(b) If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Adjustment Statement, then the Sellers shall have the option, in their sole discretion, (i) to declare the Closing Calculation to be deemed the final Adjustment Statement hereunder, or (ii) to prepare the Adjustment Statement at Buyer’s expense; provided, however, if the Sellers elect to prepare and deliver the Adjustment Statement pursuant to this Section 2.10(b), then the Buyer shall have the right to object to the Adjustment Statement as if the Buyer was the Seller and subject to the same requirements (including with respect to timing) as set forth in this Section 2.10(b), mutatis mutandis.

The Arbitrating Accountant will determine the allocation of the cost of the Arbitrating Accountant’s review and report based on the inverse of the percentage its determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Arbitrating Accountant. For example, should the items in dispute total an amount equal to $1,000 and the Arbitrating Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Sellers’ position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of the Arbitrating Accountant’s review would be borne by Buyer and forty percent (40%) of the costs of the Arbitrating Accountant’s review would be borne by the Sellers.

(f) The parties agree that any payments required under this Section 2.10 shall not be subject to offset for any reason.

(h) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.10 (other than fees paid to the Arbitrating Accountant) shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal income tax purposes.

3.11 Employee Benefit Plans.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Controlled Group Liability” means any and all liabilities under Title IV of ERISA, Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA. No Employee Plan provides for post-employment health or welfare benefits to any current or former Company Employee or Parent Business Employee, except as required by Section 4980B of the Code or any similar state Law.

(g) Except as set forth on Section 3.11(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions hereby, (either alone or in combination with another event (whether contingent or otherwise)) will (i) entitle any current or former Company Employee, Parent Business Employee or other service provider of any Company Group member to any payment or benefit, or increase the amount or value of any payment, compensation or benefits due to such person; (ii) accelerate the vesting, funding or time of payment or

28

delivery of any compensation, equity award or other payment or benefit; (iii) result in any Loss or commitment by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group following Closing) under, or with respect to, any Employee Plan, any current or former Company Employee, Parent Business Employee or other service provider of any Company Group member; or (iv) result in any “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or any similar foreign, state or local Laws.

To the Knowledge of the Sellers (to the extent in respect of the Business) or the Companies, there are no organizational efforts or activities with respect to the formation of a collective bargaining unit, or demand for recognition by a labor organization presently being made or threatened, or that have been made or threatened since January 1, 2018, involving current or former employees of the Company Group or the Parent Business Employees.

Buyer or its Affiliates will not make any contributions to Buyer Plans on behalf of or for the Continuing Employees with respect to prior service. For purposes of vesting under the Buyer or its Affiliates’ 401(k) plan, each Continuing Employee shall be credited with a

57

year of service for each complete calendar year of employment with Parent and its Affiliates based on such Continuing Employee’s recognized date of hire with Parent and its Affiliates. For the calendar year in which Closing occurs (if Closing is other than on the last day of such year) each Continuing Employee will be credited with hours of service with Parent and its Affiliates before the Closing Date based on such Parent Business Employee’s scheduled work hours or any other method determined appropriate by Buyer or its Affiliates.

(c) Payment of Accrued Employee Obligations. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume, and shall agree to honor, pay, perform and discharge when due (including in the case of paid time off, by carrying over and giving credit for), as applicable, all (i) accrued but unused paid time off (but excluding any paid time off that would not be payable to an employee at termination pursuant to Parent Plans or Seller’s policies (e.g., extended sick bank time)) due to the applicable Continuing Employee as of the Closing Date and (ii) accrued but unpaid bonus obligations, and related employer portion of payroll taxes, in respect of the Continuing Employees as of the Closing Date (“Accrued Employee Obligations”).

(d) Parent 401(k) Plan. As soon as reasonably practicable following Closing, Parent and Buyer shall cooperate to take whatever actions are necessary to allow and facilitate the rollover of the Continuing Employees’ accounts in the Parent 401(k) Plan to a similar qualified defined contribution plan within the meaning of Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code sponsored by Buyer. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to or as soon as practicable after Closing, Parent shall fully fund all employer contributions to the Parent 401(k) Plan on behalf of the Continuing Employees that would have been made on behalf of such employees had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred, but prorated for the portion of the plan year that ends on the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 7.4(d), “Parent 401(k) Plan” means the Brookdale Senior Living Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan.

(e) Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) shall retain the liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any and all workers’ compensation, short- and long-term disability, medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment and other welfare benefit claims incurred prior to the Closing Date by a Parent Business Employee or a Company Employee while participating in a Parent Plan providing such benefits. With respect to claims incurred on or after the Closing Date by the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents under a Buyer Plan, in both cases, providing for workers’ compensation short- and long-term disability, medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment and other welfare benefit claims, Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company Group following Closing) shall be responsible. For these purposes, a claim shall be deemed to be incurred: (i) in the case of short- or long-term disability benefits (including related health benefits), at the time of the injury, sickness or other event giving rise to the claim for such benefits, (ii) in the case of workers’ compensation benefits, when the event giving rise to the claim occurs, (iii) in the case of medical, prescription drug, dental or vision benefits, at the time professional services, equipment or prescription drugs covered by the applicable plan are obtained, (iv) in the case of life insurance benefits, upon death, and (v) in the case of accidental death and dismemberment benefits, at the time of the accident.

(f) Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, reasonably and in good faith to carry out the provisions of this Section 7.4, including by providing Buyer with an updated Employee Census File and Independent Contractors List and furnishing other relevant information readily available to Sellers (and in the form readily available) to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer in writing.

