2.2 Purchase Price. The total purchase price for the Membership Interests (the “Purchase Price”) shall be (a) a cash payment in the amount of One Hundred Ninety Million Dollars ($190,000,000) (the “Closing Payment”), which shall be payable to Seller at Closing, plus (b) a cash payment equal to the Seller’s Asset Value, if any, which shall be payable to Seller in accordance with Section 2.4, plus (c) a cash payment equal to the Working Capital Excess, if any, which shall be payable to Seller in accordance with Section 2.5, minus (d) a cash payment equal to the Working Capital Deficit, if any, which shall be payable to Buyer in accordance with Section 2.5.

2.3 Closing Balance Sheet. Following the Closing Date, Buyer, with the cooperation of Seller to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate by Buyer, shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, an unaudited balance sheet of Brut as of the Closing Date (“Closing Balance Sheet”), which shall be in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, except that it shall not have footnotes or other audit disclosures, and shall be subject to normal adjustments that would ordinarily be taken at year end and which, individually and in the aggregate, are not material. Buyer shall deliver the Closing Balance Sheet to Seller as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date but in any event within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.

2.4 Seller’s Asset Value. It is the parties intent that, to the extent practicable, all of Brut’s Cash Assets shall have been distributed upstream to Seller, and all prepaids and deposits made by Brut (“Prepaid/Deposit Assets”), including deposits made by Brut with NSCC and Merrill Pro, shall have been returned to Brut in cash and such cash distributed upstream to Seller, prior to the Closing Date. To the extent, however, that not all of Brut’s Cash Assets and Prepaid/Deposit Assets (collectively, “Seller’s Assets”) are so distributed (i.e., the Closing

Balance Sheet reflects Seller’s Assets of greater than $0), the aggregate dollar amount of Seller’s Assets (the “Seller’s Asset Value”) reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet shall represent on a dollar for dollar basis the Purchase Price component payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.2(b). The Seller’s Asset Value shall be paid by Buyer to Seller in cash within ten (10) business days after the Working Capital Statement is ultimately finalized in accordance with Section 2.5.1.

2.5 Working Capital Adjustment. The Purchase Price component payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.2(c) shall be equal to the amount by which (a) Brut’s consolidated working capital, assuming there is no Seller’s Asset Value, as of the Closing Date (i.e., current Assets less Seller’s Assets and current liabilities, each as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet) exceeds (b) Brut’s consolidated working capital, assuming there is no Seller’s Asset Value, as of December 31, 2003 (i.e., current Assets less Seller’s Assets and current liabilities, each as reflected on the Latest Audited Balance Sheet) (“Working Capital Excess”). The Purchase Price component payable by Seller pursuant to Section 2.2(d) shall be equal to the amount by which (a) Brut’s consolidated working capital, assuming there is no Seller’s Asset Value, as of December 31, 2003 (i.e., current Assets less Seller’s Assets and current liabilities, each as reflected on the Latest Audited Balance Sheet) exceeds (b) Brut’s consolidated working capital, assuming there is no Seller’s Asset Value, as of the Closing Date (i.e., current Assets less Seller’s Assets and current liabilities, each as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet) (“Working Capital Deficit”).

2.5.1. Working Capital Statement. Buyer shall (a) prepare, with the cooperation of Seller, a statement (“Working Capital Statement”) showing a clear and detailed calculation of the Working Capital Excess or Working Capital Deficit, as the case may be, and (b) deliver the Working Capital Statement to Seller at the same time as the Closing Balance Sheet is delivered to Seller under Section 2.3. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of any objections to the Working Capital Statement and/or Closing Balance Sheet within thirty (30) days after Seller receives the Working Capital Statement and the Closing Balance Sheet. If Seller does not notify Buyer of any such objections by the end of that thirty-day period, then the Working Capital Statement and the Closing Balance Sheet shall each be considered final on the last day of that thirty-day period. If Seller does notify Buyer of any such objections by the end of that thirty-day period, and Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve their differences within fifteen (15) days thereafter, then Seller and Buyer shall instruct their respective accountants to, in good faith, use their best efforts to resolve such disputed items to their mutual satisfaction and to deliver a final Working Capital Statement and Closing Balance Sheet to Seller and Buyer as soon as possible. If Seller’s accountants and Buyer’s accountants are unable to resolve any such disputed items within thirty (30) days after receiving such instructions, then the remaining disputed items and the value attributable to them by each of Seller and Buyer shall be submitted to a mutually agreeable, nationally recognized accounting firm (“Arbiter”) for resolution, and the Arbiter shall be instructed to deliver a final Working Capital Statement and Closing Balance Sheet to Seller and Buyer as soon as possible. In the event that the Arbiter’s determination of the value of such disputed items is closer in value to the value attributed to such disputed items by Buyer, Seller shall pay the costs of the Arbiter. In the event that the Arbiter’s determination of the value of such disputed items is closer in value to the value attributed to such disputed items by Seller, Buyer shall pay the costs of the Arbiter.

