If, on the other hand, prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer shall object in writing to the amount of any estimate set forth in the Estimated Price Calculation Statement, and, if the Seller shall disagree with the objection, then the Buyer shall pay the amounts set forth in the Estimated Price Calculation Statement at Closing.

The Buyer Calculation with respect to the Closing Working Capital and Closing Cash shall be in the form of the Closing Statement and shall be calculated in accordance with the Sample Net Working Capital and GAAP (except as otherwise set forth in the Company Accounting Principles).

(b)     Within 45 days after delivery to the Seller of the Buyer Calculation, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer a written notice either (i) advising the Buyer that the Seller agrees with and accepts the Buyer Calculation, which shall then become the final determination of the Closing Working Capital and Closing Cash (which shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment, absent intentional and knowing fraud) for purposes of this Section 2.6 , or (ii) setting forth a reasonably detailed explanation of those items in the Buyer Calculation that the Seller disputes and a statement, with reasonable detail as to the disputed

matters, of what the Seller believes is the correct calculation of Closing Working Capital and Closing Cash (the “ Seller Calculation ”), which shall be in the form of the Closing Statement and shall be calculated in accordance with the Sample Net Working Capital and GAAP (except as otherwise set forth in the Company Accounting Principles). The only disputes that the Seller may include are disputes that (A) the Buyer Calculation was not calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including with respect to the Company Accounting Principles and the Sample Net Working Capital) or that (B) the Buyer Calculation includes mathematical errors. All items not disputed by the Seller will become final and binding upon delivery of the Seller Calculation for purposes of this Section 2.6 . If the Seller fails to provide notice either accepting or disputing the Buyer Calculation within the 45 day timeframe, the Buyer Calculation will become final and binding on the Parties in all respects for purposes of this Section 2.6 . The Seller and the accountants engaged by the Seller, if any, shall be entitled to review the Company’s working papers, trial balances and similar materials (including accountant work papers following Seller’s execution of a customary non-reliance letter) relating to the preparation of the Buyer Calculation. The Company shall also provide the Seller and its accountants with (1) the assistance of the Company’s personnel and (2) timely access, during the Company’s normal business hours, to the Company’s personnel, properties, books and records for purposes of the Seller’s review of the Buyer Calculation, such access to be provided without charge to the Seller. In no case shall the Buyer be required to afford the Seller or any of its representatives access to the Company or its personnel or books and records in a manner that unreasonably interferes with the Company’s business or operations.

(c)     In the event that the Seller and the Buyer are unable to resolve any disputes regarding the Closing Working Capital and Closing Cash within 45 days after the date the Buyer receives the Seller Calculation, then such disputes shall be referred to Duff & Phelps, LLC or, to the extent the Buyer or the Seller has determined that a conflict of interest exists, any other nationally-recognized accounting or valuation firm selected by mutual agreement of the Buyer and the Seller (the “ Settlement Accountants ”). The Seller and the Buyer shall instruct the Settlement Accountants to reach a determination as to the disputed matters not more than 45 days after such referral. Within 15 Business Days following such referral, the Buyer and the Seller shall submit to the Settlement Accountants (and the other Party) documentary materials and analyses that the Buyer or the Seller, as the case may be, believes support its respective position relating to the disputed matters set forth in the Buyer Calculation or Seller Calculation, but excluding any work papers of independent certified public accountants. The determination of the Settlement Accountants shall be final and binding for purposes of this Section 2.6 and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment, absent intentional and knowing fraud or a scrivener’s or mechanical error. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to authorize or permit the Settlement Accountants to resolve any dispute by making an adjustment to the Closing Working Capital and Closing Cash, as applicable, that is outside of the issues or the range defined by the Buyer Calculation and the Seller Calculation. In the event the Settlement Accountant agrees entirely with either the Buyer Calculation or the Seller Calculation, then the non-prevailing party shall be responsible for all of the fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountant (and in such case the non-prevailing promptly shall promptly (i) pay to the Settlement Accountant all such fees and expenses then due and owing and (ii) if applicable, reimburse the prevailing party for any portion of such fees and expenses already paid by the prevailing party); otherwise, the fees and expenses of the Settlement Account shall be split proportionally, as determined by the Settlement Accountant, between the Buyer and the Seller based on the difference (when compared to each other) between each Party’s calculation and the final resolution by the Settlement Accountant (and each party shall promptly pay to the Settlement Accountant such Party’s proportionate share of such fees and expenses then due and owing). The date on which the Final Working Capital and Final Cash are agreed or finally determined is referred to as the “ Determination Date ”.