58

(g) This Section 7.4 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 7.4, express or implied, shall confer upon any Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 7.4. Nothing contained herein, express or implied shall be construed to establish, amend, terminate or modify any Parent Plan, Company Plan, Buyer Plan or other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude any Restricted Party from (i) engaging in general solicitations of employment by means of general advertisements or through a professional recruiter who was not instructed to target any employee of the Company Group (so long as any Senior Employee responding to such solicitation or advertisement is not actually hired) or (ii) hiring any such Senior Employee that has been terminated for a period of six (6) months by Buyer or its Affiliates following the Closing.

(c) Parent shall notify Buyer no later than five (5) Business Days after the closing of any acquisition by a Restricted Party of a Competing Business in accordance with Section 7.7(b)(ii)(B) and Buyer shall have the right to elect to cause the JV LLC or one of the JV LLC’s wholly owned Subsidiaries to purchase such Competing Business (which purchase may take the form of a purchase of the ownership interests and/or assets of the Competing Business as reasonably agreed by the parties) from Parent or the applicable Restricted Parties at Fair Market Value (as such term is defined in the Operating Agreement) and on such other terms as are mutually agreed by the parties (which terms shall (i) include a covenant from the applicable Restricted Party to pursue related indemnification obligations (upon the JV LLC’s request) and other available remedies under the applicable definitive purchase agreement under which such Restricted Party acquired such Competing Business or any insurance coverage obtained in connection therewith and pass such benefits and rights to the JV LLC, and to otherwise enforce the rights of the applicable Restricted Party under such definitive agreement to the extent related to the Competing Business, or (ii) otherwise provide such protections for the benefit of the JV LLC on mutually agreed terms (including by assignment thereof), in each case, with respect to the enforcement of such rights, at the sole cost and expense of JV LLC). If (i) Buyer does not elect to purchase such Competing Business within thirty (30) Business Days following its receipt of the notice delivered by Parent pursuant to the preceding sentence or (ii) Buyer elects to purchase such Competing Business but later revokes such election prior to signing a definitive acquisition agreement or the definitive acquisition agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Parent or the applicable Restricted Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than eighteen (18) months following the expiration of such thirty (30) Business Day period (in the case of clause (i)) or the date Buyer revokes its election or the acquisition agreement is terminated (in the case of clause (ii)), divest the ownership interests and/or assets of such Competing Business to a third party or suspend material operations of such Competing Business.

7.8 Wrong Pockets. In the event that, from time to time after the Closing, any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, or Sellers and their Affiliates, on the other hand, shall receive or otherwise possess any checks, cash or other form of payment that is the property of Sellers and their Affiliates in respect of the Retained Business or the Company Group in respect of the Business, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Buyer (with respect to the Company Group) and Sellers (with respect to each Seller and its respective Subsidiaries) shall, or cause such party to, promptly transfer or assign, the same to the party so entitled.

Any use of the Sellers’ Names and Marks by the Company Group, and all goodwill arising therefrom, shall inure to the benefit of Sellers and their Affiliates. No member of the Company Group shall contest the ownership or validity of any rights of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates in or to the Sellers’ Names and Marks.

(c) Nothing in this Section 7.9 shall preclude any member of the Company Group from making, at any time, any reference to the Sellers’ Names and Marks in internal or archived historical, tax, employment or similar records or in connection with offering memoranda, prospectuses, registration statements or similar documents circulated to prospective investors or financing sources or as otherwise reasonably necessary or appropriate to describe the historical relationship of the Sellers and their Affiliates with the Company Group or as otherwise required by applicable Laws.

(a) Sellers shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely file (or cause to be timely filed) (i) all Tax Returns of any Seller Affiliated Group that report items of any member of the Company Group, and (ii) all other Income Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to any member of the Company Group for any tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (other than any Straddle Period) (each, a “Seller Tax Return”). Sellers shall submit to Buyer any such Seller Tax Return, as reasonably requested by Buyer, for Buyer’s review and comment prior to filing; provided, that in the case of any Tax Return of any Seller Affiliated Group, Sellers shall be obligated to provide only pro forma statements (including the relevant data used to create such pro forma statements, excluding data that may disclose information about the operations of any member of a Seller Affiliated Group other than members of the Company Group) reporting the operations of the Company Group on a separate return basis. Sellers shall remit all Taxes reflected as due and owing on any Seller Tax Return to be filed by Buyer described in subsection (ii) above, to the extent not reflected in the determination of Pre-Closing Income Tax Amount, to Buyer not later than five (5) days prior to the due date thereof, and Buyer (to the extent any Seller Tax Return is not filed by Sellers) shall timely file, or cause to be filed, such Tax Return and remit therewith all Taxes shown as due and owing on such Tax Return.

(b) Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed any Tax Return, other than a Seller Tax Return, required to be filed by any member of the Company Group that has an original due date (taking into account extensions validly obtained) after the Closing Date.

64

any Tax Return for a Straddle Period for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (as determined pursuant to Section 10.2), to the extent not reflected in the determination of Pre-Closing Income Tax Amount or Net Working Capital, to Buyer not later than ten (10) days prior to the due date thereof.

10.2 Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of any member of the Company Group for any Straddle Period, the determination of the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period for purposes of this Agreement shall be: (a) in the case of Income Taxes, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable period ended on the Closing Date, and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit for the Straddle Period, shall be allocated between such taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” pursuant to general Tax principles by assuming that the books of the Company Group, as applicable, were closed on the Closing Date, as adjusted with respect to the results of any operations (including operations in the ordinary course of business) of the Company Group occurring on the Closing Date after the Reference Time, to the extent not reflected in Cash on Hand, Net Working Capital or Indebtedness, each as finally determined, to properly allocate them to the portion of the day following the Closing to the extent allowed by Law; and (b) in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

10.3 Buyer Tax Covenants.

(a) Without the prior written consent of the Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing for the avoidance of doubt, any member of the Company Group) to (i) except as provided in Section 10.1(a), file, re-file, supplement, or amend any Tax Return of any member of the Company Group for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, (ii) voluntarily approach any Governmental Authority regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of any member of the Company Group that were originally due on or before the Closing Date, or (iii) except as provided herein, make any Tax election with respect to any member of the Company Group that would be effective on or before the Closing Date.

