If the Sellers’ Representative delivers an Objections Statement within such 30‑day period, then the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith for 15 days following the Buyer’s receipt of such Objections Statement to resolve such objections. Any such objections that the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve during such 15-day period is referred to as a “Dispute”. After such 15-day period, any matter set forth in the Closing Statement that is not a Dispute shall become final and binding upon all parties. If the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve all objections during such 15-day period, then any Disputes, and only such Disputes, shall be resolved by a mutually agreeable independent accounting firm of recognized national standing, which firm is not the regular auditing firm of the

Buyer, the Sellers or the Company (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to resolve any Disputes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within 30 days after its appointment. The resolution of such Disputes by the Accounting Firm (i) shall be set forth in writing; (ii) shall be within the range of maximum and minimum amounts in dispute between the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative; (iii) shall constitute an arbitral award; and (iv) shall be conclusive and binding upon all the parties upon which a judgment may be rendered by a court having proper jurisdiction thereover. Upon delivery of such resolution, the Closing Statement, as modified in accordance with such resolution, shall become final and binding upon all parties.

(c)Accounting Firm Expenses. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the Disputes not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if the Sellers’ Representative claims that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by the Buyer and if the Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the Dispute by awarding to the Sellers $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be allocated 30% (i.e., 300 ÷ 1,000) to the Buyer and 70% (i.e., 700 ÷ 1,000) to the Sellers’ Representative. Each of Buyer and Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Seller Parties) shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of its own accountants and all other expenses incurred in connection with matters contemplated by this Section 2.4(c).

(d)Final Adjustment Amount. As used herein, “Final Adjustment Amount” means (i) if the Sellers’ Representative fails to deliver an Objections Statement in accordance with Section 2.4(b), the Adjustment Amount as set forth in the Closing Statement or (ii) if the Adjustment Amount is resolved by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative or by submission of any Disputes to the Accounting Firm, as contemplated by Section 2.4(b), the Adjustment Amount as so resolved. If the Final Adjustment Amount is:

(i)greater than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, thus resulting in an Initial Purchase Price which is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price (any such excess, the “Sellers Adjustment Amount”), then promptly (but in any event within five Business Days following the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount): (A) the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint release notice directing the Escrow Agent to release to (x) NewCo (for further distribution to the other Sellers in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages) the product of the funds from the Adjustment Escrow Account multiplied by the Transaction Percentages of such Persons, (y) the Company (for further distribution to the holders of Options and Transaction Bonus Recipients who are current or former employees of the Company, through the Company’s normal payroll procedures, in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages) the product of the funds from the Adjustment Escrow Amount multiplied by the Transaction Percentages of such Persons, and (z) holders of Options and Transaction Bonus Recipients who are not current or former employees of the Company, in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages, in each case, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by

NewCo, Sellers’ Representative or the Company, as applicable, in writing; and (B) the Buyer shall deliver to (x) NewCo (for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages) the product of (1) the lesser of (a) the Sellers Adjustment Amount and (b) $1,000,000, multiplied by (2) the Transaction Percentages of such Sellers and (y) the Company (for further distribution to the holders of Options and Transaction Bonus Recipients who are current or former employees of the Company, through the Company’s normal payroll procedure, in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages), the product of (1) the lesser of (a) Sellers Adjustment Amount and (b) $1,000,000, multiplied by (2) the Transaction Percentages of such Person, and (z) holders of Options and Transaction Bonus Recipients who are not current or former employees of the Company, in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages, the product of (1) the lesser of (a) Sellers Adjustment Amount and (b) $1,000,000, multiplied by (2) the Transaction Percentages of such Persons, in each case, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by NewCo, the Sellers’ Representative or the Company, as applicable, in writing.

(ii)less than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, thus resulting in an Initial Purchase Price which is less than the Estimated Purchase Price (any such shortfall, the “Buyer Adjustment Amount”), then promptly (but in any event within five Business Days following the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount), the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint release notice directing the Escrow Agent to release to the Buyer an amount equal to the lesser of the amount in the Adjustment Escrow Account and the Buyer Adjustment Amount; provided that if the amount then held in the Adjustment Escrow Account exceeds the Buyer Adjustment Amount, such joint release notice shall also direct the Escrow Agent to release to (x) NewCo (for further distribution to the other Sellers in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages), the product of the amount of such excess multiplied by the Transaction Percentages of such Persons, (y) the Company (for further distribution to the holders of Options and Transaction Bonus Recipients who are current or former employees of the Company, through the Company’s normal payroll procedures, in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages) the product of the funds from the Adjustment Escrow Amount multiplied by the Transaction Percentages of such Persons, and (z) holders of Options and Transaction Bonus Recipients who are not current or former employees of the Company, in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages, the product of the funds from the Adjustment Escrow Amount multiplied by the Transaction Percentages of such Persons, in each case, to an account or accounts designated by NewCo, the Sellers’ Representative or the Company, as applicable, in writing. In no instance shall Buyer be entitled to receive any amounts in respect of a Buyer Adjustment Amount in excess of the Adjustment Escrow Amount pursuant to this Section 2.4(d)(ii). All such payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.4(d)(ii) shall be made promptly by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by NewCo, the Buyer, the Sellers’ Representative, or the Company, as applicable, in writing; or

(iii)equal to the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days following the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount) deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint release notice directing the Escrow Agent to release to (x) NewCo (for further distribution to the other Sellers, in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages) the product of the amount then held in the Adjustment Escrow Account multiplied by the Transaction Percentages of such Persons, (y) the Company (for further distribution to the holders of Options and Transaction Bonus Recipients who are current or former employees of the Company, through the Company’s normal payroll procedures, in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages) the product of the amount then held in the Adjustment Escrow Account multiplied by the Transaction Percentages of such Persons, and (z) holders of Options and Transaction Bonus Recipients who are not current or former employees of the Company, in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages, the product of the amount then held in the Adjustment Escrow Account multiplied by the Transaction Percentages of such Persons, in each case to an account or accounts designated by NewCo, the Sellers’ Representative, or the Company, as applicable.

All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be treated by all parties for tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

Section 2.5Escrow Account.

(a)At the Closing, the Buyer shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Escrow Agent (i) cash in the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Escrow Agent no fewer than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Escrow Account”), (ii) cash in the amount of the Indemnity Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Escrow Agent no fewer than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Indemnity Escrow Account”), (iii) cash in the amount of the Second Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Escrow Agent no fewer than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Second Escrow Account”) and (iv) cash in the amount of the First Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Escrow Agent no fewer than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “First Escrow Account” and, together with the Adjustment Escrow Account, the Indemnity Escrow Account and the Second Escrow Account, the “Escrow Accounts”). The Escrow Accounts shall be used exclusively in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(b)In the event of a conflict between the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

With respect to any Earn-Out Payments with respect to such Vested Option due to the former holder thereof in accordance with the terms of Section 2.7, such payments shall be forfeited by such Person if, prior to the end of the applicable Earn-Out Period, such Person’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is involuntarily terminated for Cause or such Person voluntarily resigns without Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Option Cancellation Agreement), and such forfeited payment amount shall be distributed pro rata amongst the other Seller Parties based upon their respective Transaction Percentages, with such Transaction Percentages calculated on a pro forma basis without taking into account the Transaction Percentage otherwise attributable to such payments.

Buyer may in its discretion make all such required payments of Unvested Options Cash no later than the 15th day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month in which such Unvested Options Cash would have become vested under the original vesting schedule. All amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.6(b) and this Section 2.6(c) shall be paid without interest; provided, that a portion of such cash so distributed will be treated as imputed interest to the extent required under the Code and the Treasury Regulations.

Section 2.7Earn-Out Payments.