2.5.2. Payment of Working Capital Adjustment. The Working Capital Excess, if any, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller and the Working Capital Deficit, if any, shall be paid by Seller to Buyer in cash within ten (10) business days after the Working Capital Statement is ultimately finalized in accordance with Section 2.5.1.

2.6 Currency and Method of Payment. All dollar amounts stated in this Agreement are stated in United States currency, and all payments required under this Agreement shall be paid in United States currency. All payments required under this Agreement shall be made as follows: (a) any payment may be made by wire transfer of immediately available United States federal funds; (b) any payment exceeding $50,000 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available United States federal funds; and (c) any payment not exceeding $50,000 may be made by ordinary check.

2.7 Purchase Price Allocation. Seller and Buyer agree to allocate (a) 99.8% of the Purchase Price to the 99.8% of the Brut Interests owned by Toll and (b) 0.2% of the Purchase Price to the Brut Inc Stock owned by Toll (the “Allocation”). Each of Seller and Buyer shall (i) be bound by the Allocation for purposes of determining any Taxes, (ii) timely file all forms (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) and Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with the Allocation, (iii) prepare and file, and cause its respective Affiliates to prepare and file, its Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Allocation and (iv) take no position, and cause its respective Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with the Allocation on any applicable Tax Return, in any Proceeding before any Taxing authority or in any report made for Tax purposes. In the event that the Allocation is disputed by any Taxing authority, the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other parties and keep the other parties reasonably apprised of material developments concerning resolution of such dispute.

2.8 Intercompany Accounts. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 2..8, on or prior to the Closing Date, all intercompany accounts between any Toll Entity, on the one hand, and a SunGard Entity or any Affiliate of a SunGard Entity (excluding the Toll Entities), on the other hand, shall be eliminated.

2.9 Pass-Through Receivables.

(a) Buyer agrees that beginning on the date following the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 120 days after the Closing Date (the “Shortfall Date”), it shall use its reasonable best efforts consistent with its past Accounts Receivable collections practices to timely collect payment of the 31(a) Pass-Through Fees identified as Accounts Receivable of Brut as of the Closing Date (“Closing Pass-Through Receivables”) on a schedule delivered to Buyer by Seller at the Closing (the “Pass-Through Receivables Schedule”), which schedule shall be automatically amended to reflect as its Closing Pass-Through Receivables the Closing Pass-Through Receivables identified as such on the Closing Balance Sheet, as such Closing Balance Sheet may be amended or modified in accordance with Section 2.5.1. Buyer agrees to apply all payments received with respect to payors who owe payment on such Pass-Through Closing Receivables, first to the oldest invoice and thereafter in order to the next oldest invoice, unless the payor specifically designates that the payment be applied in some other way, in which case the payor’s instructions shall control.

(b) Within 20 business days following the Shortfall Date, Buyer shall furnish Seller with a written notice (the “Shortfall Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount, if any, of the excess (the “Shortfall Amount”) of the Closing Pass-Through Receivables over the total amount of payments received in the period from the Closing Date through the Shortfall Date in respect thereof; provided, however, the Shortfall Amount, if any, shall be reduced by the amount of any specific reserves set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet directly related to any unpaid portion of the Closing Pass-Through Receivables; provided, further, Buyer will not provide a Shortfall Notice if the Shortfall Amount is less than $250,000.

