(ii) to a segregated account of the Company designated in writing by the Company at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, by Wire Transfer, an amount equal to the aggregate Closing Option Payments (as reflected in the Holder Payment Schedule) of each holder of Vested Option Shares, which amount shall be allocated and paid to the holders of Vested Option Shares in accordance with Section 3.3;

(iii) to a segregated account designated by the Paying Agent at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, solely for the benefit of the Stockholders that have not delivered duly completed and validly executed Surrender Documentation at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date (such account, the “Unclaimed Account” and such Stockholders, “Late Stockholders”), by Wire Transfer, an amount equal to the sum of the amounts of the Net Estimated Closing Payment Amount allocated and payable to each such Late Stockholder (other than any amounts payable in respect of Vested Option Shares held by such Late Stockholder, as reflected on the Estimated Closing Statement, which shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation, in accordance with the mechanics described in Section 3.3 or in respect of Dissenting Shares), which deposit shall be used solely and exclusively for purposes of paying to each such Late Stockholder the consideration payable to such Late Stockholder as specified in Section 3.1(b). Such payment shall satisfy in full all payment obligations of the Surviving Corporation to any such Late Stockholders with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by such Late Stockholders, and thereafter such Late Stockholders shall only look to the Paying Agent for payment hereunder. Following the Closing, upon

delivery by any Late Stockholder to Parent or the Surviving Corporation of duly completed and validly executed Surrender Documentation, (i) Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall promptly (and, in any event, not later than two Business Days after receipt of the duly completed and validly executed Surrender Documentation) notify the Paying Agent of such receipt and (ii) Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall promptly direct the Paying Agent to promptly (and, in any event, not later than five Business Days after such receipt) pay to such Late Stockholder cash in an amount equal to the amount of the Net Estimated Closing Payment Amount allocated and payable to such Late Stockholder, as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, which amounts shall be paid by Wire Transfer in accordance with the instructions provided by such Late Stockholder (except for any amounts allocated and payable in respect of Vested Option Shares held by such Late Stockholder, as reflected on the Estimated Closing Statement, which shall be by the Surviving Corporation, in accordance with the mechanics described in Section 3.3). No interest will be paid or will accrue on the cash payable to any Holder pursuant to this Section 3.5(a)(iii) or Section 3.3;

(iv) to the Escrow Agent, cash equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount for deposit into the Adjustment Escrow Account and cash equal to the Indemnity Escrow Amount for deposit into the Indemnity Escrow Account. Any cash distributed to the Holders pursuant to the Escrow Agreement shall be deemed part of the Aggregate Merger Consideration; and

(v) to a segregated account designated by the Equityholders’ Representative on behalf of the Holders at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Equityholders’ Representative Expense Account”), the Equityholders’ Representative Expense Amount to be held and used by the Equityholders’ Representative in accordance with Section 11.17(f).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may withhold a portion of the Estimated Closing Merger Consideration with respect to any Person that has executed an employment agreement that contains rollover or investment commitments from such employee, with the amount so withheld to be in accordance with the terms of such employment agreement, including any condition that such person must be employed as of the Closing for such rollover or investment to be required.

(b) At or prior to the Closing, in respect of the Merger, the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the applicable third parties by Wire Transfer the amounts due and owing from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to such third parties as Transaction Expenses, as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement.

3.6 Holders of the Company. At least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall mail to each Person who is a holder of record, in the books and records of the Company, of (i) outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Share Letter of Transmittal and any other required Surrender Documentation, and (ii) a Vested Option Share, an Option Letter of Transmittal and any other required Surrender Documentation.

3.7 Payments to Persons Other than Registered Holders. If any consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person who is the registered holder, in the books and records

of the Company, of shares of Common Stock or Vested Option Shares, as applicable, it shall be a condition to such exchange that the Person requesting such exchange shall deliver all documents reasonably requested by Parent and the Company or the Surviving Corporation to evidence and effect such transfer and shall pay to the Surviving Corporation any transfer or other Taxes payable by the Surviving Corporation required by reason of the payment of such consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such shares of Common Stock or Vested Option Shares, as applicable, or such Person shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

3.8 Withholding Tax. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Article III, including payments made under the Escrow Agreement, such amounts required to be deducted or withheld with respect to such payment under applicable Tax Law; provided that, if the Company delivers to Parent a fully executed FIRPTA Certificate, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be entitled to deduct or withhold any amounts from such considerations pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code except otherwise required by changes in Law. Any amounts so withheld shall be timely and properly paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by Parent or the Surviving Corporation and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

3.9 No Liability for Abandoned Property. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Holder for any amounts paid or property delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

3.10 Return of Funds. On the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, any funds remaining in the Unclaimed Account or the segregated account of the Company described in Section 3.5(a)(ii) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation (and any such cash (a) not already in an account of the Company shall be transferred to the Surviving Corporation by the Paying Agent by Wire Transfer and (b) may be comingled with the general funds of the Surviving Corporation), free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto (other than the claims of the applicable Holder and its heirs, assigns and transferees hereunder)), and such Holder shall look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of such amounts.

3.11 Adjustments to Estimated Closing Merger Consideration.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date (and, in any event, not later than ninety (90) days thereafter) Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Equityholders’ Representative:

(i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Measurement Time and a schedule setting forth the calculation of the Closing Book Value; and

(ii) Parent’s calculation of the Closing Transaction Expenses, the Income Tax Liability Amount, the Aggregate Merger Consideration and the Per Share Merger Consideration (together with the documents contemplated by Section 3.11(a)(i), the “Initial Closing Statement”).

(b) The Initial Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles. If Parent fails to deliver an Initial Closing Statement within the time period contemplated by Section 3.11(a), then, at the election of the Equityholders’ Representative (in its sole discretion), either (i) the Estimated Closing Statement shall be final and binding on all parties hereto or (ii) within twenty (20) days following the expiration of the ninety (90) day period provided in Section 3.11(a), the Equityholders’ Representative shall retain (at the expense of Parent) an accounting firm to provide an audit or other review of the Estimated Closing Statement and make any adjustments necessary thereto consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.11, and the resulting calculation shall be final and binding on all parties hereto. If the Equityholders’ Representative so retains an accounting firm (the “Equityholders’ Representative Accounting Firm”), then, until the Aggregate Merger Consideration is finally determined by the Equityholders’ Representative Accounting Firm, Parent shall provide the Equityholders’ Representative Accounting Firm with reasonable access to (x) any and all books, records, workpapers, Contracts and other documents of Parent and its Affiliates relating to the Equityholders’ Representative Accounting Firm’s audit or other review of the Estimated Closing Statement and (y) the employees, accountants, attorneys and other representatives of Parent and its Affiliates, in each case, during normal business hours (in each case of clauses (x) and (y) subject to the entry into customary confidentiality agreements and access letters and with such access being solely for the purpose of enabling the Equityholders’ Representative Accounting Firm to conduct the review contemplated herein and in a manner that does not interfere, in any material respect, with the normal business operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries).

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge that the Estimated Closing Statement delivered by the Company to Parent pursuant to Section 3.4(b) will be prepared and delivered prior to the Closing Date and, therefore, the amounts set forth therein are estimates and may be different than the actual amount of such items at the Measurement Time. Accordingly, Sections 3.11 and 3.12 set forth the process by which the amounts set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement may be adjusted; provided that, in order to ensure that the adjustment of any such amount set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement reflects an adjustment only between the estimate thereof and the actual amount thereof, each component thereof shall be finally and solely determined consistent with the definitions of such terms and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles, in calculating any such items, as the sole purpose of the adjustment contemplated by Sections 3.11 and 3.12 is to measure the difference, if any, between the estimate of an amount of item set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement and the actual amount of such item as of the Measurement Time. Accordingly, none of the Equityholders’ Representative, Parent or any Accounting Firm shall give effect to or consider any event or circumstance occurring after the Measurement Time except to the extent provided for in the Accounting Principles.

