Section 2.04 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Closing Adjustment. Before the Closing, the Sellers’ Representative delivered to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) the Sellers’ Representative’s good faith estimate of (A) Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), (B) Closing Cash (the “Estimated Closing Cash”), (C) Closing Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), and (D) Closing Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses”), and (ii) the Seller’s Representative’s calculation of the Estimated Cash Consideration, which statement contained an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), and a certificate of a Manager of the Company that the Estimated Closing Working Capital was calculated in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the calculation of Target Working Capital.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a statement (the “Revised Closing Statement”) setting forth its good faith calculation of (i) Closing Working Capital (the “Revised Closing Working Capital”), (ii) Closing Cash (the “Revised Closing Cash”), (iii) Closing Indebtedness (the “Revised

Closing Indebtedness”), (iv) Closing Transaction Expenses (the “Revised Closing Transaction Expenses”), and (v) Revised Cash Consideration, which statement shall contain a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Buyer that the Revised Closing Working Capital was calculated in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the calculation of Target Working Capital.

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Revised Closing Statement, the Sellers’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Revised Closing Statement. During the Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative and Sellers’ Accountants shall have reasonable access to the books and records of the Company, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Buyer and/or Buyer’s Accountants to the extent that they relate to the Revised Closing Statement as the Sellers’ Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Revised Closing Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the business operations of Buyer or the Company.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative may object to the Revised Closing Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth the Sellers’ Representative’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for the Sellers’ Representative’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). For avoidance of doubt, all other matters with respect to, and all other components of, the Revised Closing Statement not identified in the Statement of Objections as an item or amount in dispute will be binding and conclusive on the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement and not subject to further dispute or challenge absent manifest error. If the Sellers’ Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, (i) the Revised Closing Statement and all components thereof will be deemed final and binding on the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement and not subject to further dispute or challenge and (ii) the Revised Cash Consideration shall be deemed the Final Cash Consideration. If the Sellers’ Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Revised Closing Statement (and all components thereof) with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall be final and binding on the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement and not subject to further dispute or challenge and the Revised Cash Consideration as modified by written agreement of the Parties shall be deemed the Final Cash Consideration.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to an impartial regionally or nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants mutually agreed to by Sellers’ Representative and Buyer (the “Independent Accountant”) who shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make adjustments to the Revised Closing Statement to reflect the Independent Accountant’s final determination as to the Disputed Amounts. The Parties agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. If Disputed Amounts are submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, (i) Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to such Disputed Amounts as the Independent Accountant requests and as are available to such Party or such Party’s Representatives and Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will be

afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountant any material relating to such Disputed Amounts, (ii) Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm not to revise any element of the Revised Closing Statement that is not a Disputed Amount or assign a value to any element of a Disputed Amount greater than the largest value for such item claimed by either such Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either such Party.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by the Sellers, on the one hand, and by Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Sellers or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Sellers and Buyer. Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to determine the amount of fees and expenses due from the Parties in the Independent Accountant’s final determination pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(iv).

(v) Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the Parties shall agree in writing) after the Independent Accountant’s engagement, and the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the Disputed Amounts and such determination (to the extent compliant with Section 2.04(c)(iii) and absent manifest error) will be final, binding, and conclusive on the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement and not subject to further dispute or challenge and will be used in the determination of the Final Cash Consideration and all components thereof. The Parties are entitled to enter and reduce to judgment any award given by the Independent Accountant in accordance with this Section 2.04(c)(v) in a court of competent jurisdiction if payment is not timely made in accordance with Section 2.04(d).

(d) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Final Cash Consideration exceeds the Estimated Cash Consideration, then, within two (2) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Cash Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.04, (i) Buyer shall pay to each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such Seller’s Purchase Price Bank Account, and (ii) Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the then current balance of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. If the Estimated Cash Consideration exceeds the Final Cash Consideration, then, within two (2) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Cash Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.04, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to (A) Buyer the amount of such excess out of the then current balance of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, and (B) each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the then remaining balance of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund, if any after making such payment to Buyer, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement; provided, however, if the then current balance of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund is insufficient to cover the entire amount payable to Buyer pursuant to clause (A) of this Section 2.04(d), then Sellers, Jointly/Severally, shall promptly pay to Buyer the unpaid portion of such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Buyer to the Sellers’ Representative in writing; provided, further, however, (but without limiting the foregoing) if the then current balance of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund is insufficient to cover the entire amount payable to Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.04(d), Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, to recover the shortfall from the Indemnification Escrow Fund (and, in the event of such election, the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent accordingly).

(e) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless (a) a final “determination” (as that term is defined for purposes of Code Section 1313 or corresponding state Laws) with respect to any such payment causes such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes or (b) as otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 2.05 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions shall take place on the date hereof at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) remotely by exchange of documents and signatures (or their electronic counterparts), or at such other time or on such other date or at such other place as the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer may mutually agree upon in writing (the day on which the Closing takes place being the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be effective as of 12:00:01 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”). All Transactions that are to occur on and as of the Closing Date will be deemed to have occurred simultaneously as of the Effective Time.

Section 2.06 Earnout.

(a) If and to the extent earned in accordance with this Section 2.06 and Annex B to this Agreement, Sellers shall be entitled to an earnout payment (the “Earnout Payment”) from Buyer. The Earnout Payment for all purposes under this Agreement shall be calculated in accordance with Annex B.

(b) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the end of the Earnout Period, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a statement (the “Earnout Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of EBITDA and the Earnout Payment, if any. After receipt of the Earnout Statement, the Sellers’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days (the “Earnout Review Period”) to review the Earnout Statement. During the Earnout Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative and Sellers’ Accountants shall have reasonable access to the books and records of the Company, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by Buyer and/or Buyer’s Accountants, to the extent that they relate to the Earnout Statement, as the Sellers’ Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Earnout Statement and to prepare an Earnout Objection Notice (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the business operations of Buyer or the Company.

(c) On or prior to the last day of the Earnout Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative may object to the Earnout Statement by delivering to Buyer a written notice setting forth the Sellers’ Representative’s objections to the Earnout Statement in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for the Sellers’ Representative’s disagreement therewith (the “Earnout Objection Notice”). For avoidance of doubt, all other matters with respect to, and all other components of, the Earnout Statement not identified in the Earnout Objection Notice as an item or amount in dispute will be binding and conclusive on the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement and not subject to further dispute or challenge absent manifest error. If the Sellers’ Representative fails to deliver the Earnout Objection Notice before the expiration of the Earnout Review Period, the Earnout Statement and all components thereof (including Buyer’s calculation of the Earnout Payment) will be deemed final and binding on the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement and not subject to further dispute or challenge. If the Sellers’ Representative delivers the Earnout Objection Notice before the expiration of the Earnout Review Period, then the Parties shall resolve the matters in dispute in a manner consistent, mutatis mutandis, with the review and dispute procedures set forth in Section 2.04(c).