(a)Proposed Earn-Out Statement. As consideration in addition to the Initial Purchase Price, following each Earn-Out Period, as promptly as practicable, but not later than 30 days after the receipt of the audited financial statements for the second fiscal year included in such Earn-Out Period, the Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a written statement (each, a “Proposed Earn-Out Statement”)

setting forth the Buyer’s determination of (i) the Average Revenue and (ii) the Average EBITDA for such Earn-Out Period, and based on such calculations, the Buyer’s proposed calculation of the Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Period. Following delivery of a Proposed Earn-Out Statement, the Buyer shall provide the Sellers’ Representative with supporting documentation for such Proposed Earn-Out Statement that the Sellers’ Representative may reasonably request, insofar as the requested information relates to the preparation of the Earn-Out Statement and provided that such access and cooperation shall be in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the Company’s normal business operations. The Average Revenue, Average EBITDA and Earn-Out Payment for each Earn-Out Period, as finally determined pursuant to a Final Earnout Statement in accordance with this Section 2.7, shall be deemed to be the final and binding calculations of the Average Revenue, Average Brand EBITDA and Earn-Out Payment, respectively, for such Earn-Out Period for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b)Earn-Out Dispute Resolution. Within 30 days after the Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of a Proposed Earn-Out Statement (the “Earn-Out Review Period”), the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to the Buyer a written statement either accepting such Proposed Earn-Out Statement or specifying any objections thereto in reasonable detail (an “Earn-Out Notice of Disagreement”), which objections shall be limited to (i) the failure of the calculations set forth on the applicable Proposed Earn-Out Statement to be prepared in a manner consistent with the applicable defined terms of Earn-Out Payment, Average Revenue or Average EBITDA, (ii) factual, accounting or mathematical inaccuracies or errors in the computation of any amount set forth on the applicable Proposed Earn-Out Statement and/or (iii) a breach of Section 2.7(f) or Section 2.7(g). If the Sellers’ Representative does not deliver an Earn-Out Notice of Disagreement within such 30‑day period, then the Proposed Earn-Out Statement shall become final and binding upon all parties. If the Sellers’ Representative delivers an Earn-Out Notice of Disagreement within such 30‑day period, then the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith for 15 days following the Buyer’s receipt of such Earn-Out Notice of Disagreement to resolve such objections. Any such objections that the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve during such 15-day period is referred to as a “Earn-Out Dispute”. During such period, the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative and their respective agents shall each have reasonable access to the other party’s working papers, trial balances and similar materials prepared in connection with the other party’s preparation of the applicable Proposed Earn-Out Statement and the applicable Earn-Out Notice of Disagreement, as the case may be, in addition to any other documentation reasonably requested, and Buyer shall make available during normal working hours upon reasonable prior notice a designee of Buyer knowledgeable about the information used in, and the preparation of, the Proposed Earn-Out Statement; provided, that such access will be subject to the execution of any applicable customary access letters required by accountants. After such 15-day period, any matter set forth in the Proposed Earn-Out Statement that is not an Earn-Out Dispute shall become final and binding upon all parties. If the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve all objections during such 15-day period, then any Earn-Out Disputes, and only such Earn-Out Disputes, shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to resolve any Earn-Out Disputes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within 30 days after its appointment. The resolution of such Earn-Out Disputes by the Accounting Firm (i) shall be set forth in writing; (ii) shall be within the minimum and maximum range of dispute

between the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative; (iii) shall constitute an arbitral award; and (iv) shall be conclusive and binding upon all the parties upon which a judgment may be rendered by a court having proper jurisdiction thereover. Upon delivery of such resolution, the Proposed Earn-Out Statement, as modified in accordance with such resolution, shall become final and binding upon all parties.

(c)Final Earn-Out Statement. A Proposed Earn-Out Statement shall become a “Final Earn-Out Statement” on the earlier of (i) the first day following the end of the applicable Earn-Out Review Period, if an Earn-Out Notice of Disagreement has not been delivered to the Buyer by the Sellers’ Representative, (ii) the date upon which the Sellers’ Representative acknowledges in writing that it has no objections to a Proposed Earn-Out Statement, (iii) the date of resolution of all matters set forth in the applicable Earn-Out Notice of Disagreement pursuant to Section 2.7(b) and (iv) the date upon which the Accounting Firm reaches a final, binding resolution of solely those matters specified in the applicable Earn-Out Notice of Disagreement pursuant to Section 2.7(b). The date on which a Proposed Earn-Out Statement shall become a Final Earn-Out Statement pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence is referred to as a “Final Earn-Out Determination Date”.

(d)Earn-Out Dispute Resolution Expenses. The Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Seller Parties) shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Earn-Out Dispute Resolution procedure. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Seller Parties) based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of the Sellers’ Representative’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by the Buyer and 40% of the costs would be borne by the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Seller Parties).

(e)Payment of Earn-Out Payment. No later than the tenth Business Day following the Final Earn-Out Determination Date for any Earn-Out Payment, subject to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.7(f), the Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, the amount of the Earn-Out Payment (if positive) for such Earn-Out Period (i) to NewCo (for further distribution to the other Sellers in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages), (ii) the Company for further distribution to the holders of Options and Transaction Bonus Recipients who are current or former employees of the Company, through the Company’s normal payroll procedures, in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages, and (iii) holders of Options and Transaction Bonus Recipients who are not current or former employees of the Company, in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages, in each case, to an account or accounts designated by NewCo, the Sellers’ Representative, or the Company, as applicable; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), such Earn-Out Payments shall, in each case, be net of any required Tax withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the aggregate amount of Earn-Out Payment actually paid or payable for all Earn-Out Periods shall not exceed the Maximum Earn-

Out Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Earn-Out Payment is negative, the Sellers, holders of Options and Transaction Bonus Recipients shall not owe any amounts to the Buyer. Any amount paid in respect of the Earn-Out Payment pursuant to this Section 2.7(e) shall be treated by the parties as (x) in the case of amounts paid to NewCo, an adjustment to the Initial Purchase Price for Tax purposes, except to the extent of any imputed interest required by the Code and Treasury Regulations and (y) with respect to amounts paid to holders of Options and Transaction Bonus Recipients, compensation, and the Buyer agrees to report such payments for Tax purposes in a manner consistent with foregoing, except to the extent required by a change in applicable Law occurring after the date hereof or pursuant to a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or any comparable provision of state or local Law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative acknowledge they may from time to time discuss settling the amount and payment of the Earn-Out Payment prior to any Final Earn-Out Determination Date, in the Buyer’s and the Sellers’ Representative’s sole and absolute discretion.

(f)Earn-Out Period Operations. The Buyer hereby covenants and agrees that, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on January 31, 2023, (i) the Buyer shall not take or cause to be taken any action with the intent to reduce the amount the Earn-Out Payment by reducing Average Revenue or Average EBITDA which is not otherwise a good faith action motivated by legitimate business objectives of Buyer other than reducing Average Revenue or Average EBITDA and (ii) Buyer shall operate the Business in a commercially reasonable manner.

(g)Change of Control. In the event that after the Closing and prior to the end of the applicable Earn-Out Period there is a Change of Control of Buyer, and Buyer is not the successor entity, then Buyer shall cause the acquirer in such Change of Control to assume in full all remaining Earn-Out obligations and covenants of Buyer during such remaining Earn-Out Period, pursuant to this Section 2.7. For purposes hereof, a “Change of Control” means the occurrence, in a single transaction or as the result of a series of related transactions, of one or more of the following events: (i) a merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar business combination transaction involving the Buyer in which the holders of all of the outstanding equity interests of the Buyer immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction do not directly or indirectly (including through Affiliates) own beneficially or of record immediately upon the consummation of such transaction outstanding equity interests that represent a majority of the combined outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity in such transaction or of a parent of the surviving entity in such transaction; (ii) a transaction in which a majority of the Buyer’s voting securities are transferred to any Person, or any two or more Persons acting as a group, and all Affiliates of such Person or Persons (each, a “Group”), that were not directly or indirectly (including through Affiliates), beneficially or of record, equity holders of Buyer prior to the consummation of such transaction; or (iii) the consummation of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Buyer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Group, other than such a sale to a Group in which the equity holders of the Buyer, directly or indirectly (including through Affiliates), beneficially or of record, own a majority of the combined voting securities.

