SECTION 1.03 Efforts to Obtain Consents; Failure to Obtain Consents; Shared Contracts; Dormant Contracts.

(a) Prior to the Closing, each of Seller and Purchaser will, in cooperation with the other, use its, and cause its affiliates to use their, reasonable best efforts to obtain all consents, approvals and authorizations (each, a “Consent”) from any non-governmental third person necessary or advisable in connection with the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereby and by the Ancillary Agreements, including all Consents required in connection with the transfer or assignment of the Transferred Contracts to Purchaser, provided, that such reasonable best efforts shall not require the payment of any consideration (monetary or otherwise) to, or the concession or provision of any right to, or the amendment or modification in any manner adverse to Purchaser or Seller of any Contract with, any such third person. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall provide the other with any information reasonably requested by the other regarding such efforts to obtain Consents, including the status and substance of any discussions with customers of the Business regarding such Consents or the Acquisition and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to transfer or assign, directly or indirectly, any asset or any claim or right (including any Transferred Contract) or any benefit arising under or resulting from such asset or claim or right if an attempted direct or indirect transfer or assignment thereof, without the Consent of a third party, would constitute a breach, default, violation or other contravention of the rights of such third party, would be ineffective with respect to any party

101951134.15

to an agreement concerning such asset, claim or right, would violate an Applicable Law, or would in any way adversely affect the rights of Seller or any of the Seller Subsidiaries or, upon transfer, Purchaser under such asset, claim or right. If any direct or indirect transfer or assignment by Seller or any of the Seller Subsidiaries to Purchaser, or any direct or indirect acquisition or assumption by Purchaser, of any interest in, or liability, obligation or commitment under, any asset, claim or right requires the Consent of a third party, then such transfer, assignment, acquisition or assumption shall be made subject to such Consent being obtained. Purchaser agrees that, provided that Seller has complied with its obligations in this Section 1.03, and except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement (including Section 1.04(b)(vi)), neither Seller nor any of the Seller Subsidiaries shall have any liability to Purchaser as a result of the failure, in and of itself, to obtain any such Consent that may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) If any such Consent is not obtained prior to the Closing, the Closing shall (subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI) nonetheless take place on the terms set forth herein and, thereafter until any such Consent is obtained, (i) each of Seller and Purchaser shall, in cooperation with the other, continue to use its reasonable best efforts after the Closing to obtain such Consent as promptly as practicable after the Closing, provided, that such reasonable best efforts shall not require the payment of any consideration (monetary or otherwise) to, or the concession or provision of any right to, or the amendment or modification in any manner adverse to Purchaser or Seller of any Contract with, any third person, and (ii) Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate (at their own expense) in any lawful and reasonable arrangement reasonably proposed by Purchaser under which (A) Purchaser shall obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of such third party or violating any Applicable Law) the economic claims, rights and benefits (net of the amount of any related Tax costs imposed on Seller, any of the Seller Subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates) under the asset, claim or right with respect to which the Consent has not been obtained in accordance with this Agreement and (B) Purchaser shall assume any related economic burden (including, without duplication for any Tax offset referred to in clause (A) above, the amount of any related Tax costs imposed on Seller, any of the Seller Subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates) with respect to the asset, claim or right with respect to which the Consent has not been obtained in accordance with this Agreement.

(d) Shared Contracts.

(i) Seller has listed on Section 1.03(d)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule all Transferred Contracts which have rights or obligations affecting both the Business, on the one hand, and other Seller businesses, on the other hand (the “Shared Contracts”). Seller has listed on Section 1.03(d)(iii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule Shared Contracts that are “bundled contracts” under which the customer purchases products and services both from the Business and from other Seller businesses, but where the amount paid by the customer is not allocated between those products and services of the Business and those products and services of the other Seller businesses (such subset of the Shared Contracts, the “Bundled Contracts”).

101951134.15

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Transferred Assets shall include only those provisions and rights under each Shared Contract to the extent that they relate to the Business and are attributable to the period on and after the Closing under a Shared Contract (such provisions and rights, the “Shared Contract Rights”) and the Assumed Liabilities shall include only those provisions and obligations under each Shared Contract to the extent they relate to the Business and are attributable to the period on and after the Closing under a Shared Contract (such provisions and obligations, the “Shared Contract Obligations”). All provisions of, and rights and obligations which arise under, a Shared Contract other than the Shared Contract Rights and the Shared Contract Obligations shall be Excluded Assets and Retained Liabilities.