(d) During the thirty (30) day period immediately following the Equityholders’ Representative’s receipt of the Initial Closing Statement (the “Review Period”),

Parent shall provide the Equityholders’ Representative and its representatives with reasonable access to (i) the books, records and workpapers of Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) relating to the Initial Closing Statement and (ii) the employees of Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) who assisted in the preparation of the Initial Closing Statement, in each case, during normal business hours (in each case subject to the entry into customary confidentiality agreements and access letters and with such access being solely for the purpose of enabling the Equityholders’ Representative and its representatives to conduct the review contemplated herein and in a manner that does not interfere, in any material respect, with the normal business operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries). Parent agrees that, following the Closing through the date that the Final Closing Statement becomes final and binding in accordance with Section 3.12, Parent will (and will cause its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, to) not take, or permit to be taken, any actions with respect to any accounting books, records, policies or procedures on which any item in the Initial Closing Statement is based, or upon which the Final Closing Statement is to be based, that would impede or delay the determination of the amount of any of the items in the Initial Closing Statement or the preparation of any Notice of Disagreement (as defined below) or the Final Closing Statement.

3.12 Reconciliation of Estimated Closing Statement; Adjustment.

(a) The Equityholders’ Representative shall notify Parent in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”) prior to the expiration of the Review Period if the Equityholders’ Representative disagrees with the Initial Closing Statement. The Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the (i) basis for such dispute, (ii) amounts involved and (iii) Equityholders’ Representative’s determination of the amounts of the Closing Book Value as of the Measurement Time, the Closing Transaction Expenses, the Income Tax Liability Amount, the Aggregate Merger Consideration and Per Share Merger Consideration. If no Notice of Disagreement is delivered by Equityholders’ Representative prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then the Initial Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Equityholders’ Representative and shall become final and binding upon the parties hereto in accordance with Section 3.12(e).

(b) During the twenty (20) days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement (the “Consultation Period”), the Equityholders’ Representative and Parent shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If, during the Consultation Period, the Equityholders’ Representative and Parent mutually agree upon any matters set forth in the Notice of Disagreement, they shall signify such agreement in a writing signed by both such parties. All negotiations pursuant to this Section 3.12(b) shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable state rules of evidence.

(c) If the Equityholders’ Representative and Parent have been unable to resolve one or more of the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, then, at the end of the Consultation Period, the Equityholders’ Representative or Parent may submit such matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Notice of Disagreement to the Accounting Firm (each, a “Disputed Item”). If requested by the Accounting Firm, each of Equityholders’

Representative and Parent agrees that it will enter into a customary engagement letter with the Accounting Firm and provide customary indemnities in favor of the Accounting Firm. At the time of the submission of the Disputed Items to the Accounting Firm, each of the Equityholders’ Representative and Parent shall submit to the Accounting Firm a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail their respective positions with respect to the Disputed Items. The Equityholders’ Representative and Parent shall also have the opportunity to submit a written response to the other party’s written statement to the Accounting Firm, no later than ten (10) days following the date of receipt of such other party’s initial written statement. The failure of either such party to deliver its initial written statement by the end of the Consultation Period or response to such other party’s initial written statement within ten (10) days of receipt thereof shall constitute a waiver of such party’s right to submit the same, unless the Accounting Firm determines otherwise. During a review by the Accounting Firm, each of Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative and their respective accountants will make available to the Accounting Firm individuals, information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably requested by the Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations under Section 3.11(b)(ii), this Section 3.12(c) and Section 3.12(d); provided, however, that the Equityholders’ Representative’s and Parent’s respective accountants shall not be obligated to make any work papers available to the Accounting Firm or to the other party except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after the Accounting Firm or the other party (as applicable) has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants. The Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, and shall only consider the Disputed Items. All written communications to or from the Accounting Firm, on the one hand, and the Equityholders’ Representative or Parent (or any of their respective representatives), on the other hand, shall be delivered simultaneously to the Equityholders’ Representative and Parent, as applicable. In determining the Disputed Items, the Accounting Firm shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement (including the Accounting Principles) and shall not conduct any independent review of any matters. The Accounting Firm’s determination of the Disputed Items under this Section 3.12(c) shall be based solely on the submissions to the Accounting Firm by the Equityholders’ Representative and Parent and the terms and definitions of this Agreement (including the Accounting Principles), and not on the basis of independent review. Neither Parent nor the Equityholders’ Representative may disclose to the Accounting Firm and the Accounting Firm may not consider for any purpose, any settlement discussions or settlement offer(s) made by or on behalf of either Parent or the Equityholders’ Representative unless otherwise agreed by the other party.

(d) With respect to each Disputed Item, the Accounting Firm’s determination, if not in accordance with the position of either the Equityholders’ Representative or Parent, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by the Equityholders’ Representative in the Notice of Disagreement or by Parent in the Initial Closing Statement with respect to such disputed line item. During such determination period, the Accounting Firm also shall be instructed to (i) prepare an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as of the Measurement Time, based upon the (x) line items not disputed by the Equityholders’ Representative and Parent and (y) disputed line items as determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the foregoing provisions and (ii) determine the amount of the Closing Book Value reflected on such balance sheet. The Equityholders’ Representative and Parent shall instruct the Accounting Firm to (A) make a final

determination only in respect of Disputed Items, (B) make such determination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles and (C) deliver such determination to such parties within thirty (30) Business Days after such submission, which determination shall be binding on the parties hereto and shall not be subject to appeal (absent manifest or mathematical error); provided that the failure of the Accounting Firm to deliver its written decision within such time period shall not constitute a defense or objection to the finality or enforcement of such determination. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as of the Measurement Time, that is final and binding on the parties hereto, as determined either through Section 3.11(b), Section 3.12(a), Section 3.12(b) or this Section 3.12(d), is referred to as the “Final Balance Sheet”; the amount of Closing Book Value set forth therein is referred to as the “Final Closing Book Value”; and the Closing Transaction Expenses and Income Tax Liability Amount that is final and binding on the parties hereto, as determined either through Section 3.11(b), Section 3.12(a), Section 3.12(b) or this Section 3.12(d), is referred to as the “Final Closing Transaction Expense” and “Final Income Tax Liability Amount”, respectively. The “Final Closing Statement” shall set forth (x) the Final Balance Sheet, the Final Closing Transaction Expenses, the Final Income Tax Liability Amount and the Final Closing Book Value and (y) based on the foregoing, the Aggregate Merger Consideration (the “Final Merger Consideration”), the Per Share Merger Consideration and an updated version of the Holder Payment Schedule, reflecting allocation amongst the Holders of an aggregate amount equal to the Aggregate Merger Consideration set forth therein. The cost of, and expenses associated with, the Accounting Firm’s review and determination shall be allocated between Parent, on the one hand, and the Equityholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Holders), on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the Disputed Items submitted to the Accounting Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of such Disputed Items so submitted, such that the prevailing party pays the lesser proportion of such fees, costs and expenses.

(e) Not later than three (3) Business Days after the Final Closing Statement is final and binding on the parties hereto, as determined either through Section 3.11(b), Section 3.12(a), Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(d):

(i) If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive amount, then (A) Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver a joint instruction letter to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to promptly (and, in any event, not later than two Business Days following receipt thereof) release the Adjustment Escrow Amount less the employer portion of any payroll Taxes imposed with respect to such amount payable to the holders of Company Options and the EBU Holders as follows: (x) twenty percent (20%) of such released amount to the EBU Holders based on the applicable percentage opposite such EBU Holder’s name on the Holder Payment Schedule under the heading “Unitas Holdings Corp. EBU Ownership Ledger” and (y) eighty percent (80%) of such released amount to the Holders (other than a Holder of Dissenting Shares in respect of such Dissenting Shares) based on the percentage of the aggregate amount of the Closing Stock Consideration and Closing Option Payments that the applicable Holder became entitled to receive at the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided that any amounts payable to holders of Company Options or to the EBU Holders shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation, and the employer

portion of any payroll Taxes imposed with respect to such amount payable to the holders of Company Options and the EBU Holders shall be released to the Surviving Corporation (and the Surviving Corporation shall use such increased amount to pay such payroll Taxes), and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay all such amounts payable to the holders of Company Options in accordance with the mechanics described in Section 3.3 and payable to the EBU Holders in accordance with terms of the applicable governing documents and, in any event, at or about the same time as payments are made to the other Holders (other than a Holder of Dissenting Shares in respect of such Dissenting Shares), and (B) Parent shall pay in cash to an account designated by Paying Agent (to be distributed in accordance with the forgoing clause (A)) the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment.