(b) Buyer will not take any action with respect to the members of the Company Group that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to constitute part of a transaction that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the “Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter” described in Internal Revenue Service Notices 2001-16 and 2008-111.

10.4 Contests Related to Taxes.

(a) After the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to give written notice to the Sellers of the receipt of any written notice by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer (including, following the Closing, the Company Group) that involves the assertion of any Claim or the commencement of any audit, suit, action or Proceeding involving Taxes for which the Sellers may be liable (pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) (collectively, a “Seller Tax Claim”) within twenty (20) days of receipt of such written notice.

(b) The Sellers shall have the exclusive right to represent the interests of the members of the Company Group in any and all Seller Tax Claims relating to Tax Returns or Taxes of the members of the Company Group for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate, or cause the members of the Company Group to participate, in any Seller Tax Claim. Sellers shall keep Buyer reasonably informed regarding events occurring in the course of any such Seller Tax Claim and provide Buyer copies of all material documents and submissions related to such Seller Tax Claim for Buyer’s review and comment.

65

(c) The Sellers shall give written notice to Buyer and allow Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in any audit of a Seller Affiliated Group Tax Return to the extent that such Tax Return relates to any member of the Company Group and could be reasonably expected to adversely affect Buyer or any member of the Company Group after the Closing Date; provided, that no member of any Seller Affiliated Group shall be required to share any information with Buyer with respect to any member of a Seller Affiliated Group other than a member of the Company Group. The Sellers shall not settle any such audit of a Seller Affiliated Group Tax Return in a manner that would adversely affect Buyer or the Company Group after the Closing Date (except where such adverse effects would be borne in all material respects by Sellers as continuing members of JV LLC) without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) The Sellers and Buyer shall jointly agree on the conduct of any Seller Tax Claim relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of any member of the Company Group for a Straddle Period.

10.5 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer, the Companies and the Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Article X and any Claims related to Taxes with respect to any member of the Company Group. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Claims with respect to Taxes of any member of the Company Group and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Any information obtained pursuant to this Section 10.5 or pursuant to any other Section hereof providing for the sharing of information or review of any Tax Return or other schedule relating to Taxes with respect to the members of the Company Group shall be kept confidential by the parties hereto and their respective legal and tax advisors.

10.6 Transfer Taxes. Any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein shall be borne by Buyer.

10.7 Section 754 Election and Tax Allocation. Buyer and Sellers agree that the JV LLC shall make a timely election pursuant to the provisions of Section 754 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any corresponding election under state, local income Tax law) (the “Section 754 Election”), in connection with the purchase of the Securities by Buyer from the Sellers and the transactions consummated pursuant to this Agreement, to adjust the Tax basis of the assets of the JV LLC as provided in Section 743 of the Code. The JV LLC shall prepare and deliver such documents and forms as are required by applicable law for an effective Section 754 Election, including the statement required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.743-1(k)(1) (regarding the effect of the adjustment of the basis of the JV LLC’s assets). The parties shall each file all required Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Section 754 Election. The parties agree that Buyer shall prepare an allocation (“Tax Allocation”) among the JV LLC’s assets in accordance with Section 755 of the Code and for purposes of (x) determining the applicable adjustment to the Tax basis of the JV LLC’s assets and (y) determining the character of each Seller’s gain or loss, as the case may be, for Tax purposes in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby. Sellers and the JV LLC shall timely and properly prepare, execute, file and deliver all such documents, forms and other information necessary for Buyer to complete the Tax Allocation. Buyer shall deliver such Tax Allocation to the Sellers within sixty (60) days after the final Purchase Price has been determined. If Sellers object to any item reflected on such Tax Allocation, Sellers shall provide notice of such objection to Buyer within fifteen (15) days of receiving such Tax Allocation, and Sellers and Buyer

66

shall attempt in good faith to reach agreement on a revised Tax Allocation within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s receipt of such notice of objection. If Sellers and Buyer are unable to reach agreement on such a revised Tax Allocation, the matters in dispute shall be submitted to, and decided by, the Arbitrating Accountant under procedures similar to those set forth in Section 2.10(c). The JV LLC, each Seller and Buyer agree to be bound by the Tax Allocation as finally determined and act in accordance therewith in the preparation, filing and audit of any Tax Return (including by attaching the statement required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.743-1(k)(1) to the JV LLC’s U.S. federal income Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date, which statement shall set forth the computation of the Tax basis adjustment and the allocation thereof in accordance with the Tax Allocation) and to not take any position that is inconsistent with the Tax Allocation unless otherwise required by Law.

10.8 Tax Refunds. Any Tax refunds (including any interest in respect thereof) that are received by JV LLC, any Company or their Affiliates after the Closing Date, and any overpayment of Taxes actually credited against Taxes (including any interest in respect thereof) to which JV LLC, any Company or their Affiliates become entitled after the Closing Date, which relate solely to the Employee Retention Credit relating to wages paid by any member of the Company Group prior to the Closing Date shall be for the account of Sellers. JV LLC shall pay over, or cause the applicable member of the Company Group to pay over, to the Sellers any such refund or amount of such credit relating to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date (net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by the JV LLC, any Company or their Affiliates in obtaining such refund or credit) within thirty (30) days of receipt of such refund (or the due date (without the extensions) of the Tax Return reporting such credit against Tax).