(iii) Each of Seller and Purchaser will, in cooperation with the other, use its reasonable best efforts both before and after the Closing to effect the assignment of the Shared Contract Rights and the Shared Contract Obligations to Purchaser by, among other things, amending the Shared Contracts to separately assign the Shared Contract Rights and the Shared Contract Obligations to Purchaser and, if necessary or deemed desirable by Seller or Purchaser, to execute new contracts with respect thereto, provided, that such reasonable best efforts shall not require the payment of any consideration (monetary or otherwise) to, or the concession or provision of any right to, or the amendment or modification in any manner adverse to Purchaser or Seller of any Shared Contract with, any third person. Unless otherwise agreed by Purchaser (which such agreement may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion), such amendments and new contracts shall be on pricing terms equal to the terms applicable to the Business under the associated Shared Contract (unless such Shared Contract is a Bundled Contract, in which case such pricing shall be on terms consistent with those set forth in Section 1.03(d)(iii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule) and shall otherwise be on terms and conditions (except for any de minimis changes) no less favorable to Purchaser than the terms and conditions applicable to the Business under the associated Shared Contract.

(iv) After the Closing, with respect to any Bundled Contract that has not been un-bundled (i.e., any Bundled Contract where the customer continues to pay Seller in a manner that does not allocate between the products and services of the Business and the products and services of the other Seller businesses), Seller shall not grant to the customer any credit, rebate or other discount with respect to the products and services of the Business provided thereunder without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(e) Dormant Contracts. Section 1.03(e) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule lists all Contracts of the Business that have generated revenue since January 1, 2015, but that are no longer generating revenue and have become dormant, even though such Contracts have not been terminated as of the date hereof (each such Contract, a “Dormant Contract”). Within 30 days of the date hereof, Seller shall amend Section 1.03(e) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule to list all Contracts of the Business that have generated revenue since January 1, 2014 but that have not generated revenue since January 1, 2015, and have thereby become dormant,

101951134.15

even though such Contracts have not been terminated as of the date hereof (each such Contract, also a “Dormant Contract”). If any Dormant Contract ceases to be dormant (that is, such formerly Dormant Contract generates revenue or costs) following the date hereof (whether prior to or after the Closing), Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such change and the parties shall promptly amend the Transferred Contracts Schedule to add such formerly Dormant Contract. Additionally, at any time (whether prior to or after the Closing), Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable in its reasonable discretion, to elect that any Dormant Contract, for which the related customer is requesting services, be added to the Transferred Contracts Schedule, and upon any such election, the parties shall promptly amend the Transferred Contracts Schedule to add such Dormant Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, any Dormant Contract that is added to the Transferred Contracts Schedule under this Section 1.03(e) shall be deemed a Transferred Contract as of the date hereof for all purposes hereunder (including Sections 1.03(a) through 1.03(c)).

Each of Seller and Purchaser shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act or such other Antitrust Law. In furtherance and not in limitation of the provisions of Section 5.04(a) and this Section 5.04(b), each party shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates to, promptly use its reasonable best efforts to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every impediment and obtain any clearance or approval required under the HSR Act or such other Antitrust Law that may be required by any Governmental Entity for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

On the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver, by remote telecommunication or on such media as the parties may agree, copies of all software (in source and object code form) and tangible embodiments thereof included in the Seller Licensed IP.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby grants and agrees to grant to Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, non-sublicensable and non-assignable (except as provided in Section 5.09(c) and (d)), royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license, in connection with the current and future

101951134.15

operation of their businesses as each may hereafter evolve, to use, reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute or otherwise commercially exploit products that incorporate, and exercise all rights under (i) all Trade Secrets that were used by Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries in connection with their businesses as of or prior to Closing other than the Business and (ii) the software applications (including, where indicated, the source code thereof) set forth on Section 5.09(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Purchaser Licensed IP”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no license is being granted by Purchaser in connection with any Trade Secrets that are exclusively used in the Business.

