Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 5, 2024, NCR Voyix Corporation (“NCR Voyix” or the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Dragon Buyer, Inc. (“Buyer”), an affiliate of The Veritas Capital Fund VIII, L.P. (“Veritas”), pursuant to which Buyer agreed to purchase the Company’s digital banking business (the “Digital Banking Business”).

The purchase price for the transaction is $2.45 billion in cash, subject to a customary post-closing purchase price adjustment, as well as contingent consideration of up to an additional $100 million in cash upon the achievement of a specified return on Veritas’ and its affiliates’ invested capital at the time of any future sale.

The transaction is structured as a purchase by Buyer of all of the equity interests of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Digital First Holdings LLC (“Digital First”) and each subsidiary of Digital First following certain pre-closing restructuring actions.

The completion of the Transaction will be subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the absence of any law or order that would prohibit the consummation of the Transaction, and will be expected to close by the end of 2024.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by each party that are subject, in some cases, to specified exceptions and qualifications contained in the Purchase Agreement, including post-closing non-competition and employee non-solicitation provisions.

Until the consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Digital Banking Business to be conducted in the ordinary course consistent with past practice. In addition, the parties are required to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transaction as promptly as practicable. The Purchase Agreement also contains certain limited indemnification provisions.

The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights customary for a transaction of this type, including if the closing has not occurred by February 1, 2025, and provides that upon termination of the Purchase Agreement under specified circumstances, Buyer will be required to pay the Company a reverse termination fee in cash.

The obligation of Buyer to consummate the transaction is not conditioned on receipt of financing. However, Buyer is not required to consummate the transaction until after the completion of a “Marketing Period” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Buyer has obtained firm commitments for debt and equity financing for the full amount of the purchase price.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

For a discussion of certain risks relating to the transaction, see “Part II—Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024.

In connection with Buyer’s review of the Closing Purchase Price Statement, Parent shall provide Buyer and its Representatives with reasonable access to relevant information and personnel of the Companies and Parent upon request and shall consider Buyer’s comments in good faith; provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer’s provision of comments to the Closing Purchase Price Statement, or Parent’s consideration of the same, delay the Closing.

Section 2.7 Adjustment to Purchase Price.

(a) The Base Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased as set forth in Section 2.7(e). Any increase or decrease in the Closing Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be referred to as a “Purchase Price Adjustment”.

(b) No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation, determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles, of (i) Net Working Capital, (ii) Closing Indebtedness, (iii) Transaction Expenses, (iv) Closing Cash, and (v) the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price (such calculation the “Preliminary Purchase Price Amount”), together with reasonable supporting detail and documentation. During the Review Period, Buyer will (A) permit, and will cause each Company to permit, Parent and its advisors and representatives reasonable access to the books, records, properties, premises, work papers, personnel and other information of the Business that are reasonably necessary to permit Parent and its advisors to review the Post-Closing Statement or to address any dispute described in this Section 2.7 and (B)

-24-

reasonably cooperate, and will cause each Company to reasonably cooperate, with Parent and its advisors and representatives in connection with such review; provided, that (1) such access and cooperation shall be provided (x) upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the Business and (y) subject to entry by Parent and its advisors and representatives into customary confidentiality and access letters if reasonably requested, and (2) neither Buyer nor any Company shall be required to provide or cause to be provided access to, or disclose or cause to be disclosed, information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize attorney-client, work product or other privilege, contravene any Law, or contravene any confidentiality undertaking (provided, however, that Buyer shall, and shall cause the Companies to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide alternative, redacted or substitute documents or information in a manner that would not result in the loss of the ability to assert attorney client, work product or other privileges, violate any Law or such applicable agreement). The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing and calculating the Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, and Closing Indebtedness hereunder is to measure changes in Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, and Closing Indebtedness without the introduction of new or different accounting methods, policies, practices, procedures, classifications, judgments or estimation methodologies from the Accounting Principles. The Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Net Working Capital and Closing Cash contained therein shall entirely disregard (x) any and all effects on the assets or Liabilities of the Business as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Buyer or any other transaction entered into by Buyer in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) any of the plans, transactions or changes that Buyer intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Business, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Buyer or any of its assets or Liabilities.

(c) Parent shall, within forty-five (45) days following its receipt of the Post-Closing Statement (such forty-five (45) day period being referred to herein as the “Review Period”), accept or reject the Post-Closing Statement submitted by Buyer. If Parent disagrees with the Post-Closing Statement or any calculation thereon, then Parent shall give a written notice to Buyer of all such disputes and Parent’s reason therefor within the Review Period (the “Dispute Notice”), and Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts set forth in the Post-Closing Statement which are not specifically disputed in the Dispute Notice, and such items and amounts shall not be subject to review in accordance with this Section 2.7, and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be deemed to be included in the Final Closing Statement for purposes of Section 2.7(d). In the event Parent timely delivers a Dispute Notice, Buyer and Parent shall attempt in good faith to reconcile their differences with respect to the disputed amounts set forth therein, and any resolution in writing by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be deemed to be included in the Final Closing Statement for purposes of Section 2.7(d). If Parent and Buyer are unable to reach a written resolution with respect to all such disputed amounts within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Buyer of the Dispute Notice, either Parent or Buyer may submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to a nationally recognized accounting or consulting firm with significant experience in resolving purchase price disputes mutually agreed upon by Parent and Buyer, which firm shall not have any material relationship with Buyer or Parent or any of their respective Affiliates (such identified or selected firm, the “Independent Accountant”). The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert, and not an arbitrator, and the Parties shall direct the Independent Accountant to use commercially

-25-

reasonable efforts to issue its report as to such matters remaining in dispute (and only such matters) and the determination of the Purchase Price Adjustment within thirty (30) days after such dispute is referred to the Independent Accountant. The Parties are prohibited from engaging in or having any ex-parte communications with the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall not have (i) the authority to make any determination based on an independent review and shall instead be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) the power to modify or amend any term or provision of this Agreement. The Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Parent or Buyer or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Parent or Buyer, in each case, as set forth in the Dispute Notice or the Post-Closing Statement, as applicable. Buyer, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by them in connection with such arbitration, except that the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant hereunder shall be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Independent Accountant that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Independent Accountant) bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted. This provision shall be specifically enforceable by the Parties and (absent manifest error) the decision of the Independent Accountant in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be final and binding on the Parties with respect to the matters so arbitrated and there shall be no right of appeal therefrom.

(d) The Post-Closing Statement shall be deemed final (the “Final Closing Statement”) upon the earliest of (i) Parent not delivering a Dispute Notice prior to the expiration of the Review Period, (ii) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.7(c), by Parent and Buyer and (iii) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.7(c), by the Independent Accountant, and (A) the Net Working Capital set forth on such Final Closing Statement will be deemed the final Net Working Capital, (B) the Closing Indebtedness set forth on such Final Closing Statement will be deemed the final Closing Indebtedness, (C) the Transaction Expenses set forth on such Final Closing Statement will be deemed the final Transaction Expenses, (D) the Closing Cash set forth on such Final Closing Statement will be deemed the final Closing Cash, and (E) the Purchase Price set forth on such Final Closing Statement will be deemed the final Purchase Price (the “Final Purchase Price”).

