The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.4 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, New PubCo, WWE and Merger Sub shall cause a certificate of merger in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to EDR (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL in connection with the Merger in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to EDR. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Xxxxxx is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed by WWE and EDR and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective time of the Merger being referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.5 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

Section 1.6 The Conversion. On the Closing Date, immediately following the Effective Time and as part of a plan that includes the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL and the DLLCA: (i) the Conversion shall be effected pursuant to which the Surviving Entity shall be converted to a

limited liability company by (x) the approval of the Conversion and the initial limited liability company agreement of WWE LLC (the “Initial WWE LLC Operating Agreement”) by the board of directors of WWE and New PubCo, in its capacity as the sole stockholder of WWE immediately following the Effective Time (the “New PubCo Stockholders Consent”) and (y) the simultaneous filing of a Certificate of Formation and a Certificate of Conversion to Limited Liability Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL and the DLLCA, (ii) WWE LLC shall thereupon be governed by the Initial WWE LLC Operating Agreement (which shall provide, among other things, that as of immediately following the effectiveness of the Conversion (the “Conversion Effective Time”), (x) New PubCo shall be the sole managing member of WWE LLC and (y) the officers of the Surviving Entity as of immediately prior to the Conversion Effective Time shall remain the officers of WWE LLC until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation, or removal) until the Initial WWE LLC Operating Agreement is thereafter amended in accordance with its terms and (iii) the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Entity shall be converted into a number of membership interests in New PubCo LLC equal to the number of WWE Shares outstanding immediately following the Effective Time.

On the date that is three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, WWE shall prepare and deliver to EDR a schedule (together with reasonable documentation, back-up and supporting detail for each of the items and calculations in such statement, the “WWE Balance Sheet Schedule”) providing its reasonable, good faith estimate of (A) the WWE Minimum Cash Amount and (B) the amount of unrestricted cash held by WWE LLC or their respective Subsidiaries in bank accounts and available for withdrawal or transfer in either case net of any Tax or other fees, costs or expenses (other than customary wire transfer fees) (“WWE Unrestricted Cash”), in each case as of immediately prior to the time of the WWE Transfer (such amount of cash as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.7(B), the “WWE Cash Amount”). If EDR objects to the WWE Balance Sheet Schedule in writing, WWE and EDR shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve the dispute prior to the Closing Date. If, at any time following the delivery of the WWE Balance Sheet, WWE’s Representatives have actual knowledge of an Effect or other circumstance that will result in changes to the calculations set forth in the WWE Balance Sheet Schedule as of immediately prior to the time of the WWE Transfer, then WWE shall deliver a revised WWE Balance Sheet Schedule to EDR as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, prior to the WWE Transfer). WWE and New PubCo shall procure that WWE LLC and its Subsidiaries have, immediately prior to the Closing an aggregate amount of WWE Unrestricted Cash equal to at least (I) $73,500,000 plus (II) the amount of any outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money that has been incurred by New PubCo or WWE or their respective Subsidiaries since December 31, 2022 and not, as of Closing, repaid or otherwise satisfied plus, (III) any amounts incurred in connection with the items set forth on Section 1.7 of the WWE Disclosure Letter, plus (IV) (x) fifty-percent (50%) of the aggregate costs and expenses incurred, paid or payable by EDR, New PubCo, WWE or any of their respective Subsidiaries, including HoldCo, in connection with the Transactions (collectively, “Expenses”) up to $150,000,000 (the “Cap”) and (y) 100% of the Expenses in excess of the Cap, in the case of (x) and (y), with respect to the period beginning January 1, 2023, and ending upon the consummation of all transactions contemplated hereby (whether such payment becomes payable

before, at or after the Closing), plus (IV) one-hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid Taxes payable by WWE LLC and its Subsidiaries (as opposed to New PubCo) with respect to the period beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and ending on the Closing Date (such amount, the “WWE Minimum Cash Amount” and such requirement, the “WWE Minimum Cash Requirement”).

Other than with respect to the distribution permitted by this Section 1.7, nothing in this Section 1.7 will be deemed to modify the WWE Parties’ agreements set forth herein (including Section 5.2).

Section 1.8 HoldCo Cash Distribution. On or prior to the Closing, HoldCo and its Subsidiaries may distribute to EDR or its Affiliates an amount of cash (if any) equal to the greater of (x) $0.00 and (y) (i) the EDR Cash Amount less (ii) the EDR Minimum Cash Amount. On the date that is three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, EDR shall prepare and deliver to WWE a schedule (together with reasonable documentation, back-up and supporting detail for each of the items and calculations in such statement, the “EDR Balance Sheet Schedule”) providing its reasonable, good faith estimate of (A) the EDR Minimum Cash Amount and (B) the amount of unrestricted cash held by HoldCo or its Subsidiaries in bank accounts and available for withdrawal or transfer in either case net of any Tax or other fees, costs or expenses (other than customary wire transfer fees) (the “EDR Unrestricted Cash”) as of immediately prior to the Closing (such amount of cash as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.8(B), the “EDR Cash Amount”). If WWE objects to the EDR Balance Sheet Schedule in writing, WWE and EDR shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve the dispute prior to the Closing Date. If, at any time following the delivery of the EDR Balance Sheet, EDR’s Representatives have actual knowledge of an Effect or other circumstance that will result in changes to the calculations set forth on the EDR Balance Sheet as of immediately prior to the Closing, then EDR shall deliver a revised EDR Balance Sheet Schedule to WWE as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, prior to the Closing). EDR shall procure that HoldCo and its Subsidiaries have, immediately prior to the Closing an aggregate amount of EDR Unrestricted Cash equal to at least (I) $76,500,000 plus (II) the amount of any indebtedness for borrowed money that has been incurred by HoldCo or its Subsidiaries since December 31, 2022 and not, as of the time of the Closing, repaid or otherwise satisfied plus (III) (x) fifty-percent (50%) of the Expenses up to the Cap and (y) none of the Expenses in excess of the Cap, in the case of (x) and (y), with respect to the period beginning January 1, 2023, and ending upon the consummation of all transactions contemplated hereby (whether such payment becomes payable before, at or after the Closing), plus (IV) one-hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid Taxes payable by HoldCo and its Subsidiaries with respect to the period beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and ending on the Closing Date (such amount, the “EDR Minimum Cash Amount” and such requirement, the “EDR Minimum Cash Requirement”). Other than with respect to the distribution permitted by

this Section 1.8, nothing in this Section 1.8 will be deemed to modify the EDR Parties’ agreements set forth herein (including Section 5.2).

Section 1.9 The WWE Transfer. Prior to the Effective Time on the Closing Date, WWE (in its capacity as the sole stockholder of New PubCo) and the board of directors of New PubCo shall take all necessary action to approve the WWE Transfer, for all purposes of the DGCL. On the Closing Date, immediately following the WWE Cash Distribution and the HoldCo Cash Distribution, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Contribution Schedule, and in accordance with the Initial WWE LLC Operating Agreement, the DLLCA and the DGCL: (i) New PubCo will contribute, assign, grant, transfer, convey, set over and deliver, without reservation of any kind, to HoldCo all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in WWE LLC, and HoldCo shall accept New PubCo’s right, title and interest in and to all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of WWE LLC, (ii) in exchange for the contribution described in Section 1.9(i), New PubCo shall receive, in exchange for the WWE Transfer, Membership Interests representing 49% of the Membership Interests outstanding on a Fully-Diluted Basis after giving effect to any issuance of Membership Interests in connection with such exchange and be admitted as a member of HoldCo in respect thereof, and, following this exchange (the “WWE Transfer Consideration”), and (iii) the EDR Subscribers and New PubCo, as the members of HoldCo, shall adopt, and HoldCo shall thereafter be governed by, the HoldCo Operating Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the WWE Transfer Consideration allocable to WWE Equity Awards that are vested and not yet settled or unvested (calculated in accordance with the definition of “Fully-Diluted Basis”) will reduce the number of the Membership Interests received by New PubCo on the Closing Date by an equivalent amount and will not be issued to New PubCo unless and until the applicable WWE Equity Award (as converted hereby) is so settled or becomes vested and is settled in accordance with its terms, as applicable.

Section 1.10 Issuance of New PubCo Equity Shares to the EDR Subscribers. Immediately following the WWE Transfer, New PubCo shall issue to, and the EDR Subscribers shall purchase from New PubCo, that certain number of shares of WWE Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share of New PubCo (as allocated amongst the EDR Subscribers by EDR) (such shares, collectively, the “New PubCo Class B Common Stock,” and each, a “New PubCo Class B Share”), representing 51% of the voting power of New PubCo (calculated in accordance with the definition of Fully-Diluted Basis and in an equivalent manner to Section 1.09) (the “EDR Class B Issuance”) in exchange for a payment by the EDR Subscribers to New PubCo equal to the par value of such New PubCo Class B Common Stock.

Section 1.11 Organizational Documents of the Surviving Entity.

(a) At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Entity shall be amended and restated to conform to Exhibit B; until, subject to Section 6.4, thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation.

(b) The Parties shall take all necessary action such that at the Effective Time the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the bylaws of the Surviving Entity (except that all references in such bylaws of Merger Sub to its name, date of incorporation, registered office or registered agent shall instead refer to the name, date of

incorporation, registered office and registered agent, respectively, of the Surviving Entity) until, subject to Section 6.4, thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Entity and such bylaws.

Section 1.12 Directors of the Surviving Entity. The Parties shall take all necessary action such that the directors of Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the only directors of the Surviving Entity as of immediately after the Effective Time and such directors shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation, or removal.

Section 1.13 Officers of the Surviving Entity. The Parties shall take all necessary action such that the officers of WWE as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Entity as of immediately after the Effective Time and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, incapacitation, retirement, resignation, or removal.

Section 1.14 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, EDR OpCo, HoldCo, WWE, New PubCo and each of their Affiliates, Representatives and any other Person making payments on behalf of any of them shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration or other amounts otherwise payable or deliverable in connection with this Agreement any amounts that are required to be deducted or withheld and paid over to the applicable Taxing Authority under the Code, or any other applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the applicable Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. At least five (5) days prior to Closing, EDR OpCo, HoldCo, WWE, New PubCo and each of their Affiliates, Representatives and any other Person making payments on behalf of any of them, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or cause to be provided notice to any Person with respect to which such withholding obligation applies (excluding any payments properly treated as compensation for applicable tax purposes), and shall reasonably cooperate with such Person to obtain any available reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding.

Article II

Common Stock,” and each, a “New PubCo Class A Share”) (the “Merger Consideration”). All WWE Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 2.1(a) shall cease to exist and no longer be outstanding, and (1) each certificate (a “WWE Certificate”) formerly representing any such shares of WWE Common Stock converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(i) and (2) each book-entry account formerly representing any such uncertificated shares of WWE Common Stock so converted (“Uncertificated WWE Shares”) shall thereafter represent shares of New PubCo Class A Common Stock (without any requirement for the surrender of any WWE Certificates or Uncertificated WWE Shares), with each WWE Certificate representing automatically an equivalent number of shares of New PubCo Class A Common Stock (without any requirement for the surrender of any WWE Certificates or Uncertificated WWE Shares).

(ii) Cancellation of WWE Shares.

Acquisition Proposal, (D) terminate, amend, release, modify or fail to enforce any provision (including any standstill or similar provision) of, or grant any permission, waiver or request under, any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement, (E) grant any waiver, amendment or release under any Takeover Laws, (F) authorize or enter into any letter of intent, acquisition agreement, agreement in principle, or other Contract (an “Acquisition Agreement”) relating to an Acquisition Proposal or (G) resolve, agree or propose to do any of the foregoing; provided, that, if (and only if) prior to WWE’s receipt of the duly executed WWE Written Consent, WWE receives an Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.4(a) and the WWE Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal is, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal and a failure to take the actions contemplated by the following clauses (1), (2) or (3) would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, WWE and the WWE Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives may (1) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, (2) engage in discussions or negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal (so long as WWE and such person have executed an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) and (3) furnish information to, or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or personnel, of WWE or any of its Subsidiaries (so long as WWE and such person have executed an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement), in each case, with the person making or renewing such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives; provided, however, that any such information or access has previously been made available to EDR or shall be made available to EDR prior to, or substantially concurrently with, the time such information is made available to such Person.

(b) WWE shall promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal by it or any of its Representatives, notify EDR of the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal received by WWE, the Specified Stockholder or any of their respective Affiliates, and the identity of the person or “group” making such Acquisition Proposal and shall provide EDR with copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements, and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (or where no such copies are available, a reasonably detailed written description thereof). In addition, WWE shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, the Specified Stockholder and their respective Affiliates to, keep EDR reasonably informed of the status and terms of, and material changes in, any such Acquisition Proposal. WWE shall promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours), following a determination by the WWE Board that an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal to the extent WWE Board is permitted to do so pursuant to Section 5.6, notify Parent of such determination in writing (and, for the avoidance of doubt, following WWE’s receipt of the WWE Written Consent, the WWE Board shall have no right to make such a determination pursuant to Section 5.6 or otherwise).

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, WWE shall deliver a written notice to each Person that entered into a confidentiality agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal within the 180 days preceding the date of this Agreement requesting the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person pursuant to such confidentiality agreement within such 180-day period.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, WWE agrees that if any of its officers, or its or their officers’ direct reports, or its or their directors, or any investment banker or financial advisor retained by, and acting on behalf of WWE, takes (or omits to take) any action that if taken (or

not taken) by WWE would constitute a breach of this Section 5.4, then such action (or inaction) shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 5.4 by WWE.

Section 5.5 WWE Written Consent. Immediately after the execution of this Agreement, in lieu of calling a meeting of WWE’s stockholders, WWE shall use reasonable best efforts to submit to, and in the absence of an Adverse Recommendation Change made in accordance with the terms of Section 5.6(b) or Section 5.6(c), seek and obtain from, the Specified Holder by no later than twelve (12) hours after the execution of this Agreement, the WWE Written Consent (the “Written Consent Delivery Time”). Upon receipt of the executed WWE Written Consent, WWE shall provide to EDR promptly (and in any event by the Written Consent Delivery Time) a copy of such WWE Written Consent. In connection with the WWE Written Consent, WWE shall take all actions necessary or advisable to comply, and shall comply in all respects, with Section 228 of the DGCL, and WWE’s organizational documents.