ARTICLE XI.

LIMITED SURVIVAL OF CLAIMS; WAIVER; INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Limited Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants; Waiver. All representations and warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing Date and expire on the date that is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date except that Section 5.2 and Section 5.9 shall survive indefinitely. None of the representations or warranties made by the Companies, Parent or the Sellers contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, and no liability or Claim therefor, shall survive the Closing (other than liability or Claims made solely against the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy or in respect of Fraud as described in, and pursuant to, this Article XI). None of the covenants or other agreements of the Companies, Parent, or the Sellers contained in this Agreement that are required to be performed on or prior to the Closing, and no liability or Claim therefor, shall survive the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing (and for the avoidance of doubt, shall survive until such date), except that the covenants and agreements set forth in (x) Section 2.10 shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms for such period as shall be required for such parties to complete the performance required thereby and (y) Article X shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. None of the other covenants or other agreements of the Companies, Parent, Sellers or Buyer contained in this Agreement, and no liability or Claim therefor, shall survive the Closing other than those that by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date, and each such covenant or agreement shall survive the Closing in accordance with its respective terms only for such period as shall be required for such parties to complete the performance required thereby. The period of time a covenant, agreement, representation or warranty or other item survives the Closing pursuant to this Article XI shall be the “Survival Period” with respect to such item. It is the express intent of the parties that, if the applicable Survival Period for an item as contemplated by this Article XI is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shorter Survival Period contemplated hereby. The parties agree that so long as written notice is properly given to the Indemnifying Party on or prior to the expiration of the

67

Survival Period with respect to any Claim pursuant to this Article XI (including notice sent with respect to a Fraud claim while first pursuing such claim against the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy), such Claim shall continue to survive until such Claim is finally resolved; provided, however, if the party bringing such Claim has not filed a Proceeding against the Indemnifying Party to enforce its rights with respect to such Claim by the date that is twelve (12) months following the expiration of the Survival Period applicable to such Claim, then such Claim and the rights underlying such Claim shall terminate, unless the parties are engaged in good faith discussions to negotiate or settle such Claim, in which case such period shall be extended for the duration of such discussions and for a period of six (6) months after such discussions cease. In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, except (i) for covenants or agreements that by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date (including in Sections 2.10 and 7.4(a)(iii) and Article X), (ii) as provided in this Article XI (including with respect to Buyer’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2), and (iii) in respect of claims for Fraud brought pursuant to and in accordance with this Article XI, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company Group), successors and permitted assigns, waives, from and after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights and Claims for Losses or other costs, expenses, judgments, fines, claims, damages and assessments it may have against the Sellers arising under, relating to or based upon (directly or indirectly) this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, the subject matter of this Agreement, any Exhibits, Annexes or Disclosure Schedule hereto or thereto, or any certificate entered into, made, delivered, or made available in connection herewith, regardless of the legal theory under which any liability, remedy or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), common law, strict liability, statute or otherwise, whether at law or in equity, or otherwise. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company Group), successors and permitted assigns, acknowledges and covenants and agrees that the limitation on and waivers of liability in this Article XI may not be avoided or restricted, and covenants and agrees not to attempt to avoid or restrict such waiver. BUYER, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS AFFILIATES (INCLUDING, FOLLOWING THE CLOSING, THE COMPANY GROUP), SUCCESSORS AND PERMITTED ASSIGNS, EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AFFORDED BY ANY STATUTE THAT LIMITS THE EFFECT OF A RELEASE WITH RESPECT TO UNKNOWN CLAIMS. BUYER UNDERSTANDS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS AND WAIVER OF STATUTORY PROTECTION AGAINST A RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL AND MATERIAL TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER FURTHER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO CLAIM OR SEEK RESCISSION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR HEREBY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) this Section 11.1 shall not interfere with or impede the operation of Sections 2.10 and 7.4(a)(iii), Article X or Article XI, or any other covenants that by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date, (ii) this Section 11.1 shall not limit the ability of any party to seek specific performance in accordance with Section 12.4, and (iii) Buyer shall have the right to maintain or recover its Losses in connection with any action or Claim, to the extent based upon Fraud (solely if such action or Claim is brought within the thirty-six (36) month period following the Closing Date; provided, that the maximum aggregate obligation of any Seller with respect to any such action or Claim based upon Fraud shall not exceed the Purchase Price, and provided further that any such Claim based upon Fraud must first be diligently pursued by Buyer with reasonable best efforts against the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy and the Sellers or Parent shall only be liable for Losses arising out of such Fraud to the extent in excess of amounts actually recovered by Buyer against such Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy in connection with the applicable Claim (and Sellers or Parent shall be reimbursed from any subsequent recoveries from the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy in connection with the applicable Claim in accordance with Section 11.5), and provided further, that any such right to pursue any action or claim based upon Fraud shall be subject to the disclaimers and acknowledgments of non-reliance contained in the definition of Fraud and Section 3.27 and Section 5.9 of this Agreement) or as otherwise set forth in Article XI.