(d) Except as set forth in Section 2.06(e) below, nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict in any way management of Buyer from operating the Company and the Company’s businesses and operations in any respect and making all customer and other business decisions in the manner that Buyer’s management or board of directors deems appropriate in their sole discretion and without taking into consideration the impact of such actions on the Earnout Payment, if any. For avoidance of doubt, neither Buyer nor any of Buyer’s Affiliates (i) owes Sellers any fiduciary or other duty in respect of this

Section 2.06, (ii) is making any representations or warranties to Sellers with respect to the operations of the Company or the Company’s businesses after the Closing or with respect to any estimates or projections relating to EBITDA for the Earnout Period, or (iii) has any obligation in respect of this Section 2.06 other than an obligation to comply with the covenants and agreements expressly set forth in this Section 2.06 and in Annex B, it being the Parties’ intention that all other representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, and agreements, express or implied, in respect of this Section 2.06 and Annex B, and the earning or payment of the Earnout Payment, if any, are expressly waived and disclaimed by Sellers. Nothing in this Agreement will be interpreted as a restriction or limitation on Buyer’s or any of Buyer’s Affiliates’ rights and abilities (A) to acquire by purchase, exchange, or otherwise any other Person, whether or not engaged in a business similar or related to any of the businesses of the Company (an “Acquired Business”), or (B) to sell the Company or sell or assign all or any of the membership interests of the Company to another Person or to merge the Company with another Person (such other Person, a “Consolidating Business”). Sellers will have no rights or interests in, or relating to, any Acquired Business or any Consolidating Business.

(e) Buyer shall not take any action with the knowing and primary purpose and intent of artificially preventing or decreasing in any material respect the earning of the Earnout Payment, if any. Buyer covenants and agrees that, during the Earnout Period and subject to Annex B, Buyer will:

(i) operate the Company’s business as a separate business unit;

(ii) maintain separate financial statements for such business unit;

(iii) maintain the Company’s sales and marketing expenditures at a level consistent with the average monthly expenditures for the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Closing Date (except to the extent reasonably necessary to conduct the business of the Company in the Ordinary Course or except as is otherwise commercially reasonable);

(iv) refrain from a material increase in any expenses attributed to the business unit above the Company’s pre-Closing expenses for the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Closing Date (except to the extent reasonably necessary to conduct the business of the Company in the Ordinary Course or except as is otherwise commercially reasonable);

(v) refrain from intentionally diverting any revenues away from such business unit to any of Buyer’s other business units or any of its Affiliates; and

(vi) credit all revenue generated from the sale of the Company Products to such business unit.

(f) Sellers acknowledge and agree that there may be no Earnout Payment payable pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 and that the right to receive the Earnout Payment, if any, pursuant to this Agreement: (i) does not represent an equity or other ownership interest in Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates; (ii) does not carry voting, dividend, or liquidation rights; (iii) is not represented by any form of certificate or instrument; (iv) does not bear any interest; and (v) is not assignable or transferable (other than by testamentary disposition or the laws of intestacy).

(g) Within two (2) Business Days after the final determination of the amount of the Earnout Payment, if any, in accordance with this Section 2.06, Buyer shall pay (i) to each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the Earnout Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such Seller’s Purchase Price Bank Account.

(h) The Parties shall treat the payment of the Earnout Payment Amount made under this Section 2.06, if any, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless (a) a final “determination” (as that term is defined for purposes of Code Section 1313 or corresponding state Laws) with respect to any such payment causes such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes or (b) otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 2.07 PPP Escrow Account. The PPP Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent in the PPP Escrow Account until the earlier of (a) transfer of the PPP Escrow Amount to an escrow account established with the PPP Lender under the terms of an escrow agreement executed by the Company, the Sellers’ Representative and the PPP Lender (a “PPP Escrow Transfer”), or (b) such time as the PPP Lender and the applicable Governmental Authority have made a final determination regarding the forgiveness of the PPP Loan in accordance with applicable Law. In the event of a PPP Escrow Transfer, (i) references to the Escrow Agent in this Section 2.07 shall be deemed to refer to the PPP Lender, (ii) references to the PPP Escrow Account in this Section 2.07 shall be deemed to refer to the PPP Escrow Account as transferred to the PPP Lender in the PPP Escrow Transfer, (iii) references in this Section 2.07 to the PPP Escrow Amount shall refer to the amount so transferred to the PPP Lender in the PPP Escrow Transfer, (iv) Sellers shall bear all costs and expenses payable to the PPP Lender in connection with a PPP Escrow Transfer, including any escrow fees due in connection with establishing the escrow arrangement with the PPP Lender, and (v) to the extent that the PPP Lender requires that an amount in excess of the PPP Escrow Amount be deposited into escrow, Sellers shall be responsible for the deposit of such excess amount. Upon final determination of the PPP Lender and the applicable Governmental Authority regarding the forgiveness of the PPP Loan in accordance with applicable Law, (i) an amount equal to the portion of the PPP Loan not forgiven shall be disbursed from the PPP Escrow Account to the PPP Lender for repayment of any unforgiven portion of the PPP Loan, and (ii) the balance of the PPP Escrow Amount remaining in the PPP Escrow Account after the disbursement required pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) shall be disbursed to Sellers’ Representative for subsequent payment by Sellers’ Representative to Sellers in accordance with Sellers’ respective Pro Rata Shares. Promptly following such final determination, Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall (or shall cause the Company to) take such action, including the execution and delivery of joint instructions, if applicable, as is reasonably necessary or required to instruct the PPP Lender to disburse the PPP Escrow Amount as required by this Section 2.07.

The Retention Bonus Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement until such time as a final determination is made by Buyer as to whether each Retention Bonus Recipient is entitled to payment of the his or her Retention Bonus pursuant to the terms of the applicable Retention Bonus Agreement. Upon a final determination by Buyer that a Retention Bonus Recipient is no longer eligible to receive the applicable Retention Bonus, an amount equal to such Retention Bonus shall be disbursed from the Retention Bonus Escrow Fund to Sellers’ Representative for subsequent payment by Sellers’ Representative to Sellers in accordance with Sellers’ respective Pro Rata Shares. Upon a final determination by Buyer that a Retention Bonus Recipient is entitled to receipt of the Retention Bonus pursuant to the terms of the applicable Retention Bonus Agreement, an amount equal to such Retention Bonus (plus the amount of any payroll or other Taxes owed by Buyer or the Company in connection with the payment of such Retention Bonus) shall be disbursed from the Retention Bonus Escrow Fund to Buyer. Promptly following a final determination with respect to each Retention Bonus Agreement, Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall take such action, including the execution and delivery of joint instructions, as is reasonably necessary or required to instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse the Retention Bonus Escrow Fund (or applicable portion thereof) as required by this Section 2.08.

Section 2.09 Purchase Price Allocation. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price and any other items that are treated as additional purchase price for Tax purposes among

the Assets of the Company. The Allocation Schedule shall be reasonable and shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. After receipt of the Allocation Schedule, the Sellers’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days (the “Allocation Review Period”) to deliver to Buyer a written notice setting forth any objections to the Allocation Schedule in reasonable detail (the “Allocation Objection Notice”). If the Sellers’ Representative fails to deliver the Allocation Objection Notice before the expiration of the Allocation Review Period, the Allocation Schedule will be deemed final and binding on the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement and not subject to further dispute or challenge. If the Sellers’ Representative delivers the Allocation Objection Notice before the expiration of the Allocation Review Period, then the Parties shall resolve the matters in dispute in a manner consistent, mutatis mutandis, with the review and dispute procedures set forth in Section 2.04(c). The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets as set forth on the Allocation Schedule, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.09, for all Tax purposes (including the reporting of Sellers’ gain or loss and the determination of Buyer’s basis for income Tax purposes), and any adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Assets of the Company in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule. Buyer and Sellers agree to file (and cause their Affiliates and Representatives to file) their respective Tax Returns, reports, and forms (including IRS Form 8594) in a manner consistent with the final Allocation Schedule.