Section 5.6 WWE Board Recommendation.

(a) Except to the extent permitted by Section 5.6(b) or Section 5.6(c), the WWE Board and each committee of the WWE Board shall not, and shall not authorize or publicly propose to: (i) (A) withhold, withdraw or adversely qualify (or modify or amend in a manner adverse to the EDR Parties) the WWE Board Recommendation; (B) authorize, approve, adopt or recommend, or declare the advisability of, any Acquisition Proposal; or (C) make any recommendation in connection with any Acquisition Proposal that is a tender offer or exchange offer other than an unequivocal recommendation against such offer within ten (10) Business Days of commencement thereof pursuant to Rule 14d-2 of the Exchange Act or a temporary “stop, look and listen” communication by the WWE Board of the type specified by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (any of the foregoing actions, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) cause or permit WWE any of WWE’s Subsidiaries to enter into any Acquisition Agreement or otherwise resolve or agree to do so.

(b) Anything to the contrary in Section 5.6(a) notwithstanding, until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII and WWE’s receipt of the duly executed WWE Written Consent by the Specified Stockholder, if (but only if) in response to an Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that has not been withdrawn and that did not result from a breach of Section 5.6, the WWE Board determines (in each case, after consultation with its respective outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, then, subject to the remainder of this Section 5.6(b), the WWE Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change. Before the WWE Board may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with the immediately prior sentence: (i) WWE shall notify the EDR Parties in writing that it intends to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change; (ii) WWE shall provide the EDR Parties a summary of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the person or “group” making the Superior Proposal) and an unredacted copy of any written materials received from or on behalf of the Person or Persons making such Acquisition Proposal; (iii) if requested to do so by the EDR Parties, for a period of four Business Days following delivery of such notice, WWE shall discuss and negotiate in good faith, and shall make its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate, with the EDR Parties and their Representatives, any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in

such a manner that would obviate the need to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change; and (iv) no earlier than the end of such four Business Day period, WWE Board shall determine, after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by the EDR Parties during such four Business Day period and in consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Superior Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any material changes to the financial or other material terms of a proposal that was previously the subject of a notice hereunder shall require a second notice to EDR Parties as provided above, but with respect to such second notice, references herein to a “four Business Day period” shall be deemed references to a “two Business Day period”).

(c) Anything to the contrary in Section 5.6(a) notwithstanding, until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and WWE’s receipt of the duly executed WWE Written Consent by the Specified Stockholder, the WWE Board may make, subject to the remainder of this Section 5.6(c), an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if the WWE Board determines (after consultation with its respective outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event is reasonably likely to breach its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Before the WWE Board may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with the immediately prior sentence: (i) WWE shall notify the EDR Parties in writing that it intends to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, describing in reasonable detail the reasons for such Adverse Recommendation Change and the material facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event, (ii) if requested to do so by the EDR Parties, for a period of four Business Days following delivery of such notice, WWE shall discuss and negotiate in good faith, and shall make its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate, with the Representatives of the EDR Parties any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in such a manner that would obviate the need to effect such Adverse Recommendation Change and (iii) no earlier than the end of such four Business Day period, WWE Board shall determine, after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement agreed upon by the EDR Parties during such four Business Day period and in consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would still be reasonably likely to breach the WWE Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Section 5.7 Payoff of Certain Indebtedness. WWE shall use reasonable best efforts to (a) deliver or cause to be delivered to EDR on or prior to Closing a copy of an executed payoff letter, in customary form, from the agent for the Existing Revolving Facility, which payoff letter shall (i) indicate the aggregate amount required to be paid to such agent on the Closing Date and (ii) provide that upon receipt of the applicable payoff amount, the applicable agreements evidencing the Existing Revolving Facility shall be automatically terminated (other than any provisions that by their terms survive the termination thereof) and all Encumbrances on the assets and properties of WWE and WWE Subsidiaries securing any such Indebtedness and all guarantees by any WWE Subsidiary of the Existing Revolving Facility shall be released and terminated (with authority provided to file any applicable lien releases and related termination documentation) and (b) deliver or cause to be delivered all applicable lien release and related termination documentation.

(b) WWE shall use all reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act and the Information Statement to be cleared by the SEC and its staff under the Exchange Act, in each case, as promptly as practicable after such filing. Without limiting any other provision herein, the Registration Statement and Information Statement will contain such information and disclosure reasonably requested by WWE so that the Registration Statement conforms in form and substance to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Information Statement conforms in form and substance to the requirements of the Exchange Act.

WWE shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Information Statement to be mailed to holders of WWE Common Stock as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective.

Section 6.2 Filings, Consents, and Approvals.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including Section 6.2(b), each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, to file, or cause to be filed, all documents, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper, or advisable under applicable Antitrust Laws or Foreign Direct Investment Laws to consummate and make effective the Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, clearances, decisions, declarations, approvals and, expirations, or terminations of waiting periods from Governmental Bodies and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain any such consent, decision, declaration, approval, clearance, or waiver, or expiration or termination of a waiting period by or from, or to avoid a Legal Proceeding by, any Governmental Body in connection with any Antitrust Law, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, authorizations, approvals, or waivers from third parties, and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instrument necessary to consummate the Transactions; provided, however, that in no event shall WWE or any WWE Subsidiary be required to pay prior to the Effective Time any fee, penalty, or other consideration or otherwise make any accommodation, commitment, or incur any liability or obligation to any third party to obtain any consent or approval required for the consummation of the Transactions under any Contract.

(b) Without limiting the obligations imposed under Section 6.2(a), the Parties shall promptly take, and cause their Affiliates to take, all actions and steps requested or required by any Governmental Body as a condition to granting any consent, permit, authorization, waiver, clearance, and approval, and to cause the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period and to resolve objections, if any, as the FTC, the DOJ, or any other Governmental Body of any other jurisdiction for which any consent, permit, authorization, waiver, clearance, or approval, or expiration or termination of any waiting period is sought with respect to the

Transactions, so as to obtain such consent, permit, authorization, waiver, clearance, or approval, or expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws, and to avoid the commencement of a Legal Proceeding by the FTC, the DOJ, any other Governmental Body, or any other Person under Antitrust Laws or any Law regulating foreign investment screening, national security or trade regulation (“Foreign Direct Investment Laws”), and to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order, or other order in any suit or Legal Proceeding that would otherwise have the effect of preventing the Closing, delaying the Closing, or delaying the Closing beyond the End Date (collectively, “Regulatory Approvals”), including defending through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any Governmental Body, under Antitrust Laws and/or Foreign Direct Investment Laws in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order, or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary, or permanent) that could restrain, delay, or prevent the Closing by the End Date (which obligation will not be deemed to limit other obligations under this Agreement). Subject to the immediately following provisos, but notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Party shall be required to (i) negotiate, commit to, and effectuate by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, lease, license, divestiture, or disposition of any asset, right, product line, or business of WWE, EDR, or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) terminate any existing relationship, contractual right, or obligation of WWE, EDR, or any of their respective Affiliates, (iii) terminate any venture or other arrangement, (iv) create any relationship, contractual right, or obligation of WWE, EDR, or any of their respective Affiliates, (v) effectuate any other change or restructuring of WWE, EDR, or any of their respective Affiliates, (vi) undertake or agree to any requirement or obligation to provide prior notice to, or obtain prior approval from, any Governmental Body with respect to any transaction, or (vii) otherwise take or commit to take any action with respect to the businesses, product lines, or assets of WWE, EDR, or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with any Regulatory Approval (each of the foregoing, a “Remedy”); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, effect, or agree to effect, any Remedy solely with respect to HoldCo, UFC and/or WWE (and/or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and/or any of their or their respective Subsidiaries’ assets, properties, rights and/or businesses but for clarity, not with respect to any of EDR’s or its Affiliates’ (other than HoldCo’s, UFC's and/or their respective Subsidiares’) equity ownership interest in or arrangements with Holdco, WWE or New PubCo or any of their Subsidiaries) that, individually or in the aggregate, would not, or would not reasonably be expected to have, a Burdensome Effect; provided, further, that each applicable Party shall be required to accept or commit to a Remedy only if the effectiveness of such Remedy is conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing. A “Burdensome Effect” means a material impact on UFC and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on WWE and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates, if applicable, to) (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) business days after the date of this Agreement (unless EDR and WWE agree to a later date), make an appropriate filing of all Notification and Report forms as required by the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions (it being understood that the Parties shall use good faith efforts to make such filing no later than five (5) business days after the date of this Agreement), (ii) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (unless WWE and EDR agree to a later date) make all other filings, notifications or other consents as

may be required to be made or obtained by such Party under foreign Antitrust Laws or Foreign Direct Investment Laws in those jurisdictions identified in Section 6.2(c) of the WWE Disclosure Letter, which contains the list of the only jurisdictions where filing, notification, expiration of a waiting period, or consent or approval is a condition to Closing and (iii) cooperate with each other in determining whether, and promptly preparing and making, any other filing or notification or other consent required to be made with, or obtained from, any other Governmental Body in connection with the Transactions.

(d) Without limiting the generality of anything in this Section 6.2, each Party shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects and consult with each other in connection with any filing or submission in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including allowing the other Parties to have a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and comment on drafts of filings and submissions, (ii) give the other Parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action, or Legal Proceeding brought by a Governmental Body or brought by a third party before any Governmental Body, in each case, with respect to the Transactions, (iii) keep the other Parties informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action, or Legal Proceeding, (iv) promptly inform the other Parties of any material communication to or from the FTC, the DOJ, or any other Governmental Body in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action, or Legal Proceeding, (v) on request, promptly furnish to the other Party a copy of such communications, subject to a confidentiality agreement limiting disclosure to outside counsel and consultants retained by such counsel, and subject to redaction of documents (A) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements and (B) to remove references to valuation of WWE or EDR or their respective Subsidiaries, (vi) to the extent reasonably practicable, consult in advance and cooperate with the other Parties and consider in good faith the views of the other Parties in connection with any substantive communication, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion, or proposal to be made or submitted in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action, or Legal Proceeding, and (vii) except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Body, permit authorized Representatives of the other Parties to be present at each meeting and telephone or video conference arising out of or relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action, or Legal Proceeding. Each Party shall supply as promptly as practicable such information, documentation, other material, or testimony that may be reasonably requested by any Governmental Body, including by complying at the earliest reasonably practicable date with any reasonable request for additional information, documents or other materials, including any “second request” under the HSR Act, received by any Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries from any Governmental Body in connection with such applications or filings for the Transactions. Any Party may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other Parties under this Section 6.2 as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and shall not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials. Each Party shall use reasonable best efforts to share information protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege, or any other privilege pursuant to this Section 6.2 so as to preserve any applicable privilege. Merger Sub shall pay all filing fees under the HSR Act and for any filing required under foreign Antitrust Laws or Foreign Direct Investment Laws (if any).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, none of EDR, WWE, or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates shall agree to any Remedy, commit to or agree with any Governmental Body to not consummate the Merger for any period of time, or to stay, toll, or extend, directly or indirectly, any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Law, and shall not pull and refile any filing made under the HSR Act, in each case, without the prior written consent of the other (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(f) WWE and EDR shall consult in advance with each other and in good faith take each other’s views into account prior to taking any substantive position with respect to (x) the filings under the HSR Act or required by any other Governmental Body under any applicable Antitrust Laws or Foreign Direct Investment Laws and (y) any written submission or, to the extent practicable, any discussion with any Governmental Body in connection with obtaining any necessary clearance under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law or any Foreign Direct Investment Law.

(g) The Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates to, enter into any Contracts for an acquisition (by stock purchase, merger, consolidation, purchase of assets, license or otherwise) of any ownership interests or assets of any Person that would be reasonably likely to: (i) materially increase the risk of imposing any material delay in the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period or materially increase the risk of imposing any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorization, consent, clearance, approval, or order of a Governmental Body necessary to consummate the Transactions, including any approval or expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Law; or (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Body entering, or materially increase the risk of not being able to remove or successfully challenge, any permanent, preliminary, or temporary injunction or restraining order, or other order, decree, decision, determination, or judgment that would materially delay, prevent, enjoin, or otherwise prohibit consummation of Transactions (any of clause (i) or (ii), a “Regulatory Hurdle”).

(h) From the date hereof until the Closing, EDR shall not permit the Persons set forth on Section 6.2(h) of the EDR Disclosure Letter to take the actions set forth on Section 6.2(h) of the EDR Disclosure Letter.

Section 6.3 Employee Benefits.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, EDR and New PubCo shall honor, and shall cause the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries to honor, all WWE Employee Plans and all WWE employment, severance, and termination plans and agreements, in each case, in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately before the Effective Time and, to the extent applicable, shall assume any WWE Employee Plan that requires or contemplates assumption by its terms by an acquirer or successor. EDR hereby acknowledges that a “change in control,” “sale event” or term or concept of similar import within the meaning of the WWE Employee Plans set forth on Section 6.3(a) of the WWE Disclosure Letter will occur at or prior to the Effective Time, as applicable. For a period beginning on the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of

the Effective Time (the “Continuation Period”), EDR and New PubCo shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each natural person who is employed by WWE or any WWE Subsidiary (or who provides services to WWE or any WWE Subsidiary pursuant to an arrangement with a professional employer organization) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any such employee who is on disability or other approved leave) and who is employed by New PubCo or any New PubCo Subsidiary or continues to be employed by the Surviving Entity or any Subsidiary thereof (or to provide services to the Surviving Entity (or any Subsidiary thereof) pursuant to an arrangement with a professional employer organization), in each case immediately following the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) (1) a base salary (or base wages, as the case may be) and short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities, that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the base salary (or base wages, as the case may be) and short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (2) other compensation or benefits (excluding severance (which is covered by Section 6.3(a)(i)), equity-based compensation (including any employee stock purchase plan), change in control, perquisites, deferred compensation or retention or transaction bonus plans, programs and arrangements) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than either (x) compensation or benefits (excluding severance (which is covered by Section 6.3(a)(i)), equity-based compensation (including any employee stock purchase plan), change in control, perquisites, deferred compensation and retention or transaction bonus plans, programs and arrangements) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time or (y) compensation or benefits (excluding severance (which is covered by Section 6.3(a)(i)), equity-based compensation (including any employee stock purchase plan), change in control, perquisites, deferred compensation or retention plans, programs, and arrangements) provided to similarly situated employees of HoldCo or any of its Subsidiaries). Without limiting the foregoing:

(i) During the Continuation Period, EDR and New PubCo shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each Continuing Employee who suffers a termination of employment, severance payments and benefits that are no less favorable than those that would have been provided to such Continuing Employee upon such a termination of employment under WWE Employee Plans set forth on Section 6.3(a)(i) of the WWE Disclosure Letter as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(ii) Each Continuing Employee shall be given full service credit for all purposes (including eligibility to participate, levels of benefits, and eligibility for vesting under EDR’s, New PubCo’s and the Surviving Entity’s employee benefit plans and arrangements) to the extent such Continuing Employee is eligible to participate in such plans and arrangements and coverage under such plans and arrangements replaces coverage under a comparable WWE Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately prior to the Closing Date, with respect to his or her length of service with WWE or Xxxxxx (and its predecessors) prior to the Closing Date; provided that the foregoing shall not result in the duplication of benefits under any such employee benefit plan or arrangement or the funding of any such benefit or apply for purposes of any defined benefit pension plan or post-retirement health and welfare plan.