(c) Notwithstanding the assignment provision in Section 12.01 below, Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, as the case may be, may (i) assign the license set forth in Section 5.09(a) or Section 5.09(b), respectively, in whole or in part to any affiliate, or in connection with a merger, consolidation, or sale of all, or substantially all, of any of the businesses or any material portion of the assets to which the license relates, so long as: (x) the assigning party provides the other party with prompt written notice of such transaction; (y) the assignment shall be expressly limited to (1) with respect to the Purchaser, the Business as it has hereafter evolved at the time of assignment (provided that such limitation shall not apply to Software Applications, subject to the limitations of Section 5.09(a)) and (2) with respect to the Seller or the Seller Subsidiaries, the current businesses of Seller and Seller Subsidiaries as each may hereafter evolve at the time of the assignment (and shall not be deemed to extend to other businesses or affiliates of a successor), provided that no such assignment pursuant to this Section 5.09(c) shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder; and (z) the assignees agree in writing to be bound by the applicable provisions of this Section 5.09; and (ii) assume this license in bankruptcy. In the event of a permitted assignment hereunder, the license granted herein shall bind the parties and their respective successors and assigns to the applicable provisions of this Section 5.09.

(d) Subject to Section 5.09(g), Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, as the case may be, may sublicense the license set forth in Section 5.09(a) or Section 5.09(b), as applicable, to (i) its and their vendors, consultants, contractors and suppliers, in connection with their providing services to Seller or the Seller Subsidiaries, or to Purchaser, as applicable; (ii) its and their distributors, customers and end-users, in connection with the distribution, licensing, offering and sale of the current and future products and services of Seller or the Seller Subsidiaries, or Purchaser, as applicable, but in each case of (i) and (ii), not for the independent use of such persons.

(e) The respective licenses granted by Seller and Purchaser hereunder shall be irrevocable and perpetual and shall not be terminable by Seller and Purchaser, as the case may be, and the rights granted under this Section 5.09 shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any material breach of any term of this Section 5.09 by Purchaser (or its affiliates) or Seller (or any of the Seller Subsidiaries), as applicable. In the event of any breach of any provision of this Section 5.09 by Purchaser (or its affiliates) or Seller (or any of the Seller Subsidiaries), the sole remedy of Seller and Purchaser, as the case may be, will be (subject to Section 8.04(d)) to bring an indemnification claim hereunder or an action seeking

101951134.15

monetary damages or injunctive relief that does not involve rescission or termination of the license granted by such party hereunder and such party shall not have, and such party hereby irrevocably waives, the right to seek any remedy that would involve rescission or termination of the licenses granted hereunder.

(f) The parties agree that the Seller Licensed IP and the Purchaser Licensed IP include, where indicated in the applicable Section of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the source code to software that is proprietary to Seller and Purchaser, as applicable (such source code being collectively referred to as the “Licensed Source Code” of the applicable party). Licensed Source Code shall not be disclosed by the applicable licensee to others, in whole or in part, without the prior written permission of the party that owns and is licensing such Licensed Source Code to such party under this Section 5.09; provided, however, that such Licensed Source Code may be disclosed to any permitted sublicensee who is bound by confidentiality undertakings at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 5.09(f). Neither Party (or its affiliates) will have any obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any Licensed Source Code which (i) is lawfully obtained by such party after the Closing Date from a third party having no obligation of secrecy to owning party, (ii) is in the public domain through no act or failure of such party (or its affiliates), or (iii) is independently developed by the applicable licensee entirely from sources other than Licensed Source Code of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the confidentiality obligations contained herein shall not apply to the extent that a party (or any of its affiliates) is required to disclose any Licensed Source Code of the other party by a valid subpoena, order or regulation of a Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over such party its applicable affiliate; provided, however, that such party shall (a) use all reasonable efforts to first notify the other party and allow the other party a reasonable opportunity to prevent or limit such disclosure (either by challenging or squashing any such subpoena, order or regulation or obtaining injunctive relief from, or a protective order with respect to, the obligation to make such disclosure), and (b) reasonably cooperate, at the other party's expense, with the other party's efforts to prevent or limit such disclosure.

(g) The Purchaser Licensed IP is licensed to Seller hereunder on “as is” basis, with all faults. Purchaser hereby disclaims any and all warranties, whether express or implied, including all implied warranties with respect to the Purchaser Licensed IP, including the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries accept all risks associated with the use of Purchaser Licensed IP.

(h) All rights not expressly granted by a party hereunder are reserved to such party. Each party acknowledges and agrees that: (i) except as provided in the Transition Services Agreement or in this Section 5.09, the other party has no training, registration, maintenance, policing, enforcement, support, notification of infringements or related obligations with respect to any Trade Secrets or software licensed hereunder; and (ii) the licenses granted in Section 5.09(a) or Section 5.09(b) do not include any Intellectual Property (including any improvements or other derivative works or improvements to licensed intellectual property), created, invented, developed or acquired by either party after the Closing (and, as between

101951134.15

the parties, all such Intellectual Property developed by or on behalf of a party, is owned by such party).

