None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, Buyer nor any of each of their Affiliates shall have any liability under the Continued Plans with respect to any such Retained Employee; which liability shall be retained by Seller. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to continue the Continued Plans for any period of time after the Closing Date or restrict Buyer’s ability to amend, merge, terminate or otherwise modify the terms and conditions of any such Continued Plan immediately following the Closing Date or, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, otherwise modify the employee benefit programs provided to any Company employee that is employed immediately following the Closing Date (a “Continued Employee”).

     6.3.1.3. With respect to Seller’s 401(k) Plan, Seller shall, or shall cause the Company to, adopt such resolutions and take such further corporate action as may be necessary or appropriate to freeze participation in such plan with respect to all current or former Company employees, terminate the Company’s participation as a participating employer in the Seller’s 401(k) Plan and separately account or cause the plan’s third party administrator to separately account for the assets and liabilities under Seller’s 401(k) Plan attributable to participants who are current or former employees of the Company, and provide that the account balances of those participants in Seller’s 401(k) Plan who become Continued Employees will be fully vested and non-forfeitable. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to effect a direct, trustee to trustee, transfer of such segregated assets and liabilities to the similar pension plan of Buyer (“Buyer’s 401(k) Plan”), as soon as administratively feasible after the Closing Date. It is the parties’ intention that the direct, trustee to trustee, transfer of the account balances from the Seller’s 401(k) Plan to the Buyer’s 401(k) Plan shall be in accordance with the requirements of all applicable law and that the provisions of this section be interpreted consistent with such requirements.

Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the actual cost of such continued coverage, including without limitation all premium costs and administrative costs on a pro-rata basis. Seller shall take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the withdrawal of the Company from each such Multiple Employer Plan as of the Applicable Benefit Changeover Date such that the Company shall cease to be a participating employer in such Multiple Employer Plan and no Continued Employee is eligible to actively participate in any such Multiple Employer Plan after the Applicable Benefit Changeover Date. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, Buyer nor any of each of their Affiliates shall have any liability with respect to any Multiple Employer Plans, including by way of clarification and not limitation, claims incurred but not reported prior to the Applicable Benefit Changeover Date; which liability shall be retained by Seller. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Benefit Changeover Date” with respect to any component plan included within the category of “Multiple Employer Plan” shall be the later of December 31, 2010 or such date as may be mutually agreeable to the parties.

such plan, program or policy and for purposes of calculating benefits under any severance, sick leave or vacation plans, and (b) with respect to any Welfare Plans to which such Continued Employees may become eligible, Buyer shall take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to cause such plans to provide credit for the year in which the Closing Date occurs for any co-payments or deductibles and maximum out-of-pocket payments by such Continued Employees and to waive all pre-existing condition exclusions and waiting periods, other than limitations or waiting periods that had not been satisfied, under corresponding Company Plans prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall recognize vacation days previously accrued and reserved for by the Company through the Closing Date subject to the limitation set forth in the last sentence of Section 6.3.2.

On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller and the Company shall use their reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in obtaining (a) executed employment agreements, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Buyer, with each of Jerry Allen, Randall Harmon, William Reed, Arthur Liebenthal, Bruce Riesman, John Witmer, Stephen Quinn, Luc Morisette, Paul Joong, Ken Olsen, James Manari, Frank McCullough, Matt Hartman and Raul Soto, or (b) acknowledgments, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Buyer, from any other employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that have change in control agreements or other Contractual Obligations that provide for severance or termination payments, or for the acceleration of the time or vesting of any payment, upon a change in control of the Company to the effect that the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the continued employment by such employee by the Company or its Subsidiaries in the manner contemplated by Buyer will not give rise, individually or together, to “good reason”, constructive termination, without cause termination or any other equivalent basis that would give rise to payment under any such Contractual Obligations.

     6.3.6. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company to (a) accept the resignations provided to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4.2(b) and (b) appoint or elect new officers, directors or members as is required for compliance with the applicable Legal Requirements after giving effect to such resignations. Seller and, except with respect to actions taken in his or her capacity as a director or an officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable (other than actions taken in furtherance of his or her resignations), each of the individuals resigning pursuant to Section 2.4.2(b), shall have no liability and Buyer shall not make any claim for indemnification, related to or arising out of Buyer’s failure to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to appoint or elect new officers, directors or members in compliance with the

applicable Legal Requirements or otherwise fail to make such individuals’ resignations effective as of the Effective Date.

