R E C I T A L S

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Seller owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (the “Shares”) of Vector Laboratories, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors or managers, as applicable, of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, and their respective stockholders that Parent acquire the Shares in a reverse subsidiary merger transaction pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, on the terms set forth herein (the “Merger”), in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and the General Corporation Law of the State of California (the “CGCL”), and in furtherance thereof, have approved this Agreement, the Merger and the related transactions contemplated hereby.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger and on the terms set forth in this Agreement, among other things, the Shares will be cancelled and, to the extent set forth in this Agreement, converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration to the extent provided herein.

WHEREAS, immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, Seller has, and has caused its Affiliate(s) to, assign and transfer to the Acquired Companies full right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets (as that term is defined in the Solulink APA, the “Solulink Assets”), certain other Contracts and all rights under the Solulink APA, as evidenced by definitive transfer documentation previously provided to Parent (the “Solulink Transfer”).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition to the willingness of Seller to enter into this Agreement, each of Xxxxxxxx Street Capital Partners VI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Xxxxxxxx Street Capital Partners VI-A, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, is entering into (i) a commitment letter with Parent (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) and (ii) a guaranty in favor of Seller (the “Guaranty”), pursuant to which the Guarantor is guaranteeing certain of the obligations of Parent in connection with this Agreement.

WHEREAS, certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 8.18.

A G R E E M E N T S

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
Merger

I.1.Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are incorporated in and made part of this Agreement.

I.2.The Merger.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company in accordance with the DGCL and CGCL, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) following the Merger.

(b)At the Closing, Merger Sub shall cause, and Seller shall cause the Company to cause, a certificate of merger to be executed and filed (such time of filing, the “Effective Time”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Merger”) and make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL and CGCL in connection with the Merger.

(c)From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will succeed to all the assets, rights, privileges, powers and franchises and be subject to all of the liabilities, restrictions and duties of the Company and Merger Sub, all as provided under the DGCL and CGCL.

I.3.Certificate of Incorporation. The certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be amended at the Effective Time to change the corporate name set forth therein to “Vector Laboratories, Inc.” and, as so amended, will be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with applicable Law.

I.4.Bylaws. The Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be amended at the Effective Time to change the corporate name set forth therein to “Vector Laboratories, Inc.” and, as so amended, will be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with applicable Law.

I.5.Directors and Officers. From and after the Effective Time, until successors are duly elected or appointed in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and applicable Law, (a) the directors of Merger Sub at the Effective

Time will be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and (b) the officers of Merger Sub at the Effective Time will be the officers of the Surviving Corporation.

I.6.Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the owners thereof:

(a)Each share of capital stock of the Company held in the treasury of the Company and each share of capital stock of the Company owned or held, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Merger Sub, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be canceled and will cease to exist without any conversion thereof and no payment will be made with respect thereto.

(b)Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(c)The Shares, which constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of capital stock of the Company to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(a)) will be converted into the right to receive from Parent the Merger Consideration.

I.7.Merger Consideration. The aggregate consideration to be paid by Parent to Seller for the Shares (the “Merger Consideration”) shall be equal to:

(a)One Hundred Twenty Four Million Dollars ($124,000,000);

(b)plus the aggregate amount of Cash;

(c)plus or minus, as applicable, the Working Capital Adjustment;

(d)minus the aggregate amount of Closing Liabilities;

(e)minus the aggregate amount of Indebtedness; and

(f)minus the aggregate amount of Transaction Expenses.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Merger Consideration shall not be reduced (whether through the Working Capital Adjustment or increases in Closing Liabilities, Indebtedness or Transaction Expenses) by any amounts payable as of the Closing in connection with the relocation of the Burlingame facility to its proposed new facility in Newark (the “Relocation”), including but not limited to approximately $14,210,000 in capital expenditures (less $418,000 in tenant improvement allowances), (ii) $1,498,000 in employee incentives, and (iii) $603,000 in consulting fees.

I.8.Manner of Payments at Closing.

(a)At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Parent a spreadsheet setting forth (i) Seller’s good faith estimates of each of (A) Cash (provided, that such estimate of Cash solely for purposes of calculating the Estimated Merger Consideration (and not for the Final Merger Consideration) shall be no greater than $250,000, irrespective of whether the actual Cash balance exceeds $250,000), (B) Indebtedness, (C) Closing Working Capital (and, therefore, the Working Capital Adjustment), (D) Closing Liabilities and (E) Transaction Expenses, and based on such estimates set forth in sub-clauses (A) - (E), a calculation of the Merger Consideration to be paid at Closing for the Shares (the “Estimated Merger Consideration”) (such spreadsheet, the “Estimated Closing Statement”). Parent may review the Estimated Closing Statement prior to the Closing, and Seller will consider any comments to the Estimated Closing Statement in good faith but will not be required to make any changes to the Estimated Closing Statement unless Parent and Seller mutually agree to such changes. For illustrative purposes only, an illustrative example calculation of the Estimated Closing Statement, including the Estimated Merger Consideration and each of the components thereof and assuming Closing occurred on June 30, 2021, is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. In the event of a conflict between the example attached as Exhibit A hereto and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.

(b)As part of the Closing, Parent will:

(i)pay in full, on behalf of the Acquired Companies, all of the Transaction Expenses set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by each Person to whom such Transaction Expenses are to be paid as set forth in the Invoices previously provided by Seller with respect thereto;

(ii)deliver to U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), each of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Merger Consideration Adjustment Escrow Amount”), Six Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($620,000) (the “Indemnity Escrow Amount”, and together with the Merger Consideration Adjustment Escrow Amount, the “Escrow Amounts”), to be held by Escrow Agent in segregated interest-bearing accounts to secure Seller’s obligations hereunder and to be administered and payable in accordance with that certain Escrow Agreement, by and among Parent, Seller and Escrow Agent, in a form mutually agreed in good faith prior to the Closing Date (the “Escrow Agreement”); and

(iii)delivering to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account previously designated by Seller, an amount equal to the Estimated Merger Consideration, less the Escrow Amounts.

I.9.Determination of Closing Working Capital; Post-Closing Payments.

(a)Not later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith calculation of the Merger Consideration, which shall set forth in reasonable detail its good faith calculations, as of the Closing, of (i) Cash, (ii) Closing Working Capital (and, therefore, the Working Capital Adjustment), (iii) Closing Liabilities, (iv) Indebtedness and (v) Transaction Expenses.

(b)The Closing Statement, and all of the individual elements thereof, shall be determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles. Parent shall cause to be made available to Seller and its accountants, upon Seller’s request, any work papers, documents and records (or portions or excerpts thereof) reasonably necessary for Seller to perform its review of Parent’s computation of the Merger Consideration, subject to execution of customary access letters.

(c)Seller shall have thirty (30) days (the “Dispute Period”) following receipt of the Closing Statement from Parent to provide written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) that any of the elements of or amounts reflected on the Closing Statement were not calculated in accordance with this Agreement (a “Dispute”). Such Dispute Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the elements and amounts with which Seller disagrees. If Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Parent within the Dispute Period, the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed to by Seller in the form in which such Closing Statement is delivered by Parent and shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto. Within thirty (30) days following delivery of such Dispute Notice, the parties hereto shall attempt to resolve such Dispute and agree in writing upon the final content of the disputed Closing Statement.