(e) If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Closing Purchase Price (such excess, the “Final Overage”), Buyer will pay, or cause to be paid, to Holdings, within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the Final Overage and the Final Closing Statement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Final Overage.

(f) If the Closing Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price (such excess, the “Final Underage”), Parent will pay, or cause to be paid, to Buyer, within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the Final Overage and the Final Closing Statement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Final Underage.

Section 2.8 Purchase Price Allocation. Within sixty (60) days after the Purchase Price shall have been deemed to be the Final Purchase Price, Buyer shall deliver to Parent a schedule that reasonably allocates the Total Consideration (together with any assumed Liabilities and any other items required to be taken into account as purchase consideration for U.S. federal income

-26-

Tax purposes) among the assets of Digital First (and the assets of any other Company that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes if Parent is treated as the regarded owner of such Company for such purposes) (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule will be prepared in a manner consistent with Schedule 2.8 and in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Parent shall have a period of twenty (20) days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule (the “Response Period”) to present in writing to Buyer notice of any objections that Parent may have to the allocation set forth therein (an “Objections Notice”). Unless Parent timely objects, such Allocation Schedule shall be binding on the Parties without further adjustment, absent manifest error. If Parent delivers an Objections Notice within the Response Period, Buyer and Parent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the Parties fail to agree within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Objections Notice, then the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant, whose determination shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Independent Accountant shall resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the item has been referred to it. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Buyer and Parent. Except as otherwise required by a final determination (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or similar provision of applicable Tax Law), (a) Buyer and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) report the national, federal, state, provincial and local income and other Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule, and (b) neither Buyer nor Parent shall (and neither party shall permit its respective Affiliates to) take a position inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule on any Tax Return. Each of Buyer and Parent shall cooperate with the other in preparing IRS Form 8594 or any equivalent statements required by any Governmental Entity charged with the collection of any income Tax for filing within a reasonable period before its filing due date. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8 to the contrary, to the extent it is necessary to allocate the Purchase Price among the Equity Interests prior to the final determination of the Allocation Schedule in connection with any documents required to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby for jurisdictions outside of the U.S., each of Buyer and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) reasonably cooperate in good faith to agree upon such allocation.

Section 2.9 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer and any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) Taxes from any amounts payable to Parent pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld by applicable Laws, and any such amounts that are so deducted and withheld shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Buyer shall remit the amounts deducted and withheld to the applicable Governmental Entity to the extent required by applicable Laws. As of the date hereof, Buyer is not aware of any obligation to so withhold from amounts payable to Parent pursuant to this Agreement assuming for this purpose that the Parent has timely delivered a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 pursuant to Section 2.5(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than withholding in connection with compensatory payments or as a result of Parent’s failure to provide the certificate described in Section 2.5(c), Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Parent with reasonable notice of any proposed deduction and withholding prior to making any deduction and withholding of any amount payable to Parent and shall consult in good faith with Parent to reduce or eliminate the amount of such deduction and withholding to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

-27-

Section 2.10 Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties intend that, for U.S. federal (and all applicable state and local) income Tax purposes, the transfer of the Equity Interests to Buyer and the payment of the Purchase Price, the issuance by Intermediate of the Intermediate Stock to Holdings and the issuance by Topco of the Class C Partnership Interests to Holdings hereunder be treated (a) as a taxable sale of a proportionate undivided interest in the assets of Digital First (and the assets of any other Company that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes if Parent is treated as the regarded owner of such Company for such purposes) by Parent to Buyer in exchange for the cash portion of the Purchase Price, (b) as a contribution by Parent to Intermediate of a proportionate undivided interest in such assets, together with a contribution of property to Intermediate by Parent, in exchange for Intermediate Stock in a transaction governed by Section 351(a) of the Code, followed immediately by a contribution by Parent to Topco of the Intermediate Stock in exchange for Class C Partnership Interests in a transaction governed by Section 721(a) of the Code (collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Except as otherwise required by a final determination (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code), neither Buyer nor Parent shall (and neither Party shall permit its respective Affiliates to) take a position on any Tax return that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment.

Each Company has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on in all material respects its business (including the Business) as conducted or operated and to own, lease, operate and use the properties and assets owned, operated, leased and used by such Company. Each Company is duly qualified or registered as a foreign business organization, as applicable, to transact business under the Laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its activities or the location of the properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification or registration, except where the failure of such qualification or registration would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.2 Capitalization. The Equity Interests constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Digital First, are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, were not issued or transferred in violation of any applicable Laws and free of preemptive rights or other similar rights and are owned of record and beneficially by Holdings, free and clear of any Liens (other than Liens arising under applicable securities laws and Liens that will be released at Closing).

(d) The Equity Commitment Letter provides that Parent is a third-party beneficiary thereof and is entitled to enforce the Equity Commitment Letter, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

(f) As of the date of this Agreement, (i) none of the Financing Commitment Letters has been amended or modified (and no such amendment or modification is contemplated except as expressly contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letters with respect to additional Debt

-51-

Financing Sources joining), and (ii) the respective commitments set forth in the Financing Commitment Letters have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect (and no such withdrawal or rescission is contemplated). As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred which would result in any breach by Buyer of, or constitute a default by Buyer under (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default), the Financing Commitment Letters in the form attached to this Agreement, or otherwise result in any portion of the Financing contemplated thereby to be unavailable or delayed (assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3). As of the date of this Agreement, and assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3, Buyer (A) is not aware of any fact or occurrence that makes any of the representations or warranties of Buyer in any of the Financing Commitment Letters inaccurate in any material respect, (B) has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy, on a timely basis, any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it or its Affiliates contained in the Financing Commitment Letters and (C) has no reason to believe that any portion of the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not be made available to Buyer on the Closing Date. Buyer has fully paid any and all commitment fees and other fees required by the Debt Commitment Letters to be paid as of the date of this Agreement.

(g) Buyer will have at the Closing when funded in accordance with the Financing Commitment Letters immediately available funds in connection with the Financing in an aggregate amount (without duplication and after netting out applicable fees, expenses, original issue discount and similar premiums and charges provided under the Debt Commitment Letters, and assuming that all rights to flex the terms of the Debt Financing are exercised to their maximum extent) that will enable Buyer to (i) satisfy all of Buyer’s Closing Date obligations under this Agreement, including Buyer’s Closing Date obligations under Article II, and (ii) pay all related fees and expenses of Buyer.

Section 5.6 Solvency. Buyer is not entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Companies or the Business. At and immediately after the Closing, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and assuming (a) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Parent set forth in Article III and Article IV and (b) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3, Buyer and the Companies will be Solvent.