Section 2.8Withholding. Each of the Buyer and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable hereunder to any Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold under any provision of any Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.9Purchase Price Allocation.

(a)The Buyer shall present a draft of the Allocation (the “Proposed Allocation”) in accordance with the methodology set forth in Schedule 2.9 to the Sellers’ Representative for review within thirty (30) Business Days of the final determination of the Purchase Price under Section 2.4. Unless Sellers’ Representative notifies the Buyer of an objection as provided in this Section 2.9, at the close of business on the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day after delivery of the Proposed Allocation, the Proposed Allocation shall become the Allocation. The Sellers’ Representative shall notify Buyer of any objection to the Proposed Allocation within fifteen (15) Business Days of the delivery of the Proposed Allocation. The Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any differences for a period of ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such notice by the Sellers’ Representative. If the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative reach agreement amending the Proposed Allocation, the Proposed Allocation, as amended by such agreement, shall become binding upon the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative and shall be the Allocation. If the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative cannot mutually agree on the appropriate allocation within the ten (10) day time limit set forth in this Section 2.9, then the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall submit the Proposed Allocation to the Accounting Firm, solely for the purposes of resolving such dispute. The costs of the services of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand. The Buyer, the Sellers and their respective Affiliates shall prepare and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Allocation as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9 and shall not make any inconsistent statement or adjustment on any Tax Return unless required by applicable Law, or otherwise take any Tax position inconsistent with the Allocation (including in audits), absent a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code to the contrary.

(b)In the event that there is any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement, the Allocation shall be adjusted as appropriate to reflect any such adjustment and such allocation, as revised, shall be the Allocation.

(i)undertake, carry on or have a financial or other interest in, advise, assist any other Person in connection with the operation of, participate or engage in the design, development, production, promotion, marketing, sale, or servicing of, any Competing Business anywhere in the world where the Company or any of its Affiliates is currently engaged or preparing to engage in the Competing Business as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that a Founder may be employed by or perform services for a division, entity, or subgroup of any company or entity that engages in a Competing Business so long as neither such Founder nor such division, entity, or subgroup engages directly in the Competing Business;

(ii)solicit, entice, encourage or intentionally influence, or attempt to solicit, entice, encourage or influence, any employee of the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to resign or leave the employ of the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or otherwise hire, employ, engage or contract any such employee to perform services other than for the benefit of the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates; provided, however, the restrictions herein shall not apply to any employee who (1) is responding to a general employment solicitation such as a newspaper or job fairs or (2) was terminated for a period of at least six (6) months prior to the commencement of employment discussions with such Founder; or

(iii)solicit, entice, encourage or influence, or attempt to solicit, entice, encourage or influence, any customer of the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (including any Person who has been a customer of the Company at any time during the period of 12 months before the Closing) to negatively alter, reduce or terminate its business relationship with the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates.

(b)Notwithstanding Section 7.6(a), none of the following activities shall constitute a violation of Section 7.6(a): (i) the advertisement of job openings by use of newspapers, magazines, the internet and other media not directed at individual prospective employees, consultants or independent contractors; or (ii) a Founder holding either (x) less than 5% of the outstanding securities of any class of any publicly-traded securities of a company that is engaged in a Competing Business or (y) less than 5% of the outstanding securities of any class of securities of a private company that is engaged in a Competing Business. Furthermore, and for the avoidance of doubt, it shall not constitute a violation of Section 7.6(a) for the Founders to engage in, or provide services to, the businesses and activities set forth on Schedule 7.6(b).

(c)In order for the Buyer to have and enjoy the full benefit of the business of the Company, and as a material inducement to the Buyer to enter into this Agreement (without such inducement the Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement), from and after the Closing Date, each Founder shall not (whether by himself, through an Affiliate, or as an employee, officer, director, manager, member, owner, consultant or agent of, any other Person), disparage or encourage or induce others to disparage the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective employees, directors,

affiliate entities, divisions, equity-holders, owners, managers, successors, or assigns (collectively the “Company Protected Group”). From and after the Closing Date, both the Buyer and Company shall not (whether by themselves or through an Affiliate), disparage any Founder (collectively the “Founder Protected Group”), and the Buyer and the Company shall not encourage, induce, or permit any of their respective employees, officers, directors, managers, members, owners, consultant, or agents to disparage any member of the Founder Protected Group. For purposes hereof, the term disparage includes direct or indirect comments or statements to the press or to any other Person that are intended to adversely affect in any manner the business, reputation, or goodwill, as applicable, of any member of the Company Protected Group or the Founder Protected Group; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent a Person from making any truthful statement or comment in good faith that is required by any Law or Order.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein (including Section 14.8), in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of Section 7.5, 7.6(a) or 7.6(c) (the “Restrictive Covenants”):

(i)the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company) shall have the right and remedy, without regard to any other available remedy, to (A) have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction and (B) have issued an injunction restraining any such breach without posting of a bond; it being understood that any breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable and material Losses to the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company), the amount of which cannot be readily determined and as to which neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company) will have any adequate remedy at law or in damages;

(ii)it is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the Restrictive Covenants be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws, Orders and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought and if any Restrictive Covenant shall be adjudicated finally to be invalid or unenforceable, such Restrictive Covenant shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary in order that such provision be valid and enforceable, the remainder of such Restrictive Covenant shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect without regard to invalid portions and such amendment shall apply only with respect to the operation of the Restrictive Covenant in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made; and

(iii)the parties acknowledge and agree that the Restrictive Covenants are necessary for the protection and preservation of the value and the goodwill of the Buyer’s and the Company’ businesses and are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects.

Section 7.7Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions shall be a release mutually agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer. Thereafter, no party hereto will issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer; provided, however, that nothing herein will prohibit any party from issuing or causing publication of any such press release or public announcement to the extent that such disclosure is required by Law or Order or any rule of any national securities exchange, upon advice of counsel, in which case the party making such determination will, if practicable under the circumstances, use reasonable efforts to allow the other parties reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of its issuance or publication.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Sellers, the Company and the Buyer shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not require any Seller, the Company or the Buyer to make any payment or concession to, or commence or threaten to commence any Action against, any Person in connection with obtaining such Person’s consent) to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate with each other in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to obtain the authorizations, consents, Orders and approvals necessary for their execution and delivery of, and the performance of their obligations pursuant to each Transaction Document and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions as soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, including (i) promptly making any required submissions and filings under applicable Competition Laws with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, (ii) promptly furnishing information required in connection with such submissions and filing under such Competition Laws, (iii) keeping the other parties reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such submissions and filings under Competition Laws, including with respect to: (A) the receipt of any non-action, action, clearance, consent, approval or waiver, (B) the expiration of any waiting period, (C) the commencement or proposed or threatened commencement of any investigation, litigation or administrative or judicial action or proceeding under Competition Laws and (D) the nature and status of any objections raised or proposed or threatened to be raised under Competition Laws with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, (iv) filing all notices or other documentation and obtaining all actions or non-actions, approvals, consents, waivers, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or third party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Contemplated Transaction as soon as practicable (whether or not such approvals, consents, waivers, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations are conditions to the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions pursuant to Article IX and Article X), and (v) supplying the other parties with any information that may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the taking of such actions.

(b)In furtherance of and without limiting Section 7.8(a), the Sellers, the Company and the Buyer shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to, if required by applicable Law, within five (5) Business Days following the date hereof, file or supply, or cause to be filed or supplied in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, all notifications and information required to be filed or supplied pursuant to the HSR Act, and the Buyer shall pay all filing fees, application fees or other fees of the applicable Governmental Authority associated with the HSR Act filing.