(ii) If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative amount, then Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver a joint instruction letter to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to promptly (and, in any event, not later than two Business Days following receipt thereof) (A) release to an account designated by Parent in such joint instruction letter an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the absolute value of the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment and (2) the Adjustment Escrow Amount (such lesser amount, the “Parent Adjustment Amount”), from the Adjustment Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and (B) release the remainder of the funds in the Adjustment Escrow Account less the employer portion of any payroll Taxes imposed with respect to such amount payable to the holders of Company Options and the EBU Holders as follows: (x) twenty percent (20%) of the amount (if any) by which the Adjustment Escrow Amount exceeds the Parent Adjustment Amount to the EBU Holders based on the applicable percentage opposite such EBU Holder’s name on the Holder Payment Schedule under the heading “Unitas Holdings Corp. EBU Ownership Ledger” and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the amount (if any) by which the Adjustment Escrow Amount exceeds the Parent Adjustment Amount to the Holders (other than a Holder of Dissenting Shares in respect of such Dissenting Shares) based on the percentage of the aggregate amount of the Closing Stock Consideration and Closing Option Payments that the applicable Holder became entitled to receive at the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided that any amounts payable to holders of Company Options or to the EBU Holders shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation, and the employer portion of any payroll Taxes imposed with respect to such amount payable to the holders of Company Options and the EBU Holders shall be released to the Surviving Corporation (and the Surviving Corporation shall use such increased amount to pay such payroll Taxes), and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay all such amounts payable to the holders of Company Options in accordance with the mechanics described in Section 3.3 and payable to the EBU Holders in accordance with terms of the applicable governing documents and, in any event, at or about the same time as payments are made to the other Holders (other than a Holder of Dissenting Shares in respect of such Dissenting Shares). In no event will the Holders or the Equityholders’ Representative be liable to Parent in respect of the Parent Adjustment Amount for any amount, and Parent’s sole recourse with respect to recovery of the Parent Adjustment Amount shall be payment of the Parent Adjustment Amount (and, if the Post-Closing Adjustment is in excess of the Adjustment Escrow Amount, Parent is entitled to elect that any such excess may be released from the

Indemnity Escrow Account) to an account designated by Parent from the Adjustment Escrow Amount remaining in the Adjustment Escrow Account (and, if applicable the Indemnity Escrow Account).

(iii) If the Post-Closing Adjustment is zero, then Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver a joint instruction letter to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to promptly (and, in any event, not later than two Business Days following receipt thereof) release the Adjustment Escrow Amount less the employer portion of any payroll Taxes imposed with respect to such amount payable to the holders of Company Options and the EBU Holders as follows: (x) twenty percent (20%) of the Adjustment Escrow Amount to the EBU Holders based on the applicable percentage opposite such EBU Holder’s name on the Holder Payment Schedule under the heading “Unitas Holdings Corp. EBU Ownership Ledger” and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the Adjustment Escrow Amount to the Holders (other than a Holder of Dissenting Shares in respect of such Dissenting Shares) based on the percentage of the aggregate amount of the Closing Stock Consideration and Closing Option Payments that the applicable Holder became entitled to receive at the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided that any amounts payable to holders of Company Options or to the EBU Holders shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation, and the employer portion of any payroll Taxes imposed with respect to such amount payable to the holders of Company Options and the EBU Holders shall be released to the Surviving Corporation (and the Surviving Corporation shall use such increased amount to pay such payroll Taxes), and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay all such amounts payable to the holders of Company Options in accordance with the mechanics described in Section 3.3 and payable to the EBU Holders in accordance with terms of the applicable governing documents and, in any event, at or about the same time as payments are made to the other Holders (other than a Holder of Dissenting Shares in respect of such Dissenting Shares).

(f) “Post-Closing Adjustment” means the amount of equal to (i) the Final Merger Consideration minus (ii) the Estimated Closing Merger Consideration.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any payments under this Section 3.12 or pursuant to the Escrow Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Aggregate Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by Law.

Furthermore, Parent and the Company may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material to be provided to the other under this Section 6.2(b) as “Outside Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Parent or the Company, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or Section 6.2(a), (A) the Company shall prepare and file or submit, or cause to be prepared and filed or submitted, all required notices, applications, documents, and instruments necessary to obtain all Governmental Approvals, (B) in consultation with Parent, the Company shall manage, direct and control the responses and communications in respect of all inquiries or requests for additional information from any Governmental Authority in respect of any Governmental Approval; provided that all appearances, submissions, presentations, briefs and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of Parent or any of its Affiliates before any

Governmental Authority shall be controlled by Parent and (C) Parent shall provide or complete, or cause to be provided or completed, such information or actions as are reasonably required by the Company and necessary or customary in connection with obtaining the Governmental Approvals, including providing information regarding Parent, its Affiliates, their respective principals, officers and control persons, as promptly as reasonably practicable. The Company and Parent will reasonably consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all Governmental Approvals necessary or advisable to consummate the Transaction, including the Required Regulatory Approvals, and will keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the Transactions.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants contained in Sections 6.2(a) and 6.2(b) but subject to the other terms and conditions in this Section 6.2(c), Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to take any and all steps not prohibited by Law to (i) avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned, any decree, judgment, injunction or other Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing on or before the Termination Date, including defending (with reasonable best efforts to resolve prior to the Termination Date) through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in any court with respect to the Merger by the FTC, the DOJ or any other applicable Governmental Authority or any private party; and (ii) resolve any objections asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement or the Merger and avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under the HSR Act, any State Approval or any other Laws so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as practicable (and, in any event, not later than the Termination Date), including (x) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of such businesses, product lines or assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) and (y) otherwise taking or committing to take actions that after the Closing would limit Parent’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ (including the Surviving Corporation’s and its Subsidiaries’) freedom of action with respect to, or its or their ability to operate and/or retain, one or more of the businesses, product lines or assets of Parent and/or its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries); provided, however, that any action contemplated by clauses (x) and (y) is conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger. In the event that any Action by a Governmental Authority or other Person is commenced that questions the validity or legality of the Merger or seeks damages in connection therewith, the parties hereto agree to cooperate and use all reasonable efforts to defend against such proceeding and, if an injunction or other Order is issued in any such Action, to use all reasonable efforts to have such injunction or other Order lifted, and to cooperate reasonably regarding any other impediment to the consummation of the Merger. The foregoing agreement in this section is made solely to facilitate the Closing and does not constitute a representation or admission that the Merger, if consummated without any modification, would violate any Law or that agreeing to any divestitures, hold separate conditions or other restrictions permitted herein or suggested by any Person or authority acting under any Law would not be harmful or adverse to the parties.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require (or be deemed to require) Parent or any of its Affiliates to agree to or commit to any sale, divestiture or disposition (or otherwise limit their freedom of actions with respect to) any business lines, products or assets or that would, individually or in the aggregate,

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as applied mutatis mutandis to Parent and its Subsidiaries) on (A) the Company and its Subsidiaries or (B) on Parent and its Subsidiaries (but assuming for the purposes of this clause (B) that the business and operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, were of the same size and magnitude as the business and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole).

(e) Except for the Merger, Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into a definitive agreement relating to (or the consummation of) such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any delay in obtaining, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any Governmental Approval or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger or (iii) delay the consummation of the Merger.

(b) Except (i) as set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule; (ii) as contemplated or required by this Agreement or any of the Related Documents; (iii) as the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may determine is required or reasonably necessary in response to any Pandemic Measure or otherwise to protect the health and safety of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in connection with any Pandemic; provided

6.4 Resignations. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the individuals requested by Parent not later than five Business Days prior to Closing Date to resign as officers and/or directors or managers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, effective as of the Effective Time; provided that (a) such resignations will in no way be considered a termination of employment or impact any employment arrangements or agreements and (b) the failure to obtain any such resignation(s) shall not (i) constitute a failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Article VIII or (ii) relieve any party hereto from its obligation to consummate the Merger.