     6.4. Further Assurances.

The Company shall permit Parent and its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers and other appropriate Representatives to have reasonable access, prior to the Closing Date, to the employees, properties and books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, during normal working hours and upon reasonable notice, to familiarize itself with the Company’s respective properties, business and operating and financial conditions or, at the option of Parent or Buyer, to perform site visits or Phase 1 environmental studies (which in no event will involve any sampling or analysis of any environmental media and neither Parent nor any of its Representatives may perform any Phase II environmental testing, test borings or other physical samplings of any of the Real Property without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent the Company may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion), provided, however, that Parent and its Representatives shall not unreasonably disrupt the personnel and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries. In no way limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and Seller shall cause the Company to, provide Buyer with all information reasonably requested in connection with the pledge of certain of the Assets by Buyer following the Closing Date as additional collateral under Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ existing credit facilities, including information regarding Accounts Receivable aging and customer credit histories. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be subject to the confidentiality agreement dated August 19, 2010 between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

     6.6. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees.

     6.6.1. For a period of six years after the Closing, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, amend, repeal or modify any provision in the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents relating to the exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses of any officers and directors (unless required by law), it being the intent of the parties that the officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries who served prior to Closing shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses to the full extent of the law.

     6.6.2. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their respective successors or assigns) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that such successors and assigns assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6. This Section 6.6 shall be for the benefit of, and shall be Enforceable by, the directors, officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and their respective heirs and estates, and such parties shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement for such purposes.

     6.6.3. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall maintain through the Closing Date their existing directors’ and officers’ insurance, professional liability insurance and employment practices liability insurance in full force and effect without reduction of coverage and shall, prior to the Closing, obtain extended reporting period coverage under such policies (to be effective as of the Closing and for a period of six years thereafter) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing on terms with respect to such coverage and amounts no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof.

     6.7. Access to Records After Closing. For a period of five years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Company to provide Seller (or, if applicable, a Person designated by Seller in a notice to Buyer in accordance with Section 12.6 (“Seller Designee”)) and each of its authorized Representatives with reasonable access to all of the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by such parties in connection with matters relating to or affected by the operations of the Company prior to the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded by the Company upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours; provided, however, that Seller, any Seller Designee or any of Seller’s its Representatives shall not unreasonably disrupt the personnel and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall desire to dispose of any such books and records prior to the expiration of such five-year period, the Company shall, prior to such disposition, notify Seller and give Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee) and its authorized Representatives a reasonable opportunity, at Seller’s or Seller Designee’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as such parties may select at the sole cost and expense of Seller.

     6.8. Privilege; Waiver of Conflicts. Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed after the Closing to include the Company and its Subsidiaries) hereby (a) agrees that, notwithstanding any current or prior representation of the Company or its Subsidiaries by Ropes & Gray LLP (“Prior Company Counsel”), Prior Company Counsel shall be allowed to represent the Seller and its Affiliates (other than, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) in any matters and disputes that arise under or relate to this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) waives any claim that Parent, Buyer, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries has or may have that Prior Company Counsel has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation, (c) agrees that, if a dispute arises after the Closing between Parent, Buyer, the Company, or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries on the one hand, and the Seller or any of the Seller’s other Affiliates on the other hand, then Prior Company Counsel may represent the Seller and its other Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of the Seller and such other Affiliates may be directly adverse to Parent, Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and even though Prior Company Counsel may have represented the Company and its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute or may be handling ongoing matters for the Company and its Affiliates and (d) agrees that, as to all communications between or among Prior Company Counsel and the Seller, the Company or its Subsidiaries (with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, solely prior to the Closing) and/or any of their respective Affiliates that relate in any way to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the attorney-client privilege

and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Seller and may be controlled by the Seller and shall not pass to or be claimed or disputed by Parent, Buyer, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries; provided that nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to constitute an agreement by the Seller or the Company to waive any privilege of the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to any information or communication that does not relate to any dispute under or relating to this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that any privilege of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that attaches with respect to such other matters will be controlled solely by the Company after the Closing). Also, if a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on the one hand, and any third party other than the Seller and its Affiliates on the other hand, then the Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure to such third party of confidential communications by Prior Company Counsel; provided, however, that to the extent such privilege relates in any way to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Each of Parent and Buyer acknowledges on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed after the Closing to include the Company and its Subsidiaries) that it has had the opportunity to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Section 6.8, including without limitation the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of its choice.