Each party hereto will advise the other parties promptly in respect of any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) which such party proposes to make or enter into with the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authority in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.

(d)Buyer shall not enter into any transaction or any agreement to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition) that would reasonably be expected to make it materially more difficult to (i) obtain the expiration and termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the Contemplated Transactions, or (ii) obtain all permits of Governmental Authorities necessary for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of Buyer or any of its Affiliates shall be required to (i) commence or threaten to commence litigation, (ii) agree to hold separate, divest, license or cause a third party to purchase, any of the assets or businesses of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (including, for clarity, any Subsidiary after the Closing) or (iii) otherwise agree to any restrictions on the businesses of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (including, for clarity, any Subsidiary after the Closing) in connection with avoiding or eliminating any restrictions to the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions under any applicable Law.

Section 7.10Exclusivity. Until the earlier of the Closing and such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article XI, except for the Contemplated Transactions, the Company and each of the Sellers shall not, and each shall cause its and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers and other representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage the initiation of any Acquisition Proposal or (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations or enter into any Contract with any third party regarding, or furnish to any third party any information in connection with, any Acquisition Proposal. The Sellers and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, managers, employees, investment bankers and other representatives to, promptly following the date hereof, terminate any and all negotiations or discussions with any third party regarding any proposal concerning any Acquisition Proposal and shall request any such third party to return or destroy any confidential information of the Company in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of any confidentiality agreement between the Company and such third party.

Section 7.11Further Assurances. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article XI, each of the parties hereto shall execute such documents and perform such further acts as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and of each other Transaction Document and the Contemplated Transactions. Each party shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, use its commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill or obtain the fulfillment of the conditions precedent to the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions including the execution and delivery of any documents, certificates, instruments or other papers that are reasonably required for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 7.12Transfer of Interests. Except for the Contemplated Transactions from the date hereof until the Closing, each Seller agrees that it shall not transfer beneficial or record ownership of the Interests to any Person without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

Section 7.13Termination of Affiliate Transactions. On or before the Closing Date, except for liabilities relating to employment relationships and the payment of compensation and benefits set forth on Schedule 5.19(a), all Liabilities between the Company, on the one hand, and any of the Sellers, any Affiliate of any Seller, any current or former officer, director, holder of Capital Stock or Affiliate of the Company and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (but not including the Company), on the other hand, including any and all Contracts (other than any Transaction Document) between the Company, on the one hand, and one or more of its Affiliates (including any Seller but not including the Company), on the other hand, that (i) have been entered into between the date hereof and the Closing Date or (ii) were entered into prior to the date hereof but not made available to the Buyer, shall be terminated in full, without any Liability to the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates following the Closing.

Section 7.14Resignations. Company shall cause to be delivered to the Buyer on the Closing Date the resignations of those managers, directors and officers of the Company of whom the Buyer shall have notified the Seller at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

Section 7.15Release. Effective upon the Closing, each Seller and Founder, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and each of their respective advisors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Founder Releasing Parties”), unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and forever discharges Buyer, the Company and each of their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Buyer Released Parties”), of and from any and all claims that the Founder Releasing Parties, or any of them, now have, ever had, or at the Closing may have, or hereafter can, shall or may have, against the Buyer Released Parties, or any of them, for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, from the beginning of time through the Closing Date, arising out of or relating to the organization, management or operation of the businesses of the Company (the “Released Claims”); provided, however, that the Founder Releasing Parties are not releasing, and the foregoing release shall not cover (and the definition of Claims shall not include): (x) any rights or protections of any Founder Releasing Party to indemnification, advancement of expenses, limitation of liability, exculpation or insurance in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company in accordance with Section 7.16 of this Agreement, or (y) any Claim under or relating to (1) this Agreement or any Transaction Document, and (2) any rights to which such Founder Releasing Party is entitled by virtue of his or her status as an employee or consultant of the Company, including but not limited to compensation that remains unpaid or employee benefits that remain unpaid. Each Seller and Founder, on behalf of each of its Founder Releasing Parties, hereby agrees that if any Founder Releasing Party hereafter commences, joins in, or in any manner seeks relief through any suit arising out of, based upon, or relating to any claim released hereunder, or in any manner asserts against any Buyer Released Party any claim released hereunder, then such Founder Releasing Parties will pay to such Buyer Released Party, in addition to all other direct or indirect Losses suffered by such Buyer Released Party as a result of such suit or claim, all attorneys’ fees incurred in defending or otherwise responding to such suit or claim. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Founder Releasing Parties hereby waive the

application of any provision of Law, including California Civil Code Section 1542, that purports to limit the scope of a general release. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

Section 7.16Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a)Indemnification. From the Closing and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, Buyer agrees not to amend or terminate, as applicable, the Organizational Documents of the Company, or indemnification agreements of the Company, in each case in effect as of the date hereof and disclosed on Schedule 7.16 of the Disclosure Schedules, in any way to reduce or eliminate the rights to indemnification, exculpation or advancement provided by the Company to the present and former officers and directors of the Company (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, a “D&O Indemnified Person” and collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) (subject to any applicable exceptions or limitations to indemnification or advancement of expenses provided for in the Company’s Organizational Documents or such indemnification agreements as of immediately prior to the Closing, or as otherwise provided by applicable Laws); provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event any claim or claims are asserted or made within such six (6) year period, all such rights to indemnification in respect of any claim or claims shall continue until final disposition of such claim or claims.

(b)D&O Insurance. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall obtain run-off “tail” coverage for the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies and fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), in each case covering Persons who are currently covered by such insurance policies on terms no less favorable than those in effect on the date hereof for a period of at least six (6) years after the Closing; provided, that, (i) Buyer and the Company shall each pay 50% of all tail policy costs and (ii) the Company shall not pay an amount in excess of 200% of the current annual premium for such coverage.

(c)Successors. In the event that, after the Closing , the Company, Buyer or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or a substantial portion of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company or Buyer, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.16.

(d)Benefit. The provisions of this Section 7.16 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Person, his or her heirs, executors or administrators and his or her other representatives and cannot be amended in a manner adverse to a D&O Indemnified Person without such Person’s consent. The Parties agree that each D&O Indemnified Person (including his or her heirs, executors or administrators and his or her other representatives) is intended to be, and shall be, a third party beneficiary of this Agreement for the purpose of this Section 7.16.

(a)From the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, the Company shall (and the Sellers shall cause the Company to):

(i)not make, change or revoke any election with regard to Taxes or file any amended Tax Returns or file any claims for Tax refunds; provided, however, that the Reorganization will be consummated as contemplated in the Recitals;

(ii)not make any change in any Tax accounting methods except as may be appropriate to conform to changes in Tax Laws;

(iii)not change any annual tax accounting period;

(iv)not enter into any closing agreement or Tax Sharing Agreement, settle any Tax claim, audit or assessment or surrender any right to claim a Tax refund, offset or other reduction in Tax Liability;

(vi)not fail to take any action if such failure will cause a termination or revocation of the S-Corporation Election.

(b)At least one day before the Closing, the Sellers, NewCo and the Company shall consummate the Reorganization, in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer.

Section 8.2Tax Audits and Contests; Cooperation.

(a)After the Closing, except as provided in Section 8.2(c) and Section 8.2(d), the Buyer shall control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing, of any audit, claim for refund or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax Liability or refund with respect to the Company (any such audit, claim for refund or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax Liability referred to herein as a “Contest”).

(b)After the Closing, each party to this Agreement shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any demand, claim or notice of the commencement of any Contest received by such party from any Governmental Authority or any other Person with respect to Taxes; provided, however, that a failure to give such notice will not affect such other party’s rights to indemnification under Article XII except to the extent that such party is prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing the asserted Loss and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any Governmental Authority or any other Person in respect of any such asserted Loss.