(c) Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of any objections to the Shortfall Amount within thirty (30) days after Seller receives the Shortfall Notice. If Seller does not notify Buyer of any such objections by the end of that thirty-day period, then the Shortfall Amount shall be considered final on the last day of that thirty-day period. If Seller does notify Buyer of any such objections by the end of that thirty-day period, and Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve their differences within fifteen (15) days thereafter, then the Arbiter (or if no such Arbiter was appointed for the purposes of Section 2.5.1 or Section 9, one shall be appointed for the purposes of this Section 2.9 pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.5.1) shall be instructed to determine the amount of such Shortfall Amount, if any, as soon as possible and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. If Seller does not object to Buyer’s calculation of the Shortfall Amount within the thirty (30) day period, the parties agree on a Shortfall Amount or the Arbiter determines that a Shortfall Amount exists, then within ten (10) business days after such Shortfall Amount is ultimately finalized in accordance with this Section 2.9 (i) Buyer shall assign the Closing Pass-Through Receivables that have not been collected at that time to Seller (or an Affiliate designated by Seller) for it to collect and (ii) Seller shall pay in cash to Buyer the amount of the Shortfall Amount. In the event that Buyer assigns any Closing Pass-Through Receivables to Seller (or its designated Affiliate), Buyer agrees that it will (x) provide Seller with all documentation and information regarding such Closing Pass-Through Receivables as may be reasonably requested by Seller and (y) promptly following receipt thereof, turn over to Seller any amounts received by Buyer or its Affiliates thereafter from the payor in respect of such Closing Pass-Through Receivables, up to and including the entire amount of the relevant Closing Pass-Through Receivables.

3.12 Regulatory Registrations; Memberships.

(a) Brut is duly registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act and the respective regulatory agencies for the states and jurisdictions listed on SCHEDULE 3.12 and is a member in good standing of the NASD, SIPC, NSX and BSE. Brut is subject to NASD operating restrictions as set forth in its NASD membership agreement (“Brut Membership Agreement”), a true, complete and correct copy of which has been made available to Buyer. Brut is not in violation or breach in any material respect of the Brut Membership Agreement, and does not engage, and has not engaged, in any activities prohibited by the Brut Membership Agreement. The Brut ECN is classified under SEC rules as

an “alternative trading system” including any successor name thereof (“ATS”) and Brut has made appropriate filings with the SEC pursuant to Regulation ATS. The operations of Brut as a broker dealer, as such operations were and presently are conducted, and the status of Brut as a registered broker-dealer and the Brut ECN as an ATS, comply with, in all material respects, all federal, state and applicable foreign securities Laws, including the Exchange Act. Brut is a self-clearing broker but also executes certain securities transactions on a fully disclosed basis through the clearing firms identified on SCHEDULE 3.12. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.12, no material disciplinary action or any formal investigation by the staff of the SEC, any state securities regulator, the NASD or any other Self-Regulatory Organization is pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened against Brut and, to the Seller’s knowledge, no facts exist that could result in the same.

(b) Brut and, to Seller’s knowledge, each of the managers, officers, directors and employees of Brut who is required to be registered as a broker-dealer, a registered principal, a registered representative or in a similar capacity with any Governmental Body is duly registered as such and all such registrations are in full force and effect. All Laws in respect of such registrations have been complied with in all material respects and, as currently filed, all such registrations and all periodic reports required to be filed with respect thereto are accurate and complete. Brut is in compliance, in all material respects, with Rule 15c3-1 under the Exchange Act and any net capital requirements imposed by any Self-Regulating Organization of which it is a member.

