If Purchaser does not deliver the Closing Statement within sixty (60) days following the Closing, then, at Seller’s election, the amounts set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement shall be deemed final and the Adjustment Amount shall be zero or, Seller may unilaterally engage the Independent Accountant for an independent determination of the Closing Statement. Purchaser may not deliver, amend or supplement the Closing Statement after the sixtieth (60^th) day following the Closing without the prior written consent of Seller.

(b) After receipt of the Closing Statement, the Seller and its representatives shall have the opportunity to review Purchaser’s calculations (including, if applicable, any work papers prepared by Purchaser’s auditors in connection therewith, subject to Seller’s execution of customary non-reliance letters, confidentiality agreements or similar agreements that may be requested by such auditors) of Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Deferred Revenue, and Seller and its representatives shall be permitted reasonable access (including the right to make copies) to the books and records of Purchaser (including accountant work papers) and to the appropriate personnel of Purchaser (including its accountants), in each case, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours for purposes of providing reasonable assistance to Seller and its representatives in connection with its review of the Closing Statement. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall cooperate with the Seller in connection with its review of the Closing Statement and shall not take any action with respect to or cause the destruction of the accounting books and records on which the Closing Statement is to be based that would obstruct or prevent the preparation of the Closing Statement and the determinations set forth in this Section 2.11. If Seller reasonably believes that Purchaser has failed to provide such access or cooperation or is otherwise in breach of this Section 2.11, then Seller shall send notice indicating Purchaser’s failure

25

to provide access or cooperation or other breach to Purchaser and the Independent Accountant. Service of the notice shall toll the deadline for the Seller to respond in accordance with Section 2.11(b)(i) until thirty (30) days after the dispute regarding access or cooperation or other breach has been resolved by the Independent Accountant (as selected in accordance with Section 2.11(b)(iii)) but the Independent Accountant would initially be asked to resolve the informational dispute before resolving any objections set forth in an Objection Notice and, if applicable, any subsequent information has been produced by Purchaser.

(i) If, within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Closing Statement (as such time period may be tolled pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)), the Seller has not given Purchaser notice of its objection to any item in the Closing Statement (an “Objection Notice”), then the Closing Statement shall be deemed final and binding on Purchaser, Seller and any other party hereto.

(ii) If the Seller delivers an Objection Notice, then Purchaser and the Seller shall consult in good faith to resolve the disputed items set forth in the Objection Notice. If all disputed items set forth in the Objection Notice are resolved in writing by the Seller and Purchaser, then the Closing Statement, as revised to reflect the written resolution of the Seller and Purchaser, shall be final and binding on Purchaser, Seller and any other party hereto.

(iii) If any disputed items have not been resolved within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Objection Notice, from and after such time either the Seller or Purchaser may submit the remaining disputed items to a nationally recognized independent public accountant that is not providing (and during the preceding two-year period has not provided) services to Seller or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates (or, if none is available, a nationally recognized consulting or valuation firm) that is mutually agreeable to the Seller and Purchaser (the firm actually retained pursuant to this sentence, the “Independent Accountant”) for resolution. If an Independent Accountant is retained to resolve any informational disputes as set forth in this Section 2.11(b), that same Independent Accountant will resolve any disputes set forth in the Objection Notice.

(1) If any items in dispute are submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, (x) Purchaser and the Seller shall use their respective reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to resolve all remaining disagreements (only to the extent such disagreements remain in dispute) with respect to the Closing Statement as soon as practicable but in any event shall direct the Independent Accountant to render a determination within thirty (30) days after its retention, (y) Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate with the Independent Accountant during its engagement and furnish to the Independent Accountant and each other such work papers and other documents and information (subject to customary non-reliance letters, confidentiality agreements or similar agreements that may be requested by third parties) relating solely to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountant may request and are available to that party (including, in the case of Purchaser, its accountants), and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountant any materials relating to the determination and to discuss the determination with the Independent Accountant; provided,

26

however, that copies of all such materials are concurrently provided to the other party and that discussions may only occur in the presence (including by telephone) of the other party; provided further, however, that the Independent Accountant shall consider only those items and amounts which are identified as being in dispute, and (z) the determination by the Independent Accountant of the disputed items in the Closing Statement, as shall be set forth in a notice delivered to both parties by the Independent Accountant, shall be final and binding on Purchaser, Seller and any other party hereto on the date the Independent Accountant delivers its final resolution in writing to the Seller and Purchaser.

(2) The Independent Accountant shall have full authority to resolve issues relating to the disputed items in the Closing Statement; provided, however, that the Independent Accountant shall not have the authority to resolve issues relating to (x) breaches of representations, warranties or covenants or (y) other claims that are not within the scope of the disputed items in the Closing Statement. The Independent Accountant shall set forth its determination of all issues in a written opinion. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Independent Accountant shall make its determination based solely on presentations by Purchaser and the Seller and not on the basis of independent review. The final judgment of the Independent Accountant may be entered into any court having jurisdiction over the issues addressed in the arbitration.

(3) The parties and the Independent Accountant will keep confidential, and will not disclose to any Person, except to their attorneys, investors and representatives or as may be required by Law or in connection with enforcing the decision of the Independent Accountant, the existence of any dispute, claim or controversy under this Section 2.11, the referral of any such dispute, claim or controversy to the Independent Accountant or the status or resolution thereof.

(4) The fees of the Independent Accountant for such determination shall be borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in proportion to the portion of the aggregate amount in dispute that is finally resolved by the Independent Accountant in a manner adverse to such party. For example, if the Purchaser claims the appropriate line item adjustments are $1,000 (in the aggregate) less than the amount determined by the Seller, and the Seller contests only $500 of the amounts claimed by the Purchaser, and if the Independent Accountant ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Purchaser $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant will be allocated 60% (i.e. 300/500) to Seller and 40% (i.e. 200/500) to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Independent Accountant is engaged solely to resolve an access or cooperation dispute pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) but does not subsequently determine any items in dispute pursuant to an Objection Notice, the fees of the Independent Accountant shall be split equally by Purchaser and Seller.

27

(c) The Estimated Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows (without duplication and as so adjusted, the “Final Purchase Price”): (i) increased by the amount, if any, by which Closing Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.11(b) (“Final Working Capital”), is greater than Estimated Working Capital, (ii) reduced by the amount, if any, by which Final Working Capital is less than Estimated Working Capital, (iii) reduced by the amount, if any, by which Closing Deferred Revenue, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.11(b) (“Final Deferred Revenue”), is greater than Estimated Deferred Revenue, and (iv) increased by the amount, if any, by which Final Deferred Revenue is less than Estimated Deferred Revenue (the amount of the adjustment, which may be positive or negative, calculated pursuant to this Section 2.11(c), the “Adjustment Amount”).

(d) No later than the second (2nd) Business Day following the final determination of the Adjustment Amount:

(i) if the Adjustment Amount is positive, then (A) Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount in cash equal to the Adjustment Amount and (B) the Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be released to Seller pursuant to Section 2.11(e);

(ii) if the Adjustment Amount is negative, then (A) Purchaser and Seller shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release an amount of cash equal to the Adjustment Amount from the Adjustment Escrow Fund and (B) any remaining Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be released to Seller pursuant to Section 2.11(e); or

(iii) if the Adjustment Amount is zero, then (A) Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(d) and (B) the Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be released to Seller pursuant to Section 2.11(e).

(e) Any Adjustment Escrow Funds remaining following the payment to Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.11(d)(ii) shall be concurrently released to Seller, or if no payment is made from the Adjustment Escrow Fund to Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.11(d)(i) or Section 2.11(d)(iii), all Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be immediately released to Seller.

