If, with respect to any Subadvised Fund, any modifications are required to the Consent process for such Subadvised Fund as outlined in this Section 5.07(b) or any form of Consent, the Seller shall, and shall cause Scout to, promptly notify the Purchaser regarding the modifications (if the Purchaser’s representatives do not join Scout in their discussions with the investment adviser or the board of directors / trustees of such Subadvised Fund), and the Purchaser and Scout shall work with such investment adviser or such board of directors / trustees in good faith to reach a mutually acceptable plan for making, giving, or obtaining any such Consents.

(c) Notices to Other Clients. Promptly following the date of this Agreement, the Seller shall cause Scout to send a Consent notice, in each case in a form mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller, to:

(i) those Clients (except Managed Account Sponsors of Managed Account Programs) whose Advisory Agreements require written Consent to be assigned;

(ii) those Clients (except Managed Account Sponsors of Managed Account Programs) whose Advisory Agreements require Consent, but not written Consent, to be assigned (“Implied Consent Clients”);

(iii) those Clients which are Managed Account Sponsors of Managed Account Programs (which, among other things, shall request: (A) each Managed

- 59 -

Account Sponsor’s Consent; and (B) that such Managed Account Sponsor notify and, to the extent necessary under applicable Law or required by such Managed Account Sponsor, obtain the Consent of, the Clients whose accounts are advised or sub-advised by Scout through the such Managed Account Sponsor’s Managed Account Program);

(iv) the designated management company for the Collective Fund; and

(v) the members of each Private Fund.

Each Consent notice delivered under this Section 5.07(c) shall: (I) inform the applicable Client of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which would result in “assignment” (as defined under the Advisers Act and/or under such Client’s Advisory Agreement, as applicable) of such Client’s Advisory Agreement: and (II) without limiting the immediately succeeding paragraph, request the written consent or approval of such “assignment” (or any additional or alternative consent or approval as required by the Advisory Agreement or applicable Law).

The parties hereto agree that: (A) notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and any applicable Advisory Agreement, the Consent of any applicable Client may be obtained through the use of a negative Consent pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.07 and such Client shall be a Consenting Client for purposes of this Agreement: (x) upon receipt of a written consent requested in the Consent notice to such Client; or (y) if no such written consent is received, if 60 days shall have passed since the sending of such Consent notice to such Client, which such Consent notice shall have informed such Client: (1) of the intention to complete the Transaction, which will result in an “assignment” (as defined in the Advisers Act) of such Client’s Advisory Agreement; (2) of the intention of Scout to continue to provide advisory services pursuant to such Advisory Agreement after the Closing if such Client does not terminate such Advisory Agreement prior to the Closing; and (3) that the consent of such Client will be deemed to have been granted if such Client fails to terminate such Advisory Agreement within 60 days of Scout’s sending of such Consent notice to such Client. From time to time after the 60^th day following the delivery of the Client notice to a Client, the Seller shall assess, and shall consider requests from the Purchaser to assess, whether it would be advisable to send additional notices to such Client (or include additional notices in connection with other communications to such Client) regarding the negative consent such Client has deemed to have granted (it being acknowledged and agreed, however, that the Seller shall be under no requirement to send any such additional notices).

With respect to each Private Fund, such Private Fund shall be a Consenting Client for purposes of this Agreement if the consents and approvals required by the Contracts governing such Private Fund arising in connection with the Transaction (including the “assignment” of the Advisory Agreement with respect to such Private Fund) are duly obtained and remain in effect.

(d) In connection with obtaining Client Consents under this Section 5.07, the Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) drafts of the forms of all consent materials prepared by the Seller or any of its Affiliates to the Purchaser a reasonable time prior to the mailing or distribution of such documents to any Client in order to afford Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents. Such forms of all such consent materials shall be subject to the approval of the Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld,

- 60 -

conditioned, or delayed). The Purchaser shall have the right to review in advance and to approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) all the information relating to it or its Affiliates proposed to appear in: (i) any proxy statement or any amendment or supplement thereto submitted to the SEC or such other applicable Governmental Authority in connection with the approvals contemplated by this Section 5.07; or (ii) any other materials sent or made available to the shareholders or other investors of any Fund in connection with such approvals.