     6.9. Insurance Recoveries. If, and to the extent, the Seller or the Company obtains any insurance proceeds from any Insurance Policies with respect to any loss of or damages to any Assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries (other than assets of the types included in the calculation of Adjusted Working Capital) that occurs from and after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, to the extent such proceeds are not used to repair, replace or restore such Assets prior to Closing, then such proceeds shall be retained by the Company and shall not be included in the calculation of the Closing Cash Amount (or Adjusted Closing Cash Amount) and to the extent any insurance policy deductible applies to any claim for such loss or damage to such Assets in such period the aggregate amount of such deductibles borne by the Company (the “Deductible Portion of Specified Insured Losses”) shall be recoverable from the Escrow Amount as an indemnifiable Loss pursuant to Section 9.1.5 (subject, without duplication, to the Deductible set forth in Section 9.4.1).

     6.10. Assistance Regarding Insurance Policies. Prior to the Closing, Seller and the Company shall take all actions reasonably requested by Buyer, if any, that are reasonably necessary to cause each of the Insurance Policies to continue in full force and effect following the Closing.

     6.11. No Solicitation. Prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1, neither Seller nor the Company will take, nor will they permit their respective Affiliates (or authorize any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other Person retained by and acting for or on behalf of Seller, the Company or any such Affiliate) to take, directly or indirectly, any action to initiate, assist, solicit, receive, negotiate, encourage or accept any offer or inquiry from any Person (a) to reach any agreement or understanding (whether or not such agreement or understanding is absolute, revocable, contingent or conditional) for, or otherwise

attempt to consummate, the sale of the Business (or any part thereof), any material portion of the Assets or any of the Company or any its Subsidiaries to any Person other than Buyer or its Affiliates or (b) to furnish or cause to be furnished any information with respect to the Business to any Person who Seller, the Company or such Affiliate (or any such Person acting for or on their behalf) knows or has reason to believe is in the process of considering any acquisition of the Business, any material portion of the Assets or any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. If Seller, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (or any such Person acting for or on their behalf) receives from any Person (other than Buyer) any offer, inquiry or informational request referred to above, Seller or the Company, as the case may be, will promptly advise such Person, by written notice, of the terms of this Section 6.11 and will promptly, orally and in writing, advise Buyer of such offer, inquiry or request and deliver a copy of such offer, inquiry or informational request to Buyer.

     6.12. Nondisclosure. Seller will, for a period of three years from the Closing Date, refrain from, either alone or in conjunction with any other Person, or directly or indirectly through its Affiliates, disclosing to any Person, or using for any purpose, any confidential, proprietary or secret information relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Business; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to disclosure required by applicable Legal Requirements (including as required by legal, judicial or administrative process). For purposes of this Section 6.12, the “confidential, proprietary or secret information relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Business” that is subject to this Section 6.12 is information relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Business that is included in the Assets, but in any event does not include any information (a) that is or becomes generally available to the public or the industry in which the Company and its Subsidiaries compete (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6.12) or (b) becomes available to Seller or any of its Affiliates from a third party after the Closing not bound by confidentiality agreement or any legal, fiduciary or other obligation restricting disclosure that is known to Seller.

     6.13. Settlement of Intercompany Accounts; Termination of Palisade Management Agreement.

     6.13.1. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall (i) cause all intercompany payables, receivables and loans between any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), on the other hand, to be settled or cancelled and (ii) cause all intercompany loans between the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, on the other hand (other than the loans owed to the Company by each of Voice Video and Data Distribution de Mexico, Services Voice Video and Data Distribution de Mexico, TVC ESPANA Distribucion y Venta De Equipos, S.L. and TVC do Brasil Ltda.) to be settled, cancelled, repaid or contributed to capital with the effect that such intercompany loans will be satisfied in full prior to the Closing Date. Prior to the Closing, Seller and the Company shall cooperate with Buyer as reasonably requested to contribute to capital, or otherwise settle in a manner reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller, the loans owed to the Company by each of TVC ESPANA Distribucion y Venta De Equipos and S.L. and TVC do Brasil Ltda. with the effect that such intercompany loans will be satisfied in full as promptly as reasonably practicable.

     6.13.2. The Palisades Management Agreement set forth on Schedule 4.19(b) will be terminated prior to the Closing and the Company and its Subsidiaries will have no further obligation thereunder from and after the Closing.