Section 2.10 Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer is entitled to deduct and withhold from any portion of the Purchase Price or other payment payable by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement such amounts that are required to be deducted and withheld under the Code or any other Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts will be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made and no deduction or withholding effectuated in accordance with this Section 2.10 will constitute or be deemed to constitute a breach of any of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 3.05 Financial Information.

(a) Copies of the Company’s unaudited financial statements consisting of the balance sheet of the Company as of December 31^st in each of the years 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 and the related statements of income and retained earnings, members’ equity and cash flow for the years then ended (the “Annual Financial Statements”), and unaudited financial statements consisting of the balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2021 and the related statements of income and retained earnings, members’ equity and cash flow for the three-month period then ended (the “Interim Financial Statements” and together with the Annual Financial Statements, the “Financial Statements”) have been made available to Buyer in the Data Room. The Financial Statements have been prepared on a cash basis applied on a consistent basis throughout the period involved, and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the Company as of the respective dates they were prepared and the results of the operations of the Company for the periods indicated. The balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2020 is referred to herein

as the “Balance Sheet” and the date thereof as the “Balance Sheet Date” and the balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2021 is referred to herein as the “Interim Balance Sheet” and the date thereof as the “Interim Balance Sheet Date”.

(b) The Company has established and maintained an unwritten system of internal controls, including policies and procedures, that (i) require the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the material transactions and dispositions of the Assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with the historic accounting practices of the Company, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorizations of the board of managers and management of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Assets of the Company that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

(c) The Company applied for, and received, the PPP Loan. At the time of submitting the application for the PPP Loan, and at all relevant times thereafter, the Company was eligible to receive the PPP Loan and had a good faith belief that current economic uncertainty made the proceeds of the PPP Loan necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company, taking into account the Company’s current business activity and the Company’s ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support the Company’s ongoing operations in a manner not significantly detrimental to the Company. The Company has used the proceeds from the PPP Loan exclusively for CARES Act Forgivable Uses in the manner required under the CARES Act to ensure the PPP Loan will be forgiven to the maximum extent possible by the applicable Governmental Authority and the PPP Lender, after giving effect to the Transactions. At least sixty percent (60%) of the proceeds from the PPP Loan were used by the Company for Payroll Costs and all Payroll Costs were calculated as required by the CARES Act and all rules and regulations promulgated by the SBA thereunder. All Non-Payroll Costs paid using proceeds from the PPP Loan were incurred pursuant to obligations or Contracts in existence prior to February 15, 2020. Accurate and complete copies of all documents and records pertaining to the PPP Loan and the use of the proceeds from the PPP Loan have been made available to Buyer in the Data Room. The Company has submitted a final application for forgiveness with respect to the PPP Loan and has provided accurate and complete copies of the documents and records pertaining thereto to Buyer. The Company has obtained all required Consents from the PPP Lender in connection with the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and the consummation and performance of the Transactions and has established or otherwise made accommodations with the PPP Lender as may be necessary to comply with SBA Procedural Notice Number 5000-20057 issued on October 2, 2020 as a result of the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and Ancillary Documents and the consummation and performance of the Transactions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), none of Sellers will be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret Law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made: (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local Governmental Authority, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of a Law; or (B) in a complaint or other Filing filed in a lawsuit or other Proceeding, if such document is made under seal. Further, if any Seller files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of a Law, such Seller is permitted to disclose the trade secret to the attorney of such Seller and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Seller files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 5.02, is intended to limit or will be used in any way to limit a Seller’s rights to communicate or cooperate with, or provide information to, any Governmental Authority, as provided for, protected under, or warranted by applicable Law.

Section 5.06 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) During the Restricted Period, each Restricted Seller shall not, whether on such Seller’s own behalf or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, or through any other Person (other than Buyer in the performance of any such Seller’s employment duties on behalf of Buyer, if applicable), directly or indirectly, (i) engage in, or assist other Persons in engaging in, a Restricted Business in a Restricted Area, (ii) acquire any interest in, or render services to, any Person that engages in, directly or indirectly, a Restricted Business in a Restricted Area in any capacity, including as a partner, principal, equity holder, creditor, trustee, or other Representative, (iii) interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, the business relationships (whether formed before, on, or after the Closing Date) between Buyer, the Company, or any of the Affiliates of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Buyer Group”) and any of the customers,

suppliers, distributors, lessors, lessees, licensors, licensees, or creditors of any Person within the Buyer Group, as well as any others having business dealings or relations with any Person within the Buyer Group (including by bidding, quoting, or accepting the business of any customer or potential customer of any Person within the Buyer Group). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Restricted Seller is permitted to, directly or indirectly, own, solely as an investment, securities of any Person engaged in a Restricted Business in a Restricted Area that are publicly traded on a national securities exchange solely if such Seller (A) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such Person, (B) does not, directly or indirectly, own one (1%) or more of any class of securities of such Person, and (C) has no active participation in the business of such Person.

(b) During the Restricted Period, each Restricted Seller shall not, whether on such Restricted Seller’s own behalf or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, or through any other Person (other than Buyer in the performance of any such Restricted Seller’s employment duties on behalf of Buyer, if applicable), directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, induce, or encourage, or attempt to solicit, induce, or encourage (other than a general solicitation that is not directed at any current or former employee or independent contractor of any Person within the Buyer Group), any current or former employee or independent contractor of any Person within the Buyer Group to leave such employee’s employment or independent contractor’s engagement with such Person, (ii) hire, employ, or otherwise engage, or attempt to hire, employ, or otherwise engage, any employee of any Person within the Buyer Group as an employee, independent contractor, or otherwise, or (iii) otherwise interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, the relationship between any Person within the Buyer Group and any employee or independent contractor of such Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Restricted Seller is permitted to hire or engage any such employee or independent contractor whose employment or engagement with all Persons within the Buyer Group has been terminated (A) by the Buyer Group or (B) by such employee or independent contractor, in each case, after one (1) year from the date of such termination, subject, in each case, to any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, and other similar Contracts between any Person within the Buyer Group and such employee or independent contractor.