(iii) With respect to any accrued but unused personal, sick, or vacation time to which any Continuing Employee is entitled pursuant to the personal, sick, or

vacation policies applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, EDR and New PubCo shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to and instruct its Affiliates to, as applicable (and without duplication of benefits), assume, as of the Effective Time, the liability for such accrued personal, sick or vacation time and allow such Continuing Employee to use such accrued personal, sick or vacation time in accordance with the practice and policies of HoldCo.

(iv) To the extent that service is relevant for eligibility, vesting or allowances under any health or welfare benefit plan of EDR, New PubCo or the Surviving Entity, then EDR and New PubCo shall use reasonable best efforts to (A) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions, and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Continuing Employee, to the extent that such conditions, exclusions, and waiting periods would not apply under a similar employee benefit plan in which such employee participated prior to the Effective Time and (B) ensure that such health or welfare benefit plan shall, for purposes of eligibility, vesting, deductibles, co-payments, out-of-pocket maximums, and allowances, credit each Continuing Employee for service and amounts paid prior to the Effective Time with WWE (and its predecessors) to the same extent that such service and amounts paid were recognized prior to the Effective Time under the corresponding health or welfare benefit plan of WWE or HoldCo.

(b) The provisions of this Section 6.3 are solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement, no provision of this Section 6.3 is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise, and no current or former employee or other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions hereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any WWE Associate any right to continue in the employ or service of New PubCo, the Surviving Entity, EDR, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way any right that New PubCo, the Surviving Entity, EDR, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof may have to discharge or terminate the services of any WWE Associate at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.

Section 6.4 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

This Section 6.14, shall exclusively govern any indemnification for Formation Taxes and the manner in which matters relating to Formation Taxes are conducted and resolved.

With respect to any audit, examination or other proceeding or adjustment relating to HoldCo in respect of a Pre-Closing Tax Period that is potentially subject to a claim for indemnification for income Taxes made by an EDR Tax Indemnified Party, EDR OpCo shall be entitled to (i) direct that no election pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code (or similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. law) will be made and that the relevant liability will be paid as an “imputed underpayment” (or any similar amount imposed under similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. law) at the entity-level; or (ii) in the case of any audit, examination or other proceeding or adjustment where the election provided for in Section 6226 of the Code (or similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. law) is made (or where the relevant income Taxes are otherwise “pushed out” or imposed on the direct or indirect equityholders of HoldCo under applicable Law), bring a claim and recover Losses on behalf of all direct or indirect equity holders of HoldCo applying the assumptions regarding Tax rates set forth above (and with EDR OpCo entitled to recover 100% of such Losses).

iii. The Parties will (and will cause their Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce the incurrence of Taxes subject to indemnification under this Agreement (and in connection therewith EDR will, and will cause January Capital Sub, LLC to) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to reduce any “imputed underpayment” (or any similar amount imposed under similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. law) payable by HoldCo or its Subsidiaries on account of their status as corporations (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing contained in this Section 6.14(i)(i)(iii) will require any person to amend its Tax Returns or undertake an alternative to paying an imputed underpayment as provided in Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code).

iv. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the EDR Tax Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.14(i)(i)(i) with respect to income Taxes described in clause (a) of the definition of EDR Tax Amount if the EDR Tax Amount (redetermined to take into account the effects of any claim or adjustment) would be a positive amount (and then indemnification shall be available for such Taxes only to the extent of such positive amount). For the avoidance of doubt, EDR Tax Indemnified Parties shall not be

entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.14(i)(i) for any claim for diminution in value of their interests in HoldCo as a result of Taxes paid by HoldCo or its Subsidiaries.

(ii) WWE Tax Matters

i. HoldCo hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless New PubCo and its officers, directors, agents, and Affiliates (excluding HoldCo and its Subsidiaries) (“New PubCo Tax Indemnified Parties”) from any Losses arising out of Tax liabilities of the New PubCo Tax Indemnified Parties incurred with respect to the operations or Tax items of WWE and WWE Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, income Tax liabilities for the U.S. federal income tax consolidated group of which WWE was the parent prior to the Closing) other than Formation Taxes.

ii. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the New PubCo Tax Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.14(i)(ii)(i) with respect to income Taxes described in clause (a) of the definition of WWE Tax Amount to the extent the WWE Tax Amount (redetermined to take into account the effects of any claim or adjustment) would be a positive amount (and then indemnification shall be available for such Taxes only to the extent of such positive amount). For the avoidance of doubt, WWE Tax Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.14(i)(ii) for any claim for diminution in value of their interests in HoldCo as a result of Taxes paid by HoldCo or its Subsidiaries.

(iii) The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate to characterize any indemnity or similar payments made pursuant to this Section 6.14 in a manner that is tax-efficient for the Parties, and in connection therewith intend any such payments to be treated as an adjustment to the value of property contributed to HoldCo in the WWE Transfer (or to the value of property owned by HoldCo immediately prior to the WWE Transfer) to the extent permitted by Law.

(j) EDR OpCo and WWE, acting reasonably, shall jointly determine the tax treatment of the settlement of the Convertible Note and related Call Spread Transaction pursuant to Section 6.9 (provided, that EDR OpCo shall not have any rights to determine such tax treatment to the extent such transactions could not have any adverse impact on EDR OpCo or its Affiliates or their direct or indirect equity holders). To the extent that failing to do so could result in any Tax-related impact to HoldCo or its Subsidiaries that is not immaterial, if requested by EDR OpCo at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Parties agree to proportionally increase the amounts described in clause (I) of the definition of “WWE Minimum Cash Amount” (the “WWE Base Amount”) and in clause (I) of the definition of “EDR Minimum Cash Amount” (the “EDR Base Amount”, and the sum of the EDR Base Amount and the WWE Base Amount, the “Aggregate Base Amount”) only to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid WWE LLC incurring and being required to pay after Closing state or local Tax for which it is not reimbursed by New PubCo attributable to the WWE Transfer being treated as a disguised sale of assets (taking into account any exceptions to disguised sale treatment); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, after any increase contemplated by this sentence, the WWE Base Amount shall

constitute 49% of the Aggregate Base Amount and the EDR Base Amount shall constitute 51% of the Aggregate Base Amount.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnities set forth in this Section 6.14 shall survive until 30 days after the date upon which the Loss to which any such claim may relate is barred by all applicable statutes of limitations (including all periods of extension, whether automatic or permissive). Other than as provided for in Section 8.3(g), Section 8.4 and Section 8.7, this Section 6.14 shall exclusively govern all claims for Losses arising from the indemnities provided for in Section 6.14(i) and the rights, obligations and procedures related to any such claims (for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations and procedures set forth in Section 8.3 and Section 8.6 shall not apply to claims arising from the indemnities set forth in Section 6.14(i)).

(l) At or prior to the Closing, New PubCo shall deliver to HoldCo a duly completed and properly executed IRS Form W-9.

Section 6.15 HoldCo Audited Financials.

(a) EDR shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver to WWE the audited financial statements of HoldCo required under the Securities Act to be included in the Registration Statement (the “HoldCo Audited Financial Statements”), which financial statements shall include the balance sheet of HoldCo as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022 and statement of income and cash flows of HoldCo as of December 31, 2020, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022 and be prepared in accordance with GAAP and Regulation S-X, together with all related notes and schedules thereto, accompanied by an audit report of Deloitte & Touche LLP (the “Auditor”), as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof. WWE and its applicable Affiliates shall execute any customary documentation required by the Auditor to receive the HoldCo Audited Financial Statements.

(b) In addition, EDR and WWE shall each use their reasonable best efforts to provide information reasonably necessary to prepare, and shall reasonably cooperate in the preparation of, any pro forma financial statements and related footnotes to the extent required to be included in the Registration Statement

(c) To the extent required by SEC rules and regulations to be included in the Registration Statement, EDR shall deliver to WWE as promptly as reasonably practicable following the end of each financial quarter, any unaudited financial statements of HoldCo required under the Securities Act to be included in the Registration Statement and be prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Section 6.16 Ancillary Documents. Between the date hereof and the Closing, WWE and EDR shall each use reasonable best efforts to negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of and to enter into and/or adopt, as applicable (and shall cause their respective applicable Affiliates to enter into and/or adopt, as applicable) the HoldCo Operating Agreement (on substantially the terms set forth in the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit E), the Initial

WWE LLC Operating Agreement, the Services Agreements (on substantially the terms set forth in the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit G), the New PubCo cash management policy (on substantially the terms set forth in the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit H), the registration rights agreement (on substantially the terms set forth in the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit F) (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and the Governance Agreement (on substantially the terms set forth the form of Exhibit J), in each case effective as of Closing. Between the date hereof and the Closing, WWE and EDR shall each use reasonable best efforts to negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of and (as applicable) enter into and/or adopt, as applicable (and shall cause HoldCo to enter into and/or adopt, as applicable) the Services Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Parties are unable, prior to the Closing, to enter into the Services Agreements or the Registration Rights Agreement, then, following the Closing, the terms set forth on Exhibits F and G shall be binding on the Parties and the Parties shall operate in accordance therewith.

Section 6.17 Carve-Out Matters.

(a) In the event that at any time following the Closing until the date that is five (5) years following the Closing, EDR or any EDR Affiliate (other than HoldCo and the HoldCo Subsidiaries) shall possess any asset that is primarily used or primarily held for use in, or otherwise primarily related to or primarily arising from, the HoldCo business, then EDR, promptly following its actual awareness of such fact, shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such asset to HoldCo or a HoldCo Subsidiary (as designated by HoldCo in writing) and HoldCo or such HoldCo Subsidiary shall accept any such asset for no additional consideration. In the event that at any time following the Closing until the date that is five (5) years following the Closing, EDR or any EDR Affiliate (other than HoldCo and the HoldCo Subsidiaries) identifies any Assumed Liability, then EDR, promptly following its actual awareness of such fact, shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Assumed Liability to HoldCo or a HoldCo Subsidiary (as designated by HoldCo in writing) and HoldCo or such HoldCo Subsidiary shall assume any such Assumed Liability for no additional consideration.

(b) In the event that at any time following the Closing until the date that is five (5) years following the Closing, HoldCo or any HoldCo Subsidiary shall possess any asset that is primarily used or primarily held for use in, or otherwise primarily related to or primarily arising from, the businesses of EDR and its Subsidiaries (other than the business of HoldCo, and its Subsidiaries), then New PubCo, promptly following its actual awareness of such fact, shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such asset or liability to EDR or an EDR Affiliate (as designated by EDR in writing and other than New PubCo and its Subsidiaries) and EDR or such Affiliate of EDR shall accept any such asset for no additional consideration. In the event that at any time following the Closing until the date that is five (5) years following the Closing, HoldCo or any HoldCo Subsidiary identifies any Retained Liability, then New PubCo, promptly following its actual awareness of such fact, shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Retained Liability to EDR or an EDR Affiliate (as designated by EDR in writing and other than New PubCo and its Subsidiaries) and EDR or such Affiliate of EDR shall assume such Assumed Liability for no additional consideration.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to any Legal Proceeding set forth on Section 6.17(c) of the EDR Disclosure Letter and any similar Legal Proceedings, including matters related to the same legal claims or underlying facts (collectively, the “HoldCo Legal Proceedings”), XxxxXx and its Subsidiaries shall be solely responsible for all liabilities in connection with such HoldCo Legal Proceedings (and the defense thereof) and shall, following the Closing, indemnify and hold harmless EDR and its Affiliates (including any investor of EDR but excluding New PubCo and its Subsidiaries) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives and their respective successors and assigns for all liabilities, Losses and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including the settlement thereof) whether incurred prior to or following the Closing. The Parties will cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts to have EDR and any of its Affiliates (including any investor of EDR but excluding New PubCo and its Subsidiaries) removed and released as a named party to such HoldCo Legal Proceeding.

(d) With respect to any Legal Proceeding set forth on Section 6.17(d) of the WWE Disclosure Letter (the “EDR Legal Proceedings” and together, with the HoldCo Legal Proceedings, the “Specified Legal Proceedings”), EDR or its Subsidiaries shall be solely responsible for all liabilities in connection with such EDR Legal Proceedings (and the defense thereof) and shall, following the Closing indemnify and hold harmless HoldCo or its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives and their respective successors and assigns for any liabilities, Losses and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including the settlement thereof) whether incurred prior to or following the Closing. Following the Closing, the Parties will cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts to have HoldCo and its Subsidiaries removed and released as a named party to such EDR Legal Proceeding.

