ARTICLE I

1.03 Equity Awards.

(a) Each Seller Stock Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Closing shall, effective as of the Closing, become fully vested and shall remain outstanding in accordance with its terms. Seller shall retain all Liabilities and obligations in respect of all Seller Stock Options, including all responsibility for the administration, exercise and settlement of such Seller Stock Options in accordance with the terms of the applicable Seller Equity Plan, and any tax withholding, payroll tax or other tax obligations that arise in connection with any such exercise or settlement.

(b) At the Closing, each Seller RSU Award, or portion thereof, that is held by an Employee and is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Closing shall, without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be substituted for a cash-settled restricted stock unit award with respect to Purchaser Common Stock (or, in the case of any Seller RSU Award held by an Employee located in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, a stock-settled Purchaser RSU Award, if determined by Purchaser in its discretion following the date of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.09(f) of the Disclosure Schedules) (a "Purchaser RSU Award") as follows:

(i) The number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock subject to each Purchaser RSU Award shall be equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole share unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Purchaser) of (A) the number of shares of Seller Common Stock subject to the corresponding Seller RSU Award immediately prior to the Closing and (B) the Purchaser Ratio; provided that, with respect to any Seller RSU Award that is subject to performance-based vesting (A) with respect to any performance year that includes the Closing Date, the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock subject to each Purchaser RSU Award shall be based on target-level performance, and such Purchaser RSU Awards shall not be subject to performance-based vesting criteria for such performance year, and (B) with respect to any performance year that commences after the Closing Date, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall establish the applicable performance goals following the Closing.

(ii) Except as set forth in this Section 1.03(b), each Purchaser RSU Award shall be subject to the same terms (including, with respect to performance-based vesting Purchaser RSU Awards, the same potential number of shares that were subject to the Seller RSU Award, as adjusted under this Section 1.03), vesting conditions, settlement dates and other terms and conditions that were in effect immediately prior to the Closing for the corresponding Seller RSU Award. With respect to each Purchaser RSU Award, Purchaser shall give each holder of such award full vesting service credit for such holder's service with Seller or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date to the same extent such service was recognized with respect to the corresponding Seller RSU Award immediately prior to the Closing.

1.04 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Equity Award Adjustment Amount. For purposes of this Agreement, "Equity Award Adjustment Amount" means an amount (positive or negative) equal to the product of (a) the difference of (i) the Seller Closing Equity Award Value minus (ii) the Seller Pre-Signing Equity Award Value, multiplied by (b) sixty percent (60%). If the Equity Award Adjustment Amount is a positive number, the Estimated Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Equity Award Adjustment Amount on a dollar-for-dollar basis pursuant to Section 1.01(b). If the Equity Award Adjustment Amount is a negative number, the Estimated Purchase Price shall be increased by the absolute value of the amount of the Equity Award Adjustment Amount on a dollar-for-dollar basis pursuant to Section 1.01(b).

(b) Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the "Estimated Closing Statement") setting forth Seller's good faith estimate of, as of the open of business on the Closing Date (assuming completion of the Reorganization Transactions), (i) the Net Working Capital (the "Estimated Net Working Capital"), (ii) the amount of Cash and the amount of Adjusted Cash (such estimated amount of Adjusted Cash, the "Estimated Cash"), (iii) the amount of Debt (the "Estimated Debt") and (iv) the amount of Transaction Expenses (the "Estimated Transaction Expenses"), along with reasonable supporting documentation with respect to the calculation of such amounts. For purposes of this Agreement, "Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount" means an amount (positive or negative) equal to the Estimated Net Working Capital, minus the Target Working Capital, plus the Estimated Cash, minus the Estimated Debt, minus the Estimated Transaction Expenses. If the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount is a positive number, the Estimated Purchase Price shall be calculated by adding the amount of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount to the Base Purchase Price on a dollar-for-dollar basis pursuant to Section 1.01(c). If the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount is a negative number, the Estimated Purchase Price shall be calculated by subtracting the absolute value of the amount of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount from the Base Purchase Price on a dollar-for-dollar basis pursuant to Section 1.01(c). The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis that is consistent with past practices and prior periods and the accounting principles, practices, procedures, policies and methods set forth on Exhibit C; provided, that in the event of any conflict between GAAP and the sample calculation set forth on Exhibit C, Exhibit C shall govern.

(c) Post-Closing Statement. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date (but not later than ninety (90) days thereafter), Purchaser will prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the "Post-Closing Statement") setting forth, as of the open of business on the Closing Date (assuming completion of the Reorganization Transactions), (i) the Net Working Capital (the "Closing Net Working Capital"), (ii) the amount of Cash and the amount of Adjusted Cash (such amount of Adjusted Cash, the "Closing Cash"), (iii) the amount of Debt (the "Closing Debt") and (iv) the amount of Transaction Expenses (the "Closing Transaction Expenses"), along with reasonable supporting documentation with respect to the calculation of such amounts. The Post-Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with

-4-

GAAP applied on a basis that is consistent with past practices and prior periods and the accounting principles, practices, procedures, policies and methods set forth on Exhibit C; provided, that in the event of any conflict between GAAP and the sample calculation set forth on Exhibit C, Exhibit C shall govern. In preparation of the Post-Closing Statement, Purchaser and its Representatives shall have the access afforded to them pursuant to Section 4.10(b).

(d) Dispute Notice. In its review of the Post-Closing Statement, Seller and its Representatives shall have the access afforded to them pursuant to Section 4.10(b). The Post-Closing Statement shall be binding and conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, Seller unless Seller shall have notified Purchaser in writing (the "Dispute Notice") of any objections thereto consistent with the provisions of this Section 1.04(d) within forty-five (45) calendar days after the delivery of the Post-Closing Statement to Seller. The Dispute Notice shall specify in reasonable detail each item on the Post-Closing Statement that Seller disputes and Seller's calculation of each such item. Any item not included as disputed in such notice shall be deemed accepted by Seller and Purchaser.

(e) Disputes. Disputes between Purchaser and Seller relating to the Post-Closing Statement that cannot be resolved by Purchaser and Seller within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by Purchaser of the Dispute Notice, or such longer period as Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree in writing, may be submitted, by notice from Seller or Purchaser to the other, for resolution to KPMG LLP or any other nationally recognized independent accounting firm selected jointly by Purchaser and Seller (the "Independent Accounting Firm"). Each of Purchaser and Seller shall submit to the Independent Accounting Firm (with a copy delivered to the other party hereto on the same day), within ten (10) Business Days after the date of engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, a memorandum (which may include supporting exhibits) setting forth their respective positions in any disputed items. Each of Purchaser and Seller may (but shall not be required to) submit to the Independent Accounting Firm (with a copy delivered to the other party hereto on the same day), within forty-five (45) days after the date of the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, a memorandum responding to the initial memorandum submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm by the other party hereto. Unless requested by the Independent Accounting Firm in writing, no party hereto may present any additional information or arguments to the Independent Accounting Firm, either orally or in writing. During the review by the Independent Accounting Firm, Purchaser and Seller and their respective accountants will each make available to the Independent Accounting Firm such personnel, and such information, books and records and work papers and otherwise cooperate in good faith with the Independent Accounting Firm, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.04; provided, however, that the accountants of Seller or Purchaser shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Independent Accounting Firm, except in accordance with such accountants' normal disclosure procedures and then only after the Independent Accounting Firm has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

(f) Independent Accounting Firm's Determination. The Independent Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. Promptly, but no later than ninety (90) days after its acceptance of its appointment as the Independent Accounting Firm, the Independent Accounting Firm shall determine, based solely on the written submissions of

-5-

Purchaser and Seller and not by independent review, those items in dispute on the Post-Closing Statement and shall render a written report as to the resolution of each dispute and the resulting calculation of the Final Closing Adjustment Amount. Any such determination of an item in dispute shall be (i) with respect to Cash (including Adjusted Cash) and Net Working Capital, neither lower than the amount specified by Purchaser in the Post-Closing Statement nor higher than the amount specified by Seller in the Dispute Notice and (ii) with respect to Debt and Transaction Expenses, neither higher than the amount specified by Purchaser in the Post-Closing Statement nor lower than the amount specified by Seller in the Dispute Notice. The Independent Accounting Firm shall have exclusive jurisdiction over, and resort to the Independent Accounting Firm as provided in this Section 1.04(f) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto against one another or any other Person with respect to, any disputes arising out of or relating to the Post-Closing Statement and shall be enforceable in a court of law. The substance of the Independent Accounting Firm's determination shall not be subject to review or appeal, absent a showing of fraud. The fee of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser.

(g) Final Closing Adjustment Amount. The Post-Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller upon the earliest of (i) the failure by Seller to object thereto within the period permitted under, and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of, Section 1.04(d) (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed upon all items and amounts that are not disputed by Seller in the Dispute Notice), (ii) the written agreement between Purchaser and Seller with respect thereto and (iii) the decision by the Independent Accounting Firm with respect to disputes under Section 1.04(f). The Post-Closing Statement, as deemed to be agreed pursuant to clause (i) above, or as adjusted pursuant to the written agreement of Purchaser and Seller or the decision of the Independent Accounting Firm, when final and binding, is referred to herein as the "Final Post-Closing Statement." The "Final Closing Adjustment Amount" determined using the Final Post-Closing Statement means an amount equal to the Closing Net Working Capital, minus the Target Working Capital, plus the Closing Cash, minus the Closing Debt, minus the Closing Transaction Expenses. The Estimated Purchase Price shall be either (1) decreased by the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Adjustment Amount is less than the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, or (2) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Adjustment Amount is greater than the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount. Any adjustment to the Estimated Purchase Price provided for in this Section 1.04(g) is referred to as the "Purchase Price Adjustment."

