v.Required Consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Purchased Asset or interest therein as to which: (i) an assignment or transfer thereof or an attempt to make such an assignment or transfer without a Consent (a “Required Consent”) would constitute a Breach of applicable Law, would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights or obligations thereunder to be assigned or transferred to or for the account of Purchaser; and (ii) such Required Consent shall not have been obtained with respect to such Purchased Asset or interest therein prior to the Closing. Any transfer or assignment to Purchaser by Seller of any such Purchased Asset or interest therein (a “Delayed Asset”), and any assumption by Purchaser of any corresponding Assumed Liability (a “Delayed Liability”), shall be subject to all such Required Consents in respect of such Delayed Asset being obtained. If there are any Delayed Assets, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Required Consents in respect thereof as promptly as practicable following the Closing, all without any cost or detriment to Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection therewith. Until all Required Consents with respect to each Delayed Asset have been obtained: (i) Seller shall hold the Delayed Asset on behalf of Purchaser; (ii) Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser for no additional consideration in any lawful arrangement (including subleasing or subcontracting, or performance thereunder by Seller as Purchaser’s agent) requested by Purchaser to provide Purchaser with all of the benefits of or under any such Delayed Asset; (iii) Seller shall otherwise enforce and perform for the account of Purchaser, and as directed by Purchaser, any other rights and obligations of Seller arising from such Delayed Asset (and not waive, alter or amend any of same without the consent of Purchaser); and (iv) Purchaser shall assume no Delayed Liability with respect to the Delayed Asset. Seller shall maintain its corporate or limited liability company existence until all of its obligations pursuant to this Section 1.1(e) are performed in full, and all Delayed Assets are transferred and assigned hereunder. At such time and on each occasion after the Closing as all Required Consents with respect to a Delayed Asset have been obtained, such Delayed Asset shall automatically be transferred and assigned by the

applicable Seller to Purchaser for no additional consideration without any further act on the part of any Party. No Delayed Liability shall be assumed by Purchaser until the corresponding Delayed Asset has been transferred or assigned to Purchaser, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 1.1(e).

b.Transaction Consideration; Escrows.

i.Consideration for Purchased Assets. The aggregate consideration (collectively, the “Transaction Consideration”) for the Purchased Assets acquired by Purchaser hereunder shall consist of (i) the Equity Interest, and (ii) the Seller Note. The “Equity Interest” shall mean 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock of Parent (“Class A Stock”).

ii.Holdbacks and Escrows.

1.A portion of the Equity Interest comprising 100,000 shares of Class A Stock (the “Indemnity Holdback Amount”) shall not be issued at Closing and instead shall be issued by Parent on the 12-month anniversary of the Closing, subject to any indemnity claims as provided in Article VI hereof or offsets pursuant to Section 1.4(c). Parent hereby covenants to cause an adequate number of shares of Class A Stock to be available for issuance to satisfy the Indemnity Holdback Amount.

2.[Intentionally Omitted].

3.With respect to the PPP 2 Loan, at the Closing, Seller shall deposit an aggregate of $2,000,000 (the “PPP Escrow Amount”) into an escrow account (the “PPP Escrow Account”) under the terms of an escrow agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “PPP Escrow Agreement”) to be executed as of the Closing Date by Seller and the PPP Escrow Agent. As further described in the PPP Escrow Agreement, (1) in the event the PPP 2 Loan is forgiven in full, the PPP Escrow Amount will be promptly distributed to Seller, and (2) in the event all or a portion of the PPP 2 Loan is not forgiven, Seller shall promptly cause funds from the PPP Escrow Account to be released to the PPP Lender to satisfy the repayment of such unforgiven amount.

4.With respect to the PPP 2 Loan, promptly (and in any event within three (3) days) following the earlier of the receipt by Seller of (1) the final, binding approval of forgiveness by the SBA of all or a portion of the Liabilities, obligations, and Indebtedness under the PPP 2 Loan, or (2) a final, binding determination by the PPP 2 Lender or the SBA, as applicable, that Seller is not entitled to all or any portion of forgiveness of any such Liabilities, obligations, and Indebtedness under the PPP 2 Loan (such determination made by the SBA, a “PPP Determination”), Seller shall provide Purchaser written notice of such PPP Determination. Following receipt of a PPP Determination with respect to the PPP 2 Loan, Seller will promptly take any actions reasonably requested by Purchaser, including delivering written instructions to the PPP Escrow Agent directing the release of funds, to cause the PPP Escrow Agent to release (x) to the PPP Lender funds in an amount sufficient to repay any unforgiven amount of the PPP 2 Loan in full and (y) to the Seller, the remaining funds held pursuant to the PPP Escrow Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the burden of seeking forgiveness of the PPP 2 Loan shall be solely the responsibility of Seller. Following Closing, Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of, and provide Purchaser with all documentation and correspondence with respect to, all material activity concerning forgiveness of the PPP 2 Loan.