(e) Following the Closing, other than with respect to any Specified Legal Proceeding, (which shall be solely subject to Sections 6.17(c) and 6.17(d)), in the event of any Legal Proceeding by a third party which either (I) names as a party both EDR or its Subsidiaries (other than New PubCo and its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and New PubCo and its Subsidiaries, on the other, or (II) imposes (or purports to impose) liabilities on a Party (or its Affiliates) relating to the conduct of both the business of New PubCo and its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, HoldCo and its Subsidiaries) and the business of EDR (other than the business of HoldCo or its Subsidiaries) (each of clause (I) and (II), a “Shared Litigation” and together with any Specified Legal Proceeding, the “Carve-Out Litigation”), then each of EDR and New PubCo (or their applicable Affiliates) shall be entitled to defend such Shared Litigation to the extent of any claims brought against such Party or its Affiliate named thereto or to the extent of any liabilities for which such Party is responsible in respect thereof (i.e., EDR shall be entitled to defend such Shared Litigation to the extent of any liabilities relating to the conduct of business of EDR other than the business of HoldCo or its Subsidiaries and New PubCo shall be entitled to defend such Shared Litigation to the extent of any liabilities relating to the conduct of the HoldCo business). The Parties shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the defense of any such Shared Litigation and counsel for the Shared Litigation shall be jointly agreed by EDR and New PubCo and the costs and expenses of counsel for the Shared Litigation shall be allocated among the Parties in the same manner as the other liabilities for such Shared Litigation. No Party shall consent to the entry of any judgement, or enter into any settlement or compromise, with respect to any Shared Litigation without the prior written consent of the other Party (which

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that (i) each Party shall be entitled to consent to the entry of any judgement, or enter into any settlement or compromise of a portion of such Shared Litigation, to the extent solely related to any liabilities for which such Party is responsible under this Section 6.17(e), so long as such judgment, settlement or compromise does not materially and adversely impact the ability of the other Party to defend, settle or compromise any remaining portion of such Shared Litigation or otherwise materially increase such other Party’s exposure or liability under such remaining portion of such Shared Litigation and (ii) in the event that either Party or its Affiliates is a named party to such Shared Litigation, but such Shared Litigation relates solely to liabilities for which the other Party is responsible under Section 6.17(e), then the Parties will cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts to have the non-responsible Party removed and released as a named party to such Shared Litigation. Each of EDR and HoldCo shall be responsible for all liabilities, Losses and expenses arising out of any Shared Litigation in proportion to which such Shared Litigation relates to the business of EDR and its Affiliates (other than HoldCo and its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and New PubCo or its Subsidiaries, on the other hand.

Section 6.18 Insurance. From and after the Closing Date, HoldCo and its Subsidiaries shall cease to be insured by EDR’s or its Affiliates’ (other than HoldCo and its Subsidiaries) insurance policies or self-insured program (collectively, the “EDR Insurance Policies”), and any EDR Insurance Policies shall continue in force only for the benefit of EDR and its Affiliates (other than HoldCo and its Subsidiaries) and not for the benefit of New PubCo or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses and New PubCo and its Subsidiaries shall arrange for their own insurance policies with respect to the HoldCo business; provided that HoldCo and its Subsidiaries shall continue to have the benefit of any policy that, by its terms, covers and permits claims by HoldCo and its Subsidiaries in respect of acts, omissions and events occurring prior to the Closing (to the extent any such claim by HoldCo and its Subsidiaries relates to the business of HoldCo and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, EDR and WWE may mutually agree prior to the Closing Date to the extent commercially available and reasonable, to permit HoldCo and its Subsidiaries to continue to be insured by EDR Insurance Policies from and after the Closing Date (and, in such case, New PubCo and its Subsidiaries hereby agree (i) to cooperate in the pursuit of any claim(s) under such EDR Insurance Policies, (ii) not to conduct or take part in any such grossly negligent activities that may jeopardize the insurance coverage provided by, or cause material changes to insurance premiums to, the EDR Insurance Policies and (iii) agree to compensate EDR for an allocation of the insurance premium in respect of any such EDR Insurance Policies deemed commercially reasonable by the Parties).

Section 6.19 Other Actions. WWE shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to take the actions set forth on Section 6.19 of the WWE Disclosure Letter.

(b) For purposes of Section 8.2(b) above, any breach of the representations and warranties made in Section 4.11 or Section 4.23 (and the calculation of Losses arising, resulting from or relating thereto) shall be determined without regard to any materiality qualifications set forth in such representation or warranty, and all references to the terms “material”, “HoldCo Material Adverse Effect” or any similar terms shall be given no effect and shall be disregarded in their entirety for purposes of determining whether such representation or warranty was breached and the amount of Losses arising out of or resulting from any such breach of representation or warranty.

To the extent that any Loss is recovered by the Party seeking or entitled to indemnification under an insurance policy or any other source of indemnification is realized after the date that an indemnity payment is made hereunder, then the Party seeking or entitled to indemnification shall pay to the Party obligated to provide such indemnity such amounts (net of associated reasonable out-of-pocket costs) no later than five days after such proceeds are received (but not to exceed the amount of the indemnity payment).

(g) The Parties shall cooperate, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to cooperate, with respect to resolving any claim, liability or other Loss with respect to which a Party is obligated to indemnify under this Article VII, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Loss for which indemnification is sought under this Agreement; provided, however, that the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such mitigation shall constitute Losses for purposes of this Agreement. In the event that a Party shall fail to use such commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the Party obligated to indemnify shall not be required to indemnify the Party seeking or entitled to indemnification for any loss, liability, claim, damage, expense or other Loss that would reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the first Party had made such efforts to mitigate.

Section 8.4 Tax Treatment of Indemnification. The Parties intend any indemnity payments under this Agreement to be treated in a manner consistent with Section 6.14(i)(iii).

Section 8.5 Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as applicable, shall terminate as specified in Section 9.2; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which a Party seeking or entitled to indemnity shall have,

before the expiration of the applicable period, delivered a notice of such claim in writing (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2.

Section 8.6 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims. In order for a Party (in such capacity, the “Indemnified Person”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 8.1 in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any third Person against the other party (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Person” and any such third-party claim, a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Person must notify the Indemnifying Person in writing (and in reasonable detail) of the Third Party Claim within ten (10) business days after receipt by Indemnified Person of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give, or delaying in giving, such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Person shall deliver to the Indemnifying Person, promptly following the Indemnified Person’s receipt thereof, copies of all written notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Person relating to the Third Party Claim; provided, further, that failure to provide, or delay in providing, such copies shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) Assumption. If a Third Party Claim is made against the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Person that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person; provided, that the Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to assume or continue control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal Proceeding, (ii) the Third Party Claim principally seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Person, (iii) the Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Person’s business or principally relates to its customers or (iv) the Indemnifying Person has failed or is failing to use diligent and good faith efforts to defend or prosecute the Third Party Claim. Should the Indemnifying Person so elect in writing to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, (x) the Indemnifying Person shall defend such Third Party Claim in good faith and (y) the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, that if on the advice of counsel to the Indemnified Person, (1) there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (2) there exists reasonable likelihood of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Person determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, subject to the immediately preceding sentence, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person, it being understood that the Indemnifying Person shall control such defense. the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Person for any period during which the Indemnifying Person has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any

period in which the Indemnified Person shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). If the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the indemnified parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof upon the request of, and at the sole cost and expense of, the Indemnifying Person. Such cooperation shall include the retention of, and upon the Indemnifying Person’s written request, the provision of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim (which shall be subject to Section 5.1 and Section 6.14(h)). Whether or not the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Person’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Person may recommend and that by its terms (i) involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction, equitable relief or other nonmonetary relief against any the Indemnified Person, including the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Person, (ii) contains an unconditional release of each the Indemnified Person with respect to such Third Party Claim, (iii) includes no finding or admission of fault or misconduct by the Indemnified Person, and (iv) obligates the Indemnifying Person to pay the full amount of the liability in connection therewith (a settlement, compromise or discharge meeting all requirements of clauses (i) through (iv), a “Specified Settlement”); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Person shall not, without prior written consent of the Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim except if such settlement, compromise or offer is a Specified Settlement.

(c) If the Indemnifying Person is not entitled to, or does not elect to, assume or control the defense of a Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnified Person shall have the right to conduct such defense, and (ii) the Indemnified Person may only consent to entry of any judgment upon, or settle, compromise or discharge any such Third Party Claim, with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) Other Claims. In the event the Indemnified Person should have a claim against the Indemnifying Person under Section 8.1 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person shall promptly deliver written notice of such claim (describing such claim in reasonable detail) to the Indemnifying Person. Subject to Section 8.5 and Section 8.7, the failure by the Indemnified Person to so notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Person under Section 8.1, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure. If the Indemnifying Person does not notify the Indemnified Person within thirty (30) calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Person disputes its liability to the Indemnified Person under Section 8.1, such claim specified by the Indemnified Person in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Person under Section 8.1 and the Indemnifying Person shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Person on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is

estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 6.14, and not this Section 8.6, shall govern Tax Contests and third party claims primarily related to Taxes.

(e) Payment of Indemnification. Any payment due from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article VIII shall be settled, as determined by EDR in its sole discretion, by either (i) immediately available cash or (ii) the issuance to New PubCo of such number of additional Membership Interest of HoldCo that have a value equal to such due payment, assuming for this purpose, that each unit of Membership Interest has the value ascribed to each unit of Membership Interests as of the Closing (or alternatively, by undertaking a transfer of a portion of the Membership Interest in HoldCo owned by the EDR Subscribers that achieves the same economic effect as such issuance).

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

Section 9.1 Termination and Abandonment. This Agreement may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time:

(a) by the mutual written consent of WWE and XXX;

(b) by either WWE or EDR if (i) the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before January 2, 2024 (provided that if, as of such date, all conditions set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2, and Section 7.3 shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that are to be satisfied by action taken at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied) other than the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(c) (but only to the extent the applicable Legal Restraint relates to Antitrust Laws), then such date shall automatically be extended by three (3) months on up to two (2) occasions (as may be so extended, the “End Date”)) and (ii) the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall not have breached (and, in the case of EDR, EDR OpCo and HoldCo shall also not have breached, and in the case of WWE, New PubCo and Xxxxxx Sub shall also not have breached) in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement in any manner that shall have principally caused the failure to consummate the Merger on or before such date;

(c) by either WWE or EDR if (i) any Governmental Body having jurisdiction over EDR or WWE shall have issued a Legal Restraint, and such Legal Restraint shall have become final and nonappealable and (ii) the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) shall not have breached or failed to perform in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement in any manner that shall have principally caused the imposition of such Legal Restraint or the failure of such Legal Restraint to be resolved or lifted;

(d) by WWE, if EDR, EDR OpCo or HoldCo shall have breached in any material respect any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement in this Agreement, in each case, which breach (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a), or Section 7.2(b) and (ii) cannot be cured by the End Date or, if curable, is not cured within thirty (30) business days following WWE’s delivery of written notice to EDR stating WWE’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) and the basis for such termination; provided that

WWE is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, agreement, or covenant in this Agreement that would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a), or Section 7.3(b);

(e) by WWE, if (i) the HoldCo Audited Financial Statements have not been delivered to WWE on or before July 1, 2023 or (ii) upon delivery to WWE of the HoldCo Audited Financial Statements, the condition set forth in Section 7.2(f)(ii) is not satisfied; provided, the right of WWE to terminate this Agreement under Section 9.1(e)(i) shall immediately expire upon the delivery of the HoldCo Audited Financial Statements; provided, further, the right of WWE to terminate this Agreement under Section 9.1(e)(ii) shall expire at 5:00 p.m. on the 20th business day following the date on which the HoldCo Audited Financial Statements were delivered to WWE.

(f) by EDR, if WWE, New PubCo or Merger Sub shall have breached in any material respect any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement in this Agreement, in each case, which breach (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a), or Section 7.3(b) and (ii) cannot be cured by the End Date or, if curable, is not cured with thirty (30) business days following EDR’s delivery of written notice to WWE stating EDR’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) and the basis for such termination; provided that EDR, EDR OpCo or HoldCo is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, agreement, or covenant in this Agreement that would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a), or Section 7.2(b);

(g) by EDR, if the WWE Board shall have effected an Adverse Recommendation Change; and

(h) by EDR if the WWE Written Consent shall not have been delivered to WWE by the time that is twelve (12) hours after signing this Agreement.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, (a) the terminating Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other Parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, (b) this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and the Transactions shall be abandoned, each as of the date of termination, and (c) there shall be no liability on the part of any EDR Party or WWE Party following any such termination; provided that (i) Section 3.27, Section 4.25, this Section 9.2, Section 9.3, Section 10.3 and Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect, (ii) the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect, in accordance with its terms, and (iii) subject to Section 10.3, the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any Party from any liability for Fraud or Willful Breach.

Section 9.3 EDR Termination Fee.

(a) If this Agreement shall be terminated by EDR pursuant to (i) Section 9.1(g), then WWE shall pay to EDR OpCo (or its designee) $270,000,000 or (ii) Section 9.1(h), then WWE shall pay to EDR OpCo (or its designee) $90,000,000, in each case, in accordance with Section 9.3(b) (any amount payable under this Section 9.3(a), the “EDR Termination Fee”).

(b) In the event the EDR Termination Fee becomes payable by WWE pursuant to Section 9.3(a), it shall be paid to EDR OpCo (or EDR OpCo’s designees) by WWE in immediately available funds within two Business Days after the date of the event giving rise to the obligation to make such payment.

(c) The Parties agree that the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. Each of the Parties further acknowledges that the payment of the amounts by WWE specified in this Section 9.3 is not a penalty, but, in each case, is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the EDR Parties in the circumstances in which such fees are payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Accordingly, if WWE fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to Section 9.3(b) and, in order to obtain such payment, any of the EDR Parties commences a claim that results in a judgment against WWE for WWE Termination Fee or any portion thereof, WWE will pay to Parent its out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Claim, together with interest on the amount due at the annual rate of 5% plus the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date that such payment was required to be made through the date that such payment was actually received, or a lesser rate that is the maximum permitted by applicable Law. In no event shall (i) WWE be required to pay the EDR Termination Fee on more than one occasion and (ii) EDR be entitled to both specific performance to cause WWE to consummate the Closing in accordance with the terms hereof and the payment of the EDR Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 9.3.

Article X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 10.1 Amendment. Prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement may be amended with the approval of each of the WWE Board and the EDR Executive Committee at any time. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.

Section 10.2 Waiver. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any power, right, privilege, or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege, or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege, or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege, or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege, or remedy. No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege, or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege, or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

Section 10.3 No Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants. None of the representations and warranties or covenants in this Agreement, the WWE Disclosure Letter, the EDR Disclosure Letter or any certificate or schedule or other document delivered pursuant to

this Agreement shall survive the Merger, except that those covenants that by their terms survive or contemplate performance after the Effective Time (which shall survive until fully performed) and this Article X and any applicable defined term in Exhibit A shall survive the Effective Time.