(d)If Parent and Seller are unable to resolve any Dispute within the thirty (30) day period following Parent’s receipt of a Dispute Notice, the Chicago, Illinois office of the certified public accounting firm of BDO USA, LLP (the “Arbitrating Accountant”), which (if it has not provided services for Parent, the Acquired Companies or Seller within the previous two (2) years) shall be engaged as arbitrator hereunder to settle such Dispute as soon as practicable. If BDO USA, LLP is unwilling or unable to serve as Arbitrating Accountant, Parent and Seller shall select by mutual agreement another nationally recognized certified public accounting firm, who is not rendering (and, during the preceding two (2) year period, has not rendered) services to Seller, the Acquired Companies or Parent, to serve as the Arbitrating Accountant. In connection with the resolution of any Dispute, the Arbitrating Accountant shall have access to all documents, records, work papers, facilities and management personnel relating to Parent’s computation of the Merger Consideration and reasonably necessary to perform its function as arbitrator. The Arbitrating Accountant’s function shall be to review only those items which are in dispute and to resolve the dispute with respect to such items. In resolving any disputed item, the Arbitrating Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Parent or Seller or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by Parent or Seller. The Arbitrating

Accountant’s determination (i) shall be based solely on the written presentations by Parent and Seller which are in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement and the Accounting Principles (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review), (ii) may not propose for resolution any matters that are not raised for dispute in the Dispute Notice and (iii) may not be influenced by any ex parte oral testimony from the parties or any other Person. The Arbitrating Accountant’s award with respect to any Dispute shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto, and judgment may be entered on the award. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountant shall be allocated between Seller, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, so that the amount of fees and expenses paid by Seller (with the remainder of such amount being paid by Parent) shall be equal to the product of (x) and (y), where (x) is the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses, and where (y) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount in dispute that is ultimately unsuccessfully disputed by Seller (as determined by the Arbitrating Accountant), and the denominator of which is the total value in dispute. Upon the resolution of the Dispute, the Closing Statement shall be revised to reflect such resolution and as so revised shall be final and binding for purposes of this Agreement.

(e)If the Merger Consideration, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.9, exceeds the Estimated Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Upward Adjustment Amount”): (i) Parent shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Merger Consideration) pay the Upward Adjustment Amount to Seller; and (ii) Parent and Seller shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute the remainder of the Merger Consideration Adjustment Escrow Amount to Seller.

(f)If the Merger Consideration, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.9, is less than the Estimated Merger Consideration (such difference, the “Downward Adjustment Amount”), Parent and Seller shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute (i) to Parent (or an account or accounts designated by Parent) the Downward Adjustment Amount from the Merger Consideration Adjustment Escrow Amount and (ii) the remainder of any such remaining balance of the Merger Consideration Adjustment Escrow Amount (if any) to Seller, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. If the Merger Consideration Adjustment Escrow Amount is insufficient to pay the full Downward Adjustment Amount, any shortfall shall be promptly (but in any event within such five (5) Business Days) paid to Parent by Seller in cash, and if such shortfall is not promptly paid, Parent may elect to recover any unpaid shortfall from the Indemnity Escrow Amount, in which event Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days, pay such amount to the Escrow Agent to replenish the Indemnity Escrow Amount.

I.10.Time and Place of Closing. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be consummated (the “Closing”) remotely by mail, e-mail or wire transfer, in each case to the extent acceptable to the parties hereto, (a) on the second (2nd) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver (by the party hereto entitled to the benefit of such condition) of all the closing conditions set forth in ARTICLE III (other than those conditions to be satisfied at the

Closing itself, but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied at the Closing or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, those conditions that have been waived in writing by the party hereto entitled to the benefit of such condition); provided, that all such closing conditions (other than those conditions to be satisfied at the Closing itself, but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied at the Closing or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, those conditions that have been waived in writing by the party hereto entitled to the benefit of such condition) continue to be satisfied at all times during such two (2) Business Day period until the Closing or (b) at such other time or date as Parent and Seller may mutually agree in writing; provided that, without the consent of Parent, the Closing will not occur prior to September 2, 2021. The date of the Closing is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

I.11.Closing Deliveries.

(a)By Seller. At or prior to the Closing, Seller will deliver to Parent all of the following:

(i)Certificates, or affidavits of lost certificates, representing 100% of the Shares and 100% of the outstanding equity securities of Vector Laboratories Limited and (if not dissolved prior to Closing) Vector Laboratories (Canada), Inc., free and clear of all Claims (other than transfer restrictions under applicable securities laws) duly endorsed in blank or with duly executed stock powers;

(ii)resignations of each of the officers and directors or managers, as applicable, of each Acquired Company, effective as of the Closing (if and as requested by Parent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), together with a release of rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses in favor of the Acquired Companies from the officers and directors of the Acquired Companies identified on Exhibit F-1, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent;

(v)an IRS Form W-9 completed and properly executed by Seller;

(vi)the Escrow Agreement, duly executed by Seller; and

(vii)the Transition Services Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, with designated services to be mutually agreed by the parties in accordance with Section 4.6 (the “Transition Services Agreement”), duly executed by Seller.

(ii)a certificate of good standing of Parent, issued as of a recent date by the Secretary of State of Delaware;

(iii)the Escrow Agreement, duly executed by Parent and the Escrow Agent; and

(iv)the Transition Services Agreement, duly executed by Parent.

I.12.Withholding. Parent and each Acquired Company, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Estimated Merger Consideration and the Merger Consideration (as the case may be) and any other payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts that Parent or each Acquired Company, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any provision of applicable Law; provided that, if any such deduction or withholding is required under applicable Law (other than any such withholding or deduction in respect of payments treated as compensation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes), Parent shall promptly (but, absent a change in applicable Law, in no event less than five (5) days prior) notify Seller in writing of the amount and basis of such deduction and withholding and shall cooperate in good faith with Seller to mitigate or eliminate any such requirement to deduct or withhold to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Parent acknowledges and agrees that it is not aware of any obligation to make any deduction or withholding with respect to the Seller as of the date hereof, assuming Seller provides the form described in Section 1.11(a)(v) and assuming no change in Law after the date hereof. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such amounts shall be timely remitted by Parent or the Acquired Company to the appropriate Governmental Authority, and such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent or any Acquired Company.

ARTICLE II
Representations and Warranties

II.1.Representations and Warranties of Parent. Parent represents and warrants to Seller as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:

(a)Organization, and Standing. Parent is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. Parent has all necessary power and authority to conduct its business as its business is now being conducted. Parent is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned or held under lease or the nature of its activities makes such qualifications necessary.

(b)Power and Authority. Parent has full corporate power and authority to enter into and perform (i) this Agreement and (ii) all documents and instruments executed by Parent in connection with this Agreement (collectively, “Parent’s Ancillary Documents”). This Agreement and Parent’s Ancillary Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Parent. This Agreement and each Ancillary Document to which Parent is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of Parent, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or any other similar Law affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at Law).

(c)Consents.

(i)The execution, delivery and performance by Parent of this Agreement and Parent’s Ancillary Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) violate any Law to which Parent or any of its properties or assets are subject or (ii) violate or conflict with Parent’s Organizational Documents or of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or of any arbitration award (each, an “Order”).

(ii)The execution, delivery and performance by Parent of this Agreement and Parent’s Ancillary Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not require any filing or registration by Parent with, or notice by Parent to, or authorization, qualification, consent, order or approval or other action with respect to Parent by, any Governmental Authority.

(d)Litigation. There is no Proceeding or other compliance or enforcement action before any commission or other Governmental Authority pending, or, to Parent’s knowledge, threatened, which would adversely affect Parent’s performance under this Agreement or Parent’s Ancillary Documents, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e)Investment Intent; Restricted Securities. Parent is acquiring the Shares solely for Parent’s own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a present view to, or with any present intention of, reselling or otherwise distributing such Shares or dividing its participation herein with others. Parent understands and acknowledges

that (A) none of the Shares have been registered or qualified under the Securities Act, or under any securities Laws, in reliance upon specific exemptions thereunder for transactions not involving any public offering; (B) all of such Shares constitute “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act; (C) none of such Shares are traded or tradable on any securities exchange or over the counter; and (D) none of such Shares may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to such Shares and qualification in accordance with any applicable state securities Laws becomes effective or unless such registration and qualification is inapplicable, or an exemption therefrom is available. Parent will not transfer or otherwise dispose of any such Shares acquired hereunder or any interest therein in any manner that may cause Parent to be in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Laws. Parent is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act.