(c)In the case of a Contest for a Pre-Closing Tax Period for which the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account (excluding any amounts which are then subject to an unresolved Claims Notice) is reasonably expected to be sufficient to pay the entire amount of the Loss required to be indemnified (including any interest, penalties and other costs expected), the Sellers’ Representative (at the expense of the Sellers) shall control the conduct of such Contest, but the Buyer shall have the right to participate in such Contest at its own expense, and the Sellers’ Representative shall not settle, compromise or concede any portion of such Contest without the consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, that if the Sellers’ Representative fails to assume control of the conduct of any such Contest within a reasonable period following the receipt by the Sellers’ Representative of notice of such Contest, the Buyer shall have the right to assume control of such Contest and shall be permitted to settle, compromise or concede such Contest in its sole discretion.

(d)In the case of (i) a Contest for a Pre-Closing Tax Period for which the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account (excluding any other amounts which are then subject to an unresolved Claims Notice) is not reasonably expected to be sufficient to pay the entire amount of the Loss required to be indemnified (including any interest, penalties and other costs expected) or (ii) a Contest after the Closing Date for a Straddle Period, the Buyer shall control the conduct of such Contest, but so long as the Sellers have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement for any liability arising from such Contest and there are funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account, the Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to participate in such Contest, at the expense of the Seller Parties, and the Buyer shall not settle, compromise or concede such Contest without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(e)The Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance relating to the Company as is reasonably requested for the filing of any Tax Returns and the preparation, prosecution, defense or conduct of any Contest. The Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Contest or other proceeding involving or otherwise relating to the Company (or its income or assets) with respect to any Tax and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 8.2(e). Any information obtained under this Section 8.2(e) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in the conduct of a Contest or other Tax Action.

(f)The provisions of this Section 8.2 shall govern any Contest and not Section 12.7 or Section 12.8.

Section 8.3Preparation of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes.

(a)Buyer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), and timely file, all Tax Returns of the Company required to be filed with any Governmental Authority after the Closing Date and shall pay (or cause to be paid) any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. With respect to any Tax Returns filed by Buyer after the Closing Date with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Seller Parties shall be responsible for Taxes of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods due in respect of such Tax Returns, except for Taxes taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital, out of and solely up to the then remaining balance then on deposit in the Indemnity Escrow Account. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Buyer shall notify the Sellers’ Representative of any amounts due from the Sellers in respect of any such Tax Return no later than ten Business Days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is due, and the Sellers’ Representative shall cause such payment to be paid to the Buyer from the Indemnity Escrow Account no later than five Business Days prior to the date such Tax Return is due.

(b)

(i)In the case of Tax Returns that are filed with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Buyer shall prepare such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by Law, and shall deliver any such Tax Return to the Sellers’ Representative for his review and comment at least 30 days prior to the date such Tax Return is required to be filed (or, if such due date is within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date) and shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments timely received from the Sellers’ Representative. If the Sellers’ Representative disputes any item on such Tax Return, the Sellers’ Representative shall notify the Buyer of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection within 10 days of receipt of such Tax Return. If the Sellers’ Representative does not raise any objections within the 10-day period, then such Tax Return shall become final. If the Sellers’ Representative raises an objection within the 10-day period, the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith for 10 days following the Buyer’s receipt of such notice to resolve

such objections. If the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve all objections during such 10-day period, then any remaining disputes, and only such remaining disputes, shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to resolve any such remaining disputes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within 30 days after its appointment. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated equally between the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Seller Parties), on the other hand. If the objections are not resolved prior to the time such Tax Return is required to be filed, such Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by the Buyer, with any revisions agreed to by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer’s obligations under this Section 8.3(b)(i) shall no longer apply once the balance then on deposit in the Indemnity Escrow Account is equal to zero.

(ii)Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i), for the avoidance of doubt, after the Closing Date, the Buyer (and any of its Affiliates) shall be permitted to (A) voluntarily approach a state or local taxing authority with respect to Taxes and (B) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return, in each case, of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative; provided, that, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a recovery under Section 12.4 with respect to actions taken in connection with this Section 8.3(b)(ii).

(c)In the case of Tax Returns that are filed with respect to Straddle Periods, the Buyer shall prepare such Tax Return in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by Law.

(d)For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.3 shall provide the Buyer with the right to prepare, file or review any Tax Return of NewCo for any taxable period.

Section 8.4Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes of the Company that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes for periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date shall (a) in the case of Taxes that are either (i) based upon or related to income or receipts or (ii) imposed in connection with any sale, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date and (b) in the case of Taxes (other than those described in Section 8.4(a)) that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the business or assets of the Company or otherwise measured by the level of any item, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding Tax period), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. For purposes of clause (a) of the preceding section, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item (including the effect of any graduated rates of Tax) that is calculated on an annual

basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated to the Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under this Section 8.4 shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with past practice of the Company. The parties hereto will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect with the relevant United States Governmental Authority to treat a portion of any Straddle Period as a short taxable period ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

Section 8.5Conveyance Taxes. The Buyer and Sellers shall each pay 50% of all sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary, excise, real property transfer or gains or similar Taxes incurred as a result of the Contemplated Transactions and the Buyer shall file all required change of ownership and similar statements.

Section 8.6FIRPTA Certificate. NewCo shall deliver to the Buyer at the Closing a certificate or certificates, in compliance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2, certifying that the Contemplated Transactions are exempt from withholding under Section 1445 of the Code.

Section 8.7Tax Treatment of Reorganization. The parties acknowledge that for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, and applicable state and local tax purposes the following consequences are intended: (i) the Reorganization shall constitute a “reorganization” of the Company into NewCo within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, (ii) this Agreement shall constitute the “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g), (iii) pursuant to Revenue Ruling 2008-18, Situation 1, the Company’s original S corporation election shall not terminate but shall continue for NewCo and (iv) the acquisition of the Interests by the Buyer from NewCo shall be treated as a taxable sale or exchange of assets of the Company under Section 1001 of the Code. The parties (x) shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the foregoing treatment and (y) shall not take any position inconsistent with the foregoing treatment in any Tax Return, in each case, except as required by applicable Law. Each of NewCo and the Company shall include the statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(a) on or with its U.S. federal income Tax Return for the taxable year of the Reorganization. Each of the Company Shareholders shall include the statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(b), with respect to the Reorganization on or with his U.S. federal income Tax Return for the taxable year of the Reorganization, as applicable.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations, if any, on Buyer’s right to recover under the R&W Insurance Policy shall be solely as set forth therein and nothing in this Agreement shall impact Buyer’s right to recover under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(e)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Buyer Indemnitee may make an indemnification claim for recovery for Losses under Section 12.4(a) (unless such indemnification claim arises from a breach of the Fundamental Representations or a representation or warranty set forth in

(b)If a Buyer Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article XII (excluding Section 12.14 and Section 12.15) in respect of a Third Party Claim, the Buyer Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Sellers’ Representative and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent, in writing of such claim, describing such claim in reasonable detail and the amount or estimated amount of Losses (the “Claims Notice”); provided that failure to give such notification on a timely basis will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that such failure to give such notification results in material prejudice to the Indemnitor with respect to such claim.

(c)If a Seller Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article XII (excluding Section 12.14 and Section 12.15) in respect of a Third Party Claim, the Sellers’ Representative shall promptly deliver a Claims Notice to the Buyer and, if applicable the Escrow Agent; provided that failure to give such notification on a timely basis will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that such failure to give such notification results in material prejudice to the Indemnitor with respect to such claim.