6.5 Stockholder Approval.

6.6 Access to Information; Confidentiality; Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall (with Parent to bear any out of pocket costs and expenses of Parent), provide Parent and Parent’s authorized agents and representatives reasonable access, at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance written notice, to the executive officers, properties, offices, books, financial information, Contracts and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, during such period, furnish reasonably promptly such information concerning the businesses, properties and

personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent shall reasonably request in writing; provided, however, that (i) such activities are conducted during normal business hours under reasonable circumstances and do not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) Parent and its authorized agents and representatives shall not contact or otherwise communicate with the employees, customers or suppliers of the Company or its Subsidiaries, in each case, regarding the Transactions, unless, in each instance, approved in writing in advance by the Equityholders’ Representative, (iii) Parent and its authorized agents and representatives shall have no right to perform environmental testing or invasive or subsurface investigations of any Leased Real Property, (iv) such access or related activities shall not cause a violation or breach of any Law or Contract to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is a party or their assets are bound, (v) any physical access to the properties, information and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries may be limited, restricted or prohibited if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries reasonably determines that such limitation, restriction or prohibition may be necessary, appropriate or advisable in response to any Pandemic Measure or otherwise to protect the health and safety of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in connection with any Pandemic, and (vi) nothing herein shall require the Company or its Subsidiaries to furnish or provide access to Parent or its authorized agents or representatives information that (x) may be subject to an attorney/client or an attorney work-product privilege or may be subject to confidentiality restrictions or (y) legal counsel for the Company reasonably concludes may give rise to antitrust or competition law issues or violate a protective order or otherwise may not be disclosed pursuant to Law or any confidentiality obligation binding on the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, in each case of this clause (vi), the Company and Parent shall work in good faith on alternative means of disclosure that will not reasonably be expected to result in such loss of privilege or violation of any such Laws or confidentiality obligations. When exercising their rights under this paragraph, Parent and its authorized agents and representatives shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the business and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b) Any information provided to or obtained by Parent or its authorized agents or representatives pursuant to Section 6.6(a) will be subject to the terms of the confidentiality letter agreement, dated June 10, 2021, entered into by Parent and United PanAm Financial Corp. (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms expressly set forth in this Agreement (rather than incorporated by reference herein) and the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will govern. The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

6.7 Consents. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that consents to the Merger may be required from parties to Contracts. Parent and Merger Sub agree that neither the Company nor any of the Holders shall have any liability whatsoever to Parent or Merger Sub (and Parent and Merger Sub shall not be entitled to assert any claims) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consents or because of the default, acceleration or termination or loss of right under any such Contract as a result thereof; provided that the foregoing does not limit Parent’s remedies for any breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.6 of this Agreement.

6.8 Termination of Affiliate Obligations. The Company shall take all necessary actions such that, effective as of the Closing (except as set forth on Section 6.8 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, with respect to any Employee Benefit Plans, this Agreement and any Company Documents, or agreements, liabilities and obligations between the Company, on the one hand, and one or more of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, or between Subsidiaries of the Company), all agreements between the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and one or more Affiliates of the Company (other than any of the Company’s Subsidiaries) or any of the Portfolio Companies, on the other hand, shall be terminated and all liabilities between such parties shall be settled and satisfied with no further liability or obligation on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company shall deliver to Parent written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent of each such termination prior to the Closing.

6.9 280G. No later than the twelfth (12th) day following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall obtain a waiver of the right to receive payments that could constitute “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder (a “Parachute Payment Waiver”) from each Person whom the Company and/or Parent reasonably believes is, with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) and whom the Company and/or Parent believes might otherwise receive, have received, or have the right or entitlement to receive any parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code, and the Company shall deliver each such Parachute Payment Waiver to Parent on or before the Closing. No later than the fifteenth (15th) day after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders to vote upon the 280G Shareholder Vote (as defined below); provided that the Company may, at the time during such meeting, adjourn such meeting to another date and time for any reason. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval by such number of shareholders of the Company as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code so as to render the parachute payment provisions of Section 280G of the Code inapplicable to any and all payments and/or benefits provided pursuant to contracts or arrangements that, in the absence of the executed Parachute Payment Waivers by the affected Persons herein, might otherwise result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any amount and/or the provision of any benefit that would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code, with such stockholder approval to be obtained in a manner which satisfies all applicable requirements of such Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such Treasury Regulations (the “280G Shareholder Vote”). The Company shall forward to Parent at least seven (7) days prior to the date on which the Company intends to obtain the Parachute Payment Waivers, and allow Parent to review and comment upon, prior to submission to the shareholders of the Company, copies of all documents (including any 280G analysis) prepared for purposes of complying with this provision and shall consider any such comments in good faith. The Company shall require such vote with respect to approval be received at least one day prior to Closing and use its reasonable best efforts to collect all votes by such date. For purposes of this Section 6.9, if the last day of any such time period set forth herein is a non-Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.

6.10 Securitizations. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis regarding any new securitizations, and the Company shall discuss in good faith with Parent, and use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve, a structure for any such

securitization that allows for “off balance sheet” treatment to the maximum extent possible. In the event the Company reasonably determines that such treatment will not be achievable, the Company will notify Parent and discuss the reasons therefor. Following such discussion, the Company shall be entitled to proceed with such securitization subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. In such a case, or if the Company determines that such securitization will be achievable, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis regarding such securitization, including sharing with Parent drafts of proposed documentation and offering documentation with respect thereto.

6.11 Reviewed Financial Statements. As soon as reasonably practicable following September 30, 2021, the Company will prepare and deliver to Parent the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2021 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, which shall be reviewed by the Company’s independent auditors as provided in the procedures specified by AICPA AU-C Section 930. In the event the Closing does not occur by December 31, 2021, the Company will promptly begin preparation of the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2021 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended, and shall reasonably cooperate with Parent in connection therewith.

Article VII

POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

7.1 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, upon the reasonable request and at the cost and expense, if any, of the requesting party, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute, acknowledge and deliver all such additional instruments and other documents and take, or cause to be taken, such further actions as may be reasonably required or necessary to carry out the Transactions.

7.2 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing Date for a period of six (6) years, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Law and the organizational documents of the Company, the individuals who on or prior to the Closing Date were or are managers, directors or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) with respect to any and all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such or as trustees or fiduciaries of any plan for the benefit of employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or taken at the request of the Company or any Subsidiary at any time prior to the Closing Date. Parent agrees that all rights of the D&O Indemnified Parties to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date as provided in the respective governing documents of the Company or any Subsidiary as in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing, and any indemnification agreements or arrangements of the Company or any Subsidiary set forth on Section 7.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Parent shall not, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries not to, amend, alter or otherwise modify such rights

or agreements in any manner that could adversely affect the indemnification and exculpation rights of the D&O Indemnified Parties. In addition, to the extent provided in the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or similar governing documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, as in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to pay any and all legal and other fees, costs and expenses (including the cost of investigation and preparation) of any D&O Indemnified Party under this Section 7.2, as incurred to the fullest extent permitted by Law; provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is determined that such D&O Indemnified Party is not entitled to such indemnification. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to pay all fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees that may be incurred by a D&O Indemnified Party in successfully enforcing this Section 7.2.

(b) Subject to the other terms and conditions in Section 7.2, for six (6) years after the Closing Date, unless otherwise required by Law, the governing documents of the Surviving Corporation, its Subsidiaries and their respective successors or assigns shall contain provisions no less favorable to the D&O Indemnified Parties with respect to the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to managers, directors and officers than are set forth in the governing documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing.

(c) At or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall purchase (and pay for in full at its own expense) a “tail” non-cancellable directors and officers liability and fiduciary and employment practices liability prepaid insurance policy with respect to the D&O Indemnified Parties’ existing directors’, managers’ and officers’ and employees’ liability insurance coverage that shall provide such directors, managers and officers and employees’ coverage for six (6) years following the Closing (including with respect to acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement, the Related Documents and the Transactions on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no less favorable to the D&O Indemnified Parties than those of such policies in effect on the date hereof); provided that in no event shall Parent be required to expend an amount in excess of 300% of the aggregate annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such policies; provided, further, that if the aggregate premium of such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, Parent shall obtain the policy with the greatest possible coverage available for a cost not to exceed such amount. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policy in full force and effect from and after the Closing Date and shall not, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to, amend the terms and conditions of such “tail” insurance in any manner adverse to the D&O Indemnified Parties. The cost of such policy shall not constitute a Transaction Expense.