(c) Brut does not extend or arrange credit that is governed by Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, NASD Rule 2520 or the margin rules or similar rules of any Self-Regulatory Organization of which it is a member, including rules governing the extension or arrangement of credit to customers. None of the Toll Entities has or does extend or arrange credit for any customer within the meaning of Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

(d) Brut has received a “no action” letter from the Division of Market Regulation of the SEC confirming, based on the facts set forth in such letter, that the ECN operated by Brut is an “electronic communications network” as defined under the Exchange Act and that the Division of Market Regulation will treat the participants in such ECN as in compliance with paragraph (c)(5)(i)(A) of Rule 11Ac1-1 because such ECN satisfies the requirement of paragraph (c)(5)(ii) of such Rule (such letter being referred to herein as the “No-Action Letter”). The facts recited in the No-Action Letter relating to the ECN of Brut were true and correct on the date provided and, since such date, no facts have changed which would result in its failure to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (c)(5)(ii) of Rule 11Ac1-1 such that it would no longer be treated in compliance with paragraph (c)(5)(i)(A). Neither Seller nor any Toll Entity is aware of any facts or circumstances that are reasonably likely to result in the No-Action Letter being revoked, withdrawn, superseded or suspended.

3.13 Employees and Independent Contractors.

3.14 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) SCHEDULE 3.14 contains a list of each Employee Benefit Plan established, maintained, contributed to or to which there is an obligation to contribute to by a Toll Entity (collectively referred to as the “Toll Employee Benefit Plans”). Each of the Toll Employee Benefit Plans, including the Savings Plan and the Flexible Compensation Plan of Parent (the “Parent Plans”), is maintained by Parent and contributed to by Brut. Other than the Toll Employee Benefit Plans, there are no Employee Benefit Plans in which employees of a Toll Entity are eligible for participation or benefits by virtue of their employment by a Toll Entity.

(b) No Toll Employee Benefit Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA. No liability under Title IV of ERISA has been incurred by any Toll Entity or any ERISA Affiliate that has not been satisfied in full, and no condition exists that presents a material risk to any Toll Entity or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring any liability under such Title, other than liability for premiums due to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, which payments have been or will be made when due.

(c) Each Toll Employee Benefit Plan that is required to be “qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified.

(d) With respect to each Toll Employee Benefit Plan, each Toll Entity will have made, on or before the Closing Date, all payments required to be made by it on or before the Closing Date and will have accrued (in accordance with GAAP) as of the Closing Date all payments due but not yet payable as of the Closing Date.

(e) Each Toll Entity has complied in all material respects with the provisions of the Toll Employee Benefit Plans. Each of the Toll Employee Benefit Plans has been operated and administered in all material respects in accordance with applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code.

(f) Except as provided in Section 5.5, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements will not, either alone or in combination with any other event, (i) entitle any current or former employee, officer, director, manager or consultant of any Toll Entity to severance pay, unemployment compensation or any other similar termination payment or (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount of, or otherwise enhance, any benefit due to any such employee, officer, director or consultant.

(c) As to each matter described on SCHEDULE 3.16, copies of all pertinent pleadings, judgments, orders, non-privileged correspondence and other non-privileged legal documents have been made available to Buyer.

3.17 Insurance. Each Toll Entity is covered by such types and amounts of insurance with respect to its business and Assets, employees, officers, directors and managers as are customarily carried by persons or entities engaged in the same or a similar business as such Toll Entity. All premiums payable into each such policy have been duly paid and, to Seller’s knowledge, each such Insurance Policy is in full force and effect and is not voidable on account

of any act, omission or non-disclosure on the part of the Seller or any Toll Entity. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.17, there is no material claim pending under any of the Insurance Policies and no such material claim made since August 14, 2002, has been denied or, in the case of any pending claim, questioned or disputed. No Toll Entity has received any written notice of cancellation of any Toll Entity’s Insurance Policies.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.9 to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.9 shall require, or be construed to require, Buyer, in connection with the receipt of any Consent, waiver, approval, license or authorization by any Governmental Body or the defense of any Proceeding, to proffer to, or agree to (a) sell or hold separate and agree to sell, divest, discontinue or limit, before or after the Closing Date, any Assets, businesses, or interest in any Assets or businesses of Buyer or any Toll Entity or any of their respective Affiliates (or to consent to any sale, or agreement to sell, or discontinuance or limitation by Buyer or any Toll Entity, as the case may be, of any of its Assets or businesses) or (b) agree to any conditions or terms relating to or applying to, or requiring any changes, limitations or restrictions on, the operation of any Asset or business, including the market practices and structure of Buyer, that, in the case of either clause (a) or (b), is reasonably likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Assets, business, long term earning capacity or financial condition of Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Toll Entities) taken as a whole (any such requirement specified in clause (a) or (b), a “Burdensome Condition”).