(h) If the Final Closing Adjustment Amount is greater than the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, Purchaser shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Adjustment Amount is determined and the Final Post-Closing Statement becomes final and binding, pay or cause to be paid, to Seller cash in the amount of such Purchase Price Adjustment. If the Final Closing Adjustment Amount is less than the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Adjustment Amount is determined and the Final Post-Closing Statement becomes final and binding, pay or cause to be paid, to Purchaser cash in the amount of such Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) Payments made under Section 1.04(h) shall be adjustments to the Purchase Price for all purposes.

-6-

1.05 Withholding.

(a) Purchaser and each of its Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any applicable Tax Law. To the extent that Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee determines that any such withholding is required with respect to any payment hereunder, Purchaser shall notify Seller no less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to making such payment, and Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate (and Purchaser shall cause any Purchaser Designee to cooperate) in good faith to take such commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary to minimize any such withholding. To the extent that any amounts are deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 1.05, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

1.06 Foreign Transfer.

(a) In the event that the SaleCo2 Contribution occurs pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, at the Closing, immediately prior to the Sale in respect of the Shares, Seller shall cause the Company to (i) sell, assign, transfer and deliver to Purchaser Designee, and Purchaser Designee shall acquire from the Company, 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in SaleCo2 (the "Foreign Sale" and the consummation of the Foreign Sale, the "Foreign Sale Closing") and (ii) immediately after the Foreign Sale Closing and prior to the Sale in respect of the Shares, distribute the cash received by the Company in respect of the Foreign Sale Purchase Price at the Foreign Sale Closing to Seller; provided, that none of the foregoing shall modify or limit in any manner any of Purchaser's or Seller's rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. "Purchaser Designee" means a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Purchaser, organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States or any political subdivision thereof, designated by Purchaser in the Foreign Sale Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of the Foreign Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 1.06 shall not duplicate or otherwise increase (or for the avoidance of doubt, decrease) the aggregate Base Purchase Price, Estimated Purchase Price and Purchase Price. Within twenty (20) Business Days) following the date hereof, the Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to determine the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to, and to be paid by the Purchaser Designee to the Company in respect of, the Foreign Sale (the "Foreign Sale Purchase Price"). If at the end of such period Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree upon the Foreign Sale Purchase Price, Seller and Purchaser shall promptly thereafter cause the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve such dispute. Any costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by the Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand. The Foreign Sale Purchase Price, as agreed by Seller and Purchaser or as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Seller.

2.03 Capitalization and Title.

Seller is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Shares, and, at the Closing, Seller will transfer and deliver to Purchaser valid title, in each case free and clear of any Encumbrances, other than (i) any Encumbrance arising out of, under or in connection with the Securities Act or any other applicable securities Laws, (ii) any Encumbrance arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or (iii) any Encumbrance created by or through, or resulting from any facts or circumstances relating to, Purchaser or its Affiliates.

4.02 Preparation of the Proxy Statement; Stockholders' Meeting.

(a) Subject to Purchaser's timely performance of its obligations under Section 4.02(b), Seller shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC in preliminary form the Proxy Statement. Subject to the ability of the board of directors of Seller to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 4.06, the board of directors of Seller shall include the Seller Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC or any request from the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement, and shall provide Purchaser with copies of all correspondence between Seller and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand.

Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees to promptly correct any information provided by such party for use in the Proxy Statement which shall have become false or misleading.

-35-

(b) Purchaser shall provide to Seller all information concerning Purchaser and its Affiliates as may be reasonably requested by Seller in connection with the Proxy Statement and shall otherwise assist and cooperate with Seller in the preparation of the Proxy Statement and resolution of comments of the SEC or its staff related thereto. Purchaser will cause the information relating to Purchaser and its Affiliates supplied by it for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, at the time of the mailing of the Proxy Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, and at the time of the Stockholders' Meeting, not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) In accordance with Seller's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, applicable Law and the rules of Nasdaq, Seller shall, as promptly as practicable, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the "Stockholders' Meeting"), for the purpose of obtaining the Seller Stockholder Approval; provided, that if Seller determines that it is necessary or advisable to do so, Seller, at the Stockholders' Meeting, may also seek stockholder approval for actions reasonably necessary to comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act following Seller's registration as a registered investment company at or after the Closing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller may postpone or adjourn the Stockholders' Meeting (i) for up to ten (10) Business Days to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Seller Stockholder Approval, if Seller determines in good faith such postponement or adjournment is necessary or advisable to obtain the Seller Stockholder Approval, (ii) for the absence of quorum and (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and/or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which Seller has determined after consultation with outside legal counsel is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the stockholders of Seller prior to the Stockholders' Meeting.

4.03 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) From the date hereof until the Closing (or until the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.01), upon reasonable notice, Seller shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable: (i) afford Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access to the personnel, properties and Books and Records of the Business; and (ii) furnish to Purchaser and its Representatives such additional Tax and operating data and other information regarding the Business (or copies thereof) as Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request (including, in the case of each clause (i) and (ii), furnishing such access and information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in order to (x) determine the Foreign Sale Purchase Price or prepare the Purchaser's Allocation or (y) identify the Section 338(h)(10) Subsidiaries or determine whether to make any elections under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder and by the Reorganization Agreement); provided, however, that any such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted at Purchaser's expense, during normal business hours, under the supervision of Seller or its

-36-

Representatives and in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the normal operations of the business of Seller or the Business Subsidiaries; provided, further, that neither Seller nor any of the Business Subsidiaries shall be required to disclose any information to Purchaser if such disclosure would, in Seller's reasonable judgment (after consulting with its outside legal counsel): (w) contain information that in the reasonable, good faith judgment of Seller is competitively sensitive; (x) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or the protections of the work product doctrine; (y) contravene any applicable Laws, fiduciary duty or Contract to which Seller or any of the Business Subsidiaries is a party; or (z) expose Seller or any of the Business Subsidiaries to risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive or personal information; provided that, in any such case, Seller or the applicable Business Subsidiaries shall provide such information in redacted form as necessary to preserve such privilege or protections or comply with such Law or Contract or otherwise make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements, to the extent practicable.

(b) The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2016, between Seller and Purchaser (the "Confidentiality Agreement"), shall continue in full force and effect (including with respect to any information provided to Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.03(a)) until the Closing, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate, other than with respect to the confidentiality and non-use obligations contained therein with respect to Evaluation Material (as defined therein) not related to the Business, which obligations shall continue in full force and effect for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in all respects. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties agree and acknowledge that the standstill and similar restrictions in the Confidentiality Agreement shall not apply upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement solely to the extent required to permit any action expressly contemplated hereby and in accordance herewith and solely until any valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(c) For a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date (provided, that with respect to trade secrets of the Business, the confidentiality obligations in this Section 4.03(c) shall remain in effect for so long as the relevant information remains a trade secret under applicable Law), Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, hold in confidence any nonpublic information ("Business Information") to the extent relating to the Business from and after the Closing; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than through an action or inaction by Seller or its Representatives in breach of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) is received by Seller or its Representatives from Purchaser or any of its Representatives in the ordinary course of business pursuant to commercial or business arrangements unrelated to the Transactions (but such information shall remain subject to the confidentiality restrictions governing such relationship), (iii) is received by Seller or its Representatives from a source other than Purchaser or any of its Representatives, or (iv) was independently developed by Seller or its Representatives without use of Business Information; provided that, in the case of clause (iii) above, the source of such information was not to the knowledge of Seller (after due inquiry) bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to such information. In the event that Seller or any of its Representatives are requested or required by Law to disclose any of the Business Information

-37-

other than as expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, Seller or such Representative will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly notify Purchaser of any such request or requirement so that Purchaser may, at its election (at Purchaser's expense), seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy as Purchaser, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Seller or its Representatives, as the case may be, from complying with applicable Law that seeks disclosure of the Business Information if: (i) a motion for a protective order, motion to quash and/or other motion that was filed to prevent the production or disclosure of the Business Information has been denied; and (ii) Seller's legal counsel has advised Seller that compliance is required by applicable Law; provided, however, that Seller disclose only that portion of the Business Information that Seller's or its Representatives' legal counsel advises Seller or such Representative is required by applicable Law to be disclosed and that Seller and its Representatives will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the remainder of the Business Information, including by providing Purchaser, if permitted by Law, advance written notice of the information to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as practicable, and reasonably cooperating with Purchaser to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the information so disclosed; or (iii) Purchaser consents in writing to having the Business Information produced or disclosed. In no event shall Seller, or any of its Representatives, oppose an action by Purchaser to obtain a protective order, motion to quash and/or other relief to prevent the production or disclosure of the Business Information or to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the information so disclosed.