(f) Payment of the negative Adjustment Amount (if any) from the Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be the sole and exclusive remedy and source of recovery available to Purchaser for any claims by Purchaser against Seller or Seller Group member, or otherwise, arising out of or relating to any negative Adjustment Amount (if any) and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have any claim against Seller or any of its Affiliates in respect thereof.

(g) Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law, the Adjustment Amount shall be treated as an adjustment to the Estimated Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes.

2.12 Preparation of Closing Statements. The Pre-Closing Statement and the Closing Statement (and all estimates and calculations of the amounts included therein, including of Closing Net Working Capital), as applicable shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Methodology, except that the Closing Statement (and all estimates and calculations of the amounts included therein, including of Closing Net Working Capital) shall (a) not include any purchase

28

accounting or other adjustment arising out of the consummation of the Transactions, (b) not be impacted by any (i) changes requested by Purchaser between the date hereof and the Closing Date or (ii) any action of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and (c) in the case of the calculations of Closing Net Working Capital, only include the same line items included in the calculation of Working Capital in accordance with Section 6.10.

2.13 Transfer Taxes. It is the intention of the Purchaser and the Seller that the Transactions be exempt from all transfer, documentary, sales, use, excise, stock transfer, value-added, stamp, recording, registration and other similar taxes, levies and fees (including any penalties, fines and interest), together with any conveyance fees, recording charges and other similar fees and charges, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) pursuant to Section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable. Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the amount of any Transfer Taxes due with respect to the Transactions. Solely to the extent not exempt in accordance with Section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any available exemption under state or local law, (i) with respect to any Transfer Taxes in aggregate amount not to exceed $4,000,000, Purchaser and Seller shall each be responsible for 50% of such Transfer Taxes, regardless of the party on whom liability is imposed under the provisions of the Laws relating to such Transfer Taxes, and (ii) with respect to all Transfer Taxes above the amount set forth in clause (i), Seller shall be solely responsible for such Transfer Taxes and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser against any such Transfer Taxes. The party responsible under applicable Law for filing all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to any Transfer Tax shall (a) properly file such Tax Returns and other documentation on a timely basis (and, if required by applicable Law, the other party will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation), and (b) timely pay all Transfer Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority and provide to the other party evidence of payment of all Transfer Taxes (and such other party, shall, within five (5) days prior to the due date of the applicable Tax Return (taking into account all valid extensions obtained), pay its share of the Transfer Taxes to the filing party).

2.14 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide Seller an allocation of the amounts required to be paid by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.9(a) among the Seller and each Subsidiary transferring assets hereunder (the “Closing Payment Allocation Schedule”). In the event the Seller notifies Purchaser that it disagrees with the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule delivered by Purchaser within three (3) days of delivery of the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule by Purchaser, Purchaser and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such disputed items as promptly as practicable; provided that, if the Seller does not deliver a notice of disagreement to Purchaser within three (3) days of delivery of the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule by Purchaser, the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule delivered by Purchaser shall be final. If Purchaser and the Seller are unable to reach agreement with respect to the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule within three (3) days after the delivery of the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule by Purchaser to the Seller, the parties shall submit the dispute to the Bankruptcy Court for final resolution. Within 90 days following the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a schedule allocating the Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities, and all other amounts treated as consideration for U.S. federal

29

income tax purposes (collectively, the “Tax Consideration”) among the Transferred Assets (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule shall be reasonable, shall be prepared in accordance with (and to the extent necessary to comply with) Section 1060 of the IRC Code and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder and shall be consistent with the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule. In the event the Seller notifies Purchaser that it disagrees with the Allocation Schedule delivered by Purchaser within fifteen (15) days of delivery of the Allocation Schedule by Purchaser, Purchaser and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such disputed items as promptly as practicable; provided that, if the Seller does not deliver a notice of disagreement to Purchaser within fifteen (15) days of delivery of the Allocation Schedule by Purchaser, the Allocation Schedule delivered by Purchaser shall be final. If Purchaser and the Seller are unable to reach agreement with respect to the Allocation Schedule within 30 days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule by Purchaser to the Seller, the parties shall submit the dispute to the Bankruptcy Court for final resolution. The Seller and the Purchaser shall submit the relevant information, books and records, as applicable, and all other data necessary for, or requested by, the Bankruptcy Court to make its determination. The determination of the Bankruptcy Court solely in respect of the specifically disputed items shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the Allocation Schedule shall be revised solely to reflect such determinations, and thereafter such revised Allocation Schedule shall be deemed agreed to by the parties. The parties shall be bound by the agreed (or deemed agreed) Allocation Schedule (as adjusted pursuant to the prior sentence), and the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, report, act and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such allocation.

(b) Purchaser and the Seller shall (i) timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with the Allocation Schedule, (ii) prepare and file all Tax Returns and determine all Taxes in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule, and (iii) not, and shall not allow their respective Affiliates to, take any actions inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule, except in each case as may be required by a change in applicable Law or pursuant to the good faith resolution of a tax dispute and except as may be necessary to reflect adjustments to the Allocation Schedule resulting from post-Closing payments or events as mutually agreed between Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall notify the other if it receives notice that any Governmental Authority proposes any allocation different from Allocation Schedule.

2.15 Escrow Accounts. At the Closing, the Deposit Escrow Amount shall be used to satisfy a portion of the payment obligations of Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.8(e)(ii), otherwise the Deposit Escrow Amount shall be released to Purchaser or Seller pursuant to Section 2.9(c). The Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be used to satisfy any portion of the payment obligations (if any) of Seller pursuant to Section 2.11(d)(ii), otherwise the Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be released to Seller pursuant to Section 2.11(e). Upon the final release of all of the Deposit Escrow Amount and the Adjustment Escrow Funds pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agreement shall automatically terminate. Any fees owed to the Escrow Agent and obligations under the Escrow Agreement shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. The Deposit Escrow Amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Seller and neither the Deposit Escrow Amount nor the Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be subject to any encumbrance, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party hereto, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes of and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

30

2.16 Local Transfer Agreements .

(a) In any non-U.S. jurisdiction (i) in which the transfer of Transferred Assets or the assumption of Assumed Liabilities is required by applicable Law to be made pursuant to a Local Transfer Agreement or (ii) where Purchaser or Seller reasonably expects that using a Local Transfer Agreement to such make such transfer or assumption would reduce applicable Transfer Taxes, any such Transferred Assets or Assumed Liabilities, as applicable, shall be transferred or assumed by a Local Transfer Agreement.

(b) To the extent that applicable local law requires provisions of a Local Transfer Agreement, and such provisions 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 Transferred Assets or the assumption of Assumed Liabilities), (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and (ii) so far as permissible under applicable Law of the relevant jurisdiction, the Seller and Purchaser shall cause the provisions of the relevant Local Transfer Agreement to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) No Party (or any of its Affiliates) shall bring any claim against the other Party or any of its Affiliates in respect of or based upon any of the Local Transfer Agreements, except to the extent necessary to enforce any transfer of the Transferred Assets or the assumption of Assumed Liabilities sold or assigned to Purchaser hereunder in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. All such claims shall be brought in accordance with, and be subject to the provisions, rights and limitations set out in, this Agreement, and no party shall be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity under or pursuant to any of the Local Transfer Agreements (but without prejudice to the establishment of the existence of the claim hereunder).