5.11 Noncompetition and No solicitation.

(a) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date which is three (3) years following the Closing Date, neither of the SunGard Entities nor any Affiliate thereof shall, within the United States of America, without the prior written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly: (i) own or operate any (A) ECN, (B) national securities exchange, (C) SRO, or (D) ATS (each a “Competing Business”); (ii) license, sell or provide the ECN Component to any Person unless required to provide to a Governmental Body or other Person by Law or regulation of a SRO, (iii) use the ECN Components to develop, facilitate, enhance or operate an order execution or matching system to be used by a Competing Business, (iv) employ, engage or utilize any Continuing Employee in the development, facilitation, enhancement or operation of an order execution or matching system to be used by a Competing Business, or (v)

32 enter into a transaction the primary purpose of which is to acquire twenty (20) percent or more of the equity interests or voting power of any Person principally engaged in a Competing Business or any interest in Person listed on SCHEDULE 5.11(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the SunGard Entities and its Affiliates shall not be prohibited from acquiring any business that includes operations the conduct of which by the SunGard Entities would, but for this sentence, otherwise violate the restrictions of this Section 5.11, if the primary purpose of such acquisition is not to acquire any Competing Business; provided that if more than twenty (20) percent of such acquired entity’s gross revenues are derived from the Competing Business during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding such acquisition, then within one (1) year after the date of such acquisition, the SunGard Entities shall have ceased conducting such business or shall have entered a binding agreement (which may be an agreement with Buyer) for the disposition of the Competing Business. If any such binding agreement shall terminate prior to the completion of the sale of such Competing Business, the SunGard Entities shall cease conducting such business or enter into a new binding agreement for its disposition within three (3) months after the date of such termination. Under no circumstances shall the restriction set forth in this Section 5.11 in any way limit Parent or any of its Affiliates from: (i) using the ECN Components to develop, facilitate, enhance or operate an order execution, matching system or other functionality for a Person that is not engaged in a Competing Business, (ii) subject to 5.11(b) employing, engaging or utilizing any Continuing Employee in the development, facilitation, enhancement or operation of an order execution or matching system for a Person that is not engaged in a Competing Business, or (iii) using, providing, modifying, developing, maintaining, enhancing, licensing, operating, facilitating, hosting, selling, distributing or exploiting the BRASS System (which may include automated execution and trade reporting functionality solely at the election of the broker dealer using such service and not as a Competing Business), UMA, U2, X2 or any products or services of Parent or its Affiliates (as a whole or any portion thereof, and including current products or services and those yet to be developed) to any Person, other than the ECN Components. Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates will engage in any activities in violation of this Section 5.11 with any Person that, while not currently a Competing Business, to the actual knowledge of Parent or the applicable Affiliate, would become a Competing Business within a reasonable period after the provision of such products or services. By the Closing Date, Seller shall deposit into escrow with a standard escrow provider for a period of three (3) years a copy of the Brut ECN Software, the BRASS System, UMA, U2 and X2, in each case, as such Software exists as of the date of this Agreement and an independent party hired by Buyer, reasonably acceptable to Seller, may have reasonable access to such escrowed Software in order to facilitate compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) The SunGard Entities agree that, for a period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date two (2) years following the Closing Date, neither the SunGard Entities nor their Affiliates will solicit for employment or hire any of the Continuing Employees; provided, however, that it is understood that this Section 5.11(b) shall not prohibit: (i) generalized solicitations by advertising and the like that are not directed to the Continuing Employees; (ii) solicitations or hires of Continuing Employees whose employment was terminated by Buyer or any Toll Entity or (iii) solicitations or hires of Continuing Employees who have terminated their employment with any Toll Entity without any prior solicitation (which would otherwise violate this Section 5.11(b)) by a SunGard Entity or any Affiliate thereof.