(f)Availability of Funds; Solvency. Parent will have at the Closing sufficient funds to make payment of all amounts to be paid by it hereunder on and after the Closing Date, in accordance with the Equity Commitment Letter. Parent is not entering into this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors. Assuming (i) the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of Seller as set forth in Section 2.2 and (ii) the Acquired Companies’ solvency immediately prior to the Closing, then as of the Closing and immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereunder, including the making of the payments contemplated under this Agreement, including any related fees and expenses, Parent and its Subsidiaries (which at such time will include the Acquired Companies), taken as a whole, will be Solvent. For purposes of this Section 2.1(e), “Solvent” means that, with respect to any Person and as of any date of determination, (A) the amount of the “present fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person, will, as of such date, exceed the amount of all “liabilities of such Person, contingent or otherwise,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable federal Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, (B) the present fair saleable value of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the liability of such Person on its Indebtedness as its Indebtedness becomes absolute and matured, (C) such Person will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to conduct its business, and (D) such Person will be able to pay its Indebtedness as it matures.

(g)No Prior Activities. Parent was formed for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except for obligations or liabilities incurred in connection with or incidental to its formation and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent has not incurred, directly or indirectly, any obligations or liabilities or engaged in any business activities.

(h)Brokers and Finders. Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates has retained, engaged or entered into any Contract with any Person who is or will be entitled to a

broker’s commission, finder’s fee, investment banker’s fee or similar payment in connection with (i) the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) introducing the parties hereto to each other.

II.2.Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller represents and warrants to Parent as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:

(a)Organization and Standing.

(i)Each Acquired Company is a corporation or limited company, as applicable, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or the foreign equivalent) under the Laws of its state of incorporation or formation. Each Acquired Company has all necessary power and authority to conduct its business as its business is now being conducted. Each Acquired Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned or held under lease or the nature of its activities makes such qualifications necessary, and each such jurisdiction is set forth on Schedule 2.2(a)(i).

(ii)True and complete copies of the Organizational Documents of each Acquired Company and all amendments thereto, all equity records and all minute books and records of each Acquired Company have been delivered to Parent, to the extent reasonably available. The minute books and records of each Acquired Company contain true and complete copies of all material resolutions adopted by the equityholders of such Person, the board of managers, directors or equivalent governing body of such Person. No Acquired Company is in material violation of any of its Organizational Documents.

(b)Power and Authority. Seller has full corporate power and authority to enter into and perform (i) this Agreement and (ii) all documents and instruments executed by Seller in connection with this Agreement (collectively, “Seller’s Ancillary Documents”). This Agreement and Seller’s Ancillary Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Seller. This Agreement and each Seller’s Ancillary Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or any other similar Law affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at Law).

The Acquired Companies do not participate in, and have no liability with respect to, a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” within the meaning of Section 3(40)(A) of ERISA or a voluntary employee beneficiary association within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. There are no pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened claims against or otherwise involving any Employee Plan (other than routine claims for benefits), and there are no pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened Proceedings by the IRS, United States Department of Labor or other Governmental Authority with respect to any Employee Plan, and there are to Seller’s Knowledge not any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any liability in the event of any such claim or Proceeding, in each case except as would not result in material liability to an Acquired Company.

None of the Acquired Companies have any material liability (including on

account of an ERISA Affiliate) on account of any violation of the health care requirements of Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA or under Sections 4980B of the Code. The Acquired Companies have complied, in all material respects, with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 and the security requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.

(vii)Except as set forth on Schedule 2.2(p)(vii), neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) will or could reasonably be expected to (A) entitle any current or former director, officer, employee or consultant of the Acquired Companies or any current or former Business Employee to any payment (including severance pay or similar compensation), any cancellation of indebtedness, or any increase in compensation; (B) result in the acceleration of payment, funding or vesting under any Employee Plan; (C) result in any increase in benefits payable under any Employee Plan; or (D) result in any Business Employee forfeiting any accrued compensation or benefits.

Prior to the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE V, Seller will permit, and cause the Acquired Companies to permit, Parent and its Representatives to have reasonable access to the books and records of the Acquired Companies (the “Records”) and to the employees, premises, facilities and offices of the Acquired Companies, in each case during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice and, during such period shall furnish promptly to Parent any information readily available and concerning the Acquired Companies as Parent may reasonably request; provided, that Parent and its Representatives shall not unreasonably disrupt the personnel and operations of the Acquired Companies and shall not be permitted to perform any environmental sampling or testing at any Leased Premises, including sampling or testing of soil, groundwater, surface water, building materials, air or wastewater, without Seller’s consent. All information provided pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be subject to that certain confidentiality agreement between Xxxxxxxx Street Capital Manager, LLC and Seller entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (as amended to date, the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.1, Seller may withhold any document (or portions thereof) or information (a) that constitute privileged attorney-client communications or attorney work product, the transfer of which, or the provision of access to which, as determined in good faith by Seller, would reasonably be expected to risk a waiver of such privilege or (b) if the provision of access to such document (or portion thereof) or information would conflict with applicable Laws; provided that Seller shall give Parent notice of any information so withheld and the parties shall cooperate in seeking to find a way to allow disclosure of such information to the extent doing so would not be reasonably likely (in the good

faith belief of Seller (after consultation with outside counsel)) to cause such privilege to be waived with respect to such information or to not conflict with such applicable Law.

IV.2.Conduct of Business Prior to Closing. Prior to the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement except (a) as set forth on Schedule 4.2, (b) as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement (including the consummation of the Vector Canada Dissolution), (c) as required by Law, (d) as consented to in writing by Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), or (e) for the use of available cash to repay any Indebtedness and pay Transaction Expenses prior to the Closing, Seller shall and shall cause the Acquired Companies and, with respect to the Solulink Business, TriLink and its Affiliates to, (i) use its reasonable best efforts to carry on the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to keep intact the Business, keep available the services of its current employees and preserve their relationships with customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees, distributors and others with whom it deals, (iii) not take any action that would be required to be set forth on Schedule 2.2(l) if such action had been taken prior to the date hereof, (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to maintain its assets in the Ordinary Course of Business in good operating order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and (v) not incur any Claims in respect to indebtedness for borrowed money, other than Permitted Claims, on the property and assets of the Acquired Companies.

Seller shall promptly advise Parent in writing of the occurrence of any matter or event that would make the timely satisfaction of any of the conditions to closing set forth in ARTICLE III.

(v)in no event will Seller or any Acquired Company be required to (A) pay any commitment fee or other fee or payment to obtain consent, or to incur any liability with respect to, or cause or permit any Claim to be placed on any of their respective assets in

connection with, the Financing (or any agreement or document in connection therewith) before the Closing, (B) disclose information in connection with the Financing where the Company determines that such disclosure could jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or contravene any law or contract, (C) provide cooperation in connection with the Financing to the extent it could cause any condition to the Closing not to be satisfied or a breach of this Agreement or (D) take any action in connection with the Financing that could unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Acquired Companies.

(b)Parent will promptly, upon request by Seller, reimburse Seller, its Affiliates or an Acquired Company, as applicable, for all fees, costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of any advisors) incurred by such Persons and their respective advisors in connection with this Section 4.5 and will indemnify and hold harmless each such Person and their respective advisors from and against all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information used in connection therewith except, in each case, to the extent such losses arose from the intentional breach or willful misconduct of Seller, its Affiliates or any Acquired Company or from any material inaccuracy of any information provided to Parent by Seller, its Affiliates or any Acquired Company.

(i)if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before November 3, 2021 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.1(b)(i) shall not be available to a party if the failure of the Closing to have been consummated on or before the Outside Date was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform in any material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(ii)if any Restraint having the effect set forth in Section 3.1(a) shall be in effect and shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.1(b)(ii) shall not be

available to a party if the issuance of such Restraint was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform in any material respect;

(c)by Parent if Seller shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 3.2(a) or Section 3.2(b), respectively, and (ii) cannot be cured by the Outside Date or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice from Parent stating Parent’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.1(c) and the basis for such termination; provided that Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.1(c) if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement hereunder; or

(d)by Seller if Parent shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(b), respectively, and (ii) cannot be cured by Parent by the Outside Date or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice from Seller stating Seller’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.1(d) and the basis for such termination; provided that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.1(d) if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement hereunder; provided, further, that neither a breach by Parent of Section 1.10 nor the failure to deliver the Merger Consideration payments pursuant to ARTICLE I at the Closing as required hereunder shall be subject to cure hereunder.