If any party (the “Indemnified Party”) receives written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding or the assertion of any claim by a third party or the imposition of any penalty or assessment by a third party for which indemnity may be sought under Section 8.01 or 8.02 (a “Third Party Claim”), and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) with written notice of such Third Party Claim, stating the nature, basis and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the relevant notices and documents (including court papers) evidencing such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification

101951134.15

sought and otherwise in reasonable detail; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against the Losses that may result from a Third Party Claim that is exclusively for civil monetary damages at law pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within 20 days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice, who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim. So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance herewith and is diligently defending such claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, (ii) the Indemnified Party may, at its sole cost and expense, retain separate co-counsel (not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party) and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense, (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (A) admit to any wrongdoing or (B) consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim if such judgment or settlement (1) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, or (2) provides for equitable relief or any obligation on the Indemnified Party other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be fully indemnified hereunder, and (iv) all the Indemnified Parties shall fully cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof, including the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms (i) does not admit to or involve a finding of any wrongdoing by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party, (ii) provides for solely the payment of money damages, (iii) obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, and (iv) releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not file any papers, admit any liability with respect to, or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to or otherwise compromise or discharge the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The parties will act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The parties will also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto.

101951134.15

(b) Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. The Indemnified Party will promptly provide the Indemnifying Party with written notice of its discovery of any matter that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from the Indemnified Party, giving rise to the claim of indemnity pursuant hereto, with such written notice stating the nature, basis and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the relevant notices and documents (including court papers) evidencing such matter and the basis for indemnification sought and otherwise in reasonable detail; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party will have twenty (20) days from receipt of any such notice to give notice of dispute of the claim to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation will include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters.

SECTION 8.04 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII, (i) Seller shall not be liable, pursuant to Section 8.01(a), for (x) any Losses suffered by any Purchaser Indemnitee unless the aggregate of all Losses suffered by the Purchaser Indemnitees exceeds, on a cumulative basis, $2,000,000, and then only to the extent of any such excess or (y) any individual items where the Loss relating thereto is less than $25,000 (and such items shall not be aggregated for purposes of the immediately preceding clause (x)), provided, that the limitations of this clause (i) shall not apply with respect to any Losses with respect to (A) any Fundamental Rep or (B) the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 3.07(e) (the “Specified Contracts Rep”); (ii) the aggregate liability of Seller hereunder, pursuant to Section 8.01(a), for Losses suffered by the Purchaser Indemnitees shall in no event exceed $30,000,000, provided, that such cap shall not apply with respect to any Losses with respect to (A) any Fundamental Rep or (B) the Specified Contracts Rep; (iii) neither party hereto shall be liable to the other for punitive damages claimed by such other party (excluding any such damages payable by an Indemnified Party to a third party); (iv) the aggregate liability of Seller pursuant to Section 8.01 shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price; (v) subject to the immediately preceding clause (iv), the aggregate liability of Seller pursuant to Section 8.01(c) shall in no event exceed $25,000,000, and (vi) with respect to Seller’s liability under Section 8.01(c), Seller’s liability shall be determined as follows: (A) Seller shall first satisfy any liability under Section 8.01(c) by returning to Purchaser fees paid by Purchaser under the Transition Services Agreement, and then (B) once all fees paid by Purchaser under the Transition Services Agreement have been returned to Purchaser, Seller shall not have any further liability under Section 8.01(c) until the additional un-indemnified Losses suffered by the Purchaser Indemnitees exceed, on a cumulative basis, $2,000,000 (the “TSA Deductible”), and then Seller shall be liable under Section 8.01(c) to the amount of such excess; provided, however, that the TSA Deductible shall not apply to any claims for

101951134.15

indemnification under Section 8.01(c) for the reimbursement of fees and expenses of third party auditors or accountants that are retained by Purchaser to remedy a material breach by Seller under the Transition Services Agreement of Seller’s financial services and financial reporting obligations.

(b) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other in good faith with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability.

