AGREEMENT

ARTICLE I.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PURCHASED UNITS

Section 1.01. Purchased Units. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept from each Seller, and each Seller, respectively, shall sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Purchaser, all right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Units held by such Seller, free and clear of all Encumbrances other than any restrictions on transfer that may be imposed under federal and state securities Laws. The Seller Parties waive compliance with any existing transfer restrictions set forth in the Governing Documents of the Company applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 1.02. Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration to be paid by Purchaser to Sellers for the Purchased Units, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.05 (the “Purchase Price”), shall be:

(a) Four Hundred Eighty-Nine Million, Six Hundred Forty-Eight Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($489,648,000.00) (the “Base Amount”);

(b) plus, the Closing Date Cash;

(c) plus or minus, as the case may be, the amount by which the Closing Date Working Capital is greater than or less than the Target Working Capital;

(d) minus, the Closing Date Debt;

(e) minus, the Closing Date Transaction Expenses.

Section 1.03. Payment of the Purchase Price. At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay the Estimated Closing Amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, as follows:

(b) an amount equal to the portion of the Estimated Closing Date Transaction Expenses owed to any Person specified in the Payment Spreadsheet to whom Transaction Expenses described in clause (i) of the definition thereof are owed shall be paid to the account designated in the Payment Spreadsheet (other than Transaction Expenses that are payable to any employee of the Company Group, which shall be delivered to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries for payroll or other applicable payment processing by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the applicable arrangements to such Person);

(d) the Administrative Expense Amount shall be deposited into the Administrative Expense Account for use by the Sellers’ Representative for the purposes described in Section 12.02; and

(e) the remainder of the Estimated Closing Amount shall be paid to Sellers in accordance with the Payment Spreadsheet to the respective accounts designated in the Payment Spreadsheet.

Section 1.04. Escrow. At the Closing, Purchaser shall deposit or cause to be deposited on behalf of Sellers Seven Million and No/100 Dollars ($7,000,000.00) (the “Working Capital Escrow Amount”) with the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds for purposes of satisfying any obligations of Sellers pursuant to Section 1.05(h). The Working Capital Escrow Amount and all earnings thereon shall be held, invested and disbursed as specified in and pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Escrow Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Escrow Agreement”), and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 1.05(g), Section 1.05(h) and Section 1.05(i).

Section 1.05. Adjustments to Purchase Price.

(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representative shall cause the Company to deliver to Purchaser (i) the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet, (ii) a statement (the “Seller Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail (x) the Company’s good faith estimates of (A) the Closing Date Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Date Working Capital”), (B) the Closing Date Cash (the “Estimated Closing Date Cash”), (C) the Closing Date Debt (the “Estimated Closing Date Debt”), (D) the Closing Date Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Closing Date Transaction Expenses”) and (y) a calculation of the Estimated Closing Amount and (iii) the Payment Spreadsheet (together with reasonably detailed supporting calculations, in each case, determined in accordance with the Accounting Methodologies). The Sellers’ Representative shall consider in good faith any comments provided by Purchaser with respect to the Seller Closing Statement that are consistent with the Accounting Methodologies, and if the Sellers’ Representative accepts any such comments, it shall cause the Company to deliver to Purchaser an updated version of the Seller Closing Statement, which updated version shall replace the prior version for all purposes hereunder, provided that if the Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser are not able to reach a mutual agreement prior to the Closing Date, the Seller Closing Statement provided by the Sellers’ Representative to Purchaser, as may be modified to include any changes agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser, shall be the Seller Closing Statement for all purposes hereunder; provided further, that the Closing shall not be delayed in respect of any such comments proposed by Purchaser and in no event shall the proposal of such comments or the delivery of such Seller Closing Statement be deemed to constitute the agreement of Purchaser as to any of the estimated amounts set forth in such Seller Closing Statement, and in no way shall the delivery of the Seller Closing Statement or the consummation of the Closing be construed as a waiver by Purchaser of any of its rights under Section 1.05. The Seller Parties shall, and shall cause the Company Group to, make their financial records, accounting personnel and advisors who participated in the preparation of the Seller Closing Statement available to Purchaser, its accountants and

other representatives at reasonable times during the review by Purchaser of the Seller Closing Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on the Sellers’ Representative calculation set forth in the Payment Spreadsheet with respect to each Seller set forth in the Seller Closing Statement, as setting forth a true, complete and accurate listing of all items set forth therein and a true, complete and accurate calculation of the amounts to which such Seller is entitled pursuant to the Governing Documents of the Company, as in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and in no event shall Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company Group) have any liability to any Seller or to any other Person for the calculation or allocation of any item or amount set forth on the Payment Spreadsheet.

(b) As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than ninety (90) calendar days thereafter, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company Group as of the Effective Time reflecting the consolidated financial position of the Company Group as of the close of the business on the Closing Date, which balance sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Methodologies, (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a statement (the “Purchaser Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s good faith calculations of (A) the Closing Date Working Capital (the “Purchaser Closing Date Working Capital Determination”); (B) the Closing Date Cash (the “Purchaser Closing Date Cash Determination”) (C) the Closing Date Debt (the “Purchaser Closing Date Debt Determination”); and (D) the Closing Date Transaction Expenses (the “Purchaser Closing Date Transaction Expenses Determination”); and (iii) the resulting proposed Adjustment Amount calculated based on the foregoing calculations (together with reasonably detailed supporting calculations, in each case, determined in accordance with this the Accounting Methodologies).

(c) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of the Purchaser Closing Statement, the Sellers’ Representative shall notify Purchaser in writing whether it accepts or disputes the accuracy of the items contained in the Purchaser Closing Statement. During such thirty (30) day period, the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives shall be provided with such reasonable access at reasonable times during normal business hours to files, records, relevant Personnel and accountants of the Purchaser and Company Group used in preparing the calculations in the Closing Date Balance Sheet and Purchaser Closing Statement as they may reasonably request to respond to the Purchaser Closing Statement, provided that the Sellers’ Representative and its representatives shall have entered into a customary confidentiality agreement and any customary access letters reasonably requested by Purchaser’s or the Company Group’s accounting advisors. If the Sellers’ Representative accepts the Purchaser Closing Statement or if the Sellers’ Representative fails within such thirty (30) day period to notify Purchaser of any dispute with respect thereto, (i) the Purchaser Closing Date Working Capital Determination shall be deemed the Final Closing Date Working Capital, (ii) the Purchaser Closing Date Cash Determination shall be deemed the Final Closing Date Cash, (iii) the Purchaser Closing Date Debt Determination shall be

deemed the Final Closing Date Debt; and (iv) the Purchaser Closing Date Transaction Expenses Determination shall be deemed the Final Closing Date Transaction Expenses.

(d) If the Sellers’ Representative disputes the accuracy of any items contained in the Purchaser Closing Statement, the Sellers’ Representative shall give written notice to Purchaser no later than thirty (30) calendar days following its receipt thereof (the “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the reasons for such disagreement and the specific proposed adjustments, including dollar amounts, if known. During the thirty (30) calendar day period following delivery of the Dispute Notice, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work together in good faith to resolve any such disagreements. During such thirty (30) day period, each of Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative and their respective Representatives shall be provided with such reasonable access at reasonable times to the files, records, relevant Personnel and accountants of the other party (and the Company Group) as it may reasonably request to negotiate and resolve the items set forth in the Dispute Notice provided that such party and its representatives shall have entered into a customary confidentiality agreement and any customary access letters reasonably requested by the other party’s accounting advisors. All such discussions and communications related thereto shall (unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule, and any resolution by them agreed to in writing as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive. If the parties resolve their differences over the disputed items in accordance with the foregoing procedure, the Final Closing Date Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash, the Final Closing Date Debt and the Final Closing Date Transaction Expenses and shall be the amounts agreed upon by them.

(e) If the Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser are unable to resolve any disputed matters, whether factual or legal, set forth in the Dispute Notice within such thirty (30) calendar day period, all unresolved disputed matters raised by the Sellers’ Representative in the Dispute Notice shall be submitted to Deloitte, or if Deloitte is unavailable or otherwise unable to serve in such role, then to an alternate independent certified public accounting firm of regional standing mutually and reasonably agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser (the “Independent Accountant”) for final resolution. The Independent Accountant shall act as an arbitrator, and not as an expert, to determine only those issues set forth in the Dispute Notice that are still in dispute, and the determination of the Independent Accountant shall either adopt the position of the Sellers’ Representative as set forth in the Dispute Notice or Purchaser as set forth in the Purchaser Closing Statement or result in an adjustment that is within the range of those respective positions. The Independent Accountant shall not consider positions submitted by Purchaser after delivery of the Purchaser Closing Statement or submitted by Sellers’ Representative after delivery of the Dispute Notice. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accountant shall (i) not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the least value for such item claimed by either party and (ii) consider only those items or amounts disputed by the Sellers’ Representative in the Dispute Notice which remain in dispute. If possible, the Independent Accountant shall make its determination based solely on presentations by the Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser and their respective Representatives; provided, that if the Independent

Accountant is unable to reach a conclusion on this basis, the Independent Accountant shall review such additional information and perform such additional procedures as the Independent Accountant reasonably deems necessary, but in no event shall any party engage in any ex parte communications with the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall be instructed that between the time the Sellers’ Representative delivered the Dispute Notice and the date on which any disputed item was submitted to the Independent Accountant, Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative and their respective representatives may have exchanged certain proposals relating to the disputed items that were intended solely for purposes of facilitating settlement discussions, and such proposals were confidential and were provided solely on the condition and understanding that such proposals would not be permitted to be disclosed in any court or arbitration hearing or in respect of the Independent Accountant’s engagement in the dispute, and the Independent Accountant will be instructed to disregard any evidence of such settlement proposals and negotiations in its consideration of the disputed items. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accountant shall be limited to the disputed line items submitted to the Independent Accountant by Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative and whether any disputed determinations of the Final Closing Date Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash, the Final Closing Date Debt and the Final Closing Date Transaction Expenses were properly calculated in accordance with the definitions in this Agreement and the Accounting Methodologies. The Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to make its determination as soon as possible, but in no event later than forty five (45) calendar days following the date on which the dispute is submitted. Such determination shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties (absent fraud or manifest error). The Independent Accountant’s resolution of any such disagreement shall be reflected in a written report, which shall be delivered promptly to the Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser. All fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by the party with whose determination the Independent Accountant does not agree, based on the aggregate amounts awarded by the Independent Accountant in accordance with the Sellers’ Representative’s position on disputed amounts and the aggregate amounts awarded by the Independent Accountant in accordance with Purchaser’s position on disputed amounts. If a retainer is required by the Independent Accountant, the retainer shall be split equally between Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative; provided, however, that the retainer shall be considered part of the fees and expenses of such Independent Accountant and if either party has paid a portion of such retainer, such party shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the other party to the extent required by this Section 1.05(e). If any matters are submitted to the Independent Accountant, the Final Closing Date Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash, the Final Closing Date Debt and/or the Final Closing Date Transaction Expenses, as applicable, shall be the amount(s) as determined by the Independent Accountant in accordance with this Section 1.05(e) (absent fraud or manifest error).