In entering into this Agreement, Buyer has relied exclusively upon its own investigation and analysis and the representations and warranties contained herein, in the Ancillary Agreements and in the certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.3(c), and Buyer:

Buyer understands that the Equity Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state or foreign securities laws by reason of specified exemptions therefrom that depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of its investment intent as expressed herein and as explicitly acknowledged hereby and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state or foreign Law unless an applicable exemption from registration is available.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, complete the Pre-Closing Restructuring in accordance with Exhibit 1.1(a) at its sole expense. Parent shall (i) keep Buyer reasonably informed in respect of the actions and steps taken to complete the Pre-Closing Restructuring and consider, in good faith, any reasonable requests of Buyer with respect thereto, (ii) to the extent not executed prior to the date hereof, provide Buyer with a reasonable opportunity to review all agreements and other instruments to be executed in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring prior to their execution, delivery or implementation (which agreements and instruments shall be consistent with the Pre-Closing Restructuring and the terms and conditions of this Agreement), which shall consist of Local Transfer Agreements to the extent the transfer of any portion of the Business is in a jurisdiction where such transfer is required to be accomplished pursuant to a Local Transfer Agreement, and (iii) consider, in good faith, any reasonable requests by, and comments of, Buyer timely delivered with respect to the Pre-Closing Restructuring (including any such actions, steps, agreements and instruments).

To the extent that the provisions of a Local Transfer Agreement or any other agreements and other instruments that are executed in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring are inconsistent with, or (except to the extent they implement a transfer in accordance with this Agreement) additional to, the provisions of this Agreement (or do not fully give effect to the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the transfer of the Business): (A) the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail; and (B) so far as permissible under applicable Law of the relevant jurisdiction and so far as any such adjustment will not jeopardize or delay the Closing, Parent or any of its Affiliates and Buyer shall cause the provisions of the relevant Local Transfer Agreement or other agreement or instrument to be adjusted, to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement.

-57-

(b) In the event that, before the Closing, either Party submits a written request to the other Party to amend or modify any steps of the Pre-Closing Restructuring set forth in Exhibit 1.1(a), the other Party shall reasonably cooperate with such Party and consider in good faith such amendment or modification; provided, that Parent shall not make any such amendment or modification without the prior written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the extent such amendment or modification would adversely impact Buyer, any Company or its assets, or the Business in any material respect.

(c) If any portion of the Pre-Closing Restructuring has not been completed by the Closing (an “Incomplete Restructuring Action”) and the Incomplete Restructuring Action (i) has a detrimental effect on Buyer’s ability to make progress pursuant to an agreed Transition Services Agreement project plan or otherwise meet the Estimated Exit Date set forth on Annex A to the Transition Services Agreement or (ii) results in a cost, expense or other Liability to Buyer or the Companies that they would not otherwise have incurred if such Incomplete Restructuring Action had been completed prior to the Closing, then (A) in the case of clause (i), the term of the Transition Services Agreement with respect to the impacted Service Class (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) shall be permitted to be extended beyond twelve (12) months following the Closing without an increase to the associated fees for such Service Class solely for the same amount of time by which the Incomplete Restructuring Action was delayed following the Closing and (B) in the case of clause (ii), Parent shall be responsible for the costs, expenses and other Liabilities incurred by Buyer and the Companies that they otherwise would not have incurred if such Incomplete Restructuring Action had been completed prior to the Closing. If an Incomplete Restructuring Action has not been completed as of the Closing, Parent will (x) complete such Incomplete Restructuring Action as promptly as possible following the Closing (including the satisfaction of all conditions precedent specified in the India Transfer Agreement) and (y) provide the necessary services, or make any necessary arrangements, to ensure that Buyer receives the benefit of the assets subject to the Incomplete Restructuring Action, in each case, at Parent’s cost. For the avoidance of doubt, if the SEZ Transfer has not been completed as of the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Delayed Payment Amount to be paid to (or as designated by) Terafina Software Solutions Private Limited upon consummation of the SEZ Transfer following the Closing as consideration for the assets transferred pursuant thereto, as contemplated by the Pre-Closing Restructuring.

(d) In connection with the completion of the Pre-Closing Restructuring, Parent and Digital First will enter into the Patent and Technology License Agreement.

In the case of any Tax Return described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence, Parent shall deliver such Tax Return to Buyer at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for Buyer’s review and comment.

(d) Certain Taxes. Buyer, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for and pay fifty percent (50%) of all Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the transfer of the Equity Interests to Buyer, and Parent shall be responsible for 100% of all Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring. The Party responsible under applicable Law for filing the Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns and promptly provide a copy of such Tax Return to the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.7(d), Parent (i) shall be responsible for and shall pay all Transfer Taxes resulting from, attributable to, arising from or incurred in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring and (ii) shall, at its own expense, prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes. Buyer and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate to timely prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes. Parent shall cause its Subsidiaries to: (A) promptly provide the Companies with all invoices and documents reasonably required by the Companies; and (B) timely complete all Tax returns required to be filed with the relevant Governmental Entity, in order for the Companies to claim Tax credits in relation to any Taxes (including goods and services Taxes) paid by the Companies in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring and/or any Incomplete Restructuring Action.

Following the Closing, Buyer shall not (i) file any amended Tax Return for any Company for a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, or (ii) make, change or revoke any material Tax election or change any accounting period or method of any Company with retroactive effect to any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, (iii) extend or waive, or cause to be extended or waived, any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax of any Company for any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, or (iv) enter into (or pursue) any voluntary disclosure agreements or similar programs with any Governmental Entity that relate to Taxes or Tax Returns of any Company for any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, except as otherwise required by Law, in each case without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the extent taking such action could result in any non-de minimis Liability of Parent or any of its Affiliates for Taxes.

(f) Tax Cooperation. Buyer and Parent will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns relating to the operations of the Companies and any Action with respect to Taxes. Cooperation includes (i) the retention and (on the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to the filing of any Tax Returns and any Action and (ii) making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Agreement.

-63-

Agreement, Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to make (and Parent shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in making) an irrevocable election under Section 338(g) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state or local Tax Law) with respect to any Non-U.S. Transferred Corporation.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Buyer agrees that it shall, and it shall cause the Companies to, (i) preserve and keep the records (including all Tax and accounting records) of the Business for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing, and (ii) solely at Parent’s expense, afford Parent and its Affiliates, during normal business hours, upon reasonable request and advance notice, reasonable access to the employees, books, records and properties of each Company and their Affiliates and the Business with respect to periods or occurrences prior to or on the Closing Date, and to make copies of such books and records, in each case to the extent that (A) such access is requested for purposes of performing any obligations hereunder, in connection with Taxes or Actions or investigation related to the Companies or the Business by or before a Governmental Entity and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, other Governmental Entity reporting obligations, or other bona fide purposes, and (B) such requested access is reasonably relevant with respect to Parent’s prior ownership of the Companies and the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide access or disclose information to the extent that such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or contravene any Law provided, however, that Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide alternative, redacted or substitute documents or information in a manner that would not result in the loss of the ability to assert attorney client, work product or other privileges, violate any Law or such applicable agreement.