(d)     No later than five Business Days after the Determination Date, the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, shall make the following payments to the applicable Person via wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Person entitled to receive such payment:

(i)     (A) if the Final Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Working Capital, then the Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, deliver to the Seller an amount equal to the difference and (B) if the Estimated Working Capital is greater than the Final Working Capital, then the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer an amount equal to the difference; and

(ii)     (A) if the Final Cash is greater than the Estimated Cash, then the Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, deliver to the Seller an amount equal to the difference and (B) if the Estimated Cash is greater than the Final Cash, then the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer an amount equal to the difference.

2.7      Earn-Out .

(a)      Earn-Out Payment . In addition to the Purchase Price, if in any Earn-Out Period Filtrexx EBITDA equals or exceeds $5,000,000, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the product of (i) 0.4, multiplied by (ii) the Filtrexx EBITDA achieved during such Earn-Out Period (the “ Earn-Out Payment ”); provided , that the maximum aggregate amount of all Earn-Out Payments that the Buyer shall be obligated to pay shall be $40,000,000. If, in any Earn-Out Period, Filtrexx EBITDA is less than $5,000,000, then no Earn-Out Payment shall be payable with respect to such Earn-Out Period.

(b)      Timing of Payment .

(i)      Earn-Out Statement . During the Earn-Out Period, the Buyer shall maintain separate books and records with respect to its operation of Filtrexx, consistent with Filtrexx’s past practice, sufficient to enable the parties to accurately determine Filtrexx EBITDA for purposes of the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment. Within 60 days following the end of each Earn-Out Period, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a statement (the “ Earn-Out Statement ”) setting forth the Buyer’s determination and calculation of Filtrexx EBITDA during the Earn-Out Period and the potential Earn-Out Payment to the Seller, if any (the “ Earn-Out Calculation ”). The Earn-Out Calculation shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP and prepared on a basis consistent with the calculation of Filtrexx EBITDA set forth on Exhibit D .

(ii)      Earn-Out Objection Statement . The Buyer shall afford the Seller and its representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to (A) the Company’s books, records and other documents (including work papers, schedules, financial statements and memoranda) relating to or used in connection with the Buyer’s preparation and calculation of such Earn-Out Statement and (B) the Company’s accountants and employees and shall cause such Persons to cooperate with the inquiries of the Seller and its representatives, in each case, for the purpose of verifying such Earn-Out Statement; provided , that the Seller and its representatives, as applicable, execute and deliver customary non-reliance letters at the request of the Buyer’s and the Company’s accountants. The Buyer will not charge the Seller or its representatives for such access. Within 45 days following receipt of an Earn-Out Statement, the Seller may deliver written notice (the “ Earn-Out Objection Statement ”) to the Buyer of any disagreement that the Seller may have as to such Earn-Out Statement. Such Earn-Out Objection Statement shall set forth in reasonable detail each disputed

item (each, an “ Disputed Earn-Out Item ”), the amount disputed and the Seller’s basis for such disagreement, together with supporting calculations and the Seller’s position as to the proper calculation of the Disputed Earn-Out Items, and the Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items contained in the Earn-Out Statement and the calculations of the items set forth therein. The failure of the Seller to deliver such Earn-Out Objection Statement during such 45 day time period will constitute the Seller’s acceptance of the Earn-Out Statement as determined by the Buyer and the amounts and calculations set forth therein shall be deemed to be final and binding upon the Parties.