(d) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving company of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 7.2.

(e) The obligations under this Section 7.2 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party to whom this Section 7.2 applies without the written consent of such D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly understood that the (i) D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 7.2 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.2 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein and (ii) rights set forth in this Section 7.2 are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any D&O Indemnified Party may have).

(f) Parent hereby acknowledges that certain D&O Indemnified Parties may have rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Persons other than the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnitors”). Parent hereby agrees that (i) the Surviving Corporation is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the D&O Indemnified Party are primary and any obligation of the Indemnitors are secondary); (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by any D&O Indemnified Party and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent permitted by Law and as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Surviving Corporation’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective certificate of incorporation, bylaws or comparable organizational or governing documents (or any other agreement between the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any such D&O Indemnified Party on the other hand), without regard to any rights the D&O Indemnified Party may have against the Indemnitors; and (iii) each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Indemnitors from any and all claims, cross claims and causes of action against the Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation further agree that no advancement or payment by an Indemnitor on behalf of any D&O Indemnified Party with respect to any claim for which a D&O Indemnified Party has sought indemnification from the Surviving Corporation shall affect the foregoing. Parent and the D&O Indemnified Parties agree that the Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 7.2(f).

7.3 Employees.

(a) For a period beginning on the date of the Closing and terminating twelve (12) months from the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries to, provide (i) each employee who is employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with a base salary or wage rate that is no less favorable than the base salary or wage rate provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) each Continuing Employee with annual cash target incentive and commission opportunities that are no less favorable than the annual cash target incentive and commission opportunities provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (iii) Continuing Employees with other employee benefits (excluding defined benefit pension, retiree medical benefits and equity incentive benefits) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to either, as determined by Parent in its sole discretion, (A) the employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employees as of immediately prior to the Closing, or (B) those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent. With respect to any Continuing Employee who incurs a termination of employment during the period beginning on

the date of the Closing and terminating twelve (12) months from the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries to, provide cash severance payments and benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those that would have been provided to such Continuing Employee upon a termination of employment had such termination of employment occurred immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, provide to Continuing Employees full credit for all purposes, including eligibility, vesting and determination of the level of benefits, under any employee benefit plans or arrangements (excluding defined benefit pension, retiree medical and equity incentive benefits) maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Parent Plans”) for such Continuing Employees’ service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor entity) to the same extent recognized by the Company and its Subsidiaries under the Employee Benefit Plans; provided, however, that no such service shall be recognized to the extent such recognition would result in the duplication of benefits.

(c) Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to take commercially reasonable actions to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations otherwise applicable to Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents under any Parent Plan that provides health benefits in which Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate following the Closing Date; (ii) honor any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents under the health plans in which they participated immediately prior to the Closing Date during the portion of the calendar year prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under any Parent Plans in which they are eligible to participate after the Closing Date in the same plan year in which such deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums were incurred and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents on or after the Closing Date.

(d) The provisions of this Section 7.3 are solely for the benefit of the parties hereto, and nothing contained in this Section 7.3, whether express or implied: (i) is intended to confer upon any current or former employee or any other Person any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment, (ii) shall be treated as establishing, amending or modifying for any purpose any Employee Benefit Plan or Parent Plan or (iii) shall alter or limit Parent or one of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates’ ability to amend, modify or terminate any particular benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. No Continuing Employee (or any current or former employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries) is a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 7.3.

7.4 Access to Books and Records. From and after the Closing Date for a period of seven (7) years following the Closing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to provide the Equityholders’ Representative and its authorized representatives with reasonable access (for the purpose of examining and copying at the Holders’ expense), at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice, to the employees, properties, books and records, including the information, records and documents relating to Taxes, of the Surviving

Corporation and its Subsidiaries with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date, in each case, only to the extent necessary (a) for the Equityholders’ Representative or any of its Affiliates to comply with applicable Law, (b) to satisfy any request by any Governmental Authority, (c) for the preparation of Tax Returns, financial statements or other financial reporting material or (d) in connection with any third-party Action (other than any Action against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Affiliates). Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Equityholders’ Representative, Parent shall not permit the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, for a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date, to destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any documents of any kind (including those relating to Taxes or the preparation of any Tax Return), or books and records of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries, or any portions thereof, relating to periods prior to the Closing Date without first giving sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Equityholders’ Representative and offering to surrender to the Equityholders’ Representative (at the Equityholders’ Representative’s sole expense on behalf of the Holders) such books and records or such portions thereof. Following notice of such destruction, alteration or disposition, if the Equityholders’ Representative so requests during such sixty (60) day period, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to permit the Equityholders’ Representative to take possession of such documents, books and records (at the Equityholders’ Representative’s sole expense). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent shall not be required to provide any access or information to the Equityholders’ Representative or any of its authorized representatives if such access would (i) cause a violation or breach of any Law or Contract to which Parent or its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) is a party or their assets are bound, (ii) jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or an attorney work-product privilege or (iii) give rise to antitrust or competition law issues or violate a protective order; provided, in each case, the Equityholders’ Representative and Parent shall work in good faith on alternative means of disclosure that will not reasonably be expected to result in such violation, breach or loss of privilege.

7.5 Release. Effective as of the Closing, except for any rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Related Document, each of Parent and the Company on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and each of its and their respective current and former officers, directors, managers, employees, partners, members, advisors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Holders, the Equityholders’ Representative and each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective current and former officers, directors, employees, partners, managers, members, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) of and from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, executions, judgments, duties, debts, dues (whether express or implied, absolute or contingent, asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, primary or secondary, direct or indirect, and whether or not accrued), and claims and demands whatsoever, whether in law or in equity, which the Releasing Parties have or may have against each of the Released Parties, now or in the future, by reason of any matter, cause, circumstance, event or thing whatsoever arising prior to the Closing Date, in each case, relating to any acts or omissions of any Released Party occurring at or prior to the Closing; provided that this Section 7.5 shall not release or discharge or otherwise affect any claim or Losses (i) for Fraud or (ii) arising out of the fact that a Released Party was or is an officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including any claims with respect to fraud, willful misconduct or criminality of such officer or employee or pursuant to the terms of any employment agreement to which a Released Party is a party. Parent, the Company and

the Releasing Parties agree that the Released Parties are express third-party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 7.5.

7.6 Tax Matters.

(a) Transfer Taxes. Parent shall be responsible for the timely payment of all Transfer Taxes, if any, arising out of or in connection with the Transactions. Parent shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, when due all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes and shall promptly provide Equityholders’ Representative any such documentation and Tax Returns.

(b) Calculation of Transaction Tax Deductions. For purposes of calculating the Aggregate Merger Consideration and the amount of any Loss with respect to Taxes, Parent shall be presumed to have caused the Company and its Subsidiaries to make an election under Revenue Procedure 2011-29, 2011-18 IRB, to treat 70% of any success-based fees that were paid by or on behalf of the Company with respect to the Transactions as an amount that did not facilitate the Transactions and, therefore, treat 70% of such costs as deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(c) Filing of Returns. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, prepare and duly and timely file all Tax Returns of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period on a basis consistent with the most recent Tax Returns of such Company or Subsidiary unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Except with the prior written consent of the Stockholders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) or as otherwise required by Law, Parent shall not, and shall not allow the Surviving Corporation to, amend any Tax Return of any of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period to the extent it could give rise to any claim under Section 10.2 or otherwise adversely impact the Stockholders, provided that an amendment that could give rise to a claim under Section 10.2 shall not be prohibited by this sentence if Parent and the Surviving Corporation waive such claim to the extent impacted by such amendment. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any cash refunds of income Taxes (together with any interest payable with respect thereto) to which the Company is entitled with respect to the U.S. federal income tax periods of the Company and its Subsidiaries ending on December 31, 2020, and ending on the earlier of the Closing Date and December 31, 2021, (other than to the extent such cash refund arises as a result of a carryback of a net operating loss or other tax attribute generated in a Post-Closing Taxable Period to a Pre-Closing Taxable Period) by timely filing an IRS Form 4466 with respect to the latter aforementioned taxable period (such refunds collectively, the “Estimated Tax Payment Refund”). Parent shall promptly pay to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Stockholders the amount(s) of the Estimated Tax Payment Refund received by the Company, less any reasonable out-of-pocket third-party costs incurred by Parent or any of the Company and its Subsidiaries in obtaining such Estimated Tax Payment Refund and any Tax costs incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of such Estimated Tax Payment Refund.