33 (c) Buyer agrees that: (i) for a period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, neither Buyer nor its Affiliates will solicit for employment or hire any of the Persons listed on SCHEDULE 5.11(c) (the “Prohibited Employees”); and (ii) in connection with the Clearing Agreement, for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending upon the termination of the Clearing Agreement pursuant to its terms, neither Buyer nor its Affiliates will solicit for employment or hire any employees in the Phase3 division of SunGard Financial (“Phase3 Employees”); provided, however, that it is understood that this Section 5.11(c) shall not prohibit: (i) generalized solicitations by advertising and the like that are not directed to the Prohibited Employees or the Phase3 Employees; (ii) solicitations or hires of Prohibited Employees or the Phase3 Employees whose employment was terminated by a SunGard Entity or SunGard Financial or (iii) solicitations or hires of Prohibited Employees or the Phase3 Employees who have terminated their employment with a SunGard Entity or SunGard Financial without any prior solicitation (which would otherwise violate this Section 5.11(c)) by Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

(d) It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that if, in any action before any court or Governmental Body legally empowered to enforce this Section 5.11, any term, restriction, covenant, or promise is found to be unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant, or promise shall not thereby be terminated but that it shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or Governmental Body and, if it cannot be so modified, that it shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom such provision or portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such modification or amendment in any event to apply only with respect to the operation of this Section 5.11 in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

10.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event that a party (the “Indemnitee”) shall become aware of any claim, Proceeding or other matter (a “Claim”) in respect of which another party (the “Indemnitor”) agreed to indemnify the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall give prompt notice (“Indemnification Notice”) thereof to the Indemnitor. The Indemnification Notice shall specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim by another Person against the Indemnitee (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the Claim does not so arise, and shall describe the Claim in reasonable detail (to the extent the information is available) and the amount of the Claim, if known. Failure to give prompt notice of a Claim shall not affect the Indemnitor’s obligations under this Section 10, except to the extent such failure has prejudiced in any material respect the Indemnitor as a result of such failure to give prompt notice.

(b) With respect to any Third Party Claim, upon receipt of the Indemnification Notice, the Indemnitor shall, at its expense and through counsel of its choice, promptly assume and have sole control over the litigation, defense or settlement (the “Defense”) of the Third Party Claim, except that (i) the Indemnitee may, at its option and expense and through counsel of its choice, participate in (but not control) the Defense; and (ii) the Indemnitor shall not consent to any Judgment, or agree to any settlement, that would have an adverse impact on Indemnitee, without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In any event, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall fully cooperate with each other in connection with the Defense including by furnishing all available documentary or other evidence as is reasonably requested by the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ one separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense if the named parties to such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and Indemnitor, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest would exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and Indemnitor (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the Indemnitor in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume the Defense thereof).

(c) In the event the Indemnitor fails, within twenty (20) days of receipt of an Indemnification Notice, to undertake to defend, contest, or otherwise protect against any such Claim, or is not defending such Claim in good faith, the Indemnitee may, but will not be obligated to, defend, contest, or otherwise protect against the same, and, upon the consent of Indemnitor, not to be unreasonably withheld, make any compromise or settlement thereof and recover the entire costs thereof from the Indemnitor, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and expenses and all amounts paid as a result of such Claim or the compromise or settlement thereof.

(d) Except with respect to expenses that are to be paid by the Indemnitor pursuant to Section 10.4(b), all of which expenses shall be paid by Indemnitor as incurred, all amounts owed by the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee (if any) shall be paid in full within thirty (30) business days after a final Judgment (without further right of appeal) determining the amount owed is rendered, or after a final settlement or agreement as to the amount owed is executed.

10.5 Limits on Indemnitor’s Liability. The Indemnitor’s liability under this Section 10 shall be limited as follows.

(a) Threshold. Except as set forth in Section 10.6, the Indemnitor shall not be liable in respect of any indemnification obligation arising under Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, as the case may be, unless the aggregate cumulative amount of Losses claimed thereunder exceeds Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Basket Amount”), in which case the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, shall be liable only for the excess of the aggregate amount of all such Losses claimed thereunder over the Basket Amount; provided, however, that the Basket Amount and the limitations set forth in 10.5(c) shall not apply to Losses for any breach of the representation and warranty contained in Section 3.1(b) or Section 3.3(c) and the Basket Amount shall not apply to Losses for any breach of a representation or warranty for which amendments or modifications thereof pursuant to Section 5.3 have been disregarded pursuant to Section 10.2(a).