4.04 Reorganization Transactions. In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 4.05(a), Seller shall, and shall cause the Business Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to complete the Reorganization Transactions, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement and applicable Law. Seller shall provide Purchaser information regarding the Reorganization Transactions in accordance with Section 4.03(a) and keep Purchaser reasonably informed on a timely basis with respect to all material activity concerning the status of the Reorganization Transactions. Seller will not (i) terminate the Reorganization Agreement, (ii) amend the Reorganization Agreement in any manner that is or could reasonably be expected to be adverse to the Business Subsidiaries, the Business, Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including from a Tax perspective or otherwise), or the Transactions (provided, that, if such adverse impact is reasonably expected to be only de minimis in nature, then Purchaser's prior written consent shall not be required so long as Seller shall have consulted in good faith with Purchaser in advance) or (iii) permit the (A) extension of the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of either Seller or the Company thereunder, (B) waiver of any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of Seller contained therein or in any document delivered pursuant thereto or (C) waiver of compliance with any agreement or condition contained therein in any manner that is or could reasonably be expected to be adverse to the Business Subsidiaries, the Business, Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including from a Tax perspective or otherwise), or the Transactions (provided, that, if such adverse impact is reasonably expected to be only de minimis in nature, then Purchaser's prior written consent shall not be required so long as Seller shall have consulted in good faith with Purchaser in advance), in the cases of clauses (i) through (iii), without Purchaser's prior written consent. Seller shall provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all substantive documentation relating to the Reorganization Transactions.

4.05 Reasonable Best Efforts; Regulatory and Other Consents.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each of Seller and Purchaser will cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with each other in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to (a) consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby as soon as practicable, (b) cause the conditions to the consummation of the Closing set forth in Article V to be satisfied and (c) obtain or deliver all Consents of all Governmental Authorities and Third Parties that may be or become necessary, proper or advisable for the performance of its and the other party's obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither Seller nor any of the Business Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any consent or other similar fee, "profit sharing" or other similar payment or other consideration, or the provision of additional security (including a guaranty) to obtain the Consent of any Person under any Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, obtaining the Consents described in the first sentence of this Section 4.05(a) is not a condition to the consummation of the Closing by virtue of this Section 4.05(a).

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Seller and Purchaser (i) agrees to (x) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Sale as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event, unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Purchaser, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date hereof, (y) effect all other necessary notifications or registrations under the Antitrust Laws as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, and (z) supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act or any other filing under the Antitrust Laws and use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions consistent with this Section 4.05 necessary to obtain all Consents under any Antitrust Law as soon as practicable and (ii) shall use its reasonable best efforts to (x) take all action necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar Law is or becomes applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) if any state takeover statute or similar Law becomes applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (with respect to Purchaser's obligations under this clause (b), to the extent caused by the actions of Purchaser), take all action necessary to ensure that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise minimize the effect of such Law on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) If any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under the Antitrust Laws of any applicable jurisdictions or if any Action is instituted or threatened by any Governmental Authority or any private party challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of the Antitrust Laws of any applicable jurisdictions, each of Seller and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly resolve such objections and Actions. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser, at Purchaser's sole cost, shall and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and obtain all Consents under any Antitrust Law that may be required by any Governmental Authority (and to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or vacate or lift, any Governmental Order, that would otherwise have the effect of

-39-

preventing or materially delaying the consummation of the Closing) so as to enable Purchaser and Seller to consummate the Closing as promptly as practicable, and in any event before the Outside Date, including committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust, or otherwise, (i) the sale or disposition of, or prohibition or limitation on the ownership or operation by Purchaser and the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries of specific assets or categories of assets or businesses; (ii) the amendment or termination of existing contracts, licenses or other relationships; (iii) the entering into of new contracts, licenses or other relationships; and (iv) behavioral commitments limiting or modifying Purchaser's or any of its Affiliates' rights of ownership in, or ability to conduct the business of, one or more of its operations, divisions, businesses, product lines or assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Seller nor any of the Business Subsidiaries shall be required to commit to or effect any such action that is not conditioned upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall not effect or commit to effect any such action without Purchaser's prior written consent. Further, and for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser will take any and all actions necessary in order to ensure that (x) no requirement for any non-action by or Consent of any Governmental Authority with respect to any Antitrust Laws, (y) no Governmental Order with respect to any Antitrust Laws and (z) no other matter relating to any Antitrust Laws would preclude consummation of the Sale by the Outside Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require Purchaser (or permit Seller, without Purchaser's prior written consent) to take or agree or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction or other mitigation, whether contemplated in this Section 4.05 or otherwise, involving Seller, Purchaser or their respective Subsidiaries, including the Business, that would have, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on Purchaser or the Business, in each case measured on a scale relative to the Business, taken as a whole, regardless of whether any such action, condition, restriction or mitigation is in respect of Seller, Purchaser or their respective Subsidiaries or the Business (any of the foregoing, a "Burdensome Condition").

(d) Each of Seller and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any inquiry, investigation or Action initiated by a Governmental Authority or a private Person, and (ii) keep the other party hereto informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, any Governmental Authority and of any communication received or given by a private Person in connection with any inquiry, investigation or Action, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, each of Seller and Purchaser shall consult and cooperate with the other party hereto in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal to be made or submitted in connection with any such inquiry, investigation or Action. In addition, Seller and Purchaser shall permit counsel for the other party reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Authority. Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental

-40-

Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or withdraw its notification and report form pursuant to the HSR Act or any other filing made pursuant to any Antitrust Law unless the other party has given its prior written consent to such extension or delay, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Purchaser and Seller may, as each deems proper, necessary or advisable, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 4.05 as "outside counsel only." Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials or its legal counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.05, materials provided to the other party or its outside counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation, pricing and other competitively sensitive terms from an antitrust perspective in the Contracts of Purchaser, Seller and their respective Subsidiaries.

4.06 No Solicitation.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement (and subject to Section 4.06(c)), Seller shall, shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, and employees to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective other Representatives to, (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitation of, or discussions or negotiations with, any Third Party relating to any Competing Proposal or any inquiry, discussion, offer or request that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Competing Proposal, (ii) request the prompt return from, or destruction by, all such Third Parties of all copies of confidential information previously provided to such Third Parties by Seller, its Subsidiaries or their Representatives in connection therewith and (iii) terminate access to any physical or electronic data rooms relating to a possible Competing Proposal.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including Section 4.06(c)), from and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Seller shall not, shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, and employees not to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly facilitate or encourage the making of any Competing Proposal or any inquiries regarding, or the submission of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to any Competing Proposal, (ii) engage or participate in negotiations or discussions with (it being understood that, in response to an inquiry, Seller may inform Persons of the provisions of this Section 4.06), or furnish any material non-public information to, any Third Party relating to a Competing Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Competing Proposal, (iii) approve, authorize, endorse, declare advisable, adopt, enter into or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, authorize, endorse, declare advisable, adopt, enter into or recommend any Competing Proposal or any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, or other agreement providing for or constituting any

-41-

Competing Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) (a "Company Acquisition Agreement"), or (iv) resolve, agree or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the board of directors of Seller determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action could reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors' fiduciary duties under applicable Law, Seller shall be permitted to grant a waiver of or terminate any "standstill" or similar obligation of any Third Party with respect to Seller or any of the Business Subsidiaries to allow such Third Party to submit a Competing Proposal, in which case Seller shall similarly waive or terminate any "standstill" or similar obligations applicable to Purchaser and its Affiliates contained in the Confidentiality Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the date that the Seller Stockholder Approval is obtained, in the event that Seller (or its Representatives on Seller's behalf) receives a written Competing Proposal from any Third Party that did not result from a material breach of this Section 4.06, (i) Seller and its Representatives, to the extent such clarification is reasonably necessary, may contact such Third Party solely to request and obtain clarification of the terms and conditions thereof (without the board of directors of Seller being required to make a determination under clause (ii) of this Section 4.06(c)) and (ii) Seller and its board of directors (including any duly authorized committee thereof) and its Representatives may, subject to compliance with Section 4.06(d), engage in negotiations or substantive discussions with, or furnish any information and other access to, any Third Party making such Competing Proposal and its Representatives, Affiliates and prospective debt and equity financing sources, in each case of this clause (ii), if Seller's board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that such Competing Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action could reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors' fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that, (x) prior to furnishing any material non-public information relating to Seller and the Business Subsidiaries or the Transactions, Seller enters into with such Person, to the extent such Person is not already subject to a confidentiality agreement with Seller that satisfies the definition of Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and (y) Seller shall substantially concurrently provide or make available to Purchaser any non-public information that Seller provides to any Third Party if such access was not previously made available to Purchaser or its Representatives.