     6.14. Audited Financial Statements. Prior to the Closing, Seller and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to (a) furnish to Parent any financial statements, information or other documents that are reasonably requested by Parent in connection with a Form 8-K or offering document and (b) obtain the agreement of McGladrey & Pullen L.L.P. that it will provide its consent to the inclusion of such firm’s opinion with respect to any audited financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries to be included in a Form 8-K or to the inclusion or incorporation by reference of such opinion in an offering document with respect to a debt or equity offering. Parent shall reimburse Seller for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with taking any actions requested by Parent pursuant to this Section 6.14.

If such consent is not obtained on terms reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and the landlord to such lease terminates the lease because such consent was not obtained and the Company relocates from such leased facility to a new facility within the same geographic area (i.e. 15 miles) prior to the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Buyer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Escrow Amount, without regard to the Deductible referenced in Section 9.4.1 hereof, for reasonable costs of vacating the premises and relocating to such other premises. If such consents have not been obtained prior to the Closing Date, Buyer and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents.

     6.16. Supplemental Schedules. On December 1, 2010, Seller and Buyer shall agree on the estimated date on which the Closing will occur (the “Estimated Closing Date”).

Notwithstanding any supplement or amendment to the Schedules made pursuant to this Section 6.16, for purposes of the bring-down of representations and warranties set forth as a closing condition in Section 7.1 and for purposes of any post-Closing obligations under Section 9.1.2, the Schedules referred to in this Agreement shall be deemed to include only that information contained therein on the date hereof and shall be deemed to exclude all information contained in any such supplement or amendment thereto.

Promptly after the receipt by either a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be (referred to herein as an, “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action against such Indemnified Party by a third party (such action, a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim with respect thereto is to be made for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9, give written notification to Seller or Buyer, as the case may be (referred to herein as an, “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of such Third Party Claim. Such notification shall be given promptly upon receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Claim, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Claim and the amount of the claimed Losses; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall limit any liability or obligation for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such delay or failure. Within fifteen (15) calendar days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The party not controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim (the “Non-controlling Party”) may participate in such defense at its own expense. The party controlling the defense of the Third Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim. The fees and expenses of counsel to the Controlling Party shall be

considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement. The Controlling Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Non-controlling Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, claims relating to Taxes shall not be governed by Section 9.5.1 or Section 9.5.2 and shall be governed instead by Section 9.6.

     9.5.2. In order to seek indemnification under this Section 9 (other than in respect of Third Party Claims which shall be governed by Section 9.5.1), an Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party and a copy of such Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent. Such Claim Notice shall be delivered by the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) calendar days after the Indemnified Party learns of the claim and shall describe in reasonable detail the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the Claim Amount; provided, no delay or failure on the part of an Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall limit any liability or obligation for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9, except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such delay or failure.

     9.6. Tax Matters.

     9.6.1. The parties hereto agree that it is their intent that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a purchase of the Company’s assets and each Subsidiary’s assets, and each of Parent, Buyer, Company, and Seller, shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such intended treatment, unless otherwise required by law.

     9.6.2. Neither Buyer nor any Affiliate shall make or cause or allow to be made any election under any foreign law equivalent to an election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the Subsidiaries without Seller’s prior written consent, and Buyer and its Affiliates shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, and any direct and indirect beneficial owners from any Losses resulting from such an election.

     9.6.3. The Buyer shall prepare an allocation of the purchase price (as determined for tax purposes) among the Company’s assets and each Subsidiary’s assets as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). For this purpose, assets shall be valued consistently, to the extent applicable and permitted by Law, with the valuations used for purposes of the calculation of Adjusted Working Capital. Buyer shall, no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date (or, if later, promptly after the finalization of Adjusted Working Capital), provide the Purchase Price Allocation to Seller for Seller’s review and approval. If the parties cannot agree on the Purchase Price Allocation after negotiating in good faith, any disputes shall be submitted to the Arbitrator to be resolved in accordance with the principles of this Section 9.6.3 and Section 2.5.5. Each of Parent, Buyer, Company, and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, file all Tax Returns consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation as finally agreed to by the parties or as determined by the Arbitrator (the “Final Purchase Price Allocation”), and none of them shall take a position in any Tax proceeding contrary to the Final Purchase Price Allocation unless otherwise required by law.

     9.6.4. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes, if any, arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller. Each of the parties hereto shall prepare and file, and shall fully cooperate with each other party with respect to the preparation and filing of, any Tax Returns and other filings relating to any such Taxes or charges as may be required.