2.17 Withholding . The Purchaser shall be entitled to withhold from any amount otherwise payable to Seller or any Subsidiary selling assets pursuant to this Agreement, any withholding Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld from the amounts so payable. Any amount so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority shall be deemed to have been paid over to the applicable Seller or Subsidiary for all purposes of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser determines that Purchaser is required to withhold any Taxes from any amount otherwise payable to Seller or any Subsidiary under this Agreement, Purchaser use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Seller or Subsidiary of such requirement and the basis for such requirement prior to the Closing. The Parties shall cooperate in determining whether any such withholding is required and to take reasonably steps to reduce or eliminate any such withholding. As of the date of this agreement and based on the information known by the parties, the parties are not aware that any such withholding will be required under applicable Law.

40

4.2 Authority and Enforceability. Purchaser has all requisite corporate power or other entity power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each of the Related Documents to which it is (or at Closing, will be) a party and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Transactions.

This Agreement has been, and each Related Document will be at or prior to Closing, duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming the due execution and delivery by the other parties hereto or thereto, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable against it in accordance with its respective terms, except to the extent that such enforceability may be subject to, and limited by, the Enforceability Exceptions.

ARTICLE 5

BANKRUPTCY COURT MATTERS

5.1 Competing Transaction. This Agreement is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the consideration by the Seller of higher or better competing bids in respect of all or any part of the Transferred Assets (whether in combination with other assets of the Seller Group or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the Bid Procedures Order (each, a “Competing Bid”). From the date hereof (and any prior time) and until the Closing, the Seller is permitted to, and to cause its representatives to, initiate contact with, solicit or encourage submission of any inquiries, proposals or offers by, any Person (in addition to Purchaser and its Affiliates and representatives) in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Transferred Assets. In addition, the Seller shall have the authority to respond to any inquiries or offers to purchase all or any part of the Transferred Assets (whether in combination with other assets of the Seller Group or otherwise) and perform any and all other acts related thereto which are required under the Bankruptcy Code, the Bid Procedures Order or other applicable Law, including supplying information relating to the Business and the assets of the Seller Group to prospective purchasers.

5.2 Bankruptcy Court Filings.

(a) Subject to its right to pursue a Competing Bid in accordance with the Bid Procedures Order, the Seller shall diligently pursue the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Sale Order, which Sale Order shall provide for the transfer of the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser Free and Clear. The Seller shall comply (or obtain an Order from the Bankruptcy Court waiving compliance) with all requirements under the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and the Local Bankruptcy Rules for the Bankruptcy Court in obtaining the entry of the Sale Order. The Seller further covenants and agrees that, after entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Sale Order, and provided, that the Sale Order becomes a Final Order, the terms of any other proposed order submitted by the Seller to the Bankruptcy Court shall not conflict with, supersede, abrogate, nullify or restrict the terms of this Agreement, or in any way prevent or interfere with the consummation or performance of the

43

Transactions. Purchaser agrees that it will promptly take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Seller to assist in obtaining entry of the Sale Order, including by furnishing affidavits or other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court for the purposes, among others, of providing necessary assurances of performance by Purchaser under this Agreement and demonstrating that Purchaser is a “good faith” purchaser under Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code. In the event the entry of the Sale Order shall be appealed, each of the Seller and Purchaser shall use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to defend such appeal.

(b) If an auction is conducted pursuant to the Bid Procedures Order (the “Auction”) and Purchaser is not the Successful Bidder, Purchaser shall, in accordance with and subject to the Bid Procedures Order, be required to serve as the Back-Up Bid if Purchaser is the next highest or otherwise best bidder for the Transferred Assets at Auction. If Purchaser is chosen as the Backup Bid, Purchaser will be required to keep its bid to consummate the Transactions on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (as may be amended with Seller’s written consent prior to or at the Auction) open and irrevocable until the Back-up Termination Date. If the agreement with the Successful Bidder (other than Purchaser) is terminated prior to closing under such agreement, Purchaser will be deemed to be the Successful Bidder and Purchaser will forthwith consummate the Transactions on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (as the same may be amended with Seller’s written consent prior to or at the Auction), subject to the right of Purchaser to elect to not serve as the Back-up Bid at any time after the Back-up Termination Date.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller shall: (i) file the Bid Procedures Motion as soon as reasonably practicable after the Petition Date, (ii) consult with the Purchaser concerning any proposed amendments to the Bid Procedures Order, the Sale Order and any other Orders of the Bankruptcy Court relating to the Transactions; and (iii) promptly serve true and correct copies of all pleadings and notices that relate in any way to this Agreement, the Transactions, the Transferred Assets, or the Bid Procedures on all parties-in-interest in accordance with the Bid Procedures Order, the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure or any applicable Order of the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, Seller shall not amend, waive, modify or supplement the Bidding Procedures, including Sections VIII.b and XII.B.1 thereof, in any manner that is adverse to Purchaser.

5.3 Assumption of Assigned Contracts.

(a) The Seller shall file (or cause to be filed) a notice of assumption (the “Assumption Notice”) with the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the Bid Procedures Order and serve such notice on each counterparty to an Assigned Contract listed thereon. The Assumption Notice shall identify all Assigned Contracts that the Seller and Purchaser believe may be assumed and assigned in connection with the sale of the Transferred Assets and set forth a good faith estimate of the amount of Cure Costs applicable to each such Assigned Contract (and if no Cure Cost is estimated to be applicable with respect to any particular Assigned Contract, the amount of such Cure Cost designated for such Assigned Contract shall be “$0.00”). In accordance with the Bid Procedures Order, the Seller reserves the right to supplement such list of Assigned Contracts and provide additional notice of assumption, and to remove an Assigned Contract from the list of Assigned Contracts.

44

(b) On the date set forth in the Bid Procedures Order (the “Designation Deadline”), Purchaser shall provide to the Seller a list of those Assigned Contracts that Purchaser elects to have assumed and assigned to Purchaser on the Closing Date (each, a “Designated Contract,” and collectively, the “Designated Contracts”). Purchaser shall be entitled to remove certain Assigned Contracts from the list of Designated Contracts at any time prior to the Designation Deadline by providing the Seller written notice of such removal. In the event that Purchaser removes any of such Assigned Contracts from such list, the Seller will provide the relevant counterparty written notice that the applicable Assigned Contract is no longer identified as a Designated Contract. Only those executory Assigned Contracts that remain identified as Designated Contracts as of the Closing Date will constitute Assigned Contracts and will be assumed by the Seller and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Order. The Seller shall file such motions or pleadings as may be appropriate or necessary to assume and assign the Assigned Contracts and to determine the amount of the Cure Costs; provided, that nothing herein shall preclude the Seller from filing one or more motion to reject any Contracts that are not Assigned Contracts.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, a Contract shall not be a Designated Contract hereunder and shall not be assigned to, or assumed by, Purchaser to the extent that such Contract is (i) deemed rejected under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) the subject of an objection to assignment or assumption or requires the consent of any Governmental Authority or other third party (other than, and in addition to, the Bankruptcy Court) in order to permit the assumption and assignment by the applicable Seller to Purchaser of such Contract pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such objection has not been resolved or such consent has not been obtained prior to the thirtieth day following the Closing Date (as such period may be extended by mutual agreement of Seller and Purchaser), or (iii) is terminated by any party thereto other than Seller, or terminates or expires by its terms, on or prior to such time as it is to be assumed by Purchaser as a Designated Contract hereunder and is not continued or otherwise extended upon assumption. In no event shall the failure to assign to Purchaser any Contract in accordance with subsections (i) through (iii) above reduce the Purchase Price payable to Seller or constitute a failure to satisfy the conditions precedent of Seller under Section 8.3.