c.Closing Date Payments and Issuances.

i.Prior to the Closing Date, Seller has prepared and delivered to Purchaser a good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital as of May 31, 2021 (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), which statement quantifies in reasonable detail the estimates of each item included in such calculation, in each case calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and utilizing the line items and methodology set forth on Section 1.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedule.

ii.On the Closing Date, Purchaser or Parent, as applicable, shall:

1.issue the Equity Interest minus the Indemnity Holdback Amount to Seller in book entry form and bearing customary legends noting that such securities constitute restricted securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act”);

2.[Intentionally Omitted]; and

3.deliver to Seller the deliverables set forth in Section 5.3;

iii.On the Closing Date, Seller shall:

1.retain the Excluded Working Capital Assets, minus the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the Target Net Working Capital, plus the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than the Target Net Working Capital;

2.pay the amount of all Indebtedness (other than the PPP 2 Loan) as provided in the Payoff Letters;

3.pay the Seller Transaction Expenses, Change of Control Payments (net of any applicable withholdings for income and employment Taxes) and Transaction Payroll Taxes;

4.[Intentionally Omitted];

5.deliver $2,000,000 to the PPP Escrow Agent, to be held subject to the terms of the PPP Escrow Agreement; and

6.deliver to Purchaser the deliverables set forth in Section 5.2.

d.Net Working Capital Adjustment.

i.Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) calculating the Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Closing Net Working Capital”) as well as the adjustments to Included Working Capital Assets which shall be made consistent with the methodology set forth on Section 1.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedule and pursuant to this Section 1.4, together with all underlying documentation supporting such calculations. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in its preparation of the Closing Statement.

ii.If Seller disputes any amounts as shown on the Closing Statement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Statement a notice (the “Dispute Notice”)

setting forth Seller’s calculation of Closing Net Working Capital and describing in reasonable detail the basis (including for each component, the difference and the amount thereof and reasons therefor) for the determination of such different amount. If Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Purchaser within such thirty (30) day period, the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) prepared and delivered by Purchaser shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and the Final Closing Net Working Capital. Any such disputes shall be limited to assertions that the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) was not calculated in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.4. Any component not disputed in the Dispute Notice shall be treated as final and binding. Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such differences within a period of thirty (30) days after Seller has given the Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and Seller resolve such differences, the Closing Statement and Closing Net Working Capital agreed to by Purchaser and Seller shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and Final Closing Net Working Capital. If Purchaser and Seller do not reach a final resolution on the Closing Statement and Closing Net Working Capital within thirty (30) days after Seller has delivered the Dispute Notice, unless Purchaser and Seller mutually agree to continue their efforts to resolve such differences, the Neutral Accountant shall resolve such differences with respect to the adjustment under this Section 1.4 pursuant to an engagement agreement among Purchaser, Seller, and the Neutral Accountant (which Purchaser and Seller agree to execute promptly), in the manner provided below. The Neutral Accountant shall have full authority to decide all of the issues or matters relating to the adjustments under this Section 1.4 (it being understood that in making such determination, the Neutral Accountant shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), but shall only decide the specific components under dispute in the Dispute Notice, strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller shall each be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral Accountant at which the other shall be entitled to be present and participate, pursuant to procedures to be agreed to among Purchaser, Seller, and the Neutral Accountant (or, if they cannot agree on such procedures, pursuant to procedures determined by the Neutral Accountant), regarding such Party’s determination of the amounts to be set forth on the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein); and Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Neutral Accountant to resolve the differences between them and determine the amounts to be set forth on the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) within twenty (20) days after the engagement of the Neutral Accountant. Each of Purchaser and Seller, as a condition precedent to making a presentation to the Neutral Accountant and having the Neutral Accountant review its calculations, shall provide reasonable advance access to the other Party with respect to such materials and reasonably cooperate with the other Party in its review and analysis thereof. The Neutral Accountant’s determination shall be based solely on such presentations of Purchaser and Seller (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions and other terms included in this Agreement. The Closing Statement (and determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and Final Closing Net Working Capital. Such determination by the Neutral Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error. The fees, costs and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be allocated to and borne by Purchaser and Seller based on the inverse of the percentage that the Neutral Accountant’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Neutral Accountant. Nothing in this Section 1.4(b) shall be construed to authorize or permit the Neutral Accountant to: (i) determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement, except for the resolution of differences between Purchaser and Seller regarding the determination of the Final Closing Statement (and Final Closing Net Working Capital calculation therein), it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Neutral Accountant shall have authority to resolve only matters of an accounting nature and shall not have authority to resolve any disputes of a legal nature (with any dispute as to whether a matter is of an accounting or legal nature to be resolved by the Neutral Accountant); or (ii) resolve any such differences