(f) The Estimated Closing Amount shall be (i) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Date Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital, or increased by the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Date Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital, (ii) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Date Cash is less than the Estimated Closing

Date Cash, or increased by the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Date Cash exceeds the Estimated Closing Date Cash, (iii) reduced by an amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Date Debt exceeds the Estimated Closing Date Debt, or increased by the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Date Debt is less than the Estimated Closing Date Debt, and (iv) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Date Transaction Expenses exceed the Estimated Closing Date Transaction Expenses, or increased by the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Date Transaction Expenses are less than the Estimated Closing Date Transaction Expenses. The net amount by which the Estimated Closing Amount is increased or decreased, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 1.05(f) shall be referred to herein as the “Adjustment Amount” (which may be a positive or a negative number).

(g) In the event that the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then (i) Purchaser shall, within five (5) calendar days after the determination thereof, pay to the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Adjustment Amount and (y) an amount equal to the Adjustment Cap by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative and (ii) Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to, within five (5) calendar days after the determination thereof, pay to the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, the Working Capital Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative.

(h) In the event that the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to, within five (5) calendar days after the determination thereof, (i) pay to Purchaser from the Working Capital Escrow Amount an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount (expressed as a positive number) and (y) an amount equal to the Working Capital Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser and (ii) pay to the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, the remaining Working Capital Escrow Amount, if any, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative. Payment to Purchaser from the Working Capital Escrow Amount shall be Purchaser’s sole remedy and source of payment in the event that the Adjustment Amount results in a reduction to the Purchase Price, and Purchaser shall have no recourse against the Sellers’ Representative or Sellers in respect of such payment.

(i) In the event that the Adjustment Amount is zero, then Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to, within five (5) calendar days after the determination thereof, pay to the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, the Working Capital Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative.

(j) Neither party shall have the right to make any claim in respect of the determination of the Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.05 other than in accordance with this Section 1.05. No adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this

Section 1.05 shall, in and of itself, be considered a breach of any representation, warranty or other provision of this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements.

Section 1.06. Allocation of Purchase Price. The parties hereto agree that the Purchase Price will be allocated to the assets and liabilities of the Company Group for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes in a manner consistent with the allocation methodology set forth on Schedule 1.06 (the “Methodology”) and Code Sections 755 and 1060 and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Tax Allocation”). Notwithstanding anything in the Methodology to the contrary, the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to the equity interests of Nantong shall not exceed Thirty Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($35,000,000.00). Within ninety (90) days after the final Purchase Price is determined, Sellers’ Representative shall provide Purchaser with a draft Tax Allocation, prepared in a manner consistent with the Methodology. If, within twenty (20) Business Days after the delivery of the draft Tax Allocation, Purchaser notifies Sellers’ Representative that Purchaser objects to the draft Tax Allocation, Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall seek in good faith to resolve such dispute within ten (10) Business Days. In the event that Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve such dispute within ten (10) Business Days, Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall refer such disagreement to the Independent Accountant in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 1.05(e), mutatis mutandis, whose decision shall be final and binding, and the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant will be borne between the parties in the manner contemplated under Section 1.05(e). Upon resolution of the disputed items, the Tax Allocation Statement shall be adjusted to reflect such resolution. If Purchaser notifies Sellers’ Representative that it accepts the Tax Allocation, or does not notify Sellers’ Representative of any objections to the Tax Allocation during such twenty (20) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be considered to have accepted the Tax Allocation delivered by Sellers’ Representative, and such Tax Allocation shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon the parties. The parties agree to (i) timely file all IRS Tax forms (including IRS Form 8594) and all other Tax Returns and forms, as applicable, with the appropriate authorities in accordance with the final Tax Allocation and (ii) take no position, and cause their Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with the final Tax Allocation for Tax purposes (including in connection with any Tax audit, review, examination or Proceeding), unless in each case otherwise required by Law or a “determination” within the meaning of Code Section 1313(a)(1) (or corresponding provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Law).

Section 1.07. Earn-Out Consideration. Following the Closing, as additional consideration for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to the Sellers, in cash, the amounts, if any, as determined in accordance with this Section 1.07:

(a) Within ninety (90) days following the completion of each of Parent’s fiscal years 2023 and 2024 (each, an “Annual Earn-Out Period”), Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative its good faith calculation of (i) the Company Revenue and the Company Margin for such Annual Earn-Out Period and the resulting calculation of the Earn-Out Payment, if any, for such Annual Earn-Out Period, as determined in accordance with this Section 1.07, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation describing how the Company Revenue, the Company Margin and Earn-Out Payment, if applicable, was calculated or otherwise determined (each, the “Earn-Out Statement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Closing occurs after December 31, 2022, then the

first Annual Earn-Out Period shall be the twelve-month period commencing on (i) the Closing Date, if the Closing Date is the first day of a month, or otherwise (ii) the first day of the month following the Closing, and the subsequent Annual Earn-Out Period shall be the twelve-month period immediately following the end of such first Annual Earn-Out Period.

(b) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days after its receipt of the Earn-Out Statement (the “Earn-Out Review Period”), the Sellers’ Representative shall notify Purchaser in writing whether it accepts or disputes the accuracy of the items contained in the Earn-Out Statement. During the Earn-Out Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives shall be provided with reasonable access at reasonable times during normal business hours to files, records, relevant Personnel and accountants of the Purchaser and Company Group used in preparing the calculations in the Earn-Out Statement as they may reasonably request to respond to the Earn-Out Statement, provided that the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives shall have entered into a customary confidentiality agreement and any customary access letters reasonably requested by Parent’s or the Company Group’s accounting advisors. If the Sellers’ Representative accepts the Earn-Out Statement or if the Sellers’ Representative fails within the Earn-Out Review Period to notify Purchaser of any dispute with respect thereto, the calculation of the Company Revenue, the Company Margin and Earn-Out Payment contained in the Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed final. If the Sellers’ Representative in good faith disputes the accuracy of any items contained in the Earn-Out Statement, the Sellers’ Representative shall give written notice to Purchaser during the Earn-Out Review Period (the “Earn-Out Dispute Notice”), which shall specify in reasonable detail the reasons for such disagreement and the specific proposed adjustments, including dollar amounts, if known. During the thirty (30) calendar day period following delivery of the Earn-Out Dispute Notice (the “Earn-Out Resolution Period”), the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work together in good faith to resolve any such disagreements. During the Earn-Out Resolution Period, each of Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative and their respective Representatives shall be provided with such reasonable access at reasonable times to the files, records, relevant Personnel and accountants of the other party (and the Company Group) as it may reasonably request to negotiate and resolve the items set forth in the Earn-Out Dispute Notice, provided that such party and its Representatives shall have entered into a customary confidentiality agreement and any customary access letters reasonably requested by the other party’s accounting advisors. All such discussions and communications related thereto shall (unless otherwise agreed by Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule, and any resolution by them agreed to in writing as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive. If the parties resolve their differences over the disputed items in accordance with the foregoing procedure, the amounts agreed upon by them for the Company Revenue, the Company Margin and the Earn-Out Payment, in each case, for such Annual Earn-Out Period, shall be deemed final. If, at the conclusion of the Earn-Out Resolution Period, the Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser are unable to resolve any disputed matters, whether factual or legal, set forth in the Earn-Out Dispute Notice, all unresolved disputed matters raised by the Sellers’ Representative in the Earn-Out Dispute Notice shall be submitted to the Independent Accountant for final resolution. The Independent Accountant shall act in

accordance with the standards set forth in Section 1.05(e), which shall apply mutatis mutandis, except that the Independent Accountant shall make its determination in a manner consistent with this Section 1.07 and the definition of “Company Revenue” and “Company Margin” and all other defined terms used in this Section 1.07, as applicable. The Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to make its determination as soon as possible, but in no event later than forty five (45) calendar days following the date on which the dispute is submitted. Such determination made by the Independent Accountant for such Annual Earn-Out Period shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties (absent fraud or manifest error) for purposes of this Section 1.07. All fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by the party with whose determination the Independent Accountant does not agree, based on the aggregate amounts awarded by the Independent Accountant in accordance with the Sellers’ Representative’s position on disputed amounts and the aggregate amounts awarded by the Independent Accountant in accordance with Purchaser’s position on disputed amounts. If a retainer is required by the Independent Accountant, the retainer shall be split equally between Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative; provided, however, that the retainer shall be considered part of the fees and expenses of such Independent Accountant and if either party has paid a portion of such retainer, such party shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the other party to the extent required by this Section 1.07.

(c) The earn-out amount, if any, payable with respect to each Annual Earn-Out Period shall be calculated as follows (each, an “Earn-Out Payment” and, collectively, the “Earn-Out Payments”):

(i) for the Annual Earn-Out Period starting in 2023 (the “2023 Earn-Out Period”),

(A)

if the Company Revenue is less than the amount set forth on Section 1.07(c)(i)(A)(x) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “2023 Revenue Threshold”) or the Company Gross Margin is less than the amount set forth on Section 1.07(c)(i)(A)(y) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Margin Threshold”), the Earn-Out Payment in respect of such Annual Earn-Out Period shall be $0;

(B)

if the Company Gross Margin is equal to or greater than the Margin Threshold and the Company Revenue is greater than or equal to the 2023 Revenue Threshold but less than the amount set forth on Section 1.07(c)(i)(B) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “2023 Revenue Target”), the Earn-Out Payment in respect of such Annual Earn-Out Period shall be (x) $30,000,000, plus (y) an additional amount equal to the product of (I) $20,000,000 multiplied by (II) a fraction (which shall not be greater than one (1) nor less than zero (0)), (a) the numerator of which is the amount by which the Company Revenue for such Annual Earn-Out Period exceeds the 2023 Revenue Threshold and (b) the denominator of which is $21,500,000;

(C)

if the Company Gross Margin is equal to or greater than the Margin Threshold and the Company Revenue is greater than or equal to the 2023 Revenue Target, the Earn-Out Payment in respect of such Annual Earn-Out Period shall be $50,000,000; and

(D)

the amount, if any, by which the Earn-Out Payment for the 2023 Earn-Out Period is less than $50,000,000 shall be the “2023 Remainder Amount”.