(d) Subject to the terms of Section 2.5, Section 2.8, Section 5.3(a) and Section 5.3(b), Purchaser shall make provision for the payment of the Determined Cure Costs in accordance with the Sale Order.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the date of the Assumption Notice through the Closing Date, the Seller will not reject or take any action (or fail to take any action that would result in rejection by operation of Law) to reject, withdraw, repudiate or disclaim any Assigned Contract unless (i) Purchaser has provided its prior written consent or (ii) Purchaser has removed such Assigned Contract from the list of Designated Contracts.

6.2 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement, the Seller shall grant Purchaser and its representatives (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice (and in the event of any facility visit request, at least 48 hours prior notice), to the personnel, facilities, book and records of the Seller Group related to the Business or the Transferred Assets, that are in the possession or under the control of the Seller Group; provided, however, that (i) all requests for access shall be directed to Ash Sawhney (email: ash.sawhney@ebix.com) or such other person(s) as the Seller may designate in writing from time to time (the “Seller Access Contact”), (ii) such activities do not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of the Seller Group, (iii) the Seller shall have the right to have one or more of its representatives present at all times during any visits, examinations, discussions or contacts contemplated by this Section 6.2(a), (iv) such access or related activities would not cause a violation of any agreement to which any member of the Seller Group is a party, (v) no Personal Information shall be disclosed or used other than in compliance with applicable privacy law and (vi) nothing herein shall require any member of the Seller Group or their representatives to furnish to Purchaser or provide Purchaser with access to information that (A) is subject to an attorney-client or an attorney work-product privilege, (B) legal counsel for the Seller Group reasonably concludes may give rise to antitrust or competition law issues or violate a protective order or otherwise may not be disclosed pursuant to applicable Law or (C) would cause significant competitive harm to the Seller Group if the Transactions are not consummated.

Seller will make the Business Software available to a third party consultant engaged by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to Seller (such vendor, the “Software Consultant”) for inspection and analysis upon reasonable notice, including providing the Software Consultant with reasonable access to inspect and examine the source code (and, via “over the shoulder” access via Seller’s personnel, access to the relevant source code repositories) for the Business Software and related documentation, including any Business Software specifications. Software Consultant’s access shall be provided solely during Seller’s regular business hours on Business Days and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of Seller’s businesses (including the Business). Seller shall not be required to make Business Software available to the Software Consultant if Software Consultant does not execute a non-disclosure agreement with Seller that is reasonably acceptable to Seller and that prohibits Software Consultant from disclosing any source code of the Business Software to any third party including Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. To the extent that the Software Consultant identifies any material security weaknesses or vulnerabilities in the Business Software, Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to materially remediate any such material defects promptly. Seller shall provide Purchaser with a proposed plan for remediating any such material defects.

48

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its representatives not to, have any contact or discussions concerning any member of the Seller Group, the Business or the Transaction with any Person known by Purchaser to be a lender, borrower, creditor, guarantor, business partner, bank, landlord, tenant, supplier, customer, employee, manager, franchisee, distributer, noteholder, independent contractor or consultant to the Business or that has a material business relation with Seller with respect to the Business, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Seller Access Contact (which consent may be withheld in the Seller’s sole discretion and, if given, may be conditioned on the Seller Access Contact or his or her designee having the right to participate in any meeting or discussion); provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Purchaser and its Affiliates from discussing the foregoing with any such Persons to the extent that Purchaser and its Affiliates have an on-going material business relationship with such Persons.

(c) Any information provided to or obtained by Purchaser or its representatives, including pursuant to this Section 6.2 is confidential information and subject to the terms of, and the restrictions contained in, the Confidentiality Agreement. Effective upon (and only upon) the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate and none of the parties thereto shall have any further Liability or obligation thereunder except with respect to any confidential information provided to or obtained by Purchaser or its representatives concerning the Seller Group, which information shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement after the Closing Date. If this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing for any reason, the duration of the confidentiality of the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed extended, without any further action by the parties, for a period of time equal to the period of time elapsed between the date such Confidentiality Agreement was initially signed and the date of termination of this Agreement.

49

6.4 Notices and Consents. Reasonably promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Seller will give, or cause to be given, applicable notices to third parties and thereafter will use commercially reasonable efforts (as limited by Section 6.3) to obtain any required third-party consents; provided, however, that no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Seller shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition shall be deemed not satisfied, as a result of (a) the failure to obtain any such third-party consent, (b) any termination of a Contract as a result of the failure to obtain such third-party consent or (c) any Action commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consent or any such termination.

Each of Purchaser and the Seller shall submit as soon as practicable any supplemental or additional information which may reasonably be requested by the FTC and the DOJ or by any other Governmental Authority in connection with such filings and shall comply in all material respects with all applicable Laws relating thereto.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, promptly take any and all steps reasonably necessary to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every impediment and obtain all necessary clearances, consents, approvals and waivers under the HSR Act, the Sherman Antitrust Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other United States federal or state or foreign statutes, rules, regulations, Orders, decrees, administrative or judicial doctrines or other Laws designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (each, an “Antitrust Law,” and collectively “Antitrust Laws”) set out on Schedule 6.5(b), so as to enable the parties to cause the Closing to occur as soon as practicable and in any event prior to the Outside Date, including (A) proposing, negotiating, offering to commit and effect (and if such offer is accepted, committing to and effecting), by Order, consent decree, hold separate order, trust, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, disposition or holding separate of such assets or businesses of the Seller or its respective subsidiaries; (B) terminating, relinquishing, modifying or waiving existing relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of the Seller or its respective subsidiaries; (C) creating any relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of the Seller or its respective subsidiaries; and (D) entering or offering to enter into agreements and stipulating to the entry of an Order or decree or filing appropriate applications with any Governmental Authority in connection with any of the actions contemplated by the foregoing clauses (A) through (C) (provided that the Seller shall not be obligated to take any such action unless the taking of such

50

action is conditioned upon the consummation of the Transactions), in each case, as may be necessary, required or advisable in order to satisfy the requirements of any applicable Antitrust Law, to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or to vacate or lift, any decree or Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would otherwise have the effect of restraining, preventing or delaying the consummation of the Transactions, or to avoid the commencement of any Action that seeks to prohibit the Transactions; provided, that in no instance shall the actions taken in connection with this clause (i) have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Transferred Assets; and (ii) if any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions under any applicable Antitrust Law or if any Action, whether judicial or administrative, is instituted by any Governmental Authority or any private party challenging the Transactions as violating any applicable Antitrust Law, each of Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate with one another and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (A) oppose or defend against any action to prevent or enjoin consummation of the Transactions and (B) take such action as necessary to overturn any action by any Governmental Authority or private party to block consummation of the Transactions, including by defending any Action brought by any Governmental Authority or private party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated, overturned or terminated, including by appeal if necessary, any Law or Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would restrain, prevent or delay the Transactions, or in order to resolve any such objections or challenge as such Governmental Authority or private party may have to such Transactions under such Laws so as to permit consummation of the Transactions.

(c) Each of Purchaser and the Seller will promptly notify the other parties hereto of any written communication made to or received by either Purchaser and/or the Seller, as the case may be, from any Governmental Authority regarding the Transactions, and, subject to applicable Law, if practicable, (i) permit the other parties hereto to review in advance any proposed written communication to any such Governmental Authority and incorporate the other parties’ reasonable comments, (ii) not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any such Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement or the Transactions unless, to the extent reasonably practicable, it consults with the other parties hereto in advance and (iii) to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, give the other parties hereto the opportunity to attend, and furnish the other parties with copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications between them and their Affiliates and their respective representatives on one hand and any such Governmental Authority or its staff on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not obligate any party to disclose to any other party such portions of any proposed or final correspondence, filing or other written communication with a Governmental Authority or its staff as the party to such correspondence, filing or communication may reasonably deem competitively-sensitive, privileged or confidential vis-à-vis the other party, except that it shall disclose matters to the external counsel of the other party to the extent reasonably necessary in order to enable the party to fulfill its cooperation obligations in this Section 6.5(c).