68

11.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article XI, from and after the Closing, Parent and the Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company Group) (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses (to the extent and on the terms set forth therein) incurred or suffered by any Buyer Indemnitee to the extent arising from:

(i) any breach on or prior to the Closing of any covenants or agreements that are required to be performed by Parent, the Sellers or the Companies on or prior to the Closing; or

(ii) any of the matters set forth on Section 11.2(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; or

(iii) any of the matters set forth on Section 11.2(a)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Sellers and Parent shall have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees for any Losses unless and until, and only to the extent that, the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnitees exceeds with respect to claims under Section 11.2(a)(iii), the applicable dollar amount set forth on Section 11.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(c) The aggregate liability of Sellers and Parent in respect of claims for indemnification with respect to claims under item 1 of Section 11.2(a)(ii) and Section 11.2(a)(iii) shall not exceed the applicable dollar amounts set forth on Section 11.2(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(d) In each case, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the amount that Parent and the Sellers shall be required to pay to the Buyer Indemnitees (other than any member of the Company Group) under this Article XI in respect of any Losses incurred by the Company Group and indirectly borne by, but paid directly by Parent and the Sellers to, any such Buyer Indemnitee shall be equal to the product of such Losses and the Buyer Equity Percentage; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the amount that Parent and the Sellers shall be required to pay to the Buyer Indemnitees (other than any member of the Company Group) under this Section 11.2 in respect of any Losses incurred by and directly borne by any such Buyer Indemnitee shall be equal to the entire amount of such Losses, (ii) any payment in respect of Losses incurred by the Company Group and paid directly to the Company Group shall be equal to the entire amount of such Losses and (iii) the foregoing is not intended to, and shall not, provide for duplicate recovery for the same Loss.

11.3 Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims. Claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall only be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) If any Buyer Indemnitee seeks indemnification under this Article XI (an “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any Proceeding or other claim brought against it by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after receiving written notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that any failure to so notify or any delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure or delay. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices, documents, court papers, pleadings, and other materials received by the Indemnifying Party from the third party relating to the substantive allegations of the Third Party Claim. With respect to any Third Party Claim that, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnification

69

pursuant to this Article XI, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, (i) to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim giving rise to the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification or (ii) at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below), to assume control of such defense and appoint lead counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that as a condition precedent to the Indemnifying Party’s right to assume control of such defense, it must first: (A) notify the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Losses (without any limitations) the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the limitations set forth in Sections 11.1 and 11.2) and (B) furnish the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party has sufficient resources to defend such Third Party Claim and to satisfy its obligations to the Indemnified Party under this Article XI in respect of such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume or continue control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if such Third Party Claim (I) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations or regulatory matters or (II) involves or otherwise relates to the items set forth on Section 11.2(a)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (each of the foregoing, an “Exception Claim”).

(b) In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party does not or fails to elect to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in the manner set forth in Section 11.3(a) or (ii) such Third Party Claim is, or at any time becomes, an Exception Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, except with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), use its commercially reasonable efforts to vigorously defend against such Third Party Claim, as if, for such purposes, such Third Party Claims were not subject to indemnification hereunder by the Indemnifying Party. At any time when a Third Party Claim is pending and the defense of such Third Party Claim is being controlled by the Indemnified Party (including in the case of any Exception Claims), the Indemnified Party shall (A) use reasonable best efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the material developments with respect to such Third Party Claim, (B) upon the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable request, reasonably inform the Indemnifying Party of the status and other material details of such Third Party Claim, (C) allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives to, at their sole cost and expense, reasonably participate in any Proceedings, including any investigation, defense, pretrial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge or any other meetings related thereto, and (D) use reasonable best efforts to consult with the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives regarding any major decisions related to such Third Party Claim, including the settlement thereof, and consider any such consultations in good faith; provided that, if such Third Party Claim relates to a Program Denial, the foregoing clauses (A) and (D) shall apply only to such Third Party Claim if the aggregate amount of the claims subject to the relevant audit, appeal or probe exceeds $350,000 (including any extrapolation with respect thereto). Under no circumstances will the Indemnifying Party have any liability in connection with any settlement of any Proceeding that is entered into without its prior written consent, provided that such consent was not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, further, that this sentence shall not apply to the settlement of any Third Party Claim relating to a Program Denial if (i) the aggregate amount of the claims subject to the relevant audit, appeal or probe is $350,000 or less (including any extrapolation with respect thereto), and (ii) the aggregate amount of Losses pursuant to all Third Party Claims settled without the consent of the Indemnifying Party is $3,500,000 or less.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 11.3(a), Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof, and the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, that if under applicable standards of professional conduct a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Claim, then the

70

Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, or cease to defend, such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) Irrespective of which party controls the defense of any Third Party Claim, the other parties will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate in good faith with the controlling party in such defense and make available to the controlling party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such non-controlling parties’ possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the controlling party. The parties agree that all communications between any party and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

11.4 Notice of Non-Third Party Claims. If an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Article XI with respect to any matter which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such claim for indemnification describing the claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate an estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to the claim. During such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives to investigate the matter or circumstances alleged to give rise to the claim and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation (including providing access to premises, personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives may reasonably request, subject to and in accordance with Section 7.3. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the indemnity notice that the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have disputed the entirety of any Losses described in the indemnity notice. If the Indemnifying Party has delivered a written notice to the Indemnified Party within such thirty (30)-day period disputing such claim (or otherwise has not expressly accepted liability for such claim in writing), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution to such dispute. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after delivery of such written notice, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 12.15.

11.5 Payment of Damages; Calculation of Damages; Other Indemnification Limitations. For the purposes of calculating Losses or other damages to which a Buyer Indemnitee is entitled arising out of or relating to this Agreement, such Losses or damages shall exclude any punitive or exemplary damages (unless first awarded to a third party). The amount of any Losses or other damages subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI shall be reduced or reimbursed, as the case may be, by any amount actually received by any Buyer Indemnitee with respect thereto under any insurance coverage (including the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) provided by any third party or from any other party alleged to be responsible therefor (net of any deductible or co-payment and all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs related to such recovery). The Buyer Indemnitee shall use reasonable best efforts to collect any amounts available under such insurance coverage or from such other party alleged to have responsibility therefor; provided, that in no event shall the Buyer Indemnitee have any obligation to commence any Proceeding to collect any such amounts. If a Buyer Indemnitee receives and is entitled to retain an amount under insurance coverage or from such other party with respect to Losses or other damages at any time subsequent to any indemnification or other reimbursement provided by Parent or the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, then such Buyer Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse Parent and the Sellers for any payment made or expense incurred by such Person in connection with providing such

71

indemnification up to the amount received (net of any deductible or co-payment and all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs related to such recovery) by the Buyer Indemnitee; provided, that in no event shall any Buyer Indemnitee have any obligation hereunder to remit to Parent and the Sellers any portion of such insurance or other recoveries in excess of the payment or payments actually received from Parent and the Sellers with respect to such Losses or other damages.