(b) From and after the Closing and until the date that is seven (7) years following the Closing, Parent shall, and it shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) preserve and keep the records (including all Tax and accounting records) of the Business, and (ii) solely at Buyer’s expense, afford Buyer and its Affiliates, during normal business hours, upon reasonable request and advance notice, reasonable access to the employees, books, records and properties of each Company and their Affiliates and the Business with respect to periods or occurrences prior to or on the Closing Date, and allow to make copies of such books and records, in each case to the extent that (A) such access is requested for purposes of performing any obligations hereunder, in connection with Taxes or Actions or investigation related to the Companies or the Business by or before a Governmental Entity and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, other Governmental Entity reporting obligations, or other bona fide purposes, and (B) such requested access is reasonably relevant with respect to Buyer’s ownership of the Companies and the Business following the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide access or disclose information to the extent that such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or contravene any Law provided, however, that Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide alternative, redacted or substitute documents or information in a manner that would not result in the loss of the ability to assert attorney client, work product or other privileges, violate any Law or such applicable agreement.

From the Closing and through midnight on December 31, 2024 (the “Transition Services End Time”), the Buyer and its Affiliates shall provide certain health, welfare, retirement, fringe benefits and other benefits to the Company Employees consistent with the terms of the Transition Services Agreement and in accordance with applicable Laws in any applicable jurisdiction. Immediately following the Transition Services End Time and through the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Buyer shall and shall cause its Affiliates to provide each Company Employee with health, welfare, retirement, fringe benefits and other benefits (excluding equity and other long-term incentives, change in control, transaction, retention or similar payments or benefits, and nonqualified deferred compensation, defined benefit pension and post-employment or retirement health and welfare benefits) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the health, welfare, retirement, fringe benefits and other benefits (with the same exclusions) provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any changes to the terms and conditions of employment for the Company Employees must be made in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.9(a), Buyer agrees that Buyer or one of its Affiliates will (i) assume all Liabilities to provide continuation coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 of ERISA to persons whose “qualifying event” occurs on or after the Closing Date and their “qualified beneficiaries,” with “qualifying event” and “qualified beneficiaries” defined under Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 of ERISA, (ii) assume, honor and be solely responsible for paying, providing or satisfying when due all vacation, sick pay and other paid time off for Company Employees accrued but unused as of the Closing Date, (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any preexisting condition, evidence of

(c) With respect to each Company Employee, effective after the Closing Date, Buyer or its Affiliates shall recognize, for all purposes under all plans, programs and arrangements established, maintained or contributed to (including under the Transition Services Agreement) by Buyer or its Affiliates, including the Companies, for the benefit of the Company Employees, all previous service with Parent and its Affiliates, including the Companies, prior to the Closing Date, to the extent such service was recognized under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan covering such Company Employees including, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit levels, provided, that such credit shall not be given for purposes of benefit accruals under a defined benefit pension plan (unless required under applicable Law), for purposes of post-employment welfare benefits (unless required under applicable Law), or where credit would result in duplication of benefits.

(d) Each Company Employee who is a participant in Parent’s 401(k) retirement plan (the “Parent Savings Plan”) shall cease to be an active participant under each such plan effective as of the Transition Services End Time. Effective as of no later than immediately following the Transition Services End Time, Buyer shall have in effect a defined contribution plan that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code in which the Company Employees shall be eligible to participate immediately following the Transition Services End Time.

(e) As reasonably requested by Parent, Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with and provide to Parent all information reasonably necessary in order for Parent to conduct an information and consultation process and participate in a consultation process in case that such joint participation of both parties is necessary in such consultation process under the Laws applicable in the respective jurisdictions (“TUPE Consultation”) in a timely fashion in respect of the relevant Company Employees as required pursuant to the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (“TUPE”) or any other applicable Laws in the respective jurisdiction. As promptly as practicable following the date hereof, Buyer will provide to Parent all remaining necessary information in order for Parent to initiate and complete the TUPE Consultation promptly following the date hereof.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 6.9, whether express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person not a Party hereto (including any Company Employee or any beneficiary thereof) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, any right to a particular term or condition of employment or any right to any specific compensation or benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does, constitute the establishment of, or an amendment to, any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement.

Section 6.10 Use of NCR, NCR Voyix and other Identifiers.

(a) Buyer hereby acknowledges that Parent and its Affiliates retain all rights, title, and interests in and to all of the Trademarks owned or controlled by them that are not included in the Owned Intellectual Property Rights (collectively, “Parent Group Identifiers”), including “NCR”, “NCR Voyix,” and the NCR Voyix logo (including as part of NCR Voyix) (collectively, the “NCR Marks”). For the avoidance of doubt, Parent Group Identifiers do not include any of the Trademarks listed on Schedule 3.10(a).

To the extent that any of the Companies is using any of the Parent Group Identifiers as of the Closing Date, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date (the “Transition Period”), Buyer will ensure that the Companies will, at Buyer’s own expense, cease all use of the Parent Group Identifiers in any manner other than as permitted by applicable Law, including removing or obscuring Parent Group Identifiers from any websites, social media, email communications, mobile applications, marketing collateral, packaging, and product documentation (“Content”) and any products and in conjunction with any services. Buyer will not, and will ensure that none of the Companies (following the Closing Date), will create, use or seek to register any Trademark that is substantially similar to, a derivative of, uses or is likely to cause confusion with respect to any of the Parent Group Identifiers. The Companies shall, for the Transition Period be entitled to use, solely in the same manner as used by the Companies immediately prior to Closing, and in connection with the operation of the Business as operated immediately prior to Closing, all of the pre-existing, as of the Closing Date, Content and products and services of the Companies containing or having on them the Parent Group Identifiers. Buyer and the Companies shall not create or use any new Content or any new products or services containing or having on them the Parent Group Identifiers after the Closing Date, including during the Transition Period. In addition, Buyer and the Companies shall be permitted to archive pre-existing Content that contains or has on it any Parent Group Identifiers.

(b) Parent hereby acknowledges, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (other than the Companies), that immediately upon the Closing, Buyer and the Companies shall own all rights, title and interests in and to Trademarks that are Owned Intellectual Property Rights and Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Companies) agree that they shall immediately cease all use of such Trademarks, if used, in any manner, including removing or obscuring such Trademarks from all Content as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date but in no event later than the last day of the Transition Period. Parent will not, and acknowledges that it will not, create, use or seek

-67-

to register any Trademark that is substantially similar to, a derivative of, uses or is likely to cause confusion with respect to any of the Trademarks that are Owned Intellectual Property Rights. In addition, Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Companies) shall be permitted to archive pre-existing Content that contains or has on it any Trademarks that are Owned Intellectual Property Rights.

Section 6.11 Guarantees; Commitments; Misdirected Payments and Assets; Seller Debt Facilities Releases.

(a) After the Closing, the Companies (jointly and severally, to the extent permitted under the applicable Laws in their respective jurisdictions of organization) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent and any of its Subsidiaries against any Liabilities, damages, costs or expenses that Parent or any of its Affiliates suffers, incurs or is liable for by reason of or arising out of or in consequence of: (i) Parent or any of its Subsidiaries issuing, making payment under, being required to pay or reimburse the issuer of, or being a party to, any guarantee, indemnity, surety bond, letter of credit, letter of comfort or other similar obligation, in each case, solely to the extent relating to the Business and listed on Exhibit 6.11(a) (collectively, the “Indemnified Guarantees”); (ii) any claim or demand for payment made on Parent or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any of the Indemnified Guarantees; or (iii) any Action by any Person who is or claims to be entitled to the benefit of or claims to be entitled to payment, reimbursement or indemnity with respect to any Indemnified Guarantees. For the avoidance of doubt, none of Buyer or any of the Companies will guarantee or otherwise provide any credit support to Parent and its other Affiliates under the Seller Debt Facilities effective as of the Closing. Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, cancel or otherwise effect any amendments or modifications or any other changes to any Indemnified Guarantee that could increase, extend or accelerate the liability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates under such Indemnified Guarantees, without Buyer’s prior written consent, which subject to the application of this Section 6.11(a) to any such increase, extension or acceleration, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b) From and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Buyer and Parent shall cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause Buyer or one of its Subsidiaries to be substituted in all respects for Parent and any of its Subsidiaries, and for Parent and its Subsidiaries to be released, effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, in respect of all Indemnified Guarantees.