(d) Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire by way of arrangement, amalgamation, merger or consolidation with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into a definitive agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, arrangement, amalgamation, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material

51

delay in the obtaining of, or significantly increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the Transactions or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) significantly increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions or (iii) materially delay the consummation of the Transactions.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser shall control the strategy for obtaining all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of any Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 6.5 and shall take the lead in communicating with Governmental Authorities and control the overall development of the positions to be taken and the regulatory actions to be requested in any filing or submission with any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry or litigation by or before, or any negotiations with, any Governmental Authority with respect thereto.

Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate in good faith to prepare a joint press release to be issued on the Closing Date, the terms of which shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

6.7 Update of Schedules; Knowledge of Breach. From time to time prior to the Closing, the Seller may supplement or amend the Schedules. Any such supplemental or amended disclosure shall not be deemed to have cured any such breach of representation or warranty for purposes of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) have been satisfied. From and after the Closing, references to the Schedules shall be references to the Schedules as supplemented, modified and/or updated. If, prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall have reason to believe that any breach of a representation or warranty of the Seller has occurred (other than through notice from the Seller), Purchaser shall promptly so notify the Seller, in reasonable detail.

6.8 Notification of Certain Matters. Until the Closing, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other parties in writing of any fact, change, condition, circumstance or occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event of which it is aware that will or is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article 8 becoming incapable of being satisfied.

6.9 Transferred Employees; Employee Benefits .

(a) No later than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver an updated Schedule 1.1(a) reflecting any changes to the Business Employees. The Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, may offer employment commencing on the Closing Date to any

52

Business Employees; provided, that Purchaser shall make an Acceptable Employment Offer to each Key Employee no later than the later of (i) twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Closing and (ii) three (3) Business Days after Purchaser has been selected as the Successful Bidder. Subject to Section 6.9(b) below, those Business Employees to whom offers of employment are made, who accept such offer of employment within the time period set forth in the offer, and who commence employment as of the Closing Date shall be collectively referred to as the “Transferred Employees.”

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.9(a), in the case of any Business Employee to whom an offer is made and who is on inactive status or otherwise absent from employment on the Closing Date, such offer shall be binding on Purchaser and such Business Employee shall have up to six (6) months after the Closing Date to report to Purchaser for active work, provided that such Business Employee provides acceptable medical, military or other type of release for regular work or work with reasonable accommodation, unless a longer period of leave is required under applicable Law as determined by Purchaser. Such individual who has fulfilled the requirements of this Section 6.9(b) shall be deemed to commence employment with Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof as of the date he or she commences active work with Purchaser and shall become a Transferred Employee as of such date.

(c) Purchaser shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each Transferred Employee for a period of one year following the Closing Date (or, except in the case of clause (iii), if earlier, until any termination of such Transferred Employee’s employment with Purchaser or an Affiliate), or such longer period of time required by applicable Law, (i) base salary or wages, (ii) commissions, annual bonus and annual incentive pay opportunities, (iii) severance benefits and (iv) other aggregate employee benefits (excluding any defined benefit pension plans, retiree medical benefits, long-term incentive awards, and change in control, transaction, retention or similar payments) that in each case are no less favorable than those provided to similarly-situated employees of Purchaser (or its applicable Affiliate employing the Transferred Employees); provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not have any obligation to issue, or adopt any plans or arrangements providing for the issuance of, shares of capital stock, warrants, options or other rights in respect of any shares of capital stock of any entity or any securities convertible or exchangeable into such shares pursuant to any such plans or arrangements.

(d) For purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual (other than accruals under a defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical plan) under the employee benefit plans of Purchaser providing benefits to Transferred Employees (the “Purchaser Plans”), Purchaser shall credit each Transferred Employee with his or her years of service with the Seller Group and any predecessor entities, to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled immediately prior to the Closing to credit for such service under any similar Seller Plan. Purchaser shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that Purchaser Plans shall not deny Transferred Employees coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions and, subject to sufficient documentation provided by Seller to Purchaser, shall credit such Transferred Employees for any deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid in the year of initial participation in Purchaser Plans.

(e) Purchaser shall be responsible for and pay all medical, life insurance, disability and other welfare plan expenses and benefits for each Transferred Employee with respect to claims incurred by such Transferred Employees or their covered dependents after the Closing Date.

53

(f) Subject to and effective upon the Closing, Seller and each of its Affiliates shall be deemed to have released each individual who becomes a Transferred Employee from any non-competition, non-solicitation or similar restriction to which such Transferred Employee is subject, whether pursuant to a contractual arrangement or otherwise (the “Restrictive Covenants”); provided, such release shall only apply in respect of services being provided to Purchaser and its Affiliates. To the extent requested in writing by Purchaser, Seller shall provide written documentation evidencing the release of any or all Transferred Employees from such Restrictive Covenants and deliver such documentation to Purchaser reasonably promptly following such written request (but in no event later than the later of (i) ten (10) Business Days following such written request and (ii) the Closing). In connection with the foregoing, following the Closing, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any right or cause of action against Purchaser or the Transferred Employees pursuant to such Restrictive Covenants in connection with Purchaser’s employment of the Transferred Employees.

(g) With respect to any accrued but unused vacation time and sick leave to which any Transferred Employee is entitled pursuant to the vacation and sick leave policy applicable to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall allow such Transferred Employee to use such accrued vacation and sick leave following the Closing Date (provided that such accrued vacation and sick leave shall not be duplicative of the vacation and sick leave policy of Purchaser). Purchaser shall permit each Transferred Employee to accrue additional vacation and sick leave in accordance with the vacation and sick leave policy of Purchaser (provided that such participation does not result in duplicative benefits with any vacation or sick leave accrued as of immediately prior to the Closing Date).

(h) Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended to confer on any Person other than the Parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Section 6.9, and no individual shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary with respect to this Section 6.9. Nothing contained in this Section 6.9 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the termination of employment of any individual Transferred Employee or any change in the employee benefits available to any individual Transferred Employee in a manner consistent with this Section 6.9.

6.10 Quality of Earnings.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, Seller will engage PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or another internationally recognized and mutually agreeable accounting firm (the “QOE Firm”) to conduct and prepare a quality of earnings analysis and report for the Business for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2023, or other similar report (the “QOE Report”) showing (i) EBITDA for such period, (ii) Deferred Revenue as of the end of such period; and (iii) Working Capital as of the end of such period; provided, that, in no event shall Deferred Revenue be included in the determination of Working Capital. The QOE Report shall be conducted and prepared on the basis and scope as mutually determined by Seller and Purchaser (which shall include a report on the EBITDA, Deferred Revenue and Working Capital for the Business). Seller agrees to cooperate and assist with the QOE Firm as may be reasonably requested to conduct and prepare its analysis and the QOE Report.

54

(b) Seller will request that the QOE Firm complete the QOE Report as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event, within thirty-five (35) days after the date hereof, and, upon receipt of the QOE Report from the QOE Firm, Seller will promptly provide Purchaser a copy of the QOE Report.

(c) Absent manifest error, EBITDA for the Business for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2023, as reported in the QOE Report shall be the “QOE EBITDA” and shall be final and binding upon the parties.

6.11 Financing Cooperation Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Seller shall, shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its other representatives to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide cooperation reasonably requested by Purchaser that is necessary and customary for the arrangement of any Debt Financing.

Seller shall perform such Services in a manner such that the Services are substantially the same as the quality and level of service of the equivalent services that were provided by or on behalf of Seller or its Affiliates to the Business during the twelve (12) months prior to the Closing.