(iii)      Resolution of Dispute . If the Buyer and the Seller are unable to resolve any disagreement as to any Disputed Earn-Out Item within 45 days following the Buyer’s receipt of an Earn-Out Objection Statement, then the amounts in dispute will be referred to the Settlement Accountant. The Seller and the Buyer shall instruct the Settlement Accountant to reach a determination as to the disputed matters not more than 45 days after such referral. Within 15 Business Days following such referral, the Buyer and the Seller shall submit to the Settlement Accountant (and the other Party) documentary materials and analyses that the Buyer or the Seller, as the case may be, believes support its respective position relating to the Disputed Earn-Out Items. The determination of the Settlement Accountant shall be final and binding for purposes of this Section 2.7 and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment, absent intentional and knowing fraud. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to authorize or permit the Settlement Accountant to resolve any dispute by making an adjustment to an Earn-Out Payment that is outside of the issues or range proposed by the Buyer and the Seller. In the event the Settlement Accountant agrees entirely with either the Buyer or the Seller, then the nonprevailing party shall be responsible for all of the fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountant (and in such case the nonprevailing promptly shall promptly (A) pay to the Settlement Accountant all such fees and expenses then due and owing and (B) if applicable, reimburse the prevailing party for any portion of such fees and expenses already paid by the prevailing party); otherwise, fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountant shall be split proportionally, as determined by the Settlement Accountant, between the Buyer and the Seller based on the difference (when compared to each other) between each Party’s calculation and the final resolution by the Settlement Accountant (and each party shall promptly pay to the Settlement Accountant such party’s proportionate share of such fees and expenses then due and owing). The term “ Final Earn-Out Statement ,” as used in this Agreement, shall mean a definitive Earn-Out Statement accepted (or deemed accepted) by the Seller or agreed to by the Seller and the Buyer in accordance with Section 2.7(b)(ii) or a definitive Earn-Out Statement resulting from the determinations made by the Settlement Accountant in accordance with this Section 2.7(b)(iii) (in addition to those items theretofore accepted by the Seller or agreed to by the Seller and the Buyer).

(iv)      Payment of Earn-Out Payment . Subject to Section 11.11 , the Buyer shall pay the Earn-Out Payment (if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to such account designated by the Seller within five Business Days after the Final Earn-Out Statement is accepted or finally determined pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(iii) .

(c)      Earn-Out Covenants . During each Earn-Out Period, the Buyer shall (i) operate Filtrexx and its business in good faith; (ii) not knowingly and intentionally take any action with respect to such operations, one of the purposes of which is to negatively prejudice the Seller’s ability to achieve the Earn-Out Payment, it being understood that the Buyer’s mere recognition that a given action may prejudice the Seller’s ability to achieve the Earn-Out Payment shall not constitute having a “purpose” to do so; and (iii) not cause Filtrexx to enter into any transactions with any Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Buyer (including the Company)

other than on an arm’s-length basis. Within 30 days following each three-month period during the Earn-Out Period, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller a statement showing (A) the applicable Filtrexx EBITDA calculations for such period, which shall include supporting detail for such calculations, and (B) the amount of the projected Earn-Out Payment calculated using Filtrexx EBITDA achieved as of such date (each, a “ Quarterly Report ”).

(d)      Acceleration of Earn-Out Payment . Without limiting the Seller’s other rights that it may have under this Agreement, at Law or in equity, if any of the following events (each, an “ Earn-Out Acceleration Event ”) occur during any Earn-Out Period, then one hundred percent (100%) of the maximum Earn-Out Payment shall be deemed to be earned in full, without further action of the Parties, and the Buyer shall notify the Seller at least 10 Business Days prior to the occurrence of any of the following events and, subject to Section 11.11 , shall pay such Earn-Out Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to such account designated by the Seller:

(i)     the Buyer dissolves or liquidates Filtrexx or sells, transfers, exchanges, leases or otherwise disposes of, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of Filtrexx, except that the Earn-Out Payment will not be accelerated in the case of a sale, transfer, exchange, lease or other disposition in a single transaction or series of related transactions, to an Affiliate of the Buyer or a third party acquirer of all or substantially all of the assets of Filtrexx so long as the Affiliate or third party acquirer, as applicable, shall (A) agree to, during the remainder of the Earn-Out Period, maintain and carry on the business conducted by Filtrexx prior to such sale or transfer with respect to such assets acquired as if such Affiliate or third party acquirer had acquired all of the outstanding stock of Filtrexx and (B) assume in writing all of the Buyer’s obligations under this Section 2.7 such that the terms of this Section 2.7 shall apply mutatis mutandis to such Affiliate or third party acquirer, as applicable, to the same extent as they apply to the Buyer; provided , that the Buyer shall remain fully responsible for all of its Affiliate’s obligations under this Section 2.7 ;

(ii)     Filtrexx consummates a merger or consolidation into or with any other Person, or the Buyer consummates a sale, exchange or other disposition of the Equity Interests of Filtrexx, or other similar transaction, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, in each case, such that the Buyer no longer owns, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding Equity Interests of Filtrexx following such transaction or series of related transactions, except that the Earn-Out Payment will not be accelerated in the case of a sale, transfer, exchange, lease or other disposition in a single transaction or series of related transactions to, or a merger or consolidation with, an Affiliate of the Buyer or a third party acquirer of Filtrexx so long as the Affiliate or third party acquirer, as applicable shall assume in writing all of the Buyer’s obligations under this Section 2.7 such that the terms of this Section 2.7 shall apply mutatis mutandis to such Affiliate or third party acquirer, as applicable, to the same extent as they apply to the Buyer; provided , further , that the Buyer shall remain fully responsible for all of its Affiliate’s obligations under this Section 2.7 .

(iii)     For the avoidance of doubt, a merger, consolidation, sale, exchange or other disposition of the Buyer or the equity interests of the Buyer, as applicable, or a transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Buyer shall be deemed not to be an Earn-Out Acceleration Event.

The Parties agree that the Purchase Price, including any debt or obligations that are properly included in the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, shall be allocated among the assets of the Company and the U.S. Subsidiaries in accordance with the requirements of Section 1060 of the Code. No later than 90 days following the Closing, the Buyer shall propose to the Seller the allocation provided for in the preceding sentence, and if the Buyer and the Seller are able to agree upon such allocation, or any revisions thereto, the Buyer and the Seller shall reflect the agreed-upon allocation for all applicable Tax purposes, including for purposes of IRS Form 8594.  If the Buyer and the Seller are unable to agree upon such allocation, the Buyer and the Seller shall each be permitted to independently determine the allocation to be used by such Party for applicable Tax purposes.

2.9      Tax Withholding . The Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable to the Seller under this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom or in connection therewith under the Code or any provision of Law relating to Taxes, as determined by the Buyer and all such withheld amounts shall be remitted to the applicable Taxing Authorities promptly following the date of payment. In any case where withholding or deduction is required, the Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Seller at least 15 days prior to withholding (or, if later, promptly after the Buyer becomes aware of its obligation to withhold) any amount pursuant to this Section 2.9 (other than in respect of any payroll taxes), and the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to reduce or avoid such withholding where possible. Despite having amounts so withheld, the Seller shall be treated as though it had received the full amounts to which it is otherwise entitled.

an Indemnification Claim for which payment may be sought under Section 11.3 . The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any such Indemnification Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result of such failure. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified by it hereunder. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume control of an Indemnification Claim, and the indemnifying party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the indemnified party (to the extent the Indemnification Claim is determined to be indemnifiable under this Article XI ), if (A) the Indemnification Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment or allegation, (B) the Indemnification Claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief, or (C) the Indemnification Claim involves a claim by a customer or supplier of the indemnified party or a Governmental Entity that, if adversely determined, would impair in any material respect the financial condition, business, operations, reputation or prospects of the indemnified party.

If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder, it shall within 30 days (or sooner, if the nature of the Indemnification Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so. If the indemnifying party does not elect to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Indemnification Claim and its costs of doing so shall constitute Losses for purposes of Section 11.2 or 11.3 .

The Parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.4 to the contrary, neither the indemnifying party nor the indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the Seller or the Buyer as applicable (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any Indemnification Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the claimant provides an unqualified release of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party from all Liability in respect of the Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) a settlement offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable third party claimant and the third party claimant is willing to issue a full release of both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and (y) the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party in writing of the indemnifying party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and, subject to the applicable limitations of Sections 11.5 and 11.6 , pay the amount called for by such offer, and the indemnified party declines to accept such offer, the indemnified party may continue to contest such Indemnification Claim, free of any participation

by the indemnifying party, at its own expense, and the amount of any ultimate Liability with respect to such Indemnification Claim that the indemnifying party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the amount of the settlement offer that the indemnified party declined to accept plus any other Losses of the indemnified party relating to such Indemnification Claim through the date of its rejection of the settlement offer or (B) the aggregate Losses of the indemnified party with respect to such Indemnification Claim (but in any case, subject to Sections 11.5 and 11.6 ).

(c)     After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at an agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter.

(b)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Buyer nor the Seller shall be liable, other than with respect to intentional and knowing fraud, for any amount in excess of the Purchase Price plus the Conwed NV Enterprise Value.

(c)     No Buyer Indemnified Party shall make any claim for indemnification under this Article XI in respect of (i) any amount to extent that it is specifically reflected in and taken into account as a Current Liability in the calculation of Working Capital, including any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.6 or (ii) any Loss to the extent such Loss arises from the same set of facts with respect to which the Indemnitee previously asserted its indemnification rights under this Article XI and recovered its Losses thereunder.

If amounts are recovered from a Collateral Source after an indemnifying party makes a payment to or on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article XI , the net proceeds thereof shall promptly be remitted to the Indemnifying Party that made such payment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that no right of subrogation to any rights of any party hereunder shall accrue or inure to the benefit of any Collateral Source.

(b)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no party shall, in any event, be liable to any other Person for any punitive damages of such other Person, except to the extent payable to a third party.

11.7      Materiality .

From and after the Closing, other than with respect to the Parties’ rights and remedies provided in Section 2.6 and Section 2.7(b) or any intentional and knowing fraud claim and subject to Section 11.11 , the sole and exclusive monetary remedy for any breach or failure to be true and correct, or alleged breach or failure to be true and correct, of any representation or warranty or any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the Conwed NV Purchase Agreement, shall be indemnification in accordance with this Article XI . In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, on behalf of themselves and, in the case of the Buyer, on behalf of its applicable designee or designees signatory to the Conwed NV Purchase Agreement, other than with respect to Section 2.6 and Section 2.7(b) and any intentional and knowing fraud claim and subject to Section 11.11 , any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contribution, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against any other Party (or Buyer’s applicable designees signatory to the Conwed NV Purchase Agreement), as the case may be, arising under or based upon any Law to the extent arising out of the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.9 shall not operate to interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of Article II concerning the (a) resolution of certain disputes relating to the determination of the Purchase Price or any Earn-Out Payment between the Parties and/or by a Settlement Accountant and (b) the rights of the Parties to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief).

11.10      Guarantee of the Seller Indemnification Obligations . Leucadia, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Buyer, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and timely

payment and performance of the Seller’s covenants and agreements in this Article XI (collectively, the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”). This is a guarantee of payment and performance, and not merely of collection, and Leucadia acknowledges and agrees that this guarantee is full and unconditional, and no amendment, modification, release or extinguishment of the Seller’s obligations or Liabilities, whether by decree in any bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, shall affect the continuing validity and enforceability of this guarantee; provided , however , that a Delay of Payment must have occurred before any Buyer Indemnified Parties may seek to enforce a Guaranteed Obligation against Leucadia. The Seller and Leucadia hereby waive, for the benefit of Buyer, (a) any right to require the Buyer, as a condition of payment or performance by Leucadia, to proceed in any Legal Proceeding against the Seller or pursue any other remedies whatsoever after a Delay of Payment has occurred and (b) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by any Law that limit the Liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, other than defense of payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Leucadia understands that the Buyer is relying on this guarantee in entering into this Agreement. Leucadia hereby represents and warrants, on behalf of itself only, that (i) it has all requisite power and authority or capacity to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and (ii) this Agreement represents (assuming the valid authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Buyer) the legal, valid and binding obligation of Leucadia, enforceable against Leucadia in accordance with its terms. The foregoing representations and warranties of Leucadia shall survive until the expiration of the Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Article XI .