(i)For purposes of Sections 6.5(a) and 7.1(c), whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of any Acquired Company for a Straddle Period, the determination of the Taxes of any Acquired Company for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two (2) taxable years or periods, one of which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other of which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date, and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of such Acquired Company for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two (2) taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of such Acquired Company were closed at the close of the Closing Date; provided, however, that

exemptions, allowances, deductions or Taxes that are calculated on an annual basis, such as property Taxes and depreciation deductions, shall be apportioned between such two (2) taxable years or periods on a daily basis; provided, further, that for purposes of such allocation, transactions occurring or actions taken on the Closing Date but after the Closing by Parent or by, or with respect to, the Acquired Companies that are outside the ordinary course of business and not expressly contemplated by this Agreement shall be treated as occurring after the Closing Date.

(ii)To the extent permitted or required under applicable Tax Law, the taxable year of the Acquired Companies shall close as of the end of the Closing Date. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, all Transaction Tax Deductions shall be allocated to the taxable period ending on the Closing Date or the preClosing portion of the Straddle Period, as applicable and, as and to the extent applicable, an election shall be made to deduct seventy percent (70%) of all “success based” fees under Revenue Procedure 2011-29, 2011 IRB 18.

(iii)Seller and Parent shall each be liable for one-half (1/2) and pay one-half (1/2), and pursuant to ARTICLE VII, shall defend, indemnify, save and keep harmless each Parent Indemnitee and Seller Indemnitee against and from all Damages sustained or incurred by such Parent Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee resulting from or arising out of, any real property transfer, sales Tax, use Tax, stamp Tax, stock transfer Tax, or other similar Tax imposed on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The party required by applicable Law to file any related Tax Return with respect to such Taxes shall prepare such Tax Return, and the other party shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of such Tax Return.

(b)Tax Returns. Seller shall timely file or cause to be timely filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) (x) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to any Acquired Company on a combined, consolidated or unitary basis with Seller or any Affiliate thereof (“Consolidated Seller Tax Return”) and (y) all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to any Acquired Company on or prior to the Closing Date, and in each case Seller shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Parent shall timely file or cause to be timely filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all Tax Returns not described in the preceding sentence that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period and are required to be filed by any Acquired Company after the Closing Date (“Parent Tax Return”) and Parent shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Each of Seller and Parent shall prepare and file all Tax Returns for which it has responsibility pursuant to this Section 6.5(b) in a manner consistent with past practice (except to the extent required by applicable Law). Parent shall provide a copy of each Parent Tax Return to Seller at least fifteen (15) days prior to filing such Tax Return for Seller’s review, comment and approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the

contrary, Parent and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) shall have no right to review any Consolidated Seller Tax Return. All transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing shall be reported as occurring on the day following the Closing Date to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation § 1.150276(b)(1)(ii)(B) (and any similar provisions of state, local, or non-U.S. Tax Law).

(c)Contest Provisions.

(i)Parent shall notify Seller in writing upon receipt by Parent, any of its Affiliates or, after the Closing Date, the Acquired Companies of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments with respect to any of the Acquired Companies relating to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or to any Straddle Period; provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Parent’s right to indemnification under this Agreement except to the extent such failure materially impairs Seller’s ability to contest any such Tax liabilities.

(ii)Seller shall have the sole right to represent the interests of the Acquired Companies in any Tax audit or other Proceeding that could give rise to a Tax liability for which Seller would be required to indemnify Parent Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7.1(c) and that relates solely to a taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date and to employ counsel of Seller’s choice at Seller’s expense; provided, however, that Seller shall have no right to represent the interests of the Acquired Companies in any Tax audit or other Proceeding unless Seller shall have first notified Parent in writing of Seller’s intention to do so and of the identity of counsel, if any, chosen by Seller in connection therewith at the xxxx Xxxxxx seeks to represent an Acquired Company’s interest in any such Tax audit or other Proceeding; provided, further, that Parent and its Representatives (1) shall be permitted, at Parent’s expense, to be present at, and participate in, any such Tax audit or other Proceeding, and (2) shall have the right to assume sole control from Seller in such Tax audit or other Proceeding (other than any audit or Proceeding related to Consolidated Seller Tax Returns) at any time after it is determined in good faith that the remaining Indemnity Escrow Amount or (after reduction for all pending claims) along with any other amounts pledged by Seller to secure all of Seller’s obligations in connection with such Tax audit or other Proceeding (collectively, the “Available Amount”) is less than 100% of the reasonably determined maximum amount of Damages for which Seller may be liable under this Agreement in connection with or arising from such Tax audit or other Proceeding (such maximum amount, as determined from time to time, the “Maximum Liability Estimate”) and in the event Parent assumes such control, the provisions of Section 6.5(c)(iii) shall apply with respect to Parent’s conduct of such audit or Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller shall be entitled to settle, either administratively or after the

commencement of litigation, any claim for Taxes which would adversely affect the liability for Taxes of any Parent Indemnitee, the Acquired Companies or any Affiliate thereof for any period after the Closing Date to any extent unless Seller indemnifies each Parent Indemnitee against Taxes arising from any such settlement without the prior written consent of Parent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(iii)Parent shall have the sole right to represent the Acquired Companies’ interests in any Tax audit or other Proceeding relating to Tax liabilities or Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period other than those for which Seller has exercised such right pursuant to Section 6.5(c)(ii) and to employ counsel of Parent’s choice at Parent’s expense; provided, that (1) Seller and its Representatives shall be permitted, at Seller’s expense, to be present at, and participate in, any such Tax audit or other Proceeding and to employ advisors of its choice, (2) Parent shall keep Seller reasonably informed regarding status of such audit of Proceeding and shall provide Seller with opportunity to review any written submissions made in connection therewith, and (3) Parent shall not settle or compromise any such audit or Proceeding without Seller’s written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, in each case, to the extent Seller would be liable for any Taxes arising from such Tax audit or Proceeding. Parent shall have the sole right to defend the Acquired Companies with respect to any issue, and settle or compromise any issue, arising in connection with any Tax audit or other Proceeding to the extent Parent shall have agreed in writing to forego any indemnification under this Agreement with respect to such issue. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent shall not have any right to control or participate in any Tax audit or Proceeding related to any Consolidated Seller Tax Return or liability associated therewith.

(d)Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing, each of Seller and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to):

(i)timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns or other reports with respect to, Taxes described in Section 6.5(a)(iii) (relating to sales, transfer and similar Taxes);

(ii)assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing in Section 6.5(b), and in connection therewith, provide the other party with any necessary powers of attorney;

(iii)cooperate fully in preparing for and defending any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies;

(iv)make available to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of the Acquired Companies; provided that Seller shall not be required to provide to Parent or any of its Affiliates any Tax Returns of Seller; and

(v)furnish the other with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies; provided, that Parent shall only be obligated to furnish copies of such correspondence to Seller to the extent such audit or information request relates to Taxes for which Seller may be liable under the terms of this Agreement.

(e)Termination of Tax Sharing Arrangements. Any Tax sharing arrangement entered into by either Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than an Acquired Company), on the one hand, and any Acquired Company, on the other hand, shall be terminated as to each Acquired Company at or prior to the Closing, and after the Closing no Acquired Company shall have any liability thereunder.

(f)Voluntary Disclosure Filings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 6.5(c)), from and after the Closing, Parent shall cause the Acquired Companies, in the Ordinary Course of Business, to conduct, control, settle or otherwise compromise any and all voluntary disclosure agreements, initiatives and similar processes that have been previously initiated with respect to any Acquired Company, including the filing or amendment of any Tax Return or agreement, for the mitigation of any Tax liability for any unpaid sales or use Taxes (or any similar or equivalent Taxes) attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (collectively, “Voluntary Disclosure Filings”); provided, that (1) Seller and its Representatives shall be permitted, at Seller’s expense, to be present at, and participate in, any telephonic, virtual or in-person meeting with any Governmental Authority and to employ advisors of its choice in connection with such Voluntary Disclosure Filing, (2) Parent shall keep Seller reasonably informed regarding status of such Voluntary Disclosure Filing and shall provide Seller with opportunity to review any written submissions made in connection therewith, and (3) Parent shall not finalize or enter into any agreement with a Governmental Authority in connection with any such Voluntary Disclosure Filing without Seller’s written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, in each case, to the extent Seller would be liable for any Taxes arising from such Voluntary Disclosure Filing. Parent shall permit Seller to seek to minimize such Taxes, including by obtaining any exemption certificate, any direct pay permit and/or confirmation that customers have self-assessed and/or remitted any use Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.5(f) shall limit the Parent Indemnitees’ right to indemnification in respect of any Damages (including the Taxes and costs and expenses associated with the Voluntary Disclosure Filings) pursuant to Section 7.1(d) and all such indemnification rights shall be subject to the applicable limitations set forth in ARTICLE VII.