(c) Purchaser acknowledges that it has made its own inquiry and investigation into, and, based thereon and on the representations and warranties of Seller and its affiliates in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and in the schedules, certificates and other documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith, has formed an independent judgment concerning, the Transferred Assets, the Business and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Assumed Liabilities and any other assets, rights or obligations to be transferred hereunder or pursuant hereto. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, (i) other than the representations and warranties of Seller and its affiliates contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith, none of Seller, any of its affiliates or any other person has made any representation or warranty either expressed or implied (A) with respect to the Business, the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements or (B) as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Business, the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements furnished or made available to Purchaser and its representatives, (ii) Purchaser has not relied on any representation or warranty from Seller, any Seller Subsidiary or any other person in determining to enter into this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith, and (iii) other than with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller and its affiliates contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith, Purchaser shall have no claim or right to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII and none of Seller, any of its affiliates or any other person shall have or be subject to any liability to Purchaser or any other person with respect to any information, documents or materials furnished by Seller, any of its affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors to Purchaser and any information, documents or material made available to Purchaser and its representatives in certain “data rooms”, management presentations or any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither Seller nor any of the Seller Subsidiaries makes any representations or warranties relating to the maintenance, repair, condition, design, performance or marketability of any Transferred Asset, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in this

101951134.15

Agreement, it shall obtain rights in the Transferred Assets and the Business in their present condition and state of repair, “as is” and “where is. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that the Business and existing businesses of Purchaser share certain customers, and consequently a breach of any representation or warranty by Seller hereunder could give rise to Losses that are incurred by Purchaser’s other existing businesses; notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that any such Losses incurred by Purchaser’s existing businesses shall not give rise to indemnifiable damages hereunder. Nothing in this paragraph (c) shall or is intended to eliminate, modify or limit in any respect (A) any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Seller and its affiliates in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and any schedule, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith or (B) any claim for fraud by Buyer.

(d) Each of Seller and Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, should the Closing occur, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, the Business, the Transferred Assets, the Excluded Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Retained Liabilities or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Transition Services Agreement (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Seller and Purchaser hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud) Seller or Purchaser or any other Seller Indemnitee or Purchaser Indemnitee may have against the other or any of the other’s affiliates or any of the other’s or the other’s affiliates’ respective directors, officers and employees arising under or based upon this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, any document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, any Federal, state, provincial, local or foreign statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation, common law or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII). Other than with respect to the Transition Services Agreement, this paragraph (d) shall not apply to any of the other Ancillary Agreements.

SECTION 8.05 Calculation of Indemnity Payments; Materiality.

(a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article VIII shall be net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss and (ii) any net cash Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such indemnified amount that is realized in the Tax year of such incurrence or payment, reduced or offset by any Tax detriment actually realized from the receipt of indemnification therefor.

(b) For purposes of (i) determining whether there has been a breach of any representation or warranty subject to indemnification under Section 8.01(a) and (ii) calculating the amount of any Loss arising from such breach, all “material”, “materially”, “in all material respects”, “Business Material Adverse Effect”, and other like qualifications shall be disregarded.

101951134.15

SECTION 8.06 Tax Treatment of Indemnification. For all Tax purposes, Purchaser and Seller agree to treat (and shall cause each of their respective affiliates to treat) any indemnity payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

SECTION 8.07 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive as follows (regardless of whether or not a different survival period may be provided under law):

(a) the representations and warranties in Articles III and IV (other than the Fundamental Reps and Section 3.08 (the “Tax Rep”)) shall survive until the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date;

(b) the Fundamental Reps shall survive indefinitely;

(d) all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive until eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; provided, that any covenant or agreement that contemplates a longer period of survival shall survive as so contemplated (for the avoidance of doubt, this Article VIII (including the parties’ indemnification obligations for Retained Liabilities and Assumed Liabilities) and Article XII shall survive indefinitely);

provided, however, that if a claim is made hereunder prior to the 30th day after expiration of the survival period of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, such item shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.

SECTION 8.08 Escrow. Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from the Escrow Fund the amount of any and all Losses to which any Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII.

ARTICLE IX

Tax Matters

SECTION 9.01 Allocation of Certain Taxes. In the case of any Straddle Period, (a) Property Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that is in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and shall be a Retained Liability, and (b) Property Taxes for the Post-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that is in the Post-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and shall be an Assumed Liability. The party that has the primary obligation to do so

101951134.15

under Applicable Law shall file any Tax Return that is required to be filed in respect of Taxes described in this Section 9.01, and such party shall pay the Taxes shown on such Tax Return. To the extent any such Taxes paid by Purchaser (or any refund of Taxes received by Purchaser) is allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, or any such Taxes paid by Seller (or any refund of Taxes received by Seller) is allocable to the Post-Closing Tax Period, Purchaser or Seller (as applicable) shall pay to the other party such proportionate amount promptly after the payment of such Taxes (or the receipt of any such refund).