(e) In connection with obtaining Client Consents under this Section 5.07, each party shall keep the other reasonably informed of the status thereof and the Seller shall promptly advise the Purchaser as promptly as practicable if any Client notifies the Seller or any of its Affiliates (or, in the case of a Client which is a Subadvised Fund or the Collective Fund, if the advisor or manager thereof notifies the Seller or any of its Affiliates) orally or in writing that such Client (or the relevant Subadvised Fund board) has not so consented or has terminated, or intends to terminate, its Advisory Agreement, or intends to materially reduce its investment relationship with Scout.

Section 5.08 No Other Negotiations. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX), the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Related Persons not to, and shall instruct its advisors and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, encourage, initiate, continue, or participate or engage in negotiations or discussions with, provide any confidential information or documentation or access to, or approve, recommend, execute, or enter into any letter of intent, purchase agreement, or other similar Contract or understanding with, any Person relating to the possible sale, lease, or other transfer (in whole or part) of any interest in the Business or the Scout Stock, or any merger, sale, consolidation, business combination, or any similar transaction involving the Business or the Scout Group by any Person other than the Purchaser and/or one of its Affiliates (a “Third Party Transaction”). The Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser if any inquiries or proposals are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, any such Person or any of its representatives with respect to a Third Party Transaction. The Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Related Persons to, and shall instruct its advisors and representatives to, immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with any Persons other than the Purchaser and its Affiliates that may be ongoing with respect to any such Third Party Transaction.

- 61 -

restrain the Transaction; or (iii) the occurrence of any event, change, circumstance, fact, or occurrence that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Seller Material Adverse Effect. Such disclosures shall be deemed to amend and supplement the Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, that, in each instance: (A) if any amendment or supplement to the Disclosure Schedule would entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article IX hereof, then, the Purchaser shall have the right to provide the Seller with a termination notice within 30 days following the date upon which the Seller delivered to the Purchaser such amended or supplemented Disclosure Schedule; and (B) whether or not any such amended or supplemented Disclosure Schedule entitles the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement, no such amended or supplemented Disclosure Schedule shall limit, reduce, or otherwise affect the Purchaser’s right to seek indemnification for any Damages arising or resulting from such disclosures (which Purchaser shall have the right to seek as if such disclosures had not been made and such Disclosure Schedules had not been so amended or supplemented).

(b) Following the disclosure by the Seller to the Purchaser of any of the matters set forth in Section 5.09(a), the Seller shall, and shall cause the Scout Group to, upon the Purchaser’s reasonable request: (i) promptly discuss such matters with the Purchaser; (ii) provide the Purchaser with access to the information and other items contemplated by Section 5.02 in connection with its evaluation of such matters; and (iii) regularly update the Purchaser on the status of such matters and, to the extent applicable, the Seller’s and the Scout Group’s activities taken or proposed to be taken to resolve, remedy, or cure such matters as promptly as practicable.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Seller and the Seller Plans shall be solely responsible (and neither Purchaser, Scout nor any of its or their Affiliates shall have any responsibility) for any claims for benefits that were incurred (or attributable to events occurring) before the Closing, whether or not such claims are filed after the Closing.

(b) For a period of one year following the Closing, the Purchaser shall cause the applicable Scout Group Member to (and, as applicable, the Purchaser shall): (i) provide each Continuing Employee with: (A) salary, bonus opportunities, and severance benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing, it being acknowledged and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the bonus opportunities of the Scout Group’s portfolio managers may vary based on the performance of their respective strategies during such one year period; and (B) substantially the same retirement and welfare benefits (not described in (A) above) that the Purchaser offers to its own

- 62 -

employees who are similarly situated to such Continuing Employee, as set forth on Section 5.10(b) of the Disclosure Schedule; and (ii) recognize for all purposes under all applicable benefit plans and compensation plans and programs all service of the Continuing Employees with the Scout Group Members, as applicable, as if such service were with the Purchaser.