(d)The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Indemnitor received the Claims Notice to notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor desires to control the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that the Indemnitor will not be entitled to assume or continue the defense thereof if (i) the Third Party Claim (A) seeks, in addition to or lieu of monetary damages, any injunctive or other equitable relief, (B) presents, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, or (C) relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Action, indictment, allegation or investigation (such Third Party Claim in the case of the foregoing clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “Excluded Third Party Claim”); (ii) in the case of NewCo, the balance then on deposit in the Indemnity Escrow Account is (A)

equal to zero or (B) otherwise insufficient to cover such Third Party Claim, in which case control of the defense or prosecution shall transfer to the Buyer; or (iii) the insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy desires to control and assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, in which case such insurer shall be permitted to do so by providing written notice to Buyer, and if such insurer delivers such written notice to Buyer, neither the Indemnitee or Indemnitor shall be permitted to control and assume the defense of such Third Party Claim as long as the defense of such Third Party Claim is diligently conducted by or on behalf of such insurer; provided, further, that in no event shall such control of the defense be deemed to be an admission or assumption of liability on the part of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of such claim in accordance herewith: (x) the Indemnitee may retain separate co‑counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim, but the Indemnitor shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof; (y) the Indemnitee shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and (z) the Indemnitor shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee unless the judgment or settlement provides solely for the payment of money by the Indemnitor (or, in the case of NewCo, the Escrow Agent from the Indemnity Escrow Account) and the Indemnitor makes such payment (subject to the applicable limitations contained herein) and the Indemnitee receives an unconditional release with respect to such Third Party Claim. The parties shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with Third Party Claims, and cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto. Whether or not the Indemnitor has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e)If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Claims Notice, the Indemnitee will be entitled to assume such defense, at its sole cost and expense (or, if the Indemnitee incurs a Loss with respect to the matter in question for which the Indemnitee is otherwise finally determined to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XII, at the expense of the Indemnitor), upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitor (i) shall have the right to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense; (ii) may at any time thereafter assume defense of the Third Party Claim (provided that it is not an Excluded Third Party Claim), in which event the Indemnitor shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel incurred prior to the assumption by the Indemnitor of defense of the Third Party Claim; and (iii) shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent.

(f)From and after the Closing Date, the Buyer Indemnitee shall, and shall cause the Company to, provide, at the Seller Representative’s sole cost and expense, reasonable cooperation to the Seller Representative in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pretrial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge of any claim in respect of which a Buyer Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article XII that the Seller Representative has elected to control, including, but not limited to, by providing the Seller Representative with reasonable access to books, records, employees and officers (including as witnesses) of the Company. Without limiting the other rights of any Seller Party hereunder, to the extent such participation is expressly required by the R&W Insurance Policy, the R&W Insurer shall be entitled to participate in (but not control), at its sole cost and expense, any Third Party Claim covered by the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 12.8Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. The Indemnitee will deliver a Claims Notice to the Indemnitor promptly upon its discovery of any matter for which the Indemnitor may be liable to the Indemnitee hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim; provided that failure to promptly give such notification will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that such failure to give such notification results in material prejudice to the Indemnitor with respect to such claim. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnitor in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnitee and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters (if the Indemnitee incurs a Loss with respect to the matter in question for which the Indemnitee is otherwise finally determined to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XII, all at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense).

Section 12.9Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except in connection with a dispute under Section 2.4 (which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.4), the enforcement of any covenant requiring performance following the Closing or claims for equitable relief or against a Seller (or a Founder on behalf of a Seller) for Fraud, and subject to the rights of the Buyer under the R&W Insurance Policy, the indemnification provisions of this Article XII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of parties following the Closing for any and all breaches or alleged breaches of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties, or any other provision of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than with respect to the Fundamental Representations). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except with respect to Section 12.14 and Section 12.15 (which shall be governed by Schedule 12.14 and Schedule 12.15, respectively) the Buyer and the Buyer Indemnitees shall have recourse for indemnification under this Article XII (excluding Section 12.3 and Section 12.5 and the Fundamental Representations) solely to, and to the extent of, the amount then available in the Indemnity Escrow Account in accordance with Section 12.13 and in no event shall the amount of Losses paid by NewCo and the Seller Parties under this Article XII (excluding Section 12.3 and Section

12.5 and the Fundamental Representations) exceed the Indemnity Escrow Amount. The maximum liability of any Seller Party for indemnification under Section 12.4 with respect to a breach of the Fundamental Representations or a Seller under Section 12.3 shall be limited to the proceeds actually received by such Person as of the applicable date of determination in respect of the Initial Purchase Price, disbursements pursuant to Section 2.4(d), disbursements from the Escrow Accounts and disbursements made as Earn-Out Payments, except, in the case of Fraud, for which there shall be no cap on the indemnity obligations of the Person who committed such Fraud with respect any Losses arising out of such Fraud. In furtherance of the foregoing, except with respect to Section 12.14 and Section 12.15 (which shall be governed by Schedule 12.14 and Schedule 12.15, respectively), the Buyer’s and the Buyer Indemnitees’ recourse for indemnification for Losses pursuant to this Article XII shall be paid and satisfied in the following manner, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XII: (i) first, from the Indemnity Escrow Amount in the Indemnity Escrow Account until the Indemnity Escrow Amount in the Indemnity Escrow Account is exhausted, (ii) second, if and to the extent that all or any part of such claim is recoverable pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy, under and in accordance with the terms of the R&W Insurance Policy until the policy limit is reached and (iii) third, from NewCo or the other applicable Seller Parties to the extent permitted and in accordance with the terms of this Article XII.

Section 12.10Calculation of Losses; Mitigation. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article XII shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by any Indemnitee from third parties under insurance policies (other than the R&W Insurance Policy, and net of any related increase in premium or costs of collection) or otherwise with respect to such Loss. If the Indemnitee subsequently recovers any such amounts, the Indemnitee shall promptly pay such amounts over to the Indemnitor. In the event of any breach giving rise to an indemnification obligation under this Article XII or the right to make a claim against the then-available portion of the Indemnity Escrow Account, the Indemnitee shall take, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to take, all commercially reasonable measures to mitigate the consequences of the related breach (including taking commercially reasonable steps to prevent any contingent Loss from becoming an actual Loss).

Section 12.11Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. It is the intention of the parties hereto to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly, except as otherwise required by a change in applicable Tax Laws or a final determination

Section 12.12Subrogation. The parties acknowledge and agree that NewCo, the Seller Parties, the Sellers’ Representative and their Affiliates shall not be liable to the R&W Insurer under subrogation claims pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy, and the Buyer covenants and agrees that the R&W Insurance Policy will include a waiver of such subrogation claims for the benefit of NewCo, the Seller Parties, the Sellers’ Representative and their Affiliates; provided, that the R&W Insurer shall be entitled to subrogate against NewCo, the Seller Parties, the Sellers’ Representative and any of their respective Affiliates with respect to Fraud. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnitor to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article XII, such Indemnitor shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or

circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such claim or demand against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such claim or demand. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnitor in a reasonable manner, and at the cost of such Indemnitor, in presenting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

Section 12.13Indemnity Escrow.

(a)If any Buyer Indemnitee shall have, prior to the Release Date, delivered a Claims Notice to the Sellers’ Representative in respect of indemnification under this Agreement, such Buyer Indemnitee and the Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement upon (i) the Buyer Indemnitee’s right for indemnification under this Agreement and the amount of such Buyer Indemnitee’s Losses and (ii) the amount on deposit in the Indemnity Escrow Account that should be reserved (the “Reserved Amount”) in respect of such Claims Notice.