(ii) for the Annual Earn-Out Period starting in 2024 (the “2024 Earn-Out Period”),

(A)

if the Company Revenue is less than the amount set forth on Section 1.07(c)(ii)(A)(x) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “2024 Revenue Threshold”) or the Company Gross Margin is less than the Margin Threshold, the Earn-Out Payment in respect of such Annual Earn-Out Period shall be $0;

(B)

if the Company Gross Margin is equal to or greater than the Margin Threshold and the Company Revenue is greater than or equal to the 2024 Revenue Threshold but less than the amount set forth on Section 1.07(c)(ii)(B) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “2024 Revenue Target”), the Earn-Out Payment in respect of such Annual Earn-Out Period shall be (x) $30,000,000, plus (y) an additional amount equal to the product of (I) $20,000,000 multiplied by (II) a fraction (which shall not be greater than one (1) nor less than zero (0)), (a) the numerator of which is the amount by which the Company Revenue for such Annual Earn-Out Period exceeds the 2024 Revenue Threshold and (b) the denominator of which is $20,000,000; and

(C)

if the Company Gross Margin is equal to or greater than the Margin Threshold and the Company Revenue is greater than or equal to the 2024 Revenue Target, the Earn-Out Payment in respect of such Annual Earn-Out Period shall be (x) $50,000,000, plus (y) an amount, if any, equal to the lesser of (I) the product of (A) 0.25 multiplied by (B) the amount, if any, by which the Company Revenue exceeds the 2024 Revenue Target and (II) the 2023 Remainder Amount, if any.

(d) Within sixty (60) calendar days after the Earn-Out Payment for each Annual Earn-Out Period is final and binding upon parties pursuant to Section 1.07(b), Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative to Purchaser, the Earn-Out Payment payable with respect such Annual Earn-Out Period in accordance with Section 1.07(c) and Section 11.10. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum amount Purchaser may pay pursuant to this Section 1.07 shall be

$100,000,000 in the aggregate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the Tax Indemnification Cap, in the event that Purchaser (on behalf of Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Parties) has asserted any claim for indemnification under Section 11.04 of this Agreement which is not fully resolved, Purchaser shall be entitled to withhold the lesser of (i) the amount of any such claim and (ii) the aggregate amount remaining under the Tax Indemnification Cap from the payment of any and all Earn-Out Payments otherwise payable (and which thereafter become payable) pursuant to this Section 1.07 until full resolution of such indemnification claim. The provisions of Section 1.08 of Schedule 11.11 are incorporated herein by reference.

(e) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.07 shall be (i) treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and (ii) composed of an interest element and a principal element, the interest element to be computed and reported consistent with Section 483 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(f) During each Annual Earn-Out Period, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the books and records of the Company Group to be kept in a manner intended to facilitate the separate recording, compiling and analysis of all information relevant to the determination and calculation of Company Revenue and Company Margin pursuant to this Section 1.07. During each Annual Earn-Out Period, Purchaser shall deliver within forty-five (45) days of the end of each fiscal quarter of Parent an estimated calculation of the Company Revenue and the Company Margin for the previous fiscal quarter of Parent during such Annual Earn-Out Period, provided that such estimates shall solely be illustrative and non-binding and shall have no bearing on the Earn-Out Statement, which shall control in the event of any discrepancy or conflict between any such estimate and the Earn-Out Statement. The parties hereto expressly agree and acknowledge that such quarterly estimates may not be submitted to, or referenced in any information provided to, the Independent Accountant in connection with any dispute relating to the Earn-Out Statement.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) Parent shall have the right to operate its business and the businesses of its Affiliates (including the Company Group) including the Business, in the absolute and sole discretion of Parent and may make all decisions with respect to the Company Group and the Business at the sole discretion of Parent, provided, that Parent shall not take any action or fail to take any action, in bad faith, the primary purpose of which is to reduce, defer, mischaracterize, divert or eliminate Company Revenue or Company Gross Margin for any Annual Earn-Out Period in order to avoid or reduce an Earn-Out Payment, (ii) Parent, Purchaser, the Company Group and their Affiliates have no obligation to operate the Company Group or the Business in order to achieve any Earn-Out Payment or to maximize the amount of any Company Revenue, Company Gross Margin or Earn-Out Payment, (iii) the Earn-Out Payments contemplated herein are speculative and are subject to numerous factors, including numerous factors outside the control of Parent, Purchaser, the Company Group and their Affiliates, (iv) there is no assurance that Sellers will receive any Earn-Out Payment and neither Parent, Purchaser, the Company Group, the Business nor any of their Affiliates has promised or projected payment of any Earn-Out

Payment to any Seller or provided, whether written or oral, any assurances or commitments regarding the achievability of an Earn-Out Payment or the likelihood thereof, (v) the contingent right of the Sellers to receive any Earn-Out Payment will not be represented by any certificate or other instrument, is not transferable and is not an investment in Parent, Purchaser, the Company Group or their Affiliates, and such contingent right shall not entitle any Seller to any rights as a shareholder or equityholder of Parent, Purchaser, the Company Group or their Affiliates and (vi) no Person shall be liable to any Seller for any incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising out of any breach of this Section 1.07.

(h) Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 1.07, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) “Company Revenue” means the total amount of net revenue of the Company Group calculated in accordance with GAAP consistent with the Company’s past accounting practices as applied in the Company Financial Statements, net of, in each case, solely to the extent included in such net revenue of the Company Group, (i) outside broker commissions, (ii) any non-recurring, one-time or non-operating items, (iii) gains or offsets or charges derived from any nonrecurring event that would be characterized as “extraordinary” due to their size, nature or type), (iv) gains resulting from the sale or other disposition of assets of the Company Group outside the Ordinary Course of Business as of the Closing, and (v) gains attributable to adjustments relating to prior periods, determined in good faith; provided, that “Company Revenue” shall (x) exclude, without duplication, any net revenue from GBoost made via GBoost existing sales channels as of the Closing (i.e. the GBoost website and GBoost’s dealer network as of the Closing), and, subject to the last sentence of this definition, the net revenues of any Person, operating assets, business or line of business acquired by Parent or its Affiliates (whether by merger, asset purchase, merger, consolidation or equity purchase) during the applicable Annual Earn-Out Period or the period between the Closing and the 2024 Earn-Out Period, and (y) include, without duplication, (A) sales of products sold as a GBoost product via the Company Group’s existing sales channels as of the Closing (i.e. the Company Group’s website, the Company Group’s dealer network as of the Closing and the Company’s marketplace), provided, that, for purposes of calculating Company Revenue, the amount of such sales described in this clause (A) during the applicable Annual Earn-Out Period shall not exceed the applicable amount set forth on Section 1.07(h)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules and (B) the net revenue of any Person, operating assets, business or line of business of the Company Group as of the Closing Date that are sold or otherwise disposed of by the Company Group during the applicable Annual Earn-Out Period and the net revenue from any product lines that are discontinued or reduced through cannibalization by alternative product lines as a result of the acquisition during the applicable Annual Earn-Out Period by the Company Group of a supplier or alternative supplier of such product lines, in each case, that would have been generated had such Person, business or line of business or discontinued or cannibalized product line not been sold or otherwise disposed of or discontinued or cannibalized, as applicable, and remained part of the Company Group for the duration of such Annual Earn-Out Period and any expenses associated with such

sale or other disposition, assuming for this purpose that the average monthly net revenue for the remainder of the applicable Annual Earn-Out Period is equal to the average monthly net revenue for the twelve-month period prior to such sale, disposition or discontinuance or cannibalization. With respect to any new business acquired by the Company Group (whether by merger, asset purchase, merger, consolidation or equity purchase) after the Closing and prior to the end of the 2024 Earn-Out Period that is expected to result in revenue synergies, the Sellers’ Representative and a Purchaser designated person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree in good faith prior to the closing of the acquisition of such acquired business as to the portion of such revenue synergies that will be deemed “Company Revenues” for purposes hereof, in accordance with the guidelines set forth on Section 1.07(h)(i)(y) of the Disclosure Schedules.

(ii) “Company Gross Margin” means a fraction, (a) the numerator of which is (i) Company Revenue, minus (ii) Company COGS and (b) the denominator of which is Company Revenue, calculated in accordance with GAAP consistent with the Company’s past accounting practices as applied in the Company Financial Statements; provided, that, solely with respect to any new break-fix products initially developed by the Company Group after the Closing and initially brought to market by the Company Group after the Closing that have a Company Gross Margin equal to or greater than 40% but less than the Margin Threshold, the Company Gross Margin for such products will be deemed to be equal to the Margin Threshold.

Variances to standard cost include only variances to material cost, labor cost, inbound freight cost, and variable overhead costs. Variable overhead costs include only production supplies and equipment, process scrap, repairs and maintenance of equipment, utilities, and equipment rental. Variances are capitalized into inventory using a DIO of 154 days, which is the three-year average of 2018-2020 (pre-Covid levels) calculated in accordance with GAAP. “Company COGS” shall be adjusted accordingly as needed to reflect the cost of goods sold that correspond to any revenues included in the definition of “Company Revenue” pursuant to clause (y) thereof or pursuant to the last sentence thereof.

Section 7.07. Approvals; Notices.

(a) Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser and each of the Seller Parties shall each use their reasonable best efforts to make all filings, notices, submissions of information and other documents required of such Person with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the HSR Act. Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall promptly provide all information that any Governmental Entity may require or that may be advisable in connection with any such filings, notices or submissions.