SECTION 9.02 Tax Matters.

(a) Within sixty (60) calendar days of the determination of the Purchase Price, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a proposed allocation (the “Allocation”) prepared on a separate basis and for each of Seller and each of the Seller Subsidiaries, and in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as applicable, of the total consideration (including liabilities assumed) among the Transferred Assets. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser’s preparation of the Allocation and timely deliver all documents and other information reasonably requested by Buyer to prepare the Allocation. The Allocation shall become final and binding twenty (20) calendar days after Purchaser provides the Allocation to Seller, unless Seller objects in good faith. In that case, the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon the Allocation. If the parties cannot agree on the Allocation, any unresolved issues shall be referred to a nationally recognized public accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller (or such other expert mutually agreed by the parties) whose determination shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.

(b) Any adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be allocated in accordance with the agreement reached as set forth in this Section 9.02.

(c) Seller (and its affiliates) and Purchaser (and its affiliates) agree to file all Tax Returns consistent with the final version of the Allocation and the forms described in this Section 9.02.

(d) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish Purchaser with copies of all state sales tax exemption certificates in Seller’s and its affiliates’ possession from customers of the Business.

SECTION 9.03 Transfer Taxes.

(a) Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports and forms as may be required in connection with the payment of Transfer Taxes. Seller and Purchaser, as appropriate shall execute and deliver, and Seller shall cause each of the Seller Subsidiaries, as appropriate, to execute and deliver, all instruments and certificates reasonably necessary to enable the other to comply with any filing requirements relating to any such Transfer Taxes.

(b) Purchaser and Seller shall each pay one-half of all Transfer Taxes, and any Transfer Taxes due on the Closing Date shall be paid one-half by each of Purchaser and

101951134.15

Seller on the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller shall use, and Seller shall cause each of the Seller Subsidiaries to use, reasonable efforts to avail itself of any available exemptions from any such Transfer Taxes, and to cooperate with the other parties in providing any information and documentation that may be necessary to obtain such exemption. The party that has the primary obligation to do so under Applicable Law shall file any Tax Return that is required to be filed in respect of Transfer Taxes and except with respect to Transfer Taxes due on the Closing Date such party shall pay the Taxes shown on such Tax Return. To the extent any Transfer Taxes paid by either party (or any refund of Transfer Taxes received by any party) causes such party to pay or bear more (or less) than its allocable share of Transfer Taxes pursuant to this Section 9.03(b), Purchaser or Seller (as applicable) shall pay to the other party, promptly after the payment of such Transfer Taxes (or the receipt of any such refund), such amount as is necessary to cause both parties to have paid or borne their allocable share of Transfer Taxes pursuant to this Section 9.03(b).

(c) Purchaser and Seller agree to provide each other with such information and assistance as is reasonably necessary, including access to records and personnel, for the preparation of any Tax Returns or for the defense of any Tax claim or assessment, whether in connection with an audit or otherwise.

ARTICLE X

Employee Matters

SECTION 10.01 Transferred Employees.

Each Business Employee who accepts an offer of employment from, and commences employment with, Purchaser or any of its affiliates is referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Employee” means an individual whose employment or services relates primarily to the operation of the Business, whether salaried or hourly and including individuals on layoff, or medical, educational, personal, long-term, short-term, disability, family, paid time off or other authorized leave of absence, who is employed with the Business immediately prior to the Closing Date.

SECTION 10.02 Employee Related Liabilities. Purchaser and its affiliates shall not assume any employment-related Liabilities of Seller or any of its affiliates with respect to Business Employees or other employees of Seller.

101951134.15

SECTION 10.03 Participation in Plans. Effective as of the Closing or such other time as they commence employment with Purchaser or an affiliate thereof, the Transferred Employees shall cease to be covered by the Plans.

SECTION 10.04 Non-Solicitation and No-Hire of Transferred Employees. From the date hereof through the third anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause each other Restricted Entity not to, solicit, recruit or hire any Transferred Employee; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit general soliciting or recruiting activity not specifically directed at such persons.

