The Company shall prepare the Pre-Closing Statement based on the definitions of Closing Consideration and the components thereof and using the Accounting Methodology. An example Pre-Closing Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit D which calculates the Closing Consideration as if the Closing occurred on the Company Balance Sheet Date. After the delivery of the preliminary Pre-Closing Statement, the Company shall provide Buyer and its representatives reasonable access to the representatives, work papers and other books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and personnel and representatives that Buyer may reasonably require in order to evaluate the preliminary Pre-Closing Statement and the calculations set forth therein.

It is understood and agreed that the EPA Consideration shall not be taken into account in any of the components of the Pre-Closing Statement other than with respect to the calculation of clause (i) of the definition of Closing Consideration. - 13 - (b) Post-Closing Statement . As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Securityholder Representative a statement (the “ Post-Closing Statement ”) setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Closing Consideration (including all components thereof), accompanied by reasonably detailed back-up documentation for such calculations and reasonably detailed reconciliations between the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Estimated Closing Consideration in the Pre-Closing Statement. Buyer shall prepare the Post-Closing Statement based on the definitions of Closing Consideration and the components thereof and using the Accounting Methodology. If Buyer fails to deliver the Post-Closing Statement within ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date, then, the Securityholder Representative may, at the Securityholder Representative’s election, either (i) determine that the calculations of the amounts in the Pre-Closing Statement will be deemed to be the amounts set forth in the Post-Closing Statement, the Final Closing Consideration will be deemed to be the Estimated Closing Consideration, and the Adjustment Surplus and the Adjustment Shortfall will be deemed to be zero (0), and such amounts will be final and binding upon the Parties and the Securityholders for all purposes of this Agreement and not subject to appeal, absent fraud, or (ii) demand Buyer to deliver the Post-Closing Statement within ten (10) Business Days of the Securityholder Representative’s written demand therefor, in which case Buyer shall deliver the Post-Closing Statement on or prior to such tenth (10 th ) Business Day. (c) Review of Post-Closing Statement . The Securityholder Representative may review the Post-Closing Statement for a period of thirty (30) Business Days following its receipt of the Post-Closing Statement (subject to extension as provided for below, the “ Review Period ”).