(d) The Purchaser shall (and, as applicable, shall cause the Scout Group to) retain its Continuing Employees for such period as may be necessary, when considered together with any employees discharged by Scout and/or Scout Distributors, prior to the Closing, to avoid, with respect to any facility operated by Scout, Scout Distributors, or the Business: a “plant closing,” “mass layoff,” “layoff,” “relocation” or “termination” of “employees” (as those terms are defined in WARN); or any Liability to the Seller under any applicable Law which could arise from any actual or anticipated termination of employees by the Purchaser or the Scout Group after the Closing.

(e) The Purchaser shall have sole Liability for any severance payments and/or similar obligations that are or may become owed or payable to any employee of Scout and/or Scout Distributors who the Purchaser does not offer employment (or continued employment) with the Purchaser, any of its Affiliates and/or the Scout Group as of, and after, the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 5.10 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any employee of either Scout Group Member who is an employee of such Scout Group Member as of the date of this Agreement and who is terminated prior to the Closing Date with the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any Liability for any such payments or similar obligations. The Seller shall have sole Liability for any severance payments and/or similar obligations that are or may become owed or payable to any employee of either Scout Group Member who is hired by such Scout Group Member following the date hereof and prior to the Closing without the written consent of the Purchaser and whose employment is lawfully terminated by the Purchaser or such Scout Group Member prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

(f) Without limiting Section 5.10(e) above, from and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Scout Group to perform all payment and other obligations of each Scout Group Member under all Contracts with the Continuing Employees that do not terminate upon the Closing, including employment, severance payment and other similar Contracts, including the Contracts listed on Schedule 5.10(f) of the Disclosure Schedule, and, for the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly provided herein, neither the Seller nor any of its

For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Seller shall pay or cause each Scout Group Member to pay any and all compensation (including salary, bonuses and employee benefits) earned by Continuing Employees for any period ending on or prior to the Closing and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility for making any such payments, it being acknowledged and agreed that certain of such payments will be made following the Closing (including in accordance with clause (g) below, the Benefits Side Letter and the Employees Side Letter).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) prior to the Closing, Seller shall terminate or cause Scout to terminate the Scout LTIP and, at or as soon as practicable (but not more than five Business Days) after the Closing, Seller shall pay any and all participant account balances and/or other amounts payable to participants under said plan (whether or not previously vested) in full and final satisfaction of such participants’ rights and interest under and with respect to such plan, (ii) Seller shall have the sole obligation to maintain the account balances of, and make payments to, any Continuing Employees participating in the UMB Financial Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, which payments shall be made in accordance with the terms of said plan, and (iii) Seller shall have sole responsibility for paying employees/participants of any Scout Group Member in any other Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan any amounts due or owing or to become due and owing to such employee/participants under any such other plans. Following the Closing, Scout will provide Seller with employee termination information and such other information as the Seller may reasonably request to enable the Seller to satisfy its payment obligations to Continuing Employees under any Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, including, without limitation, the UMB Financial Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any contrary provision contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Section 5.10 shall confer any rights or remedies upon any employee or former employee of Scout, Scout Distributors, any Continuing Employee, or upon any other Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no provision of this Section 5.10 is intended to amend, or to be an amendment to, any of the Plans.

(i) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing (or until the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX), the Seller shall, and shall cause the Scout Group and each of its other Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to lawfully enforce and prosecute all material terms of each employment agreement or similar agreement with employees of Scout or Scout Distributors, including any Key Employee Agreements then in effect, including all material terms relating to post-employment restrictive covenants.

(j) To the extent any of the Retention Arrangements would expire solely as a result of the passage of time between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Seller shall waive any such expiration until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

- 64 -

(k) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that, effective as of the Closing, the Seller intends for each of the Purchaser and each Scout Group Member to be a third party beneficiary to each of the Contracts set forth on Schedule 3.17(j) of the Disclosure Schedule, with all of the Seller’s rights and benefits thereunder and rights of enforcement attendant thereto.