SECTION 10.05 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former employee, director or independent contractor or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Plan or other employee benefit plan for any purpose. Nothing in this Article X shall be construed to (i) limit the right of Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates to amend or terminate any Plan, Purchaser Benefit Arrangement or any other employee benefit plan, to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan, or (ii) require Purchaser or any of its affiliates to retain the employment of any particular Transferred Employee for any fixed period of time following the Closing Date.

ARTICLE XI

Additional Agreements

SECTION 11.01 Publicity. No public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby or by any Ancillary Agreement shall be issued by any party without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the rules or regulations of any United States or foreign securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall allow (to the extent practicable under the circumstances) the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance; provided, however, that each of the parties may make internal announcements to their respective employees that are consistent with the parties’ prior public disclosures regarding the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, further, that Seller shall be permitted to disclose the terms of this Agreement to its affiliates (including any equityholders thereof) on a confidential basis.

SECTION 11.02 Post-Closing Cooperation; Core Ancillary Agreements. After the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other, and shall cause their affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives to cooperate with each other, to ensure the orderly transition of the Business from Seller to Purchaser and to minimize any disruption to the Business and the other respective businesses of Seller and Purchaser that

101951134.15

might result from the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that as of the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any of its affiliates shall have any obligation to provide any support or other services to Purchaser relating to the Business other than those services expressly required to be provided pursuant to (i) the transition services agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Transition Services Agreement”), (ii) the network connectivity agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Network Connectivity Agreement”), and (iii) the agreement with respect to services to be provided to Seller or its affiliates in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Caller Name Services Agreement”) and, together with the Transition Services Agreement and the Network Connectivity Agreement, the “Core Ancillary Agreements”), each of which shall be entered into as of the Closing Date. The parties acknowledge that the terms and conditions of the Core Ancillary Agreements are an essential element of the parties’ decision to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Acquisition, and that the parties would not have agreed to enter into this Agreement was it not for the Core Ancillary Agreements and the covenants and agreements of the parties contained therein.

SECTION 11.03 Post-Closing Information. Following the Closing, upon reasonable written notice to Purchaser, Purchaser shall afford or cause to be afforded to Seller and its affiliates and their employees, counsel, auditors and representatives reasonable access to the personnel, properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records relating to the Business for the pre-Closing period for any reasonable business purpose, including in respect of litigation, insurance matters, financial reporting and accounting of Seller and its affiliates. Following the Closing, upon reasonable written notice to Seller, Seller shall afford or cause to be afforded to Purchaser and its affiliates and their employees, counsel, auditors and representatives reasonable access to the personnel, properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records relating to the Business for the pre-Closing period for any reasonable business purpose, including in respect of litigation, insurance matters, financial reporting and accounting of Purchaser and its affiliates. Nothing contained in this Section 11.03 shall obligate any party or any of their respective affiliates to breach any duty of confidentiality owed to any person whether such duty arises contractually, statutorily or otherwise, or to provide access to the personnel, properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records with respect to any matter covered in the Core Ancillary Agreements or the Transitional Services Agreement, except as expressly set forth in such agreements.

SECTION 11.04 Books and Records.

(a) On the Closing Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter, Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser all original agreements, documents, books, records and files constituting Transferred Assets.

(b) Purchaser shall retain the books and records of the Business existing on the Closing Date for no less than seven (7) years after the Closing Date. To the extent not delivered to Purchaser, Seller shall retain the books and records of the Business existing on the Closing Date for no less than seven (7) years after the Closing Date.

101951134.15

(c) Purchaser recognizes that certain books and records may contain information relating to subsidiaries, divisions or businesses of Seller and its affiliates other than the Business and that Seller and its affiliates may retain copies thereof.

SECTION 11.05 Bulk Transfer Laws. Purchaser hereby waives compliance by Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries with the provisions of any so called “bulk transfer laws” of any jurisdiction in connection with the Acquisition.

SECTION 11.06 Refunds and Remittances; Certain Accounts Receivable.