(c) Each Restricted Seller acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Agreement are (i) reasonable and not any greater than reasonably necessary to protect the Buyer Group, and (ii) in consideration of (A) the Transactions, including such Restricted Seller’s right to receive the portion of the Purchase Price payable to such Restricted Seller, and (B) additional good and valuable consideration as set forth in this Agreement and the other Ancillary Documents. Each Restricted Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchase Price is sufficient to support such Restricted Seller’s obligations under this Section 5.06. In addition, each Restricted Seller acknowledges and agrees (1) that the business of the Buyer Group is or could be conducted throughout the Restricted Area, and (2) the Buyer Group has business activities and valuable business relationships within the Buyer Group’s industries throughout the Restricted Area. Each Restricted Seller acknowledges and agrees that the potential harm to the Buyer Group of the non-enforcement of any provision of this Section 5.06 outweighs any potential harm to such Restricted Seller of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Each Restricted Seller acknowledges and agrees that such Seller has carefully read this Agreement, or has had this Agreement carefully read on such Restricted Seller’s behalf, and consulted with legal counsel of such Restricted Seller’s choosing regarding the contents of this Agreement, has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon such Restricted Seller by this Section 5.06, and is in full accord as to the necessity of such restraints for the reasonable and proper protection of confidential and proprietary information of the Buyer Group now existing or to be developed in the future. Each Restricted Seller acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Section 5.06 is reasonable with respect to subject matter, duration, scope, and geographical area. Particularly, each Restricted Seller acknowledges and agrees that, despite any presumptively reasonable timeframes set forth in the Laws of any jurisdiction, the Restricted Period, as applicable to this Section 5.06, is reasonable under these particular circumstances in light of the amount of consideration being provided to such Restricted Seller in connection with this Agreement, as well as the nature and value of the ongoing goodwill and business operations of the Company.

(d) It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that although the Parties consider the restrictions contained in this Section 5.06 to be reasonable and not any greater than reasonably necessary to protect the Buyer Group, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final judicial determination that any restriction regarding the subject matter, duration, scope, or geographical area or any other restriction contained in this Section 5.06 is an unenforceable restriction against any Restricted Seller, then the provisions of this Section 5.06 are not to be rendered void and, with respect to such Restricted Seller, such court is expressly empowered to reform such restriction, and such restriction will be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to apply as to such maximum subject matter, duration, scope, and geographical area and to such maximum extent as such court judicially determines to be enforceable against such Restricted Seller. Alternatively, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Section 5.06 is unenforceable against any Restricted Seller, and such restriction cannot be reformed so as to make it enforceable against such Restricted Seller, such finding will not affect the enforceability against such Restricted Seller of any other restriction contained in this Section 5.06 in such jurisdiction or any of the restrictions in this Section 5.06 in any other jurisdiction.

(e) In the event of a breach of this Section 5.06 by a Restricted Seller, the Restricted Period as it applies to such Restricted Seller will be extended by the duration of such breach.

Section 5.07 Data Room. From and after the Closing, Sellers and their respective Affiliates, and the respective Representatives of each of the foregoing, shall cease to have access to the Data Room and Sellers shall, and shall cause such Affiliates and Representatives to, take such actions so as to cause such cessation of access to the Data Room as of the Closing.

Section 5.08 Closing Bonuses. Buyer covenants and agrees that it will cause the Company to pay the Closing Bonuses to the Closing Bonus Recipients no later than three (3) Business Days following Closing.

(b) Subject to Section 7.04(j), Buyer shall not be liable to any Seller Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 7.03(a) (other than with respect to the Buyer Fundamental Representations, for which this limitation does not apply) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 7.03(a) equals or exceeds on a cumulative basis the Buyer Retention Amount, in which event Buyer shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Buyer Retention Amount.

(c) With respect to claims by Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 7.02(b), Section 7.02(c), Section 7.02(d), and Section 7.02(e), and for inaccuracy or breach of the Seller Fundamental Representations, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Sellers shall be liable shall not exceed the Purchase Price actually paid to the Seller in question. With respect to claims by Seller Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 7.03(b), and or for inaccuracy or breach of the Buyer Fundamental Representations, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Buyer shall be liable shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(d) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive damages, except to the extent that any such damages are paid or payable in connection with a Third-Party Claim.

(e) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs (all of which shall be deemed Losses) only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.

(f) The representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, and agreements of the Parties, and an Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification or other remedy with respect thereto or otherwise under Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as applicable, are not affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party’s Affiliates, or any of the Representatives of any of the foregoing, or by reason of the fact that such Indemnified Party,

such Indemnified Party’s Affiliates, or any such Representatives of any of the foregoing knew or should have known that any such representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, or agreement is, was, or might be inaccurate, breached, or not complied with, and such Indemnified Person will be deemed to have relied upon such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, and agreements notwithstanding any such investigation, actual or constructive knowledge, or waiver.

(g) Subject to Section 9.04, the Parties intend for each representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, and agreement contained in this Agreement to have independent significance. Subject to Section 9.04, if an inaccuracy exists in, or any Party has breached, any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, or agreement contained in this Agreement in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or obligation relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that is accurate or such Party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that an inaccuracy exists in, or such Party is in breach of, such first representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, or agreement.

(h) For purposes of (i) determining whether an inaccuracy exists or a breach has occurred with respect to a representation or warranty made in ARTICLE III (other than with respect to Section 3.07(a)) and (ii) calculating the amount of Damages to which a Buyer Indemnified Person is entitled under this ARTICLE VII, the terms “material,” “materially,” “materiality,” “material adverse effect,” and “Material Adverse Effect” and other similar qualifications will be disregarded.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no limitations (including any survival limitations and other limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VII), qualifications or procedures in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify the ability of Buyer to make claims under or recover under the R&W Insurance Policy; it being understood that any matter for which there is coverage available under the R&W Insurance Policy shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations, if any, set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy. To the extent that the procedures in this ARTICLE VII are inconsistent with the procedures in the R&W Insurance Policy with regard to matters such as notice, control, settlement, or defense of claims, the procedures in the R&W Insurance Policy will control, but this Section 7.04(i) does not relieve an Indemnified Person from any obligations under this ARTICLE VII to give notice of a claim to the Indemnifying Person.

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, including Section 7.01 and this Section 7.04, limits the survival of any claim or potential claim (including any Third-Party Claim or Direct Claim) or the Liability of any Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party for Fraud.

Section 7.05 Indemnification Procedures – Third Party Claims.

(a) If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party or a Representative of a Party (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, then such Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits material rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Each Claim Notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(b) If the R&W Insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy does not elect to assume the defense and control of the Third Party Claim, and subject to Section 6.05 with respect to Tax Claims, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after being notified of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 7.05(b) and irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledging in writing the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel (such counsel must be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party), and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 7.05(c) and Section 7.05(d), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof and, in any event, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised as to the status of such defense. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledge in writing the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.05(d), pay, compromise, and defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Sellers, the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.02) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no Party will be required to disclose, or cause the disclosure of, any information to another Party if such disclosure would, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel to such first Party, (i) constitute a waiver of any legal privilege or (ii) contravene any applicable Law or binding Contract; provided, that such first Party shall promptly inform such other Party to the extent information is excluded pursuant to this sentence, and such first Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such other Party with the maximum amount of information reasonably requested, including providing such information subject to the attorney-client privilege under joint defense privilege or seeking waiver of any applicable confidentiality restrictions. In furtherance of the foregoing, with respect to any Third-Party Claim, the Parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all confidential information and applicable legal privileges. In connection therewith, each Party agrees that (A) such Party will use commercially reasonable efforts, with respect to any Third-Party Claim in which such Party has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of confidential information of the other Parties (consistent with applicable Law and rules of procedure), and (B) all communications between any Party and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent practicable, be made so as to preserve any applicable legal privilege.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if (i) the Indemnifying Party is given notice of a Third-Party Claim in compliance with Section 7.05(a) and fails to timely notify the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim within the time period prescribed in Section 7.05(b), and irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledging in writing the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim, (ii) the claim for indemnification is based upon, arises out of, is with respect to, or is by reason of any criminal or quasi-criminal Proceeding, (iii) the relief sought in connection with the Third-Party Claim is not solely monetary damages, (iv) the Indemnified Party