(c) With respect to such Services to be provided by Purchaser to Seller, such Services shall include those Services that were provided by the Business Employees to Seller or its Affiliates (other than in connection with the Business) during the twelve (12) month period prior to the date hereof and such other services as the parties otherwise agree. To the extent a Service being provided under the Transition Services Agreement was not previously provided by, or caused to be provided by, the Business Employees to Seller or its Affiliates, the Seller and Purchaser agree such Services shall be billed at a time and materials rate to be reasonably negotiated. Purchaser shall perform such Services in a manner such that the Services are substantially the same as the quality and level of service of the equivalent services that were provided by or on behalf of the Business Employees to Seller or its Affiliates during the twelve (12) months prior to the Closing.

55

(d) Seller and Purchaser make such amendments and modifications to the Schedules to the Transition Services Agreement as may be necessary to include the services identified pursuant to Sections 6.12(b) and 6.12(c) as Seller Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) or Buyer Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement), as the case may be.

After the Closing, Purchaser will reasonably assist and cooperate with the Seller in preparing and filing of such Property Tax Returns. The Seller shall provide Purchaser with completed drafts of such Property Tax Returns for Purchaser’s review and reasonable comment at least 30 days prior to the due date for the filing thereof, taking into account

57

extensions (or, if such due date is within 30 days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date) and shall make such revisions to such Property Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Purchaser; provided, that Purchaser’s requests are consistent with the prior practice of the Seller Group (to the extent relevant) and comply with applicable Law. To the extent Purchaser is required by applicable Law to file any such Property Tax Returns, Purchaser shall cause all such Property Tax Returns received from the Seller to be duly executed (as may be required) and timely filed (taking into account all extensions properly obtained).

(b) Purchaser shall prepare and timely file or cause to be prepared and timely filed (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all Property Tax Returns for Straddle Periods that are required to be filed after the Closing and shall timely pay, or cause to be timely paid, the amount of any Taxes due thereon. Purchaser shall prepare such Property Tax Returns in a manner consistent with past practice to the extent relevant and consistent with applicable Law and shall provide the Seller with completed drafts of such Property Tax Returns for the Seller’s review and reasonable comment at least 30 days prior to the due date for filing thereof, taking into account extensions (or, if such due date is within 30 days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date) and shall make such revisions to such Property Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by the Seller, provided such requests are consistent with the prior practice of the Seller Group (to the extent relevant) and comply with applicable Law.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Transferred Asset, the Seller and Purchaser shall apportion the liability for Property Taxes for any Straddle Period applicable to such Transferred Asset in accordance with this Section 7.3(c). The Property Taxes described in this Section 7.3(c) shall be apportioned between the Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date, with Purchaser liable for that portion of the Property Taxes for a Straddle Period (i) with respect to any Property Taxes that are ad valorem taxes imposed on a periodic basis, equal to the Property Taxes for such Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in such Straddle Period after the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such entire Straddle Period or (ii) with respect to any other Property Taxes, allocated to the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date. The Seller shall be liable for that portion of the Property Taxes for a Straddle Period for which Purchaser is not liable under the preceding sentence. The party responsible under applicable Law for paying a Tax described in this Section 7.3(c) shall be responsible for administering the payment of such Tax. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not make or change any Tax election, amend, refile or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any statute of limitation with respect to) any Tax Return, or take any other action that could cause or result in an increase in any Tax Liability or reduce any Tax benefit in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period relating to the Seller Group or the Business without the prior written consent of the Seller.

(d) Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller in writing upon receipt by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits, proceedings or assessments relating to Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period relating to a Property Tax for which any Seller Group Member may be liable (a “Seller Tax Claim”).

58

(e) The Seller shall have the sole right to control the defense or resolution of any Seller Tax Claim relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and Purchaser shall have the sole right to control the defense or resolution of any Seller Tax Claim relating to a Straddle Period, including, in each case, to employ counsel of the controlling party’s choice at its expense; provided, however, that the non-controlling party and its representatives shall be permitted, at their expense, to observe and participate in any defense or resolution of any Seller Tax Claim that it is not entitled to control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the prior written consent of the non-controlling party, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, denied or delayed, the controlling party shall not agree or consent to compromise or settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any issue or claim in a Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding it controls hereunder to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement may affect the Tax liability of the non-controlling party or any of its Affiliates for which the controlling party is not responsible hereunder.

(f) After the Closing, each of the Seller and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to):

(i) cooperate in preparing for and defending any audits or proceedings of or disputes with Governmental Authorities regarding any Tax Returns required to be filed by, or Taxes related to the Transferred Assets or the Business due from, the Seller for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period;

(ii) maintain and preserve until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations, and make available to the other parties as reasonably requested and to any Governmental Authority as reasonably required, all information, records and documents relating to Taxes related to the Transferred Assets or the Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, and make employees available to the other parties as reasonably requested during business hours to supplement or explain such information, records and documents; and

(iii) furnish the other parties with copies of all correspondence received from any Governmental Authority in connection with any Tax audit, proceeding, assessment or information request relating to Taxes related to the Transferred Assets or the Business for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, and furnish the other parties with copies of all records and documents relating to Taxes related to the Transferred Assets or the Business for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period that are proposed to be destroyed (and not otherwise in the possession of such other party).

(g) Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Seller the amount of any refunds of Taxes that are Excluded Liabilities paid by the Seller. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts, at Seller’s expense, to take any action reasonably requested by the Seller in wiring to pursue any claims for such refunds of the Seller. Purchaser shall make payment of any such refunds described in this Section 7.3(g), net of any reasonable costs (including Taxes) incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates in obtaining such refunds, to the Seller within five days of receipt of the refund. If, in lieu of receiving any such refund, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates reduces a liability for Taxes with respect to a taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to the Seller the amount of such reduction in liability for Taxes.

59

(h) In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 7.3 and the any other Section of this Agreement, this Section 7.3 shall govern and control with respect to Tax matters.

7.4 Damage or Destruction. Until the Closing, the Transferred Assets shall remain at the risk of Seller. In the event of any material damage to or destruction of any of the Transferred Assets after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, the Seller shall give notice thereof to Purchaser. If any damage or destruction of any Transferred Assets is covered by policies of insurance, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts (a) to file, prior to the Closing Date, claims with respect to such damage or destruction under any insurance policy covering such Transferred Assets and (b) to resolve such claims as promptly as reasonably practicable. If any such damage or destruction is not repaired or replaced by a similar facility in reasonable proximity to any former facility, all right and claim of the Seller to any proceeds of insurance for such damage or destruction of any Transferred Assets shall be assigned and (if previously received by the Seller and not used prior to the Closing Date to repair any damage or destruction) paid to Purchaser at Closing.

64

9.3 Breakup Fee; Expense Reimbursement. If this Agreement (a) is terminated pursuant to Sections 9.1(b), 9.1(c), 9.1(e), 9.1(f), 9.1(h), 9.1(i), 9.1(j) or 9.1(m) and (b) at the time of such termination, Seller was not then able to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(k), then Seller shall promptly pay to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds, a termination fee in an amount equal to $12,000,000 (the “Breakup Fee”) and the Purchaser Expense Reimbursement; provided, however, that (i) if this Agreement has been terminated and, at the time of such termination, Purchaser or Seller has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(l) or (ii) if this Agreement has been terminated pursuant Section 9.1(m) and, at the time of such termination, the condition set forth in Section 8.1(a) has not been satisfied, then, in either case, the Breakup Fee and the Purchaser Expense Reimbursement shall not be payable.