If the Securityholder Representative disputes the Post-Closing Statement or any part thereof, such statement must include an itemization of the Securityholder Representative’s objections and the reasons therefor (such statement, a “ Dispute Statement ”). Any component of the Post-Closing Statement that is not disputed in a Dispute Statement will be final and binding upon the Parties and the Securityholders and not subject to appeal, absent fraud. If the Securityholder Representative delivers a statement accepting the Post-Closing Statement, the Post-Closing Statement will be final and binding upon the Parties and the Securityholders and not subject to appeal, absent fraud. - 14 - (d) Dispute Resolution . If the Securityholder Representative delivers a Dispute Statement during the Review Period, then Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall meet and attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to the disputed items set forth in the Dispute Statement during the thirty (30) days immediately following Buyer’s receipt of the Dispute Statement or such longer period as Buyer and the Securityholder Representative may mutually agree in writing (the “ Resolution Period ”). Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall set forth in a memorandum signed by Buyer and the Securityholder Representative any such disputed matters that are resolved during the Resolution Period and such memorandum will be final and binding upon the Parties and the Securityholders and not subject to appeal, absent fraud. If Buyer and the Securityholder Representative do not resolve all such disputed matters by the end of the Resolution Period, then Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall submit all items remaining in dispute with respect to the Dispute Statement to Grant Thornton LLP, or if Grant Thornton LLP is unable or unwilling to be engaged or no longer independent at such time, Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall reasonably agree upon another nationally recognized independent accounting firm, or consulting firm with significant arbitration experience related to purchase price adjustments in transactions of a similar size and nature (the “ Accounting Firm ”). The scope of the Accounting Firm’s engagement shall be limited to resolving the disputed items set forth in the Dispute Statement in accordance with, and by application of the terms (including the applicable definitions of) this Agreement, and the Accounting Firm shall have no authority over any other disagreement. Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall cause the Accounting Firm to (w) act as an expert in accordance with this Section 1.14(d) and not as an arbitrator, (x) make all calculations based on the definitions of Closing Consideration and the components thereof and the Accounting Methodology even if there is a discrepancy with GAAP, (y) determine only those items remaining in dispute between Buyer and the Securityholder Representative and (z) only be permitted or authorized to determine an amount with respect to any such disputed item that is either the amount of such disputed item as proposed by Buyer in the Post-Closing Statement or the amount of such disputed item as proposed by the Securityholder Representative in the Dispute Statement or an amount in between the two amounts. Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall enter into a customary engagement letter with the Accounting Firm at the time such dispute is submitted to the Accounting Firm and otherwise cooperate with the Accounting Firm. Each of Buyer and the Securityholder Representative may submit a written statement in support of their respective positions with respect to such disputed items, provide supporting material to the Accounting Firm in defense of their respective positions with respect to such disputed items and submit a written statement responding to the other Party’s position with respect to such disputed items. Subject to customary confidentiality and indemnity agreements, Buyer shall provide the Accounting Firm with access to its and the Surviving Corporation’s respective books, records, personnel and representatives and such other information as the Accounting Firm may require in order to render its determination. Any failure by Buyer to provide any such letter, agreement, statement or information will not prevent the Accounting Firm from proceeding with a determination as provided for herein. Any written submissions to the Accounting Firm must be delivered to each party to the dispute at the same time as submission to the Accounting Firm. Neither the Securityholder Representative nor Buyer may, and the Securityholder Representative and Buyer shall direct their respective Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives not to engage in ex parte discussion with the Accounting Firm. Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall instruct the Accounting Firm to deliver to Buyer and the Securityholder Representative a written determination (including a description of the reasonable basis for its determinations and a worksheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such determination) of the disputed items within thirty (30) days of receipt of the disputed items. Such determination will be final and binding upon the Parties and the Securityholders and not subject to appeal, absent fraud or manifest error. For clarity, the failure of the Accounting Firm to strictly conform to any deadline or time period contained herein will not render the determination of the Accounting Firm invalid and may not be used as a basis for seeking to overturn any determination rendered by the Accounting Firm. The costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Contributing Securityholders), on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if the Securityholder Representative claims the Closing Consideration is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Buyer, and Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Securityholder Representative, and if the Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Buyer $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be allocated forty percent (40%) (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to Buyer and sixty percent (60%) (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Contributing Securityholders). Each of Buyer and the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Contributing Securityholders) shall pay the Accounting Firm the amount allocated to such Party in accordance with the preceding sentence. - 15 - (e) Post-Closing Payments . (i) For purposes of this Agreement, “ Final Closing Consideration ” means the Closing Consideration and each of its components, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.14 . (ii) If the Final Closing Consideration is less than the Estimated Closing Consideration (the amount of such deficit, the “ Adjustment Shortfall ”), then Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after such final determination, provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer from the Adjustment Escrow Fund an amount in cash equal to the lesser of the Adjustment Shortfall and the amount in the Adjustment Escrow Fund. (iii) If the Final Closing Consideration is greater than the Estimated Closing Consideration (the amount of such surplus, the “ Adjustment Surplus ”), then, promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after such final determination, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid the Adjustment Surplus to the Contributing Securityholders (including by depositing the Adjustment Surplus with the Paying Agent with respect to any portion thereof payable to Non-Withholding Securityholders, and, with respect to any portion thereof payable to Withholding Securityholders, to the applicable payroll processor, in each case for further distribution to the Contributing Securityholders) in accordance with Section 1.5(a) and Section 1.9 . The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Adjustment Surplus exceed the Adjustment Escrow Amount. (iv) Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Closing Consideration, provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver all amounts remaining in the Adjustment Escrow Fund after giving effect to the distributions therefrom contemplated by Section 1.14(e)(ii) (the “ Adjustment Escrow Release Amount ”) to the Contributing Securityholders (including by depositing the Adjustment Escrow Release Amount with the Paying Agent with respect to the portion thereof payable to Non-Withholding Securityholders, and, with respect to any portion thereof payable to Withholding Securityholders, to the applicable payroll processor, in each case for further distribution to the Contributing Securityholders) in accordance with Section 1.5(a) and Section 1.9 . - 16 - (v) Recovery from the Adjustment Escrow Fund is the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and its Affiliates for any Adjustment Shortfall and Buyer and its Affiliates will have no recourse against any Securityholder for any such amount. (vi) For clarity, except for fraud committed by a Party, the process set forth in this Section 1.14 is the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative and the Contributing Securityholders, on the other hand, for disputes relating to the Pre-Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Statement, and the calculation of the Closing Cash, the Company Net Working Capital Adjustment, the Company Warehouse Working Capital Adjustment, the Closing Indebtedness and the Third Party Expenses, and no Person will have any other right to any amounts under this Agreement for matters contemplated or covered by this Section 1.14 (except as to the Securityholder Representative with respect to the Contributing Securityholders in accordance with Section 8.4(b) ). (f) Tax Treatment . The Parties shall treat any payment made under this Section 1.14 as an adjustment to the Closing Consideration for Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law. 1.15 Taking of Further Action . If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Article I and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, Buyer and the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in their respective names to take, all such lawful and necessary or desirable action in furtherance thereof so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