Each Owner further acknowledges and agrees that the Business currently operates and is reasonably expected to operate within the Territory.

xxxix

Accordingly, each Owner agrees to the covenants set forth in this Section 4.6 and acknowledges that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement but for such Owner’s agreement to the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.6.

ii.For a period of four (4) years from and after the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), each Owner and Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, own, operate, lease, manage, control, engage in, invest in, lend to, own any debt or equity security or interest of, permit his name to be used by, act as a director, manager, partner, consultant, or advisor to, render services for or to (alone or in association with any Person, including any family member of such Owner), or otherwise participate or assist any Person other than Purchaser in any manner in any business that is engaged in the Business anywhere in the Territory (including any business selling the same or similar products or services); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.6 shall prohibit such Owner from holding (i) the Equity Interest, or (ii) a passive beneficial ownership interest of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding publicly traded equity securities of any entity; and provided, further, that (i) Seller and each Owner shall be permitted to engage in Permitted XConnect Activities and (ii) an Owner shall be permitted to engage in the Business to the extent that it or an Affiliate has foreclosed on the collateral which secures the Seller Note.

iii.During the Restricted Period, Seller and each Owner shall not, directly or indirectly, and shall cause his Affiliates not to, anywhere in the Territory: (i) hire, engage, or solicit (or attempt any of the foregoing) for employment (or engagement as a consultant) any person who (A) was a Transferred Employee or (B) is or was employed (or engaged as a consultant) by Purchaser or by its Affiliates (in connection with the Business), or encourage or induce or attempt to encourage or induce any such employee or consultant to leave such employment or engagement; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to (x) generalized searches for employees through media advertisements of general circulation, employment search firms, open job fairs or other similar means which are not specifically targeted at such employees or (y) employees who leave the employment of Purchaser or its Affiliates, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, provided that such cessation of employment was not the result of any encouragement by such Owner or any solicitation otherwise prohibited hereby; (ii) encourage or induce or attempt to encourage or induce any Person who is or was within one (1) year prior to Closing a customer, supplier, vendor, licensee, licensor, franchisee, or other business relation of any of Seller, Purchaser, or Purchaser’s Affiliates (collectively, the “Company Parties”) to cease doing business or modify the way it does business with Purchaser or its Affiliates, or in any way interfere with or otherwise affect the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, or business relation and Purchaser or its Affiliates; or (iii) solicit any Company Party for a business competitive with the Business in the Territory (including any business selling the same products or services or products and services functionally equivalent to those sold by Seller); provided, however, that the XConnect Business, as currently conducted and proposed to be conducted following the Closing, shall not be deemed to constitute a competitive business for purposes of this Agreement.

iv.Seller and each Owner acknowledges that the covenants contained herein are in addition to those set forth in any other agreement Seller or such Owner may enter into with Purchaser and/or its Affiliates and nothing herein is intended to or shall limit the covenants contained therein or vice versa.

v.The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Purchaser and each of its Affiliates, successors, and assigns would suffer irreparable harm from a Breach of Section 4.4 or this Section 4.6 and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such Breach. Therefore, in the event a

Breach or threatened Breach of Section 4.4 or this Section 4.6, Purchaser and its successors and assigns, in addition to other rights and remedies available at Law or in equity, shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive, and other equitable relief in order to enforce or prevent any Breach of the provisions of this Agreement. The restrictive covenants set forth in Section 4.4 or this Section 4.6 shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of any Party against Purchaser, whether predicated upon this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Purchaser of any restrictive covenant contained in Section 4.4 or this Section 4.6. Purchaser has fully performed all obligations entitling it to the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 4.4 or this Section 4.6, and such restrictive covenants therefore are not executory or otherwise subject to rejection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code.

vi.If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares any term or provision of Section 4.4 or this Section 4.6 to be invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified to cover the maximum duration, scope or area permitted by Law. In addition, in the event of an alleged Breach by any Party of Section 4.4 or this Section 4.6, the Restricted Period shall be tolled with respect to such Party until such Breach has been duly cured.

iv.Seller and its ERISA Affiliates shall retain and perform all obligations under Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”), including COBRA stimulus rules, with respect to all employees of the Business and their covered dependents on the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless for any and all costs, Liabilities, and expenses with respect to M&A Qualified Beneficiaries (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 54.4980B-9) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and arising under Part 6 of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code.