11.6 Exclusive Remedy. The parties agree that, from and after the Closing Date, the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7.4(a)(iii) and this Article XI are the exclusive provisions in this Agreement with respect to the liability of Parent and the Sellers (other than the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including for the breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any representation or warranty or any covenants, agreements or other obligations contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection herewith, and the sole remedy of the Buyer Indemnitees arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including for any claims for breach of any representation or warranty or covenants, agreements or other obligations arising out of this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection herewith or any Law or legal theory applicable hereto or thereto; provided, that nothing herein shall preclude any party from (i) seeking any remedy based upon Fraud pursuant to and in accordance with this Article XI or (ii) enforcing any of its rights and remedies (at law or at equity) in respect of Section 2.10, Article X or any other post-Closing covenants, agreements or other post-Closing obligations.

11.7 Tax Characterization of Indemnity Payment. Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article XI shall be treated by Buyer and Sellers as an adjustment to Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required under applicable Law, and neither Buyer nor Sellers shall take an inconsistent position for Tax purposes.

11.8 Manner of Payment. Any indemnification of the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to this Article XI shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the applicable Persons to an account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer within five (5) Business Days after the determination thereof. To the extent Parent or the Sellers have an indemnification obligation pursuant to this Article XI that remains unpaid more than thirty (30) days after such obligation becomes finally due and payable and ten (10) days following notice of intention to so set off such payments has been made by Buyer to Sellers, any of the Buyer Indemnitees may set off the amount of such indemnification against (i) any amounts then due and unpaid to any Seller by any of the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Operating Agreement) or (ii) against any distribution of cash with respect to the equity interests of Seller in JV LLC or against any other cash payment owing from Buyer or any of its Affiliates to any of the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates under the Operating Agreement, including under sections 12.9 (Required Transfer Upon Breach), 12.10 (Seller Holdco Put Rights), 12.11 (Managing Member Call Rights) or 12.14 (Drag-Along Rights) of the Operating Agreement, in each case in accordance with and as provided by section 17.29 (Right to Offset) of the Operating Agreement.

11.9 Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy.

(a) Buyer and the Sellers acknowledge that Buyer is obtaining the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy for purposes of certain coverage of Losses related this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of Buyer or its Affiliates (including, following Closing, the Company Group) to make claims against the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy. For purposes of clarity, as between Buyer or its Affiliates (including, following Closing, the Company Group), on the one hand, and the insurer under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, on the other hand, none of the terms, limitations, conditions and restrictions on claims set forth in this Article XI or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the rights of Buyer and its Affiliates (including, following Closing, the Company Group) under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, which rights shall be governed solely thereby.

72

(b) As between the Sellers and Buyer, and subject to the other provisions of this Article XI, Buyer bears all risk of (i) the insurer’s insolvency or its breach of the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, (ii) the failure of Buyer or its Affiliates to file notices of claims that are timely and sufficient under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, or (iii) the insurer’s failure to make any payments to Buyer or its Affiliates under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy or other denial of coverage for any reason.

ARTICLE XII.

74

12.5 Consents. Buyer acknowledges that certain consents, approvals or waivers to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to contracts, leases, licenses or other agreements to which a member of the Company Group is a party (including the contracts set forth on Sections 3.5 and 3.6 of the Company Disclosure Schedule) and such consents, approvals or waivers have not, or may not as of the Closing, been obtained. With respect to any contracts, leases, licenses or other agreements for which any consent, approval or waiver is required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and such consent, approval or waiver has not been obtained prior to the Closing, for a period of twelve (12) months following Closing, (i) Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent, approval or waiver after the Closing until either such consent, approval or waiver has been obtained or Sellers and Buyer determine, in good faith, that such consent, approval or waiver cannot reasonably be obtained and (ii) in such case, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with the same benefits arising under such contract, lease, license or other agreement, including performance by Sellers (through Buyer as agent if legally and commercially feasible), in each case, at the sole cost and expense of Buyer (or, following the Closing, the JV LLC). Buyer agrees and acknowledges that the Sellers will have no liability whatsoever to Buyer (and Buyer will not be entitled to assert any Claims) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents, approvals or waivers that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer further agrees that no representation, warranty or covenant of the Companies or the Sellers contained herein will be breached or deemed breached and no condition of Buyer will be deemed not to be satisfied as a result of the failure to obtain any consent, approval or waiver.