-68-

Buyer or (ii) assign, or cause to be assigned, such Business Liability, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), to Buyer or its Affiliates as Buyer may designate. In perpetuity or until such time that Parent or any of its Affiliates transfers such asset to the applicable Company, Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Buyer and its Subsidiaries (A) an exclusive (even as to Parent and its Affiliates), royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers) and transferable right and license (or sub-license, as the case may be) to fully use, practice, make, have made, import, offer to sell, sell, distribute, reproduce, create derivative works of, perform, display, market and otherwise exploit such asset and (B) a covenant not to bring, assert, pursue, maintain or provide finding or advice in support of any Action anywhere in the world against Buyer, the Companies or their sublicensees with respect to the foregoing activities, in each case under (A) and (B), effective as of the Closing Date.

In perpetuity or until such time that Buyer or any of the Companies transfers such asset to Parent or a designated Affiliates, Buyer, on behalf of itself and the Companies, hereby grants to Parent and its Subsidiaries (A) an exclusive (even as to Buyer and the Companies), royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers) and transferable right and license (or sub-license, as the case may be) to fully use, practice, make, have made, import, offer to sell, sell, distribute, reproduce, create derivative works of, perform, display, market and otherwise exploit such asset and (B) a covenant not to bring, assert, pursue, maintain or provide finding or advice in support of any Action anywhere in the world against Parent, its Subsidiaries, or their sublicensees with respect to the foregoing activities, in each case under (A) and (B), effective as of the Closing Date.

(e) The Parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with their obligations under Section 6.11(c) and Section 6.11(d) and to facilitate the transition of collections as promptly as practicable after the Closing. The Parties acknowledge and agree there is no right of offset for any payments to be made pursuant to Section 6.11(c) and Section 6.11(d) and a Party may not withhold funds received from third parties which it is required to remit to the other party pursuant to Section 6.11(c) and Section 6.11(d) in the event there is a dispute regarding any other issue under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which they are a party.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.11, the Parties acknowledge that any transfers pursuant to Section 6.11(c) and Section 6.11(d) are of legal title only (the beneficial ownership of such assets having been transferred to Buyer or its Affiliates, or retained by Parent or its Affiliates, at Closing for Tax purposes).

-69-

(g) The Companies shall deliver to Buyer prior to the Closing customary documentation evidencing the release of the Companies from the Seller Debt Facilities (the “Seller Debt Facilities Releases”), to the extent required by the Seller Debt Facilities. If required, the Seller Debt Facilities Releases shall provide that all guarantees and security provided by the Companies in connection with the Seller Debt Facilities shall be released and terminated upon the Closing.

(h) Prior to the Closing, Parent will and will cause its Subsidiaries to: (i) take all actions reasonably required to cause all accounts receivable and related assets that were originated by the Business and sold into an Accounts Receivable Facility to be reconveyed to the Business and transferred to a Company designated by Buyer free and clear of all Liens and (ii) cease transfers of the Business’ accounts receivable and related assets into any Accounts Receivable Facility.

Effective at the Closing, Parent shall cause all Intercompany Arrangements set forth on Exhibit 6.12 to be terminated without any party thereto having any continuing obligation or other Liability to any other parties thereto (and without any Liability to Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Companies)) notwithstanding any terms thereof to the contrary, and any receivable, payable or any other such intercompany account under any such Intercompany Arrangements that is not settled as of the Closing shall, effective automatically upon the Closing and without the action of any party, be terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, understandings or Contracts entered into by Parent or any of its Affiliates, other than any Company, with a third party, shall not be terminated pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement (including in Section 6.22 with respect to Shared Contracts), any of the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise agreed to by Parent and Buyer, the Business shall no longer receive any benefits under such understandings or Contracts.

provided, however, that such cooperation does not: (i) require (A) the entry by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Companies) into any Contract (whether or not conditioned on the Closing other than the Seller Debt Facilities Release, which will be conditioned on the Closing), (B) the entry by any Company into any Contract the effectiveness of which is, or any of the Companies’ obligations thereunder are, not conditioned on the Closing or (C) any Company or its pre-Closing directors, officers, managers, general partners or employees to execute, deliver or enter into, or perform any Contract, document or instrument with respect to the Debt Financing except (x) those that only take effect upon Closing and (y) the Authorization Letters; (ii) unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of any Company or any of their respective Affiliates in their reasonable business judgment exercised in good faith; (iii) include any actions that any Company reasonably believes would (A) result in a violation of any Contract or any Law, or the loss of any attorney-client privilege or other similar legal privilege or (B) cause any representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation in this Agreement to be breached or any condition set forth in Article VII to fail to be satisfied; (iv) involve consenting to the pre-filing of UCC-1s or any other grant of Liens that result in (A) Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than any Company) being responsible to any third parties for any representations or warranties (whether prior to, on or after the Closing Date) or (B) any Company being responsible to any third parties for any representations or warranties prior to the Closing; (v) require delivery of any solvency certificate or similar certification or representation prior to the Closing (vi) require the waiver or amendment of any terms of this Agreement or the payment of any fees or reimbursement of any expenses prior to the Closing for which any Company has not received prior reimbursement or is not otherwise indemnified by Buyer, or incur any other liability or obligation, or provide or agree to provide any indemnity; (vii) cause any director, officer or employee of any Company or any of their respective Affiliates to incur any personal liability (including that none of the board of directors, or analogous body, of any Company will be required to enter into any resolutions or take any similar action approving the Financing that are not contingent on the Closing); (viii) require any Company or any of their respective Affiliates to prepare or deliver any financial statements or information

-82-

other than the Financial Statements, with it being further understood that Buyer (and not any Company or any of their respective Affiliates) will be responsible for the preparation of any pro forma financial statements for the Debt Financing, including the preparation of any pro forma calculations, any post-Closing or other pro forma cost savings synergies, capitalization, ownership or other pro forma adjustments that may be included therein; or (ix) require the delivery of any financial statements other than the Financial Statements. Buyer agrees that the effectiveness of any documents executed by or on behalf of any Company in connection with the Financing will be subject to, and will not be effective until, the Closing, and that in no event will Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Company) be required to execute or deliver any documents in connection with the Financing other than the Seller Debt Facilities Release, which will be conditioned on the Closing. All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding any Company or any of their respective Affiliates obtained by Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.24(e) will be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that confidential information may be shared with prospective lenders solely to the extent they are subject to customary confidentiality arrangements, including “click through” confidentiality agreements and provisions contained in customary bank information memoranda and other offering materials. As a condition to the obligations of any Company pursuant to this Section 6.24(e), Buyer will promptly upon request by any Company reimburse such Company for all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses and disbursements) incurred by such Company or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the cooperation contemplated by this Section 6.24(e) and will reimburse, defend, indemnify and hold harmless any such Person from, against and in respect of any and all Liabilities resulting from, or that exist or arise due to or in connection with the Financing, including providing the cooperation contemplated by this Section 6.24(e), and any information used in connection therewith, except to the extent such Liabilities arise out of or in connection with (A) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or Fraud of Parent or any of its Affiliates or (B) any material inaccuracy of any financial historical information of the Companies provided in writing by or behalf of Parent, the Business or any of its Affiliates specifically for use in connection with the assistance obligations set forth in this Section 6.24.