Any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information is referred to herein as “ Private Lender Information ” and any Lender that is not a Public Lender is referred to herein as a “ Private Lender ”. The information (to the extent customarily included in a confidential information memorandum for credit facilities substantially similar to the Bridge Facility) to be included in the additional version of the Information Materials for Public Lenders will be substantially consistent with the information included in any offering memorandum for the offering for the Unsecured Notes, subject to any differences that may occur as a result of such information being presented at or as at differing dates. Before distribution of any Information Materials to prospective lenders (other than the Initial Lenders), you agree to execute and deliver to the Lead Arrangers, (i) to the extent reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers, a customary letter in which you authorize distribution of the Information Materials to Lenders willing to receive Private Lender Information and (ii) a separate customary letter in which you authorize distribution of Information Materials containing solely Public Lender Information and represent to the Lead Arrangers that such Information Materials do not contain any Private Lender Information, which letter shall in each case include a customary “10b-5” representation to the Lead Arrangers substantially identical to the representations in Section 4 below (which representations shall not be qualified by knowledge). Each version of the Information Materials shall (i) exculpate you, the Seller and your and its respective affiliates with respect to any liability related to the misuse of such Information Materials or any related marketing materials by the recipients thereof and (ii) exculpate us and our respective affiliates with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse of such Information Materials or any related marketing materials by the recipients thereof. You further agree, (a) at the request of the Lead Arrangers, to use your commercially reasonable efforts to identify Public Lender Information by clearly and conspicuously designating the same as “PUBLIC” and (b) the Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Information Materials that are not specifically identified as “PUBLIC” as being Private Lender Information.

If you advise us in writing (including by e-mail) that any of the foregoing items should be distributed only to Private Lenders, then the Lead Arrangers will not distribute such materials to Public Lenders without your consent. We shall be entitled to treat any Information Materials that are not specifically identified as “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the platform not designated “Public Lenders” to which Public Lenders do not have access. 4 The Lead Arrangers will manage all aspects of any syndication in consultation with you (subject to your consent rights as set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 3 (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)), including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached (excluding Disqualified Lenders) and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (excluding Disqualified Lenders), the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders, any naming rights and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. 4.

In arranging and syndicating the Bridge Facility, we will be entitled to use and rely on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof. You agree that if, at any time prior to the later of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations in the first sentence of this Section 4 (or to your knowledge with respect to the Acquired Business, the Seller Group and its other businesses), would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections contained in the Information Materials were being furnished, and such representations and warranties were being made, at such time, then you will (or with respect to (x) Information and Projections concerning the Acquired Business prior to the Closing Date and (y) Information and Projections concerning the Seller Group or its other businesses at any time, you will use commercially reasonable efforts to) promptly supplement the Information or the Projections, as applicable, so that such representations are correct in all material respects under those circumstances (or, in the case of any Information or Projections with respect to the Acquired Business, the Seller Group and its businesses, to your knowledge).