11.11      Setoff . In addition to any rights of setoff that the Buyer or any of the other Buyer Indemnified Parties may have at common law or otherwise, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Seller, to deduct from any Earn-Out Payment that would be otherwise payable pursuant to Section 2.7 any sum that is or may be owed to the Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party under this Article XI as a result of a Permitted Setoff Event; provided , that if the amount of any Loss relating to any such Permitted Setoff Event is determined by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction not to be owed to the Buyer or the other Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms hereof, such setoff amount shall be promptly funded by the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.7 or otherwise cancelled, as applicable, if no amount is yet owed to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.7 .

12.9      Entire Agreement . The Transaction Documents and the documents, instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including the Exhibits and Schedules, set forth the entire understanding of the Parties hereto with respect to the Transaction. All Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein are intended to be and hereby are specifically made a part of this Agreement.

12.10      Captions . All captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, do not form a part of this Agreement and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

12.11      Severability . Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

12.12      Specific Performance . Each of the Parties agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof and that each Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at Law or equity. In furtherance of and without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, (a) each of the Seller and the Buyer shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches of, or enforce compliance with, those covenants of Buyer that require Buyer to consummate the Transactions or of Seller that require Seller to consummate the Transactions, as the case may be, and (b) from and after the Closing, the Buyer shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of, or enforce compliance with, those covenants of the Seller and Leucadia set forth in Article VIII that contemplate performance after the Closing.

12.13      Conflicts and Privilege .

(a)     The Buyer agrees that, notwithstanding any current or prior representation of the Company and its Subsidiaries by Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP and Snell & Wilmer L.L.P. (together, the “ Firms ” and, each, a “ Firm ”), each Firm shall be allowed to represent the Seller or any of its Affiliates in any matters and disputes (or any other matter), including in any matter or dispute adverse to the Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary that relates to this Agreement and the Transactions (a “ Dispute ”). The Buyer hereby (i) waives any claim it has or may have that such Firm has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in any such representation; (ii) agrees that, in the event that a Dispute arises after the Closing between the Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, such Firm may represent Seller or any of its Affiliates in such Dispute even though the interests of Seller or its Affiliate may be directly adverse to the Buyer, the Company or the Subsidiaries and even though such Firm may have represented the Company or the Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such Dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for the Company or the Subsidiaries; provided , however ,

that no such representation shall constitute a waiver of any attorney-client privilege between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and either Firm, on the other hand, and the Seller shall cause either Firm, as applicable, acting as its counsel to not take any actions or engage in any representation that would affect or be deemed to be such a waiver, it being understood that the determination of whether such a waiver has occurred (or is reasonably likely to occur) will be subject to the Seller’s reasonable determination and nothing in this Section 12.13 shall be construed to prevent the Seller from taking any action with respect to which the Seller has reasonably determined that no such waiver will, or is reasonably likely to, occur as a result thereof.

(b)     The Buyer is aware that, in connection with the Firms’ representation of the Company and the Subsidiaries, the Firms are or may be in possession of information of the Company and the Subsidiaries including communications between either Firm and the Company or any of its Subsidiary relating to the Transactions (such documents in the possession of either Firm shall be referred to as the “ Communications ”). The Buyer agrees that the foregoing shall not be asserted as a basis to claim that a Firm cannot represent the Seller or its Affiliates in any matter, including in a Dispute. The Buyer further agrees that, following the Closing, the Seller may use such Communications so long as the Seller reasonably determines that the use of such Communications shall not waive (and is reasonably likely not to waive) any applicable privilege, and that the Buyer will not (i) request from either Firm or (ii) use or intentionally access any of the Communications in connection with any Dispute or potential Dispute; provided , however , that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Buyer from requesting, using or accessing any Communications in connection with document production requests or discovery in any Legal Proceeding by an unrelated third party so long as such Communications are not subject to exclusion from such document production request or discovery on the basis of attorney-client privilege. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 12.13 or in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any Communications to any third party, and the Seller shall not take any action, or cause the Firms to take any action, that the Seller reasonably determines would reasonably be expected to waive any such privilege or protection as to any third party.