(d) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing (or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement), Seller shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt by Seller or any of its Representatives of any Competing Proposal, deliver to Purchaser a written notice setting forth: (i) the identity of the Third Party making such Competing Proposal and (ii) the material terms and conditions of any such Competing Proposal (including an unredacted copy of any written materials). Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of the status of, and any material developments regarding, any such Competing Proposal (including any material amendment or modification of any such Competing Proposal (including any change to the economic terms thereof), and including by providing to Purchaser copies of any written materials) on a prompt basis, and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours thereafter. Seller shall not, and shall cause its

-42-

Subsidiaries not to, enter into any agreement with any Person (relating to a Competing Proposal or otherwise) which prohibits or otherwise would prevent the provision of any information to Purchaser in accordance with, or Seller from otherwise complying with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions as contemplated hereunder.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the board of directors of Seller (including any committee thereof) shall not (i)(A) withdraw, modify or qualify (or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify), in a manner adverse to Purchaser, the Seller Recommendation, (B) endorse, recommend, declare advisable or approve, or propose publicly to endorse, recommend, declare advisable or approve, any Competing Proposal, (C) fail to include in the Proxy Statement the Seller Recommendation, or (D) fail to recommend against any Competing Proposal that is a tender or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of such tender or exchange offer (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an "Adverse Recommendation Change") or (ii) approve, cause or authorize or permit Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any Company Acquisition Agreement or resolve, agree or publicly propose to take any such action.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of the Seller Stockholder Approval, the board of directors of Seller may, subject to compliance with Section 4.06(g), (x) make an Adverse Recommendation Change (A) in response to a Competing Proposal that the board of directors of Seller has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal in circumstances not involving a material breach of this Section 4.06, (B) under clause (A) or (C) of the definition of Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event and (y) if Seller has received a Competing Proposal in circumstances not involving a material breach of this Section 4.06 that the board of directors of Seller has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal, authorize, adopt or approve such Superior Proposal and cause or permit Seller to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal concurrently with the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.01(c)(ii), in each case if the board of directors of Seller determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action could reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors' fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Adverse Recommendation Change may be made and no termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.06(f) may be effected, in each case until after the fourth (4th) Business Day following Purchaser's receipt of written notice from Seller advising Purchaser that the board of directors of Seller intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to clause (x) of Section 4.06(f) (a "Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change") or terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (y) of Section 4.06(f) (a "Notice of Superior Proposal"); provided, that, (i) such notice shall specify, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor, including, if the basis of the proposed action by Seller's board of directors is (A) a Superior Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal, the identity of the Third Party making any such Superior Proposal and a copy of the Superior Proposal and any proposed agreements and

-43-

financing commitments relating thereto and (B) an Intervening Event, a reasonably detailed description of the Intervening Event, (ii) during such four (4) Business Day period (the "Notice Period"), if requested by Purchaser, Seller shall, and shall make available and direct its necessary Representatives to, discuss and negotiate in good faith with Purchaser and Purchaser's Representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (iii) following such Notice Period, (x) in the case of an Intervening Event, Seller's board of directors, after taking into account any modifications to the terms of this Agreement and/or the Transactions to which Purchaser would agree, determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to effect such Adverse Recommendation Change could reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (y) in the case of a Superior Proposal, Seller's board of directors, after taking into account any revisions to the terms of this Agreement and/or the Transactions to which Purchaser would agree, determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Competing Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal. Any such purported termination to enter into a definitive agreement for a Superior Proposal shall not be effective unless and until Seller pays the Termination Fee in full. Any material change to (1) the facts or circumstances relating to such Intervening Event or (2) the terms (including any change to the financial terms) or any other material amendment of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change or Notice of Superior Proposal, as applicable, and Seller shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 4.06(g), except that the Notice Period in such case shall be two (2) Business Days.

(h) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the board of directors of Seller (or any duly authorized committee thereof) from (i) taking and disclosing to Seller's stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to Seller's stockholders if the board of directors of Seller determines in good faith, after consultation with Seller's outside counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.06(h) shall be deemed to modify or supplement the definition of (or the requirements pursuant to this Section 4.06 with respect to an) Adverse Recommendation Change.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) "Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement" means a confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality terms that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate to Seller than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood and agreed that such confidentiality agreement need not restrict the making, confidentially, of Competing Proposals (and related communications) to Seller or Seller's board of directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof)).

(ii) "Competing Proposal" means any bona fide proposal or offer made by any Third Party to purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of transactions, pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, sale of assets, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction (i) beneficial ownership (as defined under

-44-

Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), including if such ownership would be through the equityholders of any such Third Party, of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of any class of equity securities of Seller (unless such proposal or offer does not, and would not reasonably be expected to, conflict with, impede, delay or prohibit (including by imposing a Third Party consent right with respect to) the consummation of the Sale and the Reorganization Transactions as contemplated hereunder and, as a condition to Seller's entry into a definitive agreement with respect to such proposal or offer, any such Third Party agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Seller equity securities directly or indirectly beneficially owned by such Third Party and its controlled Affiliates in favor of the Sale and the Reorganization Transactions at the Stockholders' Meeting or any adjournment or any postponement thereof (a "Permitted WholeCo Proposal")) or (ii) any one or more assets or businesses of Seller and the Business Subsidiaries that constitute more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the consolidated assets of Seller (excluding in both the numerator and the denominator for purposes of calculating such percentage any Excluded Assets), it being understood that any proposal or offer solely with respect to any or all of the Excluded Assets (for the avoidance of doubt excluding for this purpose any capital stock of Seller held in treasury) and no Transferred Assets shall be deemed not to be a Competing Proposal (so long as such proposal or offer does not, and would not reasonably be expected to, conflict with, impede, delay or prohibit (including by imposing a Third Party consent right with respect to) the consummation of the Sale and the Reorganization Transactions as contemplated hereunder).

(iii) "Superior Proposal" means a Competing Proposal (with all percentages in the definition of Competing Proposal increased to sixty-five percent (65%)) made by a Third Party on terms that the board of directors of Seller determines in good faith, after consultation with Seller's financial and legal advisors, and considering such factors as the board of directors of Seller considers to be appropriate, including the consideration, terms, conditions, timing, likelihood of consummation, financing terms and legal, financial, and regulatory aspects of such Competing Proposal, (A) are more favorable from a financial point of view to Seller and its stockholders than the Transactions (including any revisions to the terms of this Agreement and/or the Transactions committed to by Purchaser to Seller in writing in response to such Competing Proposal under the provisions of Section 4.06(g)) and (B) that the board of directors of Seller determines is reasonably likely to be completed on the terms proposed.

4.07 Further Assurances; Post-Closing Cooperation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time or from time to time after the Closing, each of Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver such other documents and instruments, provide such materials and information and take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary, proper or advisable, to the extent permitted by Law, to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement or to otherwise effect the Transactions.

4.08 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Following the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Business Subsidiaries not to make any changes to their respective organizational documents that would adversely affect the rights of persons who are currently or who were officers or directors of, or in

-45-

a comparable role with, any of the Business Subsidiaries (but not in the capacity of any roles of such persons with Seller) to claim indemnification from such entity under the terms of their respective organizational documents as in effect on the date hereof unless such changes are required by Law and then only to the minimum extent required by Law. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall or, if the Company is unable to, Purchaser shall cause the Company as of the Closing to, obtain and fully pay the premium for the non-cancellable extension of the directors' and officers' liability coverage of Seller's existing directors' and officers' insurance policies and fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, the "D&O Insurance"), covering persons who are currently or who were officers or directors of, or in a comparable role with, any of the Business Subsidiaries (but not in the capacity of any roles of such persons with Seller), for a claims reporting or discovery period of six years from and after the Closing with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Closing from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as Seller's current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under Seller's existing policies; provided, that the premium for such "tail" insurance shall not exceed 300% of the annual premium currently paid by Seller.

(b) Following the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, as the primary source of indemnification, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the current and former directors and officers of, or persons in a comparable role with, the Business Subsidiaries (but not in the capacity of any roles of such persons with Seller) for any damages, Taxes, Liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) in connection with any actual or threatened Action or investigation (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) arising from any acts or omissions by such persons, in their respective capacities as directors or officers of, or in a comparable role with, the Business Subsidiaries (but not Seller) prior to the Closing Date, other than acts or omissions arising out of the Excluded Assets or the Retained Liabilities.

(c) If Purchaser or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each case, Purchaser shall make proper provision so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser shall assume all of the obligations of Purchaser set forth in this Section 4.08.

(d) The provisions of this Section 4.08 are intended for the benefit of the current and former officers and directors of, or persons in a comparable role with, the Business Subsidiaries (but not in the capacity of any roles of such persons with Seller), and shall be enforceable by such individuals (in such capacities) and their heirs and representatives.

-46-

for such Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (iii) equity incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favorable than the equity incentive compensation opportunities provided to similarly situated employees of AOL, Inc., and (iv) 401(k) benefits, medical benefits and other welfare benefits that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those provided to similarly situated employees of AOL, Inc.

(b) As of the Closing, Purchaser shall honor or cause its Subsidiaries to honor all Benefit Plans and Non-U.S. Benefit Plans, in each case, in accordance with their respective terms and subject to any rights to amend or terminate such plans.

(c) Without limiting anything in this Section 4.09, as of the Closing and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, Purchaser agrees to provide or cause its Subsidiaries to provide to each Employee with severance payments and benefits that are no less favorable than the severance payments and benefits for which such Employee would be eligible immediately following the Closing for a similar termination of employment under the applicable Benefit Plan or Non-U.S. Benefit Plan set forth in Section 4.09(c) of the Disclosure Schedules, taking into account any service with Purchaser and its Affiliates through such date of termination.