Section 10.4 Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement, the Governance Agreement and the other agreements, exhibits, annexes, and schedules referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided that the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded and shall remain in full force and effect; provided, further, that, if the Effective Time occurs, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by PDF shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 10.5 Applicable Laws; Jurisdiction; Specific Performance; Remedies.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, Delaware Law, without giving effect to any law, rule, or provision that would cause the application of any Law other than Delaware Law. The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that: (i) the requirements of 6 Del. C. § 2708 are satisfied by the provisions of this Agreement and that such statute mandates the application of Delaware Law to this Agreement, the relationship of the Parties, the Transactions, and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of any Party; (ii) the Parties have a reasonable basis for the application of Delaware Law to this Agreement, the relationship of the Parties, the Transactions, and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of any Party; (iii) no other jurisdiction has a materially greater interest in the foregoing; and (iv) the application of Delaware Law would not be contrary to the fundamental policy of any other jurisdiction that, absent the Parties’ choice of Delaware Law hereunder, would have an interest in the foregoing.

(b) Subject to Section 10.5(d), in any action or Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions (including any amount due or payable in connection therewith or any matter arising out of or relating to the termination of either of them), each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any other state or federal court in the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”); (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction of such Chosen Court by motion, other request for leave, or other Legal Proceeding; (iii) agrees that any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be brought, tried, and determined only in the Chosen Courts; (iv) waives any claim of improper venue or any claim that the appropriate Chosen Court is an inconvenient forum; and (v) agrees that it will not bring any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court or elsewhere other than the Chosen Courts. Each of the Parties irrevocably consents to service of process in the same manner as for the giving of notices under Section 10.8 or any other manner permitted by applicable Law. A final judgment in any action or Legal Proceeding commenced in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be

conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law; provided that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any Party’s right to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment.

(c) The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any Party does not perform its obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. Subject to the following sentence, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other non-monetary equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the Chosen Courts without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement. No Party shall oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any Party seeking any injunction or other equitable relief to prevent any breach of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.5(c) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. In the event that a Party initiates a Legal Proceeding seeking equitable relief pursuant to this Section 10.5(c), the End Date shall automatically be extended to (x) the twentieth (20^th) business day following the date on which such Legal Proceeding is finally resolved or (y) such other date established by the Chosen Court presiding over such Legal Proceeding.

(d) EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

Section 10.6 Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any right hereunder may be assigned without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any such right without such consent shall be void ab initio and of no effect.

Section 10.7 No Third-Party Beneficiary. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the Parties) any power, right, privilege, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except for: (a) the provisions of Article II (which, from and after the Effective Time, shall be for the express benefit of, and enforceable by, each holder of WWE Common Stock or WWE Equity Awards as of the Effective Time), Section 6.4 (which, from and after the Effective Time, shall be for the benefit of the D&O Indemnified Persons), Section 6.14(c) and Section 6.14(d) (which, from and after the Effective Time, shall be for the benefit of and enforceable by the Applicable Directors), Article VIII (which, to the extent it relates to New PubCo, shall be for the benefit of and enforceable by the Applicable Directors) and the New PubCo Cash Management Policy Term Sheet (which shall be for the benefit of and enforceable by the individuals named therein) and (b) the

limitations on liability of WWE Parties set forth in Section 10.3 (which shall be for the express benefit of, and enforceable by, each of WWE Parties).

Section 10.8 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any Party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and received (a) upon receipt when delivered by hand, (b) two (2) business days after being sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, or by nationally recognized overnight courier or express delivery service, (c) if sent by email transmission prior to 6:00 p.m. recipient’s local time, upon transmission (provided that no “bounce back” or similar message of non-delivery is received with respect thereto), or (d) if sent by email transmission after 6:00 p.m. recipient’s local time, on the business day following the date of transmission (provided that no “bounce back” or similar message of non-delivery is received with respect thereto); provided that, in each case, the notice or other communication is sent to the physical address or email address set forth beneath the name of such Party as follows (or to such other physical address or email address as such Party shall have specified in a written notice given to the other Parties):

Section 10.9 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties shall not object to the court making such determination having the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid, enforceable, and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power available to it in the prior sentence, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will most closely achieve the economic, business, and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

Section 10.10 Expenses. Except as set forth in the last sentence of Section 6.2(d), all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses, if the Transactions are not consummated. If a Party is in compliance with their applicable obligations pursuant to Section 1.7 or Section 1.8 (as applicable) and the Transactions are consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions by such Party or their Subsidiaries shall be paid by HoldCo (provided, that nothing in this Section 10.10 shall alter the allocation of responsibility

101

for Taxes established by Section 6.14). Each Party shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver to HoldCo, at least one (1) business day prior to the Closing all outstanding invoices related to such fees and expenses. HoldCo shall concurrently with the Closing pay all such fees and expenses.

Section 10.11 Obligations of the Parties. EDR shall cause EDR OpCo and HoldCo to comply with, duly perform, satisfy, and discharge, on a timely basis, all of their respective covenants, obligations, and liabilities under this Agreement, and EDR shall be liable for the due and timely performance, satisfaction, and discharge of each of the said covenants, obligations, and liabilities. Any consent or waiver by EDR under this Agreement shall be deemed to also be a consent or waiver by EDR OpCo and HoldCo. WWE shall cause New PubCo and Xxxxxx Sub to comply with, duly perform, satisfy, and discharge, on a timely basis, all of their respective covenants, obligations, and liabilities under this Agreement, and WWE shall be liable for the due and timely performance, satisfaction, and discharge of each of the said covenants, obligations, and liabilities. Any consent or waiver by WWE under this Agreement shall be deemed to also be a consent or waiver by New PubCo and Merger Sub.

Section 10.12 Transfer Taxes. Except as expressly provided in Article II, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value-added, and other similar Taxes, and fees incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid or reimbursed by XxxxXx when due.

Section 10.13 Disclosure Letters. The disclosures set forth in any particular part or subpart of the WWE Disclosure Letter or the EDR Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of): (a) the representations and warranties or covenants of WWE or EDR, as applicable, that are set forth in the corresponding section or subsection of this Agreement and (b) any other representation and warranty or covenant of WWE or EDR, as applicable, that is set forth in this Agreement to the extent, in the case of this clause (b), the relevance of that disclosure as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such other representation and warranty or covenant is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. No Party may deem the mere inclusion of an item in the WWE Disclosure Letter or the EDR Disclosure Letter, as applicable, as an exception to a representation and warranty or covenant as an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event, or circumstance or that such item is material or constitutes a WWE Material Adverse Effect or a HoldCo Material Adverse Effect, as applicable (and no Party concedes such materiality or effect by its inclusion), and no reference to, or disclosure of, any item or other matter in the WWE Disclosure Letter or the EDR Disclosure Letter shall necessarily imply that any other undisclosed matter or item having a greater value or significance is material.

Section 10.14 Construction.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; and one gender shall include all other genders.

(b) The Parties agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

102

(c) As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

(d) Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections,” “Exhibits,” “Annexes,” “Letter”, and “Schedules” are intended to refer to sections of this Agreement and Exhibits, Annexes, Letters and Schedules to this Agreement, as applicable.

Accordingly, following the Closing, New PubCo hereby (A) agrees that EDR Counsel may represent New PubCo and its Subsidiaries (B) waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation by one or more EDR Counsel of one or more Designated Persons in connection with one or more Post-Closing Matters (each of clauses (A) and (B), a “Post-Closing Representation”), and (C) agrees that, in the event that a Post-Closing Matter arises, EDR Counsel may represent one or more Designated Persons in a Post-Closing Matter even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to New PubCo or any of its Affiliates, and even though EDR Counsel may (x) have represented EDR, HoldCo or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates in a matter substantially related to such dispute or (y) be currently representing EDR, HoldCo or any of their respective Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, New PubCo (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) consents to the disclosure by EDR Counsel, in connection with one or more Post-Closing Representations, to the Designated Persons of any information learned by EDR Counsel in the course of one or more Existing Representations, whether or not such information is subject to the attorney-client privilege of New PubCo, HoldCo and their respective Affiliates (other than EDR and its Subsidiaries) or EDR Counsel’s duty of confidentiality as to New PubCo, HoldCo and their respective Affiliates (other than EDR and its Subsidiaries) and whether or not such disclosure is made before or after the Closing.

104

(b) Attorney-Client Privilege. In the event of any requests from any Designated Person, New PubCo agrees that it shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause its Subsidiaries to not assert, any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or expectation of client confidence with respect to any pre-Closing communication between any EDR Counsel, on the one hand, and any Designated Person or HoldCo (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Designated Persons”), or any advice given to any Pre-Closing Designated Person by EDR Counsel, occurring prior to the Closing during one or more Existing Representations (collectively, “Pre-Closing Privileges”) in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute between any Designated Person and one or more of New PubCo, HoldCo and their respective Subsidiaries, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all rights to such Pre-Closing Privileges, and all rights to waive or otherwise control such Pre-Closing Privilege, shall be retained by EDR, and shall not pass to or be claimed or used by New PubCo or HoldCo, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.15(b). Furthermore, New PubCo acknowledges and agrees that any advice given to or communication with any of the Designated Persons prior to the Closing shall not be subject to any joint privilege (whether or not HoldCo also received such advice or communication prior to the Closing) and shall be owned solely by such Designated Persons. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a dispute arises between New PubCo, on the one hand, and a third party other than a Designated Person, on the other hand, New PubCo shall cause HoldCo and its Subsidiaries to assert the Pre-Closing Privileges on behalf of the Designated Persons to prevent disclosure of privileged materials to such third party; provided, however, that such privilege may be waived only with the prior written consent of EDR.

(c) Conflicts of Interest. Each of the EDR Parties acknowledges that Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP (“XxXxxxx Counsel”) have, on or prior to the Closing, represented Xx. Xxxxxxx X. XxXxxxx and certain of his Affiliates (the “XxXxxxx Persons”) in one or more matters including but not limited to matters relating to this Agreement, other agreements contemplated hereby and the Transactions (including any matter that may be related to a Legal Proceeding or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement or such other agreements or in connection with such transactions) (each, a “XxXxxxx Existing Representation”), and may continue those representations in the future in such matters. Moreover, in the event of any post-Closing matters (i) relating to this Agreement, any other agreements contemplated hereby or the Transactions (including any matter that may be related to a Legal Proceeding or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement or such other agreements or in connection with such transactions) and (ii) in which New PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries or equity holders of New PubCo or any of New PubCo’s Affiliates, on the one hand, and one or more XxXxxxx Person, on the other hand, are or may be adverse to each other (each, a “XxXxxxx Post-Closing Matter”), the XxXxxxx Persons reasonably anticipate that XxXxxxx Counsel may represent them in connection with such matters as well. Accordingly, following the Closing, New PubCo and each of the EDR Parties hereby (A) agrees that XxXxxxx Counsel may represent the XxXxxxx Persons, (B) waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation by one or more XxXxxxx Counsel of one or more XxXxxxx Persons in connection with one or more XxXxxxx Post-Closing Matters (each, a “XxXxxxx Post-Closing Representation”), and (C) agrees that, in the event that a XxXxxxx Post-Closing Matter arises, XxXxxxx Counsel may represent one or more XxXxxxx Persons in a XxXxxxx Post-Closing Matter even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to New PubCo or any of its Affiliates, and even though

105

XxXxxxx Counsel may (x) have represented EDR, XxxxXx, WWE or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates in a matter substantially related to such dispute or (y) be currently representing EDR, HoldCo, WWE or any of their respective Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, New PubCo (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) consents to the disclosure by EDR Counsel, in connection with one or more XxXxxxx Post-Closing Representations, to the XxXxxxx Persons of any information learned by XxXxxxx Counsel in the course of one or more XxXxxxx Existing Representations, whether or not such information is subject to the attorney-client privilege of New PubCo, HoldCo and their respective Affiliates (other than EDR and its Subsidiaries) or Prior Company Counsel’s duty of confidentiality as to New PubCo, HoldCo and their respective Affiliates (other than EDR and its Subsidiaries) and whether or not such disclosure is made before or after the Closing.

Each of the EDR Parties acknowledges that Xxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP (“WWE Counsel”) has, on or prior to the Closing, represented WWE and/or its Subsidiaries and/or certain directors and/or officers (the “WWE Persons”) in one or more matters including but not limited to matters relating to this Agreement, other agreements contemplated hereby and the Transactions (including any matter that may be related to a Legal Proceeding or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement or such other agreements or in connection with such transactions) (each, a “WWE Existing Representation”), and may continue to those representations in the future in such matters. Moreover, in the event of any post-Closing matters (i) relating to this Agreement, any other agreements contemplated hereby or the Transactions (including any matter that may be related to a Legal Proceeding or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement or such other agreements or in connection with such transactions) and (ii) in which New PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries or equity holders of New PubCo or any of New PubCo’s Affiliates, on the one hand, and one or more WWE Person, on the other hand, are or may be adverse to each other (each, a “WWE Post-Closing Matter”), the WWE Persons reasonably anticipate that WWE Counsel may represent them in connection with such matters as well. Accordingly, following the Closing, New PubCo and each of the EDR Parties hereby (A) agrees that WWE Counsel may represent New PubCo and its Subsidiaries, (B) waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation by one or more WWE Counsel of one or more WWE Persons in connection with one or more WWE Post-Closing Matters (each, a “WWE Post-Closing Representation”), and (C) agrees that, in the event that a WWE Post-Closing Matter arises, WWE Counsel may represent one or more WWE Persons in a WWE Post-Closing Matter even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to New PubCo and each of the EDR Parties or any of its Affiliates, and even though WWE Counsel may (x) have represented EDR, XxxxXx, WWE or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates in a matter substantially related to such dispute or (y) be currently representing EDR, HoldCo, WWE or any of their respective Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, New PubCo (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) consents to the disclosure by EDR Counsel, in connection with one or more WWE Post-Closing Representations, to the WWE Persons of any information learned by WWE Counsel in the course of one or more WWE Existing Representations, whether or not such information is subject to the attorney-client privilege of New PubCo, HoldCo and their respective Affiliates (other than EDR and its Subsidiaries) or Prior Company Counsel’s duty of confidentiality as to New PubCo, HoldCo and their respective Affiliates (other than EDR and its Subsidiaries) and whether or not such disclosure is made before or after the Closing.