     9.6.5. Buyer shall (or shall cause the Company to) promptly (and in any event within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt by Buyer, Company, or any Affiliate, of notice from any taxing authority) notify Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee) in writing of (a) the commencement of any audit or examination of any Tax Return of the Company or any Subsidiary for any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or any period that includes the Closing Date, and (b) any other proposed change or adjustment, claim, dispute, arbitration or litigation that, if sustained, could give rise to a claim by any Buyer Indemnified Party for indemnification in respect of Losses relating to Taxes under this Agreement (any such audit, examination, change, adjustment, claim, dispute, arbitration, or litigation, a “Tax Proceeding”), although failure to so notify shall not limit the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ rights to indemnification under Section 9.1, if applicable, except to the extent such failure prejudices the ability of Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee) to contest such claims. Such notice shall describe the Tax Proceeding in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notices and other documents received from any taxing authority in respect of such Tax Proceeding. Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee) shall have the right, at its election, to control such Tax Proceeding (including any court proceeding following an audit or examination); provided, however, that Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee) may not settle any issues raised in such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement could affect the Tax liability of the Company or any Affiliate for a post-Closing period. If Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee) does not elect to control any such Tax Proceeding, then Buyer may control such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that Buyer shall keep Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee) informed of the status of the Tax Proceeding, including by advance notification to Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee) of any scheduled meetings or phone calls and of any submissions to any taxing authority or court, and Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee) may at its option participate in the Tax Proceeding at its own expense; and provided, further, that Buyer may not settle any issues raised in any Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee) which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

     9.6.6. The Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared consistent with the Company’s past practice, and shall duly and timely file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are required to be filed after the Closing Date for Pre-Closing Tax Periods. The parties agree that any Tax deductions attributable to compensation payments and any other compensation events made or that occur on or prior to the Closing Date will be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and will be

taken on Seller’s Tax Returns to the extent permitted by Law. Company shall deliver any such Tax Returns to Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee) for its review at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the filing thereof and Company shall make any changes to such Tax Returns that are reasonably requested by Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee); provided, however, that if the Company and Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee) cannot resolve any dispute regarding any requested change, the dispute shall be submitted to a mutually acceptable independent accounting firm for resolution (in a manner consistent with the Company’s past practice, except to the extent otherwise required by law) and the Tax Returns shall be filed consistent with such resolution.

     9.6.7. Parent shall not amend and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date) to amend any Tax Return of the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to a taxable period ending on or prior to, or that includes, the Closing Date, or file a ruling request, initiate any audit or investigation or otherwise seek administrative guidance (on a named or no-names basis) with respect to such taxable periods without the prior written consent of Seller (or, if applicable, Seller Designee) unless otherwise expressly required by law.

     9.6.8. The parties hereto shall provide such information as the other party hereto may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of such party’s Tax Returns, or to respond to or contest any audit or claim or otherwise satisfy any Legal Requirement relating to Taxes of each party hereto or their respective Affiliates, including provision of powers of attorney to control a Tax Proceeding in a manner consistent with this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, no later than February 10, 2011 Buyer or the Company shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to Seller all information with respect to the Company and the Business (calculated and provided in a form consistent with the Company’s past practice) necessary for Seller and its beneficial owners to prepare their respective 2010 Tax Returns. Buyer and Parent agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (a) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by any party, any extensions thereof) applicable to such taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (b) to give the Seller reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, upon request, to transfer to the other party possession of such books and records.

     9.6.9. Any refund, credit or reduction of Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including any interest thereon, with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, including any overpayments of estimated Taxes or other prepayments of Tax, will be for the account of the Seller, and will be promptly paid to the Seller by Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, within ten (10) Business Days after any such refund, credit, reduction or overpayment, or interest thereon, is received by, or reduces Taxes otherwise due and payable by, Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates; provided, however, that no payment under this Section 9.6.9 shall be made to Seller with regard to any refund, credit or reduction of Taxes (and any interest thereon) (a) which was included in the calculation of Adjusted Working Capital, as finally

determined pursuant to Section 2.5, (b) which was the result of the carry back of a taxable loss or other Tax attribute from a post-Closing tax period (or portion thereof), (c) which was the result of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries becoming a part of Parent’s consolidated group following the Closing, or (d) to the extent that any Buyer Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1.3 but is unable to receive such indemnification payment because of the limitation in Section 9.4.1(a) or because of the expiration of the survival period under Section 9.3. Purchaser and the Company and its Subsidiaries will cooperate in obtaining such refunds, overpayments, credits or reduction in Tax liability, including through the filing of amended Tax Returns or refund claims, at the reasonable request of the Seller, and at the Seller’s expense. For purposes of this Section 9.6.9, any refund of Taxes, including any interest thereon, for a Tax period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date will be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period based on the number of days in the portion of the Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date as a percentage of the total number of days in the Tax period.