reasonably concludes, based upon advice of counsel, that either a conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim or there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, (v) Buyer, if acting as the Indemnified Party, reasonably concludes that the Losses relating to the Third-Party Claim could exceed the indemnification cap set forth in Section 7.04(c), (vi) the Third-Party Claim relates to or is otherwise in respect of any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company that is not otherwise a Tax Claim controlled by Section 6.05, or (vii) the defense of the Third-Party Claim is not instituted and continuously maintained in good faith by the Indemnifying Party, then, in any such case, the Indemnified Party is entitled to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and assert a claim against the Indemnifying Party for indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this ARTICLE VII, with the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense to be included in the amount of Losses sought pursuant to such indemnification. The Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in good faith with the Indemnified Party with respect to the transfer of the defense of such Third-Party Claim from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 7.05(c).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in this Section 7.05(d). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to Liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of such notice, then the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum Liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such firm settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 7.05(c) and the Indemnifying Party has irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledged in writing the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim, it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 7.06 Indemnification Procedures – Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits material rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including reasonable access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any applicable accounts, documents or records, in each case, during normal business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with any of the businesses or operations of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates and to the extent such access does not impair any attorney-client

or other legal privilege or breach any confidentiality obligations) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 7.07 Payment of Indemnification Obligations.

(a) After (a) any final Governmental Order has been rendered by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction, (b) a settlement has been consummated in accordance with this ARTICLE VII, or (c) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party have arrived at a mutually binding Contract, in each case, with respect to a Third-Party Claim or a Direct Claim, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any amounts due and owing by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this ARTICLE VII. Any amounts due and owing by Sellers to any Buyer Indemnified Party in accordance with this ARTICLE VII (excluding under Section 7.02(e) solely with respect to Items 3 and 4 on Annex F) shall be paid first by release of funds to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party from the Indemnification Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, and any amounts due and owing by Sellers pursuant to Section 7.02(e) solely with respect to Items 3 and 4 on Annex F shall be paid first by release of funds to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party from the Special Indemnity Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (and, in each case, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall promptly instruct the Escrow Agent accordingly). If the remaining balance of the Indemnification Escrow Fund or Special Indemnity Escrow Fund, as applicable, is insufficient to pay in full the amounts due and owing by Sellers to any Buyer Indemnified Party in accordance with this ARTICLE VII, then Sellers, Jointly/Severally, shall pay to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party, within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of the earliest event to occur that is described in the first sentence of this Section 7.07(a), all such remaining amounts due and owing by Sellers to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Buyer to the Sellers’ Representative in writing. If any amounts are due and owing by Buyer to any Seller Indemnified Party in accordance with this ARTICLE VII, then Buyer shall pay to the applicable Seller Indemnified Party, within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of the earliest event to occur that is described in the first sentence of this Section 7.07(a), all such amounts due and owing by Buyer to the applicable Seller Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Sellers’ Representative to Buyer in writing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that Buyer is entitled to recover any Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the matters described on Item 2 of Annex F, Buyer shall be entitled to first recover from the Tax Escrow Fund before pursuing any other source of recovery contemplated under this Section 7.07(a).

(b) As promptly as practicable, with respect to the Indemnification Escrow Fund, after the date that falls twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, and with respect to the Special Indemnity Escrow Amount, after the date that falls eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (such date, as applicable, the “Release Date”), the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Indemnification Escrow Fund or the Special Indemnity Escrow Fund, as applicable, an amount, if any, equal to (i) the remaining balance of the Indemnification Escrow Fund or Special Indemnity Escrow Fund, as applicable, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of any claims pursuant to this ARTICLE VII which shall have been asserted by any Buyer Indemnified Party in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to such date and which remain pending on such date (any such claim as of a specified date, a “Pending Claim”), to Sellers in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares. To the extent that on or after the applicable Release Date, any amount shall have been reserved and withheld from distribution from the Indemnification Escrow Fund or the Special Indemnity Escrow Fund, as applicable, on account of a Pending Claim and, subsequent to the

applicable Release Date, such Pending Claim is resolved, the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall, within three (3) Business Days of the resolution of such Pending Claim, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Indemnification Escrow Fund or Special Indemnity Fund, as applicable, to (A) Buyer an amount, if any, equal to the amount of Loss due in respect of such Pending Claim as finally determined and (B) the Sellers’ Representative an amount, if any, equal to (x) the amount then held in the Indemnification Escrow Fund or the Special Indemnity Escrow Fund, as applicable, after payment to Buyer pursuant to clause (A), minus (y) the aggregate amount of any then remaining Pending Claims, for distribution to the Sellers in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares.

Section 7.08 Satisfaction of Indemnification Obligations through R&W Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Losses for which Sellers are obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.02(a) (other than with respect to Fraud or the Seller Fundamental Representations), after taking into account the limitations and qualifications set forth in this ARTICLE VII, shall be satisfied as follows: (a) first, from Buyer up to the Buyer Retention Amount; (b) second, from Sellers, Jointly/Severally, up to the Seller Retention Amount, provided that any such liability will first be satisfied from the Indemnification Escrow Fund until it is exhausted; and (c) third, solely from the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 7.09 Set Off. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer is entitled to set off (or hold back pending resolution of the related claim) the amount of any unpaid or unresolved claims for Losses payable to a Buyer Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE VII (other than Losses that are recoverable under the R&W Insurance Policy) against any amount payable by Buyer to Sellers pursuant to this Agreement (including Section 2.04, Section 2.06, and this ARTICLE VII), and all amounts set off in accordance with this Section 7.09 will be deemed paid to Sellers and no set off or hold back effectuated in accordance with this Section 7.09 will constitute or be deemed to constitute a breach of any of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 7.10 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless (a) a final “determination” (as that term is defined for purposes of Code Section 1313 or corresponding state Laws) with respect to any such payment causes such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes or (b) as otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 7.11 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 2.04, Section 2.06, Section 5.06 and Section 9.12, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from Fraud on the part of a Party in connection with the Transactions) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in ARTICLE VI and this ARTICLE VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, except with respect to Section 2.04, Section 2.06, Section 5.06 and Section 9.12, and except for claims arising from Fraud, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation or warranty in ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV, or any covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein it may have against the other Parties arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to ARTICLE VI or this ARTICLE VII. Nothing in this Section 7.11 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 5.06 or Section 9.12 or to seek any remedy under the Ancillary Documents or on account of Fraud by any Party.

Section 7.12 Certain Waivers and Releases.