(d) Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements and all powers of attorney with respect to or involving the Company or any of its

Subsidiaries shall be terminated prior to the Closing and, after the Closing, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(e) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, Seller Related Parties and Equityholders’ Representative will make commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with any Tax matters relating to the Surviving Corporation (including by the provision of reasonably relevant records or information). The party requesting such cooperation will pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Equityholders’ Representative shall have no obligation to prepare or file any Tax Returns.

arbitration, as a result of an investigation, or otherwise (each, a “Third Party Claim”)), setting out (i) the provisions under this Agreement on which such claim is based, (ii) to the extent reasonably ascertainable, its estimate of the amount of Losses which are, or are to be, the subject of the claim and (iii) such other information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Indemnifying Party to assess the merits of the claim, and the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably and promptly informed of any developments (including additional information which may become available to it) in respect of such facts, matters or circumstances; provided, however, that any failure or delay in providing such Claim Notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article X except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is adversely affected or prejudiced by such failure or delay.

(b) The Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in defending against a Third-Party Claim. In connection with any fact, matter, event or circumstance that may give rise to a claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, ensure that it or they shall (i) preserve all material evidence relevant to the claim to the extent within its control, (ii) allow the Indemnifying Party to investigate the fact, matter, event or circumstance alleged to give rise to such claim and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such claim, (iii) disclose to the Indemnifying Party all material of which it is aware which relates to the claim and provide all such information and assistance, including reasonable access to premises and personnel, and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records, as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, subject to the Indemnifying Party agreeing to keep all such information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of investigating and defending the claim in question (except that the Indemnifying Party will not be required to keep any such information confidential to the extent disclosure may be required by applicable Law or to the extent disclosure may be reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with investigating or defending the claim in question); provided that the foregoing shall not require the Indemnified Party, or its Affiliates or Representatives, to disclose any documents or information that may be reasonably expected to result in a violation of applicable Law or the loss or waiver of any attorney-client, work product or similar legal privilege; provided, further, that the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and their respective Affiliates or Representatives, shall work in good faith to put in place appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements to permit such disclosure without such violation, loss or waiver. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall keep each other reasonably informed with respect to the status of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.4(a) in respect of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim (the “Notice Period”), assume the defense and control of any Third-Party Claim, with its own counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and at its own expense, but shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense (subject to the Indemnifying Party agreeing in writing that it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to, and subject to the limitations set forth in, this Article X);

provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) of any criminal or regulatory action or claim, any claim seeking material non-monetary remedies, or any claim for which a majority of the Losses, when taken together with all other outstanding claims for indemnification, would not reasonably be expected to be satisfied by the indemnity hereunder (including because of the Deductible or the Cap). Notwithstanding the anything to the contrary set forth herein, with respect to the Specified Matter, the Equityholders’ Representative shall retain the defense and control any litigation, negotiation or settlement with respect thereto; provided that any counsel engaged in connection therewith shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to assume and control the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim (a “Settlement” or “Settles”) (including any Specified Matter) unless such Settlement (i) does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, (ii) contains, as a condition of any Settlement, an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all Losses in respect of such Third-Party Claim and (iii) does not impose any obligations or requirements on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than payment obligations subject to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X).

(d) The Indemnifying Party shall have no liability with respect to a Settlement entered into by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If an Indemnified Party settles a Third-Party Claim in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, then the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party and its counsel shall keep the Indemnifying Party informed of all developments relating to any such Third-Party Claim, including by promptly (and not later than five (5) Business Days after the receipt thereof) providing copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation relating thereto.

10.5 Indemnification Payment.

(a) On the third (3rd) Business Day following the Survival Date, Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement directing the Escrow Agent to distribute by Wire Transfer any remaining portion of the Indemnification Escrow Account, in accordance with, and subject to the conditions of, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, to the Paying Agent; provided that, as of the Survival Date, to the extent there are any pending and unresolved claims for indemnification under Article X for which a Claim Notice has been provided in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Indemnifying Party prior to the Survival Date (“Pending Claims”), all or a portion of the funds in the Indemnification Escrow Account in an amount equal to the aggregate amounts set forth in the Claim Notices with respect to all Pending Claims shall be retained in the Indemnification Escrow Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement until Finally Determined. At any time after the Survival Date, (i) when a Pending Claim is resolved by a Final Determination, Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative shall, no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of such Final

Determination, provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement directing the Escrow Agent to distribute by Wire Transfer, no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of such joint written instruction, to (A) Parent from the Indemnification Escrow Account an amount equal to the amount Finally Determined to be recoverable by the Parent Indemnified Party with respect to such Pending Claim and (B) the Paying Agent an amount equal to the remainder, if any, of the amount that was set forth in the Claim Notice with respect to the applicable Pending Claim after accounting for the payment to the Parent Indemnified Party in the foregoing clause (A); provided that any release pursuant to this clause (B) shall only be made to the extent the amount remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Account following such release is sufficient to satisfy all other Pending Claims that have not been Finally Determined and (ii) upon the resolution of all Pending Claims by one or more Final Determinations, Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative shall, no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of such Final Determinations, provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement directing the Escrow Agent to distribute by Wire Transfer, no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of such joint written instruction, to the Paying Agent (for distribution to each Holder in proportion to such Holder’s Pro Rata Percentage) from the Indemnification Escrow Account the applicable amount reserved amount remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Account after giving effect to any amounts required to be paid to the Parent Indemnified Parties in accordance with the foregoing clause (i). For purposes of this Section 10.5(a), any amounts released from the Indemnity Escrow Account (less the employer portion of any payroll Taxes imposed with respect to such amount payable to the holders of Company Options and the EBU Holders) to the Paying Agent or to the Surviving Corporation for the benefit of the EBU Holders and holders of Company options shall be distributed as follows: (x) twenty percent (20%) of the applicable amount to the EBU Holders based on the applicable percentage opposite such EBU Holders name on the Holder Payment Schedule under the heading “Unitas Holdings Corp. EBU Ownership Ledger” and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the applicable amount to the Holders (other than a Holder of Dissenting Shares in respect of such Dissenting Shares) based on the percentage of the aggregate amount of the Closing Stock Consideration and Closing Option Payments that the applicable Holder became entitled to receive at the Effective Time; provided that any amounts payable to holders of Company Options or to the EBU Holders shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation, and the employer portion of any payroll Taxes imposed with respect to such amount payable to the holders of Company Options and the EBU Holders shall be released to the Surviving Corporation (and the Surviving Corporation shall use such increased amount to pay such payroll Taxes), and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay all such amounts payable to the holders of Company Options in accordance with the mechanics described in Section 3.3 and payable to the EBU Holders in accordance with terms of the applicable governing documents and, in any event, at or about the same time as payments are made to the other Holders (other than a Holder of Dissenting Shares in respect of such Dissenting Shares).

(b) In the event of an indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3 Parent shall pay to the Paying Agent by Wire Transfer the amount of any Losses for which it is liable under this Article X no later than three (3) Business Days following any Final Determination of such Loss and Parent’s liability therefor.

10.6 Damages. The parties hereto agree that with respect to each indemnification obligation set forth in this Article X, in no event shall an Indemnified Party be indemnified hereunder for any consequential, indirect, speculative, incidental, punitive, or special damages, opportunity cost, lost profits, diminution in value or lost prospective economic advantage, or other similar damages or Losses, except to the extent such Losses are actually awarded in a Final Determination in connection with a Third-Party Claim or (b) are reasonably foreseeable as a result of any breach of a representation and warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or as a result of any Specified Matter. Where one and the same set of facts, circumstances or events qualifies under more than one provision entitling an Indemnified Party to a claim or remedy under this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to duplicative recovery of Losses arising out of such facts, circumstances or events.