ARTICLE 10

GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their term are to be performed in whole or in part, or which prohibit actions, subsequent to Closing shall, solely to the extent such covenants and agreements are to be performed, or prohibit actions, subsequent to Closing, survive the Closing in accordance with their terms until fully performed or satisfied. All other covenants and agreements contained herein, and all representations and warranties contained herein or in any certificated deliveries hereunder shall not survive Closing and shall therefor terminate, including any Action for damages in respect of any breach or inaccuracy thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 2.9(c), Section 6.2(c), Article 7, Section 9.2, Section 9.3 (if applicable), this Article 10 and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the Closing.

10.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents, contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, arrangements, contracts, discussions, negotiations, undertakings and understandings (including any letters of intent or term sheets), whether written or oral, among the parties with respect to such subject matter (other than the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents) or any prior course of dealings. The parties hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, Liabilities and obligations respecting

65

the Transactions exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents, and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents. Furthermore, the parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents embody the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations, and all parties to this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary purchaser and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction. The sole and exclusive remedies for any Related Claims shall be those remedies available at law or in equity for breach of contract only (as such contractual remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement); and the parties hereby agree that neither party hereto shall have any remedies or cause of action (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise) of any statements, communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, representations or warranties not set forth in this Agreement.

10.3 Amendment; No Waiver. This Agreement and the Related Documents may be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof or thereof can be waived, only by a written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement (and, if applicable, the Related Documents) executed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. The waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement or the Related Documents shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

10.4 Severability; Specific Versus General Provisions. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the Related Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement or the Related Documents is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement and the Related Documents shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, in whole or in part, such term or provision is hereby deemed modified to give effect to the original written intent of the parties to the greatest extent consistent with being valid and enforceable under applicable Law. No party hereto shall assert, and each party shall cause its respective Affiliates or related parties not to assert, that this Agreement or any part hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent that a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Seller contained in this Agreement or the Schedules (each, a “Provision”) addresses a particular issue with specificity (a “Specific Provision”), and no breach by the Seller exists under such Specific Provision, the Seller shall not be deemed to be in breach of any other Provision (with respect to such issue) that addresses such issue with less specificity than the Specific Provision, and if such Specific Provision is qualified or limited by the Seller’s Knowledge, or in any other manner, no other Provision shall supersede or limit such qualification in any manner.

66

10.5 Expenses and Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred by the parties hereto in connection with the Transactions, including the costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel and accountants, shall be borne solely and entirely by the party that has incurred such expenses; provided, however, that Purchaser shall pay, or promptly reimburse the Seller for, any filing fees which relate to any required governmental filing or notification, including filing fees under the HSR Act.

10.6 Notices. All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement or the Related Documents must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) if personally delivered, on the date of delivery, (b) if delivered by express courier service of national standing for next day delivery (with charges prepaid), on the Business Day following the date of delivery to such courier service, (c) if delivered by electronic mail (unless the sender receives an automated message that the email has not been delivered) on the date of transmission if on a Business Day before 5:00 p.m. local time of the business address of the recipient party (otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day) and (d) if deposited in the United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, on the date of delivery, in each case to the appropriate addresses or email addresses set forth below (or to such other addresses or facsimile numbers as a party may designate by notice to the other parties in accordance with this Section 10.6):

10.9 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Without limiting any party’s right to appeal any Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (i) the Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to interpret and/or enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any Related Document, any breach or default hereunder or thereunder, or the Transactions, and (ii) any and all proceedings related to the foregoing shall be filed and maintained only in the Bankruptcy Court, and the parties hereby consent to and submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court and shall receive notices at such locations as indicated in Section 10.6; provided, however, that if the Bankruptcy Cases have closed, the parties agree to irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas over all Related Claims, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all Related Claims may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Related Claim brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

68

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any Related Claim by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (other than by email) along with a notification that service of process is being served in conformance with this Section 10.9(b). Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATED DOCUMENTS OR ANY RELATED CLAIMS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING OR RELATED CLAIM BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST IT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATED DOCUMENTS OR ANY RELATED CLAIMS.

10.11 Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies of each of the parties under this Agreement and the Related Documents will be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement, the Related Documents or applicable Law.

10.12 Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors by operation of law and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. No assignment of this Agreement or any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be made by any party hereto at any time, whether or not by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the Seller and Purchaser, and any attempted assignment without the required consent shall be void; provided, however, that (a) Purchaser may assign (i) any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates, and (ii) its rights, but not its duties, under this Agreement to any of its financing sources and (b) the Seller may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement (i) to any of its Affiliates and (ii) for collateral security purposes to any lender of the Seller or its Affiliates; provided, further, however, that, in each case, such assignment shall not release Purchaser from its obligations under this Agreement and the Seller shall have no obligation to pursue remedies against any assignee of Purchaser before proceeding against Purchaser for any breach of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

10.13 Specific Enforcement; Remedies. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage (for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy) would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that (i) Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction without proof of damages or

69

otherwise and that this shall include the right of the Seller to cause Purchaser to fully perform the terms of this Agreement to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to this Agreement and applicable Laws and to thereafter cause this Agreement and the Transactions to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto set forth in this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither the Seller nor Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement. Remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby (A) waives any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate, (B) waives any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief and (C) agrees not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall this Section 10.13 be used, alone or together with any other provision of this Agreement, to require the Seller to remedy any breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller.

10.14 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Article 2 (with respect to the Seller), Section 9.2(b) (with respect to the released parties identified therein), Section 10.15 (with respect to the Nonparty Affiliates), Section 10.16 (with respect to the released parties identified therein), Section 10.17 (with respect to the Sellers’ Group Members) and the next sentence, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. From and after the Closing, all of the Persons identified as third-party beneficiaries in the first sentence of this Section 10.14 shall be entitled to enforce such provisions and to avail themselves of the benefits of any remedy for any breach of such provisions, all to the same extent as if such Persons were parties to this Agreement. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with this Agreement without notice or Liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any party hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

10.15 No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers and Owners. All Related Claims may be made only against (and are those solely of) the entities that are expressly identified as parties in the preamble to this Agreement (each, a “Contracting Party,” and collectively, the “Contracting Parties”). No Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, or any financial advisor or lender to, any Contracting Party, or any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, or any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (each, a “Nonparty Affiliate,” and collectively, “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any Liability pursuant to any Related Claim; and,

70

to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such Liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, (a) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at Law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose Liability of a Contracting Party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise; and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement or the Related Documents.

10.16 General Release.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, the Seller, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and each of their respective successors and assigns (each of the foregoing, a “Seller Releasing Party”), hereby fully, irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Purchaser and its respective past and present directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, stockholders, members, representatives and Affiliates from and against, and covenants that it will not (directly or indirectly) assert any claim or proceeding of any kind before any Governmental Authority based upon, any and all claims, Actions, causes of action, suits, rights, debts, agreements, Losses and demands whatsoever and all consequences thereof, known or unknown, actual or potential, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, both in law and in equity, whether existing as of the Closing or arising thereafter, that a Seller Releasing Party has or may have, now or in the future, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any act or omission, error, negligence, breach of contract, tort, violation of law, matter or cause whatsoever from the beginning of time to the Closing Date. The foregoing sentence shall not be deemed to be a release or waiver by a Seller Releasing Party of any Action it may have (i) under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents or (ii) as a trade counterparty of any of Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(b) Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and each of their respective successors and assigns (each of the foregoing, a “Purchaser Releasing Party”), hereby fully, irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Seller, its Affiliates and its and their respective past and present directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, stockholders, members, representatives and Affiliates from and against, and covenants that it will not (directly or indirectly) assert any claim or proceeding of any kind before any Governmental Authority based upon, all claims, Actions, causes of action, suits, rights, debts, agreements, Losses and demands whatsoever and all consequences thereof, known or unknown, actual or potential, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, both in law and in equity, whether existing as of the Closing or arising thereafter, that a Purchaser Releasing Party has or may have, now or in the future, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any act or omission, error, negligence, breach of contract, tort, violation of law, matter or cause whatsoever from the beginning of time to the Closing Date. The foregoing sentence shall not be deemed to be a release or waiver by a Purchaser Releasing Party of any Action it may have (i) under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents or (ii) as a trade creditor of any member of the Seller Group.