(a) Sellers (a) shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates or any of the representatives of any of the foregoing (each, together with Sellers, a “Releasing Person”) to, commence, directly or indirectly, any Proceeding (whether for indemnification, contribution, subrogation, or otherwise) with respect to any, and (b) as of the Closing, on each Seller’s own behalf and on behalf of the other Releasing Persons, hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and acquits, and forever discharges, the Company, the Company’s Affiliates, and the Representatives (solely in their capacities as such) of each of the foregoing (each, a “Released Person”) from all, (i) debts, covenants, torts, Damages, Liabilities, demands, claims, suits, defenses, judgments, and offsets of every name and nature whatsoever, past, present or future, at law or in equity (including with respect to conduct that is negligent, grossly negligent, willful, intentional, with or without malice, or a breach of any duty or violation of any Legal Requirement), whether known or unknown, whether concealed or hidden, whether disclosed or undisclosed, whether fixed, contingent, or otherwise, whether asserted or unasserted, whether accrued or unaccrued, whether matured or unmatured, whether liquidated or unliquidated, whether due or to become due, and whether secured or unsecured, that have been or could have been asserted against any Released Person by any Releasing Person, in each case that are based on, arise out of or in any way relate to any event, circumstance, condition, action, or omission occurring or existing at or prior to the Closing (excluding any rights or obligations explicitly arising under this Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents, but specifically including any claim for limitation of liability, exculpation, indemnification, contribution, or advancement or reimbursement of expenses under any of the Constitutive Documents or the Governance Documents of the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates, any of the Tail Policies, or otherwise with respect to any Third-Party Claim or Direct Claim for which indemnification is sought by a Buyer Indemnified Person in accordance with ARTICLE VII that a Releasing Person would otherwise have but for the foregoing waivers and releases set forth in this Section 7.12), and (ii) Liabilities of Sellers under Section 2.04, ARTICLE VI, or ARTICLE VII (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, “Causes of Action”). Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that Sellers do not have any claim or right to indemnity or contribution from any of the Released Persons with respect to any amounts paid by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Sellers agree that in no event will Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates, any of the Representatives of any of the foregoing, or any of the other Released Persons have any Liability whatsoever to Sellers for any inaccuracies, breaches, nonfulfillment, or nonperformance of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, or agreements of Sellers or the Company under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents, and that Sellers shall not seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates, any of the Representatives of any of the foregoing, or any of the other Released Persons.

(b) Sellers hereby represent and warrant to the Released Persons that (i) none of Sellers or any other Releasing Person has assigned any Causes of Action or possible Causes of Action against any Released Person, (ii) Sellers and each other Releasing Person hereby fully releases, and intends to fully release, all Causes of Action against the Released Persons including unknown and contingent Causes of Action, (iii) Sellers have consulted with counsel and each other Releasing Person has had the opportunity to consult with counsel with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consequences of this Section 7.12, and (iv) none of the Releasing Persons has any ongoing or potential Cause of Action against any Released Person.

(c) Sellers, on Sellers’ own behalf and on behalf of each of the other Releasing Persons, hereby acknowledge and agree that this Section 7.12 includes a full and final release covering all Causes of Actions, including all known and unknown, suspected or unsuspected injuries, debts, claims, or other Losses that have arisen or may arise from any matters, acts, omissions, or dealings actually released in this Section 7.12. Sellers, on Sellers’ own behalf and on behalf of each of the other Releasing Persons, hereby acknowledge and agree that there is a risk that after the Closing, such Releasing Person may discover a Cause of Action that is released under this Section 7.12, but that is presently unknown to such Releasing Person, and such Releasing Person assumes such risk and understands that this release will apply to any

such Cause of Action. The foregoing release is intended to be effective as a general release of, and bar to, all such claims, whether presently known or unknown. Accordingly, each Releasing Person waives any and all rights and benefits under, or equivalent to, Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which states as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

ARTICLE VIII

SELLER REPRESENTATIVE

Section 8.01 The Sellers’ Representative.

(a) By executing and delivering this Agreement, each Seller irrevocably appoints, authorizes and constitutes Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx as agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to act on behalf of such Seller for all the purposes as specified herein (the “Sellers’ Representative”), including the full power and authority to act on such Seller’s behalf as provided in this Section 8.01. Each Seller, by executing and delivering this Agreement, further agrees that such agency, proxy and attorney-in-fact are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative, and shall be binding upon the successors, heirs, executors, administers and legal representatives of such Seller and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of such Seller. After the Closing, all decisions, actions (or failures to act within a designated period of time), consents and instructions by, or notices and communication given or received by, the Sellers’ Representative that are within the scope of the Sellers’ Representative’s authority under this Section 8.01, shall be binding upon all of the Sellers, shall constitute a decision, action (or failure to act within a designated period of time), consent or instruction by, or notice or communication given or received by, all of the Sellers, and no Seller shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest any such decision, action (or failure to act within a designated period of time), consent, instruction, notice or communication. Buyer shall be entitled to rely on any decision, action (or failure to act within a designated period of time), consent or instruction of, or notice or communication given or received by, the Sellers’ Representative as being the decision, action (or failure to act within a designated period of time), consent or instruction of, or notice or communication given or received by, Sellers, and Buyer is hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for acts done by Buyer in accordance with any such decision, act (or failure to act within a designated period of time), consent, instruction, notice or communication.

(b) The Sellers’ Representative shall have full power and authority to act on behalf of Sellers for all purposes under this Agreement and take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative shall have full power, authority and discretion to (i) give and receive notices and communications, (ii) negotiate and settle any disputes arising under, or relating to, this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents; (iii) execute and deliver any amendment or waiver to this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents (without the prior approval of Sellers); (iv) execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, and (v) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of Sellers in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents.

(c) The Sellers’ Representative may resign at any time and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of Sellers holding a majority of the Membership Interests

as of the Closing (the “Majority Sellers”). In the event of the death, incapacity, resignation or removal of the Sellers’ Representative, a new Sellers’ Representative shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of the Majority Sellers. Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Sellers’ Representative shall be sent to Buyer and such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such consent is received by Buyer; provided, that until such notice is received, Buyer shall be entitled to rely on the decisions, actions, consents and instructions of the prior Sellers’ Representative as described in Section 8.01(a).

(d) The Sellers’ Representative will incur no Liability of any kind to any Seller with respect to any action or omission by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with the Sellers’ Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any Ancillary Documents, except in the event of Liability directly resulting from the Sellers’ Representative’s bad faith or willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. Each Seller, severally and in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Sellers’ Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any Ancillary Documents; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Losses are finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by bad faith or willful misconduct of the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ Representative will reimburse Sellers the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such bad faith or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Sellers’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(e) The Sellers’ Representative shall deposit the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund in a segregated account which is fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. All fees and expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in performing its, his or her duties and any indemnification in favor of the Sellers’ Representative shall first be paid from the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund. The Sellers’ Representative shall distribute any balance remaining in the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund to the Sellers based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the remaining Sellers’ Representative’s Expense Fund at the time when the Sellers’ Representative has determined, in such Person’s sole discretion, that such Person’s duties hereunder have been fulfilled.