     9.7. Uncollectible Accounts Receivable.

     9.7.1. Following the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all of the Accounts Receivable of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Accounts Receivable”); and (b) apply payments received from each customer of the Business first to the Closing Date Accounts Receivable of such customer (to the extent that such customer had a Closing Date Accounts Receivable) except to the extent that such customer is disputing all or any portion of such Closing Date Accounts Receivable.

     9.7.2. If the Buyer determines in good faith that notwithstanding the actions taken in accordance with Section 9.7.1 there are, as of the 180th day after the Closing Date, still uncollectible Closing Date Accounts Receivable in excess of the Closing Date reserves (taken as a whole) for Closing Date Accounts Receivable reflected in the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet, and the Buyer decides that it wants to pursue recovery from the Escrow Amount as contemplated by Section 9.1.6 and this Section 9.7, then the Buyer will provide the Seller with written notice (“Accounts Receivable Notice”) on or prior to the 195^th day following the Closing Date (or, if such 195^th day is not a Business Day then on the next Business Day following such 195^th day) setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such excess (the “Proposed Excess Uncollectible A/R Amount”) and the basis for such determination and shall include copies of invoices or other similar documentation for each relevant customer providing details of the account and uncollected amount, and the Buyer shall at all times provide the Seller and its Representatives with reasonable access to the personnel, books, records, documents and other information of the Company and the Seller in connection with Closing Date Accounts Receivable and any and all available information with respect to the collection thereof. The Proposed Excess Uncollectible A/R Amount will be final conclusive and binding on the parties unless the Seller provides a written notice (“Excess A/R Dispute Notice”) no later than ten (10) calendar days after delivery of the Accounts Receivable Notice to Seller. If Buyer and Seller cannot agree on any items raised in the Excess A/R Dispute Notice within ten (10) calendar days after Buyer’s receipt of the Excess A/R

Dispute Notice from Seller, the parties will submit their final calculations of items in dispute to an Arbitrator chosen in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 2.5 with respect to the selection of an Arbitrator for purchase price adjustment provisions under this Agreement. The Proposed Excess Uncollectible A/R Amount, as adjusted to reflect any changes agreed to by the parties and the decision of the Arbitrator, if applicable, are referred to herein as the “Final Assigned A/R Amount”.

     9.7.3. Buyer shall cause the Company to promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the Final Assigned A/R Amount) assign to the Seller, free and clear of all Liens, all right, title and interest in each of the accounts receivable that contribute to or constitute any portion of the Final Assigned A/R Amount upon receipt of (and only to the extent of) a corresponding amount of the Indemnification Escrow Cash, pursuant to one or more instruments of assignments reasonably satisfactory to Seller, whereupon Seller shall be free to take any and all actions to collect for its own account any and all such accounts receivable.

10. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

     10.1. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party to this Agreement, by its execution hereof, (a) hereby irrevocably submits, and agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries to submit, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or U.S. federal court located in the State of New York, United States of America, for the purpose of any action, claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or otherwise), inquiry proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof, (b) hereby waives, and agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries to waive, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirement, and agrees not to assert, and agrees not to allow any of its Subsidiaries to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such proceeding brought in one of the above-named courts is improper, or that this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, or the subject matter of such agreements may not be enforced in or by such court and (c) hereby agrees not to commence or to permit any of its Subsidiaries to commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or otherwise), inquiry, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof other than before one of the above-named courts nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action, claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or otherwise), inquiry, proceeding or investigation to any court other than one of the above-named courts whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise. Each party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by New York law, and agrees that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 12.6 is reasonably calculated to give actual notice.

     10.2. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, AND AGREES TO CAUSE EACH OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES TO WAIVE, AND COVENANTS THAT NEITHER IT NOR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES SHALL ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO

TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION, SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ESCROW AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH AGREEMENTS OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including in Section 9), (a) each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached or violated; (b) accordingly, each of the parties agrees that, without posting bond or similar undertaking, the other parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or violations of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any Action instituted in any court having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity; and (c) each party further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of