12.6 Interpretation.

(a) The term “this Agreement” means this Securities Purchase Agreement together with all Schedules and Exhibits hereto. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, subsections or exhibits, such reference shall be to a Section or subsection of or exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “include,” “includes” and “including,” when used herein, shall be deemed, in each case, to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The word “herein” and similar references mean, except where a specific Section or Article reference is expressly indicated, the entire Agreement rather than any specific Section or Article. The phrases “ordinary course,” “ordinary course of business” and “ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice” and similar phrases, when used with respect to the Sellers or the Company Group, mean the ordinary course of business of the Company Group consistent with past practice; provided that any reasonable and appropriate action taken by the Company Group (including the establishment of any policy, procedure or protocol) in response to COVID-19 shall be deemed to be in the ordinary course of business. The table of contents and the headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Any document or item will be deemed “delivered,” “provided” or “made available” within the meaning of this Agreement if such document or item is (i) included in the electronic data room or (ii) actually (including electronically) delivered or provided to Buyer or any of Buyer’s Representatives. An item arising with respect to a specific representation or warranty shall be deemed to be “reflected on” or “set forth in” a balance sheet or financial statements, to the extent any such phrase appears in such representation or warranty, if (A) there is a specific reserve, accrual or other similar item underlying a number on such balance sheet or financial statements that relates to the subject matter of such representation, (B) such item is otherwise set forth on the balance sheet or financial statements, or (C) such item is specifically reflected on the balance sheet or financial statements and is set forth in the notes thereto.

75

(b) The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.

12.7 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, (a) such term or provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

12.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including all Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules hereto and thereto) and other documents and instruments delivered in connection herewith constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior representations, agreements, understandings and undertakings, whether written or oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and no party is relying on any other prior oral or written representations, agreements, understandings or undertakings with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Section 12.8 shall be deemed a “merger” clause under the Laws of the State of Delaware, and this Agreement (together with the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement) is intended as a complete integration of the agreement of the parties. The parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

12.9 Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned without the prior written consent of each of the parties hereto, or after Closing without the prior written consent of Buyer and the Sellers; provided, that Buyer, without the prior consent of the Sellers and the Companies, may assign any of its rights hereunder or delegate any of its duties hereunder to Buyer’s Affiliates, but in such event, Buyer shall be required to remain obligated hereunder in the same manner as if such assignment or delegation had not been effected. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

12.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 7.1, and Section 12.11 and Section 12.13, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any right, benefit or remedy under or by reason of this Agreement.

12.11 Non-Assertion of Attorney-Client Privilege; Access to Communications; and Waiver of Conflicts.

(a) Buyer, for itself and its Affiliates (including the Company Group after the Closing) and their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledges and agrees that all documents and communications subject to the attorney-client privilege, work-product doctrine, or any other applicable privilege or protection between the Company Group, the Sellers, their respective officers, employees, Affiliates, and/or Bass, Berry & Sims, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery or closing under this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (“Protected Communications”), shall continue after the Closing to be privileged documents and communications with such counsel and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Buyer or any of its Affiliates, shall access the same. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that all rights to such Protected

76

Communications and control of the applicable privileges and protections over the same shall be retained by the Sellers and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, the Company Group (following the Closing). In the event that a dispute or investigation or audit arises after the Closing between Buyer or the Company Group, on the one hand, and a third party, on the other hand, Buyer and the Company Group shall notify the Sellers if such third party seeks disclosure of Protected Communications that the Sellers have retained as described in this Section 12.11, and the Buyer or Company Group or their designee, on behalf of the holders of any such attorney-client privilege, will have the right and opportunity to either assert any applicable privilege or protection, or assert any applicable privilege or protection, or to waive such privilege or protection; provided, that none of Buyer or any member of the Company Group may waive such privilege or protection without the prior written consent of Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Furthermore, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company Group after the Closing) shall not be permitted access to any attorney work product of, or client confidences with, Bass, Berry & Sims, which attorney work product and confidences shall be retained solely by the Sellers after the Closing. Buyer further understands and agrees that any prior or future access to or disclosure of information to Buyer (or the Company Group after the Closing) that may be confidential and/or subject to a claim of privilege or protection as described above will not prejudice or otherwise constitute a waiver of any claim of privilege or protection. Buyer agrees to return promptly any such accessed or disclosed information to the Sellers upon becoming aware of its existence or disclosure. Buyer (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, including the Company Group, after the Closing) further agrees not to access in connection with any dispute or Proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, any Protected Communications, work product or documentation between the Sellers or any Protected Communications, work product or documentation between Bass, Berry & Sims, on the one hand, and the Company Group or any Seller, on the other hand.

(b) Recognizing that Bass, Berry & Sims have acted as legal counsel to the Company Group, the Sellers and certain of their respective Affiliates prior to date hereof, and that Bass, Berry & Sims intend to act as legal counsel to the Sellers and their Affiliates (which will no longer include the Company Group) after the Closing in matters related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the representation of such Persons in matters related to Section 2.10 and to post-Closing claims made by Buyer and any other parties under this Agreement and other claims that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement, Buyer (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby waives and agrees to not assert, and agrees to cause the Company Group to waive and not assert, any actual or potential conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing Date, of the Sellers and their affiliates involving the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (each, a “Post-Closing Representation”) by Bass, Berry & Sims; provided, however, Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the scope of any Post-Closing Representation by Bass, Berry & Sims, and the scope of any corresponding waiver by Buyer, shall not include the representation of Sellers in a dispute or litigation against Buyer or the Company Group. Buyer further disclaims, waives and agrees to not assert, and agrees to cause the Company Group to waive and not assert, in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, any privilege or protection with respect to any Protected Communications (it being the intention of the parties hereto that all rights to such attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection, or other applicable privilege or protection, including the right to control the same, shall be held by the Sellers).

(c) Each of Buyer and the Sellers hereby acknowledges and confirms that it has had the opportunity to review and obtain adequate information regarding the significance and risks of the waivers and other terms and conditions of this Section 12.11, including the opportunity to discuss with counsel such matters and reasonable alternatives to such terms. This Section 12.11 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 12.11 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of the Sellers and Bass, Berry & Sims affected thereby. The covenants and obligations set forth in this Section 12.11 shall survive for ten (10) years following the Closing Date.