(d) With respect to each benefit plan, program, practice, policy or arrangement maintained by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries following the Closing and in which any of the Employees participate (the "Purchaser Plans"), and except to the extent necessary to avoid duplication of benefits, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting, and for purposes of vacation accrual and level of severance benefits, service with Seller and the Business Subsidiaries (or predecessor employers to the extent Seller or any of the Business Subsidiaries provides past service credit) shall be treated as service with Purchaser and its Subsidiaries to the same extent such service has recognized for such Employees under the analogous Benefit Plan or Non-U.S. Benefit Plan, as applicable, as of the Closing. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of the applicable Purchaser Plans that provides medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision and/or other health benefits to any Employee to (i) waive eligibility waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements and pre-existing condition limitations to the extent waived or not included under the corresponding Benefit Plan or Non-U.S. Benefit Plan, and (ii) provide Employees with credit under the applicable Purchaser Plans for amounts paid by such Employees prior to the Closing during the plan year in which the Closing occurs under a corresponding Benefit Plan or Non-U.S. Benefit Plan for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchaser Plans.

(e) Purchaser agrees that it shall notify Seller in writing within ten (10) days following the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of employment or (ii) the notice of termination of employment, in either case for any reason, of any of the individuals identified on Section 4.09(e)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules in accordance with the terms of Section 4.09(e)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules. Seller agrees that, on and following the Closing, it shall comply with terms of each of the applicable acquisition agreements related to the Acquisition Holdback Stock (and any other amounts to be paid by Seller (or any of its Affiliates) under such agreements, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Acquisition Holdback Cash to the extent such Acquisition Holdback Cash is included in the Transfers pursuant to Section 1.1(e) of the

-47-

Reorganization Agreement) as though it was a direct party thereto with respect to matters to the extent relating to the Acquisition Holdback Stock (and any other related payments), including delivering the shares of Acquisition Holdback Stock to the individuals entitled thereto in accordance with and at the times specified under the applicable acquisition agreements relating to such shares of Acquisition Holdback Stock; provided, however, that Seller may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting and/or delivery of shares of Acquisition Holdback Stock under the acquisition agreement set forth in Section 4.09(e)(iii) of the Disclosure Schedules in their entirety on or prior to the Closing.

(f) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Sections 4.09(a) through 4.09(d) are subject to any applicable Law that protects any Employee's acquired rights or otherwise requires Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Business Subsidiaries) to honor terms and conditions of employment, compensation, benefits or continuity of service and are without limitation to Purchaser and its Affiliates' ability to provide more generous terms and conditions, compensation or benefits to the Employees of the Business Subsidiaries following the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall take the actions set forth in Section 4.09(f) of the Disclosure Schedules.

(g) Seller shall, or shall cause its Business Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions necessary in respect of consulting obligations and similar notice and bargaining obligations that arise on or before the Closing Date in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions.

(h) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, employ the Employees who are foreign nationals working in the United States (the "Alien Employees"), under terms and conditions such that Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, will be considered the successor-in-interest to the Business for U.S. immigration purposes. Accordingly, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, assume all immigration-related Liabilities that have arisen or will hereafter arise in connection with the submission of petitions to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service requesting the grant of employment-based non-immigrant and immigrant visa benefits on behalf of the Alien Employees.

(i) Upon the exercise or settlement of any Seller Stock Options held by Employees or Former Business Employees, Seller shall be responsible for ensuring the satisfaction of all applicable Tax withholding, payroll Tax or other Tax obligations that arise in connection with any such exercise or settlement. To the extent that (i) Seller is responsible under applicable Law for the remittance of any such Tax obligation to the applicable Governmental Authority, Seller shall promptly remit such Tax obligations to the applicable Governmental Authority; and (ii) Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is responsible under applicable Law for the remittance of any such Tax obligation to the applicable Governmental Authority, (A) Seller shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) notify Purchaser of such exercise or settlement, (B) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate to estimate the Tax obligation in advance of the option exercise settlement date, and (C) Seller shall (or shall cause its plan broker to) promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the option exercise settlement date) pay to Purchaser in cash in a lump sum the actual amount withheld in U.S. Dollars (with Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate being responsible for calculating the exact Tax obligation due based on its payroll records and remitting such Tax obligation to the applicable

-48-

Governmental Authority in the required currency). To the extent there is any shortfall in the amount of such Tax obligation withheld relative to the amount of such Tax obligation due, Seller shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days following notification thereof from Purchaser) reimburse Purchaser for the amount of any such shortfall required to be remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority. To the extent there is any excess in the amount of such Tax obligation withheld relative to the amount of such Tax obligation due, Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such excess, or if such excess is remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority prior to it being determined that an excess amount has been withheld, upon such excess being received by Purchaser from the applicable Governmental Authority) pay such amount to Seller and Seller shall cause such funds to be restored to the optionee's account at the plan broker.

(j) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 4.09 with respect to Employees are included for the sole and exclusive benefit of the respective parties hereto and shall not create any right (i) in any other person, including Employees, former employees, any participant or any beneficiary thereof in any Benefit Plan, Non-U.S. Benefit Plan or Purchaser Plans or (ii) to continued employment with the Business Subsidiaries or Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.09 to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an adoption, amendment or other modification of any Benefit Plan, Non-U.S. Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plans of Seller or the Business Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during such seven-year (7-year) period, Purchaser and the Business Subsidiaries may dispose of any such Books and Records if Purchaser first offers the Books and Records to Seller in writing and Seller thereafter notifies Purchaser in writing that it wishes to reject such offer. Seller and Purchaser shall not, and Purchaser shall not permit the Business Subsidiaries to, dispose of any such Books and Records at any time after such seven-year (7-year) period without first offering the Books and Records to the other party hereto in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to such disposal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor Purchaser (nor any of their Affiliates) shall be required to disclose any information under this Section 4.10 (A) if such disclosure would be reasonably likely to: (1) contain information that in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the disclosing party (after consultation with outside counsel) is competitively sensitive; (2) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or the protections of the work product doctrine; (3) contravene any applicable Laws, fiduciary duty or Contract to which the disclosing party or any of its Affiliates is a party; or (4) expose the disclosing party or any or its Affiliates to risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive or personal information; provided that, in any such case, the disclosing party shall provide such information in redacted form as necessary to preserve such privilege or protections or comply with such Law or Contract or otherwise make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements, to the extent practicable or (B) in connection with any litigation or similar dispute between the parties hereto; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not limit any of the parties' rights of discovery. Any such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted under the supervision of the disclosing party or its Representatives and in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the normal operations of the business of the disclosing party and its Affiliates.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, provide to the other party such cooperation, documentation and information as either of them reasonably may request in connection with (i) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, (ii) determining a liability for Taxes or a right to refund of Taxes (including pursuant to this Agreement) or (iii) preparing for or conducting any audit, examination, litigation or other Action with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation and information shall include providing necessary powers of attorney, copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with all relevant portions of relevant accompanying schedules, relevant work papers, relevant documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Governmental Authorities and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property and other relevant information, which any such party may possess. Each party shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide an explanation of any documents or information so provided.

Seller shall promptly notify

-50-

Purchaser of any written notice from any party to any Material Contract to the effect that such party has terminated or intends to terminate (in each case other than the expiration of the term of such Material Contract in accordance with its terms, or with respect to terminations that would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Business, taken as a whole).

(b) Seller shall promptly advise Purchaser of any fact, change, event or circumstance that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect, and each party shall promptly advise the other of any fact, change, event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to cause the failure of any condition to Closing set forth in Section 5.02 or Section 5.03, as applicable; provided, that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing with respect to any breach shall not in and of itself be deemed to constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Section 5.02 or Section 5.03 to be satisfied.

4.12 Guarantees.

(a) Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cause itself or one or more of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Seller, effective as of the Closing, in respect of all obligations of Seller under any guarantees, bonding arrangements, keepwell agreements, net working capital maintenance agreements, reimbursement obligations, letters of credit, letters of comfort or any similar agreements, in each case to the extent relating to the Business (and not any Excluded Assets or Retained Liabilities), binding Seller for the benefit of the Business or the Business Subsidiaries, and Seller shall reasonably cooperate in Purchaser's efforts, in each case to the extent that the Company has not been so substituted for Seller pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement (the "Guarantees"). In no event shall Purchaser or any of its Affiliates be obligated to pay any money to any Person to effect the substitutions described in this Section 4.12.

(b) With respect to any Guarantees that remain outstanding after the Closing Date, (i) Seller and Purchaser shall continue to cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to terminate, or, if the parties are unable to so terminate, cause Purchaser or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Seller in respect of, all obligations under the Guarantees, (ii) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller for any damages, Liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or relating to such Guarantees, and (iii) Purchaser shall not permit any of the Business Subsidiaries or Affiliates to (A) renew or extend the term of, (B) increase its obligations under, (C) transfer to another Third Party or (D) amend in any manner, except as contemplated pursuant to clause (i) above, any loan, Contract or other obligation for which Seller is or would reasonably be expected to be liable under such Guarantee (including after taking into account clause (ii) above). To the extent that Seller has performance obligations under any Guarantee that remains outstanding after the Closing Date, Purchaser will use reasonable best efforts to (x) perform such obligations on behalf of Seller or (y) otherwise take such action as is reasonably requested by Seller so as to put Seller in the same position as if Purchaser, and not Seller, had performed or were performing such obligations.