v.Nothing contained herein shall (i) be construed to restrict in any way the ability of Purchaser to (A) amend, terminate or modify the duties, responsibilities or employment of any employee or independent contractor, including any Transferred Employee, or (B) to amend, terminated or modify any employee benefit plan or program maintained by Purchaser, (ii) be treated as an amendment or other modification of any compensation or benefit arrangement of Purchaser, or (iii) be construed to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Business Employee, Transferred Employee, service provider, independent contractor, consultant or any other Person, whether in respect of continued service or resumed service, compensation, benefits or otherwise.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, to the extent (and only to the extent) of benefit and not of burden to Purchaser, and to the extent assignable, all non-competition, non-solicitation and restrictive covenant agreements and arrangements, and all invention assignments and work made for hire provisions regarding Seller arising by operation of Law or contract (including pursuant to any Governing Document) with respect to the relationship between Seller, the Owners and any of the Seller’s current or former members, shareholders, employees or independent contractors, in each case relating to the Business, are hereby assigned, effective as of the Closing, by Seller to Purchaser, in accordance with, and to the extent specified in, Article I, and shall be enforced in accordance with their respective terms (including governing law). To the extent that any such non-competition, non-solicitation or restrictive covenant agreements and arrangements and any such invention assignments and work made for hire provisions are not assignable, Seller shall: (a) use commercially reasonable efforts at the Purchaser’s expense to enforce such agreements or provisions on behalf of Purchaser or otherwise assign to Purchaser its “chose in

xlii

action” related to such agreements or provisions; (b) not enforce any of same without the prior written consent of Purchaser; and (c) waive the application of such agreements or provisions as they may apply to any Transferred Employee’s employment with or engagement by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all calculations of Net Working Capital shall be net of cash received from insurers after the date of this Agreement with respect to assets.

m.Registration Statement; Rule 144.

i.Parent (i) shall prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC in accordance with and pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Resale Shelf”) to permit the public resale of the Equity Interest by Seller no later than 90 calendar days following the Closing Date (subject to Seller timely providing the Required Information), (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable, and (iii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Resale Shelf to remain effective thereafter until the earlier of the date on which there are no longer any Registrable Securities and a period of three years following the date which such Resale Shelf was declared effective by the SEC (the “Required Effective Period”). Seller and shall complete, execute, acknowledge and deliver such questionnaires and other documents, certificates and instruments as may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the filing of the Resale Shelf (the “Required Information”).

ii.Notwithstanding Section 4.13(a):

1.If the Resale Shelf has been filed but not declared effective by the SEC, Parent shall not be required to request effectiveness of such Resale Shelf, or, if such Resale Shelf has been declared effective by the SEC, may suspend the use of any prospectus that is part of the Resale Shelf, for up to ninety (90) days from the date of the Suspension Notice (as hereinafter defined), by providing written notice to the applicable Holders if Parent shall have furnished to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer (or other authorized officer) of Parent stating that Parent’s Board of Directors has determined in its reasonable good faith judgment that the request for effectiveness of such Resale Shelf should be delayed or the offer or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf should be suspended (as applicable); provided that Parent may not invoke a delay or suspension pursuant to this Section 4.13(b)(i) for more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any 12-month period. Parent may invoke this Section 4.13(b)(i) only if Parent’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its advisors or legal counsel, that the request for effectiveness of the Resale Shelf or offer or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf (as applicable) would reasonably be expected to: (i) have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by Parent or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction involving Parent or any of its subsidiaries; or (ii) require premature disclosure of material non-public information (“MNPI”) that Parent has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; provided that a Suspension Event (as

xliii

hereinafter defined) shall automatically expire upon the public disclosure of the information to which the MNPI relates.

2.In the case of an event that causes Parent to delay the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf, or suspend the use of any prospectus that is part of the Resale Shelf, as set forth in Section 4.13(b)(i) (a “Suspension Event”), Parent shall give a notice to the applicable Holders (a “Suspension Notice”) of such delay or suspension and such notice shall state that such delay or suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. Parent shall not include any MNPI in the Suspension Notice or otherwise provide such information to Holders unless specifically requested in writing. No Holder shall sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from Parent and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. Holders may recommence sales pursuant to the Resale Shelf following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from Parent, and such End of Suspension Notice shall be given by Parent to the applicable Holders promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event.

3.Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if Parent gives a Suspension Notice with respect to the Resale Shelf, Parent agrees that it shall:

a.extend the Required Effective Period, which such Resale Shelf shall be maintained effective by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the selling Holders named in the Resale Shelf of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the selling Holders of the End of Suspension Notice;

b.as promptly as practicable after selling Holders’ receipt of an End of Suspension Notice, prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to the registration statement or the prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

c.provide copies of any supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event;

provided that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that there are no longer Registrable Securities covered by such Resale Shelf.