Upon the filing and effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation (the “Effective Time”), all shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically without any further action by the Corporation or any stockholder, be reclassified, in the aggregate, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock.

4.2 Subject to the rights of the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, the number of authorized shares of any class of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased, in each case, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law, and no vote of the holders of

B-2

any class of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock voting separately as a class will be required therefore. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the number of authorized shares of any particular class may not be decreased below the number of shares of such class then outstanding, plus:

(a) in the case of Class A Common Stock, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in connection with the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants, exchange rights or redemption rights (including with respect to all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock to the extent redeemable for shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section [●]¹ of the HoldCo LLC Agreement) or similar rights for Class A Common Stock; and

(b) in the case of Class B Common Stock, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock issuable in connection with the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants, exchange rights, conversion rights or similar rights for Class B Common Stock.

5. Classes of Shares. The designation, relative rights, power and preferences, qualifications, restrictions and limitations of the shares of each class of stock are as follows:

5.1 Common Stock.

(a) Voting Rights.

(i) Each share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will entitle the record holder thereof to one vote on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote, except that, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of shares of each class of Common Stock, as such, will have no voting power with respect to, and will not be entitled to vote on, any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of any outstanding Preferred Stock if the holders of such Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a separate class thereon under this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or under the General Corporation Law.

(ii) Except as otherwise required in this Certificate of Incorporation or by applicable law, the holders of Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters (or, if any holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of Common Stock, as a single class with the holders of Preferred Stock).

(b) Dividends; Stock Splits or Combinations.

(i) Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference senior to or the right to participate with the Class A Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends, dividends of cash or property may be declared and paid on the Class A Common Stock out of the assets of the Corporation that are by law available therefor, at the times and in the amounts as the Board in its discretion may determine.

(ii) Except as provided in Section 5.1(b)(iii) with respect to stock dividends, dividends of cash or property may not be declared or paid on the Class B Common Stock.

(iii) In no event will any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of stock, reclassification or recapitalization be declared or made on any class of Common Stock (each, a “Stock Adjustment”) unless a corresponding Stock Adjustment for all other classes of Common Stock at the time outstanding is made in the same proportion and the same manner (unless the

Note to Draft: To provide for the transfer of membership interests in Holdco to New Whale and the redemption of Class B Common Stock in return for the issuance of Class A Common Stock.

B-3

holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of any such other class of Common Stock (voting separately as a single class) waive such requirement in advance and in writing, in which event no such Stock Adjustment need be made for such other class of Common Stock). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall be entitled to declare a stock dividend on the Class A Common Stock without any corresponding Stock Adjustment to the Class B Common Stock so long as, after the payment of such stock dividend on the Class A Common Stock, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (excluding any shares issuable upon the exercise of any options, warrants, restricted stock units, exchange rights, conversion rights or similar rights for Class A Common Stock and excluding any shares issuable as a result of any Redemption (as defined in the HoldCo LLC Agreement) pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section [●] of the HoldCo LLC Agreement (without regard to any timing, vesting or other restrictions on Redemption contained therein and assuming no Redemptions for cash)), does not exceed the number of Common Units owned by the Corporation. Dividends payable in shares of Common Stock with respect to each class of Common Stock may only be paid with shares of stock of the same class of Common Stock.

(c) Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation and of the preferential and other amounts, if any, to which the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled, if any, the holders of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive, pari passu, an amount per share equal to the par value thereof, and thereafter the holders of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by such holders. The holders of shares of Class B Common Stock, as such, will not be entitled to receive, with respect to such shares, any assets of the Corporation in excess of the par value thereof, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

5.2 Preferred Stock. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series of any number of shares, provided that the aggregate number of shares issued and not retired of any and all such series shall not exceed the total number of shares of Preferred Stock hereinabove authorized, and with such powers, including voting powers, if any, and the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, all as shall hereafter be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the designation and issue of such shares of Preferred Stock from time to time adopted by the Board. The powers, including voting powers, if any, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. Each series of shares of Preferred Stock: (i) may have such voting rights or powers, full or limited, if any; (ii) may be subject to redemption at such time or times and at such prices, if any; (iii) may be entitled to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative) at such rate or rates, on such conditions and at such times, and payable in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any other class or classes or series of stock, if any; (iv) may have such rights upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding up or dissolution of, upon any distribution of the assets of, or in the event of any merger, sale or consolidation of, the Corporation, if any; (v) may be made convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation (or any other securities of the Corporation or any other Person) at such price or prices or at such rates of exchange and with such adjustments, if any; (vi) may be entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund to be applied to the purchase or redemption of shares of such series in such amount or amounts, if any; (vii) may be entitled to the benefit of conditions and restrictions upon the creation of indebtedness of the Corporation or any subsidiary, upon the issue of any additional shares (including additional shares of such series or of any other series) and upon the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions on, and the purchase, redemption or other acquisition by the Corporation or any subsidiary of, any outstanding shares of the Corporation, if any; (viii) may be subject to restrictions on transfer or registration of transfer, or on the amount of shares that may be owned by any Person or group of Persons; and (ix) may have such other relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any; all as shall be stated in said resolution or resolutions of the Board providing for the designation and issue of such shares of Preferred Stock.

The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purposes of effecting any exchanges pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section [●] of the HoldCo LLC Agreement, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that are issuable in connection with the exchange of all outstanding Common Units as a result of any Redemption pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section [●] of the HoldCo LLC Agreement (without regard to any timing, vesting or other restrictions on Redemption contained therein and assuming no Redemptions for cash). The Corporation covenants that all the shares of Class A Common Stock that are issued upon any such redemption of such Common Units (together with the applicable number of shares of Class B Common Stock) will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

6.2 No Conversion Rights of Class A Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock shall not have any conversion rights.

In addition, in the event that holders of Class B Common Stock transfer shares of Class B Common Stock to the Corporation in connection with a Redemption of Common Units pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section [●] of the Holdco LLC Agreement, the Corporation shall take all necessary action to cause such shares to be retired, and such shares thereafter may not be reissued by the Corporation.

6.4 Taxes. The issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section [●] of the Holdco LLC Agreement will be made without charge to the holders receiving such shares for any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties or other similar tax in respect of the issuance (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any taxes pursuant to Section 1446(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder); provided, however, that if any such shares of Class A Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that of the then record-holder of the shares of Class B Common Stock being exchanged (or The Depository Trust Company or its nominee for the account of a participant of The Depository Trust Company that will hold the shares for the account of such holder), then such holder and/or the Person in whose name such shares are to be delivered, shall pay to the Corporation the amount of any transfer tax, stamp tax or duty or other similar tax that may be payable by the Corporation in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation that the tax has been paid or is not payable.

Subject to the applicable parties’ rights and obligations under any other contractual arrangement (including the Governance Agreement), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any Competitive Opportunity or other corporate, business or other opportunity that may be a Competitive Opportunity for an Identified Person and the Corporation or any of its controlled Affiliates. Subject to the applicable parties’ rights and obligations under any other contractual arrangement (including the Governance Agreement), in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a Competitive Opportunity or other corporate, business or other opportunity that may be a Competitive Opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or for its, her or his Affiliates, and for the Corporation or any of its controlled Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate, present or otherwise provide such opportunity to the Corporation or any of its controlled Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any controlled Affiliate of the Corporation or any other Person for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director or officer of the Corporation solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such Competitive Opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such Competitive Opportunity to another Person.

11.2 Any amendment or repeal of this Article 11 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director or officer hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment or repeal.

12. Indemnification.

12.1 To the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), the Corporation shall indemnify, and advance expenses to, any Person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director or officer of the Corporation or, while a Director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (each, an “Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Indemnitees”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a Director, officer, employee, agent or trustee, from and against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, other than an action against the Corporation brought by an Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights under this Article 12, the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify or advance expenses to any Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Person if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) was not authorized by the Board.

12.2 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article 12 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such Person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

12.3 To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article 12 or otherwise.

12.4 If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article 12 is not paid in full within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnitee has been received by the Corporation, the Indemnitee may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law. In (i) any suit brought by an Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by an Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, such Person has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including by members of the Board who are not parties to such action, a committee of such members, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law, nor an actual

B-8

determination by the Corporation (including by members of the Board who are not parties to such action, a committee of such members, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that such Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit.

12.5 The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any Person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or while a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him or her against such liability under the General Corporation Law or the provisions of this Article 12.

12.6 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article 12 shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a Director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such officer or Director. The indemnification and advancement of expenses that may have been provided to an employee or agent of the Corporation by action of the Board, pursuant to Section 12.10, shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a Person who has ceased to be an employee or agent of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a Person, after the time such Person has ceased to be an employee or agent of the Corporation, only on such terms and conditions and to the extent determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

12.7 Given that certain claims may be jointly indemnifiable (“Jointly Indemnifiable Claims”) by the Corporation, its Controlled Entities (as defined below) or Indemnitee-Related Entities (as defined below) in respect of the service of Indemnitee as a Director and/or executive officer of the Corporation and/or a director, executive officer, employee, consultant, fiduciary or agent of other corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, joint ventures, trusts, employee benefit plans or other enterprises controlled by the Corporation (the “Controlled Entities”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in any such capacity, the Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause the Controlled Entities to, be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses in connection with any such Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, pursuant to and in accordance with (as applicable) the terms of (i) the General Corporation Law, (ii) this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws or (iii) any other agreement between the Corporation or any Controlled Entity and the Indemnitee pursuant to which the Indemnitee is indemnified, (iv) the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Controlled Entity and/or (v) the certificate of incorporation, certificate of organization, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or other organizational or governing documents of any Controlled Entity ((i) through (v) collectively, the “Indemnification Sources”), irrespective of any right of recovery the Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities. Under no circumstance shall the Corporation or any Controlled Entity be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by the Indemnitee-Related Entities and no right of advancement or recovery the Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the Indemnitee or the obligations of the Corporation or any Controlled Entity under the Indemnification Sources. In the event that any of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall make any payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, (i) the Corporation shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause the Controlled Entities to, reimburse the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment to the extent of such payment promptly upon written demand from such Indemnitee-Related Entity, (ii) to the extent not previously and fully reimbursed by the Corporation and/or any Controlled Entity pursuant to clause (i), the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of the outstanding balance of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Corporation and/or any Controlled Entity or under any insurance policy, as applicable, and (iii) the Indemnitee and the Corporation and, as applicable, any Controlled Entity shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitee-Related Entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. The Corporation and the Indemnitee agree that each of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 12.7.

B-9

12.8 “Indemnitee-Related Entities” means any company, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Corporation, any Controlled Entity or the insurer under and pursuant to an insurance policy of the Corporation or any Controlled Entity) from whom an Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to which, in whole or in part, the Corporation or any Controlled Entity may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation.

12.9 Any amendment or repeal of the foregoing provisions of this Article 12 shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any Indemnitee or its successors in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment or repeal.

12.10 This Article 12 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to Persons other than Indemnitees when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action.

13. Adoption, Amendment or Repeal of By-Laws. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by law, and subject to the terms of the Governance Agreement, the Board is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal the By-laws subject to the power of the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote with respect thereto to make, alter, amend or repeal the By-laws.

14. Adoption, Amendment and Repeal of Certificate. Subject to the terms of the By-laws and the Governance Agreement, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the General Corporation Law, and all rights, preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders, Directors or any other Persons whomsoever by and pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended, are granted and held subject to this reservation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, and notwithstanding that a lesser percentage may be permitted from time to time by applicable law, no provision of Articles 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 may be altered, amended or repealed in any respect, nor may any provision or by-law inconsistent therewith be adopted, unless in addition to any other vote required by this Certificate of Incorporation, the By-laws and/or the Governance Agreement, or otherwise required by law, such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors, voting together as a single class, at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose.

To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (a) specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board, (b) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by the Board or the chairperson of the meeting, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in person who (A)(1) was a stockholder of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.4 and at the time of the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (3) has complied with this Section 2.4 or (B) properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (as so amended and inclusive of such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Act”), which proposal has been included in the proxy statement for the annual meeting. The foregoing clause (c) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders. The only matters that may be brought before a special meeting are the matters specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Person calling the meeting pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation and Section 2.3 of these bylaws. For purposes of this Section 2.4 and Section 2.5 of these bylaws, as applicable, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the annual or special meeting of the Corporation, or, if the proposing stockholder is not an individual, a qualified representative of such proposing stockholder, appear at such annual meeting, and a “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be (A) any person who is authorized in writing by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders or (B), if such proposing stockholder is (x) a general or limited partnership, any general partner or Person who functions as a general partner of the general or limited partnership or who controls the general or limited partnership, (y) a corporation or a limited liability company, any officer or Person who functions as an officer of the corporation or limited liability company or any officer, director, general partner or Person who functions as an officer, director or general partner of any entity ultimately in control of the corporation or limited liability company or (z) a trust, any trustee of such trust. This Section 2.4 shall apply to any business that may be brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders other than nominations for election to the Board at an annual meeting, which shall be governed by Section 2.5 of these bylaws. Stockholders seeking to nominate persons for election to the Board must comply with Section 2.5 of these bylaws, and this Section 2.4 shall not be applicable to nominations for election to the Board except as expressly provided in Section 2.5 of these bylaws.

(ii) Without qualification, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2.4(iii)(c), (a) the stockholder must

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (which, in the case of the first annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the Corporation’s initial underwritten public offering of common stock, the preceding year’s annual meeting date shall be deemed to be May 19, 2022); provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not later than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made (such notice within such time periods, “Timely Notice”). In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period or extend a time period for the giving of Timely Notice as described above.