10.7 Mitigation.

(a) The Indemnified Party shall use reasonable best efforts (including by taking any actions reasonably requested by an Indemnifying Party) to avoid or mitigate any Losses, which in the absence of mitigation might give rise to or increase a Loss in respect of any claim under this Article X.

(b) The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under any and all indemnification agreements or arrangements with third parties or under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses (each, a “Collateral Source”) for any Losses indemnifiable pursuant to this Article X. In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party hereunder, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be computed net of (i) payments actually recovered by the Indemnified Party by a Collateral Source, after giving effect to any deductible or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket cost of recovery, or (ii) any prior actual recovery by the Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses. If any Indemnified Party has been indemnified hereunder for any claim and such Indemnified Party (or its Affiliates) subsequently recovers from a Collateral Source a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates (in whole or in part) in respect of the Loss which is the subject matter of the claim, any such Parent Indemnified Party shall pay to the Paying Agent and any such Seller Indemnified Party shall pay to Parent, as applicable, as soon as practicable after such recovery has actually been received an amount equal to the lesser of (i) any sum recovered from the third party less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery or (ii) the amount previously received by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the indemnification provisions hereunder less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such indemnification.

10.8 Tax Treatment. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, for all purposes (including Tax purposes), the parties hereto shall treat any payment made under this Article X as an adjustment to the Aggregate Merger Consideration, unless they are required to treat such payments otherwise by applicable Laws.

10.9 Exclusive Remedy. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that following the consummation of the Closing in accordance with its terms, the indemnification provisions of this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto under or in connection with this Agreement, other than (a) in the case of Fraud or (b) with respect to

the matters contemplated by Section 3.11 and Section 3.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article X applies with respect to any breach of any Post-Closing Covenant, in which case the parties shall be entitled to any remedy that may be available at law or in equity, including pursuant to Section 11.16.

Article XI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

11.1 Release.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub, for themselves and on behalf of the other Parent Related Parties (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries), intend to and acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, including by contractually shortening the applicable statute of limitation, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against any Seller Related Party relating to the operation of the Company and its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule or the Transactions, whether arising under, or based upon, any Law (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law) are hereby irrevocably waived.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing limitations shall not apply to any claim for Fraud.

(b) Parent and Merger Sub unconditionally and irrevocably acknowledge and agree that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 11.1 are an integral part of this Agreement and the Transactions and (ii) without the agreements set forth in this Section 11.1, the Company would not enter into this Agreement or otherwise agree to consummate the Merger.

behalf of the Company, with respect to (a) all filing fees lawfully payable to or at the request of any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the Related Documents and the consummation of the Merger and (b) its obligations under Section 7.2.

11.3 Governing Law. This Agreement, the Related Documents and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, disputes, cross claims, counterclaims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, the Transactions and/or any Related Document or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, the Transactions and/or any Related Document, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State, without regard to the conflict of laws principles or rules (whether of the state of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state of Delaware.

C. § 2708 are satisfied and that the statute mandates the application of Delaware law to this Agreement, the relationship of the parties, the proposed Merger and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties, (b) no other jurisdiction has a materially greater interest in the foregoing, and (c) the application of Delaware law would not be contrary to the fundamental policy of any other jurisdiction that, absent the parties’ choice of Delaware law, would have an interest in the foregoing.

11.4 Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Subject to Section 3.12, each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the state of Delaware, or, solely if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County, Delaware, or, solely if such federal court does not have jurisdiction, any state court of competent civil jurisdiction sitting in New Castle County, Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”), over any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, disputes, cross claims, counterclaims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, the Transactions or any Related Document or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, the Transactions or any Related Document;

(ii) agrees that all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, disputes, cross claims, counterclaims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, the Transactions or the Related Documents shall be heard and determined in the Chosen Courts;

(c) Each of the parties hereby consents to process being served by any party hereto in any suit, action or proceeding by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7. The consents to jurisdiction and service of process set forth in Section 11.4(a) and this Section 11.4(c) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of New York and shall have no effect for any purpose, except as provided in Section 11.4(a) and this Section 11.4(c), and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties hereto.

(d) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS AND/OR THE RELATED DOCUMENTS (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE). EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.4(d). THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS AND/OR THE RELATED DOCUMENTS.

11.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, the Disclosure Schedules, the Related Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement) represents the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the Transactions, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, arrangements, contracts, discussions, negotiations, undertakings and understandings (whether written or oral and including any letters of intent, term sheets or other similar preliminary documents) among the parties and/or their respective representatives with respect to the Transactions. The parties have voluntarily agreed

to define their rights, liabilities and obligations with respect to the Transactions exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Related Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement, and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Related Documents or the Confidentiality Agreement. Furthermore, each party hereby acknowledges that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations, and all parties specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction. Except in the case of Fraud, the sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including any representations and warranties set forth herein, made in connection herewith or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) or any claim or cause of action otherwise arising out of or related to the Transactions shall be those remedies available at law or in equity for breach of contract against the parties to this Agreement only (as such contractual remedies have been further limited, waived, released, modified or excluded pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement, including Section 3.12(e)(ii), and Section 10.9), and the parties hereby agree that no party hereto shall have any remedies or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) for any statements, communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, or representations, warranties or covenants not explicitly set forth in this Agreement. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein.

11.6 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended, altered or modified, except by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement and signed by each party hereto. No waiver by any party of any provision hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing making specific reference to this Agreement and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate, constitute or be construed as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other inaccuracy, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate, constitute or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

11.7 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered personally by hand, (ii) when sent by electronic mail with written confirmation of receipt (including by electronic mail), (iii) one Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered utilizing a next-day service by a recognized overnight courier, or (iv) on the earlier of confirmed receipt or the fifth Business Day following the date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

11.8 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, that provision will be deemed separable from the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement, and will not affect the validity or interpretation of the other terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Related Document, and all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or such party waives its rights under this Section 11.8 with respect thereto. Upon any such adjudication that any term or provision hereof is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

11.9 Binding Effect; Third-Party Beneficiaries; Assignment.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person that is not a party hereto, except as contemplated in Section 3.12(e), Section 7.2, Section 7.5, Article X, Section 11.1, this Section 11.9, Section 11.10, Section 11.17, Section 11.18 and, with respect to each Holder, such Person’s right to receive such Person’s Pro Rata Percentage of (i) the Net Estimated Closing Payment Amount and (ii) any Post-Closing Payments.

(c) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, in whole or in part, by any party, directly or indirectly (by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void. No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve a party of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Upon any permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to the assigning party shall also apply to any such assignee of such assigning party.

11.10 No Recourse Against Non-Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or the Exhibits or Schedules hereto, or any Related Documents, all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, disputes, cross claims, counterclaims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, the Transactions or the Related Documents, may be made only against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto. No Person who is not a party hereto, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, financing source or representative of any party hereto (“Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any Losses, obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement, the Transactions or the Related Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this

Agreement, and each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases all such Losses, liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates other than any affirmative defense to any actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, disputes or causes of action brought by such Non-Party Affiliate against a party hereto. Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this Section 11.10.

11.11 No Partnership Created. In no event shall this Agreement be deemed to create a partnership or joint venture between the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, and in no event shall any fiduciary or similar duty be deemed owed by the Company or any of its Affiliates to Parent or any of its Affiliates.

11.12 No Strict Construction. Notwithstanding the fact that this Agreement has been drafted or prepared by one of the parties, each of the parties hereto confirms that it and its respective counsel has reviewed, negotiated and adopted this Agreement as the joint agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and the language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. In the event an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

11.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement and any Related Document, and any amendments, waivers or supplements hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or any other electronic transmission, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.

11.14 Confidentiality. Parent acknowledges that all information provided to it and any of its Affiliates, agents and representatives by the Company and its Affiliates, agents and representatives in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by Section 6.6(b).