(iv) solicit or induce any Person (other than the Seller and its Affiliates) with the effect or for the purpose of: (A) causing any funds or assets with respect to which Scout provides Investment Advisory Services to be withdrawn from Scout’s provision thereof (other than any such funds or assets of the Seller or any of its Affiliates); (B) causing any Person (other than the Seller and its Affiliates) not to engage Scout or any of its Affiliates to provide Investment Advisory Services for any funds or assets or additional funds or assets; or (C) causing any Person (other than the Seller and its Affiliates) to terminate or diminish its relationship involving Investment Advisory Services with Scout or any of its Affiliates; or

(v) solicit or hire, or attempt to solicit or hire, any Continuing Employee for employment or in any other capacity (including, without limitation, as an independent contractor or consultant); provided, however, that nothing in this clause (v) shall prohibit Seller or any of its Affiliates from: (A) advertising, publishing, or posting open positions in the course of normal hiring practices or otherwise engaging in any other ordinary course hiring practices, such as employee searches by third party search firms, in each case, that are not specifically sent to, or do not specifically target, any Continuing Employees, so long as, subject to clause (B) below, no such Continuing Employee is hired by the Seller or any such Affiliates; or (B) soliciting for employment or hiring any

(f) Except in the case of Fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or willful misconduct, from and after the Closing Date, the exclusive remedy for any Indemnified Party for Damages shall be the indemnification provided under this Article VIII. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall negate a Claim of Fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or willful misconduct against the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, with respect to the representations made by the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, in this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, each warranty made by the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a representation made by such Person for purposes of the foregoing.

Section 8.05 Third-Party Claims.

(a) Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim (other than any Tax Claims), such Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnifying Party of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim; provided, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such Third-Party Claim is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice.

(b) If an Indemnified Party gives notice to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.05(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume, at its own expense, the defense of such Third-Party Claim to the extent that it wishes; provided, that if the Indemnified Party, based in each instance on the reasonable advice of outside counsel, reasonably concludes that there are defenses available to it that are different or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or that the interests of the Indemnified Party may be reasonably deemed to conflict with those of the Indemnifying Party, then, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a single separate counsel (who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) and to participate in the Indemnifying Party’s defense of such Third-Party Claim, with the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred to the extent that they relate to such Third-Party Claim. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, then, subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 8.05(b), the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and, at the Indemnified Party’s own expense, to employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim and shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one primary counsel and one local counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if the Third Party Claim: (i) involves any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation against the Indemnified Party or any of its respective Affiliates; or (ii) would reasonably be expected to result in an injunction against the Indemnified Party or any of its respective Affiliates. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel (one primary counsel and one local counsel) employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third-Party Claim as provided in Section 8.05(a)). No compromise or settlement of, or admission of liability with respect to, such Third-Party Claims may be effected by either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party without the other party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). If notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party does not, within 45 days after the Indemnified

- 84 -

Party’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have waived its right to assume such defense and, subject to the terms and limitations set forth under this Article VIII, will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim and any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Party and shall be responsible for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel (one primary counsel and one local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties as set forth in this paragraph.

(c) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article VIII: (i) both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall, subject to applicable Law, keep the other Person(s) reasonably informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related Claims at all stages thereof where such Person(s) is (are) not represented by its (their) own counsel; and (ii) the parties hereto agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate, in each case in good faith, with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.

(d) Subject to the terms and limitations set forth under this Article VIII, within 20 days following: (i) any final decision, judgment, or award being rendered by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom having lapsed; (ii) a settlement being consummated; or (iii) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party arriving at a mutually binding Contract with respect to a Claim hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to or at the direction of the Indemnified Party, any such amounts due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank accounts or accounts designated by the Indemnified Party.

Section 8.06 Other Claims. A claim for indemnification to the extent not resulting from a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party hereto from whom indemnification is sought and shall be paid promptly after such notice, unless disputed within 45 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such notice, in which case the disputing party may bring an action to enforce its rights in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07.

Section 8.07 Tax Treatment. To the extent permitted by Law, the parties hereto agree to treat all payments made under this Article VIII as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

Section 8.08 Subrogation. The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to any right of action (whether pursuant to contract, arising under applicable Law or otherwise) which the Indemnified Party may have against any other Person with respect to any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.