(iii) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.4, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

(a) As to each Proposing Person (as defined below), (A) the name and address of such Proposing Person (including, if applicable, the name and address that appear on the Corporation’s books and records); and (B) the number of shares of each class or series of stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such Proposing Person, except that such Proposing Person shall in all events be deemed to beneficially own any shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation as to which such Proposing Person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) are referred to as “Stockholder Information”);

(b) As to each Proposing Person, (A) the full notional amount of any securities that, directly or indirectly, underlie any “derivative security” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act) that constitutes a “call equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act) (“Synthetic Equity Position”) and that is, directly or indirectly, held or maintained by such Proposing Person with respect to any shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation; provided that, for the purposes of the definition of “Synthetic Equity Position,” the term “derivative security” shall also include any security or instrument that would not otherwise constitute a “derivative security” as a result of any feature that would make any conversion, exercise or similar right or privilege of such security or instrument becoming determinable only at some future date or upon the happening of a future occurrence, in which case the determination of the amount of securities into which such security or instrument would be convertible or exercisable shall be made assuming that such security or instrument is immediately convertible or exercisable at the time of such determination;

D-3

and, provided, further, that any Proposing Person satisfying the requirements of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (other than a Proposing Person that so satisfies Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act solely by reason of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E)) shall not be deemed to hold or maintain the notional amount of any securities that underlie a Synthetic Equity Position held by such Proposing Person as a hedge with respect to a bona fide derivatives trade or position of such Proposing Person arising in the ordinary course of such Proposing Person’s business as a derivatives dealer, (B) any rights to dividends on the shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (C) any material pending or threatened legal proceeding in which such Proposing Person is a party or material participant involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any Affiliate of the Corporation, (D) any other material relationship between such Proposing Person, on the one hand, and the Corporation or any Affiliate of the Corporation, on the other hand, (E) any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement of such Proposing Person with the Corporation or any Affiliate of the Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement), (F)any other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) through (F) are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”); provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner and (G) a representation whether any Proposing Person, intends or is part of a group which intends to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal and/or otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such proposal; and

(c) As to each item of business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in such business of each Proposing Person, (B) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration), (C) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other Person or entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder and (D) any other information relating to such item of business that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the disclosures required by this Section 2.4(iii) shall not include any disclosures with respect to any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a

(vii) In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.4 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, each Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such business. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to affect the rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

(viii) For purposes of these bylaws, “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

2.5 Advance Notice Procedures for Nominations of Directors.

(i) Subject in all respects to the provisions of the Governance Agreement and Certificate of Incorporation, nominations of any person for election to the Board at an annual meeting may be made at such meeting only (a) by or at the direction of the Board, including by any committee or persons authorized to do so by the Board or these bylaws, or (b) by a stockholder present in person (as defined in Section 2.4) who (1) was a beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.5 and at the time of the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (3) has complied with this Section 2.5 as to such notice and nomination. The foregoing clause (b) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at any annual meeting of stockholders other than in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

(ii) Without qualification, for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at an annual meeting, the stockholder must (a) provide Timely Notice (as defined in Section 2.4(ii) of these bylaws) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation, (b) provide the information, agreements and questionnaires with respect to such stockholder and its candidate for nomination as required by this Section 2.5, and (c) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.5. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period or extend a time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. The number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting (or in the case of a stockholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting on behalf of such beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting.

(iii) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.5, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

(a) As to each Nominating Person (as defined below), the Stockholder Information (as defined in Section 2.4(iii)(a) of these bylaws) except that for purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in Section 2.4(iii)(a);

(b) As to each Nominating Person, any Disclosable Interests (as defined in Section 2.4(iii)(b), except that for purposes of this Section 2.5 the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in Section 2.4(iii)(b) and the disclosure with respect to the business to be brought before the meeting in Section 2.4(iii)(c) shall be made with respect to nomination of each person for election as a director at the meeting) and a representation whether any Nominating Person intends or is part of a group which intends to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s

D-6

outstanding capital stock required to elect the nominee and/or otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such nomination; and

(c) As to each candidate whom a Nominating Person proposes to nominate for election as a director, (A) all information with respect to such candidate for nomination that would be required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice pursuant to this Section 2.5 if such candidate for nomination were a Nominating Person, (B) all information relating to such candidate for nomination that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14(a) under the Exchange Act (including such candidate’s written consent to being named in the Corporation’s proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected), (C) a description of any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement between or among any Nominating Person, on the one hand, and each candidate for nomination or his or her respective associates or any other participants in such solicitation, on the other hand, including, without limitation, all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 under Regulation S-K if such Nominating Person were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the candidate for nomination were a director or executive officer of such registrant, and (D) a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement as provided in Section 2.5(viii).

(iv) For purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “Nominating Person” shall mean (a) the stockholder providing the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting, (b) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting is made, (c) any other participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) in such solicitation and (d) any associate (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act for the purposes of these bylaws) of such stockholder or beneficial owner or any other participant in such solicitation.

(v) A stockholder providing notice of any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be true and correct as of the record date for notice of the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for notice of the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof).

(vi) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.5(ii) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board at the annual meeting is increased

D-7

effective after the time period for which nominations would otherwise be due under Section 2.5(ii) and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.5 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(vii) Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (1) by or at the direction of the Board or (2) provided that the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this Section 2.5 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.5. The number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the special meeting (or in the case of a stockholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the special meeting on behalf of such beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such special meeting. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any such stockholder entitled to vote in such election of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by Section 2.5(ii) shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which the Corporation first makes a public announcement of the date of the special meeting at which directors are to be elected. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(viii) To be eligible to be a candidate for election as a director of the Corporation at an annual meeting, a candidate must be nominated in the manner prescribed in this Section 2.5 (or otherwise in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation) and the candidate for nomination, whether nominated by the Board or by a stockholder of record, must have previously delivered (in the case of a nomination by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2.5(i)(b), in accordance with the time period prescribed in this Section 2.5 for delivery of the stockholder notice of nomination), to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, (a) a completed written questionnaire (in the form provided by the Corporation) with respect to the background, qualifications, stock ownership and independence of such candidate for nomination and (b) a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Corporation) that

D-8

such candidate for nomination (A) is not, and will not become a party to, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation or reimbursement for service as a director of the Corporation that has not been disclosed therein and (B) if elected as a director of the Corporation, will comply with all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, stock ownership and trading and other policies and guidelines of the Corporation applicable to all directors and in effect during such person’s term in office as a director (and, if requested by any candidate for nomination, the Secretary of the Corporation shall provide to such candidate for nomination all such policies and guidelines then in effect).

(ix) The Board may also require any proposed candidate for nomination as a Director to furnish such other information as may reasonably be requested by the Board in writing prior to the meeting of stockholders at which such candidate’s nomination is to be acted upon in order for the Board to determine the eligibility of such candidate for nomination to be an independent director of the Corporation in accordance with the Corporation’s corporate governance guidelines.

(x) In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.5 with respect to any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting, each Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such nominations.

(xi) No candidate shall be eligible for nomination as a director of the Corporation unless such candidate for nomination and the Nominating Person seeking to place such candidate’s name in nomination has complied with this Section 2.5, as applicable. The presiding officer at the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not properly made in accordance with this Section 2.5, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare such determination to the meeting, the defective nomination shall be disregarded and any ballots cast for the candidate in question (but in the case of any form of ballot listing other qualified nominees, only the ballots cast for the nominee in question) shall be void and of no force or effect.

(xii) Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no candidate for nomination shall be eligible to be seated as a director of the Corporation unless nominated and elected in accordance with this Section 2.5.

(xiii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these bylaws, for as long as any party to the Governance Agreement has a right to designate or nominate a director, the procedure for any such nomination shall be governed by the Governance Agreement and such party shall not be subject to the notice procedures set forth in these bylaws for the nomination of any person to serve as a director at any annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders.

2.6 Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings.

D-9

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with either Section 2.7 of these bylaws not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

2.7 Manner of Giving Notice; Affidavit of Notice.

Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be deemed given:

(i) if mailed, when deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the Corporation’s records;

(ii) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at the stockholder’s address; or (iii) if electronically transmitted as provided in the DGCL.

An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation or of the transfer agent or any other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by mail, courier service or by a form of electronic transmission, as applicable, shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

2.8 Quorum.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. If, however, a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting or (ii) a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.9 of these bylaws until a quorum is present or represented.

2.9 Adjourned Meeting; Notice.

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At any adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the

D-10

adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

2.10 Conduct of Business.

The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the person presiding over the meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairperson, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chairperson of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairperson of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the chairperson of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

2.11 Voting.

Each stockholder shall be entitled to a number of votes based on the number of and type of shares of capital stock held by such stockholder as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or as required under the DGCL.

Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, at all duly called or convened meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect a director. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, each other matter presented to the stockholders at a duly called or convened meeting at which a quorum is present shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) on such matter.

2.12 Record Date for Stockholder Meetings and Other Purposes.

D-11

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting; and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

2.13 Proxies.

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another Person or Persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law, including Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but, no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A proxy may be in the form of an electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder.

2.14 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote.

The Corporation shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less

D-12

than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal executive office. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.14 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

2.15 Inspectors of Election.

Before any meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more Persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If any Person appointed as inspector or any alternate fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint a Person to fill that vacancy. Such inspectors shall:

(i) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting and the validity of any proxies and ballots;

(ii) count all votes or ballots;

(iii) count and tabulate all votes;

(iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector(s); and

(v) certify its or their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and its or their count of all votes and ballots.

Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspection with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. The inspectors of election may appoint such Persons to assist them in performing their duties as they determine.

D-13

2.16 Delivery to the Corporation.

Whenever Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of this Article II require one or more persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock of the Corporation) to deliver a document or information to the Corporation or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation or other document or agreement), such document or information shall be in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and the Corporation shall not be required to accept delivery of any document not in such written form or so delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any notice from any stockholder of record or beneficial owner of the Corporation’s capital stock pursuant to Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of this Article II, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation expressly opts out of Section 116 of the DGCL.

When one or more directors so resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date or upon the happening of an event to occur on a future date, except as otherwise provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation or the Governance Agreement, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in this section in the filling of other vacancies.

Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and the Governance Agreement.

The Board may designate one (1) or more directors or members of the Board as alternate members of any committee of the Board, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board or in these bylaws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee or subcommittee shall have the power or authority to (i) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter (other than the election or removal of directors) expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Corporation.

J-2

Article I
BOARD NOMINATIONS; Governance

1.1 Director Designees.

(a) Until the later of (i) December 31, 2025 and (ii) the earlier of (x) the date on which Xx. XxXxxxx owns fewer than 7,188,031 shares of Common Stock (as equitably adjusted as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or the like) and (y) the date on which Xx. XxXxxxx no longer serves as the Executive Chair (the date contemplated by clauses (i) and (ii), the “Sunset Date”), New PubCo’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board shall include the WWE Designees designated in accordance with Section 1.1(b); provided, that the WWE Designees shall at all times include at least three (3) Independent Directors. For purpose of this Agreement, “Independent” shall have the meaning set forth in New PubCo’s by-laws. For purposes of this Section 1.1(a), Xx. XxXxxxx shall be deemed to own (1) any shares of Common Stock held by any trust that is for the benefit of Xx. XxXxxxx or the immediate family of Xx. XxXxxxx and over which Xx. XxXxxxx retains voting control, and (2) any shares of Common Stock owned by a partnership, limited liability company or other entity, the sole owners of which are Xx. XxXxxxx or the immediate family of Xx. XxXxxxx and in any case of which Xx. XxXxxxx is the legal and beneficial owner of a majority of the outstanding voting securities or the managing member.

(b) Until the earlier of the Executive Chair Sunset Date and the Sunset Date, (A) Xx. XxXxxxx shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate (i) the nominee for his seat (whether himself or his successor(s)), (ii) one (1) non-Independent director and (iii) one (1) Independent director (the “V.M Designated Independent Director”) and (B) the then-appointed WWE Designees (acting by majority) shall have the right to nominate the two other (2) WWE Designees, each of whom must be Independent. If, upon the occurrence of the death, resignation or Incapacitation of Xx. XxXxxxx (the “Executive Chair Sunset”), the Sunset Date has not occurred, then from the Executive Chair Sunset until the Sunset Date, the then-appointed WWE Designees (acting by majority), shall have the right to designate the successors to all five (5) of the WWE Designees (three (3) of whom must be Independent), subject to the terms of this Agreement. Any Director designated pursuant to this Section 1.1(b) shall be deemed to be a WWE Designee upon his or her election to the Board for all purposes. But, for the avoidance of doubt, any vacancy of the Executive Chair will be filled by the Board by affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors.

(c) Until the date on which Endeavor no longer owns, directly or indirectly (including through its controlled Affiliates), more than twenty percent (20)% (in the aggregate) of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of New PubCo, the slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board shall include the Endeavor Designees designated in accordance with Section 1.1(d); provided, that the Endeavor Designees shall at all times include at least three (3) Independent directors. However, in the event that a majority of the Board (or a majority of Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board) determines in good faith that an Endeavor Designee (i) is not qualified to serve on the Board consistent with such committee’s duly adopted policies and procedures applicable to all Directors or (ii) does not satisfy any applicable Law or other rule or regulation of the SEC or NYSE regarding service as a director, then such individual will not be included in the slate of nominees to be recommended by the Board for

J-3

election at the next New PubCo meeting of stockholders, and Endeavor shall be permitted to submit a replacement nominee to the slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board in accordance with this Section 1.1(c). In such case, New PubCo shall take all necessary action within its control so that each replacement nominee is nominated and elected to the Board in accordance with the provisions of New PubCo’s Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws.

(d) The Endeavor Subscribers (acting together by majority) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate all of the Endeavor Designees.

1.2 For so long as any person or persons have the right hereunder to designate a designee for inclusion in New PubCo’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board pursuant to Section 1.1 (each individual, group of individuals acting together, entity or entities acting together, as applicable, a “Nominating Person”), New PubCo shall take all necessary action within its control so that each of the Endeavor Designees and WWE Designees is nominated and elected to the Board.

1.3 The full Board (acting by majority) shall have the right to designate nominees for election at annual stockholders meetings for, or to fill vacancies in, all Director positions; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, for the time period set forth herein, the applicable Nominating Person shall have the designation rights set forth herein.

1.4 New PubCo will reimburse each director for their respective reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with travel to or from and attendance at each meeting of the Board.

1.5 Subject to the right to designate a replacement as set forth in Section 1.7, in the event that Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board determines in good faith that a Nominating Person’s designee that must be Independent does not satisfy the applicable independence criteria, then, despite anything else to the contrary set forth herein, New PubCo will not be required to include such individual in the slate of nominees to be recommended by the Board for election at a meeting of stockholders of New PubCo; provided, however, the Nominating Person of any such individual shall be permitted to submit a replacement nominee that would qualify as Independent to the slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board in accordance with Section 1.7.