(g)Refunds.

(i)To the extent any determination of the Tax liability of any Acquired Company, whether as the result of an audit or examination, a claim for refund, the filing of a Tax Return or amendment thereto or otherwise, results in any refund actually received or utilized (including any amounts credited in lieu of a cash refund) of Taxes paid for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, to the extent such refund results from losses or deductions generated or otherwise attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and does not result from any change in Law that is retroactive to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and net of any Taxes actually incurred by Parent or any Affiliate of Parent as a result of the receipt of such refund (together with any interest received or credited with respect thereto, a “Tax Refund”), any such Tax Refund, shall belong to Seller to the extent such Tax Refund was not specifically taken into account in the final determination of the Merger Consideration, as finally determined hereunder. Parent shall promptly pay (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) the amount of any such Tax Refund to Seller within five (5) Business Days following receipt of any such Tax Refund (or in the case of a credit or offset in lieu of a cash refund, upon the filing of a Tax Return claiming or otherwise utilizing the benefit thereof) by Parent, any Acquired Company or any of their Affiliates.

(ii)Parent shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies and their Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with Seller, at Seller’s expense, to apply for and obtain any Tax Refund described in the preceding subsection, it being understood that where permitted any such Tax Refund shall be claimed in cash rather than as a credit against future Tax liabilities. Parent shall make reasonable best efforts not to, and shall cause the Acquired Companies and any Affiliates thereof to make reasonable best efforts not to, forfeit, fail to collect, or otherwise minimize or delay any Tax Refund to which Seller is entitled hereunder, whether through any election, carryback, or otherwise.

(iii)All payments made pursuant to this Section 6.5(g) shall be treated by all parties for applicable income Tax purposes as adjustments to the Merger Consideration unless otherwise required by a final “determination” within the meaning of Code Section 1313(a) (or any corresponding provision under state, local, or non-U.S. law) or pursuant to a good faith resolution of a Tax audit or Proceeding.

(iv)Parent’s obligations under this Section 6.5(g) shall terminate once the Indemnity Escrow Amount has been reduced to zero.

(h)Certain Post-Closing Actions. To the extent that such action could reasonably be expected to increase the Tax liability of Seller, none of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) shall (or shall cause or permit any other

Person to) (i) file (except in accordance with Section 6.5(b)), amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to the Acquired Companies with respect to any PreClosing Tax Period, (ii) agree to waive or extend the statute of limitations relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies, (iii) make, revoke or change any Tax election with respect to, or that has retroactive effect to, any PreClosing Tax Period of the Acquired Companies, (iv) file any ruling or request with any Tax authority that relates to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (v) make any election under Code Section 338 or Code Section 336 (or any similar provision under state, local or non-U.S. law) with respect to the acquisition of the Acquired Companies, or (vi) except in accordance with and to the extent permitted by Section 6.5(f), voluntarily approach or engage in any voluntary disclosure with any Governmental Authority regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies with respect to a PreClosing Tax Period, including in jurisdictions in which the Acquired Companies have not filed Tax Returns or paid Taxes, in each case of clause (i)-(vii), without the prior written consent of Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

VI.6.Seller Release. Effective as of the Closing, Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives, successors and assigns (as applicable), (a) irrevocably and unconditionally waives, releases and forever discharges Parent, each Acquired Company and their Affiliates and its and their current, former and future Representatives, partners, general partners, limited partners, managing directors, directors, officers, managers, members, stockholders, trustees, principals, parents, subsidiaries, joint ventures, predecessors, successors, assigns, beneficiaries, heirs or executors (collectively, the “Parent Released Parties”) from any and all rights, commitments, actions, debts, claims, counterclaims, suits, causes of action, damages, demands, liabilities, losses, obligations, costs, expenses and compensation of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, matured or contingent and whether arising in law, in equity or otherwise, in each case in any way arising out of, or by reason of, or relating to, (i) the fact that Seller is or was, directly or directly, a holder of shares of the equity securities of the Company or any of its present or former Subsidiaries or (ii) the organization, management or operation of the businesses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case relating to any matter, occurrence, action or activity at or prior to the Closing and (b) irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claims or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any Proceeding of any kind against any Parent Released Party. Seller represents to Parent that such Person has not assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any Person all or any part of, or any interest in, any claim against any Parent Released Party or any of its Representatives and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no such assignment or transfer shall be permitted and any purported assignment or transfer shall be legally ineffective. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, nothing herein constitutes a waiver or release by such Person of claims or rights arising under this Agreement or Seller’s Ancillary Documents or any claims or rights with respect to any Affiliate of Parent that is a “portfolio company” of such Affiliate in connection with any matter unrelated to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.

VI.7.Parent Release. Effective as of the Closing, Parent and each Acquired Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and its and their respective Representatives, successors and assigns (as applicable), (a) irrevocably and unconditionally waives, releases and forever discharges Seller and its Affiliates and its and their current, former and future Representatives, partners, general partners, limited partners, managing directors, directors, officers, managers, members, stockholders, trustees, principals, parents, subsidiaries, joint ventures, predecessors, successors, assigns, beneficiaries, heirs or executors (collectively, the “Seller Released Parties”) from any and all rights, commitments, actions, debts, claims, counterclaims, suits, causes of action, damages, demands, liabilities, losses, obligations, costs, expenses and compensation of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, matured or contingent and whether arising in law, in equity or otherwise, in each case in any way arising out of, or by reason of, or relating to, (i) the fact that Seller is or was, directly or directly, a holder of shares of the equity securities of the Company or any of its present or former Subsidiaries or (ii) the organization, management or operation of the businesses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case relating to any matter, occurrence, action or activity at or prior to the Closing and (b) irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claims or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any Proceeding of any kind against any Seller Released Party. Parent and each Acquired Company represents to Seller that such Person has not assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any Person all or any part of, or any interest in, any claim against any Seller Released Party or any of its Representatives and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no such assignment or transfer shall be permitted and any purported assignment or transfer shall be legally ineffective. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, nothing herein constitutes a waiver or release by such Person of claims or rights arising under this Agreement or Parent’s Ancillary Documents or any claims or rights with respect to any Affiliate of Seller that is a “portfolio company” of such Affiliate in connection with any matter unrelated to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.

VI.8.Maravai Guarantee.

(a)Each Maravai Guarantor shall, jointly and severally, cause the performance of any and all agreements, covenants and obligations of Seller set forth in this Agreement (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Maravai Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely, continually and irrevocably guarantees to Parent and its successors and assigns full and punctual performance, discharge and/or payment, as applicable, of all of the Guaranteed Obligations (such guarantee, the “Maravai Guarantee”) and shall be liable, jointly and severally, for any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Seller under this Agreement. The Maravai Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and performance and not merely collection. The Maravai Guarantee and the obligations of the Maravai Guarantors under this Section 6.8 shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason, and the liability of the Maravai Guarantors under the Maravai Guarantee is exclusive and independent of any other guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether executed by either Maravai Guarantor, by any other

guarantor or by any other Person. Without limitation as to the foregoing, no amendment to this Agreement (except an amendment to this Section 6.8) or any of Seller’s Ancillary Documents or any of Parent’s Ancillary Documents, including an amendment that amends, modifies, extends or accelerates the time or manner of payment and/or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, shall, with or without any notice to or consent of the Maravai Guarantors, in any way discharge, terminate, release, affect or impair the obligations of the Maravai Guarantors under the Maravai Guarantee.