12.14      Interpretation .

(a)     The meaning assigned to each term defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and the plural forms of such term and vice versa, and words denoting either gender shall include both genders as the context requires. Where a word or phrase is defined herein, each of its other grammatical forms shall have a corresponding meaning.

(b)     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 and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

(c)     When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference is to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement as amended unless otherwise specified.

(d)     The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” unless otherwise specified.

(e)     A reference to any Party to this Agreement or any other agreement or document shall include such Party’s predecessors, successors and permitted assigns.

(f)     Reference to any Law means such Law as amended, modified, codified, replaced or reenacted, and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(g)     Any document, list or other item shall be deemed to have been “made available” to Buyer for purposes of this Agreement only if such document, list or other item was posted prior to the date of this Agreement in the electronic data room established by Seller in connection with the Transactions before the date hereof.

(h)     The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Any rule of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement to be construed or interpreted against any Party by virtue of the authorship of this Agreement shall not apply to the construction and interpretation hereof.

(i)     Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to give Buyer, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s or any of the Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Closing Date, and nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to give the Company or Seller, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct Buyer’s or its subsidiaries’ operations. Prior to the Closing Date, each of Buyer and the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its subsidiaries’ respective operations.

(j)     Except to the extent a shorter time period is expressly set forth herein for a particular cause of action, Actions hereunder may be brought at any time prior to the expiration of the longest time period permitted by Section 8106(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Any cause of action for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein shall accrue, and the statute of limitations period shall begin to run, upon discovery of such breach by the Party seeking to assert such cause of action.

12.15      Further Assurances . After the Closing, from time to time, as and when requested by any Party, each Party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other reasonable actions, as such other Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the Transactions, including, in the case of Seller, executing and delivering to the Buyer such assignments, deeds, bills of sale, consents and other instruments as the Buyer or its counsel may reasonably request as necessary or desirable for such purpose, and in the case of the Buyer, providing the Seller with the information and cooperation reasonably requested by the Seller in order to enable the Seller and its Affiliates to comply with their reporting and compliance obligations under applicable Laws as they relate to the Acquired Companies for the period prior to Closing and/or the Transactions.

12.16      Parent Guarantee . Parent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Seller, as primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the full and timely payment and performance of the Buyer’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement (collectively, the “ Buyer Guaranteed Obligations ”). This is a guarantee of payment and performance, and not merely of collection, and Parent acknowledges and agrees that this guarantee is full and unconditional, and no amendment, modification, release or extinguishment of the Buyer’s obligations or Liabilities, whether by decree in any bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, shall affect

the continuing validity and enforceability of this guarantee; provided , however , that a Delay of Payment must have occurred before any Seller Indemnified Parties may seek to enforce a Buyer Guaranteed Obligation against Parent. Parent hereby waives, for the benefit of the Seller, (a) any right to require the Buyer, as a condition of payment or performance by Parent, to proceed in any Legal Proceeding against the Buyer or pursue any other remedies whatsoever after a Delay of Payment has occurred and (b) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by any Law that limit the Liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, other than defense of payment and performance in full of the Buyer Guaranteed Obligations. Parent understands that the Seller is relying on this guarantee in entering into this Agreement. Parent hereby represents and warrants that (i) it has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and (ii) this Agreement represents (assuming the valid authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the other parties hereto) the legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms. The foregoing representations and warranties of Parent shall survive until the Buyer Guaranteed Obligations have been performed or paid and satisfied in full.