1.6 Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, for so long as a Nominating Person has the right to nominate directors for election to the Board under this Agreement, New PubCo and the Board (or, if applicable, Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board) shall take such action as is required under applicable Law, the rules and regulations in effect at such time of the NYSE or such other market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted or under New PubCo’s by-laws or Certificate of Incorporation to include on the Board or in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board such individuals that are nominated pursuant to Section 1.1. New PubCo shall use its reasonable best efforts to have those individuals on the slate of nominees designated pursuant to Section 1.1 elected as a director of New PubCo and New PubCo shall solicit proxies for such persons.

J-4

1.7 For so long as any Nominating Person has the right to designate a WWE Designee or Endeavor Designee under this Agreement, in the event that (a) a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of an Endeavor Designee or a WWE Designee or (b) an individual is disqualified by the Board or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Agreement, then the applicable Nominating Person may designate another individual as its designee to either fill the applicable vacancy or be included on the slate of nominees to be recommended by the Board for election at its next meeting of stockholders, and New PubCo shall take all necessary action within its control so that each replacement nominee is nominated and elected to the Board in accordance with the provisions of New PubCo’s Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws.

1.8 In the event that a Nominating Person ceases to have the right to designate a director pursuant to Section 1.1, none of the directors will be required to resign (and the Nominating Persons will not be required to cause any directors to resign).

1.9 At any meeting convened before the occurrence of the Sunset Date at which Directors are to be elected, (i) the Endeavor Subscribers and each of their Permitted Transferees shall (and Endeavor shall cause the foregoing to) vote all of their shares of Common Stock in favor of the election of such WWE Designees nominated and included in the slate of nominees in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) the Endeavor Subscribers and each of their Permitted Transferees shall (and Endeavor shall cause the foregoing to) vote all of their shares of Common Stock against any action taken in respect of the removal of any such WWE Designees from the Board and (iii) in respect of any such vote for any amendment, alteration or waiver to the by-laws, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1(a) of the by-laws, the Endeavor Subscribers and each of their Permitted Transferees shall not (and Endeavor shall cause the foregoing not to) vote any of their shares of Common Stock in favor of any alteration, amendment or waiver of Article IX of New PubCo’s by-laws except in accordance with Section 9.1(a) thereof.

1.10 At any meeting of the stockholders of New PubCo convened before the occurrence of the Sunset Date at which Directors are to be elected, (i) Xx. XxXxxxx and each of his Permitted Transferees shall vote all of their shares of Common Stock in favor of the election of the Endeavor Designees nominated and included in the slate of nominees in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) Xx. XxXxxxx and each of his Permitted Transferees shall vote all of their shares of Common Stock against any action taken in respect of the removal of any such Endeavor Designees from the Board.

1.11 Until the Sunset Date, the Endeavor Subscribers and each of their Permitted Transferees shall provide five business days’ advance written notice to the Board before effecting any action by written consent pursuant to Section 8.1 of the New PubCo Certificate.

1.12 Until the Sunset Date, the size of the Board will be fixed at eleven (11) persons.

Article II
TRANSFERS; Standstill

2.1 Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) During the period beginning on (x) the date hereof and ending on (y) the two-year anniversary of the date hereof, except for any Permitted Transfer or a Transfer of shares of Class A Common Stock or Common Units at a price (calculated with respect to any such Common Units as though converted to Class A Common Stock) below the 30-Day VWAP of shares of Class A Common Stock (or such other principal security of New PubCo from time to time) as of the date immediately prior to the date of any announcement or execution of definitive documentation in respect thereof, the Endeavor Subscribers shall not, and Endeavor shall cause the Endeavor Subscribers and each Permitted Transferee of Endeavor or the Endeavor Subscribers not to, Transfer any (i) shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by them or (ii) Common Units beneficially owned or owned of record by them, in each case to any Person without the approval of a majority of the WWE Designees (in each case, in addition to any other approvals required under this Agreement, any other governance agreement or document applicable to New PubCo or HoldCo, or by applicable Law).

(b) Following the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Endeavor Subscribers and their Permitted Transferees shall be permitted to effect any Transfer of its or their shares of Common Stock or Common Units, except in a Restricted Transfer. Despite the foregoing, the Endeavor Subscribers and their Permitted Transferees may effect a Restricted Transfer following the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date if (but only if) Endeavor either (in each case, in addition to any other approvals required under this Agreement, any other governance agreement or document applicable to New PubCo or HoldCo, or by applicable Law):

(i) obtains the approval of a majority of the WWE Designees; or

(ii) the Acquiror in such proposed Transfer makes a pro rata offer on equivalent terms to all of the other equityholders of New PubCo and HoldCo, as applicable, (i.e., if an Acquirer in such a Transfer has agreed to purchase forty-percent (40%) of the shares of Class A Common Stock then-held by the Endeavor Subscribers and their Permitted Transferees and such Transfer constitutes a Restricted Transfer, then in order to avoid the application of the restriction set forth in this Section 2.1(b), such Acquirer would be required make an offer to the stockholders of New PubCo and unitholders of HoldCo (in each case, other than the Endeavor Subscribers and their Permitted Transferees) to purchase up to (at each such offerees’ election) forty-percent (40%) of the shares of Class A Common Stock and/or Common Units, respectively, that are not held by the Endeavor Subscribers and their Permitted Transferees on equivalent terms).

(c) For purposes of Section 2.1(b): (i) a “Restricted Transfer” means a Transfer (or a series of related Transfers) that (A) would be at a price above the 30-Day VWAP of shares of Class A Common Stock (or such other principal security of New PubCo from time to time) as of the date immediately prior to the date of any announcement and (B) would result in any third party or group (as defined in Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, but excluding for purposes of determining any such group, Endeavor and its Affiliates) (an, “Acquiror”) controlling, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the voting power and/or economic interests of

J-6

New PubCo and/or HoldCo (as applicable); and (ii) the “30-Day VWAP” means, as of an applicable date, the volume weighted average price per share of the applicable security on such security’s principal trading market (as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (or its successor) or, if not available, by another authoritative source determined by New PubCo) from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the trading day that is thirty (30) trading days preceding such date to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date.

2.2 Permitted Transfers and Transfer Requirements.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the immediately following sentence of this Section 2.2), each of the Endeavor Subscribers and their Permitted Transferees may (a) Transfer any shares of Class A Common Stock or Common Units owned by it to any Affiliate of the Endeavor Subscribers, and (b) may effect a Transfer in connection with any Redemption (as defined in the HoldCo LLC Agreement) pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section [●] of the HoldCo LLC Agreement (any such Transfer described in clause (a) or (b), a “Permitted Transfer”). It shall be a condition precedent to any Permitted Transfer (and with respect to any other Transfers otherwise permitted pursuant to this Article II, the following clause (ii) shall be a condition precedent and the transferor shall provide New PubCo with prior written notice (including the identity of the transferee) either prior to or promptly following such Transfer) that (i) the transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement as a Party hereto (i.e., as an Endeavor Subscriber) by signing and delivering to New PubCo a joinder substantially in a form acceptable to New PubCo; and (ii) the Transfer, alone or together with other Transfers, does not create a material risk that HoldCo will be treated as a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

2.3 Standstill. Without the approval of a majority of the Independent directors of the Board (in addition to any other approvals required under this Agreement, any other governance agreement or document applicable to New PubCo or HoldCo, or by applicable Law), Endeavor and its controlled Affiliates, acting alone or in concert with any other Person (including any other Affiliate of Endeavor), agree not to (a) acquire all of the outstanding equity interests in, or all or substantially all of the assets of, New PubCo or HoldCo, (b) increase their direct or indirect beneficial ownership (excluding for clarity beneficial ownership to the extent arising solely from this Agreement or that certain Stockholders Agreement, dated as of April 2, by and between Xx. XxXxxxx and Endeavor) or economic and/or voting interest in New PubCo or HoldCo above 75% of the then-current outstanding economic or voting interests of New PubCo or HoldCo by virtue of additional acquisitions or (c) effect a sale of New PubCo or HoldCo that would result in the receipt of a disproportionate “control premium” (or other disparate consideration) relative to other stockholders of New PubCo (except for amounts explicitly and directly in respect of services contemplated by the Services Agreement (as defined in the Transaction Agreement)).

2.4 For purposes of this Agreement, “Transfer” shall mean directly or indirectly, any sale, assignment, transfer, exchange, gift, bequest, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition or encumbrance of such share or any legal or beneficial interest in such share, in whole or in part, whether or not for value and whether voluntary or involuntary or by operation of Law; provided, however, that (a) the following shall not be considered a “Transfer”: (i) entering into a voting or support agreement (with or without granting a proxy) in connection with any merger, consolidation or other business combination of New PubCo or HoldCo that has been approved by the Board,

J-7

whether effectuated through one transaction or series of related transactions (including a tender offer followed by a merger in which holders of Class A Common Stock receive the same consideration per share paid in the tender offer); (ii) the pledge of shares of capital stock of New PubCo or HoldCo by a stockholder that creates a mere security interest in such shares pursuant to a bona fide loan or indebtedness transaction so long as such stockholder continues to exercise sole voting control over such pledged shares and such pledged shares are not transferred to or registered in the name of the pledgee; provided, however, that a foreclosure on such shares or other similar action by the pledgee shall constitute a “Transfer”; (iii) the fact that the spouse of any holder of Class A Common Stock possesses or obtains an interest in such holder’s shares of Class A Common Stock arising solely by reason of the application of the community property laws of any jurisdiction, so long as no other event or circumstance shall exist or have occurred that constitutes a “Transfer” of such shares of Class A Common Stock ; or (iv) any direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer, exchange, gift, bequest, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition or encumbrance of any equity interest or any legal or beneficial interest in any equity interest of Endeavor or any of its Subsidiaries (other than New PubCo, HoldCo or their respective Subsidiaries).

Article III
NON-COMPETE

3.1 Non-Compete. During the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the later of (i) the five year anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the six-month anniversary of Endeavor ceasing to hold or beneficially own, directly or indirectly (including through its controlled Affiliates), more than 20% (in the aggregate) of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares or capital stock of New PubCo, Endeavor shall not, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates (other than HoldCo and its Subsidiaries) not to:

(a) other than de minimis passive investments, acquire or invest in any other Competitive Wrestling League or professional mixed martial arts league that is competitive with UFC (acting alone or in concert with any other person (including any other Affiliates of Endeavor)); or

(b) [represent (i) any professional wrestling league that is competitive with WWE (a “Competitive Wrestling League”), (ii) any fighter or wrestling talent in respect of their contractual relationship with XxxxXx or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any former wrestling talent of WWE in respect of their contractual relationship with any Competitive Wrestling League.][Open]

4.2 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon and be of no further force and effect upon the earlier of (a) the mutual written agreement of the Parties and (b) 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on the day following the Sunset Date; provided, however, Article II, Article III and Article IV and the applicable definitions contained or referenced therein shall survive any such termination in accordance with their terms. Nothing set forth in this Section 4.2 shall relieve any Party from liability for any material breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement prior to the date of its termination that is a consequence of any act, or failure to act, undertaken by the breaching Party with the knowledge and the taking of such act, or failure to act, would result in such breach.

4.3 Interpretation and Rules of Construction. Section 9.14 of the Transaction Agreement shall apply to, and govern, this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

4.4 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties shall not object to the court making such determination having the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid, enforceable, and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power available to it in the prior sentence, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will most closely achieve the economic, business, and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

4.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Transaction Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), the New PubCo Certificate and New PubCo’s by-laws (each as they may be amended) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

4.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the Parties’ respective rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties. No

J-10

assignment by any Party shall relieve such Party of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

4.7 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except (a) for the rights of the Non-Recourse Parties set forth in Section 4.12 and (b) that WWE Designees shall be beneficiaries of, and permitted to enforce, their rights as and to the extent expressly set forth herein.

4.8 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each Party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other Party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in Law, equity or otherwise, including monetary damages) to (i) an any injunction, temporary restraining order, or other order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each Party further agrees that no other Party or any other person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 4.8, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the right of specific performance contemplated by this Section 4.8 is an integral part of the Agreement, and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement.

4.9 Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement shall be deemed to be made in and in all respects shall be interpreted, governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of law that would cause the application of law of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

(b) The Parties agree that any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be brought, heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom; provided, however, that, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Legal Proceeding, such Legal Proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”). Consistent with the preceding sentence, solely in connection with such Legal Proceedings, each of the Parties hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Chosen Courts for the purpose of such Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party; (ii) agrees that service of process in connection with any such Legal Proceeding will be validly effected by sending notice in accordance with Section 4.1; (iii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to attempt to deny, defeat or

J-11

assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Legal Proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such Chosen Courts, that any Legal Proceeding brought in an appropriate Chosen Court is an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the Legal Proceeding is improper; and (iv) agrees that it will not bring any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the Chosen Courts. A final judgement in any such Legal Proceeding commenced in accordance with this Section 4.9(b) shall be conclusive and maybe enforced in any other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any manner provided by applicable Law; provided that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any Party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal rom, such final judgement.

4.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 4.10.

4.11 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment or waiver, as applicable, hereto, signed by each of the Parties hereto. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived if, and only if, such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. The failure of any Party to exercise any of its rights under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

4.12 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, or arising out of, this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the persons that are expressly named as parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. No former, current or future officers, employees, directors, partners, equity holders, managers, members, attorneys, agents, advisors or other Representatives of any Party (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any Party under this Agreement or for any claim or proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of or by reason of the matters contemplated hereby or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any other agreement referenced herein or in connection with the matters contemplated hereby shall be sought or had against any Non-Recourse Party. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.12 shall not operate to limit or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of any Party hereto (in their capacity as such) with respect to

J-12

their agreements contained herein or in any other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Transaction, in each case, to the extent such Party is a party thereto (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein with respect to such Party).

4.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form) in counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

4.14 Expenses. Except as provided in this Agreement or the Transaction Agreement, all expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses.

4.15 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees, upon the reasonable request of the other Party, to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further documents and instruments and take, or cause to be taken, such further actions as are necessary or reasonably requested to assure and confirm its obligations under this Agreement.

4.16 No Agreement Until Executed. This Agreement shall not be effective unless and until this Agreement is executed by all Parties.