(b) To the extent they have not already done so, Purchaser and the Seller Parties, as applicable, shall file within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof any Notification and Report Forms and related material required to be filed with the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser shall pay the filing fees required by the HSR Act.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Proceeding is instituted or threatened to be instituted, or any order is entered or threatened to be entered, in each case, challenging the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts, including those actions set forth in Section 7.07(e), to contest, avoid, vacate, modify or suspend each such Proceeding or order.

(d) Subject to applicable confidentiality restrictions or restrictions required by Law, Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall notify the Sellers’ Representative or Purchaser, respectively, of (i) any material comments or questions from any officials of any Governmental Entity in connection with any filings, consents or submissions made pursuant hereto or any request for additional information or documentary materials and (ii) any request by any Governmental Entity for amendments or supplements to such filings, consents, submissions or requests for additional information or documentary materials. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing, consent or submission made pursuant to Section 7.07(a) or Section 7.07(b), Purchaser or the Sellers’ Representative, as the case may be, will promptly inform the other of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the applicable Governmental Entity such amendment or supplement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments and proposals made by or on behalf of a party or the Company Group before any Governmental Entity or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Entity in connection

with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any interactions between Purchaser or the Company Group with Governmental Entities in the Ordinary Course of Business or any disclosure which is confidential or not permitted by Law) shall be disclosed to Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative in advance of such filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent of the parties to consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals. Each party shall give notice to Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative with respect to any substantive meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Entity or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Entity, with such notice being sufficient to provide the other parties with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact. Any materials exchanged in connection with this Section 7.07(b) may be redacted or withheld as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns, and to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company or the Purchaser’s consideration of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or other competitively sensitive material; provided, that the parties may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other party under this Section 7.07 as “outside counsel only.”

(e) Without limiting the generality of Purchaser’s undertaking pursuant to this Section 7.07, Purchaser agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take all actions that are necessary or as may be required by any Governmental Entity to expeditiously consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) selling, licensing or otherwise disposing of, or holding separate and agreeing to sell, license or otherwise dispose of, any entities, assets or facilities of the Company Group after the Closing or any entity, facility or asset of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) terminating, amending or assigning existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations (other than terminations that would result in a breach of a contractual obligation to a third party) and (iii) amending, assigning or terminating existing licenses or other agreements (other than terminations that would result in a breach of a license or such other agreement with a third party) and entering into such new licenses or other agreements; provided that any such action contemplated above is conditioned upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided further that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 7.07 or any other provision of this Agreement shall require any of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including Parent) to agree or otherwise be required to, take any action, including any action contemplated in (i) - (iii) above, that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, assets, liabilities, businesses or results of operations of the Company Group, taken as a whole, or the financial condition, assets, liabilities, businesses or results of operations of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (which for the purpose of this proviso shall be deemed to be the same size as the Company Group, taken as a whole). In no event shall the Company or Seller Parties propose, negotiate, effect or agree to any action contemplated above without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(f) Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Parent and its Subsidiaries not to, acquire (including by merger, consolidation or acquisition of stock or assets or any other means) or publicly announce an intention to so acquire, or enter into any definitive agreements, providing for any acquisitions of, a material portion of the assets of or equity interests in any Person (or any business or division thereof) to the extent any such acquisition (i) involves products and/or services which directly compete with the primary products and/or services offered by the Business, and (ii) would reasonably be expected to (and actually does) cause material additional delay with respect to the substantive review of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Law which prevents the conditions set forth in Section 3.01(d), Section 3.01(e), Section 3.02(d) and Section 3.02(e) from being satisfied prior to the End Date.

Section 7.08. Distribution of Cash. Prior to the Adjustment Time, the Company Group may distribute Cash to its members or stockholders, use Cash to pay Debt or Transaction Expenses or any combination of the foregoing. At or following the Adjustment Time and prior to the Closing, the Company shall not distribute Cash to its members or stockholders (including by dividend, distribution or return of capital) use Cash to pay Debt or Transaction Expenses, or take any other action the result of which would be to cause the Purchase Price to change.

Section 7.09. Financing.

(a) The Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions and to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letters and arrange and obtain the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letters (or on terms no less favorable in any material respect to Purchaser); (ii) negotiate, finalize and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions (A) acceptable to the Lenders and (B) in the aggregate not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to Purchaser than contained in the Debt Commitment Letters; (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions in such definitive agreements that are within its control applicable to Purchaser; (iv) consummate the Debt Financing no later than the Closing Date and (v) in the event all conditions to the Debt Financing have been satisfied or waived, fully enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letters to the extent available in the event of a breach by the applicable Debt Financing Sources.

(b) Purchaser shall not agree to any amendments or modifications to, or grant any waivers of, any condition or other provision under the Debt Commitment Letters without the prior written consent of the Company if such amendments, modifications or waivers would reduce or would reasonably be expected to reduce the aggregate amount of the applicable Debt Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Debt Financing) below the amount necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement when taken together with other cash on hand of the Purchaser or other sources of cash to become available to the Purchaser on the Closing Date (including, if applicable, any Alternative Financing), impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions under the Debt Commitment Letters that would be reasonably likely to (i) prevent, delay or impair the ability of the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this

Agreement or (ii) adversely impact the ability of the Purchaser to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letters. Purchaser shall not release or consent to the termination of the obligations of the Lender under the Debt Commitment Letters, except in each case for (I) assignments and replacements of an individual Lender under the terms of, and only in connection with, the syndication of the Debt Financing pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letters or (II) replacements of the Debt Commitment Letters with alternative financing commitments pursuant to this Section 7.09(b) (an “Alternative Financing”). In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing (x) becomes unavailable or (y) would reasonably be expected to become unavailable in the manner or from the sources contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letters, (i) Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company and (ii) in the case of subclause (x), Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, and to negotiate and enter into finance commitments and definitive agreements with respect to, an Alternative Financing from alternative financial institutions in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement when taken together with other cash on hand of Purchaser or other sources of cash to become available to Purchaser on the Closing Date (including, if applicable, any other Alternative Financing) upon terms and conditions no less favorable in all material respects, taken as a whole, to Purchaser than those in the Debt Commitment Letters as in effect on the date of this Agreement, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event. Purchaser shall (x) furnish to the Company complete, correct and executed copies of the definitive documents with respect to the Debt Financing promptly upon their execution, (y) give the Company prompt notice of any breach or default by any party to any of the Debt Commitment Letters or any Alternative Financing commitment with respect to the Debt Financing or any termination thereof or any material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Debt Commitment Letters with respect to the obligation to fund the Debt Financing or the amount of the Debt Financing to be funded at the Closing and (z) otherwise keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of Purchaser’s efforts to arrange the Debt Financing (or any replacement thereof) and all material developments concerning the status thereof.

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use reasonable best efforts to provide, such cooperation as is reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (provided, that such requested cooperation does not (w) interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company Group, (x) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that would conflict with or violate any applicable Law, any of the organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Material Contract, (y) cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (z) result in any director, manager, employee, officer, accountants, legal counsel or other representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries incurring any actual or potential personal liability), including by using reasonable best efforts to: (i) participate in a reasonable number of meetings (including meetings with prospective lenders and investors), presentations, road shows, drafting sessions and due diligence sessions, including using reasonable best efforts to coordinate direct contact between senior management and the independent auditors of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the actual and potential lenders or

investors, on the other hand (which may include one-on-one meetings with potential lenders or investors), and sessions with rating agencies, in each case at reasonable times and locations and with reasonable advance notice, (ii) furnish to Purchaser as promptly as reasonably practicable (A) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the related unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each fiscal quarter after the period covered by the Unaudited Financial Statements, within sixty (60) days after the end of each such fiscal quarter and (B) such other pertinent and customary information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to the extent that such information is required in connection with the Debt Commitment Letters to consummate the Debt Financing, (iii) assist Purchaser in the preparation of (A) customary materials for rating agency and lender presentations and (B) definitive documentation for the Debt Financing, including any certificates and schedules related thereto, and otherwise reasonably assist in facilitating the provision of guarantees and pledging of collateral contemplated by the Debt Financing, (iv) provide at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, all documentation and other information as is required by applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations including the USA PATRIOT Act and the beneficial ownership regulations pursuant to 31 C.F.R. §1010.230 and is reasonably requested by Purchaser at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and (v) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, ensure that prior to the Closing Date there will be no competing issues, offerings, placements, arrangements or syndications of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries being offered, placed or arranged without the written consent of the Debt Financing Sources.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Group Company shall be required to pay any commitment or other fee or incur any other liability or obligation (except for the obligations set forth in Section 7.09(c) in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Closing), (ii) no obligation of any Group Company under any document, certificate or instrument executed pursuant to Section 7.09(c) shall be effective until the Closing or be effective if the Closing does not occur, (iii) no Group Company shall be required to execute or deliver or have any liability or obligation under any loan agreement or any related document or any other agreement or document (including any certificates, legal opinions or pledge or security documents) or any other action requested hereunder related to the Debt Financing prior to the Closing, except for the customary authorization letter referenced in Section 7.09(c)(iii), and (iv) no Group Company shall be required to provide access to or disclose any information or document except in accordance with Section 7.01. Purchaser shall promptly, upon request by the Company or the Sellers’ Representative, reimburse the Company and/or Seller for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by any Group Company, Sellers or any of their respective representatives in connection with the cooperation of the Company and its Affiliates contemplated by Section 7.09(c). All non-public or other confidential information provided by the Company or its Representatives pursuant to Section 7.09(c) will be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Purchaser will be permitted to disclose such information to any Debt Financing Sources or prospective Debt Financing Sources and other financial institutions that may become parties to the Debt Financing and to any arrangers and initial lenders in connection

with the Debt Financing (and, in each case, to their respective officers, employees, representatives and advisors) or ratings agencies as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters so long as such information shall be kept confidential by them in accordance with customary confidentiality protections that are at least as restrictive as the protections in the Confidentiality Agreement.

(e) No Seller, nor any member of the Company Group or their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall be required to (i) take any action that would subject any such Person to actual or potential Liability, (ii) bear any cost or expense or to pay any commitment or other similar fee or make any other payment that, in the case of Seller or any member of the Company Group, would be effective prior to the Closing Date or (iii) incur any other Liability or provide or agree to provide any indemnity, in each case in connection with the Debt Financing or their performance of their respective obligations under this Section 7.09 and any information utilized in connection therewith.

Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller, each member of the Company Group and their Affiliates and Representatives from and against any and all Liabilities, losses, damages, claims, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with the Debt Financing and the performance of their respective obligations under this Section 7.09 and any information utilized in connection therewith; provided that Purchaser shall under no circumstances be required to indemnify any Seller, any member of the Company Group or their respective Affiliates or Representatives for any costs, expenses or losses incurred by any other Person under this Section 7.09 that arose out of or resulted from the gross negligence, fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct of any of Seller, any member of the Company Group or their respective Affiliates or Representatives as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. All non-public or other confidential information provided by the Company or its Representatives pursuant to Section 7.09(c) will be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood and agreed that Purchaser will be permitted to request customary joinders of financing sources providing the Debt Financing to the Confidentiality Agreement).

Section 7.10. Termination of Related Party Arrangements. In connection with the Closing, the Seller Parties shall, pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, take such actions as may be necessary to terminate each Related Party Arrangement, other than the Contracts set forth on Section 7.10 of the Disclosure Schedule, effective on or prior to the Closing with no further obligations or liabilities of the Company Group from and after the Closing.

The obligation of each Seller to treat such documents, materials and other information in confidence and not to use, disseminate or disclose such materials shall not apply to any information which: (i) such Seller can demonstrate was already lawfully in its possession prior to the disclosure thereof by the other parties; (ii) is known to the public and did not become so known through any violation of a legal obligation on the part of the disclosing party; (iii) is later lawfully acquired by such Seller from other sources; (iv) is required to be disclosed under the provisions of any Law, or by any stock exchange or similar body; or (v) is required to be disclosed by a rule or order of any court of competent jurisdiction. The obligation of each Seller to treat such documents, materials and other information in confidence and not to use, disseminate or disclose such materials shall apply regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement actually are consummated, and the parties shall not be relieved of any obligations under this Section 9.01(a) in the event that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not actually consummated and/or in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01. In the event that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not actually consummated, each Seller shall immediately return and deliver any and all documents, materials and other information (and all copies thereof) provided by any other party to the party which provided or disclosed such documents,

materials and other information and delete or otherwise destroy any and all electronic copies thereof. Purchaser acknowledges that the information provided to it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement. The parties shall adhere to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall automatically terminate as of the Closing.

(b) From and after the Closing, each Seller agrees to maintain the confidentiality of, and refrain from using or disclosing to any Person, all Confidential Information, except to the extent disclosure of any such information is required by Law, by a rule or order of any court of competent jurisdiction or in connection with any claims, disputes or Proceedings against the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Seller shall be permitted to make disclosures concerning the Confidential Information (i) in accordance with Section 13.01, (ii) in connection with customary disclosures (which are made subject to customary confidentiality obligations) to, as applicable, its prospective or current limited partners, trustees, shareholders, members or investors in connection with their respective fundraising and reporting activities, (iii) in connection with any Tax Returns filed by such Seller or any of its respective Affiliates, and (iv) during the course of pursuing or defending any claims or in connection with any dispute between Purchaser, on the one hand, and such Seller, on the other hand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Seller who is not a natural person, the limitations and obligations set forth in this Section 9.01 applicable to such Seller shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date.

(c) The parties shall take all actions and execute all further documents that are necessary to comply with all applicable Laws governing Personal Data in connection with the execution, delivery, consummation and performance of this Agreement.

TERMINATION

Section 10.01. Events of Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to completion of the Closing, as follows:

(a) by the Sellers’ Representative, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, by written notice to the other:

(i) if the Closing has not occurred by November 15, 2022 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that if, solely as it relates to any Antitrust Laws, any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 3.01(d), Section 3.01(e), Section 3.02(d) and Section 3.02(e) have not been satisfied or waived on or prior to the End Date but all other conditions to Closing set forth in Article III have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing, so long as such conditions are reasonably capable of being satisfied or, if permissible, waived if the Closing were to occur on the End Date), then the End Date shall, without further action by either party, automatically be extended by ninety (90) days (and if so extended, such date shall be the “End Date”), provided,

further, that the End Date shall not be extended pursuant to the foregoing proviso more than one (1) time; provided, further, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(a)(i) shall not be available to Purchaser or the Sellers’ Representative if the breach of this Agreement by Purchaser, on one hand, or any Seller Party, on the other hand, respectively, has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated by the End Date; or

(ii) if (x) any Governmental Entity shall have issued an injunction or taken any other action (which injunction or other action the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to lift) that permanently restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such injunction or other action shall have become final and non-appealable or (y) there shall be a Law which makes the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited; provided, however, the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (x) of this Section 10.01(a)(ii) shall not be available to Purchaser or the Sellers’ Representative if the breach of this Agreement by Purchaser, on one hand, or any Seller Party, on the other hand, respectively, has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, such injunction or other action.

(b) by joint written agreement of the Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser;

(c) by Purchaser, upon written notice to the Sellers’ Representative, at any time prior to the Closing, if (i) any Seller Party is in breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by it in this Agreement, (ii) such breach is not capable of being cured by the End Date or is not cured by the earlier of the day prior to the End Date and twenty (20) days following written notice of such breach from Purchaser (to the extent such breach is curable) and (iii) such breach, if not cured, would render any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 incapable of being satisfied as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(c) if Purchaser has breached this Agreement and such breach has resulted in the failure of a condition in Section 3.01 to be satisfied as of the Closing Date; or

(d) by the Sellers’ Representative, upon written notice to Purchaser, at any time prior to the Closing, if (i) Purchaser is in breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by it in this Agreement, (ii) such breach is not capable of being cured by the End Date or is not cured by the earlier of the day prior to the End Date and twenty (20) days following written notice of such breach from the Sellers’ Representative (to the extent such breach is curable) and (iii) such breach, if not cured, would render any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.01 incapable of being satisfied; provided, however, that the Sellers’ Representative shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(d) if any Seller Party has breached this Agreement and such breach has resulted in the failure of a condition in Section 3.01 to be satisfied as of the Closing Date;

Section 10.02. Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01, all rights and obligations of the parties shall terminate without any liability of a party to the other parties; provided, however, that the rights and obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 10.02, Section 7.09(d), Section 7.09(e), Section 9.01(a), Section 13.01, Section 13.02, Section 13.12, Section 13.13 and Section 13.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement indefinitely; provided, however, that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if such termination shall result from the (i) Willful Breach of either party of a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other party or (ii) Willful Breach of a party of an agreement or covenant contained herein, such party shall not be relieved of any liability to the other party as a result of such Willful Breach; provided, further, that no termination shall relieve any Party from liability to any other Party for Fraud.

(b) Nothing in this Section 10.02 shall limit the right of any party hereto to bring or maintain any Proceeding against another party hereto for specific performance or injunctive relief pursuant to Section 13.12.

ARTICLE XI.

OTHER AGREEMENTS

Section 11.01. Transfer Taxes. All transfer, stamp, documentary, registration, and other similar Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and paid when due by Purchaser. Purchaser hereby agrees to file or cause to be filed in a timely manner all necessary Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes. The Sellers’ Representative will cooperate with Purchaser in the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information reasonably requested by Purchaser that is reasonably necessary to complete such Tax Returns.

Section 11.02. Preparation of Tax Returns.

(a) The Sellers’ Representative shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns in respect of the Company Group that are required to be filed (taking into account any extension that is automatically granted if timely filed) before the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company (except as otherwise required by applicable Law).

(b) The Sellers’ Representative, at its sole expense, shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely fled, any Flow-Through Tax Return required to be filed by the Company Group for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, the due date of which (taking to account extension of time to file) is after the Closing. Such Flow-Through Tax Return for the final Pre-Closing Tax Period shall include all Transaction Tax Deductions. The Sellers’ Representative shall prepare such all Flow-Through Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past procedures and practices of the Company Group except as required by this Agreement or by Law. The Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to the Purchaser for its review a draft of any such Flow-Through Tax Return at least twenty (20) days prior to the

due date (taking into account extensions of time to file) (or as soon as reasonably practicable if the due date for filing such Tax Return is within twenty (20) days of the Closing) for the filing of such Flow-Through Tax Return. The Purchaser shall notify the Sellers’ Representative of any objections within ten (10) days of receipt of such draft Flow-Through Tax Return and the Sellers’ Representative shall incorporate any reasonable comment that the Purchaser submits to the Sellers’ Representative; provided, that if Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to agree on the final form of any such Tax Return after good faith negotiations, then the dispute shall be submitted to and resolved by the Independent Accountant in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 1.05(e).

(c) Purchaser shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company Group for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than the income Tax Returns which will be prepared by Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Section 11.02(b)), the due date of which (taking into account extension of time to file) is after the Closing Date. To the extent any such Tax Return is a Flow-Through Tax Return or reports a Seller Indemnified Tax (but solely to the extent such Tax Return reports a Seller Indemnified Tax) (such a Tax Return a “Seller Review Tax Return”), Purchaser shall prepare such Tax Return in a manner consistent with the past procedures and practices of the Company Group except as required by this Agreement or by Law. Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative for its review a draft of any Seller Review Tax Return at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date (taking into account extensions of time to file) (or as soon as reasonably practicable if the due date for filing such Tax Return is within twenty (20) days of the Closing) for the filing of such Seller Review Tax Return. The Sellers’ Representative shall notify Purchaser of any objections within ten (10) days of receipt of such draft Seller Review Tax Return and Purchaser shall incorporate any reasonable comment that the Sellers’ Representative submits to Purchaser; provided, that if Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to agree on the final form of any such Tax Return after good faith negotiations, then the dispute shall be submitted to and resolved by the Independent Accountant in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 1.05(e).

(d) With respect to any specific Tax for which the Company Group is required to file a Tax Return for a Straddle Period, the parties agree to utilize the following conventions for determining the amount of Taxes attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending at the end of the day on the Closing Date (including for purposes of preparing any Tax Returns in accordance with this Section 11.02), to the extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) in the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall equal the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending at the end of the day on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes (including income Taxes, sales Taxes, employment Taxes and withholding Taxes), the amount attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership

or other pass-through entity in which the Company Group holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time).