(f) Buyer agrees that Parent and the Companies have no responsibility in connection with the Debt Financing, with the sole exception of the cooperation obligations set forth in Section 6.24(e) (and subject to the limitations contained therein). Parent and the Companies will be given the opportunity to review any document prepared or utilized in connection with such Debt Financing activities that includes any information provided by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Companies), including any offering memorandum, banker’s book or similar document, any slide presentations or any other offering materials and such materials will include customary disclaimers with respect to information regarding the Companies. Buyer hereby acknowledges that none of the Companies or any of their Affiliates will have any responsibility for the manner in which information provided about any Company is presented, used or interpreted in any document or material (including any offering memorandum, banker’s book or similar document, any slide presentations or any other offering materials) provided to any actual or potential provider of Debt Financing.

(g) Buyer agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 10.12, its obligations to perform its agreements under this Agreement, including to consummate the Closing subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, are not in any

-83-

way conditioned on obtaining the Debt Financing or any alternative Debt Financing or on the performance of any party to any Debt Commitment Letter. None of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Companies set forth in this Agreement will be deemed to apply to, or deemed breached or violated by, any of the actions taken by any Company or any of their respective Representatives pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 6.24.

(h) To the extent that this Section 6.24 requires any Company’s cooperation with respect to any of the obligations of Buyer relating to the Debt Financing, such Company will be deemed to have complied with this Section 6.24 for purposes of Article VII if such Company has provided Buyer with the assistance required under Section 6.24(e) with respect to the Debt Financing. The condition set forth in Section 7.3(b), as it applies to the Companies’ obligations under this Section 6.24, will be deemed satisfied unless the Debt Financing (or any alternative debt financing, if applicable) has not been obtained, and is not available to be drawn down at the Closing (or the first date on which the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 are satisfied or waived (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction of those conditions at Closing)), primarily as a direct and proximate result of any Company’s Fraud or Willful Breach of its obligations under this Section 6.24.

(i) Buyer will (i) keep Parent informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of all material activity concerning the Financing (including the status of its efforts to obtain the Financing or any Alternative Financing pursuant to Section 6.24(d)) and (ii) promptly provide Parent with copies of all executed amendments, modifications or replacements of any Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer will promptly notify Parent (A) of any breach or default (or any circumstance that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to the Financing Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing of which Buyer becomes aware, (B) of the receipt by Buyer of any written notice or communication from any Equity Financing Source or Debt Financing Source with respect to any actual breach or default, or any termination or repudiation, in each case by any party to a Financing Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements related to the Financing of any provisions of any Financing Commitment Letter or such definitive agreements and (C) if for any reason Buyer at any time believes it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letters.

(j) Parent hereby consents to the use of its and the Companies’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage Parent or its Affiliates or the reputation or goodwill of Parent or its Affiliates.

TERMINATION

Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time at or prior to the Closing (the “Termination Date”):

(a) in writing, by mutual consent of Buyer and Parent;

(b) by Parent at any time prior to the Closing if a breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant of Buyer set forth in this Agreement will have occurred, which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 and as a result of such breach, such condition would not be capable of being satisfied prior to the Outside Date and (ii) is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, is not cured by Buyer within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of written notice of such breach from Parent (or, if the Outside Date is less than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of receipt of such notice, by the Outside Date); provided that Parent will not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) if Parent or any of the Companies is then in breach of any of their respective representations, warranties, agreements or covenants under this Agreement and such breach would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article VII; or

(c) by Buyer at any time prior to the Closing if a breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant of Parent or the Companies set forth in this Agreement will have occurred, which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 and as a result of such breach, such condition would not be capable of being satisfied prior to the Outside Date and (ii) is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, is not cured by Parent within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of written notice of such breach from Buyer (or, if the Outside Date is less than thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of written notice of such breach, by the Outside Date); provided that Buyer will not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if Buyer is then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, agreements or covenants under this Agreement and such breach would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article VII; or

-86-

conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of those conditions at Closing), (iii) Parent has subsequently irrevocably confirmed to Buyer in writing that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of those conditions at Closing) and that Parent stands ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing, and (iv) Buyer has not consummated the Closing by the fourth (4^th) Business Day following the later of (A) the date on which the Closing was required to occur pursuant to Section 2.4 and (B) the date Parent delivers such written notice pursuant to foregoing clause (i);

In the event of the termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given by the Party so terminating to the other Parties, and this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by any Party.

(b) all filings, applications and other submissions made pursuant hereto shall, to the extent practicable, be withdrawn from the agency or other Person to which made, unless otherwise mutually agreed by Parent and Buyer;

(c) notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, there shall be no Liability hereunder on the part of any of Parent, Buyer or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or representatives, except (i) as provided in Section 8.3, or (ii) if the basis of termination is a Willful Breach by Parent of one or more of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, then Parent shall be fully liable to Buyer for any and all Losses incurred or suffered by Buyer as a result of such Willful Breach, and (iii) the obligations provided for (A) in this Section 8.1(c) and Section 6.3(b) (Access to Information), Section 6.6 (Public Announcements), Section 10.1 (Fees and Expenses), Section 10.2 (Notices), Section 10.3 (Severability),

Section 8.3 Buyer Termination Fee.

(a) If this Agreement is properly terminated by (i) Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b) (Breach) or Section 8.1(d) (Failure to Close) or (ii) Buyer pursuant to Section 8.1(e) (Outside Date) and, in the case of this clause (ii), at such time Parent had the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b) (Breach) or Section 8.1(d) (Failure to Close), then Buyer will, within five (5) Business Days after such termination, pay to Parent a cash fee equal to One Hundred Thirty Four Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($134,750,000) (the “Buyer Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the payment date.