4.13 Financing Cooperation.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide, shall cause the Business Subsidiaries to provide, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to provide such cooperation as is reasonably required and customary in connection with the arrangement of the Financing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) none of Seller (at any time) or any of the Business Subsidiaries (prior to the Closing) shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee, incur or reimburse any costs or expenses (other than those fees, costs and expenses promptly reimbursed by Purchaser) or incur any other liability or obligation of any kind in connection with the Financing, (B) none of Seller (at any time) or any of the Business Subsidiaries (prior to the Closing) shall be required to execute, enter into or perform any binding agreement or commitment, or adopt any resolution or otherwise take any corporate or similar action or deliver any certificate, in connection with the Financing (other than delivery of customary authorization letters with respect to the Seller and customary representation letters with respect to the Business Subsidiaries, in each case, in connection with any Financing consisting of a syndicated credit facility), (C) nothing shall obligate Seller or any Business Subsidiary to provide, or cause to be provided, any legal opinion or to provide, or cause to be provided, any information or take, or cause to be taken, any action to the extent doing so could reasonably be expected to result in (x) a violation of applicable Law or Seller's or any Business Subsidiary's organizational documents or any Contract binding on Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or any confidentiality obligations binding on Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) the loss of any attorney-client privilege and (D) nothing shall obligate Seller or any Business Subsidiary to provide carve-out financial statements or other carve-out financial information, in each case whether audited or unaudited, in respect of the Business or the Business Subsidiaries. The cooperation of Seller and the Business Subsidiaries shall not unreasonably interfere with ongoing operations of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise materially impair the ability of any Representative of Seller or any of the Business Subsidiaries to carry out its duties to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries. Purchaser shall promptly, upon request by Seller, reimburse Seller for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller or any of the Business Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation of Seller, the Business Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives contemplated by this Section 4.13 and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, the Business Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with (i) the Financing, (ii) any information used in connection with the Financing (except with respect to written information provided by Seller or any of the Business Subsidiaries specifically for inclusion in offering materials relating to the Financing), and (iii) any action taken by any of them at the request of Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.13, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), to the extent such losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses arose from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or any of the Business Subsidiaries, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) All non-public or otherwise confidential information obtained by Purchaser, its Representatives or its Financing Sources pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Purchaser shall be permitted to disclose such information to the Financing Sources, rating agencies and prospective lenders and investors during syndication of the Financing subject to the ratings agencies and prospective lenders and investors entering into customary confidentiality undertakings with respect to such information (including through a notice and undertaking in a form customarily

-52-

used in confidential information memoranda for senior credit facilities), and to potential investors in a customary offering memorandum and related materials used in connection with an offering of debt securities used to finance the consummation of the Transactions.

4.14 Transaction Litigation. Seller shall control the defense of any Action brought by stockholders of Seller against Seller and/or its directors relating to the Transactions; provided, however, that Seller (i) shall promptly provide Purchaser with copies of all proceedings and correspondence relating to such Action, (ii) shall give Purchaser the opportunity to consult with Seller regarding the defense or settlement of any such Action and (iii) shall not compromise, settle, come to an arrangement regarding or agree to compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding any Action arising or resulting from the Transactions (other than any settlement that would not affect Purchaser or the Business in any material respect following the Closing, including any settlement solely for monetary damages to be paid by Seller or entirely from proceeds of Seller's insurance, except for any applicable deductible which shall be paid by Seller) without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

4.15 Voting of Shares. Purchaser shall and shall cause its Affiliates to vote all shares of Seller Common Stock beneficially owned by it or any of its Affiliates in favor of authorizing the Sale and the Reorganization Transactions at the Stockholders' Meeting.

4.16 Tax Matters.

(a) Company Purchase Price Allocation.

(i) Purchaser and Seller agree to allocate, and, as applicable, to cause their applicable Affiliates to allocate, the Company Purchase Price among the assets of the Section 338(h)(10) Subsidiaries and any other relevant assets acquired (or deemed acquired for U.S. federal income tax purposes in connection with the acquisition of the Shares) in accordance with Sections 1060 and 338(h)(10) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Purchaser shall provide Seller with a proposed allocation of the Company Purchase Price (the "Purchaser's Allocation") no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date. If Seller disagrees with Purchaser's Allocation, Seller may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of Purchaser's Allocation, deliver a notice (the "Seller's Allocation Notice") to Purchaser to such effect, specifying those items as to which Seller disagrees and setting forth Seller's proposed allocation. If the Seller's Allocation Notice is duly delivered, Seller and Purchaser shall, during the twenty (20) days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation of the Company Purchase Price. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve any remaining disputes. Any allocation of the Company Purchase Price determined pursuant to the decision of the Independent Accounting Firm shall incorporate, reflect and be consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Any costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by the Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand. The allocation, as prepared by Purchaser if no Seller's Allocation Notice has been timely given, as adjusted pursuant to any

-53-

agreement between Seller and Purchaser or as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm (the "Company Purchase Price Allocation"), shall be conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Seller. The Company Purchase Price Allocation and the Foreign Sale Purchase Price shall be adjusted as necessary and appropriate to reflect any payments treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for Tax purposes pursuant to Section 4.16(c) of this Agreement or Section 7.6 of the Reorganization Agreement or in the event the beneficial ownership of any Non-Transferrable Asset is not transferred to the Company pursuant to Section 1.7 of the Reorganization Agreement.

(ii) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall timely file IRS Form 8594 and all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign Tax Returns in accordance with the Company Purchase Price Allocation and the Foreign Sale Purchase Price. The Company Purchase Price Allocation shall be used in preparing IRS Form 8883 (and any similar forms under applicable state and local Law) pursuant to Section 4.16(b)(ii). Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a "determination" within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), Purchaser, Seller and their respective Affiliates shall not take any Tax position that is inconsistent with the Company Purchase Price Allocation or the Foreign Sale Purchase Price on any Tax Return, in any Tax Proceeding or otherwise.

(b) Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

(i) At Purchaser's request, Purchaser and Seller shall (or shall cause their relevant Affiliates to) make and timely file joint elections under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding elections under applicable state or local Law) with respect to any of the Business Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 4.16(b)(i) (the Business Subsidiaries with respect to which Purchaser requests such elections, the "Section 338(h)(10) Subsidiaries," and such elections, the "Company Section 338(h)(10) Elections").

(ii) Purchaser and Seller shall (and shall cause their relevant Affiliates to) cooperate in the preparation of all forms, attachments and schedules necessary to effectuate the Company Section 338(h)(10) Elections and the Reorganization 338(h)(10) Elections (collectively, the "Section 338(h)(10) Elections"), including IRS Form 8023, IRS Form 8883 and any similar forms under applicable state and local Law (such forms with respect to the Company Section 338(h)(10) Elections, collectively, the "Company Section 338(h)(10) Forms," and, collectively with the Reorganization 338(h)(10) Forms, the "Section 338(h)(10) Forms"), in a manner consistent with the Company Purchase Price Allocation and the Foreign Sale Purchase Price. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall timely file (or cause to be timely filed) the Company Section 338(h)(10) Forms with the applicable Governmental Authorities.

(iii) Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, cooperate with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate (including filing such other forms, returns, elections, schedules and other documents as may be required) to effect, perfect and preserve the Company Section 338(h)(10) Elections in accordance with the

-54-

provisions of Section 338 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any comparable provisions of applicable state or local Law). Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, (A) report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Reorganization Agreement in a manner consistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Elections for all Tax purposes and (B) except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a "determination" within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state or local Law), take no Tax position contrary to the Section 338(h)(10) Elections or the Section 338(h)(10) Forms on any Tax Return, in any Tax Proceeding or otherwise.

(iv) Purchaser and Seller shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, take any action to (A) modify any of the forms or other documents (including any corrections, amendments or supplements thereto) that are required in connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Elections or (B) modify or revoke any of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections after the filing of the Section 338(h)(10) Forms without the prior written consent of the other party.

(v) Purchaser may make and may cause its Affiliates (including the Company) to make (and nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Purchaser from so making or causing to be made) an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to the acquisition or deemed acquisition by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement of any Business Subsidiary that is treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that is not listed on Section 4.16(b)(v) of the Disclosure Schedules (an "Eligible Foreign Business Subsidiary"). Except for (x) the Company Section 338(h)(10) Elections, (y) the Reorganization 338(h)(10) Elections and (z) the elections under Section 338(g) of the Code described in the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, make any election under Section 338 of the Code, or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Law, with respect to any of the Business Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Each of Purchaser and Seller agree to treat, and cause their respective Affiliates to treat, for all Tax purposes, the receipt of any indemnification payment by Purchaser, the Company or Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the Reorganization Agreement as an adjustment to the purchase price, unless otherwise required by Law.