(f) Buyer shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Sellers’ Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Seller by the Sellers’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Seller by the Sellers’ Representative, as being fully binding upon such Person. Notices or communications to or from the Sellers’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from each Seller. Any decision or action by the Sellers’ Representative hereunder, including any agreement between the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims for indemnification hereunder, shall constitute a decision or action of all Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Seller. No Seller shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The provisions of this Section 8.01, including the power of attorney granted hereby, are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not be terminated by any act of any one of the Sellers, or by operation of Law, whether by death or other event.

Section 9.03 Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement, unless the contacts requires otherwise: (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the word “or” is not exclusive; (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto”

and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole; (d) the words “to the extent” mean the degree to which and not simply “if”; (e) words in the singular or plural form include the plural and singular form, respectively, (f) pronouns are deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the Person or Persons requires; (g) references to “Dollars” or “$” are references to United States Dollars; (h) references to Articles, Sections, Disclosure Schedules, and Annexes mean the Articles and Sections of, and Disclosure Schedules, and Annexes attached to, this Agreement; (i) references to a Contract, instrument or other document means such Contract, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof; (j) references to a Law means such Law as amended from time to time and includes any successor Law thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder; (k) an accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning ascribed to such term in accordance with GAAP for purposes of calculating Closing Working Capital and the Earnout Payment, (l) references to “written” or “in writing” include electronic form, and (m) any reference in this Agreement to a “day” or a number of “days” (without explicit reference to “Business Days”) will be interpreted as a reference to a calendar day or number of calendar days. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Disclosure Schedules and Annexes referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. Whenever this Agreement indicates that any Seller or the Company has “made available” any information or document to Buyer, such statement will be deemed to be a statement that such Seller or the Company has posted, or caused to be posted, such information or document to the Data Room on or prior to the Closing Date (but, in any event, no later than (2) hours prior to the Closing) and such information or document was not subsequently removed from the Data Room prior to the Closing.

Section 9.04 Disclosure Schedules. All section headings in the Disclosure Schedules correspond to the sections of this Agreement, but information provided in any section of the Disclosure Schedules shall constitute disclosure for purposes of each section of the Disclosure Schedules to the extent that it is readily apparent on the face of a particular section of the Disclosure Schedules that information disclosed in such section of the Disclosure Schedules is applicable to another section of the Disclosure Schedules, in which case such other section of the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to incorporate by reference such information disclosed on the first referenced Schedule. Unless the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in this Agreement. Certain information set forth in the Disclosure Schedules is included solely for informational purposes, and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in the Disclosure Schedules shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules. No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any Contract or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by any Seller that in and of itself, such information is material to or outside the Ordinary Course. No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to create any rights in any third party.

Section 9.05 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.06 Severability. Subject to Section 5.06(d), if any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Subject to Section 5.06(d), upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate

in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to give effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.07 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous representations, warranties, understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement, Annexes, and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

Section 9.08 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Seller may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Buyer may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withhold, conditioned or delayed), except that Buyer is permitted to assign any of Buyer’s rights and delegate any of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, (a) to any Affiliate of Buyer, (b) in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the ownership interests or Assets of, or any business combination transaction involving, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates, and (c) as collateral to any financial institution providing financing to Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation or breach of this Section 9.08 will be void ab initio.

Section 9.09 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in ARTICLE VII and as contemplated by Section 5.02 and Section 5.06, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.10 Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. No waiver by any Party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Section 9.11 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (explicitly including the Delaware statute of limitations) without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction).

(b) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.04 AND SECTION 2.06, ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY MAY BE INSTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED

STATES OF AMERICA OR THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE IN EACH CASE LOCATED IN THE CITY OF WILMINGTON AND COUNTY OF NEW CASTLE, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11(c).

Section 9.12 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, without posting any bond or other undertaking or proving Losses, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Section 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission (including via xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement. Signatures of the Parties transmitted by facsimile, e-mail, or other means of electronic transmission (including via xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) are deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

Section 9.14 Conflict Waiver; Attorney-Client Privilege.

(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, shareholders, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that:

(i) Integral Business Counsel, PLLC has acted as counsel to (A) the Company and (B) Sellers, and (C) their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Group”), in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions. Buyer agrees, and shall cause the Company to agree, that, following the Closing, such representation and any prior representation of the Company by Integral Business Counsel, PLLC (or any successor) (“Seller Group Law Firm”) shall not preclude Seller Group Law Firm from serving as counsel

to the Seller Group or any director, member, shareholder, partner, officer or employee of the Seller Group, in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(ii) Neither Buyer nor the Company shall have or seek to have Seller Group Law Firm disqualified from any such representation based on the prior representation of the Company by Seller Group Law Firm. Each of the Parties hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising from such prior representation, and each of such Parties shall cause any of its Affiliates to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. Each of the Parties acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the Parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in connection herewith. The covenants, consent and waiver contained in this Section 9.14(a) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Seller Group Law Firm is entitled whether pursuant to law, contract or otherwise.

(b) All communications between the Seller Group or the Company, on the one hand, and Seller Group Law Firm, on the other hand, solely to the extent relating to the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Privileged Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client privileged and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Seller Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or the Company. Accordingly, Buyer and the Company shall not have access to any Privileged Communications or to the files of Seller Group Law Firm to the extent relating to such engagement from and after Closing and may not use or rely on any Privileged Communications in any claim, dispute, action, suit or proceeding against or involving any of the Seller Group. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (i) the Seller Group (and not Buyer or the Company) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Privileged Communications, and none of Buyer or the Company shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Seller Group Law Firm contain Privileged Communications constitute property of the client, only the Seller Group (and not Buyer nor the Company) shall hold such property rights to the extent of such Privileged Communications and (iii) Seller Group Law Firm shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such Privileged Communications to Buyer or the Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Seller Group Law Firm and the Company or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company), on the one hand, and a third party other than any of the Seller Group, on the other hand, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of Privileged Communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company) may waive such privilege with respect to the Privileged Communications without the prior written consent of the Seller Group, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company) is legally required by Governmental Order or otherwise legally required to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Communications, to the extent (x) permitted by applicable Law, and (y) advisable in the opinion of Buyer’s counsel, then Buyer shall promptly (and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days) notify the Sellers’ Representative in writing so that the Sellers’ Representative can seek a protective order at the sole cost and expense of the Sellers’ Representative.

(c) This Section 9.14 is intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, Seller Group Law Firm. This Section shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of Seller Group Law Firm.

Section 9.15 Non-recourse. Except with respect to Fraud, his Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against

the Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Parties. Except with respect to Fraud, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any party hereto or of any Affiliate of any Party, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any Party under this Agreement or for any claim or Proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.