(b) Net of Recovery. Payments by Indemnitor on any Loss pursuant to Section 10.4(d) shall be limited to the amount of any Loss that remains after deducting therefrom (i) any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or similar payment recoverable by the Indemnitee (or any of its Affiliates) from any third party with respect thereto and (ii) any Tax benefit to Indemnitee (or any of its Affiliates) with respect thereto. The Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates shall be considered to have realized a Tax benefit only when, after utilizing all deductions, losses and credits otherwise available to it, there was a decrease in the cumulative Taxes payable by it as a result of such Loss.

(c) Ceiling. Except as set forth in Section 10.6, in no event shall (i) the Seller’s aggregate obligation to indemnify Buyer Indemnitees under Section 10.2 or (ii) Buyer’s aggregate obligation to indemnify Seller Indemnitees under Section 10.3, exceed twenty (20) percent of the Purchase Price.

(d) Time Periods. With respect to any indemnification matter under this Section 10, the Indemnitor shall have no liability unless the Indemnitee gives an Indemnification Notice with respect thereto within the applicable survival period provided for in Section 10.1.

10.6 Excepted Losses. The limitations set forth in Section 10.5(a) and Section 10.5(c) and, solely in the case of Section 10.6(a), the limitation of Section 10.5(d), shall not apply in the case of any Losses arising under Section 10.2 to the extent (but only to the extent) of those Losses suffered or incurred by Buyer Indemnitee with respect to or in connection with such Claims that are finally adjudicated to have resulted from (a) a Toll Entity’s intentional misrepresentation or fraud or (b) the breach by Seller of any warranty or representation made by Seller in Section 3.1, Section 3.2(a) and Section 3.3 or (c) the breach by Seller or Parent of their covenants contained in Section 5.11 (each, an “Excepted Loss” and collectively “Excepted Losses”). In the case of Excepted Losses, (i) Seller’s aggregate liability for such Losses shall be limited to the Purchase Price, and (ii) there shall not be a Basket Amount.

10.7 Sole Remedy. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 10, except as provided in Section 9.5; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) prevent any

Person from pursuing remedies as may be available to it under applicable Law in the event of any party’s failure to comply with its indemnification obligations hereunder, or (ii) limit the ability of a Party to seek injunctive or similar relief.

SECTION 11. TERMINATION

11.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned, at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) By mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer;

(b) Provided Seller is not in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement, by Seller by written notice to Buyer if there has been a material misrepresentation or material breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer in the representations, warranties and covenants of Buyer set forth in this Agreement and such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days following such written notice; or

(c) Provided Buyer is not in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement, by Buyer by written notice to Seller if there has been a material misrepresentation or material breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Seller in the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller set forth in this Agreement and such breach has not been cured within 30 days of such written notice; or

(d) By Seller or by Buyer, by written notice to the other party, if the Closing hereunder has not been consummated on or before July 31, 2004 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the Outside Date may be extended from time to time by not more than 150 days in the aggregate by any party by written notice to the other parties if the Closing shall not have been consummated as a result of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(d) or Section 6.2(d) failing to have been satisfied and the extending party reasonably believes that the relevant consents, waivers, approvals, licenses and authorizations will be obtained during such extension period; provided, further, that (i) Seller shall not be entitled to terminate pursuant to this Section 11.1(d) if the Closing shall not have been consummated within such time period by reason of the failure of Seller or Parent to perform in all material respects any of its covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and (ii) Buyer shall not be entitled to terminate pursuant to this Section 11.1(d) if the Closing shall not have been consummated within such time period by reason of Buyer’s failure to perform in all material respects any of its covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement.

11.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is validly terminated by either Seller or Buyer pursuant to Section 11.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and of no force and effect, and there will be no Obligation on the part of Buyer or Seller (or any or their respective representatives or Affiliates), except for material willful breaches of and material intentional misstatements or omissions in or pursuant to this Agreement by Buyer or Seller, as applicable, prior to the time of such termination (the liability for which shall be borne by the

party who commits the material willful breach or makes the material intentional misstatement or omission).