(d) Prohibited Actions. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or as expressly required by this Agreement or the Reorganization Agreement, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, (A) amend any Tax Return related to the Business or any Business Subsidiary, make, change or revoke any Tax election related to the Business or any Business Subsidiary or take any other similar action outside the ordinary course of business to the extent such amendment or action could materially increase Seller's (or any of its Affiliates') liability for Taxes for which Seller bears responsibility pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement or (B) take, or cause to take, any action that could result in, or change the character of, any material amount of income or gain that must be reported on any Tax Return filed or to be filed by Seller (or any of its Affiliates); provided, however, that nothing in this

-55-

Section 4.16(d) shall be interpreted as affecting any rights or responsibilities of any party set forth in Section 5.5 of the Reorganization Agreement or any other provision of this Section 4.16, and in the event of any conflict between any of the provisions contained in Section 5.5 of the Reorganization Agreement, Section 4.16(a)–(c) or Section 4.16(e)–(h), on the one hand, with this Section 4.16(d), on the other hand, such provision(s) other than Section 4.16(d) shall control.

(e) Tax Deductions Related to Retained Employee Liabilities. Each of Purchaser and Seller agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any income, franchise and similar Tax deductions with respect to any payment of Retained Employee Liabilities, regardless of whether paid in cash or stock (any such deductions, the "Deductions"), shall be taken on the Tax Return of Seller or another Seller Entity. To the extent that Purchaser or any of its Affiliates Actually Realizes a Tax Benefit as a result of any Deduction reflected on any Tax Return of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay the amount of such Tax Benefit to Seller within fifteen (15) days of Actually Realizing such Tax Benefit. To the extent any Deduction giving rise to a Tax Benefit in respect of which Purchaser made a payment to Seller pursuant to this Section 4.16(d) is subsequently disallowed by the relevant Governmental Authority, Seller shall repay the amount of such disallowed Tax Benefit received by Purchaser, together with any interest and penalties applicable with respect thereto and payable to the Governmental Authority, within fifteen (15) days of Purchaser notifying Seller that such Tax Benefit has been disallowed.

(f) Tax Sharing Agreements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent relating to the Business Subsidiaries, Seller shall terminate or cause to be terminated, on or before the Closing Date, all Tax sharing agreements or similar arrangements (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include this Agreement, the Reorganization Agreement or any other Transaction Document), if any, to which any of the Business Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Business Subsidiaries), on the other hand, are parties, and neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Business Subsidiaries) nor any of the Business Subsidiaries shall have any rights or obligations thereunder after the Closing.

(g) Foreign Business Subsidiary Transfers. No later than twenty (20) Business Days before effectuating any Foreign Business Subsidiary Transfer, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a draft of the relevant document(s) pursuant to which the Foreign Business Subsidiary Transfer(s) will be effected and shall make its employees reasonably available to explain to Purchaser the specific steps contemplated to be taken to achieve any such Foreign Business Subsidiary Transfer. Seller shall thereafter consider in good faith any mutually beneficial alternative method for effectuating such Foreign Business Subsidiary Transfer(s) suggested by Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days of Purchaser's receipt of such document(s).

(a) Seller hereby acknowledges that, as of the Closing, all right, title and interest in and to the Marks and names set forth in Section 2.16(a) of the Disclosure Schedules, together with all variations, acronyms or derivations thereof or any names, trademarks, service marks, logos or otherwise that are confusingly similar thereto (collectively, the "Names and Marks"), will be owned exclusively by the Business Subsidiaries, and that, except as expressly provided below, any and all right of the Seller Entities to use the Names and Marks shall terminate as of the Closing, along with any and all goodwill associated therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and its Affiliates may at all times after the Closing use such names and Marks (i) in internal Tax, legal, employment or similar records, (ii) as required by Law or the rules of any applicable stock exchange and (iii) as part of any factual statement.

(b) Seller shall as promptly as practicable after the Closing, file documents with the appropriate Governmental Authorities changing its and any other Seller Entities' corporate name (in such case, no more than five (5) Business Days after the Closing), "doing business as" name, trade name and any other similar corporate identifier to (in the case of such corporate identifiers, no more than sixty (60) days after the Closing) a corporate name, "doing business as" name, trade name or any other similar corporate identifier that does not contain any Names and Marks; provided, that Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that all Names and Marks be replaced, removed or covered-over on materials as soon as reasonably possible and will discontinue use, and will, as soon as reasonably possible following discovery, destroy or deliver up all materials in the Seller Entities' possession or control with Names and Marks affixed to them that have no valid continuing use by any Seller Entity, to the extent the use of such items could reasonably be construed to create a legal obligation on behalf of Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Business Subsidiaries). Such specific items to be destroyed, returned or altered, or for which such other steps must be taken, include: order, purchase or material forms; requisitions; invoices; statements; labor reports; bill inserts; stationery; personalized note pads that are used for communications with the public; business cards; published organization charts; bulletins/releases; sales/price literature; manuals distributed to the public; catalogs; websites; and publicly available media contact lists/cards.

4.18 Convertible Notes.

(a) The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that, except as may be required in accordance with Section 4.18(b), the Convertible Notes will not be assumed by the Company, Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof and will constitute Retained Liabilities. Seller may, in its reasonable discretion, take actions to amend the Indenture prior to the Closing to delete Article 11 (and, in Seller's sole discretion, to delete or modify other provisions) of the Indenture, including conducting a tender offer and/or consent solicitation in accordance with applicable Law to acquire the Convertible Notes and/or effect such amendments to the Indenture on such terms and conditions as Seller, in its reasonable discretion, determines (a "Debt Tender Offer"). Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed with respect to the status of the actions taken pursuant to the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the commencement nor consummation of a Debt Tender Offer shall in any event constitute a condition to Closing under Article V.

-57-

(b) In the event that, at or after the Closing the Indenture has not been amended as permitted in Section 4.18(a) and a court of competent jurisdiction has determined in a final, non-appealable judgment or a judgment that Seller determines, in its reasonable discretion, not to appeal, that the Transactions constitute a sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of Seller's properties and assets to another Person (as defined in the Indenture) or otherwise issues a ruling with substantially the same effect:

(i) Seller and the Company will execute and deliver as promptly as practicable following such judgment a supplemental indenture and such instruments, certificates, opinions, agreements and other documents as may be necessary to cause Seller and the Company to satisfy the requirements of the Indenture, including Article 11 thereof, including by causing the Company to assume all of Seller's obligations under the Convertible Notes and the Indenture, effective upon consummation of the Transactions;

(ii) the Company shall (A) notify Seller in writing not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the next Business Day following the Company's receipt of a Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Indenture) in respect of the conversion of any Convertible Note by a holder thereof, and (B) elect to satisfy its Conversion Obligation (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to such conversion by Cash Settlement (as defined in the Indenture), by Physical Settlement (as defined in the Indenture) or by Combination Settlement (as defined in the Indenture), in each case in accordance with the Indenture and as directed in writing by Seller in its sole discretion; provided, that if Seller does not deliver written notice to the Company by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date it receives the Company's notice specifying the Settlement Method (as defined in the Indenture) by which the Conversion Obligation should be satisfied, Seller will be deemed to have specified Cash Settlement; and, provided, further, that if Seller specifies Combination Settlement but does not indicate the Specified Dollar Amount (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes shall be $1,000;

(iii) at Seller's election, either (A) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the principal amount ($1,000 per Convertible Note) of the Convertible Notes that remain outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (the "Principal Amount"), or (B) Seller shall pay to the Company at the Closing the Principal Amount (in which case such payment shall have no impact on the amount of the Purchase Price); provided that, if the execution and delivery by the Company of the supplemental indenture described in Section 4.18(b)(i) occurs after the Closing, Seller shall pay to the Company promptly after such execution and delivery the Principal Amount (in which case such payment shall have no impact on the amount of the Purchase Price);

(iv) simultaneously with the execution and delivery by the Company of the supplemental indenture described in Section 4.18(b)(i), Seller, the

-58-

Company, Purchaser and a mutually agreed escrow agent will enter into an escrow agreement pursuant to which (A) Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company to, deposit the Principal Amount into an escrow account (the "Escrow Account"); (B) all or a portion of the Principal Amount not to exceed $1,000 per Convertible Note shall be released from the Escrow Account and applied toward payments to holders of Convertible Notes of (x) the principal due upon maturity of the Convertible Notes, (y) the Settlement Amount (as defined in the Indenture) due upon Cash Settlement, or (z) the Specified Dollar Amount due upon Combination Settlement; (C) all or a portion of the Principal Amount not to exceed $1,000 per Convertible Note shall be released from the Escrow Account and paid to Seller (x) in respect of any Physical Settlement, in an amount equal to the principal amount of any Convertible Notes settled by Physical Settlement or (y) in respect of any Combination Settlements, (I) the principal amount of any Convertible Notes settled by Combination Settlement less (II) the Specified Dollar Amount; and (D) any funds held in the Escrow Account that are not paid to holders of Convertible Notes will, within five (5) Business Days following the later of (x) the earlier of (1) the Maturity Date (as defined in the Indenture), or (2) the date upon which all Convertible Notes have been converted or repurchased and (y) the final satisfaction and settlement by Seller of any further excess obligations relating to or arising out of the Convertible Notes;