(b)If the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer, as the case may be, in good faith objects to any claim made in a Claim Notices, then the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer, as the case may be, shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to the other applicable Party during the thirty (30) day period commencing upon receipt by such Party of the Claims Notice. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made in the relevant Claims Notice, including, to the extent reasonably determinable at such time, the amount of Losses in connection with such claim determined by the party delivering such Claims Dispute Notice. If no Claims Dispute Notice is delivered prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, then (i) each claim for indemnification set forth in such Claim Notice shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in favor of the Indemnitee for purposes of this Section 12.8(b) on the terms set forth in the Claims Notice and (ii) as applicable, if any funds remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account, then Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct the Escrow Agent to deliver cash from the Indemnity Escrow Account to the Buyer Indemnitees in accordance with such Claims Notice or as otherwise required pursuant to this Article XII or the Escrow Agreement.

(c)Following delivery of a Claims Dispute Notice, Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall attempt in good faith for the 45-day period commencing upon the receipt by the applicable Party of such Claims Dispute Notice (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed between Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative) to resolve any such objections raised in such Claims Dispute Notice. If the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer agree to a resolution of such objection during such period, then (i) a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer shall be prepared and signed by both parties, and (ii) as applicable, if such memorandum calls for a payment to the Buyer Indemnitees and any funds remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct the Escrow Agent to act in accordance with such memorandum and distribute cash from the Indemnity Escrow Account in accordance therewith, or as otherwise required pursuant to this Section 12.8 or the Escrow Agreement.

(d)If no such resolution can be reached during such 45-day period, then upon the expiration of such period, either the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer may bring suit to resolve the objection by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Article XIV. Pending a resolution of the Reserved Amount in respect of any Claims Notice, the Reserved Amount therefor shall be the amount estimated in good faith by the Buyer Indemnitee based on back-up documentation containing such detail as is reasonable under the circumstances.

(e)Upon the agreement by the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer Indemnitee or as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in respect of any Claims Notice, the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement to pay to the Buyer Indemnitee the lesser of (i) the amount of the Losses in respect of such Claims Notice and (ii) the balance then on deposit in the Indemnity Escrow Account.

(g)Following the Release Date, from time to time, upon resolution of any Claims Notice in respect of any individual claim for indemnification made by the Buyer Indemnitees and the appropriate amount, if any, from the Indemnity Escrow Account having been paid to the Buyer Indemnitees in respect of such Claims Notice, the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to (x) NewCo (for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages) (y) the Company (for further distribution to the holders of Option and Transaction Bonus Recipients who are current or former employees of the Company, through the Company’s normal payroll procedures, in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages), and (z) the holders of Option and Transaction Bonus Recipients who are not current or former employees of the Company, in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages, the excess of the balance then on deposit in the Indemnity Escrow Account over the aggregate Reserved Amount in respect of all remaining unresolved claims for indemnification properly made by the Buyer Indemnitees prior to the Release Date, in each case, if any.

Section 13.2Authority of Sellers’ Representative. Each Seller Party, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and such Seller Party’s successors and permitted assigns, hereby irrevocably grants the Sellers’ Representative full power and authority: (a) to make decisions on behalf of the Seller Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns with respect to the transactions and matters contemplated under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including adjustments to the Purchase Price and indemnification claims; (b) to (i) dispute or refrain from disputing, on behalf of such Seller Party and such Seller Party’s successors and permitted assigns, any claim made by the Buyer or any other Person under this Agreement; (ii) negotiate and compromise, on behalf of such Seller Party and such Seller Party’s successors and permitted assigns, any dispute that may arise under, and to exercise or refrain from exercising any remedies available under, this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement; and (iii) execute, on behalf of such Seller Party and such Seller Party’s successors and permitted assigns, any settlement agreement, release or other document with respect to such dispute or remedy; (c) to give or agree to, on behalf of such Seller Party and such Seller Party’s successors and permitted assigns, any and all consents, waivers, amendments or modifications, deemed by the Sellers’ Representative, in the Sellers’ Representative’s sole discretion, to be necessary or appropriate, under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, and, in each case, to execute and deliver any documents that may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith; (d) to enforce, on behalf of such Seller Party and such Seller Party’s successors and permitted assigns, any claim against the Buyer arising under this Agreement; (e) to engage attorneys, accountants and other agents at the expense of Sellers and their respective successors and permitted assigns; (f) to amend this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement (other than this Section 13.2) or any of the instruments to be delivered to the Buyer by such Seller Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and (g) to give such instructions and to

take such action or refrain from taking such action, on behalf of such Seller Party and such Seller Party’s successors and permitted assigns, as the Sellers’ Representative deems, in the Sellers’ Representative’s sole discretion, necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement including the exercise of all rights granted to such Seller and such Seller’s successors and permitted assigns under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Seller Parties, except as expressly provided herein, in the Escrow Agreement and in the Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Sellers’ Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedules.

Section 13.3Reliance. Each Seller Party, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and such Seller Party’s successors and permitted assigns, hereby agrees to the following:

(a)In all matters in which action by the Sellers’ Representative is required or permitted, the Sellers’ Representative is authorized to act on behalf of such Seller Party, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and such Seller Party’s successors and permitted assigns as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Seller Party, notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among the Seller Parties or their respective successors or permitted assigns or between any Seller Party or any Seller Party’s successors and permitted assigns and the Sellers’ Representative, and Buyer will be entitled to rely on any and all action taken by the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement without any liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any Seller Party or any Seller in Party’s successors and permitted assigns, notwithstanding any knowledge on the part of Buyer of any such dispute or disagreement. The Buyer and the Company will be fully protected in dealing with the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement (or any other Transaction Document) and may rely upon the authority of the Sellers’ Representative to act on behalf of the Seller Parties.

(b)Notice to the Sellers’ Representative, delivered in the manner provided Section 14.4, will be deemed to be notice to all Sellers and their respective successors and permitted assigns for purposes of this Agreement.

(c)Seller Parties waive any and all defenses which may be available to any Seller Party to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Sellers’ Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement.

(d)The power and authority of the Sellers’ Representative, as described in this Agreement, will continue in force until all rights and obligations of the Sellers and their respective successors and permitted assigns under this Agreement terminate, expire or are fully performed.

(e)A majority-in-interest of the Seller Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns will have the right, exercisable from time to time upon written notice delivered to the Buyer, to request: (1) the removal of the Sellers’ Representative, with or without cause, or (2) that a Seller Party (or, in the case of a Seller Party that is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or trust, an officer, manager, employee or partner of such Seller Party) fill a vacancy caused by the death, resignation or removal of the Sellers’ Representative; provided; however, that the removal of the Sellers’ Representative or the filling of any vacancy caused by the death, resignation or removal of the Sellers’ Representative shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Buyer, which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(f)If the Sellers’ Representative resigns or is removed or otherwise ceases to function in his capacity as such for any reason whatsoever, and no successor is appointed pursuant to this Section 13.3 within thirty (30) days, then the Buyer will have the right to appoint a Seller or a successor or permitted assign thereof to act as Sellers’ Representative to serve as described in this Agreement. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Sellers’ Representative or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

Section 13.4Actions by Seller Parties. Each Seller Party, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and such Seller Party’s successors and permitted assigns, agrees that, notwithstanding the foregoing, at the request of the Buyer, such Seller Party and such Seller Party’s successors and permitted assigns will take all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including delivery of such Seller’s Interests and acceptance of the Purchase Price therefor) individually on such Seller Party’s own behalf and on behalf of such Seller Party’s successors and permitted assigns, and to deliver any other documents required of Seller Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 13.5Other Issues Regarding Sellers’ Representative.