(b)With respect to the Maravai Guarantee, each Maravai Guarantor waives (i) notice of the Guaranteed Obligations and the acceptance of the Maravai Guarantee by Parent, (ii) promptness, diligence, protest, presentment, demand for payment, notice of default or nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of protest and all other notices of any kind, (iii) all defenses based on Seller’s failure to duly authorize, execute or deliver this Agreement or any of Seller’s Ancillary Documents or any of Parent’s Ancillary Documents, based on any claim as to unenforceability of this Agreement or any of Seller’s Ancillary Documents or any of Parent’s Ancillary Documents or based on any other occurrence or state of facts that would cause any representation or warranty of Seller under this Agreement or any of Seller’s Ancillary Documents or Parent’s Ancillary Documents not to be true and correct, (iv) any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations under this Section 6.8 and the Maravai Guarantee by reason of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor-relief proceeding and any right to require the marshalling of assets of Seller, (v) all defenses that may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other Law now or hereafter in effect and (vi) all other defenses of a surety or guarantor to which it may be entitled; provided, however, that, except for the defenses described in clause (v) of this sentence, the Maravai Guarantors shall be entitled to assert as a defense against the Maravai Guarantee with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation any defense that Seller would be entitled to assert with respect to such Guaranteed Obligation.

(c)Without limitation of the foregoing, the obligations of each Maravai Guarantor under this Section 6.8 and the liability of each Maravai Guarantor under the Maravai Guarantee shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, terminated or affected by (i) any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of any Guarantee Beneficiary; (iii) any claim, setoff, defense or other right that either Maravai Guarantor may have against Seller (other than pursuant to this Agreement or any of Seller’s Ancillary Documents or any of Parent’s Ancillary Documents); (iv) any delay or failure by Seller in the exercise of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, including under this Section 6.8, or any of Seller’s Ancillary Documents or any of Parent’s Ancillary Documents; (v) any delay or failure of Seller to enforce this Agreement or any of Seller’s Ancillary Documents or any of Parent’s Ancillary Documents against Seller or to obtain any judgment against Seller or to pursue any action to enforce any judgment against Seller; (vi) any direction as to application of payment by Seller or by any other Person; (vii) any other continuing or

other guarantee, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other Person as to any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (viii) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guarantee or undertaking; (ix) any termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by Seller; (x) any change, reorganization or termination of the corporate or limited liability company structure or existence of either Maravai Guarantor or Seller or any of their subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (xi) any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

(d)Each Maravai Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Section 6.8 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Parent shall not be obliged to exhaust its recourse against Seller or any guarantee or security that Seller may hold before being entitled to performance from the Maravai Guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Maravai Guarantor’s obligations under the Maravai Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully paid, performed, satisfied and discharged. To the extent a Maravai Guarantor or Seller shall make a payment with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation, which payment is subsequently invalidated, is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided and/or required to be repaid to a Maravai Guarantor, Seller, a trustee, a receiver or any other Person, including under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the Guaranteed Obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made. Neither Maravai Guarantor shall exercise any rights of subrogation that it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the Maravai Guarantee to the claims of Seller against Seller or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any such other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the Maravai Guarantee until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully performed, satisfied and discharged. Neither Maravai Guarantor shall exercise any right to enforce any other remedy which Seller now has or may hereafter have against any such other guarantor, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully paid, performed, satisfied and discharged. This Section 6.8 applies to any assignee of Seller under Section 8.9 as if references in this Section 6.8 to Seller were to such assignee (and, in the case of any such application of this Section 6.8, the term Guaranteed Obligations means all of such assignee’s agreements, covenants and obligations under this Agreement and any of Seller’s Ancillary Documents and any of Parent’s Ancillary Documents).

(e)Maravai LifeSciences Holdings represents and warrants that it is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of Delaware.

VI.9.Use of Retained Marks.

(a)Parent, for itself and its controlled Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies), acknowledges and agrees that Seller (or its Affiliates) are the exclusive owners of the Trademarks set forth on Schedule 6.9(a) (the “Licensed Marks”) and that neither Parent nor any of such Affiliates is, directly or indirectly, purchasing, acquiring or otherwise obtaining any right, title or interest in or to any Trademarks (including the Licensed Marks), domain names, or other source identifiers together with the goodwill associated therewith owned by Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) (including the Licensed Marks) (“Seller Names”) other than those set forth on Schedule 2.2(x)(i) or otherwise owned by the Acquired Companies, and (i) neither Parent nor any of its controlled Affiliates (including, after the

Closing, the Acquired Companies) shall have any rights in or to the Seller Names, (ii) on the Closing Date, Parent shall (and shall cause its controlled Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies, to) cease use of (and thereafter not use) the Seller Names, and (iii) Parent shall not, and Parent shall cause its controlled Affiliates (and after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) not to (A) use, register or seek to use or register in any jurisdiction any of the Seller Names or any other marks confusingly similar thereto or (B) contest the use, ownership, validity or enforceability of any rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates in or to any of the Seller Names. After the Closing, Parent shall not (and shall cause its controlled Affiliates, including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies, not to) represent that it has authority to bind Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(b)Seller hereby grants or hereby agrees to cause Seller’s Affiliates to grant, as applicable, to the Acquired Companies a limited, irrevocable license to use, on a transitional basis, for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, the Licensed Marks solely in connection with the operation of the Business as operated prior to the Closing, and solely in a manner consistent in all material respects (including from a quality and brand guideline perspective) with the manner and nature of use immediately prior to the Closing. Seller shall have the right to exercise quality control over the use of the Licensed Marks by the Acquired Companies to the degree reasonably necessary to maintain the validity and enforceability of the Licensed Marks, and to protect the goodwill associated therewith; provided that use of the Licensed Marks with products and services meeting quality consistent with past practice prior to the Closing shall be deemed to meet Seller’s quality control standard. Seller shall have the right to terminate the license granted in this Section 6.9(b), if an Acquired Company or any of its Affiliates breaches this Section 6.9(b) in any material respect (and such Person does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receiving Seller’s notice thereof).

(c)Parent shall ensure that all use of the Licensed Marks by Parent and the Acquired Companies, after the Closing, as provided in this Section 6.9, shall be consistent with their use by the Acquired Companies as of the Closing and only with respect to goods and services of a level of quality equal to or greater than the quality of goods and services with respect to which the Acquired Companies used the Licensed Marks prior to the Closing. The Acquired Companies shall not: (i) use the Licensed Marks in any manner that would reasonably be expected to damage, impair, or tarnish in any material respect the reputation of Seller or its Affiliates or the goodwill associated with any Licensed Xxxx; or (ii) contest the validity of any of the Licensed Marks. Any and all goodwill generated by the use of the Licensed Marks, including under this Section 6.9, shall inure solely to the benefit of Seller and/or its Affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding Parent and the Acquired Companies).

VI.10.Employee Matters. Except as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement, (x) effective as of the Closing, the Acquired Companies will cease to be participating employers in, and the Business Employees will cease to be active participants in, each Employee Plan that is not a Company Plan, and (y) Seller and its Affiliates (other than the

Acquired Companies) will cease to be participating employers in, and their respective employees who are not Business Employees will cease to be active participants in, the Company Plans. Following the Closing, the Acquired Companies shall not have any liabilities with respect to the Employee Plans that are not Company Plans, except as may be otherwise provided herein. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to the employees of the Acquired Companies annual cash opportunities that are no less favorable than the annual cash opportunities provided to such employees immediately prior to the Closing Date. Parent further agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause or shall cause the Acquired Companies to grant all of their employees credit for any service with the Acquired Companies earned prior to the Closing Date: (i) for eligibility and vesting purposes; and (ii) for purposes of vacation accrual and severance benefit determinations under any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement that may be established or maintained by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including any Acquired Company) on or after the Closing Date (the “New Plans”), in each case, to the extent such credit was provided for the same purpose as of the Closing under a similar Employee Plan and does not result in duplication of benefits. In addition, Parent shall for the plan year in which the Closing occurs use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusion and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plans that are health benefit plans to the extent waived or satisfied by an employee under any similar Employee Plan, and (B) cause any deductible, co-insurance and out-of-pocket covered expenses paid on or before the Closing Date by any employee (or covered dependent of such employee) of the Acquired Companies to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Closing Date under any applicable New Plan that is a health benefit plan in the year of initial participation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent’s obligations under the immediately two preceding sentences are expressly conditioned on Seller providing Parent with all information reasonably necessary to allow Parent to comply with such obligations. The Acquired Companies shall be solely responsible for any obligations arising under Section 4980B of the Code with respect to all “M&A qualified beneficiaries” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9) in connection with any Company Plan. Seller and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for any obligations arising under Section 4980B of the Code with respect to all “M&A qualified beneficiaries” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9) in connection with any Employee Plan that is not a Company Plan. The provisions contained in this Section 6.10 are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and nothing set forth in this Section 6.10 will (i) confer any rights or remedies upon any employee or former employee of any Acquired Company or upon any other Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns, (ii) be construed to establish, amend, or modify any Employee Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement or (iii) without limiting any of Parent’s obligations under this Section 6.10, alter or limit Parent’s or any Acquired Company’s ability to amend, modify or terminate any specific benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time.