77

12.12 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other (or further) exercise thereof or of any other right. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy expressly conferred hereby, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

12.13 Non-Recourse. Except to the extent otherwise set forth in any Transaction Document, or as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal Proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or as otherwise expressly provided herein, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any party hereto or of any Affiliate of any party hereto, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement, shall limit any rights, remedies or Claims with respect to Fraud brought in accordance with and pursuant to Article XI.

12.14 Fees and Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated.

12.15 Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement and any suit, action or Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Law of the State of Delaware without regard to any conflicts of law principles that would require the application of any other Law. Each party agrees to personal jurisdiction in any action brought in any court, federal or state, within the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction over the matters arising under this Agreement. Any suit, action or Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall only be instituted in the State of Delaware and in Delaware Chancery Court, with any suit, action or Proceeding to be brought in another Delaware state court should the Court of Chancery lack jurisdiction, and in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware if all Delaware state courts lack jurisdiction. Each party waives any objection that it may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue of such action or Proceeding and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or Proceeding.

12.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

12.17 Conflict Between Transaction Documents. To the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby, this Agreement will govern and control.

78

12.18 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. If the date specified for giving any notice or taking any action is not a Business Day (or if the period during which any notice is required to be given or any action taken expires on a date that is not a Business Day), then the date for giving such notice or taking such action (and the expiration date of such period during which notice is required to be given or action taken) shall be the next date that is a Business Day.

12.19 Company Disclosure Schedule. No reference to or disclosure of any information in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be construed as an admission or indication that such information is material or that such information is required to be referred to or disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule nor shall such information be deemed to establish a level or standard of materiality for purposes of this Agreement. The Company Disclosure Schedule is arranged in sections corresponding to the sections contained in this Agreement merely for convenience, and the disclosures made in any single disclosure schedule shall be incorporated by this reference in each of the other disclosure schedules attached to this Agreement, and shall be deemed to modify the other Sections set forth in this Agreement, in each case to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such incorporated disclosure relates to the subject matter of the disclosure schedule into which it is being incorporated or the Section it is being deemed to modify pursuant to this sentence. Accordingly, and subject to the foregoing sentence, any indicated response of “None” as to any single disclosure schedule shall not in any way limit or qualify the effect of the foregoing sentence.

12.20 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission in portable document format (.pdf)), which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

12.21 Buyer Guaranty.

(a) Buyer Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (the “Guaranty”) to and for the benefit of the Sellers, Parent and their respective Affiliates (the “Guaranteed Parties”) the full, timely and faithful performance and payment by Buyer of each of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (the “Guaranteed Obligations”), including, without limitation, the performance by Buyer of its obligations under Section 2.1 and the payment of Buyer’s obligations set forth in Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 and the timely satisfaction and performance of all of Buyer’s covenants, agreements and obligations contained in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents; provided that, following the Closing, Buyer Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 12.21 shall only apply with respect to Buyer’s payment obligations set forth in Section 2.10.

(b) The Guaranty constitutes a guarantee of payment and performance, and not merely of collection, whether or not recovery may be, or hereafter may become, barred by any statute of limitation or otherwise, and is not conditional or contingent upon any event, contingency or circumstance except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and may be enforced directly against Buyer Guarantor as a primary obligation of Buyer Guarantor. The Guaranteed Obligations will not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Buyer Guarantor or by any defense that Buyer Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such Proceeding. The Guaranteed Parties shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Guaranteed Obligations in the event that Buyer becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceeding, and the failure of any Guaranteed Party to so file shall not affect the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder. Buyer Guarantor hereby expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally waives any defenses that would otherwise operate to impair or diminish Buyer Guarantor’s liability under or in connection with the Guaranty, including arising by reason of promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this guarantee and of the Guaranteed Obligations,

79

presentment, demand for payment or performance, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of the Guaranteed Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium Law or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Buyer, and all suretyship defenses generally, in each case, except for any defense that could be asserted by Buyer with respect to the applicable claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, unless such defense has been raised by Buyer with respect to the applicable claim and rejected by a court in a final and non-appealable judgment.

(c) Buyer Guarantor understands and agrees that the Guaranty is and shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance without regard to any circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Buyer or Buyer Guarantor) that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations in bankruptcy or in any other instance, in each case other than payment or performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations or any defense that could be asserted by Buyer with respect to the applicable claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, unless such defense has been raised by Buyer with respect to the applicable claim and rejected by a court in a final and non-appealable judgment.

(d) Buyer and Buyer Guarantor, jointly and severally, represent and warrant as follows:

(i) Buyer Guarantor has all necessary limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery by Buyer Guarantor of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Buyer Guarantor, and no other limited liability company or similar proceeding on the part of Buyer Guarantor or the board of directions or manager(s) (as the case may be) or equityholders of Buyer Guarantor is necessary to authorize this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Buyer Guarantor and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by Parent and Sellers, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles (whether considered in a Proceeding in equity or at law).

(ii) The execution and delivery by Buyer of this Agreement do not, and the performance of this Agreement by Buyer shall not conflict with or violate the organizational documents of Buyer Guarantor, conflict with or violate in any respect any Law or Order applicable to Buyer Guarantor or by which any of its properties, rights or assets is bound or affected, or conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or require a consent or notice under, or constitute a default (or an event that with or without notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under any material contract to which Buyer Guarantor is a party, or by which Buyer Guarantor or its properties, rights or assets is or are bound or affected. Buyer Guarantor has the financial capacity to pay and perform all of its obligations under the Guaranty, and all funds necessary for Buyer Guarantor to fulfill the Guaranteed Obligations are and shall be available to Buyer Guarantor.