(a)Certain Seller Parties have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Sellers’ Representative to provide direction to the Sellers’ Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement (such Seller Parties, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Sellers’ Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Sellers’ Representative Group”), will be liable to any Seller Party (or any Seller Party’s successors or permitted assigns) with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, except for actions or omissions arising from the Sellers’ Representative’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b)The Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to retain counsel and to incur such expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses) as the Sellers’ Representative deems to be necessary or appropriate in connection with its performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement. The Seller Parties shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representative Group from and against any and all fees, losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, costs, and expenses (including fees, disbursements and costs of counsel and other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement (collectively, the “Sellers’ Representative Expenses”) incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in performing its duties hereunder, under the Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement or under the Escrow Agreement and such Sellers’ Representative Expenses will be borne by the Seller Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (severally as to each Seller Party (or such Seller Party’s successor or permitted assigns) only and not jointly as to or with any other Seller Party (or such Seller Party’s successor or permitted assigns)); provided, however, that the Sellers’ Representative may cause the Buyer or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to deduct such Sellers’ Representative Expenses from the amounts otherwise distributable to the Seller Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns and pay such amounts to Sellers’ Representative. Such Sellers’ Representative Expenses may be recovered first from the Expense Fund, second from any distribution of the Indemnity Escrow Amount or Earn-Out Payments otherwise distributable to the Seller Parties at the time of distribution, and third, directly from the Sellers Parties. The Seller Parties acknowledge that the Sellers’ Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Furthermore, the Sellers’ Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Sellers’ Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Sellers’ Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in performing such actions. The obligations of the Seller Parties under this Section 13.5 will be several in accordance with each Seller’s Transaction Percentage.

(c)The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the any certificates, schedules or exhibits contemplated in this agreement, including any allocation of the Purchase Price among the Seller Parties, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Seller Party or other party.

Section 13.6Expense Fund.

(a)Upon the Closing, Buyer shall wire to the Sellers’ Representative the Expense Fund Amount. The Expense Fund Amount shall be held by the Sellers’ Representative in a segregated client account and shall be used (i) for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Sellers’ Representative for any Sellers’ Representative Expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group (the “Expense Fund”). The Expense Fund Amount as contemplated

herein shall reflect a proportionate contribution from each Seller in an amount equal to such Person’s Transaction Percentage. The Sellers’ Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund, and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. The Seller Parties will not receive any interest on the Expense Fund and assign to the Sellers’ Representative any such interest. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Sellers’ Representative may contribute funds to the Expense Fund from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Seller Parties.

(b)At the end of the Release Date, subject to any amount reserved in the reasonable judgment of the Sellers’ Representative with respect to any unresolved or unsatisfied claim for indemnification pursuant to Article XII, the remainder of the Expense Fund shall be promptly remitted by the Seller Parties to the Buyer, who will cause to distribute such remainder of the Expense Fund to the Seller Parties in accordance with each such Seller Party’s respective Transaction Percentage. With respect to any reserved amounts remaining in the Expense Fund following the expiration of the Release Date, any remaining amounts shall be promptly distributed by the Sellers’ Representative following the resolution or satisfaction of such pending claim to the Buyer for further distribution to the Seller Parties in accordance with each such Seller Party’s respective Transaction Percentage.

Article XIV

Section 14.2Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative.

Section 14.5Binding Effect; Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the Buyer (in the case of any assignment by any Seller, or prior to the Closing, the Company) or the Sellers’ Representative (in the case of any assignment by the Buyer or, from and after the Closing, the Company), and any

purported assignment or other transfer without such consent shall be void and unenforceable; provided, however, that without written consent of any party hereto, (i) the Buyer may assign its rights and obligations to any of its Affiliates, and (ii) the Buyer may assign its rights hereunder as collateral security to any lender to the Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer; provided, further, however, that no such assignment shall relieve the Buyer of any Liability, obligation or covenant hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 14.6No Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights, remedies or claims upon any Person not a party or a permitted assignee of a party to this Agreement, except as set forth in Article XII (Indemnification) Section 7.6 (Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation), Section 7.16 (Indemnification of Directors and Officers) or Section 14.11 (No Recourse Against Non-Parties).

Section 14.7Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof or of any other jurisdiction.

Section 14.8Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.

(a)Other than an Action by the Buyer for equitable relief as set forth in Section 7.6(d), any Action seeking to enforce any provision of, or, directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to, this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions shall be brought in any Delaware state or federal court located in New Castle County, in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such Action and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Action in any such court or that any such Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such Action may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 14.4 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 14.9WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,

THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 14.10Severability. Without limitation to Section 7.6(d)(ii), which shall govern for purposes of Section 7.6, if any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the Contemplated Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, the Buyer, the Company and the Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner so that the Contemplated Transactions may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 14.11No Recourse Against Non-Parties. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other advisors of Buyer, the Company or Sellers or of any Affiliate of any of them, or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns (collectively, “Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim or Action based on, in respect of or by reason of the Contemplated Transactions and each party hereto waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this provision of this Agreement.

Section 14.12Obligations of the Sellers. Whenever this Agreement requires NewCo to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include a requirement of each Seller to cause NewCo to take such action.

Section 14.13Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures to each counterpart were upon a single instrument, and all such counterparts together shall be deemed an original of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when, and only when, each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto.

Section 14.14Attorney-Client Privilege and Conflict Waiver.

(a)Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxx LLP (“Cooley”) has acted as counsel to the Company in various matters involving a range of issues and as counsel to the Company in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)In connection with any matter or dispute under this Agreement, Buyer hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause the Company following the Closing to irrevocably waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with (i) Xxxxxx’x prior representation of the Company and (ii) Xxxxxx’x representation of the Sellers’ Representative and/or any of the Seller Parties prior to and after the Closing.

(c)Buyer further agrees, on behalf of itself and, after the Closing, on behalf of the Company, that all communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among any of Cooley, the Company, any of the Seller Parties, or any of their respective representatives to the extent related to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or, beginning on the date of this Agreement, any dispute arising under this Agreement (collectively, the “Deal Communications”) shall be deemed to be retained and owned collectively by the Seller Parties, shall be controlled by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers Parties and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or, following the Closing, the Company. All Deal Communications that are attorney-client privileged (the “Privileged Deal Communications”) shall remain privileged after the Closing and the privilege and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers Parties, shall be controlled by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers Parties and shall not pass to or be claimed by any of the Buyer or, following the Closing, the Company; provided, further, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any of the Buyer or any of their Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Affiliates) of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any such communications to any third party.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer or, after the Closing, the Company, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Sellers’ Representative or the Sellers Parties, on the other hand, Buyer or, following the Closing, the Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Deal Communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor, following the Closing, the Company may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative. In the event that Buyer or, following the Closing, the Company is legally required by governmental order or otherwise to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Deal Communications, Buyer shall immediately (and, in any event, within 2 Business Days) notify the Sellers’ Representative in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section 14.14 so that the Sellers’ Representative can seek a protective order and Buyer agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts, at the Sellers’ Representative’s expense, to assist therewith.

(e)To the extent that Privileged Deal Communications constitute property of its clients, only the Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers Parties shall hold such property rights and Xxxxxx shall have no duty to reveal or disclose any Privileged Deal Communications by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Xxxxxx, on the one hand, and Company, on the other hand so long as such files or other materials would be subject to a privilege or protection if they were being requested in a proceeding by an unrelated third party.

(f)Buyer agrees on behalf of itself and, following the Closing, the Company, (i) to the extent that Buyer or, after the Closing, the Company receives or takes physical possession of any Privileged Deal Communications, (a) such physical possession or receipt shall not, in any way, be deemed a waiver by any of the Seller Parties or any other Person, of the privileges or protections described in this section, and (b) neither Buyer nor, following the Closing, the Company shall assert any claim that any of the Seller Parties or any other Person waived the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or any other right or expectation of client confidence applicable to any such materials or communications, (ii) not to access or use the Privileged Deal Communications, including by way of review of any electronic data, communications or other information, or by seeking to have the Sellers’ Representative or any Seller waive the attorney-client or other privilege, or by otherwise asserting that Buyer or, following the Closing, the Company has the right to waive the attorney-client or other privilege and (iii) not to seek to obtain the Privileged Deal Communications from Xxxxxx so long as such Privileged Deal Communications would be subject to a privilege or protection if they were being requested in a proceeding by an unrelated third party.