4.With a view to making available to Seller the benefits of Rule 144 and Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and other rules and regulations of the SEC that may at any time permit Seller to sell Class A Stock to the public without registration, Parent covenants that it will (i) for as long as the Class A Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b), Section 12(g) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, use its commercially reasonable efforts to file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required, if any, to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder, (ii) if it is not required to file such reports, make available information necessary to comply with Rule 144 and Rule 144A, if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, at all times, and (iii) so long as Seller owns any shares issued pursuant to this

xliv

Agreement that are characterized as “restricted securities” under federal securities laws, furnish upon the reasonable request of Seller, to the extent accurate, a written statement of Parent that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

5.In connection with any sale or transfer of Registrable Securities by any Holder, including any sale or transfer pursuant to Rule 144 and Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and other rules and regulations of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell Class A Stock to the public without registration, Parent shall, to the extent allowed by law and requested by a Holder, (i) issue such directions to any transfer agent, registrar or depositary, as applicable, (ii) deliver such opinions to the transfer agent, registrar or depositary as are customary for the transaction of this type and are reasonably requested by the same, and (iii) take or cause to be taken such other actions as are reasonably necessary (in each case on a timely basis) in order to cause any legends, notations or similar designations restricting transferability of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder to be removed; provided, however, that such Holder shall deliver to Parent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, representation letters regarding such Holder’s compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A, as may be applicable.

iii.All Registration Expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with the obligations under Section 4.13 or otherwise in connection with filing of the Resale Shelf (in each case, excluding any Seller Expenses) shall be borne by Parent, whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Resale Shelf.

iv.Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers and directors and any agent thereof (collectively, “Holder Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Resale Shelf under which any Registrable Securities were registered, or arising out of, based upon or resulting from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, or included in any preliminary prospectus (if Parent authorized the use of such preliminary prospectus prior to the effective date of the Resale Shelf), any summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus (if such free writing prospectus was authorized for use by Parent) or in any amendment or supplement thereto (if used during the period Parent is required to keep the Resale Shelf current), or arising out of, based upon or resulting from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Parent shall not be liable to any Holder Indemnified Person to the extent that any such claim arises out of, is based upon or results from an untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Resale Shelf, such preliminary, summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Parent by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Person specifically for use in the preparation thereof. Parent shall notify the Seller promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding of which Parent is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability Parent may otherwise have and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Person or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.

v.Seller shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless Parent, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and any agent thereof, to the fullest extent permitted by

xlv

applicable law, from and against any and all Losses as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Resale Shelf, or arising out of, based upon or resulting from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, or in any preliminary prospectus (if used prior to the effective date of such Resale Shelf), any summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (if used during the period Parent is required to keep the Resale Shelf current), or arising out of, based upon or resulting from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that the same are made in reliance and in conformity with information relating to Seller furnished in writing to Parent by Seller for use therein. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability Seller may otherwise have and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Seller or any indemnified party. In no event shall the liability of Seller hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by Seller from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

n.Tax Clearance Certificates. Immediately following the Closing, Seller shall request Tax clearance certificates from each jurisdiction that imposes Taxes on Seller or where Seller has a duty to file Tax Returns (except for Wyoming and Oklahoma). Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such certificates and deliver them to Purchaser within sixty (60) days following the Closing.

o.Limitation on Sale of Equity Interest. Seller (or any of its Affiliates who take title to all or any portion of the Equity Interest, including, but not limited to, Chief Investments, LLC, as administrative agent), prior to selling shares of Class A Stock on the open market in an amount in excess of the average daily trading volume of Parent (measured over the 30 trading days prior to the date of determination), must use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange with Parent for the sale of such shares of Class A Stock through a broker with the goal of trying to arrange a block trade within the following one week period.

i.any misrepresentation, inaccuracy, or Breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents;

For sake of clarity, Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware that Seller is engaged in litigation with DynaEnergetics US Inc. and Affiliates. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the other Purchaser Indemnitees, acknowledges that the indemnification obligations under this Section 6.1 shall not extend to any claim which DynaEnergetics US Inc. may assert against any Purchaser Indemnitees arising from (i) the decision of the Purchaser to enter into or consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any Transaction Document or (ii) any alteration of the business relationship between the Purchaser and its Affiliates and DynaEnergetics US Inc. and its Affiliates.

b.Indemnity Obligations of Purchaser. Purchaser covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, advisers, and representatives and the respective successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against, and to pay or reimburse Seller Indemnitees for, any and all Losses, directly or indirectly based on, resulting from, arising out of, in connection with, or relating to:

c.Indemnification Procedures.

i.Third Party Claims.

1.In the case of any claim asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) against a party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought. If the Indemnifying Party provides a written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after its receipt of notice of such claim that it will indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from all Losses related to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim or any Legal Proceeding with a third party resulting therefrom; provided, however, that: (A) the counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be subject to

xlix

the approval of the Indemnified Party; (B) the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense (such expense to be borne by the Indemnified Party only at such times during which the Indemnifying Party has properly assumed and maintained such defense); and (C) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the failure by any Indemnified Party to give notice of a Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party as provided in this Agreement shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement (or affect such indemnification obligations), except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure to give notice, the defense against such claim is materially impaired.