(b) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the agreement contained in this Section 8.3 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without such agreement, the other Party would not enter into this Agreement. Parent further agrees and acknowledges that, except as expressly permitted by Section 10.12, if Buyer fails to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise is in breach of this Agreement prior to the Closing, then (i) Parent’s and its Affiliates’ sole and exclusive remedy against Buyer, the Equity Financing Source, the Debt Financing Sources, their respective Affiliates and any of their respective former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, assignees or Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Related Parties”), whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, will be to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1 and, if Buyer is required to pay the Buyer Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(a), to collect the Buyer Termination Fee and the reimbursement of fees, costs and expenses as provided in the last sentence of Section 8.3(c), (ii) the payment of the Buyer Termination Fee is not a penalty and will be deemed to be liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent for any and all direct or indirect Liabilities of any kind, character or description incurred or suffered by Parent or any other Person in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision), and (iii) other than as otherwise provided in the foregoing clause (i) and for the Limited Guarantor’s obligations under the Limited Guarantee, no other Buyer Related Party will have any further Liability whatsoever relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances will Parent be (A) entitled to collect the Buyer Termination Fee on more than one occasion or (B) permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance as contemplated by Section 10.12 and the Buyer Termination Fee.

-88-

(c) If Buyer fails to timely pay the Buyer Termination Fee when due pursuant to this Section 8.3 and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences an Action that results in a judgment against Buyer for the payment of the Buyer Termination Fee, Buyer will reimburse Parent for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Action; provided, that Buyer’s reimbursement obligation under this Section 8.3 shall not exceed $6,000,000 in the aggregate.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties further acknowledge and agree that, prior to the Closing, the aggregate liability of Buyer under, or related to, this Agreement, whether or not this Agreement is terminated, and regardless of the reason for any such termination, shall not exceed an amount equal to the Buyer Termination Fee, the payment of any amounts payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 8.3(c), and the payment of any amounts payable by Buyer pursuant to the last sentence of Section 6.24(e).

ARTICLE IX

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1 No Survival. Other than any covenants and agreements herein, to the extent that such covenant or agreement specifically contemplates or requires performance by a Party after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Covenants”), the representations and warranties and the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall terminate at, and not survive, the Closing, and thereafter there will be no liability on the part of, nor will any claim be made by, any Party or any of their respective Affiliates in respect thereof, in each case, in the absence of Fraud. The Post-Closing Covenants shall survive the Closing for the time periods specified therein and shall terminate once such covenants are fully performed in accordance with their terms. The Parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 9.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’-length negotiation among the Parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the Parties.

Section 9.2 Indemnification.

(a) Effective at and after the Closing, subject to the limitations contained in this Article IX, Parent hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer, any Affiliates of Buyer (including the Companies) and their respective successors and permitted assigns (“Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against, and agrees to hold each Buyer Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all Losses incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of, resulting from or related to:

(i) any Retained Liabilities; or

(ii) any breach of any Post-Closing Covenant to be performed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding the Companies) pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Effective at and after the Closing, subject to the limitations contained in this Article IX, Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify Parent, its Subsidiaries and their respective successors and permitted assigns (“Parent Indemnified Parties”) against and agrees to hold each Parent Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all Losses incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by Parent Indemnified Parties arising out of, resulting from or related to:

-89-

(i) any Business Liabilities; or

(ii) any breach of any Post-Closing Covenant made or to be performed by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Companies) pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 9.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The Person seeking indemnification under Section 9.2 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action by any third party (“Third-Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 9.2. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third-Party Claim, the damages claimed and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure shall have actually and materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party promptly copies of all material notices and documents (including material court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim and include any such notices and documents with the Third-Party Claim provided to the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.3(b), shall be entitled to control (the exercise of which right to control shall conclusively establish thereby the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the relevant Indemnified Parties in respect of such Third-Party Claim, subject to the limitations in this Article IX) and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case at its own expense; provided, that prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days after delivery of a notice by the Indemnified Party of such Third-Party Claim, give written notice to the Indemnified Party that it is assuming and controlling the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain the control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim, and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party (subject to the limitations in this Article IX), if (i) the Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any Tax or criminal Actions action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) the Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Third-Party Claim, and in the opinion of the Indemnified Party’s outside counsel, a conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party (or there are defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are unavailable to the Indemnifying Party), (iv) the Third-Party Claim seeks a finding or admission of a violation of law (including any Third-Party Claim seeking to impose criminal fines, penalties or sanctions) or any judgment of a Governmental Authority against the Indemnifying Party, (v) upon petition by the Indemnified Party, an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third-Party Claim, or (vi) that involves a material customer, material prospective customer, material supplier or other important business relationship of the Business, as reasonably determined by the Indemnified Party. If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third-Party Claim can reasonably be separated from the portion solely relating to monetary damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the

-90-

defense of the portion relating solely to monetary damages. If the Indemnifying Party shall so assume the control of the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) before entering into any settlement of such Third-Party Claim if (A) the settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all Liabilities with respect to such Third-Party Claim, (B) the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (C) the settlement includes the admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (D) the Indemnifying Party does not pay all amounts in such settlement.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest or (ii) there are material legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party. In case the Indemnified Party chooses to participate in the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Each Party shall reasonably cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to reasonably cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith; provided, that no Party shall be required to disclose any such records or information that would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege, but such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to develop an alternative to providing such records or information that is reasonably acceptable to the other Party. The Indemnified Party shall not settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(e) An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of any one Loss.

(f) If an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnification under Section 9.2 against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure shall have actually and materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its indemnification obligation for any Losses with respect to such claim, the parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of jurisdiction determined pursuant to Section 10.8.

-91-

Section 9.4 Limitation of Liability.

(a) An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of any one Loss.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Indemnified Party shall have any right to indemnification hereunder with respect to any Loss or alleged Loss to the extent such Loss or alleged Loss is taken into account in the calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Net Working Capital or Transaction Expenses, in each case, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.7.

(c) In no event shall Parent’s total liability under Section 9.2(a)(i) and Section 9.2(a)(ii) or Buyer’s total liability under Section 9.2(b)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(ii), respectively, exceed the Final Purchase Price (as determined in accordance with Section 2.7).

(d) The amount of any Losses of any Indemnified Party under this Article IX shall be calculated net of any amount actually received by an Indemnified Party from any third Person, including any insurance company or other insurance provider (in each case, calculated net of any actual collection costs and reserves, expenses, deductibles or premium adjustments or retrospectively rated premiums incurred or paid to procure such recoveries in respect of any Losses suffered, paid, sustained or incurred by such Indemnified Party) (such net amount being referred to herein as a “Third Party Reimbursement”) in respect of the Losses suffered thereby. If, after receipt by an Indemnified Party of an indemnification payment hereunder, such Person receives a Third Party Reimbursement in respect of the same Losses (whether in whole or in part) for which such indemnification payment was made, such Third Party Reimbursement was not taken into account in assessing the amount of indemnification and such Third Party Reimbursement together with such indemnification payment exceeds the amount of such Losses, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly turn over to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such excess and (ii) the amount of such previous indemnification payment.

Section 9.5 Sole Monetary Remedy.

Section 10.8 Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that any Legal Dispute shall be brought only in the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Chancery Court (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court declines to accept jurisdiction, in any Delaware state or federal court located in the State of Delaware), and each Party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Legal Dispute and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Legal Dispute in any such court or that any such Legal Dispute that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. During the period a Legal Dispute that is filed in accordance with this Section 10.8 is pending before a court, all Actions with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute, including any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court. Each Party hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any Legal Dispute, that (i) such Party is not subject thereto, (ii) such Legal Dispute may not be brought or is not maintainable in such court, (iii) such Party’s property is exempt or immune from execution, (iv) such Legal Dispute is brought in an inconvenient forum or (v) the venue of Legal Dispute is improper. A final judgment in any Legal Dispute described in this Section 10.8 following the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Laws.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party agrees that it will not bring or support any Action of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of the Debt Commitment Letters or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the Federal courts, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom).