11.15 Press Releases and Communications. No press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the Merger, or prior to the Closing, any other announcement or communication to the employees, customers or suppliers of the Company or its Subsidiaries, shall be issued or made by or on behalf of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, unless required by Law or applicable stock exchange rules (in the reasonable advice of counsel) in which case the issuing party will use reasonable best efforts to allow the other parties reasonable time to review and comment on such press release, announcement or communication prior to its issuance, distribution or publication; provided, however, that following the public announcement of the Transactions, the foregoing will not restrict or prohibit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from making any

announcement to its employees, customers and other business relations to the extent the Company or such Subsidiary reasonably determines in good faith that such announcement is necessary or advisable or is necessary to comply with any Law or the requirements of any Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are a party (in which case the Company will use reasonable best efforts to allow Parent reasonable time to review and comment on such announcement prior to its issuance, distribution or publication). Following the public announcement of the Transactions, each Holder and its Affiliates may (a) provide general information about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Company and its Subsidiaries (including its and their performance and improvements) in connection with such Holder’s or its Affiliates’ marketing, informational or reporting activities and (b) report and disclose the status of this Agreement and the Transactions to their respective direct and indirect limited partners or investors. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event will Parent or, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation have any right to use any Holder’s or its Affiliates’ name or xxxx, or any abbreviation, variation or derivative thereof, in any press release, public announcement or other public document or communication without the express written consent of such Holder or its Affiliate. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential, except to the extent required by Law or for financial reporting purposes or obtaining any Required Regulatory Approvals and except that the parties may disclose such terms to their respective employees, accountants, advisors and other representatives as necessary in connection with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses (so long as such Persons agree to or are bound by contract to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential).

11.16 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the rights of each party to consummate the Merger are unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Related Document are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached irreparable damage would occur, money damages would be inadequate and the other parties would have no adequate remedy at Law. Accordingly, the parties agree that each party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or in equity, to enforce their rights and the other parties’ obligations hereunder by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without proof of damages and without posting of bond or other security) to prevent breaches and threatened breaches of this Agreement or any Related Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and any Related Document. Each party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that (a) there is an appropriate remedy at law or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. In no event shall the exercise of a party’s right to specific performance pursuant to this Section 11.16 reduce, restrict or otherwise limit such party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 or pursue any other applicable remedy at law, including seeking money damages. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any (i) defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and (ii) requirement under any law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

Each of the Holders, by accepting the consideration payable to it hereunder and without any further action of any of the Holders or the Company, hereby irrevocably appoints the Equityholders’ Representative to be its attorney-in-fact and exclusive agent under this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and grants unto said attorney-in-fact full power and authority (a) to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or required to be done in connection with the Transactions as fully to all intents and purposes as such Holders might or could do in person (including all of the actions described more fully above), (b) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Holders which the Equityholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and (c) to do all things and to perform all acts, as contemplated by or deemed advisable by the Equityholders’ Representative in connection with this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Equityholders’ Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Holders, except as expressly provided herein, in the Paying Agent Agreement, in the Escrow Agreement and in the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Equityholders’ Representative in any other ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Company Disclosure Schedule. The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Equityholders’ Representative Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Holder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Holder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in any escrow or other funds in which such Holder may have an interest.

(b) All decisions, actions, consents and instructions of the Equityholders’ Representative authorized to be made, taken or given pursuant to Section 11.17(a) shall be final

Certain Holders have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Equityholders’ Representative to provide direction to the Equityholders’ Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement (such Holders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Equityholders’ Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Equityholders’ Representative Group”) shall incur any liability to any Holder for any action or failure to act in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Equityholders’ Representative’s responsibilities hereunder, under the Paying Agent Agreement, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement except and only to the extent of actions or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Equityholders’ Representative in connection therewith. The Holders acknowledge that the Equityholders’ Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Furthermore, the Equityholders’ Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Equityholders’ Representative has been provided by the Holders with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Equityholders’ Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Equityholders’ Representative in performing such actions. The Equityholders’ Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Holder. The Equityholders’ Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

(c) The Holders shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Equityholders’ Representative in connection with this Agreement and the Company Documents, and Parent and the other Parent Related Parties shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Equityholders’ Representative. Notices or communications to or from the Equityholders’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Holders. The Equityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Holder Payment Schedule, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Holder or other party.

(d) In the event that the Equityholders’ Representative becomes unable to perform the Equityholders’ Representative’s responsibilities or resigns from such position, the Holders that held, immediately prior to the Closing, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall select another representative to fill such vacancy and such substituted representative shall (i) be deemed to be the Equityholders’ Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and (ii) exercise the rights and

powers of, and be entitled to the indemnity, reimbursement and other benefits of, the Equityholders’ Representative.

(e) By accepting the consideration payable to them hereunder, the Holders agree, severally (and not jointly and severally) on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the sum of each of the respective amounts payable to them as set forth on (i) the Final Closing Statement and (ii) any updated versions of Holder Payment Schedule prepared by the Equityholders’ Representative in accordance with Section 11.17(g) as of the time of determination) to indemnify the Equityholders’ Representative Group for, and to defend and hold the Equityholders’ Representative Group harmless from and against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, fees, costs, expenses (including fees, disbursements and costs of counsel and other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement (collectively, the “Administrative Expenses”) incurred without willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Equityholders’ Representative, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, under the Paying Agent Agreement, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement or the Equityholders’ Representative’s carrying out its duties under Section 3.12(e) or Section 11.17(g). The Equityholders’ Representative may consult with counsel of its own choice and will have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken and suffered by it in good faith upon the opinion of such counsel. Such Administrative Expenses may be recovered first, from the Equityholders’ Representative Expense Account, second, from any distribution of amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders at the time of distribution, and third, directly from the Holders. The immunity and indemnity rights under this Section 11.17 shall survive the resignation, replacement or removal of the Equityholders’ Representative or any member of the Advisory Group and/or the termination of this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

(f) The Equityholders’ Representative Expense Amount shall be deposited by Parent into the Equityholders’ Representative Expense Account. The Equityholders’ Representative Expense Amount shall be held by the Equityholders’ Representative in the Equityholders’ Representative Expense Account and shall be used (i) for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Equityholders’ Representative for any Administrative Expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group. The Equityholders’ Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Equityholders’ Representative Expense Account other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Equityholders’ Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Equityholders’ Representative Expense Account and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. The Holders will not receive any interest on the Equityholders’ Representative Expense Account and assign to the Equityholders’ Representative any such interest. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Equityholders’ Representative may contribute funds to the Equityholders’ Representative Expense Account from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Holders.

(g) The Equityholders’ Representative may release at any time, in its sole discretion, all or any portion of the Equityholders’ Representative Expense Account to the

Paying Agent and/or the Surviving Company, as applicable, for further distribution to the Holders and shall so release the remaining Equityholders’ Representative Expense Account (if any) as soon as reasonably determined by the Equityholders’ Representative that the Equityholders’ Representative Expense Account is no longer required to be withheld If the Equityholders’ Representative decides to release any portion of the Equityholders’ Representative Expense Amount pursuant to this Section 11.17(g), Equityholders’ Representative shall (i) prepare and deliver to the Advisory Group an updated Holder Payment Schedule, which shall include the amount of each Holder’s (other than a Holder of Dissenting Shares in respect of such Dissenting Shares) Pro Rata Percentage of the portion of the Equityholders’ Representative Expense Amount, to be released, and (ii) release all or such portion of the Equityholders’ Representative Expense Amount less the employer portion of any payroll Taxes imposed with respect to such amount payable to the holders of Company Options and the EBU Holders, as applicable, to the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, for further distribution as follows: (x) twenty percent (20%) of the applicable amount to the EBU Holders based on the applicable percentage opposite such EBU Holder’s name on the Holder Payment Schedule under the heading “Unitas Holdings Corp. EBU Ownership Ledger” and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the applicable amount to the Holders (other than a Holder of Dissenting Shares in respect of such Dissenting Shares) based on the percentage of the aggregate amount of the Closing Stock Consideration and Closing Option Payments that the applicable Holder became entitled to receive at the Effective Time; provided that any amounts payable to holders of Company Options or to the EBU Holders shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation, and the employer portion of any payroll Taxes imposed with respect to such amount payable to the holders of Company Options and the EBU Holders shall be released to the Surviving Corporation (and the Surviving Corporation shall use such increased amount to pay such payroll Taxes), and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay all such amounts payable to the holders of Company Options in accordance with the mechanics described in Section 3.3 and payable to the EBU Holders in accordance with terms of the applicable governing documents and, in any event, at or about the same time as payments are made to the other Holders (other than a Holder of Dissenting Shares in respect of such Dissenting Shares).