VI.11.Support Obligation.

(a)Parent recognizes that an Affiliate of Seller has provided credit support to the Acquired Companies pursuant to the Burlingame Lease (the “Support Obligation”). Such Affiliate of Seller shall continue to provide the Support Obligation until the expiration of the existing term of the Burlingame Lease. In the event that Parent or any of its Affiliates extends the existing term of the Burlingame Lease, Parent shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to obtain the full and unconditional release of such Affiliates under the Support Obligation with no further obligations or to Seller or any of its Affiliates, in each case effective upon the expiration of the existing term of the Burlingame Lease. Parent shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates from any Damages arising out of the Support Obligation to the extent related to the period after the Closing.

(b)At Parent’s written request prior to the Closing, Seller shall cooperate with Parent in any reasonable manner in connection with the covenants of Parent described in Section 6.11(a); provided, that such cooperation shall not include any requirement of Seller to expend money, commence any litigation or arbitration proceeding or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party.

VI.12.Insurance Matters.

(a)Following the Closing, with respect to any occurrence-based insurance policy of Seller or its Affiliates under which any Acquired Company is an insured or which applies to the Business as of the date hereof, including the occurrence-based insurance policies set forth on Schedule 6.12(a), (i) Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, terminate, modify or amend such policy in any way that would be materially adverse to Parent or the Acquired Companies, and (ii) Parent or the Acquired Companies, as applicable, may make claims under such policies (to the extent of coverage and subject to any policy limits) with respect to events taking place prior to the Closing in respect of any Acquired Company or the Business (and liabilities thereof) under any such past or current insurance policy; provided, however, that Parent shall exclusively bear (and Seller shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse Parent for) the amount of any “deductibles” associated with claims under such policies and shall be liable for all uninsured or uncovered amounts of such claims.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.12 is intended to modify or limit any of Seller’s obligations, or any of Parent’s rights, under ARTICLE VII.

ARTICLE VII
Indemnification

VII.1.Indemnification Obligations of Seller. Seller shall indemnify Parent, its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies), and their respective officers, directors, stockholders, agents

and other representatives, and their successors and assigns (each a “Parent Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Parent Indemnitees”) against and from all Damages incurred by any of them resulting from, arising out of, in connection with or by virtue of:

(a)any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty made by a Maravai Guarantor or Seller in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder at the Closing by or on behalf of Seller pursuant hereto;

(b)other than to the extent set forth in Sections 7.1(c) or 7.1(d), any breach by a Maravai Guarantor or Seller of, or failure by a Maravai Guarantor or Seller to comply with, any of its surviving covenants or obligations under this Agreement;

(c)any Indemnified Taxes;

(d)Voluntary Disclosure Filings, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ expenses (“VDA Taxes”); and

VII.2.Indemnification Obligations of Parent. Parent shall indemnify Seller, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, stockholders, agents and other representatives and their successors and assigns (each a “Seller Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees” and together with any Parent Indemnitees, the “Indemnitees”) from all Damages sustained or incurred by any of them resulting from or arising out of or by virtue of:

(a)any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty made by Parent in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder at the Closing by or on behalf of Parent pursuant hereto; and

(b)any breach by Parent of, or failure by Parent to comply with, any of its surviving covenants or obligations under this Agreement.

VII.3.Limitations on Indemnification Obligations of Seller. Seller’s obligations pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE VII are subject to the following limitations:

(a)The Parent Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 7.1(a) until the aggregate amount of Damages which the Parent Indemnitees would recover under Sections 7.1(a), but for this Section 7.3(a), exceeds Six Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($620,000) (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent such Damages exceed the Deductible; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to recovery for any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2(r) (Taxes).

(b)The Parent Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover from Seller under Sections 7.1(a), 7.1(c), 7.1(d) or 7.1(e) with respect to a particular loss unless a claim has been asserted by written notice, setting forth the basis for such claim (a “Notice of Loss”), delivered to Seller, on or prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any matter that is the subject of a claim for which a Notice of Loss is submitted within the periods specified in the prior sentence, the representation or warranty which is the subject of such claim shall survive, to the extent of such claim, until such claim is resolved, whether or not the amount of the Damages resulting from such breach has been finally determined at the time the notice is given. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed at or prior to the Closing shall survive until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms.

(c)No Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover under Sections 7.1(a), 7.1(c), 7.1(d) or 7.1(e) to the extent that the aggregate Damages actually paid by Seller to Parent under Sections 7.1(a), 7.1(c), 7.1(d) or 7.1(e), in the aggregate, would thereby exceed Six Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($620,000).

(d)Seller hereby waives and releases any and all rights that it may have under this Agreement or otherwise to assert claims of contribution against the Acquired Companies in respect of any indemnity claim under this ARTICLE VII.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Section 7.3 shall not apply to, and the indemnification obligations under Section 7.1 shall not limit, any Parent Indemnitee’s right to recover Damages which result from or arise out of Fraud.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, no Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover under Section 7.1 with respect to any claim related to Taxes (i) for any Tax liability to the extent such Tax liability is specifically taken into account in computing any reduction to the Merger Consideration, (ii) any Taxes attributable to the manner in which Parent finances the transactions contemplated hereunder, or (iii) any change in Law that is retroactive to a Tax period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (iv) any Taxes for any Tax period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date (other than to the extent such Taxes relate to a breach of the representations set forth in Sections 2.2(r)(x), (xi), (xii), (xiii), (xvii), (xxiv) or (xxvi)) or (v) any Taxes arising out of actions or transactions occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing outside of the Ordinary Course of Business.

VII.4.Limitations on Indemnification Obligations of Parent. Parent’s obligations pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE VII are subject to the following limitations:

(a)The Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover from Parent under Section 7.2(a) with respect to a particular loss unless a claim has been asserted by a

Notice of Loss delivered to Parent, on or prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any matter that is the subject of a claim for which a Notice of Loss is submitted within the periods specified in the prior sentence, the representation or warranty which is the subject of such claim shall survive, to the extent of such claim, until such claim is resolved, whether or not the amount of the Damages resulting from such breach has been finally determined at the time the notice is given. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed at or prior to the Closing shall survive until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms.

(b)No Seller Indemnitee shall not be entitled to recover under Section 7.2(a) to the extent that the aggregate Damages actually paid by Parent to Seller thereunder would thereby exceed Twelve Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($12,400,000).

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Section 7.4 shall not apply to, and the indemnification obligations under Section 7.4 shall not limit, Seller’s right to recover Damages which result from or arise out of Fraud.

VII.5.Third Party Claims.

(a)Promptly following the receipt of notice of a Third Party Claim, the party receiving the notice of the Third Party Claim shall (i) notify the other party of its existence setting forth with reasonable specificity the facts and circumstances of which such party has received notice and (ii) if the party giving such notice is an Indemnified Party, specifying the basis hereunder upon which the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification is asserted; provided, however, that the failure to timely give such notice shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby.