(a) After the Closing, if Seller or any of its affiliates receive any refund or other amount or asset which is a Transferred Asset or is otherwise properly due and owing to Purchaser or any of its affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Seller promptly shall remit, or shall cause to be remitted, such amount or asset to Purchaser. After the Closing, if Purchaser or any of its affiliates receive any refund or other amount or asset which is an Excluded Asset or is otherwise properly due and owing to Seller or any of its affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser promptly shall remit, or shall cause to be remitted, such amount or asset to Seller. After the Closing, if Purchaser or any of its affiliates receive any refund or other amount or asset which is related to claims (including workers’ compensation), litigation, insurance or other matters for which Seller is responsible hereunder, and which amount or asset is not a Transferred Asset, or is otherwise properly due and owing to Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser promptly shall remit, or cause to be remitted, such amount or asset to Seller. After the Closing, if Seller or any of its affiliates receive any refund or other amount or asset which is related to claims, litigation, insurance or other matters for which Purchaser is responsible hereunder, and which amount or asset is not an Excluded Asset, or is otherwise properly due and owing to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Seller promptly shall remit, or cause to be remitted, such amount or asset to Purchaser.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, the following procedures shall apply in lieu of the foregoing with respect to accounts receivable from customers under the Transferred Contracts:

(i) Each party receiving amounts due to the other party shall, within five (5) business days after the end of each calendar month, deliver a report to the other party detailing the payments received, and indicating the amounts that are due to the other party. The two reports will be reconciled each month with the amounts due to each party netted to establish a net balance owed from one party to the other. Each month, the party owing a net balance to the other party shall transmit to the other party payment for the net balance owed for that month within thirty (30) days after the end of the applicable month. Each party will provide the other party with account information for wire transfers of the payments.

(ii) All amounts received by either party from customers under the Transferred Contracts shall be applied first to the oldest amounts due under such Transferred Contracts, unless otherwise directed or identified by the customer, and

101951134.15

except for customer accounts in dispute as of the Closing Date, as evidenced by notice (whether written or, or the knowledge of Seller, oral) of dispute from the customer received by Seller prior to the Closing Date (the “Disputed Accounts”). At or promptly after the Closing, Seller shall provide notice to Purchaser of all Disputed Accounts involving disputed amounts in excess of $25,000, together with copies of all correspondence between Seller and the customer with respect thereto, if any. All amounts received from customers having a Disputed Account will be applied to the customer’s account as directed or otherwise identified by the customer or as directed by the final order of a court or arbitrator or the binding direction of any other tribunal. Each party will apply the amounts received and owed to it under the Transferred Contracts against the account or claim maintained under those Transferred Contracts and neither party will assert any right of set-off or hold-back or otherwise attempt to apply such received amounts to any amount owed to it by the customer on any non-Transferred Contract account or claim.

(iii) Each party will exercise reasonable and customary diligence with respect to the collection of the accounts receivable due with respect to the Transferred Contracts, but neither party will be required to engage a collection agency or otherwise take extraordinary measures or incur other than reasonable and customary expenses with respect to the collection of such accounts.

For the avoidance of doubt, the terms of this Section 11.06 do not apply to amounts owed or due between Purchaser and Seller under any Ancillary Agreement.

SECTION 11.07 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, from time to time, as and when requested by any party, each party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions, as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the Acquisition, including, in the case of Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries, executing and delivering to Purchaser such assignments, deeds, bills of sale, consents and other instruments as Purchaser may reasonably request.

SECTION 11.08 Non-Competition.

(a) For the period from the Closing Date until the earlier to occur of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the occurrence of an Exit Transaction announced on or after January 1, 2017, Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries and TNS, Inc. (collectively, the “Restricted Entities”) not to, directly or indirectly, engage in the Business or any part thereof in the United States (the “Competing Activities”); provided, however, that the Restricted Entities may own or acquire, directly or indirectly, (A) the securities of any person that engages in any of the Competing Activities if the Restricted Entities do not, directly or indirectly, own more than 5% of the aggregate outstanding equity securities of such person and (B) any person that engages in any of the Competing Activities if such Competing Activities account for less than 10% of the consolidated annual revenues of such person. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein will prohibit any affiliate of Seller that is not a Restricted Entity (including Siris Partners II, L.P.) from engaging, or

101951134.15

owning or acquiring any person that engages, directly or indirectly, in any of the Competing Activities. As used herein, an “Exit Transaction” shall mean any transaction (x) as a result of which Siris Partners II, L.P. and its affiliates shall cease to hold, directly or indirectly, in excess of 50% of the outstanding equity securities of Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries or (y) whereby Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries shall sell to a non-affiliate of Siris Partners II, L.P. all or substantially all of their assets.

(b) Seller acknowledges that the covenants set forth in Section 11.08(a) are an essential element of this Agreement and that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement without the provisions of Section 11.08(a). Seller agrees that the covenants set forth in Section 11.08(a) are reasonable and proper to protect the legitimate interests of Purchaser.

SECTION 11.09 Financial Certification.

SECTION 12.14 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.