(e) Without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Purchaser will not, and will cause the Company Group not to, take any of the following actions with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns in each case for any Pre-Closing Tax Period: (i) amend any Flow-Through Tax Return of the Company Group or any Tax Return to the extent it reports a Seller Indemnified Tax, in each case for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) change any Tax election with respect to the Company Group that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) extend or waive any statute of limitations with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company Group for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iv) initiate any voluntary disclosure proceeding with a Governmental Entity with respect to Taxes of the Company Group for any Pre-Closing Period.

Section 11.03. Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) The parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Representatives and Affiliates to reasonably cooperate, including by agreeing to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as reasonably practicable, such information and assistance relating to Taxes of the Company Group, including access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary in preparing and filing all Tax Returns (including amended Tax Returns and claims for refund), in making any election relating to Taxes, in handling audits, examinations, investigations and administrative, court or other Proceedings relating to Taxes, in resolving all disputes, audits and refund claims with respect to such Tax Returns and Taxes, and any earlier Tax Returns and Taxes of the Company Group, and in all other appropriate Tax matters.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.03(a), and in addition to all other obligations imposed by this Section 11.03 for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date, Sellers, on one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, agree to give Purchaser or the Sellers’ Representative, respectively, reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any files and records with respect to Tax matters of the Company Group for the Pre-Closing Tax Period and, if such other party so reasonably requests, shall allow such other party to take possession or obtain copies of such files and records.

(c) Push-Out Election and 754 Election. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period in which the BBA Audit Rules are effective, the parties shall cooperate to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to make a timely election under Code Section 6226(a) (and any corresponding elections under state and local law) to treat a “partnership adjustment” as an adjustment to be taken into account by each member of such entity (including former members) in accordance with Code Section 6226(b). In addition, the Company shall make, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes to make, a timely election under Code Section 754 (and any equivalent election

for applicable state and local income Tax purposes) for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date.

(d) Intended Tax Treatment. The parties intend and agree that, for U.S. federal, state and local Tax purposes, the transactions contemplated hereby shall be treated as a sale of partnership interests by the Sellers and a purchase of assets by Purchaser pursuant to Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432 (Jan. 15, 1999), Situation 2, and the Company’s status as a partnership shall terminate for income tax purposes pursuant to Code Section 708(b)(1) as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Except as Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) may otherwise agree or as may be required otherwise pursuant to or a “determination” within the meaning of Code Section 1313(a)(1) (or corresponding provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Law), Purchaser, the Company and the Sellers, and their respective Affiliates, shall report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, on all Tax Returns) in a manner consistent with, and shall take no position on any Tax Return, in any refund claim, in any litigation or proceeding, or otherwise, inconsistent with, the Intended Tax Treatment.

Section 11.04. Tax Indemnity.

(a) Tax Indemnity.

(i) The Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from any and all Losses arising out of, relating to or resulting from any Seller Indemnified Taxes in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “Tax Indemnification Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the obligation of the Sellers to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from any and all Non-Final Tax Indemnity Matter Costs (as defined below) shall not be subject to, and shall not be counted against, the Tax Indemnification Cap and (y) the Sellers shall not be liable for any Taxes included as a liability in Final Closing Date Debt or any Taxes of the Company attributable to actions not in the ordinary course of business and not contemplated by this Agreement taken by Purchaser or the surviving corporation on the Closing Date and after the Closing.

(ii) Any indemnity payment required to be made pursuant to this Section 11.04(a) shall be made within sixty (60) days after Purchaser or the relevant Purchaser Indemnified Party makes written demand upon Sellers’ Representative; provided that, unless otherwise specified in Section 11.04(a)(iii) or 11.04(a)(iv), the Sellers’ Representative may, in in that sixty (60) day period, dispute in writing the validity of the indemnity demand or the amount of the indemnity demand, and upon such written notice of the dispute being provided, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disputes. To the extent that Purchaser or the relevant Purchaser Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative cannot resolve the tax indemnity dispute, the matter shall be submitted to an Independent Accountant in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 1.05(e).

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.04(a)(ii) to the contrary, to the extent a written demand for indemnification under this Section 11.04 demands indemnification for Losses arising out of, relating to or resulting from any Seller Indemnified Taxes shown on a Seller Review Return that has been prepared in accordance with Section 11.02(c) (including, if applicable, the dispute resolution procedures prescribed therein), the Sellers Representative shall not be entitled to dispute the amount of such Seller Indemnified Taxes.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.04(a)(ii) to the contrary, to the extent a written demand for indemnification under this Section 11.04 demands indemnification for Losses arising out of, relating to or resulting from any Seller Indemnified Taxes shown on notice of, or other communication from a Taxing Authority relating to, a Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding, the amount of Seller Indemnified Taxes shown thereon shall be presumed to be accurate for purposes of such demand. To the extent such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding has not been fully and finally resolved (to such extent, a “Non-Final Tax Indemnity Matter”), the Sellers’ Representative shall have the option, but not the obligation, within twenty (20) days (or shorter period as may be prescribed by Law) to notify Purchaser that the Seller Representative desires to contest, challenge, appeal or otherwise dispute such Non-Final Tax Indemnity Matter, in which case the Sellers Representative shall have the right to control such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding in accordance with Section 11.04(b). To the extent the Sellers’ Representative elects to dispute and control any such Non-Final Tax Indemnity Matter, the Sellers may postpone their obligation to satisfy their indemnification obligations under this Section 11.04 with respect to such Non-Final Tax Indemnity Matter, but the Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from any and all additional Taxes, additions to Tax, penalties or interest relating to such Non-Final Tax Indemnity Matter and imposed on Purchaser or its Affiliates after the date of the Sellers’ Representative’s election (“Non-Final Tax Indemnity Matter Costs”) and such Non-Final Tax Indemnity Matter Costs shall not be subject to or counted against the Tax Indemnification Cap. For the sake of clarity and avoidance of doubt, the Non-Final Tax Indemnity Matter Costs shall be limited to those Tax matters directly related to the issues detailed on the applicable notice or communication from the Taxing Authority in dispute; to the extent that a Taxing Authority issues additional notices or other communications related to new or additional Tax matters that would otherwise be a Seller Indemnified Tax, such notices and communications shall be treated as a separate claim pursuant to this Section 11.04.

(v) Losses for which any Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 11.04(a) shall be satisfied as follows: (i) first if coverage for such Losses is available under the Rep and Warranty Policy, under the Rep and Warranty Policy up to the amount of any policy limit contained therein, (ii) second, to the extent such Losses are not recoverable under the Rep and Warranty Policy, from the Sellers directly. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover Losses from the Rep and Warranty Policy to the fullest extent reasonably possible.

(b) Tax Proceedings. If a notice of an audit, action, suit, investigation, litigation, dispute, claim, examination, deficiency, assessment or other similar proceeding with a Taxing Authority (a “Tax Proceeding”) with respect to a taxable period of the Company Group ending on or before the Closing Date (but not including any Tax Proceeding with respect to any Straddle Period) (a “Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding”) is received by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, Purchaser shall give the Sellers’ Representative written notice of such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding within twenty (20) days of receipt of such notice. The failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations provided under this Section 11.04 except to the extent the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Sellers’ Representative shall have the right, at the sole expense of the Sellers, to elect, within twenty (20) days of receiving notice from Purchaser, to control any Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding; provided, however, the Seller Representative shall reasonably inform Purchaser of the status of any such proceedings, shall provide Purchaser with copies of any pleadings, correspondence, and other documents as Purchaser may reasonably request and shall consult with Purchaser and shall obtain the prior written consent of Purchaser prior to the settlement or compromise of any such proceedings, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Purchaser, at its own expense, shall have the right to participate in, but not direct, the prosecution or defense of any such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding controlled by the Sellers’ Representative. The rights of the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative with respect to any Tax Proceeding shall be subject to any rights of the insurer with respect to such Tax Proceeding pursuant to the Rep and Warranty Policy, unless the Seller Representative agrees that the Sellers will be fully liable for any Losses resulting from such Tax Proceeding, notwithstanding any portion of this Section 11.04 to the contrary. Purchaser shall have the right, at its own expense, to control any other Tax Proceedings with respect to the Company Group. To the extent that the Sellers would reasonably be expected to have an indemnification obligation under this Section 11.04 with respect to any such Tax Proceeding, Purchaser shall reasonably inform Sellers’ Representative of the status of any such proceedings and shall provide Sellers’ Representative with copies of any pleadings, correspondence, and other documents as Purchaser may reasonably request and shall not settle or compromise such Tax Proceeding without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

(c) Tax Refunds, Credits and Deductions. Any refund of Taxes of the Company Group, or Tax credit in lieu thereof, actually received with respect to Taxes for which the Sellers would be responsible pursuant to this Agreement, or any reduction by the full and final resolution of a Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding of Seller Indemnified Taxes for which the Sellers had previously satisfied a Purchaser Indemnified Party’s written demand for indemnification, in each case, net of any Taxes of the Company Group arising as a result thereof and any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in preparing any claim for such refund, credit or reduction, shall be for the account of Sellers, except to the extent that any such refund or credit was reflected in Final Closing Date Debt or is attributable to the carryback of a Tax attribute (including a net operating loss, net capital loss, foreign tax credit, or research and development credit) arising after the Closing. Purchaser shall pay over to the Sellers’ Representative any such refund, credit or reduction within ten (10) days after receipt thereof or entitlement thereto.

(d) Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The parties agree that any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Section 11.04 shall be treated as an adjustment to the final Purchase Price for Tax purposes except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law.

(e) Survival of Tax Matters Representations and Covenants. The Tax Matter representations of the Company Group contained in Section 5.07 and the obligations of the Sellers and Purchaser contained in this Section 11.04, including without limitation the tax indemnity within Section 11.04(a), shall survive the later of (x) until sixty (60) days after (i) the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date on all United States federal income Tax matters, and (ii) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Closing Date on all other Tax matters, including U.S. state and local and non-U.S. Tax matters, and (y) with respect to any indemnified matter for which Purchaser (i) has delivered a written demand for indemnification upon the Sellers’ Representative, or (ii) has received a written notice of an active or threatened suit, investigation, litigation, dispute, examination, assessment or other similar proceeding, in each case, on or before the date specified in clause (x) above, the full and final resolution of such matter and payment of indemnified Losses, if any, to the relevant Purchaser Indemnified Party. The obligations of the Sellers and Purchaser contained in Section 11.03(c) and Section 11.03(d) shall survive until the close of business on the day of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).