2.Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party shall consent or agree to any settlement or entry of any judgment or Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any Third Party Claim, shall consent or agree to any settlement or entry of any judgment or Order or enter into any settlement that: (A) includes a finding or admission of any Breach of Law or the rights of any Person; (B) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party and its Affiliates of a general release (without payment by, or cost or expense to, or adverse impact upon, the Indemnified Party) from any and all liability directly or indirectly relating to such Third Party Claim; or (C) that does not provide for the Indemnifying Party to fully pay and discharge all Liabilities directly or indirectly relating to the applicable Third Party Claims.

3.Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense against a Third Party Claim if: (A) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation, or investigation; (B) the claim seeks an injunction, specific performance, or any other equitable or non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party; (C) the party bringing the claim is a customer or supplier of the Indemnified Party or the claims principally relate to environmental or regulatory matters; (D) the Indemnifying Party fails to reasonably prosecute or defend such claim; or (E) the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged in writing its unconditional obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all Liabilities and Losses relating to such Third Party Claim.

4.If the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of a Third Party Claim within ten (10) days after receipt of the written notice thereof from the Indemnified Party described above (or if the Indemnifying Party or claim fails to at all times meet all of the requirements set forth above), the Indemnified Party shall have the full right to defend against any such claim or demand. 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 as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may 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. In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to accept any settlement offer made by the opposing party or its counsel with respect to any Third Party Claim, any such amounts ultimately payable with respect thereto in excess of such settlement offer (including settlement and defense costs and judgments) shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party without regard to any limitations. The parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to applicable confidentiality provisions in this Agreement) 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.

ii.Non-Third Party Claims. With respect to any claim for indemnification hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such claim. The Indemnifying Party may acknowledge and agree by notice to the Indemnified Party in writing to satisfy such claim within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall dispute such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice of such dispute to the Indemnified Party within such ten (10) day period. If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to provide written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party either acknowledges and agrees to pay such claim or disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to pay such claim in full and to have waived any right to dispute such claim, and shall promptly pay such claim in full. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice as required pursuant to this Section 6.3(b) shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, except and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have actually been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

d.Expiration of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that: (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.14 and Section 2.18 shall survive the Closing for the period ending on the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period; and (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1, Section 2.2, Section 2.4, Section 2.9, Section 2.26, Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.4 and Section 3.5, shall survive indefinitely (each of the sections referred to in (a) and (b), a “Transactional Rep”). All covenants and agreements shall survive the Closing indefinitely or until fully performed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all claims (and matters relating thereto) made prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and shall survive until finally resolved.

e.Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 shall be subject to the following limitations:

i.Upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 6.1(a) (except for Breaches of any Transactional Rep or Fraud) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification exceeds the Basket, in which event, Seller shall be required to pay or be liable for all Losses in excess of the Basket. As used herein, the “Basket” shall mean (i) an aggregate of $75,000 per item of equipment for claims relating to a breach of the representations under Section 2.11(d)(i) and (ii) an additional aggregate of $75,000 for claims relating to a breach of the other representations under Article II and Article III, as applicable.

ii.Upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, the sole recourse of the Purchaser Indemnitees in respect of Losses under Section 6.1(a) (except for Breaches of any Transactional Rep or Fraud, for which Losses shall not be so limited) shall be limited to the Indemnity Holdback Amount.

iii.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the limitations set forth in Section 6.5(a) and Section 6.5(b) shall not limit the Liability of any Indemnifying Party (i) for

Breaches of any Transactional Reps or Fraud or (ii) with respect to the items set forth in Section 6.1(b) through Section 6.1(g).

iv.From and after the Closing, each Party’s sole remedy for monetary damages for Breach of this Agreement shall be pursuant to this Article VI, except in the case of Fraud.

x.Xx party shall be liable or entitled to make a claim for any Losses in respect of any punitive or exemplary damages, except to the extent such damages are paid or payable pursuant to a Third-Party Claim or are based on Fraud.

f.Indemnification Payments by Seller; Right of Set-Off.

i.With respect to Losses suffered or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee for which any Purchaser Indemnitee has a right to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1(a), Purchaser, subject to the limitations of Section 6.5, shall offset such Losses from the Indemnity Holdback Amount in accordance with Section 6.6(b); provided, that in the event that the Indemnity Holdback Amount has been fully offset or the Indemnity Holdback Amount has been issued to Seller (or its applicable Affiliates), Seller shall indemnify such Purchaser Indemnitee to the extent of such Loss.