ANNEX B

Earnout Payment

(a)

The amount of the Earnout Payment shall be determined as follows:

(i) If (A) EBITDA of the Company for the Earnout Period is less than or equal to $6,120,000, then Sellers shall not be entitled to any Earnout Payment;

(ii) If (A) EBITDA of the Company for the Earnout Period is greater than $6,120,000, then an Earnout Payment will be due in the amount reflected in the following illustration:


Earnout Payment		EBITDA during Earnout Period
$0		Less than or equal to $6,120,000
$1 - $5,000,000		Greater than $6,120,000 and less than or equal to $7,000,000
$5,000,001 - $10,000,000		Greater than $7,000,000 and less than or equal to $8,000,000
10,000,001 - $15,000,000		Greater than $8,000,000 and less than or equal to $9,000,000

The amount of the Earnout Payment will be straight-line interpolated between each threshold set forth in the above illustration. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Earnout Payment exceed $15,000,000.

(b) As used herein, “EBITDA” means the total of the following for the Company, each calculated for the Earnout Period: (1) net income (excluding (A) those items of revenue that do not occur in the Ordinary Course, (B) any payments received by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.04, (C) any payments received by any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Article VI or Article VII, (D) any payments received by any Buyer Indemnified Party under the R&W Insurance Policy, and (E) any revenue derived from any Acquired Business or Consolidating Business), plus, solely to the extent deducted in determining net income and without duplication, (2) interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, minus (3) any software development costs to the extent capitalized during such period, in each case with respect to clauses (1), (2), and (3), calculated in accordance with GAAP, prior to any consolidation adjustments or intercompany eliminations, subject to the following pro forma adjustments:

(i) Pro Forma Revenue Adjustments. Revenue amounts accounted for in net income shall be subject to the following pro forma adjustments:

(A) Non-recurring revenues. Any non-recurring revenues recognized during the Earnout Period shall be excluded from the calculation of net income for purposes of determining the Earnout Payment. For purposes of this Annex B, “non-recurring revenue” means the following:

(1) Perpetual License Sales. Revenues generated from perpetual license sales from which the customer receives, for contracted consideration, a perpetual license to the respective Company products;

(2) “Point in time” Revenue Recognition. Any revenues which, under appropriate application of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, are determined to be earned at a “point in time” as opposed to “over time”, as each of these revenue attribution methods are described in ASC 606. The foregoing assumes that the application of ASC 606 to the effective totality of the Company’s revenue arrangements with customers will result in such Contracts being classified as subscription arrangements with revenue recognized pro-rata over the service term (i.e., “over time” revenue attribution). In the event that the application of ASC 606 to the effective totality of the Company’s revenue arrangements with customers results in such Contracts being classified as term licenses with revenue recognized upon delivery of the related software and licenses (i.e., “point in time” revenue attribution), such revenue shall be adjusted for purposes of the Earnout Payment such that the related revenues will be allocated pro-rata over the Contract service term.

(3) Short-term Contracts. Revenues generated by Contracts with customers with an initial term of less than one year, or Contracts that can be terminated by the customer for convenience.

(B) Out-of-Market Discounts. Revenues recognized during the Earnout Period from Contracts executed during the period commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on the last day of the Earnout Period containing Out-of-Market Discounts (as defined below) shall be excluded from the calculation of net income for purposes of determining the Earnout Payment. As used herein, “Out-of-Market Discounts” means specified or implied discounts that result in the effective per unit price paid by the customer being more than 20% below the average effective per unit price paid by the Company’s total customer population during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Closing Date.

(C) Non-Proportionate Term Discounts. Revenues recognized during the Earnout Period from Contracts executed during the period commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on the last day of the Earnout Period containing Non-Proportionate Term Discounts (as defined below) shall be excluded from the calculation of net income for purposes of determining the Earnout Payment. As used herein, “Non-Proportionate Term Discounts” means any contracted discounts (whether explicitly stated or implied) that are applied or earned on any basis other than a pro rata basis over the respective revenue recognition term.

(D) Company-to-Buyer Cross-Sell Activities. Revenues recognized by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer other than the Company (a “Buyer Subsidiary”) during the Earnout Period from Contracts executed during the Earnout Period that are the result of Company-to-Buyer Cross-Sell Activities (as defined below) (all such recognized revenues, “Buyer Recognized Revenues”) shall be counted towards the calculation of net income for purposes of determining the Earnout Payment at 30% of the total amount of such Buyer Recognized Revenues. “Company-to-Buyer Cross-Sell Activities” means those activities that both (i) result in revenue for a Buyer Subsidiary, and (ii) result from the Company’s referrals of such Buyer Subsidiary’s products and services to the Company’s existing customer base.

(E) Buyer-to-Company Cross-Sell Activities. With respect to revenues recognized by the Company during the Earnout Period from Contracts executed during the Earnout Period that are the result of Buyer-to-Company Cross-Sell Activities (as defined below), the maximum gross amount of such revenues that will be counted towards the calculation of net income for purposes of determining the Earnout Payment is $619,021 (the “Incremental Revenue Cap”). “Buyer-to-Company Cross-Sell Activities” means those activities that both (i) result in revenue for the Company’s operations, and (ii) result from Buyer referrals of the Company Products to Buyer’s existing customer base.

(ii) Pro Forma Expense Adjustments. Expense amounts accounted for in net income shall be subject to the following pro forma adjustments:

(A) Company Compensation Normalization. To the extent that the compensation expense recognized by the Company during the Earnout Period (the “Earnout Period Compensation Expense”) is less than the corresponding compensation expense for the twelve-month period immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Pre-Close Period”), the Earnout Period Compensation Expense shall be adjusted for purposes of the Earnout Payment to be equal to the corresponding compensation expense for the Pre-Close Period.

(B) Owners’ Personal Expenses. To the extent that the personal expenses of any Seller (i.e., expenses with no underlying business rationale or identifiable benefit to the Buyer) recognized during the Earnout Period (“Earnout Period Personal Expenses”) are less than the corresponding personal expenses for such Seller for the Pre-Close Period, the Earnout Period Personal Expenses for such Seller will be adjusted for purposes of the Earnout Payment to be equal to the corresponding personal expenses for the Pre-Close Period.

(C) Post-Closing Synergies. To the extent that synergies and redundancies arising from the consummation of the Transactions result in the amount of any expense recognized during the Earnout Period to be less than the amount of such expense for the Pre-Close Period, the related expense will be adjusted for purposes of the Earnout Payment to be equal to the corresponding expenses for the Pre-Closing Period. Such expense categories include, but are not limited to, (a) legal and accounting fees, (b) sales and marketing costs, and (c) duplicative administrative functions. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any adjustment for an expense will only be made one-time (i.e. an expense adjustment pursuant to Section (b)(ii)(A) above will not be factored into an adjustment under this Section (b)(ii)(C).

(D) Company-to-Buyer Cross-Sell Activities. To the extent that revenues resulting from Company-to-Buyer Cross-Sell Activities (as defined above) are included in the calculation of net income for purposes of determining the Earnout Payment, a corresponding pro-forma expense allocation equal to 73% of such related revenues shall also be included in the calculation of net income.

(E) Buyer-to-Company Cross-Sell Activities. To the extent that revenues resulting from Buyer-to-Company Cross-Sell Activities (as defined above) are excluded from the calculation of net income for purposes of determining Earnout Payment due to being in excess of the Incremental Revenue Cap, a corresponding pro-forma expense allocation equal to 55% of such excluded revenues shall also be excluded from the calculation of net income.