(b)Except as herein provided, the Indemnified Party shall not, and the Indemnifying Party shall, have the right to contest, defend, litigate or settle such Third Party Claim, if the defense of a Third Party Claim is so tendered and the Indemnifying Party accepts such tender and acknowledges in writing without qualification its indemnification obligation with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by counsel at its own expense in any such contest, defense, litigation or settlement conducted by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim if it shall fail to diligently contest the Third Party Claim. So long as the Indemnifying Party has not lost its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle as herein provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to contest, defend and litigate the Third Party Claim and shall have the right to enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party may not enter into any settlement of

any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, (i) injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party, (ii) such settlement would create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party in excess of the amount not subject to pending claims under the Indemnity Escrow Amount, or (iii) such settlement would not result in the full and general release of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of a Third Party Claim and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (A) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Proceeding, indictment or allegation, (B) the Third Party Claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief (except where non-monetary relief is merely incidental to a primary claim or claims for monetary damages) or, if adversely determined, would impair in any material respect the financial condition, business, operations, reputation or prospects of Parent or its subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies), (C) the Available Amount is determined in good faith by Parent to be less than twice the Maximum Liability Estimate (both such terms as defined in Section 6.5(c)(ii), applied as though the phrase “audit or proceeding” referred to the Third Party Claim at issue), (D) the Indemnified Party is seeking recovery, or such claim would reduce the retention, under the R&W Insurance Policy, or (E) the Third Party Claim involves any customer, supplier, reseller or other material business relation of the Acquired Companies or Governmental Authority.

(c)Coordination with Tax Contests. If there shall be any conflicts between the provisions of this Section 7.5, on the one hand, and Section 6.5(c) (relating to Tax contests) and Section 6.5(f) (relating to Voluntary Disclosure Filings), on the other hand, the provisions of Section 6.5(c) and Section 6.5(f) shall control with respect to Tax contests and Voluntary Disclosure Filings, respectively.

VII.6.Mitigation. Each party hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to mitigate and otherwise minimize the Damages as required under Law upon and after becoming actually aware of any event that would be reasonably expected to give rise to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VII.

VII.7.Indemnification Payments as an Adjustment to Merger Consideration. Parent and Seller agree to report each indemnification payment made in respect of any Damages as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for federal income Tax purposes unless Seller and Parent determine in good faith that such reporting position is incorrect.

VII.8.R&W Insurance Policy. In the event Parent asserts any claim under the R&W Insurance Policy, Seller agrees to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in accordance with the terms of the R&W Insurance Policy. Following disbursement of the Indemnity Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 7.9, Seller shall have no obligation for any claim brought pursuant to Section 7.1(a), and Parent’s and Parent Indemnitees’ sole recourse for any claim brought pursuant to Section 7.1(a) shall be the R&W Insurance Policy if one is obtained.

VII.9.Disbursement of Indemnity Escrows.

(a)Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the parties agree to cause the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnity Escrow Amount, to the extent of any Indemnity Escrow Amount remaining, any amounts owed under Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(c) to the Parent Indemnitees reasonably promptly following final determination of such amounts owed thereunder in accordance with this ARTICLE VII.

(b)Reasonably promptly following the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the parties shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse to Seller any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount remaining in such account that is not subject to any unresolved claims.

VII.10.Exclusive Remedies.

(a)From and after the Closing, other than in respect of claims which result from or arise out of Fraud, the provisions of this ARTICLE VII and Section 6.4 (Injunctive Relief) set forth the exclusive remedy of the parties hereto for any and all Damages or other claims relating to or arising from this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including in any Exhibit, Schedule, certificate or ancillary document delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.10 shall not (x) operate to interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of ARTICLE I providing for the resolution of certain Disputes relating to the Closing Statement between the parties and/or by the Arbitrating Accountants, (y) limit the rights of the Parties to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief) or (z) limit the rights of the parties to seek any remedies expressly available under any of Seller’s Ancillary Documents or Parent’s Ancillary Documents, including the Transition Services Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing shall limit the liability of any party hereto with respect to Fraud.

(b)The parties hereto agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including Section 7.3 and this Section 7.10), constitute an integral part of the consideration given to Seller, were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to Seller hereunder.

VII.11.Determination of Damages.

(a)The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that qualifications as to materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” (or any similar qualification) in any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein or in any other document contemplated by this Agreement shall be ignored both for the purpose of determining whether a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant has occurred, and for

determining the amount of applicable Damages, which shall be calculated without regard to any such qualifiers contained in any such breached representation, warranty or covenant.

(b)The amount of any Damages subject to indemnification under Section 7.1 or 7.2 shall be calculated net of (i) any Tax benefit realized as an actual reduction in cash taxes payable (including as a result of the receipt of a refund of Taxes previously paid) by the Indemnitee or its Affiliates on account of such Damages in the taxable year in which or prior to which the applicable indemnification payment is made (a “Tax Benefit”) and (ii) any insurance proceeds (excluding any recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy) or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually recovered by the Indemnitee from any third party with respect thereto, net of any premiums and costs of recovery, if any (and Parent will use, and will cause each of its Affiliates to use, its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such insurance proceeds or similar payment). If Parent (or one if its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies from and after the Closing) or Seller (or one of its Affiliates), as applicable, receives a Tax Benefit on account of Damages subject to indemnification under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 within two years of such Damages being incurred, and such Tax Benefit is received after an indemnification payment is made to it (or one of its Affiliates), Parent or Seller, as applicable, shall promptly pay to the other by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the other the amount of such Tax Benefit at such time or times as and to the extent that such Tax Benefit is realized as an actual reduction in cash taxes payable (including as a result of the receipt of a refund of Taxes previously paid) by Parent or Seller (or their respective Affiliates), as applicable.

(c)No Parent Indemnitee shall have any right to indemnification hereunder with respect to any Damages or alleged Damages to the extent such Damages or alleged Damages are expressly included in the adjustment to the Merger Consideration contemplated by Section 1.8 (with the intent of this provision to merely be to avoid “double counting” and not to limit the scope of the representations and warranties hereunder).

(d)For clarity, any Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for Damages or other remedies pursuant to this ARTICLE VII shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation conducted, or any knowledge or information acquired (or capable of being acquired), by such Indemnified Party (or any Representatives of such Indemnified Party) at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, relating to the facts, matters or circumstances constituting or resulting in the breach or inaccuracy (alleged or otherwise) of the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement giving rise to such Damages.

VII.12.Acknowledgment of Parent. Parent acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Acquired Companies,

that Parent has been provided sufficient access to the properties, records and personnel of the Acquired Companies and Seller for this purpose, and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent has relied solely and exclusively on the results of its own independent investigation and verification and the representations and warranties of Seller expressly and specifically set forth in Section 2.2, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules. Such representations and warranties by Seller constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Seller to Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and Parent understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including any relating to the projections, budgets, pipeline reports and other forecasts and plans, future or historical financial condition, results of operations, assets or liabilities of the Acquired Companies, or the quality, quantity or condition of the Acquired Companies’ assets) are specifically disclaimed by Seller and the Acquired Companies. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NONE OF SELLER OR THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES MAKES OR PROVIDES, AND PARENT HEREBY WAIVES, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONFORMITY TO SAMPLES, OR CONDITION OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES’ ASSETS OR ANY PART THEREOF. In connection with Parent's investigation of the Acquired Companies, Parent has received, outside of the representations and warranties set forth herein, certain projections, including projected statements of operating revenues and income from operations of the Acquired Companies and certain business plan information. Parent acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, budgets, pipeline reports and other forecasts and plans, that Parent is familiar with such uncertainties and that Parent is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, budgets, pipeline reports and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, budgets, pipeline reports and other forecasts and plans. Accordingly, Parent hereby acknowledges that neither Seller nor the Acquired Companies is making any representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, budgets, pipeline reports and other forecasts and plans, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, budgets, pipeline reports, forecasts and plans, and that Parent has not relied on any such estimates, projections, budgets, pipeline reports or other forecasts or plans. Parent further agrees, for itself and its Affiliates, that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) neither Seller, the Acquired Companies, their Affiliates nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability to Parent, Parent’s Affiliates or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Parent or any of Parent’s Affiliates, or Parent's or Parent’s Affiliates’ use of, any such information, including any information, document or material made available to Parent or Parent’s Affiliates in certain “data rooms,” management presentations, confidential information memorandum, or any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including liability related to the completeness or accuracy of any such information, and (ii) Parent has not relied on any such information.

VIII.7.WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