Section 10.03 Severability.

- 87 -

other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.10 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties hereto agree that, prior to the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX), irreparable damage 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, prior to the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX), the Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without any requirement to post any bond or other security in connection with seeking such relief) in any court of competent jurisdiction and that this shall include the right of the Seller to cause the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the right of the Purchaser to cause the Seller, on the other hand, to fully perform the terms of this Agreement to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to this Agreement and applicable Law and to thereafter cause this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be entitled to any such injunction if: (i) the Seller is then in breach of this Agreement; and (ii) such breach would result in the failure (in whole or in part) of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 to be satisfied; and provided, further, that the Purchaser shall not be entitled to any such injunction if: (A) the Purchaser is then in breach of this Agreement; and (B) such breach would result in the failure (in whole or in part) of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 to be satisfied.

(b) With respect to the specific performance contemplated by clause (a) above:

(i) The parties hereto agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent any such breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent any such breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement; and

(ii) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding relating to this Section 10.10, for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and, for purposes of this Section 10.10, each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01.

Section 10.11 Conflicts and Privilege.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, files maintained by Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP (“Counsel”) and the attorney-client privilege of the Scout Group with Counsel relating to the Transaction shall be deemed to be the right of the Seller, and not that of

- 90 -

the Scout Group, and may be waived only by the Seller, and all other attorney-client privileges of the Scout Group shall be retained by the Scout Group. Following the Closing Date, all communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among Counsel, on the one hand, and the Scout Group and the Seller Transaction Related Parties (as defined below) through the Closing Date, or any of their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, or other representatives, on the other hand, that relate to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Transaction (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client privileged and that the Privileged Communications and the expectation of confidence relating thereto belong solely to the Seller, shall be controlled by the Seller and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Purchaser, the Scout Group, or any of their respective Affiliates.

(b) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, as of immediately prior to the Closing, the Scout Group is the client of Counsel. After the Closing, it is possible that Counsel will represent the Seller and/or their respective Related Persons (individually and collectively, the “Seller Transaction Related Parties”) in connection with matters and/or Claims relating to, or arising out of, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Each of the parties hereto agrees that Counsel may represent the Seller Transaction Related Parties in the future in connection with matters and/or Claims relating to, or arising out of, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Scout Group or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, the Purchaser, the Scout Group, or their respective Affiliates may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Communications to such third party; provided, however, that none of the Purchaser, the Scout Group, or their respective Affiliates may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Seller. In the event that the Purchaser, the Scout Group, or any of their respective Affiliates is legally required by governmental order or otherwise to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Communications, the Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section 10.11) so that the Seller can seek a protective order and the Purchaser agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist therewith, it being acknowledged and agreed that nothing contained in this clause (c) shall be deemed to interfere with the ability of the Purchaser, the Scout Group, or any of their respective Affiliates to comply with any legal requirement or applicable law.

Section 10.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein express or implied shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and such successors and assigns, any rights, claims or benefits or to create or establish any third-party beneficiary hereunder, and no party will incur any Liability or obligation to any third party because of any reliance by that third party on any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement; provided that: (a) each Covered Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of the terms set forth in Section 5.16; and (b) each Indemnified Party shall be a third-party beneficiary of the terms set forth in Article VIII.

Raymond James hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Seller the timely and punctual payment and performance when and as due of all obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement, and shall be liable for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation of the Purchaser under this Agreement. The Seller shall not be required to proceed first against the Purchaser before proceeding against Raymond James in respect of such claims brought pursuant to this Agreement. The obligations of Raymond James shall not be discharged, impaired, or affected in any way, except to the extent that the Purchaser’s obligations would be discharged, impaired, or affected by any act or thing which would operate as a discharge of Raymond James as a matter of law. Raymond James hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of performance, filing of any claim, any right to require any proceeding first against the Purchaser, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever in connection with the performance of its obligations set forth in this Section 10.13.