Section 11.05. Directors and Officers Indemnification.

(a) At the Closing, Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s expense, purchase (or cause the Company Group to purchase), and shall cause the Company Group to, continue to provide, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, any Person who is or was prior to the Closing an officer, director or manager of the Company Group, as applicable, officers’ and directors’ liability insurance coverage through purchase of a tail policy to the current officers’ and directors’ liability insurance maintained by the Company Group (the “D&O Tail Policy”) with respect to all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation (each a “D&O Claim”) to the extent that any such D&O Claim is based on, or arises out of, (a) the fact that such Person is or was a manager, director or officer of the Company Group, as applicable, at any time prior to the Closing or is or was serving at the request of the Company Group as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another Person at any time prior to the Closing, or (b) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case to the extent that any such D&O Claim pertains to any matter or fact arising, existing or occurring prior to or at the Closing, regardless of whether such D&O Claim is asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, which coverage shall be substantially similar to the Company Group’s existing current officers’ and directors’ liability insurance, a copy of which has been made available to Purchaser, including (x) an overall coverage amount not less than the overall coverage amount under the existing officers’ and directors’ liability insurance of the Company Group, and (y) coverage for Liability under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in an amount not less than the coverage amounts for such liabilities under the existing current officers’ and

directors’ liability insurance of the Company Group; provided, that Purchaser shall not be required to pay for such D&O Tail Policy an aggregate amount in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company Group for officers’ and directors’ liability insurance coverage; provided, further, that if the aggregate cost of such D&O Tail Policy would exceed such amount, Purchaser shall only be required to obtain a D&O Tail Policy with the greatest amount of coverage reasonably available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit the Company Group to, amend, repeal or modify (in a manner adverse to the beneficiary thereof) any provision in the Governing Documents of the Company Group relating to exculpation or indemnification of any officers, managers or directors, it being the intent of the parties hereto that the officers, managers and directors of the Company Group on prior to the Closing Date shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification by the Company Group to the full extent of the Law and Purchaser shall cause the Company Group to so exculpate and indemnify such officers, directors and managers. In the event Purchaser, the Company Group or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser or the Company Group, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 11.04.

Section 11.06. Employee Benefits.

(a) Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Company Group not to, at any time prior to ninety-one (91) calendar days after the Closing Date, effectuate a “mass layoff” or “plant closing” as that term is defined in WARN, or comparable conduct under any similar applicable state Law, affecting in whole or in part any facility, site of employment, operating unit or employee of the Company Group without complying fully with the requirements of WARN or such applicable state Law.

(b) For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide, or cause the Company Group to provide, to those individuals employed by the Company Group (including those on leave of absence) immediately prior to the Closing who continue to be employed by a Company Group following the Closing, (i) base salary or base wages, annual target cash bonus opportunities and long-term incentive compensation opportunities that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to such employees immediately prior to the Closing Date, provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, (A) long-term incentive compensation opportunities with respect to the 2022 fiscal year provided by the Company Group that are in effect at Closing will be honored by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the applicable arrangements, and (B) any long-term incentive compensation opportunities granted after Closing may be provided under incentive plans maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates; (ii) paid time off benefits (other than with respect to banking, which is addressed in the immediately following proviso) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to

such employees immediately prior to the Closing Date, provided that any accrued and unused leave banked by each such employee prior to January 1, 2023, will be honored by Purchaser in accordance with the terms and procedures of the Company Group’s leave policies by allowing employees to use such leave and, in the event of a transition to Purchaser’s or an Affiliate’s policies that do not provide for leave banking, paying to such employees the value of unused banked leave (up to Company Group policy limits of 240 hours) at the time of such transition; and (iii) employee benefits (excluding any equity and equity-based arrangements, deferred compensation, change-in-control, retention or transaction-related benefits, defined benefit pension benefits, paid time off benefits (which are addressed in clause (ii) of this Section 11.06(b)) and post-retirement welfare benefits) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the employee benefits provided to such employees (and their covered dependents and beneficiaries) immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company Group to, grant employees of the Company Group credit for service with the Company Group earned prior to the Closing Date for (i) vacation accrual and severance benefit determinations under the corresponding benefit plans available to such employees that may be established or maintained by Purchaser or the Company Group on or after the Closing (the “New Plans”), and (ii) eligibility to participate in elective employee deferrals and vesting of matching contributions (but for the avoidance of doubt, not for profit sharing or other discretionary contributions) under Purchaser’s 401(k) plan (for avoidance of doubt the Purchaser’s 401(k) plan shall be amended, if necessary, to accomplish the foregoing), to the extent that such service was credited for the same purpose for such employee under the corresponding Employee Plan as of the Closing Date and would not result in duplication of benefits. Purchaser will, or will cause the Company Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to: (A) waive or cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plan that is a group health plan, life insurance plan and/or disability benefit plan to the extent satisfied by a Company Group employee (including any covered dependent or beneficiary) under or waived by the corresponding Employee Plan as of the Closing Date; and (B) cause any covered expenses incurred in the course of the applicable health plan year that includes the Closing Date by any Company Group employee (or covered dependent thereof) to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance, maximum out-of-pocket or similar provisions under any New Plan in the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, to the extent such expenses would have been taken into account under the applicable Employee Plan.

(d) Nothing contained in Section 11.06(b) or Section 11.06(c) shall (i) create or confer any rights, remedies or claims upon any Company Group Personnel or any right of employment or continued employment or any particular term or condition of employment for any Person; (ii) be considered or deemed to establish, amend, or modify any Employee Plan; (iii) alter or limit the rights of the Purchaser or the Company Group to amend, modify or terminate any Employee Plan, New Plan or other employee benefit plan or arrangement; or (iv) confer any rights or benefits, including any third-party beneficiary rights, on any Person other than the parties to this Agreement.

(e) To the extent any individual may receive any payment or benefit that individually or in the aggregate would be a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then no later than five calendar days prior to the Closing, the Company Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take any actions necessary to submit for approval, in a manner that satisfies Sections 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) and 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the final Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, the right of each “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) (a “Disqualified Individual”) to receive or retain, as applicable, that portion of any payments and benefits that, together with any other payments and benefits the Disqualified Individual may become entitled to receive that may be considered “parachute payments” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, exceeds 299% of such Disqualified Individual’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code). Prior to soliciting any waivers or vote hereunder, the Company Group shall provide a draft of such waivers and such vote solicitation materials (together with the calculations and supporting documentation) to Purchaser for its review and comment. The Company Group shall consider in good faith all comments received from Purchaser. To the extent that any of the waived payments and benefits to a Disqualified Individual are not approved as contemplated above, such waived payments and benefits shall not be made or provided in any manner.

(f) If requested by Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company board (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions and take such corporate action as is necessary to terminate any 401(k) plans maintained by the Company Group (the “Company Group 401(k) Plan”), effective as of the day prior to the Closing Date. The Company Group shall provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such resolutions and any documents prepared in connection with such corporate actions prior to the adoption of such resolutions or taking of such action. If the Company Group 401(k) Plan is terminated, Purchaser shall allow all individuals who were participants in the Company Group 401(k) Plan to be immediately eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan sponsored by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries.

Section 11.07. Rep and Warranty Policy. The Seller Parties shall provide such reasonable cooperation to Purchaser as reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with Purchaser or its Affiliates obtaining the Rep and Warranty Policy. Such cooperation shall include provision to Purchaser of two complete copies of the electronic data room in a format and on media acceptable to the underwriter of the Rep and Warranty Policy. The Rep and Warranty Policy shall provide for a customary waiver of subrogation rights against the Sellers, subject to an exception for Fraud. Purchaser shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates to not) amend, modify or waive any provision in the Rep and Warranty Policy regarding the waiver of subrogation without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, to the extent it would be adverse to the Sellers. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all premiums, underwriting fees, costs and expenses associated with the Rep and Warranty Policy.

Section 11.08. Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representations; Non-Assertion of Attorney-Client Privilege.

(a) From and after the Closing, Purchaser and the Company waive and shall not assert, and agree to cause the Company Group to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation after the Closing of any Seller or the Company Group (any such Person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby by Ice Xxxxxx LLP (“IM”) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Current Representation”).

(b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser and the Company waive and shall not assert, and agree to cause the Company Group to waive and to not assert, any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between IM, on one hand, and any Designated Person, on the other hand, to the extent related to the Current Representation (collectively, the “Acquisition Privileged Communications”), including in connection with a dispute between the Seller Parties and Purchaser or the Company Group, it being the intention of the parties that all rights to such attorney-client privilege and to control such attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence shall be retained by the Designated Person and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or the Company Group unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Sellers’ Representative; provided that the foregoing waiver and acknowledgment of retention shall not extend to any communication to the extent not involving this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or to communications with any Person other than the Designated Persons.

(c) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that IM has obtained privileged and confidential information about the Company Group (the “Company Confidential Information”) in connection with its representation of the Company Group in the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company Confidential Information includes all privileged communications, whether written or electronic, including any privileged communications between IM, on the one hand, and the Company Group, on the other hand, and their respective Representatives, Personnel and Affiliates, and all files, attorney notes, drafts or other documents primarily relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby which predate the Closing (collectively, the “IM Work Product”). In the event of a dispute between the Seller Parties and Purchaser or the Company Group relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, to the extent that any Company Confidential Information is in IM’s possession as of the Closing Date, the Company Confidential Information may be used on behalf of any Seller in connection with such dispute at the sole discretion of such Seller. Purchaser and the Company waive, and agree to cause the Company Group to waive, the right to access any privileged IM Work Product, except as reasonably necessary in connection with an action which does not constitute a dispute between the Seller Parties and Purchaser or the Company Group relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser or the Company Group, on the one hand, and a third party other than the a Seller Party, on the other hand, Purchaser and the Company Group may assert the attorney-client privilege to

prevent the disclosure of the Acquisition Privileged Communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor the Company Group may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative. Purchaser and the Company hereby consent to the disclosure and use by IM for the benefit of Sellers of any information (confidential or otherwise) disclosed to it by the Company Group (including by their respective Representatives, Personnel and Affiliates) prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Purchaser, whether or not the Closing occurs, and the Company Group, if the Closing occurs, agrees that it will not, and that after the Closing it will cause the Company Group not to, except as may be required by law, (i) intentionally access or use the Acquisition Privileged Communications or the IM Work Product, including by way of review of any electronic data, communications or other information, or by seeking to have any Seller waive the attorney-client or other privilege, or by otherwise asserting that Purchaser or the Company Group has the right to waive the attorney-client or other privilege or (ii) seek to obtain the Acquisition Privileged Communications or the IM Work Product from IM; provided, that in the event that Purchaser or the Company Group is legally required to produce any Acquisition Privileged Communications in their possession, Purchaser shall, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify the Sellers’ Representative in writing so that the Sellers’ Representative can seek a protective order or take other appropriate action and Purchaser and the Company Group agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist therewith.