Section 10.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES ON BEHALF OF EACH OF THEIR SUBSIDIARIES AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CURRENT AND FORMER AGENTS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF THE FOREGOING, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY

-95-

AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF, INCLUDING ANY ACTION AGAINST OR INVOLVING ANY DEBT FINANCING SOURCE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE DEBT COMMITMENT LETTER AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY (INCLUDING THE DEBT FINANCING).

Section 10.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under any applicable principles of conflicts of laws) as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies; provided that each of the Parties agrees that the Debt Commitment Letter, the rights and duties of the parties thereunder and any Actions arising under or related thereto (including any Action brought against any Debt Financing Source) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York.

Section 10.11 Waiver of Conflicts; Privilege.

(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that King & Spalding LLP (“K&S”) has acted as counsel to each of the Companies and Parent in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer hereby consents and agrees to, and agrees to cause (after the Closing) the Companies to consent and agree to, K&S representing Parent and any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Parent Parties”) after the Closing in any matter involving this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (a “Permitted Representation”), including with respect to disputes with respect thereto in which the interests of Parent Parties may be directly adverse to Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Companies), and even though K&S may have represented the Business in a matter substantially related to any such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for the Business. Buyer further consents and agrees to, and agrees to cause (after the Closing) the Companies to consent and agree to, the communication by K&S to Parent Parties in connection with any Permitted Representation of any fact known to K&S arising by reason of K&S’s prior representation of the Companies to the extent that such fact is relevant to such Permitted Representation. In connection with the foregoing, Buyer hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause (after the Closing) the Companies to irrevocably waive and not to assert, with respect to any Permitted Representation, any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with (i) K&S’s prior representation of the Companies or the Business and (ii) K&S’s representation of Parent Parties prior to and after the Closing. Buyer represents that Buyer’s attorney has explained and helped Buyer evaluate the implications and risks of waiving the right to assert a future conflict against K&S, and Buyer’s consent with respect to this waiver is fully informed.

(b) Buyer further agrees, on behalf of itself and, after the Closing, on behalf of the Companies, that all communications subject to any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or other similar protection for the benefit of Parent Parties, in any form or format whatsoever between or among K&S, on one hand, and the Companies, the Business or any

-96-

of their respective directors, officers, employees or other representatives, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any dispute arising under this Agreement (collectively, the “Privileged Deal Communications”) shall be deemed to be retained and owned collectively by Parent Parties, shall be controlled by Parent on behalf of Parent Parties and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or any Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Companies are not waiving any attorney-client privilege (including relating to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, and the transaction contemplated hereby and thereby) in connection with any third-party litigation.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a dispute arises between Buyer or a Company, on the one hand, and a third party other than Parent, on the other hand, Buyer or such Company may assert the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or other similar protection for the benefit of Parent Parties to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Deal Communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor any Company may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Parent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Buyer or a Company is legally required by any Order or otherwise to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Deal Communications following the Closing, Buyer shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify Parent in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section 10.11) so that Parent can seek a protective order and Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, at Parent Parties’ expense, to assist therewith. To the extent that files or other materials maintained by K&S that contain Privileged Deal Communications constitute property of its clients, only Parent Parties shall hold such property rights and K&S shall have no duty to reveal or disclose any Privileged Deal Communications contained in such files or other materials or any other Privileged Deal Communications by reason of any attorney-client relationship between K&S, on the one hand, and the Companies, on the other hand.

(d) Without limiting the rights of the Parties set forth in this Section 10.11, K&S is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 10.11. This Section 10.11 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 10.11 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of K&S.

Section 10.12 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy and accordingly the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each Party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent will only be entitled to specific performance of Buyer’s obligations to cause the Equity Financing to be funded in the event that each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (a) all conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 have been satisfied or waived by the Party against whom such waiver would be enforced (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of such conditions) at the time when the Closing would have been required to occur pursuant to Section 2.4; (b) the Debt Financing has been funded or the Debt Financing Sources have irrevocably confirmed that the Debt Financing will be funded in accordance with the terms the Debt Commitment Letters if the Equity Financing

-97-

pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter is funded substantially simultaneously therewith at the Closing; (c) Parent has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Buyer that (i) all conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied or waived by Parent (other than those conditions to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of such conditions) and (ii) Parent is (and at all times following delivery of such irrevocable written notice remains) ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing; and (d) Buyer fails to consummate the Closing within four (4) Business Days following the later of (i) the date on which the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.4 and (ii) the date Parent delivers the written notice contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (c).

Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by email transmission (including any electronic signature) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of the Agreement.

Section 10.14 Amendment; Modification. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time only by written agreement of the Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no DFS Provision may be amended or waived without the consent of the Debt Financing Sources.

Section 10.15 Schedules. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule pertaining to a representation and warranty of a Party shall be deemed to be disclosure of such fact or item with respect to any other representation and warranty of such Party solely to the extent the relevance of such fact or item to such other representation and warranty is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure of such fact or item on such Schedule. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedules is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 10.16 Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

Section 10.17 Bulk Sales Laws. Parent and Buyer each hereby waive compliance by Parent with the provisions of the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” or similar Laws of any state or any jurisdiction outside the U.S.

Section 10.18 Language; Prevailing Documents. This Agreement has been, and the Ancillary Agreements will be, prepared in the English language. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between the English language version of such documents and any translation thereof made for any purpose, the English language version will govern the interpretation and construction of such documents, and for any and all other purposes, except as may be required by applicable Law. In the event that any of the terms of this Agreement conflict with any of the terms of the Ancillary Agreements, the terms of this Agreement will prevail.

-98-

Section 10.19 Non-Recourse.

(a) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement may be enforced only against, and any claims or causes of action for breach of this Agreement may be made only against, the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto and (without limitation to the rights of any party to any Ancillary Agreements to bring any claims against any other party to such Ancillary Agreement). Except as expressly set forth in the Limited Guarantee or the Equity Commitment Letter, no Person who is not a named Party to this Agreement, including without limitation any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any named Party to this Agreement (“Non-Party Affiliates”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party to this Agreement for any claim (whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity) for breach of this Agreement or in respect of any oral or other representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith; provided that the Ancillary Agreements shall be enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with the terms thereof. The Parties agree that Non-Party Affiliates are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.19(a).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any related Contract to the contrary, none of Parent, the Companies or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives will have any rights or claims against (i) any provider of Debt Financing, or (ii) any of the respective former, current or future Representatives of the providers of Debt Financing in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Financing, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.19 shall limit, impair or otherwise modify (i) the rights of any of the parties to the Debt Commitment Letter (including Buyer or its Affiliates party to the Debt Commitment Letter and their respective successors and assigns) set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof or (ii) any liability or obligation of any of the Debt Financing Sources, or any of the rights under any of the definitive documentation with respect to the Debt Financing.