ii.With respect to any indemnification payable by Seller under this Article VI or any amounts payable by Seller under Section 1.2(b)(ii) or under Section 1.4(c) that is paid by an offset of the Indemnity Holdback Amount, the number of shares of Class A Stock to be retained by Parent and not issued to Seller in respect thereof shall be determined by dividing (i) the amount of the Losses or amount due under Section 1.2(b)(ii) or under Section 1.4(c), by (ii) the sum of the daily dollar volume-weighted averages of the trading prices of Class A Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (as reported by Bloomberg L.P. or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually selected by the parties) on each of the thirty (30) consecutive days on which shares of Class A Stock are traded on the NYSE for a full trading day ending on (and including) the trading day that is one trading day prior to the date any Class A Stock is to be delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this pursuant to this Article VI. In the event of a dispute between Purchaser and Seller regarding whether amounts are due to Purchaser from Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(ii), Section 1.4(c) or Article VI, Purchaser shall promptly issue the number of Class A Shares that would be retained by Parent as provided above into an escrow account with a mutually agreed escrow agent, and such Class A Shares shall remain in such escrow account until the dispute is resolved in accordance with the terms hereof.

g.Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Transaction Consideration to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

h.Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge or Waiver. The right to indemnification, payment of Losses or other remedy based upon misrepresentation, inaccuracy, or Breach of representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, or obligations (and the right to rely on such representations, warranties covenants, agreements, and obligations for all purposes including measuring Losses) will not be affected by: (a) the alleged or proven sole, concurrent, contributory, or comparative negligence or the alleged or proven sole or concurrent strict liability of Purchaser; or (b) any other act or omission of Purchaser or any investigation conducted or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or obligation or otherwise (including any past, present, or future Law). The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any

lii

representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant, agreement, or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Losses or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the settlement of any amount under Section 1.4 shall not preclude or diminish a claim under this Article VI, except to the extent that the same would constitute a duplicative recovery.

i.Additional Indemnification Matters. In determining the existence of, and amount of any Losses in connection with a claim under Section 6.1(a), or Section 6.2(a) all representations and warranties shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any materiality or Material Adverse Change or similar qualification contained therein (as if such qualification were deleted from such representation or warranty).

c.Governing Law. This Agreement and all matters arising out of this Agreement (including any arbitral dispute) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State

lxiv

of Texas (without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the state of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas).

d.Arbitration. Except for matters relating to Section 1.4 or any proceedings to enforce the obligations under the Seller Note or Security Agreement, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement, shall be determined by arbitration subject to the following provisions:

(a)Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with JAMS, Inc. then applicable JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures rules.

(b)Selection of Arbitrator. Within seven days of the service of the notice of arbitration, the parties shall mutually agree upon a single arbitrator. If at the conclusion of those seven days, the parties have not agreed upon a single arbitrator, the parties shall petition the organization administering the arbitration to provide a list of five qualified arbitrators with experience presiding over claims substantially similar to those pled in the notice of arbitration. Within five days of receiving the list of qualified arbitrators, each party shall submit to the administering organization a numerical ranking of their preference as between these five arbitrators. The highest mutually ranked arbitrator shall preside over the parties’ dispute.

(c)Venue. The arbitration shall take place in a neutral location in Houston, Texas.

(d)Duration. A hearing shall be held within 90 days of the filing of the notice of arbitration. Such hearing shall last no more than three business days. Within 14 days of the conclusion of the hearing, the arbitrator shall issue a brief, but reasoned award.

(e)Pleading. To instate an arbitration under this paragraph, a notice of arbitration must be filed and personally served upon the opposing party. This notice shall contain a short and plain statement of the claim(s) for relief sought. In response, the responding party may assert a counterclaim but must file an answer to the notice of arbitration admitting or denying all facts and allegations contained therein and asserting any affirmative defenses.

(f)Discovery. Within 45 days of service of the notice of arbitration, the parties shall mutually exchange all documents which they reasonably believe are relevant to any claim or defense in the action, regardless of whether such documents are helpful or hurtful to the producing party’s case. No document requests, interrogatories, or requests to admission shall be permitted. Each party shall be entitled to take up to 10 hours of deposition discovery.

(g)Sanctions. Upon motion or at the arbitrator’s discretion, discovery sanctions may be awarded in an amount up to the amount in controversy for failing to comply with the mandatory disclosure obligations or engaging in other dilatory or unethical practices.

(h)Costs. The prevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator, may be awarded all reasonable costs and fees of the arbitration including, without limitation, the arbitrator’s fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees, at the sole discretion of the arbitrator.

lxv

(i)Confidentiality. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration.