(v) in the case of any Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement, if application of the funds in the Escrow Account is not sufficient to pay the Settlement Amount to the holders of Convertible Notes as required under the Indenture, then Seller will provide the amount of any cash shortfall by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the date such payments are required to be made to such holders;

(vi) in the case of any Combination Settlement or Physical Settlement, Seller will provide the number of shares of Seller Common Stock (which shall be duly authorized and issued) to the Company required to satisfy the Conversion Obligation by no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date such shares are required to be delivered to such holders;

(vii) until the later of (A) the earlier of (1) the Maturity Date (as defined in the Indenture), or (2) the date upon which all Convertible Notes have been converted or repurchased and (B) the final satisfaction and settlement by Seller of any further excess obligations relating to or arising out of the Convertible Notes, Seller (x) shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Seller Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for its obligations under this Section 4.18 and the Convertible Notes, the aggregate number of shares of Seller Common Stock issuable under the Convertible Notes in accordance with the terms thereof, and (y) shall not adopt or enter into, or permit to be adopted or entered into, a plan of complete or partial liquidation or dissolution unless Seller has made provisions reasonably acceptable to Purchaser for the final satisfaction and settlement of any further excess obligations relating to or arising out of the Convertible Notes;

(viii) if Seller (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such

-59-

consolidation or merger or (ii) enters into any agreement with a Third Party pursuant to which such Third Party acquires, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of transactions, pursuant to a merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction (x) beneficial ownership (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), including if such ownership is through the equityholders of any such Third Party, of more than fifty percent (50%) of any class of equity securities of Seller or (y) any one or more assets or businesses of Seller and its Subsidiaries that constitute more than fifty percent (50%) of the consolidated assets of Seller, then, in each case, Seller shall make proper provision so that the continuing or surviving entity or acquiror (or, if applicable, at Purchaser's election, the ultimate parent company of such continuing or surviving entity or acquiror), as the case may be, assumes in writing (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser), on a joint and several basis, all of the obligations of Seller set forth in this Section 4.18; and

(ix) except as set forth in this Section 4.18(b), Seller will not be required to pay any amount greater than the principal amount of any Convertible Note to purchase any Convertible Note prior to the Maturity Date unless Seller agrees to do so in its sole discretion (or unless the Company would be required to do so under the terms of the Indenture).

The obligations under Section 4.18(b) shall terminate and shall become null and void, and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto under Section 4.18(b), and all rights and obligations of any party hereto under Section 4.18(b) shall cease, if prior to the Closing, (i) pursuant to the Debt Tender Offer or otherwise, the Indenture is amended to permit the Transactions without assumption of the Convertible Notes by the Company, Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable judgment, that the Transactions do not constitute a sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of Seller's properties and assets to another Person (as defined in the Indenture) or otherwise issues a ruling with substantially the same effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all actions by the Company, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates under this Section 4.18 shall be taken at Seller's sole cost and expense, and Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Company) from and against any and all Losses (including for the avoidance of doubt any Losses relating to any securities laws) relating to, arising out of or resulting from the Convertible Notes (including in connection with the Transactions or in connection with the conversion of any such Convertible Notes), but excluding any Losses to the extent fully satisfied by recourse to funds in the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 4.18(b), excluding any Losses to the extent directly resulting from any action or inaction by the Company in material breach (subject to applicable cure rights and periods) of the Indenture or by Purchaser in material breach of the provisions of this Section 4.18, and excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any premium that may be payable in connection with a tender offer that is voluntarily commenced by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates following the Closing without Seller's prior written consent.

The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement and any certificate delivered pursuant hereto by any person shall terminate at the Closing or, except as provided in Section 6.02, upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.01, as the case may be, except that this Section 8.01 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties hereto which by its terms contemplates performance after the Closing or after termination of this Agreement.

8.02 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by Seller or Purchaser without the prior written consent of the other party hereto; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign, at any time prior to the Closing, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any wholly owned U.S. Subsidiary of Purchaser (or a Purchaser Designee in order to implement the Foreign Sale as contemplated hereby); and provided, further, that any such assignment shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment in contravention of this Section 8.02 shall be null and void.

8.03 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Seller and Purchaser. At any time prior to the Closing, subject to applicable Law, any party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement or condition contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall only be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by Seller or Purchaser in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

8.04 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser. Thereafter, except as otherwise contemplated by Section 4.06 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall limit the rights of Seller or its board of directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) under Section 4.06) and except to the extent disclosed in or consistent with the Proxy Statement, no party hereto shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement or disclosure regarding this Agreement or its subject matter without the other party's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except for any such disclosure that is required by applicable Law or the rules of any applicable stock exchange or for press releases or other public statements that are substantially consistent with prior press releases or other public statements made by the parties in compliance with this Section 8.04.

-87-

8.05 Expenses. Whether or not the Transactions are consummated, and except as otherwise specified herein, each party shall bear its own expenses with respect to the Sale and the other Transactions; provided, however, that Seller shall be responsible for the timely payment of all Transfer Taxes arising out of or incurred in connection with the Sale. The party responsible under applicable Law for filing the Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns and promptly provide a copy of such Tax Return to the other party. Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate to timely prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, the allocation of responsibility for Transfer Taxes arising out of or incurred in connection with the Reorganization Transactions are governed by the Reorganization Agreement.

8.06 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future Laws effective during the term hereof, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision never comprised a part hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in its terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

8.07 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 4.08 and Section 8.15, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.

8.08 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In addition, each of the parties (a) submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in the event that any dispute (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arises out of this Agreement or the Sale or the other Transactions; (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (c) agrees that it will not bring any Action relating to this Agreement or the Sale or the other Transactions in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware; and (d) agrees that it will not seek to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, (i) that any such Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) that any such Action should be transferred or removed to any court other than one of the above-named courts, (iii) that any such Action should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other Action in any court other than one of the above-named courts, or (iv) that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be

-88-

enforced in or by the above-named courts. Each party hereto agrees that service of process upon such party in any such Action shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 8.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 8.08, a party may commence any Action in any court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts relating to any dispute (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

8.09 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

8.10 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable harm for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of such party hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

8.11 Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.

8.12 Counterparts. The parties hereto may execute this Agreement in one or more counterparts, and each fully executed counterpart shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

8.13 Notices. All notices required to be given hereunder shall be in writing and be given in person or by means of electronic mail, facsimile or other means of wire transmission (with request for assurance of receipt in a manner typical with respect to communications of that type), by overnight courier or by mail, and shall become effective: (a) on delivery if given in person; (b) on the date of transmission if sent by electronic mail, facsimile or other means of wire transmission; (c) one (1) Business Day after delivery to the overnight service; or (d) three (3) Business Days after being mailed, with proper postage and documentation, for first-class registered or certified mail, prepaid.

8.14 Construction. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be construed, in all cases, according to its fair meaning. The parties hereto acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. Words in the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be deemed to include the other gender as the context requires. The terms "hereof," "herein," and "herewith" and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Article, Section and Schedule references are to the Articles, Sections, and Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise stated, all references to any Contract shall be deemed to include the schedules to such Contract. The word "including" and words of similar import when used in this Agreement mean "including, without limitation," unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified. The word "or" shall not be exclusive. Unless otherwise specified in a particular case, the word "days" refers to calendar days. References herein to any Law shall be deemed to refer to such Law as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, unless otherwise specified. All references to "dollars" or "$" shall be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America.

8.15 Privilege; Counsel. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP (collectively and individually, "Counsel") have been engaged by Seller and/or its directors to represent them and the Business Subsidiaries, including the Company, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser (on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) hereby (a) agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser and/or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller and/or any of its Affiliates, on

-91-

the other hand, Counsel may represent Seller and/or any of its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of Seller and/or any of its Affiliates may be directly adverse to Purchaser, the Business Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates and even though Counsel may have represented the Business Subsidiaries (prior to Closing) in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for Purchaser or the Business Subsidiaries and (b) waives any conflict in connection therewith. Purchaser (on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) further agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as to all communications among Counsel, Seller and the Business Subsidiaries (including any of their respective directors, officers, employees or other Representatives) (the "Designated Persons") to the extent relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby are subject to the attorney-client privilege, and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Seller and shall be controlled by Seller and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser, the Business Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates; provided, that the foregoing shall not extend to any communication not involving this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or to communications with any Person other than the Designated Persons and their advisors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser, the Business Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates and a third party other than a party to this Agreement after the Closing, Purchaser may assert (or cause to be asserted) the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Counsel to such third party; provided, however, that to the extent such dispute relates to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser may not waive (or permit the waiver of) such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

8.16 Disclosure Schedules. The Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement and are fully incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Any capitalized terms used in any Disclosure Schedule but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in this Agreement. The inclusion of any item referenced in one section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to refer to (a) the corresponding section of this Agreement and (b) any other section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules (and accordingly to the applicable sections or subsections of this Agreement), whether or not an explicit cross-reference appears, if the applicability of such item to the other section or subsection is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of the materiality of such item, nor shall it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever.

8.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules), the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior understanding, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof.