71

10.17 Legal Representation. Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the Law Firm has represented the Seller Group in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Related Documents and the consummation of the Transactions, and that the Seller, its Affiliates and its partners, officers, directors and representatives (each, a “Seller Group Member,” and collectively, the “Seller Group Members”) have a reasonable expectation that the Law Firm will represent them in connection with any Action involving any Seller Group Member, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and representatives (each, a “Purchaser Group Member,” and collectively, the “Purchaser Group Members”), on the other hand, arising under this Agreement, the Related Documents or the Transactions. Purchaser hereby, on behalf of itself and the other Purchaser Group Members, irrevocably: (a) acknowledges and agrees that any attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege, work product or other attorney-client or solicitor-client confidential information (“Attorney-Client Information”) arising from communications prior to the Closing between any Seller (including any one or more officers, directors or stockholders of such Seller), on the one hand, and the Law Firm, on the other hand, are not included in the property, rights, privileges, powers, franchises and other interests that are possessed by or vested in the Business or the Transferred Assets, that any such Attorney-Client Information shall be deemed property of, and controlled solely by, such Seller for the benefit and on behalf of the Seller Group Members and, upon request, convey and transfer any Attorney-Client Information to the Seller; (b) acknowledge and agree that the Seller Group Members shall have the right to retain, or cause the Law Firm to retain, any such documentation or information in the possession of the Law Firm or such Seller Group Members at the Closing; (c) agree not to access, retain or use any documentation or information constituting Attorney-Client Information and that no Purchaser Group Member shall have any right to waive any attorney-client privilege or other right to confidentiality with respect to such Attorney-Client Information; (d) disclaim the right to assert a waiver by any Seller Group Member with regard to the attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege or other right to confidentiality with respect to such Attorney-Client Information solely due to the fact that such documentation or information is physically in the possession of Purchaser after the Closing; (e) consent to the Law Firm’s representation after the Closing of any Seller Group Member in any Action that may relate to a Purchaser Group Member or the Transactions and consent to and waive any conflict of interest arising therefrom without the need for any future waiver or consent; and (f) consent to the disclosure by the Law Firm to any Seller Group Member of any documentation or information obtained by the Law Firm during the course of its representation of Seller or any Affiliate prior to the Closing, whether related to this Agreement, the Related Documents, the Transactions or otherwise, whether or not such disclosure is made prior to or after the Closing and whether or not the documentation or information disclosed is subject to any attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege or confidentiality obligation to any Seller, any Affiliate of such Seller or any other Person. In the event that any Action arises after the Closing between any Purchaser Group Member and a Person other than a Seller Group Member, such Purchaser Group Member shall not disclose any documentation or information that is subject to an attorney-client privilege or other rights of confidentiality referenced in this Section 10.17 without the prior written consent of the applicable Seller; provided, however, that if such Purchaser Group Member is required by judicial order or other legal process to make such disclosure, such Purchaser Group Member shall promptly notify the applicable Seller in writing of such requirement (without making disclosure) and shall provide such Seller with such cooperation and assistance as shall be necessary to enable such Seller to prevent disclosure by reason of such attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege or other rights of confidentiality. This Section 10.17 is for the benefit of the Seller Group Members and such Persons are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 10.17.

Execution Version

AMENDMENT TO ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT TO ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 1, 2024 is entered into by and between Zinnia Distributor Solutions LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with one or more of its Affiliates to whom rights hereunder have been validly assigned, the “Purchaser”), and Ebix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the APA (as defined below).

RECITALS

Purchaser and Seller are party to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2023 (the “APA”);

Section 10.3 of the APA permits amendments to the APA if in writing and executed by Purchaser and Seller; and

Purchaser and Seller desire to amend the terms of the APA on the terms and conditions stated herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as set forth below.

“Tax Holdback Amount” means an amount equal to $8,000,000.

“Estimated Purchase Price” means (a) the Base Amount, plus (b) the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Working Capital is greater than the Target Working Capital, minus (c) the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital, minus (d) Estimated Deferred Revenue, minus (e) the Adjustment Escrow Amount, and minus (f) the Tax Holdback Amount.

“(a) At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide Seller an allocation of the amounts required to be paid by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.9(a) among the Seller and each Subsidiary transferring assets hereunder (the “Closing Payment Allocation Schedule”). In the event the Seller notifies Purchaser that it disagrees with the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule delivered by Purchaser within three (3) days of delivery of the Closing Payment

Allocation Schedule by Purchaser, Purchaser and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such disputed items as promptly as practicable; provided that, if the Seller does not deliver a notice of disagreement to Purchaser within three (3) days of delivery of the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule by Purchaser, the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule delivered by Purchaser shall be final. If Purchaser and the Seller are unable to reach agreement with respect to the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule within three (3) days after the delivery of the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule by Purchaser to the Seller, the parties shall submit the dispute to the Bankruptcy Court for final resolution. Within 90 days following the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a schedule allocating the Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities, and all other amounts treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes (collectively, the “Tax Consideration”) among the Transferred Assets (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule shall be reasonable, shall be prepared in accordance with (and to the extent necessary to comply with) Section 1060 of the IRC Code and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder and shall be consistent with the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, within thirty (30) days following the Closing, Seller delivers to Purchaser a valuation report prepared by a third party valuation expert, and such report, directly or indirectly, reasonably allocates the Tax Consideration among the Seller and each Subsidiary transferring assets under this Agreement in a manner that is materially different than the schedule previously provided by Purchaser to Seller which is attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement, which previously provided schedule, pursuant to the preceding sentence, constitutes the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule, then Purchaser will consider such report in good faith and, if the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, agrees to any adjustments, the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule may be adjusted as so agreed by the Purchaser in which case the adjusted Closing Payment Allocation Schedule shall be utilized for purposes of determining the Allocation Schedule. In the event the Seller notifies Purchaser that it disagrees with the Allocation Schedule delivered by Purchaser within fifteen (15) days of delivery of the Allocation Schedule by Purchaser, Purchaser and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such disputed items as promptly as practicable; provided that, if the Seller does not deliver a notice of disagreement to Purchaser within fifteen (15) days of delivery of the Allocation Schedule by Purchaser, the Allocation Schedule delivered by Purchaser shall be final. If Purchaser and the Seller are unable to reach agreement with respect to the Allocation Schedule within 30 days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule by Purchaser to the Seller, the parties shall submit the dispute to the Bankruptcy Court for final resolution. The Seller and the Purchaser shall submit the relevant information, books and records, as applicable, and all other data necessary for, or requested by, the Bankruptcy Court to make its determination. The determination of the Bankruptcy Court solely in respect of the specifically disputed items shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the Allocation Schedule shall be revised solely to reflect such determinations, and thereafter such revised Allocation Schedule shall be deemed agreed to by the parties. The parties shall be bound by the agreed (or deemed agreed) Allocation Schedule (as adjusted pursuant to the prior sentence), and the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, report, act and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such allocation.