(j)Confirmation. An award issued by the arbitrator pursuant to this arbitration agreement may be confirmed in any U.S. district court with the jurisdiction to confirm and enter judgment on the arbitration award.

e.Jurisdiction; Exclusive Venue. The parties agree that if arbitration is unavailable, then, except for matters relating to Section 1.4 of this Agreement, any such legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be exclusively instituted in the federal courts of the U.S. and if (and only if) such courts do not have, or decline to exercise jurisdiction (it being acknowledged and agreed that no party hereto shall contest such jurisdiction), the courts of the State of Texas, in each case, located in Xxxxxx County, 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 in accordance with Section 7.8 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 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.

f.Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto) represents the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, including that certain Letter of Intent, dated as of September 25, 2020, between Purchaser and Seller. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented, or changed, and any provision of this Agreement can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement (i) signed by Purchaser, in the case of an amendment, supplement, modification, or waiver sought to be enforced against Purchaser, or (ii) by the applicable Owner or Seller, in the case of an amendment, supplement, modification, or waiver sought to be enforced against any or all of Seller or the applicable Owner. The waiver by any Party of a Breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such Breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent Breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power, or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents, the terms hereof shall control.

g.Section Headings. The section headings of this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are to be given no effect in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

h.Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) when delivered personally by hand to the recipient, (ii) upon confirmation of receipt when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of transmission), (iii) if the sender does not receive a message indicating that the intended recipient has not received such email, when sent by email (in the text of the email or as a pdf), or (iv) upon confirmation of delivery when sent by express courier (or the following Business Day if not delivered on a Business Day), in each case at the following addresses, email addresses and facsimile numbers (or to such other address,

lxvi

email address or facsimile number as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

With a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to:			Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx 0000 Xxxx Xxx., Xxxxx 0000 Xxxxxx, XX 00000 Xxxxxxxxx: Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Email: xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx
If to Purchaser and/or Parent, to:			Ranger Energy Services, Xxx. 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000 Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 Attention: Xxxxxxx Blossman Email: xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx
With a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to:			Winston & Xxxxxx, LLP 0000 X. Xxxxx Xx., Xxxxx 000 Xxxxxx, XX 00000 Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Email: xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx

i.Severability. If any 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 hereof or invalidate or make illegal or unenforceable any such term in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, except as provided in this Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

j.Binding Effect; Assignment; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no party may assign its rights and/or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller and Purchaser, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement, in whole or in part, in connection with any disposition or transfer of substantially all of Purchaser’s business in any form of transaction without the consent of any of the other Parties. In addition, Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights pursuant to this Agreement to any lender to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates as collateral security without the consent of any of the other Parties or to any Affiliate. Finally, Purchaser may assign its rights to purchase certain of the Purchased Assets to its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Except as provided in Article VI with respect to Persons entitled to indemnification thereunder, nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person.

k.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, portable

lxvii

document format, or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

l.Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no remedy in this Agreement conferred upon a Party hereto is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy. No single or partial exercise by a Party hereto of any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof.

m.Exhibits and Schedules. The exhibits and schedules referred to in this Agreement are attached hereto and incorporated in this Agreement by this reference. The disclosure schedule delivered in connection with the execution of this Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedule”) shall be arranged to correspond to the specific sections and subsections of this Agreement. The disclosures in each section of the Disclosure Schedule relate only to the representations and warranties in the corresponding section of this Agreement and not to any other representation or warranty in this Agreement unless and to the extent that such disclosure identifies an exception to another section of this Agreement with reasonable particularity so that such exception to such other representation or warranty is readily apparent on its face. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule will be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement, unless the Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with particularity and describes the relevant facts in detail. The mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item in the Disclosure Schedule will not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained in this Agreement will have independent significance. If any Party has Breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not Breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in Breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

n.Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an article, section, paragraph, clause, schedule, or exhibit, such reference shall be deemed to be to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes,” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” As used in this Agreement, words in the singular will be held to include the plural and vice versa (unless the context otherwise requires), words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender (or the neuter) as the context requires, and the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “herewith” and words of similar import will, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References to any agreement, instrument, or document shall mean such agreement, document or instrument as amended, modified, or supplemented as permitted thereunder from time to time. A reference to a party shall include its predecessors, successors, and permitted assigns. The phrases “delivered” or “made available” shall mean that the information referred to has been physically or electronically delivered to the relevant parties, including information posted to the electronic data site hosted by xxx.xxx and established by Seller for the purpose of providing due diligence materials and information to Purchaser and its agents, employees, and advisors; provided all of such electronically delivered information shall not be deemed to be “made available” or “delivered”.

o.Construction. The Parties agree and acknowledge that they have jointly participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event of an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumptions or burdens of proof shall arise favoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or Law shall be

lxviii

deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise, all as amended or agreed from time to time.

p.Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed by any of the Parties in accordance with the specific terms hereof or were otherwise Breached by Seller. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled, to an injunction or other equitable relief to prevent Breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance, and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on any basis, including that another Party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

q.Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

r.Time of Essence. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, with regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.
