates or Associates to any other party and all rights and obligations of any party hereto shall cease, except that nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any breach of this Agreement.

11.2 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time prior to the Closing; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument signed by Buyer and Seller.

11.3 Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, Buyer and Seller may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party or parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party or parties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance by the other party or parties with any of the agreements or

conditions contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby.

11.4 Headings. The headings and captions contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

11.5 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement, or the remaining portion thereof, shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any such term or other provision, or any portion thereof, is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated to the fullest extent possible.

11.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto and the Disclosure Letter) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between or among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

11.7 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, directly or indirectly, by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

11.8 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and its respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer on any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, including any third-party beneficiary rights, except that (a) current or former directors and officers of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall be third-party beneficiaries of Sections 6.5 and 6.6, (b) employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall be third-party beneficiaries of Section 6.8(c), (c) the Retained Firm shall be a third-party beneficiary of Section 11.16 to the extent it applies to the Retained Firm, and (d) each Financing Source and its successors and assigns shall be third-party beneficiaries of Section 11.11.

11.9 Failure or Delay Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights

and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

11.10 Specific Performance.

Each party hereto acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by such party and that any such breach would cause Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, irreparable harm. Accordingly, each party hereto also agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by such party, Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall be entitled to equitable relief without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, including in the form of injunctions and orders for specific performance. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

11.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, its rules of conflict of laws notwithstanding. Each party hereby agrees and consents to be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, or if the Court of Chancery lacks jurisdiction over such dispute, in any state or federal court having jurisdiction over the matter situated in New Castle County, Delaware, in any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such suit, action or proceeding by the delivery of such process to such party at the address and in the manner provided in Section 11.1 hereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, or if the Court of Chancery lacks jurisdiction over such dispute, in any state or federal court having jurisdiction over the matter situated in New Castle County, Delaware, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing Commitments (or any commitment letter relating to any Replacement Financing or any New Financing Commitment) or the performance thereof, in any forum other than any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof.

(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.11(b).

11.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by means of facsimile, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

11.13 Interpretation. As used in this Agreement, (x) the term “including” means “including, without limitation” and “including, but not limited to,” (y) the word “or” is not exclusive, unless the context otherwise requires. All references in this Agreement to “dollars” or “$” shall mean United States Dollars.

11.14 Costs of Dispute. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of any dispute between the parties arising under this Agreement, the party prevailing in that dispute shall be entitled to receive from the other party reimbursement for its attorneys’ fees, court costs, expert witness fees and other similar costs.

11.15 Fees, Expenses and Other Payments. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party shall bear its own expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including costs of their respective attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, brokers and other representatives. All Actual Unpaid Company Fees and Expenses shall be paid by Buyer, or by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries after the Closing, to the parties to whom such Actual Unpaid Company Fees and Expenses are payable.

11.16 Certain Legal Representation Matters.

(a) In any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller and its

equityholders shall have the right, at their election, to retain the firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (the “Retained Firm”) to represent Seller or any of such equityholders in such matter and Buyer hereby irrevocably consents to, and waives any conflict associated with, any such representation in any such matter. Each of Buyer and Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Retained Firm has acted as counsel for Seller (and its Affiliates) and the Company in connection with this Agreement. The parties agree that the fact that the Retained Firm has represented Seller and the Company prior to the Closing shall not prevent the Retained Firm from representing Seller (or any of its Affiliates, including the equityholders of Seller) in connection with any matters involving this Agreement, including any disputes between any of the parties hereto that may arise after the Closing. Buyer and Seller hereby waive any actual or potential conflict of interest relating to the Retained Firm’s representation of the Seller in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (but nothing herein shall require Buyer, the Company or their Affiliates to consent to the representation of Seller and its Affiliates by the Retained Firm if the Retained Firm’s conflict arises out of any matter other than the representation of the Company prior to the Effective Time).

(b) Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, including after the Effective Time the Company (and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons and representatives and their respective successors and assigns), hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all attorney-client communications between, on the one hand, Seller and/or the Company (and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons and representatives) and, on the other hand, their counsel, including without limitation the Retained Firm, that specifically relate to the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the transactions completed hereunder or in connection with the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be deemed privileged communications as to which such privilege may only be waived by Seller, and neither Buyer nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Buyer will seek to obtain any such privileged communications by any process.