(e) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Section 11.08, including the opportunity to consult with counsel.

Section 11.09. Releases.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser and each Group Company on behalf of itself and Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Company Group), Representatives, members, stockholders, successors and assigns, and any other Person claiming by, through or under any of the foregoing, hereby fully, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, releases, acquits and forever discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Seller from any and all Proceedings, Liabilities, rights, costs, losses, expenses or compensation, of whatsoever kind or nature, in contract or in tort, at law or in equity, arising from any matter, circumstance, event, action, inaction, omission, cause or thing whatsoever arising prior to the Closing in respect of the management or operation, or any action taken or failed to be taken by such Persons in any capacity related to, the Company Group (collectively, the “Company Released Claims”); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Released Claims shall not include, and nothing in this Agreement shall release, waive, discharge, relinquish or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any Person with respect to, (i) enforcing this Agreement and the Related Agreements, (ii) any rights under any Contract between any Group Company, on the one hand, and any Seller, on the other hand (to the extent such Contract is not terminated at the Closing) and (iii) any claims for Fraud or claims that cannot be released as a matter of Law. This is a full and final release,

and Purchaser and each Group Company expressly waives any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any legal requirement of any state or territory (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) of the United States, or principle of common law, which is similar, comparable or equivalent to California Civil Code section 1542, as well as the rights and benefits conferred by California Civil Code section 1542 itself, which provides: “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.”

(b) Effective as of the Closing, each Seller on behalf of itself, herself or himself and its Affiliates, Representatives, members, stockholders, successors and assigns, and any other Person claiming by, through or under any of the foregoing, hereby fully, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, releases, acquits and forever discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Purchaser and each Group Company from any and all Proceedings, Liabilities, rights, costs, losses, expenses or compensation, of whatsoever kind or nature, in contract or in tort, at law or in equity, arising from any matter, circumstance, event, action, inaction, omission, cause or thing whatsoever arising prior to the Closing in respect of the management or operation, or any action taken or failed to be taken by such Persons in any capacity related to, the Company Group (collectively, the “Seller Released Claims”); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Released Claims shall not include, and nothing in this Agreement shall release, waive, discharge, relinquish or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any Person with respect to, (i) enforcing this Agreement and the Related Agreements, (ii) any rights under any Contract between any Group Company, on the one hand, and Seller, or any Affiliate thereof, on the other (to the extent such Contract is not terminated at the Closing), (iii) any claims for Fraud or claims that cannot be released as a matter of Law, (iv) any accrued and unpaid salary and benefits pursuant to the employment of such Seller by the Company Group prior to the Closing and (v) any rights or claims under the D&O Tail Policy. This is a full and final release, and each Seller expressly waives any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any legal requirement of any state or territory (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) of the United States, or principle of common law, which is similar, comparable or equivalent to California Civil Code section 1542, as well as the rights and benefits conferred by California Civil Code section 1542 itself, which provides: “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.”

Section 11.10. Post-Closing Retention Bonuses. Purchaser and Sellers hereby agree that a portion of the aggregate Earn-Out Payments that become due and payable to the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.07 shall be used by the Company (and Purchaser shall cause the Company) to pay those individuals set forth on Section 11.10 of the Disclosure Schedules the individual amounts set forth therein, as retention bonus payments, less applicable withholding taxes, pursuant to a retention bonus plan (“Retention Bonus Plan”). The terms of the Retention Bonus Plan will be

mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Sellers after the signing of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, and shall include those terms set forth on Section 11.10 of the Disclosure Schedules.

ARTICLE XII.

SELLERS’ REPRESENTATIVE

Section 12.01. Appointment of the Sellers’ Representative.

(a) By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Xxxxxxx Xxxx as the initial true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Sellers’ Representative”) of such Seller with full authority and power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of such Seller with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative has full power and authority, on behalf of each Seller and his successors and assigns, to (i) interpret the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, (ii) execute and deliver and receive deliveries of all agreements, amendments, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) negotiate and settle any dispute related to any post-Closing Purchase Price adjustments as contemplated by Section 1.05 including by making or authorizing any payment to Purchaser on behalf of Sellers from the Working Capital Escrow Amount in connection therewith, (iv) receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement, (v) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, pay on behalf of Sellers, and assume the defense of, any claims, and initiate claims and comply with orders and judgments with respect to such claims, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Sellers’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, (vi) give and receive notices and communications, (vii) object to deliveries of the Working Capital Escrow Amount for Purchase Price adjustments, respectively, (viii) distribute any portion of the Working Capital Escrow Amount or the Adjustment Amount received by the Sellers’ Representative to Sellers, (ix) prepare and deliver the Payment Spreadsheet, (x) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of Sellers in connection with this Agreement, and (xi) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01.

(b) Purchaser, and any other Person, may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any consent, approval or action of the Sellers’ Representative as the consent, approval or action, as the case may be, of each Seller individually and all Sellers as a group in all matters referred to herein, and each Seller confirms all that the Sellers’ Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of its appointment as the Sellers’ Representative. If for any reason there is no Sellers’ Representative at any time, all references herein or in any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby to the Sellers’ Representative in which the Sellers’ Representative is authorized to act on behalf

of the Sellers shall be deemed to refer to the Sellers holding a majority of the Units, taken as a whole. Any payment by Purchaser to the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement shall be considered a payment by Purchaser to the Sellers and Purchaser shall have no liability for any claim by any Seller that it did not receive the portion of such payment that such Seller was entitled to under this Agreement or otherwise. Notices given to the Sellers’ Representative in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute notice to the Sellers for all purposes under this Agreement.

(c) Each Seller covenants and agrees that he, she or it shall not voluntarily revoke the power of attorney conferred in this Section 12.01. If any Seller dies or becomes incapacitated, disabled or incompetent (such deceased, incapacitated, disabled or incompetent Seller being a “Former Seller”) and, as a result, the power of attorney conferred by this Section 12.01 is revoked by operation of law, it shall not be a breach by such Former Seller under this Agreement so long as the heirs, beneficiaries, estate, administrator, executor, guardian, conservator or other legal representative of such Former Seller (each a “Successor Seller”) confirm the appointment of the Sellers’ Representative as agent and attorneys-in-fact for such Successor Seller.

(d) Each Seller hereby consents and agrees to all actions or inactions taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representative from and against all damages, losses, Liabilities, charges, penalties, costs and expenses (including court costs and legal fees and expenses) incurred in any claim, dispute or Proceeding between the Sellers’ Representative and Sellers (or any of them) or between the Sellers’ Representative and any third party or otherwise incurred or suffered as a result of or arising out of such actions or inactions.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sellers’ Representative shall not have any authority to amend this Agreement or any Related Agreement, or otherwise take any action on behalf of any Seller, if such amendment or action would (A) adversely and disproportionately affect a Seller relative to other Sellers, without the prior written of consent of such Seller, (B) increase the liability of a Seller relative to other Sellers under this Agreement, any Related Agreement or in connection with this Agreement beyond the liability agreed to by such Seller on the Closing, without the prior written of consent of such Seller, and/or (C) subject a Seller to any restrictive covenants (e.g., noncompetition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement or confidentiality) beyond those restrictive covenants agreed to by such Seller on the Closing, without the prior written of consent of such Seller.

Section 12.02. Administrative Expense Account.

(a) The Sellers’ Representative shall hold the Administrative Expense Amount in the Administrative Expense Account as a fund from which the Sellers’ Representative may pay any amounts due by Sellers hereunder, including for any Taxes (and preparation of Tax Returns) and for any losses, third-party fees, expenses or costs it incurs in performing its duties and obligations under this Agreement by or on behalf of Sellers, including losses, fees, costs and expenses incurred pursuant to the procedures and

provisions set forth in Section 1.05 and Article XI and legal, accounting and consultant fees, expenses and costs for reviewing, analyzing and defending any claim or process arising under or pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Administrative Costs”).

(b) Amounts drawn from the Administrative Expense Account to pay Administrative Costs shall be drawn to reflect each Seller’s liability for such Administrative Costs in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share.

(c) At such time, and from time to time, as the Sellers’ Representative determines in its good faith discretion that the Administrative Expense Amount will not be required for the payment of Administrative Costs, the Sellers’ Representative shall distribute to each Seller its respective Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining in the Administrative Expense Account.

(d) The Sellers’ Representative shall report and withhold any Taxes (from amounts paid by or from the Administrative Expense Account) as it determines may be required by any Law or regulation in effect at the time of any distribution.

ARTICLE XIII.

(a) The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, and, in the event of an ambiguity or a question of intent or a need for interpretation arises, this Agreement and the Related Agreements shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements.

Disclosure of any fact or item in any section of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other section of the Disclosure Schedules, but only to the extent that the import for such other sections is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure as so made.

(c) Words of any gender used in this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements shall be held and construed to include any other gender; words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and words in the plural shall be held to include the singular, unless and only to the extent the context indicates otherwise.

(d) “Hereunder,” “hereof,” “hereto,” “herein,” and words of similar import shall be deemed references to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular article, section or other provision hereof.

(e) “Including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term.

(f) “Or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or.”

(g) The words “shall,” “will,” “shall not” and “will not” are expressions of command and not merely expressions of future intent or expectation.

(i) If any period expires on a day which is not a Business Day or any event or condition is required by the terms of this Agreement to occur or be fulfilled on a day which is not a Business Day, such period shall expire or such event or condition shall occur or be fulfilled, as the case may be, on the next succeeding Business Day;

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law: (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the Related

Agreements can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the party sought to be charged thereon; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party shall be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements.
